Their strict structure and demand for traditional approaches spoke volumes to him of their worth. It would be here that he would seek to establish him self and rebuild his reputation. He landed on the canyon's edge and peered across the large gap at the other side. His excellent eyesight took in the details of the site and concluded that gatherings of some sort were held at that area, and so it would be that he would make his presence known in that location. Jumping of the edge he took a vertical dive into the deep canyon's gaping mouth, opening his large wings at the last second to pull back up in a majestic twirl of black feathers. And so he softly landed in the clearing, immediately noticing the smells, new and old, of various wolves. He took a military stance with his shoulders held straight and marched his way into the middle of the clearing. With a great commanding howl he let it be known he was waiting for a High ranking official to take note of his presence and fell silent, waiting patiently in the blazing heat. Peering around him self his a cold stare he sincerely hoped that the pack would live up to its reputation, he would expect no less. If all went according to plan he could find a female and arrange a convenient but distant relation so that he could sire a heir. He had no need or time to waste on the notion of love; he would want the female simply for breeding. He ruffled his fur lightly as the muscles on his sleek but deadly hide relaxed and then tensed again; he was ready.[/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/Bluewillowtree/Dagyrmid.jpg] Dagyr had been training, preparing himself for the battle for Beta when he heard the call for a 'high ranking official' of the pack. He knew Rhia was busy with the preparations and decided, if he was going to do this eventually he might as well get started now. Everyone knew no one was challenging for the male gamma spot, whoever lost the beta fight would take the position, so no mater what Dagyr would have some power over acceptances... or so he hoped. Moving away from the rocks where he had been practicing his dodging, he moved at a steady clip toward the meeting place. It was interesting that this wolf had chosen such a spot to present himself. Finally the Yagi reached the top, only slightly winded from the printing climb. Everything was training to him now, this position meant everything to him, it meant protecting his alphess in every way possible. Dagyr's dark eyes settled on the black and white Keiyou that stood in the middle of the clearing. After taking a second to watch the creature and to mask his heavy breathing, the Yagi moved foreword, his emerald coat gleaming in the summer sun. Dagyr enjoyed this season, but wished for fall and it's cooler weathers where his bulk would aide him instead of hinder his movements. Striding up to the Keiyou, Dagyr spoke. I am Dagyr of the Styrrstdar Cadre. Are you the one who called for a greeting? This Keiyou looked good, clean, but did not smell of a pack. He stood with pride and discipline, this black wolf. Dagyr respected that, it had been some time since he had seen that look in the eyes of a species other than his own. That was the look of hard work. (Sorry for the wait, gave Art a while to see if she would post. That and I just got a new table, so I hope you don't mind getting second best.)

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback.jpg] [scrolly:h(224),w(410),sy] Valkyrie’s cold steel eyes fixed themselves on the arrival of a large Yagi, taking in the details from the color of his fur to the slight lack of breath. He inclined his head to show his respects in a reserved fashion befitting his lower rank. Keeping care to keep his own tail slightly lowered he kept his stance which now resembled standing at attention. The yagi species were reputed to be solid and hard workers with a proud disposition. Valkyrie had lead many attacks in the company of them and he respected their species greatly, more so than the others. He was also pleased to see he was being greeted by a male. In a cool though polite voice he simply stated, “I am indeed the responsible for that call sir. If it pleases you my names is Valkyrie and at the current time are without a pack.” Dagyr was certainly a respectful name, it came out strong on the tongue and Valkyrie approved. He hoped that this male could provide insight into this pack so that Valkyrie may draw his final conclusions and solidify his decision to join. As was his nature he went directly to the point, “I have traveled to find a reputable pack to join. I seek discipline, organization and a traditional approach to leading and governing. Packs these days are too liberal for my preference.” He frowned slightly, such liberal packs were a disgrace in his opinion and he could not fathom how such members gained a sense of organization or how the packs were not rampant with disease, famine or over populated with pups. “Of course I should not wish to join such a pack without offering some reasoning. You can rest assured that I bring in depth military knowledge and skill. Under this pack’s command you can be certain that orders will be carried out without fail or error on my part.” He fell silent as he awaited for Dagyr’s response which would determine his future path. The steel shade of his eyes glinted in the harsh sunlight and gleamed of his ink black wings. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/Bluewillowtree/Dagyrmid.jpg] Dagyr noticed how the keiyou looked him over, analyzing his every move. Dagyr's sharp eyes watched the keiyou in return, analyzing him. The keiyou knew how to address one of power, that was obvious. However his stance spoke of pride and ego... not some of the best combinations... Dagyr drew a silent breath, committing this Keiyou to memory. Finally the wolf spoke his name and intent. Dagyr nodded at Valkyrie's wish to join. You will find that this pack has a steady structure in our ways, and we are renowned for our deep sets roots in the traditional way of a pack. Dagyr noted this newcomer's distaste at the mention of how other packs were run. Either this wolf was a bad actor, or he really hated how other packs ran themselves. Dagyr watched the keiyou, waiting for a sign of a mask, and upon not finding one continued. I respect how you hold yourself, and how you speak. I have found your reasoning for asking for admission to this pack acceptable. A pack can never have too many soldiers and those dedicated to the pack and it's cause. I believe that you will do this pack good. For now I will accept you as a subordinate of the Styrrstdar pack, but with hard work and proof to me as well as my fellow wolves that you are deserving you might just step up in rank. Dagyr nodded his head in a small bow and watched Valkyrie. Do you have any questions before you continue on your way down into the canyon and pack lands?

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/vback.jpg] [scrolly:h(224),w(410),sy] Ooc; Artellia is mine, but she is still a new member, therefore I can’t post in ic yet I don’t believe. Not quite sure what is going on with that situation to be honest. Valkyrie listened with an impassive face, taking in the briefing that was being provided for him. His gave slight nods of his head to indicate he was paying attention and reflected on Dagyr’s words. What he heard pleased him and satisfied his curiosity; this pack would certainly be a convenient location to dwell in judging by their creed, which Valkyrie would hold them to. This was an acceptable reply and Valkyrie certainly would offer proof of his worth as time went by. He would almost have liked to participate in the sparring, but as their rules dictated he should wait until the next set then so he would. He waited until Dagyr had finished talking, content that he had been officially admitted as he had hoped. It was now his time to reply and so he said, “It certainly pleases me to hear that there is at least one pack whom knows how to organize themselves, yes it is a relief indeed. My gratitude is what I can offer you at the present moment in relation to my acceptance. You also appear to be a rather solid individual; I believe that I may say with honesty that I have enjoyed our brief conversation, perhaps we may talk more in the future?” It was certainly true that Valkyrie thought the Yagi was of fine character from their interaction, and it was always a well rounded idea to surround one’s self with such stable and reliable wolves. Dagyr would be an excellent partner to practice sparring with once Valkyrie gained some more prestige amongst the other members. Asking to spar with a superior was not a common, nor encouraged practice in his previous pack; you had to earn this right and had to be chosen by the superior. To this end he supposed that he must once again settle. He thought briefly if he had any questions to pose, but he could not come up with any of particular value so he remained silent and simply returned his superior’s bow. [/scrolly]

[atrb=background,http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb390/Bluewillowtree/Dagyrmid.jpg] (Art is a busy mod, and I want to help her where I can, would you like me to post for Artellia's joining thread, or would you rather someone else?) Dagyr was glad that such a male approved of his pack. As a possible beta Dagyr took pride in his pack. It also made Dagyr happy that this new member approved of him. It didn't really matter what the new male thought, but it was always good to have supporters. Thank you Valkyrie, I am glad you approve. I have also enjoyed our conversation. If you ever wish to talk or see me I am but a howl away. Dagyr turned away from the keiyou and started toward the cliff. He stopped at the top of the stairs and looked back on Valkyrie. Make yourself at home here Valkyrie. If anyone gives you trouble tell them I was the one who accepted you. Explore if you wish, but I believe that your wings will carry you farther faster than my frame could lead you so I will leave you to get acquainted with your new home... Welcome to the Cadre, Valkyrie. With that Dagyr turned and began to descend the cliff, satisfied that he had made a good choice.

Thanks for replying and getting Valkyrie in the Cadre, appreciate it. And sure, I'd love it if you could post for Artellia's joining thread when you get a second.
