He returned her grateful smile, and when she nodded and accepted his offer to elaborate on pack ranks he nodded, and started off across the field, in such a way as to keep the wind from blasting the small female. ?I?ll begin with Valhalla?s Ranks. We have the most simple and most common rank names, Alpha, Beta, Heir, Delta, and so on. Those are the higher ranked wolves. Chrysanthe is Valhalla?s Alpha female, and currently we haven?t got an Alpha male. Myself and a white female named Aislyn are the Betas of Valhalla. We can fill in as Alphas if need be, Aislyn even filled in for Cairo, Chrysanthe?s sire when he was Alpha of Valhalla. Azalea is our Heir. When it comes time for Chrysanthe to step down. The Alpha status will go to Azalea. ?Now, a male named Thane is our Delta, a trusted member of Valhalla, and he has a great deal of good advice and wisdom. Now I?ll move on to the lead hunter, healer, and warriors. Our Lead Healer, or Theta, is my own sister, Erani. She?s white, beautiful, and has our mother?s blue eyes, but a shade darker. You?ll know her if you see her, should you choose Valhalla as your home. She?s the best healer in the packs, in a lot of wolves? opinions.? He winked at Meili. Then he went on, tail waving as if to embellish his narrative of the Valhallan ranking and the wolves that made up the ranks. ?Next is our Lead Hunter, or Psi, Ashtoreth. She?s a sweet wolf, grey with lovely eyes. The start as gold at the centers, then turn to amethyst. She?s a fine hunter, and keeps us well fed, with help from those who join her to hunt large prey. ?We haven?t got a Lead Warrior, or Digamma, yet. My personal nomination for the place would be Erani?s mate, Nova. He?s not at all ambitious though. Our Gammas, upper warriors, and Etas, Regular healers, are Ookami, Morgan, and Nova, then Rayne and Soleil, and Preston, but he?s been absent for a very long time. Then there are the Epsilons, who are regular members without a set rank, or pups. Then, Omega. The punished ones. These wolves have no rank whatsoever, but they aren?t abused, nor hurt unnecessarily. Now, that?s Valhalla?s ranks. We have Allies, Ludicael, Glaciem, and Seracia. Seracia is Kingdom ranked, King, Queen, Princesses and Princes and so on. Their current King is Gerhardt Matthias. His son Maverick will take the throne after him, with Chrysanthe?s sister, Epiphron taking her place by his side as Queen. Seracia will be well off with them. Ludicael is ranked with celestial names, so far as I?ve heard. I?ll have to ask Deteste next time I see him. ?Glaciem is the northern Pack. Their Alphas are called Chiefs,, Betas are Betas, and then there are the Braves, or Warriors. And Healers are called just that. I?ve heard they have a bear with them. Valhalla has a horse named Obsidian, so I can?t say that at all surprises me. Obsidian is friendly, but happily does her best to train as a warrior. I met her when the mountain in the old land erupted and packs were fleeing. No matter what I tried, she stayed with me, and I ended up bringing her to Valhalla, and surprisingly, they let her stay. She?s grown on me over the seasons.? Mismatched eyes rolled up to the sky, tail flicking slightly with embarrassment. Not many wolves would accept a horse as a friend instead of a meal, and fewer still would admit to liking one as a friend. But Obsidian had won a lot of hearts in Valhalla. He had a feeling Chrysanthe actually quite adored the mare. Obsidian was faithful to the end, and fiercely ready to defend her friends. However, he wasn?t at all embarrassed to admit that Obsidian was a friend. But he did wonder. How would the mare feel when the wolves she had befriended grew old and died while she grew slowly? He knew she would have a longer lifespan than the wolves. And he wasn?t young. Mismatched gaze dropped to Meili. ?What would you like to know next?? |
