She waited patiently for the Avalon alphess, and while she waited, she did her best to try and catch her breath but she had been running non-stop since she left her sister and Eltrys at the Hallows that it almost felt impossible. Her heart hammered in her chest, and she hoped with all hope that this had been the right decision. She had been mulling over different options in her head, but this would be the one she'd try first. If Corbie couldn't help, and Artorias didn't help, then what other choices were there? She feared the Raiders would come back with a vengeance, and while she didn't fear for herself, she feared for her family.

Gaze looked up to find Corbie racing in her direction, the telltale sign of alarm and threat on the woman's face, but it didn't phase Saga. Honestly, she was used to that reaction by now, wolves simply weren't used to seeing a bear as sentient as they were. She had been raised among wolves. But not many had been raised among bears, she had learned. It seemed some form of recognition would wash over Corbie as she eventually calmed, even apologizing as she approached her. Saga did her best to muster a smile as she nodded, "It's okay, I tend to get that reaction a lot, and yes, I am! My name is Saga!"

And then the question came.

Her attempt at a smile faded away to be replaced by a grim line and a sigh of frustration, a trouble look in her eyes. "Yes, actually. That is why I'm here...they don't know I came to seek help. My sister is at the Hallows right now I think, I just escorted her there with another pack member and then I came straight here. We're having some trouble with the Raider wolves..." She took a deep breath to calm fraying nerves, though it was more for worry about her family than fear of their enemy. "The Raider wolves have been causing us trouble. They raided us a while back, came for our chickens. My mother...she maimed one of their pups. She didn't mean to, but they came under cover of night and we had no idea what was going on. My brother Gavroche, followed them right after because he wanted to try to help as a means of apology, but they tried to attack him. He got away, but then Haydee followed to get him back and the man that leads them maimed her. We tried to raid them back for our chickens, but they killed them, I think. They said they were sick, but we take very good care of our flock and we know they were healthy before they were taken." She paused to take a breath and think about things for a moment.

Her mind was reeling with everything between the two packs. And she just wanted it to stop. For them to leave Ethne alone. To leave her family alone. "They keep trying to cause us trouble and grief...and it doesn't matter how many times my mother or my sister apologize or tried to make things right." Her brows furrowed as she continued, "They keep saying to apologize to their child, but that child wouldn't have gotten hurt if they hadn't brought pups to a raid! I don't understand it...and earlier...the one named Gilgamesh trespassed into our territory like he owned the place. Made demands, told my sister to go and apologize to his daughter? There were a few of us present for the conversation. My sister, she is so stressed and tired of it all, she just wants it to stop. She tried to walk away and he was told and offered to be escorted out. But then he tried to attack Haydee while her back was turned, like a coward! And I...well...I attacked him. I defended my sister. But I forget my own strength sometimes. I guess I hit him too hard and sent him flying, he hit his head. And now he's unconscious, but my pack is trying to treat him before taking him to the Hallows so they can take over. But...one of his pack members saw what happened before he ran off, but we were too busy tending to the stupid man so we didn't bother going after him. I'm afraid things are going to get out of control and that they'll try to seek revenge. I just want them to leave my sister - my family - alone."

She hadn't realized how much she said. Whether it was enough or not. She didn't know where else to go or who to turn to. But her mother had said Avalon was a kind pack, and while she didn't expect Avalon to go running to save their hides...well...she was hoping for something. Advice? Maybe another voice of reason? She didn't know Corbie nor Artorias, but as much as her sister and mother kept going to him, there didn't seem to be much help on that end. Corbie, she supposed, was her last attempt at finding help before things went terribly wrong.
