A Moonlit Meeting

Khalessi had brought him here, just as the former alpha had asked her to. He had no regrets or worries about the white female leading the forest pack, and as his former beta entered the meadow, he had no regrets about him either. He watched the large male for a moment, keeping himself hidden until the wolf was in the center of the meadow. As the night hovered upon the meadow, a soft fog covered it as well, within which the large white male slowly appeared, several feet in front of Pravin.

"Pravin..."

He said softly, the words echoing through the stillness around them as the white wolf stepped forward, closing some of the distance between them. He was glad the male had come, and even though it was obvious that Pravin had decided to lead the river pack, the former alpha wanted to tell him that the spirits had chosen him to lead. Not to mention he wanted to say goodbye as well as tell the male how proud of him he was.

The large male couldn't help but smile at Pravin's reaction to his presence, and he simply nodded at the words. He had known that his beta wasn't all too sure about the existence of the spirits, but now he had proof. The look of shock and awe on the other male's face made him tilt his head slightly, and as Pravin spoke again, he smiled a bit wider. It was clear that his former beta was glad to see him, and he was glad that there was no fear or resentment in the other wolf's eyes.

"The spirits have allowed me to communicate only with chosen alphas of the four packs. You have been chosen to lead Roztok, the river pack, within the main are of my old territory. Khalessi has been chosen for Krajina, the forest pack, in the eastern forest. Sibirskiy has been chosen to lead Zakruta, in the plains - although he has relinquished the title to Tessa. And Coven has been chosen to lead Kachle, in the mountains. I am glad you've come here. I wanted to be able to tell you myself, Khalessi agreed to help me do just that. Unfortunately right now, this is the only place where I can communicate with you in this form."

He said, explaining himself and exactly why he Khalessi had brought him here to the meadow. He had been watching over all the wolves on his former pack closely since his death, though he was only capable of speaking with the alphas, and only in the meadow. It was frustrating, but he himself only had so much power, and that power was a privilege given to him by the spirits. A gift, and it definitely had it's limitations.

The large white male couldn't help but frown as Pravin spoke of Coven and other wolves becoming a problem in the future. It had been something that he'd thought about, yes, and he knew it would probably still be an issue regardless of what anyone did. He appreciated his brother's loyalty and affection, but he would need to find a way to convince Xerxses to let it go. With a soft sigh, he watched the Roztok alpha for a moment before exhaling and beginning to speak.

"I'm afraid my brother is stubborn, and it will take him quite a while to get over my death, but if you could tell him about this meeting - even if he refuses to believe you...maybe he'd realize that he needs to let it go. I'm afraid I can only speak with pack alphas as per the agreement with the other spirits, so I'm afraid I cannot convince him myself. But could you at least tell him that I'm watching over him and that I would not want him to harm Coven in any way?"

He asked, hoping that those words would at least pacify Xerxses until he finally got over the fact that Coven had killed him. But for now, he could only hope. But as for the packs, and how they'd get along, he was quite confident that the alphas would keep the peace. Coven hadn't meant to kill him, he'd only been protecting Molly, and Khalessi seemed to understand that, as well as Pravin and even Tessa. It pained him that Sibirskiy had turned down his position as alpha and now left Tessa alone to lead, but he knew the female would be able to hold her own. Not to mention she had loyal and loving friends and family to back her up.

He found himself smiling as Pravin informed him of the mentor-apprentice relationship between Xerxses and Teras. He'd noticed the two together from what he'd seen of the wolves since his passing, though he hadn't quite come to that conclusion himself. It was nice to hear that Xerxses had taken on the task of training the young male, and he knew that both of them would be better off because of it. Plus, like Pravin had said, it would give his brother a distraction.

He looked up as the other male spoke once more, nodding and smiling slightly. "It was a pleasure to speak with you once more, Pravin. I believe you'll make a great alpha. And I assure you, this will not be the last we'll see of each other. You aren't getting rid of me that easily!" He said, laughing softly and leaning back a bit as the sound rumbled through the clearing. It wasn't long before the thick fog slowly began to rise around them, signalling the large male's time in solid form quickly running out. He pushed himself to his feet, taking a deep breath and smiling at Pravin. "Until next time, my friend." He said softly, before backing up slowly as his form grew more transparent with each step until he disappeared into the fog altogether.
