Wrong way in!

[kouga]

Kouga smirked and stayed in his spot ' true as that may be Sealla i belive your name is.' [/b] he definatly didn't want a fight but he was hungry and the girl was easy prey he just had to get the others out of here first. ' but who is being rude, you who come here into the forest and act like it is your land, do you not have the tunnels, i would not dream of coming to the tunnels for that is rude to come to ones home without permission.'[/b] he moved forward slightly but only a foot or two. he counted them, Amelia, Danni, Paige and Sealla four to one was not good odds. ' leave the girl and go and i will not say a word more to any of you, i do respect you as older lycans but to me the old lycan seem to be the ones who keep the ideas that one wages war for.'[/b]

[Sealla (Retired)]

The girl shook her head once more. "I don't believe we - the tunnel Lycans - have no right to be here. This isn't just your home. It's also public land for the school, even though the students arent allowed here." She tut-tutted the boy. He was so young, and had yet to learn of arrogance against elders truely.

"But if it really bugs you to the extreme, I will leave. I will be back in time..." The girl turned her back on the boy, probably not exactly a smart move but she didn't care, he posed no thread to her, "...to claim a human that has entered here, since you decided to take her from us. Amelia has the right to her, wether or not you agree." It seemed as though she was speaking to no one, for she wasn't looking at anyone.

"Amelia, take the girl." Sealla said aloud to her pup. "By the way, Kouga, you lay a hair on this brown wolf here, and I will have your head and place it on a stake outside of the tunnels. I bid you goodday" The black-haired girl began to walk towards the trees which thinned out, but stopped, awaiting Daniela and Amelia.

[kouga]

Kouga almost laughed at her last comment 'Why would i hurt Amelia? she is a lycan and i met her once before remember and i kinda like the girl so i will not harm her'[/b] he moved forward a bit ' but i do have to comment on why she led a human child so deep into the forest if she is not going to eat the girl, it is cruel humor do you not think so.'[/b]

He wondered if he could hit a nerve with the elder lycan
' you and i were made by the same Women and i correct i can smell it on you, faint but it is still there, so wouldn't that make us siblings.'[/b] he showed himself on a ridge overlooking them, his sliver/grey furs laying straight on his back and his ears perked as if he was the happiest lycan in the world 'I am sorry if i acted as if i were betetr or greater then you and yours but it is my hunting lands and i have been following these ones for a time now and they have a cruelty to them that would make them great in our pack as they are with yours.'[/b] he smiled a bit 'My dear sister lycan if i may call you this, i respect you and your pack utmostly but i still do not understand why the elders of our packs feel this need to fight in awar that has nothing to do withthis age, let the old ways die and become somthing new, i belive the best term would be a Evil for this time, a new form a evil, the cranker in the heart of the rose if you will, evil in the midst of things.'[/b] he knew he was rambling but he wanted to find out why the tunnels and forest foght for somthing that mad little difference in their world now

[Sealla (Retired)]

She moved her gaze to the side, as if speaking to someone beside her, but stood with her back still facing the male Lycan. "No, I don't believe that it is cruel humour. This forest is the home of every creature other than human, so she has no right to be here." Sealla dissagreed.

His next comment startled Sealla a little bit. How dare he read her thoughts?! But she didn't let it get the better of her. If she got angry, she didn't want to take it out on the boy, let alone infront of Danni and Amelia. "What exactly do you mean by 'I have been following these ones for a time now and they have a cruelty to them that would make them great in our pack as they are with yours.'?" asked Sealla.

But she lead onto another statement. "The reason the pack of the tunnels split into two - The Forest Lycans and the original Tunnel Lycans - is that Chailyn and her late brother Railyn had a different view of things to Morgana, so they decided to leave, taking with them Mondia of whome used to be the elder of the Tunnel pack." The raven-haired girl turned back around to face the boy once more.

"They started a new pack of Lycans, and my were they big. Not exactly powerful might I add, but big. They accepted all kinds of Lycans. But at the end of last year, the majority of the Lycans left, leaving Chailyn, Rikka and Mondia. I say this story out of the respect of both the clans, for I was there on the cusp of their leaving." She stopped for a few minutes in silence.

"I don't know the exact story of why they left, because I was only a pup then, only new to the Tunnels. But if you really want to know the rest of it to support your curious mind, consult Chailyn. She'd tell a better tale than I."

Sealla stopped now, awaiting Amelia and Danni to join her. But decided to add something more. "You have much to learn. For joining the Forest Clan will -as Paige said- make you support them to the death, and kill every human that comes in here." she began to watch her words, for Rikka was still there in the group, and no doubt the forest had more ears than hers.

[kouga]

Kouga melted into his human form and leapt from the ridge down the 6 feet to Sealla and her pups "but you see I have no joined them entirely, I was made by them and I do respect them and I live here now amongst then and I do agree to many of their terms of thinking as I hate humans as much as they in certain fields of though." he stopped to catch his breath from the jump and to think then he continued "What I must ask you is why is this war between the pack on anyway, I see no reason for us to fight we are the same, only certain beliefs differ from each other." he ask with a tilted head wondering this sense the moment he had heard of the war and no asking a key player in it "My turner told me this was my punishment for entering the forest without consent to become a lycan she also told me I may due with it as I see fit, I have my own beliefs on the matter of humans and loyalty to my own kind." he looked at Amelia, Danni and Paige for a moment then back to Sealla "The brown pup is your so you care for her like she was of your own womb do you not?" he said in a question form but it was a statement of fact to be sure

He thought on it a moment "You cherish your pack, and you have large number in it because they either fear the forest or they fear what they are and believe that with you they will lead better lives, this is interesting to say the least of the matter." he looked into cold eyes , eyes that sent a chill down his spine as it echoed the eyes of the ones who had taken from him everything he had ever held dear. " Do all old ones detach themselves so from humans or their own kind for that matter, your pup adores you that anyone can tell from the way she looks at you, your her personal god and savior but why did you make her?" he wondered this "Did she show promise as a lycan or did you hunt her and show mercy on her instead of taking her life?" he realized he sounded rude and made to apologize for it "I am sorry for my tone and my attitude but not for my words, I am a loner and have always been but this pack made me into the true me I feel at home here and i follow their rules, better that then end up like poor hayzie and be the prisoner." he grinned "Not like they hold that any more then a title is it, she leaves and goes to her other family , your tunnels, what makes you hold to them so?" he ask he wondered everything, he had a curiosity that by far made Amelia's seem dim and bleak.

[Sealla (Retired)]

ooc: Jeeze! Take a breath!

bic: Those cold eyes didn't wish to meet the boy's, so her eyes moved towards the clearing of the Forest. He reminded Sealla of herself a bit. His thoughts of the war and his curiosity really. "If you really must know, I have the same views as you do. I don't support the war itself, but I will support my pack in their decisions." The woman shook her head slowly. "But you don't seem to realise there is no war any longer. Merely a dislike of eachother. Our clans don't like eachother, as you may tell, but there is no fighting. No physical war has begun, merely a Lycanthrope version of the non-magical humans' Cold War. Words flying everywhere." Sealla paused to take a breath.

"But I still will cause bloodshed if my loved ones, the Tunnel pack, is in any way harmed. And that is the view of many Lycans in either clan."

Alas, she grew a little more angry with the boy's assumptions. "You assume that most Lycans join the original clan out of fear or seeking help, is that right? You don't have the right to assume. Lycans each have their own reason for joining our clan. Some like yourself were turned unwillingly, some hated humans and decided to join us to go against them. Need I say more?"

But at his question on Amelia, she stopped for a few minutes more.
"She is like you. Turned unwillingly." was all she replied.

"But you say you're a loner, yet you defend their pack, live in their territory, abide by their rules and support each of them? To me, that doesn't add up. You're more of a pack member to them than a loner." she added. Wether or not he liked it, he seemed to come accross as one of them.

Before she was about to take a step towards the exit of the trees, "By the way, Hayzie is a prisoner as you said. How do you know she's visited the Tunnels? You didn't join the school - let alone been a Lycan - long enough ago to be here at the time of when she visited us, so what if I said she didn't visit us? That you were lying?" His ignorance and arrogance was really beginning to get on Sealla's nerves. He was such a young pup, how could he know anything? And he'd only joined the school not over two weeks ago.

[Sealla (Retired)]

ooc: ok. Now I am officially done ^^ Sorry it took so long...

[kouga]

OOC: it is ok by all means, oh and very nice post

Kouga blushes slightly at her words "Well for the simple fact that she is always disappearing and well i guess i assumed she went to you seeing as she hates the forest with a passion that rivals my own in my hatred for the humans." he stopped when he realized something she had said didn't make sense at all to him either, why did he act like them when he didn't want to be with them totally.

He looked at her for a moment "your right that doesn't add up does it, well maybe it is because i do like to be alone but still know i have a place to call home as well, i think we all like that." he smiled for a moment "you say that the forest and tunnels use to be one big clan correct?" he ask but before getting a answer he continued "And you say that a simple fight over how who felt what about humans split the clan in half, well more or less." he toke a deep breath "so your saying humans did something that most likely no other race could do and split a powerful pack in two simply by existing, how silly is that." he said playfully then he continued "But families fight each other all the time over stupid stuff like what they all believe in but it never keeps them apart for long, grudges do that but not simple fights." he smiled at the pups then back at Sealla "I am sure if you ask each of the tunnel pack member you will find that each of them have a different opinion then you do or even your elder, i believe her name is Morgana. But do they split off and form a clan all their own, no because they hold to their family strongly all young ones do." he toke another breath and made a mental note to tape record his speeches in advance so he didn't have to talk so much, this made him smile. "You went with the tunnels even though the one who made you stayed in the forest, you felt bounded to the tunnel lycans as a family that’s why you would kill anyone who harms them, just like a family would kill to protect each other." he stopped for a moment to take a breath again and feel the breezes blow by.

He smiled at her and spoke again "I know you must find me to big for myself right now but why does it seem the old ones still carry the grudge of the old fight, big deal they were both wrong, the sides i mean. Why do you think the younger lycans seem to play or get along well together without fail unless they are tainted with the old ones hatred... i am not i feel love for Amelia and the other ones with you as i feel for you and for my maker and Rikka." he smirked "I love my kind in ways that all lycans should this fight or war or whatever you may call it seems pointless to me and once the old ones are gone who will carry on their fight but the ones they infect with hatred." he sat down on a log and sighed sadly.

"It is a shame i could not see the old clan in its glory before the fights before the idiotic ways of the old ones got in the way, those with their sense of good and evil, tell me what does the word good mean." he said looking at her "As a mortal i was a good son, a good brother, a good hunter, a good student, and now i am a good killer a good lycan so much for the understanding of the word good." he said looking from each of the faces of the lycans forgetting of the human girl and the others there. "I feel hatred for humans because they are self centered, greedy, idiotic, and weak in more ways then just strength.. if you offer a dieing mortal immortality they will take it without fail no matter how good of a life they lived, they are so full of greed as to take everything they see and call it theirs, they consider us animals that are barely smarter then normal wolves in the woods, so why do you dislike them, my family is my reason and this new family the lycan race is my reason for living." he toke a breath

"forgive the long speech but there are my beliefs as i see them, do you think that i am a fool for wanting to have a family to have people i can love and cherish as you do your pack?" he said with a half sad look in his eyes " DO you think i enjoy being here to live like this, well i do in a way immortality was my punishment for stepping into these woods and if i am meant to be punished by living forever then i will find someone to build my temple against time with as we all should."

OOC: forgive the long post please

[Maí Lé Rosà]

{ooc}: Thank you Paige. You Lycans ought to listen to this one; he's a wise one, despite the fact that you think he's young. It is usually the young one's that bring new ideas and new beginnings, remember that...

{bic}: The scarlet in Mai's irises swirled as she watched Shae retrieve her items and repair them as best she could. The demoness played a smirk across her lovely painted lips, stinging the eyes of others with her flawless appearance. She spared a thought for the newcomer that had crept into their little circle, offering his own words of cooperation. He was a sly one, new too.

The demoness felt the eyes of others on her back but alas, she admired the attention. Her delicate hands rose and she slipped her gloves off, replacing them down the top crevice of her corsét where they would remain untouched, or splattered with the blood of the theif's severed hands who dared to touch dangerous territory.

A red garter strap embroided with roses ran up the visible part of her bare leg, between the magenta ruffles of her dress and the hard lining of her leather boots at her knee. Her corsét was laced tightly, perhaps even tighter than the worn and frayed laces of her boots. The way her skin-tight bodice and boots almost melted with her pale body, and the flowing skirt of her dress drifted in a wave off her hips, she simply seemed magical in her looks.

It wouldn't take her audiance long to realise her flawless looks weren't her only gift and talent...

She lifted a hand to Shae, her palm facing the girl as she outstretched it closer. It almost looked as though she was pitifully trying to protect herself from the sword, but anyone with skilled ears and knowledge would pick up immediately on what the demoness was doing.

Cursing the beautiful blade of the sword, she held her hand still, her lips moving with unmatchable speed as she muttered an unknown language under her breath. It sounded close to latin. Her eyes flashed a solid silver as she stared Shae directly in the eyes, a feirce wind rattling through the trees of the forest towards the group.

Caedes tuus erus
Combibo venae...

Caedes tuus erus
Combibo venae...

Caedes tuus erus
Combibo venae...

Avolo!

The demoness raised both her hands and cried the last loudly, the shade of her eyes turning a blood-red. The sword in Shae's hand bent backwards as Mai chanted repeatedly, forming an arc until it's sharp point was facing it's owners face. As Mai shouted the last word, the sword uncontrollably shot from the girl's grasp and spun at an incredible speed, becoming a blur to even the eyes of the demoness. It was impossible to catch.

Another smirk slid into the corner of her lips as the sword flew high into the air, disappearing up in the heavens, undetectable. Mai knew that the girl could not call for her sword due to a disfunctional wand and the inability to see the object she was summoning. This made the demoness chuckle in slight satisfaction for she also knew that if the girl tried to summon her sword, as special as it was, the curse would take hold and hurtle towards her heart with shellshocking precision.

"Entertainment indeed..." She cooed softly, her eyes returning to their natural ruby colour.

{ooc}: Don't worry Kouga, I myself am a fan of long posts, as you may have already noticed. Also, for those of you who do not know latin a quick and inaccurate translation of what I wrote was:
Caedes tuus erus = Kill your owner
Combibo venae... = Drink/spill her blood...
Avolo! = Fly!

[Shae]

The girl was beginning to tire of entertaining. She was well beyond sick of long speeches. And now she was angry.

"Alright, now I'd would really appreciate it if the speechmakers would clear off. Her ladyship and I have some business to attend to. Including me getting back my sword."

Right then, she didn't care if her wand had been in a million peices before, she didn't care that her life was at stake, and she really didn't care if she was practically alone in the forest at night.

She stretched out her right hand, and yelled at the top of her lungs "ACCIO!"

She didn't care if it was sensible, but raw power, especially hers, had been known to cause trouble. It had been part of the reason she had been sent away from her old school in Romania.

"What goes up, must come down." She whispered.

And only she knew that the swords real owner lay buried in Romania, which was to her back. The sword had never been hers, only leant to her.

While she waited for her sword to come back, the girl made pleasant conversation.

"Some day I would like to try that spell myself. I've looked in so many books for a spell that could do something like that, I just wish that I hadn't found it that way."

Toby had stepped on her wand five years ago. She had repaired it with her sword five seconds later. The girl had kept both with her ever since. The wand wasn't disfuntional, just restricting.

"I don't think you were listening before, were you? I said that if you tried something like that again, I'd have to hurt you." The words spilled out of her mouth.

"I keep my promises."

The girl's eyes had lost any hint of green when the sword had gone flying off into the night. Now anger filled her, and her eyes were blacker than the night that surrounded her. Her purple hair, having exploded from it's tie when her raw power had thundered forth, now caught the wind.

She was angry, and wild.

[Maí Lé Rosà]

Mai chuckled bitterly. Her own ivory hair flew wildly around her shoulders and the purple hair of the girl infront of her caught her attention. She was a pretty little thing really. "My, with a temper like yours I will enjoy this to a stretched extent." She ran her bare hands over her hips, glancing up to the sky as a flash of silver availed. The sword was returning.

This surprised Mai a little, for she didn't imagine the girl would be capable of summoning it back from such a height and at such a speed. Nontheless, the demoness had to play it safe, the sword appeared to have some ancient magic warped into it or something of the sort. If Shae wanted her sword back, she would get it, directly from the hands of yours truly.

A loud whoosh circled the clearing as two massive ebony wings sliced through Mai's shoulder blades, slapping the forest ground with the friction of gravity and air. Dust and dirt flew around the demoness, not high enough to reach her face, for she stood remarkably tall. Her wings stretched to their full span and she smiled deceivingly at Shae. "Allow me, m'dear."

She whispered simply, before diving upwards into the wind currents and soaring into the heavens up high. This was one chance if any for the girl to run for her life, for her to attempt to escape and reach the safety of the castle, or at least hide. Secretely Mai knew this girl wouldn't stoop to such a pathetic effort, but putting this aside, the demoness still didn't waste her time.

Streaking invisibly through the sky she suddenly stopped, sending a split-second flash of light around herself at the break in speed. If anyone was to defy gravity, Mai was the mistress of it, and she knew it all too well. She spotted the sword in mid-fall and plumetted down towards it and the ground.

The black blur of the demoness grasped it out of the air cleanly between her lithe fingers. She coaxed it back into shape quickly and hastely eyed up the distance between Shae and herself. Her wings fanned out slowly, steadying her as she lowered herself back through the canopy. As she was still a good distance from the ground she levelled her throw accurately and threw the sword with incredible speed.

No doubt before the mortal had realised it was no longer in Mai's hand, it had sunk deeply into Shae's right foot, slicing easily through her tender flesh and quite low into the earth underneath. She was pinned to a standing position until she dared remove the sword, which was obviously going to cause agonising pain.

Mai landed quietly on the ground a little ways away from the lycans. She approached in an almost tired manner, folding her graceful wings behind her back effortlessly. She tilted her neck to one side, allowing it to crack pleasurably, before ressuming her sly stance infront of the bleeding girl.

Mai knew she had passed this girl's line of temper a while ago, however she was indeed pleased with Shae's strong and brave reaction to everything so far. Now, however, Mai would inflict wound after wound, seeing how much the girl's body could handle. She also knew however, that she would recieve some wounds in return, and this did nothing but fuel Mai's interest.

"Let the games begin." She hissed, awaiting her opponents next move, or first move rather.

[Daniela]

The green-eyed blonde watched them all, she wasn't able to react. Sealla and Kouga talked so much about the war between the lycan clans,

Daniela asked nothing about that, since the day she was turned. Now, she could understand.
"The war between the clans is useless, our only enemies are the humans!" she said loudly, she stepped closer to the group.

"Humans..what are they?" her voice was disgusted "think they're better then others, arrogant, selfish, disloyal." Danni sighed, she sat on a fallen tree and continued.

"Power hungry...some humans want to be turned into Lycans or Vampires to be immortal, they don't understand that immortality is terrifying! Yes Kouga, immortality is your punishment for breaking the rules..."

"I was turned willingly, but not because I want to be powerful and strong...humans' repulse me, better dead then to be like them...at least most of them" another sigh escaped her bright pink lips.

"Like I said, the war is useless...I wish someone could understand that..." Danni looked up, she watched her lycan friends. Somehow, she felt lost, like the war was keeping them apart...

Not only the clans, however the Lycans themselves...
You have to protect your home Kouga...as we protect the tunnels, the girl isn't connected to the forest. She's an intruder, but it's your home... she sent to the forest lycan.

Her gaze went up, as she watched the stars and thought about every word she just said...

[Isaac]

"Of all the explaining I have to do, why does it have to be to Lycans?" Came a tired voice as Isaac descended through a hole in the forest canopy.

As he descended, the onlookers might perhaps have been reminded of the Angel of Death falling to earth, such as Isaac seemed, clad in all black garments, with his equally black archangel's wings. Isaac folded his wings tighter around himself to avoid them to be entangled by random branches, and he dropped softly to the Forest Floor. He looked at Daniela with his sightless, yet all-seeing gaze. "Perhaps you are more human that you care to believe, what with such a constant need for an enemy to vanquish." He began.

[Xavier]

Xavier walked into the Forest, sensing a group of different species. Some were Lycan, one was a vampire, there were demons, and humans. Quite the unprecedented gathering. Xavier couldn't even identify who everyone was. He came closer and nodded to those that he knew - Daniela, Amelia, Sealla, that demon-boy Issac - among others.

"Well, well, well. What have we here?" he said, crossing his arms and leaning up against a tree.
