The Mighty Have Fallen - Minka - Nov 20, 2013 @Kieth @Tokino @Simaea @Inali @Yuka @Malia Mandatory pack meeting to discuss the change in leadership, pack responsibilities and that Narime and Titan are both missing, lets try to not let this drag on :) November 19th 2013 Evening -22 F/ -30C Entrance of the cave [dohtml]
It was time. The woman had been debating this for a few days and finally had come to a decision, but now she must tell the rest of the pack. Tawny paws trailed a line in the snow as she paced, it had been a month now since anyone had seen a sign of Narimé, much longer than anyone anticipated. At first Minka had patrolled the borders frantically when the leader had first left, until Inali had told her it was a planned trip and she shouldn't be gone for much longer. That had been two weeks ago, and there was still no sign, no word, not a vague scent, and the pack needed a female leader, even if it was only temporary. The huntress had fret her decision, what if she made it too soon and Nari came back and felt betrayed? What if the pack rejected her as a leader? None of that mattered now.
Winter was upon them, and though the sky today had been clear flurries were a typical sight. The snow was above the ankles of the adults now, almost closer to the knees, and prey was scarce. Sloane was a honest and capable leader, but he couldn't lead them alone, not through the winter if it kept this up. Pack numbers had dwindled, and while this meant less mouths to feed it also meant less paws to guard the borders, less teeth to bring in prey. Minka would be the first to admit that when Asterion had left she had not handled it well, hiding away in the caves to feed her depression with loneliness. That time in the caves had changed her, she had come out stronger, more sensible, less likely to make a fools mistake because of 'love' again. Whisper Caverns was her family, and it was her only concern now, the woman refused to believe that these events would break them.
It was time. Golden eyes shone with determination in what was left of the quickly vanishing murky daylight, this could wait no more. Lifting her muzzle to the sky the woman called for the rest of the pack, it was now or never.

RE: The Mighty Have Fallen - Inali - Nov 20, 2013 [dohtml] Inali could not believe that she had been so careless, so mindless. How had she not noticed that on those many patrols she had done around the borders, that little Titan's scent was slowly fading away? How could she have the guts to tell both her alphas, that their eldest son was missing? Maybe Sloane already knew, since he was within the pack borders, but how would Narimé take the news? And that was another thing to worry about, besides the missing pup--Nari's disappearance. Well, not exactly disappearance. That was not the correct term. She was supposed to be back a fortnight ago, but her trip was taking too long for Inali's taste. The scout was afraid that somehow, her alpha was in danger, or had injured herself in her travels. Inali had half a mind to go look for her, but she knew that was something that the pack didn't need right now. Another person leaving their rank--no matter how temporary. In truth, their numbers had long since started dwindling. Only the same, few faithful had stayed. A call drove the fae from her running thoughts. Minka was calling for the pack, no doubt for a very much needed pack meeting. Taking a breath of the cold, crisp air, the woman padded towards the direction of the call. She had been close, so the girl need not have run. Within a few yards, her eyes passed between Tokino and Minka. A grim smile graced her features, for she had a small inkling of what this meeting would be about. Raising herself to her full height, which wasn't much, her tail swished softly behind her. A small, warm smile was sent Tokino's way, and she walked towards Minka. They all had to gather strength from eachother, and Inali did just that as she stared at the determination in Minka's steady gaze. Licking the second-in-command's chin in a submissive gesture, she walked and sat a few feet away from Minka, for she was not third and could not sit beside her.

Disappointment and frustration filled Minka as time went on, it seemed that the only ones who listened to her call were @Tokino, @Inali and @Yuka who the sight of left her with an odd feeling. She found the pup oddly non relatable which brought an ache to her heart as she loved pups above all others. Sighing she began, "Hopefully @Kieth, @Simaea and @Malia will join us soon, for the meantime though let's get started." Standing there the golden eyes swept across the other three who had joined her, this was her family and she knew that she needed these wolves support if this was ever going to work. Clearing her throat she continued, "I'm sure you've all noticed that it's been almost twice as long as expected since anyone has seen Narimé, not only that but Titan has wandered off somewhere, I can only assume looking for his mother. In addition Sloane has abandoned us." The fae stopped talking, sadness filling her as she looked upon Yuka whose family seemed to be disappearing all around him.
The sadness was replaced by a cold determination in her eyes, once she might have let this break her, would have let the whatever happens happen. Not anymore, this time she wouldn't just lie down and let fate walk all over her, this time there was more at stake and she wasn't about to let her family disband with the coming winter. Raising her head proudly her golden eyes locked with each and every member before she continued, "In light of these events I am stepping up into leadership until the time when Narimé returns." Minka went silent now, allowing each member to process the information and make any comments they wished to make, she would wait for their input before continuing on with what else she had to say.

RE: The Mighty Have Fallen - Malia - Dec 15, 2013 [dohtml] A call echoed throughout the land and Malia's ears perked with interest. For a quickly passing moment she wondered if it was her mother, Narime, finally returning from her trip. The growing girl's ears dropped back to normal when the voice was recognized. Trudging through the snow, the Thorben took her sweet time. There was no need for her to hurry; the announcement really could not be all that important if it was not given by her mother. Nevertheless her white feet did lead her in the direction of the call, if only to see if her sneaking suspicions were true. [/dohtml] RE: The Mighty Have Fallen - Inali - Dec 15, 2013 [dohtml] Inali waited for anyone else to appear. It wasn't long before Yuka made his appearance. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of him. She had witnessed this boy grow from a quiet, intelligent runt, to a curious, gentle young man. She couldn't help but be proud of him, as if he was her own son. And she guessed, in a way, he was. She thought about all the pups as her own children. She loved them as much as if she was their mother. It wasn't strange to the woman. She always had a soft spot for children. It was magnificent to watch them transform from a pup trailing after their parents into their own person, making their own decisions. Whether it was a good or bad one didn't really matter, for those decisions enhanced their growth into adulthood. If she hadn't been a scout, Inali was sure she would have loved to be a teacher. Yuka greeted her with a head butt to the shoulder, and she inwardly admired how much he was growing. He was her height now, and growing steadily with each passing day it seemed. Her blue eyes twinkled happily as she moved her head a fraction to the side to nip his ear in an affectionate greeting. Inali's head snapped back in attention as Minka began to speak. She was about to state her opinion, when Tokino spoke and Malia appeared with an answer of her own. Her eyes flickered to Yuka briefly before she opened her maw. Her voice was gentle as she spoke, but not any less firm. She admired the girl's spunk, always had, but right now was not the time. "Malia. I agree with you, darling. It was important business for your Mother to be gone so long, but right now, were trying to decide something important. Come, sit, and listen. And then voice your opinions, I promise we will all listen." Her voice had held no room for argument. It probably wasn't the best way to reign in the girl, but Inali had to try something. For some reason, Malia didn't like Inali. And Inali didn't like Malia not liking her. And this probably just made it worse. Her blue orbs stared into Malia's amber ones, the girl feet away from her. How could she reach through this girl? Right now, it seemed impossible. But Inali swore to herself right then and there, there would be no more dislike between Malia and herself. Letting her firm gaze turn soft, her usual warm look graced her features. Turning to Minka, she spoke. "I knew nothing of this..Harp that Kino mentioned. I don't agree with some of what he said, but it is only normal that Nari come back and fight for her alpha position. No matter how much I love her, she can not just expect her position to be handed back to her on a silver platter. It is not the way of the wolf, after all." Clearing her throat, Inali continued. "I have always supported and believed in you, Minka. No matter how temporary, or prolonged, I think you will be good for the job. You have a good head on your shoulders, my friend." Finally feeling like she had spoken her piece, Inali was silent as her watchful gaze ran once more through the snowy lands, waiting for more of her pack mates to appear.
