One by one wolves arrived and took a seat around the would be arena. Ignis had arrived first, and although he knew his Nephew was excited, Acere had come to the field with the intention of remaining professional. He didn't return thr playful shoulder bump, nor a quippy remark. Instead, he nodded to his nephew as he stood there and watched as others arrived. He spotted Celestial's alpha arrive, though she was hard to miss, and returned her nod. To Shaye and Actaea he also offered a nod of greeting, and when Tana arrived he watched as she settled as far from Shaye as she could. He wasn't sure what he was going to do with her if she couldn't get over her fears. Nobody was going to hurt her, and if she refused to find the confidence to strive for better things then perhaps she was a lost cause. Even so, he would try to help her along, but he wasn't inclined to hold her hand the entire way. He would have offered her a nod, but seeing as how she couldn't see, he continued to search for the wolf he had summoned to meet him. Crimson gaze instead found a few wolves that appeared to be from Ignatius' pack...and his brows knit together slightly. If his members had come...where was he?
He slowly turned his head to survey the crowd, wondering if maybe Ignatius was coming from another direction, but he was met with the sight of Elara and he couldn't help but offer a smile and a nod to her. He was nervous, heart pounding in his ears as more came, some he recognized and others he didn't. While he would have tried to greet them all, his attention was more focused towards mentally preparing for the fight to come. Or at least...the one he had hoped would come. He respected Ignatius, just like he respected most any alpha. But it seemed that Fyri's leader wasn't coming. Perhaps his observations had been right. The northern leaders scent had been scarce for some time, and he had noticed during his ventures in the north lands. He had hoped that this would bring him from the wood work, to at least reassure him and possibly his pack mates that he was still around and ready to defend his crown.
He couldn't help but feel disappointed with Ignatius' absence...so after waiting a while longer and after the spectators stopped coming, he took a deep breath and sighed. "I suppose he's not coming." He glanced around as if to double check. That maybe Ignatius was hiding among the crowd ready to jump out like some sort of strange custom. But no. "It is unfortunate that Ignatius didn't make it, but enough time has passed. I am now Fyri's new alpha." He surveyed the crowd again, this time lingering on the wolves he assumed were part of Ig's pack. "Those who were under his leadership are free to go, if you wish." Standing tall, he addressed everyone else, mainly the rogues and his followers that were there. "I will be staking my claim in the North. Those who wish to find out more can follow me there, or seek me out later."
That was that. He nodded to Shaye and Rhyme, then motioned to his niece and nephew that it was time to go. Of course, those who had decided to follow him before this would likely follow him as well, or he'd meet up with them when he made his first call in the North. As he moved past the crowd in his quest to the North Lands, he couldn't help but wonder what had become of Fyri's alpha...it was unfortunate that he hadn't gotten the chance to fight for the pack, but it was what it was. He could finally start this new chapter in his life.
