Seeing Titan above him shocked the energy through him. "You.." he snarled almost not understandingly. He felt heat soak through his tendons and tighten, shooting him to his feet, eye to eye with his brother. "YOU." he snapped at Titan's face, no caring if the spikes on it ripped his mouth. "I want my daughter!" he said, as foam rimmed his lips. He lunged at his brother, only to fly back and stagger from him. Blood dripped from his mouth, his eyes crazed with fury. His body convulsed, all his muscles tight with testosterone.

Titan's sneer shifted to a snarl, and his ears flattened threateningly against his head. "Yes, brother." he growled, noting Ark's state. He seemed to be heading in a downward spiral and he though his brother was a fool to let himself get in such a state. When Ark suddenly stood, he did nothing. He could see it was anger and grief that drove his brother on, not reason. He merely took a pawstep back, face armor slanted towards Ark, and he felt only a few scrapes from Ark's teeth.
Even in the rain, Titan's fur bristled at Ark's words. "She's not your daughter." he said, lashing out. "She never was."

"You are dead to her and I, do you understand me?!" Ark lashed again, lunged at Titan, feeling many cuts, gashes, and tares all at once. But he continued. His gripped Titan's side fur in between his teeth and shook his head violently. He felt the sting of new injuries rip themselves open, the old ones growing worse. He heard something cracked and could no long use his back paw to claw at Titan's eyes. He glanced, only for a moment to catch the glimpse of his ankle in Titan's jaws.

The rain was letting up, thankfully to Victoria. She felt chilled to her core with the weather like it was. She'd wandered off to the side, and had some how ended up wandering back the way she came. She didn't realize this at first... She continued, head down and on edge. She was terrified of running into something - anything dangerous. She heard a commotion and whimpered. "No.." she muttered, looking around for some sort of shelter to hide and wait for someone she knew to find her.. if they ever would.

Titan only snarled louder in response. Victoria was his daughter by right and by blood. It occured to him that Ark did not know this, as he had never met Titan's mate, but Titan was so infuriated that Ark would say such a thing to the only pup of his left alive that he ignored the thought. When Ark came again, he countered, just as savagely. His fur was slick with rain but the armor helped, and when Ark took the time to cling to his fur, Titan leaned down and bit hard into Ark's leg.
Movement was everything. Titan knew that if he could just immobilize his brother or slow him down, it would be a very easy victory.

Ark still continued the onslaught. He let go of the side fur, letting himself blob to the ground, his ankle still attached to his brother. He wiggled, no caring about his foot. He angled himself underneath his brother's stomach and snapped upward, hoping to snag some of Titan's soft underbelly, or at least the straps to his armor.

Titan was both surprised and disgusted by what Ark was doing to himself. It seemed living the life of comfort hadn't done much for him. He wouldv'e been dead long ago if he went into the North.
Since Ark didn't seem to care much about his foot.... Titan clamped down hard, trying to break bone, and backed away quickly, away from the snaps, hoping to force Ark to turn around to keep his balance or fall to the ground.

Ark winced and tears soaked in his eyes but he still pressed on, not showing interest in his foot. he leaned on one arm, lunging towards Titan's unarmored part of his tail. His wanted to feel his brother's fur and flesh under his teeth, feel his fangs pierce his skin and hear his brother scream with pain. Pain that Ark had felt for so many years, until Victoria. But then Titan stole her from him, out of the blue. Now, it was Ark's turn to feel no more pain. The rain stopped completely, but the weight he was putting on his arm made Ark sink into the muddy earth, making it even more difficult to maneuver on the ground.

Titan yanked hard on the foot he was holding before releasing it and letting loose a thundering roar. He widened his paws and kept his steps light, as he had done on the soft Northern snow, and kept from sinking, unlike Ark. He whipped his tail around and dug his pointed tail barb into Ark's side, thinking it was a pity he hadn't had time to dip it in deadly poision as he would have liked to.

Ark yowled in pain. The mind shattering pain in his side paralyzed him for vital moments that slipped by. His body was rigid with testosterone, it was frightening. Ark snarled and rolled on his good side to a pethetic stand. His brother was a monster for doing this. He stole Ark's adoptive daughter out of nothing but spite... and now he was going to kill Ark. "b*****d." he spat, blood sputtering and landing on Titan's face. "She is my daughter, now and always will be. Just like my parents are mine alone. You are dead to her, myself, and my family." With that, Ark blacked out... his legs gave way and he hit the ground with a thud, maw open. He sunk into the mud some, matting his fur and seeping into his wounds. He was fading fast and by tomorrow.. would be dead.

Titan took the time to withdraw his weapon and snarled again. His fur bristled with rage when the blood landed on him and would have charged, killing Ark with the horn on his face armor, if Ark hadn't spoke.
"You dare..." he started in a dangerously low voice. "You dare claim my daughter as your own?" The fact that he had called Victoria his daughter out loud surprised him but that didn't stop his voice from rising. He was practically yelling by the end. He could care less about his parents. If they had cared, they would have found him before his journey into the North. He rushed in towards Ark quickly in his anger, and attacked the limp form with fangs, claws, armor, any weapon he had control of.

Victoria saw everything.. everything. In epic slow motion, tears streaming from her eyes, she screamed. "Stop it! You'll kill him!" she padded over to Ark, covering him with a small snarl on her expression. "Get away from him, you monster!" She growled but came out as a sobbing squeak. "Get away from us! You hurt my daddy, you monster!" She growled again, trying to cover as much of Ark with her own body as possible. Ark remained limp under her.

Titan tore out chunks of fur and was about to go for a limb when a familiar voice startled him to a halt. Victoria.
"What are you doing here?" he said. The surprise made his lips raise and his question sounded more of an accusation. Before he could even finish, though, Victoria had spoken and what she said hurt him more than all of Ark's attacked combined tenfold. His ears flattened and he had a hard time trying to look, well... less scary. His usual response to helixes who ordered him around was to kill them unless the helix happened to be Asmodeus, his old Alpha. Just the thought of his old Alpha brought back memories of his old mate, too, and his dead pups. Suddenly, lowering his lips didn't seem so hard. The fact that she called him a monster and his worthless, weak brother her father didn't help.
"Victoria." he started, taking a step closer. It took an effort to lower his tail, smooth out his fur, and try to look friendly, but he tried. "Victoria. I... I...." he paused, hurt by the way she looked at him. There was hate and fear in her eyes and she looked so small, he was sure he could crush her easily. "I--" this time, his voice broke, forcing him to stop. An unfamiliar confusion and pain entered him and he did the only thing he could think of to escape the horrible feeling. He ran. For the second time in his entire life, he ran. But he would return. Soon. He'd claim what was his.
