~Chassity trotted quickly to Tatsu's side, but slowed down so that they were directly side by side. "I came from the Barbain tribe," she said simply. She wanted to keep her phrase short, but she felt like adding more. "Growing up there was very rough. A soft member wouldn't last there. There were always fighting. It was rare that a day would do by without blood on the floor. Thankfully, my mentor taught me essential skills. Handling myself was one of them. When I rose to the rank of lead warrior, the fights started pointing toward me no matter how I tried to help," she paused. The last sentence could be a bit misleading to the delta. She would wonder how the fights lead to her in the first place. "The fights would happen because the higher ranking wolves treated subordinates like they were nothing but bugs that crawl under their toes. Most of the pack members didn't take it well. Battles started raging from left to right for opportunities to receive higher ranks. Everyone want respect, but it was impossible to get it with a lower rank." Chassity glanced to the side to check of Tatsu was following her words. "With my rank of lead warrior, I tried my best to treat everyone with respect. But I failed... There were far too many arrogant, disrespectful wolves with high ranks. I had hope then, but it all vanished when I attained the rank of guardian. From then, I knew I had to leave when I had the chance." The delta's question brought memories to the warrior. She began to see the images of blood, teeth, raised hackles, and more blood. It was as if those pictures were right in front of her face. Chassity didn't realize that she kept shaking her head to the side. It made her feelings obvious--which she didn't like. The warrior immediately stopped moving her head, but didn't bother to look to the side in case the delta had thoughts about that.~

~"I can tell," Chassity said slowly as she thought of her word choice. "Being victims of our past will bind us together--and allow us to form a special bond. Something other packs will not be able to take from us. We will be strong as one. We will no longer run away, but we will stand together under one name, Pyrvanthros." The warrior paused and looked beyond the Violet Sanctuary. She began to vision her pack standing in one line while they face the issue that challenged him. Head up, heart strong, they refused to back down without a fight. A smile began to appear on her face. The was what she always wanted in a pack. She believed in Pyrvanthros and from then she knew her heart would devote itself to pack mates. Her intense blue gaze went back over to Delta Tatsu. "Where did you come from...before joining this pack?" The warrior asked. She didn't expect to for the wolf to give every detail; however, she would like for her companion to at least give her an idea of where she came from. Chassity didn't get her hopes up too high in case the wolf opposed to answering.~  

~Chassity saw the delta sit down among the flowers and decided to follow. The warrior slowly rested her behind on the grass and relaxed her shoulders. Relaxing was something that she didn't do often. The wolf listened to the higher ranking wolf as she elaborated on her past. Everything seemed to go fine until the delta's mother died. A pain stabbing feeling entered her heart when Chassity found out that her companion's mate got murdered by her own father. That reminded her of how she felt when she realized that her own father killed the only wolf she loved in the Barbain tribe. However, she couldn't relate to the pups much. She never really knew the feeling of love towards more than one wolves. Just one. She even made it clear to the wolves in her hold tribes that she never wanted pups. Not in that pack. Having kills from here to there, it wasn't worth it. When Tatsu finished, the warrior shifted her attention back to her companion. Her thoughts were still alive. "I understand that you often don't share your past, Delta Tatsu. I swear on my that this wouldn't be shared to anyone. Everything you explained is going to stay between us. I promise," Chassity dipped her head, wishing that she could look into Tatsu's eyes. "Now that you told me about your past, I will return the favor."

Chassity sighed as she thought of where to begin. "I spent my whole life in the Barbain tribe. I believed that I was born to two guardians, but the treatment I received didn't prove it. Whenever there was playtime, I avoided at all costs. When I first tried to join, the other pups, including my sisters, would give me the cold shoulder. They would tell me that I should die alone and that I didn't belong there. I reported such treatment to my parents, but I felt like they didn't care. Nothing would improve. Absolutely nothing. I felt very vulnerable knowing that they couldn't protect me from the smallest things. I started to feel resentment," the warrior looked to see if Tatsu was following. She then went back to explaining her past. "When my time of apprenticeship came, my two sisters received betas as mentors. My mentor was Corinth, a warrior. I didn't like my alpha's decision though deep down I knew they were punishing me for my actions days before. But I also felt like they held a hatred towards me, but I didn't know why. Vanice, my mother tried to comfort me, but I didn't take it well. Her and I never shared a true, genuine connection. Why did I get lesser treatment when I am her daughter also? During my months as an apprentice, I worked very hard. Corinth made sure that I was always on the top. He knew of my struggles of being treated horribly. I could tell that he had been through it before. I knew that everyone expected me to fail."

The warrior took a breath. Honestly, she felt great about proving her whole tribe wrong. They never underestimated her again. "My warrior ceremony came much earlier before every other apprentice, even my two sisters. They were very jealous. One of them even told the alphas that a 'daughter of the unknown' shouldn't be first to get a higher rank. Oblivious to the truth, I defended myself. It all went down hill like a spiral after my biological father confessed. It all made sense. Perhaps that was the reason why I was treated unfairly. My father barely paid attention to me; my 'stepmother' and I never had a real connection like she did with her pups. That was the most crucial moment of my life. I didn't know who my mother was and from that, part of me was missing. The days after the truth, I avoided everyone--except Corinth. Despite my lack of social life, I still did great. I even got promoted to lead warrior at three years old. The alphas actually wanted to replace my father with me to be their guardian. My father didn't take it well; he was adamant about that. He was willing to fight me to the death. Imagine that? I turned down the opportunity, but I was eager to tell Corinth about my compliments. That never happened. On the same day, I found him dead. As I was examining his body, I saw my father approach me with an evil glint in his eyes. I was angry. I was very angry. He knew Corinth was important to me. During our argument, he taunted me. He even lunged at me and tore the back of my ear." Chassity bent her neck forward to reveal an ugly scar behind her ear. "I tripped him and sunk my claws deep into his chest. I wanted to finish him off, but I couldn't I needed answers about my mother. Automatically, he told it all. From there, I learned that my mother name was Cassidy and I was born in the Donaran tribe, where the brave and strong wolves were. The direct opposite of the savages I had to live with. He killed my mother to keep his status. Then he said something that startled me. 'Now I'm deeply regretting keeping you alive'. When he tried to attack me again, I killed him. Immediately after killing him, I felt two warm presences by me. I knew they came from my mother and Corinth. Wolves, especially Vanice, were torn when they found out of my father's death. But that worry was shortly forgotten by the alphas. They appointed me as their guardian. I served them for a year before I left between a pack war."~

~Chassity felt a little touched by the delta's words. Something that was rare. The warrior rarely revealed feelings or even have them. She was stone cold from ear to toe. That lit a spark in her. The feeling of being wanted was beyond of what she could express. "I'm here to stay. From the moment I stepped into these lands, I felt like my heart lied here. Whatever happened in my tribe won't define who I am today. I will be here and do nothing but my best at Pyrvanthros. That's a promise I'm willing to make." The she wolf sighed and looked around the scenery. ~
