Quote Witchety Grub:<br/>Draekin takes a defensive step backwards as the majesty and power of the Mystic's dance weaves itself around him, binding him to this place and people. Compared to the Birdman Kiitani, his voice sounds harsh and petty as he responds to the formal challenge, but the fire staines his teeth red as he speaks, his eyes seeming feverish in the chaotic light.<br/><br/>"I am Draekin, fleet-pawed and Death's-ward, Alpha of the Wolf Pack of the Nation. I come to answer the Challenge against me, to prove it false through word and deed. This token grants me the right to do so."<br/><br/>Draekin holds the crushed leaf aloft so that it to catches the firelight, then throws it at Kiitani's feet, his own legs braced as if to withstand an approaching storm.
