Call to arms

Speech ─ Think

With a deep breath, Widow finished preparations for the training session she was about to announce. Perhaps it would be wiser to train within the woods, but the field to the west offered space the woods did not have. Lessons could be modified to work for the woods, and she could even do that here or potentially if the others were interested, hold another session later focusing on stealth and using their home turf to their advantage. Right now, however, Widow only intended on covering the basics unless her wolves craved more.

A second deep breath filled her chest as she tilted her head back and called for her wolves, anyone that wanted to work on becoming a better warrior. Hopefully more than just a few showed up, even if fighting wasn’t their thing. Everyone would have to protect the pack when the time came for it, but she didn’t want to make this mandatory… but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t make the next one so if few arrived today.

Once a gathering of her followers arrived, Widow waited some moments to see if others would come before beginning. ”Thank you for coming today. It’s only going to be a matter of time before other packs start knocking on our door, trying to take our supplies in what’s called a raid. Sometimes, there are friendly raids, mostly just practice where alpha’s agree to cause little harm. Most other times however, these attacks are a surprise, an attempt to catch us off guard,” she began, pausing briefly to look at each follower that had joined. ”We don’t ever want to be caught off guard. The walls of our forest do limit raiders on where they can attack us from, but the forest isn’t the only place they can strike. Today, we’re just going over some basics and strategies before moving on into the forest and eventually to the canyon to cover more specific strategies in those locations.” she came to a pause again, letting it sink in for a moment.

”So, out here in the open field, what are some advantages and disadvantages you can think of?” she questioned with a light smile, wondering how much her followers already knew.
