Shatter Dreams

[Deleted]

Night padded along the border of the pack grumbling to herself,
Stupid Sian! why won't he just be evil like me? Ugh, stupid uhhh! she huffed and raised her head howling in frustration. Sitting back on her haunches she sighed looking around, putting her head between her paws. I hope the accept me, i would be an excellent asses to them. She thought proudly, smiling to herself.

The border was busy today, and it pleased Perjury to see Night at the border. This wasn't a lost pup, it was an adult and clearly an evil one at that. Not to mention, another female like herself. Being the only female in a pack was tough sometimes; just because she was an evil alphess didn't mean she had no desire for a social life.

"Good morning," she said to the newcomer as she came through the trees, her yellow eyes a piercing contrast to the shade, "As you may know, you stand on the border of the Frigid Plague. I am the alphess, Perjury. Tell me, what brings you to these lands?"

Night Raised her head and smiled.
"Hello, I am Night and I wish to join," her green eyes looked the Alphess over. Her face showed no emotion as she took a deep breath.

Perjury nodded, "Acceptance into this pack is not unconditional. First and foremost, I require the utmost loyalty, both to me and to the Honovi, who have been our allies for generations. Second, make no trouble that does not need to be made. We hold the largest and most desirable land in the valley, so there is no reason for members of our pack to go creating needless political strife. If we need something, then we will rise up and take it, but until then we won't give the Goods an excuse to attack us." She said the word 'Goods' with her usual level of contempt.

"Accept these conditions, and the Frigid Plague will welcome you. Nowhere else in the valley will you have as much security or as many allies. If you accept the terms, though, make sure you stand by them. Punishment for defecting is...severe."

She bowed her head, hiding her anger as she heard the name of her brothers pack.
"I Night, agree an accept these terms." She spoke in a somewhat loud voice, her green eyes glittering in the moonlight.

"Excellent. I welcome you." Perjury a small bow of her head, not an act of submission or deference, but one of acknowledgment of Night's entering into her pack. "There is a copse of oak trees to the north of here where we make our dens. You can dig one out yourself, or if you would like some help..." the ground between them suddenly gave out, collapsing into a deep hole a few feet from where Night stood, "...I have a certain talent for sculpting the landscape."

Satisfied with the display, Perjury quickly restored the soil to where it once stood. No use making ugly holes in her territory every time she wanted to demonstrate her power to a newcomer.
