[glow=orange,2,300]-He laughs. a loud, hollow-sounding laugh.-
Magic, then? Translation human, you came for power. You came to leave something behind and start over again, with a high position than before.
-He looks to Kael for reassurance. He's not going to even waste his time with her if she's not strong enough. He wouldn't even try to initiate her unless he knows she's strong enough to be of use to him.
Kael nods slowly, his solomn eyes un-blinking.
After what seems like a long time, he turns back to the human female.-
You cannot recieve any of my power unless I know how worthy or unworthy you are, scum. -He speaks lowly of her naturally. It was the first step of the 'phasing'.-
Kael. -he says simply, snapping his neck to the side wildly, staring at the bobcat- Take her.
If you survive the night, your name...?
After recieving a 'Tibbs' (i didn't want to wait until the next reply to continue. don't kill me) he continues.-
After you survive the night, Tibbs, you return to me. And we'll see from there...
-Leaving that to that, he turns his back upon the others and dissapears, huge huge body dissapearing slowly, fading into the dark cave-[/glow]

-Tibbs stiffened. If that was what she had to do...it must be hard. But she was up to it...she knew she was. She hoped.
She looked back down at the bobcat, questioning him-
-now that Fire had left, Penter shuffled back down the girl's arm, ruffling his neck feathers and preening a red wing-

-He stares back, unblinking still.-
First things first: you need a new form. You only use your human form in battle. It's easier here to blend in the the others. I'll morph you for now. You'll take whatever shape your inner animal is destined to be.
-With that, he stares at her and she begins to glow. The glow grows and grows finally lifting itself and fading, revealing...-

-...a coyote- ((blah on u namobum XD))
-Tibbs blinked. That had been...odd. She reached up to scratch the back of her head in thought, and leapt back in surprise, for a sandy coloured paw had just flown up to her face. Then she remembered...her inner animal. she wonderred what the hell she was. she pivoted her head on her neck to look at her back, then looked down at her legs. it was a bit difficult to see, but she was pretty sure she was a canine of some sort...for she couldnt retract her claws. She looked to Kael for some sort of clue.-
-Though she couldn't see it, Tibbs' now stood on four tall sandy brown legs. The tan color spread all the way up to her shoulderblades and haunches, then melted into a peppered gray, which in turn extended from right between her dark brown ears to the tip of her tail. Her eyes were deep yellow, and right now there was a look of confusion on her face.-
-Penter had glided from the glowing figure just in time to not fall flat on the floor. He now stood on the ground a bit oddly, and stared at what used to be Tibbs with his wide eyes-

-He smiles. She was almost larger than her. Nice sized, with attractive (though he hates to admit it) markings and a sweet, sly looking face. He knocks these dieas out of his face. She would fit in fine with the others.-
Coyote -He says softly, nodding his approval. And with that, he stands up and starts on his way briskly. They had a lot to cover and not much time to sleep. First, they would visit the evil wolf pack, run by NightBlade.
He starts off walking swiftly, untalking-

-Tibbs cast Penter a glance, and followed the bobcat. She kept her mouth closed. She wouldn't speak unless told to, or unless he spoke to her. She was a bit unsure of walking on four legs, and at first wobbled clumsily along behind him. But after a while she didn't really need to watch her paws, and grew quite fond of having this new smoothe gait. She enjoyed the feeling of it. She was liking this, possibly too much. She was ecstatic. She felt like trying to run, as she had watched packs of coyotes do at night around her many different camps. But she followed Kael, content to go at this pace for now. She wonderred where they were headed.-

-He doesn't speak, he can hear Tibbs's pace quicken, her gait become fluid and graceful. She's a quick learner.
Finally, after about 15 minutes of brisk jogging, they reach the territory of NightBlade's Wolf Pack. He lets out a low growl, letting them know he's here and he has an initiate with him.
Soon, quite a few wolves have made their way towards them. He recognizes Bounty Hunter- the alpha's son with Illusion, his newest and closest friend, Adrian- the husky/wolf hybrid who hadn't been accepted anywhere but here, Arcane- the blind beta male, and several other newer members whom he had never conversed with, as well as some pups who probably hadn't been born last he came here.
He nods to them all and Arcane stares straight at Tibbs strangely as though he sees her, licking his blood red canines excitedly. The very sight of the eerie-looking wolf licking his lips at you is enough to raise the hairs on any's back.-
Tibbs- Hunter, Illusion, Adrian, Arcane... and... -he falters, seeing as he doesn't know the others' names.-

[glow=chocolate,4,300]-A young adult form lingered before the others. Bounty nodded at the introduction, his eyes traveling from the cat to the coyote. A blood red swirled in these eyes; a color that power behind them. Dangerous, evil power. A power the once pure wolf now fed off...-
'This a social call?'
-He asked, with a careless head tilt, and loud snort. A yip from one of the acompanying pups brought his gaze downward...-
'Oh yes. Nyte, Kyara, Devi. Our beta pups. And Koledus, Anya, Terret and Vinny. Our newest council leader's additions...'
-Bounty introduced the 8 month old trio, and then the younger, 4 month old pups. He was babysitting Curse's young ones on account of him being booked with war issues...-[/glow]

-Hackles raised subconciously, Tibbs kept her head still, moving only her eyes to gaze at each of them in turn and memorize their facial features and markings.Bounty's eyes transfixed her, but she broke away. She came to Arcane and almost backed up. She felt the orbs upon her and longed to just shrink up so small that they couldn't see her. There was a vague twitch beneath one of her yellow eyes. But then a thought: This is what they want...they want you to fear them.And she straightened a bit.-
-=Vinny's tail wagged in curiosity at the newcomers. They smelled weird. Her nose wrinkled, in turn casting the white fur around it out to the sides to blend with the black. She wonderred who they were.She wanted to run up and touch one, just to see if they felt different, as they looked. She had seen a panther before, but never a bobcat...or a coyote for that matter, though it looked similar to those around her.=-

[glow=lightblue,2,300]-He steps forward a bit from the others, demaning her attension. His one golden brown eye is unwaveringly cold, but the husky clearly shown in the other shows a bit of compassion. He quickly tries to hide this. It was a weakness his blood wouldn't let him overcome.-
Tell us, Tibbs. Why is it you choose to align with the Shadowlanders?
-He asks, for he has a strange feeling this female hadn't been told the complete truth. He has a feeling she hasn't outrightly been told that this is the evil side- not the good.-[/glow]

-And indeed she did not know this for sure. But she had an inkling that it was not the alignment of good...Fire didn't seem that type. But in truth she hadn't thought about it further...being a coyote was too much of an experience.
Its not that she would care anyway. This was going to be a new life for her. She was starting over on a different path and wasn't going to look back-
I seek power. ((and..-quotes dk-.XD))

[glow=lightblue,2,300]-He smiles vaugly, his eyes glittering.
He already likes the sound of this. Power, that was certainly unoriginal, but still, if would definetly let her fit in. Already, he likes this femme, and should he live through the war, he would like to talk with her.-
You and all else, Tibbs. You and all else.
-He says simply, his eyes seem to glitter with information that nobody else knows. As if he holds a secret precious to him.-[/glow]
[glow=burlywood,2,300]-He smiles grimly. He and Adrian had a job when it came down to these new 'initiates' of Fire's. Intimidation. And it usually worked.
Even if the fellow knew what they were doing on purpose, they wouldn't be able to get rid of that aching feeling in their chest. The feeling of Fear. They would push a good sense of fear into the coy and the others would do the rest. She had to learn how to live among the other evil's and she had to learn a great sense of seld-strength if she was to do that. She had to have utter and complete controll of her emotions and her actions.-
But she's a pretty thing, isn't she Adrian? -he says, staring at Tibbs, his eyes unseeing yet al seeing, addressing the wolf who ad just spoken. As Adrian nods, a feverish grin appearing upon his face as he starts to draw closer to her, Arcane speaks again.-
A pretty thing for this part of the land... Are you sur eyou can keep yourself.... safe... my dear? -He says, breaking into a cracked sort of satanic smile, his eyes rolling back into their sockets, clearly enjoying himself.-[/glow]

-She watched Arcane closely, not trusting. To tell the truth she had never really trusted Kael, but that wasn't her fault. She had a distrusting sense behind her nonchalance, but never really showed it. Indeed, with every passing moment she was experiencing new things.-
I believe I'm up to it...-her yellow eyes never left the blind wolf, flicking her gray pepperred tail nervily- If not, I'll die and that'll be all, now won't it. -she didnt say this a question, for this was her theory.-

[glow=lightblue,2,300]-He laughs evily-- Isn't that cute, Arcane. I like them with attitude. Fiesty. -He says, thouroughly enjoying himself obviously. This wasn't the real him, and he always liked doing this because he could be somebody he really isn't. It was like playing another person for just a little while.-
But i'm afraid i don't like the tone, Tibbs, you'll have to learn your pace... -he says, advances yet more, his claws gripping the dirt, ready to go if he has to-[/glow]

-she braced herself. Wouldn't it be sad if she didn't even make it through this scene? Depressing really. Her claws gripped the ground a bit tighter, and she clenched her jaws. Just in case, she thought. Of course she didn't know how she would fare if she was attacked. Probably be killed. She had faced that possibility many times and gotten through it, but not with these numbers against her and in this form...she wasn't up to it. So she lowerred her tail a bit and felt her hackles lay back to their scruffy position.-
