Incalia & Onslaught

Onslaught ate about the same amount as Ghoul, roughly 10% of the meat. With his belly full to bursting, the pup followed his brother, seeking out his mother. What he saw was a blood-coated hybrid, injured but radiating pride and arrogance. Nudging Ghoul, Onslaught turned and padded for Incalia, his tail wagging gently. He was angry, and slightly upset at the wounds his mother had, A half torn ear and a gored shoulder. As he neared her, he could smell the blood, but it didn't put him off after eating meat for the first time. He smiled, weaving beneath his mothers legs as she finished off eating her 20% of the carcass.

Incalia lifted her head, licking his muzzle as she ate as much as she could. She grinned down at Onslaught, Hello son, Have fun with Ynear while I was gone?

Onslaught came out from beneath Incalia, bouncing up beside Ghoul, No, but we did make a gang Mom! It's me, Ghoul and Dulsca's cubs, Martimoor, Xuvan, Litle Tuft and Leopeson. We already kicked Toxin's butt! The pup directed his mothers attention to the various subjects of the conversation.

Incalia smirked, Ah, sounds like your already pretty strong then if she's older than you! The mother then turned her warm, dark eyes on Ghoul. How about you, Have fun? The mother really wanted to take them out hunting, but her duties came first, she would make sure she did it though when she had a spare moment.

Toxin

Toxin lightly nuzzled Penny, then she raised her head to look at Tyrant. Those eyes, so cold and chilling even for her young self. Mr...Sir. She had never gotten his name. Could...Could I take Penny for a walk? Just around here? You can send someone with us if you like. She wanted to prove to the bird the life wasn't so bad, that she shouldn't worry. That everything would go on as it had before.

Amnesia ate as well, but not very much. He hadn't helped kill it, and he had already eaten. As Malicious winked at him he gave a cocky grin back then stood and backed away from the deer to lay beneath a tree, his eyes taking in everyone and everything. Such bustling!

Hostage continued to stare at Nymph, then his eyes turned back to look for his sister. Snowfall, she was so gentle, so sweet. The male sighed softly. Maybe if they were with their parents, her real sweet side would come through. But for now, she'd have to learn to be dark. Like he was. He could feel it inside of him, felt a burning in him that nothing else but darkness could explain.

Nymph

After she finished her portion, Nymph took to grooming herself all over, even reaching her long tongue back and around to the places that had not even touched the meat, like the backs of her ears and her rear paws. Finally satisfied that she was clean, she turned those silvery eyes to Hostage, smiling a little, voice soft. Well, greetings, little Hostage. Did you enjoy your food?

Aurinka

Aurinka didn't stop crying. She watched everything go on around her. "Liekki come BACK!" She shouted. She sat in a far corner and curled up, afraid to speak to any of her fellow Haunters.

Malicious * Snowfall

Malicious finished her meat portion, not knowing how much, and found her friend, Amnesia. She trotted over to him and lay down. "Hello, friend. Mind if I sit here?" She wasn't going to move even if he did mind.

Snowfall did not notice her brother was gone until she'd finished her own meat. She pulled her bloodied head up and searched for him. "Hostage," she squeaked, "Where are you?" Snowfall searched the room, finding him with Nymph. She skittered over as fast as she could, running into the cat accidently. "Sorry." She squeezed between cat and sibling, a bit scared of all the Haunters.

Penny

Penny watched Toxin speak to Tyrant. These wolves were nicer than she thought. They weren't bad at all. Still, she'd rather not ally herself to them. She opposed them, even though she was being held in their temple. She almost didn't want to get revenge. But at the same time, she did not like them. They almost killed her. I'll avoid them all my life. She thought.

Bandit

The tan pup had felt like staying away from all activity, save eating. He had stuffed himself as he should, and soon enough the deer were finished or cached. He spotted his brothers and mother and slunk towards them, shooting a deadly glare to each sibling in turn before flopping onto his stomach, looking around. It seemed Ghoul and Onslaught always wanted to prove themselves better than the others by strength than cunning. He considered telling them this, soon deciding against it. Knowing them, they'd just attack. [[Cue stifling back a sigh.]] Bandit flicked an ear, glancing at the bird whom all the pups and cats had plotted against. What a waste, but it was good practice, which sadly, he had not joined in on. He itched to fight, but held back. Ghoul and Onslaught had proven him many a time they were stronger than he, always fighting each other, when he sat off. Only once in a while did he manage to take one down, but he considered this not enough. Bandit decided to start being more like them, demanding and deadly, but for now, the mind was his greatest factor.

Nymph

Nymph smiled softly as Snowfall rammed her. With her bulk, she barely even felt the collision. Seeing how frightened she was, Nymph bent down and began to wash her, much as she would have done to a kitten, purring as she did so. Poor thing, she would have to get used to all these scary adults.

Aurinka

Aurinka had stopped crying by now, but she still stayed in her corner. She kept her eyes on the doorway, waiting for her mother and brother to return. For once, she wanted to play with the other pups. But she was too shy. She howled a lonely howl before standing up.

Snowfall

Snowfall cuddled next to the friendly cat. She was comforting and Snowfall would probably not leave her side. She whimpered softly, not wishing to turn evil like most of the others.

Risen .+. Others

With full bellies the alpha stood up. Walking into the middle of the temple and helping a selected few clear out the remain of the deer to store for later. Now she stood in the middle and barked for the attention. "You're pups seem to be getting older now." She eyed them, "They should take up training. As well as getting this pack further into order."

She took a seat and looked around. Eye narrowed as she hissed. "We each have a roll in the Haunters, that is what makes us so different. There are seven rolls, seven catigories To be placed in. Those rolls are: A Warrior, A Guard, A Stratigist, A Converter, A Messanger, A Mother, and A Healer." She looked around with the devils own grin tugging at her lips, walking around now and staring at both adults and cubs alike. Ghoul puffed up his chest, Iota lifted her head as well. Ynear kept her head low. "The majority of you all are Warriors. Warriors are the strongest of our pack. Those who can take down plenty with strength alone. Adult Warriors are those who are in the divisions." Soon she began to call out the adult Warriors names, and placed them in a corner.

Rasheetah, Silver Trace, Shattered, Razor, and Wither moved to the designated area for the Warriors.

After the Warriors were settled Risen moved back around, "Guards will be those with strong bulk, but slow in speed and poor with one scence. The Reptiles in Dima's temple are the guards.. for now. As well as our loyal Allies, The Assassins." The three assassins bowed thier heads but made no noise.

After the curtsy the alpha continued her pace. " Stratigists are the smartest of the smart. Those who will help decide the best way to attack an enemy." She started with their names now, moving them into the corner adjacent to the Warriors. Then oppened her mouth once again once that group was done. "Converters... They are as simple as the name. Inform others that our pack isn't as bad as the world makes us seem." She grinned. "Let them know we are for protection. And much more, convince them otherwise of what they believe." She hissed and pointed into the corner opposite of the Warriors.

Villain moved slowly with an insane grin on his face. Sitting and watching as others approached.

"Messangers! Are those with good memory and fast moving gaits. Fliers are good messangers but when weather is to harsh for the winged beings, Land animals must go." She began as well picking and choosing who went into the last remaining corner. Sacrifice gave an accepting smile and floated there with ease.

"Mothers! Mothers are to care for the Warriors babies. I am duely sorry to say, but without my permission you are not allowed to breed." Her voice soon turned to a growl. "There are many family members here, I will NOT tolerate inbreeding. Warriors are the strongest and throw the most veriety of pups. They will easily be accepted for breeding, none the less will have to confront me or Cavan, the others will be harder to become true parents." Her voice grew softer now. "Do not weep, it is to keep the world cleansed and strong. By staying without pups true pups you will offer greatness to your pack. You can help raise those pups around you. Warrior's may live just to die in battle but once handicaped and/or finished with your line of work, you may retire as a Mother. Yes, males may become part of this group as Fathers, but They will be very rare." She glanced around at some of the weaker males. Sitting in the middle she barked for the Mothers to stand to one side of her. Ynear slowly moved in and settled near watching the group around.

"The last, but truely not the least, are the Healers! They are intelligent and brave. And will have to deal with all of you. They will be the ones to nurse our injured and, yes, poison our foes. If you are out numbered and death is a promise, would you still fight?" She growled at the ones who opposed the poisons. "It is strategy not cheating. Cheating is where something immortal happens.. Where you can never die until your oppenent is dead. We are simply inhancing our chances of survival. Now, those who are intelligent and brave; healers step up" She barked for them to get to her other side. Eyes quickly looking at Quilikahm.

As the Healers moved in and all that were left were the pups. She ordered them to get into a group. Without hesitation, even though his reunion with his mother was short lived, Ghoul moved where instructed. Iota followed suit as well. Hazard and Temptation moved in but were dismissed to settle with the mothers. "Children you are to young." She said softly, then waited for the older children to come up.

Tyrant spoke softly to Toxin, "We will take her, Me and you, for a walk after this meeting, now go, Risen has requested to see all pups."

After all the pups had gathered, Risen started to sift through and chose who went where. Warriors to Warriors, Mothers to Mothers, etc.

Ghoul was placed in the Warriors, he felt it fit. Iota, as well, was placed with the Warriors. She was head strong and caring, ready to defend her fellow friends. Even if it ment her half brothers. She growled to them but turned to see who else was coming. Oh how she hoped Toxin would be picked, if not, she guessed she could live.

Aurinka

Aurinka lifted her head, tears still covering her face. She had only heard some of the speech. But she heard that she was too young. Says who? She can't fight. She's too weak. But she was smart. She hoped that Risen selected her as a healer when she was old enough. She looked at Iota. Her and Liekki would probably be Warriors, she thought. After Liekki's little 'episode.' She stepped into the group and sat down next to Iota. She lifted her head to her sister's ear and whispered, "What do you want to be? I want to be a healer." She looked around, not seeing her mother and brother. "Did you hear that Liekki ran away? Mom went after him. I hope they're okay." She heard Risen call Tahti's name. "Mom's a Converter." She said quietly, talking her little head off.

Risen

Iota smiled to her sister, as her name was called she gave one last lick before venturing over to the Warriors. Risen called out Aurinka's name for the healers. Motioning to head near Quil by her side.

Aurinka

Aurinka nodded and moved to the strange deer's side. She looked up at Quil with her tail between her legs. "H-Hello." She said shyly. "I'm a healer, too." She then continued watching the doorway, waiting for any sign of her mother and brother.

Minzo/Rosuto/Aurinka

Minzo watched as Aurinka cried, but did nothing to help her. He listened to Risen's speech, but his name was not mentioned because he was not a Haunter. He was neutral. Normally, he would be against the Haunters. But he would hate to have to hurt his sister and her family. So he remained neutral. He watched Aurinka speak to her sister, and he watched the two go to their own places.

"Now I feel like a jerk." Said Rosuto. "We should have helped Tahti's family!" He kept his voice low enough for only Minzo to hear.

"Well..." Minzo whispered. "We should get out of here. We really shouldn't be here. We're not allied to these creatures. We're by ourselves, remember?" He wagged his tail happily.

Aurinka saw her uncles in the corner of her eye. She turned her head to look at them. They looked so...suspicious. "What are you doing?" She hollered.

"We're just...speaking. Speaking about how...happy we are that you get to be a Healer!" Replied Minzo.

Rosuto rolled his eyes. "She'll never fall for that one, genius." He said. "Okay. Never mind. She's not too bright, but have you heard her sister? She's almost smarter than Tahti! Of course, Liekki and Iota are Warriors, so they're probably more brawn than brain. But still, the older sister's the smartest of Tahti's children."

"Haha. Yeah right. The skinny one's smarter. Why do you think she'd be chosen as a Healer? 'Cause she knows her stuff!" Laughed Minzo.

Rosuto growled. "You don't want to argue with me, boy." He said aggressively. "I'm telling you, Iota is the smarter one! She takes after Dad!"

"Fine, you win. But as soon as Tahti gets back, we're out of here!" Said Minzo, a bit too loud.

Toxin

Toxins eyes lit up with joy at Tyrants words, and she scooted forward so that Penny could get on her back. She'd have to walk slow, but the females trot was like a glide with her wolf and shepherd ancestors. When she heard Risen, she stood and with Penny on or off her back, waited as she debated on where to go. With Iota? Or....Something else. Raising her chin, the female trotted forth, heading to Iota and the other warriors. Who could fight a bunch of lion and wolf cubs, if not her?

Amnesia sat down as he heard the speech, and the large male shrugged his shoulders. He could go anywhere, but with his dark mind and evil hatred, a converter is what he would be. So he stood and moved to his appointed area, sitting down silently. He'd make a hell of a warrior, yes, but he wasn't about fighting all the time. Just most of it. And his brain, ah his brain worked way to much to be put as a warrior.

Kaiya

Kaiya stood, and silently began to find her way through the maze of rooms until she came out into the open. She moved by sound, and as she scent Toxin, she nodded but continued on. She would not make a good warrior, but her friend would. Past the healers, she gave a shy smile to Aurinka then continued on until she finally came to the Mothers. Her smile was gentle as she stared straight past Ynear, then sat down to look upon the others.

Sil's eyes flamed for a moment at Risens words, but she said nothing and trotted towards her mother, but the wolfess merely stepped over her pups and moved to her designated area. Converter. Healer? Ha, what a riot. She'd end up poisoning everyone no the opposing team just because she knew how. But, her web of lies would be a great one, for that was who she was. A liar.

Belial watched as his mother left them, and darkly he narrowed his eyes. Traitor.... He thought silently to himself. This was to be another of Kage's dark and hating litter, for that was what Sil and Belial were. Silent haters. The brother stood and moved towards his other brother and sister after giving Silhouette a sharp nip, then sat down his eyes on the mothes. So who was to be his now?

Hostage

Hostage nuzzled his sister, then he stood and came a bit closer to Risen and the others, but he joined no one yet. His eyes took in all of the groups, and narrowed as he watched them all. To Toxin and her group, to Ynear and hers. To Risen, then to Kaiya. He nodded his head and turned around, heading back to Nymph whom he had deemed his new mother. I'm going to be a warrior some day, and I'll prove them all wrong. He could pass for it already, his body was thick and muscular, and he would grow big and strong. The largest of his litter he was, and a deadly being he would be. Soon, so soon.

Penny

Penny eased herself up onto Toxin's back, squinting her eyes in pain. She groaned as the canine walked, even though her walk seemed so smooth. She felt ashamed to be depending on another. But it was the only chance she had. "Thank you." She said softly to Toxin and Tyrant.

Incalia & Onslaught

Ghoul didn't have a chance to reply as Risen announced a new system. Immediately, Incalia padded towards the warriors, muscles rippling, already bearing multiple battle scars.

Onslaught followed his mother, head high as he came alongside Ghoul. Hopefully the rest of the coalition would join them, they would be an unstoppable force when they matured into adulthood.

Snowfall

Snowfall stood and followed her brother. "Hostage, we're too young," she whispered softly into his ear. Nevertheless, she stood beside him, ready to back him up.

Bandit

As Risen came forth, he stood and watched, listening carefully. Her announcement was not unsuspecting, it should have come sooner or later. He glanced to his brothers, strong and already knowing the Warriors they were, as well as his defiant mother. He listened to the rest of the thoughts and choices, his auds drooping. Strategists... The ones with the smarts. And Warriors, the brawn. He badly wanted to join his brothers, but he knew he wasn't quite as strong as them, and not as much a warrior. He realized he had started to pad to the warriors and stopped, throwing his look to the strategists gathering. Bandit gazed at his mother. Would she be disappointed? Would he be shunned from his family because of himself?
The tan pup gave in. He knew where he belonged. His pads carried him to the Strategists, watching his family.

Hostage

Hostage turned his puppy blue eyes to his sister, then gave her a smile as dark as the devils own. Someday soon, Snowfall. Someday soon. Then he lightly nudged her back towards Nymph. He didn't like all the other larger pups around his sister, or him for that matter but Snowfall, she came first. She always would

Nymph

She watched as the pups seemed to divide themselves into what tasks they wanted, shaking her head a little. So in a hurry to be grown... But then Hostage nudged Snowfall back toward her, and she spoke softly, letting that soothing purr set into her voice. Fear not, little one. In any case, your brother will not be allowed to become a warrior until he is able to defend himself properly. No serious harm will come to him, dear. I promise. And she uncurled a bit, making a place for both pups to come and relax in the warmth of her embrace. She had given Camarin her word that she would see to their welfare, that she would care for Hostage and Snowfall as though they were her own. She meant to keep that promise.

Snowfall

Snowfall was startled and a little scared of her brother's smile. She stumbled back to Nymph and curled up tight. Was she ever going to be a true Haunter?
