I trotted with them and parted ways with them eventually, saying goodbye. Then I approached my dad

"Dad," I said

"yes?"

"What am I considered among the Military Raptors?" (All the military raptors are males)

"Other than my daughter, you are probably seen as a female alpha but only by the Military Raptors. All of them look up at you, except the alphas see you as an equal,"

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah, the way we taught you to be can get you a long way around here," he said

"Alright that's all I wanted to know, I'm headed back. Bye, dad, I love you!" I said nuzzling him then trotting off.

I walked through the gate and went to when I slept, away from everyone in a tree. It was the largest tree in the enclosure so it easily supported me. I got curled up into it, completely forgetting about the talk I wanted to have.

As the sun set i went back to the den. When i got there all my family was curled into a ball except Jade and Snowfall. I then curled up on the outside of my family before drifting off to sleep.

-----------Time Skip----------

I wasnt sure when Rose would get up so i got up as the sun started to rise. I carefully got up, making sure not to wake my family. After getting up i got a drink from the river and headed to the gate. I was so excited as i waited for Rose. I could hardly sit still.

I climbed out of my tree stretching and went to the pond to get a drink. I took my time getting a drink then raised my head letting the water run down my throat as droplets fell from my chin. I trotted over to the gait and sighed, seeing Amor already there waiting for me.

"Come on, let's go," I said running out, I wanted to run without interruption. We made it to the gait and waited for The dark pack to show up. I sat down waiting.

I sat up as i saw Rose walk up to me. I heard her sigh but i just tryed to ignore it. I nodded before following her out of the enclosure. I couldnt quite believe it as i ran past humans and other raptors alike. I could tell they were somewhat used to Rose but seeing me was shocking. I knew a little about the military raptors since i got dad to tell me a little once so i knew what i should do. Instead of running beside Rose i was right behind her tail. I couldve run faster if i wanted to but i figured this was a good way to go. Just then we arrived at the gate to the outside of the facility. It was huge and strong, that much i could tell. I then sat down beside Rose as we waited for the military raptor. "Youre very fast." I said, trying to talk to her and compliment her without being weird.

"Thank you," was all I said, and I just stood up. If I was being honest it got boring talking to other pack members. You've grown up with them, nothing surprises you. I knew I was one of the fastest among us in the pack, but the Military Raptor always gave me a challenge. That's why I admired them so much, and that's why I look up to my dad and mom. They were the top of their generation and are still somewhere in the top tiers.

"Hello Rose," Curse cheerfully greeted me and a few others too "Amor..." He said cautiously. "Read for our run?" he asked

"Always!" I said excited

"Eclipse, if Amor falls behind do you mind staying with him?"

"Not at all,"

"Warning you Amor we won't slow down for you, we run fast for a long period of time." Curse said breaking into a trot and the doors slowly opened. Once fully opened we all broke into a sprint. I was on Curse's left, the same spot as yesterday. This time we were in a loose formation so we could dodge trees.

I stood up as the military raptors came up to us. I then nodded as Curse asked me if i was ready. I was a bit upset though as they acted like i would fall behind. Yes, Jade was faster than me and i was the on the bigger side but i could run pretty fast. "Dont worry, i can keep up." I then followed right behind Rose's tail. First we trotted as we went out of the facility but we were soon running, dodging tress as we went. It was honestly fun to run with someone other than my siblings. I was also glad i didnt have to win a race just to have fun. Jade always wanted to race but just running was very fun as well.

I glanced back and watched the raptors kinda push Amor back. He was being forced to the back since he didn't have a rank. I brushed it off and kept running, staying in the position I was in. We sped up again, this time not dropping our speed after. We were headed for some rocks, looks like it was more of an obstacle course than a run. I watched Curse jump over a log while I went under it, it slowed him down a bit. We came up to a thin valley, Giant walls on both sides. It was similar to a canyon.

"Watch out, there is a giant rock blocking the path ahead," Curse said slowly down a tad but I kept going, speeding up instead. I jumped slightly on top of it with a huff and climbed right over. I waited for the others on the other side. It didn't take Curse long since he watched me, he just had to do a quick run back and get a running start as I did.

After just minutes of the start of the run the military raptors kept pushing me back. A couple times i almost fell but managed to stay on my feet. I wanted to fight back but i didnt know if i should so i let the raptors push me though i growled a couple times as they pushed me hard. Just then a log came into view. I knew it would be a tight fit so i jumped over it. Since i jumped it slowed me down i had to work extra hard to catch up again but i managed. We then entered a canyon like thing. There was a boulder in the middle of the path. Jade taught me how to get over obsticals like that so i knew what to do....with a little twist. I sped up to my full capasity before running on the side of the wall. I easily made it but as i jumped down to the otherside i twisted a bit, making me spiral. I landed on my feet right beside Curse and Rose. I acted like it was no big deal as i looked at Rose, though i hoped that would impress her, or atleats the others. I had never actually done that before so i wanted to smile so bad. My heart was pounding in my chest but i payed no attention.

I watched Amor jump over the rock,

"First time?" I asked him "because the way you did it was immature," I said being straightforward "It requires a lot of energy and you are out of breath," I finished saying as the others jumped over like Curse and I did. Immediately Curse and I turned around continuing the run. In the end, we came through near the back end of the facility where another gate was. I saw my father waiting and quickly ran over to him without saying anything so the dark pack. This grabbed Curse's attention and he was about to ask until he saw who it was. The pack waited patiently for me to return,

"Looks like you found some training buddies?" He asked

"Yeah pretty much," I responded

"Why is Amor with you?" He asked, he knew he technically wasn't supposed to be out here.

"He was allowed to tag along after an incident that happened yesterday. But his dad got it handled along with Curse,"

"Hm," He said thinking "Why don't they come with while you get to kill your first large prey, and your final step in your training?" He said "But Amor would have to go home, this process is hard to explain. You know how the process works." He told me quietly as we walked back to the group. "If the father is a Military Raptor he has the option to pick and choose as many of his children to be honorary or actual Military Raptors. As in your case, an honorary since females isn't exactly allowed to be Military Raptors. Well, as far as I know, Azul didn't choose anyone, and I only chose you," I nodded understanding the situation. "Dark pack, come with me," He said as we got over there "Amor, go home," He said in a serious tone. It's clear he wasn't going to budge on letting him come. Curse and the rest trotted over.

I looked down as Rose practically scolded me. After she ran off i frowned before following behind the pack. I was tired, but that wasnt the reason i stayed in the very back, it was because i didnt want to mess up again. Soon though we entered back into the facility. I was glad to have a breather as everyone stopped. I tensed up though as i saw Zier. As they talked about going to see Rose hunt i was very excited, until i found out i wasnt allowed to go. I hung my head before trotting off to my home enclosure. Once in a took a quick break by the gate before running to find dad. Sadly he mustve gone out because i couldnt find him anywhere. I did see Nightmare however so i went up to her. "Nightmare, do you know how to gain respect with the military raptors? I need to prove to R- Pixel that im not some lame raptor who cant do anything!" I found myself plop down beside Nightmare before rambling, "All the military raptors kept pushing me, i didnt know weather to fight back or let them. I messed up too, i wasted all my energy. Its just so hard!"
