He arrived, finally, and her jowls twitched as she tried to keep her face stern. ?About time, you!? The grin broke through her stern expression. ?I missed you too, brother. I still have a lot to tell you about. And I have some extra special news.? Her tail flicked into a happy wag as her mismatched eyes peered up into his golden stare. Then her rump plopped gracelessly to the ground. ?First off; I plan to rebuild the pack.? All playfulness fell away and the Queen fell into place in her eyes and demeanor. She sat straighter, and her gaze was more direct, her ears pulling forward to gauge his reaction. ?It will be like Valhalla, but different, just the same. I want members to prove themselves on a daily basis as worthy members of the pack. I want warriors to train daily, spar often. I don?t want wolves who can run off without a word to their Alpha.? Her voice had changed to, gone from teasing to powerfully, firm.

She studied his face as she spoke. What would he think? He?d missed out on being in the pack while their mother was Queen. ?I won?t be handing out high ranks to anyone but mother. She?s proven herself over and again as a healer and teacher. I think a lead healer rank would suit her in her waning years. It?s where she?s happiest.? This much was true. Erani had been a good, kind leader, but although her energy never seemed to waver while she?d been Queen, that never meant that her mother hadn?t been exhausted by the end of the day. As the Lead Healer, with fellow healers to take the slack, she could rest in her old age, and focus on teaching the next generation.

Surreal gazed at her brother. ?Will you be with us, Castiel? Be a wolf in the pack I rebuild? Or? Would you rather explore Alacritia more, learn more about the packs in the land? There are several, now, not just six. Battlesong says at least twelve packs reside here and there in the lands now-- Oh. Battlesong is my companion, by the way. She?s a Hawk.? She added the last bit with a grin, before her eyes turned serious again, piercing her brothers gaze as she waited to see what he would say.
