Erani

Erani listened with interest to Laila?s answer, sharp interest keep in her eyes. ?So you?re new to Alacritia, then?? The cats next words brought a soft chuckle from the wolf, accompanied with a small, understanding nod. ?I know what you mean. I was actually coming here to take a small swim, myself.? She tilted her head toward the cool water of the lake.

Laila spoke hesitantly, next, asking about a rocky location. Erani pondered, wondering if the cat would be persuaded to reside in Valhalla?s vast territory, in return for an allegiance that would be a boon to Valhalla in the event of a siege. ?I know of many. Here in Valhalla, I would say Whisperers Gorge is our rockiest place. There are a great deal of caves and such within its area.? Here, she paused, gathering her thoughts into a careful sentence.

?Last winter, my pack went through a war against a pack in the north, Glaciem. With them, they had two big cats, allies to them. Now, an old wolf can learn new tricks. I would be willing to allow you to reside within our borders, with the understanding that the members of my pack be unharmed, and that if we ever go through a siege, you lend a paw, even if it?s just by guarding the children, elders, and wounded. Also, we have an ally, a horse named Obsidian. She fought in our war, was wounded fighting beside Valhalla?s warriors, by one of those big cats. I ask that she remain off your list of prey.? With the way she worded it, she left the choice to Laila; agree to the terms and have a home, or turn away and leave unmolested.

She just hoped the cat would stay. For some reason, she rather liked this feline.
