Hakuna Matata
She explained a bit about what the Abraxas had done to Dragoste, and his curiosity only grew. Where did the Abraxas come from? What did they want exactly? And why were they targeting the other packs? Maybe it was a power thing...maybe they wanted the other packs to see just how strong they were. He had heard some of them talk about their fallen god and heard a little about their beliefs, but he had never really asked. Maybe he should have done a little investigating of his own, but for now...it was up to Iskra. He just hoped she would come back safely from her journey, and after fulfilling whatever little deal she had going with the Malleus she mentioned. "I would like to speak to them at some point, if you don't mind? Ganta and Roza were good friends of mine, I need to know that they're okay, and if there are former members of their pack here then they might know where they are." Of course, he had no idea that Ganta had been killed. He had started to become good friends with the long haired male, he had such a good disposition and an upbeat attitude.
When she asked why they might have targeted his pack, Kimahri seemed to a slight bit of irritation at the question. "Probably because he's blind and they figured he was an easy target!" He growled, though he quieted when Shiva came up and roughly shoved his shoulder. "You don't have to be so rude Kimahri, she was just asking a question!" Sighing, she turned to Sparrow with a calmer, nicer attitude. "Don't mind him. He is right though. It may have also been due to the fact that our pack was the only one closest to them...they set up in Auster, you see. Not far from where Talis had settled for the last couple of years. The first pack that sprung up before Dragon got challenged, smelled heavily of many members...in fact, I'd say almost all of them were present at the challenge. And just that one family alone seemed to rival Talis in numbers, and there were almost a couple dozen of us..."
Dragon nodded grimly, confirming all that Kimahri and Shiva had said. "My reasoning for them attacking other packs might be just a show of force...probably trying to spread fear, unnerve those around them. I...can't say for certain, but if they're gathering in numbers every time they challenge, then it sounds like a scare tactic. I had to admit, I got nervous and put on edge when I smelled so many of them..." He grew quiet as Sparrow seemed...nervous? At least, it was the vibe he got when her voice quieted down, asking him for advice. [b]"There is a possibility they will target Abaven. Based on scent alone, it seems your pack doesn't have the numbers it used to have. That's just my observation from previous visits...but in all honesty, I don't think any pack is safe from them." He frowned, lowering his head a little as the thought of Abaven falling didn't sit well with him. He had known about Abaven forever, an old standing pack that had been around for years. His mother had been close friends with Bass, and they had been allies before too. He hoped that at one point, he could maybe continue that and form a friendship or somethinf of the sort with Sparrow and the other members here. But if the Abraxas came for it, then..."I suggest you all keep your wits about you, and train to fight. Make sure all your members are aware, and honing their fighting skills. If the Abraxas do decide to come for Abaven, you should all be prepared. You don't know if they'll come rushing all at once, or if it'll be a one on one challenge. Either way, Abaven should stay on their toes and be prepared."
As unsettling and as grim as that may have sounded, there was truth to it. He himself had started to slack off in his training. He hadn't trained hard enough to fight well enough with his blindness, but now that he knew of this threat, he would train as much as he possibly could. "I can help, if you'd like. While I plan on resurrecting Talis...it's going to take some time to rebuild. I can help train your members, and I can even regroup some of my former pack members to help as well." He laid the offer out on the table for her. Truth be told, he figured maybe sticking around Abaven to help out a bit could possibly be beneficial to both of them. But more importantly, he truly did want to help prepare them for whatever might come.
