WELCOME TO RAYVEN'S REIGN.

[♖ daithos]

Henari walked past the countless street vendors, looking into their stands, searching for suitable gifts for her children and husband.
"hmm....these streets were so different in the days of the samurai....."
a man walking behind her whistles in a sexual way.
"hey! you! come here!"
he yells. she ignores him, and continues on.
"damnit! i said come here!" the man yells as he chases after her.
Henari walks into an alley, and the man follows.
"you must not hear very well! when a man says stop, you stop, you stupid whore!"
at these words, Henari creates a sword of transparent light, and grabs him, slamming him into athe left wall of the alley.
"what was that, insect? did you say something?"
she raises the blade up to his throat.
"you called me a whore, didnt you?" she says coldly.
henari throws him to the ground.
"you should start running, if you value your life."
the man runs off, and leaves her alone in the alley. she jumps the high concrete wall, and lands in a park, where she sees the moon and stars shining brightly.
"how beautiful"

[♗ NarRaay]

ugh She thought, wrinkling her nose at all the smells mixed together, dirty street people, drunk people, all kinds of food, and vomit...it didn't mix well. If she wasnt mistaken she smelled pee too, it was a rank stench that seemed to lace through the undertones of the smells here. A sneer pulled at her face, that look of disgust very apparent in her bright, emerald green eyes. Why did the humans have to bunch together in places like this? It made for good hunting yes, but there were poor choices, and it was very apparent she wasnt eating take out tonight. The variety of the humans here just wasnt to her liking, she might find a better buck to feast on, at least it wouldnt smell like raunchy human.

This in mind she began wandering off towards a park she had seen, passing through a few alleys on her way. One eyebrow rose as she stopped to watch a human guy run her way, hit her shoulder, stumble and look at her with terror. Amusement briefly flashed in her eyes, and she thought about giving chase for a moment, but instead issued a low, warning growl to him. "watch where you're going dumb ass..." Then watched him continue on his way, running like a bat outta hell, humans were amusing sometimes...

With a snort at the weak species Nar turned and began walking in the same direction, finding the park easily and slipping into the trees' shadows. Someone else was there, she could smell it, and see her, but being her anti-social self, she hung back in the shadows and watched with narrowed eyes, the scar below one of them exceptionally silvery tonight.

[♖ daithos]

"there is no use hiding in the shadows, even at night, werewolf. the light of the moon betrays you."
she turns and looks at narray, her long ebony hair, and white kimono with golden trim glimmering in the moonlight of the unlit park. she looked at narray, scanning over her.
"you are young, werewolf. you do not smell of the gray back line. your bloodline is newer than that, and i sense great power in you."
she walked towards a cobblestone path.
"you may follow if you wish. this path leads past the Suzumushi-dera temple close to the mountains. though i advise you to stay on this path when it nears the river. there are worse things in there than there are in this city."
henari then turned, and began walking on the unlit path, disappearing into the darkness.

[♗ NarRaay]

One of her eyebrows rose in response to being addressed, "Who says I'm hiding? Maybe I just prefer the shadows to the moonlight, worried I might tilt back and howl at the moon..." The last line was said dripping with sarcasm, she was really bad at conversing with people, usually ended up pissing someone off, or getting mad herself. Needless to say, when she tried to talk to people, bad things tended to happen...

"Nice to know how i smell, thanks" Again, sarcasm was laced through her words, her conversational skills needed some work, but its not like she made an effort to talk to people. Talking was useless, she was better off just eating people and keeping to herself, people often took the venom in her words too heavily and either ran, or picked a fight. She personally preferred to just ignore them, but if one got on her nerves enough she definitely wouldnt take it sitting down. Nor those who thought it was their job to touch her, and point out her 'good looks', yeahno, that didnt fly either.

The last thing the woman said had a snort of laughter trailing from her lips though, follow her...the idea. "And why exactly do you assume I want to follow you? Honestly I'd rather not...you reek of light, love...and.." She gave a theatrical sniff. "Is that a tinge of reincarnation?" She gave a fake pleasant smile that just dripped with honey, and said "So yeah, thanks for the invitation...but no thanks..." Then fluttered her fingers in a shooing motion...

[♖ daithos]

henari turned in repsonse to narraay's words.
"there is no point in being so venomous, young one. and you do not stink at all. you smell very nice. and i love your clothes. i wish i could find those in my size." she sighs.
"but, ever since the children were born, i have had trouble losing some of the baby weight. ugh, 5 children. that is what im trying to recover from."
she turned to walk away, when another voice sounded off from within a tree.
"Hey! henari!" called out a female voice. Ascenia dropped down from the branches of the tree, and walked over to her.
"Znaniya and the kids were getting worried about you, so i went out looking for you. you know how your granddaughters are if you go missing for more than 3 hours."
Ascenia looks over at Narraay.
"who's the were mutt? is she following you?!" asks ascenia. she pulses out her wolf god presence, and bares her fangs.

[♗ NarRaay]

She rolled her eyes, even as a slight pang on envy traveled through her gut, kids...something she couldnt have, yet yearned for, she could care less about the man. Nar was one of the closest things to a black widow you could find, if she could have kids, she would more than likely kill their father. Men were something that sickened her almost as much as the niceness Henari exuded, though she did enjoy tearing guys apart, it was fun to see the look of pain on their face. It was almost like she was taking her anger at her father out on them...but children...they were the only thing she found in her heart to love...

Pursing her lips she narrowed her eyes at Ascenia, troubled with the fact that she hadnt smelled the girl. But snorted out laughter at the godly exuberance, "you dont scare me, and you should watch who you call mutt" A completely fake look of innocence filled her petite face, which contrasted oddly with her scar. "I mean, with your own wolfiness i could call you the same..." Then she rolled her eyes and leaned back against the tree. "but to answer your question, no, i have no interest in following her, the niceness makes me sick to my stomach...hate to barf all over the pretty little thing she's wearing" Yup, she just wasnt a good conversationalist...and being threatened didnt help really...

[♖ daithos]

Ascenia looks at Narraay with pity.
"at least i'm not from a race of mangy barbarians like the werewolves."
she walked up to narray.
"and by the way, dont let this young face fool you, youngling. i have been on this earth since before greyback's 87 times great grandparents were even a twinkle in their parent's eyes."
she got in her face.
"and your little sarcastic remarks and facades of innonence and such, make you look weak. no wonder you were more thanb likely abandoned or something by your parents."
she stood there, and stared into narraay's eyes.
henari got a troubled look on her face.
"Ascenia! stop! you need to calm dow-"
"Henari, not now! stay out of this!" ascenia yelled at henari.

[♗ NarRaay]

A clawed hand shot up and whipped across Ascenia's face, hopefully leaving claw marks. "get out of my face for one..." There was real venom in her words now, a growl building in the back of her throat, her teeth gritted. "two, get your facts straight stupid ass, i was beaten not abandoned" Now she was the one in Ascenia's face, a muscle in her jaw twitching as she held back from hitting the girl. "And three, I dont need your damned pity, being a 'mangy barbarian werewolf' isn't too bad, perhaps you should try it..." Her eyes flashed a deep scarlet, the change sudden and quick, red eating up the clear green quickly, and then the cold, glinting green reappearing. "So why dont you back the hell off, because i didnt do shit to you, or miss sweety pie over there..." She practically spit the words out, glaring into the other's eyes.

[♖ daithos]

the swipe of the claws across her face healed instantly. she was about to strike back, when two voices screamed out.
"you stay away from her!"
a small rain of blue flames and ice rained down from behind Narraay. the ice struck her, and the flames barely singed her. a ring formed around ascenia, and she vanished in a flash of green light.
henari just stood there, looking on with a disdainful look on her face.

[♗ NarRaay]

Nar winced at the pelts of ice, and the flames that singed her, as well as the volume of the voices. While the injuries on her back healed, she snarled and bared canines, feeling a strong urge to rip something apart. "Should tell her not to get into random people's faces then...she was asking to be hit, and i delightedly obliged. Dont regret it either..." She answered the voices, even though she didnt see the owners, she was just pissed enough that she didnt care though.

[♖ daithos]

henari walks over to a large tree in the middle of the park, and grabs down at the roots.
"you two, quit making trouble!!!" she says sternly.
she comes from behind the tree, and has by the cusp of their shirts, has two small girls.
"We're sorry grandma! we just didn't mommie ascenia to get hurt, and mommy znaniya to get sad." they both said in sad tones.
"i understand that, my dears, but you have no business interfering in this. now, go to her and apologize." she commanded.
the two little girls walked up to Narraay, and looked up at her scary visage. they began to shake and shiver, as if full of fear.
"we're...we're......umm......." they start to sob as they look at narraay.
the start to cry, and run between her legs, and hide in bushes, crying.

[♗ NarRaay]

Her eyes narrowed as she watched Henari, hearing what was said, but not seeing what she had grabbed just yet. It sounded like children...which meant her eyes only widened a fraction when she actually saw the two little girls. She watched them curiously, her demeanor still very pissed off, but when they stood before her trembling and crying...memories flashed through her mind. How many times had she done the same thing? Been shivering and crying while someone looked down at her with utter malevolence? Thousands, Millions?

Nar's lips pursed, but her anger seemed to soften a bit...and she turned to kneel beside the bushes. "I'm not sorry, I want you to realize that...you dont get in someone's face and not expect that person to be hit..." Her voice was oddly...even...as she spoke. "And when you attack someone, dont hide in the shadows...it shows more courage if your able to stand in full view and do it..." She sighed and stood... "I'm not going to hurt you..." was what she murmured as she closed her eyes to try and calm herself down.

[♖ daithos]

the little girls trembled as she spoke to them. they listened intently, then they responded,
"we know that mommy ascenia did wrong. but she is our mommy. and we dont want to lose her, because we want both of our mommies to be alive with us."
Caryiol looked at narraay's face, and observed it deeply.
"you're very pretty, lady. how do you make your eyes change color?"
Laylia nudged her.
"be quiet leaf brains! im oldest, so i go first."
caryoil made a face at her.
"you're only older than me by one and a half minutes, frog face. so, it doesnt count."
laylia ignored her sister, and loooked with a stony gaze at Narraay.
"im sorry we attacked you from the shadows. we didnt even know we could do that. all we did was point at you, and our shadow duplicates launched attacks. sorry. we dont know all of our powers yet."
caryiol looked at laylia as if she had just come form an institution of psycholigically insound peple.
"you fur brain! dont tell her that! i have full control over my powers!"
laylia looked at her sister with a death gaze.
"caryiol....if i remember correctly, you are the one who caused the prime nminister of britain's car to melt to the street when you dropped your ice cream cone.....neither of us can control our powrs, and you know it."
she looed back at narraay. she extended her smal clawed and pale hand out to narraay from the bushes.
"we will com out, if you swear not to eat us like roast pork. and to confirm the swear, you have to shakle my hand."
laylia's look on her face was like that of a hardened warrior about to commit to a vital alliance to save the world.

[♗ NarRaay]

"I understand...sort of...my mother died when i was born..." She cleared her throat and shook her head slightly, listening to them bicker with slight amusement. Children...were her weakness...not that she would tell anyone that, never the less it was the truth. Watching the pale hand extend her eyes flicked between the hand, and the girls. "I dont make my eyes do it, it just happens..." Nar took the hand in her own, folding the childish fingers in her own soft, supple fingers as she leaned down and glanced around as if she had a huge secret. "Wanna know a secret?" She whispered, threw another glance around, and said in a low voice "I dont eat children, it's against my policy..." Then in a more amused voice "besides, the meat is stringy and they taste too sweet..." Winking she held a finger up to her lips in the universal sign for 'shh dont tell' and stood, releasing the childs hand as she stood.

[♖ daithos]

the girls giggled, and whispered to narraay.
"we wont tell anyone. we promise."
henari began to be troubled about the girls. she wondered if they were OK. she walked up behind narraay, and was very cautious.
"girls? are you ok?" she asked gently.
the girls looked at narraay, and each as they walked past her, gave her a hug, and said
"you're our first werewolf. you are cool. you should come and play with us at our cabin, new best friend."
caryiol walked past narray after her hug, but laylia stayed put, looking at narraay.
she then casues wind to lift her up to narraay's eye level, and did something rather unexpected. she put her hand under narraay's chin, and gave her a french kiss.
"you should come back in 10 years. that awway, my body is as mature as my mind."
she drops down to the ground, and walks towrds henari. she turns and blows narraay a kiss.
