•Pond Dust Magic Wolves• Part Ten: Recluse's Past •Chapter One: The River•

Recluse: My eyes narrowed. I knew I should trust one of my grand-daughters, Sage. But when I saw her solemn face, heard the news and saw the blood on their paws.... "Murderers..." I mumbled at first. "Murderers! Killing your mother! You sick sinners!"

Violet: I winced at the thought of killing my mother... I couldn't think of killing Danalli! But I did kill my daughter... I pressed into Dialga.

Sage: "What! We fell into the water and she saved us! She had a gash in her throat-"

Recluse: "That you made!" I snarled.

Sage: "Aaron and I didn't kill her!"

sage: "Aaron stop! I know my family should not accuse me but I don't need you threatening my grand-mother!" I growled.

Recluse: I sighed. "I shall not accuse you of murder unless further evidence... Danalli's father would be proud of you..." I whispered.

Iron Claw: "Wait? Danalli the first's father?! What do you know of him?"

Recluse: "What do you mean? He was my mate?"

Iron Claw: "I mean who was he?"

Recluse: "His name was.... Uoneko."

Iron Claw: "Uoneko.... Aaron! Remember the name!" I chose the first wolf I saw to carry such an important job.... I sighed.

)Wowww. What next?(


Aaron growled still but backed down.

Sage: I snorted

)Pfff epicness post.(

Aaron barred his teeth at Recluse, and eyed Iron Claw. "What now?"

Iron Claw: "We keep going."

Sage: "Let it go Aaron..."

)Where have you been?(

Aaron nodded, and followed Sage into the dense forest.

(I moved and we just had the internet turned on, sorry :P)

Sage: I howled suddenly. I heard howls from far in the distant. "The second group is ok... good." Then I heard an aggressive howl chorused with roars and growls and snarls. I froze. "Were closer than we think we are."

Aaron let a snarl of his own escape as he immediately went defensive. "Fire Wolf..."

Aeton spread his wings protectively, hovering over the pups of the pack. "Hazard!" He barked.

The younger wolf looked worriedly at Aeton, and then to Time Talon. "Wh- what was that?"

Time Talon: I snarled. "He's far off, that Fire Wolf. But not far enough."

Sage: "I'll fight to my death."

Gun: I closed my eyes, picturing Remi and momma and daddy... I shook my head to clear the thoughts. "they're the past." I muttered to quiet to hear. "I'm fine Aeton, really!"

Time Talon: "Yes... they'll fight at sunrise tomorrow. I'm afraid it's already sundown... they have only time in their paws til they get there."

Danalli 1: "FLEUR IS DEAD!" I howled to the second group.

Time Talon: "Keep your chin up, boy!!! This is no time to cry for the dead! Fleur was a traitor anyway, that alpha! She had pups with a loner nobody knows! Sage may be our only hope! Just pray to Star Dust she isn't killed."

Sage: "Aaron...." I gasped. My vision cleared and I ran to the head of my pack. I sat there and signaled for silence. The pack sat behind me as I gazed into the fiery pits of hell ahead of me. The Fire Wolf lived there... the image of Satan himself. I never thought I'd be the one to try and slay him... "Recluse no!" I howled.

Recluse: "SPARK GIVE ME YOUR STRENGTH!" I snarled as I flew past Sage. My torn and battle-scarred wings stretched out. I landed onto a rock and stared at him. "Lucifer!" I snarled. He grinned. The Fire Wolf... usually just the fiery outline of a wolf 30 times bigger than me, was now a full demon.

Fire Wolf (Lucifer): I grinned. "I've tasted blood far better than yours, madam!" I showed my teeth.

Iron Claw: I raced to stand besides Recluse but she put her wing infront of me. The rest of the pack entered the cave but only me and Recluse stood on the rock jutting out into the endless pit of lava. "PROTECT SAGE AT ALL COST!"

Aeton nodded. "Trying!" He said semi-sarcastically. Still- Fleur was an Alpha.

Aaron's vision resumed whenever he was touching Sage, so he stayed close and in front of her. "Everyone! Divide into Defense and Attack!" He howled.

Sage: "Aaron, that won't work! We need every wolf to fight!"

Iron Claw: "Finally Miss Blind Alpha has a good idea."

Sage: "Shut up! We're facing Satan!"

Recluse: "Lucifer. I give you a chance, step down and become a normal wolf again, or die."

Iron Claw: "I shall give my father no chance! I'll slay him if needed! He killed Iron Roses!" I felt something inside me... A new fire was lit and I was terrified of myself... Alice! Alice was dead! I felt it... "give me your strength, my love." I whispered. I leaped for the Fire Wolf. "YOU KILLED MY MATE!"

Sage: "Aaron, at this rate he'll kill himself!" I began to run forward to grab the black and red half-demon-half-wolf.

Violet: I stopped my great-granddaughter. "No...If he wants to die to be with Alice and his sister... he'll let his father kill him... he knows what he's doing."

Sage: "But he was like a father to me! Iron Claw means something to the whole pack! What will become of him? Kasumi, his mother belongs to Star Dust... but his father is Lucifer.... where will he go? Heaven or Hell?"

Violet: "Wait... Sage... you can see right now, can't you?"

Sage: "Yes..."

Fire Wolf: "My son, my blood. The son of Satan himself has come to face me. All you have to do is utter the Prayer of a Demon. You can be Satan when I step down."

Iron Claw: "Never!"

(Epicly thought of my friend!)

Fire Wolf: "Ah yes, Aaron." I directed my attention to him. "You, little sinner, didn't deserve sight. When I blinded you years back, You thought you would regain it, but you didn't. But you can see when you're little mate can see correct? Well sir, prepare to die-"

Sage: "AAAREEAAYYYY!!! I screeched and fell in besides Iron Claw, running to the Fire Wolf. i can break his shield.... I hit the Fire Wolf and we fell. He staggered up and lunged at me.... he knocked me back.... back towards the lava.
