The duel colored braid fell over Haruhi’s eyes as she nodded frantically. “Yes, of course! When…When should start?” The winged female asked.
“Soon.” Sitara’s nose twitched. Her mind flashed as the scene of fire danced across her eyes. Just as soon as the vision entered, it faded. “We have a newcomer to the land. Why don’t we go test him out, see what he offers to our
precious lands, hmm?” Sitara asked, not truly waiting for an answer as she headed towards the borders. Haruhi followed quickly behind her.
It didn’t take long for the same fiery image to appear in Sitara’s mind. The rogue male stood nearby. “You are encroaching on hostile turf boy.” The lioness called. Her newly appointed trainee stood just a few steps behind her. “We don’t welcome strangers easily here.”
