CHANGE COMES LIKE THE TIDE

Elli had settled down on her back haunches comfortably while she waited for the others to arrive. Roman had greeted her with a soft nod and she had taken that as a sign to relax a little bit. August was a traitor, the thought occurred to her. Was this the same August who had helped welcome her all those months ago? It was slightly shocking but she knew that his leave would not be forgotten and she might have the opportunity to chase him from the borders with her jaws snapping wildly. The idea, in her mind, brought up memories of who she wanted to be. She was a healer, yes, but she also had a bit of a bloodlust that she had contained for her entire existence. Without further ado, Roman began the meeting. She took note of those who were around her, including a brave stranger. She just hoped that it would be peaceful enough to the point where she wouldn't need to waste any of her stores on the loner. Not like she would anyway.


Dayton, Esperanza, Chrono and now August. They had all left after they had pledged their loyalty. It irritated her slightly. They should have known what they were getting into from the start. Then Roman announced something that Elli did not expect at all. Tortuga was to be renamed to be Regium and there were going to be changes in ranks and laws. She smiled slightly. She was alright with it all and she understood the reasoning. Roman thanked them for their support in her summons to war that had never really happened. That was another thing, Covari's collapse caused her to be more irritable then usual. Elli had been a little more violent that she ever showed and she wondered if her fighting side was starting to appear. She hoped it was not, because then it might squash her healing half and she was a Curi. She wanted to be Cura. It was a war that ever raged in her mind. She sat there with a gaze of understanding. She was staying. "Queen Roman, I am a Regium wolf until my dying breathe and maybe even after."
