caiaphas had never considered what must be done -- she knew, in an impetuous way, the law of the world. it was kill or be killed -- the matter lied strictly in who was doing the killing.

"any physical attack is an act of war, and must be met with massive retaliation." every wolf knew the law -- she doubted the pirates were any exception. "we kill, or we are killed." her brow furrowed as she continued: "our fate lies in finding out where they are. they are between us, we know that much -- but we must find out where." she needn't elaborate on why this was a disadvantage for ferahgo's wolves -- she knew the druid to be sharp, and was confident in his abilities to parse form her clipped words her intentions. she was confident this served as a massive advantage for them -- flanked, these purported pirates would have very little chance to defend themselves.  " if we let them live, they are a threat not only for our lives, but for our livelihood -- the shore cannot sustain three packs in such close proximity."
