His packlands had been quiet as of late. With his sons, Helius and Paeeon, both preoccupied with their new found love, Kratos found himself becoming even lonelier. Of course, he was immensely proud of his boys for finding themselves and creating a home here together with their women, but the loneliness had snuck up on him like a snake in tall grass. Biting him when he least expected it. After everything that had happened at the dual weddings, Kratos was okay with it being quiet. Wisteria and Helius were safe within the bounds of Dawnshire, and Wisteria's attacker had better not ever show his grimy face in the lands, lest he agree to death. Kratos saw Wisteria as his own daughter now, as he did with Luna. Both of them had become family in such a short amount of time, but it was well deserved.

Patroling the borders as the King had become a daily stress-reliever. It brought him peace knowing his lands were safe. As he patroled, he couldn't help but think of weather new faces would end up joining his little family or not. As stated before, it'd been quiet around these parts. Like the calm before a storm. Just as he thought that, a howl pierced his audits, causing his golden gaze to sharply dart towards the source, or the direction of it. Someone new? The King immediately let a smile cross his lips before he began to trot towards the newcomer's voice, sliding through the greenery that littered his lands. It was no point staying in the shadows, his fur stuck out like a sore thumb. Instead, the man made himself known right away to the pitch black male that sat at the edge of the Dawnshire border.

"Hello!" The King called over, holding his head high to show the authority he carried. "Welcome. I'm Kratos, King of these lands. Who might you be?" He questioned, his voice friendly but slightly on guard. He wasn't sure if the man was here for a challenge, or just ot join the pack. The onyx boy seemed worn out, scrawny, and overall just tired from his presumed travels. He didn't seem like a threat. If he did, Kratos would have been more on guard. "If you're looking to join, I will gladly escort you to meet the rest of the pack."
