Training Glaciem is her duty. It has been an empire she has built; she and Isardis have spilled blood for these lands, for this pack. Nobody can say they have sacrificed more for Glaciem than Argent can. Not even Sendoa, who pretended to be a true queen and failed. There is only one true Queen of Glaciem, and it is fitting that in her stead it is her daughter her rules. She pauses, feeling the ache in her bones but ignoring it. The woman sends a summons for all members of Glaciem who wish to learn to defend themselves. It would be most beneficial for them to learn from her; she?s never faltered in battle, never lost anything. Her strength is unquestioned, and she will model Glaciem in the same way. She pauses, reclines onto her haunches as her summons echo through the northern wood. Tail swishes behind her as she waits the arrival of others, prepared to give them a hard lesson in battle.

It was certainly rare for Talvi to miss a lesson, the girl was dedicated to her pack that much was certain though she hadn't yet gotten the chance to prove herself, more skills most certainly needed and desired before she could find herself feeling more worthy of the more prestigious ranks within the pack. A lesson with her mother had become a somewhat rare event, though the young girl certainly would not pass up the opportunity to learn from her. Eagerly she would make her way towards the pines, seeking her mother. It wouldn't be long before the search would end, silvery blue eyes finding that familiar form. "Good day mother." She greets her simply with a nod of her head as she comes to a stop before her. She never knew the days of Glaciem when her mother was Queen, though it has certainly never dampened her respect for the woman, the little things she has learnt from her mother have never left the blue and silver girl.

The duo has just settled down for a nap beneath a large pine tree when Argent's voice rings out across the territory. Another training lesson has been called, only this time it was the former queen whom wished to train her peers. Liberty knows the woman is very powerful, she has not been quelled in battle and is by far one of Isardis' most prized possessions. Part of her envy's the woman for her success, and although she does not favor being taught how to fight, she knows Argent is an unbreakable force. She can learn many things from the woman, and she wants the knowledge for her own benefit. If she can learn how to defend herself like Isardis and Argent, she too can become an impeccable being. She lifts herself onto her paws, Ramses following after her as the duo paces across the territory. Argent would fall into her view as she approaches, followed by Talvi, and she aims to halt a few feet from the silver woman, her skull dipping a respectful greeting to the ex queen and her daughter. "I hope you don't mind training me as well, Argent." She says and falls silent, her gaze wavering as she looks around for others to arrive. "Liberty speech" "Ramses speech"

When Athena heard her mother's familiar voice ring out, calling Glaciem's members forward to train, it was just as surprising as it was pleasing. Athena had expected, commanded even, for Sin to call a training in the art of fighting, but she had not considered that her own mother would want to do the same. Athena wasn't upset by this however. No, she was actually excited to have her mother teach her, along with the others that showed up to her call. With Argent's disappearance early in her puppyhood Athena hadn't had the chance to really learn anything from the warrioress that was legendary for her power in battle. Now would be her chance to see her mother in action. Athena hurried toward Argent's call, arriving shortly after Liberty. Talvi had also arrived and Athena was happy to see her blue-hued sibling. She smiled toward her sister and nodded to her Sentinel before turning her two-toned gaze toward her mother. She smirked, padding over to sit beside Argent, feeling a surprising amount of pride in the fact that this was her mother and of the similarities in their appearances. Athena realized she had finally forgiven Argent for her disappearances, she only hoped that Argent would continue to stay by her side and that she could continue to grow to fill the paw prints that the former queen had left behind. Speech Thought Others

Drashiel was clear on the other side of Glaciem when he heard the call. The young brute had been out scouting and taking tally of the prey in preparation for a pack hunt. There were many options in the richness of spring. Flexing his limbs Drashiel took off in a run toward the call and it was no surprise when he straggled in a bit late. He was flustered and suddenly a bit embarassed as he realized the one who had called the meeting was Argent Sight-stealer herself. Talvi, Liberty and Athena were already there and he nodded to each of them in greeting before settling down for the meeting.


"Pardon my tardiness. I was out scouting for the hunt."


"Speech"
'thoughts'

Kyarst's apparently disappearance weighed heavily on the shoulders of the white-furred girl. Her life had been a strange one, but she had grown used to the regularity of their meetings and the comfort that she found in his company. Lysis felt shaken as the days turned into weeks, and one season changed into another. She was stunned at the fact that no others seemed phased by his disappearance -- arguably the most important man in her life had left her, and not a single word had been muttered. She found her strength growing alongside his discomfort. Her brother had been distant, her father all but absent -- she was thankful for Athena's presence in her life, and she found her eyes straying over the crowd as she answered Argent's call with no hesitation in her gait. Slowly she could move to Drashiel, letting her head lean to rest on his shoulder, something she would've done easily months prior. "Drashiel," she uttered under her breath, her gaze focusing on Argent. The meeting had not yet begun, and she felt she could talk to her brother for a moment before anything began. "Why have you not been speaking to me?" Perhaps he hadn't meant to ignore her at all, but she wanted to know regardless.

ooc. holy bajeebus. I have not been paying mind to Impra lately, rofl.

A call for battle training would come. She had been humbled by a bastard child younger than her, but she had not fought in a while. She was fueled by the desire to have blood, or to at least feel the thrill of a great spar. War was apt to occur with the rising tensions between packs, and should Glaciem's allies declare it, she would follow, regardless if the pride was called or not. "I am prepared for training. I do enjoy a good fight." Her rubies glimmered as her lyrics would chime, in luscious and sweet vocals. It seemed she had not been in the Glaciem territories for too long, but she never was one to settle for a dull moment.

Her little Talvi is the first to arrive, followed by the once war bringer. Her head nods at the silver woman, the former-Queen going to press her snout to the top of her girl?s skull in soft affection. Athena arrives next, and smiles at how good it feels to have her daughter sitting next to her, perhaps in what the woman supposes might seem to be forgiveness. Another of Isardis?s children (a child of Euphrosyne, if Argent remembers correctly) arrives, receiving a nod on the part of Argent as his apologizes for being late. His littermate, from what she recalls, is next to come. Last to arrive is Impra, and older albino child whose figure reminds Argent of her own son?s. She smiles softly at the nostalgia, hoping all is well with her sweet Voltaire. ?Today will be rough,? she informs them. ?You all know the basics of fighting, I take it, and if not you will receive a crash course. Today is about the vital places you can go for in a fight,? she explains to them. ?Break off into pairs, or trios if there are not even numbers. Try to match your fight experience with your opponent?s,? she explains. Her head twitches for Talvi to come to her; her daughter is perhaps the youngest one here, and Argent will not risk some blood thirsty creature stepping out of line and hurting her.
