It was time. She had deciphered this news herself, and she was so happy. There were lives growing inside of her, and they would soon be born unto the world. Now she had but one task, to inform her beloved of the news, and hope he took it well. Broad paws struck the terra, returning to her den where her mate no doubt was awaiting her. Did he already have food? She dragged a fawn between her front legs, the infant having been left unguarded by it's mother and fell victim to the woman's ravenous jaws. Liquid mercury optics scanned the dark mouth of her newfound den in the Mangrove, the scents she could have picked up muffled by the coppery scent of the kill in her jaws. Standing outside the mouth, she dropped her kill to the sandy dirt, lowering her delicate cranium to peer into the burrowed den. "Magnus lyubit? Are you here?" Soft ethereal tones would inquire, accent faint and lilting. A few wags of her long banner were given, the alabaster giantess anxious to give her mate the information he would no doubt enjoy. OOC: This is set before the pack meeting xD "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

He was weary from his training. He had been teaching himself a new move. It had been fun. But he had been left fatigued and hungry. He had decided that his need for sleep overpowered his need for food just then and decided to take a nap. He had had a decent slumber by the time his love's words reached his audits. He stood up and shook himself off. He smiled when the scent of fod hit him. Perfect. She must have brought it home. He padded out of the den, and sure enough, a dead fawn lay on the ground. He trotted up to Aurora and placed a kiss on her cheek. Thank you Aurora my love. You seem so happy today, I for one share that happiness, as I am always happy when I'm with you. he smiled and nuzzled her neck. OOC: crappy phone post :( Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech

A smile would curve the woman's dark lips as her mate emerged, kissing her cheek and speaking of the joy of being together. Seating herself, she buried her muzzle in the kill she had retrieved for them both, revelling in the coppery taste flooding her tongue. Well, it is now or never. She thought to herself, then sighed. Lifting her delicate cranium, she looked to her beloved and smiled. "I have wonderful news, lyubit." Ethereal lyrics would murmur, her smile broadening as her faintly accented tones caressed his lobes. How would he react? Would he take it well? Would he be shocked? She hoped not, she wanted him to be as happy as she was. Though she had definitely been shocked when she had realized, but she had been overwhelmed by joy quickly afterward. Her mother's side of the family always had trouble conceiving children, and often only one was born. That had been the case with each of her mother's litters, but still the alabaster princess had been graced with a little sister and an even younger brother. Long ivory tail would beat against the sandy terra, excited to give this news to her mate. Twin raven's feathers would flutter and twirl erratically for a few moments, then settle themselves flush with her silken angelic derma. She would no longer be the only one with feathers now, her children would soon gain a pair as well, unless they caught something else, which was not uncommon. Liquid mercury optics remained fixed upon the twin feathers, letting memories wash over her. Slowly, moonstone gaze would flick back up to her mate, awaiting his reply. "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

Aurora dug into the carcass, and he followed her. After taking a few bites, his love's words stopped him, his ears perked a little. He raised his head to look at her, bright blue eyes meeting her silver pools. Wonderful news. A grin tugged at his features. He had a niggling suspicion. But he would not speak quite yet, as he would be rather embarrassed if he was wrong. But he was pretty certain that he was correct. The signs had been there, he was no healer, but he still could sense that something had changed with her. Yes Aurora love? a smile caressed his features. Waiting for his wife to reply. Wondering if his suspicions were correct. Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech

The dual toned man stopped eating, shoving his pale audits forward and bidding her to go on. A shaky breath was brought in, her smile becoming anxious for a heartbeat as excitement glittered in her moonstone orbs. Standing, the femme would step over the carcass and seat herself with her shoulder brushing his. Neck would crane to bring her regal muzzle to his ear, Russian tainted lyrics flowing from between formidable canines to rustle the fur within his aud, low tones full of pure joy at the news she was to deliver. "I am carrying your children." Ethereal tones would murmur, brimming with excitement and yet perfectly composed, as one would expect from the Queen. She would soon bear an heir to the throne, and she would have her own princes and princesses to care for with her King. Long banner would beat steadily upon the sandy ground, her excitement unable to be contained. She nipped at his cheek, kissing where her teeth had just gentle purchased themselves. "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

Magnus couldn't believe his ears. Him a father? He had dreamed of having children all his life, and now he was. It seemed only yesterday he had met Song on the borders of Ludicael, and his ivory rose had arrived. Taking his breath away. They had sat under the stars in the mangrove. Just talking. A grin crossed his face. He was going to be a father. Oh god. He felt the light nip to his face. And he sat. A father. It was such a shock, but in a good way. he was full of joy and nervousness. Would he be a good father? Jesus, trust him to get worked up. It was the woman who was meant to be worried and stressed during a pregnancy. He turned to her. OH my god! Aurora! That's brilliant! I well... What more is there to say! he nuzzled her gently, the placed a kiss on her muzzle. Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech

His reaction to the news warmed her heart, though the alabaster queen did not miss the anxiety trying to hide in his oceanic optics. Her mate would place a kiss upon her muzzle, and a few times would her long tail beat upon the terra. "I think we should create a pack of our own, to raise our children." The woman would whisper into his ear, ethereal lyrics tinged with their usual faint accent. She wanted her children to grow up in a pack like the one she had been born into, life as royalty taught youngsters many important things, and gave them a taste of what they could hope to accomplish, or where they could take their lives if they did not like life among the higher ranks. "What do you think, lyubit?" She would murmur, placing a trail of kisses along his cheek and neck before looking back into his bright blue eyes. She had enjoyed the life as heir when she had grown up, but she knew not everyone did. There was also the problem of naming an heir, with her family it had been no problem, she had been the only pup born alive. Yet somehow she knew that she was carrying more than one child, so the first born would become the heir, until they could chose whether they were worthy or not. The ivory giantess' infinite mind would race with the future if she created a pack for her children to grow in, excited for the possibility. "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

As his love whispered in his ear he couldn't help but feel excited. A pack would be great. To be able to have their own pack to raise their children in. Have them grow up in. What do you think Lyubit? he smiled. It was a brilliant idea. Also Aurora would be seated upon her throne once again. They would rule an honest and trustworthy pack. No doubt they would be allied with Song. My love that is an excellent idea. What were you thinking of calling it? he enquired. The curiosity evident in his eyes. Where would they claim as a territory? Who would join their pack? Would it have large numbers? A million questions buzzed around in his head. But h wouldn't ask them. She would tell him in time. Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech

Magnus took to the idea of raising their children in a pack, and took to it well. A soft smile played at her features as she pondered what to call it, since calling the Lunashkan Empire would bring back horrid memories of her past. A grin curved her dark lips as she looked over to the face of her beloved, and uttered the name of their soon to be empire. "Sila. It roughly translates to strength, or might." She murmured, liquid mercury optics glimmering with joy. She wanted a name that would inspire awe from those who knew of it, yet would not make those who wished to join feel fear and not wish to. Long tail would beat upon the terra a few times, enjoying naming her future empire with a term from her native tongue. It would be nice to remember her roots, never to forget her family and past. "Unless you have other ideas, which I would gladly hear." She would assure her mate, smiling softly as she placed a gentle kiss upon his cheek. She loved her beloved Magnus, and if he would rather call their Kingdom by a different name, she would be content with that. "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

As his wife spoke of the name he nodded. Strength, might. It was Powerful. He liked it. He shook his head as his wife asked him if he had any other ideas. No my love, it is a powerful name, for what will be a powerful empire. Sila. I think that it is perfect He smiled. He had received two bits of good news in one night. He had never been happier. Sila he placed a kiss on her muzzle. he played the word again and again through his head. It would be theirs, he would rule beside hiss wife. She would of course be primary alpha, and he would take the role of secondary. He didn't care, as long as they had somewhere safe to raise their children. Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech

Slowly would a grin creep onto her features as she returned her beloved's affections with a nuzzle to his neck. They would rule well, and she would be the Queen her family had raised her to be. Resting her tiara upon her mate's shoulder, she sighed softly in contentment. "Now, lyubit, let us finish this meal and then have a rest." She would murmur into his ear, nipping the tip of it lightly and leaning downwards to begin taking chunks out of the fawn. It was tasty, sanguine wine stained her muzzle as she tucked into the lovely meal she had brought for her and her love. Long tail would flick joyfully as she pondered her future with her mate, a soft grin playing at her features as she wondered what their children would look like. Would they resemble her mother? Her father? Or would they look like some of Magnus' family? Only time would tell them. "Magnus Speech", "Aurora speech"

As his love talked about food and rest he was suddenly aware of the fatigue that he had forgotten in her presence. Food and rest, yes that sounds good he muttered as Aurora dug in. He lowered his head to the fawn. He began to eat. The coppery taste filling his mouth. It tasted brilliant, even better because he had been starving. When he was done he looked to her. Crimson liquid stained his maw. He looked to his wife, That was lovely, thank you. Now to rest He smiled and trotted back into the den. He lay down. Almost instantly he was asleep. Deep breaths sounding out through the den. -EXIT MAGNUS VIA SLEEP- Magnus Speech, Aurora Speech, Corvusi speech
