The forthcoming
~ Valakin and Vitaloney ~
A silence swept through Ahzen, It was a hush that came so quickly and happened so fast, that those who remember it would look back and note the likeness it held like that of nature before the wrath of a devastating storm. But what could be the cause of such a sudden hush? What force would drive all of Ahzen's Inhabitants and visitors to such a degree that all would fall silent? The answer was simple The Vortex.
It had not been long since the last Ahzenia it had birthed left, a promising future ahead of his or her life full of adventure and companionship, with the human he or she had chosen. But the vortex seemed pained, heavy with a burden that many could not comprehend its light swirled to momentous proportions, a dark bloody color leaching through its blinding white light. It made a movement much like a convulsion as the leeching bloody color took over, then turned seamlessly into a deep crimson. It shrunk in size by only a few measly centimeters, a loud roaring erupted from within and blinding white light bled into the crimson, mixing in perfectly until the vortex convulsed with even tendrils of swirling white and crimson light.
A thumping base-like sound filled Ahzen, then with a shriek the Vortex's light brightened then dissipated, leaving in its place not one but two Ahzenai. Valcyon paused for only a second, his head cocked slightly to the side a look of worry on his face, slowly he shook his head as if dismissing the feeling, and in a calm Voice spoke,
" Vitaloney and Valakin."
The twin Ahzenai turned their heads in unison, cruel white eyes inspecting the elder Ahzenai, with mild distaste and slight disinterest. Valcyon shivered slightly locked in the cold stares of the twins. The snow white male, clearly the larger of the two, huffed, shifting his gaze slowly around Ahzen, his eyes fell on a large group of humans and Ahzenai alike. His face contorted into a look of utter disgust at the scene. A low guttural growl bloomed from his chest, his muscled form shook in the sheer force of the vibration.
His tremors attracted the attention of his sister, who had been busy inspecting her claws for any flaws. With a slight smile she rose to her paws, gold spotted crimson pelt flashing in the dim light the vortex still gave off. In a light tone she addressed the inhabitants of Ahzen
" Hello My friends, she glanced slightly at her brother before adding, " and humans"
I Am Vitaloney, and this is my brother Valakin.
a sharp growl sounded from beside her, The male Valakin stepped forward, cutting his sister off.
" Vitaloney, you dare address that scum?"
"I did not mean any harm"
The male snorted
"humans are lairs, cheats, they use Ahzenai for fighting, and exploit our kinsmen for their own purposes."
The female ran a black paw uncertainly through the dust on the rock floor, the male continued
" you know this to be true, the vortex itself showed us their evils."
The female just nodded, her brother had crushed her dreams of a life of lavished luxury in one fell swoop.
The male taking his sisters expression as one of remorse for her actions turned to face the crowd, he snarled as he noted some of the humans had dared move closer to them
" You dare approach us? I will not have it!"
In a swift movement he lashed out at the closest human, a feral grin spreading across his face at their outcry of pain as sharp claw met fragile skin and human bone. Then he turned, and as if nothing had happened he trotted away, towards the shelter of the sheer power that stemmed from the nearby pounding waterfall. He paused only for a second to motion to his sister with his tail to follow, and together they disappeared under the veil of water.
