They had to wait until night fall. That was when everything was to take place. It was early afternoon when Shiro left, and they had a lot of things to do still. He just hoped that no one tried to ambush him as he walked to the place where he was to challenge Sakdah.

They waited until his scent was merely a whisper of a promise in those woods. The fog liked to cling to his scent for some reason. Maybe it was because it was the first time that Shiro had truly let his scent and aura be known. Geo hadn't even known how strong and demanding it was until he finally released control over it. He had no idea just how much control Shiro truly had over himself until then. It even shocked Jett when he felt it.

He looked at his hand. His pointer finger was stained with the blue ink that Hiroko had. He never thought that he would be one of the people who would walk up to do that. If he was being completely honest, he was hoping that all of this would have simply been solved by Sakdah letting Shiro take his position. They had all hoped that this could get resolved peacefully. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Now that he knew the full truth to who Sakdah was, Geo knew that there was no chance in Hell that it would have happened. Sakdah would have never given him his position. Shiro and Sakdah had one thing in common though: they both knew how to bide their time to wait for the right moment to strike.

He wished he could have seen the look on Sakdah's face when Shiro came into the room. He wished he could have seen his father's face. The man was terrified of Shiro, no matter what he told people otherwise. It was as easy to see as the dark trees of the forest.

Geo looked at Hiroko one last time. She wore a pretty cloak, one that made her look ominous to all the people who didn't know who was behind the hood. Her dark eyes showed a determination that he always saw in Shiro. She nodded at him as they both turned around to look at the people of Mercy Waters.

"Prepare," Geo told them. Like the waves of the sea, they ran to where they needed to go. They had this battle plan figured out as early as the first year of their creation. They would go back to their houses to gather as many things for their own march into the Reverence territory. The Moon, like the Sun, rose in the east. It was then, when the moon was rising, they would start walking up the winding roads to the Reverence Pack house. That was their home.

Some of them had been gone from it for way too long. There were some that had been in this pack the whole five years. Some of those people were even elders, forced to go into hiding due to their views against Sakdah. All of them were proud of Shiro, though. That was why they stayed rather than running away. They always gave them the option to if they truly wanted to. A few did, but most stayed, not wishing to change their lives completely around and risking it all trying to find another pack that would accept them.

The sun set almost too soon. Geo watched it from afar as he helped Hiroko, Jin, and Miki get ready for the march. They would be the ones leading it. When they finally arrived to the pack house, it would be when Shiro had finished the fight. If he stood victorious, then they would see him and be accepted by him back into the pack.
