Quelt had never been to sawtooth before not heard of it. Though he knew that bass and his family rules these lands so perhaps this would be a easy trip just like bevroren was. The little streams in the border touched his dark paws as he lifted up his head in a summoning howl for the alpha Orr whoever wanted to talk really. Lowering his head he took deep breaths and kept a serious expression on his maw getting used to these visits by now. He only really hoped that he was not over doing it.

Shifting a little he sat on his haunches and curled his black tail around his hind legs. Perhaps he needed to visit bass again soon, considering it had been a while. Now that quelts dream had become a reality, he needed to fight to protect it. There was always going to be a threat in the world. And as far as he knew there was dark packs lingering in the air. Hopefully the gods would grant him the strength he needed. For he had secret fears, just as any others most likely did.

Dhiren Destruction had been patrolling, ensuring the safety of his home for his pack members. His mind was actually clear that day, giving him an advantage for anyone else that would randomly appear. The borders were thick from the rich scents belonging to his family, making anyone realize that these lands belonged to them. With ears pricked forward and eyes alert for any movements, the large frame of Cherokee's firstborn son proceeded with his duty. A lone howl rose from another part of the lands, causing Dhiren to turn his head in its direction. He didn't hesitate to begin trotting towards the unknown visitor, paws quickly carrying him through the slim rows of trees. The leaves above him moved in the surrounding breeze as he passed, but he didn't notice how the sun twinkled through the branches or how the ground looked fresh and green. He was too focused on the wolf that had howled and was curious to fin the source of the call. In about three minutes, Dhiren's black and white form broke free from the woods. His pace slowed so his front half was all that popped out around the brown and green colors. Silver and gold eyes fell upon Quelt, a stranger in the man's eyes. Front paw claws dug into the ground from anticipation and he took a few more steps forward until he was within a respectable distance of the dark-furred male. "Greetings," he began, voice hoarse from not being used, but still admirable. "Welcome to Sawtooth's borders. I am Dhiren Destruction, how may I help you today?"

Quelt couldn't help but to perk his ears and wag hi tail slightly when he heard the last name destruction. His mind would wander to bass, an hope to the gods that he and Abaven were okay. Composing himself the tall slate male would dip his head on return hoping this would go smoothly. "It's a pleasure to meet you my name is Quelt walker I recently claimed a pack and named it isokan, I was hoping to come here today to make an alliance" he amines in a friendly manner. He was feeling more at ease once he stopped convincing himself he was doing a horrible job.

"We already have an alliance with Abaven to my understanding you are related to bass the alpha? Me and him are close friends. With this alliance we offer you our services in times of need. But should you go to war with an Allie of ours we will not fight. An we hope the same of you if you accept." Quelt explained. Once he had he took a deep breath and calmed himself. Watching the other male carefully. It was odd bass was so lightly colored yet this male was black and white.

After asking the male his intentions, the stranger easily gave them up. He introduced himself and then voiced his desire of making an alliance with Sawtooth. Quelt -- the name he gave Dhiren -- voiced his common ground with Abaven and its alpha, Bass. Dhiren had never met Bass personally, but he knew that there would be an encounter in the future. Quelt continued to say that if Sawtooth went to war with one of their allies, they would not come to his pack's aide. Dhiren's claws dug into the ground again, but only because of the idea of making a new alliance. He maintained the same distance from the male as he reclined to his haunches. Long, black tail wrapped around his paws as he cleared his throat and gave his say. "Nice to meet you, Quelt. From what you have told me, I think it would be in the best interest of Sawtooth to align aside Isokan. The propositions you have given sound good enough to go by, and so we shall." He firmly nodded, silver and gold eyes watching the strangely colored male with an intense gaze. Talk like this

Quelt would notice his tension and nearly give the same reaction. But he understood, being a stranger after all. Connections only got him so far, personally he had to make them trust him themselves. He smiled though when he accepted, he learned not to get too formal at first it was rude even if he was a very open man. He gave a relieved brush of his maw. Before his eyes looked at the man.

"I hope that we can connect more in the future and become friends." Quelt said with questions flick of his tail. "Would you like to know anything? About myself or the pack." That was a good start yes? Damn he was nailing this social thing now. Ever since he left home he had become rusty but it was becoming easier.

The male at his borders was also nervous, something Dhiren hadn't expected from a leader. Maybe it was because he was so young, but the Destruction was not too keen on having wavering allies. He didn't voice this to Quelt, however. Trust was something that was fickle with Dhiren, and he had to know that the wolves he gave it to were worth the honor. Slowly, he reclined to his haunches and wrapped his tail around his paws, waiting to reply to Quelt's own questions. "Yes, actually," he stated, words crisp but not stiff. "What morals does Isokan live by? What alignment is your pack with? What kind of subjects do you teach to your members?" Silver and gold eyes shimmered with interest as he waited for the strangely marked male to reply. Maybe Dhiren should have asked such questions before agreeing to the alignment towards this pack.

Quelt would understand how the boy felt. After all, he was just learning to crawl really. He had his doubts, and he probably always would. Since Alacritis was such a dangerous place to live in he was almost always in a state of fear if he wasn't around his family to constantly make sure that they were okay. As he watched Dhiren get on his haunches. A little bit more comfortable Quelt would smile a bit. They were all children of the gods were they not? Even though some, were more darker than others. "Isokan is taught by the religion of Snowlit. Where we follow the three gods and goddess Denki, Itsume and Zakuro. Our alignment is none, we are not neutral, good, nor bad because it all depends on the state of our Olori. As of the moment I'm mostly concentrating on protecting my family and giving them a secure place to live and offer help to those who are in need. The next leaders of the pack are voted upon by the pack themselves from the royal pool. So they choose who their Olori is. We teach psychology, healing, fighting, and hunting. Depending on what the members want to learn. As long as they are willing to follow the teachings of Snowlit then they have a place in Isokan." Quelt explained to him. He always got bright and proud when it came to speaking about his religion. Of course maybe Denki was laughing at him for it, but there was no harm in believing in something. Specially when the religion itself was strange. Speech,

Quelt's explanation of what his pack believed in was definitely intriguing. Dhiren had never heard of the religion, what they practiced, nor why they believed in such a thing. He wouldn't voice his opinion, for he was not aware of how they carried out all of their beliefs, so he remained quiet. Silver and gold eyes gleamed with interest as he wondered if he would ever be up to learning more about the male's religion. For now, however, he would enjoy his own religious system and carry on the lessons he had been taught to his pack members. The young man remained silent as Quelt went on to tell him what the rest of his allies had relayed. They would remain on good terms and aide them if they needed it, but only if they didn't go to war with one of their own allies. The boy was getting tired of hearing that, especially if something did happen. What if he ran out of resources from his allies? The strings would become untangled when he reached that future stick situation. Dhiren gave a soft smile and once Quelt had his say, he smoothly began to speak. "Well, our pack is about the same in regards to allies. We will not aide those who seek war with our allies, simply because it would put Sawtooth's safety in jeopardy. Our pack is one that values knowledge and the teaching of such knowledge to our members. I intend to continue to urge the teachings and have my members build on the intelligence they originally started with." Speech,

Quelt tried hard not to become a maniac puppy as the boy explained about his own pack. He loved learning new things, new religions and all the sort. Snowlit Religion did not exist to over throw another, they simply sat for those who wanted to follow them. After all, it accepted the fact of other deities lives, because they indeed might as well been out there with their own followers. Quelt nodded his head and smiled at him. "If you ever need any help don't hesitate to ask, I'd love to see one of these lessons one day if you and your alpha wouldn't mind." he stood up wagging his tail a little. "Is there anything else you'd like to ask before I leave?" Quelt asked with curiosity. After all, that was mainly what he was made up of. At least for the most part if he wasn't in a state of worrying about everything that was going on within his lifetime. Speech,

Quelt suggested that there could be a chance for his pack to meet his own and see what their lessons were like. Dhiren's face gave a soft smile and gentle nod as he thought about it. "In the future, I think that would be a nice idea." He then added, "I'll have to voice it to the pack and see what they would say about it." After all, without his members, he was just one wolf. He gave another thought about Quelt's question and he slowly shook his head. "No, I don't think so. If I come across anything I want to know more about your pack, will you be all right with another meeting?" Dhiren wanted to be open-minded and have as much info about his allies as he could.
