Rokunam's Story

BattleDemon arrived at the cave, saw Midnight and glared at Cerise. "Don't you know anything about the words, 'Stranger Danger?" She looked at midnight growled and took a menacing step forward already seeing his whole life line as she looked into his eyes. "You should stop before you get hurt. I suggest you leave and get out of my cave before I claw your eyes out, shove them down your throat and have you watch as I tear you body to shreds." Her voice was sweet but full of anger and hatred. She disliked shadow wolves and finding one in her home wasn't on her list of things to see. Unlike Cerise, she knew what she was doing, getting into a fight with a shadow wolf. The odd were about fifty-fifty but she was in a rage right now which would give her an advantage in a fight. Raising her tail, showing her status she bared her teeth. "Now you either move.... or explain yourself"

Mydnyte managed to dodge Cerise's attack by leaping back somehow, but the second black and maroon colored wolf lunged at him and managed to sink his teeth in his shoulder blade. Mydnyte roughly shook his shoulder knocking the wolf's jaws out of his fur. It left a deep gash in fur. The shadows that Mydnyte used dissipated as he weakened slightly.

To make matters worse a third wolf had appeared and said, "You should stop before you get hurt. I suggest you leave and get out of my cave before I claw your eyes out, shove them down your throat and have you watch as I tear you body to shreds." She raised her tail at him and bared her teeth before adding, "Now you either move.... or explain yourself."

Mydnyte paused with his fighting and looked this black wolf with one milky white eye and one blue eye said, "So the true owner of this cave has finally come home, eh Miss Alva? You and your friends are rather hostile. I wanted to take this place for my own at first, but then I was met by one of the wolves in your group named Cerise. I attacked her thinking she was here alone and injured her, but I backed off and she injured me in return. We came around to telling a little bit of our histories to each other I suppose, yet even after hearing that this cave was going to only be a temporary home for you all I was not permitted to stay the night and keep this cave the following morning."

Mydnyte turned his head and looked at the x on the ground that he had drawn earlier that was no more than ten feet or so from the entrance to the cave. He had to twist around a little bit to do this. "If you look at the ground over where my head is turned you will see my mark. I have marked this territory in hopes that once you leave I can keep it. I'm only coming back here because I saw strange wolves walking around, primarily the guy that just bit my shoulder."

He glared at the Strigoi wolf shinobi and bared his fangs before turning back to BattleDemon. "I couldn't have anything happen to territory that may eventually be mine. The only problem I suppose other than this is that Cerise refuses to believe that I can claim your territory on the day that you leave. I'd like to first take a nap."

Mydnyte collapsed to the ground as Shinobi's paralyzing bite took hold of him. Mydnyte's last words before he lost consciousness as well were, "You better let me come to some agreement with you, oh owner of this cave."

(I hope I role played this out well enough and included everyone. I was hoping to get as many wolves into a single post as I could. Well, in terms of those who were directing their actions towards Mydnyte. I'm rather sorry if people don't like a wolf imposing on the cave dwelling. I just figured that since Mydnyte is a loner travelling the world all by himself he would want to maybe have a place to come back to and rest. Based on what what posted by the last owner of him I'm sure that I've done an okay job portraying his kind, but I'd like suggestions if you all think otherwise.)

Even though he wasn't quite there to the cave, he could see the large wolf. 'Hm.' he thought to himself. 'I can already tell that one is from the Tenneth pack...how....common...' Schemeko continued in his thoughts as he sniffed the air. 'Hm...just how many more wolves arew gathering here?' He thought as he smelt two other wolves somewhere in the distance. 'I wonder...how can everyone from different packs gather and not attack each other?' 'This is...interesting...hehehe...but its good for me.' 'The more the merrier...maybe I'll have some fun yet.' He chuckles sinisterly to himself. "Oh dear, the rain is starting to come down...we better hurry!" Schemeko said as he approaches the cave.

Cerise almost jumped for joy when she heard Battle say this, but she kept her calm and followed. Once they were at the cave, Cerise walked in and replied first, "Yes, That I am." Cerise said gleefully. The rain started to pour down harder and lightning started flashing through the sky. Cerise whimpered some and walked towards the back of the cave. "I'd hate to be the poor wolf stuck in this storm." It was in another moment where realization hit her. "Nova!" she suddenly blurts out. She then begins to get a little frantic of her friend. "Nova. He was going to his home. I'm pretty sure he got stuck in the storm..." She says very fast. She turns to Battle. "Hey, do you think Nova will be alright?" she asked. Even though Nova wasn't an Avira, the odds of being struck by lightning are almost absolute in a huge storm like this one. Even in a forest, a bolt could hit a tree making a fire or there are even the chances of a twister to happen, though if one of those were to take place, Cerise could handle it.

Cerise was completely shocked at what they had both siad, but that shock soon turned to rage. "So everything he said... was a lie...?" She asked. Her heart felt as if it had been ripped out by Nova himself and left in the rain. Soon though it all changed when she got up and walked to the front of the cave. "That. Lieing. Son of a Mutt!!!" She snarled, not caring about the lightning above their heads. "I cant beleive he lied to me..." She growled. "I swear, when I see him again, I'm gonna tear his vile heart out and I'm gonna shove it down his putrid throat!" She snarled. She walked through the cave rambling on more about how she could disgustingly kill that 'mutt' until she was out of energy and plopped down on one of the pillows putting a paw on her head. "Ugh... I've got a major headache." She half whines half growls. She rolls over and faces the opening of the cave as the rain pours down. The mouth of the cave looked like a waterfall as the water cascaded down and onto the muddy ground. Cerise though couldn't help but feel a little bad for Nova but she growls and shakes it off, pushing all likings of him away and out of her head. Instead she only smirked, happy that he was out and away from her life, probably for good; but as much as fate has been putting everyone together, she wasn't sure about it.

Cerise heard Schemekos' statement which only added on to her guilt and Battle growling at her didn't help at all. At first, Cerise, as a lower class wolf, backed down a little; her ears drooping somewhat and her tail limp, but her ears perked at the sound of splashing behind her. She turned around only to see Nova was carrying himself away. "Nova! Stop!" she barks over the rain, but it wasn't cold, harsh, brutal, and forceful, like it was in the cave, but more of a soft and reassuring one that was like Cerise's normal self barking to a friend. She turned to Battle and decided now would be a good time to say something. "Listen, I know I wanted to kill him after I found out he was a spy but the main reason for this is because he lied to us, and after a brief moment of thinking I have found out that he isn't heartless or not caring. I mean a normal spy wouldn't stick around with their worst enemy, the Tenneth, or the most feared wolf of all, an Alva, and... even... a klutz of an Avira..." she said weakly. "But he did. And if anything that's got to mean something to you, cause it sure does to me." Cerise states boldly before making the air around all of them, including Nova, spin catching the droplets of water and making them circle around the wolves. She did this as a sign to Nova that she still cares and even though he was a spy doesn't change him in the fact that they weren't friends. She just hopes he would get the hint or even accept it.

Nova was spent, and even the sincerity of Cerise's words did little to phase his demeanor. This little "game" that she had just insisted on playing ruined all trust he had of this little group. BattleDemon he could understand her participation in the game, he was used to thinking of her as heartless, yet Cerise's suggestion of the game is what caused all feelings of goodness to crash and burn. Nova looked back at her with a red foam dribbling down his mouth, a mixture of saliva and blood. And to think, his very first impression of Cerise had been a wolf he could approach for an alliance. An emotionless, military matter. Slowly and steadily she had worn him down, revealing the wolf he was inside, the wolf he was in front of his friends and family. He had finally relented to showing that side of himself to Cerise, and then she turned around and stomped all over it, his very good nature. And for what, believing that despicable Alvan wolf that he was a spy? Nova had never considered himself a spy, in fact his official title was "Scout". He had always thought a spy was those backstabbing pain in the necks that went around wearing disguises and working in the shadows. He had never done that. Had he? But what did all this matter. They were enemies. And all is fair in love and war.

With a final cold stare back at Cerise, Nova took another step forward. But his foot didn't catch him. Instead, his leg collapsed under him, refusing to sustain its master any longer, and Nova was blacked out before his face hit the ground.

Mydnyte had stood up from where he was resting on the ground since they had begun the game of "Traitor", except he didn't follow after Nova in the usual manner. He used all the power he had to surround himself in darkness and stay hidden in the shadows of the trees. When Nova collapsed he came out of the shadows and said, to the group as he stepped in front of Nova's collapsed corpse, "This wolf is nearly dead as he is in his current state. Since I am just a traveling wolf let me dispose of Nova so you don't have to do what I think you may be wanting to do to him. It won't be good for your conscious."

Mydnyte looked straight into Cerise's eyes then quickly wandered around the side of Nova and grabbed him by the nape of his neck with his teeth, "I am almost out of energy as I am right now, but killing him will not take much. I suppose that's what you want?" he posed in a muffled voice towards Cerise. His eyes gleamed like black, unlit coals in the dreary rain.
--
Nearby the two Kamarians that had been looking for Mydnyte caught a familiar scent and sniffed the air. "It's him..." they growled as they wandered towards where Nova and most of the others were.

Cerise was about to remark when voices pierced through the ran and into her ears. She turned her head only to be blown back by an explosion. No other wolf but a Tenneth could do that. She growls and spread her wings, and with one flap, a huge gust of air blew towards them. She turns to Mydnyte, "Stop talking and just help me carry him to the den." she growls a little to harsh for her liking but right now she really didn't care.

Mydnyte did as he was told and pulled Nova with all her might. He watched as Cerise blew the flames that Rokunam had created towards the Kamarians. They were stunned by the fiery explosion and the sudden burst of flames now headed towards them. They quickly scampered out of the way of them though by leaping to the side of them and charged Rokunam intending to tackle him to the ground. He was the most serious threat at the moment and needed to be eliminated. They had no idea what had happened to Chubby Hugo, but if there was a wolf like Rokunam around Mydnyte it was very likely he was somehow defeated by one of the wolves here. They'd hate to think it was him or the injured wolf they had seen earlier named Nova. The wolf blowing air and the flames at them wasn't bad either, but there was a certain order to things that needed doing before they could safely capture Mydnyte and drag him back home. It was all a game of tactics.

"We've got you now!" they cried as both of the Kamarians showed off rows of teeth to Rokunam. In this day and age teeth weren't really all that useful for a wolf in combat, but if one was against someone who could shoot ice, fly, or blast lightening form there tail it was always good to just show them for good measure.

The first Kamarian who'd been thrown into the air retaliated by firing a dark energy beam beam from his maw at the ground. Despite the fact he was aiming into a cloud where his partner was he didn't care. He let it loose and caused the ground underneath the second wolf to explode. This second Kamarian wolf had no time to dodge, thanks to being hit by Rokunam's flames, and was then sent flying out off the ground where he landed a few feet away. Slightly bruised, but mostly okay.

The first Kamarian wolf landed on the ground and looked around. There was a huge crater where they both had been previously and fallen tree trunks everywhere. The ground was scorched and Rokunam was not in sight now.

"Where'd he go?" the first wolf asked as he smelt the air around him and couldn't get a whiff of Rokunam's scent.

"Where'd he go? I'd like to ask why you shot your dark energy beam at me!" the second wolf complained as he turned towards his partner, "If I didn't have the ability to make a barrier around myself with my dark, negative emotions I'd be dead right now probably."

"It's not my fault you can't move at the right time."

The second wolf growled and lunged at the first one. The two began a mass of fur and paws as they tore at each other and quickly forgot their objective. Two allies had now officially turned against each other, for the moment, but could they reunite again and get back to the real issue at hand? Mydnyte didn't care as he watched them and continued to drag Nova's body into the cave. He reached it and sighed as he let go of Nova's neck. The fighting his fellow Kamarians displayed was now officially the true extent of his pack. The reason Kamarians were so mysterious was because they were ruled by Kaveh and he had let them do whatever they wanted. This eventually turned into pure rivalry and infighting among the members of the group.

"Cerise!" he called to the white winged wolf, "I know we're not friends, but can you send these two packing? That fire breathing wolf seems to have done a good job at getting them annoyed I'd rather like it if they left though!"

(I hope I haven't done anything two odd. I was just going to use this post to get rid of the wolves that I had made as NPCs and then have that be a cause for Kaveh to come into the story, seeing that his minions had failed. Does anyone think I'm playing Mydnyte okay? Everyone understands that I've had Mydnyte be in one pack originally, but then get taken under Kaveh's wing. After which he left due to still undecided and unknown reasons.)

Schemeko returning to the cave brought his ingredients. "My, my what fun times you all have...fighting with wolves and such." He laughed as he brought the herbs to Nova. "Make him eat the Silk Grass and as for the Sprint Leaves, I need someone to chew them up and lick them over his wounds." "I can't do it because, even my saliva has drops of venom in it and I can garauntee that will not heal your Asui wolf." He said jokeingly as he returned back to his corner of the cave and sat down.

"I don't do this for just anyone, but you I think dragged my clan into finding me. You were the last person I saw until those Kamarians attack us, so I need to keep you alive until I can force you to repay a debt you now owe me." Mydnyte said as he walked over to the pile of Silk Grass and Sprint Leaves and took them into his mouth. He chewed them vigorously almost suddenly wanting to gag at the weird mixture and taste in his mouth. He did not spit them out though and let his teeth cut through the tough grasses as he made into a fine green mush.

He walked over to Nova and circled around him searching for the majority of his cuts and saw that only his leg for the moment needed the most most treatment. He put his tongue on Nova's front leg and began to lick it. It would be a slow process, but would hopefully get the wolf off his feet and out of Mydnyte's hair. He didn't like injured wolves that sat around hardly able to do anything.

As was his custom, Nova didn't say anything as Cerise bore her soul out for him to see. He had never been too good at empathizing with other wolves, however with the minimal experience he did have he could understand what he would have done had he been in her paws. He would have seen a spy as a traitor that needed to be eliminated at every cost, and unlike Cerise, he may have carried out the threat to kill. But what did it matter. This experience made him realize that there was no use in a personal life during times of blood and hatred, the only thing that should be important is next battle.

As he formulated Cerise's narrative in his head, he noticed the entering of the others, each bearing their own gifts. Upon seeing the Hemlock wolf and hearing his instructions, he was surprised at who came to aid him, for the Kamarian was the last wolf Nova figured, and wanted, to have their tongue spreading gunk across his wounds. He didn't know what the Kamarian was talking about, he was saving Nova just so Nova could later save him? Seems like a trivial reason. Nova stared at the strange green paste that was being spread at over his legs and almost gagged as well, wincing at every stroke of the wolf's rough tongue.

Nova took Mydnyte's rant and disregarded it; Nova had figured by now that this Kamarian was prone to impulsive and slightly offensive statements. Nova figured that Mydnyte was referring to those wolves that had captured Nova not so long ago, but how did Mydnyte know about that? Had he been out longer than he thought? Maybe those Kamarians showed up while he had been passed out. He looked down at his body, now covered in a drying paste of plant matter. It looked silly, but the plants did seem to have some sort of effect. There was an odd cooling sensation that he felt in the areas where the medicine was more liberally applied, and Nova felt his muscles relax. He realized he was still having a hard time hearing out of one of his ears, and he hoped it would return soon. Could it have been from that blasted exploding tree?

Nova tried standing up once again. His muscles were numb, and his legs wobbly, and he decided to sit back down before he hurt himself. Sure he didn't feel pain, but being numb was something else. He could be seriously damaging a part of his body and not know it, simply because he could not feel it. He looked about the cave, his eyes stopping on Rokunam of all wolves. He remembered what he had said, and Nova decided to respond accordingly. "Must not be very sporting to use fire when hunting. But I must say it gets the job done, even if the creature can't defend himself." Nova commented, looking at the singed corpse that Rokunam had brought with him. The aroma excited Nova, even though he had just stuffed himself with those lousy berries.

"She has a point...the rain is about as unforgiving as the Kamarians searching for you." Schemeko grined, "From what I saw, they shall return with more wolves and how are you going to survive fight with pack in this rain?" "You will surely die." Schemeko chuckled. "I mean you are hunted by your own pack correct?" "I can understand just how vicious wolves can be if they truly want to rip you apart...hehehe...your much more better of staying here." "After all what good will it do you to leave if your just going to die?" Schemeko chuckled too himself as saw Nova try and get up. "Oh I wouldn't do that if I was you, you need to let the paste enter your body and allow it to mend your wounds, otherwise your going to injure yourself or worse...die." Schemeko then turned his attention to the prey Rokunam recently caught. "Nice catch, but you wouldn't want me near that thing, I would make it inedible just by simply licking it."

Mydnyte stood at the front of the cave and stated as he looked at Nova and Schmeko, "Hemlock, I don't care what you have to say I'd rather leave here and not draw their damn attention to me rather than have ten or so of my own kind on my back. Ausi, I'm sure you're probably wondering how they found me and why they're attacking you, but I'll reiterate it again maybe in a simpler form. They've been looking for me for a while. When a Kamarian leaves the home pack to search for something like food or land they are given three days to look for new resources, at least that's how Kaveh runs things, he's the leader of my so-called "pack". If they don't find any in that time and come back then they automatically get hunted. I've been gone so many days now that I can't even remember. But they probably followed my scent here, and seeing as you're the most recently injured looking person you had a scuffle with them perhaps... That provoked them to find me even more, so they did."

(Sigh, I'm throwing crude together now.)

Right now Cerise wasn't paying attention to anyone. She was actually more interested in the catch that Rakunam had brought in and like most of the wolves in the cave she commented nicely on how good the catch was. Somehow, she had just now realized how hungry she was and she was starting to feel the effects. Cerise got up and waited for Rakunam to finish before she started to eat as well. When she was done tearing and chewing the pieces of flesh off of the corpse her attention was directed to Nova who had just been told he couldn't move. Well he was a good distance away from the kill so Cerise tore of a leg and slid it to him. She also took a chunk of the stomach flesh of and gave it to Schemeko who had said he could poison the whole thing, so Cerise only gave him a piece. After she was finally satisfied, she walked to the front of the cave and laid down with a sigh of contentment. The running water coming off the mouth of the cave was really relaxing and Cerise took out her sketch pad and began to draw out the 'waterfall' in front of them. It felt good to relax and draw again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I told you you shouldn't move.You could be tearing out every tendon in your body for all I know." the Alva snapped before he sighed. In the distance he heard thunder and when he turned around thunder clouds were in the distance. "looks like a storm is headed this way..." the Alva said expressionless. He then turned his head to face Battle again. "Might I ask what you were doing in that river?" he said hoping to see if this wolf knew any shelter around or any other wolves around the area, but he was also wanting to know a bit about this wolf.

Nova was careful in listening to Rokunam and then Mydnyte respectively, annoyed now that he was instructed that he could not move. The paste was stiff now that it dried, so it was a constant reminder to him not to do anything that would kill himself, like a cast. The Kamarians sounded more uncouth than he had ever thought of them before, or simply bloodthirsty. An Ausi would never get hunted down for not meeting a deadline, even if it was something important like an imperialist mission to obtain more resources. At most, the convicted would be detained and put on low rations for upwards of a month, and even the most serious of offenses was only met with banishment. As far as he knew, the Ausi's have not instated capital punishment for over three generations, which Nova took as an enlightened policy that set the Ausi's above the less civil packs. Violence is not always the answer, but when it is, the Ausi's can excel at it.

Nova slumped down on the floor of the cave and thanked Cerise quietly for the meat she had offered him. However, at the moment, it just didn't really look all that appetizing. The warm blood, the severed tendons, the stench...it just seemed so inferior to the fruit he had just eaten. At least that was clean, and once you popped it in your mouth, it was gone. Maybe Hero's earlier vegetarian rhetoric was starting to get to him, this was the first time he had looked at meat in a negative light. Predicting he would reconsider later, Nova replaced the meat at the carcass, saying something about how he was full, and gently pulled himself over to a wall that he could rest against. His mind was not pleased with all the activity buzzing around the cave, so to calm himself, he watched Cerise over her shoulder at the drawing she was creating. The sketch was amazing, even in its primitive stages. It was easy to appreciate art seeing he was awful at making a masterpiece himself.

Schemeko, wasn't a fan of dead prey, he much perferred live catches. He always enjoyed any type of animal wriggling and writhing in pain as he would slowly chew them up hearing their cries of anguish. It served two appetites when he ate live prey, his hunger for sustinance and his hunger for pleasure. Albeit, it was a sick and twisted pleasure as the slightly psychotic Hemlock can't tell the difference between pain and pleasure. Still Schemeko was famished as he ate the stomach in a few bites. Schemeko wasn't concerned with small bites, a Hemlock's stomach acids are much more corrosive than any other pack. In fact Schemeko was one of the few wolves to use this corrosive material by throwing it up and mixing it with venom from the contents of their saliva. Very unique, as the corrosive acid dissolves as toxins are released into the bloodstream that has been melted open. Schemeko particulary enjoyed using the ability even though it is a little bit painful when vomiting acid upon an opponent, escpecially the heatburn that comes with it. As he looked over Schemeko noticed Cerise's artistic abilities.

"My thats is beautiful work there Cerise, very impressive!" Schemeko said with his toothy grin.

Schemeko, didn't like Mydnyte's response but he isn't going to argue with a Kamarian, that would be particularly bad for your health. Schemeko, hearing of the latest weather report, he began to grow anxious as the Sun began to penetrate that storm clouds. Soon enough he may be able to have everyone play a little game.

Cerise watched as Rakunam had left the cave and ran towards a howl in another direction. She turns her head to face Nova. "I wonder who that could be..." she says quietly before turning her head back to the mouth of the cave. The howl was deep and loud so it had to have been a Tenneth. Either that or a Dimitrios.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rashid chuckled as screams of agony and pain filled his ears, but this was all completely interrupted when a sudden yell, not a scream, penetrated the cries. Rashid growled and got up from his pillow and made his way towards the yell. On the way he called to some of the guards and they quickly followed. The loud clanking of his armor could be heard all through out the cave and, as if on cue, everyone went silent. He looked over a small cliff inside the cave and saw none other than a Kamarian alpha. Rashid grins menacingly before he quickly flies down in front of the alpha creating a gust of wind around them as his paws set down on the ground. He folds his wings up slowly. "Oh... And what proposition do you have in mind oh great Kaveh...?" He says darkly.

Mydnyte's tail bristled when he saw the water wall Nova had created explode into mist and he quickly used some of the darkness of the cave to send out a giant, shadowy claw towards Erebus from his body. He didn't know who Erebus was, but he knew that if the wolf was trying to break past the wall now around their home he meant bad news. He stopped the giant claw in front of Erebus and said, "I hate the people in this cave, but I hate it even more that you're disturbing us all, especially me. You make one step closer to this cave and I'm sure about five wolves will kill you in an instant. I intend to take you down first though." Mydnyte gloated to Erebus as he looked out into his gray, pupil-less eyes. To outsiders looking into the cave it was very hard to see anything on Mydnyte except the few red streaks of fur on his tail or the red color of his eyes.

Mydnyte dragged the shadow claw back towards himself pulling up dirt and he did and leaving huge marks on the ground. He wanted his threat to have emphasis and he was about make sure that Erebus got the message. To him it seemed strange though that so many wolves were coming to this cave. He looked back at Schmeko and said, "I know you like to joke a lot from the limited time I've spent here so isn't the time you're supposed to say something like, "Why is it that it seems like everyone wants this cave? It's just a cave!" Mydnyte hardly showed humor, but he figured since Schmeko was slightly shocked by Erebus's sudden coming here that he wouldn't have time to say much yet to the wolf.

"Is that one fire wolf here? If he is have him shoot a fireball back at this wannabee wolf." Mydnyte insisted as he turned his head back towards Erebus.

(Is Rokunam here in the cave?)

"Actually, I might turn out our lights." Mydnyte said as he sucked the dark claw quickly back into his body. Very slowly he exerted more dark energy from the area around him and dimmed the cave they were in to the point no wolf could even see their pupils if they looked in on the cave. "Give me one moment..." Mydnyte said as he used this brief cover of darkness around him. He melted into the shadows he'd created and said to Erebus, "Hello, I've just booby trapped the cave in my own special way. Why don't you take a gander and see what's inside. I assure you it won't be pleasant. Schmeko goad him in here since you're such a joke maker I'm he wants to hear your incessant banter rather than mine. All I have to say to him is he's a dumb wolf for coming here."

(Um, I don't get this. Why do you make so many places in the role play, but not post in them? Most of the posts seem to be in Nigerius Lands. By the way, you put Kaveh into two posts where he wasn't actually supposed to be. I'm sorry if I'm a little mean sounding, but I just want to make sure I get things right here and you have things right and nobody gets confused about anyone else's characters. I suppose at least now people whose characters I tagged in my own post by accident will know what's happening in the cave...)

"Oh, boy, we've got smoke in the cave. I'm actually still wounded you know on my back and I've integrated myself with the shadows along the walls. Do you have any idea how bad the smoke smell is?" Mydnyte complained as his power suddenly drained from him and he collapsed to the ground at the back of the cave.

"This is definitely bad... Can anyone dig a hole out of here?" he uttered as he coughed up a ton of smoke.
--
Meanwhile, not too far away Durandel had walked away from the dead Kamarian he had found, following the tracks left by the other two Kamarians gone hunting for Mydnyte, he heard the familiar sound of erupting flames as he came into the view of the not too distant cave that Cerise and her group occupied. "Now I wonder why there are so many wolves out here?" he thought as he looked on Erebus's group from a short distance away and decided to shoot out lava energy from his mouth. Within a few seconds he gathered the heat in his mouth and let it loose upon the ground about ten feet from Erebus. If the wolf had any brains he would take note of Durandel and run.

Cerise was drifting in complete blackness until a voice in the back of her head started to repeat to her. Wake up...Wake up...Wake up... Wake up...! It gradually became more and more louder until it was strictly commanding her to Wake up. The voice sounded a bit like hers but also like Adolric, the spirit wolf. The voice grew louder and louder before she suddenly awoke breathing and coughing heavily. Once she had calmed down enough she looked up and saw the dead body of a Dimitrios wolf and panicked. Cerise jumped up and flapped her wings which resulted in her falling to the left, which was her bad wing, and landing on the ground. She weakly got up and shakily looked over at her wing and swallowed hard as she saw the burned feathers that were now starting to fall off already. She shook her head and decided to fix this later. Turning her nose to the sky she picked up the scent of sckemeko's foul odor and took off in that direction but not with out turning to Rakunam and thanking him briefly before heading out.
