Where it all began

Walk | "Talk" | think

Kotori had been stalking a squat looking grey creature with black legs and head with a white blaze down its face.  Stalking might be overstating it as the creature had turned its head to look at him several times making some snarly-hiss threatening sound.  Kotori wasn’t sure how exactly to attack it, for all its small size it had a pretty confident and hateful personality.  In fact, Kotori had backed up twice when it had lunged in closer.  It was a game of how close could Kotori get before it decided to attack.  The pup was guessing if he got in close and the thing lunged at him Kotori could try to avoid the attack and bite at the top of its head?

Kotori sped up his pace, the creature turned, and then he heard Gossy screeching to her fox friend in the distance.  Were these mom and dad’s friends? “Another time!” He warned the badger as he ran off to leave the angry creature to its own devices.  He’d find it again another day.  After a bit he could smell the strangers and then there they all were.  “Hey, Goss!” Then he looked to the strangers, several pups and two adults.  “I’m Kotori Fatalis,” the brown and black pup with boldly stated with tail and head held high with all the authority belonging to a young pup. His horns were starting to poke out a bit and with them his feelings of importance.  He was the son of Zee and Sirius Fatalis, and the only boy in this current litter, brother of Mort and Azure which meant he had to act the part. “Walking on pack lands you are supposed to state your names and purpose.”  Sure, they were probably mom and dad’s friends, but they had to properly obey the rules on entering the land.  Right?
