How did they meet?

The first interaction of the two packs was upon the arrival of Shadowcreek. As the larger pack arrived at the abandoned village of Alshari, they were met by a patrol of Titans. The patrols Leader, A'hmar, told Galloway that they should follow them to meet their Leader, and that the Shadowcreek pack should stay behind so they could rest at the time. Galloway, of course, told him that they 'could make their own decisions for their pack' and A'hmar only nodded in respect, telling Galloway that he did not mean to disrespect them. 

Galloway told their Pack to take shelter among the tree whilst they would go and meet up with this 'Daughter of the Sun'. They put the Betas in charge and followed A'hmar and his patrol to the Riverdawn. As the patrol and Galloway arrived at Riverdawn Camp, several dogs came to great their fellow friends and family home from the patrol, and gave Galloway curious and welcoming glances when A'hmar told them what they had found on their way. 

 

Suddenly a fluffy Brown and ginger female stepped forward and the other dogs started to bow. Galloway thought this was rather weird behavior as they had only ever seen Humans bow to others, never dogs.  

The Brown dog presented herself as Akhena, Daughter of Zistos and leader of Riverdawn. She told Galloway that she and her pack were most happy for their new guests and would love to welcome them all into their beautiful home. Galloway, as proud as they are, straight up denied the offer and told Akhena that they would find a place for her pack by herself, and that neither they or Shadowcreek pack, needed any help with setteling down from Strangers. 

​

Akhena was rather surprised by the determination in Galloway's voice, but in the end she just smiled and said that Galloway was free to do whatever they wanted, and that she meant no disrespect. As Galloway started to leave the Riverdawn pack to find their own pack, Akhena shouted that they would always be welcomed by both Riverdawn and the Gods.
