Gabriel had found the scroll sent by Caedwyn and noted the location where the meeting was to take place. Using the portals scattered throughout the land, it did not take long to find said spot and scout it out just a day before the meeting was to take place. The earthen wolf was curious as to why the meeting would not take place in Sulfur Hills, Caedwyn's home territory, or even be close to it if he was worried about strangers familiarizing themselves with his territory. He decided he would ask when the meeting arrived. On the day of the meeting, Gabriel arrived alone. He took a good spot close to the front, where he could see Caedwyn better. Turning to the nearest wolf next to him^1, Gabriel inquires in a friendly voice, "a vonder vhat ze meeting vill be about?" Not long after, the wolf of the hour arrives, and Gabriel quiets himself in order to listen. He listens intently to all that is said; there is one sentence that dawns on him the most, that answers his most curious question even before he can ask: There are many lands to watch over. Just how many? How large is this so called territory of his? In the weeks since his arrival to the Realm, Gabriel had never once picked out the smell of any borders, or been chased off any land by packs. Is he trying to claim this entire land for his own? If such a case is true, then this must be the most inconspicuous emperor he's ever known. The idea of a Kingdom to such a large scale was unheard of for the earthen wolf, something he could never imagine happening. It raised more questions than it answered, and so Gabriel put aside his intial desire to offer up his services in exchange for some answers. "i am a bit confused," he begins in a raised voice, loud yet respectful, "you intend to claim ze entire realm vor yourself? just like zat? it does not veel right," where is the fight for leadership? where is the clamor of opposing forces? Gabriel felt like a fish out of water; he did not like feeling so clueless. |
