CAVE STATUS
QUESTS/EVENTS
Torrential downpours cause localized flooding and many upset cats. Along with these frequent rain, from gentle drizzles to heavy rainfall, there seems to be a flux of Magicka drawn in particular to water sources. Occasional jet streams of warm air make narrower tunnels harder to navigate. On occasion, the rain intensifies, becoming howling storms with sleet or large hail. However, the temperatures overall are a little warmer, with snow and ice in temperate caves somewhat receding.
The wolf-creature watched her, the challenge in his eyes. He wondered for a brief moment if she would rise to the occassion, if she would fight him for this pup. The thought excited him, quickened his pulse and made the adrenaline pulse in his veins. Unlike his Moon he lived for the fight, to feel his opponent's bones snapping in his jaws like twigs. This one was pretty but he wouldn't be above snapping her in two like the thin branch that she was. Even though he wasn't yet full grown he was already over twice her size.
Will you fight me, my pretty one?
He waited with baited breathe, paw never moving from its perch upon the pup. Silent but firm in his claim. After a few moments she finally consented to let him have his way. The air released from betwixt his lungs in a silent hiss, the only sign of his displeasure at her so easily giving up. No matter. He could get his kicks elsewhere but for now he would be joyous in the fact that he had a devout follower. Her head bowed to him and he suspected nothing of her but obedience. A raspy rumble of content escaped his throat, almost like a cat's purr, as he watched the top of her head with its sparkling gem. "Thou art wise, dark maiden. Thou obedience will be rewarded. Now, step back and release the pup. Thou have acknowledge that he is mine and thus I shall take him to mine realm... but as promised, thou shalt remain a 'lone wolf' with thine 'free spirit'." He smiled at her then, not the wicked grin as before but one that was more... genuine or at the very least self-satisfied at the turn of events.
He ran his light green tongue around his mouth, collecting the ooze that had gathered there. "I am a merciful god, thou hast seen this. Now, let us depart from here as comrades and be on our separate ways. I with my pup and you with your freedom." His paw remained on the tiny creature and he did not move while his eyes remained on her, feigning politeness as he dipped his muzzle in a silent gesture for her to go. She'd served her purpose and proven her allegiance. So now, he would let her go until she was needed again.

She dislikes fighting, like she once thought when she witnessed that competition this beast had with the snake she found herself scoffing in disapproval over the aggression involved. So sadly for him, his hunger for battle will not be sated this time, she was sure that the wrestling competition would be enough, then again her hunger for adventure is never sated either so she has no right to nickpick there.
It is unknown whether she has given up, it's hard to tell with Rinaotei right now, but she does step back from the pup, just a little bit though, still her view of how one shouldn't let their emotions take command is certainly the case right now, the beast is clearly displaying that he is satsified, Rinaotei on the other hand it is unknown for she doesn't wear her heart & emotions on her sleeve.
Her head is back up, she archs her back and stretches her hind legs out, she hasn't said anything in response to the things he has said. But she isn't leaving yet to finish her stretch, so she is paying attention.
In the stretch she is still in, Rinaotei lowered herself down more so than before and placed her focus on her surroundings, but this can't be seen as she proceeded to shake off the liquid that was on her fur from tending to the pup but during this shake she was actually focusing on her Magic, her right paw is sneakily making a slight movement forward too subtle to be seen, and then all of a sudden, a strong misty fog rolled over and enveloped almost the whole entirety of Polaris. The mist was getting thick very quickly and when it was thick enough to limit vision, she quickly snatched up the pup by the scruff of it's neck with her jaws, and makes her swift take off. Looks like her plan worked, she didn't want to take chances in case Mist Cover failed on her, don't drop the guard though, but if he pursues then she does have another idea if it works... While it may be a little hard for Rina herself to see the mist, she has been to Cetus once and so she knows what mist & fog is, not to add she researched it anyways so that gives her an advantage. She doesn't know whether or not the beast is familar with mist too, but the sudden appearance of it when her stoicism gave no indication of her plan or her connection to it may cause some confusion of what in the world is going on.

The puppy let out a wail when he was roughly grabbed by the scruff of his neck, but under his weariness, it was short-lived and muted in volume. He let out a few lazy grunts of distress as Rinaotei ran with him, but was still to weary to make much noise. He whimpered, briefly, sleepily, but the cries soon died down as he was weighed down by an exhausted half-sleep.
notes: this is Super Short but there is only so much infant vega can do rn until he grows a little (which he will.. if i must force him >:0 !!) @mosi@rinaotei

The beast was growing impatient. He spoke to her and she didn't answer, instead displaying a sort of stretch. His lips pulled back slightly from his fangs, a sign of displeasure but not necessarily aggression... yet. He would allow the mortal to finish her stretching but he wouldn't be pleased about it.
Before she finished the languid movement something changed. A sudden mist seemed to roll over them. For a moment the canine-creature was confused. His head lifted, eyes staring in disbelief at the fog but that was only for an instant, until he felt the weight of the pup disappear from beneath his paw. A snarl akin to a roar ripped from his throat as he looked into the fog... but of course, he could see nothing.
"Fool!" He yelled after her. Whether this mist was her doing or not it didn't matter. The only thing he cared about was the fact that she was retreating and deliberately disobeying his orders and, what was more, his attempt at being benevolent. Perhaps he shouldn't try to reason with mortals with words but instead with fangs!
The she-wolf's moment of freedom was short-lived as the brute closed his golden eyes and focused solely on his heat-seeking red ones. It wasn't foolproof but it did give him an idea of where she was. Her heat was clearly visible in the fog and he reacted to it by crouching, tensing the muscles in his rear legs and leaping. He could cross the distance to her easily but aiming was another matter.
However, if she didn't dodge and he didn't misjudge the distance his aim was to land squarely on her back and bring her down with his weight. His fangs would hopefully find the back of her neck in this endeavor to force her to let go of the pup with the penalty of pain.

Inwardly she felt really bad for when the pup made that wailing noise, at the same time she's worried his noise will help the beast track them down, but Rinaotei won't put that against the pup, he can't help it. But the sounds of distress died down and she can still hear him breathing, fairly amazing... Rinaotei has to admit, she's impressed of this pup, it might be due to the obliviousness of what is really at stake right now, still his composure does impress Rinaotei, the pup is probably more controlled than this fool she's trying to fend off, who she just heard roar out in ill-temper, how poignant... Fool? Oh please... He's the fool, letting his emotions get to him shall make him susceptible to getting manipulated by his enemies, so even if he was a leader of good intention, which he isn't another reason why he's a fool thinking everyone should drop what they're doing to serve him a silver platter, he will easily fall apart from the pressure. What a sad & weak creature... He's just another typical hot head with an ill-temper who had nothing going for their life...
She continues running from him in her cover, but she can hear his following from behind, seems like he be familiar to it, unless there's something else at play here. No matter... She has a plan if he does manage to get her. And sadly that is the case, his leap did get her, however his bite only managed to clench onto her fur, he's just a hair away from getting her skin that's on her neck. It did hurt, but in spite of this Rinaotei refuses to give this fool the satisfactory of seeing a reaction that betrayed her usual stoicness, an expression or sound of being in pain well the reactions she can control that is, her body by reflex does flinch a little bit, which does make her jaw clench on the pup's neck more from the tensing up, so instead of losing him she has a tighter grip. She still continues on, of course acting more like the beast is nothing more than excess baggage, he is really.
Her own patience is starting to run thin, she’s calm as ever as but patience and being calm are different, frankly she is sick of this fool, he's really insistent... Very well... If this fool refuses to end this pathetic fool's errand then she shall respond in accordance, but not exactly violence with claws oh no... She has a lot more class than that, trickery and clever thinking is more her thing and sorry for this beast but how pragmatic she can be for the sake of her goals, such as ensuring another gets the freedom they deserve, her direct methods can be ruthless... And this one could be considered to be one of them... And his reaction to it, ohohoho... It's going to be very intriguing and amusing, the sadism is now rising up slowly.
Since the beast barely managed to grab her, she has enough flexibility to turn & crane her neck around to be able to look at him in the eyes... And that's her target, so she slowly turns it still keeping it at an angle where he won't get the pup that she is trying to protect so easily, the reflecting light on her stone already shining into his eyes, but that's not her intention but it will help. Rinaotei's stoic & calm, but now ruthlessly ice cold, half-lidded eyes stared straight at the emotion filled four eyes without hesitation, her gem shining a blinding light once again as she focuses once again on her Magick, in waiting for it to begin while she has the pup in her jaws she manages to word it out at last what she expected to say if she ever were to meet him, "Get lost..." came out in her cold clipped tone, completely detached and emotionless. If he doesn't manage to avert it, then a few seconds later when she completes the Spell, she'll see the thick coated layer of ice on the surface of all his four eyes, it'll be a success freezing his surface eye fluids, he won't see so easily now, if at all now especially not with this mist. If he manages to avert it then the upper eyes fluids shall be the only victims to been frozen solid by Glaciate. And so while the immense sadistic amusement is really rising at her ruthlessnes and will love to see his reaction, she'll take this chance to make her escape with the pup now.

ROLL 19
Rinaotei attempts to Cast Spell — Glaciate( Freeze the fluids inside Mosi's eyes! )
it felt like the world was trying to stop him from growing healthy! vega just couldn't get any sleep like this, awakened from his heavy slumber with a sharp yelp as the larger wolf's jaws clamped down onto the scruff of his neck. he had no way of knowing she was only trying to help, and what danger he was in, the breath of a megalomaniac only inches from his tiny form. all the young gembound knew was that he hurt just then, and he was trying to sleep! the longer he was kept awake, the longer he had to deal with the restless, crushing weight of exhaustion.
if anyone currently involved in the scuffle had been in a place to examine the puppy with any kind of closeness, he may have looked almost worryingly ill. lucky for him, he was simply exhausted--and if he happened to fall ill, he would have a spell to cleanse himself.. as long as he got some rest before then.
too exhausted to fuss, the pup quickly became heavy and quiet once more as he began to drift off again almost immediately.

He caught her but not as good as he wanted. Somehow she still managed to drag herself forward with his massive bulk clinging to her back but still, even with only fur in his mouth he didn't let go. He wouldn't let go. This stupid pup needed to be taught a lesson to not toy with the gods. In the mind of a megalomaniac he was the only correct one, never did he stop to consider that what he was doing was wrong. No. Everything he did was correct, everyone else was wrong. Only he and his sister knew what was best for the caves.
So, he clung on, a growl surfacing in his throat as he felt the adrenaline course through his veins. It was then that he felt the she-wolf stop and turn to him. Not a full-body turn but just her head as she looked him full on in the face. He glared back, thinking at first that she was trying to dominate him by staring but it was not the case. No. He could feel it in his eyes, something freezing and burning. Involuntarily he let go of the she-wolf with an agonized scream as he felt his eyes freezing. An enraged roar was what the scream turned into as he felt the gem on his nose react to what was happening to his eyes.
He felt the magic reacting but then, it failed. His eyes continued to freeze, coalescing with agonizing pain and possible permanent damage from whatever that female... that demon had done. The pain... it fueled on a desperate rage. His eyes. What if he was blinded? What if he never saw again? He would never lay eyes upon his sweet sister again. It was her fault. She did this to him. He screamed again, using his paws to try and shovel away layers of ice but received only more agony. Where was she? Where had she gone? She'd ruined his eyes but not his ears or his nose.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME! I'LL RIP YOUR DAMNED THROAT OUT, YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" He screamed and lunged, running straight at her.
He would not give up now. She. Was. Dead. Even if it was the last thing he did.

Been a while since he has been to Polaris, just like Canis, his birthplace he has been avoiding it, this was where that vision he had taken place so the immense resemblance of the environment makes it easier for those horrifying images to show in his head. But still, there was still something about that vision that confused him, he was sure the being that he was seeing through the eyes of looked familiar, so he does wish to look for some answers as to what the hell happened. He was searching endlessly for something, that was stuck in the back of his mind that he forgotten, still he feels that he still hasn't remembered what he was looking for, that the answers to that vision wasn't what he forgotten to search for, like it was a plan he had since he was born but forgotten... A plan for the future, and the motive of it started to decay in his mind until there was nothing left and no memory about it.
Doesn't help how he really doesn't give a fuck to remember, he's letting it stay forgotten, so Albeon really isn't helping himself here, searching blindly for what this thing he forgotten about and yet isn't even attempting to remember. What does it matter? Who cares about anything right now?
He quietly lands and perches on a rock path to ease his wings, proceeding to hop onward, then he saw what looked like a little bit of a substance like he saw in the surface of the water in Fornax called steam. It seemed to drift from the left... Wondering if that's a threat he looks over and down to see a large amount of it on the ground that he is high above from. And he thinks he sees... Silhouettes in it too.
Whatever... Like I care... He was just about to turn away and ignore but then he heard a roar from one of the silhouettes which made his eyes widen in horror, looking over while he seen steam before... Never in this large amount and the roar, the location he is in... It's all coming back the vision... The smoke... The corpses... That roar... It all happened in Polaris and this here looks so similar. His mind goes out for a second it's replaying that vision again... He can't feel the physical pain this time but it's playing in his head again and in the present he sees the silhouette that roared attacking the other silhouette and a few seconds later it's screaming out all these horrible things... Albeon is too out of it recognize the voice of the bastard who he hates with passion Mosi.
So traumatised by the images that are in his mind and seeing a similar low key version scenario right now, that his wings are out and are gripping at his own feathers, pulling out some of the roots of them even. His vision is blurring from his current odd mental state. His small avian body hunched over with his throat closed up, making it a little troublesome to breathe. Alone right now with these sick and twisted images as the flashbacks once again flickered through his mind.
He... He can't take it anymore! Just stop! He's practically hypervigilant at this point. In amidst of his breakdown his stone is glowing a coloured aura but it's flickering very fast. The glow being very more intense, it seems like he was having a power surge from the immense stress he is having and his feelings are going out of whack he just wants that monster to leave innocents alone!
His scythe looking stone started to glow very brightly, his rage at this monster for being so cruel to a helpless is eating away at his mind, THEY. MUST. BE. TAUGHT. A LESSON! He may not be able to see the face but the body shape is there, so Budge WILL work! Crazed eyes focusing on the monster figure he prepares and when he is certain it's working for emphasis, he puts his head to the left and quickly snaps it to the right like he was trying to physically throwing something with his beak. To his surprise it did more than make them trip, they literally were thrown backwards, away from the other figure that it screamed the obscenities to, how far he doesn't know, doesn't care it's away from the one he wants to protect. Stunned a little Albeon realises he may have a new Spell again. He'll watch things from afar and unfold he feels numb again.

She immediately took off when she saw the ice welling up in his eyes. Still though that scream... WOW HAHAH! It's priceless! Utterly hilarious! That spell was definitely worth it! Just hear that reaction! She'd LIKE to SEE his expression in reaction, but that would never happen! She has utterly SCREWED his eyes up haha! Of course she was thinking all this, can't laugh now when she still has a pup's neck on her jaws to save. She does remember Albeon wanted her to inform him in regards to this guy, so she'll definitely tell him about this.
She hears the scream of empty threats, still though seems to really love those eyes of his huh? Well though she's as calm as ever, actually she's filled with glee over how hilarious this is, he's lost something he has loved it seems, has nothing in his life truly worthy of actual pride and is breaking out in pathetic ill-temper once again just as she predicted. Makes her wonder... Who's really winning here?
Still she's not done yet, need to really get him off her track, he's a canine like her so scent is something to consider. So with that comes her next plan, she moves her right paw over to her left leg in an attempt to get some fur off it.
It's a little hard to tear some fur off when she's running at full speed, no matter how agile she is, but she managed to do it, she thinks there's a small cut in it though, not enough for blood to ooze out though, having a far enough distance and not really looking back she threw the torn off fur in the direction opposite to where she is going, that may confuse his scent a little.

vega continued sleeping, his resting state seeming almost untouchable now, a magical force doing whatever it could to ensure his growth and survival. it'd take more physical pain to wake him at the moment.
as he slept, his brain developed rapidly, as would his body, albeit a little slower.notes: @mosi@rinaotei@albeon
