The War of Brothers [TSO]

Looking to the woods of despair from the hilltop between the silvermoon territory and malice territory, the king of wolves brings a cup of coffee to his mouth taking a drink. "Report Luna."

Without hesitation the young silverfang would begin to speak. "The puppet master was spotted briefly making his way towards our ranks, however once he had covered at least half of the ground between us and the manor he stopped and turned around, making his way back towards the manor. It is almost as though he forgot what he was doing." Moving a hand to her arm uncomfortably she would allow a shiver to run up her spine. "I don't like it.. something is off your highness."

Bringing the cup up to his lips once more Strife would take another drink. "Things have been off for quite awhile now... alright, lets not waste anymore time. Send the patrols in. I want to establish eyes on the puppet master or the manor. Instruct them to keep a safe distance, I do not want them to put themselves in more danger than necessary. Inform them that I expect an hourly update of any movement from the malice manor."

Without hesitation the young silverfang bows her head and departs as Strife continues to look at the ashen wasteland in front of him. He knew that the puppet master's mind was gone, it was only a matter of time before he once again emerged from the manor. The reports from his scouts informed him that he had already killed one of his most trusted severance generals Lithius and consumed him. The puppet master was truly too far gone to help at the moment, now, it was simply about containment. With his forces surrounding the entire perimeter of the puppet masters lands, he knew that he would not be able to slip out unnoticed.

Even more so to his curiosity, the puppet master seemed to have lost his grip on shadow magic, his attacks were brutal in nature, not cunning any longer. He had little to fear of the puppet master porting out of the area with shadow magic. With the constant assaults upon their lands he had managed to drive the wolves of severance back into the deeper parts of the woods of despair. Even with the efforts, the only one from the family he had seen was Abigail and her bodyguard Malius. Freya, Hecate, Cleo, Lilith, all of their whereabouts still remained unknown.
