Another giant was joining the throng. Champion had heard the howl of the challenger and been upon her paws at once, but she had strode to the battlefeild with a calm, easy stride, scenting the world around her as she went. The customs of the southerners were quite odd when it came to these sort of matters. In her birth pack, if someone wanted to lead, they had to start off inside climbing rank until they reached a high enough one to challenge one of the leaders themselves. If an outsider wanted power, well then they'd better bring an army with them.

But in her travels Champion had seen plenty of strange things - this was hardly example enough to turn the course of her mind for very long. Custom or not, what she cared about was Newt. The Grey Lady, was much more than a superior to Champion, she was a friend, the first creature who had induced her to join pack life since her futile time in Tortuga. Newt was a mammoth - passing Champion by all of an inch, and she'd shown herself one heck of a bloodletter. All things Champion could respect, but she'd come to Amenti with the intention of keeping an eye on her friend. So far, her protective instincts had been needless - but now...

Champion caught the scent of Newt's offspring and picked up her pace, entering the battlefield and the location of the duel half a minute after they did. She was Amenti's Beta, and had seen the pups around plenty of times - offering to babysit them more than once - after all, she'd been the midwife at their birth. But she'd never held conversation with them.

Didn't matter to her. Champion might not be allowed to interfere with the challenge once it had begun, but the pups had just gotten themselves a bodyguard. And with the way they were running their little mouths, it was quite likely they'd need one. A playful smirk tugged at the corner of the mammoth's mouth. They were right after all. Champion stepped up, coming level with the younger pair, and seating herself with a flop of her overfluffed haunches. "Easy children, have some faith in your mother."
