A howl at the borders disturbed the peaceful spring afternoon in the Hallows. This was no call for her parents or for aid—this was a challenging howl; the Hallows was under attack! Ember had been enjoying the sunshine out in the gardens with a book from the library when the battle began, and moments later her father's summoning call rallied the warriors of the pack to arms. Literally tossing the book aside, Ember rushed back into the castle and up, up, up the stairs to her room to grab her sword and don her armor. With a whistle for her companions, the Carpathian princess was racing back down the stairs to go join the fray, eager for her first real taste of actual combat!

As Ember rushed to join the group, she stood at attention while her sire laid the ground rules. No blades and no excessive force. Aw, what the heck?! Weren't they trying to defend their home? Ember was confused, but sighed and reluctantly drove her sword into the ground near her father's so she wouldn't be tempted to use it. When she followed the charge out through the gate, she realized why they were holding back their force. The enemies at their gate were none other than Heiðinn! Ember's eyes widened with recognition as her gaze danced over Víðarr and Tenshi, watching her father wrestle with the other alpha and realizing then what this was—a friendly raid! The vikings weren't here to hurt them, but they were making for very good adversaries to practice their fighting skills with. Well, if it was a fight they wanted, then it was a fight she was going to give them!

Eyes scanning for opponents, Ember's vision settled on a Goliath of a woman, easily as tall as her sire! Dressed in dark fur hued in blue, she was waiting with an impatient energy, clearly just as eager to get into a fight, and Ember would be happy to provide! Grinning to herself, the princess darted straight for her, weaving in between the ongoing fights with nimble paws as she raced towards her opponent. Part of her epic hero monologue wanted to give a battlecry declaring for the Hallows, but the practical side of her didn't want to tip off her opponent. So instead, Ember settled on a fierce growl as she lunged at the woman, seeking to use her smaller size and agile stature to get in close and aiming a lunging bite up towards her throat, forepaws out and aimed to grapple around the taller wolf's neck.
