the path she’d taken was not a path she wanted anyone else to take; it was hard and at times lonely and always hindering on the precipice of self destruction. it was an unnecessary path to walk, praimfaya sees now, when there were wolves willing to guide you. she had spurned them away after dacio’s death and flirted with danger as if i could save her. she was lucky, perhaps, that it worked out so well for her but she is not fool enough to think that she is not hunted. if donovan had any kind of sense to him he would not take her threat(s) lightly for she would come for him.

one day.

astraeus might be like her and may not listen …but then, he had the advantage of not being her so perhaps he just might. time would tell; and largely whether she could help or not depended largely upon whether she stumbled across him.

i understand, praimfaya replies with a sage nod. if i stumble across him i will try. it is the best she could offer; the best anyone could do but ultimately it all came down to astraeus.

he speaks now of a place called legion ( perhaps praimfaya heard of it before, it sparks some sort of recognition within her if brief ); mercurial gaze following the path his lilac one carves thru the wilderness. he admits that he desires the land the pack holds but doesn’t want conflict. are they a small pack? or a large one? praimfaya inquires.

she is quiet for a bit as she considers her words. it depends. if you want them gone you could encroach on their hunting grounds, try to starve them out. our ways are harsh but it is how we survive. or, she drawls. you could offer a merger of sorts. like how my people operate with my coalition. each pack is led by a ‘leader’ but they are one pack. one kru. the local leader handles daily, trivial things but they all answer to the commander. the ultimate authority. you could make yourself that ultimate authority and sagtannet wolves would be welcome in legion and vice versa; sharing food and resources and numbers.

of course, that was only as good as if legion’s leaders would agree to such a thing; without knowing them or how they operated made it hard to know for sure whether something like that could actually work or not.
