Incalia

I N C A L I A
It's my time to shine

Rustling through the tall grasses of the prairie, a large canine could be seen. He coat, a black and brown mix, was easy to spot amongst the light grass. She didn't bother trying to hide, what use would it be anyway, and even if someone did try to attack her, they would have an incredibly hard job to contain her. You see, Incalia is a crossbreed, a powerful crossbreed. Her mother was a Rottweiler, her father, a German Shepherd. The two powerful dogs combined to give her an extremely muscular and powerful body, which she had learned to use well. Her bushy tail, inherited from her father, brushed against the grasses as she trotted through the grass. Her ears were pricked and she was alert. Her genes had also made her light on her feet, but her weight did counter that quite a bit. Weighing in at 50 kg, she wasn't heavy but she wasn't light either. She stopped near a small group of about 5 trees, a blot in the landscape of the prairie, which made her blend in a little better, but not much. She didn't relax, just paused to catch her breath but stayed alert. She needed somewhere to stay, as she was fiercly loyal to those she deemed worthy and was a very good fighter.

She needed a pack, because although she could survive on her own, she needed the company of others.

Risen

Silver huntress came into the land, she was on the scout to find more loyal and strong members. Her pack was to succeed and that's all she wanted, it was what she lived for now. To rule, to rule the world. She knew that she had to gain memebers to make that successful.

As she rounded from the tree's she saw the larger female, a dog. Oh but how this one looked strong. Risen was only half the other's size, at 27 kg (60 lbs), she looked unsuccessful. But her appearance misjudged her true nature.

She walked slowly up to the dog, her hackles raised and teeth showing devilishly. Her ears blended in with her neck to make her eyes seem wider and allowed more white to show around her piercing yellow eyes. Her father was the largest wolf, and yet she had turned out over a hundred pounds less than him, but her attidute and strength made up for what physical intimidation lacked. Although her frame was small, muscles bulged from her sides, making her slightly over toned, flexing with each long stride she covered. Her eyes locked onto the fea's forehead, knowing to well eye contact would scare her away at the moment.

In a soft yet deadly hiss she began to speak. She was just out of reach of the other canine and ready to dodge if she were to attack. "Hello there, you look quite strong, one who demands respect. Am I correct?" She paused, yet the question deemed itself retorical as she continued "Of course you are. And so are we. The Shadow Haunters. My name is Risen, Daughter to Vicious and Fallen, Alpha of the Shadow Haunters. State your name." Risen wasn't one for dogs, but they were techinqually cousins and if this one would join, she would allow her to be an alpha of a subpack strictly for dogs. She had to gain the trust of all the hunters anyways.

Incalia

Incalia's gaze was scanning the opposite direction to Risen when the wolf rounded the corner. Her pricked ears acted like radar and caught onto the small sounds Risen made in her approach. Swinging her head round, she spotted her, and instantly raised herself to her full height. The body language of the femme made her feel, strangely wary of this particular wolfess, strange seeing as she is half her size. Dropping her ears back, Incalia tucked her neck and her fur bristled, making her seem slightly bulkier and coiled her muscles ready to dodge any attacks. A low, sinister rumble started in the back of her throat. Her own brown eyes locked with Risen's, not yet knowing the rank of the alphess, as she threw all caution to the wind, after all it was her that had been threatened.

As Risen started to speak, Incalia's ears slowly lifted, but her posture remained the same. As Risen asked the rhetorical question, Incalia prepared herself to answer, but it seemed she did not have to, so ceased to say anything. The growling stopped, and she cocked her head, but had a "don't mess with me" look in her eyes.

As the word "Alpha" was spoken, she dropped her glare into the others eyes to Risen's chest, out of respect, and also in case the Shadow Haunters were around, she may be able to hold her own against Risen, but against a pack, she wouldn't be so lucky, and she wasn't one to run from a fight.

Incalia.

It was short, and to the point, no need to waste any breath with idle chit-chat. She looked to Risen, slightly confused, what did she want with her?

Risen

Her featured turned into a dark grin as the fea did not oppose her as strongly as she had started. Her position stayed the same; strong, defiant, demanding and unstopable. Her ears now layed back as to decorate her head. It gave her a more wise look as she began again to speak slowly, strongly, without faulter or hesitation. "We are expanding our pack now, or at least I am. I wish for it to be all preditors instead of just wolves. Dogs, cats, every creatures that hunts and can hunt. A creature that has power, and I only come to those I see fit for power." She hissed in her darkly gaze. "I offer you to lead a branch of Shadow Haunters, They will reside in one of the Shadowlands. The branch will be for dogs and dog hybrids, if you allow. What do you say, can you lead an army?" She glowered as her words stung the air. Awaiting a reply.

Incalia

Incalia narrowed her eyes in thought, considering the offer that Risen was putting forward. The Shadow Haunters must have been a pack for wolves, or at least it had started out like that, and now she had a chance to become a leader. So the deal was she would be part of the Shadow Haunters, under Risen's control, but she would lead the Dog's and Hybrid's as a group. Power, Risen was offering her power, and it was a deal Incalia couldn't pass up. The look of thought slowly changed to a look of a dark, calculating smirk.

It's not a question of if, my alpha, it's a question of when I lead my army, and the answer is, whenever we find worthy canines.

Relaxing her muscles, Incalia thought about the offer she had just accepted, and the more she thought about it, the more she liked it.

You said "We are expanding our pack", Is there another who rules by your side?.. She didn't leave any time for Risen to reply however, she quickly spoke again, witha tone of arrogance, but not one that should offend Risen's status, after all Incalia was technically a second-in command now. Why don't you tell me on the way? I would like to meet my fellow pack-mates, if that's not too much trouble.

Risen now had the key to Incalia, power. With that power, Incalia would, and could, do anything for the pack, and her loyalty would never faulter. (sp?)

Risen

An evil grin coursed her lips as she heard the acception and nodded. She hesitated to answer the question only because the female seemed to continue without letting her answer. When the fea was done speaking she answered the question anyways. "Aye, though one that will betray me and that sign is clear. Her name is Hidden Betrayal, she seeks to tear the pack apart but I will deal with her shortly." She growled under her breath then turned and began to head to the Ruins.

On the way she did further explain: " When I started this pack, I was looking for power, and respect. Those who opposed us would fear us whle those who gained our alliance would be shown just the same respect. My half sister has been claiming Shadowlands, they are branches, or Subpacks, to the Haunters. Like a leader of war you will have your own division. However in the pack will be different, you must find your rightful place among the main branched shadow lurkers for they are the seniors of the pack and the ones who have helped the pack take off. You will easily dominate some but the rest are just as hard headed and strong. I cant have an army of sissies." Her strides were dark and full of power. Her brow contorted in a hateful thought toward her co-alpha: Betrayal. "There will be a war shortly, I must stop Betrayal before she spreds chaos around the pack. When she is threw the Haunters will soar, I know it." She paused in her speach. "When the subpacks take off there will be a Leaders council, one who will debate any new events and opportunities we have. Where to attack next, how to distroy a foe or one of the many who stand in our way. We are not a weak pack and we will show that to the world. The whole world will tremble at our names if they oppose us." She snickered softly, "But how am I to say that while we have a traiter in our midsts. You will see one we clear this next hill of action the true plan for the Haunters. If you have ever heard of the Lurkers, I being a former Lurker, We will surpass those ninnies by a million lands." She was quiet now as she entered the land.
