Hmmmmmmmmm Yummeh, Yummeh Carnage for the Wolf Alpha... link above directs you to the lovely story of which leads up to this particular image and ending.

Anyone is free to interact with her here, or on the story page itself. If you see the image, please view the story as well because it will help to understand things she might say (Namely about two particular names, Ranath and Tompael)

I would like to Apologize in Advance to those that wish to meet her IN forest... I don't get much time on the computer (my mothers that is) and when I do get online it's rather late in the evening (10pm CST for me), it is likely easier for you to meet her in Roleplaying Situations.

Ryuu wandered around the

Ryuu wandered around the birch, just watching the birds fly from one tree to another. The dragon deer noticed they were unusually silent, as if a hawk were nearby. He hadn't seen or heard any hawks so he smelled instead. Fresh blood. He managed to pinpoint the general location of it's source, but the long grass concealed the she-wolf laying there. He almost walked right onto her before truly realizing what was there.

He "whiskered" the bleeding alpha cautiously.

Blood. The scent infiltrated her very being, causing her eyes to roll back briefly, very much like those of some seduced shark. She licked her chops before attempting to shake herself free of the thoughts that came to mind. She did not like this. She did not like being like this, but what choice did a turned deer like herself have?

...There was no harm in a quick investigation, though, right?

One foot in front of the other, she made quick work of the distance between herself and the fallen one. Her feet were curious, hooves split four ways like misshapen paws. It wasn't long before she found herself stepping in similar prints. Her pace slowed. Her yellow eyes widened.

"What is this?"
Graveyard's picture

@Okami: Something had touched

@Okami:
Something had touched her frame... having been laying for awhile... the she-wolf brought open those golden eyes and went to find had touched her... not much in general terms of strength to get to her feet... and with the limited vision due to the high grass it was hard to find what it was. Her tail flicked some as she growled some... slightly in a manner to defend herself... or scare whatever it was off, the fear of whatever it was that poked her being a predator or scavenger running in her head. Though it didn't seem this was as such... and after a few moments the she-wolf willed her head up to see the strange thing... before she slumped it back down again, huffing out a heavy breath and sound.

----

@Scythe:
Her form hadn't moved since she had collapsed... eyes closed... resting... heavy fur rising with each slow breath. Amadalia was resting... regaining strength lost from her attack and from the running previously done. Nothing was familiar in this place, scents... nothing... and it was a bit startling to be in a new territory that she had no idea about. One of those large ears swiveled towards the sounds... towards the voice when it spoke and golden eyes cracked open and that weak head came up and looked at the other creature before it slumped back down to the ground with a huff... a thin groan coming out of the Alpha as she stayed where she was... not making any motions to speak yet... even though she likely could.

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Scythe's picture

Manako paused as that heavy

Manako paused as that heavy head lifted, but regained her confidence as it fell to the earth once more. She snorted at the air briefly before lowering her muzzle to the other creature's side, trying to figure out just exactly what she was. She smelled like a wolf.

"You aren't a deer... You're more like him. More like me."

Did that make her any less of a meal? Perhaps it did, for Manako took a seat instead of a bite.

"Can you speak?"
Graveyard's picture

Those ears carefully shifted

Those ears carefully shifted to listen to the voice as it spoke... a thin growl coming from Amadalia before she dug those thick claws into the ground and tried to force herself to those feet. It was a struggle and the she-wolf gave up on the attempt after a few failed attempts. Grunting out and huffing out another breath before those golden eyes fell to the other creature... a canine but not fully.

Her ears flicked some more before laying back softly against her head... shifting the Alpha growled again before shifting "More like you?"

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Scythe's picture

"You're not a deer, and

"You're not a deer, and there's no way that you could pass off those as hooves," she bowed her head ever so slightly, gesturing towards Amadalia's paws. "You look and smell like a wolf." She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. Her statement carried the tone of a confident question.
Graveyard's picture

"Why would I try and look

"Why would I try and look like a deer? Those a prey..." A snort... the canine working on sitting herself up as she hissed in pain and growled out deeply due to the wounds on her frame, those golden eyes looking at the female beside her... sniffing the air... new scents... all of this was different... strange... "You are telling me that you are not a wolf?"

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Scythe's picture

Perhaps Manako had forgotten

Perhaps Manako had forgotten what it was like to be a deer, for she was so quick to categorize and name call. "Then you'll love it here," she scoffed quietly as she crossed one forelimb over the other. Renoir had taught her well.

She fumbled with the second question for a moment. It had caught her off guard like some hare that had gotten a head start. "Not exactly... I'm what you'd consider prey turned predator." She paused, looking the other over once more. "It would probably be in your best interest to rest, so the tables don't turn for you."

"Now that I know that you can speak, do you have a name?"
Graveyard's picture

"And you would try and eat

"And you would try and eat me?" A thick snort came from the canine as she laid there, tail wrapping around her body as she licked her bleeding jaws and closed those golden eyes. Prey turned predator... she shifted some... ears rolling around and listening to everything that came around. Carefully... cautiously... she was out of her territory... chased from it really.

"Since you are... so kind... Amadalia Banesblood... Alpha... of my pack..." Or at least she hoped so... the way they attacked her... tore into her... she doubted she was the 'Alpha' of anything now. But still, she held that title with pride and wasn't going to easily throw it away.

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

Ryuu flinched back his

Ryuu flinched back his whiskers as she growled, but not because of the growl itself. Scanty visions had flashed through his mind, visions of the alpha before him being surround and attacked... Her flight... And now here she was. When she had lifted her head, Ryuu tilted his in curiosity, then a slight inhalation as she collapsed again. He examined at her head a moment, noticing it wasn't all that different looking from his own, although hers was much more obviously fierce and predatory.

"Need some help, Alpha?"

His tone was rather plain, but sincere in interest.

(I apologize for the delay. I

(I apologize for the delay. I flat out crashed last night after work. ^^; )

"Let's say that my original intentions have since then changed. I try my best to stray from cannibalism... Easier said than done, I suppose," she mused aloud. She no longer fit into any clean category.

"An alpha? Then where is your pack?"
Graveyard's picture

Fffffffff Delays all around!

Fffffffff Delays all around! I've been busy working on images of Ranath and now working on one of Tomrael >3> So busy, busy on my side of things~ So no worries on delays Scythe <333333

@Okami: "And you would help me?" The she-wolf muttered out... working on trying to get herself in a slightly upright position. Once that was accomplished she sighed deeply, ears twisting around and listening... constantly taking in all the sounds that came around. Her nose taking in the scents around that weren't her own blood and the scent of her packs attack.

Those golden eyes shifted to him for a moment, looking the... strange male over as she sighed deeply again... she was, technically, at his mercy "Where am I? And who or what are you..."

@Scythe: "Your guess is as good as mine..." The she-wolf wasn't going to truly say she'd been run out... that pride wouldn't allow for it. Then again, what use did she have keeping anything hidden, this... female... could likely know she wasn't saying everything. Closing those golden eyes, she gently crossed her paws over each other... a wince coming when the injured one was slipped to the top "I was run out... something or someone within turned them against me... likely Tomrael... we were moving from our lands due to the herds moving."

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"

Instead of answering

Instead of answering immediately, he watched the wolf creature examine her surroundings with curiosity. When her golden eyes came back to him, Ryuu tilted his head ever so slightly as she took her turn to examine him.

He nodded when she had finished. "Yes, I could help with those wounds, if you want. Looks like you've lost a lot of blood already. And as to where you are, this place is usually referred to as the Endless Forest. My name's Ryuu."

He chuckled a bit before adding, "I suppose you haven't seen a dragon before? Though I'm not all dragon, I suppose..."

He smiled gently, despite the obvious underlying vibe of anxiety the Alpha was exuding.
Graveyard's picture

Those ears swirled around,

Those ears swirled around, listening to him and taking in the things he said? Endless Forest? Where the hell was that? She didn't recall her territory being near something titled as such, and that was even more confusing than what he said next. Dragons, yes... she'd heard of them. Seen one? That was another question... dragons within the forest that she dwelled in was... never something that happened frequently.

Shaking her head some... the canine winced... and sighed, she supposed... it would be nice to have the wounds tended to. Her back and throat mainly. The little things wouldn't set her back too far and they would heal within a few days "And why would you heal something like me?"

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Scythe's picture

"So they overthrew you." It

"So they overthrew you." It was hardly a question, but rather her attempt at wrapping her mind around what may have happened. It was rare for Manako to sit down with anyone, nevermind a complete stranger, but something about this Amadalia intrigued her. "What are you going to do now?"
OkamiLugia's picture

A casual shrug, "Let's just

A casual shrug, "Let's just say I have a gift for seeing under the surface. And..." A pause, then a grin, "Why leave you to suffer, huh? That would be kinda rude!"

Though he hadn't seen much other than the visions of her being driven out of her pack, Ryuu knew he was the type to go out on a limb, despite outward appearances. Maybe the fact she had been driven out would make him think maybe she wasn't to be trusted, but Ryuu knew this was more often than not just a part of the natural order of creatures like this Alpha.

If worse came to worse, he could handle himself.

@Scythe: A snort was the

@Scythe: A snort was the reply to the way the other she-wolf spoke... those golden eyes looking at her with a bit of an annoyed look... she wasn't overthrown... no... she was betrayed. By one that she held close as a trusted friend. Sighing deeply she shook her head "Not overthrown... betrayed..." Amadalia mumbled out before shifting on her legs trying to get comfortable "Try and find my way back... and rip out the heart of the damned cat that decided to play a part in my betrayal..." She let out, in regards to the question asked.

@Okami: "You certainly are not like me..." The canine let out with a soft chuckle and a sigh, rude to leave her injured and sulking in her own wounds and misery? That was an amusing thought to be honest... an interesting one at that. She didn't seem the type to warrant any kindness or help, yet this strange creature was offering it to her. Amadalia mused some to herself and sighed again "If you are debating whether you can trust me or not... I was betrayed by my pack... which is the reason for my being here..."

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
OkamiLugia's picture

"Then... If I may? I can

"Then... If I may? I can close up any open wounds, lessen the pain."

As if to answer her questioning of his trust, he sat down next to her, looking into her eyes. Any distrust would only come when she was physically fit, anyway. When it came to most others, he would heal without spoken consent, but something about this wolf told him she would probably appreciate being asked for permission. She had been an alpha, after all.
Graveyard's picture

"The... more serious ones you

"The... more serious ones you can tend to... the little bites and scratches are nothing that cannot heal within a few days..." Her reply was smooth, simple... and quite to the point of certain things... she didn't seem to mind that he wasn't completely going into things. In fact, she liked that he didn't completely avoid questions and hop into just healing her.

Such a thing was rare with strange beasts who knew nothing of her or anything else about things such as herself. Sometimes she didn't mind having business poked into, though she hated the mischief certain things from her home territory caused. A gentle sound came from her before she laid her head back down on her paws "Most would just cause mischief and trouble... you're different..."

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
OkamiLugia's picture

He nodded at her permission,

He nodded at her permission, and as he began to heal, he let out a little laugh. "Haha, I like to cause mischief and trouble with those I am familiar with. It's no fun with a stranger who doesn't appreciate it, in my opinion."

A green fire was slowly pouring out of his mouth and nostrils as he worked, not stopping when he spoke. It moved over and covered what he thought were the "more serious" wounds. He could understand if she didn't want to be healed as much as possible. One could say it's like cheating nature.
Graveyard's picture

A gentle sound came from the

A gentle sound came from the she-wolf as she watched him work... strange things...but she didn't mind as that pain slowly dwindled away from her throat and towards the small of her back. A soft sigh as she let those golden eyes of hers slowly close to relax... letting him work until he was done. There wasn't much that seemed serious, though the many knicks, bruises and cuts along her body were fairly mundane compared to the injuries on that pretty neck of hers and where her back was.

"I wish you'd have been around to tell the Fauns that when they decide to play around with my pack... nasty little devils..." Amadalia snorted, maybe that was a bonus to being away from her homelands... she didn't have to deal with those pesky creatures anymore. But... she was likely to have to still deal with such things here either way... no place was without it's mischief makers.

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
OkamiLugia's picture

He simply made an amused hum

He simply made an amused hum at her words, now sealing up the last few wounds he was tending to. The green fire poured much like water rather than rising into the air. As his work was ending, it slowed and trickled, kissing the wounds before falling into nothingness. He sensed the relief coming from her. She had done a good job to disguise the pain.

"There, that should do it. If you like like me to heal up anything else, feel free to ask."

He shifted into a more relaxed position, leaning on his side, strangely cat-like as he crossed his front hooves together, letting his back legs stretch out behind him.

"I s'pose it goes without saying I can show you around this place, or at least give you verbally an idea of where things are. I'm sure you're thirsty." He nodded towards something in the distance, "Not sure if you can see the statues over there, but from those you can see the pond." A slight chuckle, "I don't exactly recommend the magic fountain right over here unless you want to end turning into up a crow and seeing magical rainbows and floating goldfish."

It was just something of how

It was just something of how she was really, her mind... her body... it was trained well in hiding the pains that she would feel. Especially with what she was, werewolves and those of her pack had to be trained and knowledge in how to contain their bloodlustful nature... and how to control their shifts. She was one of the best at it, Ranath... and Tomrael right behind her.

Those golden eyes would follow his speech, her tail lazily flipping up behind her as she watched him. A puzzled look came on her face at the last thing he mentioned "Magical Rainbows and Floating Goldfish? Are you sure whoever goes there doesn't just get drunk from whatever they drink?" She let out, really... she only heard of such things when someone was completely plastered from a heavy drinking binge.

"It would be nice just to have a walk around... if I can walk and get a feel I'll be more... happy."

"Your efforts are insignificant! I carry you to your deaths!"
Scythe's picture

"Being overthrown and being

"Being overthrown and being betrayed aren't all that entirely different," she continued. However, in all honesty, she meant no harm. "In any event, you will need your strength should you go after this...cat." Teeth came together with a distinct click of sorts. "It probably wouldn't hurt to establish yourself here as well. Can you stand?"

@Scythe: "Hmmmm yes, but if

@Scythe: "Hmmmm yes, but if there are still those in my pack that... wish for me to be the leader then I can still garnish my rank... and Ranath would fight tooth and claw to see me return as Alpha..." The she-wolf sighed out deeply at the mention of the other, she missed him... he was one of the most loyal, aside from the pups that followed behind her like love struck babes.

At the mention of things, Amadalia chuckled some at her tone when it was taken with the feline... she was amused by it. Dogs and cats rarely ever got along, but within her pack she had two cats and they didn't seem to bother anyone "Establishment here wouldn't be bad... though I don't want to make an impact if I am not to stay..." Another muse to her words before she carefully propped her feet under herself and got up to those legs sighing some looking at the injured paw "I suppose I'll be fine... just have a limp for a bit..."

@CW: Feel free to interact if you want ^^ I'm actually getting around to coloring this (Along with the majority of my Amadalia art) XD

Ryuu shrugged. "Perhaps. But

Ryuu shrugged. "Perhaps. But sometimes I see strange things just being near the fountain itself. Maybe you'll want to see it for yourself, after all?"

He chuckled a little bit, then stretched one more time before heaving himself up to stand. He looked down at the Alpha, but in a way that conveyed his neutrality and respect. "Yeah, I bet you're restless. I can accompany you, if you want. I would understand if you'd rather be alone though."


Edit: Finally lol too bad it's short and lame xD

"Perhaps I might, if I decide to run through the forest and explore... I might as well get a feel for everything. Even if it's a strange thing that does weird things..." The Alpha chuckled and those golden eyes watched him carefully.

"Company is better than being alone... I'm a pack animal after all."
