What did you see?[Joining/Athena&Amalia?]

The call of a stranger roused Epiphron from light slumber. With grace she would rise to all fours, beginning to stretch her limbs and shake sleep quickly from her form. Though she trusted her children to help as needed, she knew much of the pack’s beginning depended on her own ambition; and so with ease she would slip from her den, making her way toward the masculine howl.

When she arrived at the scene, there was no male; only Amalia, and her daughter Arian. The shape that she was in was nothing short of appalling. Her wounds were fresh, though it seemed someone had taken care to try to help with the healing. A frown graced her features as she quickened her pace, coming to face Arian with a soft, sympathetic expression. “Arian,” she began to speak to her daughter with firm but kind tones. ”You are home now. Do not be afraid.” There was something different about her, in the way she stood so fearfully, in her submissive posture and the scared expression that shone brightly in her eyes. Even Amalia had tears visible in her own eyes, and she tilted her head in quiet inquiry to her daughter. ”What has happened here?” The scent of a male remained in the air, and yet there was nobody here besides her two children, her beautiful, strong Amalia and her battered and broken Arian, who she was determined to build back up, no matter the cost.
