Quote:Mirabelle Talos stood at the edge of the territory, head tilted. To pass... or not to pass. She could smell the sent markers - so so fresh, and very few old scents below the freshness. This territory was recently claimed. That rather surprised her, for everything she could see was so lush and full of life. A wolf's paradise.
Her mouth watered. It had been a while since she had eaten. Prey, for some darn reason, kept escaping from her paws like a slippery fish. She sighed. She knew the truth; she just wasn't that good at hunting. She never had been. Her strength was in fighting. She excelled. She could beat everything and everyone that challenged her. At least, she could before. Before. Maybe not now. She didn't know.
Shaking off thoughts - and the memories that rose unbidden to her mind from them - she stepped into the territory, over the scent markers and let out a howl, tipping her head back. She was curious of the pack that claimed this. There didn't seem to be many of them, and they seemed strong. And in need of more strength. Maybe she would luck out, and her assumptions would be right.
For once.

There had seemed to be so little calls for his attention, that Bass was starting to worry. To have a strong pack, they needed to grow in numbers. However, their land was so freshly claimed that he was not worried yet. At the moment he was focusing on meeting with all other packs, gathering alliances and spreading the news about Abaven. There was already three packs down, but he had yet to travel to the rest. He was unsure at what was holding him back, but there was a nagging feeling at the back of his mind. He had already met with the packs that would be most beneficial to both parties, that was most important. Just as he was about to go find one of his sisters, a howl rang out. Pale audits perked towards the direction, a smirk on his face. He needed to get there before Harmony, it was a little game the siblings played. Bass was not too far from the call, he had just been down at the lake. Breaking out into a sprint he raced towards the borders, seeing a fox coliurrd fae waiting there. No Harmony yet. Chucking, the Azat slowed his pace, trotting up to the stranger. "Hello there, you rang?" He asked, always the jester within him "I am Bass Destruction, Azat of these lands. Were you looking to join our ranks?" There was hope in his voice, she looked to be a strong fighter. Muscles coiled beneath her brown coat, ready for action. Bass was unsure about how much information this one had gathered, and if she would have questions for him. speech |

Mira's ears twitched as she saw the form trotting towards her only moments after she howled. True, a fast reply is good but... Only a couple minutes? She was impressed. However... When he started speaking, she nearly laughed. Bass Destruction. Interesting name. She clenched her jaws rp prevent a comment from slipping out. Sounding so hopeful, too, could lead him to be exploited. Oh well.
"My name is Mi-" she cut herself off as a slightly darker version of Bass tumbled into the the Azat, and she regarded this new femme with a certain degree of shock. Rude. And no greeting either. Ah, well.
"As I was saying. My name is Mirabelle Talos. And I may be interested in joining your pack. However, how do the tanks work? I assume you are the alpha - I've not a clue what am 'Azat' is so," she shrugged, "tell me of the ranks, and your laws. Then I will make my decision." Hopefully, he would explain the female as well. And hopefully there would be a position for her as a fighter.

He grinned at the stranger, his audits at full attention as she began to speak. She was soon interrupted by a barreling mass of his sister, who slammed right into his flank. A great big oof left the male as he winced, shoving his sister aside as he shook himself. Playfully he glared at her, reaching up a paw and attempting to swat her ear. "Harmony, be polite, we have a guest." He said, although he threw her a wink. He did indeed win this time. Chuckling softly he offered the stranger his full attention, letting her continue her speech. He nodded her head at her question, once again finding his seat upon the landscape.
"Yes, I am the alpha as these lands, referred to as Azat. This here is Harmony, a Vor, or what is commonly known as a healer in the second stage of training. Our ranks are a bit different here, we are a pack of mostly different leveled guards, or fighters. You would start off as a Mruni, or a level one guard. A Kruni if you are interested in being a healer, or a Pera if you wish to be a messenger. You work your way up through finishing your training, or sparing against a higher leveled guard or even myself to prove your rank. You may challenge before your training is complete, if you feel you already have the knowledge. Each wolf gets three chances to prove themselves through a spar before they are deducted a rank. If you are just a first level though, this will not matter." He stated, pausing to see if she had any questions at all on his ranking system.
"As for laws, these two are different than most packs. Our fighters may be let out by other packs, to guard or to help in a battle if that is desired. Once you reach the top rank of guard however, you may not be let out to packs unless you choose to do so yourself, it is entirely your own choice. While in other packs you must respect their laws as well, and are expected to listen to that alpha. While in other packs, the messengers will check on you. If you feel like you need to return before the alpha has told you so, the messenger will tell me and I shall come collect you. We are a neutral pack however, and no member of Abaven will start a war or invade a pack. If you pick a guard rank, you must show up for all the training, or you will be stripped of your rank and move down a tier. Even if you are a level one guard and do not show for training, you will become unranked until you prove yourself once more. Of course if you are hurt or carrying pups, that will not count. Any trespasser that is found on our lands as well may be openly attacked." Taking a deep breath after his speech, his ivory tail curled over his equally white paws. It always took some time to explain everything, but he didn't matter. Bass was quiet after that, letting Mirabelle mull everything over. He was ready and willing as always to answer any questions that she had.

ooc. That that that is just great Starry xD
Mira's nose twitched add she withheld a snort of amusement. It was quite obvious that Bass and the cream wolf were siblings, and not just because they were so similar on appearance. Their very actions betrayed that relation. Mira smiled as Harmony revealed her name. Beautiful name. "Nice to meet you," she replied, baring her teeth in a very wolfy grin. She bumped Harmony back, just as gently as the wolf had done to her. She rather liked Harmony already.
Blinking, Mira began to focus on what Bass was saying. Now wasn't the time to fool around. Her ears twitched at his words. Leveled guards... Ignoring the odd names, it was still a very strange concept to wrap her head around. Especially the guards being... Well, loaned out. She has never seem such a thing, not even heard of such a practice. Well, at least the laws made sense. Even the ones pertaining to the guards made sense. She nodded slowly. She would be a guard, of course. There was no other option available to her. Fighting was what she was good at. She would go through with the training though. Well, at least most of it. She would need to. What she was used to was killing, and gravely injuring. And she was certain that it would not be good if she accidentally killed or gravely injured a packmate while sparring.
" You have good laws, even if your system is a bit... Unique," she said quietly. "Very well. I will join you if you would have me. The preferred rank for me would be guard. As you correctly deduced, I am a fighter." Killer The word - the correction - came unbidden to her mind. Shaking it away, she looked back up. "However, if I am allowed to join, who will teach me? Your pack is small - I can smell it here on the borders. Only a handful of wolves make up this pack." A question she was genuinely interested in, and flat out eager to know. Her eats pricked forward, as far as they could in anticipation of the reply.

Bass couldn't help but laugh at his sister's antics. They were all quite goofy, but Mirabelle didn't seem to mind. After his speech, Harmony teased him about losing his voice and he aimed to swat her ear with his paw. He then focused all his attention on the newcomer, grinning when she said that she was open to joining Abaven. "Pleasure to have you among our ranks Mirabelle. For now you will be a Mruni, just until your skills grow." He had been right about seeing her as a fighter, which excited him. He was getting a lot better at picking out the right type of members for his pack.
When she asked about training and low numbers, he was not offended. It was a proper question to ask for someone who truly wanted to move up in the ranks, and it also impressed the young Azat. "We have an alliance with a pack called Glaciem, and their alpha would like for us and them to have a joined training session, or at least however many times we would like it." He nodded his head, happy that other packs were willing to help him get on his paws. It meant a lot to him, and he was forever thankful to Athena for that. He was actually thinking of tossing one up rather quickly. "And besides that, myself and Motif will do some training, both of us have had many spars." He was confident in his own training ways, but was glad that Glaciem had their back. They were a pack of strong fighters. In fact, Ebony may even be in on it too.
