(Hey guardian? You hinting towards being her lover? And I wasn't the shadow at the time, I was my Original form, Which is the collared wolf that is in my bio under the name.)
Darc watched, completely struck with confusion at their reactions. Those two were too much trouble. But something felt like he had to try and chase after her, maybe it was just that faulty memory that made him feel he knew her before. Normally it was his shadow form wolves would run from, but to run from my original form.
Darc dashed out of the dens and toward the gate, knowing his flesh form was beginning to disintigrate and force his body back into his shadow fog form. The guards were still on the hunt for his form and it wouldn't be easy to get out without conflict.
It would be no problem to fight his way out, however he would be drained of strength again, he had scrapped out the last of his energy to change forms so soon.Crap! They're blocking the gate!
Slowly his form was changing and there was nothing he could do in this unfamilier territory. He was sure to be caught, and better restrained if not killed on the spot.
(For the post two below.
^.^ Well, she was calling me, you resemble my original form, my characters memory is fuzzy and he doesn't remember his time with the she-wolf. Who will turn out being Alumina. Tis why our character's are so drawn together without an explanation.)

Alumina's paws churn vainly through what she now knows to be water. The ground had collapsed beneath her, plunging her down into an underground river that leads back to the lake. But she's too far down. Her consciousness fading, her heart pounds thunderously in her ears. A face flashes into her mind, one so achingly familiar she suddenly cries out to him with her mind. Help!
The water pushes her back down, her efforts too weak. I'm going to die here.... Her thoughts flash once more to the shadowed wolf. Who is he?... And why did he take that form?... Her eyes drag shut. My love... Please... If you are alive... Or even if it is just your spirit I am seeing... Help me... She calls out one more time as her back sinks into the bottom of the lake, her thoughts, unknown to her, being sent straight to the wolf who had taken his form. Her markings shimmer in the black water, the only light that could be visible from the surface, if only very faintly.

(Eh, well, I'm kinda confused by this point, so it reflects in my character... and I figured that he might have noticed you materialize out of your shadow form. Since he was watching.)
Shadow was now walking, his breath was heavy from all the running, and he was glancing nervously around. As if he expected another rock to hit him. He was trying to remember the direction of the rock fall. Which wasn't as hard as he thought it would be, he found the area he had been knocked unconscious and looked around, trying to find that very same collar he had left behind.
He searched for a good 20 minutes, when he finally saw it in a thorn bush. "Great." he muttered, he looked into the bush and sighed. "Better get this over with." he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, and reached in with his head and yanked it out, a few good tugs made it come loose and the force of his pulls doubled over on him and made him fall on his back.
He looked at the collar, and made it hang off his nose, with a backwards tilt of his head, he slid the collar on. He waited a bit, hoping the collar would bring back some of his memory...
He sighed, "Nope..." he tried sliding it off, and realized it wasn't going to come off. Might as well keep it now, the only thing I have left to remember my old self by... whoever I was...
He ran out of the mountains, in search of Alumina, who he hoped would be able to tell him the significance of this piece of rope.
He found the lake again, and heard someone's thought's, coming from the lake, he recognized them and jumped in, swimming towards the faint light and grabbing the barely conscious body by the scruff, with all his might,he paddled back to the shore, and dropping Alumina on the wet mud. Then collapsed.

(Refer back to my previous post. I had edited it thinking I had no time to reply. Btw, I changed my bio a couple of days ago on an agreement between me and Alumina.)
Darc dashed from the gate, running past the guards and as they followed him, his form completely shadow now, a trail of shadows left on the ground in the shape of pawprints. When a guard steps on it, they are all dragged back to the spot and Darc dashed towards the lake, the thoughts seemed so real so him, he had to find out where they came from. That she-wolf went this way. He felt like he was being drawn to her. He found her and that wolf. He knew he should have been thankful. Though his presence still irritated Darc. He was more compelled to rip his throat out. However he contained himself. He layed on his belly watching Alumina's breathing incase it were to take a turn for the worse.

Shadow was about to say something to him, but his eyes closed, "You... you're okay..." he said, "I just get a bit nervous around you two, 'cause I have some sort of deja vu." he said, coughing up some more water, "And please don't hurt me, I'm as confused as you are." he said, reading his thoughts. He coughed some more, and lifted his head. Looking around for any danger, as he usually did, and laid back down. "I'm Shadow." he added, before closing his eyes again
(Okay, I was kinda lost when I realized she was referring to both of us. sweatdrop sorry)

asmodeus turned towards all the people running trough the gates. he turned and started to follow when he engulphed himself in shadows and emerged from a tree near everyone. he stood quietly watching the ordeal take place. he paid attention to the wolf with the odd markings but was distracted by the feelings radiating from the shadowy wolf it appears you dont like that wolf he said emerging from under the tree chuckling his hand resting lightly on his sword

(She wasn't ^.^ But I suppose it is a rather confusing situation.
By saying "The one who took his form" She was refering to my character, for when my character changed into his original flesh and blood form.)
Darc turned to their intruding guest. "And what of it. It is more the fact he resembles my former body than anything else" Darc said, though inside he knew that it was a lie, he had saved her when he was too far away. It ruined the chance she would owe him her cooperation, and that he might be trusted with more.
Darc shook his head, his thoughts scrambling again. He was about ready to kill all three of them. But he had a group, away from the ears of the king. He could use this to his advantage.
"My name is Darc. I have no value for either of your lives, the she-wolf there, she is of far more use. Shadow, I will not hurt you, however, that collar." Darc switched back to his original form, the differences between them not obvious, but still noticable if you were looking for them. He stared the wolf in the eyes, his a blood red and the wolf before him the color of amber. "You are to find a way to make the difference between us obvious. Or I will gladly dispose of you. I will not be mistaken as you, and I will not allow you to be mistaken as me."

The first thing Alumina does is cough out water. Almost too much water to be believable. Her body convulses, as though she is dying, but her breathing only quickens and she writhes in the mud for several moments before lying still again.
She remains unconscious, but her mind slowly reaches out. She senses two presences, both of them familiar. The name suddenly floods her. D....Darc...? She calls out, voice faint more from exhaustion than anything. She shivers suddenly, her fur so soaked that the chill hits her bones. But her voice is stronger already as she speaks again, D-Darc?... Is that really you?.... Its so cold... Her eyes open halfway and her gaze falls blankly on Darc. Her mind is elsewhere, deep in memories, but now even his eyes are familiar to her.

"When you wake up she-wolf, you are going to explain this to me." Darc said, hardly diverting his line of vision towards her, keeping the other wolf in his sight aswell. Their prior meeting was not a fake memory, but instead a hidden one. He was eager to learn of what she might be able to tell him. Perhaps they'll unlock more memories, every memory is another piece to repair his shattered sanity.
"Now, on to other matters. Tell me your opinions on your king, what does he do to run your kingdom. And lastly are you supporters of the king or do you wish for a better leader?" Darc said, his words were proffessional, but hidden inside was a fogged amount of worry towards the she-wolf's health.
It was uncommon for him to care for any one of only acquaintance, or of lost memory for that matter.

Alumina blinks, slowly forcing herself onto shaky legs. She stumbles forward, muzzle raised in a wary challenge, to Darc. "My business is my own." She says so quietly to him that the others would have to strain their ears to hear. She is making it clear that she wont speak with Darc in the company of others, but her vision trails to Shadow, then to the human. Her gaze hardens and she turns, letting out a low growl. "What does the king's right-hand man want with a couple of wolves?" Before the human can answer, she steps forward, all loss of strength and the fact she just nearly died forgotten. Her tail lashes aggressively. "Do not go around interfering with my orders! Go and tell your king I found the murderer, and I plan on executing him tonight." Her gaze gives no hint of a lie as she glares for a moment longer.
Turning again, she strides to Darc, ready to make a scene and grab him roughly by the scruff, but she hesitates long enough only for Darc to notice. "Play along, and you'll be getting out with much more than just your life." She whispers to him, mouth barely moving. Then she lets out a feigned snarl, jaws opening to grasp his scruff.

Darc understood, he looked at her, stunned. "She it was you who were looking for me. I knew that I was being tracked since my escape!" He said yelled with fury and a mix of mistrust. "And to think I was coming here to save you!" He spat. "Shadow, you were part of this too, a plot to catch me?! You're all dead, even after I die, you're going to know suffering. All of you!" Even with such strong words, he feigned the stunned state, still shocked at the play betrayal.
Darc figured this was how some normal murderer would react to death. Though the sacrifice was a close to death as it could come, he had a glimps of hell, and knew his end would take him there. The act came so naturally to him, he wondered if he would react this way too. Perhaps after Darc lost it, but in his current mind, he'd just blink away before her jaws closed.

Alumina grasps Darc's scruff, her eyes flashing with mock menace. Her ear twitches ever so slightly so Shadow knows to tag along. What I have to say, and to propose to you two, must be said in both your presences. But no one elses. She sends to them both, making sure to block the message from anyone else. "Shadow, you will come as my witness." She growls through fur, uncerimoniously dragging Darc through a better used entrance to the lake. The more witnessing the capture of a murderer, the better.
She takes them out of the city, through a secret backway once they are out of sight and earshot of all others. She releases Darc as well, so she wouldn't have to drag him the rest of the way. "Within the city, anyone could be listening. I'm taking you both back to camp," her eyes dart between both as she speaks, narrowing them as she pauses her tread, "If either of you so much as think of this location while within the city, I'll kill you myself." She finishes, turning and slipping through the break in the gate.

Shadow groaned, thinking, he had been laying there and looked like he was near death and most likely helping this whole murderer ruse, so he laid there using the time to think, What about this collar? I had it in the first place... he thought, I look like you? I don't know... I think I'm me, and he looks like ME. How do twins work? He looks half dead anyway, considering he's a shadow, so maybe I'm the real me... I never died. he gave another groan, his lungs were still in pain, And what does he want? I have amnesia, or at least, the symptoms of amnesia. So I'm about as good as any other wolf. He wants Alumina for something...
He stood up, I'm keeping this collar, it has something to do with my past, and no one is going to take it away.
He followed Alumina, and nodded his head, and promised not to say anything.

"You'll not even think of killing me, I could be far from your sight in an instant. I've no clue how many times you've faught in your lifetime, but it couldn't come close to my own." Darc said, his words were powerful but his voice stayed calm.
He turned his gaze to the half drowned wolf. Darc's form changing in the painful fashion it had before to his shadowed form
I'm going to have to stay like this for awhile, I feel like I'm going to pass out.
"I'm almost compelled to apologize for my hatred of you. Perhaps we can be like brothers in the near future, however do not expect me to even spit in your direction until you prove your use."
(On ps3 expect replies to be short)

Kiba wandered through the forest absent mindedly. He had a snowball balancing on his nose for fun as he walked. He had a way of letting things go and he made himself perfectly content living in the forest, fending for himself. He threw the snow ball up once before balancing it again, his tail happily wagging. He continued to juggle it wandered towards a city absent mindedly.
