Hades comes, can I claim this land?

[Hades]

Heavy pads carried the black brute twards his destination, the water clan. His brother long gone was now only a mere memory in the back of his mind, though he had not forgotten his promis he could do nothing for him now. Darkness probably corrupted his mind already anyways, he was stolen so young. A sharp wind blew by as it was just the begining of winter and he was still without a home, being nothing in his old pack he had hopes of becomeing something in the new. He had traveled for long days and slept through the night, his black pelt hiding him in the shadows during dusk till dawn. Though he did not seek darkness he didnt seek light either, to him neutral was not his style either. He was one with no alignment, only the power of water. pink caressed his upper lip as he looked around with his silver hued orbs, one might think he was blind but in fact he was not. Mud clung to his feathers on his legs as he walked through the rain soaked ground, the many scents that where there the day before where washed away. Lifting his crown he sampled the air, his large pads dented the earth beneath him.

Loins moved gracefully as he held his tail out, he did not want to seem disrespectful of him being here. So he tucked his tail between his legs, and put out a submissive stance. He did not know what lurked in the corners of the darkening trees as he trotted by, pink lolled out of the side of his maw. The sun was rising and he knew he was heading in the right direction but where that was he did not know, it was as if a force was pulling him along. licking his maw again he was drooling, the sun slowly lit the land making the green trees above elumenate the ground below a shade of green which in turn made his own orbs an erie green. The underbrush that crunched beneath his pads where of many colors, he smiled as he noticed a few rabbits hopping about. They would soon be slumbering under ground, turning his crown sharply a new smell came to him. It was that of the water clans, turning his pads crossed each other and his dial raised. He was at the border of the water clans land, lifting his crown he sent out a howl. It drifted strongly through the trees and made its way to the core of the land, or at least he hoped.

Reclining upon his haunches he knew he would have to wait untill another came by and picked up his scent, the smell of the dew on the furn and pine made him think he was in heaven. It was early morning so he did not know if any of the wolves where awake yet, and if they where not then he would simply apologize and hope he would be able to join the ranks. A frog could be heard croaking in the backround as well as the crickets singing to each other, the ground emitted a semi-warm state and he felt comphertable with it. His black and gold pelt caught the sun making him look like a golden angel, yet he was far from one. Angels did not kill others for food, no he was far from being an angel. He had to many sins, looking around he noticed that the trees where very high. the bushes around where of the black berry kind, they where good during the winter time. licking his maw he also noticed many insects walking about, they would soon be gone with the cooler weather arriving. Though he did not know if it snowed here he thought that it would be best to be with his 'kind.'

Optics rolled over the vast lands as he stood at the border of the water clan, leather parted as he sampled the air. Licking his maw he noticed one thing, it was that the lands where not claimed as of yet. Stalks walked twards the territiory and he kept his leathers flaired in case he scented another, licking his maw once more he held his head low and started walking through the mass of trees that seperated the lands from the border. Once on the other side he lifted his crown and let out a howl, he wished to claim the lands for his own family. His song danced far and wide as he sang it, hopeing his claim was accepted. When he was finished his muzzle pointed horizontal to the ground, he looked around and reclined upon his haunches. Now he waited to see if his claim was heard.

blah...well there really isn't a water pack yet, since there is no current alpha, only a god who is being inactive as of right now....it was kinda of an thing I gave to whom I decided...but being as you're really the only other water canidate and you RP good enough, you'll meet the standard, if you could PM me for the finer details that would help lots....^.^; I might as well reply and help our activity level. if you can kiss me... then you can kill me. // You're not gonna get a response, ya know. The confident vocals were issued from a higher level than that of where the male was. A tree had fallen is one of the heavy storms perhaps even years ago, another of it's kind had caught it where it's large branches split unnaturally low, it held it's fellow secure, leaving it gently angled and a perfect growing surface for beds of moss. Perched lazyily 'top this elevated and cushioned throne was a lupe, his apperance close to the norm everywhere but his chilling optics. // These captivating pools were like no others, amber backgrounds were accented with sprinkles of turquoise droplets, giving him an unnerving stare. His chimes rang again as he gazed down at the new mascu. 'Cause there isn't anyone out there, not a soul. You really souldn't draw so much attention to yourself, if you're claiming thses lands you've just walked into an inherited war. We all did, some knowing, some not., he stood with a strech, keeping an eye on this bruten below his position. // No wings graced his back...yet. he'd neglected to seek out his patron goddess as of yet, she was his key to wings. They were granted to all alphas, if they wanted them. A agile leap was all he needed, his front pads connected with the ground right on target, the rest of his weight following. You're also lucky I'm not the one water's at war with, thats why you're alive right now. The name's Raja, anyways, alpha of the earthen element. Along with air, earth is pretty much neutral. What of yourself...? // His entire expression was nonchalant as he surveyed the new male. It was another of those 'so you want to be alpha' moments where the full of himself young brute thought himself alpha material and went on impulse to claim land. But what was this brats response going to be, everything depended on that.

//ooc: alright i will do that)

Waiting, he was paitent enough. Licking his upper lipins with his pink salmon he yawned, wondering where anyone was. An aud twitched as a brute spoke, turning his crown slowly he tilted his crown. The vocals of the moscou sang in his ears, staring at the brute for a moment he dragged in a deep breath. Expelling it out in a long sigh, orbs washed over the brute and watched as he jumped off the platform. Yet one has to wonder why he was here if there where absolutly no one around, bowing his crown twards the other brute he gave a smile. It had been a long time sence he had smiled, even longer to see another of his kind. Leather parted as he landed on the ground, was this a trap? Hades didnt know, all he knew was that if it where he would be in a lot of trouble. Parting his jowls he let his crimson smelling breath float into the air, questioning what he spoke a little.

"Hello, Im Hades. I am aware that there is a war, and that in itself is fine with me Alpha of the earthen deemed Raja. It is a pleasure to meet your aquantance, I am of no alignment. Nor am I a shifter, The only thing I possess is the water element."

Pink salmon touched his smooth furred upper lipin as he spoke, knowing he was not very good at fighting he still tryed. Though he did not show his weakness he seemed confident in all he did, auds where perked upon his cranium as he waited for the brute to speak again. Light wind carryed to his pelt playing with each link to his body, cruving them and bouncing away. Pads moved as he re-distributed the weight between them, his own orbs upon the brute. They where of a sliver color in there own nature, he stood when the alpha of the earthen jumped off of the grassy 'throne' nodding his crown in an respective way. His optics couldnt resist looking around as the sun shown lightly in the trees making them look like green lanterns, so why was there no one around. He wondered that sence he first settled at the borders, looking back at the brute he wondered. Opening his maw he let his baritone vocals sing into the air once more.

"So, why is there no one here? Am I to assume that they are at battle?"

His question was not threatining nor was it disrespectful, he was curious as to why there was no other wolven around. His auds where still perked on his black crown that fur was looked to be dipped in gold, licking his maw once more he waited for the brujo to answer. Upon waiting he looked around, the grass was still green and the trees around where very large. They where of all sorts of breeds, listening he heard two chimpmunks fighting over a pine nut. Blinking he watched them for a moment, knowing that Raja was there he waited. Finally the chimpmunks left the nut and ran up the tree squabling and yelling at each other in a language that he did not know, turning around he looked to the sky. His movements where that of self confidence and ease, he knew that he might become alpha if he proved himself worthy of being so.

ok, I made you a mod and updated your member title. Check your messages for more...^.^ if you can kiss me... then you can kill me. // Hades of water, eh?, Raja's vocals caught the younger males attention, drawing him into his unnerving stare. He moved without shifting his occuli, putting less space between the two of them. the new bruten had shifted his weight, a sign of unease. As I said before, I'm not the one after your pelt..that's the job of the fire pack. But this is an advanced warning, don't let it go to your head. A cocky alpha is a dead alpha. // Raja broke the stare as he returned to the tree. He ventured higher, onto thinner limbs. The reward was always the same, optics sweept over the entire terrain owned by water, and beyond. Come here, boy!, his chords were sharp and comanding. Come see for yourself what I speak of. I said you just stepped into an inherited war, I don't think you understood me. There is no one here, nor anywere from the packs of fire or water...not anymore. They destroyed each other long long ago. You and I are the new generation, but this slaughter is far from over. Not untill the gods settle it, we are their pawns and they are the players. Don't ever forget that. // Raja might have been the new generation, but he was born when the old still stood. From the ashes the packs would rise again, and the circle would repeat an endless number of times. It all depended on the gods to decide when it would stop. This mascu would need allys, but Raja was far from helping him, or anyone. Earth had it's own concerns, neutral was ot what it used to mean, it all came down to what his patron goddess, and she was on unkind terms with many of her siblings. // My lands are close to your's, untill I can no longer do so, you may come seek me out for advice or help. But do not ask me to fight your fight, ask no one other than those of water. Water and fire fight alone, that is law here, you started it, you'll finish it, the other elements have their own troubles. Any comments..?

[Hades]

((just so you know and dont think im nieve this is a new kind of fourm for me...how dose one go about getting a table though ive played roles for over a year now I am new to this new fourm.))


Silver optics watched the brute, his attention was caught indeed. He watched as the brute decreased the distance without moving his optics, all Hades could do was wait patiently and stare at the brute who was in front of him. Unknowing what was going to happen next he looked the brute in the eye, he listened as Raja spoke once more. Indeed he was not one to be cocky but he will remember this in the future years to come. Standing he heard the brute call to him, so he stood and walked twards the brute. Jumping up the tree untill he was on a branch just under Rajas, looking up he wondered what the brute was doing then he spoke again.

He listened to the alpha as he spoke of the war before him, Hade's own optics looked out beyond the trees and over the vast land that he claimed. Yet pride was in his heart his features where emotionless, turning his crown to the brute he waited for him to finish speaking. He heard him talk of the laws and that now Hades had started the war once again between water and fire for becoming alpha, looking at him he opened his maw and spoke. His words meant much to the mascou and he listened with great intrest in what Raja had to say, opening his maw he spoke.

" I am aware that I undertake a great feat, but if I can my allies and I will defeat the Fire clan. Though I am sure you hear alot of the other alphas say this, It is my wish to raise a family and lead the water clan to victory. I understand that I must start from scratch, that will one of the hardest parts and I am willing to deal with that. I will never forget that the gods are the players and we the wolves are thier pawns, Untill you cannot I will come and seek guidence to what I need. Thank you Raja alpha of the earthen clan, your words are greatly appreciated here."

Silver orbs stuck to the brute as he watched him, what would be his next move? Well find any other water wolves around, he would need to start his pack soon so he could start training. Yet he wondered for just the breifest of moments if there where any others than himself being in the water clan, then again there could be pups being born into other element clans without him knowing. Once he finds one he may steal the pup, but that in itself would not be good for the pup or for the adults. Shaking his crown he looked back twards the water clan terra, he understood fully the responsibility that he was taking on. To care for, protect, and save his family. He would be battling the wolves for all eternity if he had to.

Ok, finally got time to post. if you can kiss me... then you can kill me. // Raja growled, he snapped his jaws toward the brute. Brat, still your words are riddled with mistakes. Do not think that because I am not your foe, that it makes me your friend. I am not. I will present the same offer to the alpha of fire as I did to you, boy. His muscles coiled, allowing him to leap from the perch with ease. // He spun on impact, facing the new water alpha one last time. There is no victory in this war, I told you that. You forget already who's rules we play by, live by, and fight by. You think the pervious water leader was any less determined than you. Any less brave, or skilled. I've lived through one war here. No matter how strong, skilled and smart your pack will be, the fire pack will match. You speak of them as the great evil....perhaps you should seek out the truth. // Raja knew the truth, but this male would have to seek him, or a god, if he wanted to know. The dominant male let his kissers curl back in an dominat display. He spun on his pistons, leaving the terra at a brisk pace, plume held in the dominat posture of an alpha. The brute could still run after him, yell for him to stop, or seek him out some other time, Raja didn't really care.

[Hades]

Auds fell back as the brute growled and snapped at him, looking at Raja he wondered why he did so. After a moment of silence he got his answer, he had forgotten for a moment of the gods and godesses and the role he would play in thier little game. He made a mental note to remember it, leather parted as he listened to the brute. He knew in the back of his mind that no element other than water would be friends, an aud twitched back as he listened. The fire element would match thier skill and strength in this he knew and yet he let his mind wander into thinking else wise, tilting his crown he watched as the brujo leapt from the tree. Spinning around once he landed he spoke some more, auds where ringing with Rajas vocals.

Perhaps you should seek the truth.....

The fire clan was the enimy were they not? Or was this war started because the gods did not agree, he watched as the brute started to walk away. Leaping down from the tree he landed softly and trotted twards him, he wondered what he was talking about. He thought it would be wise to learn all he could from the brujo, he will never forget that the gods had control over the lives they lived. To take and to give life, auds where perked as he walked behind Raja. All sorts of thoughts filled his head, he wanted to know the truth and learn all he could from the brujo that was infront of him. Opening his maw his vocals ran into the air calling to Raja, hopeing he would stay for a little while longer. Pads carried him the distance between them, orbs stuck on the brutes pelt.

"Raja.....wait, you are right. I am sorry, please tell me all you know."

He was sincere about what he said, he wished to know all of what the brute knew. Tilting his crown he looked at him, maybe he would tell him or help him. Maybe he wouldnt, with a sigh he lowered his alpha tail and waited for the brujo to reply. All the while he walked along side him, the birds chirped in the backround and the trees hovered above. The borders where beautiful but did not take the beauty from the temple of the water god, he walked in silence as he waited for Raja to answer him or snap and make him leave him alone.
