the empire (of puppies) strikes back

Gossamer was taking a break from her herb lessons and spending the afternoon stalking a frog. She'd just managed to successfully swat it into the water when she heard an unfamiliar howl. She glanced over to her fox companion who informed her that it was likely the call of the Empress. That meant it was time for the pups to gather for hunt training. Gossamer swiftly changed course and headed in the direction of the call with her fox companion loping along beside her. When she arrived there were two adults. She figured these were the wolves that were going to train them and she guessed that the one sitting above the other had to be the empress. Who was the guy with the horns then? She nodded in greeting to the boy she'd met earlier and took her seat to see what was going to happen.
