Kyla (Geist)

[Aquaria]

A gray female steadily made the trek up the path of White Wolf mountain. She had a purpose for making this journey and that was to demand—er, ask for a power from her deity Geist. Adding a power to her arsenal would assist in getting her anything she wants. That and she was sure that Geist would appreciate another wolf causing a little chaos around the valley. Kyla was quite the deceiving one who was looking out for only herself. If she saw an opportunity that would benefit her, she would jump on it with her fake bubbly personality. At first. Then her true evil comes out when the wolf that offered the opportunity loses their use to her. With an evil smirk at the thought, Kyla finds herself at the entrance of the White Wolves's den. Good. It was time for her to shine....so-to-speak.

"Geist?" Kyla calls out, not using her typical "disguise" as the bubbly one. Geist was all-knowing so coming here acting like that would probably come across as offensive or rude. She'd have to show Geist her true self if she wanted to get anything from her. "I have come to make a request of you." She states sitting at the entrance. Guaranteed, Kyla was deceitful and self-centered but she still had manners. She wouldn't appreciate someone just waltzing into her den uninvited either. So she waited in silence at the entrance for her deity to come to her.

Geist;

"A request?"

The reply voice was decrepit, shriveled, and cracked like the dirt in a drought. Yet at the same time it was booming. So loud, so strong... yet broken. Harsh. Shrouding whoever heard it in discomfort and a sick sort of feeling in the pit of their guts.

"What on earth makes you think that you have a right to request anything if me?" Geist appeared in the mouth of her cave where she hadn't been moments before. She leered at the female, all teeth and eyes, and the air seemed to shiver with unease. "Is your request to leave my home whole, and unharmed?" Her eyes burned, seeming to grow wider in their sockets. "I don't even know if I can do that much for you..."

Pah. All these mortal wolves, thinking they knew anything about the way her mind worked. Geist was all-knowing, of course, but there was no way a wolf who was not, could ever understand the sheer magnitude and weight of everything that Geist knew. Everything she saw. Everything she felt.

The white goddess licked her teeth, then gave her jaws a little snap. Though Kyla stands a good way away from Geist, at the foot of the little path to the cave, she will hear the snap as if it is close by.

[Aquaria]

Kyla jumped as the voice that answered her sounded like something straight out of a nightmare. Geist's voice alone could give away the fact that she was the leader of the evil wolves. It was something that would strike fear and discomfort into anyone that heard it. In fact, it made Kyla's stomach slightly churn with nervousness. But it wasn't just her voice that struck the female with nerves but rather the very hostile behavior coming from the deity as she emerged from the den. Kyla shrunk down a little, feeling about the size of an ant under the other wolves gaze. She had not meant to offend when she said she had a request but it appeared as though that was how Geist took it. Kyla would have to be very careful here or she very well might be killed on the spot.

"Leaving in one piece would be preferred...indeed." Kyla says, her mouth suddenly feeling as dry as a bone making it hard to speak. If she wanted any shot of leaving this place alive, she would have to come up with something to keep the angry wolf at bay. Whether it be through smooth talking or another means. Her life would depend on what would happen in the next few minutes. "I don't feel that I really have the right. It's more or less a request so that I can help to cause more turmoil in the valley in your name...." She swallows hard. Not sure how the wolf would take her words.

"A mere mortal such as myself could do a great deal more chaos with a little bit of power behind them." She says trying to voice her opinion in a way that would hopefully not offend the great wolf more than it already had. "I would not be able to call myself evil if I didn't try to stir things up whenever I could." The female's ears sat back on her head, almost waiting for the deity to strike her down on the spot. At this point, she didn't think she could run even if she tried. So she would have to welcome death if that is what Geist chose for her. The deity knew better than her what her future held. So if she ended it here, there was nothing Kyla could do.

Geist;

Geist snorted scathingly when Kyla made the comment that leaving in one piece would be preferred. She had no idea just what Geist could do; then again, maybe she did. It would not at all be hard for Geist, nor really even a stretch of her great imagination, to literally split the female in half and give her just enough life to make it down the mountain. The thought brought a wicked smile to her face, a smile that spread too wide, as if her own face had been the one to split in half.

More turmoil in Geist's name. The goddess sighed audibly. Blah, blah blah... Another evil wolf, more evil to spread. Realistically, the evil wolves were stacked well against the other alliances, meaning she didn't really need anymore help. Then again, however, to smite out the good alliance entirely, including her dear sister, sounded almost too sweet to pass up.
She sniffed, unimpressed, but didn't yet split the female in two.

"A little bit of power behind you... just a little bit." Her gifts were not little. Her gifts were great. Her gifts were awe-inspiring, earth-shattering, sun-stopping pieces of amazement. "And what power," She spoke evenly, revealing nothing of her thoughts. "Do you have in mind?"

[Aquaria]

Kyla watched as Geist's hostile stance seemed to fade away. Now whether she appreciated anything the she-wolf had said, who knew. Her expression gave away nothing of the thoughts running through her head. So Kyla wasn't sure whether this was the time to relax or the time to flee. For all she knew, Geist was about to jump forward and rip her apart. Just like how she deceives other wolves herself, Geist could easily be playing her. She fidgeted slightly watching Geist as she sniffs.

Kyla's words were probably less than inspiring to the great wolf. In fact, she probably repeated the same drivel that every other wolf that came up here did. She cursed herself under her breath as she realized how unoriginal she had been. How her words were even remotely helping her stay alive was questionable at best now. Her ears lay back as she feels somewhat ashamed. Perhaps she shouldn't have even ventured up here. Perhaps she was better suited to live the life of a powerless mortal. At least then she wouldn't have to worry about being tore to pieces by a deity. But at the same time, she had already made the trek up here and spoke to the wolf. It would be a waste of time if she just up and changed her mind and tried to leave. She honestly doubted Geist would even allow her to leave then....

Geist suddenly spoke up about what power she had in mind. Kyla blinked in disbelief, wondering if her ears had deceived her. "O-oh. I was considering Venom. It would be a sly way to take out prey and cause a bit of fear in some wolves. Or I suppose Electricity could prove useful too. Giving wolves a jolt here and there to give them a shock." Bad pun. Very bad pun on her part. But maybe if she had more than one choice, Geist could at least give her some advice. Heck, just to spite Kyla Geist would probably give her something weaker or something that would prove more of a challenge. It was really the deity's call here.

[Meds]

Geist;

Her thoughts were laughable—the self-doubt, the fear, the indecision... Geist lived for it. She had half a mind to speak the thoughts aloud, narrating the interaction just to further mortify the female. But there were other games to play, Geist had already seen them in the future.
Kyla's eyes popped slightly in surprise when Geist actually showed some sort of interest in the reason she had came, rather than just trying to toy with her. Ah, but Kyla knew nothing yet. Geist was a master of tricks—a master gamer.

"Venom..." Geist let the word roll of her tongue, as if considering it; in fact, she was. But perhaps not in the way Kyla would hope. "Venom..." She repeated it again. Then her white fur turned a shocking red in the blink of an eye, and for a moment, Kyla would believe her fur was dripping off of her as if made of blood. Then in a flash, it was back to the same pure white. Geist smiled.

"I'll give you Venom, little mortal..." She waited for a long stretch of time before speaking again. "If you give me one of those pretty blue eyes of yours."

...

...

There were all sorts of rumors involving Geist and eyes and what not—why not make some of them true? Geist didn't move, not wanting Kyla to misinterpret her offer as a fake.
"Allow me to take one of those, and I'll give you Venom. I'll even let you pick which eye I take." She smirked. "It will be a clean break, I give you my word. No scar or anything...."

[Aquaria]

Kyla watches Geist anxiously, hoping the wolf wouldn't leap forward and tear her apart. But instead, Geist begins to actually consider her choices. At least, she appeared to be considering. She could have easily been imagining which limb to tear off her poor body first too. Kyla shakes her head trying to push any thoughts of being killed from her mind. She needed to stay strong....or at least not appear to be a total coward in the face of a great wolf such as Geist.

Blue eyes watch as Geist ponders the power venom, voicing the word a couple of times. Just as the last m crackled from the mouth of the deity, her pure white fur completely changed. Her fur rapidly faded into a brilliant shade of red. Kyla watched in amazement as the wolf changed her appearance at will. But then the image of red fur contorted and dribbled down her body like some sort of liquid. The female's eyes grow wide as she realizes it was blood. The deity's fur had turned to blood and oozed off of the wolf. That was when the wolf's fur returned to the snow white color. It was a show of her power. Of her magic. It made Kyla's stomach twist in an uncomfortable manner imagining how much power must be inside Geist.

Her thoughts were cut short as Geist said she'd give Kyla venom. The female blinks in shock and that's when the bomb drops. Geist was willing to give her the power of venom on the condition that she parts with one of her eyes. Kyla's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. One of her eyes? Why would Geist want one of those? Surely the wolf had no trouble seeing on her own unless this was meant to be a sort of "eye for an eye" deal, so-to-speak. Kyla ponders this for a moment. Did she truly need two eyes? She was a strong wolf so she could adapt to having just the one. Well, she sure felt as though she'd get along just fine. So she laps at her lips a moment before giving Geist an answer.

"You may take one of my eyes then.....as for which....I suppose the right...." She really had no preference on which side Geist took from her. But if she hadn't given her one of them, she was likely to take them both just to make an example of her. She truly didn't know if she could function if she was blind.

[Meds]

Geist;

"—I suppose the right..."

A wicked smile split Geist's lips, as beautiful as it was evil. Ah, the things mortals would do for but a taste of her power. They would offer themselves up to be maimed... to be crippled... and for what? A gift that, unless they were very careful, would never become any more powerful than it was when it started? But a trick to play for some pups? Her grin widened, turning somewhat manic.

"Oh I'll be taking the left," She said, her voice sounding somehow like an inhale rather than an exhale. She had half a mind simply to take the eye and have done with it—keep her Venom to herself... Ah, but Geist was occasionally a wolfess of her word, and today was one of those days.
The sky darkened around them and a mist-like cloud rose up from the earth. The cloud spread, widening, its finger reaching, until it was but inches from Kyla's face. Geist's grin had disappeared, and with a wink of one of her currently-red eyes, the foremost finger of mist enveloped the left side of Kyla's face.
Geist never said it would be without pain.
In fact, the pain would be so great that Kyla's weak soul would not be able to take it. It would feel as if her head truly was splitting, as if her guts were boiling, and as if her life's breath was seeping our of her lungs. She would not be able to remain conscious for long, and from that moment on, in her darkest nights and moments of highest fear, she would again remember the pain as if feeling it anew.
Powers were not play things, and Geist... no good deity.

Kyla will pass out from the pain. When she awakes, her left eye will be gone, as will Geist. There will be no scar, as Geist promised, but the gaping socket will almost be as frightening as if there had been a scar. Kyla will then also posses the power of Venom. Her bites will now poison small prey or make other wolves feel slightly dizzy, as long as she holds on for long enough. Kyla shall not be immune to her own Venom.
