The days had come to end earlier than planned. The spring was here, but new life did not arrive in Helidos. That saddened the Alphess as she adored pups so very much. Instead, only new comers came to her pack. With the end of winter and the snow gone, the new lands she claimed held some herbs in which her pack could greatly use. She was not sure just how many supplies they had, but she knew in the new lands there were some things they could get. She had slchosen each land herself, taking Azul with her on a short journey to claim said places. Three new terrains had been added to Helidos and she was very pleased with all of them. Quinn was too excited not to show the wolves themselves. She rushed to the outer portion of the Healer's dwelling and called into then with a gentle howl. She did not speak, just wished for them to follow her into the direction in which she traveled. When she arrived in the center of the thicket, she say on her rump and smiled as they all came to her. "Welcome Healers, and thank you for coming here. I have very important matters to discuss with all of you."

When Kokoro heard the howl of his new Alphess he stood and followed her. He noticed Jackle was already there and dipped his head out of respect to both of them. "Hello Alphess, I do not believe we have formally met. I am Kokoro another healer here." he smiled and nodded to Jackle, "Its nice to see you also." he backed away from them and sat down among the rest of the healers. He looked up to his alphess wondering what matters she wished to speak with them about. 'I hope she is not ill' he looked around the healers trying to see their reactions but he was never good at reading emotions. He knew he would find out soon enough so he just sat calmly waiting for Quinn to speak.

His breath disturbed the dusty terrain beneath him and it puffed up in small dust clouds every time he exhaled. Exhaustion had finally forced the multicolored brute to retire to a small corner in the healer's den and let the comforting dark thickness of sleep envelop him. His time within the Helidos border had been short to say at the least and most of this time had been spent recovering in the Healer's den from the wounds that had not been instead a brutal dead because of another's sacrifice. Twitching he would moan softly in his sleep as flashing images disturbed his peaceful slumber, it was a gentle feminine howl that saved him from a set of over sized, yellowed fangs today and the healer would jerk awake- deep amber eyes as wide as moons and his fur sticking up all over the place- he looked rather bedraggled. It took him a couple of minutes to focus and realize that it was none other then the alpha of Helidos herself calling at the entrance of the den where the Healer's were situated.

Cursing he quickly tried to neaten his crazy fur and tried to rid himself of the look of drowsiness that accompanied one that had just woken up. Padding over and taking a few refreshing laps from a small dip which had filled with water after a couple of spring showers, Twelve finally emerged from the den and followed the scent trail of the others until finally he reached them in the center of a small thicket. Falling into a sitting position, his bright and curious eyes moved about from wolf to wolf- trying to ignore the protestant pains coming continuously from his still healing wounds. At the current moment there was the Alpha, the Lead Healer and another fellow Healer gathered and Twelve greeted each in turn, giving the alphess and Lead a respectful dip of the head when doing so. "It is a pleasure to have finally gotten to meet you alphess" He murmured, words genuine and true and a small smile lingering on his lips before it disappeared again and he winced slightly as his old injuries gave a particularly strong throb of pain.

"Fret not Jackle. I have called you all here for some quality time amongst my healers. There are a few matters I would like to discuss, but first I would just like to thank you all for coming so quickly. It is not often an Alphess gets to just have fun with her dearest members. I know recently we have had an influx of warriors at the border, but I want you all to know you play an important role in keeping this pack alive. If it had not for our healers, then winter could have been tragic for us. But before I get onto the seriousness of it all, I really want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. I know being a healer is not easy and many take it for granted. So thank you all! Now onto the reason why I brought you all here. Jackle has been granted the position of Lead Healer for Helidos. I think he should feel the love from his peers, above anyone else. Some of you call him a friend, while others call him a mentor. Over the next few months, we will be needing his skills, as well as all of yours." Quinn took a minute to think of how she planned to word her thoughts as they sat in her mind. There was much to tell them, but was it really the right time? "As many of you know, Healer Athena is no longer with us. She asked Guardian Fel to take her life as she knew she was beyond saving. For the sake of Azul, as he watched the scene before him, Fel was banished from these lands. The reason I tell you this, please be careful when you wander in the neutral lands, as well as keeping up with the things needed to keep everyone safe from harm. You never know how Fel could feel about the banishment. None of us truly know."The Alphess looked to the group around her, trying to form a smile from the bad news she had told them. "I wanted you all to be the first to see this beautiful area I have added to Helidos. Here I hope you will be able to find the herbs you need for various things, so please take a minute to collect as much as you need. I will stick around, so if you wish to ask me any questions, I will be here for you."
