The male studied Azuri as he sat there, casually leaning back on his haunches, his face calmer than ever. He seemed emotionless, and only flicked an ear in Azuri's direction when the spoke, listening. So this blond and white she-wolf in the tree was Fern, and apparently new within the ranks of Ruin Forest -- he didn't expect Fern to know who he was. Sadly, he had thought wrong, yet he said nothing, not knowing Fern knew who he was. He gave a small nod to Azuri when she eyed him a moment longer before she rose slowly to her paws, his wings shifting, he noticed, and then told him to follow while she escorted him back to her homelands. He felt awkward as he followed her through the soft grass, his brow furrowed slightly.
"You're sure that no one will eat me alive this time?"
he asked, his voice not mocking but smooth and joking in a playful matter. His blue eyes drifted upward as he caught a flicker of white and blond fur above him, and he could make-out the outline of Fern as she bounded through the treetops silently and gracefully. He stumbled when Azuri bounded smoothly up the stone steps, having not been paying attention and he tripped, faltering, but picking himself easily back up. He bounded up the stairs and waited, sitting himself on a crumbling ruin when he heard the click of claws against stone. His head whipped around, his fang tips showing slightly, when he met the identica blue eyes of Armius. He tilted his head to the side, giving his son a nod. |

The floor was as cold as ice on a frozen lakebed. It was sticking to her paws too. She felt her breath in front of her when she sighed. She wondered how the Alpha survived in such a place. She shifted her wings slightly, getting comfortable before nodding her exit to the alpha. She rose and turned her form around, walking back outside into the more lovable sunlight. Azuri turned her dome toward Ash-heart and smiled weakly, not counting on any happy actions from the Alpha. As she walked forward, she caught sight of one of Ash-hearts sons, Armius, behind him. They looked so similar. The structure, the fur, their stance and expression even seemed like mirror images. Azuri wanted to let out a big smile towards them for being true father and son figures, but she kept to herself and walked down the grey, rocky path into the clearing.
Setting foot on the soft grass she gave one last glance back at Ash-heart. She wanted to stay and make sure that everything went well and be of needed assistance to Aryus if wanted, but Azuri had to catch some breakfast for the pups. Her pups were in the den and were plenty old enough to be in training, but she had forgotten to ask Koran if he would like to take on one of her feisty pups back a few months ago. The pups came dashing out of the den and she stopped as she watched them drag a rabbit back to the den themselves. She smiled and sighed, they had grown stronger faster than she expected. They even remembered the time she usually got them their breakfast. She trotted slowly up to the kill pile and rapped her jaws around a nice hare. The smell entered her nose happily and she laid down on her stomach, wrapping her paws around the hare and tearing into its flesh and pulling the hair off of it.

Evyvindur halted as he heard the call that Ash-heart was here. He looked across camp to where Moon was and growled as she approached him. If she so much as touched him, she was dog-meat. Knowing she full well got the message, he began to pad off, annoyed with the whole situation.
Curiosity, made him look to the leader's den. He stopped dead in his tracks about a bound away. There stood his father, one he had never truly met. The one, he and his siblings had always wished to find and know. Armuis approached first and Evyvindur couldn't help, but lower his ears at the sight of the male nodding at his brother as if it was nothing. This wolf had something to learn about what he had done.
His blue eyes watched his father on the stone steps, not with hate or hostility, just betrayal.

The betrayal that was written all over Armius's face made him want to burst out explaining to them that when Moon had been pregnat, that he had not known they existed, for he had left his mountainous home for a season or two to go travel back to another place, and now apparently his daughters and sons blamed him for not being there for them. But he would give anything in the world to reverse time and be there for them, to protect them, to teach them, to love them. He looked guiltily down at these thoughts. he could have been a father, but he would never get that chance ever again ... Slowly, he looked -- well, glanced -- at the lichen to see Azuri step out and go down the ruin steps and look back at him once and smiling before she too, vanished. Very slowly, he looked at his sons, meeting two pairs of eyes all at once. He was so calm and he paused. He knew this may anger them, but he knew they all needed to know the full story.
"I can explain."
Armius watched his face, his face coldly blank, his blue eyes revealing nothing, but a voice whispered to him that he shouldn't be too harsh upon his father; he could tell that Ash-heart wanted to tell them something -- or alot of things. He continued to silently stare at his father, glancing at Evy, who had followed his suiet, and was staring at their father with the face of betrayal. Gently his tail tip brushed his brother's flank before the blue eyes looked back at Ash-heart to see their father meeting both of their eyes, saying that he could explain. Armius kept silent, not meeting his father's eyes. Very slowly, he replied, his voice coldly cool and just as calm and collected,
"You can explain after you're done talking with Aryus and our pathetic mother; and after our sister comes." the young male paused, allowing his father to speak again.
"I thought there was four, is what I was told the day I returned and Moon told me she had pups... there was a cream one..." Ash-heart inclined his head slightly to the right, studying his son skepticaly.
"Aphrodite has gone and joined Black Valley like the fool she is," Armius replied, not looking directly at his father now and instead his bitter voice was directed to the Aphrodite who wasn't there, who had joined a blood-thirsty pack and basicly she was a fool for it, and he would never forgive her -- nor their mother. Slowly, his ocean blue gaze looked at his brother, Evy, who still had the betrayed look on his face, his eyes asking his beloved brother if he'd like to put in a word or two.
[OOC.] sorry for the views constantly changing up...

Evyvindur felt like snorting at Ash-heart's remark. Such words didn't really solve everything so easily. Instead, he kept it in, but his lips barely pulled back to show teeth for a split-second. He was glad though about his brother being so close to him now. Both would probably lose it if Ash-heart did exactly what Moon had said and done to convince them. She was a pathetic excuse of a wolf now, would Ash-heart follow suit?
He listened to Armuis' response with nothing more than a twitch in his ears. Aphrodite...he remembered playing with her when they were still pups. He wondered what she looked and acted like now because of the filthy pack she lived with. Power was always something anyone admired, no matter who they were. Actually doing something with the crave of power in your paws was something Aphrodite had done. Now the wolf knew what kind of lives she'd killed and tortured, Seafall for starters.
His brother finally looked towards him and he could see what was being asked. Did he himself have something to say to this wolf they had once considered a hero? The answer was yes. Evyvindur's blue gaze looked back at their father and his tail began to raise ever so slightly. His haunches pushed his paws onto the ground and he stood up again. His gaze hardened quickly all of a sudden after a brief pause.
"Time for explaining has gone and passed along with time. Right now, all you can do is hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears, but ones that are still alight and burning. Hoping for the words they so want to hear, but the ones the heart has already considered to be lies," he said quietly with a force behind it.
Evyvindur put his head up high and continued. "Armuis is right, we shall wait to hear what you have to say after those points fulfilled."
