Let me in, unlock the door

Epiphron could only hope that Iowerth would be happy here. Admittedly, it was not the most pleasant time to join Seracia -- the pack was abuzz with worries about the impending war that their close ally, Valhalla, had with the northern wolves of Glaciem -- but she hoped he would not be deterred by the events. There would be no need for him to be involved unless he desired to. Of course, it would be a different story if Seracia was being attacked directly, but luckily that was not the case.

This Iowerth certainly seemed a respectful fellow; a welcome addition to their family. One thing that Epiphron did not tolerate well was rudeness and lack of respect. Even she openly respected those below her, at least on the surface -- how else would she gain trust?

The male seemed content to join her, and while he was somewhat inexpressive, it was obvious he was not displeased. He would follow as she began to lead him into the territory. He began to speak, and her dual-colored ears would perk with genuine interest -- he was born of a pack called Ahlon, then went to one called Uroril. It wasn't something she'd ever heard of, so she figured it was a great distance away. It seemed to be a Kingdom also, but it seemed to be run slightly different than Seracia. More of a monarchy, with rulers chosen by blood alone. Certainly it was a consideration for her, as well, but thus far none of her own children had been placed in any outstanding rank. Not until they showed they desired it, and earned it. Though it was not surprising that her own kin might get consideration before others..

"Then I think you've come to the right place, Iowerth," she said thoughtfully. In the distance, the sight of the massive barn rose up in the sky. It was a peculiar sight indeed, but she'd learned it was made by the humans, the things with only two legs, long ago. The roof was caving in ever so slightly, but it was a wonderful shelter through the winter. "Though I can understand the pain of leaving family. I was not born in Seracia. I came here just three seasons ago. My marriage to Maverick was done to secure an alliance that we have with a neighboring pack, Valhalla. I was ruling there at the time, but knew that this alliance was best for my family." It wasn't entirely done selflessly, but did he have to know that?
