Thick, heavy musculature rippled as the massive dame manuevered the dense territory. Tortuga had grown, no longer a few misbegotten minions, but a place f thriving life and power. Tortuga would never be a pack to willingly engage in war but Antiva would be willing to bet that Tortuga would fair just fine. Which brought her to this point. Tikaani was a year now, and while Antiva had taught her the basics, how to hunt rabbits, fish, even a few larger prey that Antiva had assisted her with, but now that she was fully grown, it was time to train her to fight and kill.

Antiva would be brutal, she would not give her daughter quarter during these sessions. She couldn't, not if she wanted Tikaani to be successful. This world was nasty and cruel and Tikaani needed to know how to survive in it. Misty grey orbs found a small clearing, devoid of trees and rabbit holes. This would do quite nicely.

Antiva sucked in a large breath, let her jaws splay wide and bellowed out a roar of Tikaani's name. Antiva never had howled and she sure as hell wasn't gonna start today.

Tikaani

Hearing the call of her mother Tikaani took off in a sprint. She knew better than to keep her mother waiting for her. Her muscle rippled under her pelt as her legs carried her across the land of Tortuga and to the land that her mother waited for her. Soon the image of her mother filled her eyes, Tikaani knew that this was training day. She walked up to her mother. Tikaani's face read i am ready for the training. She was indeed ready and this was going to be fun. Hard training, but fun never less. "Hello mother, what are we going to do today?"She asked as she stood there waiting for her mother to respond to her question. She could not help but think about Terror, maybe this training would help her control the evil that dwelled with in her. Oh how she hoped it would help with that issue, she is ready for this and will do anything to help ease her pain of constant clawing at her head
