Family Ties

Arian wasted little time in introducing Rivaxorous the Second. Five children. Heavens. Surreal had as many, but in separate litters. Any nervousness that might have been seen in the boy melted away, and Surreal smiled as he piped up. “The Adravendis had a wonderful founding father. It’s a great sadness that he no longer walks the living realm.” To his question regarding her having children, Surreal nodded. “I have five, though only four are present. Regulus, Zuriel, Tornach, Baine, and Faite, though she’s missing, still.” The mention of Faite was for both wolves’ benefit as he eyes tracked up to Arian’s again.

Surreal gently sought to ruffle a paw over the pup’s head as she straightened, mulling over what Arian had said. “It will be nice to have family as such close neighbors. Your choices run alongside the Plains. We’ll share borders. You won’t have to worry about war from us. I’d never do that to you.” Her mismatched eyes ran over Arian’s face. “What dangers do you speak of?” And would those dangers follow Arian here?
