Something was on the wind, something that smelled different, new, not just the visitors that had come about, the shaman of such sun like cosmic colors was not the only new friend that she had made. Rage blinked, amber eyes peering at the waves lapping the shore, foam covering the sandy beaches below her paws, and she smiled. Her son and daughter were getting so strong, and would soon grow older now, she was older too, not as childish and fool-hardy as she had been before, but wiser, more cunning, strong.
She was strength.
This was her home.
Here was where her family was, her mate Daemon, her children, best friend, Phib, and Amelie, who were very much like parents to her.
She loved them so.

His eyes watched her for a time, a smile on his dark maw, tail still, blue, seemingly lifeless eyes gazing with a tender love in their depths, the ridgeback mane falling over his back gently touched by he cool breeze. He noticed how quiet she had been lately, with new friends coming near the borders, she seemed worrysome, to make sure that new friends made were friends, not foes posing as heartfilled travelers. Flicking his tail he let his paws step onto the beach, sand shifting beneath his paws, steady rhythm like a drum guiding him.
Daemon looked at her, then took a place beside her, nudged her affectionately.
"So distant...what bothers you?"

"Nix is upset..." she said softly, her sister meant more to her than so many other things, she was family, love, friendship, rolled into a single wolfess amongst the others that dwelled here, she didn't go any further than that. It had something to do with Cellen, her children. She knew of Kia and Valen still remaining here, playing with the pups from Senku and Katana's litter, Lous, Redlea, and the little brown and blue girl that seemed so tender and kind.
She flicked her tail, sniffed the air. "The others, they want to stay...Nabu'na and his followers, I think they'll bring life here, protection, among other things," she didn't talk about the female Twist, her strange quirks, no.
"I spoke with Phib, not that long ago..." and she stopped, peered at him, a smile on her maw, "I'm going to be alpha."
Her pup dream, seemed to be stepping with her own paws.

Daemon stayed focus, Nix was important to his mate, and so were the pups, the newcomers seemed to have touched her in a manner as well, and he smiled. Things seemed to be changing, some stayed the same though. Logan still loved his darling Echo, Noir, the supposed Phib and Amelie wolfess, once fully blind, was now able to see outlines somewhat. A miracle of sorts, so many things changing.
Wrigley still was devoted to his love Cassidy, and amongst their children, Amara, the fluffy furred girl still acted like a child, but in the most innocent of ways. Some things changed, but some remained the same.
Her last words took him by surprise, and he yipped, nuzzled her affectionately. One of her dreams, the seemed to be coming into the light, and he smiled. "Thats wonderful..." was all he could manage to say that meant anything close to what he wished to exclaim.

For the silence that remained between them for a few moments, Rage recalled the others that she saw pass now and again, Senku's sister, Anokain'thros, still roamed here and there, eyeing Ghilt now and again. The vagabond female, Dragonsrage, so close to her own namesake, seemed to seclude herself even still, her wound upon her leg never fully healed, for the wound could easily be open again, fresh, prone to infection. Though the sea water seemed to help, which was wonderful for the poor time worn wolfess.
The two Dragonsrage had brought with her, look alikes of herself, Ryu and Ano, roamed here and near sometimes. Ryu seeing Backus, oh how she remembered him, but something had changed, straying away from herself into this Ryu, and things seemed alright. Ano was still so pure, happy, speaking with Amara and the children from time to time.
Valen watched his youngest sister, her nephew and niece, and she loved them dearly as well, watched them as they had grown. Ohka still remained, watching her children and grandbabies from afar, missing her lost lover from which her children had sprouted.
Oh how times had changed.

Daemon mused himself as well, and watched her intently, though thought of the newcomers, Nabu'na, a strong wolf indeed with his right paw wolf Derrob, a sly character is he had ever seen one, much trickier, smarter, with many things, then his own wandering brother Arguin, that still awaited for the return of his mate who had, he heard, had gone to another wolf.
His foolish brother.
Malik was still a fine fellow, one of the guards just as Logan and Wrigley, watching the borders, making sure the little ones remained protected in the lines of the territory, this was a grand place, not to be disturbed.
"You should call a meeting soon, then, so everyone can know, and so this new time can be prosperous love," he said low, with his tone that touched her heart, and made his heart feel warm.

"Yes, I believe its time to go about something like that, yes," she had ideas, plans, that would make Phib be proud of her, look at her with pride adn the daughter that really, truly wasn't his by blood, but perhaps another manner of such magic and tender giving, he'd remember she is like his own. A strange father daughter bond if anyone saw. Times were changing, things were changing, to be different, anew, stronger then before (not that it hadn't been strong, though Tearh sometimes teased Phib from afar about being old, but she never dared say that before his wise green orbs. Tearh saw him as her grandfather).
"Something else too, I believe this pack can grow bigger, no just in size of members, but in terrain," she glanced at Daemon from the corner of her eyes. "Philokiss, the shaman spoke to me, and the other night below the soon I ventured in the direction I, and you had come from..." her voice was barely audible, a whisper so soft and gentle.
"I found it..."

from which they had come? Daemon tilted his head at her statement, found it, it it? He quirked a brow at her, the stories that Nabu'na had told him, that Philokiss had spread to his ears, were about the mark that Rage, his mate, Tearh, his daughter, and Ryu and Ano, two pieces of a living puzzle carried upon their pelt from birth and creation. Dragonsrage also carried it, though whether ot not it had existed beneath the scarred and torn flesh on her shoulder, was still a mystery.
The stories were of how the mark could open the door, be the key into the hidden home from which he, his brother, his mate, his mate's sister, and a few others had escaped from.
All of them had ended up, not by mere irony, no, he didn't believe that, but by fate.
To bring about a new generation of prosperity to the hidden sanctuary.
"How...is it?" it was his birthplace, where his family had been when he left, and curiousity caught his tongue.

When he said how she was going to tell how she had found it, it had been after she spoke with the shy tongued wolfess Eevee, who Amara had come to adore, and Noir ha come to lean on when the three ventured together to the streams and beach. she stood, shook her pelt, and peered at the waves again, she remembered the first time she saw them, when she had come here after running and leaving it all behind her, when Phib and Amelie had found her, cared for her (even though, truth be told, Phib scared the heck out of her at first).
"Its green again, the scent of the past has died away, taken by the wind, plentiful with food, deer and caribou seem to like to live amongst the forested area and the thickets are more apt to the tendencies of the hares and fawns...it was...beautiful Daemon..." it could have brought tears to her amber, slowly becoming silver, reason unknown, hues.
"I think it would be best to let it stay hidden though love, though known where in case we would need to vacate to somewhere safe, weather or others could try to drive us from here for a time. Its best to have a safekeeping area, just in case..."
She had to think ahead, think as Phib would.
She wanted to make him proud.

It was...alive again, as if Arguin had gone back and somehow rejuvenated the soil once more, as if Philokiss had been reunited with his lover and brought light back to the ashed soil. He smiled, resisting the urge to crane his neck back and howl with excitement, he couldn't believe what was happening. Change was occuring, but things from the past were returning, adn nothing could change what wonders were coming forth.
Their birth home had been found.
Their children were growing.
His love was to be alpha.
Daemon himself could not be more proud.
"Tearh adn Ghilt will be so excited, Nix might be jealous for some time," he said with a chuckle, though he knew his lover's sister would be so happy, so happy indeed.

Rage let a light laugh pass from her maw and she blinked turned and took a few steps down the beach, making sure her mate was close to her side, and he was, he always was. "I want to make him proud Daemon..." she said while she walked, both heading for their den, sunset was approaching, and a nap before a lesson in night life to heir children was in order.
Phib had mentioned just slightly that he might travel, though Amelie would stay close, and that soothed her worrysome heart, she didn't want them to leave, and have the possibility of not returning. It would make her heart so torn, she wasn't sure if she'd be able to breath.
She had lost everything once before, she didn't want to lose something else, so dear to her now.

"I'm sure that you will make him proud, he'll see it, he will," he didn't want Rage to worry. She was such a fine wolfess nad she tried to hard to go around to see if everything was alright, that the pups were being cared for, that everyone was able o be fed, safe, have a den that was safe and protective. He smiled, graced his side against hers affectionately and walked with her, heading home, this home, though anther home they both knew so well lingered nearer now than it had before.
Rage would make a fine leader indeed, he wondered if she was alpha, would that make him one too? But he chuckled internally, being an alpha was not his dream, it was hers, he would be supportive of her through everything, absolutely everything.
Nabu'na was the alpha of his little group, so perhaps Rage would enlist him to help with the watching of everyone else, besides Phib of course, he had a feeling Rage would still have him fr up on the scale, Phib was Phib afterall.

Rage was comforted by her mates soft words, and she growled soft, like a purr, and nuzzled her cheek against his own, spying the den and stepping inside, she padded over to her spot and nestled herself, curled up, her children still sleeping, on their backs, almost clinging to one another, paws up in the air as an ear or paw twitched every now and then.
She smiled, watching them, and waited for Daemon to join her until she would settle for sleep.
He kept her grounded, and she would need him at her side in the days to come.

Daemon joined her soon after she got herself settled, curling around her protectively he rested his head on her neck lightly as to not apply too much pressure (accidentally he did it once, and she had a sore neck and it pained her to move). Curling his tail around hers he smile to himself as he watched his, their pups sleep next to each other. They indeed would be the next generation of this pack, them, Nix and Cellen's ast litter, Senku and Katana's litter, they were the next generation.
Who knew what the future would bring though, really?
"You have a lot to do in the upcoming days..." only her, she was the one who had been promoted, and she would be the new alpha here, and he couldn't be more proud. He would support her every step of the way, for their souls were entwined in the deepest of ways.

"I know..." Rage said softly, hearing her mate's breaths become softer, calmer, smoother, and she smiled, letting the last glimpse of sun rays penetrate through hte den's entrance, adn she too closed her eyes. She smiled though, as she drifted off to sleep, the air was crisp and cool, bats and raven's flying from tree to tree, the fluttering of wings echoing almost silently in hte beginning moments of the night. But she smiled, listening to the waves lap the shore.
The tides were changing.
