There had been some tough times since Keith left the stark North, he hadn't noticed how much he needed his pack, after all he was only a bit older than a year and he hadn't seen the outside world by himself. Keith was always pampered and treated like a prince, a spoiled kid was what he was but he didn't care.

It only got hotter as the exiled prince went south, there was no other way to go anyways, he came from the northernmost edge of the world, a white, cold and desolated place. Keith was used to the freezing temperatures of his homeland, and so he carried a heavy coat that was of no use down here. there was a place he had liked on his way down to the Neverwinter forest, a mountain range he crossed, the temperature there pas pleasing for the young male, but he figured he wouldn't find anyone there so he came down the mountain in search of civilization.

The silver prince found a fresh water pond to drink and to cool down a little, and after some relax time he came out of the water and shook of the water of his bright pelt. He had spent days on his own, and it was driving him crazy. he was desperate to get attention, so he decided to do something a lone wolf should never do, he howled as hard as he could and hoped someone would hear him, he had caught the scent of several packs in the surrounding area, it was almost impossible that no one heard, so he waited, someone would come eventually.

A brown beast trotted towards Keith, he leaned his body backwards dipping his head between his shoulders, scared that the brute male would run over him like a buffalo. It was when the white prince saw the brute's scars all over his body and when he spoke with his coarse voice that his assumptions were confirmed, he was in fact dealing with a beast.

"Whoa man! you almost gave me a heart attack, you came out of nowhere!" he said, still heavy-breathing from the rush of adrenaline he felt on the sight of his new companion. Keith took a moment to re assume his posture and then adressed back at the giant "I don't want any trouble, Sitri, I just wanted to say hi, I'm new around and I thought I could use the hospitality of some fine gentleman like you.." he said with a wink, hoping that there was a pack somewhere by that this male was a part of.

The brown giant chuckled with his deep voice, "Would not say Sitri is a gentlemen" he kept referring to himself as Sitri, like there was someone else to talk about, like they were not alone... To Keith he was either nuts or no one taught him to speak properly. He felt like he was talking to a pup, a really big and scary and fearsome pup.

"Oh but you are! trust me, Sitri, no one knows more about gentlemen than Keith, I am the heir of the north," he said prudly,"But that doesn't matter, does it?... Anyway, I scented your pack's markings all over the place, am I right?" the white prince could feel Sitri's red glare burning him, and even his coat seemed to be made of fire, intense. He wasn't used to it, in the north you would never see such a dark wolf, with the exception of his midnight black brother of course, that's why he was so hated and despised.

The scars in Sitri's face made Keith feel uncomfortable, but at the same time they were amazing, he had never seen such a ting in the northern lands, everyone there seemed so elegant and gracious and boring, but here he had seen not only one but two magnificent creatures, the two colored lady ad the fire warrior. This new land promised to be an incredible adventure.

"Ah so you are a princeling Keith" said the giant with a creepy smile, and as if it was his basic need to boast about it Keith lifted his chin to say "I am" even when he had been exiled, even when everyone seemed to hate him like they hated his brother he kept finding excuses to show off his bloodline and be a jerk about it.

Keith's proud face turned to a satisfaction grin when Sitri warned him about the borders unless he seeked to "join our ranks". Once again he got what he wanted, a formal invitation to join a pack, if that could be called formal...

"It's funny that you mentioned it, Sitri. I was actually looking for a new place to stay, and I think I may want to join your ranks"

"Fair enough.." And a bow was Keith's answer to Sitri's warning about being a prince, it was time for him to admit that he was no longer the heir of the white lands, he did no longer hold a high rank in a pack, he was no longer the favorite son of a mighty alpha, he was just Keith, an exiled wolf seeking for a fresh start, and he was willing to make it to the top again, even if it meant that he had to start from the bottom and prove himself worth it, he was up for it.

The brute then proceeded to howl in a call for his alpha, Keith took a deep breath, he had never felt nervous about anything because he used to be above everything and anyone, but that was about to change, wasn't it? Still, Keith stood straight trying to show the little pride he had left, he wanted to make a good first impression to the queen and maybe even gain her favour.

"So.. Tell me Sitri," he said after the waiting became an awkward silence "how many wolves does your pack count?" Besides from breaking the ice, he really felt curiosity about this; his former pack in the north was nearly twenty, and that without counting pups and the alphas.. Almost every wolf that lived in the always winter lands was part of the pack and the territories they held were vast and well protected, it was indeed a mighty pack.

Their conversation was interrupted though, when the snow coated alpha finally arrived at the scene she did it with such grace and such an imposing presence that Keith felt silent as he watched her walk. "What's he want?" She asked with a low and demanding voice to the fire giant. "My name is Keithen White, my lady.." he said with confidence, "I am looking for a pack to which I can suear loyalty since my original one turned to be full of cunts and unworthy of anyone's faith" his eyes filled with anger as he said those last words, he wasn't the kind of wolf who'd hold a grudge, but this was his family he was talking about and it felt like a stab in the back to the young prince. "My good friend here, Sitri, has proven your pack to be a strong one, and one I can trust.. if you'd let me of course.." He smiled at the queen and bowed in a submissive sign, he wanted to gain her trust.

The queen laughed at Keith's introduction and questioned him about his former pack, making him realize that his words were a little bit harsh and that he was speaking with his anger, "Actually, it was my father's pack" he started holding his gaze with Jinx, "he was the alpha, but my sister killed him in cold blood when she saw the opportunity" his eyes filled with anger at this point, remembering his father corpse, showered in blood, the same old man who had always protected and taken care of the whole pack and lands. "she stabbed him in the back... If that's not to be considered being a cunt then I don't know what could..." he barked hoping that his words would better explain his position and beliefs.

The queen questioned him once again, she asked what made him better than any other lone wolf to join her pack, he smiled slightly, he knew what his next words would be.. "The thing is, my queen, I am not a lone wolf, I just had the bad luck of being in the wrong pack. If my abilities are what you're asking about, I can say with confidence that I'm a capable warrior, my father trained me himself since I was a pup. I can serveas an outrider if needed and I'm an excelent hunter as well.." he said no more, and waited for the queen's reaction.

Keith wasn't trying to be rude holding the queen's gaze, but he was used to be on a higher rank than anyone except for his father so he did it without thinking of the consequences. The queen reacted fiercely to it and stated he was a mere peasant which he didn't like at all, but knowing that he wasn't in his reign anymore he shifted his eyes to the ground reluctantly. "Forgive me, my lady, I didn't mean to be rude in any way.." he was determined to be accepted to the pack, so he'd submit to Jinx if that's what it'd take.

Sitri and the queen listened to the prince story and he noticed they weren't dazzled by his abilities, maybe he was being too modest? He was more than just capable of being the leader of the pack, but he wasn't gonna tell the queen that. "I assure you, my queen, that if you accept me into your ranks you'll not be disappointed.. I offer my loyalty and my devotion to you. I'd be glad to show myself worthy of you but if you don't want me I'll understand, it is your decision only.." he finished with a bow and sat back on his haunches.

Keith thought that it was helpless, trying to get in the pack, she would never accept him. But to his surprise, she did. The Alpha said that he had to impress someone before the next full moon to be welcome to stay. Oh f*ck- he thought to himself, knowing that they'd be impressed if they caught him during a full moon, but certainly it wouldn't be for good.

The female didn't look quite well though, she started drooling and her breath turned heavy. She stared at him before leaving, to which he responded with a bow and a smile, not a word said. then she departed, running back from where she'd come from.

When Jinx left, the silver prince turned to Sitri, who had been silently observing ever since the Alpha arrived. Keith winked, and chuckled in success. if the universe wanted him to get all he wanted, he didn't know, but he sure liked it.

"So.. Wanna show me around?" he barked standing up from his sitting position.

The fire coated giant broke his silence, instructing the young prince to follow with his warm and deep voice. Keith, rejoiced by his success followed his big friend into the shadows of the Ouroboros spine, holding his tail high and thinking of the future. If he wanted his new pack to fully accept him, he had to show himself worthy.

In the northern lands being the new wolf could be hard, but little did he know that this pack was specially severe and harsh, to him ignorance was bliss, and now allowed himself to taste the sweet victory he barely achieved.
