Pet's ID Tag: #66
Name You'd Choose for It: Kifa
Gender: Male
Reason You Want It: He is beautiful, a flaming wolf with beautiful markings, and would make a wonderful mate for my Nova Senovi.
History/Background/Other:
Name: Kifa
Species: spirit wolf
Personality:
Kifa was always a courageous and proud Spirit wolf cub when he was younger, and he kept these traits as he grew older, adding kindliness and loyalty. However, on the day his adopted mother died, Kifa finally realized that the world was not as kind and fair as he’d thought, and that to survive; you had to be meaner than the person next to you.
It took a long time for this to sink in, but it finally did, just as Kire fought him.
It seems to have gone again, now, though maybe Nova made it vanish…
Likes:
His 'forbidden love' Nova Senovi
Kifa’s infatuation with Nova is kind of strange, given the fact that she is a wolf, and he a Spirit wolf, but it doesn’t seem to matter with Kifa.
Several of the she-wolves, such as Beris, fancied him, but none of them loved him like Nova. Even if they are different species, it’s a match made in heaven.
Dislikes:
Kire, Alphess of his adopted pack.
Now, don’t take this the wrong way, it was not because she was the Alphess that he disliked her, it was the fact that she was a deranged, psychopathic, murdering, evil, scary- do you want me to go on? Oh yeah, wolf.
He had a very good reason if you ask me!
Background:
On earth, people used to believe that comets were an omen of bad things to come.
Certainly, on Sapia, when a Spirit wolf cub was born with a coat the colour of a comet trail, things began to go wrong.
First, Kifa’s parents died, and he had to be brought up by a wolf pack’s healer, a golden wolf named Carisa. Then little accidents, wolves falling into ponds, tree falling on dens. Etc.
While he was staying with Carisa, he met Nova Senovi or Sovay as she was sometimes called, a beautiful blue wolf, and although they were different species, instantly fell in love.
When the hunters came, Kifa was with the pack, having become an active part of it, but when they set fire to the forest, he went in search of Nova.
He searched for a long time, but Nova was gone, so he finally emerged from the forest, panting, and rejoined with the pack.
The first thing he noticed was the stricken faces of his pack members.
"What happened?" He asked, fearful of the answer, "Where's the Alpha, and Nova?"
It was the Alphess, Kire, who answered. "The Alpha, my Kiram, is dead, the humans killed him."
Kifa was horrified, but one thought stuck in his head. "Where's Nova Senovi?"
No-one replied.
Angry, he shrieked. "Where's Sovay!?"
Once again, Kire answered, "She's dead, Kifa, she's gone."
Kifa looked round at all the other wolves, hoping that it was all a big joke, but they all stared back, horror reflected in their faces.
All except one.
Carisa looked confusedly round at the other wolves. "Nova's no-"
Kire cut her off with a fearsome snarl, leaping at Carisa and raking her claws down Carisa's sides.
"Nova is DEAD! Understand? It was only a matter of time, she was a freak!"
Frail, gentle Carisa suddenly growled. "My daughter is not a freak!" She looked at Kifa. "The humans took her! Run and you can save her!"
Kire spat. "Save her, and they'll come back looking for more freaks, let her die. Why is it right she lives when Kiram is dead?! LEAVE HER, Kifa, or die."
The whole pack advanced, teeth bared.
Kifa took an uncertain step back. "Kire? Carisa?"
Kire snarled again. "Choose."
Holding his head up high, Kifa stepped forward. "I WILL save her."
"Then DIE!" Kire screamed, and the whole pack echoed her words as she leapt at Kifa.
Kifa shut his eyes, but instead of impact, there was a terrified shriek.
He cautiously opened his eyes.
Carisa was huge. She was three times her size and her green eyes blazed with anger as she threw Kire across the clearing. She'd intercepted Kire mid-leap and thrown her to the ground.
Kire leapt up, and Carisa became normal again, just as Kire sped towards her.
"Run, Kifa!" Carisa yelled as she met Kire head on, and the two she-wolves began to fight.
Kifa hesitated, but sped off.
Kifa stumbled forward across the rough terrain, breath catching in his throat. "NOVA!" He howled, "Where are you?" He spun round, still howling for Nova, but no reply came.
Behind him, faint but clear; he thought he heard the cry of an injured wolf, screaming his name.
"CARISA!" He shrieked, torn between his lost love and his adopted mother. "CARISA! NOVA! CARISA! MOTHER!"
"Kifa..." Came the reply, from very close behind him. "My sweet boy, you must run."
Kifa froze, not trusting his senses. "Mother- Carisa, how did you escape?"
"Turn around, Kifa dear." Said Carisa's voice, and Kifa turned and looked at her. "I didn't."
Carisa was standing there, her golden coat shimmering, but stained red below her throat, but she was slightly blurry, like a image on the other side of a dirty window.
Kifa gasped in shock and fell to his knees, "Kire, I-I'll KILL her!"
Carisa's ghost looked stern. "No, Kifa, don't sink to her level! You must run, Kire is coming- The pack is coming, and they are after you."
Slowly, Kifa regained his footing and stood up. "For you, Carisa. Stay with me."
Carisa's ghost smiled a little and faded a tiny bit. "I will always be with you."
Kifa shook his head. "NO! Mother, I cannot lose you again!"
Carisa just smiled as she faded away.
Kifa gave a sob, but then heard the unmistakable sound of Kire's voice coming from the way he'd just come, and he set off again.
Many hours later, when he was giving up all hope of ever finding Nova again, he saw a flash of turquoise, and heard Nova cry out "Zippurra?" He raced forwards, and found a hunter standing in the middle of a clearing, a sack over his shoulder and a seemingly dead silver wolf at his feet.
He stared at the hunter.
The hunter stared at him.
Kifa slowly drew his lips back over his teeth in a soundless snarl.
The hunter raised his gun and aimed.
Without thinking, Kifa leapt high, feeling the bullet rush beneath his back as he twisted upside down and landed again, then took off and launched himself straight for the man's throat.
The hunter was still gaping at Kifa's incredibly acrobatics when the flame coloured cannonball of death slammed into him; it was only the sword in the man's belt that saved him.
Kifa slammed into the hunter, and the sword slammed into him, flat side first, but still painful.
When he next looked up, the silver wolf had gone, and he recognized a Kiasni, a cross between a wolf and a panther, standing in front of the man, a feral snarl coming from it's mouth. The hunter had aimed at it, so Kifa leapt again, this time striking the target, though not quite before the man fired once at the Kiasni, once again a silver wolf, and once at him.
The silver wolf staggered a few steps away, then changed into a human girl with long silver hair, and nodded at him gratefully. He returned the gesture, then ran on, shrugging the bullet out of his shoulder as he did.
Kifa found a place to sleep in an old hollow tree, and gratefully curled up for the night.
He awoke to find a tall white wolf standing over him, and growled.
"Relax." The white wolf said. "I'm not going to hurt you."
Kifa relaxed for maybe half a second, before the white wolf looked over her shoulder and called. "Kire! I found him!" Kifa stared at her, it felt like he'd been betrayed, and he suddenly realized he knew her, he'd liked her at one point.
"Beris!" He said, his eyes full of pain, "I'm so sorry."
Beris frowned. “Sorry? What for-“
He leapt straight at Beris, flinging her up against a tree with a crunch, and fled, Kire following for a while, but then stopping.
Kire snarled at his retreating back. "Lieutenant Beris!" She howled. "Get me an army ready, stat."
Beris looked up at Kire, looking sad and lonely, like she was lost in a mist inside her body.
"Kire..." She said. "It's Kifa, not a enemy pack! You can't kill him!"
Kire snorted in disgust. "Kifa." She said the name with distaste. "He's an enemy of the pack, Beris, now WORK!"
Beris stood firm.
Kire smirked. "You like him."
Beris snarled. "What if I do?"
Kire's voice changed, sounding sweet and innocent, and slightly hurt. "He'll never love you, Beris. That traitor loves Nova Senovi, not you." She stepped towards Beris.
Once again, Beris snarled, but her hesitation was clear. "Kifa... Doesn't... Love me?"
Kire grinned, she sensed a victory. "No, you're nothing but a silly little girl to him, leave him, forget about him."
Beris gazed towards where Kifa had gone without speaking, so Kire continued.
"Take your revenge for years of rejection, Berri." She whispered, using Kifa's nickname for her. "Kill him."
Beris nodded viciously and went to gather troops.
Kifa ran and ran, his paws covering the ground as he headed away from the tree.
Occasionally, he glanced back towards the forest, to see if Kire was following him, but saw nothing, so he continued until he found a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, several wolves leapt in front of him, including a silver wolf who acted like the leader. "Your purpose?" Said a black wolf. Kifa simply said. "I'm lost." And then stared at the silver wolf.
The silver wolf leapt in front of him. "Kifa." She said.
Kifa was startled. "How do yo-" His face suddenly cleared. "You're Zippurra!"
"You saved my life," The wolf smiled "And someone is looking for you."
Kifa grinned happily. "Nova!"
At the exact moment he said her name, Nova Senovi appeared with the Alphess.
"KIFA!" Nova cried.
"NOVA!" Yelled Kifa.
They rushed to each other and hugged.
The Alphess came down to stand beside Zippurra and smiled, everything was ok.
Then Kire and her army burst out of the trees.
With an enraged roar, Kire headed for the pack.
Nova gasped. "Kire?"
The Alphess, whose name was Liaoli, wasted no time at all. "Warriors, battle stations, yes, that means you, Shixi!"
Her mate, a black, blue and grey wolf bounded up. "Liaoli, they're approaching from both sides!"
Zippurra nodded to her sister's mate. "It's ok, I've got it. HUNTERS, to me!" She yelled, and changed into her wolf-cat form, terrifying the advancing troops.
Liaoli turned to her mate. "Nyte, take Sovay and Kifa round the side-"
Kifa cut her off, staring hungrily at Kire. "No. Kire's MINE!"
Nova tugged at Kifa's front leg. "No, Kifa, it's just Kire, it's our pack, you-"
"Kire killed Carisa, she's mine." Kifa said, flatly.
Nova looked thunderstruck, and they both headed at Kire.
Kire snapped her jaws together and sneered when she saw the two wolves heading for her. "Traitors! Human tainted traitors!" She yelled to the pack. "Beris, ATTACK."
Beris and her troops headed straight for Kifa, a look of hatred on Beris's pure white face.
Kifa snarled and tried to leap away, but both Nova and him were trapped in a circle of wolves."
Nova whispered to him. "Think Kiasni, like Zippurra, and human. Do it."
Kifa concentrated, and both the wolves shuddered and transformed.
With a roar, both of them swept the troops away, then they changed to human.
Kire's face was contorted with rage, so much did she hate humans, she leapt at them, thinking they were harmless.
The Kifa boy swung his arm and flung Kire away, then the Nova-girl chased her, flinging her to the ground.
Both changed back, then looked at the insane Alphess.
"Kire." Kifa said. "I should kill you, but I cannot."
Kire gave a strangled laugh. "There... is nothing you can't do, Kifa, you're obviously lying." She sneered
Kifa looked solemn. "I will spare you." he stepped away
Kire leapt to her feet and leapt onto Kifa’s back, so he twisted, and bit down hard.
Kire gasped. "You just murdered an Alphess.... You're a traitor, a crazed loner now."
Kifa looked sad. "You were always the crazed loner, Kirrecashia," He said slowly, using Kire's spirit name, "You killed your own sister, Carisa."
Kire laughed. "For the good of the- she was- Oh Carisa, what have I done?" She cried, then turned to Kifa and Nova. "You're a good couple, live well."
Nova nodded. "Thank you, Kire."
Kire sighed once more. "Kiram..." Then lay still.
And so Kire, the crazed wolf died.
Nova looked at Kifa, “We can change shape!” She grinned, then transformed into an unnaturally coloured Spirit wolf.
Kifa grinned back. “Nova… I can be with you forever, that is, if you want me?”
“Of course I do!” Nova exclaimed, then hugged Kifa hard.
“I’ll always want you…”
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
