Tersek & Others

Senka had made her decision and was now striding out of the temple for private council with Cavan. Geinah turned her muzzle to Victoria after the tigress left, "I can use all the help I can get." On a quieter note, the wolfess put forth a question to her friend, "I understand that you'll be staying with us at Dima's Temple?" The strategist was well aware of Victoria's pregnancy, and on those grounds, thought it better that the soon-to-be mother should stay behind and away from the fighting. Geinah only offered it as a suggestion however, since she was neither a Mother, nor did she hold any authority to make Victoria stay back.

Dandelion was among those staying. The deer had been among the first three warriors of his kind brought into the pack, under Risen's guidance and training regiment. After being crippled in a fierce assault, the stag been forced to retire from his role as a warrior, and turned his services instead towards being a sentry. Now, with the bulk of the Haunters readying themselves for departure, Dandelion limped towards the inner moat where Dima's Temple was located, where he'd wait and oversee the young and old cross into the safe area.

Departing from the area, Cavan followed silently after his leader.

Senka

Senka walked back down into the temple. She eyed all the group. If we are all set then we shall now leaveShe said.

Tersek & Others

Tersek strode forward, his muscular body carried in an air of confidence and superiority. "We're ready. Haunters!" The wolfdog looked back to all that had gathered, speaking loudly in his deep, far-carrying voice. "Today we begin to reclaim our name and purpose, and once again remind the Valley who we are." In the rush of excitement and power that he felt, Tersek raised his muzzle and unleashed a ringing howl that rolled across the mossy walls of the Ruins and echoed out over the rocky cliffs of the mountains. All around him, others joined in, from Drekh's deeper cry, to Monarda's wild, wavering notes. It was a call of war that would spread far and wide over the land, and once those chorus of voices had subsided, Tersek flashed a look and a nod to Senka, letting her know he was ready.
