What hurts the most

As Charlie spoke of the distrust between this pack and that one, he realised there was a high probability that Charlie didn’t know the full conflict between the Armada and the Raiders Hollow - formally the Pirates. “If you do intend to go that way, you should know the full story. You should know that the Pirates - now Raiders often harassed the Armada. One of them kidnapped Hana, another spent a good year harassing Gossamer every chance they got, attempting to maim her, attempting to kill her. Your mother put that pirate down.” He said, his voice soft. “Gil himself trespassed into Armada territory to terrorise and hunt Hana down.” he continued thinking back to all the slights and harassment of their enemies. There was a reason the Armada did not classify them as friendly.

“When we lived in the grassy plains, when the middle litter were just babies, they tried to set our territory on fire. When we came to put it out and stop it spreading, they attempted to maim myself and Azure. That was one of the worst, if that had spread…” He shook his head. “I’m not trying to scare you, or put you off. I’m only telling you to watch your back if you go there, and ensure you have a way to contact me. I’d fight my way through each and every one of them to get you back if I had to.” He promised Charlie. He actually hoped that Charlie was able to find some common ground between himself and Dread and Deluge, but if he was walking into the lion's dead then he needed to know their capacity for hurting others. “I will not bring the Armada to attack the Radiers Hollow - without provocation - while Dread is among them. If we fight him, it's because he’s chosen to come, and to raid us.” He promised Charlie. He was not sure what that would do to them if it came to pass. It would certainly tear a hole in this family.
