Blackmist

A howl from a familiar voice rose in the wintery land, calling for Aizen. It came from Blackmist, who waited patiently at the boarder.

Aizen

Aiden was still trying to figure out how to safe his daughter. He heard the howl and moved **blackmist?**

Blackmist, Caritha, & Shadow Star

Caritha and Shadow Star followed after Aizen, both still distraught over the capture of Cynical, and neither knowing what to do about it.

Blackmist lowered her head when the alpha approached, though her tail gave a small wave to show how happy she was to see her old friend again. "Greetings, Aizen. I've come a the request of the Haunters; Tyrant and Saulk have been elected new co-leads along with Senka, and they want to officially offer an alliance with you and your pack."

Aizen

He missed black and wished she had joined them. tell me are they still barbaric and uncaring of what others want? They still so against us with deformities breeding? he asked. His tail flicked to the side.

Blackmist, Caritha, & Shadow Star

"Last I heard, breeding is open to everyone." Blackmist answered honestly, having left before the Leaders delved deeper into their debate. Her tail continued to sway lightly, and a smile warmed her grayed muzzle when she saw how grown Caritha was. "They did mention creating Divisions again, and having your pack be apart of it. I'm not sure what that all entails, but if you're interested you're welcome to the speak with them at the Ruins I'm sure."

Aizen

He listened then snorted **division I'm my own pack they are not my alpha**

Blackmist, Caritha, & Shadow Star

She briefly angled her ears back, instinctively displaying her pacifism when Aizen reacted unfavorably to the idea of being in a Division. "I don't think it's anything set in stone, only a suggestion. I believe they're more interested in maintaining an alliance with you than anything." Slowly, Black's auds crept forward again, and her interest fell to Caritha and Shadow Star. "Caritha has grown well. And I see you have a new pack member?"

Caritha stepped forward, standing beside her father, instinctively on the side of his missing leg as she often did with her sister. She had been so young when they left that she hardly remembered this wolf, but Caritha offered her a friendly nod anyway.

"Shadow Star. Pleasure to meet you." Shadow greeted, giving his tail a wag. It lacked its usual enthusiasm though, for like Aizen and Caritha, his concern was still with Cynical and how long she'd been captured.

Aizen

He snorted **you can tell them if they treat me as an equal to senka and the other leaders as I am a leader an alpha and don't try to control me then we can but also on the conditions they help me get cynical back from the humans.** He said ** if they can't do either of those I'm afraid they aren't worth it**

Blackmist, Caritha, & Shadow Star

"I can deliver that message, if that's what you want." Blackmist agreed, guessing there would be little problem with that arrangement. When he mentioned Cynical being gone though, Black's eyes widened at first, the fell to the snow-packed ground. "I'm sorry to hear that. I will let the Haunters know straight away, and tell them you request aid. Is there anything else?"

Aizen

Aizen listened** that's it**

Blackmist, Caritha, & Shadow Star

This short mission had suddenly become more urgent. "I'll let them know." With no time to linger and chat with her comrade and his pack, Blackmist bolted from the cadre, heading swiftly back to the Ruins.

Caritha watched the Haunter leave, fervently hoping that they would agree to help.

Shadow Star began to pace, still considering calling his birth pack for help, but not knowing if they'd be willing to go against someone like Ethan or not.
