Silence is my middle name (closed)

Li;

The sky was dark, but with a bright full moon. Li coward in the darkness as it was his ally, he was never noticed by other wolves when he did so, so it was conviant for him. But then he would join a pack, or at least would want to, but then there was a small feeling of shame, perhaps he would've been better if he had joined a pack with his brother... But their history says that wouldn't, couldn't or shouldn't be a good idea. Even then Li could just see the trouble he would make, he was always the evil one of the two and joining a neutral pack was not going to help. Li walked slowly towards the border, there was a pack he had heard of and it sounded almost perfect. Stopped at his tracks, now being at the border, he shifted his head from the left to the right seeing if some one was going to be there. He basically wasn't in sight because he was basically hiding in a shadow of a tree although he wouldn't try to hide since this is the only time he wants to be seen.

But then again maybe he would have to howl to get some one's attention, after all Li is pitch black all around. So he lifted his head barely and howled for a few seconds, he almost hated howling since it could blow his cover but it was not time to hide... Not right now.

(I'm not sure if he is supposed to howl or not)

Meds - Arcibus

[Meds]

Acribus;

This valley was getting old, to Acribus' mind. He had come here looking for a fight. He had stayed for the Betaship. But it was not living up to all he had thought it would be. This only fueled his frustration all the more, of course. He wanted to feel that rush again—the feeling of ripping into another living creature while they beg for mercy and try to fight back.

There was a male at the border. Acribus moved through the night, uncaring about whether he made a sound or not. His purple eyes lit up with the light of the moon. He could not see the male, but he could smell him—and then the male howled, aiding Acribus in finding his location exactly.

"What brings this shade to our borders tonight?" Acribus' voice sounded like death itself—the harsh, croaking, whisper-thin words breaking the silence of the night roughly and uncleanly. He sat, his dirty-white fur appearing a murky grey in the night. The only remarkable thing about him was the red on his leg, and the pure-white on his throat. Other than that he was just... a smudge. A stain on the land.

Acribus had heard of this male, Li. For who else could it be? Fully black, down to the 'whites' of his eyes. Acribus wondered how this shadowey male would fair if he met the mistress of all shadows—Nyx. She was a member of their pack, though had not been around as of late. He wondered...

Suddenly though, everything became clear. Acribus knew, as he looked at the shadowed male and remembered the stories he had heard—he knew that Li could do more for Midnight Silence than he could. Acribus was old, now. He had become Beta when he was still young and angry—he was still plenty angry, and dangerous at that—but sometimes sheer capability wasn't what was most needed. Sometimes capability mixed with an obvious air of strength, youth, and power was what would be best.
So in that moment, Acribus gave a rare, yellow-toothed smirk. Fjord and Skia would not be happy about him appointing his predecessor—but where were they? They were even more absent than Nyx.

"Nevermind what brought you hear," Acribus rasped, continuing the conversation. "Midnight Silence is in need of a new Beta male. The Beta female, newly appointed, is interesting... I don't believe it is in the pack's best interest for her to be second-in-command alone. I am not usually an impulsive creature—but today I am. Li—that is your name, isn't it?" His purple eyes flashed as he smirked once more. "Not only am I permitting you to join our pack, if that is what you are doing here—I am promoting you to my own position. Beta Male. Second only to Fjord and Skia if they should ever resurface—but in their absence, you and Venus shall now be in charge of who joins the pack, who carries out the orders, and how the very life within our borders moves on." He brought out a sharp claw.
"The Mark of Silence," He said. "Goes on every new member, or every pup when they complete the Ritual of Silence. Like so." And without warning Acribus carved a half-moon gouge into Li's pelt. He flashed his shoulder, showing his own Mark of Silence.

His shoulders rolled under his loose skin.
"Welcome to the pack, Beta."

((So, Li does need the Mark of Silence to be a part of the pack—you can decide where Acribus scarred him. I know this was super rushed and sort of random, but I don't have time to Rp it out anymore, and Acribus is technically dead now haha, so! I'll update all the character lists. Congrats on becoming a Beta!))

Li;

“What brings this shade to our borders tonight?”

Li sighed but happily, shade... a name everyone would call him every time they encountered Li. He grinned widely, almost as if he was smiling “I’m sure you know why.” he chuckled as he stepped to the moonlight. He was quiet, silent, that was a reason why he wanted to join this pack. Although he is still technically neutral, no, he was evil, evil at heart, he must have gotten that from his father. Whatever it was he knew Albus was not going to be so happy hearing that his only older brother joined the most evilest pack around, this could not have gone any better.

Li looked at the beta male smirk “Never mind what brought you here,” he rasped as Li would tilt his head slightly “Midnight Silence is in need of a new Beta male. The Beta female, newly appointed, is interesting... I don’t believe it is in the pack’s interest for her to be second-in-command alone. I am not usually an impulsive creature- but today I am. Li—that is your name, isn’t it?” Li nodded, but he realized there would be no point of nodding when the other person can’t see you “Of course.” the shadowed male said but not in a sassy tone, simply saying it as if it were a fact.

“Not only am I permitting you to join our pack, if that is what you are doing here—I am promoting you to my own position. Beta male. Second only after to Fjord and Skia if they should ever resurface—but in their absence, you and Venus shall now be in charge of who joins the pack, who carries out the orders and how the very life within our borders moves on.” Li notice The male stick out a sharp claw but Li did not move, he knew what was coming.

“The Mark of Silence, goes on every new member, or every pup when they complete a ritual of silence. Like so.” Acribus then carved a half moon gouge onto Li’s pelt, his eyes squinted slightly in pain but he knew it would be worth it. Then the male flashed his shoulder showing his own mark.

“Welcome to the pack, Beta.”

Li’s Nose twitched, then he grinned again “Thanks, I’m sure this shall be a fun journey for me to enjoy.” he said in a deep voice. Beta? He was wrong, this did go better. Just wait and see the look on Albus’s face...

Li looked at the former Beta one last time taking one good look at him, then he went into the darkness, he kept his head straight for Acribus had marked him on the left side of his neck. He turned the opposite direction from where the border lie, he was heading for Albus, to rub it in his face before heading to the pack. With that, Li was gone.
