Morning came and went leaving Piper to her thoughts that afternoon. Wolves from war had long since returned home and with it the sense of victory Piper wished she shared in. To her death without cause meant nothing, though she would never share that belief. She never knew what caused Teren to attack Helidos, to slay its Alphess and kill so many others. What reason did he have other than being an alpha? Piper guessed she would never understand the ways of leaders, but still respected him for leading her pack to victory. Winter had set in and with it the strange antics from the adults once more. Vaguely remembering it from last year, this time around it seemed more and more fae's flocked to Teren's den, to do who knows what. Curious she wished Ariste was around more to ask her about it, but sadly she too was one of the many sheep that followed after Teren.

Piper soon entered a beautiful valley in the neutrals and here her nose smelled a new wolf. His scent matched Helidos and she also could tell he had been recently treated for some injury by the bitter scents in his pelt. Luckily the wind was against her so she managed to sneak remarkably close to him before he would notice her. A evil thought flashed through her mind to attack him, bring him back as captive and gain more respect from Teren. Then as quickly as the thought entered, it vanished, leaving only curiosity of the newcomer. Stepping out from behind some rocks she cleared her throat to alert him. He stood a tad taller then her, but she was still an admiral height for a fae her age. Her brown and cream coat groomed nicely and dark amber eyes highlighting her face. Standing tall she tried to look older then the nearly two years she was, as she hated being refereed to as a child anymore. Since gaining her adult rank Piper had matured more, forge ting puppy games and focusing more on training, she had to grow up sometime.

"Hello brute."

He was way too happy and naïve to be of her pack so instantly Piper drew back her lips in a snarl. His pupish attitude reminded her of how strong she was, of how better she was. She had focus, determination and enough sense to act defensive when in sights with a vicious warrior. "I am an Erenyx warrior, one of the finest. My name is Piper, who are you?" She growled, lashing her tail behind him. She had to make a good show for her pack, especially since he was a stranger to him. She had to be strong and tough, she couldn't let the pack or Ariste down. He looked slightly older then her, but by his healing injuries she saw she wasn't concerned with a fight. Maybe she'd kidnap him after all and take him to Teren. Her mind reeled with visions of his promoting her further because of it. Maybe she'd get to be his Beta! Excited about this she watched the male, willing him to give her a reason to attack and get him. Flexing her paws in the fresh snow her tail twitched behind her, anxious for a fight.
