[ I apologize, I saw the mandatory post but it's been quite a few days since it was posted on and decided just to make my own post. I hope that's alright. ]

Yiska padded softly through Helidos's welcoming territory, being pleased by making the rank of lead warrior. However much bouncing around and showing off was, she had realized her duties remained to protecting camp. With Erenyx slowly making a comeback of those powerful wolves, it wouldn't be surprising if at a moment they decided Helidos was the lesser of the two, therefore taking the pack over. She remembered her old mentor Nnlya, who was one of the most kind souls she had met. The news had spread quickly through camp about how Nnlya was to be dubbed Elite. She sure deserved the role. A generous leader, one who spoke softly, and meant well at that, yet kept others in line, giving small hints here and there. Yiska had also learned that Drogo, one of her other mentors hadn't been around lately. For sure he couldn't have wandered off and decided he was better off somewhere else, but the thought couldn't enter her mind. The fae grinned as she remembered the first time she had sparred with Altair, how she accidentally fell that one time, how the memory was never really able to leave her. It was a huge embarrassment at the time, but now they both had a great laugh at it. Come to think of it, Altair... Where was he? The noble hunter seemed to be gone more and more frequently. She hadn't seen him in a great deal of time. She thought of the first time they met, when the spar would be taking place, the hunter simply joined in with the the three other warriors. Amazingly enough, they had both fell, and just their luck to upon Nnlya.

Yiska continued on, feeling foolish, for the incident was hard to think about. She felt she could run a mile if she wished, but now she was focused intently on just floating. The warrior sometimes could be found alone, wandering, but never far from the center of Helidos. Soon, she had came across the pack clearing, where, indeed was the center of Helidos. Yiska almost cried out with both joy and despair when she entered the space, first entering cautiously, then as if she were a pup bounded into the exact center, sniffing the air. Sure, Aurora's scent had been lingering here, after all those seasons. Aurora she had missed maybe most of all. It was as if Nnlya had a sister. She was beautiful, and wise. Sweet, yet gentle in a way that hinted something along the lines of subtle strictness. Never would Yiska see her to lose control. The first time the fae had her, without hesitation, offered her own den to her, saying exactly this: "This was my old den, I don't believe anyone has taken it yet. I currently reside with my mate, Elite Kenai, just over there." And that was only her. Where was Kenai? Killed off by a bear. Oh how Helidos mourned for him. Such a wonderful and amazing elite. He deserved every single bit of that role. When the incident arrived, it hit the pack like a droplet in water: making ripples effect the whole pool. The one to deliver the message was Lucas. Lucas, the alpha's son. Oh, how the poor thing thought he was cast away, how he believed Azul cared more about his elite than his own kin. So he fled Helidos. And Lucas fled to Erenyx, and that was it. The onyx fae felt so bad for Azul, so did the rest of Helidos. Having your own pup run away by his own choice, one of your most trusted friends being ripped from you, never to return. He had stepped down, for Lucy, his mate and the healer turned alphess was no longer. No one know why, but she after that ceased to exist in Helidos now. She hadn't known Lucy that much, actually at all. When Azul had backed off, Quinn had followed in his footsteps. Quinn, now Yiska had only seen her once, and she seemed everything Azul was. She had courage and knew where both she and others lie.

The obsidian female realized all this time, she had been scenting for Aurora, yet she had found that with a heavy heart, that nothing could be detected. Yiska lifted her maw back up when a fresh scent muzzled her nose. A new wolf, for her scent was only glazed with the scent of Helidos. She followed the strong scent to a white female. She approached her from the other side, making sure Yiska was the one to notice the other first. "Hello." She said as she let the word slip out like a leaf falling slowly and mellow over a smooth waterfall. Following her words were a smile, letting her know she was no threat to the newbie. "I am Yiska, the leader of warriors. Welcome to Helidos." Trying to mock Aurora's greeting. Yiska hoped she appeared pleasant, and opening. She could sense this fae was indeed new, so she tried to sound not so overpowering. She wished to know the rank and name of the female, hoping she would reply with exactly that. She sat calmly, not too far from her. "I hope I'm not invading, may I join you?" Already having sat. She smiled, and waited for her response, hoping to get more knowledge about her.

[ Apologies if Sapphire seems a little, uh, 'rude', I guess would be the term. She's very egotistic and loves to show off, so it's her duty, in her own mind, to compare herself to other faes. She usually thinks higher of herself, but usually doesn't show it in her body language or expressions. ]

[ I'm very sorry, struggling with a long enough reply so it won't be too boring. Will reply soon. ]
