Liseli came walking slowly in, placing feet carefully so that the three little wanderers behind her could keep up.

The first pup coming was already firm on his feet, strutting along at the head of his pack of siblings. His coat was a cloudy grey, a snip of black on the end of the muzzle being the only decoration. This was Altan, the red rising sun.

Next in line was another cloudy grey, this one a little female distinguished from her brother only by the black line splashed across her muzzle that greatly resembled her mother's. Stepping high in a way that might have looked fancy but really just looked foolish, the little female tagged behind. This was Taini, the returning moon.

Last in the line came a solidly built little female, like her father, this one a dusty grey with white tips and undersides. A splash of black mantling her shoulders set off the pale green eyes that matched her mother's exactly. This pup flashed around, running forward to trip up her sister and jump into her mother's snout before retreating to the rear again, flitting back and forth. This was Kimama, the butterfly.

Finally Liseli came to a halt, pups clamoring and climbing around her, all except Altan, who stayed off to one side, not interested in playing. Letting out a sigh, she let out a high, melodious call that brought tears to her eyes. Never before had she entered these lands alone... without Sauda. Shaking her head so that no one would see the tears, she waited for someone to come.

Lady heard the call of liseli. She ran as qickly to the spot as she could. Angel, Fe, and tresse following at her heal. She stoped infront of liseli with a smile looking at the new pups. "Hi Liseli." she says watching her pups interact with Liseli's pups.

"Hi." angel, fe, and tresse say togeather wagging their tails happaly. "Who are you?" angel asked "I'm angel and my sisters are Fe and Tresse." she finished off lokking around to see the new faces. "We can speek for our selfs" fe says to angel walking up nextto her with tresse following.

Liseli smiled softly at Lady. She was still not completely healed from her sister's death, and perhaps never would be, but her mind was once again whole. Hello, Lady. I am glad to be home again. And she turned to her pups, introductions being necessary. Altan, Taini, and Kimama, meet Lady, Tresse, Fe, Angel. My other three and mate will be along in a moment. And she sighed, her face growing serious, her voice soft out of the pups' hearing range. I... apologize for leaving as I did. I did not mean... to abandon you. And her head hung low, ashamed. I just... And her voice faded as Kimama scrubbed herself against her leg, whining.

The Alpha male heard Liseli's call and instantly stood from the spot where he had been lying watching his sons. Setting off at a steady pace, his sons following behind, he moved towards Liseli and the other that surrounded her. He smiled as he approached them, Nuzzling Lady before turning to smile warmly at Liseli.
Welcome back Liseli.
He listened to her speak but as soon as her facial expression changed, his face clouded, she was obviously still mourning Sauda. Her death was probably still fresh in Liseli's mind, as it was in all of theirs. He sighed heavily and gently uttered a soft whine to Liseli. He nudged her gently on the shoulder, in a comforting way.
Do not worry Liseli, You did not abandon us. We understand...If you need more time alone, we shall not stop you.

Krypt, Damaged and Jagged bounded after their father. Krypt was the brand new "Alpha" pup in his opinion and his brothers knew not to mess with him.
Krypt was growing fast, he was already quite big, his muscular white frame bigger than his siblings and his intense amber eyes taking in the small gathering. He led his siblings closer to Liseli's pups and spoke in a resonably deep voice, much like his fathers but of course not as deep.
Hello. I'm Krypt, This is my mom and dads land so that makes me the Alpha pup because i'm the oldest. Who are you?
He puffed his chest out and tried to stand as tall as he could, which was quite tall compared to Liseli's new litter.

Damaged, the second biggest male followed his brother Krypt but stayed behind him by a fraction, knowing that if he didnt he would probably get a beating from his brother. He was also white like his mother and father.

Shooting past the other two, Jagged appeared. He may have been the smallest of the male siblings but he was definately the fastest. He stopped infront of the other pups as Krypt and Damaged arrived, but as soon as Krypt made his way over, Jagged slipped behind him. No need for violence...yet anyway.

Lady watched Lisseli listining to her words. "Really it was no problem at all. We all understand." Lady said. She couldn't wait to meet the one who erned Liseli's respect and love.

Angel growled at krypt. "And who said your apha pu." she snaped walking over and sitting infront of him. "Come on don't fight angel, you can both shair the spot." Tresse whined knowing angel's big ego would get in the way if she didn't pay attention. "Don't mind them." fe says "Angel is alwase trying to be the best." she giggled and sat next to Damaged playfully swatting at him.

Malai dartted into the lands first. Her black coat gleaming in the warm sunlight her brown eyes with brown circles around them peering around to all the wolves. She stood still licking her lips bitterly after the preformance she just watched. Aloysious came up behind her with Maska walking driectly by his side proudly and Nukpana tagging along with a low growl. She was the only one of them all that wasn't black. Her gray and white coat's ends swayed in the gentle breeze and her beautiful pale green eyes gazed up at the other wolves with a hint of anger. "Sorry it took me so long," he said in a fustrated tone padding up to his mate.

Liseli smiled as the rest darted in, giving her mate a light nuzzle as he came, but hearing the tone, she whispered quietly, out of hearing of the pups. What's wrong, Aloysious? And then, she caught scents. Eytan? You've seen Eytan? How is he? She was wondering why he was so annoyed.

Aloysious looked over at Liseli with a cold stare and a pale expression when he heard her say Eytan. Yes perhaps he smelled like the old basterd. "Eytan? Yes, I've seen him and he's fine," he said bitterly. "Unforunatly," he muttered beneath his breath his talons gripping the earth beneath him.

The pups ears flickered trying to hear what was being said, but they cuaght none of it and looked at each other. Malai was the only one of the three pups that had a blissful smile and it seemed to annoy Aloysious and the other two pups.
