The drop

A prize? Naah, she had failed to be a prize in and of herself. Her sarcasm was not expected though, and the ivory yearling had to wonder just who she came out of to come out like this. His mother was a Queen, his family royalty despite their rogue status, what was she? Curious, but not willing to quiz the girl, he would watch her step forward and challenge his words. Funny, he could see his sister responding in a similar way to his teasing, or pushing him halfway down this mountain... "Amenti? It's not being run by chicks anymore?" He hadn't really paid too much attention to the packs and who was runnning them, but Artemis had told him a bit about the little kingdom, as well as Cantinna... but it would seem that someone else had claimed it.

Which meant he didn't know where the hell Artemis was staying anymore. He could only hope that it was still up north. "Damn it all, I'll never find her now." He muttered, clearly annoyed with what had happened, but that seemed to be how things went. Weak rulers would grab hold of new lands and then let them go... someone strong needed to step up already... "I'm here to see how far I can make it up. The world's not without its natural challenges." He would faintly grin, toothless, but a snide sort of smirk was natural to him.

"You feel like telling me what Amenti's like now? Keeping tabs with the place is nearly impossible." How was Artemis supposed to play a leader and steal their crown if they couldn't well and good hold onto it long enough? His question had already been answered, but what he really wanted to know was how long would this Syrinx guy stick around before he bailed?
