New Wolf Era

Jax

He was busy watching his daughters fight. He knew Vivica would win this one. Caeli was to busy trying to play. But then Jaxon felt this weird feeling in his chest. It was hard for him to breath. He collapsed to the ground. He lost control of his body and had extreme pain in his heart. He was having a heart attack and in a few moments he was dead. His helper, Carson shriveled up near his paws.

ooc: Kammi, you have received a warning for constantly breaking Inferno's plot: The whole point of this pack is for wolves to be trapped and never able to escape, and if they do escape, it's nearly impossible/they are killed. You have successfully allowed Vivica, Tahlia, Tarin, and Tara to escape Inferno easily and as though there is no challenge. Please continue to follow Inferno's plot from now on, or avoid entering the lands if you cannot handle it. Thank you.

Undertaker
~+~
"Ah, it has been a while since I first wandered here..." Undertaker mused to himself, appearing in the middle of Inferno. He eyed the bent metal cover of a hole with curiosity. "I do not belelive that you were here last I saw you... But ah well. I cannot stay, you see. I have a guest to attend to." The ghost continued on his journey, stopping once he reached his guest of honor. "My my. Such drama. Well, at least your death was swift. I've seen others literally torn apart. That, and you've made my work very easy."

The ghost began to hum absent-mindedly as he dragged the corpse into an open space. He seemed to ponder and tap at random places on the body before reaching upwards to pull the tape measure from his hat....and realizing that he had no such hat. "Bugger!" He swore loudly before temporarily poofing out of existance in mild anger. Undertaker reappered before Daemon had a chance to and settled down. "Well, let's see what I can find for you, hmm?"

And with that, the ghost wandered off again in search of some adequate wood with which to make the coffin, preferrably from Inferno. That would make the transition that much easier, he supposed.

Akri
~+~
"I am glad to hear it, sir. If you were weaker, I would not be by your side." The dark wolf gave a carefree smile towards his master and followed him through the twisting shadows. Akri paused for a breif second as Xavier fell, wincing as he did so before carefully trailing behind the alpha. He waited a minute for him to get situated before approaching. "What is your wish, master?"

Akri
~+~
Carefully taking in his master's order, Akri gave a low bow. "I understand, sir. As you wish, sir." But for once he did not leave immediately. "Will my master's wounds require tending to? Or perhaps I can fetch you something to whet your apetite or soothe your thirst?"

ooc; okay I didn't know that it was impossible for wolves to leave. But please don't bring her back Emily Vivica just doesn't suit inferno to me. I'll just stop making new wolves in Inferno. No big deal.

Haiden

He nodded and simply said "Oh." He remembered his mother very well actually, if she hasn't been killed he wouldn't be the wolf he was now. He shrugged the thought off not wishin to let the past choke him up. As they continued walking e said "Have you lived in Inferno your whole life?" He was basically making small talk with her, something he rarely did.

Akri
~+~
"Very good, sir. As you wish. As for your meal..." Akri paused, looking over Xavier. "I should think somethings small, so you do not have to chew as much. But! I shall be done post-haste with my chores and return here in a timely manner." The dark wolf bowed lowe, held himself there for a moment, rose and made his way carefully downstairs. From here he silently exited the den and first scanned the horizon before making his rounds at one edge of the packlands.

Akri carefully trotted in a zig-zag like pattern, memorizing all that he saw. Which, much to his surprise, wasn't a whole lot. There was no sign of Caeli, and she was ALWAYS around him. Finally, he noticed something, and appraoched it breifly, noting it to be Jax. But something seemed to be off. His skin usually began to prickle whenever the warrior was around. Strange that it wasn't doing it now.

What was even wierder was the totally random appearance of a strange grey male. It took him a while to finally recognize, but it looked like the one thing he had met in the woods, along with the skeletal-winged female. What in the world was he doing here, and what was he doing with Jax? Obeying orders not to get too close, Akri watched as the ghost put Jax into a strange wooden box before dragging both along the packlands. How unusual.

Taking note of it, Akri ventured closer to the spot where his fellow packmate once lay, and sniffed the earth. HE drew back with a wrinkled nose. Not only was it the smell of darkness, but it was also the smell of death. A small shudder ran up his spine. The stench of the departed. He knew it well. All too well. Along to was another scent: one of Medusa's pups. Trailing it, the ashen grey male found that it led to the edge of the packlands and beyond. But with no other smells accompanying it. Well, save for Caeli's...

The next wolf he sought out was Medusa, but it seemed that she had been gone a while, as her scent was old, and blended in with another: the male pup, Tyrion. Vierro had been spied napping in the sunlight, and wandering to one of the further fingers of the packlands were Xena and that one newcommer-what was his name? Well, whatever it was, it seemed to be only walking and chatting, but between a male and a female it was dangerous territory.

Wandering back towards a rabbit whole he had spied before, Akri waited and listened to the earth for any signs of life. Indeed there was, and he sent one of his shadows down to drag the thing up. Though the rabbit squealed something aweful, a sickening twist was all it took and it lay limp. IT was only a quick portal away before he was once again before Xavier.

The servant placed the dead animal before his master and backed off slightly. "Is the meal satisfactory to you, sir? Or would you like me to perhaps tear it into smaller bites? I would not want your jaw to hurt more than it already does. How else will you lead Inferno?"

Xavier Valkryie III

Glad that Akri was gone for the moment, doing the task that he was assigned to him. Xavier dropped his head, allowing himself to drift into a light sleep. His ears always focused on the slightest sounds, in case he had to leap up and defend himself. Paranoia, possibly? One filled with dark dreams that wrote out chapters in his brain?

Upon the dark wolf's entrance, Xavier's head snapped up into a growl before he backed down. Settling down, there was a stiffness in his body. At least it seemed he was healing fine.

"Yes, this will do." Xavier replied evenly. "No, sit. Share your report." Xavier offered, motioning his head toward Akri. It seemed more like he had a choice, but Xavier was ordering him to start. Slowly, metal claws took form to replace his normal ones as he started to rip into the rabbit, pulling the meat to make openings for himself to gnaw on the rabbit before swallowing the pieces ravenously.

Xena


She giggled when he spoke, it was true the swamp was a smelly mess. "That is true. Um we could go look for food now if you wanted?" Xena asked him as she flashed him a toothy smile. "We could hunt something down together...I mean if you wanted to."she said kind of nervously. Which was odd because she was usually very confident. She then started to walk towards to darker shadowy trees where prey would most likely would be hiding.

Xena


She crept through the bushes and branches in the forest of inferno. It was pretty quiet but a nice eerie quiet. She could hear him behind her and she felt safe. "Um, maybe a small deer for us to share or a couple small animals. Like rabbits or foxes." She told him as she looked behind her shoulder as she walked into the forest. "What are you in the mood for?" She asked him.

Haiden

He crept behind her and whispered to her "How about so rabbits? You can practice being stealthy on them." He padded up next to her careful to scent that they weren't close tithe border. He didn't want it to look like they were trying to leave. Just a simple hunt.

Medusa

Making her way into the inferno lands, Medusa didn't care if Tyrion was close by or not. He'd catch up, either way, and she wanted to get the dumb carcass to Xaviers side. 

Lifting her maw to the skies, Medusa called for her alpha, Tahlia's body lying against her front paws. The wolves body was in pretty good shape despite the flesh-eating wound on her neck, so Medusa knew Xavier would recognize her immediately. Her eyes were dilated, still attempting to pull herself out of the deathly mode she was in, even though she was exhausted. Once in that mode, Medusa needed to eat and sleep before coming too, and returning to reality.

Xavier Valkyrie III

The wolf stopped in the middle of his meal, stopping to slowly lift his head up and glare angrily at Akri. His blood started to boil as he slammed his paw on the ground. His jaw was sore still, but thankfully with some time it had healed.

"So you mean to tell me, the only wolves in this pack are Vierro, Xena, Haiden and yourself?" He snarled, suddenly up on his paws and leaning forward toward Akri. The pack was left unattended and there were four of his wolves out of the pack. He would have to have a 'word' with Medusa about taking wolves out of his packlands. Jax had gotten weak, it was fine that he was dead. However, it did take a bite out of his population.

"Akri, see to Haiden. I wish to speak with him, inform him that I have a proposition for him." He lashed out, almost swiping at Akri's nose but failed to do so. Besides, Akri was doing as he was told, since it seemed he was one of the few that did so now. He'd have to shape up this pack back before it fizzed out and began to run amok.

"Now, go. I have to deal with a female." Spat the alpha, hearing Medusa's howl to him. He wasn't happy with her in the least. Xavier walked down the staircase before cantering out toward Medusa's howl with a harden face.

He noticed the familiar fur of Tahlia's body besides Medusa's large paws, but he cared little of that right now. He was just glad that b*tch was dead. He'd deal with the corpse soon enough.

"Explain now of your absence and allowing all your f*cking pups off Inferno lands." He glared at her, his claws coating with a thick iron. "I see one, where are the other two?" He aimed his glare toward Tyrion. If there wasn't a good enough reason, one of their helpers would be dead in a matter of minutes.

Medusa

The beta stood before her Alpha, wondering why he was so mad. Her pups? She looked down at Tyrion.

"Xavier, my alpha." Medusa began, a paw sweeping over her son as she forced his display of authority down, glaring at him as though all her training was a waste. She turned back to Xavier, as if apologetic over her son, but knew he would be lashed for his own bad body language. that would be something they would have to work on.

"Tyrion is my only pup, as we have discussed. The two females are of none of my blood, they share no bondage with me and I haven't taken care of them since I weaned them." She explained. "You know who's been their real 'mother'." She began, "Jaxon. He's taught them everything, raised them, cared for them, and treated them like their own, for all I know, they could be dead. You ask me why they have left Inferno? I have no idea, for they were here when Tyrion and I left." She stared at him.

"And, if I'm not mistaken, a certain someone wanted me to produce a liable heir for him, and so here he is. I have been working on him, training him, pushing him to his limits. I am exhausted and still going, trying to give you what you have asked for, and this is how you treat me?" She didn't glare, for she knew how to treat her alpha.

"We still need work, as you can tell, Tyrion is working on his manners, and learning when to and when to not speak out of term." She said, "We will be visiting the mountains, the forest, and the beach, all of which I will be training him, for it is impossible to teach a fire wolf strength when  I have no mountain, and to fight water when all I have is a germ-filled swamp, and how will he learn to hunt without a forest? You can't expect me to train the best, without the best, can you?" She was giving him that eye again, the eye she used to become beta.

"While training, I came upon this piece of dirt." She said, lowering her head to point her nose at Tahlia. "Took her out like you told your servant too long ago. Didn't take much more than an instant. Perhaps it's not me you should be ashamed of, but those you have hired as servants instead." Not to throw the blame on Akri.. but.. well, anything to get herself out of trouble. Her eyes were wicked, and she knew how to talk. Hopefully Tyrion was listening, for he would need to learn how to swindle his ways out of scenarios like this.

"As for those bratty females, I can seek for them with Tyrion, we wouldn't mind some extra training, hunting to kill is certainly... certainly a great skill." She said, eyes wide with excitement at the idea of hunting - and possibly killing - her worthless pups.

Medusa

Her ears twitched a bit as she listened to the call, turning to see Xena. What was she up too? Shouldn't she be training? Medusa looked to Xavier and Tyrion, excusing herself.

"Hows training going?" Medusa asked, harshly but not intimidating. Her voice was naturally that way. She sat down near her, noticing how much this pup had grown since she had first arrived.

"Don't you ever miss where you can from?" She asked, wondering why Xena liked it here so much.

"What's your name again?" Medusa asked, trying to recall the 'brat's' name.

Medusa

She shrugged. Nothing like a stuck up wolf. She stared at Xena, a smile on her face. Oddly enough, the attitude of others never seemed to bother her. She just looked out, staring into nothing.

"Ah, Xavier. He's getting old, that's for sure. Myself as well." She shrugged. "Getting old isn't fun. Enjoy being young, while you are still young. Time moves much faster than you'd believe." Oh, what Medusa would give to be three again. She let acid drip from her paws, melting the ground beneath her paws.

"Inferno may be your home, as it is mine too, but I too sometimes miss my old life. It's not a sin to miss something." She looked hard at Xena. Every wolf needed a heart. 

"Don't grow up to be a bitch like me." She said, simply. "You're better than that."

Medusa

The female nodded. "Well, it's strange to miss something that seems so unhappy to you." She said, tilting her head before turning back to the forest.

Medusa let out a sigh.

"I've been contemplating a lot lately." She said, "You know, I haven't always been like this." She looked down at her pointed horns across her body, feeling anger form in her from this curse that was casted upon her. 

"I'm not really what I look like I am." Medusa explained. "It's a sad story, actually. Don't you wonder why you've never seen my helper before?" She growled beneath her breath. "I need the damned thing protected. It's such a hard choice sometimes though. Because, I want to kill it myself." 

She was being very vague, never talking about the curse that was placed on her as a pup. She couldn't even remember what color fur she had before the acid took over her body. Was she a green wolf? Brown like the trees? She looked up to the sky, hoping her helper was far away, because she knew if she did kill him, she would be powerless.

Xavier Valkryie III

Joints clicking, Xavier stepped out into the paw deep snow. It was cold upon touch, but Xavier soon grew used to the sensation. The alpha was growing old, nearing his middle of his six year. His mind was still ever so sharp, even if his body wasn't much so. White grizzled on his muzzle as he slowly made his way through the deep snow. His jaw giving a quick snap, never fully recovering from his injury after the Mania rape. It appeared crooked, a few teeth poking outside his lips.

Xavier wondered which wolves had survived this deep freeze. Surely not many. He was bitterly disappointed in the way his pack wasn't able to recruit many members. He should've stuck to his first plan of infiltrating a pack, making his way to beta before challenging and overthrowing the alpha. In his prime, he could've easily done it. Now, would be quite the challenge and Xavier didn't want to admit that a new, stronger wolf could probably win an alpha challenge against him. If one was brave enough to go against a hell-bent, seasoned fighter even at his age, that wolf was gutsy and was confident in his strength.

Xena

She listened to the older wolf, this was all so weird and she couldn't really believe that this conversation was actually happening. "Kali was my only friend as well...never really made any after that. Well there was Sigma, but he was more of a servant than anything...and Haiden, who trained with me a bit. But no one has ever came close to what Kali and I had." She explained to the older wolf. Maybe she could actually take advice from this older wolf. It was so strange that she was speaking of all of this, there had to be a reason behind it. "I guess, but so much has changed...and I couldn't just get up and go look for her, I'm not allowed to leave without my father's permission and she's most likely in Ronoh." She explained to Medusa. "I don't even know what she looks like now..." She added.

Xena

Xena thought it was a little ironic that Medusa told her to basically leave because her father doesn't actually care about her, when she abandoned her own daughters and favored her son. But Xavier never abandoned Xena, though he wasn't affectionate what so ever, he always made sure she had training, food, and she had even seen him protect her when Akri first turned into the demon monster. But she did have a point with the self pleasure thing. "Funny you say that, but I guess I could use a small vacation, give myself some time to figure out what I want in life." She told her.

Tyrion

The male lazily blinked his eyes as his fuzzy vision started to focus, he wasn't sure how long he had been asleep but as he stood he realized it had been a while. He had reached his full size he was large to say in the least but at the moment he was skinny. His bones protruded from his skin like he was no more than a bag around a skeleton. He felt sore, stiff, and very very hungry. He could smell his mother her acid stench easily identifiable, he slowly made his way to her like a wolf half his age; limping and stiff. When he reached her his yellow eyes cast downward "Forgive me but I don't quite know what happened to me. Why was I sleeping?" He was unsure what had transpired during his a sense but he knew she wouldn't be happy with him.

Xena

In the middle of her strange conversation with Medusa she saw the dark prince himself in all his glory, Tyrion. "Why hello, Sleeping beauty." She said with a chuckle and a smirk. But she rolled her eyes when Medusa gave her some grunt work to do. "Yeah, yeah I'll get the kid something to eat." She said as she gave them a nodded the bounded off towards the Forrest.

Medusa

Thoughts were rushing. The world was shaking, she had had enough. This pack was pathetic. Her children were pathetic. There was no reason to be pressuring herself into a world like this. She looked around the pack lands. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. She snarled to herself, furious with her life. How did she become such a failure? How did the world punish her in such a way? Here she was, cursed with acid.

She stood, and looked around. Grabbing a dead branch, she walked over to her son. Using his heat, she lifted the lit branch above herself, and made a sprint towards the barn.

"This will show inferno. Screw my life, I'm going out with a bang." And a bang she did. Lifting the branch, Medusa tossed it into the pile of hay, smoke lifting as the flames began to capture themselves inside the barn. Medusa sat down, proudly, in the middle of the barn. It was too late for her. She was tired of the acid element. She wanted to die, to be set free from this evil curse.

"And my acid will bleed out of my body, and I will be set free of this curse." Medusa shouted,

"And I will be beautiful, inside, and out, once again."

That was the last words Medusa spoke, as her body enlight in flames. The barn was covered in colors of red, yellow and orange, and smoke lifted into the sky. Medusa was no longer a part of this world, for she no longer wanted to be. Her spirit was finally set free, and the curse, was of no more. Her helper wasn't happy about this, fluttering around madly as the curse wasn't supposed to happen like this. It wasn't long until his body fell from the air, landing with a thump, as the battle had been lost, and Medusa was gone.
