At Leisure Lake the sun is always shining and only a few stray clouds roam the open sky; paradise is the one word that really describes it. This beautiful lake is clean and refreshing, the very best place to swim and fish. Pups are known to play here while older wolves watch at the side, engaged in their own activities.
A Small Skirmish IP: 69.50.50.124 Posted on December 20, 2014 at 03:00:13 AM by Whispering Shadows
Whispering Shadows watched in alarm as his mate and her siblings getting into a fighting stance. He looked round Centauri to see his group members leaping to their paws and racing over. Soon it was 4 against 9.
Whispering Shadows calmly stepped in front of his mate, his tail high and his blue eyes narrowed. He looked at the albino, only slightly larger than him. He glanced wearily back at his mate, now knowing that once the challenge had silently been sent out, they couldn't back down.
"Alpha Centauri, I challenge you, me against you. No one else," he glanced at his mate once again. "If I win, you leave us alone. If you win, we will leave Leisure Lake, or find another place on the other side of the lake."
"I will accept, but the prizes shall change," Alpha Centauri growled softly. "If I win, I get your mate and her sister. If you win, you can have my mate and another young female of the group."
"I do not need anymore females." Whispering Shadows growled.
"So it's a win, win for me." Centauri snorted, his eyes gleaming mischievously.
Whispering Shadows looked back at his mate, then back at Alpha Centauri. "Then I accept your challenge. Shall we go to Quarrels Clearing, or do it here?"
Alpha Centauri looked around. He pointed with his ears, and Whispering Shadows looked in the direction he pointed. "Over there, in the sand dip."
Whispering Shadows nodded, and together the two padded over, hostility crackling in the air around them. The wolves of the two groups circled the sand pit, and the two large males stood in battle stances across from each other. Whispering Shadows gave one last glance at his mate before a sharp cry of a female wolf among Centauri's group broke out to sign the beginning of the quarrel.
Instantly the two wolves had their fur bushed out, bared teeth, snarling, and tongues out to make themselves look large and threatening. Whispering Shadows was only slightly larger than Centauri, but he knew that he had more wild training, and formal training then the pampered rogue. The two stared at each other, blue eyes meeting each other, narrowed to slits.
Since Centauri gave the biggest threat, Whispering Shadows moved into a defensive position. He crouched down, curving his body and kept his eyes locked on Centauri, waiting for his moves. The two wolves stared at each other, hoping one of them would back down and out of the fight, but they were both determined to win.
Suddenly, Centauri lunged at him, his blue eyes wild, his teeth bared. Whispering Shadows knew this was an act of dominance and when Centauri came to close, the large black wolf descended onto him, and pinning him to the ground. His hind paw was pressed down hard on the white wolfs flank, the other on his color bone, threatening to move onto his neck. Whispering Shadows bared his teeth and growled deeply at the white wolf, who soon threw him off and was on his paws again.
This time, Centauri moved into a defensive crouch, and the two were locked in the same position as before, blood trickle from Centauri's flank where Whispering Shadows claws had dug in. "You have done your attack, and I have drawn your blood. I have already won."
Centauri glared at him, and snorted in protest, his muscles rippling beneath his bristling pelt. "Not unless I can draw more blood from your mangy pelt when you do your attack."
"If you insist," Whispering Shadows muttered softly, his eyes narrowed. He already knew how to move around the defensive crouch, which not many wolves knew how to do. If Centauri knew how to dodge this opposite and uncommon attack, Whispering Shadows would have a high chance of losing.
The short battle was coming to an end. Replies:
