You Better Be Good To Me

Aislyn |
The ivory temptress was getting bigger and bigger by the minute. Pregnancy was by far her least favorite thing to deal with, but she would only have to deal with it a few weeks longer. Her due date was lingering just around the corner, then she would be done with this horrid thing once she had given birth. She hated being overweight, emotional, and very irritated all the time. If Collision hadn't asked her to start a pack meeting for him she wouldn't even be here. She would be in her den, sleeping the days away until her due date. But, because she was the Beta, she had to put her own matters aside, and do what's best for the pack. She slithered toward the heart of the pack, her plump belly making her body sway from side to side. Even walking was a feat she hated to deal with. Once she had gotten to her destination she took her place where Collision usually sat, lifted her muzzle to the heavens, and sang for all of Valhalla to hear. All members were expected to attend, and if some chose not to, they would face dire consequences. What Collision wanted this meeting for she did not know, but she assumed it was important. She dipped her head back down to its usual height and began waiting for everyone to arrive. Deadline is April 16. All members of Valhalla must attend. |

Walking upon the pack's land Ookami soon found herself coming upon a pack meeting. Her tail swayed gently as she came closer to Aislyn, the pack's Beta. Her green eyes looked over the fea, she was getting bigger with pregnancy, and still looking good. Ookami was confused as to why the fea was calling a meeting instead of resting in the den. What ever the reasons were she had no say in it. "Hello Ma'm, you're looking well" She spoke as she took a seat waiting for the meeting to begin. Not many were here yet, but Ookami knew that in time this place will be filled with the pack members. Her eyes scanned the land waiting for Thane's appearance to the pack meeting.

The brute had heard the call of the beta as he was nearing the center of the lands. Only when the call had reached his white lined ears did he hurry up or keep a faster pace. Thane hoped he would not be late for this meeting; it would be unjust for him to do so. Aqua blue eyes averted to the sky as he walked. Cyril flew gliding calmly above him, a smile cracked at the brute's lips.
With a flick of his tail Thane began to run as fast as he could through the forest. The eagle above him gave a smirk as he then followed his master. Eventually the two ran or flew parallel to each other. The shadow of the bird covered Thane as if it were a dark cloak cast upon the wolf. The mighty and majestic bird had the Sun's rays hit his amber feathers as it flew. Golden eyes glinted with aqua as both focused on ahead.
"Careful you don't run into a tree Master Thane." the bird called down to his master.
"That was one time Cyril, and the ice was rather slippery. Was it not the first time my father Caligar showed me to the ice?"
The bird only gave a grunt before he spoke in reply.
"I suppose so....although I myself am a brilliant flyer and always have been."
Thane laughed as he heard the reply.
"You mustn't tell lies Cyril, they are not for the honest souls. But yet, what about when you flew into a tree, a branch, and one time a thorn bush. And who was there to care for you my dear friend?"
"You were Master Thane, it not for you should I even be alive this very day? And you even shed a tear as I lay in that bush covered in thorns, but why?"
"I was young and thought that my dear friend would not live. What would I have done if I would have to lose my best friend and companion? You are like a brother to me Cyril and I will have you as nothing less." he finished as he slowed to a complete walk.
Aqua blue eyes set upon the scene and the brute was surprised to see only two wolves. Aislyn and Ookami were the only ones here so far, besides himself and Cyril. The bird then settled on his master's shoulder once more. The brute made his way to Ookami and nuzzled her neck as he sat down beside her. So Thane sat patiently and attentively in wait for the others.

Erani |
Her head lifted from the lazy nap she?d been enjoying next to Nova. Pack meeting? Called by Aislyn? Where, in Luna?s name, was Collision? She nosed into Nova?s ear. ?Best see what that?s about. Ooh, the children are up.? The last statement announced the activity sparking up inside her belly. All five were moving this time. She hoisted herself to her paws and headed out of the alcove, eyes glancing over the stock pile that grew daily from her, Preston, and Rayne?s frequent gatherings. Everything was in order. She made her way out of the den, satisfied, and down the ravine, grabbing a drink from the pool, before she left. Then through the winding and twisting pathways toward the meeting place. Her haunches sank to the ground as she took a place toward the front, leaving a space for Nova. Deep blues rose to look for Collision, and he was not there. Soleil hadn?t arrived yet. However, this time, Erani knew she would arrive. She had fought off that illness, won her battle. She would live. Erani settled back and waited for the meeting to begin, as she enjoyed the lively action the litter was taking up inside her womb. |

A summoning howl reached ivory audits, causing the dame to lift her head from her meal. Skull tilted to the side. It was an unfamiliar sound, but came from the Beta. With curiosity growing, paws carried her to the source, where other wolves had already began to gather. She dipped her head in greeting before taking her seat amongst the others, waiting to see why they had all been called. "speech" thought |

The call echoed through the territory, drawing the creeping wolf's ears upward and to peak upon her head. For a second, she ignored it, focused intently upon the little creature ahead of her that sat unsuspecting a few feet from its burrow. If she timed it just right, if her angle was just right... But no, she could not simply ignore the call of the Beta wolf for the pack to meet in favor or catching a small meal for the pack's stores. Ashtoreth sighed loud enough for the rabbit to hear, and watched as its large ears twitched and it disappeared with a few hops into its home, safe and sound and able to live another day before turning and setting off quickly in answer of the call.
Though it seemed she did not travel quite fast enough. A nice sized gathering was already milling around Aislyn where she sat, positioned in the seat Collision would have taken had he called the gathering himself. Which begged the question: where was he? But willing to wait and let the group be addressed as a whole - for all she knew, it could have been part of the announcement - she slipped into midst and glanced around at familiar and unfamiliar faces alike. Her gold and purple eyes spotted the Lead Hunter and his eagle, seated casually beside another dark colored wolf with a strange, star-shaped mark. Toward the front, she spotted some of the Adravendi family, including Chrysanthe and Leon. She smiled in their direction, unsure if either would see, her gaze lingering just a little longer on Leon, before she took a seat nearby where they sat, not wanting to intrude on the familial group. Letting her attention shift back to Aislyn expectantly, she quietly awaited the outcome of their meeting.

He plodded toward the meeting ground, weak, hungry, broken. They had tortured him just by making him return to this wretched place and yet they still saw the need to make him suffer further. His muscle and trim was beginning to fade, his ribs showed through his now brittle fur, but most of all was the look of sheer and utter hatred that never left his features. His fur stood on end, his fangs constantly bared through a raised lip and his tail never lower than the rest of his body. They sought to take everything from him, every bit of joy he had ever felt, and so far they had succeeded. Every night, he swore he would watch Valhalla burn. But his fantasies were almost always surrounding his half sisters. Watching them scream and beg him for mercy, have them writhe under his paws and beg to be spared. He would be merciful, he would rip out their throats instead of their stomachs. They were the only thoughts that kept him sane, the only thoughts that made it seem like he would see the next day. That...And the thought of his mate...Would that she could see him now, she would fall onto her underside and weep for him, and only speak of how brave he had been all this time.
The slave sat at the edge, far away from the others. He refused to be one of them. Refused to fall for the false pretense those toad lickers called paradise on earth. There was only one paradise, only one place where strength and not blood was awarded, where titles were earned, not given. Where they didn't need to fight old men to stroke their egos. Tortuga. The true paradise.

Preston had grown fat and healthy in Valhalla, anyone that had seen him as a pup would be surprised to see him now. Fully grown. A man. An adult. He settled beside Erani, his eyes falling on the rather ghastly wolf that had arrived just before him. It took a while to realize, but eventually it dawned on him, it was his brother, Neo! He attempted to step toward him, but the hatred in his eyes terrified him, made his stomach twist into knots. He felt unclean just from staring at him. He averted his gaze and turned his attention toward Collision, waiting to be given orders.
Speech!

He would take a moment after allowing Luce and Neo to go to their respectable destinations and the great Lord would take his time allowing the fire in his heart to calm. He would finally exhale slowly as Aislyn's summons echoed through the air. Fantastic, she had adhered to his request. His xanthous gaze would roll over the grasses and beneath the hard sun he would move forth towards the front of the crowd and his head would nod gently to Aislyn. Flawless. Thanks resonated in his eyes and a smile warmed his features before he turned back to Valhalla. The grave information would be given lastly.
Everyone who had not shown their faces. They were no longer a part of Valhalla. "Valhalla. Our Alliance with Glaciem is retained. We will remain beside them, as my brother by blood has recieved the throne, and his judgement is one that I find capable, and we have also forged an alliance with Seracia," His head would turn until he found Chrysanthe and he would slowly breathe out, "This alliance did not come without a cost. Chrysanthe! She will be married to the Seracian heir, Maverick," He didn't know how the beta would take the news, but hopefully she could handle it with grace, knowing that she would be securing her home.
He would find himself pondering what exactly to say next, and decided on something more simply said, "The rank system is also being re-done. We no longer focus upon what you can do, but what you've offered Valhalla in terms of yourself. You can challenge to usurp ranks, or you can climb by helping the pack, myself, those who need it, etcetera," Final bit of business was nearing him, "What I am about to tell you, Valhallans, is I want warriors to each find a sparring partner, I will pop in and decide a winner at the end of the fight and various other observations. Healers be on ready. Why though? Tortuga and Valhalla are official enemies," Eyes would turn upon Neo and a deep glare would become his visage, "Valhalla has also been betrayed. Neo has decided to tell Tortuga all about us. He is our first slave, and I pray the only one we will need. He has been stripped of rights, and he has been stripped of the Adravendi surname. His punishment will be discussed between myself and the betas," Gracious did he feel dirty.
"Hunters, I want a full out hunt and as much caught as possible. Anyone else who wishes to assist, please do," Ah yes, he had one more thing to mention. Damn his mind was sporadic, "Due to Soleil's weakness I'm sure you have all noticed a decline in her presence. She will be placed in the ranks again and Epiphron you will become the alpha at my side. Preston, you will rise into the position of Centurion, and I will be watching your healing skills,"
