Whisper Marsh Past coming back to haunt me

It was a beautiful morning for a walk. There wasn't a cloud in the clear blue sky. It had slowly been getting warmer each day, the snow and ice melting and making way for spring. Thanatos was struggling at the time with a lot on his mind. Thoughts of Kama, his old mate, Silver, who would more than likely become his mate with the way things were going between the two, and thoughts of his past. He kept having the same dream every night since he came to Relic Lore. In his dream, his sister Nyx showed up at Grizzly Hollow boarders, playing nice for Jayse so she could get accepted. Then Nyx attacked and killed Jaysyek, Elettra, Silver, and all of the females in Grizzly Hollow. He thought his sister was dead along with the other members of his birth pack but the more he thought about it, he realized her body was never there. The thought of his sister coming and destroying his new home infuriated him.

Thanatos knew it was just a dream but he still felt he needed to warn Jayse in case his sister did happen to show up. He had other matters he wanted to speak to her about anyways. He walked a little further through Whisper Marsh, trying to clear his head and think straight. He took a deep breath to calm himself and in doing so, scented a rabbit not too far away. Thanatos stalked the rabbit and when he was close enough he pounced on it and bit into its soft body until it stopped moving. He picked up the rabbit and carried it closer to the border but stayed just outside of the border so others would not stumble upon their conversation. He dropped the rabbit and howled, asking for Jayse to come but not demanding. When the howl stopped he sat down and waited, hoping his leader would come.

<i>sorry for the wait.</i>

we'll bury the castle.

Morning, she would love for it to be a time for sleeping. Instead it was a time of wakening, and checking her territory. Kade had taken his place to help her, and she didn't doubt his abilities. She had a lot of faith in the dark cloaked gentleman. It would merely take time for him to get use to, just like she had. It would be a long time before anything ran profluent she was sure. Weary shake of her tail, she continued walking, keeping the landscape, now both brow, white, and faded green in her view. She had not yet to go into heat, and was rather vigilant to pray it would be awhile. It could be the spark that started the fire, and she kept questioning if she was ready to have more cubs. She was striving to keep the ones she had safe, and sound.

Her thoughts shattered at a polite request to see her. Her sleek skull titled, than angled up while her ears perched, and rotated to pick out the direction. The voice was familiar, but never heard in a howl. She was not quite enthused to see what was needed of her now. Most nights she had not rested well, and was more than ready for a nap. A woman's work is never done, and she once feeling the border's were untouched trotted to the edge of Whisper Marsh.

Her tail waved high above her, and she let out a soft woof in greeting to the dark male. She noticed the rabbit, but her mind was more on what Thanatos needed. There had to be reason for this call, and she was eager to find out what. "Hello, ya need something?" she humbled replied, drawing close to reside to her haunches. She'd quietly shift her eyes from the scenery to his face waiting for him to speak.

OOC: You're fine hun :) Sorry there is a lot of dialogue

Thanatos heard the soft woof as his leader trotted up to him. He quickly lowered himself and submitted to her as he stepped forward, licking Jaysyek's chin before stepping back and giving her space. He picked up the rabbit he caught and laid it at her feet as an offering. <b>"Yes, I had a couple things I wanted to speak to you about."</b>

He sat down before he continued. <b>"Jaysyek I wanted to inform you that I have been growing close to Silver here. I do not intend to have pups but I wanted to inform you that there was a possibility of her becoming my mate. If you have any objects to it, I will listen to you of course. I simply wanted you to be informed."</b> He took a moment in case his leader had any objections.

The second thing he wanted to speak to her about Thanatos was worried to tell her. He wanted her to be informed that he had a feeling his sister was alive and could possibly be in Relic Lore. Thanatos had no proof yet but he still felt she needed to be warned. <b>"I also wanted to inform you that I have a feeling my sister is still alive. I have reason to believe that she would come to Relic Lore. She is a trickster and not to be trusted at all. My father trained her himself and in a way she is worse than he was. I have no proof that she is in Relic Lore at all but I felt you needed to know. If she does happen to show her face, I would like you to let me handle it. I will take care of my sister, I don't want you or anyone else in the pack harmed."</b> He waited, letting her say anything if she needed.

She warmly smiled to th easy going fellow, offering a wag of her tail at his offer of rabbit. It was a nice gesture, and she would accept it. When he started to get down to business her face became still like a pool of water untouched. She was glad he wasn't one to beat around the bush, and remained quiet, only listening while he informed her of the feelings between him and Silver. It did not bother her they were growing fond of each other. She softly nodded her head, her face blank while she absorbed this detail. They had no intent for offspring, and she believed him for the most part. Sh e was only worried how hard it would be to abstain with the wild aromas. "I see no harm in it, and appreciate you sharing this." She was aware he had more, and was patient for him to continue.

The next bit of news was disturbing to say the least. Her face wrinkled very slightly in her worry lines. She calmly relaxed her ears, and her face followed suit. She wanted to know a bit more, than that to keep an eye out for her. Well, and she wasn't quite sure she liked the idea of him taking her on alone. She might make some friends if she was a trickster. "Hmm, can you tell me her name. Her appearance? I'd like to warn others so they don't fall for some kind of trap." She would be picky who if he wasn't keen on sharing this. She wanted to keep her pups safe, and have Elettra, Raigo, and Kade on alert. "As for handling it, I shall try not to intervene, and let you do what you must. You know you're not alone."

Thanatos was thrilled that Jaysyek would allow him to become mates with Silver. He knew there was no chance for pups, not while they were in Jaysyek's pack. They would form they own pack eventually but not any time soon. She seemed disturbed by his other news, which was to be expected. <b>"Her name is Nyx but I know her, she will go by another name. My guess is she would try to go by Thana or Morb. Those are both names she has used as a cover in the past. She has a black pelt like me, ice blue eyes, only slightly smaller than myself but with more of a slender form rather than muscular. I know she has a scar on her chest and one on her lower neck, both dealt by me. She may have more scars but I doubt it. She's quick and she moves around almost silently. As far as I know, no other wolf has been able to get close enough to law a paw on her before she attacked. Nyx is dangerous, she had been trained to kill since birth and has never known anything else."</b>

He paused, knowing this was information no leader wants to hear from a new recruit. <b>"I apologize in case she does show her face. I never intended for my past to effect my future, especially not your pack. She is particularly not fond of females and pups. That's the main reason I don't want you around her. If she spots you alone she will either try to trick and manipulate you or she will attack the moment she spots you, which may be before you spot her. I promise you, I will be patrolling the borders at all times until I feel she is not around. If I pick up her scent I will take care of her. I will not risk any other members injury because of my family. Please just promise me if you see a wolf that looks like her at all, you will call for me. I will not have your home terrorized by that bitch. If I need help I will call for Kade or another male but no female can be around."</b> He knew what he said would frighten his leader but she needed to know everything about his sister.
