Disarm

The musuclant sruffy red wolf swiftly came to the den site of the pack to fetch some of the pups for more hostages as they already had Lily, and Sava. Strange he hadn't seen Shaba or Kali for so long, but he didn't worry about that. He looked around and slinked around to see a den with two pups then Karai which he had heard of and yearlings he watched closely with a sheepish smile and padded closer into the sence.

Kanan

Kanan had kept a wary guard of the place, and quickly noticed the red wolf slinking near the den. Kanan growled quietly and stood up, throwing his tail high and bristling his fur. Thanks to his father, he had large size and strength, though he wasn't so accustomed to fighting yet. Stalking towards Disarm, Kanan growled threateningly, "You don't carry the pack's scent; who are you?"

Nightcrawler

The lithe brute came into the den area, struggling with Kali as he pulled her in by the scruff. His attempts to hold onto her already resulted in injury to the fae, which made Nightcrawler all the more regretful. Finally reaching the den, he paused but did not let go of her yet. "Kali! Please stop fighting!" He looked pleadingly around at the others, first hoping that they didn't think he was attacking her, and secondly he needed their help to contain Kali. By orders from Eytan, she was to stay here during the battle.

Kali*Disarm

Kali stopped fighting as they stopped moving hearing the way his voice sounded. She took in a deep breath and didn't move.

The red wolf's attention dragged to seeing one of the wolves he was told to get. Let's see... he thought. Nita, Ageni, Kali. Yes that seemed to be her. His sheepish smile just suddenly widend. He padded to her with a low rubmle of a growl. He snapped at Night vicously and his bright stare turned to Kali.

As Kali saw the brute come she started to fight to break free. This was Ogam's scruffy friend. She wasn't about to stick around for this. Or maybe she'd just rip her head off.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler didn't move from the snaps, for he wasn't about to let Kali go and possibly get killed. Where is everyone? he thought, but had not time to waste. Bringing both paws up over her back, he tried to force Kali to the ground, and be sort of a shield for her against Disarm's teeth. "Back off, brute!" Night snarled between his clenched teeth, but couldn't really do much at the moment until Kali was subdued.

Kali*Disarm

Kali didn't move now, so still on the ground.

The brute glared at Night with his bright orbs. "You don't even know my name and here you are shoutin" He said shakin his cranuim. He glanced over to Kali. "Has your second birthday come yet? Ogam wanted me to ask. Don't ask why cuse I don't know." He growled stepping in range.

Kali glared at him, her jaws open. "In another four months. So although Ogam is your best friend he doesn't tell you anything? Strange." She said tryen to anoy him.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler released his hold once Kali was still, but he was poised to try and stop her if she attempted to run again. He wanted to get the tast of her blood out of his mouth, badly. But at the moment, he had greater concerns. "Well you don't present yourself as the friendly type." Night shot back, sounding about as mean as he ever did in his life; which wasn't much anyway. He lifted his head, fangs bared and eyes narrowed, 'Take one step closer, and you'll be sorry."

Disarm

Disarm stared at him with the same cold stare that Kali had, in away from their last encounter he had picked it up from her. It was so deep, cold, and poisonous. He crept closer ready for some exsitment.

Nightcrawler

He knew he shouldn't leave Kali, but he needed to get Disarm away before he was close enough to harm the fae. At last, he felt he had no choice. Praying that someone else was near enough to keep watch on Kali, Night sprung his lithe body at the red wolf, ready to collied and maybe roll him off his feet. Night's jaws struck for the other's throat, but he wasn't sure if his aim was good or not. It had been a while since he last fought, and he was a bit rusty at it.

Disarm

The red wolf was hardly a fighter normaly he just followed behind Ogam, but he had been in some fights every so often. He collided his jaws smached his as his lowered protecting his throat.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler snarled lightly when he missed, but instantly his jaws struck out again, this time aiming to gash Disarm across the face. He was almost glad that he missed actually, for he had never killed another wolf before, and wasn't looking forward to it anytime soon. So now his tactics changed.

Disarm

Feeling the touch bone clash across his face drawing blood her lowered his head pushing up for his cranuim to smack into the brute's lower jaw.

Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler was about to snap again for the head, attempting to draw more blood. He didn't expect Disarm's next attack, which caught him off guard. The solid cranium smashed into his lower jaw, causing Night to pull back with a startled yelp. Cursing himself mentally for showing weakness at such an important time, the lithe wolf threw himself at the red wolf, now trying to get a hold on the other's shoulder.

Disarm

Disarm threw himself to the brute as well only a shoulder attak could only go so far. As he felt Nightcrawler hit his shoulder he went for the chest to knock the wind right out of him.

Nightcrawler

He clenched his jaws, trying to get a steady grip, but failed because Disarm moved at the right moment. Snarling more savagely, Night felt the other collied with him and he staggered back, gulping in the air that had been knocked clean out of him by the impact. Now his head swept upwards, trying to tag Disarm across the underside of his jaw.

Disarm

Being smacked he lept back taken a quick breath, "Maybe you shall learn some moves from me" He growled. He lunged forth again to snatch his maw.

Nightcrawler

His eyes narrowed as he readied for the next assault, "Unlikely! You'll..." Too late! While he was busy replying, Disarm moved for his next attack. Night tried to pull back, but his maw was snatched at the last moment. Quickly, he began to thrash about and swipe at Disarm with his front paws, trying to break free of the hold.

Vengeance

The solitary apparition thrived, chasing the shadows that sought to encompass him, winding through the forest that held the secrets to his past and present. He found himself alone once more. His scar burned as it seemed to have been for years now. Vengeance’s bright eyes peered around the dense forest that surrounded him with bright autumn colors, and the sounds of birds singing so blissfully. His ears flattened to his cramuim glued straight to them, He was a warrior he knew how to kill not how to lead and he feared it was showing. His head lifted high as it once was everyday. His once empty mind full of the frustrating, and fearsome memories. His tail twitched as his large paws pounded on the earth beneath him, rattling the underbrush and the soil eroding. Pausing in his tracks more thoughts overflowed his once empty mind. The gental breath of wind blew his pure ebony pelt and his firy amber orbs burned.

A large crave, a large urdge, and a large hope. Everything he was not. Small and lithe was the brutes game, slick and slender was who he was. Those of power and might, strong and inimidateing, always proved to him that it was non-sence. He was smart and experinced, quick and clever. Never had he lost a fight, but challenged so many times and left without a single mark. His bright amber eyes burned as they danced along the herizon of his lands. His ears erct and his head held low with disapointment, but soon to arise with the want and stride of sucess and life. Standing here wouldn't do him any good. Standing here alone would bring only damage to his mind. Although it had yet done anything to harm him as nothing has. He wasn't perfect. He does not always do whats best and will go through tough things and do things the hard way to prove to himself what he could do that he has his own kind of power and with that he was satisfied.

Although nothing seemed to be enough he always wanted more, he would never just take something and never just gave something there had to be something behind it, earning or deserving. Every pack he was always drivin out starting with an alphas bad choise and putting them in their place rather then the other way around. He had a tendency to show off, but now if he does right after he always would turn and walk away in shame, but soon to end the pitty and go back to work that may be layin around someplace or work to accomplish something so much bigger then life it's self, but he won't stop there getting so wrapped up in himself like last time when his loved ones starved to death, killings everywere and him cuasing starvation of many others with his iron will and heavy strides. At the end he was alone with one other staring at him in resistance as they stood in the enemies ashes. Gone for so long after that, he couldn't allow himself to repeat it, he wouldn't.

Pausing, standing so still feeling the icy wind touch his face his bright orbs glared at Disarm. His audits perked forth and he gave him a strange look of disatisfaction. His pelt brisk and the ends swayed with the gental breeze. He bared the tips of his ivory canines flashing their pure white color agaist his ebon color. "Disarm your time here has been spent or would you rather me take place in this fuet?" He said in a low voice a growl rubmleing up is throat to a vicous snarl. His paws gripping the earth for an attak or for the for the brute to retreat as last time they had their encounter.

Can't you see it? This thing, This creature, it's here, here lurking inside of me!

Nightcrawler

He still tried to pull back, muffled snarls being issued between his trapped jaws. Stil he swatted and batted at the red wolf, trying to pull free, not caring about the skin that was torn on his muzzle and jaws. Then his eyes shifted for amoment, catching a glimpse of a stranger that made him panic for a moment, fearing it was a buddy of Disarm. But his fears were quickly alayed with the newcomer's threat to the red wolf.

Vengeance*Disarm*Kali

Disarm released Nightcrawler just as the brute came into veiw he nodded as he spoke and dashed off like the wuss that we was.

Vengeance looked at Night with a smile. "You are very brave young brute." he said. His bright firy orbs crossed over to an old friend Kali who always seemed to be quary around him, or unsure about him. He nodded slowly to her as his tassel swayed from side to side gentaly his audits twitched and his shoulders back and well relaxed.

Kali rose to her paws stareing at Nightcrawler to Vengeance back and forth at the two ebon, slender brutes.

NIghtcrawler

He stood still, looking to Vengeance with a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty. "Thank you." He spoke at last, deciding this new brute was an ally. Night glanced almost sheepishly to Kali, dropping his head down without even realizing it. "Kali... I'm really sorry about forcing you back here..." He let his words trail away as his sharp yellow orbs searched her face, hoping to see some forgivness. Then he looked to Vengeance again, "Thank you for driving that other one away. I'm Nightcrawler... you?"

Kali*Vengeance

Kali smiled at him, "Never could I stay mad to a friend." She said gentaly then turning her head to the herizon far off. She took in a deep breath glancing at Night, "Sorry, but I just can't stay right now" She said and attepting to bolt off.

The brute nodded to Night, "I am Vengeance, and don't thank me." He said, he never took anything from anyone not even a simple thanks.

Karai

Karai saw the yearling try to bolt, and leapt in front of her. The alpha's orders are for you to STAY HERE! Whatever you think of me, you WILL NOT place this pack and its members in danger because you are afraid of the outcome. It's time you grew up, Kali. You loved me once, as I still love you. DON'T make me force you. Stay and help me protect the young ones.

Gavan*Astra

Alpha's oldest pups raced into the den to be confronted by Karai's anger. Though it was not directed at them, they immediately shrank against Kavan. Here was a friend who would protect them from the raving silver mother. Whining and frightened, they waited.

Kanan

Kanan stood silently, watching the conflict between Kali and Karai. He was emensely pleased when the two pups choose him as their safety point, and he couldn't help but smile and wave his tail. Kanan wanted to take them off exploring, but he had enough sense now to know this was perhaps the worst of times to pull that stunt. So what could entertain a bunch of pups and distract them from all the fear and tension they were surrounded by? Kanan thought hard for a moment before dipping his head to their level.

"Wanna do something fun? I've got a little game we can play that will use your imagination." Kanan waited with a grin, hoping he enticed them and drew their attention away from the bad things.

Gavan*Astra

Gavan forgot all about the conflict and grinned up at his tall friend, tail waving enthusiastically.

Astra, though still a little frightened, felt that it would be harder to be frightened if she had fun playing a game, and so she let out a soft yip, her opinion clear.

Kali*Vengeance

Kali growled as Karai spoke to her, "don't you see?" She began. "Ogam wants three of us. He remembers us from before we returned here after Kachina's death. If we are gone then he'll have nothing here to want. He'll move on. But someone still must sneak in and get Lily, and Sava someone he's looking for on his kill list or another that wantd to repeat the past, to keep everyone out they must stay out and we must run. You can't beat him Karai, and I'm not running. You'll just have to see what I have in mind." Kali snapped and leapt over Karai's back and took off.

Vengeance shook his cranuim. He glanced to the others. "A pup I once knew came to me drownding in darkness, but lifted out as we stood up agaist what was holding her down. This dark pup now grown knows what she's talkin about. I am one of those he wants. Only three are from this pack. A repeat will not happen, and I know what she is going to do. She has done it once before" He said looking out to the herizon in the dirction she had bolted off into. She took off south and The lithe and slender ebon brute took off behind with plains of his own.

Kanan

"Great! Alright, we'll head over here..." He began, swishing his brushy, white tail through the air as he padded over towards the den entrance. There Kanan figured he could rush the youngsters into the safety of the burrow if trouble arose. "We're going to play a game where you can't speak, alright? You've got to act out some creature... or, or something, and everyone else has to figure out what's being acted. Got it?" He looked from one to the other, wondering if they were still interested or not.

"I'll start out! Just shout out what you think I'm pretending to be!" The wolf backed away a little bit, then reared up on his hindlegs. It was an awkward position, but with a bit of hobbling and jumping, he was able to retain the stance for a short time. His front paws folded up near his chest while his face contorted into a silent snarl.

Nightcrawler

He listened intently, ready to speak up somewhere and question what he might be able to do in this situation. He thought about volunteering to sneak in and get these stolen pups that were mentioned, for he was exceptionally lithe and silent, and his black pelt blended flawlessly with the night. Yet before he could find a place to speak up, Kali shot off all too soon. "Wait! Kali!" He barked sharply, turning to flee after her, but hestitated when Vengeance followed the wolfess. Looking to Karai and the others, he spoke with worry, "Eytan wants me to keep her here... but where is the line drawn? She sounds confident in her abilities and knowledge..." He trailed off, seeking advice from the others on what should be done. Above all else, he wanted to make sure no harm came to Kali, or the pups for that matter. He was quite torn at the moment.

Karai*Gavan*Astra

Karai came up beside the confused male, shaking her head sadly. Let her go, Nightcrawler. Eytan, kind as he is, does not know Kali. Kali will have her way even if she must have it kicking and growling. Do not risk your friendship with her. Vengeance will be able to keep her safe enough, and she is no stranger to violence herself. Do not lose your friendship with her. She needs someone, and she will not let it be me anymore. There was sadness in her eyes, but her voice was determindly level.

Gavan was already hopping about, imitating Kanan, though he could not sustain the pose. I know I know! It's one of those things that the two-legs sit on and walk around. It's a... a howrs. And his tongue stumbled around the unfamiliar word.

Astra giggled, and shook her head, fear forgotten. It's a HORSE, silly. Remember mama showed us one.

Jessie

Jessie watched Kanan's antics, puzzled at first on what he was creating. "...it's... it's...." The youngster trailed off, then suddenly jumped up, "A human! That's what it is? Right?" Her tail wagged furiously, then she looked to Gavan and Astra, "What in the world is a... howrs? How.. horse?" She tried out the new word, first mispronouncing it like Gavan had done.

Angels Sin

Angels Sin stayed in her den for a moment guarding her two pups as if they were her lifeline. Every time someone came near a growl erupted from her throat being careful not to manuver to much. She didnt like all the comotion outside and her pups nestled farther against her. Suddenly a thought came to her. Numb She turned to her unnamed female and said softly "Numb and Burn. My mismatched pups."

Kanan

He grinned as he heard their guesses, but he wasn't mocking them at all; rather, he was finding this rather fun. His spirit was far more like a pup than a responsible adult's. "Not quite, good tries though. Keep guessing!" Kanan encouraged, struggling to remain on his hindlegs.

To further demonstrate the thing he was trying to be, Kanan swiped a paw out and did another mock roar. But this paw swipe caused him his balance, and Kanan fell back to all fours. Once again, the wolf reared back, teetering and staggering once more to keep his balance.

Angels Sin

"Bear? Cougar?" she asked from her den. She could see him playing and wanted to play along with them for she was young, very young.

Gavan*Astra

Gavan grinned at the female in the den, tail wagging, though he didn't know her. That's it! That's got to be! Is that it Kanan?

Astra began to bounce about, thrilled.

Kanan

He came back to the ground, finding his hindlimbs rather exhausted by their awkward task, "That's right!" He yipped, panting a bit and flurishing a broad grin, "A bear! Your turn!" Kanan stepped back and sat down near Gavan, Astra, and Jessie.

Angels Sin

She paused a moment and turned to her newborn pups. Ill just be a minute she thought to herself. She crawled out of the den after pushing them back a bit farther. She looked at Asta and her twin and said softly "Ok im new at this so be nice"

She gave them a menacing look as she stretched out on her stomach making her body as long as possible and snapped her teeth sharply. She repeated this a few times then waited her eyes smiling.

Gavan*Astra

Astra kept one eye on the pups, prepared to tell their mother if they became uncomfortable, but not moving toward them. Keeping the other eye on Angel's Sin, she giggled. That's a funny sort of animal that walks on its belly!

Gavan shot his sister a look, and said, That's coz it's a snake, you silly. You know, the kind that squirm along and hiss like cats and bite and leave poison. He turned bright eyes to the older femme. Am I right?

Angels Sin

She laughed and shook her head. "Close but not quite." She snapped her teeth sharply as if grabbing onto prey and rolled over and over gathering leaves and dirt in her hair. She smiled as she thought of the particular animal who was menacing and evil but she knew of one who wasnt

Gavan*Astra

Gavan furrowed his brow, which scrunched up his nose in a most comical way. He was thinking hard.

Astra did the same, but perked up suddenly, saying, Ohoh! I know! It's like Galar at the Marsh! It's a... crocodile? Or alligator I'm not sure which...

Angels Sin

"Very good. Now let me ask something before I go back to my den. What are you guy's names? I am new here and know only Mama Karai." It was clear that she was young. Very young. She looked around and said softly "My sister Fallen Angel came here once. She had come to speak to Storm and his mate. I dont think she got along with them very much. Fallen doesnt really like anyone though" she smiled softly and turned back to the two younger ones and watched them quietly waiting for their answer

Gavan*Astra

Gavan smiled at the older female, and spoke with the grin in his words. I'm Gavan, eldest son of the alphas. This is Astra, eldest daughter.

Turning to the others in attendance, he spoke quietly. The dark gray yearling with blue eyes is Saxton, Karai's eldest. The light gray and black with deep brown eyes is Joscelin, the small silver with honey eyes is Aderyn, and the combo of gray, white, and tan with the dark blue eyes is Ziarre. They're all Karai's yearling pups. You'll met Poison Blade and Miakoda, my brother and sister, later on. Watch out for Poison, though. He's... temperamental.

Astra nodded and smiled in all the right places, yipping and wriggling every once in a while.

Angels Sin*Numb*Burn

The female smiled and nodded "Alright. But I doubt he could be as tempermental as Abamacho. Has anyone told you about-" before she could continue a loud howl shattered across from the border. It was from the silver glades. Quietly she listened and a shocked look crossed over her face. "Aaka and Legosa are mates.....I didnt know that happened.....Pups are on the way....My oh my.....This cant be good. Aaka and Legosa. A match made in Hell. Those two would be happy together yes, but the pups....How evil they would be." she paused and shook her head. This was going to be the end of all the other packs.
