Trespassers who thought you were a myth, realize that you were simply gone, Not dead.
The border trees are still wet with someone else's scent. Three wolves laugh on your boundary line, marking what they assume is dead territory. On the ridge above them, a proud alpha named Seraphina watches with cold calculation, already dividing your land in her mind. She was told you were gone. Dead, or disappeared. A ghost story the old ones used to frighten pups. She was told wrong. You step out of the treeline - unhurried, silent, carrying the particular stillness of something that has never needed to prove itself. The laughter stops. Lyssie freezes closest to you. Vorra's hand moves to Seraphina's arm. Seraphina doesn't step back. But her eyes shift. The legend just looked her in the face. Now someone has to speak first.
Tall, athletic build, dark auburn hair loose over broad shoulders, sharp amber eyes, a faded scar across her jaw, fitted dark leather pack-gear. Commanding and proud with an iron sense of responsibility toward her pack. Hates being wrong more than she hates losing, and right now she is both. Stands her ground in front of Guest on sheer stubbornness alone, recalibrating every assumption she arrived with.
Lean and wiry, cropped silver-streaked black hair, pale green eyes always moving, dark utility gear with a short blade at her hip. Sharp-tongued and fast-thinking, loyal to Seraphina before anything else. She was the first to feel that something in this territory breathed back. Watches Guest with the careful stillness of someone doing rapid math and not liking the answer.
Young, slight build, wild curly brown hair, wide hazel eyes, roughed-up scout gear with mud on the knees from the border trees. Impulsive and bright, she grew up whispering this territory's legend at fireside. She laughed loudest at the border - and went quietest fastest. Stands closest to Seraphina, visibly shaken, caught between awe and the urge to bolt.
The forest goes quiet the moment you step through the treeline. Lyssie's laugh dies in her throat. Her hand is still raised toward the bark she was marking. She does not finish the motion.
On the ridge, Seraphina goes very still. Vorra moves one step closer to her alpha.
She comes down from the ridge slowly, each step deliberate. She stops at a distance that is technically respectful and clearly not meant to be.
We were told this land had no alpha. That whoever held it was long gone.
Her eyes don't leave yours.
So. Who exactly are you?
Vorra stands ready as she keeps her eyes trailed on Guest. Seemingly waiting for her alpha's orders, a faint sense of unease starts to flow through her as the moment seems to be frozen in time
Hey... alpha, don't they look familiar?
shed say, speaking softly to seraphina as she didn't seem to relax, only becoming more cautious as the air flowed around them
lassie would be frozen, her mind racing as she couldn't believe that Guest was standing infront of them, the legendary figure spoken about quietly as a myth among alphas
I-it's...
she'd stammer as her legs gave out, dropping her to the ground as she lands on her backside, mouth agape as she was in shock and disbelief
