You Wear A Crown But You're No King

This is the way things were supposed to be. The lands hadn't been shaken up in some time, and this was finally going to be an opportunity not put to waste. All the packs were living fat and happy, content within their walls without a worry or a care in the world. Whereas Sin liked to see chaos and turmoil, if only there were more challenges like this...more wars to spill blood upon the lands, or even better, then perhaps the world wouldn't be so...boring. It would seem then that a very familiar face would show, the woman seeming to throw her weight around wherever she went. Well, wasn't she the cocky bitch? Figuratively speaking, she was a woman and she always seemed to act like she was above everyone, but perhaps that was one reason he got along with her in some way. "Oooh, come now Cascade." A mock grin lifted his lips, shoulders shrugging as he gave a look that said 'you're one to talk.' "You can't really be a hypocrite about this, can you? I may have my quarrel with Sonticus but what was your reason for picking on them, hm?" He winked playfully at her then, "I guess we're bullies in our own right. Besides, the lands aren't meant for the weak. And this pack just happened to draw the short straw out of all the other choices there were. But if you're really curious, I do have my plans about Sonticus...but first, I must attain a pack to set that particular plan in motion" Literally. He had thought for days, and ultimately Threar had been the pick of the litter. A couple more from Imperium would arrive, but Sin would pay them no mind...especially when the young one fired off questions like an assault rifle, well wasn't he the lively one?

Time started to tick on, the blood stained beast staring out towards the East as the murmurs dulled down to an echo around him. Were any of the Eastern pack going to show? Or were they just that cowardly? Surely at least a member would come to inform him of some sort of disdain or surprise that their home was being challenged...or perhaps, they had simply melted into the backdrop of the earth never to be heard from again? Who knew. He was growing bored of waiting, and if he had to wait any longer then he would probably have marched into their lands and taken it then and there, but he chose to play fair right now. The early morning sun would rise higher, the mist dissipating around the field as the dew would evaporate off the miniscule plants and sprouts around them. His tail would flick with impatience, and as the minutes ticked by longer, he was about to assume that neither alpha would show...

But low and behold, one of them would show their face. The alphess of Threar  had arrived. But what was this? She was alone? None of her pack had come with her for support? What a shame...for his whole family save for the youngest babes had come to back him up, but her? She was alone it seemed. As she drew closer, he would lift himself into a dominant stance. Tail lifting over his back as his head drew tall. A half grin as she stopped not far from him. "Are you sure you wish to do this?" A stupid question, if he hadn't wanted to try he wouldn't be here now would he? A light laugh would fall from stained lips, scarred visage staring her dead in the eye. "What do you think princess? I wouldn't be here if I wasn't sure." His previous thoughts would strike, if she won...he would respect her for standing up for her pack like any leader should, however, if she lost...her pack would belong to him, and he might respect her all the same if she showed the strength that she wanted to keep her home. "It's about time you showed up, I was beginning to think the pack a bunch of cowards..after all, no one showed up to support you save for that pacing bundle of nerves over there, it seems." His muzzle cast briefly indicating towards Bass, but it was time to get the show on the road.
