Listening to her words, he felt as if they weren't very much different from each other. He felt sadness, but had to keep his emotions in check. "I'm truly sorry to hear about that, Aldora." He tried to help her feel better, but heard her speak once more. He nodded since he wanted to make this harpy happy and not end up being her's or someone else's dinner.

Aldora approached the queen, Naxos in tow. "My queen..." She tucked under one of her feet then leaned down, bowing her head to honor her queen. Looking up to her she said "I have brought another slave for the flock." Standing back up she then stepped to the side and motioned towards the stallion. "I hope his capture pleases my queen and I ask that he may be my first pet." Aldora felt a small sense of pride, but did her best not to show it. She anxiously awaited her queen's reply.

While she had already tried to remember the names of her sisters, it had gotten considerably easy everything that had happened to her beloved Flock. Still, she thanked the spirits for taking care of them, allowing them to grow and prosper outside of the sacred grounds up in the mountains. Then again, that is really Aylin's credit.
"Ah, Aldora," She smiled a little when she spotted the dark pelted mare, wondering what she was doing away from her nanny-duties. It didn't take her long to spot the stallion she had brought with her, however - his red pelt stuck out like a sore thumb in the forests' greenery. Her expression unchanging - the calm face with a unfaltering smile - Aviania stood up and jumped down from her nest, landing in front of the nanny with a barely audible 'thud'.
"I see that you've brought in a little gift to the Flock," She chuckled, obviously proud of what her sister had done; the winged ones were always fun to bind to the Flock... She stepped forward, now facing the stallion directly, faintly glowing eyes staring straight through him, asking the spirits for their word on the new arrival.
"What is your name, male?" Her tone changed from a gentle tone to a harsh one as she addressed the red stallion.

As her queen acknowledged her achievement, the pride she felt inside swelled. A small smile peeked at the corners of her mouth as she replied to Aviania. "I did my queen. I found him trespassing in our territory. Though he is male he seems pretty compliant and understanding in what his place is to be." Yellow eyes fell back to the stallion as her queen addressed him, inexpressive, she watched and prayed that he would not shame her. Feathered tail swishing side to side, she waited to see how things would unravel further.

Naxos felt a chill run up his spin from the gaze he had gotten from the harpy queen. He knew the true meaning of fear when it came to that gaze she gave that pierced his soul. "I am Naxos, your highness." He spoke in a calm, but respectful tone as he gave a bow to show that he would not fight back in his capturing. He waited for the queen to tell him when to rise back up or to stay down with his head low.

"Oh? That sounds like a good catch, darling," She chuckled at Aldora, sensing the mare's pride and joy. It was nice to see the Flock getting lively again - it reminded her of the old days. The Queen then smiled as she nodded, moving to stand at the side of the red stallion as she continued to address the nanny, "I hear no protesting from the Spirits - you did well."
Talons then combed through Naxos' right wing as Aviania inspected them, looking for the correct feathers to pull out; indeed, they would have to keep the winged males grounded... Something that has to be done to prevent them from flying off.
"Naxos," She addressed him by name, but her voice was rather demanding as she continued, "From now onward, you are Aldora's servant and will do whatever she asks of you without protest... Do not give me the opportunity to call on you." With that, she swiftly tore out the primary feathers in his wing using her talons before moving to the other side to do the same. While she used force, it probably didn't hurt - just sting a little.

Aldora felt honored by her queen's words. She stood quietly and calmly as her queen spoke, hanging onto every word. At the compliment, she bowed her head once more, ever so grateful to the spirits and her for giving their blessing.
Her eyes followed every move made by Aviania, anxious to see what would happen next for this was her first capture and her first time seeing a male become a slave. As the talons brushed through Naxos' wings she knew what was coming for the stallion.
With feeling unaltered, she was merely content to watch and listen as he was being read his rights as to his place. As his feathers were ripped out she cringed slightly, but only that. And now... He was hers.
Stepping up to Aviania with bright and excited eyes she proceeded to ask for a token of her capture. "May I take a feather or two of his as proof that he belongs to me?"

Standing firm as the queen circled around him. He could feel her talons along his feathers. He winced a little at the stinging feel of his feather's being pulled out. "Understood, your majesty. I will do every command she speaks of me to do." He spoke with a nod of agreement. He looked over at Aldora, seeing her in joy and excitement. He waited until it was alright to move to his captor's side.

"Of course, darling," She smiled as she separated the ruined feathers from the full ones before pushing two forward gently - a red feather and a white feather. She then stepped forward and plucked out a feather from Aldora's mane using her teeth; unlike with Naxos' wings, she did it gently; it was obvious she didn't wish to cause the mare any discomfort, mild sting or not.
With feather in mouth, Aviania wasted no time in attaching it to the accessory hung around the stallion's neck; it was tricky, but having talons helped... Years of practice came in useful as well. Taking a step back, the Queen smiled as she admired how Aldora's snow white feather stuck out from the two red and black feathers on it.
"This is to say that you are Aldora's and not anyone else's male... Never remove it." She narrowed her eyes at Naxos before nodding at the Harpy nanny, "You are now dismissed... Do get him settled in, and enjoy your prize." A light chuckle escaped her lips; the initiation ceremony was always stressing, but it was an important part of tradition! She only wished that Aylin the Oracle was here to do it with her...
Making her way back towards the nest, Aviania would thank the spirits for a new male... And ask them for the blessing of more children. Yes, that would bring the Flock back to its glory days!

The mare winced ever so slightly as a feather was removed from her mane. It made her proud to see her 'mark' on the stallion. Hearing the words that he would belong to Aldora alone made her feel quite pleased. It struck her as slightly odd because she was very much expecting him to be shared with her sisters, but she had to admit a slight relief. She wasn't sure she could handle more than one capture... it just wasn't in her.
Claiming her extra little prizes, Aldora pawed at the feathers, bringing them closer to herself. She pondered where she would display them on herself.. but that could come a little later. For now she decided to tuck them away under her leg bracers. Leaning forward and picking them up in her mouth, she then hid them away for later.
After the queen dismissed her and her new prize, she bowed once again Aviania, thankful for the blessing upon her catch. "Thank you my Queen." she chimed, unable to resist having a more cheerful disposition. With that she turned to Naxos and motioned to him with a side nod to follow her. She was going to take him for a small tour and teach him a bit more before taking him to the stallions safe spot. With that she trotted off, expecting her stallion to be in tow behind her.

Naxos watched as the Queen Harpy had walked off. He looked down at the feather on his necklace with a slight smile. He felt pleased that he didn't have to be shared with other harpies. "Coming Aldora..." Speaking calmly as he followed after her. She showed him parts of the flock and where he would be staying with other Stallions and male foals.
"Home sweet home..." He said as he entered the area, watching the others roam around. The day was coming to an end and it was time for the flock to rest. He was captured, but felt happy about it. He would learn more of his new home soon.
