Ouroboros Spine gold ashes

[size=small]As the form of Alusia's body merged with the immaculate layers of snow that covered the floor, Cara closed in on the place where the female had stopped to rest. With her navigation system guiding her to a seemingly empty place the Queen had to turn to her other senses. The pale color the new recruit shared with the snow was enough to fool the young Queen for a second, who had not given the land in front of her more that a quick skim.

Finally her eyes caught movement among the rest of the snow mounds, the slow heaving of a living creature's flank as it breathed. Instinctively the Queen allowed her tail to adopt the natural pose of dominance, one that like her ambition had begun to come naturally to Cara. "Found you" she purred with satisfaction as she began to advance towards the female like a prowling tiger. Her tail never wavering as she then summoned her subordinate's attention with a low chuff.
While she was now more grateful when it came to welcoming bodies into the Spine, her finicky nature remained unchanged.

Out of all the new faces that had entered the Spine, not one had been accepted out of pity. Not even Ivev, the injured wolfess had used her wounds as a ticket. Cara had no time for charity cases, they repugnated her. Every single wolf that remained in the Spine did so because of the potential they possesed. Whether it was strenght, intelligence or stealth they all had at least something that had initially interested Cara. Now however, she was determined to calculate entirely just how much potential did each of them hold.

With an expression of pure curiosity wavering within her eyes she slowed into a halt just in front of the girl, "I trust that you have begun to settle well?" she barked, her voice betraying the strong intrigue she held for her and what she had busied herself with since her acceptance, which to be honest had been fairly recent for her to explore but perhaps not yet to get settled.
Still, it was through this questionaire that Cara intended to know about the female that would (most hopefully) become one with the rest of the fully fledged Spine wolves.
While distrust was nothing but a typical reaction for the Queen, it had grown even stronger as of late, especially because of the maternity plan she had in mind.
Accepting new members was always a gamble for leaders who seeked loyal wolves. It was a gamble Cara had been willing to accept but perhaps not so eager to loose.
Hopefully Alusia would be the ace under her sleeve.
