Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not again, why must this happen. Why must he have this trait from his father. Why did his mother and him have to be attacked by their tribe. Why wont this entire thing end. All these question where swirling through Odi head as he rested under a bush. It was another attack from the bloodlust he got from his murderous father. He didn't think he had it till the tribe ganged up on him. He sweated constantly drooling out the side of his mouth wanting to cool it with blood, then the worst part was the constant pulsing in his vision. As he rested it slowly faded and his regular mental state came back.

He stood up and shook his head quickly, he had his this so far from the rest of the pack. Although he didn't know how long it will last till it is triggered around a fox. He stretched and flexed his jaw. Thinking back to the day he meet Odi, that was a tense moment. Being Kana he learned who to watch out for and who to worry about. Sin didn't triggered that he triggered an instant respect. Although he didn't agree with all the killing he understood where Sin came from. The only family Odi cared about was his Mother Rei and his Uncle Rendo who he still didn't know had a confrontation with Sin or that their related. His brother and sister could be killed by him for all he cared or his father. God he wished to sink his fangs into his father for turning on the two of them.

Finally feeling his mind was back to normal he turned and walked back to base camp silently stalking through the woods. As he got closer he could smell Sin, blood and decay before seeing him. Upon seeing his leader he bowed his head in respect and sat down at an angle to his right not saying anything for a moment. He looked back at the virtually empty camp ground. A few rabbits still hopped around not showing fear. He watched one get close enough and he triggered his mental powers on the rabbit breaking it's mind so that it feel back and laid twitching on the ground foaming at the mouth.

"...My abilites are at your command." He said looking back at Sin silently, he didn't have a trusted right hand yet from what Odi could tell and Odi wanted that position badly.

Odi looked back at Sin silently then back at the rabbit he had just broken still twitching on the ground. Finally deciding it's torture was done he went into it's head again and made it's heart stop. He look back at Sin again the same look on his face.

"Enjoying...yes I guess you can say that. I'm finding many other uses for it." He said looking back at the rabbits and making two of them attack each other. "Although I'm still not able to control anything more then these vermin. Controlling two is a strain." he said frowning as his connection broke and the rabbits sprinted away bleeding. "Although it's easy to command week minded animals. Snakes have surprisingly complex minds." He said looking back at Odi.

"I will have to find an special gift for the shadow beast when the time comes." He said wondering what Sin thought of him. Odi had given him a overdraft of his past but no details. He was still wondering if he might even stay. The gift was fine but he didn't need it. He had his speed and power for that.

"Sin...I'm ex-Kana and I want to let you know that as being that I didn't just come here for the killing. I joined you because your what Kana didn't have. A real leader. I'm trying to tell you that any doubt you have I'll do to put it at ease." He said looking at him his face was hard from his years at Kana. "I see that you will lead us to things I could never imagine. Then your the shadow beasts chosen...I'll die on your command." He said looking levely at him, he wasn't challenging him. Just trying to make sure Sin was who he presented himself to be.

"That's good. My last leader order the tribe to try and kill me and my mother. I didn't want to have to fight you for survival." He said accepting Sin words. He looked back at the area in front of them then looked back at Sin. "You know Sin, I sorry if I seem to be overstepping my bounds. I learned to make sure of things before you make a major decision." He said as he looked in the direction of the temple.

"Everyone's our enemy right? Even Lunarie?" He asked knowing mentioning Lunarie might raise questions but it didn't matter.

Odi looked sideways at Sin then looked back at the dead rabbit. "Just heard they were one of the major tribes lately." He said, good enough answer he hopped to get around any more questioning.

"I understand." He said as he looked away wondering where his tribe mates where. "On a side note, are the other members have combat experience like us?" He asked, he knew they had two flying foxes but that didn't matter if they couldn't fight. "If not I guess it's my job to teach them..." He said with a slight frown, he knew that teaching them meant sparing and that also meant having a large fox barrel into him.

"I see." He said thinking back to his uncle but put the thought away as he looked toward Sin. "Hmm, guess their wings are useful." He said taking note of them. "I seen them earlier. The female surprised me as a carrier. I thought their breed were aggressive and could use fire." He said casually as he looked at his Kana tattoo as he thought about how it branded him the oddball out of the group.

Odi glanced at Sin as he spotted the tattoo. He really did wonder what he thought of it. Kana had disbanded but still he couldn't help but wonder. As Sin got up Odi followed suit walking behind him.

"I haven't said anything to them." He spoke calmly, he didn't want to really have to deal with their personalities.

(ok folks I know this is a lot but bear with me please. Ixen is starting off this post as a kit)

Ixen as a kit

Wandering quietly through the forest Ixen stumbles and lands on his belly. He is horribly tired. It seemed like days sense he had wandered off away from that human owner that was hugging him the two female modifoxes that were staring at him for a time. He didn’t know where he was or how to get back to the warmth he inadvertently escaped. Tired and hungry the little kit lays down at the foot of a tree to rest. Tears brim at the corners of his small eyes as he looks around for someone, anyone to help him. Slowly he rubs his nose with his paw. If he couldn’t find them he could at least get up and look for someone else who could help him. Turning his head from side to side Ixen takes a look at the forest around him. The forest seemed dark but there were small streams of light that radiated down from up high. A rabbit bonded past Ixen making the kit jump. Being lost was no fun at all.

Suddenly a black fox with blood like rivers in his fur appeared before Ixen. “ come.” Ixen got up and tried to follow the fox. Several times Ixen lost track of the swiftly moving fox. Each time he lost track of the black fox Ixen looked around and eventually spotted the fox looking out from the shadows at him. The forest a maze and Ixen was lost before he had even started so he had no hope of keeping track where he was now. Eventually Ixen found himself looking into a ruined shrine of some kind. Red eyes started out at Ixen capturing him and filling him with thoughts and knowledge that Ixen never knew existed.

Just as suddenly as the eyes had found and seized Ixen they were gone. Ixen turned around and walked back to what he knew was his new home. There waited the blood stained black fox that lead him to the shadow beast for training. There waited his father, Sin.

(Now here is how Ixen looks now, after his ‘training’ from the shadow beast)

Odi followed Sin trailing behind slowly. The things he did swirled around in his mind. Some things he was going to have to let Sin know, others he'd rather take to his grave. As he approached he caught sight of a red, black, and white fox. A quick look over said this male was something to keep an eye on. As he walked closer and saw Sin's face he frowned a little.

"Sin, I need to talk to you about something." He said sitting down watching the new male.
