Ra hadn't been planning on attending this meeting; he no longer considered the title as 'Peace Gatherings' as a rightful description. Peering down from what was left of the cliffs just above the clearing, the sight startled him. Tidbits of words floated up; Death, Blood Shed, Kill, Attack...Luna? It seemed he was further behind than he thought.
A white blur of motion caught his attention, pushing the tortured wolf away. Ra's eyebrows raised. Niko? Getting into the middle of a clan war? It was so unlike him, putting himself in danger in something he was against. But then again, who was he to assume? He wouldn't let an old friend jump in and have all the fun, especially not with some sort of backup. Ra leapt forward, bounding the steep side of the cliff and intercepting the spouts of fire coming from Luna with his own power source. He stayed where he was in front of the former fire alpha, continuing to cancel of the constant flares.
"What is this?" He snapped outloud. "Loners having to interfer, in clan chaos, and at a "peace gathering" nonetheless. I would have thought you all above such."His golden eyes landed on the cloudy yellows of Luna's. He sighed, another clash of their fires sputtering and creating glowing embers on the ground between them. "Apparently not."

Niko sighed in relief at another fire source cancelling Lunas' own. Solar flare or whatever Ra had v. Fire definately pitted him in favor. As long as Ra could keep up the two of them could keep Grizzly safe, the decision was up to Aisu. He glanced over at Shadow and Horjacc eyes widening. He'd missed that.
Growling he glanced from one side to the other, at the moment Shadow seemed to be holding his own, but Niko was planning to keep an eye on him. Glancing back over at Ra he sighed, "Glad to see you could make it." His voice was light as adreneline started to run through his viens. "Luna's not Luna by the way. Freya's messing with her mind or something." Niko gave him a basic summary of what was happening. "You can't attack her right now, wait for Aisu's word to, just keep his fire away from Grizzly." Niko smirked wondering how the smart mouth would take it.
He was already slightly giddy at his peace gathering remark. Casting his eyes over he narrowed his brows watching Aiden attack Freya, but then another wolf at his side. He fought the urge to move Aisu was still here and vulnerable without a power.
"Make your choice alpha." Niko chided, "I got your back. Don't listen to Freya, it runs through your viens. You can make this decision." Sure this was completely out of his range. Niko in the back of his mind couldn't believe he was getting involved in clan affairs, but he knew why. Featherstream. She was a clan member and he was going to protect her no matter what.

Tyche's interference did not make him let go. If anything, he gripped her throat tighter, her disgusting blood taste in his mouth. He opened a mental channel to her, Gripping her mind until it hurt. 'Don't make me hurt you, Tyche. I could cause you such pain that you have mentl damage for the rest of your life, and you will not remember who you are, why you are here, or who destroyed your mind.' Unfortunatly, he could not talk to her without also attempting to distract Freya with mental pain as well, so she knew this was happening.

Alex slashed at Tyche, purposly clipping just her ear. "Get away from AIDEN!" She slashed at Tyche again, letting out a battle cry. This time, she moved past her, not only slashing with her sword, but also snapping with her teeth, both contacting flesh. She then slid in between Aiden and Tyche again, keeping the she-wolf loner from him.

Once she was released Aisu stayed put to hear if Freya had anything more to say, her head turned to her concerned mate as she heard his friendly voice challenge her. Grinning she decided that it was enough and began to follow him "I'll beat you this time!" She yipped and pranced a few steps before noticing that the male didn't follow. She turned and saw a nightmare burst in front of her, Grizzly was being cooked alive by the fire of Luna. The small female shook her head, how could anyone be so cruel? She heard Freya's taunts and her challenge which made the youth whimper and crouch down low-no, how, how could she make her choose something like this?
"That isn't fair!" She growled glaring hard her eyes looked this way and that as she noticed other wolves fighting-for her. It gave her some courage glancing up at the starry sky just to see that maybe her mother or the Gods were watching. Her mother would never abandon her pack, right? Then neither will I She thought trying to ignore the feeling of helplessness that she couldn't protect her mate and Beta.
She watched as Niko pounced at Grizzly blocking him out from Luna's way and as the red wolf, Ra, block out the fire of Luna. But then Niko's words hit like a stone-everything, everyone was relying on her to make the right decision. With a heavy sigh she turned and slowly stepped up to the side of the rock glaring at Freya.
"Enough." She growled hoping that everyone would cease fighting "I will fight you. But you have to promise your word that no one else will interfere. And, there will be no powers involved. A battle of the Old Ways, just pure brute and strength no fancy magics." She announced "If you agree to my terms, I will fight you. And if I win, you must swear to never bring another dead wolf back." Aisu would rather die, painfully and slowly than to fight against her own pack.
The silver Alpha prayed she chose right. Turning her back from the female to face the bickering wolves she held her head high "Enough. This is a Peace Gathering after all." She smiled knowing that it did little good to calm the fray.
"We will fight in the Loner Territory. Do not bring another wolf with you." She ordered before walking back over toward Grizzly-she nodded her head toward Niko and Ra before licking the black wolf's face hoping he wasn't dead.

Horjacc landed on his back and snarled as jaws clamped his throat. he made his fur act as spikes, but a moment too late as he felt his throat ripped by the dark-colored wolf. Stunned, he sputtered, blood leaking out his throat and mouth. He could barely move for a moment. He then saw that the wolf was getting larger, and a moment later, he flipped one of his tails, touching her paw.
Suddenly, he disappeared. The moon suddenly went dark for a moment, and then reappeared, though no clouds covered it. Horjacc, with the light energy he had taken from the moon, and some energy he had taken from the surrounding area, was now healed and ready for battle. But he bent the light around him to land under him, creating the illusion that he was not there. not one movement under paw gave him away, and not one scent was given, though the air blew.
He lunged at Shadow, unnoticed until his jaws clamped down, twice as powerful, on his neck, his teeth seeping venom into his flesh, a slow venom that burned. Horjacc's fur was as spikes, and with each scratch if his claws, which were now sharpened to a point, both intense heat and frost-bitten cold ripped flesh, making the physical pain intense.
At the same time as his physical attack, he launched a mental attack, using the energy around him to drill a hole in the defense sysem Shadow had placed arond his mind.

Watching the over-sized wolf grow Shadow swore, suddenly realizing that he had been distracted from the battle at hand. Seeing the twitch of Horjacc's tail in his peripheral, Shadow began to turn his head but was stopped as sharp pain pierced his throat and then ripped away at his side. His eyes widened in shock as he coughed blood and felt the venom and fresh wounds sear into his body. "H-How?" he managed to choke as his mental barrier was shattered. Thinking quickly Shadow gathered energy from the surrounding darkness and blasted an aura which sent Horjacc flying away from him.
Stumbling slightly Shadow took a mental assessment of his condition before facing His opponent again. 'How did he get this much power so quickly?' his mind raced running through possible strategies. He then remembered the flicker of the tail and the image of the large wolf filled his mind. Thats how he did it. Swearing again Shadow braced himself for another attack, Muttering his incantations as darkness enveloped the two of them and illusionary copies split from his body and disappeared into the veil to surround the Beta. He gasped for breath as his wounds took a heavy toll on his body. His blood dripped onto the ground mixed heavily with Horjacc's burning venom.
Shaking the pain off he focused his mind and made the illusions into solid copies. They circled the Beta, just outside of his field of vision through the shaded shroud which engulfed them all. His eyes glowing silver, Shadow spoke again as more illusions were summoned. Demons, Rocs, Bears, Tigers, and Monsters of every form shape and size appeared before him. An army of shadow creatures prowled through the veil, leaping upon the Beta. They lunged and tore at his flesh before retreating into the hazy cloak to allow another group to charge forth and attack in its stead.

Horjacc felt himself thrown, but now that he had broken through the mental barrier, he refused to release his grip on it, and instead continued to drill, though it somewhat slowed when he landed. He sensed the wolf preparing to attack and attacking as he picked himself up, and felt his flesh beginning to be torn. He continued to absorb energy, though now he knew not where it came from. He continuously healed himself, feeling around Shadow's mind. As he did so, he sensed around for the source of the moving energy. He sensed what seemed like other beings there, but he knew what they where. He began to whisper to them. 'Why do you listen to him? He's not that powerful! You could be great, and you could be the most powerful of all! Yet he holds you down, keeping you from power and riches. Why do you need him?' He jumped, dodging the next wave of attacks. He had found the real Shadow and extended his claws to sear his flesh. He dug deeper into Shadow's mind, trying to keep from being thrown out by Shadow himself. 'If you were in control, there would be no reason for us to fight, as you would be leader, and I would have to obey you, and all would fear you.'

Nokida Roared from the sidelines her eyes turning to pure ice. she let out a howl before her fourm colapsed heavily, a stream of water flowing from her body towards Shadow and gathering around his feet. 'don't give up shadow..' her whisper was int he air as the water that had come from her body slowly started to creep into Shadows fur 'I'll lend you my strength' to Shadow it would have seemed like a whisper in his ear. Nokidas body began to coat it's self in a thick layer of ice, her bady curling into a ball before it had completely frozen.

Letting a slow smirk play across his maw Shadow dodged left to avoid the incoming attack from Horjacc. He'd taken the bait, How predictable. Knowing that his opponents first thought would be to try and turn his creatures against him, Shadow had created what seemed to be actual consciousness in each of them. However, they were truly a mental snare. His creations had no minds. He muttered again as, thanks to Horjacc's attempts to probe in the 'minds' of his creatures, he fractioned Horjaccs mental assault and sealed him from his mind and within the mental cage he had created. "Sorry Fido, My thoughts aren't for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy a little timeout for your mind." With that he sealed the trap with the Betas mind inside and called forth a massive bear which emerged from the mist and slammed a meaty paw down onto his ribcage, crushing him into the earth before retreating back with a roar. 'That should by me a few seconds' he thought with a satisfied grin.
Now that he had successfully removed Horjacc from his mind, Horjacc truly would be fighting blind. Making several identical copies of himself Shadow positioned them throughout the veil. Coordinating the fighting creatures to appear as if under their control, Shadow breathed a small sigh of relief as he tended his wounds and assessed the situation. Shadows vision blurred slightly as the blood loss was catching up with him. He stumbled back, retreating into the veil as to keep Horjacc guessing where the true Shadow was. As he sent more creatures in to attack he wondered. 'How does he keep regenerating?' Wildly scanning the surrounding crowd for anyone with a healing power that might have been taken Shadow began to deeply worry about his position in this match. How could he win if he couldn't do any damage? Short of destroying his body in its entirety. And even then he might regenerate from the mind fragments sealed away in the snare. A roar suddenly permeated the shaded arena he had created and Shadow's ears perked. He recognized that roar. "Nokida?" He whispered quietly as he felt the cold creep around him and into his body, strengthening him and sealing his wounds. "Thanks love" his voice was soft as he spoke the words. "I wont be too much longer." Straightening his body he shook the frost from his fur with a grin and Cleared his thoat. His voice sounded from everywhere and nowhere at once. "Change of plans kid. I cant die today. I've got a mate, and soon pups that need tending to."

Cursing himself, he realized too late that he had been caught in a trap. He felt himself be crushed by the paw of a bear, but he didn't stay down long, as the combination of Freya's Cosmic power allowing him to regenerate almost instantaneously and the energy absorbing power he had just borrowed from the large wolf allowing him to continuously use the power without becoming tired. He laughed and used the extra energy he had been storing to break partially away from the trap, but at the cost that he had no longer been able to enter Shadow's mind. At least not now. "Very clever, Shadow." He spat the name out like an insult. "But you've forgotten one thing. I can mimic you, thanks to the power Freya lent me last Gathering." He began to generate copies of himself, but using the opposite power: Light, so shadow couldn't feel the movements of the power. Blocking his mind now, he first covered himself in the same light, then after generating many copies, he leapt here and there, his copies doing the same, so that no longer was he able to be sighted. They all laughed, and they growled out, "I doubt your pups would even like you. You can't even defeat me or freya without the help of your 'voices.' Try to find me now you pathetic excuse for a wolf, if you can." Remembering how shadow had also formed those dark animals, he called upon the foces of Freya's and Brightfang's powers combined and formed creatures such as the mythical creatures Pheonix and Sphinx. The Sphinx and Pheonix was joined by one creature not as mythical, the polar bear, much larger than a lion, and other assortments of animals. They laughed, and he made all of them attack Shadow's own force, him leaping with them to keep him guessing which was which.

Aiden's eyes returned to Freya as he heard Aisu speak, after Alex stared to defend him. 'So what will you do Freya? Will you call off your dogs? or will you continue to wreck havoc here?' His eyes went to slits. 'You will not get far if you choose the later, no matter how many times i must stop you to make you to see it'

Featherstream walked, distracted to the gathering. she hated walking. she hadn't been able to try flying yet, so she was still unsure whether or not her wings would show she sighed knowing she was late, and thought back to the meeting between the three of them, Aiden, Niko and herself. What a day that was. Aiden trying to get her forgivness not for himself, but for her, and Niko's admittance to her. She blinked, realizing she was smiling, and forced the smile to fade. She was still unsure what was happening between the two of them.
She suddenly snapped out of her trance. 'Blood?' she thought. suddenly full of fear, she ran as fast as she could, beginning to hear the sounds of battle. She sped up and slid to a stop at the edge of the clearing. Her eyes grew wide, horrified. "No..." She looked around to see Aiden pinning down Freya, A shadow arena where Shadow attacked what smelled like Horjacc, A large wolf that continued to grow, Iceflame, who seemed to be having an inner battle, and Grizzly being attacked by- she could hardly beleive her eyes- Luna, one who everyone knew was dead. Niko also was attacking him, but he didn't really seem to harm him in the way Luna was trying to. She launched herself forward as Ra blocked the fire, and felt her wings grow out. Automatically, it seemed, she took off through the air, flying just above the battles, swooped down and grabbed Grizzly off the ground by the scruff, trying her best to also hold onto him with her paws. She dropped him on the ground away from the attacking wolves and flew back toward Aisu. "What in the world happened here?" she gasped, hardly believing the scene before her.

Niko stared at Aisu keeping his comments to himself. Had she been an older wolf he would have appluaded her, but she was young. Fighting Freya would have her a great disadvantage as far as expierence went, even if they both agreed not to use thier powers. He moved to the side accepting her nod, but his eyes were still focued on Luna, waiting to see if there was going to be another attack or Freya would call her off.
The commotion with Shadow caught his attention and he growled low in his throat, but he needed to protect Aisu and Grizzly. He smirked to himself when Shadow started to control the situation again before Horjacc pulled some more of his tricks. Hell even Freya was having issues with two crazy females and Aiden. He caught sight of Featherstream and his stomach turned. He needed to stop this before she could get invovled.
"Aisu said Peace Gathering," Niko barked before throwing his head up in a howl, "Is this all you are capable of doing?" His question was thrown at all of them as his eyes darted from side to side weary.

Tyche snarled as she moved aside at Alex's attack. Water swirled around her cleaning/sealing the wounds and creating a sheild like prescence. "If you think for one second that your power scares me Aiden then your wrong. I could never forget why I'm here. It's the reason for my existence." She was telling the truth and even as she said the words worked her power.
Water moved from the earth and around Aiden's head sealing it away from oxygen. "I'll drown you. Let her go or you're dead." She kept an eye on Alex, but concentrated her efforts on Aiden. It didn't matter what happened to her at the moment, she just could not stand aside and see someone so beautiful hurt.
She heard the young alpha and knew Aiden would stop the attack. When he did she let go of her power the water falling back to the earth and inched her way towards Freya. She was sure Freya could handle Aiden, but her eyes had a constant lock on the bitch (I mean this as a female dog) in front of her.

As he listened to Horjacc's insults and watched his display, Shadow hung his head and sighed. Looking up sadly he spoke a single word. The illusionary creatures he had created imploded and became vortexes which swallowed the light and created a massive energy blast draining Horjacc's power to absoulute zero at the cost of eliminating his shaded arena. "A cheap imitation is nothing compared to the original." He said quietly. He had removed his entire illusion in exchange for this. As this occured he heard Niko's voice shout the small Alphas wishes for the fighting to stop. Turning away from the now powerless Beta he walked slowly towards Aisu and gave a full bow. A rare occurence to any wolf. "My apologies Milady, I am finished."
Turning with sad eyes to look upon his former opponent he said in a pitying tone. "You are powerful. I hope one day you learn to draw strength from your own abilities, rather than borrow the ones of others.

Freya watched as Aiden leaped at her and pinned her down. She had to give him credit, he had guts but he wasnt as strong as her, no one was as strong as her, not even the wolf taking her energy. She put a stop to the large wolf's powers by putting a shield up, preventing the transfering of energy. She was about to move and reverse the situation with Aiden when she heard another pipe up. Tyche and then another voice. What suprised her was the fact Tyche was trying to help her, or so it seemed. She was grateful for that and as soon as the loner used her powers, she forced herself from his grip, scratching him as she rolled over and stood. In an instant she had revesed their position, this time she had his throat in her mouth, but unlike him, she bit down hard. 'Thankyou Tyche. If you require help with the one defending Aiden, just ask,' she spoke to Tyche in her mind. She would help out the wolf that helped her.
Turning back to Aisu she noticed Grizzly was gone, moved somewhere else. "You say you wish to challange me. I specifically said no interference and that included the time you had making your decision but just about everyone interefered. The deal is off, Grizzly shall die. The pain in his head cant be stopped except by me. It will slowly kill him until i finish him off. I'll do it when you least expect it. Enjoy the last few days or weeks with him while you can," she snarled at Aisu as she removed her mouth from Aiden, nudging him, hoping he'd fall from the rock. "You have everyone here to thank for your mate's death," she finished before turning to Horjacc, feeling the blood dry on her fur. Thanks to Aiden she now needed a bath. She looked down at Luna, not a drop of blood on her, that was good. It allowed her to heal her own neck without having to worry about another. She caught a few murderous glares and she laughed. "Does the fact that i cant die ever sink into your thick heads?" she asked them.

"if anyone even thinks to attack my dear Luna here, the deal is off and your precious Grizzly will still die along with the one that attcks Luna. Niko quoted Freya's words angry as he advanced towards the demon wolf and Luna. He positioned himself between Luna and Featherstream especially. Freya was a coward. She wouldn't attack herself, but use Luna to do the dirty work.
"Those were your words. Ra and I did not attack Luna, no one touched her. I attacked Grizzly and Ra shot off at a fireball." He snapped his mouth, "Come on now Freya, you're a lot of things but are you a liar too?" He decided to play a different approach this time working her from a new angle. "I mean how do you plan for your pack members to respect you as an alpha if you can't even follow your own rules." He was sounding like his old self again, but glared at Freya with a new intensity. He made sure to only glance at Luna every now and then.
"Everyone has a weakness Freya remember that. You are not a god if Grizzly dies then your head is next on everyone's list. Can you take us all on?" He taunted her, "Or are you just a coward?" He wished Featherstream had never come. Now his involvement with clans was deeper. Normal Niko would have left it at that-Grizzly could fend for himself, but he wanted to keep Freya focused on him not to start another fight or at least focused on talking.
