- Izaak - 12-21-2010 [html] OOC here: Sorry, it's been unusually cold where I am at (enough to actually get snow) and I'm anemic so I can't keep body heat so I've been freezing lately and unable to feel my fingers and toes; 522 words
Izaak had wandered away from Inferni again. He headed in a direction that he had never traveled before. And why? Because of the snow that covered the ground. He found himself making leaping steps so that he would sink in more with each step that was taken. The cold that seeped in between his toes had him grinning and giggling. Even though he was among the adult ranks he still acted much like a child. But what was there for him to do when he lacked a skill set? It was amazing that he had even survived this long. But that was only because he always had someone around to care for him and watch over him. Always someone to bring him food since he couldn't hunt. But now he was living on his own. Well, not entirely since he was still near the mansion where the rest of his family lived. Even so he had been banished from the big house and forced to live in the guard house all by himself. There had even been occasions when his Unky Cotl would lock the gate so that he couldn't get to the mansion and invade it.
As he enjoyed himself he began to sing. "Es schneit! Es schneit! Kommt alle aus dem Haus! Die Welt, die Welt Sieht wie gepudert aus." It was a song that one of his mother's many visitors had taught him. He rather liked that guy since he didn't mind getting down and playing with Izaak and his siblings. Since he visited often it was from him that Izaak had learned to speak both German and English. Of course one day he had just stopped showing up. Izaak had never questioned the reason behind that though. He knew better than to ask his mother.
The coyote boy glanced over at the reindeer that pranced along at his side. He bent down some snow in his hands and tossed it on the already white creature and laughed. "Es schneit! Es schneit! Das müßt ihr einfach sehn! Kommt mit! Kommt mit! Wir wollen rodeln gehn." He sang the words as loud as he could as he ran forward, laughing at Blitzen leaping through the snow in order to keep up. But then again Izaak was easily amused and it didn't take much to entertain him. But that was just a part of who he was.
Before he knew it he found his way through a forest and to an opening in the mountain. He remembered something like this in Inferni. Was there some way that he had found his way back there even though he remembered walking past the skull lined borders of the clan? Still he couldn't help calling out into the cave as he sang still. "Aus grau wird weiß, aus laut wird leis' die Welt wird zugedeckt und von der Frühlingssonne wird sie wieder aufgeweckt." He called out the words into the cave as he stepped inside and glanced around. Blitzen didn't seem as ease as Izaak did for he stuck close to the coyote boy and remained alert while Izaak had his bit of fun. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Theodore Stone - 12-21-2010 [html]
- Izaak - 12-28-2010 [html] OOC here: Was going to wait for Scorpius but with Nuki sick Imma go ahead and post cause Zak needs to die off around the beginning of next year. So get this over with quick?; 326 words
"Nur suchen." He responded, turning to look at the other that had come up. "Was machst du?" He formed his own question in return. He had no idea that the land was claimed. He didn't know how to tell scent marks or any of that. For all he knew he could be back in Inferni because there were caves there as well. He didn't understand that he was trespassing because a visual border hadn't been marked out for him. Because of that he failed to realize that he was in the wrong.
Blitzen sensed the aggression of the wolf and eased himself away from the situation. He reached to nudge his head against Izaak's arm before bolting. Though he followed the coyote youth around willingly the flight instinct was still present in the face of danger. And well that is exactly what he was getting from this situation. The reindeer disappeared through the trees, thinking Izaak would chase after him like usual.
But the coyote didn't. He stayed in place, figuring that Blitzen was going to hide and so giving him time to do so before going to find him. After all it was a game that had been played before. "Sie wollen zu spielen?" He asked the other, not seeing the danger in the situation as his companion had. No, the displayed aggression only had him dipping his head down meekly and glancing shyly up at the other male as he waited for an answer to his question. It was how he dealt with his mother when she was upset. He made himself look pitiful and hoped that it would work. Sometimes it would, usually when the offer to play was added on. Of course most times it didn't and so he had to be ready to run. Though Zak was cornered and didn't really have anywhere to run except into the cave and it was too dark for Izaak to want to try that. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Theodore Stone - 12-30-2010 [html]

Hardly anyone around in this area seemed to speak German but he still hadn't stopped trying. Who knew, he might eventually run into someone that knew the language. Couldn't know unless you tried and so he continued to try. At least Blitzen seemed to understand him. Or so it seemed. Of course he could easily be wrong about that little tidbit as well. It could just be the tone rather than the words that was recognized and listened to.
"Was yous language?" He questioned the other. He wasn't sure exactly was being talked about. Others told him to just speak English. But this male didn't. Was there some other language that he was meant to speak then? He didn't know anything past German and English. Though his English wasn't that well defined as could already be witnessed. He knew enough to understand and speak it but he just didn't do a fine job of it.
"Mutter say so." Not that he understand what she had meant by it and so he grinned as that quality had been picked up on. But that grin quickly disappeared as he was bitten. The other had seized hold on his ear and had dragged him out. "Oww! Hurt!" He cried out but didn't put up a fight. He knew better than to do that. If he got caught by his mother in one of her moods then struggling only made it worse. He knew to just wait it out and it wouldn't be as bad as if he tried to fight her off. He simply figured that it would apply in this situation as well. That this other male would grow tired if there wasn't a struggle and go off to do something else more quickly. He often applied the tactics that he learned to cope with his mother to cope with others. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Theodore Stone - 01-03-2011 [html]
- Izaak - 01-03-2011 [html] OOC here: It's okay, I was thinking the dead body could be dropped off outside of Anathema so Sas can come and get his tail back since Zak is wearing it.; 308 words
Once he was dropped all he could do was curl up on the ground and cry. His hand reached up to touch his tattered ear. "Oww, oww, oww." Touching it had hurt a great deal and so he dropped his hand away. Tears slipped from his eyes as he folded his knees up to his chest. It was the same that he would do when he had been caught by his mother. Granted he wasn't usually the one to receive her aggressive attention so he didn't really know how to deal. He wasn't used to coping with someone upset with him enough to want to harm him. Rather everyone had shown him pity.
He quickly shook his head but the flapping of the ear only made it hurt more and had him crying harder. "No! Hurts!" From what he had spoken so far it seemed he had a limited grasp on English. Though that could be said to be true. There were expressions that he didn't understand because he took things literally. And well, grammar as well as a few pronunciations were lost upon him.
"Inferni has." He whimpered out the words. He was trying to explain himself but failing. He had only experienced this once before with another in Inferni. The more he tried to explain what he was doing the more trouble he ended up getting into. This felt like that all over again. That what he was trying to say wasn't being understood and the pain made it hard for him to think of the right words to use. All he could concentrate on was the throbbing pain. Did his brother feel this when Sascha gave him his tail? If so then he would really have to thank Sascha for the gift that he already cherished so much. But this made him cherish it more. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Theodore Stone - 01-03-2011 [html]
- Izaak - 01-03-2011 [html] OOC here: I know, everyone pities him cause he is stupid; 302 words
He cried harder as his ear was tugged on again and eventually ripped off. His fingers reached up to the bloody mess of a spot where his ear used to be. It was gone. Where had it gone? He glanced around with tear filled eyes for the missing body part. He didn't dare move though and so when he didn't see it in the immediate radius he gave up looking for it. He didn't want to move too much or risk attracting further punishment than he had already received.
And his explanation had ended up going all wrong again. "No. Dis Inferni. Inferni cave." He didn't know there to be caves in any other place so he had to have made it back to Inferni somehow. The wind through it even made the noise like it did in Inferni so he had to be back home. It was the only way that it made sense to him. Maybe this was the guy hiding in the cave that he had thought that he had before.
But no sooner had the words left his mouth did he found himself unable to speak. Jaws had settled over his own and forced his mouth to remain shut. He gave a slight struggle as he panicked but that quickly subsided as he found it to be a painful decision. He couldn't open his mouth so he couldn't pant for breath. All he was getting through his nose was the other's breath but that wasn't enough at all. Not as his mind panicked and told him he had to breath except he couldn't come up with a solution to do so. After another short struggle where he tried to open his mouth he went limp and still again, eyes having closed themselves as teas continued to leak out. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Naniko D'Angelo - 01-04-2011 [html] <style> .naniko .ooc {font-style:italic; } .naniko p {padding:2px 0px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .naniko b {color:#FFFFFF; letter-spacing:-.2px; text-shadow:#000000 2px 2px 2px; } .naniko {background-color:#1e252b; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... naniko.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:2px solid #FFFFFF; font-family:georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:12px; color:#141b21; width:375px; text-align:justify; } .naniko-border {width:379px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto;} .naniko .inner {margin:10px 10px 190px 10px; padding:10px; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/K ... nikobg.png); border:1px solid #000000; border-radius:20px;-moz-border-radius:20px; -webkit-border-radius:20px;} </style> Is Scorpius still coming?

- Izaak - 01-06-2011 [html] OOC here: I have no idea. Scorpius was sposed to bring Juju with him. And that works for me. Oh, since this is is last post mark him dead?; 324 words
The sound of another voice had him opening his eyes. He couldn't turn his head to look and see who it was or what was going on. But it didn't seem to matter much at all. It seemed that his fate was sealed. They wouldn't listen to what he had to say. Not that he had the ability to say anything at the moment either. And of course he realized this once he tried to speak up again and found that he couldn't open his mouth to say anything.
Instead he made due like his brother did. He used a claw to spell out Inferni on the ground then pointed at the caves. He was trying to get across that he thought he was in Inferni. Though that was misinterpreted when he had spoken it so what would writing it out do for him? Still, he had to try it at least. Maybe this female would understand where the male hadn't.
He still didn't quite get that he had done something wrong. That he wasn't actually in Inferni like he thought. He didn't seem to realize that there were caved in more than one location. Of course this had quickly proven to be a fatal mistake for him. Or at least there had been talk of fatality. And since he found himself unable to answer properly it seemed that was just how it was going to end. He had no idea what he could do or say to prevent anything from happening. And he just seemed to be realizing what was going on. There was no way he was making it away. Nowhere he could run. These other canines had come into Inferni. He was probably in trouble for telling the leader of Inferni that he had heard noises in the caves before. He was right. There had been others hiding in the cave and it wasn't just wind as he had been told. .izaakb b {font-weight:normal; color:#a53d18; letter-spacing:.5px; } .izaakbooc {text-align:left;font-style:italic; padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:10px;color:#a53d18;} .izaakb p {text-indent:25px; padding:1px 10px 1px 10px; margin:0px;} .izaakb {margin:0 auto; width:400px; background-color:#000000; background-image:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/ ... k/a92f.jpg); background-position:top center; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:3px double #a53d18; padding: 400px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif; font-size:11px; color:#c30a0f; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;word-spacing:.5px;} </style> [/html] - Scorpius D'Angelo - 01-07-2011 [html] I'm so sorry for holding this up! I got a little disorganized and we planned this just before my little medical issue, so it all kind of slipped my mind (I wish I had a better excuse). I will just cover it all in this post! <3 A thousand pardons. Great thread! wc 1226 Near the outer walls of Anathema's cavernous dens was a little place newly discovered by puppy eyes, and therefor had been recently conquered by Scorpius. It was a mini-den of sorts that had been discovered by Juju during a game of hide-and-seek just a few days prior, and once Scorpius had given up and told his cousin to come out, he reveled in the discovery and claimed the den for himself. There was no thoroughfare from the tiny cave into the winding veins of the pack dens, and it was just a few feet deep which made it all the more unique and cooler. It was also up a small, rocky pathway that was only wide enough for pups to scale, and surely soon enough the pair would be too large to climb up to it. But for now, it was their favorite haven. While his mother tried to nap Scorpius slipped off and awoke Juju with a good old fashioned ear chomp and demanded that his cousin come play. And by play, he clearly meant that Juju was to stand in the snow while Scorpius guarded their small den and demanded that he guess some password (which poor Juju had no chance of guessing, for if he did Scorpius would just change it, and his cousin would be none the wiser). The coal pup perched proudly upon the little ledge, his chest puffed out and a grin on his face. If Juju stopped trying to guess the magic word, he threatened to come down there and make him guess. And the magic word never came, but their game did end. The two pups both jerked to attention when the foreign sound of someone singing in some strange tongue reverberated off of the rock. Scorpius's eyes darted out over the powder and spotted the form of the coyote man as he played alongside something that was more fit to eat than play with. He was coming this way. The unexpected threat put a stop to their game as well as Scorpius's temporary frugality. “Juju, get up here, quick!” He demanded, and the russet pup was up the rocky path in a flash. Scorpius inched aside so his cousin could take shelter, and then backpedaled into the den himself. He peered over the ledge, nervous as the coyote approached. He and Juju were caught outside of the protective confines of the dens, and he felt anxious and prone in this spot. The pup glanced over his shoulder as though a magical hallway would appear, leading back into the tunnels, but all he saw was Juju. He turned back in time to watch the man meander on into one of the dens. “Who is it?” Juju whispered, and Scorpus shushed him harshly. “Don't give us away,” he cautioned his cousin. The boy crouched in the den and through the thin layer of rock could hear unintelligible voices. The man had met someone, and a moment later the white stag tore from the cave and disappeared over the terrain. Scorpius felt a stronge urge to pursue the creature but had no illusions about his ability to take it down, and remained in his safe perch. It did not take long, though, for the cub's curiosity to peak. Someone had discovered the intruder, and it was someone from Anathema. And by the sounds of the growling it was someone who was prepared to handle the situation. The charcoal pup scooted closer to the edge of the ledge and peered over, now looking on with increasing interest in place of the fright he felt a moment before. He did not even mind when Juju sidled up next to him and poked his russet nose over to see what was going on, too. For a moment the pups looked down at the shadowed mouth of the cave and the snow. There were several sets of tracks there that belonged to the pups, the coyote, and the deer. Scorpius was surprised that the prints had not clued the man into their presence as he passed. Black ears swiveled and cupped, working like little satellites to pick up the muddled voices from inside. He could not understand the man at all, but the other voice was familiar. His red eyes bulged when a hulking, dark figure emerged from the depths of Anathema, and with him the man known as Theodore dragged the infiltrator. The boys watched as Theodore's large paws trampled over their tracks, and the man's body dug a deep rivulet in the snow, further concealing the pups' paw prints. The cousins stared on in morbid fascination as Theodore ripped at the man's ear and his crimson lifeblood began to trail through his fur. Scorpius swallowed hard, and shushed Juju again as the red pup was about to say something more. “Don't ask me any questions, I don't know either. Just shut up. They'll hear us!” He scolded harshly, as low as possible. Luckily, his words were drowned out by the coyote's cries, and only Juju could make them out. As the ordeal continued, both Scopius and Juju took on similar expressions. Their ears laid back and their eyes went wide, their little jaws hanging slack in surprised O's. This was certainly a sight! 'So Inferni sent you to spy on us did they?' Theodore's words rolled over the stone and to the boy's ears. The pups looked at each other for a moment, sharing a shocked glance, and then turned back to the scene. “Come on, lets get a closer look,” Scorpius murmured to his cousin, and then slipped past him and made a speedy descent. He landed in the snow just in time to see his mother's ivory form streak out of the den. He hugged the rocks, keeping low and out of sight, afraid of getting in trouble, but she had her sights set on the immediate threat to her pack and jogged right past his hiding place. Juju was soon next to him, though he pushed himself protectively into his cousin's path. So, this was a spy? A spy from Inferni. Scorpius knew enough to understand that Inferni was another pack, but nothing more. The boy stood erect, enticed and enthralled by the scene that played out before him. Now, with both Theodore and Naniko here, he no longer felt afraid or unsafe. He drank down the action like a man at a desert oasis. This was new, this was thrilling, and this was primal. He finally could suppress his fascination no longer and began to inch away from his hiding spot and out into the open, trying to gain a closer perspective on the scene. The man was lying limp now, his ear gone and blood matting his fur and melting the snow beneath him, and Naniko exchanged quick words with Theodore... He started as Juju bumped into his rump. He had nearly forgotten about his cousin, and jerked his head around to shoot him an angry glare. “Watch it! He yelped at the rusty puppy, and all at once he had blown their cover. His gaze flicked back to the scene and to the three forms before him. The man looked like he was asleep now. Scorpius could not (yet) tell the difference between the sleeping, the unconscious, and the dead. .Nani_and_pup b {font-weight:bold; color:#d4ded7; text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px #0b2a22; letter-spacing:1px; } .Nani_and_pup .ooc { font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:11px;} .Nani_and_pup p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .Nani_and_pup {margin:0px auto; width:480px; background-color:#493e30; border:2px solid #ffffa8; border-top-style: hidden; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:20px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:20px; -webkit-border-bottom-left-radius:20px; -webkit-border-bottom-right-radius:20px; 0px 0px 0px 0px; font-family: tahoma, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#3caeb3; line-height:16px; letter-spacing:.3px; text-align:justify;} </style> [/html] - Theodore Stone - 01-08-2011 [html]
