Serves You Right.

Erani

Erani answered he rusty smile with an easy one of her own as her haunches settled into the grass, deep blue pools resting on the amber gaze as he greeted her. She read the sincerity in those eyes, and her smile warmed. As he spoke next, she gave a soft chuckle. ?I imagine you did. You aren?t the only one. Another of our members arrived just two days past?? Coeus, who had vanished on the night she was attacked and nearly killed looking for the herb that might heal Guinevere? He had arrived at last, confused, mangled. She?d settled him into an alcove of her den. Looking at him, she could imagine that he?d gone through hell; he?d have been back sooner if he hadn?t had trouble. She?d known from the moment she?d met him that he was a wolf who would stay loyal, though she hadn?t seen him since Guinevere?s death.

His next words were a question. Her eyes dropped to the space between his front paws as she thought back, over so much that had happened? ?Luna, where to start?? Surely he should hear of the happier things first? ?Well, after? After Guinevere passed, Cairo; you?ll recall that he was the Alpha then, though Aislyn was filling for him. He gave me their children to raise. They were a great help in keeping me sane. Then the northern Pack, Glaciem, came and warned us of the Eruption coming, perhaps two weeks before it truly erupted. They felt the tremors, and knew what it meant. If not for them, Valhalla would be ash in the Old land?.?

She tapped her tail, thinking. The exodus? Getting separated from the rest of the Pack, with Cairo?s children in tow? Taking shelter in Red Forest in a redwood tree.. Cairo finding them and leading them back? Cairo? No, not now. Sentimental feelings needed to wait. ?Myself and Cairo?s children were separated some time into our arrival in this land, in the north in Red Forest? I found shelter, and Cairo found us and led us back. He and his son, Collision had found this territory. And we were grouping here. Cairo handed Valhalla over to Collision, a mistake. He wasn?t ready. So we settled, and Glaciem settled in the north. Tortuga made it as well. They?re up in the mountains north East of here. Mount Volkan? An active volcano, of all places.? She paused, collecting her thoughts.

Luna?s stars, there was so much that had happened? ?So? Collision went north, and from what I gather, he would have broken a healthy alliance with Glaciem if his sister were still alpha there, but Gargoyle, their brother was alpha, and the Alliance stood. There?s a southern pack, Seracia? Collision formed an Alliance, but the way he would have gone through with it would have broken two hearts, Epiphron and Chrysanthe, Cairo?s daughters. Or two of his daughters. Eos vanished around the time we settled? Luckily, this alliance thing smoothed over, and turned out right. Collision demoted me when I stood up for Chrysanthe?s freedom. Epiphron was made alpha female, and then when Collision stepped down and Cairo took back his place for a moment, she handed her throne to Chrysanthe. She went to solidify the Alliance with Seracia by? Marrying the son of the king there. Maveerick. A fine fellow. They?ve just had their first litter, and are now the alphs there.? She took a breath, and gave Erebus a slightly sheepish look. She knew this was a lot to take in.

?We have a horse, and I beg of you, do not eat her. Her name is Obsidian, and she is wonderful with the pups. Oh! Pups. We?ve had a litter born again? Two girls, and so many new members? And I found my brother, after so many years of thinking I was the last living member of my birth pack? He?s the Beta now.? She smiled slightly. Then the smile fell. ?We had a flood this spring? Aislyn drowned. And before her, Cairo passed on.? And before that? The things Cairo had told her? ?Aislyn?s daughter Liberty caused some trouble. She ran into the wrong crowd and instead of going home, she let her grief addle her mind and flirted, something a wolf who is hardly even a yearling shouldn?t be doing. Glaciem is no longer under the rule of Gargoyle. That group are now a nomad band or rogues. The newest leader is a male, Isardis. And he is who Liberty ran across. Now he?s Challenging for her. If this goes wrong, we?ll be at war.? She finished finally. ?I think that?s about all of it?? Her tail flicked over her haunches to curl about her paws as she looked at him, wondering if his head was whirling yet.
