Canna paused, a flicker of curiosity crossing his features at the new honorific. "Canna-sama?" he repeated, raising an eyebrow.
The scout chuckled softly, sensing Canna's curiosity. "Ah, forgive me, Canna-sama. It's a title we've started using out of respect for your leadership. The people have grown fond of it."
Canna nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "I see. Well, thank you for the sentiment. Now, what have you found?"
The scout's expression turned serious as he began to relay his report. "During our exploration of the orc settlements, we discovered something quite extraordinary—a large group of Rockfowls, along with several other beasts, hidden away in a lower layer of the settlement."
Canna listened intently as the scout continued, his interest piqued.
"The Rockfowls were kept in a secured pen, alongside a pack of direwolves. It seems the orc army was raising and training these creatures for their own use. The Rockfowls, in particular, are quite the find. They breed prolifically, and though they are omnivores, they seem to favor fruits and grasses.
They're large, hardy birds, and from what we've observed, they could be an invaluable addition to our food supply."
The scout's eyes sparkled as he spoke of the discovery, clearly excited by its potential. "There are at least a thousand Rockfowls in the settlement, all in good health. But that's not all—we also found a pack of around 700 direwolves, each with unique coloration. They were likely being trained as war beasts, given their discipline and size."
Canna's mind began to turn over the possibilities. Rockfowls could provide a steady and reliable food source, while the direwolves, if tamed and trained, could become formidable allies in battle. It was a promising find, to say the least.
"Anything else?" Canna asked, knowing that there was likely more to this discovery.
The scout hesitated for a moment before continuing, his voice dropping slightly as if what he was about to say carried even greater weight. "There was one direwolf in particular that stood out among the rest. Unlike the others, which were mostly shades of gray, brown, or black, this wolf was different.
Its fur was a deep, shimmering silver, almost as if it were reflecting the moonlight even in the darkness of the settlement. And its eyes, Canna-sama... they were a piercing, almost unnatural blue."
Canna's attention sharpened at this description. A silver direwolf with blue eyes was certainly not something to be taken lightly. There was something about this wolf that intrigued him, something that felt almost... otherworldly.
The scout continued, "This wolf was kept separate from the others, in a more heavily fortified area. It seems the orcs considered it special, perhaps even a leader of the pack. We haven't been able to determine much more, but it's clear that this wolf is no ordinary beast."
Canna's gaze drifted to the distance, his thoughts already racing ahead. This silver direwolf could be a valuable asset or perhaps something more—a creature with untapped potential that could change the balance of power within the sanctuary.
"We'll have to investigate further," Canna said, his voice filled with resolve. "Prepare the area where the Rockfowls and direwolves will be kept. I want to see this wolf for myself."
The scout nodded, bowing again. "Of course, Canna-sama. I'll make the necessary preparations."
As Canna turned to leave, Noctis perched atop his head, shifted slightly, as if sensing the gravity of the situation. The day had only just begun, but already it promised to be filled with new discoveries and challenges.
And somewhere, in the depths of the orc settlement, a silver wolf with piercing blue eyes awaited its fate—a fate that would soon intertwine with Canna's in ways yet to be revealed.
