It's Written In Gold [PACK CHALLENGE FOR TALIS]
| Avalon |
|
She was resting in her den after a long day out. She hadn't seen much of Aodhan, or anyone else for that matter, but that was alright. She had more or less been doing her own thing, but part of her knew that she had to get up and get going. To get her life back on track before she got too old. Granted, she already was old, but...old to the point she couldn't do anything anymore. As she was just about to fall asleep, a howl pierced the night air and immediately her eyes flew open. She recognized the tone in that howl. What it meant. Though she had no idea who it belonged to, she knew who they were calling for. Someone was challenging Dragon for Talis, and it set her on edge. For a couple of years now, Talis had lived her peacefully and undisturbed, but she didn't fail to notice the new-ish pack that had moved into Auster not too far from them. Could this be their doing? Or perhaps it was someone from Celestial coming to take their revenge? Either one was a possibility, and she wasted no time in leaving her den and headed straight for the boneyard. She was so focused on her task that she didn't even notice Okami was following her. Tan had flown ahead and not long after had returned with the numbers of rival wolves present. A low growl escaped her. So the challenger dared bring nearly a whole pack to outnumber her son!? Not if she could help it!
Quickening her pace, she arrived soon enough to catch what the challenger had said, her hackles bristling. Though she was old, she could still fight and would if she had to. But this challenge was between Dragon and the challenger, and though she would have liked to fight in his place, she knew he wouldn't allow it. Even with his blindness, he had still proven to be a good leader, at least she thought so. She couldn't speak for the others, but he had done his best for the last couple of years. "Have faith in yourself, son." She knew he was strong, maybe not the strongest but he had the heart of an Ancora, and that was all that mattered. Knowing him, she had the feeling that if Talis fell tonight, they would rebuild and start anew. She stood defensively with the rest of Talis, anger clear in her eyes and her lip curled in a half snarl. If anyone dared try to attack them, she'd definitely give them a piece of her mind. Fiery amber gaze flicked briefly to the form of her companion in the sky before falling back towards the unknown wolves...she would simply have to wait and see how this played out. Though the fight had begun, she would focus on those around her. There was nothing she could do for Dragon now. |
