No One Man Should Have All That Power

As the others trickled in, Ashmedai sat cooly. Naudir said they should talk after the meeting and Ashmedai nodded. "Of course."

After the other members came, Tyranis began his speech. So they were changing the rules already? Huh. Ashmedai glanced between Tyranis and his 'mate' a few times. He guessed things must have gotten a little spicy between them.

That was gross. They were basically teenagers to him. That should stop. His thoughts needed to stop.

Ashmedai flicked an ear to clear his mind.

Tyranis moved on to talk about how things would go down if one of the wolves having the pups didn't want to stay in the pack and all of that. That was nothing new. Ashmedai agreed. Any pups created from a Dauntless wolf should be raised in Dauntless.

Now if two different pack wolves had pups... that would be an interesting affair to see.

Oh, it was time for nominations.

Ashmedai cleared his throat and stood.

"Now, I would like to nominate myself for Chief Intelligence Officer or Chief Infantry Officer. We can let the votes decide which, I suppose."

Ashemdai tossed a look at Tyranis to see if there were any objections. Let the pack decide where he ended up- why not?

"To make a case for myself, I would like to argue that I am possibly one of the only wolves here to have been involved in a war. Moreover, a war in Boreas involving a few well-known packs of the past. Not only did I fight in that war, but I came out on the winning side. I know not only the strategy and thought that went into that victory, but the effort put in by each individually and as a whole. If needed, I would willingly do it again."

Ashemdai made a point to have his gaze meet each member at the meeting. He was serious.

"In the case of navigation, I would like to claim that I am perhaps the only member here to have ventured to each pack and to have met each alpha. After learning about each pack, I can assure you all that you've made a strong choice coming here. Though this pack may be new, it has promise. I believe we need someone who has seen each pack and is willing to go the extra mile to assure our pack relations remain... as we wish them to be."

Ashmedai had no qualms maintaining positive or negative pack relations.

"Different situations call for different approaches. Whether it's Chief Intelligence Officer or Chief Infantry Officer, I would be honored to serve Dauntless as it grows as a pack."
