Flutter in the wind
"Now we wait." Liar said as he took a seat. Looking at the rather large volcano there. It looked like it had erupted some years ago. The ground blackened from the exposure. Regardless he had no interest in this place. The falls would be the home of his pack that he had ambitions for. It was getting it that was the problem.

The thought of meeting Liar’s kids was a bit intimidating, though she was doing her best to remember what the male had told her when they were in the falls. She had to wonder what the young ones would think of her though. Sure she could accept Liar’s tendencies… but were the children old enough to understand such a thing? To accept it? The femme wasn’t sure what she would have thought if either of her parents had been they way she and Liar were… but she shook her head. Everything would be made known in due time.
Still, Marina felt a bit uncertain being back in Boreas too. Auster was more comforting for the woman… who could blame her when most of her bad memories of the continent lingered with Boreas? She stuck close to Liar, taking a seat next to him and curling her tail about her paws. “It feels strange being back here, Liar…” The woman confessed. “But I’m glad I’m not alone.” Her words were barely above a whisper, but surely he heard them, right? |

The boy had an adventurer's heart, so it was to know surprise that he'd made his way further from the North though there was a great deal of guilt that he still felt for going against Avalon's wishes. He couldn't help but answer the call of his wanderlust, and with prey scarce and unhealthy in the North there was no reason for the hunter not to seek out where all the good game was going. He didn't expect to hear his father's call down here in the East, however it was a welcome call. Almost immediately, the adolescent perked his ears and changed his trajectory to make for the source of the howl.
It wasn't long before he the stench of sulfur began to stung his nostrils and he couldn't help but wonder why his father had chosen a volcano of all places to bring him, but he trekked cautiously through the poisonous streams of water surrounding the living mountain and searched for the pale image of his father despite the eerie feeling the unfamiliar territory gave him. Finally, his head lifted up with excitement as his molten stare fell upon the spotted image of Liar, his limbs working quickly to send him over to the man in a trot that made his chubby gut jostle just slightly.
As he arrived, he'd wag his tail low with love and respect as he flashed a smile to the man, though his attention soon shifted to the woman at his side. He'd never seen her before, but they both were certainly covered in the scent of one another. Was this why his father had been gone? Vadim had assumed it was to scout out territory and look for recruits for their new kingdom, which is what this woman must be. He dipped his wide skull to her when he came to a stop in front of them, then looked back to his father and canted his head.
He gave a soft sigh and went to nudge his son slightly. "I found a place for our new pack should you come, but this here is Marina. She's a new mate of mine, and she's pregnant." Liar's eyes turned towards Vadim. "So you'll have new little siblings coming winter." he knew Vadim could react in a number of ways - rejection. But he certainly hoped his son who knew a lot about family could even come to terms with that. Plus he was known for multiple lovers. "I won't be having a second in command rank in my pack, but she'll be part of the royal family. I planned to make you the heir but honestly son - whatever you want is fine. I hope things in Ivalice are well." he sat down then. Hoping that this would go well.

The young man who arrived was certainly a sight to behold. While Marina prided herself on her own children she could recognize a well grown youth when she saw one. The she wolf was quiet for the moment, allowing father and son to reunite before she added in her own two cents. She did feel a bit off being introduced like this… and could only hope that it went okay. Marina tipped her head to the young man, hoping that, at the very least, he wouldn’t feel the need to distance himself from his new siblings before he got to know them.
“To reassure you, young one, I’m not here to replace your mother. But I do find my place to be by your father’s side… and I hope that you can respect that.” Marina turned her gaze on Liar, offering him a small smile. “…and there is no need to place me in such a ranking. I am yours, yes, but I am no royal, Liar. I was never meant to be… and that’s okay. I’ll work for whatever rank I end up taking within your pack.” |

He had suspected something was going on between his father and the woman. He'd not been exposed to his father's romantic adventures before but he remembered the stories his father had told him of his past relationships. He was not ashamed, but rather found a sense of relief that his father had found himself again and that it didn't end with Abelinda. A small smile creased his youthful muzzle as his father announced her, up until he placed her among the royal family. He raised a single 'brow dot and looked to the rainbow woman once again. She seemed inviting enough, though of course there was reason for him to be skeptical of welcoming her into the family open hearted. The words that came from Marina himself offered him further relief from being forced to do just that, so the small smile returned on the boy's features as his eyes met the colorful woman's own.
He took a seat before them, his hefty weight devouring his back limbs as it rolled to his haunches while he relaxed.
He furrowed his 'brows with a look of concern and guilt, he didn't want to hurt his father's feelings in any way, but he needed to speak for his own feelings as well.
"She's still sorting out her own thoughts. She's back where I plan to move the pack. Though I have an idea of what I'll be doing for the pack now." Liar said about his sister. Lately he didn't know what Ash thought, he slightly felt she was torn. After all she had only done this to follow Vadim. Yet at the same time she had been struggling with the thought of leaving her only home she had ever known.
"I understand, sometimes trusting a stranger is hard. I know in time though you'll know her, and she'll know you. Avalon? I'm not sure - she didn't seem to upset. Though she did tell me she was tired of you kids disobeying her and didn't want to try. I have every intention to making good connections with Ivalice even when we're gone. Even if it isn't under her control. After all she blew off my offer to still be of service. I'm not a man to give up though!" he tail flicked for a moment as he then sat himself down. Carefully giving Marina a nudge to reassure her, seeing as he didn't want her feeling too left out of the conversation.
"We've been living in Auster, a continent far different from our own. It's connected to boreas by a land bridge. In a place called Lazuli falls - the place has fat prey running amock and not too many wolves live there. Currently there are no packs either. Plus the falls come in array of colors it's indeed something to look at." he nodded his head as he looked towards Marina then back to vadim. "You don't have to come if you don't want Vadim - I'm sure Ivalice would be happy to have you. Just know you'd be well received in my pack. As heir I could teach you a lot of things, but as long as you're happy it doesn't matter." he gave a soft shake of his head.
