New Territory; New Scents

[blackautumn15]

Caliban walked around the den of the Demon Pack, smelling the scents, old and fresh to get a feel. He had just been made Beta to Freya,t he Demon Alpha and so he was learning the land. It wouldn't be that hard. And there were plenty of shadows and dark places to keep an eye on things and travel. He smiled a dark smile, revealing his white fangs in the dim light.

IT was just turning dusk, barely past twilight outside and he was getting ready to go hunting and set his sent next to Freya's around their borders. Ah, he loved to say that. He now belonged to something and no one stood in his way. He laughed, the sound coming out a barking deep enough to make the shadows themselves shiver. He slowly set out of the den and paused to look at the sunset.

The wind brought the stench of blood. Bones were scattered everywhere. The small stream was tainted red, although she knew that blood was old. Hardly did that stream ever get fresh water, but she didnt care. Soon these lands would belong to her, soon she'd be able to provide clean fresh water for her pack. Speaking of her pack, she had no idea where they were Oh sure she could have howled to them, but then that took the fun out of guessing. She had no need for them at the moment, so why call to them. Stretching her front legs, she yawned lazily as she noticed the sun slowly sinking. Perhaps she ought to head back to the den and so with that she shook the dirt from her fur and made her way to the den. The female wolf heard him before she saw him. Caliban was laughing and she couldnt find anything that was amusing. Maybe he was laughing at the sunset and whilst it was a magnificent sight, she still had no idea what was funny. "What joke have i missed this time," she spoke, annoucing her presence as she moved to stand next to her beta. credits, kiwii at btn!

"My lady, you have missed no joke. I was simply relishing the fact that soon you will control these lands and the creatures in it." he said as his alpha approached. He nodded to her and sat down, making his posture and height lower than hers out of respect. He hadn't actually met Freya yet but he knew from her reputation who he saw before him.

"Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Caliban, your beta for the Demon Pack." he said, bowing his head deeply and leaving his throat vulnerable.

So many wolves these days had little to no respect for those of higher ranking or even those who had a strong power, one that they could use to rid of disrespectful wolves. He would do well to keep the respect up. She flicked her tail, ridding the last of the dirt she could feel within the strands of her fur. She'd have to venture off and bathe soon, she didnt want her fur dulled too much from the dirt. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, noting the position he put himself in. Yes he would go far indeed. "My lady, you have missed no joke. I was simply relishing the fact that soon you will control these lands and the creatures in it." This time she smiled at him, yes she would soon control everything on this island from the tiniest ant to the largest wolf, she would have them all under her control. Was it really considered evil to control them just so that there was peace amongst them, that those with the stronger powers actually got recognition? She didnt think so, but she knew it was not going to be so easy. "Soon, yes whether they want to willingly or if it has to be done by force, they will submit to me and my pack," her voice was strong, passionate. "Allow me to introduce myself to you. I am Caliban, your beta for the Demon Pack." A soft chuckle escaped her lips. Of course she knew who he was, even though she hadnt met him until this very day, she knew about him. She wasnt stupid enough to allow a wolf into her pack without having at least some knowledge on them. "I know who you are, word travels fast here," she replied to him, taking her eyes off the sunset to look at him, his head bowed in a submissive way, "But it is a pleasure to officially meet you, Caliban. I believe you will do great things here in this pack." He was young, easily more trainable than the older ones, yes he would do nicely as her beta, but only time would tell if he could prove it to her. credits, kiwii at btn!

He nodded to her and stood up. Shaking his coat out, he sniffed the air. He could smell prey not too far off and wondered about hunting. He turned his eyes to her again, keeping them lower than hers.
"Would you care for me to hunt for us tonight?" he asked her. He relaxed, letting his body start to stretch out and get ready to run and kill.

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style, background-color: d3d3d3; width: 370px; padding-top: 30; padding-bottom: 30;] Live your own life after all, the possibilities are endless Fang carefully pulled out and divided the herbs she needed from her hidden garden in the loner lands. She probably didn't need them, but it was always good to have in case something started to go wrong. She would dry out each of the herbs when she returned and save them for a rainy day. She paused in her rummaging, pondering. It had been a while since she had seen Etheral's family. Even Aevon, who would sometimes follow her on a walk or a scavenger hunt for herbs. She grimaced, hoping nothing bad had happened to them. Fang observed her work. She pulled over her gathering leaf, which were once two banana tree leaves, but were melded together at the sides by Fang's power. She carefully slid the herbs into the herb pouch. Taking the pouch into her mouth, she then left the small garden, heading back into the Demon Pack lands via the wasteland's. She knew she could have teleported to the den, however, the calm of a walk was much nicer for her to be able to experience. When she returned to the den, she noticed Caliban, their newest member, and Freya speaking with each other. Seeing the two together, she halted and placed the bundle down to pay her respects. She dipped her head, keeping her tail low. "Greetings, Alpha, Beta. I was just passing by to place the herbs I collected into storage. Is there anything you may need?" Though Fang hated Demon Pack, she wasn't stupid. No matter how they acted, a leader was a leader, and authority was always going to be authority. They deserved respect for their ranks, not their greed. That was a lesson Fang had learned at a very young age.

[archimedes]

Yawning sleepily in the evening sunlight, Archimedes shook out his fur as he approached the Demon pack's den. He had just been out and about on one of his usual patrols and was returning home for the evening. As a Warrior, it was part of his job to keep a regular watch over the borders. So far, nothing unusual had happened, and Arch was incredibly bored. Not to mention hungry. His stomach growling uncomfortably, the warrior debated catching himself a snack along the way, but figured it was better to report to his mate first. Sighing with resignation, he took a brief swig of Tea from his pouch before catching a brief scent on a passing breeze. Speaking of Freya, she was near the den. Brightening marginally, Arch grinned lazily and bounded ahead until the Demon alpha came into view. Seated among a few pack mates outside the den, she was a vision for his tired eyes.

Trotting into the impromptu meeting, Arch sidled up beside Freya and gave her a playful little nudge with silent affection. Proper etiquette should probably have been to bow to her and the beta, but Arch wasn't exactly one to stand on principle. His tongue lolling, a bright grin spread over the golden wolf's maw. Finally remembering his manners, Arch dipped his head to the wolves present before frowning slightly in confusion. "So what's wrong with you lot? You're acting like somebody died." That may have been an exaggeration, but they did all seem to be acting a little too prim and proper. To be honest, it made Arch a little uncomfortable. Taking another nervous drink of his tea, Arch grinned across at Fang. The young wolf had grown since he'd first met her, and he enjoyed her company considerably more than he'd enjoyed her fathers.

Thinking back, Arch cocked his head for a moment. Quite a few of his old pack mates had vanished or been killed. It was more than a little unsettling. Shrugging it off, Arch turned his view to the new beta with a grin. He missed Horjacc, but this other wolf seemed to be an alright chap. Of course, he'd been wrong before. Shaking his head with a soft sigh, Arch frowned. He still couldn't imagine Aiden doing what he'd done. At the time he'd been so surprised that he couldn't react in time on either sides behalf. It was all over so quickly, and then two of his pack were dead. He was a warrior, wasn't it part of his job to see stuff like that coming and help in time? Perhaps he was looking at this the wrong way though. He'd lost some friends, but potentially gained some new ones too. Smiling again at the black wolf, Arch spoke. "Evening Mate. You're the new beta right?" His English accent came through with a light tone. Rather opposite from what one would expect from a Demon, and completely opposite from what he was feeling.

Not proud of this post. Gonna need a few to get back in character. :Notes

[ebony]

Wondering in silently on Freya's heels, Ebony began to feel nervous around all the new wolves she was beginning to encounter. When she had first come to the area and meet with Freya, she hadn't seen the numerous wolves that were above her in rank. She could tell that they were having a conversation, so she sank back into her old habits and moved away out of respect. In her mind it wasn't her place to say or do anything that would draw attention to herself unless order by her superior.

However, she wasn't immune to taking notice of the many different kinds of wolves that inhabited the pack. Ebony wasn't use to seeing wolves with varying powers and styles of talking, so she was prone to stare as they addressed one another. In her thoughts, she mused over how strong her alpha must be to control all of these wolves. Though, when see saw the cheery one snuggle up to Freya, she flushed slightly and politely looked away.

To be so open with one's intimacy was also a practice she wasn't familiar with seeing. Though she had gone through a courtship of her own, Ebony had never experienced any true feelings of love or performed in open acts of affection. Nonetheless, she drew her attention back towards the other wolves and tried to get a feel for her new kin.

Freya didnt get the chance to answer her new beta as another interrupted. Fang, her healer. She was a little weary of the healer, but she had yet to do anything that would upset or anger her and well Fang was a decent healer who was always polite to her. "Greetings, Alpha, Beta. I was just passing by to place the herbs I collected into storage. Is there anything you may need?" Always on the job, she thought. "Greetings to you too Fang," she spoke, acknowledging the healer, noticing the herbs at the other wolf's feet. Was there anything she needed? Well having all wolves under her command would be nice, but Fang couldnt provide that for her on her own. "No, there's nothing," she replied finally, looking over at Caliban for a moment before back at Fang. Another soon joined them, her mate. She felt the playful nudge as he moved up beside her. "So what's wrong with you lot? You're acting like somebody died." Freya didnt bother to verbally answer his question, instead she wacked him with her tail. She figured that her new beta at least deserved a proper introduction to the pack and Arch wasnt helping by being playful. Freya glanced around, finding Ebony a little away from the pack. "Ebony come here," she spoke, trying not to sound too harsh. The wolf was a part of this pack and she ought to met the new beta too. "Seeing as we are all here, might as well get the introductions out of the way. This here is Caliban, my new beta," she inclined her head towards the black wolf, expecting everyone to acknowledge him, whether they liked to or not. "Caliban, this is Fang," he nodded towards the wolf with the herbs, "my mate Archimedes, and this little one is Ebony." She inclined her head towards the other two wolves, giving Arch another playful wack on his rump with her tail. credits, kiwii at btn!

Kai heard them before he saw him. His pack it seemed had gathered around the alpha and beta talking amongst themselves. He tilted his head slightly, not in greeting, but to better hear what they were saying. Still ten feet away he heard the young females and a male, but didn't catch the purpose of the dark one. His beta. The other male he figured was a warrior-he looked fit enough, but Kai knew without a word that this was a male he wasn't going to be fond of being around.

Taking the chance not to get involved with his pack Kai stared off into the distance at the other lands looking at the landscape. This peace was starting to destroy his edge. Moving, he ran through a rock coming closer to his pack with steady steps. He could smell his alpha, but it wasn't coming from her. The scent off one of Archimedies made him wrinkle his nose in anger and disgust.

[blackautumn15]

"Greetings everyone. It is nice to finally meet you all." he said, nodding to each as Freya introduced them. He watched the way Archamedies stayed close to the alpha and thought about how it would be to have a mate. Maybe he would one day, but not now. Right now, he wanted to eat and run; to stretch out and know the fear from other animals and wolves.
He turned his head as he sensed another wolf coming closer. He put his nose into the wind, trying to scent and not getting anything. Yet he had a trick up his sleeve. He turned towards the nearest shadow and scented again. This time, he caught the scent and recognized it as Demon Pack but he didn't know this wolf yet. He looked at Freya. "It seems we have one more here to join us Alpha." he said, nodding in the direction he could sense the wolf coming from.

[blackdiamond012]

Kai glanced at the young beta wolf, but paid him no mind. "Freya," Kai acknowledged her presence with a respectful and curt greeting. He planted himself beside the healer of his pack hoping for an order and thirsting for something to do. Kai felt edgy, but it only showed through a small twitch of his tail. He wanted a chance to prove himself-he wanted blood.

"I've been waiting for your orders my lady," Kai's voice was a deep growl. His eyes solely focused on his alpha in devotion without giving an inch to another wolf present. He was aware of their existence and knew just how close within striking distance he was from each member within his pack, but that was all they were worth at the moment.

[ebony]

Ebony heard her leader calling to her in a calm, but firm voice which she quickly responded to by walking over. She was still uncomfortable with being surrounded by so many unfamiliar wolves, but kept her composure low and submissive. Hovering just a little outside of the circle, she listened as each wolf was introduced to the new beta.

When her name was called, Ebony fumbled a little over the care that the alpha put into her introduction. In her mind, acknowledgment by a superior was a great honor when you were an omega and not something to waste. Thus, she straightened herself out and greeted the beta when he turned his attention to her. "It's an honor to serve under you, Lord Caliban."

Though she expected no further addressing, her introduction was cut short when another massive wolf joined their gathering. Ebony was thoroughly frightened by the male, but decided not to show disrespect and simply drew back as he approached. She noticed the special attention he gave to their leader and wondered if they shared the same admiration for her. Nevertheless, Ebony kept her silence off to the side and watched as the others engaged each other.

One of the missing wolves soon showed up, hovering in the background until Caliban pointed him out. Freya raised her head and peered over at Kai. She liked the male wolf, he showed power and determination yet was respectful to her. He was another that would do well in the pack. Kai spoke to her and her alone, almost like the other wolves didnt exist around them. "I've been waiting for your orders my lady," Orders, had she yet to give him orders, well she would correct that. Turning back to the pack, makign sure she could still see Kai she figured she would address them all. "Pleasantries aside," she spoke, ignoring anyone who was still in the process of greeting their beta, "It is this pack's mission to not only obtain those with the most valuable and strong powers, but we strive to have all wolves bow and follow us. Why some of you might ask, it is simple, no one likes seeing a pack being destroyed but another." The alpha paused, allowing her words to sink in. She had expreienced the loss of a pack when she was young and refused to feel the helplessness again, of course back then she never understood the extent of her powers and now well she figured she could simply will them back to life. "There are those that oppose this idea, you must convince them that our way is the right way and if they still oppose after you have tried everything, you are to kill them," those that opposed were threats, they could start another pack and rebel against them, once more leading to the death of a pack and she absolutely refused for that to happen. Eliminate them before they could retaliate, it was the only way. "I wish for you to team up in pairs, for fighting purposes. I know some arent the strongest of fighters and we must take care of our own," she added. Pairs would easily be able to overpower a single wolf, no matter what powers they may have. credits, kiwii at btn!

[blackautumn15]

He sneered at the black wolf that approached and then paid only attention to Freya. Freya deserved that respect of course but Caliban was of higher rank too, and therefore required a bit of respect himself. He would deal with that one later, he decided. He looked at the small, timid Omega wolf.
She knew her place well and he smiled at her as she back away again after her introduction. It wasn't everyday that one that young or low in rank knew exactly where they were on the heirarchy. He would maybe get to know her better in the moons to come.

He looked to Freya as she started to speaking, hearing something deeper in her voice but not speaking. She was right about the way to go about it. If the loners did not join, they must die. It was only right so that they could not join forces. But, they also had to convince the other wolves to join them. He wasn't exactly sure how he would do that but he sure as hell was gonna try for his alpha.

Pairs? He wasn't going to pair up if he didn't have to, but maybe he could take little Ebony with him, and keep her safe for the time being....he thought silently, watching his pack.
