After spending a decent amount of time wandering the lands Maggie decided it was time to get herself at least partially established. She like a true wreckage was a trader at heart and knew that having a place to base herself was essential and she found herself drawn to the warmer continent down south. As far as she could tell there were two packs here, the other one was fresher in it's scents and while some part of her had liked the idea of trying her luck with a brand new pack she logically knew it was safer to stick with a pack that had proved itself able to withstand at least a bit of time and it's innumerable challenges. 

So the Wreckage woman stood at the border of a pack she did not know held her sister and tipped her head back to signal her intention to join. She hoped she wasn't waking anyone, the moon high and clear above her, the stars dancing brilliantly in the sky, and as she settled onto her haunches she tipped her chin up to gaze up at the gorgeous display above her, tongue lolling from a slightly parted jaw.

His nights seemed restless, sleepless even. Most of the time he found himself taking late night patrols, mostly because he was unable to sleep until late into the night. It was even harder to sleep knowing that soon, all he'd be able to see was darkness. His vision was fading, evident by the way his eyes were becoming partially clouded and it was getting harder for him to see. Darkness already took over part of his vision, and he often found himself having to move his head more to be able to see what was around him. Infection from the wounds to his eyes had been to blame, though he was sure it was his younger cousins teeth that were ultimately to blame. Still, he would continue his duties now, and perhaps even when his sight was gone...at least until he felt no longer fit to keep his position. But as it was, he had no heir. He wasn't sure if his mother wanted to lead again, and even if she did could she handle it again? She was growing older, and he didn't want to put anymore stress on her, either. But what else could he do? It was thoughts like this that kept him awake, the earthen male struggling with the decision. He wouldn't be allowed to dwell on it for too long though, as a howl from the borders called him forth. Why did a lot of wolves seem to like making a presence in the middle of the night? He knew Auster was warm, but surely not warm enough to keep them away during the day? Whatever the case, he'd make his way to the borders with Shiva in tow. Kimahri had gone to hunt for the night, so the pair made their way to see who it was. The voice was unfamiliar, so he knew it wasn't anyone that he knew of. Or anyone he could recall meeting before, anyway. Once they drew closer, he could make out the scent of a female, and she was alone. Curious, he approached her, stopping several feet on his side of the border. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He'd comment about the sky, head tilted upwards as he too, looked at it. After all, he didn't know when the last time would be that he'd see his beloved sky again... "Speech"

Another approached but Maggie didn't so much as glance in his direction. "It's gorgeous." She agreed, she watched the sky for a few more seconds before finally turning her gaze towards the man. She drew in the sight of him and the cat behind him in one long draught, a smile breaking across her lips.

"I'm Magnolia Wreckage," she began, "You can call me Maggie or Mags or Nia or Magpie or honestly whatever strikes your fancy, so long as you don't mind me givin' you a nickname back.' She watched him for a moment, at the very least she'd give him enough time to give her his name. There were a thousand things running through her brain, she was curious about the cat behind him and eager to get on with things but she also knew patience was important.

He nodded in response, almost absentmindedly as they both agreed about the beauty of the night sky. Sighing quietly with contentment, he turned his attention to her as she began to introduce herself. Ah, so she was diving right into the business of introduction eh? He could appreciate that. He chuckled at her broad array of nicknames, storing that information away for later. "Well, nice to meet you Magnolia Wreckage." Then it struck him. Wasn't there another Wreckage here? He glanced at Shiva who had the same look of thought on her face, and then an "aha" moment struck! "Say, you don't happen to be related to a Zinnia Wreckage, right?" His voice was colored with surprise and intense curiosity. "Oh, where are my manners. My name is Dragon Ancora, Alpha of the Talis pack." Walk, "Talk" Think "Kimahri" Shiva
