The blackened wolf came strolling in ever so lightly. His eyes flashing from the twilight that still had its grip on the earth. Moving along he sat in the middle of a clearing of trees. The clearing wasn't large enough for a horse herd, but perfect for a wolf pack. "So, you are the little group my half sisters have been talking about." He smiled down at the Coalition.
Ghoul growled justly, "And we will make everyone fear us." "You are already feared boy." Razor smiled as Ghoul got a puzzled expression, then continued. "Just the pure fact that you are a Haunter will cause people to fear you. They already hate you..." "And I hate them." The pup growled in mid-scentence. Razor paused and let his hackles raise to show that Ghoul was to no longer speak out. "I am a Haunter as well and they fear me just as much, if not more, than you. Our jobs are to make them know we are boss. Our job is to fight for Risen, to destroy our enemies, and to extinguish those who oppose us. We do not kill randomly, we do not kill without cause. Understood.M.B<" There was a moments pause. "Understood." Came Ghoul's voice weakly.
Onslaught padded up after Ghoul, seating himself beside his larger brother. He didn't say anything, yet, just listened to the words exchanged between them. Ghoul's weak excuse made the pup unnerved, why was his brother acting like this. His icy-yellow eyes met Razors, and an unwavering growl echoed through the small clearing. Understood, Razor.
Razor nodded acceptingly, "Now you must begin your training, Oh say.." He looked around and spotted a rabbit grazing on the new spring grass in the distance. "Go see if you can catch that rabbit there. There is five of you, it should be plenty enough to catch the rodent."
Ghoul gruffed and turned to see a white and brown rabbit in the distance, it was almost to hard to see except for the fact that it was a bunch of moving white on brownish green land. Giving a nod to his brother and the others he moved forward and slowly began to prowl toward it. Coming up just a bit before he stopped moving.
The rabbit looked up from its graze and looked around, Ghoul had hidden behind a was off, leaving the lapin the continue her eating more cautiously now. Ears swiveling to catch any more sounds.
Razor smiled, he had a little plan up his sleeve for the hare.
Onslaught's ears pricked, and his head turned to spot the Rabbit that Ghoul had began to stalk. Dropping his ears to press against his head, the pup copied his brother and began to slip towards the rodent. The pup then glanced to Ghoul, before slipping round the side of the uneven terrain and disappearing into the woodland. With his eyes trained on the hare, Onslaught silently slunk round the side of the rabbit. When he was a few feet away, the pup stopped and considered what to do next. Wait for Ghoul so they could do it together? Or charge in and grab it?
Deciding on the latter, Onslaught tore across the ground and launched himself at the rabbit, aiming to knock it down and sink his teeth into its neck as he had done with Toxin earlier in the temple.
The four voiced up the same 'Understood' response as their fellow wolf brothers, taking to heart what Razor had told them. Though not about to admit it, they were saddened at being parted from their mother and sisters. But at least they were still with their 'brothers', and it sounded like they were going to have some fun now.
"I can catch the rabbit easy!" Martimoor exclaimed, swishing his tail to the side and perking his head up in a confident manner. With his long legs, he was second fastest of the cubs, with Little Tuft being a hair quicker and more agile.
"We should work as a team..." Leopeson suggested, but his words fell on unhearing ears as both Martimoor and Little Tuft took off like rockets towards the hare. Effectively blowing the cover of Ghoul, and interfering with Onslaught's own attempt at catching the creature.
Xuvan, not about to be showed up by his swifter brothers, rushed after them. He may not be as quick as the other two, but he would be stronger than them. Unfortunately for this exercise, strength wasn't as much of a determining trait as speed and agility.
With a heavy sigh, Leopeson plunged after the others. But rather than go straight for the rabbit, he circled around slightly, opposite of Onslaught. If the rabbit were to evade the other four attackers, Leo hoped to have a shot at stopping the hare's escape.
Razor watched with a critical eye as the two fastest plunged in like barbarian humans. Smirking a bit at their immaturity. They had a charge tactic that might work when they got older, but even a grown opponent would only faulter for a moment, and more than likely would not run away like the rabbit. Ghoul and Leopeson had the same tactic of ambush while Onslaught held the element of suprise.
Ghoul watched as the group of four rushed the rabbit. Fidgeting under himself as Leopeson went tangent to his own self. Together Onslaught, Ghoul, and Leopeson created a circle that had quickly collapsed as the other three made their dash.
The hare heard tumbling feet behind it and perked its ears and head. The rush of Onslaughts own pounce was enough to get the rabbit up and going. The wolf had suprised her and his paw had batted against her head. Nothing more than a rough pat that sent her running. It was then that she also spotted Ghoul and grunted a hiss with a sharp thump of her foot. Running in a direction that would send her flying next to Leopeson. She had yet to see the lion in the brush just to the side of her.
Ghoul growled and snapped at the rabbit, feeling the foot slide between his teeth but he had not snapped fast enough to grip the limb. Grunting he took to join the group and raced after her.
"Don't follow in a straight line you'll lose it." Ordered Razor from the backdrop. Ghoul only bearly heard him and moved opposite of Leopeson, hoping that if his lion brother pounced the rabbit would be confused and turn toward him or the others.
The adult wolf trotted up behind Razor on three legs, grinning. They've got a lot to learn, huh?
Onslaught just caught Razor's advice, and totally ignored it. Picking up as much speed as he could muster, the hybrid began to charge up the left flank of the rabbit. Being the smallest out of all his siblings, Onslaught was the fastest, and the muscle he did have only added to the power he could produce when running. Reaching the rear leg of his quarry, the pup yipped to Martimoor to come alongside the rabbit's right flank, effectively boxing it between them so it could only run forward. Then maybe Leopeson and Ghoul could leap out at the last minute and snag the hare. If it somehow managed to swing round, Martimoor and himself would be blocking the side exits, and that would leave Xuvan and Little Tuft behind the rabbit to catch it should it try to escape.
