Mothers [Galadriel]

A cry, faint at first but growing in strength and intensity quickly, snapped the Marauder out of her thoughts and back into the present. Her ears perked and her head lifted quickly, blue eyes scanning her surroundings until she was certain she knew which direction it had come from. Then she was moving again. It took her only a few minutes to find the pair of wolves, two females from their scents. And it seemed that they had been traveling together for quite some time since they smelled so similar. But there was another scent, one that paired with the sight of the black and white female, confirmed that one was pregnant. Very pregnant. The little female increased her pace until she was only a few yards away from them, doubting that she would find a fight from the poor mother. The large grey female, however, seemed to become slightly stiff and took a step in front of the mother almost protectively.

To this Mara offered a small nod and lowered her hips to the ground, signaling that she meant neither of them harm. "Hello ladies. It seems that you have found the borders of Ravenis. I am Mara, Marauder of the pack. Do you come here seeking acceptance and shelter?" She asked, curiously studying the black and white female. There was something about her that seemed so familiar, and she wondered if they had traveled far or if she had met the female's relatives somewhere. But it did not matter in the moment, for she felt her own stomach clench in pity for the young female. She remembered when Raum had gotten her pregnant. The male had been enormous, and her pups had been just as large. Tanha was proof that she had survived, but it had been a torturous pregnancy and birthing. "Child, please tell me that you have not been traveling far in your condition." She said softly, wishing that Lorelai was present to help aid the black and white female.

They both seemed barely out of their puphoods and already their lives appeared to be serious and dangerous. After a few moments, she decided on what she would do without even bothering to ask the females before her. Her head lifted quickly, a low howl dancing through the skies and seeking out her daughter. Lorelai had two pups of her own now, but she was the pack's closest thing to a healer. She would know exactly how to ease the discomfort of the soon-to-be mother. When her howl finished she let her eyes fall back on the pair, a small smile crossing her features. "I have called for my daughter. She is our pack's healer, just in case you have need of her." She said, hoping to ease their stress by telling them that she had called for help, not for reinforcements.

Though she found herself wanting to stare into the unique silver eyes of the black and white female, the pain within them told a clear story of her need for comfort and rest. Once the females were introduced, she pushed herself to her feet once more and moved forward to close the distance between them. "Ravenis is open to you both. Kali may have the rank of Imperius, and once your pups are weaned you may be a Ferula, Galadriel." She said, gently nudging the young mother up onto her feet. "Come, let's get you to a comfortable den where Lorelai can look you over." She said, knowing that she could not support the young female with her own small size. Thankfully the other young female, Kali, stepped forward to help support her sister. They were not far from the caverns, so hopefully they could get her to a comfortable spot and ease her muscles while Lorelai tended to her.

With any luck her daughter would also bring food with her, but at the very least she knew she could hunt and there were plenty of other wolves in the pack capable of pitching in. For now her concern was for the new mother, and as she had been very young with her own first litter, she knew how painful and frustrating it all was. She had not been scared, though, for she was certain she had never felt fear in her entire life. But Ravenis was growing quickly, and this litter would only add to their numbers. She was glad that she had officially laid claim to their territory, but she knew that she would have to discuss relations with Khalsa nearby in order to keep the peace between their two packs. She doubted there would be trouble, and with any luck she would receive the permission and blessing to even lay claim to more territory beyond Khalsa's borders. They would first need to allow movement in and out of their territory. But that was a matter for a different time. Right now, her only focus would be to get Galadriel to a safe and comfortable place to lay down.
