Pheral

Pheral had left the group of wolves, heeding their less than casual loathing towards her. Feeling more alarmed and worried for her safety, the sow made another stop and found a cluster of White Hellborne plants; one of the two she had rubbed on earlier. digging up the plant, she rolled about in it, getting the roots and leaves mashed into her coarse fur. Trying to bite her now would leave any predator's mouth with an agonizing burn.

Pheral walked around a little more, spotting plants that could kill within hours, or even quicker. Other that caused demensia and extreme aggression. Others that were sedatives, and still numerous others. But she didn't want to harm any in her pack in an ireversible way. Satisfied with her new layer of 'armor', the sow began to root around for food for herself.

Dazzler & Jade

The two pups were watching this large... Whatever it was. Dazzler lead her friend around to Pheral, stopping every once in a while to see what she was doing. She then stopped and ducked behind a large bush, her friend right next to her. The two youngsters watched, amazed and in awe.

Pheral

Pheral paused suddenly, detecting the movement of the two youngsters. Her keen snout went to work, picking their scents out of the air until she identified them as wolf pups. And it seemed that no adult was around; good for her. This could be your chance. Just don't scare them....

Pheral turned to where she last heard the pups moving, though she couldn't be sure if she was facing them or not. In a secure, friendly tone, the sow began to speak, "Why don't you come out and visit? I'd love to have a chat with a couple of youngsters like yourselves. Maybe I could show you some neat things, too." Knowing pups, she figured she could pry them out of hiding by the offer of something interesting.

Tyrant .+. Crucified

Medium sized pup walked past the two pups and up to the sow, A very devilish look on his face. Dull brown eyes stared into the sow's "Get out of the land, you are not welcome here." His teeth appeared and he began to growl. Hackles starting to rise. Tyrant came up behind him. The pup was unusually big, the size of a small adult. Deep red eyes stared at his smaller brother then to the sow, he wasn't much smaller than her. Already getting up to 90-95 pounds. He sat his black bod down and stared at the sow, wondering what kind of reaction she would give his brother. He didn't even pay attention to the pups behind him.

Dazzler & Jade

Dazzler growled at the two other pups. She would most likely be bigger than any wolf, since she had Bernard blood and Timber wolf blood in her, along with some Border collie. Timbers were the largest out of all the breeds of wolves known. But enough of that; who did these pups think they were? She let her lips curl back in a silent snarl toward Cricified as she then stood, showing her tiny pup teeth at him. She walked closer to them but circled aorund to Pheral's front side, watching her. She was eager to see the sow's reaction to the words given to her.

Jade followed after Dazzler, body kept low to the ground as she sat next to her on sleek haunches. Her Bernese Mountain Dog breed would make her grow big indeed, but not nearly as large as Dazzler. She watched, listening intently to the words being exchanged.

Pheral

The sow held back a smirk at the pups, for she didn't want to offened them. She was very pleased to see Dazzler and Jade on her side; and she thought that later she could share some of her knowledge with them. But now her attention was turned to the other two brutes to reply. "I beg your pardon little ones, but I am most certainly welcome. Unless you would like to address the cougar that invited me here?" She stared defiantly back at Crucified, but held no anger or arrogance in her look or tone. Being over 600 pounds, she feared no pups. And indeed, she had little to fear from any wolf, unless they happened to be in a large group.

Crucified .+. Tyrant

Crucified's face contorted as the hybrids came up to him. He would easily wiegh 110 at max wieght. Though not nearly as much as his younger brother. Pale globes grew more harsh as he growled louder to the sow. "If you think for a minute, dirt bag, that -cougar- is not the lead of the land. He had no right to invite you into this realm. So once again i say it. LEAVE." Hair was now on ends, his tail was a bushy pine cone. Tyrant stood there, ready to nip at the other pups. He was only half his weight, 90, growing to be 180 would be one of the largest wolves in the world. His growls came low as he turned to the pups. "Lay off wimps."

Dazzler & Jade

Dazzler growled harshly. She would grow to be a giant no matter what. She was given help from all the breeds mixed into her. "You don't frighten me, low life. You should back off if you know what's good for ya!" she snarled out at him, fur standing on end, tiny pup fangs bared as much as they could be. "Since when are you the leader of the pack?" she then asked tauntingly, but her voice still held the sound of pure warning. She wasn't afraid of anything-- anyone-- and she wouldn't back down just because of a couple other pups thinking they wer obviously better than everyone else. Dazzler lowered her body to the ground, just daring Crucified to make one wrong move.

Jade stayed where she was, not fearing the other two either. She growled at Tyrant, ears pinned back as she watched him with suspicious eyes.

Crucified .+. Tyrant

Crucified glared down at Dazzler, Eyes locking with hers. And as they did so his growl soften, If only she could understand it was his total instinct to be a leader. And if this boar was to attack someone they could easily die. Plus, to him, prey and preditors should not live in the same land. He spoke soft but stern to her. "Back down, leave this business to me." His growls raged louder as he turned back to the pig, Eyes and body telling her to leave the land once again.

Tyrant turned to the pup, Jade, as she growled at him. He walked up to her and with a stiff back and growling teeth, he would not stay apart of this pack. Like his father Vicious, his instincts were to be alone. "Do not threaten me girl, you don't want to know my punishment."

Dazzler & Jade

"Well good luck. 'Cause you'll definitly need it! You honestly think you can take on something like that and not get a broken behind?" she said, still growling. Her ears pinned.

Jade, hearing Tyrant's words, raised to her feet, glaring at him straight in the eyes. "Well don't you threaten me, 'cause you won't get a chance to do anything if I do anything to you first." she said in a stern, comanding tone of voice.

Pheral

She narrowed her eyes, knowing that sooner or later she might just have to show her fighting side to earn a bit of respect around the place. "Listen here, pup, before you bring yourself a world of hurt." Pheral's words were aimed primarily at Crucified, though she glanced to the other youngster as well, "That cougar has far more authority then you, even if he's no alpha. And besides that, the law of the wild is that the strong and smart rule." She snorted indignantly, "As far as power, you're barking up the wrong tree if you think you can kill me with your fangs, for my own teeth are far greater than your own! Yet even if you were stronger than me, power is folly without experience or knowledge." She dug a hoof into the ground and lowered her head so that her snout almost touched the earth. Her four tusks glinted defiantly in the filtered sun, standing out brilliantly against her dark complextion.

Crucified .+. Tyrant .+. Risen

The natural leads eyes narrowed harder into slits. Nose wrinkled like a rasin. He didn't listen to the two stupid pups behind him as he glared head on to the animal. "You may be stronger than me, but what would your respect level be if you attack me, a pup?" A sly grin curled upon his gray lips. Creamy white body still bushy from anger. "I know that the cougars have more authority than I. But it is you who are on the spot, for you are being watched closer than we are. You are not trusted here, now I say it once again. LEAVE" Jaws opened and his lips constricted to make a slight 'O' The movement showed all his sharp puppy teeth. Eyes never unlocking from the Sow's

Tyrant turned and walked up to the pup that faced him. Surely he was huge, and he could probably take this pup down, especially with the help of his brother. Maybe even alone, But he was soon stopped by a very loud growl. He was not even amused by the sound, nor scared, Just aware and his growls subsidded.

Risen walked out of the bushes, her fathers gray coat and piercing yellow eyes glared at Tyrant, Though it was an awkward sight, since she was about only half the size of her older bothers. Only about 20-30 pounds at the moment, She strutted what little muscle and elegant mass infront of Tyrant, Eyes glared into his, and with a low demanding voice she growled to him. "Leave her alone, or you'll find yourself kicked out of this pack. What a wonderful suprise that would be." She gave what little humor she had with no following snicker. Eyes turned and glared to Jade, Her eyes were very sharp, terrifieingly Sharp. Her ears were back and she walked on, eyes staying fixed on the pup until she couldn't see her without turning her head. Eyes turned with an eerie slowness to Dazzler, then to Crucified and Pheral. Her front leg crossed over the other, Making her front feet look as one, Head was lowered showing her full thin head. Glaring at Pheral. "I am not comfortable with you here I'ther. But I'm not going to battle you to leave. I just warn you, you are on a thin hair here, you should find a pack of wild pigs, or offer to be the next dinner plate." Low voice was ghost like, Though she gave no growl. Waiting for the pigs responce.

Pheral

She was surprised at the appearance of another pup, but not by her attitude, "I've done nothing wrong. It is only your predjudice that makes me the bad guy, so I will not leave on those grounds. If Ice so changes his mind, then I will leave. But if you were smart," Pheral stopped a second to eye the three young ones, "Then you would have me stay. None of you know yet of my full potential, yet you are so rash to expell me simple because of my species. I am a meat-eater like yourselves, though plants also suit my appetite." The sow sighed lightly, wondering what could change their young minds into acceptance towards her. Maybe they would never accept her. But she would give it a shot, and so she added more to her little speach, her dark, glittering eyes focusing on Risen, "I'm sorry to make you uncomfortable, but then you've only seen me for a few moments. It isn't wise to judge a tree by its bark. And if you are so eager to cast me off as food, perhaps I can help you there? Have any of you thought enough to come up with any useful means for me living here? But don't hurt yourselves, I'll go ahead and give you an example." Pheral said, added her last words a bit contemptuously, for their needless anger and resentment didn't exactly make her respect them any. "You obviously see me as a food source, right? Then I'd image that those herbivores would see me as a fellow plant eater. I could be a distraction during a hunt. Which leads me to anther point... use me as bait against humans. I know your alpha is fond of their blood." She stopped now, curious of what they might say now, though she didn't give her hopes up. And that was just scratching the serface with her potential benefits to this pack.

Crucified .+. Tyrant .+. Risen

Crucified growled to his youngest sibling. Though non disrepected the other. They also woudln't lower themselvs to the other. He stared to Risen then looked to Pheral. Listening to the animals words. Risen nodded to the pig in agreement, she could be helpful, though Risen wasn't into human blood just yet. Though unknown to her, she would be one killer. As well as her brother Tyrant. Crucified had no intentions on killing humans. Risen began a low talk, not growling, but nothing that would make anyone hopes get high. "I understand the bait and distraction. But still, you shouldn't think yourself higher than us. And if you get some sort of desease, you are harmful to everyone in this pack. You make one wrong move, i'll make sure it's your last." Ah yes, the wonderful mono tone that could chill anyone's nerves. Crucified growled in frustrations at his sister's reply. "I still don't like the fact that she's in the land! Make her leave" He turned to her, ears flat body down ready to run and attack.

Tyrant sat there in his own little world. Watching his brother and sister, then Jade. Annoyance in his look, he growled and turned. Leaving the group.

Pheral

She was quite pleased that Risen seemed to relent. Nodding pleasantly, the sow replied, "I don't hold myself higher than anyone else, little one. Every creature has their own advantages and disadvantages, and I am in no place to think I am any better or worse than a wolf." She smiled a bit at the next bit of speech, "We are all equally liable for diseases. But there I may offer you and the pack more help. I've intimate knowledge of many illnesses and how to treat them." She almost raised an eye at the very last statement Risen made, but decided against saying anything about it. Afterall, Pheral didn't expect the youngster to suddenly trust in her or anything on their first meeting. The sow caught Crucified's stance and lowered her head, pointing her four tusks forward, "I'd think twice about taking me on. Unless you'd like a fire in your mouth and belly." Although anyone that bit her would find their mouth burning from the toxic plants she had rolled in earlier, those same toxins would enter her blood and give her a good burning as well. In short, she'd suffer just as much agony as her attackers, thought it was a better deal than getting killed.

Crucified .+. Risen

Risen growled to both her brother and the sow. "Settle down, or you both will be kicked out. You wouldn't want to alpha to see you any less than what you really are." Cold eyes turned to Crucified The growl was short for both of them, just enough to get a point across. "That goes for you too." She stood up and began to walk away, looking at Jade and Dazzler. She had smelt the toxins when the sow spoke of them. "Step away, or do not touch the pig, she is covered in poisons. I suggest you look for one of the nursing bitches." Turning she looked back to Crucified. "Brother, go tell mom that I am leaving for a bit. I shall return, someday." With that she turned and left. With her slow, set back gait.

Crucified growled and grumbled as his sister told him to stop. He did so, then barked to the pig. "Swine." And he turned to find his mother.

Dazzler & Jade

Dazzler ignored the other pups. They had no control over the pack whatsoever, and they were at a lower point than anyone else. Pups had no say so in a pack, at least as far as they had experience with it. Dazzler stood up and the pounded away, head and tail held high, not in a 'royal' way, but in a angry, frustrated way. Jade padded off after her and they were both soon gone in the underbrush.
