Jail Bird Rock

“You’ll find, Bird, that this isn’t the end. No, this is a beginning.” he promised the young man, knowing he still felt some fear at everything that had happened to him. A part of the selfish overlord believed he had rescued the man, offered him something he needed and simply did not know it yet. This would be a mutual thing, for the pack needed bodies, knowledge and workers. Bird needed safety, and pack, and he had found it here.

“The slave rank you possess is nothing but a stepping stone, a place to start from on your path upwards. If you need something, simply ask for it. In return, you will pull your weight, learn your skills, and aid the pack” he explained, finishing the circuit around the Oasis territory. Well they hadn’t covered every part of it, it was enough to have let the man see the basics - where to find water, his den, the food cache, and where Sirius and Zee slept, so he could find them. “Io will train you in the arts of healing, and if you require a more diverse knowledge, there are other healers I can bring in to instruct you.As Zee told you, all wolves in my pack require a basic knowledge of fighting” he continued, hinting once more at the ‘my eyes are everywhere’ feeling he had been giving Bird. After all, he needed to know that the man was trustworthy, and sometimes his soft hearted Wife could get a little silly about words like ‘slave’

“With fighting, I will train you myself, and ensure you know the basics. Midday, bring yourself to the Oasis, and we will begin. In the meantime, your morning is yours.” He finished. He did, despite everything, want Bird to feel comfortable here.
