Risen

Risen came into the temple, growling under her hackled body. She did not like the tone Elemental had taken with her If not for Wither the two of them would have been destroyed. Or, she would have made sure to destroy the both of them.

Instead Risen came to the center of the temple, looking around and growling for the other's attention "We have a foe, a foe's who force is growing in numbers. They want us all dead. We have to expand our forces. Our last attempt failed..." Her lips curled up in dark amusement. "And the mothers have run out of children to care for. We must set our lines into motion. I need the following to come here: Wither, Incalia, Monarda, Kaos, Tersek, and Razor. Please. Come join me." Fire's ablazed in her eyes as she watched for the group to come up. Razor stood and moved toward the female, then sat down just in front of her. From the darkness came a somewhat bloody Wither, she had gotten in the way of the enemy to save the Haunters. Risen would have started the fight with Elemental then and there. And they had not the chance to fight against them. Wither took the blow from her alphess, but quickly made her way to the middle for her own work.

Risen awaited the others to follow suit.

Kane

Kane was like a shadow as he slunk through the doorway. His dull gray eyes surveyed the area before he strode forward. This place would suit him very well. He advanced toward Risen, showing submissive postures. He bowed his head and began to speak. "You must be the Alpha of the Shadow Haunters." He said, a smile spread across his face. "I hope this is not a bad time. I would like to join your Army." His tail was between his legs and his head was low, showing that he knew Risen was the boss.

Incalia

Still in a bad mood, Incalia stood and made her way over to Risen with fur bristled and hackles raised a little. When Kane entered and began to cower, she snorted and flashed her fangs at him. "Well acting like a coward isn't the best way to start."

Passing him, she stood in front of Risen, and the fact that she was twice the alphess' high still amused her greatly. Of course she would never say anything about it, for Risen was not one to be messed with. No one from the Shadow Haunters were to be messed with, unless you wished to loose your life.

Kane/Tahti

Kane bared his own fangs at Incalia. "I see you're not the brightest bulb of the bunch, little girl, for everyone with common sense knows that you don't walk up to an alpha like you own the place." He informed, raising his head high. He looked back at Risen and awaited her answer.

Tahti walked past Kane, giving him an odd look. "She she-wolf is right, stranger. Things are done differently here." She growled. Standing in front of Risen, she tilted her head. "I wish that the tiger who killed my son be executed." She said, but this was all she had to say for now.

Incalia

Now snarling herself, Incalia spun round, eyes flashing wildly. "And that's not how you speak to your supiriors! I don't own the place, hence why I show my respect to Her Lady Risen. I know for a fact you don't stand a chance against me, so hold your tongue before I tear it out."

The powerful hybrid bared her fangs, muscles bulging and fur bristled. Her hackles were up; It was obvious she was not in a good mood. At all.

Kane/Tahti

Kane growled and stepped closer to Incalia. "I wouldn't normally pick a fight with a weakling, but I'll make an exception today." He growled. "You cannot win against me. Try me. I dare you." His fangs were still bared, showing he was not joking.

Tahti growled at Kane. "Stop, fool. You're going to teach my children how to be a cocky jerk." She snarled.

Incalia

A vicious roar tore through the temple, as Incalia finally snapped. "Oh, I dare alright, you pathetic worm!" With her gums pulled back to reveal a full set of blood-crusted fangs that had taken 3 lives already, Incalia tucked her neck and puffed out her black and tan fur. With her eyes flashing with an intense fire, she threw herself at Kane, aiming to knock him over and close her jaws around his neck bellowing a terrifing snarl.

Kane/Tahti

Kane laughed and jumped out of the way. "I thought you guys were supposed to be good fighters!" He snapped, lunging at her throat.

Tahti snarled at the newcomer. "This is not the way things happen around here, black wolf." She growled. "I will not be sorry if Incalia kills you for being an ignorant jerk."

Incalia

The hybrid landed quickly as she missed her target, his mocking words giving her enough time to recover and dodge his attack. "I wouldn't be a Shadow Haunter division leader if I wasn't! This certainly isn't the way to get accepted! Loyalty runs strong through this pack's foundations, the last wolf to betray us died a painful death at the jaws of this pack!" She began to circle him, watching for any weaknesses, whilst staying well aware of what Kane was doing. Tahti's comment made her grin, a sinister, malicious grin, with fangs dripping saliva bared savagely. Her eyes narrowed as she once again lept forward and in a lightning fast move aimed to dip down below him and launch her jaws upwards towards his throat.

Kane/Tahti

Kane was too slow to dodge this one. His throat was caught in Incalia's jaws.

Tahti smirked that evil smirk of hers. She had a plan. It wasn't as good as any other plan, but it may work for the dim-witted newcomer. She moved closer to Incalia. "I believe I have a 'surprise' for the dim one." She whispered. "How about Dima?" She knew that the reptiles could easily teach Kane a lesson.

Incalia

The hybrid locked her jaws and bit down hard once she seized Kane's throat. Blood began to ooze around her jaws and down her chest, much to her delight. "Pray to the Gods, pup, for your life is mine to end should I choose it. The name's Incalia, and it would do you good to remember it."

Tahti's plan made her eyes flash with sinister glee. "Ah, an excellent idea, though I think Risen has a choice as to whether I can decide his fate or not." She muttered through clenched jaws, her eyes meeting Risen's as she waited for an order.

Risen

Risen growled deeply as the quick paced battle raged on before her. She said nothing as Incalia quickly took hold of the males neck and held tight. Had he gotten there before Elemental's intrusion, he would have been accepted more easily. But snakes run along even beaten paths just to get a meal. She felt as if this wolf may have been trying to intrude upon them to catch them by suprise. "You show fearful respect for me but as soon as someone of high status comes along, you wish to challenge their athority. Incalia has been here for a long time, you should not go jumping into battle with her so soon." Her lips curled back and she growled. "These are dark times for the valley, our every move is being calculated by our opponents and you waltz in here as if you have an angel guarding you. Seems a little suspicious if I must say, tell me boy, what is you name and true purpose of invading the home of the Shadow Haunters? Do you want to be apart of this pack, or are you the spy from our other side." She snarled, giving the sign for Incalia to keep her hold. They would not feed him to the crocs just yet. If he could take this punishment and was sincere about his union he may stay.

Sacrifice looked over to her alphess, seeing the tension in the fea. Never had she seen Risen so on guard with one simple intruder in the midst of all the haunters. Risen was taking no chances, there was true threat outside their walls, one wrong move would mean the fatality for the whole Haunters pack.

Kane/Tahti

Kane yelped when the pain grew stronger. "Fine! I'm sorry!" He cried. "It's my fault. I'll take the punishment!" He clenched his teeth together to avoid crying like a baby. "I really do want to join this pack." He was a strong wolf, but he was easy to break.

Tahti sat down and watched the foolish creature. She glared at Kane intimidatingly, but said nothing. This was not her battle.

Incalia

With Risen's command, Incalia's jaws locked in place, continually squeezing blood from his neck. A smirk of satisfaction appeared as he cracked but she too couldn't help but feel a little bit suspitious; even more so when she heard Litharaz calling Risen because there was someone else who wanted to join. Her eyes narrowed, and she looked to her alphess, seeking orders, but not letting any sort of release of her grip on Kane.

Risen

Risen watched the brute and nodded as he agreed to take the punishment without hesitation. "You still have failed to give us your name." The calling of Lith had caught her ears and she turned with a slight growl. Were the two together, she doubted. She wasn't sure though. "Incalia release him; you are in charge of watching him. Brute, if you leave the sight of Incalia for more than a minute for the next week, it gives us rights to believe you are against us." She stared to him then looked to Incalia. "You may assign one more to look after him as well if you wish not to hold the full burden upon yourself. I should not act so against new comers when we need them most. But we can't be to lax with acceptings anymore." With that she turned and trotted toward Litharaz and Ater.

Sacrifice lowered her head then smelt cats upon the outside. With a quick glance to Rasheetah, the pair moved out to inspect the arrivals.

Wither stayed in her spot. Waiting for the others to gather so that they could comense with the plan.

Incalia

With a reluctant growl, Incalia released Kane, running her pink tongue over her bloody jaws in a sinister manner. "Of course Risen." She then turned to fix the brute with an unwavering glare. "First, lets get one thing straight, this is a pack that is built on heirarchy. Those above you are not to be messed with, and you obey them. Now, Introductions are in order, seeing as I'm not stuck with you. I am Incalia, Shadow Haunter and Hybrid Canine division leader. You are?"

Kane/Tahti

Kane scrambled to his feet when he was released. He nodded as the female spoke. "I'm Kane, Incalia." He said reluctantly. He avoided eye contact with any of them, for he now knew that they could take him out.

Tahti stood next to Incalia and glared angrily at Kane. She bared her deadly teeth, showing that she could use them any time. She offered nothing more than a cold stare and a snarl.

Incalia

The hybrid nodded, her eyes still narrowed. "Kane, Risen has some duties for me, so I shall leave you with Tahti for a while when she calls me. You obey her as you would me, you understand? Leave her sight and there will be hell to pay." She then turned to the coyote beside her, "I shall leave him in your charge, If you would care to share this," she shot a glare at Kane, "burden with me."

Kane/Tahti

Kane listened intently to Incalia, then looked at Tahti. They both looked like they could kill him if they wanted to. "G-Got it." He said fearfully.

Tahti nodded. "I will guard him well." She replied. "...For the sake of the Haunters." Her hackles raised as she stared at Kane. "Pluck up, sissy!" She snarled, showing off her teeth.
