Surreal

Surreal stretched out beside her mother, eyes drifting shut as wolves milled and arrived, finding places to sit. She must have dozed off, because next thing she knew, the clearing was almost full when she opened her eyes, and Chrysanthe was speaking to them. She sat up a little and focused her attention. They needed a lead Warrior. She could try that! Then her sister continued. Surreal?s lower jaw slackened mismatched gold and blue eyes popping wide open. Beta? Beta?! Beta! Her mother nuzzled her, and she listened to her words through the fog of amazement. She was going to be trained to be a Beta! And under Uncle Cormalin! Her tail whapped the ground, and she sat up, returning the grin Uncle Cormalin aimed at her. ?I will work hard, and I will not let Valhalla down.? She would get to walk beside Liberty, but why was Gael going to train as a Beta too?

Chrysanthe was going on. Surreal knew about the attack on Rayne. Cormalin and her mother had been training her and her sisters in combat maneuvers. Surreal had excelled, and her mother?s training had helped her relax into that still calmness that hid intentions and emotions. Chrysanthe went on to talk about Syrinx and Eos. They were Chrysanthe?s siblings, but she had never seen Eos, and Syrinx? She remembered the big brown male that looked a lot like Cairo had, only his lower jaw was bare to the bone. He was scary. Some internal understanding told her that though they had been raised by Erani, they were not brother and sister like Chrysanthe and Epiphron were to herself and her siblings. She understood that they didn?t accept Erani as a mother like her sisters did.

She listened to Chrysanthe. Liberty was being challenged for? Her ears dropped back and she glanced around, finally spotting the grey female. Liberty looked so dejected. Surreal lifted to her paws and padded over to her and sat beside her, nudging her shoulder, giving a smile of encouragement. Azalea was speaking, and Surreal focused her full attention on the conversation. If she was going to be a Beta someday, she needed to learn all she could, from being taught, and watching all around her. Then Cousin Caerul spoke up. She looked around at him, ears perked curiously. She didn?t doubt he?d be a good fighter. Oh! When had they got there? She smiled at her cousins, and received a quick grin from Cousin Alsander in response.
