His head shot up abruptly as the low howl reached his ears. It was a call he had grown familiar with. The call of an alpha, a sound that rang with a fierce demand for respect and order. Kaien. The wolf Luce had told him countless stories about as they ran to Tortuga. Before he could even think he ran alongside the white goddess to meet the fabled leader, even managing to pass her once or twice. His body swelled with excitement, this was it, the first step to becoming a true Tortugan. His first step in becoming one of the great and feared legion.
He starred in amazement at the beast before him, almost forgetting to bow and show his neck in respect. Almost. He dropped his head hastily, eyes never leaving the magnificent beast before them. "My Liege." He said softly, breath batting lightly against the earth. This was Kaien. Everything the stories had built him up to be and more. A wolf even the great Cairo feared, and Collision's mortal enemy. He would be the one to lead him down a righteous path, and with Neo's help Kain would trample Valhalla into the dust. He had heard stories of what Tortuga wolves did to prisoners, and his body trembled with anticipation. To See Epiphiron begging for her life in one of the holding dens...That would be heaven on earth for the cub.
