[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2610734, member: 508"] I stand over the dead body of the leader, and my mind is filled with a clarity the likes of which I have never known before. Images form in my head, and the world of the wolf is laid open to me like a great book, one that I am able to read. Suddenly, I know. "He is dead!" I cry to the others. "Will any challenge my right to lead? Do any seek to follow the old leader in death?" As I expected, no one replies. I have proven my ability, and they will follow me. I look to the old leader's mate - my mate now, by winter wolf law. "Can the cubs travel?" I ask her. She looks up at me, her silver eyes shining in the arctic daylight. "Yes, Brute," she replies. "Then prepare yourselves for travel. We will be leaving this place for a time." "Where do we go?" asks Longclaw, second in rank to the old leader, second now only to me. I'll have to watch this one, and closely. "South," I reply to the band of wolves, to my family. "South for a day or two, until we reach the mountains, and a human village called Bordertown. A small settlement, with enough people to make the excursion well worth our while, but not enough to cause us any real threat." "Humans," says Longclaw, licking his chops, and glancing over at the cubs' helmet play-toy. "We haven't had a good human in a long while." "Well, all of that's going to change," I reply, a feral grin spreading over my muzzle. I'm thinking of that uppity maid at the inn, imagining the look on her face when we burst into town. Perfect predator, indeed. [/QUOTE]
