Artemis

Artemis was laying upon the ground not to far from the border. The subordient fea though she saw another wolf. For a moment she wondered whether she should check it out or not. Finally she made up her mind to. Where were the ranked wolves?

"Hello?" She called out to the stranger wondering what she wanted.

Rainiak

When another voice called out to her, Rainiak emerged from where she had been standing in a cover of dead reeds near the bank. After being approached by a large group in the last land she had tried to claim, Rainiak was taking things more cautiously with this attempt at taking land.
"You must belong to the pack owning this land?" Rainiak's voice was crisp and to the point. Her tail was flagged up high in dominance, and in a daring move, she slowly approached the other in a way that was not all too friendly. "I am here to claim this piece of land as my own, and I am prepared to fight for it."

Amari; Isabel; Rampage; Others

Of course Isabel wasn't going to take this matter lightly. She and Artemis seemed to be the first pack members to arrive. The scouts had alerted Amari, though, so she would surely be here soon. After losing so much, Isabel wasn't going to lose her favorite territory. "Step back or I'll tear your head off." Her hackles were raised and she bared her deadly teeth. "If you fight one of us, you fight all of us." It was a fact. It was how her family always handled an intruder.

"Isabel, stand down." Amari, the alpha, had a calm yet assertive voice. She then addressed Raniak, and, like Isabel, wasn't going to let this land get taken. "The beta female is right, though. If you wish to challenge for our territory, you will be going against the entire pack. All of us." She kept her defensive and dominant posture and behavior, and there would be consequences if Rainiak didn't show submission. "However, you are welcome to join the pack, and we are even contemplating renting some of our territories out to outsiders providing we feel that they will never bring us harm. The offer is still there if you wish to take it."

Of course the Valkama members weren't alone. Rampage, alpha of the Rebels, was nearby his aunt Isabel. Mocha and Vienna, children of Isabel, stood on the sidelines, as well as her younger children, Kinetic and Zooropa. Amari's children, Convict, Bryne, Kerberos, Haemon and Astralla were also there. And Avaire, a daughter of Rowan and Artemis, stood protectively by her mother. p>

Rainiak

One on one, she might have stood a chance, but not one verse many. Not wanting to be ripped to shreds, and counting herself lucky that she wasn't outright attacked for her intrusion, Rainiak immediately did away with her threatening postures and lowered her entire body. Head, tail, and ears went down, "I appreciate your leniency and offer, but I've always desired to lead of pack of my own." The wolfess didn't dared meet eyes with Amari, the one who did most of the speaking, and the one who Rainiak could only assume was the leader in this bunch. Her eyes flickered to the ground in front of the alpha female instead, "I would like to become allies, if that is something you are looking for. You seem like a very strong pack, and it would be an honor to be considered friends." Okay, maybe she was kissing up just a little; but flattery never hurt, did it?

Artemis

Artemis's head and tail went to gamma position as a low snarl came from her vocals. It was a warning to the fea that approached her in a threanting manner. "Then you shall die if you fight." Orbs looked to Isabel as she came, and Artemis relaxed somewhat as Amari showed up as well. Surely this fea wouldn't be stupid enough to start a fight with so many wolves? A lick to the ear was given to Avaire in greeting. Smiling slightly she looked to Rainiak waiting for the fea to state what she was going to do.
