Korsu let out a laugh and said, "Then if you look horrible, then they would find me even more hideous." He followed Tatsu's gaze and saw that she was staring down the person who was supposedly seating people. It seemed that the person was refusing to look at either of them. Korsu crossed his eye's as he then joined Tatsu as he stared at the person, not blinking.

Tatsu flashed a grin Korsu's way, "You're not entirely hideous. I've seen worse, trust me... but these Muirmoresse are..." She growled as she sighed and then she marched up to the host and actually poked him. "Hey, you. You're gonna let us in, you're gonna feed us well, and you're gonna treat us like royalty," She said sternly, and with a grin that was like a baring of teeth, Tatsu lifted her chin to a degree that actually caused her to look down on the man. "Ya know why? Because you're a** is lucky to have people like us in the world to protect it. Take one good look at me and try to convince me I haven't been fighting for the good of your country."
******************************
Fenrir quickly over took Enya, and on the way past he grabbed hold of her wrist and practically threw her on his back, shooting glares at his soldiers; theyknew better than to even suggest to give Enya a lift by now. The small group dashed along, Fenrir leaving the other two wolves behind he was moving so fast, and then the smell of blood hit him. His eyes widened at the familiar scent; it was his brother. That realization just made him move all the faster.
Ahead of the other two wolves, Fenrir reached his brother first, and he crouched nearby, panting slightly, as Enya moved from his back. "That looks like a really bad wound..." She murmured to herself as she crouched by him and held her hands out, the both of them glowing. "Excuse me, little one, I'm just going to heal your master here." She explained with a light smile, and then she started to work on healing.

"Calmly now, Tatsu." Korsu said, following her up to the man. "You're scaring him." The man nodded vigorously as he then grabbed two menus and led them to a table. He put the menus down and then shuffled away quickly. Chuckling, Korsu took a seat at the table and said, "Order anything you want."

Grinning, Tatsu flopped into her chair, looking smug and confident. "Sometimes you need to employ scare tactics to get what you want," She explained, a smirk on her face. "Well now, let's see... I want to find what smells so good..." She hummed, thinking out loud as she picked up the menu and read over it, frowning thoughtfully; and then she grinned brightly. "Curried meatballs and stir fried vegetables? Sounds good to me..." She looked up from the menu at Korsu, that slightly devious expression returned. "So, what do you want?" She asked, which was a not so subtle way of asking, "Let's see what your diet is."

Karoku groaned and moved a bit, feeling the effects of his healing wound. He had lost a great amount of blood, so even once the wound was healed, he wasn't going to be able to stand straight for a while. When the healing was complete, his eyes fluttered open, his first glance on the woman healing his injury. He shot up, feeling a sharp pain in his side, but noticing it the wound had been sealed up. Iio began to wag his tail and yip, excited that his master had wakened. Karo's eyes shifted between the faces of the other Maolna and stuck on a certain one; Fenrir's. It took him a moment to completely recognize his elder brother, for he hadn't seen him in years. His narrowed a bit and he stood up, stumbling slightly as he stepped back. "What the hell do you want?" He fell back down, landing on his butt, and stared at heir of the maolna race's kingdom, Fenrir. Iio ran over to Karo and stood behind him, growling slightly just as Karo happened to be doing.

Enya jumped back from Karoku in surprise at his actions, and in immediate response Fenrir moved to her side and snarled at his younger brother. "So, this is how you greet your big brother?" Fenrir asked, his voice sarcastic and slightly angry. The two other Maolna gasped and dropped rapidly to their knees, bowing before the other member of Maolna royalty. "Brother?" Enya asked in confusion as she glanced up at Fenrir, slightly surprised that he was suddenly so close, and then she shifted closer to Karoku, causing Fenrir's growling to become more pronounced. "Your... winged pet was howling, and Fenrir heard it and came to help," She explained calmly in a soothing voice, trying to be a voice of reason. Absentmindedly she brushed at her bangs, non-intentionally drawing attention to her tattoos. "You shouldn't move for a bit, you seem to have lost quite a bit of blood." She said gently, a worried look on her face.
Realizing that all the growling in the world wouldn't stop Enya from acting like, well, Enya, Fenrir straightened and turned his back on his brother. "You should be lucky I was here, or you would be dead..." He ground out in an angry voice... He was worried about his brother, but he would never admit that. To be gone for years and to come home to find one of your brothers missing... He let out a sigh and glanced back for just a second. "Fenrir, don't be rude." Enya chastized, much to the amusement of his soldiers, who had to stiffle chuckles.

The thing he had hated the most, was what the two wolf maolna had done once discovering he was of royalty; being so formal and bowing. It made him feel different, out of place. Of course, it wasn't much better now, but it was still better than living within the walls of his kingdom. Iio did his usual thing of jumping onto Karo's back and digging his claws into the fabric, looking over the wolf maolna's shoulder at the other people. Karo calmed down a bit from Enya's voice, but he wasn't entirely relaxed. He snorted at Fenrir's latter words and crossed his arms. "Did I ask for help?" He glared at the maolna prince and stood up, letting his gaze shift between the human woman and the other maolna. As he got to his feet, four spears dug into his back, making him tense up incredibly and turn around. The spears were brought up to his neck and another two guards stepped between Enya and Karo and held swords to his back. "Karoku Inugami, you are under arrest for murder and treason." Karo snorted once again, disgusted that these mere creatures were threatening him.
He gasped as the spear's rod was smacked against his head, bringing him to the ground instantly. He grabbed his head and winced in pain, growling in the process. If he hadn't lost so much blood he'd... "s**t..." The guards ignored the other maolna and proceeded to chain him and stand him upright. Karo's eyes moved to the back of his head and his eyelids soon sealed shut as blood began to run down from his head, going over his eye. His body went limp, but was supported by the guards as they held him up and began to walk away. One of the guards looked at Enya and Fenrir, glaring at them. "It'd be best if you left. Healing an assassin isn't the wisest idea." With that, the guard walked away, leaving them in complete silence.
Iio had pounced off of his back and stepped over to Enya, beginning to whimper at the sight of his master being dragged off involuntarily.

There was a long moment of shocked silence, and then an eruption.
"What the hell just happened?!
"Where are they taking the prince?!"
"Fenrir? I don't understand..."
Shocked, Fenrir turned and stared blankly after the guards and his brother, speechless. "I'm not entirely sure... but I don't think there's a think we can do right now... Even being a prince, I can't get involved in the affairs of other families..." He explained slowly, sounding strangly disappointed, though mentally he was raging. That was his little brother who just got dragged off, and if he allowed himself to get angry he cause trouble for Enya and she... He spared her a glance, only to see her one visable eye looking up at him with worry. "We can't just let this happen, Fenrir. He's your brother..." She said slowly, but when Fenrir just stared at her she bent down and reached out to pat Iio's head. "It's alright... We'll save him for you." She said gently, smiling slightly at him.
At that Fenrir bit back a snarl, "Don't go promising things that we can't do!" He barked at her, loosing his temper at long last. Enya looked up at him and frowned. "We're going to save him." She stated calmly, as if merely saying a simple fact. Fenrir let out a long sigh and glanced up at the sky. "You two, get the hell out of here, Enya and I need to discuss this in private... in fact, just get out of here. I don't need witnesses." He growled, and in unison the two soldiers bowed and practically disappeared. Enya stared up at him calmly, waiting for him to speak as she slowly petted Iio, trying to calm him. Sighing, Fenrir sank to the ground and glared at her from where his head rested in his hands. "You will repeat this to no one." He ordered, and solemly Enya nodded.
"He's my brother and... I actually do care about him... But if we get involved you could get hurt, we might both be killed, and right now you're the only one who can remove the crystals from the Maolna." Fenrir explained. Enya frowned at him, her head tilting, 'Of course, Fenrir's only worried about his people...' She thought to herself, and then she shook her head rapidly and stood, she wanted to tell Fenrir the thoughts in her head, but instead she only picked Iio up and started off in the direction the guards went. Fenrir was at her side almost instantly, "Right. There's not a thing I can do to stop you once you're on a certain path..." He sighed in exasperation, and Enya smiled up at him, laughing slightly.

Karo was shackled to the wall and woke up soon after. He roared and tried to free himself, cracking some of the brick wall as he attempted to escape, but it came to no avail. He sighed and shook his head, his memory kind of foggy for a moment before he remembered what had happened. His ears twitched slightly as he overheard the guards talking of him and one soon came in and removed the bandage from his head. The guard began to laugh and kneed Karoku in the stomach. "Filthy mutt! Even if you are of royal blood, you will be executed soon. Can't wait to see it, myself." He roared with laughter again and punched Karoku in the face, only to soon have part of his knuckles flesh ripped off by a bite from the young wolf maolna. He yelled out in pain and smacked Karo in the head with his spear's rod, knocking him unconscious again and beginning to beat the living hell out of him. Karo woke up after the next kick and blood escaped from his mouth. He growled up at the man and smirked. "When I get free, I'm going to dig my fangs into your neck and remove that head of your's from those shoulders." He laughed uncontrollably for a bit, feeling blood run down over his eye and down his chin. Another punch made contact with his cheek, silencing him and making him lower his head.
A few hours later, Karo was dragged out to a deck with a stump placed on it, a stump stained with blood and gore from previous beheadings. His knees were kicked from behind, sending him to his knees, then his head was shoved down onto the stump. He made no struggle to escape. It would be pointless to try and escape for the time being, seeing as there were many guards and his hands were chained behind his back. He smirked up at the executioner, who held a very large great axe in his hands, grinning down sinisterly at Karoku. It was amusing to know that they had placed so many guards in the area to make sure he didn't escape. Soon, many people arrived at the small stadium, rooting for his beheading, only to get laughter from the young maolna prince. Three cloaked figures weren't laughing though and one girl among those three looked affectionately down at Karo, grasping the ledge tightly and almost in tears from seeing him like that.

Fenrir paced nervously, frowning to himself, worried to death over Enya but possessing no ability to stop her. He couldn't, after all, there was no stopping Enya once she had a plan... it hurt though, she hadn't given him the details of her plan, she'd only informed him that she would be playing heavily off of the belief that most Maolna had about what she was. That worried him more than anything, he wanted to protect Enya, but if he tried to protect her now she would only get hurt. "Stupid girl, trying to be a child of the Moon..." He sighed to himself as he leaned his head against a rough stone building. "She didn't take me with her, but she took that flying dog..." He growled.
Meanwhile, Enya was putting the finishing touches on her plan. "Alright my friend," She whispered quietly to Iio, "I need you to be good and do as I say? We might be able to save your master... Though..." She let out a long sigh and shook her head. It took a lot of concentration, but she managed to wrap a stream of water about herself, forcing her body off of the ground, coiling it around herself almost like a dress; she was a bit embarrassed by the clothing she was wearing, she didn't like white, but it revealed nearly every tattoo. "They want to believe I'm the Moon's daughter, well... let's see if I can use that for distraction." She announced to Iio, and she smiled slightly at him.
It took even more of her power, but Enya managed to form from the shadows a pair of wings, and then she only needed to focus to hold it. "Iio, you know the plan, right? I distract, you lead your master away..." She sighed and glanced down, 'Gods above, if this doesn't work by way of resembling their idea of the Moon, I'm most certianly going to distract every male there...' She thought to herself, and then she quite litterally floated out into the crowd from where she had been hiding. "Holy..." Fenrir muttered, and then he shook his head rapidly to free it. "She's a complete idiot..."

As a gasp came from the crowd upon Enya's appearance, Karo noticed the guard's staring as well. Iio crawled up behind him and with a couple hard snaps of his jaw, he broke the chain. One guard looked down and yelled right before he was the victim of a powerful uppercut, throwing him into the air a few meters and letting him land on the hard ground off the deck. The executioner swung his axe horizontally, attempting to cut the maolna in half, only to have the young man lift his katana out of the sheath, but not entirely, only enough to block the axe. The impact of the axe against his blade, made him slide a little to the side, but he instantly reacted and sheathed the blade, rushed to the executioner and slammed an orb of dark energy into his face, killing him instantly. Karo did not leave quickly, being foolish and stubborn, but knowing he could escape now. He looked for the guard who had attacked him while he'd been immobilized and grinned. The guard began to run away, but not quick enough to get away from the wolf maolna after he transformed and rushed over to the man, pounced on to him, and completed his promise of beheading the man with his fangs. "Told you this would happen." He growled before quickly transforming back into his humanoid form, then began to run, knocking out a few guards who stood in his path.
The three cloaked figures cheered with happiness and rushed out of the stadium to meet up with Karoku.
Karo made sure to get out of the city, knowing Fenrir would be here soon. He gasped slightly when he was approached by the pack he had tried to leave, afraid of causing the death of one of them. He was wrapped in a tight embrace by Cyrille, hearing her thank him for saving her. He smiled and looked at Auso and Yuna, who were smirking until Auso drew closer to Karo and smacked him upside the head. "Don't take off like that again. See what happens." Karo growled a little, but not in a threatening way, and smiled once again. Iio barked excitedly and flew up to Karo's shoulder, licking him repeatedly in happiness. Karo chuckled a bit and began to pet the dog. Now he had to wait for his elder sibling to arrive and lecture him. Of course, he had some smart-a** remarks to send back to the older maolna.

Tired, Enya released the shadows and the water she was holding, letting the water wash through the crowd and the darkness shockwave out; she dropped like a stone, but somehow Fenrir was right there to catch her. "You are the biggest idiot I have ever met, if you ever do a thing like that again..." He warned, but he stopped short as Enya glared at him. "Quite frankly, you're the idiot. We need to get out of here." She sighed as if exasperated with him, and in response he only growled, setting her down and wrapping her cloak around her tightly. "Fine, I need to kick Karoku's a** anyway." He replied, and with that he scooped her right back up and dashed in the direction his younger brother went. Smiling, Enya coiled an arm around his neck for balance, "You wanna make sure he's ok, and you know it." In response he only scowled at her, 'You may be right, but I'll ensure his saftey after I've wiped the floor with him.'

Karo's ears twitched as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He could tell it was his brother because of the smell, but the others were ignorant to this scent, so they turned and prepared for a battle. When Fenrir came into view Karo rushed at him, quickly took Enya from his grasp and set her down, then tackled him to the ground. He hovered over his elder brother and growled, turning into his wolf form. He was glad the bandage remained on his head, covering the pattern on his head. "I am not a prince anymore, so these people do not need to know about my blood." He growled quietly, making sure the other's couldn't hear him, and stepped back, preparing for a battle he was postive would come. His pack looked at Karo and Fenrir, knowing who Fenrir was and confused on why Karo would attack a person of such a high position among their clan.

Fenrir let out a low growl and set up, his eyes narrowed to pinpoints. "I was only going to fight you for old times sake, but no one touches Enya and gets away with it..." He snarled in a low voice so that the girl in question couldn't hear him, and with that he leapt to his feet, transforming as he did so into his wolf form. He took on a defensive stance, smirking even in his wolf form, "But just to be fair, I'll let you attack first..." He growled, chuckling at the insult.
Surprised, Enya stepped back and made an attempt at melting into the group of Maolna. "Please forgive him, he likes fighting..." She apologized for Fenrir, making the wolf let out a barking snarl.

Karo let out a series of quick barks that would no doubt be considered as laughter. His lips pulled back into a grin, baring his fangs at his elder sibling. "Was that supposed to be intimidating. I'm not a child anymore." He barked loudly, growling soon after. His grin turned into a snarl, letting a sharp and threatening growl rumble up from his throat. "I thank you for the rescue, mostly Enya though. Is that you're new lover, by the way?" He chuckled a bit and smirked at his brother. "I will not hold back against you, Fenrir." he had to hold back saying brother since the others maolna could understand them. A bark escaped his lips as he dashed towards Fenrir, reaching him almost instantly. He was a prince of the Maolna, and with that blood, he had been given strength beyond a normal maolna. Fenrir had as well, so the battle would no doubt be exciting to Karoku. He snapped at his brother's side, ready to jump back if his attack was dodged or parried in any way.
