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...?

All That I See, Absolute Horror  |
_________________________________________________________________________ Adrenaline coursed through the female’s veins. There was no time to sit around and plan an attack with such lethal opponents, so she let instinct lead her. Luckily she had remained uninjured so far, which was not the same for some of her packmates. But she could not focus on that right now, she had bigger problems to deal with and herself and the pack would be more in danger if any of them became distracted. As her smaller, and therefore faster, form drew closer to the feline she saw Halina causing damage from above as blood spilled down the side of the cougar. Now was her chance to take it down. With a snarl she lunged forward, aiming directly at the jugular for a deadly hit. She was not anticipating as much movement from the feline as she was making, and so Azula did not hit her target, but she did make contact. Her daggers dug far into the flesh, and the sweet taste of blood hit her tongue. Another growl escaped her as she tried to cut in deeper, her head shaking dangerously to try and rip and tear out as much muscle and tendon as she could to damage the intruder as much as possible. She leapt away, her muzzle and front stained with fresh blood as she didn’t hesitate to go in for yet another attack. She only waited a moment as her green orbs watched the movement of the attacker, trying to time her attack better this time. Once more she lunged forward, but was much closer this time and so hopefully more accurate in hitting the jugular to try and rip out the throat to end this fight once and for all. If she did miss again, she would try to cause more damage to the shoulder and neck area, perhaps even hitting an artery and speeding up the process of the cougar’s death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The large male made sure to keep his injured limb off the ground, a growl of pain and frustration escaping him as he targeted his yellow orbs back onto the male cougar that had caused the injury. He knew he could not act out of anger though, or else he would make a stupid mistake and get himself killed, and he was too skilled a fighter to let that happen. And so he figured he would get even and take out a limb from the other male. As his form moved around to the back end of the distracted feline, he clumsily leapt forward, but it had worked. His teeth hit their mark as he felt flesh and tendons rip under his jaws. His teeth sank in deep to the cat’s hind limb and he quickly tore his head to the side as he felt blood and gore splash out onto his grey pelt. A satisfied growl came from his throat as the brute roared in pain, trying to lash back out at Grey Wind, but instead was too imbalanced and fell to the ground. The male cougar was trying to get back to his mate, but Mabbit and Grey Wind would not let him. The large grey canine leapt at the feline once more, this time towards his side. His goal was to try and knock the unstable creature to the ground again, exposing the cat’s vulnerable underbelly. If Grey Wind was successful then he would go in for the kill quickly, teeth and claws quickly getting to work to tear into flesh and expose intestines.
