Pookastone Scowle Familiarity

Anyone is free to join, especially family. Please let @Ramiel post first.

The decision had been made between the pair to reunite with their family again. After spending the majority of their winter traveling at loners along side Nineva and her pup down south again and then along the Drooping Willows, their paths had been separated. Nineva would travel outside of the Lore in search of her mate, the Archer boys would stay behind. Instead of sticking about the Willow lands at they had been, they traveled west to the lagoon. It had already been far too long since they had seen their agemate sister and they had yet to form any true bond with the new siblings their father had produced with his latest consort.

Grumbling out a growl to his brother, Judas made it clear they were near the borders if Ramiel didn't already notice. From the scent of it, the Pack's members were still strong and holding up well. It was much more then he could say for the Keep. He moved along the edge of the territory, throughout the familiar mosses rock paths and hollows. He didn't call, not yet. Perhaps his brother would or perhaps a guard would catch them first.

Ramiel ARCHER

I don't believe in no devil,'cause I done raised this hell

Here they were again, he and Judas during winter on their own. Ramiel was still grumbling about the two of them having been left even if he did understand why. And just cause he understood didn’t mean he particularly liked the idea of the girls heading off on their own. There wasn’t much he or Judas could do about it now. So together they’d decided to not spend the rest of the winter on their own, it was time to join family. Though they had been skulking about the willows for awhile it wasn’t their family there that they wanted to join.

Instead it was Macha, they hadn’t seen her in awhile and both wanted to spend more time with her. The opportunity to meet fathers newest brood was also a big draw so before long they had found their way to the lagoon. When the scent of the borders reached his nostrils he gave a snort. Judas’ growl caused a twitch of his ear but other than that he remained silent. It was now or stand out here hungry and freezing their butts off. That was when he broke the silence between the two brothers. Without warning rose his muzzle to the air to call for one of the members of the pack that lay beyond the borders.

She had been searching for her children when the stranger's call rolled in. A pale ear flickered in response, and her body turned towards the sound. She wondered what he might want, but her curiosity would be sated soon enough. Celandine caught wind of the second man as she neared. Their scents were similar, as though they had been travelling together, but distinct in that they were two, not one. Interesting. 

As she broke away from the trees, and into their line of sight, she let her eyes pour over them. One was smaller than her, one was larger, and both were painted in dark hues. It wasn't their fur that caught her attention, however. It was their eyes. Ghostly silver. Just like Skoll. Just like Macha, and Niles, and Greer, and Vaeda. Perhaps they were Archers, but perhaps not. They didn't smell of the Willows, and she certainly hadn't met them in Torbine.

Her pale crown tipped to the side, a questioning expression gracing her delicate features. "You called?"

Macha had told the boy that now was the time to start considering what kind of wolf he wanted to be. That the Mother was preparing to accept an offering from the pair in return for her blessings. That he was nearly a yearling, so soon it would be now or never. Today was meant to be for personal reflection, so that he'd be able to draw his conclusion before nightfall. That was the plan. Though of course fate had needed him to take another route today, and he knew that the second he heard a call echo from the edge of their territory. Normally the boy didn't care to meddle in affairs such as this, however a strong sense in his gut beckoned him closer this time. Macha told him to always follow that instinct, that it was the universe guiding him along his path.

Upon arrival, he took a cozy spot near his mother. She hadn't seemed all too worried about the strangers, so any sense of worry he might of had faded away with ease. The pair looked strikingly similar to his oldest sister, so he was almost positive he knew exactly who they were. "Mom, my brothers?" He asked in hushed tones. What were they doing here? Macha hadn't told him of a planned visit. Was everything okay?

Wow, dropped the ball. Didn't even realize it was my turn.

The stark black Archer remained quiet, allowing his brother to break the silence with a call to the members of the Scowle. It would take only moments for a wolf to approach, pale and with brightly yellowed eyes like sunflowers. Her scent was one prominent on these borders and Judas would be left to wonder if this was indeed the female leading partner of his eldest aunts. For the time being he would put two and two together and assume so. He took a step forward and side-glanced to his brother before speaking then first, dark grey eyes looking over the pale woman. "We did. Figured it was about time we spent more time with our family in the Scowle." He didn't specify, not yet, that this family included his sister, aunt, father and two youngest siblings birthed likely from the woman standing right in front of him.

He shifted yet kept his place and distance at his brother's side with a neutral stance, head up but tail low, even as a pup came wondering near and then placed himself at the lightly colored female's side. 'My brothers?', he would question his mother, confirming all the questions Judas had for himself already in this brief meeting. The pale woman was his father's newest consort and the pup? "Yes, we are.... Ah, Anduin, was it?" Had to be. After all, the other pup was a girl, unless Judas information was wrong. Judas tipped his head down as he looked over the chocolate lad, lighter hues like his brother Ramiel compared to Judas near solid black. Already he'd grown so much, rivalling his own size even. Seemed Judas missed out on roughing the little ones up.

Ramiel ARCHER

After his call they didn't have to wait long for it to be answered. He'd hoped that maybe their father or sister would be the one but instead it was a woman, the other one that lead alongside his aunt. She would do especially since she could provide him and Judas with what they had come for. Ramiel stayed in place while his brother moved forward and giving a nod to the side glance he received. He'd allow Judas to do the talking for the moment. The Archer felt that what Judas said was better than anything he might have said to the woman.

Silver gaze slid from the woman to the approaching pup and didn't leave until after he'd spoken. Two questions answered in a single sentence. This was the boys mom and most likely his father's latest conquest which would make the boy one of his youngest siblings. He glanced over at Judas before looking back at the pup. Crouching down just enough he spoke to the boy, “Has father told you about us?” If he had then no introductions should be necessary after all he and Judas already knew the pups name assuming they were both correct in their assumptions.

Her ear twitched at her son's approach, but Celandine's eyes remained steadily ahead on the strangers before her. Of course, she would soon come to find that they weren't exactly strangers, but rather, Skoll's children. She might have faintly remembered their scents along the borders of Pookastone in the early days of its founding, but there had been so much going on then that it must have been lost.

The larger male spoke first, confirming her suspicions. They were definitely Archers. Of course they were. Soon the whole world would bare their surname, she was sure of it. Bright eyes flickered to Anduin as he spoke, pinpointing them before even she had. A light smile touched her features, proud of his accomplishment however small it was. She would let the boy answer his brother's before moving on to more... official matters. "I'm sure your sister and father will be glad to hear of your arrival. Your aunt as well." Speaking of, she was surprised to find that none of them had found their way to the borders already.

"I'm Celandine, since we've yet to have the pleasure." From there she would attempt to move forward to run her sides along theirs, allowing Pookastone's scent to merge with their own. Far be it for her to deny and Archer at the borders.

"Ah, yes." Anduin replied to the biggest of the two. This one beared the most resemblance to his father and Macha, so much so that it was almost even creepy. His eyes then flicked to the other one as he spoke. This one had some browns and creams in his coat, differing himself from the others in that regard. "But of course." The boy offered a warm smile. The majority of his information had actually came from Macha, she was always boasting about them and reminiscing over the past they shared, she definitely cared deeply for her brothers. It was weird to him that she hadn't been the first to greet them today.

The fact that they had came here together must have meant that they were Judas and Ramiel, but hell if he knew which was which. "The Moon Mother has finally brought us together, how nice." He said softly, maintaining his smile. He'd hoped his knowledge on the family religion would impress them if nothing else. First impressions were everything after all.

It would seem as though the youngest wolf in the group took the floor for the time being, answering both Judas and Ramiel's questions. Had Skoll not bothered to mention his two (out of many) grown boys, surely Macha would have. Either way the brothers did not have to go through that awkward phase. Ramiel had crouched down slightly to meet Anduin face to face and their little brother's smile was warm and inviting to his elder brothers. Maybe he would enjoy having some bros around now.

When Anduin mentioned Moon Mother, a smirk pressed over Judas dark expression. "Of that I've no doubt." He spoke, holding his younger brother's gaze for a moment longer. Surely Macha had been training him who was no less a sort of priestess amongst them when speaking the word of Moon Mother. Perhaps it had been Mother's intention to pull the dark brothers away from Nineva in order to have them reunited with their family.

Drawing his attention back to the white female he would nod to her words, eager to meet his family again. She, too, would be a part of their family so long as Skoll decided to actually hold it down this time. As she moved forward, he did without hesitation, leaning his side into the white female as she slid past him and then arced around to meet Ramiel's touch as well. "Names Judas." He spoke to his new Lead, pacing around his new packmates with a shove to Anduin's shoulder and nip at Ramiel's ear.

The youngest of them didn't seem too shy as he spoke up confirming that he was Anduin. He also informed that he had been told of his brothers. It did beg the question of what the young Archer had been told of his brothers. Ramiel hoped it was alm good, he supposed in time he might find out. A smile did form across his features when the young Anduin spoke of Moon Mother, “Yes, it seems she has,” Ramiel agreed a glance thrown back at Judas. For a long time now he'd thought he and Judas needed to get back in touch with the mother. It seemed now they might have their chance, he had no doubt that Macha would see that they did.

His gaze was drawn to the woman that had greeted them as he regain his full height. “I'm sure they will,” he agreed with her sentiment of how their family would feel to have them within the scowled with them. Ramiel felt that after what had happened it was beat that they come and be reunited with their family. The dark brute did miss his father and sister and it was time to end their adventures. He and Judas had both agreed about this. How long it would last, he didn't know but for now they would spend time with their family, get to know their youngest siblings.

“Ramiel,” he supplied when the introductions started. When she moved forward to brush her side against his he gladly accepted the touch that would mean he was now part of his father's pack. He returned his brothers nip with one to Judas' ear before turning his attention to Anduin. He gave the boy a nudge in the side, “It seems we have some catching up to do little man,” he told the boy.
