Eris is by Kiri, a gift from Sylvey!
Eris frowned and nodded, sighing. It was a fool's hope -- humans rarely wrote about the things Luperci wondered about, it seemed. Instead, their tales were extravagant epics of foolishness, egotistical trips into the human mind. All useless to a creature half-wild and half-tamed, such as the Salsolians were now. Eris, of course, considered her pack the pinnacle of Luperci civilization; whatever fantastical places existed overseas, they were not Salsola, and were therefore inferior.
Even if someone found such a book, it would be in a language we can't read, or half moth-eaten, or just plain false. The dark woman huffed her agreement and straightened, both shoulders dropping. No doubt, she considered, thinking of those in the lowest echelons of their ranks. None were suited to the task, and she wrinkled her nose. If only they had the skill. Willingness, perhaps, but skill? I think not, she said, frowning. Some of our mares have foaled recently, I am told. Perhaps now would be the opportune time, then. If the horse takes the fawn, it will raise it and make it docile, the coal Auxiliary reasoned, smiling. Such a wonderful idea, she praised, thinking of all the dear meat, tender fawn and elder haunch of some great buck, all under the care of their own borders.
