he followed Enyo into the gorge, deep down until they found a clear expanse. he moved at her side, his littermate, as they then halted after some minutes. the wolves all gathered near and he slunk off to the right, seating himself near the cave wall as his attentive gaze flickered over the males that came for Enyo's testing. a family tradition it was to weed out the weaker ones in the group to then target them for the rest of the season before they were due a rematch with the family warlord. Enyo was relentless, and perhaps too enthusiastic about it all(as she usually was). he knew why that might've been, but he doesn't speak on it; rather, he found it fitting for todays practice. she'd hit them harder because she could. and he was all here for it-, the dunamis had to be worked like this for the battles and enemies they'd trample over later.

"You will be first for your indecency at the insomniac borders. you represented me and you looked like a fool." he glanced at the singled out male, his face empty of consideration and emotion. he then looked at Enyo before tossing his head towards Nik, gesturing she approach. "Harm him." he gave the offset, demanding action against Nikolaos for stepping out of line previously. even the slightest disregard would be met with a swift match of pain. as cold if not more than his father, Érebos enjoyed what was to come before meeting his sister in battle after them all.
