It was the scent of blood that first drew my attention from my otherwise boring day of reclining by the riverside. I had already been through the forests and fields, patrolling, as Heyel had so often commanded of those beneath him and yet with the fall of Iromar and a change in it’s leader I was truly beginning to feel such patrols were unnecessary, not since Enderly and Nikkita had I truly had to fight off a Demon from the mere mortals we protected- although why Isola felt it her need to protect all of Moladion I hardly knew. My sister was forever an elusive creature and yet I am assured this is only further proof I should have been King. I was significantly better skilled, my training within the Art already having brought to death more then one individual whom had come against us- I had fought and been victorious in the war for Diveen, downing two opponents on my own and I was significantly more appealing to the eye. Alright, maybe Isola was pretty to, but I would have looked just as nice sitting on a throne. I also would have ended Iromar long before they ever had a chance to rise against us- the fickle heart of my sister thinking otherwise. I snorted, ridding myself of the thought before lifting upward on long limbs, toned frame gliding with the smooth grace of any Angel across the earth, muscle moving beneath the stark white of my pelt, red shoulders aglow like my own personal brand of fire and the violet blue of my gaze searched upstream for the source of blood that was ruining the water.
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not defender of the water but I’m hardly inclined to let another spoil it nor ruin my pleasant few moments alone by coating the air in the taint of blood, a snort propelled from my nose as if to rid it off the scent before my tall, powerful frame glided further upward and the sounds of snarls began to split the air. Snowy paws halted easily upon the river bank, eyes rapidly searching the scene before me, confused for a moment as to just what was occurring as a male I am entirely sure is Enderly proceeded to fling himself at a female wolf, the pair of them very near trampling what looked to be a child beneath…..a child missing her tail. I think I may have even managed a sigh, eyes rolling loosely, what was it about Enderly and Demons? About managing to attract lunatics to him, the faint scent of Tobias lingering within the air. A daughter of his perhaps? The large female entirely unattractive enough to be born of him. Perhaps next time I just won’t follow the scent, then I won’t have to deal with this. I just did my hair. How very unappealing this is. I suppose however- I can lend my assistance to Enderly a second time.
Heckles lifted readily along my spine, paws lunging forward now to rapidly close the gap between myself and the trio as Enderly threw himself at the side of the female- I simply came from the other, my form larger, heavier, taller- stronger than either of them as I barrelled forward, snarl spat violently from my lips. I have no patience for these creatures, no time for those whom seek to feed on the flesh of others. Isola assures me it is a sin to hate as I do and yet it was these very creatures whom had very near cost me the life of my mate and sons so many years ago- that is a pain I have not forgotten and a pain I will not forgive. So shoot me, I hold grudges- and I like my job even if it ruins my grooming efforts. I lunged towards the female opposite side, lips pulled back from teeth as that snarl rung out- my own shoulder thrown against her rump, perhaps to sandwich her between Enderly and myself as my head snaked downwards to attempt to latch onto her back right leg, teeth seeking to rake open the flesh and puncture the sinew before jerking widely, muscle thrown into such a movement, seeking to rip her leg from the ground and bring her crashing down where she belonged stepping away, stepping backward and over the child, her form beneath my own as heckles lifted once more, teeth bared towards the rather offensive looking female whom was so in need of hair care tips it was astounding and very near distracted me from my task before my own tail lifted in dominance , teeth bared towards her in evident thread- form larger, taller, towering above.
”You are done- get out of my sight.”
She attacked to be sure, yet her eyes did not hold that same insanity as Tobias, even Nikkita had known when she was beaten all those years ago, not foolish enough to attempt to fight off to healthy males- though I am hardly inclined to care if this one should desire to continue to try, let her, she will not win. Another snarl spat free of my lips, a deep and grating sound from within my chest as my gaze flickered briefly to Enderly, meeting his own in acknowledgement of the….friend I had held for many years. Why we were protecting the child I hardly knew but if he seemed so determined then so be it- it is my job to slay those whom feed upon others and I am really quite good at it, though I doubt very much this one is foolish enough to linger long.
