 Agrona had grown bored of her own home in the North and had left in search of something. So far her search had led her to the Neutral territory and she still didn't know what she was searching for. Perhaps it was some bloodshed? A war or fight perhaps? For some odd reason none of those things interested her right now. She paused near a stream and flicked her tail. What was she looking for?! Growling in irritation she continued walking. It was then she noticed something..... there was no one around and it's been like that for quite some time. "Where is everyone?"

Wiski was upset. Terribly upset. Since his mistress had died many moons ago he had yet to find a replacement for her, if such a thing existed. And without a mistress to call his own he was lost. There was no one to tell him what to do, no one to tell him where to go, no one to tell him how he should think or feel. He was one very lost helix. "Perhaps I shall sleep......no perhaps I should hunt for food. No that's no good. Maybe take a walk?" With each suggestion he paced back and forth and every which way, muttering to himself, his eyes and tail down cast. His belly basically dragging on the ground for with each suggestion he found himself more confused then before. How did some helixes do it? How did they decide for themselves?

Agrona was moving on and paused only when she heard some noise. It sounded like someone muttering and a wispy, dragging noise. She cocked her head with a curious look. Was someone nearby? Would she be able to cause some trouble? She grinned at that idea and headed towards the noise. She came upon Wiski as he was walking/nearly crawling saying something about a walk. She watched him for a moment before growing irritated. "Just make up your stupid mind." She snapped finally at the older helix, "It's not hard at all. And if you don't make it up soon I'll do it for you!"

Snapping his head up, which for Wiski was more like glancing up, the yellow helix's heart leaped for joy. Oh if only she would! "You remind me of my mistress. Even your voice is as soothingly forceful as hers was." Oh to be in the company of one such as this female! "I beg pardon mam but I'm unused to making decisions for you see my late mistress made them for me up until the day of her death." O his mistress! Letting out a pitiful whine Wiski's entire body sagged even more.

Agrona glared at this idiot who couldn't do anything for himself on his own (tis how she's taking it). Why in the world would she want to order him around?! He clearly is insane...... Just then a wonderful idea popped into her head. She could order him around and he'd do anything she'd say. She grinned at this thought and wonder what kind of trouble she'd be able to stir up. "So you listen to everyone who's...... more dominate than you?" She asked to make sure.

"No my lady, nothing like that!" Had she taken offense to what he had said? And here he though she was a brilliant female like his mistress. Perhaps not as much as he believed. Giving her a secretive look from the corner of his eye he nodded his head slightly. Of course. She was too young to fully have the intelligence his mistress had had, but perhaps with time......
"I do not follow any dominate helixes order like some common animal. I have taste, a refined taste that's been honed with years of practice. Once I have come to a conclusion someone is worthy of my loyalty they are given it totally, I will follow no others word but that helixes." Perhaps now she would understand. "Though with no helix's orders to follow I'm lost." Giving a heartfelt sigh, he turned slightly away from Agrona and plopped down to the ground, even standing without the given order was too much of an effort.

Agrona sat down and curled her tail about her as she listened to Wiski's explanation. Her grin widened at the end of it. Oh how perfect this would be! If she could be his mistress she could order him around and he'd only listen to her. "I see.... very interesting...... and smart of you. Some helixes aren't worthy of ones trust and some, much like yourself, can't make up their own minds. Much easier if they have someone around to do it for them." She said pausing, "What is your name? I would like to know just who I'm speaking to."

Oh he had indeed misjudged her! He really was losing his mind without someone keeping his thoughts in order. Not only did she see his sound reasoning she had called him smart, and he wasn't used to compliments in the least! "Yes much easier with someone else doing it, agreed." Smiling slightly he realized it was the first time he had expressed any emotion besides distress since his mistress had died. Oh she must become his mistress! She must!
"My name dear miss is Wiski. And what may I call my lady who's brilliance will surely surpass my mistresses one day?" Groveling was something he did best. Maybe if he begged and complimented her enough she would allow him to serve under her. Oh what a joy!

Agrona was calculating on just how to win Wiski's trust and get him to choose her as his mistress. Her head had started to fall down in her concentration when he spoke. It snapped back up and she focused on what he was saying. "Hello Wiski..... very interesting name. I don't believe I've heard another like it." She said smiling, "My name, smart little Wiski, is Agrona." If one looked really hard at her smile they would notice something off about it, something that spoke of trouble and perhaps evil. For what he had said when asking her name had shown that she was already winning him over and to get him to choose her as his mistress would not be hard to do at all. The only problem would be to get him to leave this land and come with her to the North.

Nodding his head as if he was bowing Wiski smiled up at her. "I was bred from two special helixes, both under the services of more dominant helixes. I was bred specifically to serve their oldest daughter Alona from their first litter yet as I and my master family grew, it became obvious that the alpha of the litter was in fact the youngest, my old mistress Arani who later changed her name to Savita, meaning best in the universe."
Remembering the story and the times well Wiski sighed happily and continued his story. "I wasn't given my name until I hit adolescents where Savita named me Wiski, though it is indeed a different name I believe should my new mistress wish it I could easily change it." At the mention of a new mistress he glanced at her and locked his gaze on her coat. "But no matter my name it could not compare the the rarity and highness of your name Miss Agrona."

Agrona cocked her head curious about the info Wiski just fed her. So he was bred to serve another family of helixes. How interesting. She wondered if such a thing was still in use now. Surely not.... but she could hope. "Your past sounds quite interesting.... as does your old mistress. Very interesting that the alpha turned out to the youngest..... sometimes pups can surprise their elders." She said.
Hearing him say he wouldn't mind changing his name for her, as she assumed for who else could it be, she shook her head. "No no no. I quite like the name Wiski. It suits you somehow." She said. When he tried to compliment her name she frowned for a moment before getting a obvious fake and unhappy smile. "Oh no. My name may be rare but it is far from being a high name. In fact it had to be the lowest of names my parents could choose for me. A sick (yet accurate) joke on their behalf. They took one look at me and saw death. So they decided to name me something that means death. My name means slaughter and war." She said hating her parents for picking her to be the pup of death in her old old pack. Oh yes she had lots to live up to with that name..... but it wasn't hard to do and in fact she enjoyed it.

"Indeed my lady, indeed." Grinning he finally laid back down at her feet. There was no need to hold up any pretenses. He was now hers whether she agreed with it or not. Although hearing the story of her name he lowered his ears and head. Here he had hardly been in her service and yet already he had displeased her! Obviously the time he had been free had effected his judgment. It would not happen again he assured himself.
Most helixes would run away from the female at the story but Wiski had proven he wasn't most helixes. In fact the story sent a thrilled shiver down his spine. To know that he served such a strong helix that even in puphood her own parents had perceived her strength, was a high honor to him.
"I'm sorry to displease my mistress by bringing up such a memory. I had no intentions of doing such a thing. Should you wish me to make up for my lack of judgment I'd gladly go forth and kill these shameful parents of yours. That they dared do such a thing to you is unacceptable." And he meant every word. Somehow in that innocent and mutated mind death for the one he followed was not something considered a sinful act.

Agrona looked down somehow picking up on Wiski's mood. She cocked her head at him wondering why he was acting like she had scolded him or something similar to it. "Oh you didn't displease me..... I just don't like how my parents named me is all." She said smiling sweetly at him, "You couldn't have known that so I won't hold it against you."
Hearing him say he would go kill her parents made her laugh. "Oh no need for you do such a dirty deed. My parents are long gone from this world. They met their end in a bloody war between their pack and another." She explained leaving out the part that it had been she who had dealt the finishing blow, "But thank you for the offer."
Flicking her tail to her other side she stared down at the strange helix she found. Oh how useful he would be to her..... however she did have standards of her own and she would make sure that he would never be doing the dirty work and that he would never take a life. "Say Wiski...... how about we take a walk? I still haven't seen much of this area. I'm so used to the snowy barrenness of the North."

Nodding his head he kept the information he was gathering about her deeply buried in his mind, discarding some of the unimportant stuff he had learned about Savita. Agrona was his mistress now, that other female held hardly any importance now. "War has that effect. It's surprising some helixes believe they can end killing with more killing, it doesn't happen." It was truth, he had seen it and heard of it many times, never had he heard of a war that ended all killing.
Standing up he nodded his head, ears twitching slightly trying to pick up on the slightest noise. It was as if he had become a new person completely. No longer was he sulking acting as if he had no brain, instead he looked tall and erect like a proud warrior. With a mistress to protect and follow he no longer felt below anyone other then this beautiful female next to him. Unless she told him he was beneath another he would not display his previous show of weakness. "If it's what you wish I'd be glad to show you the area. You'll be surprised at the life it gives birth to."
Standing next to her anyone looking on would notice they were an odd pair. An older, stronger and possibly wiser male helix, and a young, beautiful and cunning female helix she ordering him around and he following every command without hesitation, standing behind her at a respectful distance.

Agrona nodded. "Yes you can't end war with more killing." She said standing up as well, "I would very much like to see what this area is like. It is more..... lively here. It's very different and interesting. But I'm not sure I could get used to it." She tilted her head thinking about living here and immediately tossed the idea from her head. It would never work. She loves the snow she lives upon and how she stands out from it so much.
She started walking but then noticed that Wiski was standing behind her a little ways away. She paused and looked back at him. "This certainly won't do. If you wish to show me the area you must be in the lead or at least next to me. It wouldn't do for me to get us both lost wandering around."
