Introduction
Nigerius, a land once beautiful, had flurished for decades. All of the packs were in harmony. Trading and making peace with one another. But a darkness has palluted the elements and the wolves start blaming other packs until a full on war forms. You must learn what this evil is and stop it before the packs kill and destroy everything. Venture far and wide, making enemies and allies along the way.
Each of the sixteen packs shown to you, you must not underestimate or overestimate. Every pack is as powerful as the next and choosing one will seal your fate. Choose wisely, wolf.
The Tenneth pack- The pack of fire. The most tempered and most bravest packs of them all. They are centered in the Vulcan mountains where tiny eruptions burst through the side of the mountainous region. these wolves can withstand any type of heat there is. They can also form fire and manipulate it using pyrokinesis.
The Dimitrios pack- The pack of Earth. The most strongest and handy of the packs. This pack is on the tip of Onatah Cliffs where violent earthquakes and landslides take place. These wolves can bear on to any land and can pick up the heaviest of objects. These wolves can form and manipulate rocks into various structures using geokinesis. These wolves with the help of the Tenneth pack created and weild metal into weapons and armor. With this the Deon pack formed.
The Avira pack. The pack of wind. The most passive, intelectual, and dessisive of packs. This pack is almost impossible to reach, living on the floating mountains known as Era where only a narrow bridge is the only way to get there. Here violent wind storms and twisters take place. These wolves are unaffected by any wind change and almost all are born with giant bird like wings that never lose feathers and can create so much wind it can be classified as a wind storm. These wolves helped discover, along with the water pack, watermills.
The Arlyne pack. The pack of water. These wolves are the nicest and most determined wolves. This pack lives in the Nerine Falls where water is the purest and falls glide out from the rocks making a beautiful sight. But floods are less predictable here and are more powerful. Though despite this these wolves can breathe underwater and can control it with Aquakinesis. These wolves have created water systems to all of the wolf packs in the universe that needs it the most.
The Kamaria pack. The pack of darkness. The most mysterious and deadly of all packs. these wolves have little to nothing known about them but if you meet one they are usually not the nicest... These wolves live in the Darkess canyons where little to no light show. These wolves can manipulate shadows and can conceal themselves completley in darkness. This pack is rivals with the light pack.
The Kita pack- The pack of light. The most magical of the packs. These wolves can create and manipulate light bending it or just creating it to blind their enemies. They live in the Sakura ruins where light shines in the cloudless skies. These wolves created music, intruments and dance.
The Ausi Pack- The pack of ice and snow. These wolves are sharp tempered and not easy to get along with. These wolves live in the Sharikere Mountains where blizzards are the harshest and a slight breeze feels like blades running across your face. These wolves can withstand any temperature below zero. These wolves can freeze any attacker and form blades of ice that they can shoot at wolves. These wolves created nets for fishing.
The Aven pack. The pack of plants and healing. These wolves are naturally harmless but during the wars they have isolated themselves from the packs. These wolves live deep in the Acacia woods where the trees never become bare in the winter. These wolves can make the trees move and grow, also controling plants movements, and healing. These wolves created various types of medicines for the other wolf packs.
The Borak pack. The pack of lightning. These wolves are light-hearted and full of themselves. They usually carry around a glowing pendent in the shape of a lightning bolt around there necks to identify themselves. these wolves live in the Arjuna mountains where lightning lights up the sky. These wolves can summon lightning and create it with there minds to blast out there aponents. These wolves have created electricity (Of course).
The Alva pack. The pack of death and fear. These wolves are located far off into Felix valley. These wolves are stubborn but pride born. These wolves in fact would rather keep peace than to fight, but once they kill they start to kill. These wolves take pleasure in killing. Also, they can see into your soul and allow you to relive your deepest darkest fears. These wolves wear a skull of their ancesters on their forehead.
The Jera pack. The pack of time. These wolves are usually emotionless and very hard to get to. These wolves live in the center of Elian Desert where sandstorms gulf over the desert in a matter of seconds. These wolves usually have strange markings on them and it is tradition to where a pocket watch or and hour glass around their necks. These wolves can manipulate time (Slow it down or speed it up). They can also predict things and see into the past. These wolves can revisit the past and future to but only through mind. These wolves created hourglasses and clocks. (Go figure)
The Spirit pack. When a wolf dies its spirit goes to Isra where the spirit pack lives. Isra is like Heaven but with wolves. Isra is beyond the reach of all wolves and cant be seen until you've past. Occasionally, a wolf will come down from the heavens and guide a troubled wolf until it is ok. In other words they act like a Guardian angel. These wolves cant interact with the live but they can show signs that they are there.
The Hemlock Pack. The pack of poison and venom. These wolves are devious and sly and trouble makers. These wolves get into trouble and almost never grow up. These wolves live in the poisonous swamps of Nazar. Hemlock wolfs fur is poisonous to touch and usually having poisonous barbs and spike. The parts of their body that are most toxic glow a lumnious green. Hemlocks teeth can be as long as three inches, maybe even more, filled with the most toxic venom in the realms. They usually though dont mean to kill and would rather have fun and lt loose than to be serious. These wolves grow stronger when eating, drinking, or being near any type of toxic substance. These wolves also have the strangest diet known to Nigerius. It consists of poisonous snakes, spiders, crocodiles, poisonous berries, and emeralds.
The Jivanta pack. The pack of life. These wolves are very sweet and fun loving and also very beautiful. These wolves live in Haya meadows where life blooms around you. These wolves can speak to animals and take shape into them to, but only for a specific amount of time depending on that animal. These wolves can also control animals minds just as the Avira control the birds in the sky. These wolves are vegetarians and are connected to everything around their birthplace.
The Zalika pack. The pack of entropy. These wolves can lift things with their minds and create physic beams and energy to destroy enemies usually by slicing them in half. These wolves are nice but very impatient. These wolves live in the Syaukat canyons. These wolves usually have strange different colored markings on their fur. Each wolf has its own color and design to match its personality.
The Strigoi pack. The pack of blood. These wolves feed only in blood and with it gain incredible strength and energy even boosting their five senses by a long run but these wolves need to keep feeding on this gruesome diet or they become weak, sickly, and eventually die. These wolves have extremely long fangs that can pierce any flesh of their victims also inserting a non lethal numbing venom, though with enough could paralyze its victim depending on how large or strong the target is. Also, they could fed off of and make blood copies of themselves. This though, requires alot of blood depending on the amount of copies 1 copy can take up almost half of a wolves blood reserve, and attempting to make to many can kill a wolf. The copies will deteriorate when all the blood is used up. If these wolves feed well regularly they will stop aging at its prime age. Only when the wolf stops feeding will it show signs of its true age and eventually die. Finally, when ever the full moon is showing through the black skies it gives these wolves some sort of extra boost in power as it creeps through the nights. These wolves live in the Adonis badlands where everything has an awfully eerie feeling to it.

The Seti pack. The copy pack. Their bodies have the power to learn the magical skills of any pack, with practice. Also, not for long. Usually for a day or two they can harness the other wolfs' ability. They can also only copy one wolf at a time. Usually not considered as the most strongest, these wolves are one of a kind and are quite the type to be around, usually playing around, these wolves enjoy others company and are very friendly but have a very low tolerance rate. These wolves live in Zeno canyons.
((Lloyd999 is responsible for coming up with this pack!))
The Oreja pack. The pack of sound. These wolves are blind for they live inside dark, maze-like, caverns that stretch for miles. They navigate these caves by way of echolocation, much like the bats they share the caves with. They are able to manipulate sound waves and tune them at different frequencies and volumes. Because of their blindness they posses an incredible sense of hearing. So acute they could hear a twig snap from miles away. While sound waves is their form of navigation they also use it for self-defense. From blaring high pitch noises to low base vibrations, these wolves have an unique offense that is hard to counter and hard to escape. Since wolves already have acute hearing their own abilities could harm them, which is why they were born with the ability to drop theirs flatly against their head, protecting the ear drum completely. They do this before performing any type of extreme sounds. These wolves in personality are typically silent and private. Most preferring to stay inside their caves and keeping neutrality in the current war. They're not typically hostile or mean and can be rather pleasant, despite their stoicism. Also it is not uncommon to see an Oreja Wolf with very long ears, as it is a genetic signature amongst their pack.
((SevenEleven is totally responsible for coming up with this pack! Yay!))
The Ourano Pack, The Pack of Space, or the The Lost Pack as historians refer to it. This pack was once above ground and held vast territories to it's name. These wolves possessed strange, and infinitely unique pelts that would seem very alien to any wolf today. Their abilities were great and mysterious as they could manipulate areas of space around them. While they cannot affect infinite amounts of space, they can alter a certain radius indefinitely. This creates a strange realm of effect for any wolf unlucky enough to be caught in an Ourano's hemisphere. While they cannot alter physical matter they can affect the world around the wolf, such as flipping the land beneath them or crushing the wolf through invisible barriers. They also use this ability to travel as they may teleport through different layers of space to reach distant lands almost instantaneously. It's because of their strange abilities is why the other packs attacked them, resulting in the survivors to submerge their land deep beneath Nigerius long ago. The elders of this pack are very religious as they believe their abilities were given to them by an ancient Wolf God who decided to live amongst them, forgoing his immortality. The youth however notice the strange goings on with Nigerius and are curious to explore the outside world. These wolves main domain is a majestic castle that was supposedly built by the maverick Wolf God long ago.

Cousin Packs
These packs are smaller cousins to the much larger packs though non the less cooler... >:)
The Canicus pack. The pack of the volcanoes. These wolves literally live In the volcano. In fact they can swim and even drink it. Some Canicus wolves are born out of lava. These wolves appear godlike and are very proud. These wolves are cousins of the Tenneth pack but instead of controling fire they control lava. These wolves can makes a minature volcano to explode out of the ground and kill enemies. These wolves can also control and manipulate it. They can also breathe lava. These wolves live in the Vulcan mountains.
The Saffron pack. The pack of the coming harvest. These wolves are very rare and anyone who sees one are blessed with good fortune. These wolves are usually a golden brown color with amber eyes. They control the harvest all around Nigerius and almost all wolves depend on this pack but ever since the war the growing season has either been too late or too early and are usually weak with not a lot of crops. These wolves are famous for the golden wheat fields they live in and any one that has ever set foot in the majestic fields will feel pure relaxation and stress free. Though this is only a legend.
The Deon pack. The pack of metal. This pack is cousin of the Dimitrios and can destroy almost anything with their bare jaws. These wolves can weld up to anything either but the coolest thing about them is as they grow, and if they practice a lot, parts of their body can turn into metal. For example, a leg limb can turn into a sword, and if they are really good they can make their fur turn into tiny sharp blades which they can grow out and can look almost like a metal wolf. These wolves live near the Onatah cliffs. Deons are usually solitude and keep a good distance from other wolves.
((Lloyd999 is responsible for coming up with this pack!))
The Ekaitz pack. The pack of storms. Cousins to Avira. They have a power to control weather, but only at a small scale. It's kind of like a prayer, if one wants it to rain, there is a chance it will rain. The chances of it raining already adds to the chance it will work. A huge pack could control weather all over Nigerius. They are too rare now, so they aren't able to.

Tiberius
The young Arlyne took the tackle in step, falling backwards as she landed on top of him in order to minimize the impact. It was more of luck than anything that made him choose to do that; he knew very little about melee tactics. Having fallen on his back, he pushed up with his legs to throw her off before she could get situated.
"This is fun an' all, but ain't we ever goin' to do something else?" Tiberius asked as he stood himself up. His question was aimed at Drais as much as it was at Feathers, who he was looking at. Play fights, learning to hunt, and long walks all seemed like the mundane stuff he ran away from. At least, temporarily. He was bound to go back some day, right?

BattleDemon
BattleDemon slowly and lazily blinked open her eyes. Heat and smoke caused blood to seep from her noise. It was too uncomfortable for her. She whimpered before raising her head which felt like she was moving a five ton boulder, totally useless she let her head fall. Where was she? Where was the heat coming from? What was going on? Confusion held her in an iron grip as she tried to recollect her bearings. BattleDemon whimpered again, and tried to guard herself, to gaurd her pain, to keep it locked up. She looked around but smoke was starting to burn her eyes, to make it impossible to see. Where was she?
BattleDemon was in pain, and quite frankly, she was afraid. She was just trying not to let it get to her. Fear was great at times, but it was unwanted now. It was useless for her in her state. Weak, completely useless, and every move created tiny explosions to go on under her hide. But she was quote useless. BattleDemon felt a sudden need, and urgency run through her. She had vital information about the prison, but what was it? The smoke clouded her memories, caused her to let the information slide away like water. What was it? It... Was something, something important. Battle whined, and the memory almost slipped away again, but the memory surfaced like a dead fish. "Lake, underwater cavern." She whispered the words out over and over.

Alina was keeping low as she found BattleDemon and managed to use some of her Light to move the terribly injured wolf back towards Nova and the other wolf. Her own mind was a bit fuzzed from all the smoke and she was trying her best not to breath it in.
Mishaa was intimidated by the other wolf that had been left with her. She didn't know what to do or say. She just stayed still, her stomach almost rejecting the meat from the badger. She gagged for a moment, but swallowed with a slightly sour look on her face. She definately wasn't doing too well yet.

Drais looked at Tiberius his gaze becoming dark and masked. He shook his head then replying, "Somehow I don't think that's your only serious qustion, and... I don't have the answer to that qustion for you, but me, I already know." He sits down then begins to both ask and state things he thought of. "Perhaps because of how safe it as. Its familiar, reliable and safe to these mudane things like playing and obeying the caste sytem. There is control, but where does that control come from? Themselves or their leaders? Why not do things the Kerl way and rome the world alone, afraid to fight anything alone and always dodgings danger. It's exciting but its not the life many storytellers are believed to speak of." Drais looked at No Name who pondering something, and from the looks of it, focused on it entirely.
No Name was sitting up, and her one wing was drawing things into the dirt, her green feathers leaving dusty marks. "I... wouldn't know of normal pack life, growing a lone dandelion not placed among a field of dandelions. I guess... it's safe and easy, comforting I think." She hasn't lost the tormented look on her face but she's thinking too hard to realize that a sapling is beginning to growing from where the tip of her wing is. It's tiny green limbs unfurling and moving toward No Name's wings like a child wanting a hug. It blossomed all of a sudden, it's fat bulb pulling way to a white flower still growing.
No Name continues speaking without really seeing it. "My parents left me in th field, promising to bring bowls filled with sweet morning dew but... They never came back, and I waited, and waited. I thought they'd come back to reward me but a week went by and I... The trees began to whisper bad things to me and I left." The flower blossom is growing rather quickly now.

"Well, what would you have me do? You can't expect me to keep going on with an outlook so bleak. I don't deserve it, no on should." Nova replied resolutely, looking his young sister in the eyes. There was supposed to be an Aurora tonight, and she was trying to spoil the atmosphere with stories of fire and sword.
"This is your story Nova, you can't just close your book and put it back on the shelf" she responded, gently. She looked older, wiser, and more mature then when he had last seen her. Had it been that long?
"Aye, a story this has turned out to be. If I was writing a story, I would have put the climax in by now, where the hero finds out the true and just cause to all his sufferings. Not that his life had just been a series of unfortunate events that seem to have little effect on anything."
"Well it is your choice to see whether the hero does something that matters."
"Stop with the philosophy. I am no hero."
"You said it, not me."
"Look, what am I supposed to do? I am stuck in a blazing inferno worthy of the Tenneth, trying to care for an Alva who can't seem to go twenty minute without having her life in peril, wondering if at any moment a Hemlock is going to go back on his word and kill me, and pleading to a random Kita that she will be able to find an exit that is not there. Half my party is missing or dead, and there is a crazed chess master to all of this who seems to have it out for all of us for no dissembler reason." Nova ranted, frustrated at her insistence.
"How can a cheer you up when you insist on being so negative?"
"Negative! What else am I supposed to be? The sun isn't exactly shining today. I have basically failed the final exam in the game of life."
"Nova, success if meaningless if you don't bring everyone along with you. I would say you have done a remarkable job so far. Now go on, the light show is starting."

Nova
Nova shook his head, his mind on fire. Nothing had changed, other than the ever rising temperature. Nothing besides BattleDemon's new chant. What was she saying? Something about an underwater cavern? That was about as absurd as trying to get out through the ceiling, perhaps only less so because the wingless wolves could access it, wherever it was.
He glanced up at Alina, and thanked her for retrieving BattleDemon. "Look, I know you're tired, we all are. But can you go out one more time to search for an escape? After that, I suppose there is little left to do than surrender." Nova said, speaking to the winged wolf with the best smile he could manage.

Tiberius
Like any good pup, Tiberius simply nodded his head and looked pensive as adults spoke to him using words he couldn't quite understand. The gist of what he got from Drais' speech was that it is better to be safe than sorry. But if that was the truth, then what was the point of the whole life experience? If you knew each day was going to be the same as the last, is there really any room for personal progression? Isn't that what life is about?
And then Feathas spoke, and her tone alone almost made his eyes moist with tears. That was the extent of his emotions, however, as the metaphors were lost on him. Still, he knew he didn't really have anything useful to input into the conversation, as usual, and so he shut his trap and listen. Surprising how much more you can hear that way.

Summanus, Durandel, and Schemeko
Summanus heard the chanting of BattleDemon. At first it was hard to comprehend but she kept on speaking of an underwater cavern. A Lake? Summanus thought, it could it be true. Summanus began to lightly pat the ground and then began to slight dig with his right paw. To his surprise it would seem the floor was actually dirt! It wasn't some stone wall or metal wall that Rashid had his brainwashed goons make. It would seem there was an error in his designs after all. Summanus looked over to Nova.
"Nova." "I believe BattleDemon maybe on to something, look." Summanus spoke as he digged up the ground some. "It's actually dirt." "If BattleDemon's hunch is correct we could dig our way out of here." Summanus spoke. Hopefully Nova might actually agree with this plan. It seemed nothing else they planned has gone right, so what else left is there to lose?
Durandel returned to the main group as he bore bad news. "Sorry everyone, I searched the opposite walls, there was nothing we could escape through."Durandel spoke a bit defeated.
"Don't worry Durandel, we may have another means of escape." Summanus spoke. "I believe we could dig our way out of here. "
"Then what are we waiting for?" Durandel spoke as he began to dig.
Then Schemeko finally appeared as he spoke, "Well I informed everybody stuck in here." "They will rendezvous with us here right now." As if on cue the other wolves tossed into this mess arrived. Fox, Mydnyte, and Cerise arrived. "What's going one here?" Schemeko asked confused as he saw Durandel digging.
"I believe it's possible we can dig our way out of here." "Durandel is already getting a head start." Summanus explained.
"Oh." Schemeko replied. "Well I guess that could work." Schemeko spoke voicing some doubt. "How do you feel about it Nova?" Schemeko spoke, "Think it's worth a shot?" He casually spoke.

BattleDemon willed herself to stay somewhat awake. Her eyes fluttered closed for seconds before they'd blink up. She was tired of being the one in constant peril. She was tired of always resting, never fighting. She was tired of leading the group to safety. She was suddenly tired of everything. Battle wanted to sleep, but she knew deep down that if she closed her eyes to sleep, she'd never ever wake up in this dimension again. She'd awaken in what constitutes as the underworld for dead wolves. Battle whimpered again, her ears moving slowly to pick out the words of the other wolves. Schemeko. Summanus. Durandel.
BattleDemon remembered she was to die, then let her thoughts wander to the negative side. Maybe I was meant to die now. Or make sure they get out of here then die, but if I do what... What about my- Should not think of it. I just won't let the goddess take me yet. I won't die now. With some fear for herself (and the others although she won't admit it) she kept her eyes open and let her senses roam, making sure they were truly alone in this fiery pit.
****
No Name blinks. Her eyes widen. She suddenly smiles and moves awkwardly into a play bow and barks. "Look! Look what I made!" She jumps up and runs in circles needing to move around from excitement, suddenly forgetting that she was feeling a bit melencholy a few seconds ago.
Drais watchs No Name then suddenly confirms something. "Blossom." He says it again, this time directed at No Name. "Blossom." No Name looks up and cocks her head to the left.

Nova
Well, it looked like it was once more into the breech, as it were. "Oh, it doesn't really matter if I think it is worth a shot," Nova started, getting his claws into the dirt, "because frankly, we would still be at each others throats if we were doing what I thought was right."
He had realized the floor was dirt long ago, after all, he had been laying down in it while waiting to ambush the others. But he hadn't expected it to be any deeper than a few centimeters, perhaps with a layer of stone underneath it. But lo and behold, the deeper his own paw went into the earth, it always made contact with the soft clay that covered the cave floor. Still not any reason to believe that there was an under-underground lake somewhere to find. Even if there was, there was no telling if it actually came up in a spring somewhere. He knew he was thinking rationally, but he also realized that thinking that way tended to make you a downer, so he decided to keep his thoughts to himself. After all, he was sure that everyone would get to the same conclusion eventually.

Tiberius
Tiberius was amazed at how jovial Feathers had become just moments after she seemed to be in the depths of sorrow. Looking at the odd plant that sprouted near her, he decided that there really wasn't a big deal about it. So she made a plant grow. So could any wolf with the right heritage. Perhaps he was being a bit envious that she was mastering her elemental gifts faster than he was, but he wouldn't be a pup if he wasn't a little jealous every now and again.
He did find it neat how harmoniously the plant matched her fur. The leaves were the same color and shape as those marks on her flank, and the flower itself matched the young wolf's eyes. "Blossom? More like a flowa, Mr. Drais. Blossoms always bring fruit. Flowas are there justa look pretty". Tiberius stated, throwing in his pitch.

Summanus, Schemeko, and Durandel
It was good to see Nova was on board, now maybe they can escape before the fire become too unbearable. Summanus began to dig along with Durandel and the others. Together they hoped to dig a tunnel out of this fire storm. The group did their best to dig but it would take awhile to get anywhere further down. Time was definitely not on their side as the fire grew and the air drowned in smoke. While this seemed to be the best mode of escape, it was beginning to look fruitless in Summanus's eyes. Even if they can dig their way out of here, can they do it in enough time? They have no idea how deep they can dig before they can have any hope of escape. Not to mention the limited oxygen they would all have. If this is going to work then hopefully their is some cave or lake as BattleDemon mumbled.
No! He can't think this way! Summanus has no intentions of dying in this place. They have to dig, dig to freedom. As they digged Schemeko just looked at them all. It would seem his plans of being noticed by Rashid are placed on hold again. They would suspect something if he didn't dig along with them. Already he feels that he may be overstepping his trust in everyone. He doubts if anyone trusts him. That doesn't matter in the meantime he might as well lend a paw in these efforts. So Schemeko dug despite him finding this rather foolish. They began to dig deeper as a sizable hole was being made, but this felt more like labor to Schemeko than escape. It seemed better to just wait for Rashid's wolves to intervene. Of course Rashid could find joy in all of them burning, or he could dislike his little contraption being burnt like this. It would seem digging would be his only option at the moment, he doesn't need these wolves getting the idea of confronting him.
Schemeko nodded at Nova's words as he grinned, "Well we all make mistakes." He chuckled as he went about his digging. Durandel dug quicker than most, he wanted out of here most of all. He hated being locked up here and being subject to some other wolf's whims. He will escape and once he does, he's going to make Rashid answer for all of this hell he put them through. That is if they ever do get to Rashid again, he has the feeling Rashid isn't the type of wolf to welcome unexpected visitors.

BattleDemon
BattleDemon watched their fruitless effort. Her throat began to clot with smoke, her throat becoming dry making it difficult to speak. She croaked, "They have Arlyne wolves fight too." She panted, her voice already hoarse. "Lake has.. to be somewhere." Her head was ready to explode from this exhaustion of speaking and thinking through the black smoke inside her head. She tried to glare at Summanus but she couldn't muster enough energy to bare her teeth and glare all she could do was... Stare. So, instead of trying to "glare" she growled out her disapproval. Good thing the lightning wolf didn't burn out her vocal cords or the insides of her chest.

Blossom, Drais, and Blue
No Name grinned but not before nodding at Drais. She growled out her delight in a puppy growl, not hearing all of Tiberius's words. "Yay!" She rolled over and sniffed the Blossom.
Drais looked down at her then looked at Tiberius. The young pup was... more mature than No Name mentally and physically. He took note of this and motioned to No Name with his snout. "Your name is now Blossom."
Newly Named Blossom looks up at Drais and nods. She looked calm for a minute but then she couldn't hold it in anymore and she wagging her tail, her wing was flapping crazily and she was running around both Drais and Tiberius.
Blue pricked her ears up at the way Blossom was. She felt like joining in on the happy parade but somehow she thought the parade wouldn't be so happy if she showed her face. She peered closer, sticking her snout out from the long grass she was hiding in. Maybe if she got closer, and made herself seem as small as possible, obviously giving Drais the I'm-too-small-please-don't-hurt-me act he wouldn't hurt her. Blue's diamond eyes gleam as she barks a small yip while crawling foward, her tail tucked between her legs.

Nova
Nova had dug a hole or two in his life, especially in his younger years, but never had he dug with the fervor and energy he had now. Regardless of how hopeless he felt the whole expedition was, he decided that it if he was going to participate, he may as well give it his all. Digging into earth was certainly easier than digging into ice or snow, and the amount of progress they were making was encouraging. In fact, they were moving so quickly that the heaps of displaced earth next to the pit was beginning to grow large enough that some dirt would seep back into the hole they were digging, slowing their progress.
Suddenly, Nova fell flat on his face. It had felt like one of his legs had disappeared from under him. Raising his head, he saw that his right foreleg had indeed fallen into the ground, and it took a moment for the Ausi to right himself. The ground they were digging on was apparently even shallower then he thought, for his leg had fallen through into a hole were the floor had become thing enough to collapse in on itself. Peering in the small hole, he could see nothing, not by the light of the fire, nor that of the artificial sun.
"Hey Canicus! Try using your brute digging power over here, I think we might be on to something." Nova proclaimed over to Durandel, recognizing that he was a faster digger. Plus, if the floor gave way again, Nova didn't want to be the first one to fall. Rude maybe, but practical.

Tiberius
Of course, Tiberius was not at all pleased with the newly minted name Drais had given Feathers. She already had a perfectly good name, one that he had come up with! He told them so with no small amount of indignation, even pointing out, once again, that she had made flower, and not a blossom.
His rant slowly died off, however, once he realized how pleased she was with this particular name. Maybe he could compromise and give her a cool compound nickname. Blossom-Feathers...Feather-Blossoms...Feablosers. As he was thinking, he noticed the young Alva had once again tried to slide into the picture as meekly as possible. He had to give her kudos for trying, but if he knew Drais well enough, which he probably didn't, the older wolf would chase her off again. Pity.

Summanus, Schemeko, and Durandel
Durandel perked his ears up as he heard Nova call him. "Hm what is it?" Durandel spoke as he walked over to his position. He noticed the hole. "Oh we may find an end after all." Durandel spoke as he began to dig. He enlarged to hole but with out even knowing it, the consistency of the ground couldn't hold up the Canicus. "WAAAAAHHH!" Durandel shouted as he fell down the excavated hole. He rolled and tumbled down what felt like a hill. He then managed to hit the floor.
"DAMMIT!" He shouted. As he stood up, it was dark and he couldn't see a thing. Durandel walked around but he kept on stumbling on rocks. He would lit his way but if the others followed they would be burned by the lava.
Summanus heard Durandel's shout and investigated the hole. "Durandel!" "Are you alright!?" Summanus called. Durandel's ears perked.
"Is that you Borak?" "Hey come down here and give me some light!" Durandel spoke. Summanus heard the request and then sighed.
"Might as well get down there and see if there is a way out." Summanus spoke as he slid down the hole reaching Durandel. When he reached the floor Durandel walked towards him.
"Come on use your lightning to light up this place." Durandel spoke. "Alright but don't get to close to me." Summanus warned as he began some electric discharge. The volts lit up the underground slightly but enough to see their two front paws in front of them. Summanus began to scout ahead, what he noticed was something unexpected. There were no walls enclosed around him. "Hey Durandel I'm going to turn up the power, stand back." Summanus warned as he released more electricity lighting up the cavern even more. What they saw confirmed Summanus's hunch. They were inside a large cavern. Durandel saw the underground caver and then called up to the others.
"Hey everyone come down here!" "It's a huge cave!" Durandel shouted. Schemeko heard and only grimaced. "Oh no, not caves again." Schemeko spoke referencing to last time they were underground. Still it would seem Schemeko would have to go down there, or does he? Perhaps he could risk one final gambit. He decided to wait until everyone else went before him.
Durandel perked his ears up as he heard Nova call him. "Hm what is it?" Durandel spoke as he walked over to his position. He noticed the hole. "Oh we may find an end after all." Durandel spoke as he began to dig. He enlarged to hole but with out even knowing it, the consistency of the ground couldn't hold up the Canicus. "WAAAAAHHH!" Durandel shouted as he fell down the excavated hole. He rolled and tumbled down what felt like a hill. He then managed to hit the floor.
"DAMMIT!" He shouted. As he stood up, it was dark and he couldn't see a thing. Durandel walked around but he kept on stumbling on rocks. He would lit his way but if the others followed they would be burned by the lava.
Summanus heard Durandel's shout and investigated the hole. "Durandel!" "Are you alright!?" Summanus called. Durandel's ears perked.
"Is that you Borak?" "Hey come down here and give me some light!" Durandel spoke. Summanus heard the request and then sighed.

BattleDemon was halfdead as it is, why not throw in a jump into a underground cavern beneath a giant pit where a mad brute has his "entertainment" and the idea of just giving up? She growls before getting to her paws, cracking open closed wounds causing shocks of pain to accompany her. She half jumped half fell into the cavern barely even keeping herself from just landing splat on the ground by landed on her front paws and then shifting the weight like a normal wolf, but the pain was still there. Tiny cuts hurt, but the big gaping wounds like the one on her side were filled with dirt, dead grass, and... yippy, it was oozing more blood that would vital to her survival. She waited grabbing her bearings to stand and move away from the area where the others wouldn no doubt fall.
BattleDemon limped slowly away to investigate the rest of the cavern. She felt her paws sink into some fleshy icky stuff. She looked down to see black-ish colored mud that felt sort of like clay. She kept her head down, smelling the ground and then.. She was lapping up some water at the far wall. The water pooled against the wall, it was darkened at the center of the puddle size pool. Battle, thinking to clean her wounds trodded into the pool, but only to feel the ground beneath her fall away and she was drowning. The water making her wounds sting for a moment but she was snorting up water and she moved her paws and limbs into a dog paddle to where she thought she entered the water from. Her head broke the surface and she was dragging her half dead carcass into the mud. She barked at the others. "Here!"

Nova
It was indeed a decent sized drop, but not one so deep that you had to stumble forward once you landed. Having made said jump without thinking too much of it, the first thing Nova noticed was not the eerie shadows and shapes of shade that bounced around the cave as a result of the Borak's light, but rather the drastic drop in temperature that the Ausi felt as soon as he fell out of the inferno above. It was quite refreshing, especially the damp mud on his weary paws.
Hearing BattleDemon's call, Nova trotted over to her pathetic form that lay in the mud. The lake came up rather suddenly, it wasn't a smooth transition into the water like one might find on the shore of a lake, but rather like a small muddy ledge that dropped for about thirty centimeters before meeting up with the freezing pond. It looked like it would be rather hard to pull oneself out after jumping in, there was hardly anything to grab onto for support. It was a wonder BattleDemon made it out as quickly as she did.
Nova didn't really fancy swimming. Perhaps he could freeze the surface of the water and they could just walk across? It all depended on how low the ceiling came. He called over to the Borak to come over and shed some light on the situation, after which he turned to BattleDemon and said with a hint of concern, "I realize this is quite a stupid question, but are you alright?"

Summanus, Durandel, and Schemeko
Summanus ears perked up when he heard BattleDemon. He feared for the worse. Then when he looked towards her she called for everyone to come over there. Durandel answered this call as he walked over to the muddy water. "Yuck." Durandel spoke. Canicus are not much for water, especially this muddy stuff. It was then Nova called over Summanus as he stepped closer. He then noticed the water and resisted to proceede any further.
"I hope I can shine enough light from this distance, otherwise I can go no further," Summanus paused, "Boraks and water do not exactly mix." He commented. He could see quite a bit of water actually. It would seem BattleDemon's hunch was correct, the question is how did she even know?
Schemeko remained above the hole as he watched Fox, Mydnyte, and Cerise move down the hole. It was only him and the Kita left above. Schemeko began to conflict with his previous idea. It would only work if Rashid noticed something was amiss and sent his goons in here. The only hope he had was the fire. His thought is that allowing this fire to rage as it has been, could only mean they are allowing it to grow. Hopefully suspicion would build up in him asking the question, Why haven't they begun to snuff out the fire? Hopefully he would find this off and send someone to control the situation. If he does most likely he will send in a bunch of goons in case of an ambush. To their surprise they will only see him, well they would if fate happens to throw him a bone. Son in the meantime this is all fanciful dreaming and Schemeko should prepare to join the others. Worst case scenario they become suspicious of him and leave him behind down below. Or perhaps kill him. Who knows?

BattleDemon looked at all of them, seeing from the light of Summanus that they were okay, the same from before they arrived in this pit of death. They were safe and almost in good health. Battle then looked at Summanus and was startled by his look of concern. It made her uncomfortable after realizing that some of the other might care for her like a friend. She was a lone wolf, not used to the emotions of other wolves... Or at least she still thinks she's a lone wolf. So, of course BattleDemon went back to worrying about herself. Her legs were not coated with mud and her coat was glittering. Beneath the wet muddy fur, her lack of food was showing. Her bones were easily seen now, the line of her shoulders and the bony way her ribs stuck out. She's be lucky if she even survived the swim out of the place.
BattleDemon looked back at Summunus then growled, "Lights out." She was meaning for him to shut the electricity off. Some part of her reasoned that it was because he was close to the water and the others were near enough to be harmed by it, but she was a bit... Traumatized by the event of being electrocuted. Besides, she was still half in and half out of the water. Her tail and back legs were still drowning in the coolness of the aqua she now really appreciated.

Drais detested the little pup. He growled, seeing Blue at the corner of his eyes. When she inched closer again, he turned to glare menacingly at her. Blue was afraid of being attacked but she had to try. Her family was gone, she had no one but this small pack of strange cubs and the lone shadow wolf. She made a small yipping sound. Drais glared then looked at Tiberius and Blossom, before asking a qustion, "Do you want her to stay or go?" Blossom turned to look at Blossom and instantly found a bitter dislike of the pup. She shook her head and looked at Tiberius. "Tiberius?"

Nova
Following his rhetorical question to BattleDemon, Nova realized that he had been rather inconsiderate asking Summanus to come so near the water. It was, after all, like asking an Ausi to come get warm near a camp fire. Still, the Borak had come close enough that the pool could be better illuminated, and the water was pristine enough that Nova could see some distance down into it. The water was clear enough to be translucent for a good ways, for there was nothing naturally occurring in the cave that would stir up sediment to make the water murky.
Not garnering much from his look into the pool - it was too deep to see the bottom, but did that mean? - Nova decided to see if there was anything interesting around it. Nope, it was pressed against the wall, that was about it. There was no walking around it, only eerily staring into it. There really wasn't anything else in the cave of note besides the pool, and there was no going back up. Glancing at the opening from the above as he thought this, he noticed Schemeko and Alina had yet to join the group in the cave. Did they fancy getting scorched? No matter, it was their choice.
"I suppose there is no getting around this, but is anyone here a particularly agile swimmer? This pool could lead to an above-ground spring. Is anyone willing to take that chance?" the young Ausi asked, returning to the group about the water.

Tiberius
"Well 'er...she hasn't exactly cause any more trouble than I have so fah...has she?" Tiberius said, somewhat meekly. He didn't like to stand on the unpopular side of an issue, and consequently his eyes were shifted downwards at the ground. The Arlyne did speak his mind though, after all, this pup hadn't been any worse to him than Feathers...er...Blossom had been, so what was the problem?
"So I guess if dat's why your sendin' her away...you should probably send me too..." Tiberius continued, naively.

Summanus, Schemeko, and Durandel
Durandel groaned as he heard Nova speak those words. He grimaced at the thought of swimming through water. Water in his mind, was only good for a drink. He would much prefer the fire right about now. Still, it would seem it had to be done. Durandel slowly walked up to the edge of the pool and spoke.
"I'm not an Arlyne but if I had to I could make the trip." Durandel gruffly spoke. "I've spent enough time swimming under lava and well, water can't be that much different right?" Durandel rhetorically asked.
Summanus heard BattleDemon's growl and decided to shut down the flow of electricity. After all, he could send a random jolt by accident and seriously hurt someone. Especially with the amount of water here. "Well I hope everyone got a good enough look at the place." Summanus spoke. "Otherwise we need someone with more reliable lighting down here." Then Summanus thought, "Where is that Kita?" "Her light would prove more useful and safer than mine." Summanus spoke. He noticed neither her or the Hemlock has shown. Are they worried about the drop? He was sure the Kita could manage considering she has wings, and the Hemlock doesn't seem to be the type to little something so little stop him. Could the fire have something to do with it? Summanus wasn't sure.
Schemeko knew he couldn't wait much more longer. It was either now or never...

BattleDemon snorted at Summuns's words. She looked up at the ceiling and just as expected patchs in the upside down floor began to glow a faint greenish yellow. It lit up the cavern slowly, becoming brighter the longer there was darkness. She let out a sigh that tired wolves make, the kind a wolf makes just before they give up. Her blue eyes reflecting the green glow. Battle dropped her head into the soppy mud, and her breathing slowed, she could just give up. She should. There was nothing that anchored her here anymore.
BattleDemon stared at the glowworms above. They would be ugly up close, but from here, they were beautiful. Wasn't death beautiful? She was a Alva, a death wolf. Shouldn't she know? She bathed in the blood of her enemies and fought in many battles. She had worked alongside death since she was born. Her siblings death. The way she killed her own brother. She's never been thing close to being welcomed into hell, which is where she knows she'll end up in. A killer like her, a traitor of her pack, killer of her siblings, killer of her own life, her own cubs, should end up in hell, not heaven. "So beautiful..." She whispered out watching the glow of the worms grow stronger.

Nova
Nova's ear flicked at the sound of BattleDemon's remark, but unfortunately for the Alva, Nova was too concentrated on her long term welfare than her comfort right now. He was thinking that if Durandel went down into that watery chasm, and found that there really was nothing down there, could the lava wolf break the surface in time on his return trip? If he went with the Cancius, perhaps he could assist him in the return trip by creating a block of ice that would rocket the pair of them to the surface as soon as they ran out of air. That would allow them both to stay down there longer have a better chance of a return journey.
However, Nova wasn't exactly comfortable going into the watery grave. While he was fine enough swimming on the surface, he had never actually tried swimming any deeper in water than slightly over his head. He knew from those who had it was a completely different experience. They say that once you start going deep enough, the water starts a battle against your ability to hold your breath, sometimes feeling like the air was being forced out of your lungs. Would he even be able to concentrate enough to be able to make the necessary amount of ice to float back to the surface?
Against his doubts, Nova decided to take the plunge. "I could help the Cancius out" Nova volunteered, explaining his idea about the ice. There still was the problem of light however. Even the dim light coming from the fire above, and this strange new phosphorescence beneath, there would be little chance of seeing any deeper than a meter under water.

Durandel, Summanus, and Schemeko
Durandel snorted at the thought of delving into the water, but having the Asui with him might not be that bad. Still he wondered how long he could hold out in water. Is it the same as lava or is it different? With lava it's slow moving and requires strength to delve deep. As lava is like trekking through mud, as one must keep momentum to push through something that wishes to suck you down. Lava isn't as bad as deep mud, but it can become still making it difficult to push through. It's almost as if climbing a hill made of sticky honey. Water on the other hand, seems to move much more faster than lava. Would strength be useful? Or does it require speed to keep up with the water? Well if things go wrong he could try and rely on the Asui's plan, even though he can't imagine how that would work.
"I still don't like the idea, but the idea of staying down here I like even less." Durandel spoke as he entered the water. "Crap! It's cold!" Durandel complained. He was much use to the heat of the lava, that was the best thing about swimming in lava. Water it's always cold, and seems to get under your skin and chill you to the bone. "Come on Asui, let's get this over and done with!" Durandel griped, he didn't want to stay in the water any longer than he has too.
Summanus looked at BattleDemon with a confused expression. Beautiful? What's beautiful? He thought perplexed. Summanus looked around until he noticed BattleDemon was looking up. Summanus looked up to see many, glowing little things. "Glow Worms?" He mumbled some what surprised. He didn't know that any creature lived around here of it's own accord. "Hm." He mumbled as he looked on.
Schemeko couldn't hold out on false hopes. His plans were once again delayed. Still perhaps there maybe secret entrances down below. Without much to loose Schemeko hoped down the hole, not paying any attention if Alina would follow. He came to a skidding halt as he reached the floor. He heard the voices of the others and headed to their general direction. "Hello everybody!" Schemeko whimsically spoke. "Are we having fun yet?" He spoke as he chuckled.
"Speak for yourself." Durandel spoke with a slight shiver. "Oh started swimming without me eh?" "Decided to play in the puddles like pups now huh?" Schemeko joked. Durandel growled, "Hardly...besides I played in lava when I was a pup!" Durandel snorted. He still impatiently waited for Nova.

BattleDemon swallowed a lump in her throat, still thinking of her own death and if she should just give up. It would be easier, but didn't she always choose the hardest way possible to remind others that it could still be done? She didn't know what would happen to the others after she died. Would they swim through the many water tunnels below and end up drowning? Their bodies floating to the surface bloated and stiff? Or would they swim their way to freedom to feel the breeze groom their coats? So many ways for them to die and lose themselves to dangerous current. She needed to make sure they survived this. The feeling of her true spirit gnashed its teeth at the thought of giving up. She was Demon, and not one Demon in her family has ever given up, and so she would not either.
BattleDemon forced herself to remember the ugly world above. It's ugliness and it cruel ways of manipulating the wolves into doing things they never thought they could. She remembered the snapping of her jaws, her teeth digging into prey, the blood gushing into her mouth. Renewed at the idea of hunting and remembering to keep the others safe she inhaled deeply, smelling the musty air here. She would not give up. Battle twisted her head so she could see Nova and Durandel standing at the water's edge. Softly, she spoke to them, sounding for once like a caring wolf. "Be careful."

Nova
Nova had long ago realized that it was the moment of decision that was the most nerve racking of any difficult task. Standing on the edge of a cliff before the jump was always worse than the actual falling part, as the mind always seems to be trying to think of the worst possible outcomes of a given endeavor. What if they hit their head and were knocked out? What if there was some kind of subterranean eel down there waiting to devour them? What if Rashid was waiting down there, watching as his plan is carried out to the letter?
So without further ado, Nova shook his head and leaped into the pool immediately after Durandel was done jesting with Schemeko, swimming underwater as soon as he got a good breath of air. As he began the struggle against his own buoyancy to swim down, Nova puzzled over something he had heard before his ears were underwater. BattleDemon's well wishes. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time she had said something like that to him. Sure she had demonstrated caring actions before to the group, like standing up to SkyDancer or formulating the plan to fight against Rashid, but she had never said it out loud. Did that take more effort than just doing the actions? Perhaps. Regardless, her words heartened the Ausi to swim deeper.
Well, regardless of how high his new found morale was, heart never lit up darkness. Nova hadn't seen a thing since his eyes submerged in the water. As his lungs were starting to press for air, he felt along the sides of the well to orient himself. There was no mud on the walls, just rough rock. Not much to go on, but at least he had made progress. It was useless without light however, he could have swam past another channel without seeing it. Deciding to test out his rapid emerging plan, Nova took a moment to concentrate. Just as his lungs were beginning to burst, Nova was able to create a decent sized block of ice beneath him, and immediately felt its push until his head broke the water.
"This venture is useless unless we have light. Why don't you guys throw a few of those glowy worms down in here while we swim? That should give use something to see with." Nova suggested, panting between every couple of words.
Nova had long ago realized that it was the moment of decision that was the most nerve racking of any difficult task. Standing on the edge of a cliff before the jump was always worse than the actual falling part, as the mind always seems to be trying to think of the worst possible outcomes of a given endeavor. What if they hit their head and were knocked out? What if there was some kind of subterranean eel down there waiting to devour them? What if Rashid was waiting down there, watching as his plan is carried out to the letter?
So without further ado, Nova shook his head and leaped into the pool immediately after Durandel was done jesting with Schemeko, swimming underwater as soon as he got a good breath of air. As he began the struggle against his own buoyancy to swim down, Nova puzzled over something he had heard before his ears were underwater. BattleDemon's well wishes. In fact, he couldn't remember the last time she had said something like that to him. Sure she had demonstrated caring actions before to the group, like standing up to SkyDancer or formulating the plan to fight against Rashid, but she had never said it out loud. Did that take more effort than just doing the actions? Perhaps. Regardless, her words heartened the Ausi to swim deeper.
