Ireshk

He was doing the right thing! He was protecting his family, and the pups from the evil that lurked outside of the Ruins. The enemies had shown him no ounce of remorse; they had taunted and mocked him, even when he was crippled and helpless. That was more than enough to confirm that Nachi was right, and that they were the evil ones. But... now what?

Ireshk could feel a slight tingling in his hind limbs, but even that was beginning to fade. He could not move the limbs at all, and when ever he tried to move at all, a horrible pain vaulted down his back to the place where Wasteland had broken in. Whimpering in terror of what would happen to him now, the partially paralyzed wolf rested his head on his paws and waited for his fate.

Vision

She came racing into the Ruins at high speed, then halted when she reached the area. She saw Ireshk, but no one else. She looked about, seeking anyone, and when there was none she came forward. There were tears in her eyes, for what she was about to do was inexcusable. But duty was duty. I'm sorry, my friend, but you must die now. I need your blood. She was going to see if she could have him live through this, though. His blood was upon the ground, and the female rolled upon it for it was not yet dry. Then she bit at Ireshk, at his already open wound to see if more blood would be released.

Ireshk

If his eyes weren't wide in fear already, they certainly were now. His breathing quickened and his heart thumped frantically in his chest. It was like those nightmares where you're being chased, but can run away quick enough. Just like that, except it was real, and he couldn't ran at all. "Oh please, please no!" He whimpered out in a choked, sobbing voice, horror and agony in his young eyes. Ireshk scrambled helplessly at the ground with his front legs, but his back end was dead weight and he couldn't move himself more than a few inches. "NOOO!!! STOP, PLEASE!" He wailed out as she bit into his open wound. Yelping and crying out in a pitious tone, he could do little as she shed more of his precious blood on the ground.

Tahti

Tahti was only a Coyote. She knew she may not be able to drag a wolf back into the Temple. The only information she had was that a Haunter was injured. It was then that she heard the yelp. It took a while, but she finally found them. One eye was closed - the one that Kalaber ruined. She snarled like a rabid dog, snapping at Vision. She didn't even notice that her children were missing. She was losing more of her sanity each day.

Aurinka

Aurinka slowly came back to the Ruins, dragging her brother's dead body. She soon found her mother, Vision, and the Haunter. She looked at Vision, tears streaming down her face. "A tiger killed Liekki!" She cried, then looked at Tahti. "I'm sorry, Mom. I tried to help, but...I couldn't. I-I have to tell Iota."

Vision

As his blood coated her body, she stopped. Hush now, young one. She murmered. Then Tahti arrived. Hey...Back off.... Not a fighter, no she wasn't but then Tahti gave her a good open wound on her shoulder. With a yelp, she leapt back. She wouldn't fight. No, she wouldn't fight.

Ireshk

Pain began to lose its hold on the yearling, and the voices of the others sounded more like distant, mumbled whisperings. Each breath grew fainter and lighter, until his head felt like it were in the clouds. Shock was settling in on Ireshk, until he could hardly feel the pain any more. Dazedly, he heard Vision talk to him, but he was too out of it to reply back at this point. Eyes fluttering, the wolf let his head rest against the stone. He was no longer in control of what happened to him at this point.

Tahti/Aurinka

Tahti growled at Vision, then looked at her daughter. Her eyes grew wide. Her only son was murdered. "There is nothing any of us can do now. You must not disturb your sister. Risen and many others are with her. I will protect you, but you are a traitor to the Haunters and must not be seen by Risen." She looked down at Ireshk. ">B?And you will not tell anybody of this. Got it?" She then lifted her head to look at Vision again. "Leave, before I call Vicious."

Risen .+. Others

The plan had been a failed attempt as the humans fence prevented their entry. From this, Risen knew she had been gone to long and must return. It wasn't until the smell of blood hit her nose as well as the uneasy movement in the temple.

Eyes narrowed around until she spotted the group with Vision... Tresspasser. Growling angerly she charged forward to the group. Hackles raised with quivering snarls. She rounded upon the group, followed by Sacrifice and Silver Trace. Her eyes caught Ireshk and she turned to Silver. "Take him to the healers..." Her eyes then narrowed on Tahti.

"Who is this? Why are they covered in Ireshk's blood?" Eyes then locked onto Vision and she took a step toward the female. Mouth quivering open as if to prepare to slowly suck the life from the wench. "Give me one good reason not to kill you." She snarled deep in her throat. Foam gently siding her mouth as her stance stiffened in anger.

Silver Trace quickly ran to Ireshk's side and barked to Sacrifice. The two faced female helped and into the temple they brought the fallen comrade.

As the two left, Two more came up to place. Razor and Wither. "The rest of you go to the temple and make sure everyone is alright." Demanded the lead.

Tahti

The young Coywolf had escaped just in time. She would have to speak to her sister later, when it's safe. Tahti looked at Risen. "A tiger killed my son." She said quietly. "Just thought I'd let you know, in case it strikes again." She then bowed and went into the Temple. She did not know that this tiger was once a Haunter, for Aurinka did not say that much about the beast.

Vision

Her eyes went frantic as Risen and others arrived. Damn it! They had come back to soon....In a cool and collected voice, she said to Risen And whose to say its his blood? I arrived and found him like that. Now see, there was something very familiar about the female with her white dragons down her sides. Something...Very familiar. Betrayal. Maybe the others wouldn't see it, for she looked only like Betrayal in body size, and weight. But it was in some of her habits as well. Like how her eyes would go deadly cold when she was cornered and angry, or how she would laugh with a musical note in her voice.

Risen .+. Razor .+. Wither

Risen's hackles rose to their fullest as the trespasser asked her idiotic questions. "The blood smells like him! That is how I know it is his. Plus your kind are not here to help. You did this to him and you shall pay for your actions." anger overflowed, she snarled than lashed a punishing bite to the feas snout. Trespassing would not be tolerated, especially those who were covered in blood of her pack.

Wither and Razor took to their work. Wither snapped at Vision's front leg while Razor snapped harshly at her hind end. Trying to tear skin where he could. She would pay for what they believed. She was on their turf, their rules, and she was not one of them and in no way here to help.

Vision * Elemental

Watch it, little Girl. Wouldn't want you to get hurt. The voice came from behind Risen, and her eyes. Those....Bright eyes. Look alikes. They were all Betrayals look alikes, only different colors. Elementals lips were turned in a sneer as she glared at Risen. I think its high time you paid for what you've done, Risen.

Vision had leapt back to avoid Risens bite, but in doing so har gotten caught by Razor. With a yelp of pain, she turned to set her fangs upon him but Vision was no fighter. I didn't do anything! She whimpered. Elementals eyes glowed brighter. Make them back off before the rest of them arrive. The pack. Her pack. She was ready to kill, ready to feel Risen pay for what she had done.

Risen .+. Wither .+. Razor

As Razor got his hold he began a sharp jerk with his fangs. Wither moved up for a second grab now that her half brother had the enemy. But her motions ceased at the sound of Elemenatls voice. Turning around Wither was the first to face her. Risen only paused and trembled in her fury.

The brute held his hold growling at Vision. "You have injured one of our brothers... You have..." "Hush Razor!" Risens growling voice sneered within her throat. Her head was low, eyes quivering, but none could see for she was ready to tear the earth apart and let these two scum fall to Hell. Her head low, tail raised up and bristled like a christmas tree. "Who are you? And who is them? And do you think I shall fall easily?" Her words, low, creeping from her mouth as a foggy plague released upon the earth.

Her lungs blew out, creating a puff of dirt beneath her to explode into a cloud. Slowly lifting her head, teeth bared and eyes straining, ears foward as she snarled at Vision. Her eyes bore into the fea. Tongue licking her hungry lips, she hollard a low growl through shivering jaws.

Turning to Elemental only cause the fea to worsten. Jaws opened wide revealing all her teeth as her eyes began to roll back. "How dare you stand to me. Fool." She growled, head high, jaws down, her body snaking. Every fur on her was on end.

Wither stood, all fur risen up. She looked just like her father now with her fur on end. Those dull eyes looking into her opponents. Razor held onto Vision, not letting her go.

Elemental

Her eyes seemed to take on a glow, those hauntingly blue eyes. And what of our Sister, Risen? Or have you already forgotten about Betrayal. Elementals fur was standing on end, so bright was her gaze it looked as if it would set her on fire. We are the Ancient Guardians. They Are my pack. I am Elemental. Let go of my sister, Risen, before you find yourself at the wrong end of my fangs. Vision could barely breathe. Elemental... She began. Shut up, Vision! She deserves to pay. Her and her pitiful pack. A low groan was given from the smaller sister. This could only end badly.

Risen

The wolfess growled deeply once again at her dead rivals name. "Betrayal was a traitor!" She began moving a quivering step forward toward the opposing femme. When the fea spoke of these 'Ancient Guardians' she could only laugh out loud. "HAHA, Ancient Guardians? Is that what they are called? They sound like a bunch of geezers come to discipline their great grand pups. Tell me, Are they for war and suffering? Are they for Destruction?!" She snarled deeply. "If you keep your old ways the fighting will never stop, Will it?" Risen had not received news that Liekki was dead yet. He had went out while they were gone. Trying to become a Guardian with his sister, but was slain by one of the Guardians themselves.

"War has been waged many a-time in this land, I see not how your group will help. You collect all those who have faughten once before and have them together. Your pack is but a living time bomb that will implode upon itself!" She snarled then shook her head. Wither growled "Get out of our lands now and you will not have to die today."

Risen snarled, stepping forward once again, jaws open and ready to give of receive and attack from Elemental.
