Already it was time to add to the lands she had taken from Olympus. The plains known as the Dancefloor of the Gods made for better-than-decent hunting but it left much to be desired as far as shelter. She'd considered expanding back into the other land Olympus had claimed, the valley known as Emerald, but though it was lush and rich in bounty it provided just as little shelter as the Dancefloor. Many of the other lands surrounding them were hostile and inimical to wolves as well as also providing little shelter. There was a grove of willows that had tempted her, but a small group of rogues sheltered there and it wasn't worth driving them out.
But this... a natural canyon carved from a long-dead river, full of natural caves to provide a shelter that would remain comfortable no matter what the outside weather. That was what the pack would need coming into winter.
The silver-ticked pelt of the alpha rippled as she threw back her head and sang out, simultaneously laying claim to this canyon and the land surrounding it, and calling together her pack and any interested rogues in the area for a meeting. She doubted the Olympus kids would be interested in joining them for a meeting, but the request included them. She would need to know what they were interested in training in, if anything, as well as relaying the agreement she had recently come to concerning them, and she would need to inform them of the new boundaries of the territory they were allowed to roam. Her sharp mind, always at work, ticked over and over the things she would need to cover at this, their first ?ing.
OOC: Mandatory meeting for all Yfir members - though I'll understand if IC the Olympus kiddos don't want to show up I'll still need a post saying that they're not showing up. This is the seasonal thing (?ing being the old Norse word for it) that the rules talk about so it may be a slightly longer meeting than usual and I won't require second posts unless your character was specifically asked something or they have something to bring up. Deadline is Friday October 3rd at noon Ala time
D?gmar trotted along with a spring in her step. This was what she needed. Duty, activity, something to keep her mind and body going and in motion and despite the chaos that had birthed it she was glad to be in a pack again. A rabbit hung limp in her jaws. An early morning warm up to get the blood pounding in her ears. The wraith slowed to a stop as she heard the call of the Queen or as was said in her tongue Drottning. D?gmar was quickly picking up on the new alphas quirks and manner of speech, it was not unlike those in the land she'd come from as probably obvious by her name.
Lithe form skittered down into an unusual canyon as she followed the Drottning's call. What on earth was the ebony femme doing out here? She had to admit the land was pretty and offered many opportunities to explore not to mention more secure dens. And once more, dens that did not reek of Olympus. She could hardly stand hers.
D?gmar set the rabbit at her feet and gave a polite nod of greeting to Katja. She really wasn't one for bowing unless instructed to do otherwise. "Morning, Lady Drottning. I trust you'll explain why you've called a gathering all the way out here?"
It wasn't with willing steps that Andromeda made her way to the meeting. All meetings in her life had been within Olympus, many with her mother summoning the pack and one with her great aunt instead calling them all. That had been her least favourite meeting, to learn her mother had left and then of this drama lingering within her family. It was safe to say things had only gotten worse from there and whilst she and her siblings may not have been prisoners and in fact still welcomed as any of the more loyal followers to such events as these, Andromeda still felt somewhat drained as she made her way to the gorge.
Those previously confusing moments within her life were nothing compared to this and the golden Olympus girl was certainly torn. The members of the pack were far from horrible she had learnt, even with this vendetta between the families. A part of her wondered if it would be far easier to be a prisoner, to be able to fully hate Katja and her pack. She of course wanted to be back with her entire family, though it was her siblings now that held her loyalty the most and Andromeda would go nowhere without them.
Silently she would join the gathering, glad to see Nemesis and Gaia together, Solo of course at her sister's side. With no sign of Hephaestus, Thanatos or Hemera she would frown softly though not question it as she instead settled beside her brother, speaking only a soft greeting to he, Gaia and Solo before forcing her orange gaze to look towards Katja.
