The sun was low by the time Cortana reached her home. Pink and orange fought a battle for who was to own the sky, a fain hint of midnight blue patched with stars opposite the sunset. The white and pink striped wolfess was feeling strong, stronger perhaps then she'd ever felt. It may have been the fresh meal half way digested by now, but most cirtainly it was the completeness. She had her land, she had her friends, and she had her family. Before Wolf Mountain, Cortana had only wanted power. Now that she knew what life could be, she only respected power. It helped, but it was not important. Not anymore. With the love and friendship she'd found, she could almost care less if she were weak. At least she knew she'd be properly taken care of.
Just after she'd crossed the borders to her Coral Flower Pack lands, she saw a very familiar sight. No, it wasn't the midnight wolfess lingering near the other border, it was an orange dragon the size of a wolf with tattered black wings and glowing yellow eyes. He rushed toward the wolfess with what seemed like urgence. Cortana clenched her teeth, knowing this could only mean bad news. Otherwise, Spartan wouldn't so much as bother her with his presence. However anti-social and ornary the Halloween Dragon was, Cortana had made sure he'd learned to be loyal and obediant from a young age. Standing stock still, the wolfess' white feathered wings fluttered angrily already.
Spartan reached his mistress quickly, coming to a halt before her with annoyance in his expression. A hiss and shutter of his own wings told the wolfess that, indeed, it was bad enough news to rattle his nerves. "Someone's raising their flag in the pack," he said slowly, venemous voice itching at rage. Though he had been present during the previous fight for the packlands, Spartan had only been an egg at the time. So, Spartan knew nothing of Tayen and the struggle for the Coral Flower lands, only that they belonged to his mistress and nobody else held the right to walk in with their tail up in the air.
The wolfess' deep pink eyes narrowed, the pupil becoming but a tiny pin prick of black. Ears went flat back along her head, a silent snarl coming to her lips. She would not have someone thinking they could walk in and claim her lands. "Thank you, you may go," she said to the dragon. It lingered a second too long. "GO!" That was the end of that. Spartan disappeared in a frenzy of running, hissing his indignaty. Lifting her pink nose to the air, Cortana took in the scent of this stranger... Tayen.
Her ears flicked forward once more, pink tipped tail giving a quick flick. She'd been expecting this, though she didn't know when it would come. Pink paws made their way slowly until she was in sight, confirming that it was actually her. Deciding it best to leave surprises as surprises, Cortana withdrew her wings. Last time all she faught was a large striped she-wolf, and this time she'd think the same. Stopping fifteen paces away, Cortana held her tail and head high, showing no signs of offense at Tayen's presence. "Staying long?" she asked, a cruel smirk lining her jaws.
