The forest stands tall and lush here; ancient trees reach weather-twisted arms to the sky, fighting monster-like storm clouds back with their interlacing fingers. Shadow seems to lurk everywhere you look, but it spills calmly, coolly, inspiring a sense of stealthy calm or protection rather than unease. That is, if you've forgotten what kind of creature might be stalking just out of sight...Abendrot is a land cradled by the dark woods on all sides; in the center, some of the larger trees stay behind to reveal a small plateau - a citadel where this pack can gather and defend itself from invaders. There are, of course, softer sides to the land. Clearings here and there allow the sun to throw down its rays in incongruously resplendent gold showers. Ignore the lingering scents of blood spattered here and there along the borders: those do not concern you. The river on one edge of the territory is playful enough when it hasn't been gorged by violent rain. You can choose to note the ragged claw marks raked down tree trunks and the forest floor as friendly "Home Sweet Home" signs, if you wish.
All who treasure loyalty, order, victory, and the occasional indulgence of raw visceral pleasure are welcome, once they've been approved by the ever-watchful eyes of Abendrot's Alpha. But keep one thing in mind: no matter what your motive, this is not a fool's Paradise. This is the land of soldiers, assassins, and spies. This is ABENDROT.
Make up your mind quickly and prepare to prove your worth. You wouldn't want to add to those blood spatters, would you...?

and her past times consisted of the strange the twisted and deranged Blood. So much blood. Its soaking each and every one of them. I watch with horror as I see him ripping out her throat. He’s destroying my beautiful baby-his beautiful baby. It’s his baby too! What is he doing? Why? The blood, all of that blood. “No please… don’t! Don‘t do this… Why are you doing this?” I can feel my voice cracking and the tears brimming. Their streaming down my face now, I taste the saltiness with every scream. My babies! “Stop, stop, stop!” I watched the light leaving their eyes, why is that all I’m doing? I should be tearing at these bastards holding me down! I should be saving my babies! Fear. Its consuming me, I can feel it inside constricting my heart. Grief, that too. I cant move! “Arsi-” Mother? Mother no! No, no, no this isn’t right. What’s happening? Why is he doing this? What-NO! Mother… I can see her blood painting his coat, the same coat I had nestled up to for warmth. Its seeping from her body, all those gashes. I struggle against the pressure of his hold. I thrash in order to get free but he keeps me there… against that fucking rock. My father fought to save us and I watched him snap his neck. He killed him. He, he, he… he. But why? He said he ‘loved’ me. Theirs to many… so many. I jolted awake, jerking my light pillars involuntarily-fur plastered against my skin in a cold sweat. Another nightmare? That makes three within the past month. I suppose I shouldn’t be complaining, they have gotten better. You would think after so long they wouldn’t plague me but the do-they always do… Heaving my cardinal colored frame off the cold stone I stretched, enjoying the strain. I suppose its time. Just like every other morning fallowing the lucid nightmares I exited my cavern; two toned orbs narrowing in order to shut out the early light of morning. A walk, yes-a walk, it always seemed to ebb the heartache. I continue my schlep deep into Abendrot, with each step my paws cause the dew covered grass to bend and every so often a twig to snap under my weight. I only watched-I didn’t even try to stop him I don’t quite know why but I always seemed to blame myself for their deaths, you know the kind of-if only I had tried harderkind-a thing. Hell I don’t even know how much time has passed but now I suppose that its been a while. The sun has reached a bit higher in the sky and it seems as though I’ve manage to go from deep within my haven to just hugging the boarders… Funny how time passes when your accusing yourself of make-believe crimes. My sensitive nares pick up something besides heartache, innocence? Could it be? No litters have been conceived here, or at least not our own, so how did a kit manage to find themselves within these boarders? My onyx ended ears twitch locating the source of the raucous and soon my pale columns bring me swiftly to the little creature. She-it’s a she-she looks just like her. No, how? No, its not, this is not… I feel a pang in my chest remembering a little alabaster pup snuggling against scarlet fur-against my fur. This alas is not my baby, just some look alike. My anger is misplaced but it cuts like daggers just the same. “You there-child! What are you doing here?” I smell Kershov on her and for a second I’m sincerely confused, although my features retain the same stern expression. Then it dawns on me, she’s a prisoner! but why kidnap such a useless thing? I suppose that it was just another trophy to add to the growing collection. I cant help for just a second wishing that this could have been her, but where does wishing get you? Painfully alone and empty that’s where. and I hate that little game you had called cryin' lightnin' | Fully Mature | Vixen | word cound - 659 - Alice |
