we are each our own devils


Sentinel was halfway in exploring when the call hit him. He had never had the intention of climing this place as his own but it still shocked him... and the teen was bowled over at the force of the mind-call. He growled and indeed pressed on, eager to meet this alpha and give him a piece of his mind.... okay, bow, get accepted then ask politely what that was all about. He sniffed then froze. His body snaked into the grounds of Elysium and as he entered the stadium and glanced swiftly at the office, before seeing the greatest, biggest form of an alpha and guardian you could ever see. Sentinel could easily see who it was and his blue paws splashed against the ground as rain began instantly. But he snorted and padded through. His whole family had been related to water, which gave him the ability to breathe underwater, Instantly Sentinel knew nothing else was here, apart from these two entities. His red eyes called silently too the leader, as he snorted and said,"Hail, Alpha! I am a wanderer and have interest in joining your lands". Sentinel had always been brough up to talk properly and always will, despite the cruel conditions he had lived in. Tummy grumbling he sat down and bared his neck as high as his head could go, the white fur shining in the gloomy darkness. As the rain clattered around him he became drenched but savoured the fact and his fur dripped slowly, in a monotone type of way. As it dripped, everything stopped as he caught his breath, a single ray of sunshine radiating off the drip and creating the most beautiful shadow around him, a rainbow colored shadow. But the memory was fleeting as the sun disappeared and the rain hit the ground, shattering into a thousand crystals. His red eyes shone through the musk and droplets gathered on his nose. Sentinel kept still, not knowing if the alpha was here or not. He breathed freely despite the water on his nose, occuli focusing on the drops and auds perked so he looked like a furred unicorn. His fangs became visible as he drank in air like a drowing man and the rain was his oxygen, parting the toungue from his mouth and swallowing the water. Allowing himself a breath could of broken his peace so he staid there, still as a dying memory, fleeting, yet etching a mark in history. Which was exactly his plan. Sentinel's Courage wouldn't go anywhere without a mark left somewhere.

and we will make this world our hell

Shadow Spirit

Moisture fell from the sky in crystal droplets, making quiet splashes where they fell. Soon, a chorus of musical splashes echoed throughout the Ivory King's domain. Shadow Spirit rejoiced in the rain, acting like an overgrown pup by chasing the balls of moisture. As the new scent hit his nasal passages, a sense of dominance swept over the massive brute. Quickly, he made his way to the newcomer, his tail held high in the alpha position, showing his rank and and authority. He was relieved to see that the male had taken up the submittive position. A vampire wolf, he noticed. No matter, all were welcome in Elysium, no matter shape, form, or subspecies. Too many times the Guardian had been rejected to be ignorant, when he knew exactly how it felt. Rise, wolf, He said in a light tone, his powerful voice never shaking or pausing. As a warrior of Elysium. Tell me your name and I shall tell you mine. Shadow paused there, waiting for a reply from the strange coloured lupe. His thoughts wandered for a few milliseconds, thinking of his dead adoptive mother, but they soon returned to the lupe before him, as he thought of nonchalant questions he might ask. Nothing too personal just yet. Imposing was not a great emotion for Shadow Spirit.

Life or death... It's only a matter of seconds... [glow=red,2,300] Shadow Spirit[/glow]

[grumpygrim]

Like a dark shadow with barely an existance, a dark figure strode between trees with no real intended location. The wind had picked up the last mile or so, causing Renoa to long for shelter even more. Every now and again the heavens would open to bathe the world in soothing yet, cold droplets, damping the femme's dark brown coat giving it a sleek effect and an almost black shade. The thought of a never ending rain came to mind, chilling her nerves to extent of fear, wondering if such a thing would ever come showing no sign of halt, smothering the land in water that rose too high for her survival. Such thoughts occasionally darkened her mind, a negative energy taking hold and bringing all deep thoughts of worry to the surface, it was inevitable.
Her creamish brown paws brought her frame to a halt, stopping in their tracks whilst her dark eyes examined her surroundings, it were like nothing she had ever come across. An open field lay ahead of her course whilst on the outskirt of her glance stood what seemed to be, an abandoned room, something that sparked her curiosity instantly. Though taken in by what she saw, a piercing howl caught her bellls resulting in her gaze swooping in direction of the culprit of such a graceful howl. It was light but full of dominance, becoming a meer echo passing along toward the distance, losing it's fulfilling vibration the further it fell. Quickly, The femme darted in direction of what seemed to be, the alpha wolf. Her paws hit the ground hard, rising from the surface quickly to persue her trip in reaching his graceful form. The open grassy area was wet, sending Renoa slipping and sliding occasionally here and there, but luckily, the fae managed to keep her balance and resume her run until finally, she were there.
Two dominant, male scents were carried upon the harsh breeze, reaching her senses causing her to become alert to knowing there was now more than one male in the area, but surely.. only one could rule the land himself, surely?. Lips glued and frame tense, Renoa Walked slowly toward the two, hovering one paw in the air a few seconds before placing it back down upon the grassy surface, hesitant as she was.
Lingering a few paws from the male that had been approached by what seemed the alpha, her dark brown's glared at him, unsure of most brutes as she was, the femme' couldn't help but keep her distance. The Alpha male, however, was Handsome, and had a look of pure authority and delicate existance. Something about him stood out, but Renoa herself couldn't quite place a paw on it.. but sure was curious.
Waiting and watching, she was for sure in eye shot. Her beautiful built figure took a comfortable seat upon her haunches, awaiting to too, be approached.

[Sentinel Cyreus]

Sentinel gladyly lowered his head and with a steely look in his eyes said, calmly, quietly, "My name is Sentinel's Courage, sir. Everyone calls me Sentinel, though. I can breathe underwater sir, and I am a good fighter, sir" He stumbled slightly as he stodd up, tail still very low as he was an omega. He flattened his ears against his cranium and bowed his head and moved away slightly, so the giant alpha could move off for the other new comer. "Oh, and sir? Why was there so much force in that mind call? It gave me a sore head and bowled me over...." It ended in a low growl but he lowered his head even more to show no offence. Sentinel was used to alphas but this one was far too big for him. He had an idea that maybe, oneday when he was fully grown with a few more powers He could take him on.. risking another glance at the huge alpha, Sentinel then decided maybe not. The rain still fell with force and he relished the cold feel on his fur and his fish like body slithered into a puddle that was more like a swimming pool for a pup. Going under he staid there for a few seconds, loving the feel but Sentinel became scared that the Alpha would think of him as disrespectful. Climbing out in a hurry Sentinel's Courage approached the new girl with care and sniffed her quitely. He raised his tail less than an inch to show he had been met and greeted but sat down a few feet away, waiting for the alpha. It's not that he was impatient or anything, Sentinel just got..bored. Yeah, he just got bored. His red eyes bored holes through the newcomers head. The boy thumped his tail on the ground and strangely enough, the rain got lower and lower, until it stopped completely. Thr young blue child grinned eagerly but it didn't start again, unfortunately, so his favourite weather was gone. It was true, also that Sentinel had been abused as a child but he let none of that pain and hurt show in his eyes. The only thing that was in his crimson occuli was the pride a warrior should have; pride of place, or was it rank? We may never know, because apart from that fleeting thoguh it vanished forever from Sentinel's memory.

The large ivory King turned his maw to look at the new scent. His sapphire occuli studied the femelle's figure for a few seconds before noting that she hadn't submitted. He decided, not wishing to act impolitely an growl a warning to submit, to simply ignore the femelle - hard as that may be for the always polite Shadow Spirit - until she bowed to him. With a meaningful glance at the Newcomer Femelle, he turned back to Sentinel. I am Shadow Spirit, but Shadow will do. And please, I despise all this 'Sir' nonsense. Although you should be polite to your superiors, I believe that their names were picked to call them by. If any member of this pack should tell you differently, please tell me and I shall correct them. Oh, and that call was for the deaf. I'm generally very considerate. As he turned to face the femelle again, with his banner, he raised the male's to lieutenant. Well he did need a few good warriors, and the brute's abilities would come in handy someday. He needed him on his side, but seeing as the homme marveled as Shadow's sheer size, perhaps this wouldn't be too difficult after all. An imaginary lupine brow raised as Shadow waited for the femelle to speak or submit, patient and caring as always.

[grumpygrim]

The wind had began to pick up, blowing furiously across the open area in which the beautiful female stood, gazing toward the scene unfolding before her eyes. The brute who had also ventured to the area in search of family seemed an arrogant brute, the type she certainly did not have time for, which didn't bother her too much considering she would only really need to make small talk with him, if that, until he were to shine otherwise. Minutes passed rather quickly but seated Renoa remained, calm and patient awaiting to be acknowledged, and just when it seemed it were never gonna' happen, a sharp, stern glance her way caught the femme's attention. Her ears fell against her skull, not through fear.. rather.. the unexpected expression now that had risen upon the males face, hell.. even that look, you had to admit, was rather damn cute! Shaking her skull defensively from the thought, she warned herself rather, to remember he was alpha, and not to be thought of in such way. Seconds flew by and Renoa felt a warmth beneath her pelt, her dark eyes almost as firey as the gift she held in secret, when suddenly.. a small spark appeared to her side, hell.. even causing her to jump! It's quick spark soon became a small red flame clinging to the very life of the few lonesome brambles that stood parted from the rest. Renoa glanced to the alpha, knowing fine well she had caused this, but unsure as to how he would take it, particularly the fact that she had yet to learn to control such a gift that no doubt, many forms envied.
"I'm Sorry! It just.. i just.. didn't mean.."
Realising how stupid she must have sounded, Renoa thought back before the event and in his wishes for she to submit, and decided talking was best for later, and right now.. doing as was ruled.. was the best option. Letting her front paws fall away from her, Renoa was soon upon the ground, tail between her legs and throat exposed to whatever he wished, her life couldn't be anymore his. Her dark brown glance remained low, only once or twice sneaking up to peer to his handsome, regal form.

[SS]

Shadow blinked at the fire. His pelt bristled, and suddenly, before anyone could blink, he wasn't there. The dying sizzles of the flames echoed, and suddenly, SS was back. He shook his pelt, and smiled at the newcomer femelle. It's quite alright. I just had to make a little run to the river for water to drench it. You needn't look so worried. You're quite alright now, safe as a warrior of Elysium. He gave the pretty femelle a shy grin, and nudged her head softly, letting her know that she could rise now. We all have to learn to controll our powers at some point. How hard do you think it was for me to send that mental call to everyone? Very. It took years of practise. And with his mind, only to her, he spoke gently. If you ever want help, you come to me, and I'll teach you, okay? He dropped his gaze as he said this, not able to help but notice how pretty she was. The prettiest femme he ever saw, in his opinion. He smiled softly, giving her a sheepish grin, embarrassed and betrayed by his own thoughts. Okay, so he found her attractive. But his mind didn't need to go thinking about it!

[grumpygrim]

Renoa watched the male cautiously, his actions spoke words, but no threat seemed to pierce her heart with worry or need to feel intimidated about his presence. Once the fire was history, the female rose her glance to the male, the look of innocence shon brightly about her beautiful form which tingled nervously as he came close and nudged her with welcome and allowing to rise. Ofcourse, Renoa took advantage of this fast and was soon upon her paws once again, risen to her typical height that was lower than the King coincidentally, but enough to comfort her self esteem..
"Thank You.."
A bright, genuine smile crept upon her features as he began to speak and tell her of the time he spent becoming used to his own powers, and it comforted her a great deal knowing she was under such a good King, but.. also a King whom seemed easy to talk to.. it couldn't have been better. Her thoughts suddenly became pushed aside as a low, male voice pierced her very mind. The words soothing the femme' greatly, inviting she to talk with him and be helped about her powers, the understanding and practicality of it all which he offered to guide her on. Her ears twitched and eyes stared with a blank expression forward in to his. Once he had finished, Renoa caught his shy smile directed at her, and she in turn, returned it with her own. Hell, she couldn't help it! It just happened! Her eyes lowered in an innocent fashion as she smiled now toward the ground trying to prevent his gaze weakening her more. Knowing the other brute was still close by, Renoa bowed her head gracefully at his caring gesture in helping her, and whispered a since "Thank You" toward him.

[SS]

He smiled softly as she returned his grin. She looked so pure and innocent that he just couldn't hel but smile as a protective instinct rose in him. He would be blushing if he could be. He looked up, remembering Sentinel. By the way, Lieutenant Sentinal, you can exlore your home now. He kind of wanted to speak to this femelle alone. Now. Without Sentinel. ALONE. Shadow returned his gaze to the pretty femelle. Oh, and by the way, my name is Shadow Spirit. Shadow for short. Can I ask yours? He flashed a welcoming grin as he said this, lifting his right fore paw in eager anticipation. The chain rung as metal hit metal. Shadow ignored it. He was so used to that sound that he almost didn't hear it anymore. Damn metal was protected, so he couldn't loosen it. It remained on his right fore paw, the cold grey visible against his silver and white, fluffy pelt. He studied the femelle's expression, once again noticing just how pretty she was. He felt butterflies - or indigestion - in his stomach at the thought. His left aud twitched with his good humour, as he enjoyed the spectacle he was making of himself. Shadow knew love. He had a mate before - Summer. They were only teens, madly in love. They were smart enough never to mate, but their affectionate bond had been so strong it had been overwhelming at first. She had probably found another love by now, the pretty little doll that Summer was. She cried when he left, but it was something he had to do. He couldn't have stayed in the Forest. Not after Mosspool... Passed away. It was too hard. And she couldn't leave her brothers. No, they had to part for the common good. Ashanti had Life to keep her happy. Shadow focused his gaze back on the femelle, telling himself off for letting his mind drift so far from shore.

[silverwolf]

silver lifted her head and cupping her mouth forward let out a strong, High loud call. she sent the message" I am here and I wish to join your pack" she lowered her silver colored head, her ears pricked forward. she caught the smell of two males, she was sure that the call had come from a very large alpha male. she raced toward the sound her paws flew over the grass. she found the two males she had been seeking. But there was also a surprise. Another female! silver eyed her suspiciously, she was chocolate brown in color. silver gently put her head at a lower position. she lowered her tail slightly. she nodded toward the handsome alpha. Oh how handsome he was. he had similar color in his pelt as hers. cocking her head to one side she looked only at the alpha for a few minutes then looked away in respect to his dominance."you are a guardian aren't you?"
