It's Name Lives Up

[Overture & Arrow]

Terpsickory slowly glided on her black paws along the shore of Death Falls. A sigh came out of her throat as she remembered what happened here. Where her father fell and she almost died. Death Falls truly did live up to it's name.
The beautiful tracker bent over to look at her reflection in the river.

[Cerberus]

Cerberus padded in casually, emotionlessly trampling the grass in his terrible wake. His tail was down, waving a bit as he moved from side to side, head lowered as he smelt the aroma of the fresh, almost salty water. The rocks jutted out of the stream soon after the booming cataract shot down, sending foam and vapor everywhere, and the wolf lowered his head and greedily lapped up as much as he could, listening to the fluttering of wings as dismayed ducks flew away, quacking madly.

The beast looked at the fine she-wolf and her snowy appearance. Those calm eyes... that swift body... never had Cerberus considered such things before. Lifting his dripping snout, the dog luxuriously stretched out his paws before glancing at Terpsickory. "Tell me... why is it that you seem so sad?" Cerberus did act nice- it was just very rare for him to do it. Even the coldest of wolves has some kind of soft spot.

It reminded him of Calliope, that one playful she-wolf who he had been interested him. He would have had her... gah! That wretch of a puppy! He felt ashamed to even think of having such a whining, whimpering little furbag! He hid his rage in a sociopathic matter, knowing that his anger was strong enough to be scented by even the wolves with the dullest and numbest of noses. He shook his head. "It seems we both have something on our mind, here at this place flowing with the essence of Lady Moon."

[Overture & Arrow]

The snowy wolf looked up at the one who had just entered. Her eyes emotionless as she sat down again. Another sigh escaped her throat and she opened her mouth to talk. "Everyone sees me as my father's daughter, not Terpsickory. It's not my fault he was an Omega..." Her voice said, a bit shaky. "This is where he died, back when I was a pup." She said, motioning her nose to the highest peak. "There was ice.... he fell, and almost took me with him" her voice shook violently as she splashed at her reflection with her black paw.

[Cerberus]

"Omegas. Pah." The Alpha spat, looking at the Tracker. "I never enjoyed them, but judging by blood is a foolish thing to do. Hmmph. Disgusting Omegas." The snarling, brutal creature spat once again, before looking at Terpsickory. "You know... we share something in common. We both are judged by our blood..." He found himself quietly circling the female wolf. "Your father was a fool, a wretched thing. Mine was an arrogant, egotistical leader, who fortunately died before I had to kill him myself. Hmmph." The beast chuckled darkly, before focusing on Terpsickory.

"You remind me of the old love I had who died when giving birth to the most worthless spawn ever. That monster's been thrown out into cat lands, fortunately... and yet. You... you're a fine maiden. Lady Moon has blessed you completely with a wonderful body..." The canine sauntered forward, his eyes glittering. "And Lord Sun has darkened my fur to be as black as the night- and yet, we seem to be perfect for each other. If you catch my drift, sweet wolf..." Cerberus seemed to croon- though it was in a twisted way, Cerberus wasn't actually being all that sarcastic, as he continued to circle Terpsickory. "This is a new generation. We shall kill the cats, spread their blood, and we will be the rulers. We shall be more important than the ones who gave birth to us. We shall stand alone. And I believe you shall be one of the many mighty wolves at my side..."

He grinned a wolven grin. "You truly are a wonderful creature... far more wonderful than that excuse for a Beta."

[Overture & Arrow]

((My posts are shorter than yours! I feel imferior! *pouts*))

Terpsickory's eyes glinted with humor as she too began to circle the Alpha. "Why thank you" She said with a smug smile. "But I'm not sure if I catch your drift." All traces from the sadness her father left in her throat disappeared as she found her blue-sparkling eyes looking deep into his. "I'm a tracker. I'm no stinking Zeta." her eyes once again sparkled with humor. "I thought you were supposed to be the bad guy?"

((Not you personally. Just Hackle. xD Cerberus is just mean. Haha!))

[`Avvy]

((hehe i knowzles... anyways still...... meep lol))

[Cerberus]

"True, true. I am the bad guy. I'll be it right now." His tail shot up and bristled, expressing his dominance, and he let out a blood-chilling snarl, and nipped at Terpsickory- though, it was in a playful way.

"Come now, bow down to the 'evil one'." He laughed. "A Zeta. Who's to say you have to be one? You can run around even while you have pups, knowing you. You could run with one leg." He brushed against the she-wolf quietly, grinning a bit. "I'll be back, you seductive creature, you..." He mumbled, a twinkle in his eye as he quietly padded off.

He couldn't believe he was daring to court another wolf.

[Overture & Arrow]

((Wait, don't go yet!))

Terpsickory pawed at her ear as she followed the Alpha. "You expect me to bow down to you?" She said with a laugh. "I follow my own rules." She said passing him and cutting him off. "I'm not afraid of you."

[Cerberus]

Cerberus halted, grinning at the spunky attitude of the she-wolf. "Really?" He said, calmly passing her. "That's one thing I like about you. Maybe you'll pass it down to the pups, hmm?"

The black monster chuckled slightly, yawning. Terpsickory looked to be a promising wolf... he could only imagine what potential catkillers his spawn could be. He laughed even more. "And I'm not afraid of you, either. Of course, why should we be afraid? Backstabbing is a wolf's way, we should be used to it." He winked a bit, locking his eyes with that of the tracker. "You know, we're perfect opposites. And, when parents are both opposites, their children are perfect, hmm?"

[Overture & Arrow]

"What If I don't want pups?" Terpsickory said defiantly, tail swishing angrily back and forth.

[Cerberus]

"Tsk. Such a shame that would be. I'd have to resort to cannibalism, then, wouldn't I? What a wonderful thought." He said sarcastically, grinning almost innocently. "You know, you really do remind me of her. Not that I'd judge you compared to her. She was nothing. You are everything. She created a monster... you would make the most powerful pups in the world." He grinned viciously.

"And, once I take over this territory, you would get to rule it with me. Now, don't you think that's worth having pups?" He snarled, though he snarled in a mocking way.

[Overture & Arrow]

Terpsicory's jowls turned into a smile. "I'll think about it" She said smoothly. "Try not to embarass yourself untill then"
With that, the beautiful tracker turned and left.
