Zephyr stood up, tail erect, growling. "Cerberus! There's a cat in the territory!" he snarled, and took a leap towards the black and white figure. "Back off, kitty!"
Eternal shook her head at Nasir. "It's fine. My own brother had both ripped out, by ravens. They thought he was already dead. In fact, he was half-dead. And he is dead now," she said.

Cerberus laughed. "Calm, Zephyr, calm. Even one cat can't handle all of us. I can feel the ego radiating from that tree. Quite a foul stench, no? I could rip that kitty into slivers, if need be. Even if I get a few rips and tears in the process."
Cerberus showed no fear, walking up to the tree, grinning as he looked up into its branches. "Well, cat, I can tell you aren't from those clans. A loner, hmm? Go ahead, loner, jump on my face. You know you want to."
Nasir and Ena looked at each other as if Cerberus had gone crazy, and Nasir looked at Eternal. "Ah... that's... nice to know. At least I can scare enemies. Hmmph. Cerberus may be the Black Phantom, but apparently I'm the White Cyclops..."
"That should be your heart name, Nasir. Cyclops." Ena said cheerfully- most wolves referred to a last name of sorts as a heart name, one that a creature picked out for him or herself. Ena was obviously trying to make the most out of a gruesome situation.
Cerberus yawned boredly as he looked up the tree. "Tell me, loner, whatever your name is. How about we strike up a deal?"

"Why would I be stupid enough to attack one such as you? I do not fear you, but I respect you. I am Tsukeru, a rogue," said the cat cooly. This might be her chance to rid of the clans here. "What sort of deal did you have in your mind?" she asked with a smirk.
Her tail swished side to side. The pack would smart, powerful, and wonderful at teamwork, but they would need more knowledge. More knowledge about how the clans worked, how they thought, how they got things done. If she didn't know, the newest member of the rogues did.
Kiami stopped, turning around to face the cat. She slowly walked toward then halted, a few feet behind Cerberus. 'He must be planning something,' she thought, staring at him.

Ooh. Cerberus was liking this. He actually looked at Tsukeru and lowered himself to her level- not in an aggressive way.
Nasir thought Cerberus must have hit his head against a rock- since when did Cerberus level himself to a cat? He said nothing, knowing this cat was different.
"Ah. You, my good friend, are a wolf in a cat's body. We could use your services well. We know little of the lore and legends in these lands... feline knowledge is what we beasts require. You could also be a good spy. You have many uses... and I can scent your desire to be rid of the clans. We can work together. How does it sound?" Cerberus almost grinned.
Ena mumbled something. "Lord, I have heard of a thing called Starclan. The cats seem to refer to this 'Starclan' as their god. What do you think?" Cerberus acknowledged the information. "Lady Moon would hate such an idiotic thing, this Starclan. Tell me... how does it sound? We work together. You get very good prey- skunks, badgers, any animals that you please, and we will annihilate the clans and both be satisfied. How does it sound?"

Eternal shifted her paws. "Cerberus, how do you know we can trust this cat? She seems odd. How do you know she is not a spy for the others-- the cats we wish to destroy?" she growled.

"Because she has no scent of the cats. If she was even within a mile of a clan cat, I could smell it freshly. Simple. She is a rogue, plain and simple. An ally... with a goal." Cerberus nodded.
Nasir looked. "And if your scents fail you...?" "They won't, Cyclops, they won't." Nasir almost groaned- ugh. /Another/ nickname.

"I don't ally myself with just anyone. Only ones that I think or wothy of I disagreeistance and that I think have what it takes. I'm not too sure as a spy. That life might drive me insane, but my one of allies could do it. She could trick anybody into anything," Tsukeru said.
"Your offer. It sounds very attempting. I will help you in any way I can," said the black and white cat with a smirk. She had to be careful though. Cerberus reminded her of her own father. Focused on ridding the clan cats. He talked with a band of cats from the city, but he never kept his promises and betrayed all allies. It ended in his death.
"StarClan is a silly thing. Clan cats look up to StarClan, thinking dead cats will solve all their problems. It's just a tale that a leader spreaded long ago to make the clan cats obey them. One thing though... Don't ever call me a loner. Loners are cowards and weak. They fight for nothing."

"Alas. Tsukeru, then. And, good. You seem to be the leader of the rogue felines. Good. We wolves will align ourselves with you rogues for the cause of killing. Hmm. Good, good. This is going better than I thought. We're already planning on scaring all of the cats and demoralizing them- a good tactic, so they won't fight back and will be killed easily. Tell me... is there any place, Tsukeru, where cats happen to gather? I found a horribly strong stench at a place where four waterfalls gurgled. Lady Moon guided me there..."
Nasir nodded. "Ah, yes, a wonderful thing, she is, watching over us, her children."

"When the moon is full, the cats gather at the four waterfalls. An excellant place to attack would be there. Lady Moon must be your god," she said. The wolves' tactic was wonderful. She loved to attack the cats one-by-one. She never had the ability to scare them.
An idea came to her. Her kin would be perfect. "Cerberus, I have a kit, or pup, of my own. She'll make an excellant spy since she wishes to follow in my footsteps. She smirked, hoping the leader understood what she was getting at.

"Good. Good. I get your point. That's one reason why I'm here." He smirked as well, nodding at Youkai. "Indeed. Lady Moon is the very thing that hovers above us at night. Lord Sun is also one, though he is far inferior to Lady Moon. Half of the year, the Lady is dominant far longer than the Lord..." He chuckled. "That is our prime time of rituals and celebrations. And spies are.. wonderful." He grinned even more.
"With your assistance, and with our born strategies, we should be good. I'm certain one small wolf could take fifteen fully-grown cats without any effort." Nasir nodded. "Indeed. Cerberus already highligted the plan." Cerberus now knew that the cats were at the waterfalls.
"Our minds think alike, Tsukeru. They'll be boxed in. Better yet, the area is circular. One wolf- Nasir, you have the loudest call, shall howl. That should be enough, since we have all showed our howling to the clan cats. They'll run in fear- we'll be surrounding the area, shrouded by shrubbery. We'll pick them off when they run..."

Tsukeru nodded. "I must now leave you, Cerberus. The rogues need me at the moment. I shall return with Nasha and Adder," she said as she looked at each of the wolves. She turned around and headed out of the camp. Her tail swished back and forth as she thought of the chaos that both wolf and rogue could cause.

"Farewell, Tsukeru. Best of luck." Cerberus chuckled even more. At last. A powerful ally that was actually useful... and Cerberus knew he would be useful to the rogues. He turned back to the wolves, briefly nodding. "Well. I believe we no longer have the need to send all of our forces to the territories of the cats. We already have knowledgable allies... I have a plan. And it involves this wretched Starclan that the clan cats believe in..."

Darkened wench of ebony design lurked into the realm, foul mood plain for all to see. She had run into a large tom cat, close to 'er size, who had taken a shred of 'er left tower as 'is own, and in doing so had proceeded to fall to 'is death. She cursed e'rself angrilly, however, for being stupid enough to let the tom get close 'nough to strike in the first place.... 'er eagerness to get to the rest of the pack had proceeded 'er caution, and it had run 'er in the direction of danger. A stupid, foolish move indeed, one she would not soon repeat. Appearing from the shadows like a fallen angel of the Lady Moon 'erself, she skulked confidently into the center of the clearing, and sat atop the large hill, staring at them all. Drops of crimson liquid still came down to curse the sod with a maddening drip-drip noise from 'er aud, but she cared not. Silky lyrics seeped forth from 'er deadly parted kissers; this mouth of fangs had greeted many a felines demise. Cruel smirk formed 'pon 'er normally poker-straight face; humor flashed in usually cold eyes. Tones were measured and precise; betraying no emotion of 'er inner soul.
*Miss me?* |

Cerberus swung back to watch that vain fool who he considered to be a bit annoying for a beta. He glared at Hackle, his tail bristling, though he kept it down in a deceptively friendly way. A bloody smile curled on his tainted gums, and he pretended to fawn over the female. "Oh, yes, I missed you terribly, sweet Hackle." He crowed in sarcasm, pretending to roll over, only to quickly get back up. "You missed the meeting. And it looks like a kitty got you. Hmm. A little cat. I can tell what pathetic wounds are cat scratches." He swung his head at the pack. "Dismissed. All of you. We shall prepare to attack when Lady Moon fully reveals herself and the cats gather at the waterfalls. Until then, feel free to wander this land- even if you kill a cat or two." He winked malevolently and sprang off, heading out of sight to get water.
Nasir and Ena obeyed, scattering off like two twin bullets.

Eternal quivered for a moment, then nodded, speeding odd.
Zephyr looked at his leader for a second. "Cerberus, when do we strike..?" he barked.
