Curiousity can kill

[Autumn]

The light breeze swayed the red speckled fur of a brown she-wolf as she crossed the circles center. Her fiery eyes flickering from one stone to the other with a spike of interest, but one continued to pull it towards her. The etching of a dancing flame embedded itself on the large stone, it seemed to warm the soul of Autumn as she neared it, ears perked with curiousity. As she came closer, she studied the stone. Its height was staggering, its massive size told her that the weight of it would easily kill her. Even though the breeze seemed to threaten to make the stone tumble, she stepped closer and stared up at the fire scar. She examined the way that it moved, it was designed so beautifully, only an alien could really make it this real. 'Those aliens, the ones on two feet must have done this. . . its the only possible way'. Glancing over her shoulder, she scented the air, catching nothing. Her eyes strayed back to the strange stone, her paw stretching out to place itself on the pillar.

Ra had been sleeping peacefully within the shelter of his den which was hidden deep within the heart of his territory. Yet, like every Alpha, he could sense the presence of another at The Circle, and when one would inch closer to their Elemental Stone the feeling would grow stronger- drawing the Alpha out towards the Stone.. Ghostly white optics flicked open, a flame dancing bright within them, a sly smirk tugging at his black lips as that all famillar feeling surged through his body. It had been quite some time since one ventured to the Stone of Fire, to any stone really. Lifting himself to his paws, The Fire King was quick to exit his den and race towards The Circle. With each powerful stride his muscles rippled beneath his pelt, the flames in which covered his muscular form flickered yet remained burning bright as the wind crashed against him. As he reached the lush forest in which held The Circle, he halted before entering, then causually strolled in. With each step, Ra burned the lush grass and left prints of ash, the foliage near his form becoming singed as he padded through the forest and inched closer to The Circle. Ghostly white optics remained locked upon the path ahead, and when The Circle came into view a faint smile tugged on his black lips before fading as he approached the she-wolf whom had her paw resting on the Stone of Fire. Clearing his throat to alert her as he approached, the Fire King stood tall, skull and tassel held high stating clearly he was the Alpha. Ghostly white optics danced across her form once before parting his jowls and revealing his lyrics to the unknown she-wolf."Hello, i am Ra, King of Fire."His lyrics rolling off his pink tongue with ease, his deep voice holding that ever so common calmness. He waited for her to lay down on her back and expose her most vital parts in full submisson, ghostly white optics never once straying from her slender form.

[Autumn]

Autumn's figure swirled around as the clearing of a wolf's throat came to her ears. She was shocked to find herself staring into white eyes, almost like that of the dead. The wolf's pelt was on fire and his muscles nearly looked like they were going to explode from his orange pelt. The male's voice sang to her ears,
"Hello, I am Ra, King of Fire" It was a deep rhythm of music, but soothing to her hearing. She kept her jaw tightly shut, even though she wanted to let it drop to the ground with her astonished looking expression. She blinked several times before speaking, not daring to expose herself to the stranger,
"I cross these lands without wanting to harm. I find these stones fascinating" She glanced around with a glitter in her eyes as she examined each pillar, except for the fire one that stood behind her. Her head lowered in respect as she bowed, still not submissing, "I don't mean to be rude by not exposing my weaknesses to you." She began, voice light but hinting with an edge, "You don't know who you can trust anymore, though" Her eyes held to the ground, not daring to lose themselves into the white film.

Ghostly white optics watched as the slender she-wolf spun around to face him, his facade remained emotionless as her lyrics invaded his auds soon after. Though she failed to submit, she was showing some form of respect in which satisfied the Fire King temporarly but when it came down to it she must submit. His stance remained tall, ghostly white optics locked upon her as she spoke her apology."That is quite true.."He paused, taking a step forward a sly smirk tugging at his black lips."But you see, i have not come here to rip your throat out or send you the the depths of hell. I am here because you have ventured to The Circle, a place where those less fortunate come to gain an Element. That is why you are here is it not?"The sly smirk faded to leave behind a serious look, ghostly white optics lingering on her for a moment before shifting to each of the elemental stones, then back to the she-wolf"If that is why you are here, choose your element wisely.."Tassel flicked slightly, sending bits of flames into the air and then falling to the dirt where they burned out without nothing to feed the flames. Auds perked forward, awaiting any sort of response from the she-wolf. He wouldnt mind company, the packlands had became quite lonely with the disappearance of his mate and the brute known as Phoenix. He had no idea where they went, but he wasnt about to dwell on it now. He quickly pushed the thoughts to the back burner and focused all his attention on the she-wolf.

[Autumn]

Autumn struggled to answer, she hadn't known of this place, only in mere pup stories did she ever come across of knowing about it. Her eyes strayed up for a second before she pushed them back toward the grass, speaking to it
"I didn't know such things existed, only in dreams I thought it was possible. . ." Her hunger for the beautiful fire to be part of her began to boil in her stomach. She pulled her head over her shoulders and stared up at the etching, ears twitching. Slowly she pulled her attention back to Ra. She spoke quietly, fearing that he would be angered by her sudden choice, "I would love to hold the strength of fire in me" She knew it was wrong to request such a thing from him without submitting, she scowled slightly as she lay on her stomach and rolled to her back, allowing her neck and stomach in reach for the fire king. She stared up at him from the ground in awe, marveling at his built figure once more

[Forsaken Demon]

Auds flicked slightly as the she-wolf spoke, Ra being born to a pair of Fire Wolves never knew what it was like to lead a life like the wolf before him, but he never put much thought into it he was satisfied with life and was blessed to be born into an element. As she made her choice and lowered her self to the earth to expose her most vital parts, a faint smile tugged on the fire King's black lips. At that moment a blue flame seemed to dance within his ghostly white optics, the blazing orange flames that covered his form began to grow and burn even brighter. Taking a few more steps towards the she-wolf, he placed a paw on her skull and muttered a few words in a strange language. Taking a step back a ring of fire surrounded the she-wolf her form glowing a faint orangish-red, as the seconds passed it became even brighter. Ra stood still, patiently waiting for the transformation to end and to see the birth of a Fire Wolf. Though he had just granted her wish, there was one thing he would demand once everything settled down, and that one thing was her name. Ghostly white optics watched as the bright orange glow consumed the she-wolf, it was to the point where she could not be seen. Muscles relaxed Ra reclined upon his muscular haunches and curled his tassel around to rest before his large paws, a faint smile plastered upon his maw as he waited.

[Autumn]

Autumn allowed the flames to take over her, the striking pain was that of a soothing one, almost like she was going numb. As the fire grew on her, she felt a surge of strength begin to develop in her legs, her veins pounded out blood, the fire started to reside as she stood. Her new body pleasing to her eyes as she glanced at her legs. She remained the same colour for her pelt, but it was much shinier and luscious than before. She noticed there were little orange flames licking her paws. A grin stretched across her lips as she took in her new self, her eyes reaching up to Ra. She hummed a pleased tune as her tail swayed side to side. It wasn't until she glanced over her shoulder that she realized her tail was completely flames. They flickered brightly, dancing as she moved them. Her eyes twinkled with glee as she giggled, fascinated by the new form of a tail. 'I'm actually getting pleasure out of wagging my tail' The thought made her silence herself, she must look like a fool infront of Ra. She peered her eyes back to his white ones, her ears twitching, trying to detect any noise.
"Thank you" She cooed, her voice pleased with her choice of an element. Fire suited her, she was going to enjoy her time here.

Ra watched as the glow faded, slowly revealing the newly born Fire Wolf. He watched as she examined herself, and he choked back a chuckle in the process as he flicked her tassel around. Auds flicked as she hummed a pleasent tune. what a beautiful voice.. He thought, auds listening closely. Finally pleased with the results, Ra offered her a nod as she thanked him and met his gaze. With a sly smirk, Ra watched her for a moment longer before parting his powerful jowls and revealing his lyrics to her once again."Tell me wolf, what is your name?"For now all he wanted was her name, and perhaps alittle later her life story if she was willing to tell. He was quite interested in hearing it, seeing as the elemental life is all he has ever known. Lifting himself to his paws, the bright orange flames in which covered his entire form returned to normal and the blue flame that once danced in his ghostly white optics had ceased to exsist, now as he stood before her his stance was no longer held in a dominating way. Such a thing was no longer needed, atleast not right now. Muscles relaxed as his flaming tassel fell to his hind paws, lightly brushing against the earth as he did so.

[Autumn]

Autumn's ears perked forward as Ra spoke, his voice was so musical,
"Tell me wolf, what is your name?" She sat, pleased of her new form. Her voice was soft now, no edge in it as she had become comfortable with the fire wolf,
"Autumn" She closed her eyes, squeezing them as she took in a gentle breeze. It carassed her face before fading. Opening her eyes she gazed up at the magnificent king, he was so strong and yet, beautiful. She was happy to notice that he had relaxed himself, she didn't like it when others became so defensive in her presence.

[Forsaken Demon]

Ra offered her faint smile as she spoke her name, yet a tinge of pain lingered deep within his ghostly white optics. It was the same name as an old friends, her death at the age of 3 years left Ra in a depressed state of mind. Now almost two years since his dear friends death, Ra, King of âme en Fue has risen above yet every so often he remembers and falls back into the pain but never dwells too long. So with a shake of his large skull, Ra rid his thoughts of his old friend and focused on the Autumn before him."Quite a beautiful name.."He stated, adverting his ghostly white optics from her to the Stone of Fire, optics slowly slid shut as he fought the emotional pain away. He shall never show such weakness again, at that moment his ghostly white optics slowly slid upon and came to rest on Autumn, his facade becoming emotionless once more."Alright Autumn, for now you shall be place as a Subordinate, the rank all new pack members start at and if you prove yourself worthy, remain loyal to âme en Fue, I, and the Fire God- Amu Cai...Perhaps then your rank shall raise."With that he turned and slowly began to walk away from the stones, his pace slow so Autumn could catch up."Come Autumn, âme en Fue awaits your arrival."

[Autumn]

Autumn watched with a certain spike of interest as the great wolf showed some actual emotion. Her eyes searched his expression, trying to read it, but couldn't find any true emotion in it. She raised her head with pride as she took in the words of being a Subordinate, even if she didn't know exactly what that was, she knew it meant she was now in a pack, no longer roaming alone. She gave a light glint from her eyes before Ra rose up and began to pad away, Autumn easily strode along behind him. Her mind was full of curiousity of the new pack she was now part of, her thoughts flickered wildly as she pictured Gods and more fiery wolves. 'This is a place of dreams' She sighed at the thought, hoping that it wasn't just another dream of hers
