Playing with Shadows of the Night(open)

[wolflivez]

Jolfo whimpered as he saw the shadow snake-like creatures slither towards him. He couldn't move; he was frozen with fear. Jolfo closed his eyes, waiting for certain death. The sight of so much blood dizzied him, and his vision already darkening, he tried to get up and run but he tripped miserably in the process. As he quickly looked at his tail, he could already see the snakes catching up. He quickly scrambled to his paws and tried to run. His paw kept bleeding, gushing out blood like a waterfall. His bloodied tracks and fear-scent could make it easy to track down. Jolfo wondered why he was running for this reason. Jolfo was near exhaustion, so he tried to rub the blood on the grass so that he could hide somewhere to find someone to fix up his paw. By now, he had his paw pads healing, but the memory of the snakes and the wolf's blank stare at him stung. Jolfo quickly sprinted to an empty-looking den close to him, trying to not be visible with his mostly orange coat.



(ayyyy, my first 210 word post xD)


(sorry about the snake bite thing. I thought that they would actually behave like snakes. I edited the post, so now it shouldn't be as bad now, right? :/)

Nox:

The starry furred she wolf kept a rather calm expression but her gaze had flitte d back and forth between the two. Her unique gaze looking to Yami and then again to Nyx. Though her fur seemed to prickle,the scent of blood and if a new wolf hit her nose and she gave a small growl escaped her light blue maw. Her gaze landing on the he wolf who was limping away. Her moved ever so slightly back before she forced the same calm she had moment before back upon herself. Her gaze narrowed she had watched the wolf vanish so she followed it her head low ears flicked back. She wouldn't kill the he wolf,to her that was too easy. So her solution was find the he wolf following his putrid fear scent that laid a heavy scent trail easy to follow. Lifting her head ever so slightly she followed the trail that she could see and smell. The she wolf came upon the den and focusing she felt the glow of her mark on her chest just before smog circled around her as she stood at the den. She wouldn't kill him but that didn't mean she wouldn't taunt the male."Hey you!"She said raising her voice her icy gaze shone through the smog that covered her and some of the area but not by much and even doing this was exhausted but she need to practice."come on out. I won't bite"Nox said before she muttered"hard"

Nyx, Yami;

Nyx watched the male, half-surprised and half-amused, as he arrived, then up and bolted once more. Her shadow-snakes seemed to have done the trick, but ultimately couldn't hurt him—he didn't seem to know that, though. Nox trotted after him, then Nyx sighed to herself, wondering whether to stay or go. She eyed Yami, wondering if perhaps she could find some use for her after all.

"Follow," She commanded, her voice a dry husk. She gave her fur a shake, sending the hay-like fibers into a frenzy of movement, then slouched through the trees, down another dark path. She knew Yami would not run. She couldn't. Nyx owned her now, and more than that, she doubted that the pup could even function without her anymore.
-Exit Nyx-

Yami blinked, not moving, as if frozen to the spot that Nyx had last placed her. Her wide, sunken eyes moved slowly up to the treeline, listening as the shadow-demon's paw falls fell away, and saw the last of the shadow snakes slipping off in her wake. Yami took a shaky breath, as if she had been holding it.
Nyx had never left her alone before. But what to do? Run? Hide? Kill herself?

No. Follow.

The smoke-like female jumped into action, falling into Nox's scent trail and closing the distance quickly. In a short time, she had arrived at the den where the male had hid himself. Nox was outside, speaking to him, asking him to come out. Yami walked up as well, too thin and strangely mute. She stopped a few paces behind Nox, watching the mouth of the den with wide eyes.

(EDIT: Fixed my post to match the changes! Oh my goodness, Talie is hovering right on the edge of really hecking annoying XD)

Taliesan had absolutely no idea of the dark doings that were happening in the woods. Not only that, Taliesan failed to comprehend the dark doings when he happened to stumble across them. He had thoroughly lost track of the time, and where he was. It hadn't felt like a long time since he had stumbled across that black-and-gray female, Shadewalker, but then before he knew it, the sun was sinking below the hills and the shadows were growing stronger. Or was that his imagination? He shook his head, smiling broadly as he trotted heavy-step through the mossy woods. Golly-goodness, he always felt great after spreading the word of the White Wolves to poor heathens. That she-wolf hadn't even known that their godesses ruled from the great mountain above them, let alone their roles and the powers that they could grant.

Talie sighed, heaving his lanky form up onto a soggy redwood log bridging the mire, and started across. He closed his eyes and beamed, ignoring (or failing to notice) just how close to the edge of the makeshift bridge his careless paws slipped. He opened his eyes and leaped down onto the other side, sinking ankle deep into the mud. He hummed pleasantly and shook it off of his paws, spraying the bases of the trees around.

Taliesan really didn't see that he had stumbled into the middle of a conflict until he found himself trotting through a thick cordon of bushes, and emerging directly in between one—no, two female wolves, and one small male. The little one had been injured, but Talie didn't realize that until later. His eyes took in the scene, and lit up. The scent of a third she-wolf, one who had newly left the scene whose scent had not yet faded, caught his nose. Power hung in the air like a cloying perfume. The she-wolf nearest him, she was wielding supernatural smog, powerful clouds of darkness and confusion that could only have been granted by one creature under these skies....

"You are a follower of my lady Geist! I see it from your great strength!" He yapped, his joy overcoming his ability to form more than the most obvious of statements. His eyes slipped from the more powerful she-wolf, to the other one. Was she too, gifted as the first was? Then he remembered the pup, who stood crouched and bleeding behind him. His bright eyes widened and his tail started to curl and wave. "Ohhh! I see! You've come to learn of her ways, little one? That is most admirable to seek the wisdom of ones so powerful as she!" He nodded back at Nox, his youthful body virtually quivering with excitement and zeal.

Jolfo limped out of the den, knowing that he had been found. He heard a voice outside of the den. Well, he couldn't hide now. He limped out of the den, unknowing of what they were about to do to him. Jolfo whispered a faint hello. His cuts had began to heal, but just by a little bit. His paw pads, never tortured before by the running he had just done ached. "Well, it doesn't matter what I feel anymore. These wolves may kill me or make me a slave." Jolfo thought. "What even was the point of life for the slaves?"

Nox:

Nox had watched the he wolf her gaze focused on him as she kept the smog up. It would have bothered anyone's eyes at the moment but not hers. She let it disappate as she heard Yami figuring Nyx was with her. She glanced back ever so slightly as she spotted Yami but not Nyx,which to her seemed weird but then again she didn't know Nyx at all not that she wanted to. Her gaze then snapped up hearing the movement of another wolf before she spotted the he wolf land right nearby for a moment she drew her lips back revealing her fangs. She onlybremained silent for a moment until the smog vanished completely and her mark stopped glowing at her chest."yes I know Geist. She blessed me with a power. Who are you"She growled menacingly for a moment. She didn't know this wolf or where he was from but she didn't know why he was talking like the way he was. She them went back to her slightly relaxed state as he continued to speak about wisdom and what not to the wolf in the den calling her powerful. Her head flicked to the side just before her gaze moved to Jolfo as she heard the quiet hello and he came from the den.

((Hey Scrib! Just making sure you know that Yami is also a pup She is Nyx's servant from Midnight Silence. I can see how it would be confusing coming in, sorry!))

Yami;

The other pup crawled out of the den, hurt, seeming to have given up already. Yami's eyes didn't widen, for they were half-lidded and appeared dull, but her mind clicked into speed. He would give up so easily? It almost looked to her as if he wanted help, but she thought that was rather ridiculous as well. Help, from wolves he didn't even know? She looked to Nox, tilting her head ever so slightly as she did so, a movement that she had mimicked from Nyx unknowingly.
This female was evil. Not quite so evil as her master, it was true, but evil all the same. Yami felt a pull to shout for the other young pup to run away, but she couldn't quite form the words.

Then another wolf appeared and Yami swiveled again, her joints creaking, looking more and more like a shadow of Nyx, try as she might not to. This new wolf was male. Yami didn't have a lot of experiences with males—only Fenrir, who she still bore scars from. She shivered, the first movement she had made other than the turning of her neck. Were all males as evil? The new adult yipped something about Geist. Geist? Nyx had mentioned Geist before. Geist, the lady of the darkness, the true master of evil. Nyx had told Yami of her power. But he seemed only to be happy that they had heard of her, so Yami didn't feel the need to explain.

The male pup mumbled out a hello, then, and Yami's head flicked to him once more. She took a few slow steps forward, then stopped off to the side, staring at him. The adults were behind the two pups now, but one of the pups was in significantly more trouble than the other. Yami watched as his paws bled and he looked up helplessly. Her master would make short work of him...

"Yes I know Geist. She blessed me with a power. Who are you?"

The harsh notes in her voice went fully over his head. He trotted around to sit immediately beside the young pup, Jolfo, and placed a huge paw heavily on his head in a gestures of goodnatured camaraderie—albeit misplaced and poorly timed. He shook his head, his big ears flopping comically.

“I am nobody but for what the White Wolves have made me.” He said. His eyes scrunched happily and he waved his tail. “My name is Taliesan. I am of no family but those who lifted me from the slopes of the mountain.”

His eyes dropped from the powerful she-wolf to the little flame-and-smoke pup cringing at her side. Finally, his eyes caught some of the fear—terror—that hung in the air around them all like the smog from the wolf of power. A confusion snuck into his eyes. “Are you afraid? He asked. He glanced quickly at Nox, then back to Yami.

[wolflivez]

Jolfo answered with a meek voice. "Y-Yes.. I don't know who these wolves are.." Jolfo looked at his paw. "Am I that bad?" Jolfo sighs, as his eyes cloud with his thoughts. He makes the mistake of looking at the wolves straight in the eyes. A chill goes up his spine. He quickly looks away and cringes. Jolfo lets out a slight whimper. Jolfo thinks, "What have I gotten myself into.. Why am I so stupid? I could've snuck out of that spot without ruining my paw, and getting myself here in the first place!" Jolfo grimaces and looks back at the wolf who talked to him. Jolfo suddenly asks, "Am I going to die?"

Nox:

The she wolf had watched, with interest sparkling in her icy blue and blue ringed eyes, as the he wolf came from the den asking for help. Well if the welp wanted help she could offer it. She could take the he wolf under her wing. That could be a thing at least, right? She wouldn't do as Nyx did with Yami but she could make the he wolf evil if she took her time doing so. As if thinking about Yami,Nox turned her gaze to the pup as it moved,joints creaking before she looked back to Jolfo. Deep in thought for a moment. Her gaze then snapped to Taliesan "good for you then. I'm Nox"she said straight to the point. She almost didn't hear Jolfo' s answer to Taleisan but she did. "Nah you aren't that bad yet"She said as she made her way over almost pushing Taliesan away from the he wolf as an idea came back to her mind. Am I going to die? She heard the male ask. As she dragged her dark blue tail around the he wolf moving closer to him and she said."no, you aren't going to die. Though that depends on your answer of course"She said with a small but eerie smile."noe you said you needed help. I can help you but question is will you travel with me"She asked with a small tilt of her head. If one didn't know she was evil then one would think she was just a curious kind looking she wolf."I can take you under my wing you could be...cared for....Fully fed,and wounds tended to often"She spoke thinking of what the he wolf might want to hear.

(Lol wolflivez up to you on where this goes just thought it'd would be interesting to have her do that )

((LMAO good catch Spira, my bad!))

Yami;

The biggest male seemed completely at ease, even when Nox spoke to him harshly. Yami watched in interest. It was curious to her, that any wolf wouldn't show fear when faced with unfamiliar wolves; it was just an instinct to her, and a learned one at that. It wasn't that she found Nox frightening, in general and especially not when paired next to her master—but the older female was still unfamiliar, and unfamiliar wolves could do anything. Fenrir had been unfamiliar, and he had all but ripped her apart.
As Yami was watching Nox, deciding whether or not she respected her if she did not fear her, the bigger male, the one seemingly infatuated with the White Wolves, asked her if she was afraid, as if reading her mind. Her smokey-black eyes turned to him, devoid of all emotion. Yes, Yami felt fear. Almost all the time. She had just been dwelling on it—but to show it was to show weakness, and was she afraid at that moment?

She blinked slowly, considering. She wasn't afraid of him, that was for sure—though she was afraid of Fenrir and for all she knew the two males could be similar. She thought on it a bit more and realized that no, she wasn't actually afraid of Nox, either. The other male was too whiny to strike real fear in her (too similar, perhaps was closer to the mark), either, so that left her with only one conclusion.

"No, I'm not afraid," She said, and her voice was low and dull, but loud enough to carry over and answer Taliesan's question. She then heard the other male whimper something out. When it registered, she actually scoffed—harsher than she had intended. "What, die from that?" She continued tonelessly, glancing at his paw. "Not unless you keep whining about it and one of these other wolves wants to shut you up..."
Her words might have been unsettling if she had said them with any sort of vigor, but instead she said them in an almost bored tone of voice. It was that that made it unsettling more than anything. Nox answered the male by talking about options and deals and other things that Yami quickly stopped listening to. She fixed the bleeding male with dead but intense eyes.
