It has been a very long time since she has seen her dearest brother Solo, the boy who had sworn to be her protector after she had been abducted by her ivory paramour. At that time she was joyous to have her brothers protection, but after he had been married off to some unknown harlot, she has had mixed feelings. He did not come to her meeting after she had formed a pack for her siblings, and he has not bothered to seek her out at all since his betrothal. Was this woman more important than his blood? Didn't he know blood runs thicker than water? Well, if he wouldn't seek her out himself... she would track him down. It takes a lot of willpower to separate herself from Artemis, but she manages to do it with the comfort of Marco, her wolverine companion, at her side. The two of them are an impeccable force, and she knows that if trouble manages to find them, Artemis will always be her rescuer. Ebony appendages carry the woman far from the soulless forest, her senses trained on her brothers scent as it leads her toward the eastern region of Alacrita. As his scent grows stronger, so does the stench of territorial urine. Last she heard he was in a pack called Olympus, but this did not seem like Olympus... She can only wonder what has happened. As sh approaches the invisible border she comes to a halt, Marco coming to stand at her right side. Her skull tips back, and she releases a beautiful and harmonious summon for her dearest brother, Solo Sovari. Walk "Talk" Think

How long had he been here? How long had it been since he had seen his family, seen his sisters or mothers or anyone aside from Gaia or her family. He didn't really know, he didn't remember. He wasn't yet sure if that was a good or bad thing, he didn't really miss them, didn't really think about them much. With everything that had happened he rarely had time to think about them, his whole world revolving around Gaia and trying to make sure she was happy and comfortable in her home. Yes all their plans had come to a screeching halt when they had been forced to join Yfir but Solo didn't mind. It was kind of nice to be in a pack that wasn't all made up of Gaia's family. In all honesty he had felt kind of uncomfortable around her aunts and uncles and cousins. All of Olympus had been her family and though Solo had come to grow more comfortable with her siblings it had really only been since they had moved. And now he was able to get to know her other siblings! Though it had been a rather confusing for him to learn that Gaia had two mothers that lived apart and had split up their children. Parents didn?t do that? Did they?

He was without Gaia for the first time in what felt like forever and honestly it felt like he was missing a limb. He missed her scent, her voice, her constant presence in his life and though they would probably only be apart a few hours it felt weird? He had let her stay at the pack meeting a bit to reconnect with her other siblings and had slunk away to firefly lake. He had walked the banks of this lake a great many times, knew almost every crack and crevice of Ebony?s lands? He wanted out, wanted to keep good on all his promises that he had given Gaia when they had first met, he wanted to be her prince! Wanted to take her places to slay dragons and other adventures! But reality was a crushing thing when it came to dreams. So he would sit quietly at the edge of the lake, looking at the mostly iced over surface in quiet contemplation. How could he do everything?

Her howl would rock him like an earthquake and immediately eyes would snap wide though he would remain motionless. Could it be? Head would lift slowly and swivel, turning to look towards the sound. Fiamette? How long had it been? Everything crashed down around him all at once, her howl sounded so formal, like an acquaintance calling another they had met only once. Her voice did not carry a familiar tone but either way it would pull him from his paws and he would set off towards the sound. He would arrive promptly to find her standing at the boarder, a slow smile beginning to creep across his features only to be wiped away as soon as he saw the creature at her side. He would halt quite a distance away, wild eyes staring at the creature beside her. A wolverine? Those things were VICIOUS! ?Fia?? He would call out tentatively, eyes never leaving the creature. Nostrils would flare wide, taking in the thick musty scent as he tried to choose whether he should attack it or flee. ?Just back away from it slowly?? He would offer instead, waiting at his distance to see if she could get away herself or if he would have to intervene.

It does not take long for her brothers scent to grow stronger in the breeze, in fact, the carmine nymph is rather surprised that he is heeding her call so quickly. Didn't he have his little princess to take care of, or had he finally found a minute of time to himself? A delighted smirk curls the corners of her ebony lips as his larger, and beautifully colored, form comes into view. Good, he didn't bring his little harlot with him. She feels the impulse to meet him half way, but she refrains, as she remembers he is in pack territory, and she is on the borders. So she waits. He approaches her, and she can see a smile form across his lips- but it quickly fades. He says something, the tone of his voice seems concerned, and she becomes momentarily confused. Then he regards to her companion.. Ah, that makes sense. A light chortle vibrates within her chest, her eyes momentarily closing as she enjoys her little laugh. Volcanic orbs snap open to fall upon his mismatched gaze, her right brow furrowing upon her forehead in amusement. "Don't be afraid Solo, this is Marco, my little... puppet." Her gaze flashes toward the wolverine for a few seconds before raising to fall upon her brothers form. Marco looks up at his mistress before turning his ebony gaze toward the stranger, and he takes a few steps forward, disregarding the border line entirely. "Names Marco." He says to the boy, his neck extending as he sniffs in his direction. Fiamette chuckles again at her companions little greeting before speaking again. "So, brother, how are things with your..." Don't say harlot. "princess? I haven't seen a hair on your body since you left us." She pauses momentarily, the memory of his disregard to her summon swirling within her mind. "I called for you ya know. I made my own pack, for you, for our family. Your princess could have come with you- but you never came." Her tone begins to grow bitter, but how could it not? If her brother would have gained a crown, she would have heeded his call. Guess this was a one way road. "Speech"

She would regard him from the distance, eyeing him and watching the struggle he felt as he looked at the beast beside her. She would speak a moment later and introduce the creature beside her as her puppet. Uh. What? He would look at her a moment, lower jaw dropping a touch in disbelief before looking to the creature. Then it hit him, they were in fact standing together and not stalking each other or fighting anything. Okay this was really weird. But he would move forward, motions slow and cautious as he studied the creature while moving. He would freeze again when the beast stepped forward, crossing the boarder and sniffing at him as he offered a greeting. It spoke? "Hey. Solo." He would offer a breathless greeting, not really sure what protocol was here so he would nod and carry on forward. He would close the distance between them and try to shift his focus from the wolverine to his sister. He would reach forward to offer her a greeting, attempting to touch nose to cheek.

She would ask him how things were and he couldn't help but notice the pause. But he would brush it off languidly, shoulders lifting in a slight non committal answer as he tried to figure out what to say. "I'm really happy with her Fia..." It wasn't meant to be a slap in the face to her or his family but as soon as the words came out he would regret them. Was he saying he hadn't been happy with his family? No of course not, he loved his family but he had been so caught up here he had almost forgotten about them. She would carry on, speaking about her calling for him and he would grow slightly. He had not heard of anything... "Sorry Fia but... I can't really leave..." His paws shuffled slightly as he looked at his paws and sighed, drawing in a deep breath as he chose his words carefully. "Things with Gaia have been great but everyone... Everything else kinda sucks. Gaia's mom left her pack after she gave birth because she was hurt and left it to Gaia's blind aunt and her mate. I kinda liked them at first but now I don't know. A lady came for the pack, she fought Gaia's uncle and he fought but then he submitted!" The word was spat out as if it held no meaning in the boys vocabulary. He was angry, rage growing in his voice as lips curled at the memory.

"Katja claimed all of Virgil's kids. Gaia's aunt and uncle are awful! They said things like Gaia should have been killed at birth because she's blind! I hate them Fia!" Woah. Where had that come from? His voice had been raising in tempo and volume steadily but he cut it off suddenly, eyes widening as he studied Fia for a moment before clearing his throat and trying to regain his composure. "Katja made us stay but honestly. I kinda liked her, she taught us to fight and hunt. She gave Virgil's kids the option to come here and stay with their siblings as long as we promised not to run away. So here we are... And what of your pack? How did you claim it? Did you get hurt?" He had so many questions for her but he would leave it at that, not wanting to overload her too much. He noticed his hackles had started to bristle with anger so the large boy would focus on allowing them to relax once more and sit in a neutral position.

Her brother greets her companion with a quiet hello, and the carmine beauty shifts her gaze toward Marco to momentarily appreciate his presence. He was there to assist her in defeating all foes, and he looked pretty intimidating standing beside the red devil. Solo moves forward to close the distance between them, his eyes focusing on her again as he tries not to stare at Marco. A soft smile creeps across her impassive features as Solo gently touches his nose to her cheek, and she attempts to lightly kiss him on his cheek with a quick swipe of her toungue. Although they have been separated for a few seasons, she still loves her younger brother dearly- even though he had ignored her invitation.  The goddess is taken back into reality when her brother responds to her question about his... princess.. and she stares at his with wide eyes. She does not understand how he could care for someone that he had been forced to pair with, but then again, she loved Artemis, and they were a wacky pair themselves. "As long as you are happy Solo, I am happy... although my approval will be hard to grant. I didn't want you to leave in the first place. " She scoffs lightly, she remembers the day he was taken away from their family to be sent to live in some far away place. She had gotten in a fight with Hestia that day. It is weird how fast time passes, it seems like only yesterday he was being paired up with this princess.  "Sorry Fia but... I can't really leave..." The serpents eyes glaze over with devious intent as her dear brother says this, the fur along her nape and spine starting to stick straight up. What was he saying? Was someone holding him prisoner? Instead of asking him questions she remains silent and listens to his entire story, rage festering beneath her hardened gaze. So he had gone through some hell because of this girl? Pitiful. When he mentions his princesses abnormality, she can't help but quirk her right brow in surprise. Blind? The girl he is going to marry is BLIND!? What a disgrace! And although she desperately wants to rip him a new asshole for agreeing to marry such a burden to his life, she refrains. Now is not the time to judge her brother because of his decision, it is time to get him out of that hell hole.  "Solo, if you do not wish to stay with this woman, or your... lady's family, I can give you refuge. If a fight is needed to win your freedom than so be it. I am.. allys (dont say lovers!) with a very powerful woman, Solo. I have not seen her lose a single fight, no matter how strong or large her foe is. She is a force to be reckoned with..." Solo probably remembers Artemis since she had stolen Fia, but then again he had been gone for so long it might have slipped from his memory. "And as for Apollyon... I gained it through this woman I speak of. She has a lot of faith in me, and I have put all my faith into her. She gave me her crown and let me rule with an iron paw!" A single ebony dipped paw lifts from the earth and slams down upon a perfect leaf beside her leg as she says this. She was one hell of a ruler, she had just started to build her pack into an empire when the illness struck. "But... nature had other plans for me. I became very ill, and my members... they all vanished. When I returned after weeks of solitary confinement there was nothing left of Apollyon. Not even Arisu had stuck around to wait for my return..." Volcanic orbs trail toward the mutilated leaf at her paws, anger seething from her pores, her eyebrows narrowing as she glares at the pieces.  "I will get it back though Solo. We will have a home again." Her eyes trail upward to fall upon her brothers mismatched gaze as she says this, determination present within her tone. No matter what it would take she would find her family a home again. "Speech"
