Dragoncrest Cliffs Advent of a new era

Now that both mothers had given birth Tirgatao, more than ever, wanted to do her part and then some for Drageda. So after taking some time to observe the twin dens from a respectful distance, the Shouna set off towards the north to inspect the borders and reaffirm her mark upon them. As far as they knew, no other packs resided this far north; the nearest was, of course, the Nereides, but the sea witches mostly kept to themselves as per the agreement of their truce. Thankfully, no issues had sprang up since, and Tirgatao was hopeful that the tenuous peace would settle into an amiable friendship.

As she moved beneath the towering sentinels, Tirgatao's attention was suddenly drawn to movement between the trunks of the great trees. She inhaled to stop her breath and ducked into a nearby heather. Her sternum hit the ground and she crawled forward to peek beneath the verdant spring growth at the figure who moved into the territory and added his own mark to the borders. Tirgatao bared her teeth in silence as his offending musk hit her nostrils and rose, shoving harshly through the brush, and revealing herself to the larger, older, male.  

The smaller advisor was unafraid. Her usually warm brown eyes reflected none of her usual benevolence, and her tail flagged high over her rump dominantly, demanding his submission. "Who the hell are you?" she growled.
