(OoC: This thread is open to all allies or potential allies, rogue, creature and pack. So wolves like those living outside the borders, creatures, like Obsidian, Rikku, Laila, and so on, or rogues, like Conall, Libra, and such; basically, anyone who has been welcomed by Valhalla, or Erani likes. ;) Be a good way for Valhalla to meet their outside friends and get to know each other, and a way to make buddies to help during sieges, and for allies to get some info.)
Erani Adravendi |
Erani padded lightly into Valhallan lands, shaking out her snowy fur as the feeling of home settled in. Her trip with Jinxx to the rift in Alacritia that the earthquake had opened had been eventful to say the least. They had run across the Queen of Glaciem, Sendoa Armada, injured by a splash of molten stone from a lava river underground. Erani was pleased with the outcome of that encounter, the first time in a while she could say she was pleased about something to do with Glaciem. A peace Treaty, two years to gain strength in Valhalla, and train an heir to take her place. She had decided that Surreal would take her place. Surreal loved Valhalla with all her heart, and would do her best to keep Erani?s values strong after Erani was no longer of the living realm. The return of Soren and Kismet Adravendi had been secured as well as a peace treaty, and the Glaciem Queen safely returned home. Erani knew exactly whom she would send to collect them. Yes, Erani had a great deal to tell her pack, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. There were ideas spinning through her head, of ranks and such, and there was the Trial and Execution of Twigs rapist to plan. Twig was well enough to play her part, however much the female didn?t wish to see the male again. Erani turned her head, peering over her shoulder for Jinxx as she headed toward the gathering stone. ?Quite the trip, mm?? Her tones were warm, before she leapt to settle on the large flat boulder, deep blue pools sweeping the currently deserted plains; deserted save for herself and Jinxx. How would her pack take the new she had to tell them? She would have to see. There were returned members; Meili and Gael, and Vahva, though her absence had been brief. New members; Baldur, Thor, Emer, and her newborn children, and perhaps more. So much to tell her great family? Her head tilted back, voice rising over the morning lit territory as the sun broke over the horizon, shedding its warm rays across the land. She called to all of those who made up Valhalla, and to those who were welcome to visit as they pleased, and to the allied creatures; Laila, Obsidian, and Obsidian?s adopted daughter, Rikku. She would brief them all with her news, and perhaps they would have news of their own to announce? Her song ended, and her muzzle lowered, head raised high to greet the morning light. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think |

It was a bit chilly in the early autumn morning, but that wasn't what had woken him from his slumber. The call of the queen, Erani had pulled the lean man from his dozes, and he pushed himself to his paws, from underneath the oak tree he had fallen asleep under and heeded to her call. The grass near him was browning, in the fall, something that he noted and he wondered if even the western lands would be cursed with snow. He picked up into a trot, feeling his muscles groan protest. He didn't limber up as quickly as he once had- age had that effect on people. As he moved towards the queen's call he contemplated his position in Valhalla, he really needed to get more involved. He thought about finding someone to spar with, to brush up on his fighting techniques and perhaps he's find a way to brush up on his hunting abilities.
He drew to the source of the sound- noting the presence of two wolves. One he didn't know and of course Erani, who he obviously knew. He let out a warm greeting, "'Morning Queen Erani." Before he sat down, waiting to see why she had called so early and what was going on.
first reply... wut?

Cormalin |
The sun was just beginning to rise as Cormalin stepped over the Valhallan borders, returning from his little trip to the willows. He?d met a wolf new to Alacritia?s lands. A Celestion, from a land far beyond the sea, a land torn apart by the eruption of a Volcano, rather like Old Alatritis had been. The girl had been torn away from her family in a storm during the long swim from an Island beyond those known to Alacritia, and he could understand the feeling of being separated from one?s family. He?d left an invitation to seek shelter on Valhalla?s borders, then departed after gathering some willow bark for Erani. Speaking of his sister? Her call echoed across the land, and his ears perked. Quickly, he headed to her den, set the willow bark on her sorting place, then headed toward the meeting. He was late by a few minutes, and nodded to each new face he saw, before going to his son, Cael, nose pressing into the male?s shoulder. ?Cael. It makes my heart well to see you home again.? He laid a lick upon his youngest son?s brow, then padded toward Erani, hopping his front paws up on the boulder to nuzzle his sister. ?I?ve left you a present in the den.? Full tail waved behind him with the simple pleasure of contact with his sister, before he dropped back to the ground and selected a spot nearby, mismatched gold and blue gaze sweeping the wolves around him. |

Surreal Adravendi |
Surreal was excited. Falk would be back soon, she just knew it. Her tail wagged incessantly behind her, and she fidgeted constantly during her patrol with Alsander. Alsander, too, seemed distracted, but he was still more focused on the duty than Surreal could bring herself to be. However, her mother?s song, calling the pack to a meeting was enough to grab her focus and settle the butterflies in her belly. Her mother and Jinxx had set out two days ago to examine the damage the earthquake had done. Her butterflies died at the memory of the shaking, roaring earth, and for once, her tail stopped wagging. Alpine and Erion had reported caves, and her mother had felt the need to examine the new underground passages, to make sure none made an easy entrance to Valhalla. Had she found any? Surreal and Alsander hurriedly finished the patrol, both wolves heading off at a lope toward the gathering. Several wolves had arrived by the time they got there. Well hello? Azalea was back! Surreal gave the dark headed female a grin, though she noted the new thinness. Surreal leapt up onto the boulder, taking a seat beside her mother on the Primary Beta side, tail beginning to sweep the stone behind her. Leaning in toward her mother, she whispered, ?I have someone I want you to meet, Mother.? She hoped Erani would approve of Falk, despite his being an Armada. However, she had adopted Taurig Armada, so Surreal doubted her mother would be too against it? She would just have to wait and see. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
Surreal's family is allowed to crash any thread she is in, regardless of it being private or not.

Alsander |
Surreal just could not seem to focus today, Alsander noted as they made their way along the borders of Valhalla, nearing the completion of their morning patrol. Her tail wagged non-stop, and she fidgeted like a puppy around sleep time. Granted, he had his own distractions? Io. The woman?s face clung to his memory like water to fur. Beautiful, with that smile of hers. Her gentle voice? Erani?s voice sang through the land, jerking him from his reverie. His ears perked as Surreal turned, and he noted that her tail had halted its wagging. He, like everyone in his family, knew that Erani had headed out of the territory to see the damages, Jinxx in tow. What had she found? He and Surreal completed their patrol, and hurried toward Erani?s song, arriving several minutes late. Surreal departed to sit in her place with Erani as the lead Beta, and Alsander padded over to Cael, butting his smaller brother in the shoulder with a friendly woof, tail wagging slowly. ?Brother. About time you showed your grey-starred face.? There was no anger in his Irish brogue laden voice, only brotherly affection. He cast his brother a grin, then padded to take up his place as Digamma Secondary, to the right of Erani, on the ground in front of the Boulder. Caerul would be on his right when his older brother arrived. His mismatched green and gold eyes swept the gathered faces, lighting on Azalea with a bit of surprise. He?d wondered if the female would ever come back, and save Sarak from a lifetime of near silence. Well, it looked like Sarak would be much happier now. There were a couple new faces that he hadn?t yet learned the names of. He knew Twig from Erani?s talking about her? There was Meili. His eyes landed on Alpine, a brow rising as he noted the unease in the male?s eyes. The guilt. Mismatched gaze narrowed speculatively. He had been aware that Alpine was courting his cousin, Lyric. Erani had informed them all the night it had begun. However, he was also aware that lately, Alpine hadn?t been spending much time with his intended. Instead, his scent was heavy around Twig and Jinxx?s den, and hardly there around Lyrics. He locked gazes with Alpine, his hardening emerald and gold gaze telling a very clear story. The Digamma Secondary would be wanting to talk to Alpine personally, and get to the bottom of this. |

Sarak |
Sarak moved with much more vitality as he carried the two dead hares in his jaws, both by the ears. His mate, and thus his lust for life, had returned. Now all he needed was for her children, their children, to return home to them, and his life was perfect. Lean frame headed toward Emer?s den, his plan being to leave one of the hares there for the nursing mother, but Erani?s call had caused an instant turn to his path. Azalea had already taken off, and he followed her scent over the smell of the dead hares toward Erani?s voice. However? A rustle in the thicket to his left froze his movement, and he dropped the hares, dropping into a hunter?s crouch. A plump rabbit hopped lazily from the thicket, full from foraging and packing its body with winter insulation. Sarak was on it in a flash. The chase hardly lasted more than five bounds, and the shriek of the rabbit was ended by the swift snap of his jaws around its neck. It twitched a few times, then hung still in his jaws. He shook himself, then gathered the other two hares, and continued on his way to the meeting. As he arrived, he noted that he was a few minutes late, or right on time, and everyone else had been early. He noted Emer, and approached her first, dropping the fresh rabbit at her paws with a nod, then went to Erani, setting a hare at her paws, before he sought out Azalea, and leaned into his mate, setting his last hare at her paws. ?The best for last.? He murmured into her ear, nose pressing there in the way he knew she liked, For the moment, he had eyes only for Azalea. Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Hear" ---- Think |

Obsidian |
Obsidian chewed thoughtfully, well aware of the effects the herbs were making on her body. Her maternal instincts were raging, and her udder felt heavy, almost sloshy. Erani had checked her out, and confirmed that she was indeed now lactating. Now she could fully provide what Rikku needed to grow into a strong, healthy mare. Now. Next on her agenda was to seek out Ryuk. Shouldn?t be too hard. The next part of her plans was to introduce the stallion to Rikku. And convince him to be a father figure. Eventually, come spring, Obsidian intended to use her heat cycle for once. Until now, her cycles had been ignored, since there were no stallions to ease the heat with, or to conceive a foal. One eye lifted from the grass at her nose, finding Rikku. Her tail swished, beating away a stubborn fly that had insisted on staying around for autumn. It was then that Erani?s call rolled over the territory. A summons to all. Valhallans, and allies of Valhalla. Her name was on the list, so, her head lifted, and she uttered a nicker to Rikku as she started off at an easy trot. Rikku?s legs were sturdy enough to keep up with the mare?s long stride, so she wasn?t worried about her falling behind. The filly would more likely be glued to her hip than lag behind. Obsidian did worry that there could be new wolves who didn?t know the rule about not attacking the horse, but if they tried, Erani, and indeed, Erani?s family, would set the wolf straight. Possibly painfully so. So as Obsidian arrived, her head raised high, neck arching gracefully, her feet picking up a bit higher, before she slowed to a walk, eyes perusing the faces there. Oh! Azalea was home. Sarak was in the act of dropping a dead rabbit at her paws, the wolf obviously much happier. Meili was home as well? Her eyes found Odette, and she meandered over to the young wolf, head lowering to give Odette a gentle nudge with her nose. Odette would help keep Rikku still long enough for the meeting to commence, Obsidian hoped. |
