time to hatch!

just one word from you and it's over

Something strange was going on. Memories and dreams tangled and meshed together, whispering a sweet lullaby that was sickening to listen to. Everything was a frustrating mesh of bogged down suppression.

Then something snapped.

And Alpha became aware. Someone had dared to imprison him and before he even escaped the cage he was cramped inside he let out a rippling snarl. With a thrust of his feet, the gemstone shattered around him, his body falling to the cold, stony ground in a mess of slippery, slobbery mucus. The white king coughed once to clear his throat and rose to his paws.

His legs trembled with the effort. His time imprisoned had left him weak, this much he knew. There were memories just out of his reach, ones that he tried to grasp at-- but they were taken just as his muscle structure had been. Grumbling to himself, he looked around and found his eyes falling on a similar cocoon beside his own.

There was another.

Alpha put this knowledge to the for front of his thoughts, fur prickling, and considered his situation. He was free, he was once Alpha, and this one... This one perhaps would be his ally. Stepping forward, he touched his nose to the stone and willed it to break free as he had.

ulla

He felt like he couldnt breathe - like he was being squeezed in a tight place. He was, actually, though the breathing part was just his over active, super paranoid, mind sending him into a near panic attack. He wriggled around, desperately trying to find a way out of this place but he just couldnt. It was literally choking him.

When he couldnt break free of his cocoon, he tried to find any way to comfort himself, but that failed too. He was literally having a panic attack within seconds of life and he couldnt escape it.

Scrambling inside his chrysalis, he had no idea another was outside, willing his prison to break free. It dosnt work, but thankfully his ignorance didnt allow more fear into the boys brain. He whined softly inside his prison, his body still desperately looking for an exit, but he was still to no avail. He needed out.

But no one came from the shell. An irritated snarl escaped the canine's jaws as he shook off some of the sticky liquid that clung to his forepaw. If that was how it was then fine. There was a reason he was Alpha.

The rather small boy backed away from the crystalline egg, baring his teeth at it. He could break the gem prison and free its captive with ease-- or so he thought. The wolf lunged at the stone, colliding with it and toppling over it in his attempt to dislodge it. A sharp yelp cut through his throat as his body his the floor, but thankfully no one was around to hear it.

Wincing, Alpha rose to his feet once more and let out a frustrated growl.

"Come on, get out! I don't have time for this!"

ulla

Everything just shook.

He yelped in fear inside his casing as the outsider rammed his prison. What was that?! Certainly he hadnt done it... Involuntarily, he began to shake. His whole body vibrated in a way that actually... Calmed him. A little of his panic would leave, allowing him to feel less confined. There was a subtle humming sound that could be heard inside his shell, but could only be felt when touching the chrysalis on the outside.

Unbeknownst to the trapped wolf, his vibrating hum caused a few cracks, making his prison weaker. His humming continued, soothing the young boy for only a short amount of time. Long enough for his panic attack to subside and hopefully make the chrysalis weak enough to break.

alpha's getting distracted rip

just one word from you and it's over

Alpha panted, licking his chops as he tried to calm down. The anger-- was that new, or old? He didn't remember being so impatient, but he couldn't shake the frustration pricking at the bottom of his heels. As he stared daggers at the stone that matched his own, he witnessed the cracks start to form.

Something was inside. The fact that he had been correct was enough to lift his chin, spread a cocky smirk across his lips. "That's right, come on. Out with it." The words came from his throat as he stepped forward, touching the stone with a paw.

He could feel the shell vibrating. Whatever was inside was either shaking violently, or the cage was containing something powerful. The wolf was intrigued as his tail twitched, a tingle crawling up his spine. In an instant, some small, red things began to grow from the cracks, wrapping their way up the shell.

Alpha tried to remember what those things could be, but came to the conclusion that they were new. He had summoned them, and he didn't know what they were, but it made his muzzle split into a grin.

ulla

After a short minute, the comforting vibrating hum he produced faded out until it simply stopped. With his focus back on his prediciment, he heard further cracking as his unknown accomplice forced something the grow on his chrysalis. His ears twitched and the panic began to settle back in. What if it collapsed on him?!

As if flailing woild help and not make his situation worse with the pending threat of the collapse, he began to kick at the sides hard. There were more cracking sounds with every kick of his foot or shove of his shoulder after each kick. Finally, with one large crrraaaack! he was free!

He slid out of the cocoon and towards alphas feet, his limbs flailing wildly as if he were running but he was laid out on his side. His breathing was harsh and fast, gasping as if he had been drowning and finally had air. Moments later, he started coughing, his limbs slowing until he stopped couching. He laid there then, at the feet of the other with wild eyes and gasping for air again, his body shaking from cold and nerves.

bout time!

A crunching noise signaled to Alpha that he should take a step back, and so he did. The jail finally snapped to pieces, a lump of fur not much smaller than his own body tumbling out to his feet. In an instant he got a sense of scale: there was a wolf pup at his feet. It was not the size of a pup, if he were his true, Kingly size.

Alpha looked down at his awkwardly large paws and swallowed, suppressing the immediate feeling of inadequacy. He didn't have time for this! He rose his tail to full height, lifting his chin, and let out a low growl.

For half a second, he looked over the other wolf. A dirty, brown coated creature covered in chrysalis membrane, shaking and coughing. It seemed that this whelp wasn't a powerful thing after all, but instead a lowly pup beneath him. Disappointing, but perhaps the little thing would end up useful after all. If he listened to his superior, at least.

"I am Alpha!" He declared firmly, deciding to set the bar in place now, rather than later. Yes, he was a puppy-- that felt incredibly wrong, though he didn't recall ever being an adult. Rather, he simply knew that was what he was supposed to be.

ulla

He laid there shivering, his wet fur freezing him on top of his nerves and gasps for air. He was there for a while, just breathing and shivering... Then, there was a voice.

"I am Alpha!" it said, the sound coming from just above his head. Chartreuse eyes blinked a few times before they focused on a white paw, then travelled upwards as far as he could see. Slowly, he pulled himself back onto his right hip and sat, his shoulders hunched and his ears back. He made eye contact with the fellow wolf for a meer second before downcasting his vision, staring at the ground.

Alpha? Then who am i? this wolf knew who he was, so certainly he also knew what his name was.

Alpha stared sternly at the pup as he rose, as though he didn't quite realize that his superior was around until he had snapped teeth at the younger canine. Indignation spread through his veins as the lowly brown mutt stared down at the ground before him, afraid to even meet his eyes. Not a single challenge.

Instead, a question. Soft, timid. The white king's tail twitched, pain coming to him when he tried to move it the wrong way. He didn't break his gaze from the darker canine despite this. It could wait for another time.

"You?" For a moment, Alpha was tempted not to give him a name. To leave him nameless, worth less than the dirt under his paws... But there was something intriguing about the pup, something that made the leader hesitate and consider. They had the same punishment: imprisonment in the shells colored of blood and gold. A good leader used everything to his advantage, and where would he find another who would fall under his paws so easily, without question?

Frankly, the ivory wolf felt a rush of adrenaline as he made his decision. "You are my Omega." There was something he had to repair. Fragments of his memories, his reputation, his strength. For now, this was a good first step. "Come with me," he told the younger-- if only by a few minutes-- wolf, taking a few steps down the tunnel. He needed to scout out the area they were in... See about finding food, about finding shelter... Nothing about this place was familiar to him, and it made his pelt stand on end.

ulla

"you are my omega." it had been decided. Alpha had named him, and claimed him even, and he felt his tail wag a little. It thumped the ground lightly, though his expression didnt change. "are you my Alpha, then?" he questioned, looking back up at him but still avoiding prolonged eye contact.

"come with me." omega did as told and stood, hurridly following after him until he caught up, walking next to him but a pace or two late, putting his shoulder near his hip. He began to look around then, the fear building once more like it had in the chrysalis, only now it was different. He didnt feel as claustrophobic here as he did in the stone, but now the uncertainty of everything was more than he could handle.

It was soft, but a humming came from omega again, only this time, it couls be heard. He vibrated lightly, as if he were purring, and stopped dead in his tracks, cowering. His nerves forced him to drool, his saliva pooling in his mouth and dripping out the sides slowly. "a-alpha. I'm s-scared." he wimpered, trying to focus on the white wolf, but his paranoid eyes kept flicking around, fearful.
