Moghedien kept her icy blue eyes upon Chernabog, he seemed to grow distant as if recalling a tale from the past, perhaps how he had come to gain the monstrosity now on place on his head. After some moments he issued her with an answer, it was valid, to an extent, the helm had become a symbol of his power and reign over the pack members as well as over wolves he was known to. But the helm did not make the beast underneath it, she doubted the power would fade and die, only the fables that accompanied it and so long as the fables and tales of the helmed wolf existed to scare pups and adults alike and that wolf himself existed, walking, breathing and a living incarnation of this beast lived then the Reign would terrify all. Though like all living things, they faded out and died or died in battle, thus producing an heir was crucial to insure that the beast always remained alive.

She did not question him further, the matter really not needing further discussion. Instead it returned intimately to the beta ranks. His suggestion was abrupt and he gave no reasoning for his choice, suggesting he wanted her views on such things. She thought about it for a moment and then she gave her answer, 'Kiara has displayed no strength in the position as Beta, I myself never met with her as a Lady, her duties are meant to be controlling the Lords and Ladies a like and she has done no such thing. Only four packs have been visited and she should of pushed to spread the reign further, that is the roll of the beta. Also she never met with any or the warriors and guardians of the pack. Geri and Freki protect the boundaries but they are both forces which need to be tamed, Geri's thirst for war and battle is a weakness she should of seen too.' She grew quite for a moment and she looked at him, 'The duties of the beta, I do not think, should incorporate looking over the warriors and guardians, we need to appoint someone else to that task. We also need someone to train the younger warriors, that duty should not fall solely to yourself.' She was of course referring to the training of Liriel's boy, Cassius.

For all the faults she painted upon Kiara she also noted her merits, always like Moghedien to be making the most of the tools she was provided with, 'Kiara however did well with training Korrigan, she would do well with looking after the training of the young warriors. As for a general of the fully trained wolves and adults, I will leave that for you to decide.' This was not her area and she knew he would be more knowledgeable on this appointment. 'As for Rumor.' She considered, she had not yet met the female which had been rumoured that he treated like a daughter, perhaps it was time. 'I have not met her yet and thus I cannot past judgement.' Her eyes pierced his and she acknowledged what needed to be done, 'I shall meet with her and then I will give you my answer.'
