you're ready to go (Fiori)

Only a few short weeks from turning two, Kassander had all but reached his full height and weight. He had reached his full height a little less than a year ago, but the months since then - many of them full of physical training rather than simply healing as he'd done his first year of life - had packed muscle onto the previously slim alpha. He was far from ponderous, but his shoulders were broader, his legs stronger, and he had clearly matured into a handsome and strong adult. It was more than that though. Even in the short time since he'd made his way across the land, meeting a few of the alphas, he had begun to really grow into his position. He'd learned to accept it, even to embrace it, and the adversity within his own ranks - and the broken state of his siblings when they had reappeared on Ebony's threshold - had forced him to mature faster than if he had simply floated through the months safely cocooned away as he'd allowed himself to be when Val had been the one who had needed to deal with it all. His last trip had failed to acquire any solid allies, though he had liked Valen and Drashiel... had learned a lot from them in their very short meetings. Drashiel's pack had vanished from the north, and Kassander had no idea why or what had happened. Had they simply moved? Disbanded? He didn't know, and he wouldn't find out, or learn about his closer neighbors, by sitting at home doing nothing. He wanted to find Drashiel and visit Valentine, but it was more important that he learn more about the other packs and possibly secure allies. All his talk all those months ago about standing up to the injustices of the world and yet still he'd done nothing. He found himself at the edge of... well, a forest, but the trees grew within water. It seemed a very wet and unpleasant place to live, but who was he to judge? Perhaps the wolves who lived in this pack were simply fond of the water, or maybe they were fishers by nature. Taking a deep breath to settle his nerves - he had grown, but he hadn't quite grown out of his discomfort with socializing - he sent out a howl politely requesting the alpha's presence... whoever they were. |
