Apocalyptica's Rainfall

[HyenaKing]

He read's the note, mutters curses under his breath, and says:
"Gotta think About it."
He slowly is realizing what is goig to happen if he declines.
"I'm In."
He then follows with a look at Luna again, still representing that that acceptation was a bigger facade.

[ShiroTenshiRyu]

Helios let a small smile escape as he watched Vulps follow silently behind at a short distance. After tromping across half the city he and Luna disappeared from Vulps view for a brief moment. Helios surprised Vulps and he threw a bag over his head shrouding Vulps's vision. "Don't freak out I just can't let you see how to get to our base until we accept you into our ranks."

[Tayy]

Luna drew one of her daggers as a precaution, a sad smile coming across her muzzle. She remember going through this as well, the anxiety that had come over her during it. "Just stay calm and quiet and you'll be fine," she gently took one of his paws and began leading through the darkness. "Oh, and don't try anything," she added, touching a pad on his paw with the point of her dagger. She smiled at Helios and continued, humming softly.

[HyenaKing]

He was thinking. Thinking alot. Thoughts passed though his mid. Trust. Fear. Mystery.
Bad things he thought were going to happen soon.
He started to just be very submissive on the trip.
He was plotting.

[ShiroTenshiRyu]

Helios pulled the bag off of Vulps head and turned to Luna smiling. "Well he's not the Gerbil, but my gut tells me he'll be a good addition." He turns to Vulps smiling. "Tell me Vulps why didn't you push down your masters vial. Seems like that's what a proper apprentice would do?" I sit polishing my blades while waiting for Vulps response.

[Tayy]

Luna giggled, opening the gate to this city's base. She began leading them down a dark corridor of stone stairs. "Indeed, I am curious as well. I thought I was going to have to fight both of you off while I was wounded," she muttered. As they finally reached the bottom, she felt around for a wooden brick amongst the stone and knocked, murmuring something in another language. A door was opened and she smiled at the boys before disappearing inside.

[HyenaKing]

"Well, i was thought going with it would invoke trust!"
He is Concerned, he starts acting slightly defensive, expecting something to happen.

[ShiroTenshiRyu]

"You thought right." Helios chuckled lightly. "It takes a lot of courage to stand up to one's master. Courage that the Guardianship could use." Helios looked to Luna with a smile and a small kiss on the cheek. "But you already impressed me it's Luna here who you've really got to impress. She's in charge here I'm just the muscle." Helios was sizing up Vulps he was by no means a small fox fur. In fact he was taller and bulkier than Helios despite the fact that Helios probably weighed more. Vulps was easily the most colorful fur he'd met to date, his fur a vibrant and fluorescent green with equally striking yellow markings. What came across to Helios as most interesting though was Velps lack of weapons.

[Tayy]

Luna smiled and rolled her golden eyes as the boys followed her inside. The door slammed shut behind them and an array of furs turned to see who entered. A few recognized her and she waved to them before it got quiet, all eyes turned to Vulps.


"Femmes and gentlefurs, allow me to introduce Vulps. He defied his master in order to tag along with us." a smile curled her lips as she motioned at him with a lazy paw. "He hasn't fully been accepted yet, obviously, however he is up to joining the Guardianship. Of course the pledge is left," she paused. There were  a few whispers that went around before it grew still again. "If anyone objects to gaining this new warrior, speak now as such." she slowly gazed at each and every pair of eyes, none looking away. "There you have it," she turned to the fox, bringing him forward. "We'll have Helios initiate the pledge and you'll be right in, so long as you  accept."

[HyenaKing]

He felt almost--welcomed. He sensed that not everyone wanted me to be here, doubt. He looks down and stares at his feet in fear of direct eye contact. He slowly looked up, ready to do as told. He was very, very nervous as because he did not know alot of people in this place. As he continued, he eventually composed himself enough to make this pledge.

[ShiroTenshiRyu]

Helios looked Vulps up and down once more. "Take this last moment and relish it. For once you say these words you are a member of the Guardianship. We are more than a rag tag team of fighters, we are family and we all welcome one another. We are the light in the ever increasing Darkness that engulfs our world. We are reason and restraint against a foe who promotes chaos and discord. We are agents or harmony and now we extend an offer to you to join us." Helios drew his dagger. "Zaryph," He said to a small Zebra fur stepped forward. "Bring Vulps a dagger." The Zebra darted out and quickly returned with a pitch black dagger similar to Helios and handed it to Vulps. "Now should you choose to join us you need only do as I do." Helios took his dagger and cut his hand barely allowing a small amount of blood out leaving his bloody paw print on the page of a large dusty tome on top of a pedestal. "I am the light that guides the fallen to redemption." Helios turned to Vulps. "The choice is yours."

[Tayy]

Luna watched with patience as Helios calmly proceeded. Though their initiation seemed olden, it held truest in its form; a blood bond. So many other paw prints were present in that same tome, including her own. Though they followed no single upper power, they all were united. The other furs raised their glasses in the anticipation of Vulps signing, no doubt cheers waiting to burst from their tongues.

[HyenaKing]

He Proceeded to accept and make the bond. He quickly suppressed his reaction when lots all around cheered. He was simply a nurse this morning, and look what he is now. He knew this was his destiny.
"My choice is here. I would be nothing without this."

[ShiroTenshiRyu]

"Choice is everything." Helios said sheathing his dagger. "Take me for example. I used to be a prince. But when my kingdom was ransacked and my family slaughtered I swore vengeance. In time I succumbed to the Darkness. If it hadn't been for Luna who knows where I'd be now." Helios gave a silent pause. "But enough of the past. Today your life restarted you are a Guardian now, or well will be once you've received a little training." He gave Luna a smirk. "I'll let her decide where to start you."

[Tayy]

"We'll start tomorrow," she murmured, turning to the crowd with her fist raised. "To a new warrior- a new soul!" she yelled out, gaining an even louder response. She grinned and lowered her hand, the cheers still sounding. Many furs surrounded Vulps in a welcoming. Luna smiled at Helios and headed to the bar in the base, waving down the tender, a violet tiger. "Luna!" He exclaimed, hugging her over the bar. She released him and hit him softly in the shoulder. "Krieg, good to see you. Listen, I want you to begin with some basic longsword training tomorrow with Vulps," she glanced back at the vibrant fox and raised an eyebrow. "Actually... try a bow. Maybe a crossbow or recurve. I feel like he'd be better with distance and calm," she laughed. Krieg nodded and she thanked him, returning to Vulps and Helios. "It's settled then." She found her way snug against Helios' side and called out to Vulps, "You'll be doing some bow training. Better get your sleep tonight- your arms are going to be sore tomorrow!"
