Returned!, Maui is back.

Maui trotted back into the Moridae lands. He had slept before he came, and now he was refreshed and back. He was here with the infernal rodent that Kazuo had requested, and he also had some information. If Kazuo didn’t accept him…well then he’d…he’d. He wasn’t sure what he would do actually. Probably snap and attack her in frustration. He hoped that would not happen, because he dearly wanted to be in this pack. It just seemed right to him. He inhaled the swampy Moridae scent and then sat down the white and brown rabbit. His orbs darted around; the Alphess wasn’t in this part of her lands. Nor was Atlas or Arohkien, or any of the Avaro wolves. Good sign on the Avaro, bad on the Moridae part.

He wondered if there were any even here. The colorful brute frowned a moment and then decided that his best bet would probably be to howl. So howl he did. Maui lifted his head and ripped out a strong howl, one that definitely announced his arrival and succession. Perhaps that Lady Kazuo would arrive soon. If not, Maui smirked. We would just see about these lands here.

Kazuo trotted back into her lands, glad that she finally got to speak with Daedan, and it also seemed that he had some intelligence coming back to him as well. Now she was back in her lands…back to no one. She frowned, but then the frown evaporated as a scent filled her nostrils. She lifted her head and rapidly sniffed the air. There was a scent of an unrecognized pack, but beneath that was Maui. Maui! So he had returned. The Alphess grinned and began to barrel in the direction and then heard a strong howl from him. She spotted the colorful brute just as he finished returning his head to a normal position. She grinned widely as she saw what lay at his paws. A rabbit. This was great.

Her massive frame moved before Maui and sat down, the smile still there. “So Maui, my friend, you have returned…even with the item that I requested. But you not only came back with that, but could it be, the faint scent of a pack? I know that you aren’t of that pack, for the scent would be much stronger, and you wouldn’t dare return to me like this if you were. So, tell me, what pack and leader inhabits the lands over there?” She said, not expecting it in the least to be Ra’an. Or that Ra’an would now be pregnant.

“Oh yes, and you are accepted into the pack…Subordinate for now though.”

The massive grey form approached the familiar lands once more. He had a debt to pay with Kazuou the Mistress of the Moriade, but he cvalled her lord because she wanted to. His saphiric gaze looking around once more as he approached, through the trees. Voices... there were only two, as he was closing in on them. Silent, as a deadly stalker, not even Kazuo would notice. His eyes watched, seeing that Maui, the off male came back, from what he heard of it. It sounded she was still lacking in numbers, though she must hate him for leaving the lands after his mate, but that story was over. It was time to start anew, in new lands. All he worked for has been accomplished in his past land. His eyes looking about before looking to Kazuo frame once more as his body shuddered for a moment. He was curious on how she will react when he shows himself once more. In the flesh, it will be Arohkien once more.

His grey molted frame entered, adorn with many scars that riddled his body from all his fighting experiances and battles, even wars he lead, multiple of them. He chuckled softly as he made his appearance, stopping shortly after he showed himself, giving a deep bow to Kazuo. "I have returned M'Lord" He said, his deep and rich voice echoeing out from him. Her head bowed to her, as he held the position in respect and apoligizing in a way at first. But there will be alot of debt undoing he would have to do to even possibly get on her good side again. His eyes stared at the ground, awaiting for her response to his presence once again, as he had left with a fae, she would probly be out ragious in fury that he would probly return, but he didnt care, he wanted a new life, and if it ment starting as an omega, so be it, thats how his last life started anyway. He kept his form stalk still as he awaited her.

Maui turned his head towards the Alphess as she came into the area and liked the grin that he saw…it was promising. The massive framed femme sat before him and then spoke. He nodded at her words, but would wait to speak. However, his time was interrupted as that brute came back. Aro had returned as well it seemed. He looked at the large, blue-eyed male for a moment and then back to Kazuo. “Thank you. And yes, and it wasn’t an easy thing to bring that rabbit back…it wasn’t the first one I wanted.” He snorted at the remembrance. “And it is a pack…and one that I am not of. It is the Fiatel lands, headed by a frisky young fae by the name of Ra’an.” He paused, wondering if he should mention her being pregnant…and by him as well.

The colorful brute indicated that he wasn’t finished. “And she is pregnant. While there were originally no other on her lands, one came near my departure, obviously perturbed that I had fought her and I suppose wanting to join her pack. Oh yeah, did I mention that we fought?” He said. How would Kazuo react to this news?

The large black and red femme was unaware of the presence of Arohkien. She was waiting intently for the response of Maui. Then, a scent that she recognized wafted into her nostrils and a chuckle reached her erect auds and then the view of Arohkien met her pale orbs. He uttered a single sentence and bowed his head respectfully and apologetically. Her lip curled silently as her hackles rose lightly, but pressed against her frame quickly. Her lip, however, remained curled and a threatening snarl came from deep within her being. “Indeed you have Aro.” She growled darkly and lowly. “Are you here to once more vow your loyalty to the Moridae pack? Or once more to take a mate and leave?” She spat the words as she felt a twinge that she disliked.

“Arohkien, you became a absconder to the pack, and that is something that isn’t taken lightly. You get half a plus for returning, but you still abandoned and were a deserter.” She said, letting her orbs bore into Arohkien, so that he knew she was serious. She was standing now, and about a foot or so away from the rueful male. She was one of corporal punishment. Without further ado, the lunged forward fluidly and parted her jaws just before her target was to be hit. Her aim was for his shoulder, but not to fight him, oh no. Her goal was simply to leave a little impression to show her authority and sternness. She turned away, if Arohkien wanted to be readmitted, he could say it.

She returned to her place before Maui. “Now.” She listened to his words and felt her maw open slightly. Ra’an! She and Daedan had pushed her into the river…but she lived obviously. “These things you tell me are interesting and helpful Maui…thanks.” She would definitely have to investigate the presence of Ra’an, but not just yet…perhaps giving her time for her whelps to be born. Then dear ol' Aunty would pay a visit…

Arohkien stoo still, listening to her words. He knew she was disliking him at the moment, but indeed he did leave, but for his old life again, to finish what he had started. His eyes looked at her form obediantly. Not speaking and keeping int he bowed positioned. He closed his eyes slowly as he saw he lunge, expecting the pain. He didnt yelp, nor flinch at the sudden pain in his shoulder. She did leave a nice pretty impression on his shoulder, it bleeding slightly but he didnt bother with it. He watched her walk away now, attending to her business like nothing happen. He waited for a second then lifted his head, watching Kazuo, something had more provoken her to give him a impression. He thought it wouldve been more serious punishment, but he was curious as to why she didnt give him such a hard time either. Something was up, yet he didnt know what yet. His saphiric orbs glanced to Maui then to Kazuo as he ready himself to speak once more.

"M'lord, I wish to be welcomed back into this pack. I had left with her because I had business that I thought was finished with. I had to return to my own home, and give a good reason to the Skah to fear me again. And to makesure, my predessecors gnabbed the throne. I am here, permenantly if you so wish. I will gladly take the Omega position to reaquire myself into this pack with the rank. Taken the punishment of a returned deserter, I will take more if you wish." He said, slwoly and carefully. Yes he might seem brownnosing at the moment, but there were other packs if Kazuo didnt want him back in, there were other lands that would need his presence in the near future, but will she gnab the oppurtunity to have a wolf that will fight to the death if so need be? And help protect her for the oncoming onslaught from the others? He wondered if she would reject him. Curious as he always was, he was testing her in a way, to see if she can recognize what he was offering. It was just a tad more then just a loyal follower. He would die to this pack, and make a blood bond to prove he will stay within the lands this time. But it all depended, if Kazuo wanted him back or not. He would soon find out.

Maui watched as Kazuo reacted hostilely towards Arohkien. Ouch, burn. He thought when she mentioned if he was here to be loyal or to take a mate and leave…so that was what had happened. Another fae had come, they became mates and he left at her willing. Maui grinned lightly. Then, Kazuo attacked him! But it was for a single nip on the shoulder and then the Alphess returned to sit in front of him. He nodded respectfully to her while he wondered inside if Kazuo would be rejected or once again accepted. Kazuo had seemed to like him when he was here before, but now…would he have delved deep enough into the dark fae enough to have her give him a second chance?

But Kazuo seemed very interested in his words, as if she knew Ra’an. Little did he know that she more than knew him…she was her sister! Arohkien’s shoulder was bleeding, and he spoke of his situation. Maui looked to Kazuo, he himself wondering if she would allow him back in and if she would give him more punishment.

Kazuo was in a sour mood. Not necessarily fully rotten, for she was somewhat content, but sour described it well. She wished to bite into Arohkien so much more than she did, but was pleased that his shoulder was bleeding a little bit. He didn’t run away from the attack, nor did he show any sign of pain. She had been busy with Maui before, but now…now Arohkien could have her full attention. She swung her body around and stared at him coldly as he spoke. Her lip curled into a dark smile. “You won’t be welcomed back into this pack Arohkien, no. However, you will be accepted and yes, as an Omega as you suggested. And there is more punishment in store, for leaving and beatings do happen to Omegas you know.” She paused. What had come of Kiowa and their love?

“What of Kiowa, should we be expecting her presence soon?” She said darkly and obviously not too pleased with the thought. “And if you EVER leave again, Aro, you will be hunted down and slaughtered.” She growled. The Alphess had begun to circle him. She was eying the brute, noting the existence of every scar, the way he held himself and such. As she went around his left side, she stopped beside him and lunged forward for his lip. She grabbed it, and then she held it tightly and pulled back. The lip was a place not attacked a lot, but when it was it caused a lot of pain, usually swelled and bled. The Alphess then let go and sank her fangs into the aud that was leaning more towards her. She didn’t want to tear it off, but simply leave some nice throbbing sensations and a few teeth marks.

After this, she was content with his punishments. Content, she sat before Arohkien and to the side of Maui. Therefore, she was between the two males. She stared at Maui. “Same goes for you. Ever leave, and suffer.” She said.

Arohkien listened to her, so his history is to begin as low of the low once more? He smirked within the confines of his mind, knowing how this was going to turn out once more, though he had notice Kazuo was circling him now, he knew he was going to be in for more pain, but it didnt phase him, though her words about Kiowa. He gritted his teeth, he wouldnt speak about her to Kazuo, that was his business not hers. He kept his gaze straight ahead, not following her as it would show disrespect. He kept his stance lower then hers, out of more respect though she was slowly eekling it away. Though he was curious how this would handle. He knew for one, if any other pack membered even dared touch him, he wasnt going to hold back like a weak thing, he would retaliate, he wasnt a one to take beatings, and this one with Kazuo, was no different, though he kept the baying hounds at bay, not wanting to break infront of her, he knew she was trying to attempt it, and he didnt even let it show he was having any other thoughts upon his mind. Though he did reply to her. "Dont be expecting for her to return M'lord" He said slowly, and carefully as he listened to each footfall of the beast. He was waiting, biding his time to feel the surge of pain.

He knew it, where she was going to hit too. He resisted the temptation of stepping back and latching to her throat, embarassing her infront of maui, but he decided against it. Kazuo should think twice before giving him punishments, because he had a few tricks up his sleeve that would end her life or cripple her for life. But she was on the exceptions list for the moment.

When he felt the fangs sink to his lips, the only reaction was his body going rigid as he held himself in a firm hold. He wasnt going to let her tug his body, he would let his lip cut from her fangs, he didnt mind, nor care, he loved the pain as it shot through his nerves as a raging fire. Yes it was hard to hold back a yelp as the lips were very sensitive. Then his aud, out of all places his audit, he just let her take hold of it, drawing more blood. After when she moved away from him, the blood was trickling down his thick burly fur, drippting to the ground. He gave a deep gracefull bow to her, his maw touching the ground, his shoulder throbbed, his audit flicked, causing blood from it to be shot. His lip quivered as it was settling to its new tenderness at the rip. His voice rung out, unphased, nor did it quiver or a hint of pain show. "Thank you for the pleasurable pain M'lord" He said as he lifted from his bow then reclining upon his haunches. Staring at her and Maui for a moment, though his gaze lingered on Maui for a moment he shook his form free off dirt and blood. He would wait untill she spoke again. The small flicker of a sadistic smile was upon his lips, despite the pain. It had only brought him reprive and pleasure.

Maui watched in silence as Kazuo wheeled about and glared at Arohkien as he spoke. She let him come back as an Omega and then asked about Kiowa. He had no idea who this Kiowa was, but he had put two and two together, and figured out from the clenched jaw that it was someone important…to Arohkien anyway. She walked around him, saying that if he ever left he would be hunted down and slaughtered. She stopped when she came around the brute’s left side, and then lashed out and snagged his lip. Ouch. Maui thought. He let his tongue run over his lips, knowing that this attack must hurt.

She let go, but wasn’t finished. She grabbed his aud and chewed on that a bit and then she was finished. She sat between them and then wheeled her head to glare at him. He wondered what he did, but her words were simply a warning. He dipped his head. “I would never leave the Moridae, M’lady.” He said. He looked to Arohkien as he bowed so deep that his nares were resting on the ground and he…thanked her? Maui felt his brow furrow a little bit. Arohkien’s gaze lingered on him and the Omega shook, but his gaze had lingered on him.

Maui found no message in this look, but he knew it held something. There was no way that that was simply a look. Maui looked over the brute. He was definitely larger than him, yet a choice had put him at Omega. Maui felt like he wanted to speak to the brute, but not here. Not with Kazuo. He wanted to know more than Kazuo, and as there was but the three of them, it was Arohkien he wanted to speak with. He flicked his tassle absently and his gaze lingered on Arohkien orbs one, two, three, four, five seconds.

He looked over to Kazuo as he rose. “M’lady, I am going to look over the rest of the lands, patrol while I’m out.” He said and then began to trot away. He looked halfway back over his shoulder once, at Aro and then when he turned around was in the shadows and invisible to the other two Moridae wolves. Then, he was gone.

~Maui has left~

Kazuo knew that her words of Kiowa had bothered him. His jaw had become tight, and moved slightly as his teeth were grit together. His gaze was kept straight forward as he spoke. She nodded happily. “Good.” Arohkien had gone stiff as she attacked his lip. She eyed him now. She wouldn’t press him, for he wasn’t a wolf to hold the Omega position. However, he would serve his rank duties. If he attacked back, Kazuo would slam him to the ground. He could think that she didn’t know he could do some damage, and he could think that she didn’t know he could’ve attacked her when she gave him punishment. But she knew.

She eyed him suspiciously for a moment as he bowed so far as to let his maw touch the ground. As he spoke, the tender and bleeding lip quivered from the attack. He thanked her and she wondered for a moment if he was being smart or sarcastic about it. She gathered that it wasn’t and nodded. “Of course.” Arohkien smiled and Kazuo grinned at it. She had caught the flicker and grinned.

However, words from Maui caught her attention. He stated that he would never leave. “Course you won’t.” She said. They sat in a somewhat awkward silence for a minute or so until Maui once again broke the silence. She turned her large crania to look at him. She nodded, what he said required no words. She hadn’t seen his look to Aro, but when she looked back to him, he wasn’t there, but he was. He hadn’t left just yet, but the brute’s talent led him to be invisible in the shadows.

Kazuo then began to wonder if she should start their first meeting. No, not the pack’s, but the three, now she knew as four, Alphas. She figured that it would be her to start the first, but didn’t really feel like trekking right now. So she stayed. Little did she know that this was a wise choice, as the Avaro wolves were planning a raid right now.

Arohkien would remain seated for another minute or two in silence before he spoke. "M'lord, Is there any task you need me to do?" He hated being at the low of the low, but he has to work with it. Kazuo will see he wont remain an omega for long, and he will be damned if he will remain an omega more then a month. His gaze rested upon her footpads. Thinking one earlier things. Kazuo seemed to get really up tight about any faes that were around him. Ofcourse it just could be Kiowa and the fact he had deserted the pack, but he wouldnt take that into account. He will see what will come from her soon enough. He looked upon the pads of his lord, Kazuo. Awating for what she will say. His lip quivering slightly as the air stung it, but he paid no head to it. It was still bleeding quite a bit, but he wouldnt make an attempt to try and clean it. It was a wound from punishment, and it will remain there untill it scars. He wasnt a weak wolf that will cower under a alpha or alphess. Hell he would more challenge them then anything but Kazuo some how... was different. He wanted to see where this can go, what will happen and how his future upon the lands will be.

ooc: sorry for delay and crappy post!

Kazuo looked to Arohkien as he spoke. She grinned inwardly. “I need nothing as of right now, Aro.” She idly watched his lip bleed and slowly drip every now and then. “You are free to roam the lands as you please.” She said. The Alphess lay on the ground, pondering on information she had received from Maui. Ra’an was here, and alive. She and Daedan hadn’t killed her after all…and she was pregnant? Go figure that the most hyper and youngest one would end up with pups first. She wondered if she should go to the pact area, and call the first meeting. She could reveal her knowledge of Ra’an, make some snide comment about her and get Johan angry, not that he could do anything because of the time…but then she could reveal that she was alive.

Knowing Johan he would probably go to meet up with her as soon as he could, and want her to be part of their pact. Fine enough, so long as she understood the rules. Kazuo would be interested to see these pups when they were born…she wouldn’t want to kill them, even though they were spawn of Ra’an. She’d simply want to look at her nieces and nephews. Kazuo frowned as she thought. It was high time that the meeting was started, but why was she the only seemingly intelligent sibling and the one to take initiative for stuff like that? Daedan claimed to be smartest of them all, let him think that if he wanted to. Ra’an was way to giddy, unless she’d changed, and Johan was a rash pirate wannabe. Such an interesting family…

((OOC: That's okay and don't forget to postie in the User List!))

Arohkien nodded slowly and stood, remember the stare Maui gave him. He gave a deep bow before Kazuo and spoke "M'Lord, I will gain your favor soon, if you need of me, just send a howl.." he said before turning and beginning to trot out in his own direction, deciding to take his time getting Maui. It would be that important, though he seemed that brute wanted to talk to him, but he decided he would see what he wanted. He smiled softly, glancing back to Kazuo, he would be back soon, he wanted to talk to her, his body shifting slightly as he turned to look at her, she seemed.... like there was something to worry about. He sighed softly, he didnt like leaving her, but he wanted to know what Maui wanted. He turned around once more and left, leaving Kazuo alone, but he will be very soon incase something happenes.

Arohkien has left--
