Quite frankly, the howl startled him. He couldn't help but whip around, expecting some miscellaneous snarling wolf to be bearing down on him. But it soon registered to him that it was a distant call and, furthermore, a summons to the common area of the pack lands. Ari faltered, not knowing if children had to attend or not. He didn't even really know where this commons place was. After a few seconds of debate within himself, he determined that he'd try to find the place as best as he could, and if he couldn't, well, he'd simply not go.
He slipped off in search of where the sound had come from, finding that it was weaved over with a grand tapestry of different smells. He could count dozens of wolves who had passed by this point within the last few days. Feeling that he was hot on the trail now, he followed the interwoven scent trails until they came to the mouth of a cavern. He paused, fearing the darkness within, and eventually plunged inwards, following his nose. He was lucky, as he probably would have gotten lost in the twisting caves without his sense of smell. Soon enough he came to a circular cavern with a huge crystal to the side of it, and continued through another tunnel. Then he found himself in what he imagined to be the commons, as other wolves were already present. Two alabaster females — both with mismatched eye colors, also — along with a kid around his age and another male were already present. Somewhat fearful, Ari simply hung back. He didn't make moves to speak or even make eye contact with anyone. He was just present to be a part of the pack, which was interesting enough. He wouldn't have thought about it without seeing how his brother had been kicked out of Veneficus in his dreams. A fragment of his imagination or not, he thought it was right that he take another pack as his own. Jaded Shadows was his choice.
