Atticus Becomes Ari's Demon

<Atticus> Atticus realized his mate was far to exhausted and decided to leave her be alone to enjoy her night, she had been cooped up for far too long, he decided to go out and hunt something for her at least, keep his family fed. He wondered into the nearby woods. The blackened wolf was seeking the river he snagged the large salmon from, he had been ignoring his own hunger for the sake of his family. Moving through the woods he sniffed out his recent trail, soon meeting up with the sound and smell of fresh water. The water splashing the sides, as the sound of a waterfall was close-by he scanned the waters, moving along the edge. He could see fish roaming beneath but none of the size he wanted, he'd have to settle for smaller versions. Finding a calm spot of water to stand in, getting his legs wet, as well as the rest of him, the splashing waters hitting the boulders and dousing him. He waited patiently for a fish to come flopping from the waters, patience and focus was held on his face as he studied the waters. Atticus a fond fighter, and an excellent hunter.-

<Ariseus> Her ears swiveled and spontaneously flicked side to side as Ariseus was getting bombarded by intrusive insects. A brash huff was expelled from her nostrils in annoyance at the intruding flies she was attempting to swat away with her ears. The forest had become a nest for such pesty creatures, but Ariseus was on a mission. After the incident with Creinire's death and Seprachul being denied her access to perfectly good meat, Ariseus had an idea. She wasn't exactly /close/ with Sep, but it was unfair to take away such a feast. Blazing optics navigated the surrounding trees, until she heard sloshing water near the creek. The Alpha headed off in the direction in which the sound originated, and she soon came across the male Atticus - who appeared to be fishing. She flopped gracefully down onto her rump, silently watching the male to see what skills he obtained.-

<Atticus> Atticus watched carefully, his tail raised above his backside as a fresh medium sized Salmon came approaching, with a quick jerk of his head, his snout was lunged into the waters, jaws parted as the fish came close to his paws, it was quick and accurate as he snatched the fish from the water,  seeing it flop within his jaws as he crunched down holding tight, he moved from the waters, paws careful treading through the rocky pebbles at the bottom of the rushing river, the hefty black wolf's pelt was soaked to the brim, but he was soon back on the dry land, moving from the waters, he placed the fish down and bit off it's head, tossing it to the birds. Picking off the meat slowly this meal was his tonight, but he noticed the scent of another lingering around, he was too hungry to acknowledge and so he kept eating, pressing a giant paw to hold the body in place.-

<Seprachul> She had inhaled, and her desires were cured. Sort of. Seprachul rather eat her own kind, the taste was much more pure and soothing. However, to fill this beast's stomach she had to at least take on something. And her nose caught the smell of fish. However putrid it was to her, she was hungry enough to ignore taste and textures. This female knew someone had already aimed to eat it, but she wasn't having it. Seprachul wandered over towards the creek where this large brute stood. How filthy, scars covered this male. She ignored his presence, and aimed for that tossed body part of whatever aquatic animal he had been eating. She didn't care which part was tossed, as for now, something to keep her stomach from shrinking was all that kept her going.-

<Ariseus> Ariseus was impressed by the fact that not only was Atticus an astounding fighter, but he was also a patient hunter. He was precise and hit like a fucking bull. She could feel folds of flesh being pulled on her cheeks as she couldn't help but think of what a powerful ally he was. Yes...he would be the one to help. First, he's gotta pass the test. With this, Ariseus came out of hiding as her tone was more soothing than her normal boisterous voice. She wasn't clearly demanding attention with her words - which was odd of her to do.- "So you're hunting mere fish now?"

<Atticus> Atticus ate his food slowly, a mannerable wolf despite his rugged appearance. Only to rise up and see it was Ariseus scent filling the air, he swallowed his meal and dipped his head, a courteous bow towards his Alpha, humbled and bless with her presence. The large male slowly rose upward, he looked down at his ravaged fish and folded his ears back."Well I cant hunt  large prey on my own..." His facial appearance still holding that stone cold look of hate and despise, but he enjoyed Ariseus and saw her as  a strong leader and ally, proud to serve her.-

<Seprachul> As this oranged-white wolf crunched on the skull of this fish, she was anything but satisfied. She let out a deepened snort from her chest, the wind from her lungs exiting very quickly through her now stained canines. Whatever, she had let that word bounce of the walls inside her cranium. She would wait until someone else did the dirty work for her, once again. She sat herself from a distance from the male that had killed this small fish.-

<Ariseus> "Too much weighing you down?" -Ariseus teased as she arose from her sitting position. She soon situated herself next to the male and gave him a gentle nudge with her shoulder colliding into his ribs. She was jabbing at the fact that he was one of the larger wolves among the pack, and normally this would in fact slow him down. Yet, he caught the fish perfectly fine.- "You caught that, didn't you?"

<Atticus> Atticus was big yes, but he knew how to hunt, using is methods of killing and fusing them with his self-taught skill for hunting."Not a lot, just want to feed my family." He was honest at least."Most of the time it's just luck, I have to be patient if I keep going at it I stir the water and scare the fish." He looked back towards the river.-

<Ariseus> An unnatural yet alluring rumble arose within the chambers of her nape as she watched Atticus mumble on and on about his methods. She calculated her words to him - understanding all possible outcomes before even spoken.- "...And you love your family?"

<Atticus> Atticus was taken by the female's next choice of words, why would she ask that question, quirking a brow he parted his jaws to reply."Of course...why do you ask?" He looked at her puzzled, surely she had a good reason to bring up his family, he was bound by loyalty to her, he looked at her with high respects.-

<Ariseus> Once he had answered, she paced around his side, brushing against him as she curled around his front and paused. Ariseus looked up at him with a furrowed brow and a slightly pursed lip.- "Are you more loyal to them than..me?

<Atticus> Atticus loved his family, but since Ariseus took him into her pack, he had surely changed him for the better. His past life was something he never spoke of, not even to Daedric, his loyalty layed with his Alpha, the leader he saw fit to obey and follow. He felt like she was going to ask him something...he and Ariseus did share the same ideals..while Daedric did not."I am loyal to them, but more loyal to some such as yourself." He had a toothy grin on his face, eyes cold and heartless, whatever she had in store he would do. He thought of himself as her own personal pet, nothing like Yasha, he was no chew toy, but a pawn ready to kill at her command.-

<Ariseus> Her beautiful yet chaotic irises remained locked onto the male's. He refused to look away as he spoke, showing her that he was either telling the truth or was a skilled liar. Whichever it was, she would find out eventually. Her fangs gleamed at his response, showing no visible ounce of denial.- "You know your place and you know where your loyalties lie...but do you know where you limits are?" -She was determined on pushing even further. The thoughts that plagued her mind in this moment were laced with deception, comfort, and violence. Oh...so much blood spill. Ariseus knew she wasn't the strongest in the pack, and she was in need of a loyal bodyguard. She was not above getting someone else do her dirty work for her - as long as she got to join in. Power laid within intelligence, but true power in a pack was in numbers.-

<Atticus> Atticus released a laugh, limits? he had no limits! He flickered his tail and stepped closer towards the female."Limits...whats the point in life if you have those..." He continued to smile, almost looking like the devils dog in the flesh. He had a dark side, and maybe this time he'd show it."Did you need me to kill someone? I would gladly do it for you." He bowed his head towards the female, that evil smile remained, as he looked up to the wolf with his blazing golden eyes, the scarred up male would easily forget his own morals, abandoning them if it meant making his Alpha happy and entertained, shedding blood was his specialty, he was forced to do it before by an unworthy leader, finally he sees one who holds up such honor.-

<Ariseus> A devious smile was hard to hide as it quickly took up the general vicinity of her face.- "Actually...I need you to do the opposite. I don't need death at the moment...I need life." -Her plan to avenge Seprachul was not for the faint of heart, and such acts fueled her sadistic side. General murders were too...boring these days. She needed something more complex to provide her with euphoria.-

<Atticus> He was confused, why did she need life? it was unknown to him, but he did have one request in mind for this favor. "Life? why do you need life?" Sure he had no idea, but he didn't want to admit the idea she had in-mind."If you want me to give away my seed... I will...but on one condition." He paused for a moment.."Don't tell my mate.." He mentioned, he didn't know how he would feel about having his seed roaming around, he despised mostly every female, and found them unworthy to carry his own, but Daedric was the exception. He didn't expect her to answer, it wasn't his place to demand or question her, he would do as told without complaint.-

<Ariseus> "Let me tell you what." -She huffed, still too indulged in the high she was getting from the thought of her malicious plotting.- "I won't tell your dear mate if you ignore the 'why'. Trust me, what comes after the breeding will be right up your alley." -Ariseus then swapped her entire demeanor to a lethal one. As if she had separate personalities and the evil twin had stepped forth.- "Do we have a deal?"

<Atticus> He trusted her whole heartedly, and paced around thinking about it. Fuck it. He turned towards her and nodded his head."You've got a deal." He said, whatever she had in store for him he was ready."I am merely but a pawn for you to use my liege." He bowed graciously accepting her offer, as dark as it sounded he didn't care as long as it would please the female. Atticus would never tell Daedric of this, she wouldn't understand and was far to stubborn to listen to him even if he tried to explain.-

<Ariseus> With Atticus doing her bidding, Ariseus was sure of leadership until she died of old age. She wouldn't dare demote him to an Omega role like the other pets of the pack. He deserved a much higher honour - but he would have to fight his way to the top. He would have the ability to do as he liked and make a name for himself, as long as he knew what his true purpose was. Atticus was certainly special, and the Alpha wasn't going to stop him from devouring as many souls as he pleased.- "You live for me, and I expect you to release your demons upon the weaker souls. Those voices are guiding you, you would be wise to listen to them." -She chuckled darkly at the male.- "We do not carry out my plan today, that is for another time. Return to your family for tonight; I will call you when I am ready."

<Atticus> He felt a rush out of this the old adrenaline building up from when he was a slave in a pit of death. He had a higher purpose for living and he found it here among this female. He felt blessed with her presence and her offerings. He would be black demon, a weapon utilized to destroy those who lay in her path to victory. He hadn't smiled so wide in a long time, finally someone who could see his worth and lust for excitement and blood. Licking his muzzle he lowered his head before her as she spoke, as if being knighted by a king, except she was his Queen, and he was her harbinger of death. Nothing like Yasha and Kraven were to their master's. Atticus was not a pet to be tossed around from owner to owner, he was meant for one and remained with one, following no other orders. He obeyed one voice now, and would uphold his loyalty to the death. He lifted his head up and moved past Ariseus, nodding and returning to his den, he wouldn't speak a word of this unto his mate.-
