[Mature]Werewolf: The Forsaken - Preludes

[Tokiwong]

Maybe it was time to consider the source.

Who are you?

"I am Kamduis Ur, daughter of Father Wolf… I am the Death Wolf," the massive she-wolf replies.

 

[Shayuri]

Hence the emphasis on her dying. Beautiful.

But she WAS kind of beautiful, really. In a lupine sort of way.

Annoyed, Ari shakes her head. Focus. Concentrate. One question left, just one question, and she had no idea where to go from here. Of course...well, that was a legit question wasn't it?

What should I do next?

Kind of a cop-out, maybe...but hey, she was a cop. And no one said she had to do as it said...she just wanted to know what it thought was important.

Moriarty smirks, removing his aviators, “Alright tough guy, take your knife and take your best shot, just me and you right now… right here on this street. You take me down, you send me to hell you and your butt buddy can walk out of here and do whatever the hell you want to do. I take you down, you come with us.”

Moriarty puts his arms wide, “So go for it?”

Buzz cocks her head, “You are weird.”

Piotr scratched his head, "Ah, I was never smart. You've lost me, young lady."

He turned to cast an appraising eye on Sherlock, then shook his head.

"Not pretty enough," he replied to Moriarty, laughing.

"Sherlock, I don't want to be chased around for being involved in a murder if you win. How about we humour them and go along anyway? I have no plans," Piotr takes a long drag on his cigarette, "You can worry about removing his manhood later if things turn sour. Hell, I'll help you."

"Thanks Max..." Faith says hugging the middle-aged man tightly. "I don't know why your helping me with all of this, I doubt that everyone would, but thank you for all of this." the teen says smiling before another woman walked into the room, an older woman at least compared to Faith, with a lusher more mature figure. At the woman's news Faith looked back and forth between the two older Uratha. "More...more like me, new Uratha? Are we going to be a pack? Are we all the same age?" Faith asks excitedly.

"So...a Cahalith? That sounds pretty cool," she smiles at Max as he tells her she is in good hands and makes to leave. "Thanks Max...do you think it'd be ok if I came to you for advice if I have problems adjusting?" the pink haired girl asks before her host can leave.

"Your name's subtle storm? Cool... how did you get it? Your the second were-wolf I have met with a name like that...do all werewolves get them eventually?"

"Looks like somebody allready did. 's true, though, I'll have enough trouble with the cops after fecking up tomatohead in there. If you really wanna see what he's gotta show, fine. Lead the way, Moriarty, me and Watson will follow.".

Moriarty replaces his aviators, “I hate dealing with you guys, always got to be hard headed…”

Buzz grins, “Well at least we avoided some violence. Pity though, I was hoping that someone would get cut up real good, I always enjoy the sight of blood. It makes me feel human in a way… but then again some people I am crazy.”

A little later…

Both Piotr and Drake are brought to an old warehouse. The gang with Moriarty stands outside just Moriarty escorts them inside. Waiting is a woman with a mixture of native American and Hispanic features. She has an intense beauty, short dark hair and olive complexion skin give her an exotic look. She stands alone shaking her head, “Took you long enough Moriarty.”

“They were not exactly forthcoming,” he replies sheepishly.

She looks less then amused, “You can leave now,” she says dismissing Moriarty with an order and focuses on Drake and Piotr, “I am Rachel Snow alpha of the Echoes of Thunder; you two have caused a great deal of trouble. Oh and don’t mind Moriarty, he is an idiot, but a useful idiot.”

“Although from what I gather about you,” she gestures to Drake, “you are not much better.”

Faith

Max pauses at the door, “I help because I know that we can only succeed together, as a people. Remember that Faith and I will provide what guidance I can.” The venerable wolf leaves.

Subtle Storm takes a moment to think before replying, “I don’t know how old they will be, they may be the same age they may be older, basically they will be like you, young in the ways of the uratha. You will be defined by your actions now, not your human age.”

The woman pauses, “They can but not all uratha take deed names, but the act is quite common among our people. Some are earned, some are coined by the individual wolf. Mine was given to me during my rite of passage, it recognizes my tribe, the Storm Lords and my abilities.”

Ariella

Ariella sees the she-wolf pause for a moment before turning away from her. Death Wolf speaks, “You must find others like yourself and become a pack; defend them as if they are your kin, for in time they will be. You must learn, but first you must swear yourself to always pay each spirit in kind. Swear to this.”

 

[Shayuri]

Ariella stares at the larger wolf, agape. Dimly she becomes aware that her tongue lolls out of her mouth when she leave it open like that, and hastily closes it.

Pay each spirit in kind? I don't even know what that means. I know I've had my four questions, but how can I swear to do something I don't even understand?

“I have answered your four questions. Now swear or leave my presence,” Death Wolf replies.

"I'll remember it Max, I promise." Faith tells him as he leaves, and she honestly meant it, Max was the nicest werewolf that she had met to date and she did want to keep on his goodside, but in truth she was a people person, or a people wolf, or whatever was appropriate for what she was now. She felt more alive around people, and being alone frightened her, self-contained the pin haired teen was not. From what she had heard, the Cahalith truly was right sign for her, and for that she was thankful to the Lord and Lady, who she was trying to readjust in her mind into Father Wolf and Mother Luna.

"Ok, so if we are going to all be new to being Uratha, will there be people to teach us what we need to know? And how do we know that all of the new werewolves will be able to get along enough to form a pack? If we are suppoused to be as close as Max said..." Faith asked the matronly stormlord trailing off since she didn't want offend her.

The pink haired teen's brow furrows in confusion at the inclusion of tribes in this whole Uratha thing. "I understand about Auspice I guess, but what are these tribes? Storm Lords sounds impressive, but what does it actually mean, and what are the tribes?"

“Yes, there will be those that will aid you as a pack,” she replies, "But I cannot say if you will all get along... but I pray that you will."

The pink haired teen's brow furrows in confusion at the inclusion of tribes in this whole Uratha thing. "I understand about Auspice I guess, but what are these tribes? Storm Lords sounds impressive, but what does it actually mean, and what are the tribes?"

“We are impressive, there are five tribes of the Forsaken; each tribe serves a mighty wolf totem. This is much to take in all at once so I won’t get into too much detail but the tribes you will hear about are the Blood Talons, Bone Shadows, Hunters in Darkness, Iron Masters, and the Storm Lords. There are also Ghost Wolves, those that run without a tribe but they are the exception to the rule… and the Pure Tribes,” Subtle Storm adds.

“As far as what it means, it is an affiliation… a group that you belong to, a larger entity of support. But I can’t into much more then that at this point,” she adds.
