Fox demons Vs Wolf Demons rp.

Aegis stood in back alley and devoured the morself of food that he had stolen. It had been almost two days since his last meal and he needed the nourishment to fight for the princess and her friend. "I owe them for helping me out." Remembering that he had set out to find at least a descent chest piece. His friend that was a black smith might help him but he then recalled that they were no longer on the best of terms with one another. His smile disapated after remembering this bit of depressing information and he then decided to seek armor elsewhere.

The Man in the White Robes lit yet another candle. He was still inside of his large tent, and only a few minutes had passed since the two wounded soldiers had entered and given him the news regarding their failed reconaissance mission. The candles were lit all over the tent, giving off a faint yellow glow.

Even more dead foxes...

As he stood thinking in solace, suddenly there was a commotion from outside of the tent. The robed fox turned just in time to see the front of the tent open up, and a red headed boy enter into the tent.

"-just for a second jesus!" The boy said, as a guard from outside started pulling him outside. The man in robes in the back of the tent stood their, staring unpassively at the two struggling in the doorway. The guard spoke up.

"I'm sorry sir, he just barged in here and demanded to speak with you."

The redheaded kid struggled from within the guard's grasp, and then cartoonishly bit the guards arm. "And I told you pal, he'll want to talk to me!"

The Robed man lifted his hands "No it's alright, he is alright." The guard bowed slightly, and left - but not before giving the teenager a stern look of dissatisfaction. The boy returned the gaze by sticking his own tongue out. The two stood alone in the room, and the robed fox turned his back on the boy.

"So Dek...I believe I already know what you are going to say..."

Dek, the redheaded boy slid his hands in his pockets, and blew his hair up behind his eyes. It was quietly tense inside of the room. Then Dek spoke up.

"Then you probably already know what I think you should do." Dek raised on of his red eyebrows. The robed man just stood quietly, and then exhaled.

"I know you are good at what you do Dek, you have a wonderful charm indeed but...But this is a matter that needs to be solved with force. Your parlour tricks and quick wit are not going to help us at this point." The robed one said, turning back towards Dek, his voice growing a bit sharper.

Dek shrugged. "You know that isn't true...I'm leaving soon to go back. If you send more soldiers then they'll just die. That giant ass wolf will just tear us up...again."

The robed one clenched. "You seem to forget that those were very low-level fighters Dek, even you could have beaten them in a fight."

Dek smirked and pointed over at the robes. "Come on Robes. Let me go. I'd like to meet the chick who can kick our foxes asses." The robed man just stood quietly. "Alright fine. Report back - and I know you'll come back. If this doesn't work, then i'm going to send a military force to take care of that Carbo."

Dek lifted an eyebrow. "Carbo?"

The robed one quieted down again. "The name of the wolf who slayed our troops. Leave now. Before I change my mind."

"you got it doc."

---------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting in the corner next to Champion, Kairi thought back on the past. Back on when the two had merely been children, running on the grounds of the royal house, playing games of tag and of hide and seek. She thought back to the times they had snuck out into the streets of the town, unbeknownst to their parents through the secret opening in the wall just past their treehouse... Wait... "THAT'S IT!!!" She shook Champion just a bit, knowing what they had to do. "Champion, I figured it out! I know how we can get back into the grounds of your old house!"

A ghastly smell filled the air and Aegis was brought to his knees due to his advanced sense of smell. Tears welled up in his eyes as the stench surrounded him. "Did something die?" Aegis walked to back of the alley to find that it was a dead end with two corpses at the end. One was clad in a crude steel armor and the other was in a ratty old leather. Deciding to take protection over speed he removed the dead man's steel armor and placed it on himself. When he attempted to place the helmet on his head, it would not fit so he had to abandon it where the two bodies lay. Now walking on the street where many could see him, he tried to quickly return to where Kairi and Champion were waiting.

~Champ wakes up, blinking~ Do what?

Miki hadn't done anything for a while. It seemed as if there was nothing to do. She hadn't gotten any missions, or seen any foxes nearby. Maybe it was because she didn't go outside her house very often. Miki sighed and plopped down on her couch (in human form).

"Maybe they don't give me a lot of missions because I'm still a novice. Or maybe its because my fur is white." She said cursing the fact that she was born with white fur. "Bah! I should just dye my fur black. It'd be much easier to hide anyways."

She sat up and thought about it for a while. “Maybe I’ll go visit Sky today, just to see if anything interesting happened when I was gone.” She stood up and walked out of her house. Jogging down the steps, she took her wolf form and trotted around the kingdom.

It was a rather hot day, and Miki decided on what she was going to do. She carelessly walked over to an abandoned place, which had a lot of shade, and laid down watching everyone. If they needed her, they would either call for her, which was unlikely, or she would go over to help.

She sighed once more, a pet peeve of hers, and took her human form. She laid on her back and put her right arm beneath her head for a cushion. She blinked as a small leaf fell lightly on her forehead. It was defiantly one of those lazy days.

(Q.Q It's the best I got for now...)

Smack*

Dek grimaced and reached up towards the new scratch on his cheek. He pressed onward and pushed the tree branch from his face. It was morning, and Dek had been trekking through the thick woods, his goal to reach the wolf kingdom before noon. Luckily for him, the fox camp he had walked from was very close to the kingdom, and it wasn't a very long walk. Dek was aiming to do what he did best - negotiate. Dek was going to negotiate with the wolves to cease their attacks on a small fox convoy that would be passing through. The problem was that wolves had quite the temper, and would most likely attack the convoy on sight. The probably believed that the shipment would be filled with military supplies. But it might in fact be filled with medical supplies. Dek didn't actually know - and didn't really care. It was all the same to him. It was just important to let that convoy pass because otherwise more foxes would just have to be killed in the process. And that wouldn't sit well with Dek. After all, his friend berl just lost a brother. If there was one thing that Dek really couldn't stand - it was when his team was losing.

Up ahead of him, the trees broke wide, and the sun was glaring brightly. he had finally reached the exit. He would have arrived sooner, but couldn't take the main road due to Wolf spies and guards. They wouldn't take to seeing a fox very kindly. Dek smiled brightly, and began whistling, heading towards the large stone walls of the kingdom. Not seeing a door, Dek shrugged:

"KNOCK KNOCK!" Dek yelled, his hands cupped over his mouth.

Silence, and then two wolf guards appeared from behind the bulk of the top of the wall. When they saw his red hair, the immediately tensed up, and one guard reached for an arrow to notch in his bow. Quickly, Dek raised his hands

"Woah Woah Hey! Relax blackbacks! I need to talk to the hound in charge here!"

The two guards looked at each other, and nodded. Dek smiled as well "There ya go..."

Two large doors swang open and a small crowd of wolves stood menacingly in the entrance.

"So...are you guys th-" Suddenly a wolf jumped high into the air, and fell down upon Dek, swinging a long thin sword towards Dek's sternum. Dek kneeled downward quickly, and the sword dug into the ground. The wolf quickly reached for a dagger from behind him, and swung at Dek's throat, when suddenly it stopped short. Dek was grabbing the mans arm with a strong grip, and looked up at his assailant.

"Yeah listen, I'm sure you could kick my ass and whatnot, and look pretty sweet in front of your little entourage but please, do me a favor ya jock and call someone higher up. I'm pretty sure that you aren't going to want to just kill a little ol' negotiator like myself now would ya?" Dek began sweet-talking the wolf.

"I mean, let's say you kill me, and you report back to your boss and tell 'em that you killed a weak messenger fox earlier. But you did this without questioning him or listening to what he had to say. Wouldn't your boss want to know?"

the wolf raised an eyebrow, and his gang behind him stirred uneasily. the wolf spoke up "My 'boss' wouldn't mind at all, as long as a filthy fox like you were dead." He pressed harder with his arm, with Dek growing weaker.

"Yeah yeah that wolf pride i get it. But do you seriously believe that? At least let me talk to the guy, you can kill me afterwards." Dek said smiling. A sweatdrop appearing on his brow. The wolf struggled.

"Shut up redcoat! You filthy fox. Why don't you tell me and I'll find out if its important or not?" He said smiling through bared teeth.

Dek smiled back. "Well I can't exactly do that, as its very important information."

The wolf looked angry. Dek smiled as he realized that his words were slowly sinking in. A gangmember from behind stirred "Hey maybe we should just let 'im go" The strong wolf holding Dek let him go. But held the knife closer to his throat. "I'll take you there myself."

"Splendid!" Dek said, and then frowned when his hands were bound behind him. "Hey Come ON! Is this what you call negotiations you damn-" The wolf hit him on the head, and Dek comically fell forward onto his face.

"Okay...i'll be quiet."

At this point, a large crowd had gathered, with many people looking towards the scene in confusion. a Small child looked up to her mother and asked "Who is that man mommy?"

"An idiot dear..."

Patroling morning as night was not a problem for the owl-girl. With wide-open eyes and a smile on her face she sat on a branch high up in a tree. Using the vision given to her by the owl part of her soul, she could see clear and far into any camp that was within sight. She had been doing nothing but observe for the last weeks and she clearly was on the edge of giving up. She had heard of the caravan that were to march trough the wolf terf and if she knew the wolves right it would not cross in peace.

Then again she could not blame them. Out of what seen last night, where the foxes assaulted the wolf by the road it was understandable that the wolves did not trust them. Carbo was a great soldier, probably one of the strongest. Altough he seemed to trust his brute strength and size more than the powerful mind. Close of death he were the luckiest to have Sky assisting him. Without her help the wolves would have lost a great warrior.

That took her thoughts to Sky. Sky was an excellent spy and a terrific scout. She did not lack skills in the way of bloodshredd either, but she had a more noble soul than many others. Sparing those foxes were one of them. Corina held hard to her staff as she climbed a bit higher. Carbo and Sky had disappeared inside her little haunt. Corina may have had a great sight, but see trough walls was something she had yet to learn. She was slowly learning how to read heat from what she looked at, but the talent was far from mastered yet.

Thinking of Sky sure held her thoughts spinning. The next person that appeared in her mind was the one she had recent contact with. None the less than Spirit. The Fox princess connected the thought as Spirit had been providen a picture of her. Spirit was a great general but a long way from being a superior one. He had a lot to learn, like the general of the fox forces. She herself would approach in an entirely different way, but she never involved herself in physical force.

Force. Yes, force. She shook her head as that brought her to another soul of the two kingdoms. Dek. Her mind was soothed by the thought of the man that prefered his mind over muscles. A smile along her face came to stay as she had observed him the past hours. He acted wisely but with a touch of boldness. That was what was needed among both sides and the foxes had the fortune of being blessed with a mentaly gifted mind. Several times Corina winched when she saw the way he was met as he walked into the wolf camp.

Not that it came to any suprise. The wolves always took few chances at all. Nature sure had the cause rolling. The foxes had always been a wise, smart and agile creature even long before the demon form was put into action. The wolves on the other hand had never cared for anything but themselves and the pack that they belonged too. With force and tactical movements the wolves survived trough most situations.

Corina jumped down gracefully from the tree. She always sat in the same tree as the tree were the highest in the forest and had a good view of most camps in the environment. It was funny how she knew so many while so few knew her. Meeting a wolf or a fox along the road they most likely had never even seen her. The end was near for the two kingdoms and if she were to make a change she would have to make herself heard. She believed that she could start by assisting dear Dek when he would try persuade the wolves in letting the caravan pass trough.

In her human form, that was the appearance of a 20 year old girl she walked all the way from her tree, to the wolf front gate. The wolf guards met her with hostility and she smiled gently.

"I am not here to bring or take any pain, fellow members of Gaia- Mother earth!"

She bowed her head and put her arms together. The guards stopped their charge and looked at eachother. She raised her head and looked at them. By the look on their faces they had no idea what to do in this situation. In front of them were a white haired girl, not wolf nor fox. All she had was fancy clothes and a mysterious staff that she held with her left hand. Her clothing was clearly from lands far away and her eyes were larger than the common eyes of any human. She gave them a smile before speaking.

"I know what you are thinking. I asure you that I am not an intrudor. I am here to aid you and the wolven raise. A friend aid another friend in need. I am a friend indeed and you are considered a friend in need. If you do not mind me walking by, I will share a few words with your officers in charge here. Again I know what you are thinking. I am armed and should maybe be considered a thread. Let me comfort you with the fact that this staff has never felt the touch of blood and it is long to come before it ever will. My name is Corina Bleach and I am a bringer of wisdom and peace. Remember my name because you will be hearing a lot of it"

With a smile on her face she walked past the guards that stood armed and ready. They did nothing and she nodded approvingly as they lowered their weapons. She did not know if it was her look or if it was her words that soothed the mind of people. She just knew that she had a good hand with them and that her assistance might be needed for dear Dek. Where he was heading Corina was not sure. Maybe it was the general or maybe he seeked for even higher positions. He was hardly dumb enough to hope to see the ruler of the kingdom so she would take her chances with General Searedfurr. Heading in his direction she paused as her path was crossed by a couple of guards with Dek in the escort. She could not complain at the interesting coincidence as she stepped up behind the guards. She let them walk a few meters before turning 'into their tail' and following wherever they were heading.

While she was at it she could probably pay Sky a visit. Even though the girl probably did not know Corina, Corina knew her. She also knew what danger Carbo was put into but she were going to play her cards wisely. Telling Carbo would most likely be a bad move. He would probably heaten the wolven armies up. Creatures with strength and war experience tended to do that quite often, due the fact that they easily had the people with them. No, telling him about it had larger chances of hastening the upcoming war, than preventing it. She would do what she could to stop the assault on Carbo, but that would be without him knowing. Sky was far more trustable in the matter and maybe she could share the intel with her. Everything was still only a scetch. Who knows? Sky and Carbo are alike in a number of ways. Maybe they will get a thing going and she might be trusted with the information just as little as Carbo himself.

Only time knew. For now, the important thing was to follow Dek and the escort.

Carbo smiled at the woman that had taken so good care of him. "My name is Carbo Silvermane.. It is a pleasure meeting you, miss Silverbane" He grinned at the simularity of their sur-names. Not that it would matter much. "Well, morals, honours or not, I appreciate what you have done for me" He nodded when she added a plate on the table and he walked up to the table that she was setting. She smiled at him as he sat down, and it felt good. He didnt want to get in the way, but she seemed happy to have him there.

"I'm sorry if I'm taking up place or time.." He extended his arm and took some juice from the other side of the table. He watched the food for a while before giving Sky a nod and taking the first bite. Chewing a few moments, he looked back at her. With his mouth half-full he smiled "It's delicious.. Is there anything I can do to repay you for everything you've done?"

" So I've heard, Sir....Silvermane. "

A slight smile played upon her lips, and faded in a moment's notice. She was glad to see him sit at the table, as the meal was well prepared with the vital nutrients the soldier very well needed. not only to heal his injuries, but through the days she knew the soldiers in ranks and on guard had little time to take up a decent meal. This was the least she could do for one who fought on the front line for her kingdom, her rights, her people. In fact, she had the odd desire to do more for the wolf soldier.

As she eyed him from across the table there, she took in his great size and demeanor. He was, indeed, a large wolf. In either form. he easily topped her own height by at least a foot. She gazed at him thoughtfully as she lifted her glass to her lips, tipping it slightly, more so sucking the tangy orange liquid from the cup. It rolled back into her throat, and seem to waken her even more so. Following this she skewed a few bits of egg and ham onto her fork, and slid the food into her mouth, where she daintily chewed; still eying Carbo the whole time.

When his voice ruptured her concentration, she shook head once, and batted her hair out of the way of her deep silver eyes. Repayment... she hadn't even considered this, and somehow found it peculiar he would ask. He was an interesting one. Kind, yet strong. Quite a good balance. This brought her to think of her younger accomplice, Miki. She brought her hand to her brow for a moment, considering this. it was quite early, but the white wolfess had always been an early riser.
Where is that girl, I wonder.
She nodded back up to Carbo then, remembering his inquiries.

" I'm glad you think so. "

She couldn't hide a smile, wrought with a bit of pride as of having her meal complimented.

" No need to repay me...even if there was, today will be a quiet one. I have nearly no errands to run, And I have no missions for the rest of the week. "

As she spoke, she stood and cleared the empty plates, placing them in the sink before rinsing and lightly scrubbing each one. Finishing, she moved back to the table, and with a yawn, propped her elbow on it and placed her head on her hand.

~Champ wakes up, blinking~ Do what?

Kairi smiled from ear to ear. "I figured it out! I can get you back into the royal household and see to it you take charge again! I found a way to get us in completely unnoticed!" She sat back against the wall. "You remember the opening near the old treehouse? The one we used to sneak out through? We can go in through there!"

“What’s going on there?’ Miki said noticing a large crowd near the main gates. Her curiosity got the best of her. She silently walked over the crowd and pushed her way through. She got to the point where she could see, but there were still wolves that got in her way.

“Damn it.” She cursed to herself. She tried standing on her tip toes, and that worked long enough for her to notice that it was a fox.

“What’s that fox doing here?!” She yelled, putting a different tone on the word ‘fox’.

’Was he trying to sneak in and the guards caught him? No. They would’ve killed him the moment they caught that [i]fox. So, who is he, and why didn’t he come with anyone else?”

(Bah! So…short. Q.Q Sowie Quincy)

Kairi shook her head. "Not if we have a distraction. We could find someone in the streets, pay them some cash, and get them to distract the... Oh yeah, they increased security after I was kicked out... Damnit! Well, don't you worry, Champion. We'll get you back into that seat of power, just you wait." She smiled again, ever the optimist.

Aegis walked up with a big smile on his face and stood next to the two females. "I'll create a distraction for the two of you." He watched them both hoping that they would give him a good reaction.

Kairi shook her head. "Champion's right, with all those guards... it'd be suicide... We need a better plan..."

Aegis laughed. "Exactly what do I have left to live for?" He looked not one bit concerned but more like he was ready to take a fall for his new found friends.

Carbo looked at her as she finished the plate and took it away. He too quickly finished his and like her, he took it away and cleaned his up the best he could. He had never been much for dishes, ever. It was almost embaressing that the best he could do was clean a plate, and that was barely. Finishing the dish, he turned around and eyed the girl who now had walked back to the table. She had put her arms and head down the table and looked pretty sleepy. He smiled at her, even though she couldn't see it, as he walked up to the table.

"Listen.. You saved my life, you gave me food and clothes.. You cant expect me to live on like nothing have happened" He grinned and sat down across the table, looking at her with a smile. "No, I think I'll stick around as long as possible.. Within, or out of sight, but you probably wont get rid of me until I've somehow returned the favour" He held his hands together and lowered his head to have it at the same height as hers.
