Odette watched Sibelle's reaction, both verbally and physically. Sibelle despised her home, the name itself, and the idea of Solstice as a whole. She didn't blame her former Queen for being ill about the whole situation. One domino had been knocked down, creating a reaction of pandemonium that could not be cleaned up by one sweeping hand. Instead, the domino effect had hit everyone that still remained in Solstice, the ones who cared about the pack...including her. Odette's claws dug into the ground again as she listened to the anger and hurt in Sibelle's voice. She couldn't lose the russet-furred woman, not after all of what happened to her. The newly made Alpha looked at Sibelle with a strange gaze when she asked her if she was going to keep Solstice the way it was. Her gaze held pride and a fire that hadn't burned in her since she was a pup. "Actually," she said in a deadly calm voice, "I intend to make some changes." Before she had even joined Solstice, she had these plans locked away in her brain, unsure if she would need them again. "Glaciem was once my father's pack, his pride and joy, along Mama and my siblings. Our whole family was there, from the stories that Mother -- Chrysanthe -- told me when I was younger." Her ears perked and she felt her chest brim with confidence. "I want to make Solstice my own legend, my own pride and joy, and my own...all over." She softly smiled. "Solstice will be renamed Glaciem and as such, I want to also move our pack to the North..." She said this last bit in a low tone, not sure how Sibelle would react. "The North is my home, Sibelle, it is in my blood and evidently, part of who I am." She let her thick fur ruffle itself as she shook all over, tail still curled nearly on her lower back. "Glaciem will be a new beginning, a pack that won't have havoc or traitors in our midst...I want Glaciem to become a beacon of hope for those unsure of where to go..." In short, Odette wanted Glaciem to be like Camelot. "I cannot imagine this bright future without you in it.."
