Risen .+. Silver Trace .+. Wither .+. Ynear

The tiny alpha fea appeared at the entrance of the den. She could hear the pups in the lower levels bickering and arguing. Her eyes narrowed as her pupils dialated to adjust to the darkness. With a might burst she howled for both the pups and Nachi to come to her presence. Nachi would give the update on the pups progress, while the pups would now introduce themselves to the rest of the pack... if deemed worthy. "Come children, It is time to meet your master, your mother must have done a good job raising you now you are to meet the rest of the pack. Some may even move on to become high ranking pack members." She lowered her head and awaited something to rustle from the dark stairway.

Soon something did stir. It was the loyal Silver Trace. With a graceful move she walked with strength toward the alphess. Her head was high though dipped respectfully to the fea, then raised to a position to show strength and on who submissivly demanded respect. "Hello dear alphess, My name is Silver Trace. You can call me Silver. By word, you must be Risen. A pleasure to meet you." She smirked and side stepped away, revealing Ynear. Risen gave only a simple nod to Silver before her attention focused on The black she-pup.

Ynear had a dark yet happy look to her. Her comfort was in the black stillness of the night. Her night vision far surpassing those of the pack. "Grettings Risen, I am Ynear. My father is unknown to me and my mother is Nachi. You will find my sister Palitina to think otherwise, sadly." She whimpered and turned her head to the stair way, then moved aside to reveal the ghastly image of a female Crucified.

Risen was about to nod to Ynear when she was taken aback by Wither. Her hackles rose but when Wither tilted her head the alpha lowered and nodded. "I'm sorry, you resemble my brother. My dead brother, I thought he had come back from the dead for a moment." She laughed and nodded to the child to continue. Wither bowed her head though it was raised higher than Ynear's, lower than Silvers. "My name is Wither, Daughter to Nachi. I too shall tell you beware my sister believes our dead mother still breathes." She side stepped for the next pup to come, if there was one behind her. Her ears turned and waited for Nachi, her mother, to arrive.

Lion, Outcast, & Tersek

Lion revealed himself next, the fur around his cheeks and ruff growing more prominent now. His namesake. Pale golden eyes shone in contrast to his otherwise black pelt, while his white throat patch was hidden with his lowered head. "I'm Lion, son of Nachi." His gaze was held evenly below Risen's eyes, not challenging hers, but not showing weakness either. His previous shyness had evolved into an acute caution and awareness of his surroundings. Making a statement for himself, he kept his head below Silver Trace's, but above the rest of the siblings.

Tersek was next, and stood a good deal higher than his brother. One eyes was a piercing yellow, a throwback to his father. But the other was the lovely amber of his mother's. His coat was grizzled and underlaid by a gray-tan cast. He was not so keen as his brother in intellect, and resorted to force more than anything. Confident, he raised his head higher than everyone else- except for Risen, that is. "Tersek."

Outcast was next, bearing the black coat of her smaller brother, except for some tan and sepia markings over her shoulders and flanks. Dark eyes went well with her coat. "My mother was killed, unfortunately." She replied in a witty, sarcastic tone, sitting back elegantly on her lean haunches. "My name is Outcast, and I know little of who my real parents are." For a brief moment, she allowed her eyes to flicker directly into Risen's, before looking casually away.

Nachi

Nachi came forward, standing in the middle of the youngsters, ears planed out to the side. Not exactly a 'submissive' gesture, but not a dominant one either. "My childeren are very clever and growing fast, but there is still much they need to learn from their mother." She spoke, partially narrowed eyes directed to her alpha's forehead while her tail swayed ever so slighty from side to side in an akward fashion. "I must be with them when they meet the rest of the pack." She looked proudly to the group around her, particularly at her favorite 'daughter', and to Silver Trace. "I planned on taking them hunting later tonight. Surely, meeting the pack won't take too long, will it?"

Risen

She nodded as each of the pups presented themselves, her eyes staring every so coldly back to Outcast as she dare started into her own. Her head gave a slight, almost unoticable dip toward Nachi in greeting as she approached. Eyes flickering the "nice work" hidden message. "You have been a good mother, they are growing fast and strong." Her eyes flicked to Tersek. My father you have such great genes in you to make the darkest of wolves. She thought to herself. "The meeting should not take long, some members may not show as they are off on duty, but the others will be glad to see who's been dwelling in the den." She smiled and turned, there was no sight of the last one. She assumed she was refusing to come out. "Come, the meeting will go shortly and you can resume to go hunting."

Silver Trace looked to her mother in glance then raised her hackles to Tersek. Growling under her breath but accepting the fact that he -was- stronger than her. The others would still be placed beneath her. She began to walk with her alphess, head held just below Terseks so that no one could raise theirs higher than her without challenging him.

Ynear stayed next to her mother, only moving forth when the fea did. Her eyes narrowed into the shadows as the others began to move away. The sun outside was bright, almost to bright for her own eyes but she knew she would be able to handle it. Night was her favorite time of day and the darkness was her blanket of comfort.

Wither stood quietly until the alpha spoke her words and moved away. She placed her head just below Silver Trace's. Wither was a leader, but she was no match to Silver Trace and Tersek. With a few steps she was after the group, her tail flicking side to side from hitting against her hocks. She resembled her father so much, and yet she could only vaguely remember him.

Palatina

She growled as this so called risen fem came into view she glared.Her tail curled above her back she wondered how her brother and mother was doing."Nachi is no mother i can't believe you two so dishonoralbe to your real family"She growled but followed reluctantly.
