Rhyme appeared on the deserted plain like a wraith through the shrouding mist. Bright blue and lavender eyes caught the glint of the early morning sun on the horizon. He had been moving since long before dawn, but now the first few rays were beginning to show over the cool spring night.

The slate alpha was holding on to too much pent up energy, he hadn’t felt relaxed in seasons. He felt like it was all coming to a boiling point, and he couldn’t be around his kids when it happened. So the restless wanderer sought out the unknown of the battlefield.

Both ravens circled the dark sky above him as icy white paws carried him to the center of the field. He wanted a fight. He wanted to sink his fangs into another’s flesh and release the frustration that settled beneath his skin. While Shaye would have sought out to recruit new members, he only wanted to feel the rush of battle

With one liquid movement Rhyme’s head was lifted to the sky and he brought forth a powerful song, summoning those that had desire for the same result as him. He wanted to let someone’s blood, and feel his own be brought forth from his body.

The song that reached them today was more powerful than the one before. But no doubt there was a challenger sought in that song, one that wanted to spill blood and dance that thrilling battle dance. Melanthios’ ears perked and the beast threw back their head to let out their own song; They would be coming.

Their massive paws carried them over the earth with a thunderous urgency. They moved with determination towards the source of the howl, not wanting to keep their potential opponent waiting long, and slowed only once he, and his ravens, were close enough to be within speaking distance.

“You have summoned us and we have answered the call.” Melanthios’ fiery gaze took in the looks of the other. A handsome creature, not that they were a beast of lust. It was his eyes, similar to theirs though a cooler hue, that drew them in.

“Our name is Melanthios.” They said. “You wish to dance, stranger? So be it. Come forth, and let our fangs and claws speak more for us.” They slipped into a defensive stance, words serious yet not unkind. Their smile faded into a look of determination and Melanthios dipped their head forward, aiming to protect their throat from their slightly shorter opponent. There was no telling what might come of this fight… but Mela was ready.

Rhyme’s features fell from the slowly brightening sky as his summoning song faded into the mists. The slate alpha need not wait long, and before his eyes a fiery red waif appeared from the cloaking shadows. She was an impressive wolf, mammoth by anyone’s standards. Rhyme felt his inky black lips pull back in an amused smile. Yes, this was what he wanted. The was this wolf talked put Rhyme off, much like Tyranis had that awful day here. He tried not to think about it, and nodded respectfully towards his opponent.

”Rhyme Cavaliere.” He hadn’t introduced himself since taking up his own name. ”I like the way you think.” The slate alpha slipped into his own defensive position. He pulled his lips back from his teeth as his hackles raised and his ears fell to his skull. His midnight swathed tail flashed behind him as a banner. He distributed his weight evenly between his four paws before behind his joints as he stored energy to leap.

Rhyme sprang, aiming to rush his opponent’s left side. Rhyme tried to orient himself so his right shoulder was aimed at the soft spot between ribcage and hips. Aiming the point of his shoulder to ram into the difficult to protect area while he opened his jaws. Rhyme sought to bite down on the bright wolf’s spine. Right before the hips began.
