Delta Velorum Foxes are tall looking foxes that are only located on the remote planet of Delta Velorum.

Standing between 2 - 2 1/2 feet at the should, Delta Velorum Foxes are very tall in appearance compared to Red Foxes on Earth. They tend to be long legged in appearance and are well known for their endurance and agility. Males tend to be more muscular then females while female are more slender and elegant in appearance. A Delta Foxes fur tends to be very soft and short, and come in a wide variety of natural colors. It is not uncommon to see them in roans and dun colors similar to horses and are commonly seen in cat colors and patterns as well (such as calico, tabby, bengal markings ect). However the combination of colors and patterns are limitless, and each Delta Velorum Fox is different from the next. No two are ever the same in looks. Delta Velorum Foxes can come in any eye color and combination - no matter if it's natural or unnatural. A fox with two or more eye colors (known as Heterochromia) is uncommon but not unheard of.


Variety: Custom tail, Custom facial markings. Eye Glow, Custom short and ripped ears, Custom Lines. Neither Dead or Alive.
Sterile, Unable to breed.

* His/Her tail is 2-3x longer then the long tail variety
* Ears are both short, fluffy, and ripped.
* Is nether dead nor alive, but a ghost trapped onto this world
* Cannot breed.
* Yes he is partly see through, and glows!

* Was once a proud warrior, would be 150 year old today.

------------ Idril
Idril was a proud and noble warrior, she would do everything and anything in her power to serve her Clan and her Alpha. She was consider one of the strongest and was very respected in the clan. She had a strong heart and wasn't one to back down from a battle. She was a fighter and she was proud. She enjoyed fighting and was loyal to a fault. She looked up to her Alpha… never would she have thought of turning her back on him. Brave, though a little stern; she liked seeing the job get done. Whether it was a simple patrol or even a hunting mission, she was always on guard and rather efficient.

------------ Desolation
As a ghost trapped between the two worlds; her proud warrior status diminished, along with her inner fire. She became lost after years of being alone and cursed. Lonely and depressed Desolation has always sought the attention of others. Always wanting a family of her own she has a soft spot for kits though could never have them. She finds the wanting to protect the young but always ends up frighting them. Which further upsets her. Desolation is almost a completely different fox compared to Idril who she once was. Skittish and even sometimes desperate she will react strangely upon meeting others. At first she would jump and be fearful almost but then linger towards them seeking attention usually she will burst into tears when they either cannot see her, or run away screaming. Her tears are more like wisps and her wails can come off as frightening though she doesn't realize it. Desolation is a wreck emotionally; though is more kind hearted then Idril was.

There once was a warrior proud and free; her name was Idril, and once upon a time, it was a name I felt honoured to have. My story begins when I was very young abandoned outside the clan, I had no parents, and they left me to die… I was found by the Alpha himself, though I am no longer allowed to utter his name, I held such a respect for him. He became like my father, he took me in and raised me himself; he taught me how to hunt and fight. He taught me how to be a true warrior, and that as a true warrior; I would put the clan first. So I did, and I grew up to be one of the most bravest, strongest and almost ruthless warriors. I never backed down from a challenge and never would I disobey my Alpha. My childhood was very basic, nothing was really unusually aside from having been abandoned, so there isn't much to talk about there.

I worked my way up the ranks; before long I was Lead Fighter and I couldn't be happier. I loved the thrill of the hunt and the attack. I remember vividly how it all started. We lived during a time of peace or so I was raised to believe, sure we fought off loners every now and then but it never seemed important to me back then. The Alpha's word was law, how could we not obey? It started as a routine patrol, near the edge of the forest where the badlands were. The alpha told us to get rid of any who got to close… I didn't know why, perhaps because it was to close to winter and we were getting low on food? Not enough to share. I like to think that was his reasoning. I stared ahead through the branches as the sun pooled down over our pelts, I closed my blue eyes for only a second as I heard the rustle of the bush.

Someone...


Someone was near, it was then I opened my eyes and jumped ahead of the others tackling the fox in the bush, we engaged in a vicious fight for territory, "leave this place." I warned narrowing my eyes. The fox growled in return shaking their head, "I cannot… there is no food I have no place to go." He snapped back arguing with me. I turned my head back to see the other fighters, they were a bit older, but I was the lead, I had to set an example. "Leave or I will make you." I warned again opening my sharp eyes to glare back. He growled and shook his head refusing to leave. So I made him, not without getting a few cuts on myself, nothing serious but you should have seen the other fox. He was limping so badly I didn't think he'd make it far. I turned to the others seeing them stare at me in awe… it sparked something inside of me. I was trained by the Alpha after all so I better be strong.

That was how it all began, the dark descent towards my fate. The times changed, before long I was a fully-grown adult. The land became scarce of pray and my worst fears came true; the clan was forced to move. The lands were shaped into deserts and we headed to find shelter, it was a long journey and soon we came across the only place that seemed to be striving. A small valley where a forest was; however there was already a clan there. "We should head south… perhaps there is more room there?" I suggested to the alpha that shook his valiant head, "No… we will stay here." He said, "But there is already a clan…" I said, he narrowed his eyes and glared at me, I flinched and looked down.

"Then we will take it from them, there is only room for one clan and we need food." He explained, my eyes widened, how could the Alpha… ever think about taking over another clan's territory after he worked so hard about keeping his own territory from loners. However we couldn't argue against the Alpha. We invaded the valley and took over the clan's camp running them out after defeating their Alpha. My Alpha gleamed with pride, and nudged my shoulder, "Good work." He purred lightly, before lifting his head and letting out a yowl of victory, the cries and cheers of the clan echoed over the Valley.

"Victory!"


We overtook the clan’s camp and made it our own; never in my life did I think I would have run another clan away from their home. I felt a little ashamed at first, but my Alpha assured me that it was right to do, for the clan's survival; we always put the clan first. "You would never doubt my judgment would you?" he questioned me quietly flicking his long tail; I looked away shaking my head. "Never." I said swiftly, how could I? He was like my father; he was just doing what was best. He smiled a bit at me, "Your almost like my beta." he said nuzzling my head, "Your growing up so fast." he said, "You make me proud, keep it up." he murmured flicking his tail across my side, "Go on patrol Idril." he ordered. I dipped my head and took off lightly.

I held my head high; after all I was a warrior! I was a fighter… I was the Alpha's favourite. Proud as I was, it was what blinded me from the truth. We lived there for the next year or so before it happened. The foxes we ran off came back but not alone. They brought with them a neighbouring clan and we went to war. The Alpha's deadlocked in battle, I growled lashing my long tail to smack another fox in the face causing them to falter, and I bit onto their side dragging them down. The fights seemed to last forever; I yowled in pain as another fox jumped on me and tore up my ears. "Fight back!" The Alpha's yowl sounded out, he had taken down the other Alpha and they sent the others packing after them. I viciously snarled and threw the other fox off my back and turned on him clawing and snapping.

I whipped my tail in his face causing him to fall back and yelp landing with a thud I jumped on him but before I could do anymore another tackled me off. I let out a warning growl but the vixen wouldn't back down, she hissed at me and launched herself towards me ready to bite my throat I swiftly moved down my head and bashed it up against her jaw. The cracking sound was enough to tell me I did my job right. Those were the lighter fights I had gotten into, the severity of the fights increased with every blow, the Alpha's howl sounded out again as a warning to those invading the camp. He would rid them himself if he had too. It didn't take to long for us to sort through, some joined the clan and others left banished to the badlands.

We won...


I was not prepared for what was to happen next, as I took my place beside my Alpha, as a strong warrior, though still proud I no longer felt noble. "You’re getting older." The Alpha said, looking at me, "I have raised you well." he explained to me before looking away, "Thank you Alpha…" I said, I had at the time called him by his name, but no longer could I use it in a sentence, I will get to that part soon enough. He turned his head to me once again nudging me, "Have you considered settling down with a family this year?" he asked referring to how mating season was upon us. I shook my head, "My duty is to my clan Alpha, I cannot settle down this year." I stated simply, I was a warrior after all. "What about a mate?" He questioned further, I blinked tenderly, "A mate with no kits?" I asked in return, "Yes." he said, "Idril you are my strongest warrior and I could trust no other to be mine." he said, I was shocked… the Alpha asked me to be his mate. I could see it in his eyes, I could not say no; if I refused I could very well be banished… or worst by his fangs.

"Yes Alpha, I will be yours." I said, though I did not want to, how could I refuse? I looked away, that was how my downfall began, when I was announced his mate, my clan mates cheered me on, some were happy for me and others were jealous… was I the only one who felt it was wrong? It seemed that way to me, lately, he had grown dark, his heart cold, he snapped at everything that upset him in the slightest… He broke so many rules and traditions, he was starting wars and picking fights with everyone daring for a challenge! The Alpha had become evil, yet it seemed I was the only one who noticed. If I was the only one who knew… was I the only one who could stop him? Stop the Alpha, the very words made me shutter; none could fight him, not even another Alpha. How was I to stop him? Perhaps it would get better if we just continued to follow him, maybe he would change. I hoped he would change…

He didn't.


Life seemed to go by without too much trouble, the Alpha didn't want kits this year, he said when we got older we would have a few kits to take his title. One day anyways, I dreaded the thought but simply acknowledged it. Then a patrol came back and reported spotting some loners roaming near the territory, nothing but some weaklings. I frowned at the thought of it, "Get rid of them." The Alpha snorted uncaring towards the thought of it, "Idril lead them." He ordered before returning to his den to rest. My heart swelled a bit but not in a good way. I was concerned by what my clan mate said by weaklings and young. I couldn't harm the young I never brought myself to be able to do so… hopefully I can get them away without fail.

I trotted away from the border and looked around, they had fled into the rocks near by, we tracked them down and found… it was horrendous, many were hurt and barely old enough to fight. Some were elders who looked to old to make much more of a journey, I gasped, we couldn't hurt them… It wouldn't be noble, after all the horrible things my clan had already done this was not going to be on the list. I ordered the others to fall back, confused they looked at me before I growled and snapped at them, "and I will fight you my selves if I have to." I said defending the loners. "B-But that would be… disobeying the Alpha…" one muttered to me, "Then I will take the punishment." I said… I was his mate now so hopefully that would spare my life. I told the loner's to leave and get as far away as they could. They thanked me in return but offered me a young kit. I folded my ears back, "What?" I questioned the elder, he coughed weakly, "I am to old... to carry on much longer please care for my great-grand kit, she's a runt and won't survive much longer without food…" he begged of me. I frowned and looked at the young kit, she reminded me; of myself when I was young, abandoned, alone with no one to care for me. Perhaps this kit would bring back the Alpha I once respected.

I agreed to care for the kit and returned to the clan's camp, one of the younger males ratted me out about letting them live and leave. The Alpha growled upon my return and lashed his claw across my cheek, "What is the meaning of this?" he asked, I looked into his eyes, I had hidden the kit safely behind me wrapped in my tail for comfort, "You said get rid of them… you never said kill them… they were to weak to be taken as a challenge to your title Alpha." I assured him he growled and knocked me down I yelped as I let go of the kit, he growled, "Then what is this?" He snarled, "A runt?" His eye twitched as he slowly turned to me, "No kits that aren't mine… especially runts; get rid of It." he ordered. "No." I spoke up.

"No…?"


"Excuse me?" he questioned forcing me to look at his face, I flinched, why did I say that? I looked at the kit that was now mewling for warmth, I stood over her gently, "She needs help, and I can't bring myself to let her die out there." I said quietly to him, his ear twitched before he snarled and tackled me down, "How dare you not only disobey me, but turn against me! And for what a kit? If you want kits, you can have our kits, but I will not raise that thing." He protested and then shook his head he grabbed onto my throat and then threw me away roughly, "if you dare disobey me again you'll regret it Idril, no one defies me!" he growled and picked up the kit walking away. "N-No don't!" I gasped and got up meekly, the kit… he would kill it…. I couldn't let him. I snarled and ran after him and pounced at him biting his side. He yowled and dropped the kit before turning on me, "You dare challenge your Alpha?" he asked, I shook with both fear and fury, he was so strong, far stronger then I was but I wouldn't let him harm the kit.

We engaged in a battle to what I assumed would be to the death. The longest and hardest battle of my life, we were neck and neck out for blood. I never in my life fought so hard against him, after everything he did he didn't deserve to call himself an Alpha anymore! I had speed on my side, but it wasn't enough, his raw power was enough to endure my speed until I got tired, then… he got serious. He started moving not only faster but his power it seemed like he was only toying with me before as he picked me up and threw me away with ease. "Is that all you have Idril? I thought I trained you better!" he laughed darkly moving closer, I rolled swirly and slipped under him before kicking him in the side, he yelped and rolled over allowing me to get a few good shots on him before he reached up and grabbed my neck again, was this the end? Honestly I wish it had been the end for me right then. Instead he knocked me around until I passed out.

When I woke up, I was chained down, I never before had seen such things used on others, and the Alpha had saved it for just the right moment. "Idril… for your disgrace, betrayal and for dishonouring not only your alpha but your clan as well…" he said lowly glaring at me, "You will spend the rest of your days forever alone! You will no longer be able to settle down or have a mate. Never will you have kits. Never can you protect anyone you care for, never will you disobey me again." he smirked; he drew some form of runes both around me and on my body, chanting some words of sorts. I couldn't quite understand what exactly he was saying… but then I felt like my body was on fire, I screamed in pain for the whole time he was there… about an hour and then my screams fell silent as he left me there, deep in the cave of the mountains that surrounded the valley.

"Help… is anyone… there?"


No one ever came for me, I was alone for as long as I could remember, and I didn't know how much time passed, if it was night or day anymore. It was so dark and I was so lonely, no one answered my pleads for help. Soon enough I gave up trying to call for help, I gave up on everything, yet every day I woke up to still being their… still being trapped. So long I waited and then one day I managed to get up… and I walked for the first time in years only this time. Nothing stopped me. Nothing was holding me down; I couldn't really feel like I was covered in chains yet I knew there were one on my tail and one on my leg. I was free? But how? Was it all a dream? I walked outside slowly and gasped as I saw the world… everything had changed… what was this place? The trees were all huge, and I didn't really recognize anything.

I walked out slowly, maybe my punishment was finished? Perhaps he would take me back… I wandered towards where I remembered the camp being but nothing was there… it was like the clan had abandoned this place ages ago, like no one had lived here in years. What happened to this place? Had I been in there for longer then I thought? No it couldn't have been that long I would have needed food right? I frowned and wandered away soon enough I found myself looking into a puddle shocked to see I was now see-through… tears came out in long wisps of mist, I wailed loudly… in that cave some time ago… I died. I could have been in there for years and no one knew, no one missed me… the kit, what happened to the kit? I broke down he cursed me! His final words ringing in my ears… he cursed me. No longer could I die, but I was no longer alive either, I was trapped between the two worlds… forever alone.

Forever

t h e // n i c k n a m e
After so many years of being alone locked away, when she was finally free of the cave she found herself to be dead, but trapped forever on the earth. If the Alpha could not have her, no one would. No longer did she feel the right to call herself Idril, instead she took the name Desolation for how she felt. Her warrior heart had perished with her mortal form all because she disobeyed her Alpha, her mate… to help a Kit who she could not save. Desolation deeply regrets her life and her choices; her constant desires of attention usually shattered by those she meets.


i n t e r a c t i o n s
--------- Simba
As an example to how other foxes usually react around her Simba is the perfect fox to start with. Simba is stuck up, bossy and overall believes he is better then the rest, perhaps even Royalty. Desolation met him when he was staring at himself in the waters near the forest she had been staying in. The first fox she had seen in years aside from recently herself.

So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path

I couldn't harm the young I never brought myself to be able to do so… hopefully I can get them away without fail.

I trotted away from the border and looked around, they had fled into the rocks near by, we tracked them down and found… it was horrendous, many were hurt and barely old enough to fight. Some were elders who looked to old to make much more of a journey, I gasped, we couldn't hurt them… It wouldn't be noble, after all the horrible things my clan had already done this was not going to be on the list. I ordered the others to fall back, confused they looked at me before I growled and snapped at them, "and I will fight you my selves if I have to." I said defending the loners. "B-But that would be… disobeying the Alpha…" one muttered to me, "Then I will take the punishment." I said… I was his mate now so hopefully that would spare my life. I told the loner's to leave and get as far away as they could. They thanked me in return but offered me a young kit. I folded my ears back, "What?" I questioned the elder, he coughed weakly, "I am to old... to carry on much longer please care for my great-grand kit, she's a runt and won't survive much longer without food…" he begged of me. I frowned and looked at the young kit, she reminded me; of myself when I was young, abandoned, alone with no one to care for me. Perhaps this kit would bring back the Alpha I once respected.

I agreed to care for the kit and returned to the clan's camp, one of the younger males ratted me out about letting them live and leave. The Alpha growled upon my return and lashed his claw across my cheek, "What is the meaning of this?" he asked, I looked into his eyes, I had hidden the kit safely behind me wrapped in my tail for comfort, "You said get rid of them… you never said kill them… they were to weak to be taken as a challenge to your title Alpha." I assured him he growled and knocked me down I yelped as I let go of the kit, he growled, "Then what is this?" He snarled, "A runt?" His eye twitched as he slowly turned to me, "No kits that aren't mine… especially runts; get rid of It." he ordered. "No." I spoke up.

"No…?"


"Excuse me?" he questioned forcing me to look at his face, I flinched, why did I say that? I looked at the kit that was now mewling for warmth, I stood over her gently, "She needs help, and I can't bring myself to let her die out there." I said quietly to him, his ear twitched before he snarled and tackled me down, "How dare you not only disobey me, but turn against me! And for what a kit? If you want kits, you can have our kits, but I will not raise that thing." He protested and then shook his head he grabbed onto my throat and then threw me away roughly, "if you dare disobey me again you'll regret it Idril, no one defies me!" he growled and picked up the kit walking away. "N-No don't!" I gasped and got up meekly, the kit… he would kill it…. I couldn't let him. I snarled and ran after him and pounced at him biting his side. He yowled and dropped the kit before turning on me, "You dare challenge your Alpha?" he asked, I shook with both fear and fury, he was so strong, far stronger then I was but I wouldn't let him harm the kit.

We engaged in a battle to what I assumed would be to the death. The longest and hardest battle of my life, we were neck and neck out for blood. I never in my life fought so hard against him, after everything he did he didn't deserve to call himself an Alpha anymore! I had speed on my side, but it wasn't enough, his raw power was enough to endure my speed until I got tired, then… he got serious. He started moving not only faster but his power it seemed like he was only toying with me before as he picked me up and threw me away with ease. "Is that all you have Idril? I thought I trained you better!" he laughed darkly moving closer, I rolled swirly and slipped under him before kicking him in the side, he yelped and rolled over allowing me to get a few good shots on him before he reached up and grabbed my neck again, was this the end? Honestly I wish it had been the end for me right then. Instead he knocked me around until I passed out.

When I woke up, I was chained down, I never before had seen such things used on others, and the Alpha had saved it for just the right moment. "Idril… for your disgrace, betrayal and for dishonouring not only your alpha but your clan as well…" he said lowly glaring at me, "You will spend the rest of your days forever alone! You will no longer be able to settle down or have a mate. Never will you have kits. Never can you protect anyone you care for, never will you disobey me again." he smirked; he drew some form of runes both around me and on my body, chanting some words of sorts. I couldn't quite understand what exactly he was saying… but then I felt like my body was on fire, I screamed in pain for the whole time he was there… about an hour and then my screams fell silent as he left me there, deep in the cave of the mountains that surrounded the valley.

"Help… is anyone… there?"


No one ever came for me, I was alone for as long as I could remember, and I didn't know how much time passed, if it was night or day anymore. It was so dark and I was so lonely, no one answered my pleads for help. Soon enough I gave up trying to call for help, I gave up on everything, yet every day I woke up to still being their… still being trapped. So long I waited and then one day I managed to get up… and I walked for the first time in years only this time. Nothing stopped me. Nothing was holding me down; I couldn't really feel like I was covered in chains yet I knew there were one on my tail and one on my leg. I was free? But how? Was it all a dream? I walked outside slowly and gasped as I saw the world… everything had changed… what was this place? The trees were all huge, and I didn't really recognize anything.

I walked out slowly, maybe my punishment was finished? Perhaps he would take me back… I wandered towards where I remembered the camp being but nothing was there… it was like the clan had abandoned this place ages ago, like no one had lived here in years. What happened to this place? Had I been in there for longer then I thought? No it couldn't have been that long I would have needed food right? I frowned and wandered away soon enough I found myself looking into a puddle shocked to see I was now see-through… tears came out in long wisps of mist, I wailed loudly… in that cave some time ago… I died. I could have been in there for years and no one knew, no one missed me… the kit, what happened to the kit? I broke down he cursed me! His final words ringing in my ears… he cursed me. No longer could I die, but I was no longer alive either, I was trapped between the two worlds… forever alone.

Forever

t h e // n i c k n a m e
After so many years of being alone locked away, when she was finally free of the cave she found herself to be dead, but trapped forever on the earth. If the Alpha could not have her, no one would. No longer did she feel the right to call herself Idril, instead she took the name Desolation for how she felt. Her warrior heart had perished with her mortal form all because she disobeyed her Alpha, her mate… to help a Kit who she could not save. Desolation deeply regrets her life and her choices; her constant desires of attention usually shattered by those she meets.


i n t e r a c t i o n s
--------- Simba
As an example to how other foxes usually react around her Simba is the perfect fox to start with. Simba is stuck up, bossy and overall believes he is better then the rest, perhaps even Royalty. Desolation met him when he was staring at himself in the waters near the forest she had been staying in. The first fox she had seen in years aside from recently herself.

Re: Delta Velorum Fox #150 - Adopt Me!

Hello, young one. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Come and take a walk with me..?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Image
Who am I? Well...
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXMy name is Ͼαɳҽ.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXBut that is not all that I am...

XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX

Image
Where do I come from? Well now, that is the story, young one...
Shall we start with some history?

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXThe Tribe...

In the age before this one, before the clans
formed, there was only one Tribe.

This tribe held all foxes; no other groups
were allowed to form. We were a strong,
proud, and efficient tribe. Any resistence
was met with instant and fatal
retribution. There could only be One.

This Tribe was led by its strongest and
proudest: the council of leaders.

There was a council made up of ten
foxes who had proven themselves the
most clever, strong and worthy to lead.

Always, the council had ten members.
It was believed that should one or even
two become corrupted, then the rest
could restore balance and peace.

But no one anticipated all ten becoming
corrupted...


XXXXXXXXXXThe Trials...
Now, as you might have expected, we had
a rite of passage for all young foxes
entering adulthood. This rite was called
The Trials.

The Trials were held in a deep depression
in the earth which legend told was scooped
out by our giant ancestors. This was called
the Pit of Trials.

Originally, The Trials were simply a show of
strength, courage, and cleverness to prove
your worthiness of becoming a full adult
member of the Tribe.

They could be difficult or simply ceremonial
as the whim of the leaders of the time
mandated.


That is, until it was our turn...XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
My sister and I were born in a different era. An
era of fear and sudden disappearances...

However, growing up, the fear and deaths
were a part of our daily lives. Knowing
nothing different, we were able to be
relatively happy.

My sister was the clever one. She was always
finding new ways to go about her tasks. I was
a little jealous of her, as my skills had more to
do with muscle and boldness.

For some reason, the leaders didn't like her all
that much, though...

Then our trials came.

The rules had always been simple: do as your
leader tells you.

We, about ten young foxes total, padded our
way into the depths of the Pit of Trials.

Some of us were nervous: it was tradition for
a few foxes never to return alive from The
Trials.

But I was excited, ready to prove at any cost
that I was worthy. Though not as clever as
Ableyenna, my sister, I was easily considered
the greatest warrior of the teens entering The
Trials that season.

We faced the opponents assigned to us. I
turned to face my sister.

Then we listened to our instructions. Mine
were simple:

"Kill her."

This did not come as a surprise to me, it was
rather common to have a fight to the death in
The Trials. Perhaps you will hate me when I
tell you I greatly anticipated the challenge.
But I had figured our chances were pretty
evenly matched and it was a possibility we had
both prepared for.

"Ready, brother?" Ableyenna asked, grinning
confidently.

In response, I attacked.

Unfortunately, I was no match for her skills.
She knew me far to well and I was stuck in my
usual straightforward strategy. She pinned me
to the earth with ease...

And then she waited. No, she gloated! I glared
up at her, and she grinned down at me in the
most infuriating way. Mentally I was snarling
at her to finish it, like a noble warrior. But she
did not. It never occurred to me how unusual
it was for Ableyenna to hold back, ever.

Instead, I lost patience.

"You took too long enjoying your victory,
sister." I snarled.

I craned my neck forward powerfully and sunk
my fangs into her throat. I then simply twisted
my own neck to the side, both throwing her off
of me and tearing her flesh. Trust me when I
tell you that my strength was never one to be
trifled with.

I felt and tasted her blood as I stood, victorious!

I looked down, down into her eyes which shall
haunt my soul longer than I shall haunt the
earth.

"We were... supposed to..." she struggled with
speech, her words gargled with her own blood,

"Disarm... only... disarm..."

And the light went out of her eyes. It was then
that I understood what she was saying. What's
more, I understood what had happened. I had
wondered why her leader seemed to be giving
her further instructions. I had resented it then,
as I had resented the fact that she was cleverer
than I was, thinking she was being given the
advantage over me.

Now I understood that her leader must have
been instructing, insisting, that she must only
disarm me, pin me to the ground. Perhaps he
had even instructed her how to do this so that
I would have my head free, free to deal the
death blow she had never been expecting.

Now I understood: the leaders wanted her dead
because she was clever.

And now the revelations poured into my
consciousness: the disappearances were
generally of those who were becoming too
smart to keep around. Only the strongest were
surviving the trials; the strongest, not the
smartest. The leaders were annihilating any
resistance to their regime.

And I had been used to kill my sister, who was a
threat to their rule...

I cannot describe to you what happened then for
I was still drowning in my sister's eyes, reflecting
pain, despair and betrayal. And reflecting me:
standing with her life blood still dripping from my
jaws.

A Witness' Tale
I cannot tell you what happened next
in my own words, for my memory will
take me only to the moment that I
needlessly murdered my sister. The
rest is too painful for me to recall.

However, I was present when a
witness explained to my future mate-
yes, I shall tell you about her in a bit-
but he explained to her what he saw
and heard.

He had been a guard, set at the
entrance to the pit to ensure no
cowards escaped alive from the trials.

He heard whimpers, barks, death cries,
but at first they were no more than the
usual Trials cacophony.

"Then," he said to my mate in a voice
that echoed with his original awestruck
terror, "the noises changed...

"There were... Screams," he seemed to
stumble for the right words to describe
the horrors he heard, "yeah, but they
weren't no ordinary fox yelps; only from
one fox as far as I could hear. I don't
know what kind of pain to rip that kind
of noise out of any living creature...

"And then there was..." his voice faded
and I could almost hear him shudder. I
shuddered too, as if listening to a tale
about a different fox.

"Then there was death," he said, in a
voice so quiet I could barely
understand him, "that's all I can
describe it as. The noises that came
from that pit were like those of
demons being tortured by some
ancient supernatural being. And the
smell... So much blood smell, so
much death..."

He didn't speak again until my mate
urged him to tell her what happened
next.

"I ran!" he had snapped at her and for
a moment I thought he had turned
hostile, but I settled down as I
realized that he was caught up again
with the fear he had felt, "I ran, but
I did look back..."

The was a brief silence.

"I ain't never gonna forget it," he
murmured, sounding lost in the
memory, "a fox, fur dripping with
blood, plastered down with it,
looking as if it walked on dead
paws.

"I was certain it weren't no real
fox," the todd continued, terror
choking his voice again, "I don't
know what it was, but no real,
living fox could have killed like
that!"

My mate helped the old todd
calm down and gave him
something to eat before sending
him on his way.

I pretended I had been asleep and
my mate never mentioned the
incident to me or questioned me.

Nonetheless, I still remember it,
still remember the feeling of cold
entering my bones as I realized that
it must have been I who was the
unnatural fox that stumbled from the
depths of the pit, the only one to
return alive.

Image
I know what you're wondering... How did I die?
It wasn't pleasant.

But first you shall know what happened after I returned from the pit.
I'll be honest, my memory on how I physically escaped that wretched place is as blank as my memory of the massacre I committed within it.
My memory returns when I awoke in the old healer's den, the ancient vixen scrutinizing me with an odd, suspicious, thoughtful look. I was told that I was found nearly dead from multiple near fatal wounds and that I was lucky to be alive. For a longer time than you would think, I could not remember what had happened at all. All that I knew was what I had been told: something went wrong at the trials, the Tribe had disbanded and I was alone in the world except for two others of my fellow tribe members.
One was the old vixen who bandaged my wounds and helped me to heal. She soon left once I was fully recovered.
The other was a much younger vixen. She had been a friend, a little older than I as she had gone through the trials herself already. She, despite the ominous condition she found me in, remained by my side throughout my recovery, helping all she could. She also stayed with me after my recovery and eventually she became my mate. She was the love of my life and together we had many kits, none of whom inherited my distinctive features. I suppose my sister and I were to be the last foxes to have the long tail and the small ears. It is a shame...
However, in many ways my life was a very good one. Not much happened to my mate and I. But I was always restless. I always felt as though I were being watched by malicious eyes. I was right...
Well, over time I grew old, as did my mate. We both lived to a fairly old age and in fact, my death came at the proper time that it should have.
I was lying in my den, ready for death to come, but not expecting the form which it took.
Suddenly, I was surrounded by grotesque shapes: snarling, ancient creatures; the rotting corpses of the leaders whom I righteously slaughtered years ago. They hovered there, looking down on my old body, the menace in their eyes the only thing giving them life, a life that continued on for hatred's sake alone. For a moment they just... hovered.
And then they attacked.
I will not tell you what kinds of mutilations they inflicted upon my body for no fox ever saw it. My mate returned to find smears of blood marking a path that trailed off, but heading towards the pit where it had all started.


Image
Ah, finally, we come to why I am here... With you...
Image
A great evil is arising; I can feel it in the very center of my essence and a hero must rise up with it in order to balance the forces at play. I have been sent from the pit where my soul was originally chained in order to guard the cursed place from ever being discovered by any mortal fox. The demons that haunt that place make it impossible for any living fox to survive down there now. But I have come, my chains loosened just for today, to find a champion for the innocent who cannot stand for themselves. That champion is you.
The fates chose me during my time in order to bring justice, albeit in a violent manner, back into our world. Now the fates choose you. But yours is not to be a bloody victory to annihilate the imbalance. You shall bring peace where I brought chaos.
I shall come to you in your dreams, as I have this night, and I shall train you in the ways of my sister, to use your wits and your stealth, and myself, to use your strength and your courage. You shall be endowed with the best of our skills and with them, you shall be great; you shall be what I never truly was.
I was once a proud warrior, but you shall be a warrior to be proud of.

bump
So full of hate were our eyes
That none of us could see
Our war would yield countless dead
But never victory
So let us cast arms aside
And like discard our wrath
Thou, in faith, will keep us safe
Whilst we find the path
