VINDARI

You can throw me like a boomerang.

The alabaster vixen trotted along the rim of the canyon, her icy blue eyes scanning for her brother while her nose sifted through scents. A most peculiar thing struck her as she cauaght the distinct scent of a certain wolf. A certain female wolf whom she didn't quite like. Furrowing her brow, she took the closest path down, carefully picking her way along the dangerously narrow path. When she reached the bottom, she let fly an abrupt call for her brother, there were things they needed to discuss, like the two new members for example.

I'll come back and beat you up.

Risen

She came in shortly after Vindari, though kept quiet until they reached the lands border. Risen took her own seperate path and whispered to the pups. "Alright pups, these are not my lands. But there is something I must tell you. When I was little, we did have dogs in our pack. Much like your own kind of dog. I believe you are decendants from our former pack member. I was just a pup when I saw the adolecent dog. I don't remember her name, but she may have been your granddam's mother. We are recruiting others we believe are related to our former pack. It was a darker pack, one that demanded respect and only lived with power. I wish to restore their way of life 10 fold. The strongest and most respected pack." She paused and looked around for Betrayal. Then for the alpha, she was lying her head off, but it was the only way to ensure the pups to stay in her pack. "For right now, we are in these packs until we find an abandoned pack land... or fight a lead for their land. " Bringing up her voice just incase the lead was listening. "But we will not threaten this land. We will leave when we are large enough, and gain a most promising area." She hissed, then howled for Betrayal and the lead. Totally ignoring Vindari's own howl. After her howl she spoke to the pups. "Our pack... The humans distroyed the pack and stole some members, but killed off most. That is the reason I am so willing to help you find your parents and distroy the humans who ruined your lives." She said in a belivable tone. Yes she would help them. But it was more for fun not revenge.

Chessa and Litharaz

Litharaz followed Risen quickly, keeping up with the minx relatively easily. He listened intently, after all Risen had promised him power, which had sealed the deal for Lith. But something did puzzle him as Risen went off on one. She might have known one of their family? My this was a small world. That however was brushed away as the words "power, strongest, respect" and other came out of Risens mouth. He was a bit miffed when she said these were not their lands, but the fact they were going to get a good pack-land when they were bigger was promising and Litharaz had no reason to doubt this.

Chessa simply followed and listened, not really wanting to be with Risen, but trusting her at the same time. She wondered where Vindari had gone, but did not voice this in fear of being rejected by Risen or angering the vixen. She just remained slient, just listening, just waiting, just watching. Infact she was just hoping.

Blazed

The monstrous caliph had settled himself along an outcropping of rocks, opposite the canyon-side path Vindari was traversing. His icy blue pools caught the blur of a white coat against the porous sand and limestone. His auds darted forward, drinking her rough call. Good, now he could get her thoughts on Trahir and Eleve. Funny, it seemed that Trahir had called Eleve another name Risen, when she apologized for her companions challenge. He was not quite that fond of Eleve or whatever her name was to begin with. She had challenged him for HIS canyon. Not only was home, it was a tactical choice, as there were only four main entrances and a rare few perilous paths down the side, two of which he and Vindari both often took. it was right for any fighting pack. Maybe that's why she wanted it... The more the ebony captain thought about, the more he didn't like it. Blazed is not a pleasant brute to deceive. He demanded respect of any he met, and to deceive was to disrespect, and to disrespect more often than not meant death, no matter the circumstances.

With the silence inexplicable to a male his stature and muscle, Blazed rose and literally leapt from ledge to ledge all the down to the bottom, reaching the flat ground in a matter of minutes. Blazed threw back his regal pate and released a song in reply to his sister's. She was to stay put, he was coming to her. Not far to his right he saw Eleve. Blazed would have questioned her of the seeming misnomer had she not been accompanied by two youngsters. With a classic once over trademark to any alpha, Blazed make quick notes of the situation. He came up from behind, so his cruising began before they could know he was coming up on them. Blazed did not feel as if Eleve was being as warm and kind to the pups as she could have, in fact, it looked to him quite awkward. . and untrue. He finished his study of the three unknowing subjects and picked up the pace, cutting through them, uttering a soft growl, accompanied by a piercing look to Eleve, for them to follow.

"We will meet with Vindari. Pass that onto Trahir, would you, Eleve? I want you to hear when my sister thinks."

Then to the pups, with a softened glance,

"Introductions will be made shortly."

First of all, Blazed wasn't going to waste his breath calling Trahir, Eleve could do it. Secondly, he stressed Eleve's name, looking to see if he got a rise out of her. After a long moment of silence, Blazed picked up his sister's scent nearing the top of a sandy bluff, they were not far now, in fact, she was just below. As soon as he crested the bluff, he saw Vindari's stark alabaster white coat standing out against the neutral browns, tans, and greens of his canyon.

Coming to a stop beside Vindari, Blazed looked expectantly with a manner of supreme authority at Eleve, wondering if Trahir would arrive at her companions summons. Then he glanced down to the two youngsters. Time to learn their story, as the alpha male assumed they were naught but a quick pick for the pack Trahir and Eleve were building.

"I am Blazed, alpha male of Toklat Canyon. This is my sister Vindari. In my canyon, my word it to be obeyed."

His statement was more for both audiences, and would have been more beneficial if Trahir were here. He did not quite approve of raising a pack within a pack, for fear of being undermined. So as long as they remained, they were naught but members lower than his omega, had he one, and he would punish them as he saw fit. That was the price for using his canyon as a stop along he way. Expectantly, the hunter looked at the canine babes, in search of their names and narrative. Once he thought they had gotten the point, he glanced at Vindari, silently asking her opinion. Little did he know she had had a run in with Eleve and the pups before.

Trahir

She stood atop a small ledge and her cool voice floated down to the male "That is all fine and well, mon ami, for we will not be staying much longer." With this being said she leaped off her ledge and landed next to Eleve a soft smile on her face. "I have found a place for us to stay. A place where we dont have to tip toe around the alpha and make his ego inflate to twice the size it should be." A grin passed over her face as she stared straight into the males eyes. She was committing suicide and she knew it. "Risen." She said softly. They were both alphas. She knew it. And she would damn well make sure Risen knew it as well. "Lets make sure we live up to our names mon ami." She said softly to her comrade. She turned her gaze to Vindari and a soft chuckle escaped her. "We have two now, chica." Now she was speaking in three different languages. English, spanish and french. It was hard to tell which she was most fluent in or which she had come from. But now she said softly "We have a choice. To reside in Abamochos land or in Eternals lands. She...Is currently keeping homes for the darkest of the dark. But they are against Aaka." She knew Blazed was against Aaka for the male had had a run in with Eternal. Or maybe that was Danger. Ah forget it. What would he care? Silently she waited for Risens reply. But just as suddenly she said "Oh and Blazed. Call me Hidden Betrayal." A sinister grin passed over her face as she stood, tense and ready for either an attack or Risen to scream and yell at her.

Risen

Chrome dove turned a decietful eye to the alpha Blazed, holding her stance even with Betrayal, for now. Then her head tucked now with fur bristling, " I have claimed the Ruins, For now I will fight for it." She called then turned to the two pups. "Stay here not, these two will harm you. They will be tie you down so you can accomplish your goals. The goal to find you parents... To get revenge on your parent's captors. Now come... We must leave" Her pelt still held high in anger as ivories shown bright. "Thank you Blazed, for the lovely stay. As I promised, I shall not harm you, nor your pack. As long as you let us leave in peace. Attack us.. And it will be your own downfall." She turned her voulnerable back to Blazed and Vindari, nodding to Betrayal to follow. "Come on children." she called back to the pups.

Unknown to Blazed and Vindari, she was being considerably kind to the pups.. in her own eyes... at least they weren't dead.. and she had no intent to kill them...If they didn't turn into traitors. She would discuss her rules, until then, the pups were to be simple members... Well Lith would... However soon he would be taught to be heartless.... To kill and not be able to care less. All in due time, She would start training killing machines.

She whispered to Betrayal. "Find evil members, if not, pups... the younger, the better... Brainwashing a child is most simple." She made sure her voice was quite.. unrecognizable to the pups. They wouldn't be able to hear her,soon she was out of the lands. Leading the rest to the Ruins.

Blazed

The alpha's fur stood on end as all was revealed. The tug on his conscience when he first met Risen and Betrayal had proved to be true. How could he have paid so little mind to such warnings? Blazed released a deep foreboding rumble after Betrayal and Risen explained themselves. He should have suspected as much. Better they leave now that later with a larger pack that posed a greater threat. The caliph snarled disdainfully as they turned their backs to leave. He quelled the anger and frustration rising inside of him and left them to themselves. No need to bother with them anymore, they made their choice.
