From the endless, dank and dark caverns of Shinkou Ookami, Endymion flew, with his companion Amnesia close behind. His great forewings were struck outward in a graceful angle, whilst the smaller wings flittered some to keep him in the air.
The ocean of Escavus seemed endless to Endymion, but his gut told him to keep going South. The farther away from the north and western countries they were going, the happier the great beast seem to be, but also tired from the long expedition he set for he, his sister, and Amnesia. He was leading, setting his great wings beating the air so that the air currents kept Amnesia in the air - and, so she could hear the direction of which he was going.
For many hours, Endymion did not stop. It has been too long, and hardly any land was seen. He was not afraid, however. His wings were built in such a way to keep him in the air for a long period of time. The sun was speedily setting fast now, and the dark ocean beneath him sparkled their last moments before that great flaming orb in the sky dissapeared to the earth below.
"I have never gone this far," came his voice loudly, over his shoulder so it could reach Amnesia's ears, "at least before."
He then spoke more softly, to Marahis. "Give birth on my back and I'll never forgive you," said he, in a gruff manner, but it was obvious that he was kidding around. Endymion seem to have been in a lighter mood in this whole journey, but his demeanor did not change. He was as cynical as always. "Hang in there. I know we must reach land soon. We have gone too far for too long... For at least over a day, and not rested. Oh, the joys of migration. Amnesia... with your powerful nose, let me know immediately if you smell land."

With her four wings, the white demoness took flight, making sure she was always in Endymion’s wake. They left the ancient caverns of the Shinkou Ookami packlands far behind. Time passed; hours and miles melted away on their wings. They flew on. Though they did not stop, Amnesia was not tired; her wings pumped and pushed her steadily on, the wind caressing her pure white fur.
She could not see what Endy saw. The sparkling dark ocean of Escavas, the setting sun, the rising purple moon—all were unknown to the blind demon. The only way she knew they were flying above water in the first was because she could hear the waves far below them, and could smell the sea. Even as there seemed to be no land for a long time, Amnesia, like her companion Endy, was undaunted. There will be land up ahead.
Her prediction came true only about an hour after Endymion asked her to sense any land. “I smell it,” she called to them. “There is an earthy smell below us. It has a cold smell to it, as if this land does not see the sun very often. I know not what it looks like, but it will suffice. We are very far away from Shinkou Ookami now. It would be best if we landed.”
Without waiting for a reply from the siblings, Amnesia angled her wings and descended. Before long, she could hear as well as smell the land: the wind whistling through the trees and stirring up the dirt on the ground. She slowed herself down, and gently landed on the foreign territory. There was no other living creature nearby, except for a few small rodent-like creatures. This island, then, was full of prey but no predators. Amnesia’s nostrils flared as she “examined” the land with her sense of smell. It seemed…right somehow. Amnesia did not usually trust to unreasonable things like instinct and intuition, but now she felt this was the best place they could find, even if they had flown on for days on end.
“A new beginning,” she reflected aloud while waiting for Endymion and Marahis to join her.

The ebony lithe figure laid between the massive wings of her brother as they took flight. Marahis felt some what anxious and excited that they would leave far, far away from the wretched Shinkou Ookami. The fae has become tired of the land and of it's laws. She no longer wanted to feel like a fugitive that had to hide from the heiarchy of the land. Though mingled in her mind. Simple thoughts that occupied her time but soon she realized they have been in flight for much too long.
The hours passed and day turned to a devilish night. Marahis felt the coolness in the air as she snugged herself deeper into the nape of her brother. The smell of salt and water filled her nostrils. Why are we crossing the Ocean? she thought to herself. It was odd but she did not say anything about it. She trusted her brother and waited to see where he was to take her.
Sounds. At first mumbles and then the pondering Mara focused into what the ivory beast and the blind fae were saying. Something about that they must find land soon. Then a remark marked towards Mara. A joke- from her brother. A small laughter escaped her chasm. "Endy, I promise you that my birth will happen on land and not on your back."
Thoughts began to cloud her mind agian. She looked over to her belly and realized she is about due. Oh gosh. Her somewhat single normal peaceful day are to be over. Now they are going to be taken over by the pups that birth from her. She cringed slightly. Mara definately didn't feel ready to be a mother. Not at her young age. Not a single mother. maybe there still was hope that the father would appear.
'Land.' She heard those words come from Amnesia. Ear suddenly perked up as she looked over the shoulder of Endy to see if it was true or not. It's true! her dragonic tail beat slightly in glee as she was cramping up from laying in the same position for hours. But the topography. Strange. Barely any light. and silence. The only sounds came from the inhabitances. the strange birds in the trees.

Unbeknown to the small group that so wondrously soared through the air, they were not alone. Far below them, flying as close to the surface of the earth as one could manage, traveled a lone creature. A beast of a most horrible sight to see. Black and red pelt had been replaced by a beautiful mix of scales and pelt. The later was the red streaks which sprouted forth from between the oily black, diamond shaped protective layer. Long, pearly fangs which glistened with saliva produced from beneath black lips, curling backward toward the creature's jaw. Leathery, black wings beat at the air making hardly a noise. Eyes of the deepest of reds would look up occasionally to look at the shadowy dots that were the ones he trailed. They held the answers he sought, and he would not rest until he achieved him.
This creature was indeed the spitting image of his father. His father who had been the brother to the maniacal Ryannkstu. However this masculine knew nothing of his pedigree, which was the very thing he sought answers to. Lately he had been feeling different. His slumbers had been plagued with scenes of battle and bloodshed. What surprised him most was the way he found himself excited by these images. To a 'moral' creature they would seem horrible sights. However to this brute such images were beautiful to him. They seemed to well orchestrated, sometimes causing him to imagine symphony music in tune with the slaughterings. His mind was becoming sadistic, inheriting the trait that seemed to take a hold of many of his family. However he was only half of his father, and still was not as insane as his paternal figure.
What made this creature easily recognized to any who knew him before his final transformation was the items that he bore upon his body. Wrapped around his neck was a sinister chain of ivory fangs. The largest measured to be around six inches long and bounced off his sinuous chest. His belief was that for each foe he felled, he was to keep a piece of them. Keeping that piece would pour forth their skill and power into himself. He was half right in that belief. In keeping these trinkets he allowed himself to become stronger. A dark, ancient magic caused him to take his victims' very souls when he removed their fangs. Those souls had a one time use with which he could drain the power. He had of course yet to tap into the power of the largest fang which had not come from one of his victims, but from his father.
The second of such items that he kept with him was a sword. It was in the classic cross-hilt form, the pommel stone a tear-drop ruby. The blade was left bare and shone brightly when light cascaded upon it's surface. A pair of gouges were set into the metal, telling the tale of when this mascu had entered a battle and the sword had saved his life from what would have been a fatal blow to his spinal column. The final thing that made his identification easy was the mark he bore on his right foreleg. It was cast into his very flesh, right down to the bone. The design was made of gold, depicting a serpent curled about a sinister dagger. Long ago this mark had meant death and torture to those who looked upon it. It had been the mark of the Elite. Now many bore it to signify that they were Defenders, but this mascu simply kept it because it held magic that allowed him to tell when his once-upon-a-time comrades were near.
A snort left from his nostrils as he too found that land was approaching. The scent of sparse foliage and the stink of soil contrasted with the salty air of the sea to which he had grown accustomed to over the few hours. Slowly he flicked his scaled and furred tail behind him, using it as a means to help steer himself through the air. Those wings continued to flap slowly, gracefully. Again his gaze darted up to the ones who followed him. Last time he had been kind, peaceful in asking his questions. However they had only treated him with malice and generally ignored him. Not this time however. Oh no. He would make sure they told him what he wanted to know. He would not depart from their lives until his questions were answered. DeathBlood was determined.

It had been many long hours now, and silence fell over the small cluster of pilgrims. Endymion didn't speak, but flew in a graceful glide, pacified by the wind rustling his ears like song. Oblivious to the perfectly round lavender moon in the heavens, he'd soon realize that his whole body was envoloped by a rich purple glow. He looked up. That moon... It was a moon he had never seen before. It made no difference to him, however; as callous as he was, nothing seem to ever surprise his cold heart. It was obvious by now that with what speed they possessed, they had reached a far away, distant country, and rather chilly though it was Spring.
His brows were furrowed as he busied himself with his own private thoughts.
Amnesia soon snapped him out of his reverie. He looked around at her with a cool gaze. Land was finally zipping on by beneath them. Following her lead, he spiraled down after her. He tore through the thick layer of cumulous clouds, escaping the last few rays of the distant sun over the hundred hills yonder. The bizarre moon also dissapeared momentarily as he parted from the cloud. He cleared his eyes from the mist before hurtling a bit gently to the earth. In no time at all, huge paws met with land.
The first thing that Endymion had noticed about this land, was that it was indeed a world he had never seen before. The grass was silver in colour, and seem to catch the light from the moon and thus glittered as the cold wind sauntered through them. It was so strange. Dark trees tore high into the heavens, each one of them bearing a deep and dark mystery of their own, with intriguing noises that belonged to the creatures of the forest. Nothing seemed too disturbed since their arival here.
Captivating rocks and boulders, of which were all an interesting multi-coloured hue, jutted like ribs, curled and twisted in every direction imaginable. They were lain up in scattered intervals. In the far off distance, craggy canyons rose high, with peculiar small winged creatures encircling them and calling out in a hair-raising song.
He would lower himself, to allow Marahis to climb off of him. Endymion was pleased with this territory. He was anxious to take it. He would turn to his sister, and Amnesia.
"We will claim this land, then, as our very own territory," growled Endymion, "and rule this part of earth. We'll protect it, and make our own laws - we will then be a rebel land, where outside social order will be considered unnatural and disliked. First I will decree, that we are all equal, and none will be ruled by one or two Alphas - all will be Alphas! We have the right to be ruled by ourselves, and not by one or two wolves."

Amnesia heard Endymion with Marahis land beside her, and waited while they examined the land. She could not see the mountainous terrain, the deep violet moon, or any of the other fantastic yet eerie scenery that adorned this new land. But she could feel the silence, the darkness, the cold…the tranquility. Yes, she thought to herself, This is the perfect place. Amnesia did not believe in a utopian land, but she understood this was the best they were going to get within the limits of imperfection.
As if he could sense her thoughts, Endymion began to speak, his decrees ringing out in the frigid, still air. She listened and approved of his reasoning. “Yes, let this be a land where all who who desire so will join,” she agreed. “But let me add to that first right, Endy. I decree that all creatures who wish to be a part of this territory must be able to love their own self-righteousness. Rationality over emotion. Sense over sensitivity. Let them be uninhibited by their feelings of incompetence and fear. Such foolish emotions will not be tolerated.” She nodded firmly. She would stand by her decree.
She twitched her ears and listened to the land as it rang with the echoes of their powerful words. The sounds of the decrees reverberated, as if the very trees and mountains were whispering the new commands to one another, accepting them and passing them on, excited by the news. She nodded in approval. Yes, this was a good place to be. She continued to listen, and heard Mara’s heavy breathing, and figured that their fellow was approaching labor very soon. She continued to listen, and heard that they were not as alone as they had originally imagined. Her nostrils flared and she caught the scent of a creature very similar to the one who had followed them around back at Shinkou. Yet it was different. Less distasteful than before. An encounter was imminent, so Amnesia refrained from mentioning his presence. They would meet when they would meet.
“Let this land be home to all who seek it,” she said softly. “Mara, your pups.”

As the three would find this new and spectacular yet dark new land, and speak of it, lying down the rules that would follow, and even another soon to join their party coming, they perhaps would not know of someone else. Though Deathblood followed, seeking answers to his past, refusing to give up untill he got them, he wasn't the only one. Back, rather soon after they had first left the lands of Shinkou Ookami, did a traveler see Deathblood leaving. He had followed them, all the way since then, or rather, followed Deathblood, in curiosity of where the other was going. Who knew why he had just curiosity in the other's whereabouts, but he had.
This creature was no ordinary hellion or wolfen of any kind at all. His pelt was deep ebony in color, fur thick, giving more bulk to his appearance, and shimmering scales flowed down his chest and underbelly, also along his neck and high on his legs. Though it perhaps would only be seen by someone observant, deep in his neck, underneath his thick peltage of fur was a hideous looking scar, earned in a fierce battle of his past. His great wings that carried him were enormous in size. Sharp bones rse from his upper back, and sharply curving downward. Down from the bone was attached paper thin skin linking between each sharply pointed bone, claws gleaming off of each tip. Shreds dangled from the wings giving a ghostly appearance to them. The places where his wings connected with his flesh looked as though his wings sprouted through a terrible and painful process, the skin scabbed thickly, and ladden over with thinner fur that had grown there. From his neck dangled a large, metal viper's head, mouth opened and fangs showing sharply, upon the end of dark chains burried in his fur.
The beat of his wings was greatly droned out by the roar of the ocean waves below them, for he flew much lower than the ones far ahead of him, being as he was following Deathblood. Lime green eyes carrying deep, purple cat-like slits for pupils, glanced downward at the sea below him, then up at the one he followed. How long had they been flying like this? It didn't matter. He could fly for long periods of time, due to the build of his wings. He knew not of the other three that Deathblood was indeed following, but he would perhaps learn of them in due time. Yet, it seemed land would be coming nearer and nearer their paws quite soon...

ooc; chirst of mally man! i spent a good 45 minutes typinf a glorious post and when i click, it disppeared on me! so ya. this is the cheaper version. sorry.
when the opportunity came the swollen ebony fae lept from the ivory nape of her younger, but much older brother, to fall towards the ground. Figure heaved to the silvery grass as her wight was to the max.
Marahis fell silent for a while as opticals took their time to respond and view the new territory they have come upon. She looked from the silvery blades on the ground to the twisted multi-hued spiritual rocks to the sky-high chanting, howling trees. Mara sensed that this might be the new beginning she was looking for. It felt 'good'.
Traingular hearkens listened to the calim of the land her brother made. and then to the first decree. she paused and re-examined the words; memorizing them. then amnesia spoke the second decree; just as important as the first. another pause. now mara felt like it was her turn. she took the risk of walking out the furtest into the silvery field with the twisted rocks. Each placement of her paw was carefully debated over. When she got out 20 feet or so away from the two others she turned around to face them both. "And let me decree that we should all live in prosperity and abundance be you a canine, dragon, hybrid or whatever creature. Let us not feel hunger within our souls and stomachs." Words were powerful like Endy's and Amne's.
She traveled back down the same path she made to the two others. Head realed around to look at the sky- that lavender sky. Oh how she adored the moon in this new home of theirs. She has never seen something of this sort. Hearkens fell back when words were directed tpwards her. Soft emerald opticals looked at Amnesia as she spoke of her pups. Marahis knew the time was drawing near. Why she knew it because of all the contractions she has been feeling for a bit now. "I guess I should seek out a den of some sort to birth and take care of my babies." Words were soft and subtle. A hint of fright hidden within them. Being a new mother scared her..

Rocks crunched under heavy paws as the abomination landed. For now, he decided to crouch within the shadows (which were after all abundant) and wait for his opportunity. Deep red irises shrunk as his black pupils grew in order to take in more of the sparse light so essential to the sense of sight. The mascu did nothing to disguise his landing, not paying attention to the fangs that clattered around his neck with the slight force of touching ground. Indeed this terrain was interesting to him, giving one of his mindset the sort of comfort and fulfillment. If it wasn't so far away from that of which he was interested in, he might have considered staying. Yet he knew he couldn't nor wouldn't want to in the end. To him these lands were interesting, but they were also too bare, too isolated, too dark even.
In complete silence this barbaric creature listened to the other. He had expected the monologues each creature put out, having watched their bodies prepare for the act of speech. Hearing the decrees they put forth caused his black lips to lift into a smirk. Oh how ignorant these beasts before him must be. Even he had enough knowledge of human society to place the proper name on the government they were setting forth, communism. Indeed, it was a great plan when in the minds of the planners. However no matter how many devices they would put up to prevent it's demise, such ruler-ship would not last and would cause these lands to become a chaotic scene. Now that was what this place needed. Friends slaughtering friends, family backstabbing family. Perhaps he would come back later after he had done what he needed to just to watch the fun.
As he thought about these things, DeathBlood noticed two things. The first was the changes his mind had succumb to. He felt more free, more in charge of his own body and mind. The creature knew that just a year ago he might have been appalled by the way that he was viewing such things. It made him have to suppress a chuckle, thinking of how he had been that is. Even though he liked the way he had changed, he still did not let himself lull into a state of stupidity. That would not do at all. The second thing that he noticed was a creature nearby, not one of the three he had been following. Earlier he had caught the scent, but had dismissed it as nothing. Just because the creature, who ever they were, had followed him didn't make them a threat. However one thing that was pressing upon him was that the same wind which had carried his little message would also deliver his scent to the group. Time to make his appearance.
With that, DeathBlood approached with a lazy pace. His paws fell heavily onto the earth, elongated claws gouging the dirt. Oh how he resembled his father. The spitting image of that bastard beast. Right down to the way that the deep red fur tufted out from around the black scales in a slapdash way. A deep chuckle resonated forth from the beasts chest cavity. It was chilling, cold. The sound might even be familiar to the three he now approached, being similar to any who resided within his pedigree. Soon his lips parted to let that chuckle mutate into an outright laugh. What was it he found so funny again? Oh yes, the ideals and laws they had just instated. Still, he shouldn't let them know why he found it all so amusing. That might ruin his fun for later.
It wasn't long before the beast was in full sight of the group. He did nothing to hide his body, having attained a sort of pride to his new form. Never before had he been so strong, so quick, and so aware. It was as if before he had been boxed in to a certain part of his potential and now he could access any of the power he had within on his discretion. Slowly those ivory, long fangs of his were once more partially covered with his lips. For some time he let them gaze upon him, however not with an arrogant pride. He may like his new form and abilities, but he knew that hardly made him any better of a warrior. All he had now were more toys to use. At last he began to let his voice loose. Noises built up in his breast and shot up into his throat. When they passed his lips, his voice had changed as well. It's tune was fluid, sly, warm, alluring, and startling all rolled into one. "Hey kids, guess who's back."
OOC: Ouch that sucks Lettuce. This post only took ten minutes but I plan my posts in my head. ^_^

A nod of calm approval was given to Amnesia, and then Marahis's laws. "And it will be so. There should be no reason that the future..." For want of better word, Endymion hesitated for a split second. "...tribe, will be corrupt. Our laws are flawless, and our land will flourish the way we want it to. We shall be leader figures, as The Founders; but nothing more."
Endymion was pleased. It was another feeling that he controlled - a feeling that he permitted himself to be released. With that, he trotted over to a large, rather flat surface of a rock, and claimed it for his own bed. It fit nicely for his statuesque size. "Let it be, then, the Tribe of Tribes. The First. Mara, may your pups be... blessed."
Some may find it odd to see that Endymion had not burned anything that was near to him. His hard heart lightened a bit now that things were going his way. There was no need to destroy things that were in his path. That was good enough for this peculiar land he found so endearing.
It was at that moment that the unwelcome stench of a certain cretin became mighty powerful. For a while, Endymion didn't say anything to Amnesia. Though he thought that now that they were to live together, just the three of them; and soon to be more in the company, trust was tight and strong in the group now. Perhaps with Amnesia's strong sense of smell, she may have all ready sniffed Deathblood's unwelcome stink in what used to be a clear air. Finally, as the sound of Deathblood's chuckle was heard, Endymion replied in a very relaxed, though borne from a frosty tone.
"Oh, you're not all that," snorted Endymion as he turned his head to face Deathblood from his perch on his flat rock that shimmered even beneath his unwavering shadow. Having sharp ears, he undoubtedly heard it. One must remember, that he had wolf blood, and wolves can hear far better than men. So a question as to why Endymion, or Marahis and Amnesia could have heard it, would have been a foolish question indeed.
What was decreed was what it became. They were not humans. Deathblood should know better than to mock them for what he doesn't understand. Foolish Deathblood. If Endymion had known what went through Deathblood's mind, he would retaliate just as sardonicly. Deathblood doesn't know, that Endymion can rival his knowledge of this world and the next. Endymion was ambitious, always, and made it his goal to know everything as much as possible.
Endymion was tired of Deathblood's presence. That imbecile... Seeing and hearing Deathblood's pretend of acting like the Big-And-Bad-Wolf-Watch-Out-I'ma- Kill-You-Now was getting old.
"What are you trying to prove to us?" said he, back to his deep, drawling voice. In another reply to Deathblood's impertinent statement, he'd lash out with his voice, without waiting for a reply. "Awefully audacious of you to call us kids. I'm shaking in my big, fluffy paws." Endymion looked at Deathblood callously, his long ears standing erect as if politely waiting for his response. He was imperturbable.

“You need not be afraid of what is natural, Marahis,” Amnesia spoke softly to the soon-to-be mother, somehow sensing the other’s anxiety. “Nature will take its course. You will know what to do, and do it well.” She softened her voice to make her words comforting, reassuring.
Her attention was needed elsewhere, though. The stench of DeathBlood came nearer and nearer, and now Amnesia could even hear him. Nor was she alone. Obviously Endymion had also sensed the intruder, especially when DeathBlood let out a low, vile chuckle. Amnesia could feel the amusement and derision emanating from DeathBlood’s demeanor. She could not see his new form, but she heard the difference in his biorhythms.
Apparently DeathBlood thought that their new laws were ridiculous. Idealistic, without a hint of reality. Ambition, greed, selfishness…all those natural emotions would get in the way of the imagined utopia. Amnesia snorted. “Emotion,” she said. “It kills everything.” She had plans of her own; for each creature that came in hopes to join this First Tribe, she would go through their mind (if they allowed) and eliminate all excessive passions and interfering emotions. Gone with ambition. Gone with greed. Gone with selfishness. She would have none of it. All creatures were better off without them.
“Endy, do not get so temperamental,” Amnesia warned. “DeathBlood is bitter, and seeks entertainment and superiority to make up for what he has been denied in the past. There is a reason he has followed us, and it is not to mock our plans for the future. So.” She twitched her ears in DeathBlood’s direction, her way of fixing him with a steady gaze. “There is a way to get what you seek,” she remarked. “If indeed the insatiable need for knowledge of the past and the vow of vengeance still drive you. You must understand, however, that something must always be sacrificed to get what you want.”
Amnesia was a master of the mind. She knew its many secrets and intricate folds. She did not feign omniscience, however. If ever she was wrong, she would accept it and learn from her mistake. The mind was a slippery thing, impossible to interpret correctly every time.

that soft jingle of metal objects clanking agianst each other. mara at first couldn't pin point it but then it came to her. deathblood. how the bastard found this new place, she did not know nor did she feel like figuring the mystery now. lobes quivered slightly as she listened to where the sounds came from. then she spotted the dark figure looming towards them. oh, she felt her blood starting to boil. how she despised the defenders; traitors or not. one would remeber how she acted when she first saw deathblood. not in the best of manners. if she could she would love to rip the jugular right from her neck. she snorted slightly as the cocky deathblood spoke with an 'all-high-and-mighty' tone of voice. "Hold your tongue deathblood unless you feel like losing it." low and mighty snarls escaped her chasm. figured sensed that yet another was approaching. "Who have you brought alongside with you this time you bilious pigeon?" She remarked the other canine beast that was following Deathblood when in air. thoughts came to her mind. she had to find a den immediately. she could feel that her contractions were getting heavier and heavier and giving birth in the open plains was something of no good. so while Amnesia and Endymion seemed to be speaking to the notorious Deathblood and making their own smart remarks, Mara simply wandered into the un-marked territory. one would say it is stupid of her to be wandering, pregnant, in uncharted land but mara could rally care less. the lithe figure with the buldging belly seemed to have gone far into the silvery field. her eyes seemed to glow some more with each step she took as if this place held some ethereal power. opticals darted from side to side looking fr a den- none. maybe a crevice- none. and definately no nooks and crannies. she paniced for a slight second when she entered the taller grassy area. deep breathe in; the fae sat down with legs splayed trying to be comfortable. nape arched to the aky as she looked to the now darker moon. and beside that main moon where the two other ones. figure seemed to limp over and collapse to the ground as frame fell upon the soft silvery grasses. could it be that this is where she is birth, before the great Moons in the sky? ooc; so i don't know whether it's my turn to post or not, so i did anyways. it's not really important anyways.

Again the beast began to chuckle, amused by the reactions the others had given his arrival. Lazily he leaned to one side, gazing at the group with a slight quirk in the way he held his head. When he spoke, his voice was full of obvious enjoyment at what was going on. "Listen to yourselves. So assumptious as to my intentions and emotions. Bitter you say? Oh I am far from bitter. Is it bitter for one to have a healthy thirst for knowledge? Now it is bitter to greet a guest in such a way. No manners at all among the three of you. Do you think I am insulted by your mocking? Bah. If you do, you are only insulting yourselves. However, I will disclose one things to you all. I would rather appreciate the information I desire. I know at least one of you has to know something. It is more likely to be a bit of knowledge that you have heard more than what you have seen.." With those words his crimson eyes fell upon Amnesia.
With a slight snort, he straightened his figure and once more began to approach with that lazy pace. For a moment he gazed to Marahis who walked off. He knew what was going on. After all, he could understand scents and he had already known she was pregnant. DeathBlood was tempted to follow her, to perhaps instill a little anger into her companions. After all, when a comrade was in danger things tended to slip out. However he did not. Why? His morals of course. He was a proud warrior, one who would not stoop to the level of threatening a female who bore children. It was an atrocious deed to threaten the lives of young, that instinct going all the way back to the beginning of the canis lupus breed.
What brought his attention back was the question posed about his little follower. The question Marahis had voiced earlier and just now he found the need to process within the inner workings of his mind. It was after all a good question, one he did not know the answer to. Yet there were more pressing matters on hand, such as the need to get his desired information. More than likely the creature who had followed him either sought revenge or power. Such creatures he was used to, having fended them off countless times. Upstart assassins and warriors always seemed to find a way to track him down. It was understandable after all. He had fame as an excellent tutor and even more for his chain of fangs, the one fabled to give him all his power. Such rumors were incorrect of course.
Again he brought his gaze to fall on Amnesia, deciding that Endymion could wait for attention. Perhaps he would outright ignore the other mascu, anger him into trying to rid DeathBlood by giving the information he desired. When he truly heard Amnesia's offer, a smirk formed on his lips. The femmora had taken a dangerous move. She allowed him to know the information he desired was within grasp, and he would stop at nothing to get it. For a moment he contemplated grabbing that blind creature and running off to a place where he could torture the words he so hungered for from her lips. Yet how much fun would that be? Besides, he would loose the opportunity to witness whatever power this creature held. For he had no doubt she wished to use her abilities on him.
His black lips raised up to reveal his ivory fangs which so profusely glistened with saliva. Such and expression was not a snarl or one of malice, but what could resemble a grin. When he spoke, his words were a bluff but one that was nearly impossible to detect. "I understand the rule of which you state. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction and all that bull shit. I'll make you a deal. Tell me what I want or else young blood will paint these lands and I will have new fangs for my collection." There was a pause as he gave a look of contemplation, giving the impression he was tossing an idea about. This was all a planned scheme, one he had formed in but a few moments. "However, if you will simply tell me what I want to know, I will be gone from your lives forever. Never again will you have to endure seeing me or hearing my voice. You can live here in these queer lands with your people and I will be off to continue my quest."

"Are you deaf?" grunted Endymion dryly. "You're not all that. So quit acting like you are. If you want to actually get along with people, drop the stupid intimidation act. You're making the grass uncomfortable. I find that being a little more friendly can get along well with most people. If you can't control your cockiness, then there's no reason to be here, because I have zero tollerance for it. As for whatever you want, go ahead and ask then while we're still young. If you so desire... manners from us, then try being a little more respectful instead of marching in out of the clear blue and calling us kids."

Amnesia sat and listened to DeathBlood’s retaliations, unamused, unimpressed, unmoved, and unoffended. Her senses were reaching out and telling her all kinds of information. She smelled the sweat and blood of Marahis, not far away, about to give birth. She felt Endy bristle at DeathBlood’s confident words. All the while she heard and took in the sense of DeathBlood’s deal. She tilted her head to the side.
“I am not sure you understand what you are getting yourself into,” Amnesia said slowly. “It is not a matter of my simply telling you. I do not know the information which you seek so savagely. You do.” She paused and waited for those words to sink it before going on. “My only part in this is to extract the information from the depths of your mind. I’ll need your willing participation.” She did not tell him that the process was, more often than not, quite painful. If he wanted the information as badly as he claimed to, he would not mind. Plus, if there was pain, it would be his punishment for threatening Mara and her pups. Amnesia may be unemotional, but she was at the very least loyal.
“Relax, Endy,” Amnesia said softly. “He will be gone soon enough. So. Do you accept?” she addressed this last to DeathBlood himself.
