"Auntie!" I shouted, running as fast as I could to meet her as she rode in with the gaurd.

"Oun'hura! Cov'ta be'be!" She shouted, leaping from her saddle and sprinting toward me.

She picked me up in a hug and spun me around, holding onto me as tight as she could, as did I.

"I've missed you-"

"I had begun to count the seconds, I've missed you so much, Priceta." She was tearing up as she finally set me down.

"Gods.." She smiled, wiping her eyes. "You look just like your mother.."

"Auntie." I blushed as I wiped a tear from my own, motioning in the direction of the tower. "Come.. You must meet my wife."

"Yes, Cap'n.. I've heard that she sets quite the first impression." She giggled, following me along the path.

"Cha', ä viv' Gonda. Hiin'ga Jist'eka Romn'pa dija Kin'hood. Leksa, is.. Impas en bebe.. A true en fierce leader." I chuckled.

"We shall see then." Auntie smiled knowingly as Silber, her grey wolf joined us ahead of the group, who were now on foot.

My mother's wolf joined us as well, a true sight for sore eyes in these times.

"Lilah.." I sighed wrapping my arms around the wolf's neck as it nuzzled its large head against my back.

"I've missed you, old friends.." I admitted.

The small group of elite soldiers that escorted my Auntie stayed within our camp, Ash'on also stayed to catch up with Auk'tava and the gaurd.

Auntie and I were greeted by Leksa and Titus as we entered the inner city, the crowds cheered as they saw the highly decorated saddles of the two wolves behind us.

Leksa raised her arms and shouted a warm welcome in her native language.

As we neared my wife and her lackey I began to noticed the smallest of smiles on her face.

"Heda, this is my Aunt, Queen Vi'tolia Ovidius kom Hom'an Volkanna." I just couldn't help but smiled as I introduced the two most important women in my life. "Auntie, this.. Is Heda, Leksa Kom Trikru."

"Welcome to our home, your highness." Leksa offered a hand at the small of my back, knowing how badly I had wanted wanted to introduce her as my wife.

"Heda, can we move this inside?" I whispered closer to her ear. "I need a little time alone to discuss the trial with Auntie.."

"Sha, Hodness.." She mumbled so only I would hear before gesturing toward the tower. "Shall we then?"

"Sha.. Cha." I translated as Leksa lead us to Auntie's room and the people cheered as we entered the tower.

"Dij gonda en Heda er foos. Skii'kanna es nol truba.. Dae er nul duja'foos." I confided in my Auntie.

"Cha?" She asked almost simpathetically.

"Cha. I do.. Assume that they play dumb before Heda. They are.. Clearly much more capable than they let on, but I have faith we can work with them. If anything I have no doubt that if they are disobedient, we can correct them or destroy them. If they can not be reasoned with?"

"Are they?" She asked. "Reasonable.?"

"The girl is.. Clarke.." I smiled to myself as I thought of her.

"Tu'ar!" She accused under her breathe. "Princeta, dus es.. Oudathrop! You are married!"

"Happily so, Qii.." I snapped. "Were you not the one with three husbands-"
