Ahava nodded at Wohali and then continued to stare at the endless, clear sky with a smile.

Lya burst into the oak's clearing, gradually slowing down. A mouse tightly locked in her jaws. She could feel fang sized holes wearing into the tiny corpse as she trotted with it. She came to a stop under a fungi covered tree, the sun filtered through the branches into the ideal temerature, which was about time to take a nap. As soon as she lay down and dropped the mouse, a moaning yawn escaped. Lya began to eat the animal, partially covering her muzzle in blood.
After eating, Lya curled and went to sleep under the afternoon sun. Her mind was soon entranced into a dream. She was falling. Falling to who-knows-where, in a deep, black, empty space. She hit the bottom with no sound. Her eyes had no pupils or color, only white. With a strange zipping noise, her mother appeared in her stead, murmuring something that had been lost in the fragments of her mind... something Lya had eavesdropped on during her puphood: "I worry about little Lya! She's always been so small and weak, perhaps we should feed her more" The wolf faded into her father, who cruelly spoke "No. If she is to survive, she has to know this world is harsh!" With a jolt. Lya awoke, shaking and cold. Her heart was fluttering. This made her think; How had she ever created this wonderful pack? The home to many wolves?
ooc; Long roleplay post ftw!

After dozing on and off in the soft ferns, Yanah sat up alert, allowing herself a small stretch before rising. Scanning the area, she saw Lya not too far away, twitching nervously in her sleep. Yanah watched curiously but decided not to bother her. If she wants me to know she'll tell me. Leaving Lya to her nap, she set off at a brisk pace through the woods, stout legs pumping.

Lya was very embarrassed. She had apparently scared away Yanah. Her ears lay flat. Lya was now pretty irritated. What kind of Satrap am I? pondered she. The dream, now half forgotten, didn't disturb her much more, for she had other things to worry about.

Yanah skidded to a halt a few yards away. Cursing herself for forgetting what they were supposed to be doing, she turned and ran back to the oak circle. Approaching Lya, Yanah flicked an ear in the direction of the Novuses. Sitting next to the other Satrap, she awaited to give judgment.

Lya shook off her irritable look. It was time to graduate the novus's who waited. Coughing to rid herself of a frog in the throat. she howled, to address the meeting. That'll wake 'em up! she thought afterwards. "Today we all gather here to graduate the wonderful novus's of the pack. They have waited so eagerly and patiently to receive a better rank." she rasped. Lya coughed again, and then continued speaking. "Wohali-- Do you believe you can handle the responsibilities of a Secundus?" asked she.

Yanah watched as Lya spoke, nodding in agreement. Turning to Waholi, she stared at him meaningfully.

A hint of surprise in his voice, Wohali answered loudly, and clearly. "Yes."

Lya nodded. "Then you are now one of the two secundus. Do not abuse your power. Alongside Wohali, our other novuses have graduated as well. Likos is our new lead Latro. Lead our hunts with pride and strength. Niquisi is the Simulo. Use your healing abilities to aid your packmates in times of need. And last but not least, Ahava. Yanah and I have talked this over, and you are the third Satrap!" She was now out of breath and attempting to catch up.

Lifting her head, Yanah eyed him levelly. " As a Satrap of Kylarad, I commend you on your loyalty, and your kindness." At this she her gazed bored into his, hinting at his earlier mishap. " Under these oaks I make you a Secundus. Bear that title well, and protect you pack until your last breath." With that she was quiet again.

Wohali dipped his head at both of them, a bit cautiously to Lya, and sat back down.

At some unspoken signal, Yanah raised her voice in a howl that broke across the clearing, waiting for the others to join in.

To make up for his moment of uncertainty, Wohali raised his muzzle and howled loudly, and with enthusiasm.

Lya joined her fellow Satrap in song. She was relieved to get them high in the ranks.
