Cassius and Nychta collab

Stryder said
The wind howled softly in the forest, a small group of deer had been along the trail, a large wolf trailed the small herd. Stalking them until they got to the forest clearing, the wolf rushed toward the deer with unnatural speed that would rival Hermes himself. One by one each deer seemed to have fallen down and died but upon closer inspection their throats were all torn open. Cassius, the god of war had led the deer to their fate, it was unfortunate for them that he was hungry, the wolf simply lied down in wait. He knew a wolf would pick up this scent and possibly it'd be a lone wolf.

Minarawr said
Nychta was trotting through the woods, the wind blowing through her soft, pitch black fur. The wind blew a certain scent into her nose; the fresh scent of blood. Her stomach growled slightly, she had been hungry for a while now, but hadn't found the time to hunt. As she approached the scent she froze a bit hesitantly. It wasn't a single deer as she had expected, it was an entire group of deer, all killed by a basic torn throat. She sniffed the air to pick up the scent of a predator, but couldn't sniff anything out. She slowly made her way to the deer, her stomach too empty to resist,

Stryder said
Cassius raised his nose to the air momentarily and picked up a scent in between the smell of blood. He turned to see a female wolf, he was actually surprised that it was female lone wolf of all things, he picked up the deer in his teeth with ease and brought it to her, setting it down in front of her. He easily towered over her, trying to gain a pack mate wasn't in his favor since he was very menacing in size and stature.

Minarawr said
The arrival of the massive white wolf made Nychta freeze lightly, her fur standing up a bit. She hadn't picked up his scent, most likely because the wind came from her back. She stayed ready to react if he attacked her, and was surprised when he placed one of the deer in front of her. She stayed still and waited for any reaction, her stomach still growling in the sight and scent of the food.

Stryder said
Cassius looked at her, he wondered why she hadn't taken the deer yet, maybe she thought he was just showing his kill. He pushed his nose against the deer carcass, prodding it in her direction. "It is yours..." He spoke to her, his tone sounding happy, he hoped she'd accept his offering. He could plainly hear how her stomach growled, she was indeed a lone wolf, she hadn't eaten properly or at all for a while it seemed. He lied down on the grass and waited for her, maybe if he sat down and looked less menacing she'd take it.

Minarawr said
He offered her the deer again, but she didn't trust it. Did he want to distract her before attacking? His voice didn't sound all too menacing, at least not as menacing as his appearance was. When he lay down on the grass she moved towards the deer a bit and sunk her teeth into it. She wasn't strong enough to move it on her own strength, so she used the shadows at the edge of the deer to pull it along, without him noticing he used her ability; she didn't need him to know of her powers. She started eating hastily, wolfing the meat down hungrily and licking her lips delighted.(Off to bed, unfortunately. I'll be back tomorrow doll ;3 Goodnight)

Stryder said
Cassius watched her as she began to look at the deer, he wondered what she could be thinking. Maybe she was pondering whether he was a threat or not, had he wanted to cause her pain he would have done so the moment he saw her. He watched her bite into the dear when he sat down, he was sure that his appearance was frightening but he didn't think it was that bad. He tilted his head to the side when he saw her move the deer, was he seeing that right though? She looked to have been starving for a week or two, she was either stronger than she looked or she had power of some sort. He had a wolfish grin on his face when he saw how she seemed to enjoy the deer, he trotted off toward the deer pile and brought her another before sitting down.

Minarawr said
Nychta ate the flesh with a blissful delight, her eyes gleaming hungrily and her jaws tearing through bone, flesh and tendons easily as she tried to eat as much as she possibly could. She froze again when he neared her, cautious as always, but relaxed a bit again when he simply placed another deer in front of her. She could probably take him with her power, even if he was this size, but she couldn't risk getting hurt in her weakened state. Thereby, she had no idea if he was a wolf or a normal one, and she didn't want to take the risk. All she could do was hope he meant no harm and eat her fill to regain some strength.

Stryder said
Cassius watched her as she ate her meal, rather hungrily at that, it was quite a sight. He remembered being hungry like that when he was abandoned, he didn't know how to hunt on his own and was forced to learn on his own. The growling of his stomach once gave away his position and left him starving for weeks, he saw how the deer was being finished so quickly, he ran over with unnatural speed and grabbed the two remaining deer in his jaws, easily bringing them to the female. He picked up the scent of wolves, not of his pack, these ones didn't seem to be like him, they would have rushed him at an instant but they were cautious like they knew and didn't care. They began to advance toward him and his new acquaintance, he turned around and stood over her, his body easily over hers, he snarled dangerously at the males and females. "I'll keep you safe.." He said to her.

Minarawr said
Nychta was a bit more relaxed when the wolf brought the two other deer her way. He seemed to mean no harm, she had noticed that by now. Her relaxed demeanor vanished when she picked up the scent of other wolves heading their way, and they were quickly in sight. She blinked when the shadow of the massive wolf suddenly slipped over her and he towered over her.

Stryder said
As the wolves advanced toward him, Cassius snarled defensively at them before finally lashing out, in burst of speed that was unnatural in every way. The rival wolf gave out a yelp before struggling and finally dying, Cassius had him by the throat, biting down forcefully. He growled dangerously toward the others that tried to focus on the female wolf, grabbing one by its hind leg and snapping it in his jaws, causing loud pained yelps. He positioned himself over the female once more, barking at them as to warn them of his power. The wolves seemed to back off more a moment, as if to weigh their options, finally though they departed into the first from which they came. "Are you alright?" Cassius asked the female.

Minarawr said
Nychta was amazed at the large white wolf's actions. He was protecting her, while they just met. It was behavior unlike any she had ever seen, certainly for a fellow wolf. Their entire mindset was suspicious, why would this one be different?He seemed to prove he was though, killing one of the wolves and crippling another before the wolves finally backed off. She looked at him weirdly, cocking her head. 'Fine.... Why'd you do that..?' she asked.

Stryder said
Cassius looked under himself and down at her, he was going to be honest to her, he was hoping that a.lone wolf had found the deer, maybe he'd have a pack mate. "I know what it's like to be alone like you...I had to do something, whether or not you would come to the kill wasn't up to me.." He said to her.

Minarawr said
Nychta looked at him weirdly. He wanted a pack mate? It sounded like it, though it still didn't seem normal to her. 'Then why... that.' she gestured at the corpse of the wolf he had just killed.

Stryder said
Cassius looked over toward the deceased wolf before turning back to her. "I wanted to defend you, I thought maybe I could gain a pack mate in you..." He spoke honestly, he wasn't going tot be evasive about it.

Minarawr said
'Pack mate?' she asked. She had quite liked traveling by herself, but having somebody to look out for her and help her in hunts would be nice. She was usually too tired to hunt during the day and at night it was much harder to catch a deer. 'Do you have a pack already?' she asked.

Stryder said
Cassius gave nod when she restated what he had asked of her, to be his pack mate. Maybe a wolf like her would agree, having someone by her side would be nice, someone to help her hunt, someone to watch out for her. He'd answer her question honestly, he hadn't been apart of a pack in such a long time, his old one abandoned him. "No, I do not.." He said to her.

Minarawr said
Nychta looked at him a bit weird. He had some serious guts if he wanted to attract wolves to join his pack by slaughtering deer. He could probably take on aggressive opponents, she knew he would be a good companion. She got on her feet and looked at him. 'Very well, I'll join you. I won't take orders though, I don't take orders from anybody.' she said.

Stryder said
Cassius looked at her for a moment after she agreed, he knew this would be difficult, maybe through time she'd come to following orders. "Very well then..." He said in agreement, still though it slightly bothered him that she wasn't willing to take orders. Still though, something was on his mind about the female but he was trying to hide it, arousing suspicion wasn't a good idea.

Minarawr said
Nychta nodded as he agreed to her terms, then got on her feet lightly. 'Either way, my name is Nychta. You?' she asked.(lol, just remembered my char was named Nychta, not Mina, gonna edit it xD)

Stryder said
Cassius was glad to learn of her name, his tail wagging slightly at the sound of it, it was an interestingly beautiful name to say the least. "I am Cassius...." He said, bowing in a respective manner toward her. "Would you like to accompany me on the journey to my den?" He asked, his den was a very large cave that had been made by him actually, it seemed to be intricate as well, skins were covering the ground to provide comfort and warmth at times. There were even lower levels of the cave, allowing him to to retreat into a deeper area when a winter too harsh for even him rolled in.

Minarawr said
Nychta allowed herself to take in the stranger's name well before nodding. 'Cassius it is.' she stated. Noting his slight wag caused her to chuckle softly, though she slightly bowed her head nonetheless. 'A den? That would be best, I suppose.' she stated. She was still somewhat nervous, but decided to go along either way. Up until now the stranger had only treated her well after all. She nodded again and allowed him to lead the way.

Stryder said
Cassius slowed down the swaying of his tail when she had taken notice. He began walk slowly as he led her through the forest, he wanted to ask her if she was like him but this was not the place to do so. After a long while of walking he finally got her to the den, his home, he walked into the large cave and lied down. "May I ask a question?" He asked her, wondering if she would allow any questioning from him.

Minarawr said
Nychta remembered to take in every scent she encountered along the way, every recognizable patch of grass or boulder. She wanted to be able to find her way back to where she was in case something happened. Nychta looked around the den he had led her to. It was cozy and big. Large enough to hold a small pack at least. She looked at him as he spoke to her. 'Yes?'

Stryder said
"Do you have any special abilities?" He asked, stressing the word special so she'd understand what he meant, assuming she did understand to begin with.

Minarawr said
Nychta's eyes narrowed slightly at his question. Had he seen her use her power when she moved that deer? She controlled her urge to send her shadows his way and took on a confused expression. 'Special? Why do you ask?' she asked innocently.

Stryder said
Cassius sighed at the question, he may as well demonstrate his power, he quickly ran out into the forest for a moment and had returned with a fresh kill, a fully grown bull moose. He had his jaws around its side, carrying the large animal with ease before setting it down in front of her. "Because if you are, I am too.." He stated.

Minarawr said
Nychta looked at him confused when he ran off, then blinked when he returned with a full grown moose. 'Super-strength, huh?' she muttered. He was obviously special, as he called it, so she might as well show her own ability. Her shadow reformed and curled up off the ground, curling around a bit. 'Then I am.'

Stryder said
Cassius didn't just have super strength but all of him was strengthened, he was a complete powerhouse of a wolf. He tilted his head to the side when he saw her abilities, shadows, how interesting. "So you are then....how did you become a lone wolf?" He asked her.

Minarawr said
Mina looked at him, sitting down while her shadow sunk back into the ground. 'Abandoned as a pup, picked up by.. a certain somebody.' she stated vaguely. She didn't feel like telling this wolf who her Goddess was, she didn't feel quite comfortable about that yet.

Stryder said
Cassius understood completely, she didn't seem to give up the name of the god or goddess that found her."I see that you have shadows, whoever took you must be a bringer of the night?" He said to her, using his intuition to aide him in his theory.

Minarawr said
Nychta nodded with a satisfied smile. 'Thank you for respecting that.' she stated as a means of trying to be nice.

Stryder said
Cassius gave a slight nod, he was a bit unsure of how to speak with her, he hadn't spoken to another for so long. He walked over to the moose which was directly in front of Nychta, he looked down at her. "May I?" He asked her, wondering if she wanted it, if she did then he would go out to hunt again.

Minarawr said
Nychta nodded and pushed the beast his way with her shadows. 'Go ahead. I ate quite a bit back there.'

Stryder said
Cassius chuckled lightly, agreeing with her notion, he gripped the moose with his jaws and dragged it away. He was now facing the opposite direction of her and tearing into the moose, tearing off large pieces and eating them.

Minarawr said
Nychta took the opportunity to look around the cave. 'This place looks very nice. How did you get it like this?'

Minarawr said
Nychta looked at him surprised, then smiled. Her suspicion about him being a good ally to her was proving to be correct. 'Impressive...' she muttered.

Stryder said
Cassius' tail wagged slightly in reaction to her praise, he had never had a compliment before. "Thank you, as are you..." He said to her.

Minarawr said
Nychta grinned. 'How so?' she asked.

Stryder said
Cassius looked around, he hadn't been prepared for her to ask that, he glanced at her, almost staring for a few seconds. "Uh......your abilities..." He managed to think of her powers last second.

Minarawr said
Nychta nodded a bit and smiled at his reply. 'Ah, well thank you.' she replied. 'I can do more than that, but it isn't the time to show you.' she said.

Stryder said
Cassius raised an eyebrow, a bit curious about her other abilities now, he had a toothed grin now. "Then I can't show you everything I can do either..." He said to her, finishing up with the moose.

Minarawr said
She grinned. 'And when will I see all that then? I can't help but wonder.' she said.

Stryder said
"And all you'll get to do is wonder..." He said with a grin, winking at her playfully, teasing her. Maybe getting along with her wouldn't be so hard after all.

Minarawr said
She looked at him a bit playful. 'You tease.'

Stryder said
Cassius grinned a bit, he was slightly curious about something. "Have you even wanted to become an alpha?" He asked he, a grin still on his face.

Minarawr said
Nychta cocked her head a bit. 'Never been on my mind actually. It's not something I think about I guess.' she smiled faintly. 'Why do you ask?'

Stryder said
"Just wondering, sometimes I think, what if I had been an alpha?" He said to her, he truly did wonder at times, he wondered what type of leader he'd be, how would be viewed by his followers.

Minarawr said
'Well you'd be able to protect every pack member, that's for sure.' Nychta smiled. 'I don't know you well enough to judge your leadership skills.'

Stryder said
"Thank you...." He said to her, smiling a bit, that was true, she didn't know him well enough. "Well perhaps we can get to know one another..." He said to her.

Minarawr said
Nychta nodded a bit, then yawned. It was still midday and she was very tired. 'For now though, would it be alright if I rest a bit?' she asked.

Stryder said
Cassius nodded to her, he didn't need to rest but Nychta would need rest in his opinion. "That would be fine, I'll just keep watch..." He said, turning toward the mouth of the cave, his eyes fixed on the outside.

Minarawr said
Nychta smiled lightly and headed into the deeper part of the cave so she was a bit more in the shadows, then lay down and closed her eyes.(Should we post this in the thread now?)

Dragon princess said
Tryuis looked at him and smiled gently "wow this is amazing" he barked happily wagging his large golden tail and smiled "sure we can play hide and seek i'll go find your first. I'll count to 20" he shut his eyes and started counting

Axton wagged his tail swiftly, accidentally creating powerful gusts of wind, he yelped and quickly stopped. "Thank you.." He smiled happily, his head swaying back and forth as he watched Tyruis' large tail wagging. "Okay, I'll find a place to hide..." He barked happily, running past Tyruis and giggling, he immediately found a large area of snow and jumped inside. :"He'll never find me in here..." His tail was sticking out from the snow as he giggled.

Amalvi said
Bernabe was at the backseat of a taxi she had taken when she arrived at the airport, dressed in a short white dress, more fitting for the warm weather of Elfteria than her office attire, and with her wings hidden behind a special corset that allowed her to sit normally without hurting her back. She was indistinguishable from a twenty-something human girl, except for the absurdly long blonde hair and the luminous halo around her. Because her belongings were being sent directly to the hotel, she had some time to go to see by herself where the Academia was located since she would be visiting it the next day, not minding the fact that it would be closed by that hour in the night.At one point during the travel, she witnessed a bunch of people running panicked from inside a nearby bar, one of them even crashed on the taxi, which promted the driver to shout a string of mundane swearing and angrily press the claxon. The one that hit the taxi, a girl that could be human or maybe an half ling with an elf, hit the windows of the car and said"Someone help please, there is a mad man with a gun in there threatening my friend!"Upon hearing it, Bernabe calmly, but swiftly, walked out of the taxi and after asking where this mad man was she was pointed in the direction of the canteen and told that this man was in the first floor. Forgetting the fact that Elfteria wasn't her jurisdiction and that she was even supposed to be demised of her charge as law enforcer, she stepped into the tavern with the intention of solving the conflict for justice and order. It didn't took long to find the supposed mad man, dressed in what appeared to be a MK 5 Rogue armor and putting a gun inside the mouth of another man pressed against a wall while he was grabbed by his neck. The angel walked through the nervous witnesses, too afraid to act, and she approached the gunner"Stop at once and hand over yourself to justice, or face the consequences of opposing the law!"Some people shouted things among the lines of "What are you doing? You are going to get killed!" But once again, they were too scared to act

(He isn't in his armor at the moment)

Cassius sighed as he looked to the sniveling man, the hammer on the pistol already pulled back and his finger slowly pulling the trigger back before he stopped. Hearing the sound of a female ordering him to stop or face the consequences, what she probably didn't know was that he was a walking death threat. He promptly dropped the man and faced the girl, a small smile across his face. "So what now? You want to take me to jail? He asked, his pistol was still ready to fire so he put it on safety.
