[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/kback-9.jpg] "Speaking" The unicorn cautiously approached the water, small for its species the white pelt that draped its hide was pristine in its beauty and the light of the morning reflected off the young animal's horn casting it in a surreal golden glow. The animal's white tail danced to and fro as the creature stamped one foot on the ground , it's breath rising in a golden cast mist. Keinvarii lay low in the marsh that bordered the shore line, pale green and dull grey pelt camouflaging excellently into the tall grass. Her gem blue eyes watched with interest as the animal drank gratefully from the cold water, ears twitching to catch the sounds of the marsh around her. She had the intention of simply taking a stroll to check her lands and had noted the rare animal in the thick forest. Quietly she had followed the unicorn keeping a safe distance so not to alert it to her presence, curious to know what the creature was doing in the territory. The unicorn represented a perfect symbolism of youthful purity and heavenly grace and to kill one on their lands was a grave sin that could be met with demotion or even expulsion from the pack. The Accord's Queen continued to watch, enraptured in the graceful movements of the animal as it walked into the shallows to clean itself off. Soon however the beautiful creature moved one, heading east at a quick pace and Keinvarii could not help but wonder where its journey's destination was or if it even had one. Sighing she rose out of the grass, still in a daze from having witnesses such a breathtaking sight. The unicorn had appeared perfectly at home in the Queen's lands and it was with wistful eyes that she had watched it leave. Now only the empty silence of a past moment lay on the land and she shook her head regretfully. This was but one of the small occurrences that set Lake Amarenthyst aside from other territories and wolves living nearby could often feel as though they were plunged back into ancient tales of bravado and chivalry. This was what drew Keinvarii to the territory and made her so fiercely protective of it for the authenticity of the land had to be protected at all costs. The Centena Accord was the guardian of this spirit and Keinvarii was guardian of those that took the oath to protect it. Smiling she let out a soulful howl of contentment, for once everything felt right and as it should be for the female had found herself within the pack and the land. The howl echoed out beautifully, weaving into the air and fading into the distance. If only she could have provided the pack with well deserved heirs so that there could be the assurance that it would be eternal, but alas she continued to age without any sign of finding a king for her pack, it seemed as though she would have to set aside her needs and take a male for the sake of the members that lived in the land, a sacrifice she was willing to make. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - K e i n v a r i i 's .

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/rback.jpg] [scrolly:h(197),w(410),sy] Lake Amarenthyst... The name was so hauntingly beautiful that it made even the battle-worn lord of defense sigh a little. The territory and land itself was even more so, and he loved it even more than the meadow, which had been beautiful in spring and summer, but unsafe and treacherous in fall and winter: He was glad they had moved. He'd woken early, and after a few short stretches, he'd swam to shore to do his routinely patrol. To Raynor's knowledge, no fighters had joined the Accord yet, and even if he knew all of the wolves at the Lake were more than capable of defending themselves if need be, he would rest easier knowing he wasn't the only official source of defense the Accord had. As he was walking, a familiar howl reached his ears: He looked up, his golden eyes searching the area. Stone must be near enough, and he quickened his pace to go and meet her. The mists swirled about his sleek black form, he was quite big for a Cael, and years of hard training had made him fit and ready for battle. However, unlike his older self, he wasn't as quick to attack as before, though a good fight now and then always pleased the male: It was simply his nature. The early winter light still glinted of the golden highlights in his pelt as he approached the Queen, and his friend. "Greetings Stone, it is nice to see a familiar face." His voice held a slight musical quality to it that was familiar to all Caels, and his was deep. He thought about being able to hear Faye and Cyra's thoughts at the pack meeting, and he wondered if he was just tired at the time... It was odd, and he wanted to find out more before doing anything about it... It could be a valuable advantage in battle.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/kback-9.jpg] "Speaking" Keinvarii smiled as she heard the approaching sound of familiar footsteps, her nose confirming the identity of the wolf before they spoke out a greeting. A welcome interruption to her thoughts Raynor was a brave cael with a true noble heart. She turned to the sound of the voice, watching the black wolf that now stared at her with friendly gold eyes. Her eyes brightened as she rose to embrace her friend and Lord of Defence, with no Knights he had a heavy burden on his strong shoulders, she wondered what he might have to say? “And hello to you brave Lord of Defence, what brings you this way today?” She believed he was patrolling, Keinvarii herself had taken it upon her shoulders to help the cael by making regular patrols of her own, anything to keep the pack that now lived in the temperate rain forest safe. Her tail waged happily as she gazed at the male, if only she had a way to repay him for his kindness and dedication. A promotion hardly seemed to express her gratitude and so she plucked a stone from the earth, and focusing on the spinning rock slowly began to shape it into the likeliness of a wolf. Once satisfied she place it on the ground and giving it a couple licks transformed its molecular structure until it gleamed, the amber crystal now reflecting the golden light in the cael’s eyes. A soft smile of satisfaction graced her face and she picked the make shift statue up and deposited it at Raynor’s feet. “[color=3a6f99You have served this pack well noble Raynor, I only wish there was more I could do in turn for you.” This personal expression of gratitude could not have been expressed in the presence of all the pack members, and so she took the time to do so now. “What are your reports on the land?” It seemed like a good place with plenty of natural defences, but Keinvarii wanted the opinion of her Lord of Defence for it was his area of speciality.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/rback.jpg] [scrolly:h(197),w(410),sy] The statue warmed his heart, Stone was not only a trusted leader and ally, but a very good friend to him. "After all you have given me, I should hardly accept such a fine creation. But it is indeed well-crafted and beautiful , so thank you Stone, and not just for the statue." he thanked the lupus. Her question was valid, and certainly a good one. And so he replied: "I find the land at Lake Amerenthyst to better suit all of the Accord's needs, with plentiful shelter and prey. As for defense, it is perfect for me. The lake means that any Caels who join, and are maybe a little less agile on land, still have the chance to help out in the water. I myself think that if I were a Keiyou, the cliffs would be an excellent place to launch off and attack enemies from above. Also, it is a good watch spot, so any wolf could see an enemy pack come and warn the others before they arrive. Stones or branches could also be thrown down from the cliffs as a means of defense. The forest is a good place to hide for a surprise attack, and since we know the land and they don't, it would be to our advantage to pick them off one by one." He paused: "All in all it is a good land for any wolf, whatever species, to help defend the Accord." he finished with a nod. His detailed account of his observations might sound a little chilling to any wolf who didn't know him, but he was certain Keinvarii knew what he was talking about.
