don't you ever tame your demons

but always keep 'em on a leash

Kerberos wanted to get back home, back to the place full of bones... Or at least to water, water where the he could fish and eat. He left Polaris behind, hating the cold, icy river. He would likely never hunt there, but it left him hungry, starving. He hated to disobey his orders, for some reason they had clung to him like fleas and ticks. He was too far away from home now, too lost, too hungry to be able to stick to his lessons... No, he needed to eat. He had to eat something, even if it was another gembound.

His middle head's ears laid back, his paw steps heavy in the damp soil, leaving deep marks in the ground as he went. "Find food," he told himself softly. The other heads looked at him, as if he was considering the same thought in three different minds. "... Eat whatever I find," he commented softly, a whimper escaping his muzzle, afraid of what would happen if he did finally eat a gembound... One that could talk.

"No choice," he told himself, firmly, coldly. Determined. "I'll die if I don't. I have to." The large white puppy shook out his fur, his skin puffing up against the cold air. It made him uncomfortable, his snake tail curled up around between his legs, pressed close to his warm belly. He pressed onwards, desperate, his noses sniffing around for any scent of tasty, tasty meat.

A big yawn split across her muzzle, baring all her sharp canines teeth for all to see. She was getting bigger. So close to being to being fully grown, she could see the changes in herself. She now stood taller from the ground, her length stretching out further, and her once floofy puppy tail was now long and flowing with sleek fur. Arkrael shook herself, eager to get the weariness shaken away so she could start her day. Slowly she rolled up to her paws only to bow her front half down to give a long stretch. Once satisfied Arkrael rose up straight and gave another good shake of her fur as she turned her gaze towards the cut in the wall she had chosen to take a nap under. Even now she still pondered over the memories she had seen. She had thought about seeking out Tamelyn to discuss what she had seen with her, but she was unsure as to where her hatchmate currently was.

Audits twitched as the sound of a voice just barely caught her attention. Slowly the near grown wolfess shifted her gaze towards the direction. Nostril's flared as she attempted to catch a scent of anything, but it wasn't close enough for her to do so. There was only one other option she could go with to figure out if it were a gembound or not. Her magic came to life, fueling her gem to vibrate and hum. It wasn't it's usual strong vibration, however, and she had only fleetingly felt the other gembound that was further up the tunnel. She lowered her head, eyes searching the area to see who it was. The vibration she sensed coming from the other gem that her magic had affected was not one she was familiar with. "Who's there...." She called out, a sense of anxious suddenly washing over her for whatever reason.

Kerberos drew still as the voice called out to him. Another gembound. He cursed his luck, drawing down to the muddy, grey earth. "Shhhh," he hushed himself, slipping behind a rock, his usually white fur thick with grey clumps up to his shoulders. He shivered, the dampness getting into his fur, but now he was focused, ready...

The wolf appeared, and though he hated to do it, he couldn't resist. She was huge, a fine kill, full of tasty meat. If he could just have her, he would be fine for days! He had to-- the rats avoided him at every turn. He had a chance with someone who would hold their ground and fight and she looked... Tough. It was dangerous, but he crept forward, sticking to the shadowed wall, and then when he couldn't bare to wait anymore, the white puppy lunged, teeth snapping.

His pounce was quick, but it was noisy-- his paws slapped the ground hard as he charged, his lips pulled back in a noisy, three-pitched snarl. He was starving, hungry, his eyes wild. He didn't even bother to tell her his name.

He was on the hunt.

Audits pricked forward, listening as her very body seemed to grow rigid and motionless. Her tail was high in the air behind her and the hair along her neck began to slowly bristle up. The feeling of the entire tunnel had changed, causing strange chills to run down Arkrael's spine. Something was not right. Every part of her screamed and alerted her of a danger that lurked. A danger she could not see. She had sensed another gembound. Was this gembound one of the creatures she had met or heard of? Those who caused danger to others? She shifted her stance, lowering her head as she continued to search.

In an instant a sudden sound of movement from behind her instantly caught her attention. A three-pitched snarl caused the rest of her fur to bristle and almost instantly she sprung forward, avoiding the sneak attack easily as her paws landed a good few feet away from where she was. A violent snarl ripped for her chest as she spun around to meet this creature head on. Three heads came into view and for a moment Arkrael faltered. The shock did not last long as she instantly reacted. Her top lip quivered up, peeling away from her large, dangerous fangs. Saliva stretched from fang to fang as she lowered her head.

She threw her magic without thought. No words or warning to this beast that dare try to attack her. This beast that was much smaller than she, but the oddity of three heads. Her gem vibrated and hummed, coming to life as she focused her Dislodge attack at the Earth beneath the feet of this strange canine. Hoping to break the earth and trip him up. This pup would learn some manners this day.

Kerberos wasn't the most agile, elegant of hunters and this was not the first time his pounce missed its mark, nor was it the first time that he was sent fumbling, tail over ears, from a miscalculated lunge. A rock caught his paw and he stumbled, falling over himself, twisting his paw from his momentum. A yelp escaped from two muzzles as another snarled, head twisting to meet the wolf with his pink eyes.

One head went to lick at the paw as he tried to get back up to his feet, his body parts all tangled together like a mess of puppies-- which was mostly what he was, aside from a bit of creamsicle colored snake-- yet eventually he managed to make it at least on to his belly, tongue rapidly licking at his injury.

"Hey-- come on," the head that was focused on the older wolf snarled to the others. The middle head kept licking, however, though the other head sheepishly glanced past the tall pointy ears. "Need more teeth," he whined to himself. The middle head paused, a pink tongue licking over his equally pink nose.

"One," he woofed softly, his tail curling around his flank, quivering as all three sets of eyes looked up towards Arkrael.

"Two!"

"Now!"

He howled, synchronized, all three heads baying towards the ceiling, his fur bristling as his injured paw began to glow a deep, ominous crimson. It was then that he tried his very best to manipulate the energy around him into a copy of himself.

Green and black eyes stared unwaveringly, watching as the pup fell tail over head and crumbled to the ground. Her hackles remained bristled, causing the fur along her spine to stiffen up and ruffle up around the base of her tail. The thing spoke and Arkrael did nothing but listen as it seemed to speak to itself, beginning to count down. Instantly Arkrael lowered herself, preparing herself for what this creature was planning on next. As the beast yowled, turning all three heads up to the ceiling. A Flash of light came from it's paw and Arkarel dropped her gaze only for a moment.

It seemed like nothing was going to happen so she quickly braced herself. This was her moment. While the heads were all looking up. A snarl vibrated deep in her throat and she sprinted at the beast. Racing swiftly across the distance between the two and lunged in at it, snapping fangs in hopes to grasp hold of one of the necks. Perhaps it would slow it's advances. That, or she would be facing the other two heads that may potentially cause damage.

The crimson glow grew stronger, and the puppy was confident he was just moments away from summoning his second self when he realized he was under attack. The wolf's teeth seized one of his necks suddenly and he let out a painful yelp, his paws thrashing as he tried to wriggle and squirm out of the way, panic flooding his young minds.

Immediately his magic stopped, as if it was going to work at all, and he simply thrashed and flailed, pain-filled whimpers bubbling up from deep in his chest. It wasn't the same was when the young tiny white noodle had gone for his throat-- this one had a much bigger mouth, and much larger teeth.

It was suddenly a fight for his life, not for a snack, and the puppy did the one thing he knew he could do. He didn't dare waste time counting down, he simply focused and pushed with everything he had-- his limbs and his magic.

Her bite fell true, fangs wrapping around the neck that belonged to the furthest right head. She bit, sinking her fangs in only a little bit as it was not her intention to kill this creature. She had only wanted to wrestle it to the ground and pin it there. To hold it and snarl aggressively and ask why it was attacking her like she was some piece of meat to eat. Just as she thought she was going to succeed in doing as she had planned a sudden pressure pushed against her chest, along with the kicking of legs, and in one burst of power she was flung away from the three-headed canine.

The wind had been knocked out of her and pain arose in her chest surrounded her gem that gave an odd vibration in reaction to the magic that had been casted upon her. Her rear paws met the ground first, skidding back from the force of Kerb's attack and she desperately tried to keep her balance as she slammed her front paws down into the ground, digging her claws into the ground to help slow herself down. Fury arose in her, burning deep in her stomach and spreading throughout her entire being. Lips peeled away, exposing her now blood stained fangs to the creature. Strands dripping and connecting to fangs opposite of them.

A roar slipped from her, piercing through the tunnel in a loud, ear splitting pitch that seemed to make the earth react. A flash instantly came from her opal gem upon her chest. A loud humming emitting from it, yet it was unheard from the loud roar the wolf had released. The Vibrations of the stone nearly took Arkrael off guard as it irritated her now bruised muscles within her chest. This pup would learn soon that he had chosen the wrong creature to eat.

The ground began to shake as Kerberos scrambled back away from Arkrael, uprighting himself. His tail flicked out behind him and tried hard to help him keep balance, but even with his front paws squared out, his hind legs found it hard not to get tossed around, being light and clumsy.

"Stop!" He barked, fright still making his voice quiver. "Stop now!" He had no idea how she had managed to make the whole cavern shake, but it frightened him. His fur puffed up, a snarl tearing through his throats.

"STOP IT NOW! I WANT TO EAT YOU!" He roared, closing all of his eyes as he tried, once more, to summon a copy of himself. The fight would be won if he just had more teeth!

Of course, the big puppy was doing a horrible job at actually trying to eat Arkrael, but hey. At least now she knew the name of the game: He legitimately wanted to kill and eat her. Surely that would only make things worse, but what could you do?

"I am not to be eaten!" Arkrael's voice rung out, sitting on a line where it could either fall to be a violent tone, or to a more matter-of-fact tone. Her hackles rose and Arkrael decided to once again attempt another physical attack in an attempt to get him pinned down again, but at a sudden bright flash of light Arkrael skidded to a stop just four feet away from Kerberos. Her head jerked back as ears pushed forward, multi-colored eyes staring as the form of another beast began to form in front of her. Confusion quickly overtook her as she studied the creature that looked exactly like the puppy that was trying to eat her.

She back peddled for a moment, unsure on if this were a true summoning of another creature as her eyes shot between the dopple-ganger and the true beast that claimed he had wanted to eat her. Instantly her instincts kicked in and magic was summoned. She wasn't sure if she could take on two at a time, but there was also no way she was going to back off either. This thing was trying to eat her and she would fight to defend herself until he knew that she was not something he could chew on. For now she would halt her assault and summon something to give her aided protection. At least this would prove to help keep a few fangs out of her hide hopefully.
