Zhergan looked at the runes and then back to Ts'itu. He often forgot that the others could not read the signs given by the spirits. To him it was as plain as words, the runes spelling out the threads of destiny, weaving them before his eyes into something palpable, readable, comprehensible. He fixed her with his eyes, a scowl distorting his face as if he was tutoring a child. Danae and Astir had often been given that look, but it was rare that he ever gave it to Ts'itu. Not since she was made Alpha at least. As a pup she often asked difficult questions where the others stayed quite.<br/><br/>"It has already begun. The other tribes are fighting among themselves to bring each other into line, for supremacy. The Atallans on the other hand shows unity, their hands having formed weapons stronger than any iron we have ever wrought. Their minds have always been their greatest attribute and now it forms them new weapons that we can't possibly match. Where our ferocity in battle gave us the edge against them, they have now leveled the field with their ingenuity. We go towards dark times, Alpha. If we do not strike out against the surrounding tribes and bring them underneath us, unite them by ferocity, the Atallans will soon be brave enough to march against us..."<br/><br/>He swept the runes up and gathered them in his pouch again before standing up. Crows started off from a tree not far from them, their black wings carrying the dark words of the Omega to the wind. He looked down on the Alpha with a grim expression. "Take my word for it, Ts'itu. We cannot afford the comfort of peace now or ever. From now on the war will be different. We are not fighting for supremacy any more. We are fighting for our survival." He brushed the snow of his robes and started towards the entrance into the shaman's house.
