Welcome to Gaia! ::

Regardless of how much authority Leera was trying to show over the two, Damian was not effected by it. He kept his position, his pose, and his tone to the same it had been just as he had arrived. Her tail had raised, but the scout seemed to take no notice of it. Why should he? Granted, the fae was his alpha, but what else was there? She showed no real authority over him aside from holding a rank. Constantly, Damian would challenge her. There were plenty of times where she would put him back in his place, but the male never stayed there for long. He would always step on her toes and challenge her, no matter what. Soon, though... soon he would get his way.

There was no doubt that Glaise was not approving of his words, though that meant nothing to Damian. Glaise was just another body in the pack - a body that Damian would have under his control eventually. Whether the warrior liked it or not, Damian had quite a bit of influence on the others in the pack, and he knew all the right words to say to their so-called alpha to get her to agree with him. Not just words, of course, but tone. The fact that he knew what he was talking about, he presented himself with confidence and pride... it all added up into how people responded to him. Leera was no different when it came to that. Hell, nobody was. The alpha stated her words, seeming to side with him from the start. Though most wolves would have shown some sort of emotion such as a smirk or a grin, Damian just remained still, his golden eyes focusing on the warrior before him. It was yet another challenge, as he was quite good at making others feel intimidated or inferior. He wanted this warrior to feel threatened by just his stare, because then Damian would be able to get him under his control. Oh, yes... the time was soon coming.

As soon as Leera got up to leave, Glaise took that moment to speak his mind. He called the two disgusting, basically saying that their acts and thought processes were completely wrong. As if the humans would really let even the lycan cubs live? There was no doubt in Damian's mind that the entire human race would try to exterminate the lycans. They had no reason not to, did they? The lycans were presented as a threat, even a young one, because eventually young ones grew up to be adults... and those adults would be just as deadly as the last ones. Why would they ever let them thrive? Especially since the humans had started attacking out of seemingly no where.

Lunging forward to block the path of the warrior, Damian curled his lips to snarl lightly as he spoke. "Do not be a fool, Glaise. The humans would kill off your cub just as soon as they would anyone else's. Be glad you do not have any children to lose." Shifting a bit, the scout began to close in on the warrior - either forcing Glaise to step back, or hold his ground. Either way, though, Damian was still getting closer and closer. "Do you think they are sitting in their homes, sipping their tea and eating their meals, not worrying about how they are going to kill us? Their women, their children, eventually they will grow tired of seeing us as a threat. You've seen what they've done already, have you not? They have attacked us out of no where. What makes your mind think they will not try to finish the job when they have the chance?" Finally stopping, Damian bared his teeth at the warrior one last time before huffing a bit. "You clearly do not understand that this is for the own good of our species. Those humans will not stop until we are dead. If your life is to be taken before you finally realize that, then perhaps you will no longer be the issue of holding us back from thriving in this world." With that, Damian turned his back on the warrior - an act that showed total disrespect to the other. He was done here.



ooc I didn't want to auto them in my post, because Glaise can reply if he wants. Otherwise, just auto. Or radio can auto since it's her post. xd

Glaise was normally a calm fellow. He could keep his head in most situations and think clearly. However, there was just something about Damian... That wolf got under his skin like nothing else, riling the anger he kept deep inside. Damian seemed to have no regard for the natural order of things, for one. Leera was the alpha, but that stupid scout just traipsed in and chattered on, barely acknowledging Leera. Glaise couldn't detect any real respect for the others in the pack either. Respect was one of Glaise's highest values, and Damian spit all over it.
As Damian locked eyes with Glaise, the warriors hackles raised. His anger was about to boil over, something that had only happened a very few number of times. He kept his eyes on the scout as he continued towards the Hall. Then the scout just had to make it worse. Every one of Glaise's muscles locked up, even his tail went rigid. The very uncharacteristic urge to tear out a throat came over Glaise and he exposed each and every one of his teeth, lowering his head a bit. He forced himself to listen to Damian, perhaps so he could get even angrier. The last straw dropped when Damian turned around with utter dismissal. Before he could stop himself, Glaise launched himself forward, snipping at the scouts neck. He wasn't quite ready to hurt the weaselly little s**t, but he still wanted to knock him down a notch, and right now he just couldn't deal with words.
"You both are blinded by your hatred," he snapped, shoving the scout with his heavy paws. Despite a strong desire to show some dominance over the scout, Glaise gave one more growl before turning and joining the others in the meeting hall. At this point, he didn't care what Leera or Damian had to say. Even if it killed him, which they seemed convinced it would, he would stop this crap. Every life should be given consideration, should be given the chance to flourish. He would make sure everyone- lycan and human- finally grasped that concept, no matter what it took him.

XXXXXThe young doctor was happily standing with Annaleigh and Kaine. It seemed that the weather would be nice today and that it would be a pretty decent day. She knew that Kaine had been wanting to go and fight the wolves for a while now. Even she herself at the least thought a diplomatic approach would be well for trying to end this meaningless dispute between their town and the natives. Her feelings towards the wolves were that they, being the humans, were imposing on where the wolves had once called home. The werewolves had given their homes to accommodate the newcomers. Though both sides have been causing turmoil towards each other. It is not one sides fault in this, it is both. She gave a small startle when a dark figure walked in front of her and blocked her view of the two. Stepping back a bit, she noticed it was a human form, not a wolf.

Vaun, their leader, had come in between her and the two she had just come over to talk to. From the looks of it, he did not seem too thrilled either. Annaleigh had not done a single thing and Myriam felt bad she was getting a bit of Kaine's scolding directed at her. Myriam stood there, peaking around Vaun to watch as he told Kaine it was a death wish to go into the forest alone. Myriam squeezed her bag a bit that had some new herbs in it. She blushed a bit and stood back. He was right when he said that it was foolish to go alone. She didn't even know what she had been thinking wanting to go in the forest by herself, but those two didn't deserve to be scolded like that. If anything, it should have been Kaine and herself, not Annaleigh, taking the punishment for disobeying rules. There had been many times Myriam had walked into the forest so that she could grab different plants and things she needed. Sometimes she just went for fun also. That was when it was more peaceful and safe. When the wolves would protect her from harm.

Myriam had just about had enough of Vaun's scolding when he turned around to look at her. She blushed when he stuttered a bit. He had even bowed to her and smiled. Gently reaching out and wrapping an arm through his, she patted his arm and said, "Good morning, Vaun! I believe today would be a nice day for a picnic! So if you are done giving your vital insight, we should go sit in the fields and enjoy the day for a while. I have some wonderful new sandwiches to try!" Myriam looked over her shoulder at Annaleigh and Kaine, making a motion with her eyes and head for them to head back to the town and stay out of trouble. As long as Myriam could help keep others out of trouble, she would. Kaine was being a bit foolish anyways, but Vaun needed to reassure his rules were being upheld. She did find the young leader to be quite handsome and she did not mind going out with Vaun to relieve his stress and enjoy their day.

Annaleigh Cole
Human Civilian

xxxWatching Kaine worriedly, Annaleigh waited to see if he would take her advice and choose not to go into the woods, especially by himself. It was rare to see anyone go into those woods, and usually, they never came back. She didn't know the lad all too well, they conversed every now and then on her way to the bakery but she still didn't want to see him suffer the same fate as those whom had foolishly ventured into the woods alone. Not only was he putting himself at risk but the people of the village as well, as if he went in and were to be attacked and killed, he wouldn't be coming back and that would be one less person to help protect the village. When Myriam spoke up, seemingly having missed what was previously said to her, Annaleigh smiled. It was a rare sight to see the blonde get angry about anything and she just gave a smile, looking to Myriam and then back to Kaine. "Conversing with a friend on my way to the shop. I've got to get ready for the big sale tomorrow.." She replied, soon raising a brow at the basket that Myriam was holding. Did that mean that she, too, was going into the woods? It wasn't particularly the type of company she wanted Kaine to have, but it was better for him to have someone whom could watch his back, even if the person didn't have their own weapon.

Just as she was about to try and convince Kaine to come into town with her and to have breakfast, their leader showed up. She didn't have time to say or do anything as he blocked the path, speaking directly to Kaine and boy did he seem angry. It was enough to cause Annaleigh to take a step back, trying to avoid the anger of Vaun. Did he think that she was planning to venture into the forest as well? Hopefully not, Annaleigh was deathly terrified of the woods now, especially after the attacks had started. She hated walking on the path alone, even if it was in a safe area and out of the woods. The best and the only way to soothe her nerves was to find someone to walk with, whether it be Kaine, Myriam, or a stranger. Just so long as she wasn't by herself. Even if Vaun's words were frightening to the blonde, she knew his words to be true. If Kaine stumbled across any of the lycans, he wouldn't be coming back. Luckily the scolding didn't last long and she was silent, looking nervously to Kaine. Had that been enough to make him change his mind? She certainly hoped so.

While Vaun turned his attention to Myriam, finding it suitable to dote on her, she gave a weak smile to Kaine, hoping that he was okay. Had she just gotten him in trouble by trying to prevent him from endangering himself? She certainly hoped not, she didn't want any enemies, and the one person whom she walked with the most, she hoped he'd understand her fears. It seemed that Myriam was taking advantage of having Vaun's attention, using the chance to get Annaleigh and Kaine away from their angry leader and she wouldn't hesitate to head into town, giving the female a smile and a nod. She'd run into her again, it was a small village and there would be plenty of time to talk. For now, she had other things to worry about. But it seemed Kaine was ready to start a fight with Vaun, challenging him by talking very rudely. Annaleigh was stunned and before she could say anything to shut Kaine up, he had invited her to come to town with him and she happily obliged, wanting to be away from their leader. After all, it wouldn't be long before Vaun heard what Kaine had said, and she was sure it wouldn't end well. The sooner she got out of the area, the better. She gave an apologetic look to Vaun and Myriam, even if they wouldn't see, soon looking to Kaine.

"Was that really necessary? You're getting yourself into trouble, Kaine! And I'm not quite sure Myriam will be able to keep you out of trouble if you keep it up, I know you want to go out.. But alone? He has a point, it's too dangerous and you're one of our only knights. If something happens to you out there, that's one less person to protect us. Come to the shop with me, I'll fix you some breakfast. Muffins sound good?" She questioned, looking to the blonde at her side, doing her best to keep him out of trouble, and danger. Pissing off their leader wasn't a wise idea and she hoped that he'd been too busy fawning over Myriam to notice Kaine's rude statement about someone making sure that Vaun was paying attention.

When it came to fighting hand-to-hand combat, Damian was lacking skill completely. Sure, he knew how to swing his fists and bite someone's throat out, but other than that he had no training whatsoever, and had no skill. So when someone was coming at him, the best he could do was throw a punch and hope that it didn't miss. Then again, the only reason he had no skill was because he didn't fight often. The only thing that kept him from getting pummeled all the time was that he knew how to use his words. He could twist things around, make the person feel intimidated enough as if they were not going to win the fight. That, or he would be able to feed into their anger, and direct it at something else. Whatever the result, though, he had managed to keep himself from getting hurt and/or killed many times. Of course... when it came to Glaise, the scout knew it was only a matter of time before something physical happened. This time, it was intentional He wanted Glaise to get physical; wanted the warrior to strike first out of anger. Damian was tempting the warrior over and over by just saying little things, as well as getting in his face. But he still awaited the moment when Glaise would strike. At this rate, though, it was going to be sooner rather than later.

Just as expected, Glaise finally snapped. dAmian turned his back to the warrior, showing disrespect by doing that simple act, and it was enough to set the warrior off. Damian had not only mashed Glaise's buttons, but he obliterated them. For someone so calm and collected, Damian had set the other male over the top, just as he wanted. With a quick lunge, the warrior was at him, nipping at his throat with a loud snarl. It had startled Damian, to say the least. Though he was expecting it any moment, it was still quick enough to catch him off guard. He jumped, trying to turn to face Glaise fully, but two large paws had shoved him to the side heavily. His hind paws slid in the dirt, keeping him from falling as he finally turned to face the warrior, listening to his words. They were words of a fool.

"You are a fool, Glaise," he retorted, laughing lightly while baring his teeth. "I feel no hatred toward humans aside from what they have done to this pack. But my wisdom outweighs your idiocy, and I can see through the haze that these humans will not stop until every one of us is dead. If you don't believe me, then perhaps you should go side with them. You can die right by your master's side, like the good little dog you are." The last part was said with a loud snarl, and Damian's fur bristled. It was a warning to Glaise, but also another attempt to have more physical violence happen. Oh, Damian had his reason.

Once Glaise separated, and went to the meeting, Damian huffed lightly before trailing into the group as well, though was sure to keep his distance from everyone. He sat off to the side, alone, all the while keeping his gaze on the alpha as she started her speech. He listened intently, but was also forming a plan within his head. A plan that would get things going in the direction that he wanted. However, it would take a bit more effort than planned, considering Glaise had become a bigger problem than Damian first expected. It was not a huge issue, but before he could realy continue with his plan, all of the problems would have to be eliminated. One way or another, it would happen.

A soft sound came from his side, forcing his ears to bow lightly before he turned his head. Brown eyes landed on Reverie, and he gave her a quick lookover as she questioned what she had missed. Oh, if she only knew! If she had come just a few minutes earlier, she would have seen everything. Still, he had no intentions on explaining what had happened. In fact, he was planning on retorting with a sarcastic comment, but the alpha intervened before he could. She placed herself in front of the female scout, and questioned what was happening. At this point in time, Damian usually would have been rubbing all up against the alpha, but instead he remained seated and just listened. Any other time, he would have done that, but not this time. No... he had another plan, and the start of it was not happening just yet.

With the ferocious announcement of Glaise leaving, brown eyes glanced over in the direction where he had last seen the warrior, only to take notice that the spot was now empty. So it was true, the pup had finally given in to go with the humans? The mere thought caused a sadistic smirk to cross his face. Leera sent a warrior out after Glaise, but at this point, Damian was unable to help himself. He stood, and his voice was loud as he barked after the predator. "Bring his head back as a trophy and symbol to everyone who thinks of betraying this pack. These cubs will learn not to ******** over their alpha." But with that, he quieted down, considering the warrior was now gone off to find Glaise.

Oh, what a wonderful day this was for Damian!

Once the alpha had finally finished everything she needed to say, Damian brought himself to stand and approached her. He did not touch her like he usually would have, but instead stood close to her and spoke in a low tone. Whether or not Reverie remained nearby, it didn't matter. He would still say the same thing regardless. "How dare that mutt betray this pack. Your pack. He left for the humans, but he will learn the hard way. Either one of the warriors takes his life, or one of the humans will. It is his own fault." Damian growled lowly, but his eyes locked with the alphas. "These humans will not stop at anything, Leera. We either take them now, or we wait for them to invade our home and kill our families. Or do you wish that this pack go down as a failure?" The last part was said with a snarl, and he bared his fangs some in attempt to rile her up.

Damian would feed into her anger. He would rile her up and get her more and more aggressive, as it was all a part of his plan. And once she was so angry that everything started to boil over, he would take control of her through that rage, and would have his way. Oh, yes... he had everything planned out. Soon enough, he would have his alpha eating from the palm of his hand.



ooc I may have gotten a little carried away...

Leera Soles
Leader of the Lycans

xxxHowls had filled the room after her announcement, several blood thirsty wolves lingered about the room, though she was stunned to find someone else speaking up. This wasn't what she was expecting, and as she listened to the words, she gave a snarl, whirling around to face Damian. So, he wanted proof that Glaise was to be killed? She glared at him, starting to approach the male, as she wouldn't normally have minded the order, today was not a very good day. It wasn't often that anyone ever walked out on Leera, and this was enough to put her in a sour mood. "What do you take yourself to be, Damian? Do you suddenly think that you're my partner? The other alpha? What makes you think that you, a lowly scout has permission to order around my warriors?!" She snarled, ready to put the male in his place. She was used to him trying to push her buttons and right now, she wasn't in the mood to deal with such things. Reverie hadn't replied to her yet, another thing that was annoying her as she was eager to hear the female's report. But it seemed Damian wasn't just focusing on handling Glaise and ensuring the warriors killed him, no, he was wanting to mess with the alpha. And she was in no mood to have him pester her but she perked her ears as he spoke up.

This wasn't quite what she expected but for once, she was silent, listening to what Damian had to say on the matter. Listening to him, she realized that he was right, who was this pup to betray her and her pack to join the enemy. He really did belong with the humans, and she'd make sure he got to meet his beloved innocent humans in the afterlife, every single one of them. And then the humans were mentioned, those filthy two leggeds. She hated them all and she snarled at just the mention of them, her eyes hardening as she deflected her gaze away from Damian, not wanting to give him the priveledge to look into her eyes. "I know they won't. No matter what anyone wants, those humans are dead. I will slaughter them all. They won't stop, we don't even have to launch a war... That wuold just be us rolling over and allowing them to murder us without fighting for our pack." She snarled, and as most knew, Leera wasn't one to go down without a fight. And she wouldn't let her pack just roll over and take death as it came - no, they would fight until the end. They would fight to ensure the humans knew who was the weaker race.

"We start the attacks tonight. We take out their supplies.. Any travelling merchants.. We cut off their contact to the outside world. Anyone tries to run, we take them down. We will show no mercy." Leera decided, calling over one of her lead warriors and breaking him the news. Of course, he was eager and though he didn't show it, the alpha knew the male and could read him like an open book. On the outside he was calm and collected but on the inside? He was excited, he was ready for this. He was eager and blood thirsty. Just how a lycan in her pack should be. "And Damian, since you're so eager to give out orders, you may go with them. You are going to help make sure my pack does not turn out to be a failure. You are to oversee the process along my lead warrior. Make sure no one survives. Bring back every body. Tonight, after the deed is done, the pack will feast." She snarled, nodding for them to go and prepare. They were to rip those humans apart, brutally murder them and she paused, her eyes locking onto Damian. "Make sure they know that you were there. Make sure they know that our pack is done hiding. Leave the heads and lots of blood. Bring the remains home, to your pack." She huffed, trotting away with her tail up. Right now, she was going to go and try to relax, Reverie could find her later.

Tonight, it all started, the war. The bloodshed. She was pleased that her pack was willing to accept this, it meant only a few had to die on her side due to betrayal. Only one had walked away from her so far and Leera went to their infirmary to let the shaman know to stock up on supplies for if something were to happen. Once she was done with that, she went to her favorite spot, a ledge that over-looked her village and already, she could see them preparing. Instead of suiting up, they all shifted, their wonderful true forms showing and she smiled, watching her pack. This was a strong pack, and she wouldn't let them show any forms of weakness. Those humans would be dead by the time that spring was upon the lands.
