Mariposa padded over to the river called Rio Grande, new scents flowing into the beautiful black pelted female. Her bodacious, illuminating orange eyes shone against the river, reflecting the blue transparent water. She sat down at the borders indicated by scented territories, looking around at the pack's land. It was surely beautiful, and a Queen as beautiful as herself would surely flourish in a land made for her.

The Black Butterfly huffed a sigh and rolled her eyes in annoyance. How long could they possibly take? Did they not know that The Queen Of Darkness was sitting right at their borders; a huge honor, a huge honor. Mari shook her head and dug her claws into the earth, displeased. These wolves of Elysium were obviously very oblivious to such events such as the one taking place at their borders at the very moment.

She had just finished a hunt not long ago, taking her well needed fill before dragging the carcass further into the territory for any of her pack mates to finish off. She gave herself a shake, pelt shifting along her large form, tail would give a flick, tongue licking off the last of the blood from her jaws before moving on. The girl would move at a steady pace through the soulless forest, mismatched eyes running over the changing terrain, what was once green trees were now turning into the colors of the sunset, becoming brittle and scratching harshly against each other in the wind. Upon reaching the newly claimed land, the Rio Grande. Narfi would pause a few feet from the water's edge, lifting a paw to readjust the skull sitting atop her head so that it was level once again. Next she would shift the pack on her back, lowering her front half to the ground and giving a little wiggle so it would slide forward and not choke her as much. While she was doing this the girl would notice something dark nearby, the wind bringing the scent of a rogue into her nose. Head slowly lifted and turned, her gaze canning over the river's edge for a few moments before falling upon a dark form sitting near one of the pack borders. A brow raised as she watched the rogue, wondering why they were just sitting there. Surely if it was somebody here to meet the Monarch or to join they would have called to let Cataleya know of their presence near the border, not sit there like a fool. With a smirk she would move forward, holding her head high, no emotion showing on her face and body neutral. The distance between the two wolves would grow smaller, and Narfi would come to a stop just six feet in front of her, stopping and sitting back on her haunches. Tail curled around her form, body relaxed yet muscle twitching every couple of seconds, showing she was ready to strike or move whenever the moment called for it. Grey and green gaze would simply observe the she-wolf, waiting to see what she would do. Had she come to join or speak to the Monarch, she would have called instead of sit here and think the wolves here had telepathic abilities to know she was here. "normal. talk. think. you."

With her growing numbers the Queen had expanded her territory, stretching it into the Rio Grande. She had lightly marked the borders, but hadn't done any real exploring of the place until today. Fall had taken its hold and brought cooler temperatures. Paws kissed the earth as she made her way across the border, clearly claiming as her own. Her crown would lift as a rogue scent passed her nostrils. Eyes would narrow, they had not called her, nor where they in the correct place. Lips curled with mild irritation as she approached. The scent of a pack member would fill her nose next and a small smile would tug at her lips. Narfi. It seemed the girl would greet the stranger first. The Monarch would slip into view, weaving her way into the gathering. "It is common courtesy to announce your presence." Cold words would snap towards the woman, eyes sending a piercing gaze her way. She left out the part that she should be seeking acceptance in the Soulless Forest, the main headquarters of Elysium, but she didn't expect everyone to know what she wanted, though they would learn. "I presume that you linger at my borders because you want to join my ranks." A brow would lift as she looked down at the woman. As usual, the silver temptress was taller, larger than her adversary. Sharp coral pools watched the woman's every move. The stranger held herself with arrogance, a trait that would get her put in her place fast around her. Talk like this

Mariposa bowed respectfully at the females from Elysium, agreeing in her mind that they were both beautiful. They must have been some of Elysium'd higher ranks, Mariposa could tell by the way they smelled and how beautiful they were. Mariposa nodded at they grey one with the purple eyes. They were very beautiful and quite striking. Such as her own. "Yes miss, I would love to join your wonderful pack Elysium." The Queen Of Darkness knew her own limits, especially when around high ranks around one as herself. Mariposa glanced at the other fae and smiled softly. The Black Butterfly got lost in her own thoughts and began wondering what malevolent things these wolves might have done to get into Elysium. OOC: Sorry if it's confusing; school website keeps fucking up and shit like logging me out.

It didn't take long before a scent would slip into her nose, followed by the sound of pawsteps moving in. Narfi didn't have to turn around to see who it was, the scent was that of her Monarch, Cataleya. She would glance over when she spoke, tone cold as she eyed the woman before them. She looked back to the rogue, eyes narrowed, wondering how she would react to the two. To her surprise however the rogue was respectful, bowing to both of them before confirming that she was here, looking to join their wonderful pack. Narfi couldn't help but chuckle at that, very amusing. Elysium had outcasts making up their population, darker aligned people and this girl here seemed like she was from some stuck up noble family, unaware of the dangers around her. Wonderful was something you would call a good aligned pack, flowers and rainbows, babies everywhere and everyone loving each other. Elysium was very different. But perhaps she was judging too suddenly on the rogue. Clearing her throat, Narfi would give a dip of her head to her Monarch before turning to the rogue and speaking in low, harsh tones. "Do you even know what Eysium is about, what the wolves within these lands are like?" She questioned with a raised brow, eyes remaining narrowed. For a brief moment she would look to Cataleya, wondering what she thought of this woman. If she was a goody goody, she wouldn't last here unless she somehow got the rough souls around here to not harm or mess with her. "normal. talk. think. you." Awesome image by Canttina <3

She mentally laughed her ass off. Where they serious? For what other reasons would The Queen Of Darkness be lurking at the borders of Elysium? She slightly pushed the thought away and turned her attention to the wolves. The Queen Of Darkness sent a shuddering chuckle from the back of the throat. "Of course I do. I don't think another pack would be worthy of my liking." Mariposa held her head up high and presented herself at them. "I doubt I'm the sickest mind there, for you are all insanely beautiful," She said with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face. "I am honored to be surrounded by such wonderful wolf beings as yourself." Of course Mari had a different definition of wonderful than most others in her sick, malevolent mind as herself. She smiled at the wolves, happy to be in their wonderful, malevolent presence.

As soon as the woman spoke, the Monarch took a disliking to her. Wonderful? It was not a word she would have chosen to describe Elysium. From the corner of her eye she saw Narfi dip her head before speaking. The silver temptress would watch the woman closely as a chuckle rolled off her tongue. Eyes would narrowed, irritation flared dangerously in her chest. Lips threatened to curl back, but she forced it down. "Enough! If you really want to join then you will prove your worth. Narfi." Coral pools would shift to the girl, nodding towards the woman. She was certain that Narfi would understand. This stranger would have to fight her way into the pack. She had watched Narfi spar with her daughter, and knew the girl had been practicing, she was confident in her abilities. The Monarch would step away from the pair, giving them room if the woman so chose to battle, if not, then she would be chased off, or force claimed, the temptress was still indecisive on the matter. Talk like this

Mariposa quickly bowed her head. "I'm sorry miss, I have changed my mind about joining Elysium." Mariposa took one last bow. "Thank you for your time," she said, addressing both of them. "Good bye now," Mariposa turned and ran, ran out of the territory, out of the region, out of the wolf's sights. She had never been a fighter, more of just a bitch who ruled her own little world. Mariposa continued running until she was out of Rio Grande, the scents of Rio Grande leaving her nose as she left the land. That was surely an adventure, an intriguing one and one that she could learn from. She slowed down and layed under the shade of a tree, panting and thinking to herself. What a similar pack like her old family, they were. Wolves would have to fight as well into the pack; unless born into like Mariposa was. The only difference was that they had to fight each other; while in Mari's pack; they would have to fight the Alpha male. Even if they were female, a young wolf, a small wolf, elderly, anything. Even if fighting wasn't their skill. Mariposa yawned and layed her head upon her paws, sighing softly to herself. Solitary was her best company.

Immediately the woman changed her mind, turning and fleeing. Lips curled back in a snarl, a growl vibrating in her throat. Her pelt threatened to bristle as she turned away from the boxers. Foolish woman, she had wasted the Queens time and then fled. Her gaze would shift to Narfi. "If you ever see her again, give her something to remember Elysium by, claim her if you so desire." Lips lifted in a malicious smile as she looked at the younger girl, trusting that she would follow through. The woman had been the first wolf she had wanted to test, and the woman fled immediately, she hoped the next wolf would not be so cowardly and will stand up to the task, to prove themselves to the Queen. The Monarch would disappear once more, returning to her duties of patrolling the border. Annoyance surrounded her, causing her tail to twitch at her hocks. If she ever met the woman again....it would be her last. Talk like this

Quietly she would listen to the rogue, face becoming a blank canvas. A brow raising and yet another chuckle escaping her jaws as the woman doubted her sanity compared to the pack and called the two women beautiful. That was very interesting, never before had she heard such a thing nor thought herself as insanely beautiful. The woman's way of speaking was annoying, as if she was trying hard to leave a ?good impression? even though it wasn't working the second the woman's voice reached her Monarch's ears. Quickly Cat would voice her annoyance, telling the woman she would have to prove her worth before she could even join, voicing Narfi's name. Lips would pull back in a grin the moment she caught her name, head turning to Cat just to confirm the silent order. With the nod from the silver woman the girl would turn back to face the rogue, back legs extending and pushing the girl to her full height, a couple inches taller than this female at 35 inches at the shoulder. Muscles would ripple beneath her dark pelt, ready, itching for a fight, to see what this woman was made of. Head would lower and pull back, skin creating folds and tail held out behind her, defenses forming. But as ready as she was to join, she suddenly turned them down. Brows would come together in confusion and disgust as she thanked them for their time then said a goodbye before turning and running off. ?Pathetic.? The yearling would snort, defenses dropping and turning to Cat. Tail would lash behind the girl was she watched the wolf fade into the distance, high tailing it out of their territory as if her life depended on it... perhaps she had some intelligence to think that at least. Ear twitched at Cat's snarl, her attention going back to her, gazes meeting. Should Narfi see that woman again, give her something to remember Elysium by, claim if she so desired. The smile and look give after that would make the yearling grin as well, giving a small nod of her head. ?My pleasure.? Oh yes, she would love to leave something for her to remember them by, but claiming her should they meet again would be even more fun. A toy to play with whenever she wanted. It would be... delightful. With the Monarch gone now Narfi would take in a deep breath of the woman's scent left behind, storing it in her memories for the next they happened to cross paths. ?Till next time...? A low rumbling laugh would slink from her dark lips in the direction the female ran off in, tongue running over her fangs before she turned and disappeared into the territory. -exit narfi- "normal. talk. think. you."
