Unshackle the Sun -Joining Thread-

I don't usually do this, but I don't want to bug Rem with yet another translation thread for Tom, and she's actually about to breed when this thread takes place... So I'll be using an NPC coyote slave for translations.

The hunting part was left aside because that was the minimum requisite to be a wolf. It would be of use if she had "a thing" for it, but all Dotharan did. In that aspect she would fit in quickly.The healer was not questioned. She would have to prove how useful she could be through healing (although they were pretty much in need), and the outriding part, after hearing what explanation she had for it, was the key Tinashe had to become part of the Khalas. It wasn't often that foreigners joined the culture, but if they showed devotion and commitment there was never oposition from the Dotharan themselves to take them in as apprentices, and this girl, with knowledge of the outside world, and natural control of the common tongue, could prove to be useful.

But then again, there came the part where Rakharo had to be shown commitment before opening the gates to his world. Yep, she was right to think she would have to learn the language, and pretty much everything else there was to know about the Dotharan culture, and that would only be the first step towards becoming Dotharan herself.

A slave walked from behind towards them, a young coyote Rakharo had caught stealing from a cache long before the storms, and one that he was planning to groom as his own companion and servant. Tomahawk was alright, but she was ready to become more than just Rakharo's translator. She was ready to pass on her own knowledge to new slaves, and the Khalas was ready for more of those.

"Zafrak!" Rakharo called as he saw the slave boy behind him, "Jadi!" he demanded bluntly. He was a lanky boy, pale gold fur and large paws. He was no older than a year. When he finally walked to be just a step behind Rakharo, the Khal spoke something to him in Doth, and then the slave translated.

"The Khal says that he will let you join the Khalas, but you will have two moons to prove worthy of his trust. He wants you to scout the land and see what good plants remain after the fire, and he wants you to learn the language." he spoke with plain voice, more like a robot than a coyote, "Don't worry, it's not that difficult once you get the hang of it..." he added almost whispering not sure if Rakharo would mind him speaking more than he was asked to.
