flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed
you will revive your master
blood of the enemy, forcibly taken
[size=3]you will resurrect your foe[/size]
Not a day went by that she wasn’t out patrolling. It didn’t matter if it was hot or cold, wet or dry. The scarred woman had a job to do and she wouldn’t settle for less than perfection. She refreshed scent markings along the border, and made sure that there was no sign of trespassers crossing those markings. She did whatever it took to make sure the borders were safe, and the secrets within were kept even safer. She stuck firmly to the "outsiders aren’t welcome" that she had gotten used to enforcing for the last couple of years when she faithfully followed her Aunt. Now that she followed her cousin, her aunt’s only living daughter, Aguta would do whatever it took to protect her cousin and the pack as a whole.
She had been so very pleased with the fact that she wasn’t having to start at the bottom as everyone else that had come was doing. Aguta knew that she was going to have to be prepared to do whatever she had to in order to remain above the rest, and was willing to do just that. If it meant she had to fight to remain where she was within the ranks, then so be it. She was far from the sniveling youngster that she had once been so long ago when she’s first crept onto Siku’s doorstep. Aguta was older, wiser, and far more willing to fight than she had been before. Life had hardened her, though there was still a softness to her beneath her hard exterior. It was something that, thus far, only one had seen and, if she could help it, that would remain that way.
Standing atop of a ledge part way up the side of the mountain, the scarred woman had a clear view of quite a bit of the area on the side she was on. From her vantage point, she was able to easily watch the comings and goings of not only strangers but others within the pack, as well as prey as it scurried about, readying itself for the coming winter. She was ready for it; winter. The scarred Gamma knew that the pack was going to need to start doing some pack hunts to store meat for the coming winter. It was something she’d been thinking about for a while now. For the moment, though, she was content with standing on the ledge and watching the borders.
