It hadn't been too long ago that he'd spoken to them. That Shaye had offered to help by loaning him a couple of members from Abaven to help get things started. And after confirming with those he had recruited already, the day drew closer and closer for him. For them. For those who wanted to join a pack built from the ground up. A pack that was his. That would belong to them. A pack that would seek to right the wrongs committed against their own. First, he would let Shaye and Rhyme now before he went to find Actaea and Ignis. After all was said and done, they would head North. It only seemed fitting that the pack would be born in the North...Winter, the girl he loved had been his life at one point. And his pack would even be named after her. Of course, nobody else knew that...but it didn't matter, did it? It was a tribute for her. To honor her life. The one she didn't get to live with him. Feeling somber, he approached a clearing and uttered a low call for the alphas.
It was now or never.

That done, the drenched wolf exited the stream and shook out her coat. She knew the direction Acere had called from, and started out with a gentle loop. It warmed her muscles which had begun to chill beneath her damp coat.
She found the white male in no time, and stopped near him, offering him a warm smile. They had finally managed to settle their differences, and it sounded like it was just in time. “Is it time already?’ she asked him, eyes crinkling at the corners with a smile. She had made peace with him leaving, and truly wished him all the best. “Come to collect Ignis, Actaea, Solor and Vail?” she asked of him. Quite a few of his new members were residing in Abaven. She wondered how many there where outside of that number that would be joining him.

He more an amused grin as he approached the clearing within the thicket. He appeared on the other side of Acere, facing Shaye as she greeted the white warrior. Rhyme offered an encouraging grin and a deep nod of respect. Acere had long earned his place, and Rhyme would be lucky to call him a friend and equal.

His gaze turned to Rhyme when he approached, a smile tugging at his lips. He had spoken to the alpha Male as well about this, and the pair of them had given their blessings for what was to come. After some thought, however, he decided he'd take a different approach. "This may seem like a last minute thought...but in the event I can't find those who pledged to follow me, I may end up resorting to a different tactic." He was always the headstrong warrior, but he thought things through the best he could when he could. If he couldn't track down his potential followers, he figured he might as well challenge someone for leadership. He didn't know what his two friends thought about it, but whether they approved of it or not he was going to follow through with it anyway. Perhaps by taking that route...others he hadn't met might be drawn to the call and he'd have a better opportunity.
He mentioned having trouble finding members, and she wasn’t terribly surprised - in that she hadn’t heard him mention any other wolves outside of Ignis and Actaea. Even with her lending Vail and Solor, chances where it wasn’t quite enough to hold down a territory. Especially since Vail and Solor where only on a temporary bases. “What different tactic where you thinking?” she asked him, but she could already guess. Traditionally you formed your own following, chose a land, and started a pack - or, if you wanted to take a different path, you challenged for one that already existed.

The self named man took a couple of steps closer to Acere, his lips pulling back into a half grin as Shaye asked what the white warrior meant by his words. ”He’s going to challenge someone.” Rhyme wanted to think the best of Acere, he would never expect that his… friend would suddenly rise up and challenge for Abaven. The blue knight was ashamed that the thought was even entertained, but he still felt his gaze harden slightly as he looked to Acere for his answer. Though he still wore the good natured grin, ”Who’ve you got in mind, Acere?” His voice was light, hiding the thoughts that had been hastily shoved aside.

But no. Abaven was not the pack he sought to take over. "Who've you got in mind, Acere?" a hint of a serious but mischievous look entered his gaze, "It's safe to say it won't be Abaven." That should ease any possible thoughts about that, right? "I've done some traveling while trying to find some followers. And I've noticed a couple of packs have been rather...quiet. Stagnant, even. Celestial and Fyri have been rather quiet, and they might as well be non-existent at this point. However, since I'm more partial to the North...Ignatius of Fyri is who I intend to challenge." He let that sink in for a moment. While yes, Fyri and Abaven had intended on allying and doing something with that alliance, Ignatius hadn't gone further than that. "As far as I can tell, Fyri is a smaller pack. And I've not seen much nor heard much from them in some time. So perhaps this might be a blessing in disguise, I think." He planned to challenge soon. Perhaps in the next day or two.
