Don't forget yourselves we made up our minds
We signed 3, 4, 5 on that dotted line

They were all on the way back to Anathema, in a rather bad mood, all of them, because their mission had failed ultimately. They were supposed to capture the traitors, and brand them as such, and punish them. The two whom held the mark of Anathema on their hands did not deserve that blessing of a mark. Panda had a sour taste in her mouth and a foul lurking in the pit of her stomach. She was annoyed, and tired, and hungry, and she just wanted to lay in her bed and sleep for the next few days. That's all she wanted, and the group of luperci knew that the pregnant Panda behr was not a happy one because she held a frown and she was moaning and groaning every two seconds about how she wanted to be home. Nobody was happy if she wasn't happy was her theory, and she let everyone in the group know that she was not happy and she would keep on complaining until she got what she wanted. Venom had been annoyed at the woman and her bickering, but it was only because he too was getting cranky at their failed mission.


The horses were even tired. They moved slowly towards anathema land, and once that smell hit the nose of Panda, she grew excited to where her tail was wagging lightly. Home, how I have missed you! spoke the pregnant woman. She smiled and she nudged Vitani to move faster, but something then made her twitch her ears back. It was the sound of the crows, alerting that there was another following them. She pulled the reigns on her steed to make her come to a halt, and Panda looked behind them. Venom grunted and quickly dismounted his steed. Alaki had looked back too, the birds telling him that it was that one they had met back in Crimson Dreams. Show yourself! called the Rakeeb, towards the Crimson Dreamer. None of the Anathemans were in the mood to deal with a spy, much less so close to home that they could practically say that they were on Anathema land.

It's fine! We were planning on him being discovered anyways 8D Also, I used a decoy so that Turnstone would fling himself at the group. He thinks he's being clever, but he's really not. OFF WITH HIS HEAD! Big Grin Maybe after two more posts you can kill him? :3
[html]
[/html] He had managed to make it this far without detection, so why had he failed now? He had been silent and stealthy the entire time, blending in with the surrounding trees as he trailed the group. Even though he knew he was vastly outnumbered, he wanted to ensure that they did not come back to Crimson Dreams ever again. They had been horrid, wretched luperci that had been nothing but rude from the beginning. After the war, Turnstone had a difficult time believing in their words and he thought they were actually there at Crimson Dreams to assess the damage and take them out. Turnstone refused to let this happen.

Everything was going well until they stopped. It was all very sudden and Turnstone didn't know what had given him away. But he knew that something had done it. He quickly dashed behind a bush as they advanced, but he quickly realized they were going the wrong way. Was something else out there?

Then, he realized that he hadn't been the only one following the group. There was another creature -- a cat? A wolf? He couldn't tell -- off in the distance. He eyed the creature and then shook his head. Then he smelled it: it was another wolf. A loner. What was it doing? Nothing, apparently, because then it dashed away. Turnstone, figuring this would serve as a good distraction, rounded around the group and made a quick dash for one of the horses. A brown male with a lot of scars was sitting on it. Turnstone raced for the horse, his weapon in hand, and dove to strike at its legs and bring the rider down. All the while, the crows screeched overhead. [html]

Word Count → 414 :: If we can get this done before the second then yeah two more posts is fine. I also was told that Venom was not allowed his axes, so this is going to be slightly hard since turnstone is armed and Venom is not.

I hope you choke on the promises you broke
Saying that you'd always be my friend.

There was a loner that the birds had not warned them about, and he ran off. Venom snarled and looked in the direction of the loner before Serenade, Panda's crow, had cawed a warning out to Venom again, telling him that there was a second being coming and charging at him. It went for his horse, that wasn't even his horse, and the horse actually spooked as the being came near and struck out at it's legs. The stallion bucked and reared, which had thrown Venom off, but his quick reflexes caused him to not be thrown on his back, rather his feet instead, though he did stumble back on his legs, almost falling over. Venom's aura changed rapidly, from protective to angry and his face held a horrible snarl. Panda looked back at him, and she whined lightly. She didn't want to see him hurt, but she knew that he needed to fight. If he had his weapons, then he would be able to fight easier, but he was down to his bare teeth and claw. Venom's large ears fall back on his head and he barked at the other Anathemans to keep out of this fight, especially the Rakeeb and the children. Panda knew she was not allowed to interfere because this dreamer had put their children at stake with his attack.


Venom held his tail high, even though he was not a rank to do so, he let the beast know that he was on their lands, and he would be punished for making the stallion buck him and run away. You'll be sorry for the sins you just committed, bastard. growled the chocolate and coal male, his hackles raising on his bare back. He watched the other male, and he held a grin on his maw, this would be his first real fight in some time now, and the adrenaline was already pumping through his veins, and he was getting excited. Dite le vostre preghiere, perché questo sarà il vostro ultimo giorno su questa terra. the male spoke in a different dialect, not expecting the other male to understand, but he knew that Panda understood parts of what he had said. Mainly the prayers, and last day, and earth. She knew that he was going to kill this other being.


Without another word, Venom charged at the other, fangs bared and hands searching to disarm the weapon from the other male's hands.

Oh, okay, just disarm him and kill him then 8O
[html]
[/html] Turnstone spooked the horse instead of injuring it, throwing his target off. Turnstone didn't want to hurt the horse if he didn't have to; after all, he wasn't planning on eating them so it would have just been a waste.

Turnstone moved and ducked around the horse's flailing hooves, minding his way and trying to give the hulking creature its berth. He did not fancy a hoof in the face especially when his fight was not with the horse, but its rider. The wolf righted himself soon enough and seemed to find his footing. He began to speak, and at that moment -- not caring for a rambling tirade in another language -- Turnstone rushed at the wolf, weapon in hand.

When the wolf finished his words, he threw himself at Turnstone. As the wolf approached Turnstone, Turnstone took his club and tried to smash it into the other wolf's side and break his ribs. With this particular club, if he made contact, he could also use the pointed end to drive it in to the wolf's flesh and damage him even further. [html]

I hate to tell you but you're full of shit.
Earthly things mean nothing to eternal kings.

The other male did not waste any time either, one was a Goliath, the other a David. This time, David would not be helped by 'God'. The 'David' came at Venom with his arms raised, a club aiming at the ribs of the larger wolf, the Goliath, and it caused a smile to come upon the Goliath's maw. Stupid. spoke Venom, and he grabbed the club right out of the other's hand with a forceful tug. Venom put the club under his arm, and pulled the other male closer to him, and he lifted up his leg and then forced the other male's arm down and a loud CRACK was heard, and the other male had dropped the club and immediately tried to pull his arm back, because now it was broken, and on fire. The male was yelping at the top of his lungs and Venom went on to push the male away and then kick the male in his genitals. The other had bent over and fallen to the ground, his breath taken from him.


Venom chuckled lightly and left the being on the ground, and then he moved and picked up the other male's club and then walked back over to the yelping Crimson Dreamer. The large male looked at the club and then swung the club with all of his might at the male's head. Needless to say, the other was knocked on the ground, and another crack of the male's skull cracking was heard. It was a satisfying sound to the Italian. He looked at his newly acquired weapon and chuckled lightly. Doesn't' look like you'll be needing this anymore. he told the gasping beast, the thing just barely even alive. Venom let him sit there in pain for some time though, watching it try to move, but fail. Panda watched from her steed, never seeing how merciless that Venom was when he was in a bad mood and wanted to be home and in bed, and having to kill another instead. It was interesting, the way his aura moved around him.


Brutal, Venom. End his miserable life and bring him back to the den. We need to burn his body. spoke Panda, the woman seeming to be as cold and ruthless as the male was at that moment. Panda could be a sadist, often times she could not help but think about killing things, but she had trained herself to rid herself of such thoughts as quickly as they occur, so a lot of the times, it did not reflect in her personality. Right now, as a tired, pregnant woman, she was letting her true colors show. Even though his skull is cracked, it might use as a good mount on the wall. If not then his pelt as a good blanket. commented the woman, admiring the gray and brown pelt of the almost dead male. If I end his life now then we won't be able to get a skull. Better to just let him die on his own, bring him back with us anyways. Venom told Panda, whom then agreed. She just would rather see him dead than in pain and so close to death. Either way, with a cracked skull he was not going to last too much longer. In fact, those were the last words he would hear and the last thing he would see was the ass of a stallion.

WC:292. Total fail pooe-y post just to move things along >.<

As the crows sounded the alert one by one he scanned the land for whatever and whomever it was they were seeing. The loner drew his attention for a moment that he'd almost missed the Crimson Dreams canine take a shot for Venom. Twisting around, his hand instantly reached down to draw his Katana and deal with the foolish attacker, but he paused as the brown male barked orders to him and the others. Frowning, he growled under his breath and directed Hibiki around the others so that he placed himself in front of everyone else, Katana now drawn in case the fight came over to where he, the kids and panda were. Not that he was entirely sure that he could fight all too well from horseback but if need be he'd give it a shot.


Before him he watched as Venom dealt quickly and efficiently with the Crimson Dreamer and as it was confirmed that the male was indeed dead he pulled Hibiki back and looked over his shoulder to check on the kids, worried about how they may be reacting to watching someone killed. Not seeing any extreme signs of distress he turned his attention back to Venom and panda, silently listening to the pairs conversation without commenting on what was said. “Do as ya wish with his body. Let's head back so I can get the kids away from all this and settled in for the night” he spoke plainly, pressing his heels into the mares side and heading off in the direction of Anathema without waiting to hear the others responses. Overall the entire trip was pointless and hadn't achieved much and the lack of result and revenge had left the Rakeeb in a sour, unsociable mood.

A wraith with an angel's body
a demon with the smile of gold.

Alaki seemed unimpressed at the actions of the Zepar Goliath, but this did not mean anything to Panda, nor to Venom. The two could care less about the Rakeeb's approval, the only thing they did care about at this point was going and sleeping in a comfortable bed. Even then, they had to do what they needed to with the Crimson Dreamer's body before they were able to rest. If they waited too long to skin him, his body would become stiff and immovable, so they had to do these things before they even thought about sleeping in bed. Venom knew and accepted that he would be the only one working on this project because of Panda's condition. He did not mind it, either way. It simply gave him something to do. He would have rather waited til after he rested, but it was whatever to him at the moment. He'd be able to deal with the beast now.


Alaki moved on after checking on the children. Venom did not care whether they had witnessed the death or not, it was to protect them. They would learn about death sooner or later, and of the traditions of the two Wiccans. The cult did not matter to the two wiccans, for they knew that their way was the right way, rather than the way of the cult. Panda looked at the Rakeeb as he spoke, but found that his reaffirmation meant nothing to her. Sure, she respected him, if only lightly, but she was going to do whatever she wanted with Venom's kill, no matter what he said to her. Her brown eyes had been placed harshly on the Rakeeb but this was just because she was in a bad mood. The pregnant woman had a reason to be, she had left her home for so long and all for nothing really. Neither of the wiccans had spoken to the male, instead, Venom mounted his steed again and moved alongside Panda as they followed behind the group, the children on the ground in front of them, but behind the Rakeeb.


Once they were all in Anathema, Panda and Venom separated from the Rakeeb and the children and went on their way to get their ritual gear, and to inform Zera'im of the actions that had been committed and to tell her that they were going to make it a sacrifice to the god and goddess after they removed the head and the fur. Panda had sent Serenade in front of her, to tell Zera'im that they would be coming very soon. They put their horses in the stables and then walked to their cave, Venom with the body of the other on his shoulders as he walked along, and Panda holding the club. After that, they did what they needed to do with the body while in the cave and when they went to burn it, they left the caves and burned it outside, and then did a ritual to offer this bounty, this life to the god and goddess.
