Sun is Setting in the West

Quote:

Hearing Preston step up brought a small smile to the woman's face. Her older brother would enjoy the islands she was sure, he had said that he was skilled in using the plants that grew on islands for healing. Once he was around long enough for the other healers to get acquainted with him, he would make a good lead. The position had been his once before - it could easily be again. "Our healers will make good use of your help Preston." She would say to him, trusting him not to let her down. "Etas - Preston was once a lead healer here in Valhalla, and knows a lot about the different herbs that will grow in our new territory. Listen to him." She had faith in her healers to make sure that this went over smoothly. Between Preston and Erani, Chrysanthe felt that no one would be left in the dark.



Azalea didn't want the position of heir just yet, and she didn't blame her in the least. The woman would nod - but would take care to speak with her after the meeting. "Whenever you're ready." The place had been hers from the start, it was not something that she saw changing anytime soon.



The woman knew that there would be hesitation from some in regards to the move. Imena and Cael were going to start a family soon, so her asking questions didn't strike her as strange or insulting. It was good - she was thinking about the future too - Chrysanthe only hoped that she knew the alpha was acting in the pack's best interest for the future. If Glaciem were to cross over, they would not make it in far at all - there was only a single point that they could enter the pack's lands. "We will. The borders are now a single point on the island, there are no angles that they can try and surprise us with, no back ways for them to invade. They can't slip onto our territory without us being there, ready for them. There's no reason for any future fights to surpass the beaches of our new home." Their allies would be able to close in on their enemies from behind, but she would have to make sure her allies were still her allies. Amenti had Syrinx, but she did not expect him to just fight her battles for her. Same with Seracia - they had risked sending a few of their warriors to the siege and had nearly lost Themisto and Bronze. Leaning on her allies put them in danger, and it wasn't something that Chrysanthe liked to do.



She would have to train her gamma - and train with them.



"So long as we keep watch of our borders, we will be safer there." She would patrol them night and day herself if she had to.
