Cudofra'i was probably the only Fenref who's mouth hadn't dropped opened or released a hissing snarl when the outspoken French Frie's newcomer had ranted. She actually had trained patience for these things that happened all the time, everyday. She always handled these outbreaks, unless the pack handled it for her.
A gentle voice flowed from her mouth as her eyes began to softly glow." Who said anything about soul-eating? We are pure osteophagous and carnivorous... unless you are not." A frown crossed her face as she sighed and tried tackling each of his questions." You misunderstood that line, 'the alpha will thrive from your soul." She paused and let a mischievous grin grow on her face." It means, that the hidden strength within you shall thrive from within you, flow from your soul.Does that sound better now?" She quickly added before continuing,"and you already know I am half daemon."
His next question had several Fenrefs snapping and reaching for his neck. The only thing keeping them at bay was the paralyzing cord of wispy red electricity that suddenly wound around their bodies.
"Pikido."She frowned and spoke with a stern voice."Have you ever belonged to a pack before, long enough to learn that each of them has a history, a special place? The pillar is that place for us." Her voice was still stern, only it was softer." This pillar can give you strength and decide your fate. It will learn to recognize as a full member of our community.Maybe even something more..." she had a flashback of her journey. The stone had granted her the power of a powerful monarch to lead her pack. That was her destiny.Would the stone recognize him as an alpha or a regular pack wolf?"In other words, it is a magical stone that has a mind of its own.It is made of a precious stone carved from light, faith, and wisdom itself. These,"she held the slates up that had angered Pikido," were carved from that stone be the Ancestor of all Ancestors. And would it be fair if all the fenrefs surrounding you had taken the journey except you?"Several faces sympathetically looked up at him, other giving him a look of distaste.
She had hoped that Pikido hadn't noticed that she skipped over his question about the journey. She had made a slight remark that sent those words of her father stinging her mind. The world around her transformed and turned into a horrible landscape of fiery rain of flames. She was stuck in her Aftersight.

"It wasn't my choice to make them go... oh no, I didn't decide..."
"It is not of your concern whether or not your brethren or sisterhood survives."The mighty fenref, who appears to be full-blood demon, raised his face to the raining sparks of flames." But why? They are my brothers and sisters, are they not?" A much younger version, a 2-month-old Cudofra'i argues back in a young,frightened, angry voice. The larger Fenref swats her across the neck sending her screaming and tumbling down to a ledge.She whimpers as tears stream down her face, pure as crystal. The illuminated right red eye [the left eye dead and blending with him]of the large Fenref glowers down as his body becomes a silhouette of frightening black in the lightening and fiery rain. "It is not of your concern!Do not place such silly thoughts on your conscience, my dear.And do not talk back to me." He arches forward,the lightening and rain growing fiercer.His voice was a pure demonic growl." Or I will hunt you down."

Suddenly, the landscape changed,and the childish crying stopped. Cudofra'i hadn't noticed that she had laid her head down nor the fact that her face was soaked in tears. She gasped and quickly looked around to see if anyone was looking, and was relieved when she saw that every-Fenref was preoccupied with staring Pikido down.
After singing the tears from her face [which left no trace], she Ahemed and brought everyone back to her attention. She acknowledged Pikido's last question with a smirk and crude tone." Well, I'm not sure as to why we fell so quickly, let alone how our barrier didn't activate.There is a small stun barrier that activates everytime something other than a Fenref or drakel tries to pass through." She looked at him and added gently,"anything else?If you want, you may start today.When the sun goes down, you can begin."
