A quest for friendship!

As Shiki traveled he made sure to leave notches on the side of trees that he passed by. It was an old frontiers trick that explorers would use to keep track of where they traveled. The trick was simple. If you left a cut on the side of a tree you could look at its left side and see the gash later. So if you got turned around you would know which way to face.

Shiki started walking down the edge of the forest approaching the border of the woods as it started to clear out a bit. Maybe this was the area where the dire wolves were congregating. Shiki shrugged. There was only so much forest here and god knows how many dire wolves there were. I mean he would have to run into one eventually right?
Right?

Shiki found another paw print and started looking around once more. Shiki got low to the ground and put his hand over the size of the print and measured the depth of the print. The print itself was deep. Whatever animal that made it was heavy. Having a bit of knowledge on canines Shiki could tell this animal was of the canine family at least but from the size of this thing. Shiki smiled. This thing was going to be a monster. The young monster hunters teeth showed as he smiled.

Shiki paused for a moment and sat down on a rotting tree stump. His legs were getting tired from all this walking. A whole day in the woods was really taking a toll on his body. Shiki stretched out his legs and started to relax while keeping a look around him for whatever reason. He was much less worried about being snuck up on with Fang around.
Good dog.

Shiki stood up form the stump and started looking around again. Fang stuck his snout up air up in the air and his ears popped up. Shiki looked around and waited for fang to react. It was crazy how much he was already starting to depend on his reactions for his hunting. Shiki smiled and patted Fang. He was a good dog. Fang was much larger then Shiki was physically. it was satisfying having such a powerful friend.

Prepare, as another Dire Wolf shall surface

[Nekomata Minh]

[Enter Dire Wolf 2]



She stalked in a low posture unsure of what she wanted to do. Her pack would surely be heading out and, as one of the very rare female wolves to lead a pack it was quite a feat. She was used to defending herself as it as almost a routine that one of her own would eventually challenge her. She has always met a foe with equal passion in battle and, yet she was growing tired of this life.

Soon she'd probably consider stepping down and, letting the others decide for themselves. As a tracker she was phenomenal and, always kept pride in being able to keep up and, if so stay ahead of an opponent. However on this night she kept to herself. Occasionally looking up from her session of drinking the water to check her surroundings.

Eventually she would in fact sense him. She remembers a scent like this... The fabled one... Why was he here? His territory was far more over the ways from this area. Perhaps he wanted to claim this one for his own as well? That would not be any good. This was her place of relaxation and did not take lightly to trespassers running mockery of her domain. She isn't one to give up her land easily. Many other wolves have had to learn that truth the hard way. She is no killer. But, she will defend herself. But not here.

In a moment with her ears poised for noise she'd opt to get moving and bolt off with a quick stride and, disappear into the woods ahead of the lake from which she had been drinking from. She would take an easy stride though one that even an averagely skilled wolf could follow. Lets see how well this fabled intruder really is at being a menace...

Dire Wolf Nickname: "White Flicker"

Shiki watched as the white wraith like Dire wolf seemed to vanish into the forest. Shiki kept his body low close to the ground careful not to make any extra noise. Shiki looked over at fang and his ears were low back against his head. He had caught scent of her. So it was fair to assume She had sensed Fang as well. Focusing his monster hunters instinct he could see the wolf just past the line of trees towards a lake. Shiki wanted to impress fang this time. The eagle was cool but it was important to show off every know and then especially when you were in front of new company. Shiki gathered his lighting chakra and made 3 lightning clones. 

The clones were in a triangle formation and started to form mirrored hand seals with each other. Shiki gave them full permission to use the entirety of their abilities. They tapped into the power of Shiki's full combo Shiki would join them in his move. But this time Shiki needed to greet his new pet. The clones each released a volley of 55 Lighting Ravens. A massive total of 165 each with a two foot wing span came flying from the brush breaking off in all directions encircling the lake in a tornado of flying birds. Escape would be impossible and any attempt the Dire Wolf made to escape would be met by an aggressive swarm over lighting birds to back the creature up. It would only take one or two hits from a one to realize that it would only take a few to kill the dire wolf. 

Shiki would walk past the twirling flock of birds and stand within the wall of shocking electric birds as they flew past him. Obviously they would not strike him as long as his lighting clones held down their hand seals. Of course this wolf would have no idea that Shiki's clones would even exist. Shiki stand in front of the dire would his face cold. Fang would walk along and sit beside him an obvious sign of them being in the same Pack. Fang would set his head down on the ground in a sign of submissiveness as Shiki used his Venator gaze upon the wolf. His eyes would strike a paralyzing fear and unnerve the Dire Wolf. 

Shiki would speak as the birds continued to fly around him. "You are captured... You may either join my pack or die as prey." Shiki threw a wire cord on the ground. "Pick up your collar or I will end your life." Fang would gaze intently on the Female would as if begging for the wolf to join the pack.

[Nekomata Minh]

She had been mistaken on this one. Her usual confidence is enough to get by but, her ears picked up the sounds of an outnumbering force coming her way. It was way too unnatural to be from what she figured was the fabled one. But she did smell his presence this had to be something different. She would come to a halt as an enormous flock of electrified birds enclosed her position. From this situation there would be too many to charge through. She would be willing to take that risk. But then again there is no telling where it came from which fueled her will to know. 

Such an annoying issue that she had here. Looking for some kind of weakness. But as her smell senses picked up the previous signature a whole lot more she would turn around curiously, her sharp hazel eyes meeting a man and...the fabled one!! He... He had been captured? But then... This dire was already too discombobulated to focus as she watched with deep concern as a dire with one of the most remember able scents was actually kneeling in submission to this mere man? But how? 

Then looking into the man's eyes her overall structure tightened on itself. His presence itself was incredibly nerve racking let alone backing her options into a corner. Naturally her fear turned into denial as she'd glad  take this moment to lash out and fight to the death which is why she would dig her claws into the ground as he threw a so called collar in her presence. Such disregard for her well being. She would reel in her inner will before breaking the air with a powerful bark/growl in refusal. Even in the worst of moments a dire much look for a sheer thread to bite don on. And she was one of the many who had no problem doing it.

The reasons for the fabled one joining this trespasser mattered not. She wanted to strike, she wanted to show him her might. Her muzzle was locked into an anger filled snarl but her body...trembled. This was not optimal but, she feared letting her pride falter now. If he so wished to take one of her kind then he'd do so over he dead body...right? She would bark and growl once more but it was weaker than the first even towards the fabled one. Then in a moment of faith she would let loose a long and piercing howl.

One that many would hear. And yet in a matter of a minute a pack of at least 6 wolves would begin to show up. They would simply watch by taking a seat from outside of the bird rattled lightning cage as they watched their leader eye all of them. Then a lower howl would come one Fang would understand. This howl. Was her retirement as a pack leader... And from there the other wolves would howl with her in mourn before she would take a seat in front of the man. Her trust was very dim...but she would follow...
