Greatwater Lake When remembering a life lost

PP granted by @Olive!

With Atshen's attacks on the intruders missing, the ember-eyed male retreated to his mother's side, his eyes burning as he looked to those who had almost crossed the blood-stained boundaries of the forest. Had they gone any further, and Atshen been more successful in landing blows amongst the mass of wrestling wolves, he would have made sure that their blood was added to the vivid tapestry of their enemies remains. 

There was almost a standstill as the wolves of the forest faced those of the Family, and Atshen looked to them with a sneer as they waved the white flags of their surrender. Despite their pleas and despite the sacrifices that were offered, Atshen wanted nothing more than to end both of their lives then and there. But he didn't. Instead, he looked to Mother, waiting for her perspective on the matter. 

A wicked grin tugged at his dark lips as the Dark Master pulled forward to attack the other woman. Taking this as an indication of what he should be doing, Atshen wordlessly pulled himself alongside Nemesis, falling quickly into her shadow. As she aimed high, he went low, reaching for the woman's forelegs as Nemesis did the dirty work of stricking at Olive's face.

The pair went to work until Olive pulled herself from the tangle. Realizing that there was nothing left to attack, Atshen fell to his mother's side again, catching sight of the other woman's retreating form once he had settled. The confrontation seemed to be over and as such, Atshen quickly lost interest. Instead, he kept his eyes to his mother, waiting for her command and soon enough, once the dark stranger had left, the pack returned to their woods.
