the viper & cobra

Approaching the mouth of a den, Sephiran inspected the entrance before entering. It was rather large- perhaps the largest, and better-insulated den out of the rest. But then the rattling came- ominous in sound, echoing off the cavern walls. It made his pelt bristle- not out of fear or worry. It was thrill that rolled down his spine, being so close to danger, and the possibility of harvesting such a potent venom.

Moving towards an incline that looked out over the plains, the duo took a seat and looked out across the territory. A soft wind rustled their pelts, carrying their scent out into the plains. Her words filled his ears, as a contemplative expression morphed his features. She was right- in this territory, they could flourish, far better than the north. Plus, the north had become rather dull lately. They needed a change of pace to better hone their skills. “Agreed.” He said, shifting his eyes to her. “The band will move here for the summer season, as we prepare to invade our competitors.”  The corners of his lips curled into a devious, wicked smirk. One that gave insight into the hostile thoughts forming in his mind, as he fantasized about raiding other packs and causing havoc.

In the days to come, Sephiran would announce this transition to his members- using both his falcon, and his beloved cousin Kaino to deliver the news. And for her compliance and diligence, Sephiran would reward her. "You may choose your den before the others, Kiano." He said, before peeling himself away from her side, to go and select the den he would decorate in his... treasures.
