Kylon;A harsh autumn breeze hit Kylon from behind and threw his tail against his right hip while he trudged along. His ears flattened with the displeasure of the cold wind running through his fur, and his sharp golden eyes scanned the landscape. The tall grasses around him danced dramatically in the gusts of wind, distracting him from really being able to focus in on any other moving figures. Kylon didn't seem to spot anything anyways, even though he was very near the border of the pack name Midnight Silence. He could scent the marked territory, but he wasn't afraid to step onto the so-called land owned by the evil wolves that made up the pack. He wasn't afraid if one of their members came up to face him and question him. He wasn't afraid, because he had their blood running through his veins. The blood of those seeking to rid the land of weakness and frailty. The blood of those strong enough to put out the fires of inadequate and feeble-minded wolves who taint the earth with imperfection. Kylon walked right on past one of the territory markings and stood at the crest of a slight hill in the grassland. Another bold gust hit him in the chest this time as he lifted his eyes to the sky let out a deep howl. His call was swept away by the breeze, but he trusted it would carry to the ears of whoever needed to hear his howl.

The Beta of Midnight Silence, tired from his patrol he had done not too long ago, had just rested in his den, chewing on a bone of a calf he had hunted down after his patrol. He had only rested for several minutes, before his ears flickered at hearing a howl in the distance. The howl had been blown away along with the breeze, as if sending a message to anyone that would hear it.
The dark wolf grumbled, being aware that he had to take the responsibility to answer the call, for no alpha was around and he was the only beta currently available.
His tired legs lifts his body up, dropping the bone he had been chewing on before stretching his legs out. With a low sigh, he lazily walks out of his den, only to be welcomed by the harsh autumn breeze. He growls softly from annoyance, but treads forth anyways with the wind brushing through his thick dark pelt. He took his sweet time walking to the border, for his legs was still tired from earlier.
Once a figure came to view from a hill top, he inhaled deeply, breathing in the cool air before he continues to the stranger that called.
Once Li was then in sight of the stranger, Li speaks out with his deep voice, trying to hide any tiredness he may have "What brings a wolf such as yourself within these borders of Midnight Silence?" He asked the wolf with a serious demeanor to him.

Kylon;
Patiently waiting, Kylon decided to rest his legs and take a seat while the wind continued to ruffle through his gray and golden yellow fur. His golden eyes watched the horizon as he waited for his howl to be answered, he would give it quite some time before he offered another one. He wasn't exactly desperate, and he was very willing to wait, no need to make himself sound needy.
After several minutes, and the wind changing directions several times in its undecided blowing direction, Kylon spotted a dark form coming towards him from over the hills and slopes. Their pace was not rushed or in any way hurried, they took their sweet time greeting him at the border. The visitor simple waited with his gaze forward on the approaching Midnight Silence member.
""What brings a wolf such as yourself within these borders of Midnight Silence?" The stranger spoke up with a deep voice to match his dark demeanor. He was large, much larger and stronger than Kylon, and his eyes even held the darkness of midnight in them, but Kylon didn't really let this bother him, what would showing fear even accomplish.
"I'm Kylon, me and my brother left our pack together, but he has long since turned to the ways of the weak and chosen to fall from the pedestal of strength which I still hold tight to. I now seek out like-minded wolves who will aid me in the lifestyle of relinquishing those who are lesser. I believe in my own journey, but I also believe that the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack." Kylon slowed down with his words while he watched the dark male and tried to decipher what his response was going to be after his short presentation. With a casual resting position and his face emotionless, Kylon added a little bit more before he let the silence grow even more between the two evils.
"So, I guess it's your turn now."

Li
He hums quietly as he listened to the grey and yellow wolf before him, raising a brow ever so slightly before the wolf finishes. The beta rolls his shoulders back, still standing upright before a low and quiet scoff escaped his throat after the wolf mention it was his turn to speak now.
"First, I will decide if it is my turn or not," he huffs, shadows from the tall grass starting to form and circle around the wolf before it takes full form of a wolf appearing much like the beta himself as the shadow circles cautiously around the yellow marked wolf.
"Second, how am I to know if you will not falter such as your brother did? You may hold strong to your pedestal now, but how will I know that nothing will tip you off said pedestal?" his brows furrowed at the male, examining his expression, his response and demeanor. "As Beta of Midnight Silence, my responsibility is to ensure that wolves who join this pack are strong-willed, loyal and most of all are capable of evil intents without getting manipulated by good intentions."
The shadow wolf stops behind the grey wolf, as if ready to attack Kylon at any given time. Li's ears flickered, and he huffs to himself, feeling hypocritical from mentioning how an evil wolf should not get manipulated by good, for he himself was partially manipulated by his good brother. But no matter, being hypocritical was not important right now, he was in the middle of doing his task which he had gotten himself into simply by joining this pack not too long ago.

Kylon;
With his eyes intent on the response of the ebony male, Kylon couldn't help but notice his little shoulder flex and the glossy black pelt rippling over the obvious mass of muscle and strength. His own brow unintentional flinched with being impressed. This only made him not want to fight this much larger male all the more, and his last comment probably didn't help.
"First, I will decide if it is my turn or not," Kylon's ears apologetically flicked back for a brief second before suddenly pressing forward as he noticed clusters of darkness forming and swirling around him. Another wolf, just as dark as the one talking to him stood up from the shadows and began walking around him. The small bubble of fear that had formed in Kylon's stomach had slowly vanished though as he looked back at the real wolf in front of him, not exactly ignoring the powerful darkness looming around him, but more so in even more awe of the male who was the master of this shadow wolf. Kylon's desire to go journey to the White Wolf Mountain only grew more now that he was in the presence of one who had been blessed by Geist. With this same expression of simple pleasure, Kylon patiently waited for the beta to finish his accusation. His head flicked to the side and noticed the large shadow wolf had stopped behind him, but he paid no heed as he turned back and politely smiled before he spoke back.
"I appreciate you sharing your concerns, and I very much respect the position within this pack that you have earned as Beta. However, what I have shared with you is my honest word. Do I expect you to believe it, no. Do I expect you to trust my word, no, absolutely not. I understand that this is completely an act of faith on your part, and I will respect your decision no matter what it may be." A burning passion had lit in Kylon's golden eyes as he spoke, and with his gaze still directly at the dark male, he took one step forward. His next words held just a little more aggression and passion in them when they came out of his mouth.
"But if it helps your decision at all, just know that I would willingly swallow the power of inferno from the paws of Geist before I joined my traitorous brother on his cursed path of life." Kylon clamped his mouth shut before a snarl escaped his maw, but his fury gaze never left the glossy ebony eyes of the Beta.

Li This wolf certainly appeared to be trust-worthy for he did not talk back to the Beta whatsoever. At least he knows to respect those who are above him.
Kylon did not react how Li would've liked for him to when he created his shadow wolf, hoping to see some kind of fear in the wolf. However Kylon showed a spark of interest in the powered beta, perhaps Kylon would seek out a power for himself and if that were the case more powered wolves equals to a stronger pack of hungry evil wolves who's goals are to rid the valley of weaklings.
He merely hummed, allowing to Kylon to finish before Li would tug in a black toothy smirk, his voice as firm as ever "Apart from swallowing the power of inferno, you are completely aware that Midnight Silence will eat you whole if you ever come close to even THINKING about betraying our alliance and our ways? For once you are part of Midnight Silence, you are forever part of the pack, and you will suffer immensely if one wrong move is taken from you."
Li's stomach twisted into a knot from the small form of guilt forming in him, he's never felt so hypocritical in his life. He's surprised he's not dead by now, with sneaking off every once in awhile to see his brother. He questioned himself how even came second in command in the first place, he's never even killed a wolf in his life, though that is mostly his brother's fault, for Li was very much capable of shedding blood, but that partial manipulation on Albus' end lingered in Li's mind for a long while. Hopefully, with the less amount of time he spends with his brother the closer he is to unlocking his full potential.
Li's shadow wolf melts back into the earth, Kylon did not show fear, and that is a major plus, since Midnight Silence only accepted those who are strong, physically and mentally.

Kylon;
In all honesty, Kylon wasn't sure how this Beta was going to react after his little rebuttal, but to his contentment, the black male simple held himself at ease and purred. However, his voice was still just as stern as before when he spoke again about the severity and the commitment of becoming a part of Midnight Silence. Apparently, he had liked what Kylon said, because if he was already moving along and talking about what it takes to be a part of the pack, then he must be playing with the idea of accepting Kylon into their family of powerful wolves. Kylon wasn't going to get his hopes up too high, because this dark Beta could still only be testing him right now.
The golden eyes of Kylon flicked as he noticed the shadows around him started to sink back into the ground and disappear. That must have just been another test of bravery that Kylon assumed he had passed since playing with scary shadows, if there was no one to scare, would be quite boring. He casually turned back to face the Beta directly, his eyes finding the dark orbs of the other male.
"Oh, of course. It's a blood commitment. I wouldn't expect anything less." Kylon almost purred in the same way that the Beta did, but he kept himself from acting too bold. Humility and respect where always the best first impressions to higher ranking figures, especially figures who were also much larger and stronger than oneself. "Like I said, I'd let myself burn alive from the inside before I would ever let weakness stain my actions or thoughts." His eyes remained on the Beta as he continued with a calm voice, "I truly believe I would be a great asset to your ranks, but it is solely your act of trust and faith that I will adhere to." A gentle dip of his head signified he had given his answer to his best ability. Now all that was left was to wait for the wise wolf to make his decision.

Li
The beta allows for his sturdy shoulders to relax, it seemed clear that this wolf would give no trouble to this pack, and hopefully it would stay that way. Li barely lifts a brow, more-so wondering how his decision will play out in the future.
"Well versed, well mannered, disciplined to say the most."
Kylon showed no fear and showed respect, the only thing that lacked on Kylon's part is proof that he is as evil as he claims to be, for the wolf had no blood or the looks of a wolf who has been on killing sprees in his life. However Li would not bother mentioning that to him, for all Li knew, Kylon is just like Li who had never killed a wolf in his life and hasn't unlocked his full potential yet. It also occurred to Li that Kylon may have wanted to hang around evils and joining an evil pack would be perfect.
When he was younger Li would have never wanted to join an evil pack, he didn't want to take the commitment a pack had to offer and being a lone wolf was doing fine for him. He would have never seen himself in this spot he is in now, but wanting to embrace his inner evil got the best of him, and now he deals with every day fearing for the life of his brother if anyone ever found out that the Beta of Midnight Silence and the Alpha of Eternal Snowfall, pack enemies, are in fact brothers.
Li sighs quietly, but quickly straightens himself and looks into the eyes of Kylon "If you are truly ready to accept and commit to pack life, leaving your loner life behind, and whatever family you may have also behind, then your mind will have well been made up."
He pauses for a moment or two, allowing Kylon to collect his thoughts and make his final decision if he had already not. If Kylon changed his mind, no harm would be done, he isn't breaking any rules or anything, and Li would be kind enough to let the wolf walk away unharmed.
Though the likely chance that the wolf would stick to his decision was high, and once Kylon gave his response, Li lifted a paw, his thoughtfully dark sharp claws sticking out as he spoke out "I, Li, Beta of Midnight Silence, mark you, Kylon, with the Mark of Silence, a symbol which will permanently lock you into Midnight Silence Forever."
Li signaled Kylon with his paw, asking him where he would want the marking to be. Once Kylon told Li where he wanted to scar to be, Li would bring his claw forth and onto Kylon's pelt. His claw slightly penetrating into Kylon's flesh, not too deep, his claw going down and around creating a crescent-moon scar that would either turn white or pink once healed.
Li pulls away once he was finished with his handy work, examining it as well since this is the first time he has ever welcomed and marked a new member.
The beta shifts a little to show his own marking on his left shoulder "Our job is to rid the valley of weaklings, do not disappoint, Kylon." Li finished, moving a bit out of Kylon's way to signify that Kylon was now free to enter and roam the territory. Once Li gave Kylon the okay, Li would nod his head and hum, leaving Kylon to himself as Li would turn and walk back where he came from, going back to his nice den to get out of the harsh breeze he is currently in.
-Exit Li

Kylon;
Without making one move other than a slow blink of his eyes, Kylon watched the Beta with an intense stare as he waited to hear what the anticipated answer would be. The next words that came out of his mouth made Kylon's brow twitch, he almost let a grin show on his face, but he controlled his expression. He wasn't going to be the type that would visually show other's that their words or actions could control his outward expressions, positively, or negatively. As much as this seemingly positive assessment that the Beta was giving him made him feel proud and worthy, that was not something that he was going to give the other male as an advantage over him.
The dark eyes of the Beta held a seriousness in them as he continued with his presentation, making sure that Kylon knew what he was getting himself into. For his current season of life Kylon was eighty-five percent sure of the commitment he was making. This wasn't something he could just toss to the side if it seemed to be the wrong fit. This wasn't something he could back out of if it was too tough to finish through to the end. Everything from his past would have to be cut off from his life and mind. The freedom of being a lone hunter would be a distant memory, and he would have to learn to live with the bondage of living his life bound to the strength and rules of a pack. Was he willing to make the lifelong commitment, was he willing to give up his freedoms to have the fangs of a pack by his side. Yes.
Kylon finally shifted and placed his paws in a sturdy stance as he squared his shoulders and faced the Beta head on. "Yes, my mind is set and my decision is final." The Beta declared his name and the words of the forever commitment that Kylon was making in the presence of the Midnight Silence representative. With a dip of his head, Kylon bowed his head in submission and respect and closed his eyes after swiping his paw over the side of his face. The next instant was a flash of pain as Li's claw cut into his skin and carved a sharp crescent onto his cheekbone right under his right eye. A dull stinging pain throbbed on his face as a warm tickle followed with a few droplets of blood that trickled down his cheek. His golden eyes opened again and he blinked a few times from the sting as he watched Li step back and show his own identical marking of a Midnight Silence member.
Kylon felt a shift in his spirit, a breath of pride that left his chest and a glint of excitement in his eyes. He was now one of them. One of the most powerful wolves in the valley. A midnight Silence member. He would live his life with such purpose now, he would wear his mark proudly, bringing fear to all those who were unworthy. Li gave one more demand before nodding his acceptance and permission and then walking away. Kylon dipped his head in obedience, Li didn't need any more words from him, so he stayed silent in his excitement. Despite how proud of a moment this was for him, Kylon kept his demeanor of submission and respect and watched as the Beta left. This was the beginning of a new chapter in Kylon's life and it was started with the mark of Silence, and it would be written in the ink of blood.
-Exit Kylon
