Braeyaziene Wraaythe

This wolf is a loyal follower of Ilichaesh. A former EX Hunter, he knows what goes when needed. She has plans for him, which he follows without question. Others fear but respect his orders.

He is close to Tieyetles Whaeyves and few others.

He is also known as The Former's Past, as he is close to Ilichaesh Viaxshin in terms of experiencing the same events & working together in restoring The Balance.

The wolves of the Counciling Board bowed their heads & sat on their haunches as Ilichaesh approached. Her demeanor let off an imposing warning to not step out of line. Braeyaziene stood off to the side a few feet away, eyes scanning the area. Tieyetles, Seiemiye, Rieliefe, Houoop, and Thiryed sat on the sides, watching intently yet sternly.

4th quarter meetings were usually the most heated, which meant smiles were all but existent.
"Well, where is Maagneihfluxse and Zeihiep?" asked Viaxshin.
"They are coming back from their mission," said Seiemiye quietly.
Nodding, Viaxshin stood at the top of the Ledge's Platform. Overlooking the wolves, she lifted a small corner of her mouth. The markings certain wolves bore represented those who fought for the Balance. Even more, those who became a part of the fight were slowly integrating into The Counter Balance.

"Let us get started," she said, voice as smooth as silk. The others lifted their heads. Viaxshin flitted her eyes to the shadows of the trees.
"Schadowh, may you make an appearance?" Viaxshin asked. While it was a question, it was clear she wanted him to step forth. Schadowh was one who bore great influence & power; it was only normal he put his one paw in.
The wolf let out a small growl & slinked out from the trees. His eyes were unsettled due to the daylight. Viaxshin lifted her paw and waved it towards him. Immediately, his eyes felt a cooling sensation behind his corneas, almost as though a sheet of ice had been slipped into his eyes. It allowed him to see without feeling the overstimulating pain. He took a seat next to Tieyetles.

Viaxshin took another look around. The wolves in front of her were chosen by her to act as the 'guards' of the lands. Until the Balance was restored, these wolves were needed to maintain what little peace there was left. Those of the RB also served as guardians, only they lived underground and rarely made appearances above ground. While the RB would be temporary, 30 years had already passed since Viaxshin had put into motion her plan to restore the peace.

Certain wolves bore wings, others power, some elevated skills, and some a mix of all. Nothing happened without her notice. Until she stepped back, all who were willing would follow her guide. Even those who opposed her respected her leadership.

A loud howl snapped the silence.
"Sorry, sorry we're late!" Zeihiep called, running up to the group. He was out of breath, as his speech was slurred and short. Maagneihfluxse came trotting up behind looking relaxed, with his appearance the complete opposite of Zeihiep.
Maagneihfluxse nodded slightly to the others but said nothing. He was the quiet one out of the two. Zeihiep sat down and let out a small laugh, "We didn't expect to get stuck on the way back. Luckily Maagneihfluxse knew an alternative path or else we'd still be there."

No one said anything. They all knew Zeihiep was very social. Ironically, he wasn't even supposed to be at the meeting, but Maagneihfluxse vouched for him because he did know some things others didn't when it came to Information Dragging.
"In that case, plan out that route," Viaxshin said. Maagneihfluxse nodded.
Zeihiep darted off to do the mapping, since he knew his energy was a bit too much for the meeting at that moment. Maagneihfluxse let out a small sigh of relief; he loved Zeihiep, but sometimes even he needed a break.

Viaxshin nodded. 3 hours later, the meeting wrapped. Braeyaziene bowed in a stretch as Tieyetles padded up to him.
"You think the BC is going to up their security?" asked Tieyetles. "I mean, the last thing Fluxse mentioned made it sound like the patrol units are getting closer to being discovered."
Braeyaziene slowly nodded. "Perhaps. I'll send Schadowh on a night hunt. Can you take a look at the trainees? I need to consider using a new EX Hunter."

Tieyetles let out a small huff of annoyance. "I may be an EX Hunter, but that doesn't mean I will lend my paw like that."
"I know," said Braeyaziene. "But you are the Lead EX Hunter. No one else can compare to you, not even someone like Schadowh or myself."
Schadowh silently padded up to the duo. He shook his head, gently creating soft ripples in his smooth fur. "I have one in mind who may serve you well," he said quietly.
Tieyetles glanced at the wolf, eyes bearing the slightest of interest.

Rooule stood before Tieyetles with an almost uninterested expression. Tieyetles sighed and looked at Schadowh, unimpressed.
"You expect an 'original' to be able to meet EX Hunter standards?"
Schadowh gave a small growl from his throat and bared his teeth a little, which meant only one thing: Are you treating my choice like a joke?
Tieyetles sighed through his nose. "Alright, let's see what you can bear."

Viaxshin nodded in approval as she watched the two wolves spar from a distance. Braeyaziene sat next to her, ears pricked forward with interest.
"You think bringing originals will help the Rebellion? They are weak compared to us, with all respect," Braeyaziene said slowly.
Viaxshin nodded gently & offered a kind, little smile as she responded:

"I see a lot of what others will never see. As for originals, they bear a different kind of power, one that not even natives like yourselves can understand. I have no intention of wasting time on those who carry little resolve. The four I have introduced are the ones who will prove more than what others could under intense pressure. Whether it will break them or not depends on their own beliefs of how far they are willing to go for those they will never completely understand, even if they spend decades trying."

Braeyaziene nodded, accepting her response. Right then, Rooule managed to get a hit on Tieyetles, leading to a small scratch on the elder wolf's cheek.
"He holds a lot of promise," Braeyaziene said, eyes lifting with interest at the younger wolf. Viaxshin said nothing but nodded slightly. Her eyes drifted to Schadowh, who was sitting under the dark shade of a pine tree, eyes squinting to accommodate the bright sunlight. She could tell he was proud of Rooule, as was evident by his posture: straight, stiff, & poised. As contradictory as Rooule's personality was, he would make for an excellent EX Hunter.
