((I make such over-dramatic titles. xxD))
Blood Hill was truly bloody. Cerberus had made a large circle in the middle of the camp, covered with great mouths of caves, and animal bones strewn about. The circle was decorated with bones- though these weren't ordinary bones. The bones that Cerberus put in the camp were those of mice, rabbits, squirrels... all sorts of inferior beasts.
At the top of Blood Hill, there was a great totem pole of bones, these bones mostly being the skulls of badgers, skunks, foxes, other wolves, snakes, and even a few giant fish. This was to represent the true pride of the Wolf Pack.
Cerberus grinned, this being the first time that the creature had come back after talking with a cat. He set a gigantic amount of prey on the ground, having stole many animals from Emberclan territory.
"May all of the canine hellspawn of the land swarm around Blood Hill! Your master comes with news!" The black, shadowy monster sat and patiently waited.
He noticed two figures immediately dashing out, one of which had a gruesome hole for an eye- ugh. Even Cerberus shuddered when he saw that empty eyesocket. He knew who those two wolves were- Nasir and Ena. Reliable. Very reliable... now he just had to wait for the other pack members to come.

A small silver shape poked his head out from the ridged, ears pricked up and alert. Zephyr flinched a bit at the sight of the deltas, and looked to his leader. A meeting, it seemed. What news would come? The little sigma thingyed his head as his pads took him closer to the totems. He admired his leader for his power, and strength in battle. Of course, creatures this young had no idea what lurks in the mind of evil.
Eternal sighed, and padded out behind Zephyr the sigma. What now? She peered at Nasir and Ena, and gave a short nod, trying not to flinch, and turned to her leader, dipping her head. There had to be news, and good news at that.

A sleek black figure slowly padded toward the large hill. The tempting scent of prey filled her keen nose as her bright yellow optics looked at the right. She stopped to see Nasir and Ena. Delta, no doubt. Better stay away. She looked up at Cerberus. Something inside her told the young wolf to hate him, but she didn't have her in her to do it.
The fea calmly sat down, her eyes almost screaming pain. She sighed before looking up at Cerberus. She hated being the only Eplison around, but Kiami was delighted not to have the pack leader as a mentor. As she thought, she remembered that she didn't have one of her own. Someone to boss her around is the black wolfess's definition of a mentor. They never taught, only commanded.

Cerberus smirked. "As you can all see, our pack numbers are low. But, good news. There are cats around here, and they cower before my appearance. They don't know of wolves, nor will they ever. We'll slaughter them before they get a chance to figure out what we are." He chuckled.
Nasir blinked his one eye curiously. "And... the reason for calling us, Lordship?" Cerberus nodded his shaggy head briefly. "We're already getting one clan to do our bidding. We'll reap them of their food supplies, take over their lands, and then kill them. They're easier to catch when they're weak, anyway. Ah. Yes. My little hellions, I know you will serve me well when we attack."
Ena yawned briefly, simply because the fine-built wolf hadn't gotten very much sleep. "When shall we attack them, Alpha?" Cerberus looked at Ena as well. "We'll attack them when they gather. One area here, with four waterfalls, has a curious mingling of scents. Rancid cat stenches are everywhere- this is obviously a gathering place of sorts. That is why we shall arrive there, and kill every creature we can- that, and make hostages out of the little ones."
Nasir gained a wicked grin on his face. "Shall we bring along the apprentices, Cerberus?" "Oh, yes, of course. They'd love to get a taste of feline blood. It's quite delicious, mind you. Are you sure you'll be up to it, one-eye?" This degrading nickname was always used for Nasir, and the cold wolf had grown used to being mocked by everybody- even Cerberus. "Yes, lord. Yes. Me and Ena are a team, and we can take down any foe."
"Good to hear that from my Deltas. Anybody else want to share any strategies on taking over this land?"

Eternal twitched her ears. "Cerberus, what if these cats are stronger than you think? They definitely outnumber us, by a lot. What do you think we are to do? What if they fight back?" she barked.
Zephyr stared. She did have a point. Oh, well... the cats were half the size of them. They wouldn't stand a chance against the wolves.

"So? The mice outnumber us a million to one, and are they attacking us? Oh, don't tell me you're afraid of mice, Eternal. That would be quite a shame..." Cerberus said, in his cynical humor. "Yes, yes. I'm shaking in my paws because fluffy little cats are everywhere. We can easily kill all of them. They don't know that their claws can only give us small, minor scratches. Hah. It's not like they can put an eye out- besides, old one-eye already got an eye put out by old Bloodwatch, didn't he? So he won't have to worry about those kitty claws."
The young Delta was boiling with anger, though Nasir knew Cerberus was testing his patience, so the beast held his tongue. Cerberus had twisted ways of wearing his pack's patience thin. This was just one of those many situations. Ena merely shook her head. "Master, there aren't very many of us." "So? We'll surround them, and attack."

"My Lord, what if the cats are smarter than what we think? Sure, they might not have fangs like she do, but they might use their claws and thier heads. I hear of a special band of cats that one of the smartest. These clan cats though..," Kiami said. Her body could easily be smelt with fear and her orbs were filled with terror as well. She regreted speaking up. She only heard of Rogues and Loners from her mother, but she never mentioned anything about Clan cats. Her bushy black tail stayed completely still and she dared not look at Cerberus.

Zephyr nodded a bit, whipping his tail back and forth, and then shook his head. "Nah... They're too /stupid/ to stand against us, obviously. I mean, we're wolves, and they're cats!"

"Aha!" Cerberus crowed. "At last. Zephyr, you promising pup, you're right!" Cerberus seemed to, for once, look happy in a non-sadistic way. "These cats prance around alone, while we use teamwork and power. Don't you see? This'll be easier than crunching a leaf!" He nodded in a satisfactory way. "You, my young Sigma, are proving to be quite the bright and powerful wolf. How would you like to be at my side when we attack the weak cats?"
Nasir and Ena said nothing, knowing that Cerberus was far more cunning- and ferocious than both of them combined. The one-eyed male flicked his tail. "So, Cerberus. When we get more spawn, all Deltas will recieve Sigmas and Epsilons of their own?" "Yes, one-eye, yes." Ena grinned. "Oh, wonderful. We'll pass on our expertise and make each generation more lethal than the next- excluding you, of course, my lord. You'll always be the most powerful, as long as you shall live."
Cerberus nodded calmly. "Good. Meanwhile, my beasts, we're going to need to scare the claws off of these cats... we'll need to invade every single territory. Maybe kill a cat or two."

"Very well," she said as she looked down at her sharp silver claw. Cerberus had to be right. They had the smarts and teamwork to take down the clans. Kiami yawned, wondering when the meeting would be over. She might just go back to wandering around the terra.

Zephyr nodded happily at his leader's proposition. "I'll be ready to fight for the pack!" he howled. "We'll win the forest back in less than a moon, right? And we'll be ready!"

Cerberus howled loudly, "Hah! And, alas, my good friends, we must scare the enemy! We shall /all/ go into their camps. Their homes. Yes, that's right. We're going in..." He grinned wickedly. "In groups of two. We're going to give them a fairly nice warning- leave the forest, pay a heavy tribute, or fall where they stand. How does that sound...?" He chuckled. "Yes, I know. We will all be hungry for cat blood, but we must first leech the enemy of their supplies."
Ena was in slight awe at Cerberus's thought-out plans. For a tyrant, he was quite good...
"The groups shall be assigned. Me and Zephyr will go to the territory of the icy ones, Nasir and Delta will go to the land of the ones shrouded by the forest, and Ena and Kiami shall go to the area of the ones in the stars. The fiery ones have already fallen before my might- their leader has, at least. I suppose it will be easy."
Nasir flinched, the one-eyed wolf wondering if Delta would be disgusted by him. "My lord... when shall we be back?" "After we're done, Nasir. That should be obvious. Kill all who protest."

((What about Eternal?))
Zephyr nodded. He hoped he was ready. No matter, he was prepared to rip anything that stood in his way to pieces. "Very well, Cerberus," he growled, and began to paw the ground, out of excitement.
Eternal also nodded. "As you wish..."

((Whoops. Change Delta to Eternal.
xxD I wouldn't wanna be stuck with Nasir. Sure, he's dang good at tracking, hunting, and killing, but that eye makes me sick. O.o))
Cerberus lunged down from the Blood Hill. "Good. All of you, eat all that you can, and get ready to leave. We're all going."
Nasir looked at Eternal, slight shame seeming to fill himself. He turned his head so his mutilated eye socket with its nasty scar couldn't be seen. "I apologize if you're afraid of going with me. I would too, after the reflections I've seen in the water. But alas, you'll just have to deal with the fact that my eye's been ripped out and there's a hole in its place."

Taima sighed as she turned around to leave. Could of been worse. She could of gone with Cerberus. If she did, she wouldn't survive until tomorrow. She paused, looking back at Eternal and Nasir. Frankly, she wouldn't mind going with Nasir. Ena was good though she didn't know anything about the female Delta.
On a nearby tree, sat a small figure. Sharp yellow eyes glared at Cerberus. "Plotting against kittens, eh?" said a female voice, evil and cunning. As what small light there was shone on the figure, a slender cat watched the leader. The black and white cat had watched the whole thing and was quite impressed. All of the canine she met were stupid. She smiled, having a pleased look on her face. It was quite fun, giving them scars and forcing them to fear her.
Some might think she would miss that place. Surprisily, she did. It was so much fun watching them cower. These wolves, though... They seemed smarter than the other pack she met.
