A NEW ERA BEGINS

The claimed one remained silent when everyone showed up, although she couldn't help but tuck behind Sibelle slightly when so many strangers surrounded her. It wasn't hard for her small form to vanish behind Sibelle's russet one, but all the wolves seemed to form a circle around them. Biting her lip she didn't let go of the whine that dared to sound, staying quiet even when some strong voices spoke out. There was a few faces that she knew, but not much at all. And then they came, the small ones. Ekko's whole body froze, feeling as if someone had dunked her into a ice cold river. Why was there so many of them? There was no stopping the whine now, it sounded as her ears fell flat onto her rusty red skull. Her short tail tucked between her legs as fear scent rolled off her tiny bodice. No, there was way too many of them. She needed to shut off the images that threatened to render her a useless beast. How could she pay attention to her lady if she was rolled into a little fear ball? She needed to get a hold of herself. She squeezed her pale blue eyes closed, shutting everything out. It wasn't hard with only one hearing ear.
Sibelle's voice shattered her barrier, one single eye peeking open to see that she was going over the ranks. She already knew what she was, she was claimed by the very lady who commanded everyone's attention. She didn't need to speak up, plus no one had even talked to her yet. Allowing both eyes to open she risked a glance over the crowd, wondering if some would walk away without giving her their loyalty. She wouldn't put it past some of them, it was hard to follow someone when you still longed for your old leader. By the sounds of it, no one even knew that she had vanished. She knew the tale, she knew the whole thing. Sibelle had told her after she claimed Ekko, but she remained quiet on the reason why. If she was asked to tell, she would. But for now, she didn't let a single word pass her ebon lips. Everyone else needed to state if they were coming or going, either way Ekko had no choice. She was bound to Sibelle now, pack or not.

{but you can't escape the second attack} Her name was called, and it was a familiar sound - Senka stirred, amethyst gaze scanning the area until it settled on . . . Sora. Her tail thumped at the earth, a conscious effort on Senka's part to greet her brother, and she leaned slightly into his touch. "Sora," She breathed a greeting as his gaze settled on the ground. Like Senka, Sora was cool and calm, despite the fact that they now seemed to have been abandoned by their mother. Still, Senka was sure that the russet female would explain what had happened to Cataleya. The woman could take care of herself, and Senka would have heard if there had been a battle. She would not have missed a wolf summoning her mother to the battlefield. Senka stood silently as the other began to speak, introducing herself as Sibelle and explaining that Cataleya was gone. Senka hesitated for a moment, glancing at Sora. Would he choose to stay? Senka wasn't sure what she ought to do - she had come back to Alacritia to find her mother, after all. Cataleya had been the only wolf that Senka felt much attachment to, and even that hadn't been much, considering how long she had been away from her mother, under the care of only Ignis. And yet, Senka didn't want to abandon Sora. If Cataleya had left, she would probably have taken Basanti, Senka figured, as she was the only one of Cataleya's children who could not take care of herself. Sora and Senka herself could all handle themselves - and Senka had proved this by returning in one piece. Turning towards Sora, Senka leaned closer to her brother, voice a soft whisper when she spoke, "I hope you will choose to stay with me." She murmured into his ear, before turning her gaze towards the russet Clandestine. "My name is Senka, and I held the rank of Princess. I suppose that I am of an age where I could only be considered for the rank of Juvenile." Though it smarted slightly, Senka knew that it would take time for wolves to take her seriously. She was only a yearling, and it would serve her well to take some time to learn the pack and its members and workings before she chose to set her sights any higher. The rank of Lieutenant was tempting, to say the least, and with Senka's training over the months with Ignis, it didn't seem unreasonable that she would be able to hold the rank when she was older. For now, however, it seemed that she would be nothing but a juvenile in the eyes of this Sibelle. Ah well. It would only be for a year, and then Senka would have gathered support and made connections within the pack. |
