Vitara narrowed her eyes, though her tone was calm when she spoke to Adam. “I’ll think about it. Not now when a storm is picking up.”
Annoyed now at the arguing, she shifted her stance, scowling at the largest of the other werewolves. “This is my territory, dickwad. Go get pissy somewhere else, preferably where I don’t have to hear your temper tantrum.” She didn’t step any further forward, but her words were pointed at him, “You talk a lot about not wanting to do anything with these two, so leave. I hope you wander off and get lost in the snow.”
Mardicos huffed disdainfully at the she-wolf.
“I could give a shit if this is your territory. I pass through, never stay. And if you don’t want to hear me, go the fuck away. I’ll likely be gone before tomorrow,”he hissed.
He then hummed, glancing at the other two lycanthropes. When he turned back to the she-wolf, Mardicos snorted.
“That sounds like a brilliant idea actually. I wander anyway, and I enjoy snow. Just as long as you three fucking nuisances stay the fuck away from me, I won’t have any reason to linger,”he remarked.
Mardicos then turned and walked away, glaring at Reyna and Adam as he went.
Reyna growls, and a hurricane-force wind staggers everyone but her. Ice forms on the trees, and the distant sounds of cracking and shattering trees could be heard. She walks right up to Malcolm and backhands him, spraying a fine red mist of blood across snow that immediately gets covered up. "SHUT THE HELL UP."
She turns to Adam. "Nobody asked your opinion, child."
And finally, she turns to Vitara. "And as for you, this is not your fight. Leave us, or you will get dragged into something you don't want to be involved in."
"How about you leave me. This is my territory. You, like the pissy dog you were fighting with, can leave as well." Vitara snapped, shifting into her human form and pointing away from her land. A thick reddish cloak covered her from shoulder to toe, and her red hair blew violently in the staggering winds. "While you're at it, get control over your damn storm."
She couldn't give less of a damn if they truly stayed or not, but she wanted to be able to hunt tomorrow, and if they were fighting and making a ruckus, it was going to leave her with very sparse prey.
Mardicos managed to stay upright as the wind picked up, and he slowly continued onward. However, the moment Reyna slapped him, all thoughts of leaving peacefully left.
He reached up to wipe off the bit of blood on his lip, both of his eyes turning an icy blue. A deep feral growl came from his throat and he snatched Reyna by the throat, slamming her into a nearby tree.
“Bitch, do you realize how much you’ve fucked up? How hard it is to control…?”he hissed, his voice nearly unintelligible with his growling.
Somewhere deep in his enraged eyes, there was an internal battle going on, and the man was quickly losing to the wolf. He didn’t register any of Vitara’s words as he threw Reyna to the side.
He leaped after her, a high-pitched whine ripping through him as he rapidly morphed, his clothes shredding apart. When he landed, he was not a man but a wolf, and his jaws were flying for Reyna’s throat.
Reyna growls and knocks Mardicos away, slashing at him in return, heedless of the pain heading her way. All thoughts of the others left her as she tore at Mardicos with tooth, claw and ice, the vicious sounds of tearing flesh and high-pitched whines tearing through the valley.
Adam doesn't even try to intervene, watching alongside Vitara as the two furious wolves fight.
Vitara watched with nothing more than mild annoyance as the two wolves attacked, glancing towards the third with a roll of her eyes. "They're going to be busy for a while, I suppose?" She shook her head, answering her own question as she quickly shifted back to her wolf form, sitting down next to a nearby tree to watch the fight. It wasn't worth going back home, and watching them was more interesting.
Adam snorts, stalking over to Vitara.
"You honestly have no clue, hun. I literally just met them, but I know at this point that their tension is through the effing roof." he mutters.
"By the way, what's your name? I'm Adam. Adam Vear." he asks.
"Vitara Fall," She introduced herself, tipping her head in greeting, "Nice to meet you. Though I do have to ask…why are you and the others wandering through my stretch of the woods?" Vitara didn't look over at Adam, simply kept her eyes trained on the fight.
Dama nods. "Nice to meet you too, Vitara."
He snorts. "I honestly don't know. I lost my pack a while back, and have been following her-" he gestures to Reyna "-for a while. Didn't know she was a werewolf, though, until she shifted earlier."
He looks down at her. "What do you mean, these are your woods? True, your scent is everywhere, but it is very faint."
Mardicos wasn’t much fazed by Reyna knocking him to the side, and eagerly fought her, his massive paws and long fangs ripping through fur and flesh with ease. However, he didn’t move fast, an eerie calm settling over him despite the rage in his intense eyes.
Any wounds Reyna gave him were ignored, and he didn’t bother using any defensive tactics. Strangely, Reyna’s ice attacks didn’t seem to do much at all, though Mardicos was completely oblivious.
Reyna stays quiet after the first few blows, the fury of her attacks unabating, unflinching, uncaring. She's willing to bleed out to harm this asshole, to kill him. Any attacks Mardicos made were largely superficial, unable to get past the hard muscle in her. She uses the winds to buffet Mardicos, and ice to slash at his eyes, blinding him.
She doesn't bother blocking very many attacks, and eventually her rage turns to curiosity as she watches him flow from one attack to another. Her attacks lose no strength, though.
Adam sighs. What is wrong with these two? I sense a darkness within each, an inability to control the wolf.
Mardicos matched her fury, shifting his attacks to weaker spots to compensate for the surprising lack of deeper wounds. He had never encountered, nor fought, a wolf that was about equal, if not slightly larger, than himself. It was daunting in a way, even more so with her magical capabilities.
Though, the more she used the wind and ice on him, the angrier he got. Cold and wind didn’t bother him. Mardicos had grown up in the mountains, after all. But, having ice thrown at his eyes was fucking annoying, and stung like hell.
Eventually, Mardicos noticed her curiosity, and decided to take advantage of that. He abruptly leaped forward, snatching Reyna’s hind leg in his powerful jaws, and started dragging her around in fast sweeping arcs.
Reyna started getting more wounds, wherever her muscle didn't protect her as much, and her fury, renewed, exploded, nearly obliterating the surrounding area in snow and ice. But the area surrounding her and Mardicos cleared, the snow on the ground flung out of their way as they fight.
Reyna unintentionally yelps, the twists, catching the top of Mardicos's neack and shaking it like she would a rabbit.
Vitara huffs, glancing over at Adam. "This is going to be my new pack lands when I find others to become part of my pack. It's a little difficult to keep on top of all of my border maintenance, and the wind makes the scent travel which makes it weaker." She swayed slightly as the winds picked up but didn't move from where she sat. The fighting didn't seem to be slowing at all, and she wondered how much longer the two of them would bat at each other before they got bored.
The explosion of magic caught Mardicos off guard, but he immediately went back to attacking Reyna. He hated witches with a passion. And Reyna was one whether she liked it or not.
When she grabbed his neck, Mardicos snarled and bit down harder on her leg, rolling over several times to dislodge her. It was barely more than a surface wound, considering how thick his black fur was, but he wasn’t about to let her get a better hold.
Reyna growls, a sound that starts low and ends up as a high pitched whine, as Mardicos clamps his jaws around her leg. She flexes it sharply, forcing him to release her, then goes for his throat. She doesn't release his neck, instead clamping down tighter than before.
Adam chuckles. "Well, seeing as how neither of us have a pack, we could form one ourselves. One that possibly includes them, once they stop trying to kill each other."
Mardicos snarled in frustration when Reyna’s leg escaped him, a short whine bursting forth as she bit down harder on his neck. He paused a moment, calculating, then rolled over, burying Reyna’s head beneath him in the snow. He put all of his weight on Reyna, hoping to crush her.
(Can I just say- I love these two.)
(Mm-hmmm! Now I'll go back to watching to avoid cluttering this place, lol.)
Reyna growls and twists over, flexing her entire body to get him to release her in the process. She grabs his throat in her jaws and stares him down, daring him to try something and get his throat ripped out.
Mardicos howled, becoming even more frustrated as she escaped again. When she grabbed him by the throat, he growled, his eyes still challenging her.
A long moment passed before Mardicos moved, then he kicked her hard in the side with his powerful hind legs. He kept kicking her, even scratching her, relentlessly pounding at Reyna’s side until she decided to release him or kill him.
Reyna doesn't flinch, only tightens her hold on his throat slowly to choke him, to wear him down, glaring the entire time.
Mardicos kept kicking Reyna as he started choking. At some point, he heard a rib or two crack, but from there his consciousness started to fade. His kicks became gradually weaker, until he finally passed out.
