Warriors of Isket {W.O.I}-[Open]

[Winterfaux]

//Thank you =D//
Swift could barely keep herself still, with the shaking and her overwhelming want to run, but she steadied her paws and watched the two male wolves. She managed a little internal smile, ecstatic that she was able to find help so quickly. However her joy would surely be short lived witht he punishment that would probably follow this possibly fatal adventure.
Without a word, the she-wolf turned and started back towards the direction that the other pups were. The push from Dax got her moving but it took a second for her to regain her full speed sprint- her paws seemed to have springs as she sprinted. Despite her young age she was nearly able to keep up with the older wolves when she ran at full speed, her long legs and thing body as well as her long tail made her very aerodymanic so running and speed came naturally to the pup.
She flew across the grass, her dark fur blending in with the foilage, especially in the darkness. It was easy to tell when they were nearing the battle from the young snarls and the large figure of the beast that attacked them. Swift snarled nervously, fighting was not her strong point but with the two large wolves gave her confidence and her sprinting turned to bounds, she leapt rather than ran towards the small battle.
A few feet away she again had to skid to a halt, skipping on her paws to slow herself down rather than repeating her clumsy entry when she found Dax and Texron.
"Isolde! I found help!" Swift barked in their direction, two of the pups seemed to be going after the beast while the third, whom she assumed to be Teslim, seemed to be frozen, staring down the Kronador.
"Teslim.." She growled to herself, feeling ratehr powerless, "Move Teslim, move!"

Glyndwr nodded uncertainly at Isolde's response. "Alright, that's your decision then. I guess I better tag along as well, strength in numbers, right?" His voice wasn't exactly steady, he dreaded what might happen in they got caught. Although, Glyndwr was mostly talking to himself than anyone else. He respected the adult warriors and the rules they set in place, but he was ready to take whatever punishment they would probably be receiving. He kept himself calm, there was not reason the get all panicked at the moment. He skidded to a halt behind the others near the bush, and he didn't like the feeling that came from it at all. There was something eerie about the bush, something quite unsettling.

Then he saw it, the Kronador. For a moment he froze, not entirely sure what to make of the situation. Having never seen a Kronador, he wasn't exactly sure of what it was, but the descriptions of those horrid beasts that the adult warriors told him seemed to match the creature that stood before him. A deep growl came from his throat at the sight of the awful, teal creature, with an added comment. "Well, we're in for it now." It seemed like one of the younger ones though, but it was still nearly twice as big as a pup. Once the Kronador pounced for Teslim, Glyndwr ran towards it and took a good strike at one of the creature's legs in an attempt to chase it away from Teslim. He was glad that the others had already started to attempt in driving it away as well. He struck again, but this time the Kronador's leg retaliated. Glyndwr thrust himself backward, it's sharp claw grazing his shoulder. He didn't wince in pain though, he just brushed it off and ignored the slight stinging in his shoulder.

Oh right, I forgot about the deadly claws the older warriors told us about. But where else can I strike? He thought, obviously going for it's legs was too dangerous. Then he noticed the Kronador get knocked back a bit by Kaim, and then it struck him. Going for the sides and underbelly were his best bet, since there was no way he could jump high enough to attack it's face. "Kaim, there is no way all of us can outrun that thing. It's already agitated, it'd just chase us down." He explained, he knew he surely wasn't very fast and didn't stand a chance if they ran. With a deep breath, to calm himself down, Glyndwr dashed towards the teal creature once more and ducked under it's stomach before it could react. He jumped up and dug his small claws into it's soft underbelly, drawing a small amount of putrid blood. The Kronador knocked him to the side again, but Glyndwr stood back up, ready to strike again if needed. He hoped it would just flee, but it was mostly obvious that wasn't going to happen.

Isolde saw out of the corner of his eye the other pups, who had bravely rushed to his side to attack the kronador youngling. In the mere moment he was distracted, Isolde felt a blow in the side of his flank and saw with horror his blood, illuminated silver by the moonlight, sliding down into the deep teal grass. The pup stumbled, gasping for breath. He was barely aware of his surroundings, but quickly snapped when he heard the pained cry of his brother. "..Teslim," he whispered in a harsh and strained voice.
In that moment, the world stood still.
Isolde was barely aware of his own actions as he moved forward, feeling like his paws were made of lead, towards his brother who had collapsed unto the earth. He slowly leaped towards the kronador, but was merely brushed aside by the foul beast. The world unfroze once again as the pup struggled on the ground, suddenly conscious of his own wounds and lack of breath. "Teslim, wait .. I'm .. coming ..."
His teared eyes slammed shut as a wave of darkness consumed him.

((I appologize if this is wrong. I kept up the best I can, but I may have messed up somewhere in there... D| Sorry this has taken so long...))

The air around her was damp and musty, smelling of sweat and blood. Synn's bright magenta eyes looked up wide with surprise as the gigantic hybrid known as Aletta stood over her with teeth bared, but a sly conquering smile playing at her lips. Her fierce emerald portrayed no emotion, and Synn was left guessing what was going through her adopted mentor's mind. Aletta was not a Warrior of Isket, nor her true mentor. She had met the hybrid when she was younger, and Aletta had seen her promise and took her in as her apprentice. Synn knew this was against what her kind would do, and would surely be frowned upon, and so Aletta and Synn's training was usually held in private, but not far from the Isket lands.

"Hmm.... We need to work on your defending. I'm not too impressed on todays lesson, but I suppose you'll just have to make it up to me next time dear..." Aletta warned, stepping off her apprentice Synn.
Synn let out the breath she had been holding, glad to have not been punished this time for her slip up. Taking a second to watch her mentor retreat from over top her, Synn caught her breath back after their tough, taxing lesson. Aletta had pushed Synn to her limits today, and today the young Warrior of Isket had not been on the ball. Her mind lay elsewhere on her homeland, concerned over the current Kronador activity. It was always concerning when young Kronador's ventured too close to her packs lands, and they often ended in physical conflict.

Synn slid her paws beneath her frame and stood to her feet, shaking her fur off in embarrassment. She dipped her head in understanding of her mentor's words, growing hot with anger that she had done so poorly. "I'm sorry Aletta. I promise to make it up to you..." Synn replied respectfully, turning lick her paw that fresh blood had started to pool from at a cut she had earned from practice today. Synn practice with Aletta with no armor, and often payed the price for it. Aletta was very skilled in the art of battle, and did not often show mercy even in practice. Synn had gotten lucky today, though, and good thing; she was already so sore she was sure she would pass out as soon as she reached home. Synn again dipped her head, but this time in farewell. Without further instruction, Synn dismissed herself from the Hybrid Shifters battle ring, and revealed herself to the open air once more.

The air outside was much clearer, fresher to her nose as she breathed in the fresh smell of forest not far off. Synn no more than glanced back at where she had left Aletta, only to no longer see her mentor. Synn shrugged off her tiredness and started for the woods that would lead her back to the Land of Isket.

-time skip-

Synn's paws dragged along the dirt and undergrowth pathway that connected her to Aletta's world, and Synn's own. It was her way to and from lands, a much shorter walk than one would expect. The Trainee's eyes were barely open as she fought to keep sleep away, and her tail dragged along the dust pathway, Synn to tired to keep it higher above the ground. Only a few feet more and Synn would be free from the forest and onto the grassy plains of Isket. She could see it now even, a teal blue and bright as the sun shown down on it. It only took a few more paw steps until the Trainee was free from the woods and in the sunshine that was oddly not hot, but pleasantly warm. The female paused to look over the plains, sniffing the fresh air gleefully, happy to be home.

Synn froze mid-sniff. She smelled blood, and it wasn't a meager amount at that. Her pupils shrunk in terror as she recognized the faint scent of Kronador, her ears plastering against her head in worry. Without so much a second breath, Synn took off, her paws pounding hard against the earth as fast as they could run. She kept running, and the smell of blood and monster became more and more overwhelming. The Trainee slowed as the sight of a previously but freshly used battle field lay in front of her, patches of blood here and there. Synn was now surely overreacting. By the smell of things it seemed her pack had pushed the Kronadors back, and this settled Synn for the moment. For the moment, which didn't last long. As Synn began to retreat from the battle field, she picked up the scent of a young male Kronador a few tail lengths off from where the battle had taken place.

Her heart began to pound as her stomach dropped. Quite a bit off Synn could see the Kronador over three pups that it seemed to have stumbled across. The Trainee watched in horror as the monster began to attack. Not hesitating, Synn dashed for the Kronador at full speed. Although Synn was but a Trainee, it was nearly time she became a warrior. She had gone through much training, and although she may not be able to handle this Kronador on her own, she was going to try. She closed the distance... 100 feet... 60 feet... 20 feet... She grew closer and closer, her magenta eyes glowing in anger and hatred as the Kronador continued to knock around the pups, throwing them to their sides roughly.

Synn was not 5 feet from the Kronador when she leaped into the air, angling her jump just right so that she crashed into the side of the teal skinned creature. She had caught the Kronador off guard, and now the two tumbled ferociously together. It wouldn't be long before the Kronador regained its composure and would apply more resistance against her. Making due with the advantage she had, Synn sank her teeth into the creature's arm, crunching down forcefully; disregarding the Kronador's roars of pain and anger.
Synn was about to release it's arm when with it's other the Kronador bailed it's arm into Synn's side. Synn heard a sickening crack followed by a stab of numbing pain as the Kronador hit her rib cage, sending her off the teal monster and into the air. She landed with a loud thump, and tried to stand up but found herself disoriented as she fell back onto the soft grass, mind spinning in confusion.

Luther happily made his way into the pack of gathered warriors making there way home. The large Kronador arm bounced in his maw while its claw bobbled in the wind. Luther playful shook it at the other warriors using it as a 3rd arm for his own amusement hopefully trying to get a scare out of one of them. A low rumbling laugh was joined with his smirk as he continued to wave it back and forth as if it was a flag of victory. As he whipped his head to the left about to swing the arm again he stopped dead in his track as did the other warriors. A young pup was running in their direction frantically as if it was running from something or to something.
"Kro- Creatu-...They need help" the young female pup panted obviously frantic about the situation as she shared words with Dax. Luther let out a large groan "These pup's can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble" he mumbled with the arm still in his mouth. Letting the arm roll out of his mouth it hit the ground with a large thud. Upon impact the once curled claw open revealing it's large claws to the moonlight. He would grab it later on their way home. "Here we go again-" Luther said rolling into his armor and lifting it onto his lean figure. He quickly curled his head and yanked the straps of his armor constricting the leather around his body. Rolling his shoulders forward he shook his body vigorously making sure his armor was strapped tightly. Luther sent Dax a ready glance and departed after the pup that was already in fast haste. His long strides pressed him forward keeping up with the small pup becoming a blur among the grass of Isket. "Isolde! I found help!"" the little pup yipped out infront of him. Here we go...

{the group picture looks amazing neara, great job}

Sasha bit down on her lip, than looked down at her leg, before turning her attention to watched Dax and the others run off after the young pup. She put a little bit of weight down on her leg and let out a soft yip..she really shouldn't be running on it..but she couldn't let the other warriors run out and defend the young ones, she needed to help. She snarled when she thought about the Kronador that attacked her parents when she was young, she was too young to save them..but she wasen't going to let the Kronador's kill another wolf on her watch. She raised herself up, than took off after the others as fast as she could go, which wasen't as fast as the other wolves because of her hurt front leg. She tried to ignore the pain that was cause with each stride, but it was very hard. Thankfully when the Kronador threw her in the air, it only pulled her leg muscle so it only hurt when she put weight down on her leg.

Spectral shook his head when he saw Sasha take after the others. He knew his sister shouldn't be putting so much strain on her leg, but should be resting. But once Sasha got something in her head nothing would stop her, not even if he ran down and demanded her to come back to rest. Instead of doing that, he kept his gaze turned over to the waterfall, trying to make sure no other young male Kronador decides to check out the scent of the fresh blood that was being spilled from the pups.

((Tevron might be Teslim's mentor? ^^" EDIT: Love the pictures soo much! XP))

Tevron sprinted up the last incline and skidded to a halt, golden markings flashing brilliantly in the bright moonlight that washed over the battle scene. Growling to no one in particulare he tensely paced back and forth, mind calculating the best movement and attack in which to do on the jouvenile Kronador. He swung his head around to glance at Dax, then at Swift. Silently he moved off in a semi circle, down the slope and around the side of the battle field. As he slunk away he heard a sickening crack as the Kronador his Synn's rib cage. Tevron winced and continued moving, a shadow in the night, swift, silent and deadly. Slowly he slunk, untill he had made his way just to the side of the Kronador. He crouched and waited, and now! With a deafening roar he pushed off with his hind legs and soared into the sky, leaping clear over the bush and sailing towards the enemy. With bared teeth and ready claws he landed on the young Kronadors back, immeditaly seeking a place to sink in his teeth. He bit down hard into the neck, around the base, and jerked away his head, tearing a large chunk out of the unprepaired and un-schooled Kronador. He shrieked in reply and twisted around, bucking and tearing in desperate attempt to throw Tevron. But he clung on and continued to rip and tear from the Kronadors neck. Screeching in rage and charged towards a tree and threw himself at it. Tevron yelped and crashed agiasnt the tree, sliding off and hitting the ground with a loud thud. The Kronador cackled evilly and turned around, blood pouring out his neck, and demonic eyes gleaming. He wanted the pups ever so more now. Tevron suddenly lifted his head, and stared past the Kronador, “Quickly pups, run! Run over the hills and back to the den! Quickly!”. The Kronador heard his voice and angrily turned to Tevron, remembering the pain that he had caused him. With a roar of anger he charged towards the injured Tevron, but he was too quick. Tevron leapt up at the last minute and his teeth closed around the jugular and main arteries in the neck. As he was about to rip open the throat the Kronador smacked his head down onto Tevron and he fell away from the Kronador. The beast turned around and charged towards Teslim, loud, harsh breathing filled the night. Tevron saw this happebing, but his vision blurred. He had made a fatal mistake, and now he was going to die for it. He struggled up and limped a few paces, then slipped to the floor and whimpered. He wanted to fight ever soo badly. He growled, and the blood pooled around him. Summoning all his courage he once agian hauled himself up, shook out his bloody coat and armor and limped back towards Swift. "Be-careful." he panted weakly, as he nudged her out of the way. He turned back towards the Kronador, but saved his last ounce of strengh and looked towards Dax, waiting for his move. Tevron swayed alarmingly and nearly chrashed agian to the floor, but by some miracle, held his own.

[Not me nope]

[Sure, I'd love that ^^
Edit: While writing this (don't ask why) I will survive was on lol]

" Swift..." He shook "I can't lift myself.... it hurts.... I don't know what happened..." Teslim fell again. With weakness he was able too lift his hind up, just as the korondar charged at him. he saw a strek of black, a call, a scream and he fell. He wished this too be over with and hoped it was a dream. But it couldn't be. He felt The pain rush through his knotted memories and aching body. Blood tickled against his fur, what seemed staining it a dull black as doing so. But it wasn't stained. He felt as if it was his own. But too know, he would have too lift his head, which was a great difficulty in these circumstances.

He moved back, shrunken, still, and scared, his eyes flikering. as he pushed hiself back against the floor, he stared up into Isodles eyes. "You said everything was ok... you said we would escape... ourselves... you said we didn't need help...." He smiled, tears now flowing down his quivering cheeks. He limped up, pulling himself too his brother. He ruffled his head into his fur, scared as he watched Dax and Tevron fight. Tevron looked so brave he thaught, Hoping someday he would be able too be that good. Looked like Tevron was his role model

[amarula]

((Is being naughty and posting agian, hope no one minds! ^^ Bcs, you will have to roleplay it out and ask though! <3))

Tevron snarled vicously as he heard Teslims frantics yelps. He turned around to glance at him, and suddenly had to leap out of the way as the Kronador swiped his sharp claws at his flank. He swayed once agian but quickly regained his footing and hurridly limped towards the pup. As he was painfully making his way there the jouvenile beast shiped agian and clipped his leg. Tevron stumbled and chrashed to the floor. With a defiant bark and angry snarl he leapt towards the Kronador once agian and started the battle, getting in some good nips and bites. He couldn't do anything major as he was too injured so he left the big attacks for Dax. The Kronador was preoccupied so he seized this moment and trotted awkwardly and painfully over to the pups. "Listen, you're going to be allright, it's fine. Calm down. I know it hurts but you'll learn to get used to the pain shortly." he whispered. His flanks rose and feel heavily as he panted and the blood dripped off his body, armor and wounds. Gently he nudged Teslim and Isolde back out of the way, then solemly licked Teslim's cheek once, licking away the tears. Tevron then turned and trotted back to the fight, lunged at the Kronadors tail and got a hold there.
