Confusion graced his expression when an unfamiliar voice lights the air. A beckoning call at the border of the plains that seemed to be intended for him. But why? Anyone he cared to interact with was either here or all the way north. And the more time he spent away from the north, the more he was beginning to forget about them. Not that he wanted to desert his accidental family, but because the message had been loud and clear. Stay the fuck away.
It was the confusion that drug him out from the moor and into the plains where a very familiar pup who had grown just a bit stood waiting. "Cressida?" Scald inquired, brow furrowing as he approached his daughter. "What're you doin' here alone?" His voice is clipped, concern sharpening the edges as he looks around to see if anyone was lying in wait.

Scald smiles tentatively as Cressida wags her tail in greeting. His eyes meet hers for a moment before lifting up to sweep over the plains. Half-expecting the whole of the Syndicate to show up to whisk the pup back away to the north, he shifts nervously on his paws. "Does your mother know?" He says hesitantly, eyes still on their surroundings for another long moment. "And where are your brothers? Your sister?" His ears flick backward, brow drawing downward as he finally looks to his daughter. "What happened?" Scald asks pointedly about her comment and the grimace spread across her features. Had something nefarious happened? Were they finally proving their wretched colors to their own members? Unease settles over him as he checks again for his other pups. Regret fills him that they had to travel all this way alone when he should have brought them when he had been banished. Lifting his chin to reddened skies, Scald calls for backup. |
Maelstrom just so happened to agree with his sister, Cressida. The Syndicate group were unfortunately a bit weird and creepy and kind of rude if anyone was asking his opinion. When he saw his sister slipping over the borders headed for who knows where, Maelstrom was sure to follow with their brother, Pyxis, in tow. Their journey was long and tiring, but once they reached the borders of their father's land, Maelstrom's interest piqued. Were they here to leave their mother's land for good?
He watches from the background until he hears their father question where her brothers are. Without waiting another moment, Mael strides forward, chest out and smug grin on his lips as he comes to stand beside his sister. "Right here, father," he says proudly as if this had been some heroic journey they'd been on to get here. "Pyx and I want to stay with you too. Right?" The pup casts a glance at his brother, reaching out to nudge him.
Giving her body a leisurely stretch, Calliope makes her way from her treehouse in the estuary to where the howl originated. Upon approach, her pastel eyes spot her older brother, Scald, standing before three pups. At first, she's confused, but as she looks at the pups closer, she realizes how much they look like the family. Celestial beings meant to belong to the Raiders. Calliope's eyes narrow as she comes up beside Scald's left side, her lip curling into a sneer at the little brats.
"Why do you disturb my slumber?" She drawls, eyes rolling playfully.
Warning: Calliope is callous, rude, and unpredictable. Do NOT expect nice things from her.

Not one to be left behind, Pyx was quick to follow on Cress and Mael's heels. They hung far enough back from their sister that she probably wouldn't notice them, but there had never really been much tying Pyxis to the borders of the Syndicate to begin with, always getting into something he shouldn't.
When finally their sister stopped and called out, his mismatched ears turned forward, noting the way wolves emerged from the area they approached. Huh, was that what you were supposed to to?
He moved forward with Mael and looked at the pale pastel coated girl that joined them. He fuzzily remembered his dad, but then for some reason he had been gone. Cress had mentioned something, but it never quite stuck in his mind. "Well if you guys are stayin', I am too." No way he was going back on his own and running the risk of becoming a snitch.

Her brother's call was unexpected, so she made sure Rip, Mercy and Tempest were settled playing with Kenway's cattle dogs before she ate up the distance between them. What she hadn't expected was a gaggle of kids just a little older than her own to be milling about on the borders, demanding to be allowed to stay. A pink spotted brow lifted at her brother and she smirked, "Yer sure yer ready fer this lot? They seem a bit spicy..." She teased before giving her niece and nephews the once over. Yeah, they were definitely her mother's grandchildren, no doubt about it. At least the darker one almost got Scald's face. "Well have ter do it properly yer know..."
With little more warning than that, she moved to scruff the grey one and drag him across the borders. At least that way, if anyone tried to take it out on the kids, they could claim they had no choice in the matter.

Upon hearing the call of her brother, Siduri set off in that direction. She met up with Deluge and Cal along the way, her sisters seeming to have the same idea. The colorful women arrived at the border and Sid lifted a brow, seeing a bunch of puppies just hanging out and calling Scald "father." She listened to the back and forth between the lot and shrugged as Deluge picked one of the pups up between her jaws.
Siduri stepped forward and grabbed the next, latching her jaws around Cressida's neck gently, but firmly enough to lift her and keep the pretty little girl's small paws off of the, warm and inviting, ground. An odd situation for sure, but... if they were family and Scald wanted them, then he would have them. Siduri wondered if this might start a war since their mother belonged to another pack. The thought brought a tingle up the pastel fae's spine. A war might be just what they all needed.

Now Celestia didn’t know where her sister was taking them or why. And it mattered little to the girl. She was just happy to be exploring the world. But as they drew closer to the destination she understood, Cress was leading them to their father.
A man she hadn’t seen in quite some time actually. And she didn’t know why. Why he didn’t come visit. Or why mom hadn’t taken them to visit. She hung back a bit as her sister called for him. And only when he arrived and her siblings all sang the same tune, they wanted to stay here for good did she begin to feel torn. On one paw this was her dad, and she wanted more time with him and on the other her mom…
How could she leave her behind? But she couldn’t just abandon her sibling either and majority ruled. So she confidently stepped forward stood next to her Brother Pyxis.
”We came to be with you daddy” she stated meeting his gaze.

Some sort of kerfuffle was happening on the borders, Scald had called for his sisters and that in itself was suspicious enough. Rising from her picnic, Modesty made it to the borders in time to hear Deluge something about doing it properly. Her eyes narrowed.
A fourth pup appeared through the grasses and it finally clicked into place when she too, declared that she wanted to stay. Modesty sighed. While this was likely to cause problems, she wasn't about to deny her own flesh and blood. Stepping forward to scoop up the last errant child, she raised a brow at her son, silently questioning if there were more out there that he would need his

As the children made their way through the grasses at the appearance of their father, large, pale coated women appeared too. It did confuse him, to be compared to them when they had the colours, sure, but they weren't like his...
Then he saw their grandmother and it all made sense.
The grey spotted one said something about doing something right and his head canted, tail ceasing it's waving as teeth closed around his scruff. A growl of protest left his lips and he tried to kick, but the reflex that drew his legs and tail up close to his belly was still there. He was too damn big to be carted around like a baby! But his attempts at flailing were useless.
