Anger. Confusion. Apprehension.

indentIt was a storm of emotions that consumed the vehementi after the sudden murder, of their leader, Diablo. Rage ran rampant, coursing through the bloodstream of those loyal to the tyrant of a emperor. Some felt only loyal to the kennel, not the one who sat upon the throne. Others searched for answers, calling out into the mountain wind or the star speckled night, pleading to know what happened. The rogues that followed Erebus seemed more the happy to see Diablo dead, knowing well that they held authority over the kennel, knowing they were of higher ranking.

indent“How?” Daedalus questioned, staring out past the castle gardens to the mountains that surrounded the territory. He, much like the others, felt strange without the familiar doberman around. Although Diablo had been cruel, Daedalus was a dog that was loyal. And he was loyal as a shaman and as a friend to his former leader. Yes, though the doberman never would have considered him more than a medic, he would often seek him out when it came to ancestral communication and would occasionally speak to him about private matters that even his second-in-command, Aries, did not know of.

indent“I wish I knew, Dae.” Nike replied, her voice monotonous. Her chin rested between her paws as she sprawled out on the smooth tile stairs leading to the castle entrance. “I wish I knew.”

indentA voice suddenly broke the pairs conversation, one that was deep and gravelly in tone. “I’ll tell you what happened.” Daedalus and Nike jerked their heads to look at the massive harlequin dane infront of them, Diomedes. “Your leader was weak. He believed he was powerful because he hadn’t ever been challenged for his authority. He believed he was strong because others feared him.” The Great Dane narrowed his eyes at the two, his eyes glinting menacingly. “But fear is only a fraction of what true power is. Because inside, no matter how many dogs you kill, if you’re scared... You will always lose. And that’s what happened, he lost. He was no match for Erebus.”

indentDaedalus flattened his ears to his head as the male spoke while Nike stared at him head on. Her brindle fur prickled with rising anger.

indent“Let’s go, Dae. We don’t need to be around dogs who talk about true leader’s like they’re mice and horrid ones like they’re lions.”

indentDiomedes looked furious. Erebus (the new leader of the kennel) was his Imperator, and more than that, a saviour in many ways. Erebus had taken him into his group after his old kennel fell apart, and he had made an oath the swear loyalty till the day he transcended to the heavens. “I’ve been doubting your ability’s as a healer, Daedalus. How about another patient to treat?” He snarled before lunging at Nike, sinking his fangs into her shoulder before jumping back as she tried to snap back at him. “Let that be a little warning. You old leader is dead and gone. Nothing will revive him and thank the gods for that. Move on and respect your new leader.

indentNike and Daedalus watched as the great dane strode away, joining a group of fellow follows of Erebus. The death of Diablo was more than just another casualty, another dog in the graveyard. It was a spark of something that would make or break this new kingdom that Erebus was building.
