They were at the wall. His pulse started to increase as they neared the entrance, the thought of exploring beyond the confines of Gemini was such a delicious temptation.
Zeke hated the wall, hated the blatant display of cowardice they'd chosen to portray to the outside world. The towering figure stank of fear and paranoia, a neon sign pointing to a group of traitors hiding behind a shield who hoped they wouldn't have to use it one day. Tauro's death had set into motion a series of events that Zeke was forced to tolerate. Rules were added, security was increased, people had become paranoid. Even so, it irked him like a thorn in his side and he tried his best to ignore it. Sharp golden eyes spotted his sisters frown and he wondered if the sight of the wall made her think of the fallen prince as well. Zeke's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a soft, feminine voice calling from outside. 'Do you know Saboro?' Amen squeaked at him and his brows rose in surprise as he watches how excited she becomes. How frightened. Zeke wasn't frightened or excited like his sister, merely curious and at the same time vastly disappointed that their little impromptu road-trip had been cancelled. He'd been looking forward to escaping Gemini for a few days. The dark boy followed his sister at a much slower pace, steps unhurried as he shuffles along sullenly behind Amen. He arrived just in time to hear his sister saying, "We'll escort you in, we'll.. keep you safe, okay? You don't want to go back, right? I won't let them take you back, I promise." Zeke tilted his head slightly as his molten gaze scrutinized the fragile female figure before them. He was utterly unimpressed. What a disappointment. He didn't know what he'd been expecting honestly, but it certainly hadn't been this tiny waif of a thing. She was thin and unkempt, her eyes tired and her body sagging with exhaustion. This was the woman his grandfather had chosen as mate? Thank god Zeke had better taste. "Not so fast, sis." He cautioned, narrowing his eyes suspiciously on the white and orange female, the woman he assumed to be his grandmother. "What'cha running from Saboro for? Is anyone following you?" Grandpa Shadon perhaps? |

Amen Wrote:'Who are your fathers? How- how do you know who I am?' the words of the smol gal brought Amen back down from a very worrisome headspace, and once again she offers a smile. This time, it was less toothy. 'I have to go back.' the woman says, and Amen feels her heart drop. 'My children, my family, I can't just--' |

"Zeke!!" Amen snorted, stomping her foot and bristling. "You can't just ask people why they ran, and I don't smell anyone else out there right now, use your damn head," Golden eyes flashed with barely restrained ire as he gave Amen a dark look. "Oh, I'm sorry, did you want to get murdered by a random stranger?" He lifts a paw to gesture blatantly at the white and orange female, who was- for all intents and purposes -still a complete and total stranger to them, "Just because she looks harmless doesn't mean anything." Harmless was the polite term for what he thought of the frail little woman in front of him. Pathetic would have been closer to the truth but he didn't want to start a fight right now. The only thing they knew about her was that she was from Saboro and that Shadon was looking for her.
"I'm not running," she replied, "I'm lost." Zeke makes a small noise in the back of his throat, a low hum as he considers her answer. "I was almost killed, and unconscious. I met two wolves in the forest. One told me to come here for help. I need to get home, to my children, they aren't safe." There were so many unanswered questions, so many things burning on the tip of his tongue and racing through his mind. Almost killed by who? Shadon? Someone else? What two wolves in the forest had told her to come here? "I guess we're all a little lost," Were there others out there who'd left Gemini, knowing its secrets and its location? If that information fell into the wrong hands.. If Saboro ever found out where they were.. "I don't know. I don't know if anyone cares enough." According to Amen their grandfather Shadon seemed to care a whole lot and Zeke couldn't help but wonder who else might come looking for the little lady. "I care. You're family. You're our family, and if.. if you're saying we got a lot more family still needing help.." Golden eyes glance back to his sister. Don't, he thinks to himself, don't do it sis. Don't go against Saboro, they'll crush you. "I'll help you get them back," Shit, "but please.. please stay at least.. a day.. you need to rest, miss, you can't keep wandering. We know where Saboro is. I don't know about Zeke here," For once the usually mouthy boy was silent as he stared into the abyss, wondering how on earth he'd ended up in this situation. Amen was talking about going to Saboro, just, walking in and taking people. Relatives or not it was fucking insane, a suicide mission. Did she think that the Saboroans would just let them waltz in? "but.. I'll go with you to get 'em. As long as you promise.. you.. have to promise you're not.. a bad one, like.. him, or.. the others.." Zeke heaves a heavy, audible sigh. "Cause if ya are, we'd have to kill ya." He grins playfully but his eyes tell them he's not joking one bit. He'd do anything to protect what little family he had left in Gemini, even if it meant sacrificing some relatives he didn't even know. Couldn't miss what you've never had, right? "I'm Amen, this is.. Zeke, our fathers are Akki and Kol Nidre, and you're safe here." Yes, Amen, lets just give this random person we've never met our entire family history while we're at it shall we? He bit his tongue to keep himself from saying anything as he listened to his sister babble on. "I love them, and they're all good. All of 'em, they're all good in their own way and they'll be so happy to see you, I promise." Well not all of them were good. Corrosion was still a bastard. "My word is good, miss.. you're family, and that's all that matters. I won't let 'em take anything else from you." Zeke couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes. Amen was just so soft. she was utterly naive and it was her childlike trust for others was that drove him to protect her. But it was hard to protect her when he wanted to throttle her. "Amen.." He said quietly, after she finally shut up, "We don't even know her name. The only thing we know about her is that she's from Saboro. She could be anybody. She could be a spy come to find out our secrets and weaknesses to report back to Saboro. And even if she's not a spy, what's to stop her from spilling the beans if she goes back to that place and someone threatens her?" His sisters reckless attitude aggravated him to no end(lol what a hypocrite). "You can't just let people walk in."[/b] |
Akki
He
There was snow. White snow.

Dreaming of the jungle was a bad omen, and he'd been dreaming about it often. Too many things were reminding him of home lately. He didn't know what it meant, but it made him nervous. It was easier to feel nervous about Saboro than other things bothering him. It was more familiar. It was more encompassing. It was, in its own horrible way, nostalgic.
It was this nagging, redirected paranoia that led him to the wall's choke that day. He hoped he wouldn't see anyone, but if he did... may it be someone he could bite. It was not. A flash of grey, a streak of purple, a chattering voice, a complete and total sass bastard; it was his darling offspring!! One does not just bite offspring, SHADON. We're CIVILIZED HERE, DAD. Stupid Shadon. Thank the holy wolfgod he was a thousand miles away and would never enter Akki's life ever again. That would be impossible and terrible. Seeing his son and daughter—which daughter, specifically—should have given him a spark of joyful reassurance. And it did for a moment. She was home! She was fine! It's alright! He opened his mouth to yip a greeting when he noticed she and Zeke were talking to someone. Intensely talking to someone. Amen's passionate speech did not go unheard, and as Akki arrived behind them he felt like his blood pressure could have shot him to the moon, over it, through space, and into the next several dimensions. " We don't even know her name. The only thing we know about her is that she's from Saboro. She could be anybody. She could be a spy come to find out our secrets and weaknesses to report back to Saboro. And even if she's not a spy, what's to stop her from spilling the beans if she goes back to that place and someone threatens her? You can't just let people walk in." "Her name is Poltergeist," said Akki. He stared at the little she-wolf that so many people underestimated. He had seen her wrapped in thorns and soaked with poison. Saboro forgets the deadly small. But not him. "Don't touch her." Trying to circle in front of his children, he regarded her and her wounds. An ear twitched, once. Listening for the crunch of bone. Smelling for dead wolf caked in to the fur of a cannibal. The twitching ear became a twitching eye. Oh my God my dad is here probably "...Where is Shadon?" |

'Do you want to get murdered by a random stranger? Just because she looks harmless doesn't mean anything." "She's not a random stranger, Zeke," although the feisty girl knew better than to continuously argue with her brother, she couldn't help it. Not where family was involved. But it wasn't long after her defenses were set up that Poltergeist began to reaffirm her angrier sibling, began to shift sides metaphorically with him, and Amen's ears fell back against her head. She felt like she was being scolded, and in truth, she was, but she survived out in the wilds without any of them. She is told to not go to Saboro, that the little ghost wouldn't let her go, but ah.. "I'll go where I please, when I please, and none of you will stop me," although this was always known, it was never spoken aloud, it was never more real than when heard. "And you're only bad if you let yourself become bad," she feels defeated, but there will always be a spark, right? Always that light of good in the dark, right? "You can't stop me from going, nor can you, and neither can-" 'Her name is Poltergeist, don't touch her.' Akki, her father commands, and although defiance ran rampant in her blood, she obeyed, backing off from the little wolf and edging away from the wall. 'Where is Shadon?' he asks his not-mother, now completely obvious to the girl, who felt humiliated and foolish all at once. Her once-upon-a-time Grandmother had no idea, and confirmed such by replying that Shadon was.. 'Home'. "No he's not," Amen scowled, holding her head up. "He's here. How else did you think I knew who you were?" she turns her icy gaze to Poltergeist, huffing. "I told him where we were. I was going to find you before he did, so he couldn't take you back to Saboro," and here they were. She made good on her self-promises. She doesn't feel remorse or guilt, she can't afford to anymore. There is no looking back, there is no 'wishing I-' this or 'wishing we-' that. "If you'll excuse me, I haven't slept since I've been back," she speaks stiffly, formal, as if building her own wall from malevolent intruders, all of whom appeared to her as family. "it was.. nice.. meeting you, Poltergeist," perhaps she meant it, but her forced gaze towards The Lands Inbetween is all she can offer. Amen refuses to see Akki or Zeke now, rounding them towards where they'd all come from initially. She doesn't expect a peaceful retreat, but hopes she's afforded one, for now.[/color] |

(Sorry friend; we’ll continue this but you can rp polt in the pack. Akki was going to escort her to the living tree so her injuries could be looked at and also probably put her on surveillance.
He is also going to tell zeke to watch the border for Shadon) |

"I can't promise you that. You can do with me what you will. We're all bad, you have to be," Her voice was flat and dead yet Zeke still sneered as she pretty much admitted she couldn't be trusted and he gave Amen a look that said told-you-so. Saboroans were nothing but trouble, flooding Gemini with their filth, stinking of fear and paranoia. How long would they keep poking the hornets' nest until the hive began to swarm? Zeke liked living as dangerously as the next badass but this was just stupid. Zeke was so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear Amens speech nor his father's arrival. "Akki is a good boy-" "Her name is Poltergeist," Like a wraith, his father slipped onto the scene, silent as ever. A single large, dark ear twitched once in annoyance at the interruption. Now he had to behave himself and be polite. Ugh. Akki was looking at Poltergeist with a weird expression that made Zeke narrow his eyes in suspicion. "Don't touch her." Uhm? Golden eyes flicked towards Amen in confusion before bouncing between Poltergeist and his father. "Why not?" What the hell did he know that Zeke didn't? "I'm safe. If I wasn't, I would have died already." Or ignore me. That works too, Zeke thought venomously, tail coiling in frustration. He growled lowly, hating that he didn't know what the two were talking about even though they were talking right in front of him. "...Where is Shadon?" Poltergeist looked confused, tilting her head to the side and scrunching up her face. "What do you mean? Home." Zeke snorted, smirking because he finally knew something that they didn't know. "No, he's not," Amen grumbled, "He's here. How else did you think I knew who you were?" She huffed angrily and Zeke's smirk grew wider, "I told him where we were." Idiot. "I was going to find you before he did, so he couldn't take you back to Saboro." Zeke sighed loudly, looking put upon and defeated he shook his head slowly. "I tried to tell her it was a stupid idea," He lied smoothly, purposely antagonizing Amen who seemed particularly on edge. Unfortunately, it seemed as if his dear sister had reached her limit with him and took her leave from the group with a few abrupt parting words. If Akki gives him a look he'd shrug his shoulders innocently and hold up is paws as if it to say 'was it something I said?'. Finally, Zeke turns his attention back to Poltergeist. "I don't trust you." He looks at Akki, "And I really don't think this is a good idea, dad, her being here and all. It's just gonna bring Saboro right to us." |
