She returned to the pack lands refreshed and rearing to go. The Spirits seemed to calm down now, though not wholly quiet, they were more manageable. The warrior priestess watched her companion fly overhead in the evening light, her bi-colored gaze finding the pool of water that sat amidst the stark white trees. The pack was bustling with pups now, and what better way to sharpen their minds than with some training? She was sure there were others teaching them, but perhaps there was some form of knowledge she could offer to the young ones that they might not have learned yet. She preferred a hands on approach instead of lectures all day long, and while it'd be a bit of both, she would likely get straight to the point. A small grin tugged at her lips at that thought as she clicked the tip of a metal claw against stone. Had they learned to fight with weaponry yet? Perhaps that's what she'd focus on today. Or perhaps she'd focus on their strengths and weaknesses. After all, not everyone was a big giant musclehead.

Sitting at the head of the pool, she tilted her head back and called for the pups of the pack.

OOC//First round replies due by 3/17! Mainly for pups or yearlings (though yearlings are not required to show up)

Moonshine hopped happily towards the call for puppies to come and train at fighting. Fighting was a lot like playing, and playing was one of her favorite things. Excpet Fetch. She couldn’t play fetch because then she’d prove that girl right. Moo couldn’t do that. Alabaster tail wagged excitedly as she bound in to the gathering area showing off her endless energy. She hadn’t had a lot of practice fighting yet, but the young Klein was ready. She grinned at her aunt and bright blue eyes sparkled. ”Hello, hello, hello!” She giggled softly as she tried to find her seat. The puppy would sit still for only a moment before shifting and rearranging her place. Moonshine was doing her best to sit and listen, but it was hard to hold still.

Venom was always eager to train and her white gloved paws carried her towards the sound of her aunt’s call. She mostly requested the puppies, but the princess knew she was invited as well. Pink purple eyes fell on aunt and cousin as she appeared at the gathering. This was the first time the girl had interacted with Lucretia’s offspring. The girl had too much energy, Venom gave her a wide berth and reclined somewhat behind the over eager puppy. She was a yearling now and had much more self respect than to show her excitement like that.

”Greetings, Aunt Pandora.” She offered politely while her sharp gaze settled on the priestess and forked tongue flicked from her pink lips.

Indigo loved the shrine, however it wasn’t his favorite place in the Empire. The brilliant water drew him in and many days he found himself here staring down into the spring. Big black paws carried him towards the little gathering on Ashen’s side. The pup had freedom to cross territory lines, so he scampered up to the Klein wolves. He hadn’t met any of them before, but they were all slightly familiar. The older girl was aunt Deathbelle’s daughter. The floppy eared one was likely Mo’s sister. The one to call them he wasn’t sure about, but she was obviously and authority figure. The gangly pup gave her a smile and lowered his head in greeting. Indy was far from talkative. He took a seat on the opposite side of Moonshine that Venom did. He didn’t mind the extra exuberance.

Upon turning a year old Plague had found himself adventuring outside of the packlands more and more. Exploring what the rest of Boreas had to offer had brought him some challenge as well as a small amount of excitement. Other then having to face the mountain that killed his father he had found the adventures to be rather fun. Not much was able to lift his spirits after all. But, as he was walking his routine patrols the male heard a distinct call. They were training summons from his aunt Pandora. Plague couldn't remember if he had met her formally or not but he knew she was the woman who looked to be split. One side black like ink and the other side purely white with albinism. It did not take long for Plague to arrive at the shrine. Forest green eyes consumed the gathering with mild curiosity. Plague offered a quick nod to his aunt before looking towards his sister, Venom. It seemed the only other two to accompany her was one of Lucerita and Bourbon's pups and the Warlord's purple son. Plague had only interacted with Mojito and hadn't even encountered any of Sirius' spawn. Thus, the cold brute made haste to his siblings side and to a seat next to her. He hesitated a moment before allowing his monochromatic muzzle to brush lovingly against her shoulder, if allowed that is. "I hope to spar with you." Plague flashed a very mild smirk at her before allowing those fierce eyes to land upon his aunt. He spoke to Venom beneath his breath, "You can take all the practice you can get, Princess."

Eager paws dug at the earth before the babe dropped a bundle of seeds into the earth. Banshee then smoothed some dirt over the hole and offered it a gentle grin. Just as she relished in her hard work a call rang throughout the territory. Summons from her aunt Pandora, the one who was seemingly a harsh Hannibal supporter, and rumored to believe in spirits. Banshee raised a brow as she silently contemplated attending the training. She was growing older, nearing her second birthday, but determined that any battle training she could get would aid in her skills nontheless. Thus, after taking a long look at the row of tilled dirt with freshly plants seeds the gal took off towards Ashen. Upon arrival to the Shrine Banshee couldn't help but to feel prickles at her scruff. It had been a while since she saw the glowing pool and all it reminded her of was Erovrare. The loss of her mother and the disappearance of her blood Father. The thought made her think of the male, baby blue eyes scanned the region to ensure he wasn't near. After a moment the fanged babe moved to sit near Indigo who was the only other attendee she knew. Banshee offered the young boy a toothy grin before looking down at herself, "I was working in the garden and didn't have time to clean the soil from my fur. I look like i've been dirt wrestling." She made jest in her own regard before looking towards Pandora, "Nice to see you, Pandora." ""

When the call rang out from the Shrine, Azure hesitated. Technically it wasn't their territory, although his parents assured him that they were welcome there too. He'd never turn down an opportunity to train, and so when he caught the bright purple end of his brother disappearing through the trees to respond Az decided he too would participate. Upon arrival a variety of strangers were already present, and Az remained quiet as he slid up alongside Banshee and his brother. There were a few wolves that he knew like Venom, though she seemed preoccupied with the white beast and Az didn't wish to intrude. He shuffled a bit closer to his big sister, until his shoulder was lightly touching her own for comfort. Not knowing what to expect from a training session mad him uncomfortable, and Azure sat in silence as he waited for the adult to speak. "Speech" "Thinking" "You."
