Shirokami walks down the forest path, looking about the trees, his ears flicking atop his head slightly, tail swaying slowly behind him " It is a rather nice time for a walk in the woods, is it not?" he tilts his head
Wulf watches Shiro's backside as they move through the woods towards the lake, then shakes her head and focussed on the walk. "We didn't come for a stroll, we came to do what Kendrac asked for us to do, enter the wilderness and contemplate." Onwards they march. "you have been here in the woods before yeah?"
Shirokami nods a bit " Only for a while.. And as for a stroll... Well, it's not like we cannot enjoy the walk, as we reach where we are headed. Is this not true?" he looks back at Wulf, over his shoulder " Nothing wrong with such after all.
Wulf smirks. "Yes, nothing wrong with it till something comes up to knock your block off" The Husky continues on, pressing in front of Shiro as they come to the clearing near the lake. "All right, here is good."
Shirokami nods softly as he walks up alongside Wulf, murring softly within' his throat as he looks over the water " Alright. So we just... Contemplate?" he tilts his head curiously " An interesting thing to do I suppose. What else do you think?" he looks over to her.
Wulf nods. "sit and meditate, clear your mind of all that is there." The Husky slings off her cloak and such, setting it to the side as she sits, closing her eyes quietly.
Shirokami sits down beside Wulf and takes a deep breath, closing his eyes as he relaxes as best he can, ears perked atop his head, twitching on occasion, tail flicking slightly at the end
A sound of bone hitting bone. A glance up reveals the reclined form of a Creator, her right hand that of a bear, clenching the armrest that appears to be the arm of some unfortunate creature. She looks down at those meditating and raises a brow, "You are those Kendrac speaks of?" she asks, "You have called me. Though I am not beholden to you, I have come. Speak your business and speak it well, for I am not known for my patience." She is dressed in finery, despite her savage appearance, as if she could attend a royal dance, if one could forget the simmering fury that was just under the surface.
Wulf breathes steadily, the Husky opening her eyes to look up at the creator looking spirit. "I have come to you because my desire to protect is for different reasons than Kendrac. My was not the way of purity as his was and he said that he knew of one whom may be able to grant me that which I sought."
Shirokami's ears twitch as he opens his own eyes, looking at the one before him, tilting his head slightly " As was the same he had said of me. He sent us both to the forest to seek the proper guidence that we sought for. And so we traveled and came here to seek it as bidden."
She hops down from her throne of bones and parts, leaving it to melt into the ground, leaving nothing behind but three femurs that jut up from the earth like exclamation points. "Did he? He speaks too much." She levels her bear paw at Wulf, "Do you know me?" She points at Shiro then, "Do you know my path? You have called me, but do you know what you call for?"
Wulf stands up, staring at the claw. "I wished to place vengence on those that break their oath and promises. Those that prey upon those innocents that are weaker than them, to right injustice done upon themand theirs." Wulf wags her tail slowly. "I was never given a name but I called you, so I must know..."
Shirokami's tail twitches slightly behind him " And I wish to protect those who seek it better. I create to defend, and to aid those who need it, and wish to do more to do so. Whether by craft, or by sword, axe, and hammer. To give others fight, where they need it, and when. To strengthen others and myself."
She huffs, flame escaping her mouth in a faint glow and few bits of ember from deep within, "She has a better feel for it than you, my friend. I do not care to defend. Defense is a fool's game. Take the punishment to those deserving of proper vengeance,"
Wulf wags her tail even more, as who wouldn't be a bit happy if they weren't praised... if even just a little bit. "I thank you... what shall I call you though? The Mistress of bones?" The Husky looks over at Shiro and raises her eyebrow.
Shirokami rubs his forehead slightly, before shaking his head a moment " How I mean is so as to fight back against those who would do them harm, or have done harm. To return what was done to them, ten-fold. I would not wish for them to have what happened to my family. And I wish to fight back any way I can, to stop such from happening to others." his ear lowers slightly a moment " So that others wont suffer what I had. And so I can return the favour to those who have done my family wrong in the past, if ever I caught them." he lowers his head slightly, shutting his eyes.
Four claws are raised, "Four fold," she corrects, "I am Adrestia, master of the fourfold revenge." She levels a smoldering gaze at Wulf, "Mistress of bones, though I prefer those who feel the sting of my lash live long enough to thoroughly regret crossing me or mine. Is that what you want, to teach lessons to those most in need of it?"
Wulf nods adamantly. "Yes, yes I do. They deserve what they get for going back on their word and harming others who can't fight back." The husky's eyes drift over to the claw once more and then towards Adrestia's eyes. "I have already laid justice on one poor soul who attempted to kill a friend, a good man. Forever now will she be tormented by living and working to add life to the world that she removed it from."
Shirokami takes a deep breath before raising his head slightly " I cannot allow for others to keep as what happened in my past, or others' pasts. I will fight and stop them, as well as give the means to do so for others. To stop their suffering, and return it to those who caused them to suffer."
Poke. Adrestia moves to jab Shiro's nose lightly with a claw, "You sound like quite the righteous crusader. Enough. I am not patient with matters not of the hunt. If you want to walk my path, I bid you to enforce. I offer you justice against those who would wrong you or yours. Remind those who draw breath that their word is bond. Enforce the law upon them by returning their injustice four times. Forgive those who have been punished, but always watch for further treachery. Do you wish this?" She points behind herself, at the femurs, "If you accept, seize one and raise it high."
Wulf watches Shiro get poked in the nose with a snerk before heading past Adrestia and up the bile of bones to the Femurs, she stands there a moment and reaches out to grip the bone in her hand and then tugs it out and up, pointing it into the air. "I accept your path and shall do as you bid!"
Shirokami blinks slightly at the poke, his nose twitching at it a moment before he stands, and follows behind Wulf, looking down at the femur a moment before picking it up in his paw, and holding it out above himself " Hunting you say? That does sound a better way to put it than I had been thinking I suppose. And my kind is known to protect the weaker, and fight those who would try to cause them harm. And I intend on keeping others knowing their proper place from such, when need be and as harshly as my blade will allow to teach them what they did wrong."
The sky grows dark suddenly. Thunder rumbles as lightning strikes twice in rapid succession, lighting up the supplicants in a brilliant display, energy coursing through them. Predatory features flash for a moment, becoming terrible beasts before they snap back to their regular selves, clothing stretched and torn, femurs held firmly, and a new cause held in mind.
Wulf watches lightning come and strike her, and for the briefest moment she feels the fury that comes from righteous vengence the need to tear a certain person that comes to mind a new one. "I mark Johnathan Wilart for vengence for breaking his oath to help those in dire need without reparation, doing such he caused the death of a child and mother and made the father a cold bloded killer. He will have vengence placed upon him four fold." This is all said in that barest of moments that they have both become terrible beasts and as they return to normal she looks over at Shiro, her eyes roaming the wolf before turning back to Adrestia.
Shirokami lifts his head, and closes his eyes as the lightning strikes him, his muscles flexing in the surge, a bestial growl escaping his throat as he lets out a feral howl to the sky, lowering his head again as he pants softly. His eyes filled with fury briefly, before he looks to Wulf a moment, ears twitching atop his head as they raise again, looking to Adrestia once more " I seek to find revenge upon the one who slaughtered my parents and siblings in my past.. Leaving only me to be the last of my bloodline. Last of my family and pack. To show him the pain he has shown me, upon his own body. To teach him the wrong he had done to me and my family. His name.. Kaldre."
Adrestia looks amused at Wulf's proclamation, "Such a handsome beast you made," she compliments, not that either had much chance to witness their forms during that moment of investment, "You are mine, I am yours. When you call, I will come, when I call, you will come." she says, finishing the pact, "Hmmm, but to remind you, your oath is no good if they can't hear it. You must speak it to their face, or deliver a message to them. An oath whispered in the dark is a cowardly oath, unfit for justified vengeance."
Wulf nods, heading down the pile once more to stand near Adrestia. "Then I will do so Adrestia, I will hunt and find him as well send a letter and he shall know... I thank you for the gift and will not make such a cowardly oath again." The Husky flicks her ears. "What did I look like... I'm curious."
Shirokami slowly heads down the pile, his tail flicking behind him slowly " And I will continue to try and seek the one I've been after out. Until such a day I can find him, to proclaim my oath in his face. Wherever he may be." his ears lowering flat upon his head slightly
The spirit hmms at Wulf lightly, "I did say handsome. You were a pillar of masculine fury. If I were not so distracted with the hunt, I would consider being distracted by you." She blows a kiss, and vanishes on the spot, everything else vanishing with her breath, leaving only glowing embers that float on the breeze, and those two femurs.
