Her voice is rough, almost questioning with its tone.
"It's time, yes?"

Barely a moment had passed since she... since Lily had given me the kill of that wolf, even less since I had doubts about its status as a leader. And here we stand... ready to strike. While the iron is hot, while a formidable fighter - or leader - is gone.

It's a risk... But one I need to take. We need this territory, not only for the space it would give us but well... because I want it. And for that reason, and that reason alone, it will be mine.
I wave my hand and for the first time ever, I summon all that I could. For every summon that I had, they were called upon to appear before me. Whether it be slime or spider. Spirit and Burrower. Or even the goblins and wolves I had taken. They are all called upon. My loyal beasts.
