Hanovi walked around the castle to see who was missing. She came back and barked, "Its Nyla" Borawark barked back, "Go look outside, she might be there. I gotta go run errands." Then he bolted off. Hanovi asked, "You wanna come downstairs with me so we can go out and look for Nyla, Misha?" "Sure" she barked back. They walked down the stairs. At the bottom it was almost pitch black. There was only a little bit of light coming from upstairs which helped them see. Hanovi walked over to the giant door and tried to push it. "It wont budge." she barked. "Of corse it wont. None of us have been able to open it." The voice came from a large winged wolf with a torch. The voice was female so it wasnt Cori. "Your Marasu right?" Hanovi Barked. "Yes," she barked back, "If you want to go outside I can take you. I can only carry one of you though." Misha and Hanovi looked at each other then looked back at Marasu. "Ill go." Misha barked. "All right follow me." Marasu barked back. They walked back up the stairs and to the nearest window. Misha climbed onto Marasu's back and they soared into the air. After a few secconds Marasu landed next to a bush and let Misha off. "I will wait for you here" she barked. Misha nodded and went off searching for Nyla, but it appeared Nyla had spotted Misha first. "What are you doing here?!" Nylas loud bark made Misha jump. Her tail stood up on its end. "Answer me!" She growled. "We were all wondering where you were....so i came looking for you." Misha barked back scared. Nylas anger quickly changed to sadness. Her tail drooped. "Tell them i am fine...I-I just need some time alone." She turned about to walk off. "We cant allow that." The voice was Marasu, Cori followed close behind her. "We need to get you both back up to the castle, the queen wants to hold a meeting." Marasu and Cori flew them back into the castle and grabbling a torch, led them downstairs and into a room on the left side. Unlike the hallway leading up to the giant door this room was well lit by many windows, but the windows had stained glass on them so the winged wolves could not fly through. It was huge room with a red carpet from the door leading up to a throne at the other end of the room. Everyone stood on each side of the carpet waiting for the queens arrival. One side of the carpet was for Queen Oma's old pack, and the other side was for everyone previously in Toko's pack. Misha and Nyla walked over to join Hanovi and the others. The doors closed behind them. Everyone was talking. Marasu flew over next to the thrown and howled. Everyone stopped talking and turned towards her. "I now present to you, Queen Oma!" She barked. The doors flew open. Cori flew in carrying Queen Oma. Marasu, Borawark, and Ron bowed their heads and signaled the others to do so aswell. The room was silent and all that could be heard was Cori's wingbeats as he placed her on the throne. As soon as Queen Oma cleared her throat everyone looked up. Cori and Marasu sat on either side of the throne almost as if they were bodyguards. Queen Oma began to speak, "Good evening, old and new members of Wolf Castle. I called this meeting to introduce everyone and to give all the new members a job. We all have a job here to keep this castle running smoothly and to keep the pack safe. Borawark is the messanger and service dog," he bows. "Ron is the doctor and magic specialist, Cori is a lookout and Marasu is the blacksmith and they are both everyones only way of getting outside....now, who out of you guys are the best hunters?" Nyla, Bodder and Alexi stepped forward. "Ill just have the dogs take this job." Oma barked. Nyla opened her mouth about to protest. "Nyla I have a better job for you, you will be my assistant understood" "Yes your highness." She barked. "Hanovi.." "Yes?" Hanovi barked back. Queen Oma sighed "I want you to be in charge of keeping the castle clean" she looked towards the windows which were covered with thick white cobwebs "As you can see this place needs some work." Hanovis ears folded. "Misha i want you to watch the weather. Its a very important job so do it well and report back to me if there are any sighs of bad weather." "Yes...your highness" she barked back. "In order to get your meals everyday you will need to complete your jobs. Now, is there any questions?" Silence filled the room. Queen Oma was about to dismiss everyone when Hanovi barked, "Why did you fight Toko to the death? Why couldnt you of just left our pack alone?" Cori stood up and growled, " HOW DARE YOU ASK TH-" "Cori! Calm down. Its fine." She got up from her throne and began walking down the red carpet. "We needed more members in our pack," she barked, "we had lost most of our pack due to an attack...this castle is a target. Other animals want to take it from us. We need all we can get." "What about Toko?" Alexi barked. " A trusted friend of this castle knew him and told me he wasnt the type to give in even if he would of known he would die trying. So I killed him." "Whos the friend?" Hanovi barked. "Never saw her face. But she always has been right about things." Silence filled the room as she walked back to her throne. "Did i answer all of your questions?" Silence. "Then you are all dismissed."
