Flight for Freedom

Deep in the forests of Orcalla, are secrets known only to few.

Past the walls of Perditta, the Great Kingdom, the overshadowing forest teems with life of all kinds, big and small.
From mice to monsters, this is their home. And they will fight for it.
But more men are becoming aware of these myths, more beasts are causing havoc near the wall, and the Hunters have gathered.
The Hunters do not care about the fact that many have disappeared in those forests, that it is said that all manners of Hell await them. Only that they hunt down the monsters within.

Meanwhile, one of these myths lives in two packs within the Forest.
Dragon-Shifters.
Beast to Human in a heartbeat.

Astra, the Pack on the Mountain, command abilities of all kinds, as do their kin, the Draven, the Pack of the Volcano.
From Lightning, to Wind, to Fire, to Ice.
The Astra have been there millennia, peacefully protecting their land and their people from the Hunters.
The Draven are new, and plan to ruin that peace by taking over the Astra land, to destroy them.

Astra, Draven, and the Hunters.
Three sides of a War.

Which will come out flying free?

Artemis Lunala - Alpha - Astra - Human Form
Euaion Nepenthe VioletShadow The Forgotten Host Kazig SRUNewman

Being the Alpha of a pack was just as difficult as Artemis always knew it would be. She'd risen to Beta, to be the old Alpha's most trusted warrior, but somehow she had never expected him to die so soon, to hand over the mantle of Alpha to the second strongest in the pack, Artemis. But here she was now, still relatively new to being an Alpha, despite having been so for around 7 years now. After all, Alpha's were usually decided when someone defeated the Alpha, so to be boosted from Beta to Alpha because of a death was... jarring. She'd had to keep her pack safe and happy, all the while caring for her child. Her child, who, two years ago, was presumed dead after one of Artemis's episodes during a storm.

She breathed a deep sigh, wondering why she was even thinking about this. Maybe it was because she had nothing else to think about right now, as she prepared breakfast for her pack, hands shaking but more than happy to provide for Astra. She cooked everyone's favourites, and more, knowing each of her pack mates all too well. She only hoped they didn't look too closely at their Alpha this morning, the shaking of her hands or the nervous energy of her feet. She could sense a storm coming, and she hoped it would wait until the end of the day, when she could go and hide in a locked room somewhere without anyone noticing.

Setting everything out on the huge table, she sighed. Everyone was still in bed, likely, but it was far past sunrise, and they needed to get up. Shifting for a moment, only to roar, a sound that echoed around the castle as a rather loud wake up call to breakfast, she returned to her human form with a sigh, shaking herself and putting a smile on her face. She couldn't let them know anything was wrong. She was meant to be the strong one after all.

Astaroth 'Ash' Smallclaw - Omega - Astra - Dragon Form
The Forgotten Host Kazig

Tucked with the other Omega, Al, and the one hatchling, Jukal, Ash was quite happily sleeping. Her tiny form was barely bigger than a hatchling itself, and she was attempting to curl around Jukal to keep him warm, despite her being a dragon who had ice powers and always ran cold. It was something she always seemed to forget, that she wasn't as warm as everyone else, that her curling up with others just made them cold. But... She also didn't want to sleep alone, away from the other Omega and Hatchling, whom all shared a rather large room. A room that she'd spent ages filling with all forms of soft materials, making a huge, warm nest upon a large bed for the Hatchlings that were cared for here.

The roar of the Alpha made her jolt awake, squeaking. The loud sound echoed for a moment, before it seemed to fade, and she groaned. As much as she loved food, she couldn't be bothered to move. She was comfortable. She snuggled down further, putting a paw over her eyes. Five more minutes wouldn't hurt.

Astiel Stormchaser - Warrior - Astra - Human Form

Being awoken by the Alpha's roar was nothing new, and so Astiel was expecting it. Curled up in bed, however, he hadn't at all been asleep. No, the mechanics of his leg were driving him insane, the phantom pains shooting through his entire body. Even in human form, he could feel the missing part of his tail, the damage to his wings. It was a bad day, and he didn't at all want to move. But... if he didn't show up, someone would come to find him, and he really didn't want anyone to know about his pain. Especially not either of the healers, who would probably only smother him, when he needed to be out helping the pack.

Rolling out of bed, grimacing, and pulling his clothes on, he glanced around at the other beds of the Warriors room. Once he was certain no one was watching, and he was hoping he hadn't missed something, he hobbled to his feet, gasping softly. It really was a bad day. He straightened, and started off down the hall to the dining hall, hoping to get there before anyone else so no one would notice the more pronounced limp of his steps this morning.

---

Leviathan 'Levi' Lunala - Hatchling - Draven - Dragon Form

Someone certainly wasn't in bed this morning, and that someone was Levi. He was playing, the little hatchling trying to focus his powers. He wanted to show the Alpha's that he was big and strong, that he could easily be a warrior any day now! He ran, speeding faster than the eye could see, through the walls. Unfortunately, he hadn't exactly got a hold of stopping, and he slammed into a wall more than once, whining softly. He shook himself, hoping no one had heard him, and set off again, wondering where everyone was.

Tawny - Omega - Draven - Human Form

Meanwhile, Tawny was having a breakdown. She'd lost Levi, her only charge! The little mischief maker had clearly ran off in the night, leaving the poor Omega to panic when she woke. She'd get in so much trouble for this! She was meant to take care of him, not lose him! She whimpered even as she thought about the punishment she'd gain if anyone found out. She called his name softly, desperately, as she wandered the halls, uncertain whether anyone else was up, but certain that she didn't want to be caught. She certainly didn't want Levi to be found by anyone else.

Styx Kagren - Beta - Draven - Human Form
VioletShadow

Wide awake and patrolling the halls before his pack woke, Styx was bored. Despite having his mate, Ophael, at his side all night, he'd just found that, as per usual, he couldn't sleep. He wondered where the Alpha's, Rima and Sherry, were. Maybe still asleep, maybe planning something to get the pack awake and ready. He didn't know, all he knew was he should probably return to his partners side before she woke and came to find him. She knew all too well about his sleepless nights, she'd probably know where he'd gone.

[VioletShadow]

Ignis Krayne - Elder - Astra - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

WolfOfProphecys
The bitter winds of the early morning awoke Ignis from his trance, moments before the Alphas roar resounded throughout the castle. He had awoken rather early that morning, in his lonesome room as the sole elder, and had propped up a chair on one of the balconies to watch the sunrise. It was always during those times that he was the most contemplative. This morning, he had been thinking about the past alpha. The one he never got to challenge before his legs were crippled for life. Even now, he misses his old rival. Artemis had risen up in his place, but it must have been difficult to be suddenly thrown the role of alpha. She has adjusted well though, at least from what he's seen.

Nonetheless, it was time to eat breakfast with the rest of the pack. Picking up his cane, he walked downstairs towards the dining room, his legs moving at a relatively normal and fluid pace unlike back when he was first crippled. He entered the dining room from the rear end, the opposite entrance to where his fellow pack members would usually enter from, as such he hadn't seen anyone yet. "Good morning Artemis." He greeted with a short nod, as he strolled towards the ornate table. "Thank you as always for the lovely meal." He smiled, as he carefully took a seat. Even after all these years, his legs still seemed to hurt, even if it was just a dull pain nowadays.

Ophael Elsti - Beta - Draven - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

WolfOfProphecys
Ophael lay silently awake, calmly aware of the coldness of the bed beside her. She wondered how many nights it'd been, before she last saw him take a well-deserved, comfortable rest. As always, she set out to look for him, hoping to comfort him anyway she could. The sun was shining, creating a false impression of warmness as the cold bit her skin once she climbed out of bed. Dressing warmly, wearing one of the matching shawls she had made for her and her loved one, she began wandering the halls.

Before long, the sound of repeated crashing caught her attention, followed by a child-like whining. There was only one little mischievous hatchling that could be... As she turned the corner, she tiredly watched the tiny dragon just as he was about to slam into a wall. With a quick hand gesture, a sudden wind blew around the black and orange hatchling, gently cushioning his crash. "Levi." She called softly, although still with authority in her tone. "Where is Tawny?" A quiet anger seemed to emit from her body.

Perhaps she wouldn't be so angry if there were more hatchlings to take care of, or if this was a different pack, but to the Draven, their sole hatchling meant a lot to them. The majority of the draven are female, and many are attracted to females. Of course, she had nothing against that, to be honest she thought Rima and Sherry were a lovely couple, its just that it meant that they had fewer couples that could reproduce. To be honest, the only couple at the moment that could in the Draven pack is Styx and herself... the thought caused her to flush a light pink, unlike her usual calm demanour. But, now is not the time for that. Styx isn't ready yet, especially not with his sleeplessness and guilt, and she would never force him to do something like that. Nonetheless, there were more pressing issues at hand. She had to find Tawny.

Sharline Milsh - Warrior - Astra - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

WolfOfProphecys
As more of a nightowl than the rest of the pack, mainly due to being more comfortable in the cooler evening temperatures, Sharline had gone to bed late last night. She recalled carefully walking around her fellow warrior, Astiel, whose mechanical leg seemed to be twitching in the darkness, before quietly falling asleep. At the time, she didn't think much of it, as she was rather fatigued after training her powers outside. Due to a lack of sleep, she was reluctant to wake up. The roar only caused her to wrap her blanket tighter around her body, as she heard the silent shuffling of movement out of the room. Maybe the twitching last night was my imagination, it sounded like he left the room okay... She thought to herself before dozing off again.

[SRUNewman]

Doran/Beta/Astra/Human Form: Doran always already awake when her heard the call for food. He always made a habit of waking up extremely early so he could train when he had the chance. He always makes sure he trains in both forms as to become strong enough to always protect the pack. Some members have thrown rumors in the past that he was preparing to take on the role of Alpha but that's farther from the truth. Artemis is doing just fine on and Doran plans to support her to the end. The pack always comes first to him and he knows whats best for it. he knows he would not be a good enough Alpha and could endanger the pack if he tried. Even when his temper sometimes led him into fights with others in the pack he hated in fighting and wanted to avoid it as much as possible.

After he finishes training he shifts in to his dragon form and heads over to the dining area. On his way to the dining hall he could see Astiel liming down the hall once Doran got closer to him he shifted back to human form. "Morning Astiel. Glad to see you are diligent as ever. How have things been, we haven't talk all that much as of recently." The continue walking right to the door of the dining hall.

Sherry/Alpha/Draven/Human Form: Sherry enjoyed one thing the most of all, sleep. This was sad on the account that she was hoping to sleep in a bit and have Rima deal with waking everyone up but sadly they agreed first awake has to make the wake up call. She got right out of bed changed into her dragon form and moved out of the room to go wake everyone up.

She walks out of the room and walks down the hall to see Ophael with Levi but to her surprise Tawny was no where in site. Obviously this sadly meant one thing Tawny has no idea where Levi is. She was a bit sad that she hadn't found Levi first as to throw a little blame away from Tawny though thinking that would not be a very responsible thing for an Alpha to do. She switches forms and walks up to Ophael "Good morning Ophael" She looks at Levi "Good morning Speedy" She looks back to Ophael. "I'm guessing we need to find Tawny, right. I'll tag along to try and help." She walks with Ophael and Levi but picks up Levi to see if he was injured at all. He had a few scraps and bruises but she uses her healing magic and heals those right up. "So how has Styx been I'm assuming he's walking the grounds at this moment."

Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi - Omega - Astra - Human Form
WolfOfProphecys Kazig ​

The elderly dragon's eye crept open at the Alpha's roar. He smiled, feeling his stomach rumble. She couldn't have announced breakfast at a better time. He was jonesing for something to eat. As he shifted, he noticed two youngling snuggled into his tall frame. Al never fancied his bony frame as anything worth nesting on, but who was he to complain? He noticed quite a bit of frost on his old shawl. He was used to being cold so he didn't mind. The little one looked to comfy after all. And Omegas need to stick together.

Luckily the youngling on the other side was much warmer in comparison. He first met the little troublemaker from when he first arrived in the castle a year ago. The 'water bucket on door' prank. Classic. Though it didn't give the ancient Omega a good first impression, what with it being the entrance gate being rigged for the prank. Artemis, their alpha, gave the poor thing quite the scolding, something Al did his best to keep a straight face through out. He was sure the trap was for someone else in the castle. It was funny, though. After he was invited as a guest in the castle, the two grew close.

His stomach rumbled again louder. "Oh bother." He smiled mischievously, an idea festering in his old mind. "Well, time I get back at the boy." Sticking his fingers in his mouth, he let out a loud whistle. Something he learned from the Wyverns up North. "Wakey wakey, If I miss breakfast, you two are on the menu!"

Rima Jivika - Alpha - Draven - Human Form
WolfOfProphecys SRUNewman ​

Rima laid in her bed long after her mate had walked out. She had awakened far earlier than Sherry, but she didn't bother getting out of bed. It was one of those days. Her mind went to her small Pack. Healthy in numbers, but smaller than the neighboring Astra. And mostly women who preferred kinship with other women. Her future numbers never looked well to her. Who was she to place blame on others? Her mate was female as well. She took a deep sigh.

Sherry... Rima didn't know why she proposed to the healer. They were nothing alike. She didn't even share her hatred of humans, Rima's one driving force. Rima was ruthless, apathetic, ambitious; all the qualities of a great leader if any. Sherry was kind, loving, beautiful, nurturing, motherly, caring, forgiving, tender- Rima suddenly remembered why she proposed. But why did the healer accept? It was a proposal out of the blue after all. The two only new each other in professional terms before that. It was just the way she presented herself that got Rima.
They didn't even converse all that much, even after they declared their kinship to the much astonished pack. Rima wondered dreadingly, did Sherry think she was in a loveless kinship? The dragoness sighed sitting up. The healer probably had to weigh her options before she said yes. After all, who would say no to the Alpha?. Would she run off with another dragoness if the opportunity came to pass. Rima didn't like the thought. She would have to stop her, make an example of insubordination.

Rima steeled herself. It was no use sulking over what-ifs. It was cold outside and the pack needed their alpha. She opened the window and leaped out. It took her a few seconds longer than most dragons to reach her dragon state, and by the gods it hurt. But she was a towering colossus soon after, coiling around the castle. Her body emanated with heat, warming the occupants within. She could see the Astra castle in the far distance, her molten eyes narrowed. "Styx. To my counsel."

The call for morning meal had alarmed Niri quite a lot since she was in the middle of focusing on a batch of remedies she was brewing for the past few weeks. She looks up from her work area and sees the sun slowly climbing up the sky. The healer hadn't been up all night has she? She sighs, feeling exhausted and quite tired and exerted from her long hours of focus. However, food should give her enough boost for the day. The woman stands up, tall and slim with her nightly robes and doesnt bother to change, thinking she will come back after she had her meal. Though she did bring a box filled with bottles of enchanted liquids with each of the tribe members name on it. It was their monthly time for a check up and she had prepared them new bottles of their usual medicine or basic remedies.

She strolled out from her living area and met up with her box carried gently in front of her. Her steps were mostly silent against the stone flooring, the only sound that alerted others of her presence was the light clanking of glass bottles moving around in the wood box. Given her robes and cool expression, she seemed almost like a ghost wandering around the not so well lit halls until she reaches the dining area. "Good morning you both." She greets her alpha and elder politely, smiling softly. She takes a seat and sets down her box, swiftly pulling out bottles with Ignis's name and Artemis as well. Artemis had only one bottle, with hers producing a strange glow to it while Ignis had a more subtle hue of pink with no glow. In fact, almost every other bottle had looked different, saves for some labeled 'general'. "Here are your medicine bottles, you two." She hands them their bottles, "take only when needed for pain, Ignis - but take a little more if you are in the middle of harder labor." She says to the elder before looking towards Artemis. "Take this only when needed, but i suggest taking it now." The woman says with a knowing voice. "And come see me later when you are finished with your duties." She adds.

After which, she takes her meal a bit closer to her and gives a quiet thank you, smiling at the smell of her food. This is certainly an improvement from the last alpha (with all due respect, they were a terrible cook).

Artemis Lunala - Alpha - Astra - Human Form
VioletShadow

Lifting her head as Ignis walked in, Artemis smiled warmly in greeting of the Elder, "Good morning Ignis. How are you this morning?" She asked politely, as always concerned for those in her pack. Ignis especially, since she knew he was often in pain. She hated that she couldn't help him except to support him when he needed her, as a good Alpha should, and she wished she had the power to fix his problems. But she didn't, and her only power also had the drawback of making her crazy, so she certainly didn't think she was of any use to him. Except to cook him breakfast, of course.

She settled herself at the head of the table, knowing that all of her pack usually took the seats closest to her, though they filled less than half of the ridiculously big table. It was a reminder that the pack used to be bigger. Used to be stronger. She was startled from her thoughts, not even touching the food she'd set out for the others, as Niri walked in. She smiled again, bowing her head a little to the Healer, returning her greeting. Seeing the box though, Artemis grimaced, though quickly schooled her features into indifference. If she fought the Healer, it wouldn't be a very good example. She took her bottle warily, looking silently at it before downing it in one gulp, at the Healers advice.

Nothing could truly stop Artemis's crazed episodes when a storm came, but she was more than aware that the Healer kept trying to make something to at least calm the effects. Usually it helped with the twitchy feelings she got when a storm was coming in, and she nodded her thanks, "As always, Niri, I don't know what I'd do without you." She hummed, teasingly, "Thank you."

Astiel Stormchaser - Warrior - Astra - Human Form
SRUNewman

Astiel was rather ashamed to admit that he didn't even notice Doran appearing behind him, focused primarily on putting one foot in front of the other. He was clearly trying to hide the pain he was in, fingers trembling in the tight fists he held them in, and he jumped as the Beta spoke. The Beta. If Doran noticed that Astiel was hurting... What would happen? Would he stop Astiel from helping? Send him to the Healers? None of those looked appealing. Healers smothered him, and Astiel couldn't stand to not be helping his pack. No, Astiel would just have to do a better job at hiding it.

He smiled, looking up at the Beta, not about to admit that he was only ever so diligent because he was usually awoken by pain, "Doran! I-It is nice to see you, properly. I've been perfectly fine, thank you for asking." He stuttered, nervous that the other would see through his lies, "I was just going to breakfast... I assume that's where you're going too?" And oh, now Astiel was rambling, and stating the obvious.

Levi was more than surprised when, as he slammed his eyes shut as he attempted to stop in front of a wall and not in it, he was cushioned by a curl of air, which seemed to encompass his little body. He squealed, then relaxed, peering sheepishly up at Ophael, shrinking against the floor as she spoke, seeming angry. He didn't know who she was angry at, but he was quick to try and tell her why he was out so early, by himself, "Tawny was asleep! She wouldn't wake up to come and play so... so I went out by myself! I'm big now, I don't need her!" He chirped up at the Beta, flapping his wings as if to prove it.

He giggled when, after Sherry arrived, he was scooped into her arms. He snuggled happily into Sherry's hold, crooning, "Heya Sherry!"

Styx Kagren - Beta - Draven - Human Form
The Forgotten Host

Wandering the castle was a boring task, but one that cleared Styx's mind. On some bad nights, it even helped tire him out enough that he could actually sleep for a while. He always felt bad for leaving his mate's side, but he never wanted to disturb her with his own problems, no matter how much they tired the Beta out and left him running on fumes. His illusions, cast around himself, hid the paleness of his skin, the dullness of his scales, the bags under his eyes. But even they were struggling, and he knew if someone pushed hard enough to look at him properly... they'd easily see.

Hearing the call of his Alpha, he put all of his energy into running outside, following her scent. He too shifted, looking up at her gigantic form, flapping his own wings. He could easily make himself as big, with his illusions, but there was no point. He didn't need, or want, to intimidate his own Alpha, and he doubted just growing his size would work. He huffed softly, flapping his wings to fly to a spot on the castle where he as almost eye level with her.

"You called, Alpha?"

Aidynet Xodror - Warrior - Draven - Human Form
​

The eldest warrior was sitting in his friend's personal area, that was lined with human decorations and knickknacks. A small smile graced his lips under his thick bushy beard. Though, it was shortly lived as he remembered why he was here. The older healer hadn't been back in a few days, while that was completely normal for him to get lost- He couldn't help but worry for him.

Looking around, he began snooping in the cabinets. He did this often when the healer went missing, not exactly stealing anything. His intentions were pure, as he began getting the ingredients for the tea that the healer consumed on a hourly basis. It seemed he couldn't get enough of the stuff. After some preparations, and some quiet waiting, he poured two cups. He had made the unwise decision of getting two fragile cups, while the healer could easily carry them in human and dragon form--The warrior had some trouble in both.

He began to walk around the castle, not being able to cover much ground in his human form. Though, even a dull dragon like him knew transforming would mean breaking the cups Keiddraid simply adored. With a grumpy expression, he walked a great distance without saying a word. He knew that the old healer would be able to smell tea a few miles away, since it had happened before. This was a good strategy to lead him home if he was in their territory.

He had walked by a few dragons in their human forms, not paying much attention as he continued moving the cups around in a circular motion; trying to get the scent into the air as much as possible. The things he did for that old coot.

Keiddraid Uzenth - Healer - Draven - Dragon Form
​

Needless to say, he was lost. Very lost. He had been wondering around different areas for what felt like ages. He wasn't exactly in distress, but more worried than anything. What if he missed something important? Along with the fact he'd probably upset the alphas again, but he really couldn't help it, he had no directional skills. He slowly crept around the forest like area he was in, fearing he might of stumbled upon Astra territory. Wherever it was, everything looked the same wherever he went.

Last time this happened he was gone for two weeks and a few warriors had to lead him back home, poor old dragon. He was too nice to stay mad at but his constant senile ways could annoy some. He wasn't even at the age where he should be going senile, maybe the leaves growing took some of his life-force? A plausible thought to have in the middle of the forest. Then he smelt the faint whiff of herbal tea.

Almost like his youthful vigor was restored, his wings began to expand and he lifted off into flight.

"I'm as well as can be, I suppose." He chirped back merrily. "How about you Alpha? Did you sleep well?" He inquired as he turned away from her to stare at the large array of dishes at the table. As always there was a range from simple salad greens to lightly toasted bread chunks. Most of it appeared quite light, fitting for an early breakfast start. However, as was usually the case in these chilly mornings, he enjoyed a simple small slow-roasted fish, which his alpha remembered well. As he pulled his plate towards him, he heard the tell-tale sound of bottles clinking in the hallway, growing closer as the healer in question entered the room.

"Good morning Niri, and thank you." He greeted politely, figuring out what day it was from the sounds, without needing to look up. Carefully retrieving the delicate glass bottle, he gave her a quick smile before beginning on his meal. In the past, he used to try and wait for everyone to gather before eating, but considering the fact that some were usually busy, or away, or sleeping in, he decided it wasn't worth it.

Ophael smiled at the playfulness of the young hatchling. "You have certainly grown a lot. Although I don't quite think you are adult size just yet." She ruffled his hair fondly, before noticing the alpha down the hallway. "Good morning alpha." She bowed slightly. "Thank you for your assistance." She responded, as she watching the young hatchling be scooped up into her arms. Her ears caught Rimas call, although it was only for Styx. She grew concerned about why he was singled out, but she was sure he'd be fine

As they headed back to the nursery, where Tawny should ideally be found, Ophael found herself zoning out in her thoughts. She was used to having time alone, but now as the beta female, she feels she has responsibilities to uphold, and she wasn't sure how to feel about them. Sherrys question suddenly brought her out of her trance. "Oh, well he's been alright I guess. He was just called by Rima, so I'm sure he's making her way over to her." She didn't want to particularly say much about Styx, not because she didn't like him, but because it wasn't her place to say. He had been rather secretive with his problems, and she was fine with that, so it's not like she's going to tell everyone else about his problems. That would just be disrespectful. She resolved to be there if he needed a shoulder to lean on, or perhaps even someone to finally divulge to, but if not she would just be by his side, supporting him.

As they finally located Tawny, who appeared to have been looking for her sole hatchling. Ophael waited to hear Sherrys judgement and punishment. She was the alpha afterall.​

Val wandered aimlessly through the halls of the Draven castle, looking for something of worth to do. She had woken up several hours earlier to take her early morning watch, only to find when she tried to return to bed it was already to light out to fall back asleep. She grumbled a greeting to Aidynet as she passed him in the halls, but just walk right by not even registering. It seemed that everyone had something to do this morning. She irritably rubbed her eyes and glared at the all too bright sun creeping through an open castle window. There was probably still some time before Rima called for breakfast, maybe she should take a walk outside, wake up a little. Val turned around in the hall and started walking towards the nearest exit.

Jukal - Hatchling - Astra - Dragon Form

Jukal's eyes popped open with a start. Suddenly very awake, he jolted away from the soft nest, spurred on by Al's mock threat. "Ahh, don't eat me!" he shouted fearfully as he rushed out of the hatchery, an excited squeak escaping from his mouth. He ran so fast he smacked into the wall as he rounded the turn into the hallway. He bounded forward gaining distance away from the door, but then skidded to a halt. He looked back from where he came, and hesitantly ran back.

At the nest he quickly started tugging at the still sleeping Ash. He leaned down and said in a hushed voice, "Ash, come on! Wake up sleepy! Al said that if we don't go eat breakfast now, he's going to eat US for breakfast!"​

niri had given a small nod to both of them, "most likely off getting yourselves in trouble." she joked, taking a bite of bread after she had the put some fresh jam on it. she ate pretty light, often times wouldn't even eat in the dining room because she has various of berries she snacks on throughout the day. she needed little to sustain herself, but she admittedly wasn't eating like she used to. niri waited for others to like in so she could give out the medicine, but she made note of those who she would have to see personally, like astiel and the little hatchling. there was also a certain night owl to check on soon enough too.

 

[SRUNewman]

Doran/Beta/Astra/Human Form: He notices that Astiel Was nervous around him at the moment probably because he was trying to hide the fact he was in pain. Doran thought it best to not bring it up because he knows how it can be for someone with severe injuries. He decides not to press Astiel. "Well, I'm glad to hear you have no problems, but we both are pretty hungry, I am that's for sure. We probably shouldn't let our Alpha wait any longer." With that, he opens the dining room doors and sees a grouping of his fellow dragons. It seemed Ignis, Niri and Artemis have already made it for food. "Artemis Loud as ever I see. Lovely call I must say, always warms the blood so early in the morning." He says jokingly will a slight chuckle.

It was the morning that Doran enjoyed the most. He always loved being with his pack, his family. Even though everyone knew of his temper they still seemed to enjoy his company or at least he hopes they do. He sits close to Ignis and ready to eat.

Sherry/Alpha/Draven/Human Form: Levi was a squirmer that's for sure. he did not know how to not always be on the move. Though Sherry could tell he was calming while in her arms. She enjoyed his company and he almost felt like her child. She wishes she had a child but that's not very easy when married to another woman. Even knowing this Sherry said yes to Rima because Sherry say good in her and even though Rima had a temper sherry knew she could help keep her calm and prosper as the rightful Alpha she is. It does sound like Sherry bonded with Rima for business only but that isn't really true Sherry did always have a crush on Rima and she felt almost instantly when she first met her partner and connection.

The three of them finally found Tawny and Sherry knew that it was up too her to decide on a punishment. Honestly, she didn't want to, Sherry knows that Levi can be a handful. But she knew it wouldn't be proper of the Alpha to not reprimand her even just a little. "Tawny, I'm glad to see we found you. I believe you lost Levi." She sets Levi on the ground. And puts a hand on Tawny's shoulder. "I've never been much for punishments but I will say I'm unhappy with you not keeping Levi more secure with you. Tawny as the Omega you need to make sure you follow the orders given to you to the best of your ability and do not let this happen. It looks bad for us as Alphas and our leadership and it looks worse for you as the Omega" She takes a breath. "I'm letting you off with this if you let this happen again Rima will be the first to know and she is very good with her punishments." She walks over to Ophael. "I'm off to the dining hall it seems Rima is awake and ready for the day." She looks to Levi "Now mister, make sure you don't run off away from Tawny again or you will be in trouble too. Understand." She waits a bit for the Hatchlings response and then she leaves for the dining hall.

Al blinked. That worked a bit too well. Oh well, you win some, you scar some for life. He chuckled nudging the child still accumulating frost on his shawl. "I'm going to the mess hall. But you best listen to the youngster" He joked, slipping out of bed. She was a delicate little flower, nothing like the ancient Omega in his youth. His joints popped and cracked. A storm was approaching. He remembered that the alpha did not take pleasantly to those. It let out her feral side, something that Al could relate to. The elderly dragon stayed as long as he did only because of Artemis. She had experienced loss like him and saw much of her in his younger self.

Making his way into the mess hall, he greeted everyone inside. He tried his best to be cordial. They had welcomed him with open arms, but he was never formally recognized as a member. Al wanted to be sure that he wanted to be part of another pack after decades as a travelling vagabond. He was a guest after all. "Good morning everyone, milady Alpha." He regarded her softly. This Alpha was also a cook, and a good one at that. The cook in his old pack didn't know much in terms of cooking aside from gruel.

Styx was one of the greater warriors in the pack, the kind capable of challenging the Alpha if he wished. Rima knew where his loyalty lied. So she trusted him more than most. "Go to my room. There is a letter I penned for Artemis Lunala last night in my study. Deliver it to the Alpha and no other. If they show hostility, I can trust you will be more than capable of evasion." She looked at Astra Castle in the far distance. "Do not open the letter. You will learn of its contents when the Alpha reads it. If not then, when you return." What the dragoness was planning was in her mind for the longest time. She didn't even tell her mate yet; though she didn't tell her mate much to begin with. "Are we clear?"

Next, the colossal dragonness sent a telepathic communication to her second trusted Beta. "Opheal, gather the Draven to the mess hall for breakfast. Tell them their mistress is about to make an important announcement soon. I expect all to be present." The castle was warm enough now, but the alpha dragoness still needed to survey the surroundings. She would arrive at the mess hall after everyone else was present.

niri looked up from her plate and have a smile to the three guests that had entered the dining all. "Good morning you three." she says with her usual gentle voice. her hand rests on the wooden box of remedies, "I have prepared some extra pain killers and relaxers for everyone," she says. "Please help your self to a bottle that is labeled without a name. And as for you," she looks to Astiel, her eyes sharp and knowing. her hand delicately picks out his bottle, having a bright strong gleam to it and hands it to him. "Do not try to hide from me or Elbyrram, unless you want to get an earful from both of us." she says quite pointedly.

her eyes were a brilliant hue of blue that seemes to glow even if she were still in her human form, making it seem a bit eerie. but her expression softens, as well as this glow, making it seem like a harmless light that is reflected from the rising sunlight through the windows. "We all must take care of ourselves before we take care of others," she tells Astiel with such a delicate tone. in truth, she didn't like to hinder ones independence, but pushing yourself too hard and ignoring your bodies needs will one day be your downfall. the poor thing had enough to deal with already.

the healer then looked between Al and Doran, raising a slim brow to them. they looked fine, but Al is a spirited one - often getting in trouble with his little games. while Doran seemingly never gives himself a break in training. the stress they both put on their bodies makes the woman worry to death. its surprising how she doesnt have a single silver hair yet at this age with this stress. "You both are taking care of yourselves, yes?" she asks, but quickly follows up with "and if i hear a no, I will personally drag you to the healers den." niri practically threatens them.

Ophael sighed. One of her alphas seemed too lenient, by her standards anyway. But she let the matter go, with a sharp look towards Tawny. "Take care of him." She ordered tiredly. As she began walking away, a fiery voice resounded in her mind. Alpha Rima. "As you wish." She replied telepathically, before heading to the dining hall. She couldn't help but sigh once more as a realization dawned on her. Since Rima was busy warming the castle and most likely keeping watch, deduced from looking at the magma scales outside the windows, and Sherry was just with her, no one had actually prepared breakfast. Turning on her heel, she hurried to the kitchen instead, hoping to quickly make something simple. It wasn't her first time cooking, but she worried about creating something satisfactory nonetheless.

Swiftly, she took a loaf of bread and sliced it up into even pieces, before laying them on a plate. She brought out a few jars of different jams and honey, and brought the little bread selection out to the dining hall. Then, she lightly cooked some ham and prepared some small butter chunks on another plate, and brought that out too. For the sweeter toothed dragons, she put together a bowl of berries and fruits as well. She was just about to transform, when she realized a drink would be ideal for the meal as well. The little hurried perfectionist quickly brought out a jug of goats milk and laid the cups around the dining table.

"Phew." She smiled momentarily at her swift triumph. Off to the side of the dining hall, she transformed into her amphithere form, her wings carefully tucked away in order to not break anything, and roared loudly. Usually in the mornings, they heard either Rimas ferocious roar, or occasionally Sherrys delicate one, but this time an urgent cat-like roar resounded throughout the castle.

It would be difficult to tell everyone telepathically that their mistress would be giving an announcement today, so she resigned herself to wait for everyone first. Some may be sleeping in, but if they are, she'd have to go and drag them here herself. She sat herself down on the third seat from the head, leaving room for Sherry to sit on one side of Rima, and Styx on the other.

Artemis smiled softly at Ignis, "I slept well, thank you. All the hunting yesterday wore me out." She returned with a cheerful hum. In truth, she hadn't slept well at all, on edge from the storm she knew was coming, but no one truly needed to know that. It was one good thing about being the Alpha, she could be up making breakfast at the crack of dawn, so she had every reason to be wide awake at that time, where as she might question others.

She spluttered at Niri's joke, whining like a child, "I never get myself in trouble Niri! I'm the Alpha! I'm a good example!" She told her, joking. She relaxed the most when she was surrounded by her pack, allowing the strict position's responsibilities to fade away whilst she could just be happy with her people. She looked up as Doran, her Beta, and Astiel walked in. She narrowed her gaze at the limp the latter was sporting, concerned but knowing Niri would likely also spot it in a heartbeat. And, well, she also knew Niri would tell Artemis if Astiel needed to be taken off of duties due to the pain he experienced. She trusted her pack.

She looked to Doran, rolling her eyes, "I wouldn't have to roar if all of your lazy tails could get here on time by themselves." She teased them all, shaking her head, greeting Al as he settled down with them also.

"Now, who are we missing? Elbyrram? Sharline? Jukal? Ash?" She questioned, "Has anyone seen them?"

Ash, who only curled up tighter at Al's mock threat, well aware he'd be in trouble if he dared eat them, which she knew he wouldn't. She felt him get up, whining softly under her breath as his warmth left her cold side. She might not get along well with heat, but she liked it. It was, however, when the hatchling returned and urged her to hurry, the female cracked open an eye, "He won't eat me, Jukal, I'm too tiny and boney. However... you'll grow big, then he can eat you." She teased, slowly getting up with a stretch, purring softly.

The warrior nodded to the Beta, limping after him carefully. He hoped that neither of the Healers were there, so he could sit down before they saw. Because he knew they'd try and make him see sense if they even noticed him limping a little more than usual. So, when he walked in and saw Niri, with her set of bottles, he inwardly groaned. No getting out of it then. Not the he'd ever actually gotten out of it. He supposed having a missing, and now mechanical, limb, and other issues in his dragon form, meant that they were very likely to keep an eye on him.

He obediently took his bottle from her, dipping his head in embarrassment as she pointed out that he should never try and hide his problems from the Healers. He looked at the bottle, debating whether he needed to take it now or not. Niri hadn't said and... it wasn't that bad. Well... Maybe it was, but he didn't like thinking like that. Instead, when she wasn't looking, he slipped it into is pocket and hoped she hadn't noticed.

Levi was more than happy in Sherry's arms, snuggled close with a happy purr. He loved the cuddles, and it was what he assumed it would feel like if his mother would carry him. His mother, whom he didn't know, though he wished he had. She must have been a strong Draven member, he assumed, who would have died in a ferocious battle, maybe against one of the Astra. He wiggled as he spotted Tawny, beaming in delight at her.

Tawny, however, looked horrified to see Levi in the arms of the Alpha. Relief quickly appeared on her face when she realised he was safe, and she rushed forward, knowing she was going to be punished but the worry for her charge making her move. She tensed when Sherry spoke, picking Levi up into her arms as he was placed down, cuddling the child close as he nuzzled into her neck in greeting. She tensed, frightened now of her punishment, but calmed as Sherry mentioned letting her off.

"O-Oh! Thank you Alpha! I won't disappoint you again, I promise!" She chirped shakily, holding Levi closer as even he whined at Sherry, "B-But Tawny isn't fast enough to keep up with me!" He argued, before a look from Tawny made him shy down, "O-Okay...."

The illusionist nodded, bowing his head to the Alpha despite his wariness of going anywhere near the enemy pack. But he'd obey his Alpha at any time, he just hoped his own mate wouldn't be angry if something bad happened, "It will be done Alpha." He rumbled, before leaping back down, shifting, and disappearing to retrieve the letter. Slipping it in a bag, he shifted again, gripping the leather between his teeth as he headed out of the castle, careful to avoid everyone, using his illusions to hide. He was on a mission, he didn't need to be asked questions about where he was going.

Taking flight, he headed toward Astra castle. For two rivalling packs, they truly weren't far apart, especially not by air. He did his best to hide himself from being spotted by the other pack, if they were watching, by using his power, but his exhaustion meant that it would probably be see-through at this point. Landing just outside the giant door, he debated what he should do. Ram straight in? Or call?

Deciding that announcing his presence would hopefully get less of a hostile reaction, he roared as loud as possible, hoping they didn't see it as a challenge, and shifted back into human form, bag over his shoulder.​

Al looked at the painkillers supplied by Niri. He had stalk piled quite a stash, never really bothering to use it. He never asked for the healer to make them for him, she just had pride in her craft. His knees ached, but they were always like that. His body was at the ideal condition for a man his age. His dragon form was deceptively young and vibrant the last time he used it. But that was three years ago. "You are too kind, Doctor. Though no offence to you, but I prey I never have to use them." The old dragon took a seat and helped himself to some bread. He regarded Dorran, a capable warrior of the Astra. Al was in the mood to poke fun at him. But before he could take a bite and crack a joke, Al's ears perked up. "I hear someone at the main gate."

Rima Jivika - Alpha - Draven - Dragon Form
WolfOfProphecys VioletShadow SRUNewman ​

No threat in sight. Rima was sure of it now. The massive dragoness sighed, at Styx who was all but a tiny speck in the distance. She knew he was capable, but part of berated her decision to send him home. Shifting into her human form, she closed the window to the door and made her way to the banquet hall. She was the only one there it seemed. "What a bother..." She mused, taking her seat next to her mate's empty one. She knew what she had to say was controversial. Some of the pack would not appreciate it. Others would actively hate it. She sank in her chair, the biggest one in the hall. Waiting for her pack to arrive, she rehearsed what she had to say in her mind. It was never a good sign if the alpha disagreed with her own decree

She looked down at Sherry's seat. Rima's eyes narrowed. This was all for her...

 

[SRUNewman]

Doran/Beta/Astra/Human Form: He was really enjoying the time at this hall in the morning he always thanked Niri for the medicine and he always used what was given to him. Not worrying about the pain of combat was always helpful Al seemed of high spirits and even though he was the Omega, Doran always enjoyed the talks the two of them had. Soon Al said he heard someone at the front gate and so did Doran. He was worried about an attack and without thinking or waiting for anyone else he ran toward the window of the castle. He jumped out and was caught by a boulder he used the boulder to move quickly to the front gate.

Once he got to the gate he saw a someone that worried him the most. He saw the Beta of the Draven Styx. Once the boulder was close to Styx Doran jumped off and the boulder fell down the cavern. He walked up to Styx closer to extreme anger. "Why are you here Styx. You're pretty far from your home. I hope this was important enough to disturb us this morning."

Sherry/Alpha/Draven/Human Form: Sherry finally made it to the hall and saw Ophael and Rima there but not Styx and the rest. Oh well, it is probably best that most of the betas and Alphas were there before the rest of the pack. She saw that there was a seat for her next to Rima and she took the seat smiled at Rima and gave her a kiss. "Sorry I took so long Something came up and I wanted to make sure it was all good before I made it my way here." She looked to Ophael. "I'm sorry you had to call the pack I was supposed to get that done today but thank you for doing it while I was not in the hall." She smiles at Ophael. "So where is Styx he is usually here pretty early as well."

Aidynet Xodror - Warrior - Draven - Human Form
​

Aidnyet was glad to hear the flapping of uncoordinated wings outside of the castle. However, this happiness soon faded when a crash was heard and the skittering of claws was heard across the floor. He was sure Keiddraid was okay, but it was a bit funny how clumsy a dragon who was a healer nonetheless could be. Soon enough he saw the disproportional figure step into the hall he was standing idly in. A huge grin arose on his goofy dragon form as he came closer to Aidynet.

The shifted dragon chuckled and held both cups in front of him. The healer had an absurdly long neck for his little body, but he only ever used it for drinking tea or eating leaves--A strange dragon indeed. After a few gulps, both of the cups were empty and the dragon was licking his lips. A moment of silence was brought between the two only to be broken by a familiar toned roar.

The warrior sighed before walking off. He wasn't going to go to them just yet, first he would return the cups to their proper home; and he did so. It took a few minutes, but he decided it was well worth it, even cleaning them out before securing them in their case with several others that were similar in their cute appearance. Walking out of the healers personal area and into the more open part of his room, he then shifted into his dragon form. With a few seconds spent getting his sweater on, he then begrudgingly began to walk towards the dining hall.

His tail made an unpleasant noise as it was dragged across the regal floors, his claws following suit. When he arrived in the hall, he kept his eyes narrowed to the floor and simply grunted out a greeting.

Keiddraid Uzenth - Healer - Draven - Dragon Form

Keiddraid had landed outside of the castle doors, seeing a silhouette fly off into the distance. Strange-- He didn't know anyone was going out this early in the morning. His thoughts were cut short as he slammed into a wall while he was attempting to walk. Maybe he should look in the general direction he was heading rather than the sky. He rubbed off the pain and began to follow the scent of the unidentified herbal tea.

To his delight, he indeed saw his old friend holding two cups of tea filled to the brim with light brown liquid. When the warrior held out the cups to him he couldn't help but slurp them both down with vigor within seconds. It was in fact, very delicious. Not as good as the ones that are left to sit for days on end, but still delicious. He smiled at the human formed dragon, about to let out a groan of appreciation before a roar was heard.

He looked around, speculating the time. He then looked back down where the warrior should be, but it seems he was quickly off- In the wrong direction it seems. Keiddraid shrugged it off, and began to walk towards the dining hall. Entering the grand hall, he greeted all of which were present. Along with a special greeting for the Alpha.
" Nice to see you up early, Alpha. " He mused in a kind telepathic tone. " What seems to be bothering you? "

Even without touching her, he could sense something was wrong; but he kept it quiet for the time being. He would diagnose her later. He took a seat next to the heavy warrior dragon who had refused to talk.​

the healer let out little delicate laughs, enjoying the jokes being passed about eachother. she gently laid a hand on Astiels shoulder and gave an apologetic look for scolding him with everyone around. she just doesn't want others to push themselves so hard since the pack is all they have. niri didnt see him slip the bottle into his pocket as she turned to Al, "I know i know. You are far too great for my medicine." she sighs, feigning hurt as she puts a hand over her chest with a hurt face. her face breaks out into a bright smile but its replaced with alertness and concern. she heard the roar as well. "Doran wait!" she callrd out to him as he swiftly acted on his feet, leaping out the window. niri gets up quickly, moving to the window where Doran lept from and saw from her perch the shifter from the Draven tribe. "Its someone from the Draven tribe." she tells the others, but she noticed that Doran is being hostile again - seeing how she can see his aggressive stance. "Oh dear..." she mumbles.

Ignis Krayne - Elder - Astra - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

Ignis smiled at their alphas response, blinded by her impression of a capable alpha and oblivious to her struggles. He listened to the playful banter going on, as he quietly began to finish up his meal. "Haven't seen anyone, though I guess that's a given since I've been on the balcony since sunrise." He commented calmly, knowing that gathering everyone has always been a struggle.

As he took the last bite of his meal, an unfamilar roar pierced his eardrums. Quickly the room seemed to explode into action, although Ignis remained relatively peaceful as he walked over towards the window, beside Niri. Considering the fact that the draven dragon had roared to announce their presence, Ignis was pretty sure that he didn't have malicious intent. He simply waited to see how the scene would play out, although he was ready to head over to the children to comfort and protect them if need be. Well, be as re-assuring as he could anyway.

Ophael Elsti - Beta - Draven - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

As her fellow pack members trickled in, Ophael nodded at each of them politely. She pondered momentarily at her alphas question. "Not sure, where did you send him Rima?" She asked acutely, having put two and two together and figuring out that Styxs absence must be related to his calling earlier. Ophael has always been a little protective of Styx, perhaps due to his delicate mentality, as such, she was a little concerned.

Noticing the absence of a certain hatchling and omega, Ophael quickly left the room in search of them. Noticing that they were in the exact same spot as earlier, she ordered them to the dining hall. "Did you not hear my call Tawny? Come now." She gestured them to follow as she led them to their destination.

Sharline Milsh - Warrior - Astra - Human Form

Spoiler: Appearance

Another roar tore Sharline away from her blissful rest, turning her mood sour. Perhaps most of all compared to the other pack members, Sharline detests having her rest disturbed. However, at the realization that the roar seemed foreign, she peeked out the window at the unfamilar face. A draven perhaps? Intrigued and concerned, she dressed swiftly and made her way outside. Afterall, the draven pack was the sole reason she joined the astra. One might think she was furious, looking at her rushed dishevelled grumpy appearance, although in reality she really wasn't. Her eyes stared icily at the boy, wondering if she'd have an opportunity to talk to him.

Hearing the roar, Artemis was instantly on her feet, moments behind her Beta, who had indeed been closer to the window. She looked back, glancing at the others, eyes darting between them, "Stay here. Find the others, protect the hatchlings. Be prepared." She ordered, directing it mostly toward the older dragons and healers, then glancing to the only warrior remaining in the room, "Astiel, with me. If this is an attack..." She rumbled, nodding and shifting to fly out the window, letting her large wings open so she could follow her Beta, landing beside him. Growling at Styx, she didn't even bother to shift back, well aware of his illusions and lies from her previous encounters with him, "Speak. What are your intentions?" She snarled, letting electricity spark over her wings.

Styx seemed unbothered by either, rolling his eyes as he shifted back into his dragon form, to snarl back at the Alpha, "I'm here to deliver a message. One I don't even know the contents of. Call your dogs off, Artemis, or they'll become the next meal of the Draven." He threatened, opening his wings in a challenge. After all, Styx was itching for a fight.

Well aware of his orders, and knowing shifting would make the pain even worse, the warrior nodded. A glance to the others assured him, and he shifted with a roar. A roar that may have sounded like an agreement with his Alpha, that he was ready, but that was truly from pain. He jumped out the window, using his wings as little as possible and simply gliding around to land beside his Alpha, growling. The challenge of Styx to his Alpha didn't go unnoticed, and he opened his own pained wings with a snarl, ready to fight for his pack despite the phantom pains that made his limbs shake.

Tawny was busy mumbling to Levi, telling him that she was never going to let him out of her sight again, when Ophael turned up. She blushed, realising she had indeed ignored the Beta, and mumbled her quick, worried apologies. She hurried toward the dining room, keeping her head down. She made no eye contact with anyone, she wasn't worthy enough for that. She set Levi in a high chair, and settled next to him as his caretaker.​

The ancient Omega nodded at the Alpha. He wasn't part of the pack, but he was not vain enough to ignore such order. "Behind me children, I l will lead the way." He hurried down the hallway, as fast as his legs could take him. He would have been faster in his dragon form, but Al new better than to take that kind of a risk. They stopped in front of a window looking down at the events taking place at the gate. Things were beginning to escalate. Would he have to fight? No. If this was an invasion, there would be a greater number of them. That was for sure. Ignis was with the lot, but he was in no condition to fight. Al furrowed his brow. What are you doing, bachay? This Draven was all too happy to engage in combat, but it seemed he was indeed a diplomatic mission.

Al had happened by the Draven before the Astra. But he did not appreciate her war-ready philosophy. The alpha, Rima, was a staggering thing to behold in dragon form. She was the largest dragon he had seen in his long life. He had also met their Betas. Styx, he remembered was a capable warrior, with the same inclinations as Rima. Opheal was a gentle soul, she kept most of the pack in line. Valindi, who had joined the pack just recently had something to prove. Sherry, the Alpha's mate, was a dragon that seemed would fit better in Astra pack. Keiddraid and Aidynett were dragons found contentment in their lives. But Al wondered if the rest of them as ready for war as Rima.

​

Rima pulled back from her mate's kiss. "Be mindful of public displays of affection, mate" She spoke sternly, though it pained her to speak in such manner. "You cannot- must not show your allegiances so explicitly." Rima knew she was pushing her away, but this was her burden as the Alpha. She turned to Keiddraid, a gifted healer and a valuable asset to the pack. Though his talents led him to diagnose the alpha with chronic stress on a nigh daily bases. "Good day to you Keiddrad. Take your seat and you will be briefed shortly" Her words were stern as ever, but someone with Keiddraid's ability could tell what was about to happen was going to be another headache for him in the future. Rima addressed Opheal. "Styx is delivering a message to the Astra Alpha. He is most likely addressing them by now."

Rima knew the Alpha of that pack by name only. That and from what Valindi, the defected Astra, had to tell her. Even so, she could not make a solid profile out of the shifter. Which is one of the reasons she made her choice. Standing up with regal poise, Rima addressed the dragons in the banquet hall. "My proud Draven kinsman." She paused. It was now or never. "Since the founding of our proud Draven pack, we have been in engaged in a silent war with the Astra pack. All of our future prospects have been thrown under uncertainty for their existence. Our flourishing into uncharted waters, our growth as a pack, our war with the human scum." Everyone could notice the bile with which she said the name human. "All of it and more. All because of the Astra pack. Today, we address this uncertainty. Today, we address the Astra. I, your Alpha, have sent an invitation to Artermis Lunala. Tomorrow, the Astra pack will be staying at our grand home. We will learn of them. And where their allegiance lies. Tommorow, we will see if they stand with us in our war against humanity. If they accept, we will welcome them as our kin. If they refuse, they will either stay out of our way, or be crushed under Draven claws. We will prepare a feast worthy of any Draven, give them our hospitality as though they were our kin. But if their alliegance is against us," The room temperature went up a few degrees. "They will reap our glorius wrath." Rima sat down, aware of what she said needed time to be absorbed.

Doran/Beta/Astra/Human Form: Doran was starting to become increasingly angrier the more Styx ignored him. With everyone else in Dragon form, Doran thought it best to follow suit he soon shifted into his form without wings to show dominance he started to levitate large boulders around him ready to strike if Styx starts to act up. "I don't think you are in any position to make demands deliver your message and leave us by Styx, The last thing I want is to kill someone this early in the morning."

Sherry/Alpha/Draven/Human Form: This news was extremely troublesome to Sherry and she was having a bit of a hard time keeping her composure. Though she was just barely able too. She can't look flustered as the Alpha she needed to look level headed. She seemed to be doing that well enough though. This was the last thing she wanted to happen. She didn't want a war with the Astra since they are fellow dragons but she was hoping to not go to war with humans just as much. Sherry was hoping that she may be able to at least ease ties between the two packs but know she may have to do it faster than she first thought.
