A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They had taken his sister. They had taken his pack members. But that was there the line would be drawn. They would take no one else, not if the young Adravendi had any say in it. War. War. War. It was the beat that his heart had taken to since the meeting with his uncle. If it was that they wanted, then it was war that they would get. The distressed call of a man would slice the atmosphere across Valhalla, sending a spike of rage through the Heir. The call would be quickly cut off. Glaciem was here. They were at the borders and they wanted blood. A snarl, unlike the young Adravendi, twisted his ivory lips as they peeled back against his sharpened daggers, ears flattening against his skull. It was time to rumble.
The young Adravendi set out at a gallop towards the borders of him home, ceruleans narrowed to slits, the rage that had spike through his system now coursing through his system like the blood in his veins. He hated Glaciems and he would do everything in his power to see them fall for having taken his sister. Large form would come to a thundering halt as he reached the border, noticing that the Glaciems were arriving in force whereas the only one from his side was Pontifex. A nod would be given to his ally as he came to stand at the digamma's right side, leaving adequate room if the man was to be challenged for. Knees would bend slightly, toes spreading to evenly distribute his weight, plume curling dominantly over his hips, powerful shoulders rolling forward to scrunch the skin around his neck, chin tilting downwards to tuck against his throat. Syrinx's instructions echoed in his mind. You will war and defend anyone challenged for when Glaciem comes, you will not strike against them first. You will stand and wait. Will you defend Valhalla as heir? If I fail in what you will see me attempt, it is your duty to challenge for Azalea. It your responsibility to bring your sister home. He would make his family proud. He would bring Aza home if it was the last thing he did.

War was upon them. It was beating at their doorstep, demanding that they answer. And Valhalla was going to do just that. They weren't to sit idly by while the wolves of Glaciem came and took whatever they wanted. They were going to stand up and fight, defend their people and their home. Demonio needed to fight, needed to get rid of these Glaciems to protect his daughter. They couldn't take her from him. They wouldn't take her. Not if he had anything to do about it. A call of distress would catch the man's attention, ivory crown moving towards the sound. War. It was here. Glaciem was here; it was now or never.
Features were wiped clean of emotion, pale lips curling back with a hint of a snarl. Audits would be pulled back against his skull, mismatched gems of fire and ice would be narrowed to slits as he arrived on the scene, noting that Pontifex and Gael had already arrived before him, though sadly they were the only ones from Valhalla to make an appearance. Where were the rest of the warriors? The white knight would pull himself up beside Pontifex, nodding to the man Pontifex as he turned to face the wolves of Glaciem, noticing that their numbers currently were greater than Val's. But the Calvary would come; or he so hoped. Powerful shoulders would roll forward to scrunch the scruff around his neck, knees bending slightly, toes splayed for even balance, plume aligned with his spine while he tucked his chin against his chest. Let them come.
Talk like this

Paws would bring the man towards the commotion, Cyril would follow suit, flying above him.
"Cy, can you see what is going on from up there?" Thane asked in a concerned tone.
"Master Thane...I don't think you want to know what I see."
"What is it then?" he asked impatiently
"They've come...they're here" he would screech down.
White lined ears were pressed against his skull as the man rushed towards the others, he had to see for himself...
Coming up towards the others his aqua blue gaze would fixate on those on this side and the opposite. Both sides ready for battle; somewhere near the Glaciem's lay a body...a Valhallan... Thane could only look in horror which was quickly replaced by anger. He would waste no time! The man had to go and do as he was told!
"Come on!" he would say up to Cy
Turning his head he would glance back for a moment...hoping all of the wolves he had just seen would still be alive when this was all over...
"We must go inform Tortuga of this, and quickly!" he would say before the brute started into a run.
As Thane ran he would think many things...thoughts ran throughout his mind, whisking by or staying in one spot, pestering him. So many what if's... so many worries... He hoped his children would have enough sense to find somewhere safe in the territory, maybe even go somewhere safe during this time. Then again the male knew he had raised his children well until now, they would be fine. the only real worry he would have now would be for Ookami. heck, she wouldn't even know what was going on besides go with the whole thing. A sigh would leave Thane's lips as his aqua blue gaze was set forward as he ran. Hope and determination still flickered in his heart and soul; they would all pull through this...together...

Wasn't that a pleasant noise to awake to? The Behemoth twisted his shoulders and shook out his body as he rose from his den. Eyes pressed across the distance and occasionally he would see a Valhallan sprinting to the borders. So, Isardis had come? Well, it wasn't what the russet king had been expecting in the slightest, but there was no room to back down. Syrinx rumbled a grunt of readiness and began his descent from the hills and to the borders. there was somethig eerily calm about his presence and with everything about him--it was known the moment he stepped forward for all of them to see. Shrugging his shoulders and locking his eyes on Isardis a smile popped across his lips, "Isardis! How nice to see you," he spoke as though they were long lost pals. The legion that surrounded him would receive as raise of the brow and he would then turn to see those of Valhalla that had come. It was not yet plentiful, but Syrinx was determined to offer them encouragement. body twisted around and he faced Valhalla and immediately a short howl followed by a tremorous roar jumped from his lungs. Eyes flashed back to Isardis; now fueled with pleasured pride and readiness. "What exactly do you want?" syrinx knew the answer--Isardis wanted to see their kingdom burn. He wanted to pat them out like a flame--piss on their society. Interesting enough Syrinx stood in wait; watching as though he wasn't going to make a move.

Slowly they would come, and their arrival would not go unnoticed for long as the intruders crept near the Valhallan territory. It was a fine morning, with the blood red sun creeping over the horrizon, and even as Bronze began to awaken he felt strength creep into his tired bones. His time here so far had been unsettling. He was away from his wife, from his children -- and he had little interest in meeting any of the wolves here, and yet he did not disregard him. For some reason, Syrinx had placed him at Beta for now, and though he was somewhat taken aback, he was also content that has strengths had been noted, despite his obvious age. Slowly, as the call to arms rang out across the lands, Bronze would push himself away and stretch his limbs wide.
There was little time for waiting, but he knew if he did not stretch properly he would find himself growing tired quickly. With as much speed as he could muster, the large brute carried himself toward the gathering. It was a surprising scene -- the Glaciem wolves looked no different to him than most of the Valhallans, but there was little ever much real difference in times of war in physical appearance. All that mattered was who one was loyal to. And he was loyal to Syrinx, even if temporarily; in gratitude to his Seracia for letting him seek shelter there and raise his family. His last litter of children.
As he approached, the male kept his shoulders hunched forward, head dropped low to the ground, even with his back. No moves had been made. The wolves seemed to be in limbo, waiting anxiously for the first move. Slinking forth quietly, his gaze swept over the gathering, taking in the scene. It seemed more fair than he was used to -- such polite enemies, intruding on their lands only to sit in wait, as though waiting for the Valhallans to make the first move! The tension was thick in the air, so thick he swore he could smell the stench of adrenaline coursing through the veins of every wolf. And yet he saw nothing impressive. A slight scowl formed on his lips. They would never win sitting still. He was used to dirty fighting, nothing quite so well-mannered and polite.
Desperately his brown eyes searched, finding the target quickly. A woman he thought might not expect his assault -- a medium-sized female with grey and white fur. Her defenses were solid, and he all but mirrored her as he examined the stranger, neck scrunched low and tail curling up to stiffen behind his frame. Paws shifted to evenly spread his weight, and his ears pinned back against his skull as his body rocked forward, as though getting himself amped up for what might come next.
And then he did it, with a great burst of courage and passion that was surprising for a male of his age; he barreled forward, attempting to collide with Lova, jaws splaying as his head swiveled sharply, attempting to twist around her right side and snatch the side of her neck, trying to grab her smaller body by the scruff and send her sprawling. His attack was accompanied by a gruff growl, a deep sound emanating from his throat, making his jowls quiver as his jaws snapped at her flesh. He was all too grateful his wife was not here, for he felt strange pleasure at rushing forth and attempting to destroy this stranger... and yet part of him felt nauseous and uncomfortable. He was not this man anymore, and yet he had to be. He only hoped relieving his past would not turn him into the same kind of creature again. And yet, in a way, he knew he had never changed -- there was no waiting for a command or signal for him, but raw passion as he burst forth and made the first move, regardless of whether it had been wanted or not.
