Kalaber
As much as he hated this the lurkers have done wrong to him directly now. He could no longer trust them. If time needed and the Haunters wrong him or any of his family again he will attack them again. But for now his decision was clear ever since Ebony a lurker stole his step daughters children and broke her leg for trying to get her pups back. He let out a call for Risen and Wither. If risen went back on her deal sh would pay. Wither would spend her time with kalabers pack until risen went to battle. He wanted the same pretty much with ynear but apparently she wasn't willing to let ynear do so. but it would come sooner or later.He would get ynear too. Ynear deserved to find a mate and have pups herself. Here she was denied that chance t raise her own pups. He still did not believe in the true mothers of pups not raising them. but he would have to leave that alone for now. He sat down and waited for the two.Being the end of the month the haunters had shown him some things. They showed him nothing to make him hate them. He still didn't agree with what they do and had done to his sister and to other innocent mothers but for now he would Ally with them even if it was for a short while.
Risen .+. Wither
Risen came first, her head high in power and dominance. A glow surrounded her as her wounds faded into scars, as emotions began to stabilize, and as the pack began to settle down once again. Her eyes held something different in them each time she approached her alpha nephew. This time, interest, glee... Had the Lurkers really screwed up their chance this badly... It was only a benefit to her side, she would say nothing to persuade his judgment to the opposing side.
With a bow of greeting, the leader spoke in a gentle tone. "Yes, Kalaber? Have you made your decision.. It is the end of the month...How is your step daughter?" There was a slight hint that she was truly interested, both to know of the wolf's well being, as well as where the thoughts of the Lurkers stood with him.
At the end of her statement, Wither appeared. Strides were long as she made a mad dash for her brother and skidded to a halt. With quickened breath, she looked to both her alpha and her brother. Bowing respectfully to Risen before bowing to her brother in greeting. "I- Uh... What has been said?"
Risen smiled to her niece, "Nothing yet.."
Kalaber
Kalaber stood tall and didn't lower it even when risen appeared. He watched her every move and then bowed in greeting.ai I have made my decision, AS far as i know Kinscesm is doing a little betterHe first spoke. Then he looked to his sister or one of them. Though of course he still wanted ynear probably the most.my decision for now, Because of the Lurkers fault mostly, I shall no longer participate in this war unless something deems hazerdous to any of my family. I'll allie my self with you for the time being risen but don't think your packs crimes have gone awayHe still held the anger for his little sister that never made it past pup hood.I trust you enough that you will keep up your half of the bargainHe spoke.
Risen .+. Wither
Ynear would never abandoned her part as the lead mother, even to have her own pups, and Risen knew this well. But she would not say this to her nephew.. no. "I will keep up my end, as long as Wither returns for battle, she will be able to live with you." Wither's head popped up and then turned to Kalaber. Slightly torn inside, she didn't want to leave her children... but she would return to them, one day. Be it during battle, or when the valley came to realize the true good the Haunters were trying to do for it.
Wither turned to her brother moving closer, ready to leave. Mind ready, yes... well.. sort of, but she would make it. Risen nodded, "I'm glad to hear Kinscesm is doing better. I hope the best for your pack and the downfall of the Lurkers... Peace be with you and your family." She gave a final nod before turning and slowly moving away, feeling a sense of victory,
The Shadow Lurkers have already lost...
Kalaber
As much as he didn't want wither to fight this was the start of his own victory getting his sisters back. Ynear one day would hopefully return to him too but better start small. He listened to her.I don't go back on my wordsHe spoke before turnign to his sister and nuzzling her and then he barked to tazi and his pups and headed off towards him home.
