Let the Past Fall Away

Any Inferni members. She's trying to make peace with the pack.

OOC Feb 17

Terra had been traveling north, thinking about stopping by to see her friend Eclipse, and exploring the eastern part of the land, a place she'd only stepped into once. The barren lands seemed to call to her, full of challenging ideas. Nearing Inferni had distracted her from that. Normally she'd head over and cause some trouble, trespassing or breaking the skulls, entertained by the stupid hybrids' efforts to get rid of her. Since seeing Helotes though she didn't feel that it was right. He'd given something she'd needed, and mocking his pack seemed wrong in that light. Terra didn't want to leave Inferni alone, but she definitely couldn't harm it.

For quite some time she sat there, staring at the skulls. They no longer frightened her, too much time spent mocking them to take it seriously anymore. At last an idea trickled through, and she trotted off. A bit of hunting around brought the fresh kill of a lynx to her attention. Teasing the cat Terra managed to lure it away from the deer, and with the carcass secured she headed back to Inferni, pausing to add a rabbit that she managed to catch herself to the pile. It wasn't nearly as good, thin and weak as most creatures Terra managed to catch were, but it was something. Reaching the border Terra dropped her kills and howled, asking for an audience.

As discussed, Ezekiel will attack her in his next post and chase her off.

The patrol route was one often taken on horseback, but Ezekiel favored his four legs as often as he did two. With the easy lope of the coyote his distance was great but without much issue. His steps carried him across various trails, flattened by thousands of other steps taken before. Fresh powder was quickly pressed down by various paws and hooves, and he was pleased by this. His good mood, however, did not last long—as he neared a rise he caught a scent that made his fur bristle.

It was an instinctive reaction, one given for any perceived danger. This was not to say he considered the girl dangerous, but she was most certainly the worst sort of annoyance. Helotes’ punishment had laid the law down for the rest of the clan, and now he would truly need to seek out her leaders. They had done nothing, and now again, here she was.

Stiff legged, black fur along his back all on end, Ezekiel approached her. A single sharp command was given. “Leave,” he growled, tail high. There was no time to humor some brat that couldn’t learn to show proper respect.

The familiar scent of the coyote that had chased her away after smashing the skulls reached her. At least it wasn't the super temperamental one. This one could be reasonable. Well, she thought he was reasonable. Calmly she waited at the borders. He was in lupus form, just like her. This sent her tail wagging, despite the raised hackles. Terra just didn't see any danger from the pack she had mocked again and again. His fierce words did have her cocking her head. Now, that was rather rude. Terra had come with a peace offering and everything. Maybe he thought she was here to mess with the skulls again.

You don't need to worry. I'm not here for trouble. I thought I'd apologize for my past actions, and bring you some kills to show my sincerity. It was very hard to take her seriously, with how she held herself. Her pose was submissive, but her eyes always held a laugh at them, as if she could never take anyone seriously. Inferni was one of those places she really didn't address in such a way. Terra considered the lot of them fools, placing so much emphasis on their heritage when they had thrown it aside. Their new neighbor was much worse for Terra, but at least they had the excuse of actually acting like wolves, if extremely violent ones.

He snaps at her shoulder, if that's unclear. Figured it was the easiest place for the wounds we discussed.

She was an ignorant brat, as far as he was concerned. Even with her friendly stance there was no true submission—another joke, of course. Oh if only he had come with his arrows, he would have ended this from afar. Amber eyes gleamed sharply, hawkish around a red-splashed face. Instinctively, she should have known his aggression for what it was. The fact she did not marked her for what she was; a wolf pretending to be a coyote, a stupid thing more worried about her own enjoyment than that the rules and restrictions of what it was to function in a society based upon such laws.

“You have no respect for Inferni and we have no need for people like you,” he growled. After that there was no warning; he had little need to play games with her or listen to any false promises. Without a sound he rushed forward, moving low and fast to strike her shoulder. Two sharp slashes were delivered before he leapt back, as was the coyote way, and prepared for another attack. If she fled he would ensure her gone…and then go speak to those foolish leaders to ensure such a thing never happened again.

Oh he was mad, Terra could tell that. Despite her best attempts at behaving he had seen through it. The hybrid before her might not realize why Terra was suddenly interested in making nice, but he knew it was false. Terra fought to keep a grin from rising to her face, enjoying the rise she was getting out of him. That wasn't her purpose. She wasn't going to tease Inferni anymore. Her lithe body tensed at his words, prepared to move as he spoke. She didn't quite get what he meant by people like her, but that was just fine. The message was clear.

Terra twisted away, but the older male was faster. He had more experience, his fangs slashing into her shoulder. She suppressed a growl, unwilling to do anything to jeopardize this rather messy attempt at making peace. Terra wouldn't give up on this. She would return again with more gifts, and keep going until her apology was accepted. She was fearless, and her eyes showed that. Her lips curled up into a grin as she turned away. I'll come again with more kills. I do want this enmity between us to be forgotten. Not in too big a hurry she trotted away, ready to break into a run if he chased.
