So this is what it has come down to? So be it...
"Why are you my comrade one season, then my enemy the next?"
This is what I asked of the Pack Alpha, however... the response was rather distasteful. It brought nothing more than a fight in which I would have no part of. There was no honor in that fight.
Huntress, is going to be extremely disappointed. What has happened to the Wolf who showed such leadership in the Tavern not weeks ago? He acts like the love child of the Former Pack Alpha and Former owner of the Wraith Tavern. Is this what comes to Sykala's Call? Forgive me Forest Father... for I do not understand how such a man could even consider himself Alpha. He shows little wisdom.
I returned to the Fields, nurtured my wounds and went about my life. I failed to see the point in the Pack Alpha's assault... I am constantly called Ignorant, which is something I will not disagree with. I am Ignorant... Though I have seen that the Humans are just as much.
What oddities of Nature... Unnatural Love Children taking leadership roles, Humans destroying rather than learning... And yet, Sykala's Domain still goes unbalanced. Please, Forest Father... Come to us... Lead us... for those here are far from understanding the Big Picture.

Journey into the Stone Cage
I was not sure which terrified me the most... Stepping though those cold iron bars into the Stone Cage or the attention that was received in my short time there.
"Wouldn't it be best to know your enemy?"
She had a point. The Humans would corrupt and destroy this world, and she had good point to learn of them in case they tried to cause war. I could sense a heavy burden upon my shoulders when I stepped in. A gloom and disgrace that hovered about the stone walls of the Cage that I could of cut with a knife. And oh... the smells... such a foul place indeed.
The first thing I noticed about the Stone Cage, were the rats the Cage Dwellers live with. Large rats that could easily be picked off as sizable pets. They were just left to roam free along the docks the Humans use. How could anyone live in such filth?
Huntress took me farther in, showing me the place that was left to her. It was a large construction, still... the walls within seemed to close in on me without much warning or delay. However, the one thing that did fascinate me was what Huntress called a 'stove'. A small, metal box... which held a fire within and a cylinder tunnel that sent the smoke that would build, out of the building. An interesting object, indeed.
The end of my Journey into the Stone Cage, was at a place where two roads crossed... like an intersection. There were several benches, but also several humans. Their attention that was directed to me left me a bit uneasy... even worse when a child came up and poked my arm. Such a foul smelling race... I couldn't seem to get the smell of the Human off my arm.
The Cage Captain wandered in upon us, eyeing me as if I was a potential hostile. In a way, I could be... With such evil and destruction that pours out of the city and onto Sykala's Domain... I can see why I would be assumed as an enemy. In my eyes, they are my enemy.
Unfortunately, this is a war that I cannot win by brutality. This is a war that all I can do is sit back and be a milestone for them. They have to decide to change and it doesn't matter how much they suffer. In the end, if the Humans fail to realise the Wilderness is a Gift... then they will be the cause of their own destruction.
-Forest Father... Please, I beg you... Shine your wisdom upon them. Forgive them for they know not what they do... If there is but one who understands, I pray that you do not destroy them.

Betrayal
"A victim of my own pride?"
That is what the Alpha accused me of being... a victim of my own pride... No, I am not a Victim for following the Forest Father with a devoted heart. I refuse to fall into the Greed of Man and become a prisoner to the Evil the Cage Dwellers spew from their gates.
Forest Father... Forgive me for I have lost my respect for this Kin... These Cage Dwellers will have me die if I do not pay Homage to their ways. This is something I simply cannot do. I refuse to pay Homage to anyone other then the Forest Father.
"There is no room to forget who you are."
Those are the words that the Alpha has told me months ago. The same words I had him remember. I will continue through this feeling of Betrayal. I cannot even begin to understand what had possessed the Alpha to speak such to me.
Regardless, I will go on. Sykala has Blessed me and spared me from death. To deny him would be to dishonor him... A dishonor I cannot carry. Thank you Forest Father... You have opened my eyes and spirit... Forgive me for going astray from your Will and Presence ... I will keep my spirit clean.

Times Tested
"I grow tired of his dishonor, Hunteress."
So tired of it... The Tir does not know how much Huntress protects him... and yet accused her of Corruption. He would not last a moment by the Laws of my People. His constant threats of imprisonment and constants tales of how I am a criminal have gone on long enough.
"The Tir bowed before me, then tried to arrest me for not beating him into a stain. What was I suppose to do? ... It was either kill him, or be arrested for not killing him... So I spared him and obeyed this lands laws by walking away."
Huntress at least understood. As well as the Alpha... and the other Kin who are bearers of the Argent Cloak. I had unneeded permits for the wild, unneeded Stone Cage documents ... I never step foot into their cage... and yet have their papers.
"Please, let me handled this by my Laws... This matter could already be over with."
A fight... that is what my Law would of brought this too. After the first day of this... a Fight would of been Challenged and the Master of Challenges would of named the rules. I'm tired of his dishonor and deception... Cage Dweller Laws are proving more and more fruitless to me. Even the underlings are under minding those of authority. How dare he accuse Huntress or the others of Corruption when he himself cannot obey those above him.
He makes it so hard to resist calling a Challenge. The Tir wouldn't last in the Pit of Trials... Mind yourself little Tir... My patience as well as the others is growing thin.
Forest Father... Shelter me from the Monstrosity that is this place. Hide me away in your fields and trees ... keep me from destroying these creatures for they do not see the blight they cause. My patience is being tested ... please keep me and guide me... help me resist giving in to my wrath.
