Two Sides of the Circle of Life [Joining]

To the stallion’s pleasure, it was the Spirit herself that came to see who was calling. Isolde, her job done, drifted down to land on his armored crest, folding her wings and nodding to the alphess. Wangui eyed the wolf, nodding finally with some caution. The lemur was still of some mind that the glowing stallion was a god, even if he didn’t realize it and frankly denied it, and now, here was a glowing wolf she’d only seen at the festival. Respect was paramount to staying undamned.

The Queen greeted him, and the friendly tone was encouraging. Taliesyn dipped his head in a bow, then kept it at a comfortable level for both himself and the wolf to speak comfortably as he admitted, “I’ve actually been seeking a pack my mother told myself and my sister about when we were foals. I originally started searching just to see a piece of her history, but the seasons have stretched into two or more years, and I find myself alone. And so… if this is the Valhalla she told me about, I wish to join.”

He tipped his head around and Wangui unlashed the bundle from his back. The bearskin and its contents dropped gently to the ground at his hooves with his teeth and strong neck to slow its fall, and he stepped back, making it clear he wouldn’t use her distraction to strike while she was vulnerable. “I am a warrior, and have been tried and tested in battle, as well as leadership.”

He fell silent, then, wondering what she’d think. It was down to her whether he had a new home or not.
