in the memories i keep of you
The strangest silence wrapped the pack in eerie bliss, though she couldn't say it was good. They needed numbers, and her brother Aelous was ready to take the throne. Their father was on his death bed, and she was worried for the change over. Hermes was originally the heir, but the last war . . . it was entirely preventable. She knew this now that she was older, she was able to decipher what had gone on. He had stolen Aurora from Tarben and plunged them into immediate danger, resulting in the loss of Iris, Alectrona, Khione, and even their mother . . . She wasn't a vengeful or hateful soul, but she couldn't bring herself to be near her older brother for long.
Yet in the silence of the sickness at their doors, a small pup had wandered in. Frost. Strange, as the little child had come from seemingly thin air just the other day. She wondered how the child was fitting in, if the Zetas had taken over raising her. Gods knew she was not in the position to take on a child, not with the fear and stress of potentially having to uproot her entire life for a marriage to ally the pack.
In her flight over the packlands, unfamiliar scents wafted to her nares once again. They were inside her home, at least one adult. Her icy gaze flicked around below as she decent quickly. Her paws hit the ground not far from the adult, hackles bared and her teeth pinned into a snarl that quickly faded at a small voice. “Achelois? Are you here?” Her aggressive behavior quickly melted away, as her icy gaze went to Frost. "Frost, I'm here." She said softly, before her eyes washed over the pups that frolicked together. She then looked to the adult, who she could only assume was the mother. "Pardon my behavior moments ago. You must be Frosts mother, she wandered in the other day and was seeking shelter." She gave a soft sigh of relief. "You must all understand, we are not a free land for just anyone to walk into. If I were not kind to strangers, you all would be in much trouble because this would be trespassing - Frost is of course already accepted to the pack but is not old enough to be bringing strangers inside." She gave the explanation, mainly to the mother since she would likely be the one to understand. "It's protocol usually for an outsider wanting in to wait at the borders and call inland for a member to meet them and accept them. Trespassers could meet rather grim fates." She said with an awkward half smile, only hoping to educate them on the etiquettes of the realm. "Anywho, I'm not a wolf looking for a fight, nor would we wish to exclude a mother and her children from safety. I'm Achelois, sister to the heir assending the throne, and daughter of they current Alpha Achilles. I am the packs Theta, meaning I am the healer. And you all are? Are you all seeking shelter?"
Walk, "Talk", Think.
OOC : Hey Snow, just a heads up - Our rules do state that any trespassing in the packs is allowed to be power-played (the only situation where power-playing can be used) and can result in forced removal of the wolf/wolves from the packs grounds, if a second strike it can result in death of said character(s). My character isn't going to harm yours in this scenario, but please be mindful for next time to have your character post that they are waiting at the borders and call for someone in the pack to accept them.
i know we lost her but trust me she'll be okay
she may be gone but her ghost remains
