As Strong mighty and as capable as ever the black tribal wolf awaited for the alpha male of the pack at the specified location just off the shore. Specified by Ajax because of the rocks that were surrounded by the dry sand just outside of the forest, it provided three very important lesson areas all in a small area.
While waiting for Wazaam and Jayzee, Ajax took the opportunity of the piece and quiet to get into his zone, remember his teachings when he raised up his own army and got him into the frame of mind that as a father he had tucked away. The Ajax that sat with his eyes closed now could hear everything around him and if even looked at the wrong way, it would the last thing ever seen by that poor creature. However, now there was a sense of compassion and leniency that his daughters had taught him were most important when dealing with the others. All of these things he thought about, sitting atop a slightly high rock.

Jayzee trotted through the forest heading for the area of shore that her father/trainer had directed them to go to for their first training session. She had been informed that she would be training alongside the packs alpha male and this made her wonder what the training sessions were going to end up being like. Besides the fight she'd had with Vianna she had never fought anyone before and now she would be trained to fight.
Coming on to the edge of the forest she stopped just at the last line of trees before the hard dirt turned to the soft sand of the beach. As she looked across the beach she spotted Ajax's black coat sitting upon a rock however this Ajax was not the father she knew well this was a different Ajax one she did not know. This Ajax had the air of a warrior, a strong warrior, and she could tell immediately that this Ajax would demand her respect and not her back lash rudeness. A new experience was at her door step and she was ready for it as she placed a paw upon the soft sand and started out onto the beach.

Alas had spotted Ajax off the shoreline, this was the packs warrior. She was curious about him and his family, they too seemed a bit distanced from each other. A sister against a sister made her deeply troubled, what was happening in the pack to create such rivalries. She slipped down from her den and headed to where the wolves seemed to be gathering.
To train... She realized as she sat down not far off to watch. So it seemed that there would be more warriors, no doubt Twist had a paw in this. What would we need warriors for...except to fight...a war. Such troubling thought, still Alas was a healer and if there was to be training small injuries might occur. She had always promised her aid to any of her pack who needed it.
"Hello..." She muttered softly tipping her muzzle in greeting before relaxing and deciding to observe. She would do well to watch how the others were taught to attack, should she ever need to defend herself.

The orange pelted wolf peered out from the wooded trees, and debated whether to really join the training or not. He wasn't the type to train to fight. What did he need to fight for? Long as he acted tough, that was all that mattered right?...Right?..
His paws drove him out into the open with the other wolves, and he glanced around, only recognizing the pink she-wolf.
Twist had told him he was going to be starting his training today, and told him to come here.. He assumed this was where he was supposed to be.
"Good afternoon.'
He said,voice deep and emerald orbs glittering.
"My name is Wazaam,and it's a pleasure to meet other members of this pack."
He said, trying to muster a smile.

Ajax's eyes opened not to his daughter, but to the presence of the pink wolf that was not invited. Normally this was a kill first, ask questions later situation however this wolf seemed not to have a fighting bone in her body so he let his first instinct go and remained in his seat and spoke to the stranger with a very firm tone.
"Who are you and how may I help you before sending you on your way? This is a private lesson." Looking at her, there was a strength that had layed dormat for quite some time in his eyes.
At Wazaam's presence however he bowed as he was trained to do and glared at his daughter for her to do the same to the orange wolf. "Glad you found your way, both of you. Jump on a rock and get ready..." His eyes then returned to the pink wolf, waiting.
The scent of another wolf was in the air, but it was so faint only one looking for it would find it. Another teen related to two wolves in the main group was drenched in mud to cover up any traces of her, or atleast that's what she was told it'd do. She just wanted to watch, learn what her father would not teach her.

Alas tilted her head and moved a bit closer she would not be intimidated, she was as much a part of the pack as the rest and though they were blind to what was happening among them she was not. She sat down a bit closer and looked at Ajax seriously.
"I'm the pack's healer, and I've come to ensure any injury small or large sustained during this private lesson is tended to. It won't do them any good to be injured training and end up in a true fight with a disadvantage of a wound." She gave only the barest tip of her muzzle towards Wazzam, but the way she had seen Twist more as a struggling child until she saw her as a manipulative adult tainted her view of Wazzam. She saw only a teenage pawn of the alpha female, oh yes he acted the part of an alpha male very well, but to Alas he lacked his own intent. Still she offered him a smile, how her heart would rejoice to see the families patched up, to see two sisters united instead of divided and to see two brothers once again with their family. Her heart went out to Kattana again and she promised herself she would find a way to fix what had gone wrong in the pack.

Jayzee walked across the sand till she stood only a few feet from the rock that Ajax sat on. As he spoke to a new wolf presense Jayzee gazed at the pink female not quite sure who she was but gave her an angry gaze to say her presense in this private training session was not welcome.
However the voice of another took her attention away from the pink wolf and to the orange wolf that introduced himself as Wazaam. She had never seen him before now but had heard of him being the alpha male of the pack. Looking back to Ajax she noticed the glare he gave her and she returned the glare remembering quite well what her mother had taught her for when she met the alpha but just because she was taught it didn't mean she liked bowing to this wolf alpha or not.
Turning back to Wazaam she slowly bowed her head to him in respect before she turned away from all the wolves and went to the closest rock she could find and climbed onto it. There she sat down and awaited calmly for the lesson to begind.

Ajax listened to the pink female once again, normally her reception would have been different but now all that flashed in his head was the annoyance that these became on the battlefield. He wasn't trying to intimidate her, this was simply to be private.
"Fine, you may stay, healer. But don't interfere, keep out of my way and I don't want to hear a word from you. Capeash?"
Watching his daughter for a moment he gave a very tid bit of a smile, thanking her for not embarrassing him for that's all her rudeness might have done, honestly.
"Alright, shall we begin?"

The orange wolf nodded to Ajax and grinned.
"I am ready for training, though I do feel inclined to ask you your name, trainer."
He said, tail flickering back and forth. Not really wagging, but the wolf had no problems right now, and he was fairly certain it wasn't rude to ask a name.
He looked at Alas,and gave a smile as well, though it could be said it was half-hearted though he hid it almost perfectly.
His emerald orbs caught sight of the other wolf.. Another teen, and he cocked his head, seeing some resemblence between his trainer, and herself.

"My apologies, I thought Twist would have told you. I'm Ajax, this is one of my daughters, Jayzee and my other Vianna is at home with my mate KC." That should be suffiecent enough to decist the talking from his pupils for a little while, at least enough time for him to get a bit in.
"Everything that happens, happens for a reason, there's always a force driving it. Most things we do to avoid death, and fighting both literaly and figuritvly is our answer to our own survival. We hunt because we're hungery, we drink because we're thirsty and we breath because we need air.
The first step to survival anywhere is to know the threats around you. This is why I teach my soilders the art of meditation so that when they're done training they're always in a constant state of awareness, ready to pick up any small scent, sound or taste of the air to detect an enemy or a threat wether they're waiting for it or not.
Sit on your rock, and close your eyes. Breath deeply, push out your own thoughts, doubts, and worries and just open yourself up to your surroundings. Tell me, what do you hear? Heartbeats of the wolf next to you, seagulls, fish, or the sound of an unwanted visitor approaching?"
Ajax remained still and waited for his answer from either that spoke up first.
Vianna, who sat in the distance calmed her own heartbeat hoping the others wouldn't pick up on it and closed her eyes relaxing as she too tryed to pick up the noises of those around her. All she could really smell was the coat of mud on her fur.

Jayzee had her ears perked and eyes on her father as he spoke. She focused her attention the best she could and did as instructed to do. She took in several deep breaths and closed her eyes. For several moments she heard nothing as she did her best to remove the irritation and anger that came along with the thoughts running through her mind. Clear the mind. So many thoughts racing through keeping her from focusing on anything else as emotions raced. Clear the mind! Slowly they all disappeared and an empty blackness replaced them leaving her with the sounds of the wind blowing across the sand, through the tops of the trees of the forest and through the fur of her and the others on the beach.
"I can hear the wind. I can hear it flowing through the branches, over the sand and even shifting about the fur of our pelts." Jayzee said as she focused in on it. "It's moving bits of sand about and hitting them against the rocks..."

Wazaam nodded a greeting to the older male, and then looked at the rock he was supposed to sit upon. Surely this was all a gag.. Meditation? How did that make anyone a better fighter?
But he snorted, and took his seat upon the rock that seemed to call him, and he closed his eyes, listening to the other female speak.
His left eye kept stealing peeks at everything around him, and he quickly shut them tighter when Ajax looked his way.
"Uh.."
He thought hard. What did he hear?
His mind opened to him, and he heard war. An evil, bloody war that seemed inevitable.
There were growls, snarls and the sound of fangs and evil.
He shuddered a bit, but found he was incapable of releasing himself from teh open state of mind.
This wasnt the future right? This wasnt what his pack was based on..?..
He didnt know, and quickly he opened his emerald eyes and shook his head.
"I see nothing.."
His bright orange muzzle turning the other direction, in fear.

In the process of working up pride towards his daughter that was almost a perfect physical representation of him and his mate, he was forced to stop and be the teacher to the pupil that didn't quite seem to grasp the material.
The male's eyes were opening then closing, and there was an aura of fear all around him, fear, disbelief, doubt and panic. Hoping down off of his own rock, the black male slowly walked towards the alpha's mate.
"Wazaam, this feeling that you are experiencing right now is the one I will teach you to avoid. This feeling, is what gets you and your pack killed. An object is only as strong as it's weakest point."
After a moments pause, he spoke again. "Come down here and sit before me. You stay there Jayzee, and keep your eyes closed but your mind open." Making sure the teen's eyes were closed Ajax picked up a rock in his mouth and flung it at her to see her reaction.
Vianna, sitting off in the trees with a boulder separating herself from the group was listening very intently with her mind open and her body completely complacent. But she couldn't completely get there like Jayzee apparently was able to. She heard the water beating against the rocks, her father's tail wagging in pride, but that was about it. Nothing more about her surroundings.
Thankfully she wasn't the only one, when Wazaam showed a similar problem she held in a sigh of relief and peeked her head over to watch what her father had to say. Was this to be the alpha male of the pack she was in? Damn I hope Dad's a good teacher.

Jayzee's ears twitched as she did her best to resist the temptation to open her eyes as she heard her father move from his rock and hop down onto the sand. Hearing him move made her want to open her eyes and watch him but he told her not to so she didn't.
Her ears continued to twitch picking up on every move her father made even the odd clink of his teeth from where he picked up the rock. The sound was different from what she'd heard before but with the simple exhale of breath that came with exerting the energy to toss the rock she knew something was up. Out of automatic reaction she opened her eyes just in time to see the rock and dodge.
Glancing over her shoulder to the direction the rock flew she huffed and turned her gaze on Ajax. "Why'd you throw that at me?!"

Wazaam watched Ajax for a moment. He wasn't sure he liked the way he was being talked to.. it sounded alot like his own father, too much for his liking. But he shrugged it off. A pack that had discipline needed to be shown discipline from its leader.. and if this was what he needed to accomplish, he would.
But he didnt understand how his feeling scared when asked to close his eyes, meant that he would get the pack killed.
He saw the questioning of himself in Vianna's eyes, and chose to ignore it. This was far too outrageous for him..
He stood from his perch, and leapt down, padding to follow the older males orders. He was careful in moving, after seeing Ajax throw a rock at his daughter.
What was wrong with this male?!
He shook his head. He was in for it.
"Alright.. Now what." He said, flopping onto his haunches while waiting for Ajax.
