ooc: Navigation - Amon's Castle

Dragon let me know if you want me to edit anything. I just got a sudden burst of muse and thought it would be fun to throw Valdís in since she's met Pyralis before

All You Have Is Your Fire...

Pyralis strode through the plains and into the castle's courtyard. Alkali had followed but the hawk kept her distance, choosing to remain in the sky as a look out. The castle loomed dark above her, the turrets stretching up into the sky. "I'm curious Dragon. Of all the territories in Auster, why did you choose a human cave?" She didn't know how the humans made such things, she only knew that this was not the work of nature. It was probably once a perfectly good mountain with nice caves but the humans used their magic to distort it and twist it into something else. Not that it was terrible she supposed. It was certainly interesting but at the same time it weirded her out. Cautiously sticking her head through one of the openings she peered into the dark. A shrill cry from Alkali caught her attention and she withdrew her head to see what the cry was about. Was another member of Talis coming to join them for the tour?

and a bitter heart will not reveal

Valdís had been patrolling to the north of the castle when a distant call had caught her attention but she'd ignored it, certain she'd been hearing things. There was no way that wacky woman who tried teaching her 'coyote ball' was at the borders of Talis. It was simply to cruel to be true. That mad woman almost got both of them eaten by a grizzly bear. She continued on her patrol certain that Dragon had it taken care of but as the night wore on she began to grow worried and immediately set out toward the starlit plains. Or at least that's where she was going before she caught the scent of who else… the mad woman.  She closed her eyes and sighed. "Ugh no… not her… anyone but her." She muttered to herself as she came upon Pyralis, Dragon and a young male she didn't recognize. Valdís paused for a moment.  He was a handsome young man with chartreuse eyes that seemed to glow in the moonlight. However, just by looking at him she could tell he was related to Pyralis.  Oh joy, the monstress was multiplying! As she got closer she was suddenly struck with recognition. Ashiel! Oh no, c'mon... he just had to be related to that witch didn't he?

"Dragon, is everything alright?"  She eyed Pyralis for a moment then dipped her head in greeting. "Pyralis, I hope you aren't luring any bears into Talis territory.  Who is this you have with you?" She wasn't sure why she was pretending she didn't know the boy but she didn't want to have Pyralis on her tail for any reason.

the spring that love remembers

Ashiel approached the castle cautiously. He decided almost immediately that it made him uncomfortable. He'd never seen a mountain shaped in such a way before and was more than happy to let his mother take the lead. Ashiel kept an eye out on the territory and carefully set to work untangling the variety of scents he caught weaving through the terra. From what he could tell this was probably where they made their densite. There were at least a dozen different scents maybe more. As if to answer his question a female, slightly older than him approached. She was lithe, well-built and attractive. Her emerald green eyes caught his and he was suddenly feeling a bit… off. Shit, it was Valdís. The pack scent should've been a tip off but he hadn't expected her to show up. Ashiel blinked in surprise as Valdís spoke to his mother.  He shot a questioning glance to Pyralis. Bears? What? Valdís pretended not to know him... at least he was sure she was pretending because how could she forget?. "My name is Ashiel Abraxas, who are you?" "Talk" "You" Think
