Jayashri

Jayashri had been out of sight for sometime and had secret meetings with kali as she grew. Kali wasn't near as dark as she once was, but she still is. She had another plan up her sleve and it only included herself, any Aloysiuos. Her ears twitched as she kept a sharp eye out for him. Her tail flickered wildly as she sat on the earth so calm scanning the golden lands around her.

Kali

Kali's muzzle rose to the skies for she knew were Jayashri lurked. Jayashri had told her many things that she now knew were lies. She wanted Jayashri gone, gone for good. "Jayashri" she snarled aproaching her baring her fangs with a hint of blood still on her muzzle after killing Yanis. "You no good bitch. You just keep never quit," she snapped standing firmly upon the earth. "Who are you waiting for?" she asked beneath her breath.

Jayahsri

A wide smile appeared upon Jayashri's muzzle. "You haven't come to hear some gossip in awhile you evil bitch. I never made you listen to me let along beleive me. I remember when you were a young pup. This is how you treat your foster mother? Your mom wanted me to rise you to be evil and dark. Your father was once a light and loving wolf, but your mother changed that. I know thats something you don't know and it's the truth. Your mother wanted to be sure you were not that way. At the time she could careless what your names was and I was the one to name you. Kali, goddess of victory. You have grown up just the way she planned. My work with you is at last finished. Her dying wish was her duaghter to carry out her plans," she said with a sheepish grin speaking in her face so calmly. Her tail swaying from side to side.

Kali

Kali's canines bared even more till her pink gums were nearly visible. "I am nothing like her. She tried to take over everything as well as destroy it for her own damn pleasure. I'm no where near what she is," Kali growled. His trail now lashing behind her and her jaws opened to attack her. Knowing jayashri that's just what she wanted. She'd made up some story to get her killed or she may have allies close by that could jump her. She was too smart ro try something like that on Jayashri. Her talons drew out and gripped the dirt with anger and fustration.

Jayashri

Jayashri saw her fustration and anger. She could easily use it against her. "You are just like her, you have killed for your own pleasure. Maybe not recently, or have you judging by the blood still on your muzzle. You are going to take her place and play along with the pack you are at now. You become trusted and do whatever it is they want. Then you will have pups to make this easir. Train them to fight to the death and play along be spies as their young and when their eight months old they should be able to fight. Start claiming territories and challanging every pack leader in order to increase your own home. Or you can just kill everyone you know who made you feel so terrible. Kill Nita, Eytan, White Noise, Sequioa, Ageni, Enola, Storm Warning, Moon Spirit, Aaka, Legosa, and all their pups. Oh let's not forget Nightcrawler, Mitya, and Karai," she said witha smirk.

Kali

Kali listened carefully as Jayashri spoke to her. She spoke about lives she had taken and she was right. Her heart seemed to come to a crashing halt, but speeded up when Jayashri gave her the directions. She was calm now and listened, but when she heard her speak of killing Karai she nearly went into shock. "Why would I do this? I would never harm any of them, or most of them. I know I've been hurt by them, but some try to help. I can't just kill them. I won't, and what are you going to do about it?" kali growled then remembering how Jayashri knew so many other wolves. They could easily jump her and kill her in a heart beat. Or would Jayashri try something different? Kali stood firm her ears twitching to be sure that this wasn't a trap of some sort.

Jayahsri*Rune

Jayashri's smile widened greatly. "Think about it Kali, Kachina killed your mother and your father. They weren't the greatest wolves in the world, but they were your parents. She killed them. Ageni is her duaghter what if she is the same as Kachina and kills your pups or your loved one becuase their not perfect like her. Do you not remember what a Bitch Aaka and Enola is? How Storm ditched his pups? Karai pressures you to do things you don't like and you feel so out of place Kali. Your not one of them. Sequioa and White Noise are using you. I was listening to them. They'll kill you off when their done with you. Now do I have to continue or only cuase you more pain as the others you pathetic pup," she snapped in her ears her fur brisk and her canines bared.

Another black wolf came into the scene. "Remember Rune? A friend who ditched you? There's many more that will kill all of those wolves if you don't including you. Kill those you want to and have pleasure of your victorious battle like you did with Yanis. Yes, Kali I saw you loved it didn't you!" Jayashri barked looking over her shoulder to Rune. "You know deep down Kali that you want them all dead to stop taunting you," he smirked in a low growl. Jayashri turned back to Kali, "How patheticly weak have you gotten? Yanis was a mutt, but you are a coward," Jayashri scuffed heavily looking deep into Kali's eyes breathing in her face with Rune right next to her. His muscles tightened beneath his think black coat.

Miakoda*Kali

Miakoda was desprate to help Kali. She knew of every wolf in these lands Kali has seen the most and she was returning to the dark. She had to try and talk her out of it as Karai didn't seem care anymore. She followed her scent to White Noise's pack and didn't find her, but kept out of sight not to be attcked. She now came here and she saw Rune, Jayashri, and Kali and they didn't look happy. Miakoda felt her heart jump with worry. Her ears flickered catching distressed voices, but unsure of what they were saying. She knew it was nothing good. She was much smaller then the three of them, not quite a year old. She trotted up to them quickly calling out to Kali franticly, "Kali! Kali, please stay away from these evil creatures. Your one of us Kali. Can't you feel the light. Be strong and fight the darkness," she called now only a few feet away to a dead halt and a worried look.

Kali's bright eyes were burning as she stared back into Jayashri's. Those words ran wildly through her head becuase everything Jayashri was saying sounded so right. When she heard pathetic, and coward she grew angry and even more fustrated then before. Miakoda was one she was supposed to kill and her words, evil creature didn't sound too good. "Evil creature! I am one of those evil creatures!" she snapped in a vicious growl that thundered over the ground.

Jayashri*Rune

Jayashri loved this suspence that scent a shiver down her spine. "Listen to that, she things your some sort of evil creature? What kind of friend calls another that? Even I haven't gone that low," she said with a frown. It was all an act, but she wouldn't let Kali know that. She would make her more angry till she did as Jayashri wanted.

Rune was quite watching the sight. It was like intertainment to him. "Actually, I don't even think Kali is even able to be considered an evil creature," Rune smirked out of the blue.

To make things worse Jayashri nodded and spoke again, "I agree, Kali is nothing more then a coward letting some pup push her around," she said as her smile returned to a wide sheepish grin leaning forward to watch carefully and her jaws hanging open to catch a deep breath of the air.

Kali

Kali was now sick of everyone. She gave Jayashri a sharp look baring her canines then snapping at her as she was in her face. She attempted to snag her throat or muzzle which ever was more easy to snatch.

Jayashri

Jayashri moved too quickly for Kali to snag her throat, but she was too close to dodge the attack and felt Kali's canines clash into the top of her muzzle. She jurked back with her own jaws open and blood dripping down hoping to give Kali a scare and bite around the throat.

Kali*Miakoda

"Kali I didn't mean it like that. You are good Kali, please come home. You have so much going for you!" Miakoda called out to her franticly watching as they started this little scrap.

Kali jumped to the side dodging Jayashri's attack completely while wondering why Rune or any others have yet to attack her as usual. The thought of a trap ran through her mind while Miakoda was shouting at her. "Shut-up! Your so wrong," she snarled reaching over with her jaws opened and to snag her throat. She was so anooying and just couldn't understand.

Miakoda felt the tight grip of Kali's jaws to her throat. She let out a howl before Miakoda was killed. Her howl ecoed over the lands for help, but it was cut short. Blood dripped down her throat as she dropped to the ground still and cold.

Kali looked at her then placing her paw on her limp body with her blood covering her muzzle. She glanced over to Jayashri. "Maybe you are right," she scuffed lightly.

Jayashri

Jayashri watched with great pleasure to see the fall of one of the pups she wanted dead. "The first has fallen Kali. Can't you feel it? Feel the releif?" she said with a wide grin. She turned away facing the rest of the lands. "All be around watching you. Don't forget about the others and don't make it obvois of what you are doing. Pretend this never happened and don't forget Kali, becuase I'll be watching. Me, Rune, Angel, Wild Magic, and Aloysious. We are all watching you," she warned giving her a death glare before dartting off.

Eytan*Astra*Gavan

Astra had heard a howl shatter the plains and fetched her father quickly. Together with her brother, the three of them came dashing in just after Jayashri left.

Eytan skidded to a halt, heart clenching in his throat to see Miakoda dead. The lone ear drooped for a moment before he turned back to business. An old warrior, he could feel death, knew it when he saw it. He would do his greiving later, but for now he must tend to Kali.

Astra watched everything, not registering her sister at all. Not coldness, really, just the fact that Astra was not completely of this world, and had trouble connecting to it.

Gavan began to nudge Miakoda helplessly. He was the oldest. He was supposed to protect her.

Eytan turned eyes to Kali. They were not filled with anger, but with questions. His voice was soft. Mother Karai has been looking for you, little one. I believe that she went to visit Moon Spirit before coming to seek you. You might find her there. I beleive she wants to speak with you. He had no idea of Kali's orders, did not know for sure that Kali had killed Miakoda, though he suspected. He kept a careful eye on his children, watching Kali with the other.

Kali

Kali licked her muzzle that was covered in Maikoda's blood her smile widened. "karai is with moon spirit?" she replied in a low growl. "Perfect," she said lifting her head and looking over to the next easy target. Eytan was right there in front of her, but the others would be harder to locate then Eytan. She slowly turned her body back to Eytan with a sheepish grin. "Little? You damn coward," she snapped baring the tips of her ivory canines her coat brisk as needles as she plunged forward in hopes of ramming into Eytan's chest and knocking the wind out from him long enough to get a decent hit on the old warrior.

Eytan*Astra*Gavan

Astra cried out, Papa!, but the father was already on the move. He dodged the attack with expert precision, somehow in the same movement coming to rest in front of his children. She wouldn't take him so easily. He had a few years on her, and that was an old tactic. His voice was tight. Gavan, Astra... take your sister home. Find your mother. I will be home soon.

They raced to do his bidding, the coldness in his voice something they were completely unfamiliar with. Soon, they had grabbed hold of their sister's body and had dragged it out of sight.

Eytan, whose eyes had never left Kali, spoke softly still, watching for her next move. Coward, am I, Kali? Should I run from you, I would indeed be a coward. Instead I stay here, defending myself, and defending Karai obviously, for despite all she has done for you, it seems you are set to harm her. No, Kali. I am not the coward here. His voice was soft and calm. Who has run from themselves all their lives? It is not I. I have spent years learning to read others like an open book, Kali. You fear the light because it is unfamiliar. You fear the dark because you have felt the light and found it sweet. You fear others who would try to steer you either way, no matter how gentle their steering may be. Obviously you fear Jayashri, though you cover it liberally with anger so that you fool even yourself. But most of all, and worst... you are a shadow, lost between the worlds of dark and light, not really sure in which one you belong. You act confident and you almost believe that you are confident, but you are never truly settled on either side. And it is because of this that you fear, above all else... being alone and unwanted. Of neither side wanting you because you have too much of the other. And he sighed quietly.

I have never abandoned you because you were dark. I have never protected you because you were light. I have let you live your life as you have seen fit. But most of all, Kali, I am shocked by your determination to harm Karai. She fostered you. She cared for you. You have ripped her heart out dozens of times, but always she was gentle and understanding. She loves you, Kali... with every fiber of her being, she loves you. She has tried to persuade you to the light, yes... but she has never forced you, never turned on you when you chose the dark. His eyes hadn't left her all this time, but now his voice had saddened. No matter what else you have done, Kali... you can stop this now. If you kill me, you gain nothing. I have lived a long, full life and have fathered children, and I could die happy. You cannot change that. If you kill Karai, you kill the only wolven who has loved you for yourself, for the totality of you, even when you took deliberate steps to hurt her. And Kali... that kind of love is rare. Wherever you go you can find someone to love you. Jayashri loves you because you are dark. Others love you because you are light. But you can travel far and wide and find no one who will love all of you, every little peice, without discrimination between. So if you kill her, Kali... you'll hurt no one more than yourself. And he sighed, though his eyes never left her, growing cold as they met hers. Now. Kill me, Kali.

Kali

Kali's memories flashed rapidly through her mind. Her heart tugged as everything he said was true. She was born into the darkness and it was the first thing she knew. Both parents were dark and all she knew until Karai. Her life was actually not so insane before she was dragged here. Kali saw both sides and infact she just recently found her true spot. She was born dark and it gave her the statifaction she so craved for. "You stalker! You know me too well, you are a stubborn fool and I'll gladly put you out of my missory along with Karai, your pups, your mate, and all others who made my life what it is when I came here" she snarled viciously as if she were rapid. Jayashri's words flowed through her mind as she plunged again baring her canines with a powerful blow to snag his throat. Her movement was quick without the slightest hesitation. Kali had much expeince in fighting and no one truely knew that part of her. She knew what she was doing. Her shoulders were pushed forth to protect her lower neck and her muzzle at an angle to snag anything that came close to her body.

Eytan

He could dodge only partly this time, and winced as she tore open his shoulder and the back of his neck. Ignoring the pain, he threw that shoulder into her, using his weight to shove her away without hurting her. Tucking his neck defensively, but doing nothing else, he spoke. I need not stalk anyone to see what is so obvious. His voice was still low with calm, but now a little breathless. It was harder work to defend yourself when you didn't want to hurt someone. And if we are misery to you, it is by your making, not ours. As I say, you can stop this, Kali... and you are the only one who can. You know that I am right. If you kill us all, you will hurt no one more than yourself. I do not insist that you come forward to the light. I insist nothing. I do suggest that you stop this. You have already one blooding to your name that I know of, and a few that I suspect. Let it stop with that. You will hear the voices of those you have killed all your life. The longer you kill, the louder they get. My Miakoda will soon be joining them in your mind. You are the only one who can stop this, Kali. But you have to step forward and make a decision that no one else can make for you. And he sighed, still looking at her carefully.

Jayashri has given you an order, yes. Who is she to hold you to such an order? Is that not the same kind of bullying of which you accuse me? A different order, perhaps, but bullying all the same. Don't put a pretty face on what is real, Kali. It blinds you. It is lying to yourself, and one of these days those lies will catch you in a back alley somewhere with no one to watch your back for you.
He sighed again. You may leave here and return to the dark, and none of us will stop you. But if you kill, our voices will be with you always, as innocents you have murdered. Don't let your fear rule you. Don't let Jayashri rule you. You don't wish to do this, not to Karai, at least. I have spoken with Karai many times. You have never harmed her, even the many times she has tried to steer you to the light. And Kali, I know a secret that you don't know. One that could make all the difference. But you don't care to listen to the ramblings of a stubborn old fool like me. And so I will not tell you.

Kali

His shoulder did nothing, to her other then pushing her a step back. "I don't care what secret you have and I don't care. There are things I never told you and so many things I have heard. If voices are to come my life will soon become to cease. I have only heard my mother every night begging me to do this and Jayashri nows it. No one rules me, but me and I want to do this for my mother more then anything in the world. I want this to end and I don't care what happens to me in the end. Miakoda's kill was satisfying on the spot. Yes, satisfying and I will love killing you only more," she snarled knowing he would be a tricky one, but still she had a few more ticks up her sleeve. "But, maybe you are right," said turning away hoping his guard would go down, but either way it was a high chance of sucess for she never failed for this. She sprang up in the air to smack upon his back in the blink of an eye and clamp down on his spine to snap it in half either to paralize his lower half of his body or kill him instantly.

Aloysious*Maska*Malai*Nukpana

Aloysious charged to the prarie where he was supposed to meet Jayashri, but he had other buisness to attend. Three young pups all mostly black followed close behind their evil father. Aloysious saw Kali attacking Eytan and knew Jayashri must have already talked to him. "I'll finish it up from here kali if this old basterd doesn't fall yet. You need to get to your pack with White Noise. Don't kill him either I don't care what Jayashri says about that. Trust me on this worry about the other's first," he said with a smirk.

The three pups looked at him and too the fight being exposed so young just as Kali was the day of her birth. It was all the same and it seemed it would happen to more of them once again.

Zhener

Zhener was just on his way to the Ochotonas, on word from Jessie that Nightcrawler, Kanan, and some other unknown fellow were in trouble with hunters. While rising high above the prairie, the eagle was distracted by movement in the tall grasses, and quickly came to recognize one of his friends with his sharp avian eyes.

"Eytan!" Zhener cried as he swooped low over the scene, realizing the seriousness of the situation, which he had ignorantly thought of as playful at first. "Vhat goes on?" He demanded, red-brown eyes glaring to Kali while his six foot wing span beat heavy in the air, sending a wash of wind on the wolves as he passed by. Not being built to hover, like the agile hummingbird and kestrels, the eagle took to swooping in short, sharp circles. He wasn't too keen to land on the ground right now. "I vill keel you, if you hurt him!" Zhener threatened savagely, which was quite a rare thing for his personality. Still though, he was reluctant to bring himself within reach of the wolves, for he had suffered injuries from their kind more than once.

Eytan

Eytan had carefully dodged her new attack. At Zhener's arrival he did not look away from Kali and Aloysious, only noted his prescence and some little part of him was concious that he was glad Zhener was here. He backed into a more defensive position, keeping eyes on both of them.

Kali

Kali turned to Aloysious nodding with a blank stare. She looked to the pups worriedly knowing that was a mistake then padding off.

Eytan

Eytan glared at Aloysious, his voice soft. Pups should not see those things which you would do to me. And he inhaled, catching the scent of a friend but hiding his surprise. And you would do well to ask your mate of me before you do any killing here. Sighing, he looked up to Zhener, calling to him. Enough, my friend. Let us leave these. We have no business here any longer. And, turning, he dashed away. A father with three pups in tow would not be able to match the pace.
