Rune

Rune dashed from the darkness in acheing pain. At last free from it all. He could still hear the shouts and bangs. Still feeling his flesh being ripped. It was all still there, and it pained him so. The thoughts still seemed to lurk close by every were he went.

He slowly padded to the pack border lines, his cranuim held high as a low growl emitted from his maw. His musles tightend beneath his pelt as black as the night, blending with darkness. His sharp orbs a mystic light creamy brown. His framw was slender, and there were scars on his cranuim, maw, and just above his forepaws. He lowered his maw to the ground taken in sents of a rather large pack. A smile impacted upown his maw. He took a small step back lashing back his cranuim letting out a powerful howl of pain, wishing to join the pack.

His mind was set on this pack, but soon wandered as usual. He tried to control his killing erdge, but it seemed as if it had become adictive. Always he left in tears from the fights, the last with laughter, and now, he even feared himself. He controled it quite well, but he has his molment, when pain and the burning ache of his scars and heart. He could remeber so clearly, the sharp glass from beer bottles thrown at him sliceing his cranuim. He remebered the rip of his flesh and clutch of his throat. His life slipping away when he breaks free. He remebered the displeasure for the first two years of it, and the last year he left with laughter of their deaths in the pits. He knew this grudge would soon lead to serous things, for this was not the pit, things were different. One good thing is that he would not suffer, be around humans, or be jabbed with the long metal rod. Rune's paws seemed to grip the terra beneath him. His talons drawn out digging in deep to clutch the terra tightly, as the pain grew of his heart slamming into him. He knew he needed help.

Pheral

A wolf pack was probably one of the last places one might expect to find a pig living in, but here was an exception. The 610 pound feral sow had met one particular brute; Ice, and was invited here. Although things had gone less than smoothly when the rest of the pack met her, Pheral was confident in gaining the acceptance... or at least respect. With acute senses, quick reflexes, four deadly tusks, and several hundered pounds of bulk to back it all up, this sow made one formidible adversary.

An earthy, musty scent clung to her coarse, bluish fur and wafted faintly in the breeze as she approached Rune. These scents were from two toxic, alkaloid-containing plants she had rubbed herself in. Anyone who dared bite the flesh around her neck, back, and sides were in for a painful shock. Her knowledge of plants was supurb.

"You aren't a member here." Pheral spoke lightly as she stepped out of the thick cover she was traveling through. Her head was held low as she watched Rune with keen, observant eyes. An acute sense of smell made it clear to the sow that Rune didn't carry the pack's scent. "If you wish to join, I can find our alpha. And if you're in need of help for your wounds... I can help that as well." She offered.

Rune

Rune turned his cranuim slightly to the side. His paws clutched the terra tighter. His tassel lashing with the erdge of a kill. His maw opened slightly, he could again taste the salty blood of another slip down his throat. Ahhh... how good that felt in the heart of a battle. His wounds were starting to heal, but had another kind of pain rather then physical. He needed mental help. His mind went bazar, with thoughts he normaly wouldn't think of, and enjoy. Death. Blood. Sufferage.

He noticed a pig close by. Ewww... he thought, how yuck. His mind was of harsh things with the adiction gone wild. Normaly he would just smile, but no. Not with the feelings growing inside. He turned face the pig head on, his cranuim alines to his spine, his shoulders pushed forth, and his pelt brisk, sticken straight up from the top of his neck, down his spine, to the tip of his tassel, that pointed to the heavens above. "I don't need your help. Just get me the alpha or leave me be" He growled, bareing his ivory canines. He controled it quite well, as usualy he would see that pig as dinner. Physical pain he never felt, only the pain of his mental, suffering which he went through in the pits. The memories that taunt him, and some physical pain within the scars and his heart. It all mixed together and quite difficult to control. Harder to keep it together with a fat hog standing right there, but he reframed from attaking, for seeing the pigs deleightful nature, and kindness towards him.

Cavan

The single-eared, scar-faced wolf had also heeded the howl. He was not around the pack often, but today he happened to be hear. His son had already told him of Pheral's acceptance into the pack, though Cavan strongly dissagreed with such a thing.

The grizzly brute made his way towards Rune with his deaf ear pricked up uselessly and his one good eye scathing his path ahead. Having very limited hearing and one good eye left him with a better sense of smell, though it wasn't anything special. When he caught sight of Pheral, Cavan was taken by surprise. His son had described the pig as being the size of a bear, and Cavan had rightly assumed the youngster was grossly over-estimated the size. But still... she was much larger than he had in mind. Many times his own size.

Rumbling lightly as he passed the swine, his good eye turned to Rune, sizing him up. "Who're you?" He asked gruffly.

Ghost

Alphaess was still a bit unvered from Mitya getting into the fight that had nothing to do with her, and now Vicious trying to bring havok to her pack. Auds perked up hearing the calls, she had sent Mitya to look after the other, not knowing it was a pup. She made her way over to the group, seeing Pheral, she snarled at her. "Back off pig." Fangs bared, her hair rose up as she stalked forwards. Her banner straight up and her crown just above her shoulders. "Whats your business here Sahib?" She asked in a cruel icey tone, she ment the word Sahib in a rude way to refer to him as a male. Her orbs glared over to Cavan. "Well look who decided to show up." She said sarcasticaly to him. Tupit had shown up when meat was brought in, but she hadnt seen him since. Turing her attentino back to the unknown, her orbs looking at his scared body, sizing him up incase he decided to attack any of them.

Rune

Rune looked up to see a brute standing before him. His mind was suddenly shot empty at last. A smile came to his maw. The thoughts and erdge of kill had left, but he knew they would return, but for now he could just be his normal self Rune. He dipped his maw to the brute. "Aya, I am Rune. I have come from lands far from these, I have no Idea were I am, but I need to come and live among a pack as I once have. To help forget. Yes, forget, and exuse me of any rudeness I may have" He said strongly, his smile still glowing. His tassel at last swayen as he could think like himself. What scared him as some of himself could still be as ruthless as the bloody thoughts.

He looked over his shoulder to see the alphess. He dipped his maw with respect, but hearing a fae act so hasty, his thoughts all came back together all at once pounding is cranuim maken his dizzy. His smile just suddenly dropped. "My buisness is to join the pack" He snapped. As his paws clutched the terra tighter tryen not to attak. His orbs watched her closely.

Pheral

She readily backed off when two more wolves showed up. Her dark eyes lit on Ghost for a moment, knowing this was the one who she really needed to gain trust of.. or something like that. Having chatted with animals here and there on her journey through the Valley, Pheral came to the understanding of the struggles between the wild creatures and the humans. She knew Ghost was one that tangled with the humans and there things often.

"When you are done here, I would like to talk with you. Concerning humans." Her eyes narrowed faintly, almost wicked looking. But a small grin showed itself in her long muzzle, hinting at the mischief she wanted to engage in. But not wanted to anger her alpha or interrupt the conversation, Pheral slipped back into the thick cover of the plants and headed away.

Cavan

Cavan nodded, letting his defense down and adopting a more friendly pose as Rune replied to him. "Cavan's the name." He added before Ghost showed up. Pulling his single ear back a bit, he took a step away and lowered his head to the alpha, "Hhhmph, 'looks who's returned' phah..." Cavan mumbled under his breath, but knew he definitely didn't deserve a warm welcoming after being absent so much. He looked back at Pheral and rolled his eyes, "Stupid hog."

Rune

Rune watched as the pig left. "Finaly" He muttered. He glanced back to Cavan, and nodded forceing a smile of exceptance to him. He found this brute to have a real mind, and real thoughts. Yes, he knew what he was thinkin, unlike many other idoits that always seemed to crowd around him. Strangly this place was so different. The erdge kept coming back. He had fought a wolf before other then the pitbulls and other canines in the pits. They seemed like a fair challenge, and he was drawn to it. He was adicted to the blood. Yes, how nice it would be to taste it again.

Rune's mind froze. What was he thinken? Blood? How cruel. For the only blood that should be shed is what we needed to keep things in harmony and all things that were an anoyance. Yes, now he thought as himself once again. Not so ruthless, but still with his agressive nature. As that he would never lose, and it was something he gained over time. Something that seemed to just have become...him.

Angel

A young fae bolted up to Rune with a low growl. She flew right to his side, her cranuim held below his glareing up at him. Her frame was just as slender as Rune's, her pelt was just as dark. Only, she had white mixed it, and a white patch over her maw, and one just above her right shoulder. She was the same size as him, and she was his half sister. Angel has a strange mind, but it's kinda cute sometimes when you get over the whole death and freak out thing. Her orbs unlike, Rune were a bright amber. They glanced over to Cavan, who seemed to be speaking to Rune. She just stared at him, sayen nothing. Her orbs turned back to Rune. She was so silent as creepy thoughts went through her mind.

At last she cracked a smile. "Allo!" She said kindly, but her smile fadded as the sent of a fat hog entered her noise. She lightly sneezed. "Eww... Hog" She snotred alineing her cranuim with her spine as a quiver ran down. Her mind was surely strange as her thoughts were simlar to Rune's only with abit more bliss to them. She knew Rune hated her, but she loved to anoy him. She liked to see him angered. Besides he's always up to something.

Ghost

Minx become more angered when the Rune snapped back at her. Fangs went forwards, she bit at his nose. "If you want a to be a part of this pack, you will watch how you use your tounge Sahib!" She warned him. Orbs looked back at Pheral as she spoke, a grunt was emitted as she walked off. "Stupid pig... its good as dead."She said quietly, turning her attention back to Rune, but quickly growled at Cavan, she didnt quite hear him mocking her, but knew he said something. Her orbs widened as Angel came running in, she growled slightly at her. "What do you want?!" She snapped at her, feeling a bit agitated. Oh how her pack was growing, she loved it, but she needed a mate... even though she was surrounded by pups and other, she still felt a bit lonely every once in awhile.

Rune

Rune jerked back before the alphess snagged the tip of his maw. His reactions were quick as once before they were used everyday. Rune was indeed a smart allic, or so he was when he went out of it. "I show my respect, and do my share in a pack, and I will be refered to as my name, Rune" He growled. He didn't care how she would reply, but maybe he did. He wasn't sure. He was alone in the world now, and he needed someone, or someplace to be. He turned away from the fae not to hear her reply, or maybe so. His audits still faced her and listening not wanting to miss what she would say.

He faced Angel who came upto him. He gave her an odd stare. "Look, you. Must you follow me around! I know your my so called, sister, but get this your only half my sister. Mom left me for you. Go to her as you want. Me and MY dad will soon lay dead together... Understand?" he snapped, his pelt brisk as his voice thundered over with fury and displeasure.

Angel

Angel froze listening to Rune's words buy they didn't stick. Her smile grew wide as she started to circle him. "I love to follow you. I Love to anoy you. Mother was killed, do you understand dim witt? Or is all this too stressful to you? Besides I can go where ever I damn well please. As you I have no where to go. Chava, and Songa are now dead, oh and your only friend Kasa told me to give you this message..." Angel spoke clearly with a harsh tone, and luaghter mixed. She surtainly had a sick mind, but that was all after the incodent. She stopped right infront of him. "Outch" She whispherd. That was the message. "Her last word at her death. Suffering. Yes, I left her. I tried to help her hoenest. It's not my fualt mother had to me so selfish, and drag me to the cliff!" She barked. Her nerves had gotten shook up, and she had gone hay wire. She turned to Ghost lifting her cranuim, but just slightly below Ghosts. "So hasty, and yet you don't know me. I come to join your pack. Though I can't belive someone would join this pack with an alphess so rude, and hasty as yourself... oh... wait... I would. Yes, nice pack. You seem like a fine alphess, maybe if you settle down you would get more members. Na. Anyway, I'm more of the kind to help run things around here, I get the orders and give them, but I seem to like the way you run things around here. Nice, very nice" She said with a blissful tone, dipping her maw with respect and glareing back at Rune.

"Well now, I'm starving. I smell a hog. mmm... yes, they are nice and blubbery. A nice fest, and stupid... yes an easy catch with their stupidity" She muttered beneath her breath.

Ghost

She growled, listening to first Rune, then the two of them bickering and then Angel. "Stay if you want, I have other things to do." Taking one last look at the two and Cavan, she turned and loped out of the packlands.

Rune

Rune glared at Angel, he wasn't about to start this again. He turned back to the alphess, now deeply anoyed and nodded hearing that he could stay. He gave Angel one last glare as she anoyed him so. He turned away and padded off, not looking back. He would go and explore, but before he dashed off a real smile came to him to Cavan, and he nodded to him as well.
