The young male remained silent, though Reaper could tell from his lack of eating that he was uncomfortable. He was distrustful, which he shouldn't have been, but it could be a good quality in a pack, he would make a good selector of recruits if he is so weary of strangers. The ponderings were cut short however by Anastasia's words and the Arctic man turned to her with a smile, <b style="color:#FF2501;">"Well before I tell you of our future, I see it fitting that I first tell you of my past." He relaxed further, settling down so his for paws were straight before him, but the rest of his body rested upon the ground. The actions were a subtle display of allowing the younger man to take control, he obviously had advantage over Reaper while he laid upon the ground, it was a calculated move to see how Nineteen would react. He cleared his throat and began his tale, and for a moment got lost with them within the memory.
<b style="color:#FF2501;">I do not remember this well, I was barely old enough to leave the den, so a lot of things that happened I didn't truly understand until I was older, all I knew what that I was scared. When I was just beginning to leave the den with my siblings I lived with a small birth pack made of my mother and father, one of his brothers and one of my mother's friends from childhood, and of course us children. My parents were both pure Arctic, along with the other two as well, and all was good. One day a rogue came upon us, a large male, and he challenged my father for the pack and lost, but he grew bitter of his defeat and came back upon the pack and murdered my father in his sleep. He then claimed the pack as his own, but he ordered my mother to kill us children, he declared that the only offspring that would survive her womb would be his own and gave her until the end of the month to do the deed, or he would kill her and everyone she loved. The organization was just a fledgling then, a small group of no more than ten, but they heard of the happenings, and came in the night to rescue us pups and they hoped my mother and the other two as well. I was the first to be smuggled from the den, but the male awoke and by the time they went back for my siblings they found all of the children dead, my father's brother dead, but both women and the man missing.
He took a breath before continuing, the sad portion of his tale now finished, <b style="color:#FF2501;">"One of the women within the organization went by the name of Sass, and she had a female pup the same age of me named Lucia and she took me in as her own, she became my mother and Lucia my sister. They saved me from a horrible fate and spent much time looking for my mother, but never found her or any sign of the male. They taught me their ways and they swelled rapidly in size, spreading the word to everyone, I have known no different my whole life. Now the organization is massive in size in Alaska but we wished to further spread our message, and so I have been sent to create a branch of the organization here, and this is where you two come in." Excitement grew within him now, passion clear upon his expression as he turned to them, hoping that now they would see just how great the organization could be here with their help.
His tail began to thump like a beat of a drum, he could no longer contain the happiness that always flooded through him as he talked of the message. He looked first upon Anastasia with a look of pure admiration, before looking upon the younger male with an identical look. He opened his jaws once more, <b style="color:#FF2501;">"I plan on making a branch here, a large pack, and if we do well I hope to make a second as well, but I am getting ahead of myself." He cleared his throat quietly, <b style="color:#FF2501;">"It would be foolish to create a pack now, I know too little of these lands and the packs within them, we must first gain numbers and allies before we begin. I wish the two of you to be founders, but I believe it best if after this meeting we separate, at least me from the two of you. We should join packs, form bonds and create allies, so when we begin our packs we will have allied packs until we become fully established." He stopped talking now, though surely they would have questions to ask, and he certainly had answers.
