ooc:; Oddity has reached 100 posts and has acquired 400 gems. He is challenging Jupiter for Ludicael. The time had come. He was finally healed, his wounds no longer there apart from the permanent scar under his blue eye. After Taur's betrayal Oddity was fueled with anger. For the moment he kept it secret, it would look like he was betraying the king to, for he wasn't supposed to reveal he was here on his King's permission. Regardless, he wouldn't let anything get in his way now. He was out for blood, and he wanted the power and the ability to rule. He knew the lady had power but Jupiter had it coming and Oddity was here to try and take her home. The thirty three inch tall male stood on the blood battlefield and his bi colored orbs looked around. Who would witness the fight? He raised his hackles, his tail fluffed up as he threw his head back in a howl. He was here, Oddity wouldn't go easy. He had trained for this, he had lost, but this time he wouldn't go so easy. And in return, he had to have the queen meet with isar. Then it was up to the king himself what to do. Oddity pulled his head forward, lips curled as he waited. He was impatient, but he'd wait. Women should never be in rule. He had kept his sexism down to a low because of where his home was. Yet, now he was within the own confines of his mind. The way his father had trained him, everything was coming back to him. The scar across his chest and shoulder just proved all of his survival tactics. How many victims had he built up, he didn't know. His claws dug into the dirt as he waited for the large girl to show herself. Now was the time for a fight. Speech,(Click me for theme)

She moved with great leisure to the point of near-nonchalance, legs cycling casually as she ascended upon the battlefield. One would think that Jupiter would advance with great haste with the fate of her kingdom possibly hanging by a thread but she did not. In fact, a smile molded from upward-turned lips of ebony was plastered upon her fiery countenance and a chuckle rumbled from the depths of her chest. Her mind had wandered to the events that had unfolded when Newt had been challenged for Amenti. She'd realized then why the woman and Kaios had been mates--they both had too big of mouths for their own good, apparently. Jupiter was not indignant nor did she have intentions on making a fool out of herself by providing such an unnecessary display as her rival had once done. If anything, the woman was secretly thrilled to be engaged in a battle again--her paws burned with an anticipatory itch as she spied the dark figure in the distance.



Her eyes narrowed as she laid eyes upon the obsidian-pelted brute, darkened smile turning more thoroughly into a smirk. It seemed as if black-pelted wolves were a common sight around Alacritia since the invasion of the foreign packs. Luckily, though, the size of her deceased opponent was not a frequent trait among the creatures here. In fact, this brute was about two inches shorter than he, though she thought little of it. Celestial optics sought out his bi-colored orbs, eyes narrowed not with anger but scrutiny as she examined her opponent, taking note of the scars upon his bodice. She too bore old wounds from equally old enemies--a small chunk was torn out of the middle of her left ear from the final fight for Ludicael and one side of her neck bore scars that grew very little fur from her takedown of Kaios.



There was little hesitation as she stopped about six yards from the male, facing him head-on. With a practiced shift of her posture she slipped into her usual defensive position in an almost habitual movement--her shoulders pushed forward to offer protection about the base of her neck, the blades tucking beneath the fur of her back to make them less of a protruding target; her ears tipped toward her skull but not fully, as she still wished to listen to this male should he speak; head lowered and pulled back a bit to bring the fat about her neck to scrunch. After an even breath she shifted her paws outward and put her weight evenly upon her toes, tail relaxed and parallel with her spine.



"I shall hear your name and your terms, but that is all," she stated simply and evenly, the only detectable emotion in her voice being a slight tint of amusement. The girl noted the tense posture of the other and found his rage adding to that one positive emotion. She wiped any other touch of that emotion from her features and then from her conscience, falling serious and quiet. She would allow him to speak and then give him the first move. The woman decided that she would not permit her frivolous emotions to put her family in danger.

She had heard the howl, her fur bristled as soon as the sounds hit her ears. Who would try to claim their home? What reason did they have to challenge Jupiter's rule? She would not think but only go, with poised grace her head would dip from the den and trot towards the voice. She would catch sight of Jupiter's form as she let herself draw forward, glad to see the she wolf quite ready to defend her rule. Song's muzzle would contort into a grin, worry a thing of the past. Her Sol could more than take care of herself in this situation. She would be revealed into the clearing, her head held with pride as she stood firmly behind the strong woman. Ears would be faced forward her attention fully focused on the opposing figure, her sight would follow them. Bicolored gaze would linger on the challenger, but she was distracted by her Sol's words, "I shall hear your name and your terms, but that is all," Her posture would not change as she stood, awaiting the coming battle, a confident smile playing across her visage. .ooc. go ahead and skip me until the end of the battle, I'll post if she is addressed ^^

Myth padded happily behind the midnight male, her tongue lolling as she trotted behind him allowing some distance to separate them some. Mud paws pushed through the grass, she wanted so much to wander away from Oddity, to explore. But the male had promised her adventure and she was determined to experience it. Her eyes darted around, eyeing the battle worn field. What would they do here? She wondered eagerly just as the male threw his head back and howled. Two more figures appeared at his call. It seemed there was a fight to go down. Breaking into a lope she closed the gap and sidestepped away to his right. Panting but clearly eager to be watching such an exciting event she slid onto her haunches moving far enough away to not get in the way and she waited, watching as the adventure begun. She would stand behind him; metaphorically. Speech,

lovely art by canttina<3 The call had come for his mother, but Oberon had answered it all the same. It was a challenging howl, one that all but demanded his mother's presence, something that Oberon was vaguely amused by. Who was this wolf to think that he could command Oberon's other to appear? Jupiter would come if she chose, and if she did not choose, then she would not appear. It would be by her own choice if she approached this challenger. Oberon had the utmost confidence in his mother. Still, he intended to be there for support. The pup was drawing closer to adulthood now, and knew well that he could not allow his mother to face such things by herself. Medusa might make an appearance, and Oberon was sure his mother would appreciate that as well, but he figured his mother would also benefit from the support of a wolf of her own blood. By the time that his paws reached the edge of the battlefield, a small group of wolves had already gathered. His mother was first and foremost among them, facing a slightly smaller black wolf with mismatched eyes. Oberon twitched his ears, letting only a single word fall from his maw; "Mother," It was only one word, but Oberon allowed a hint of pride to leak into his voice. He was proud of her. He might not have ever said it, but he was, and he knew that she would defeat this foolish challenger. With that, the male fell back, tail curling around his paws as he settled down to watch, knowing that he would probably have to restrain himself from entering the fray to defend his mother. But it would not be fair if he chose to interfere, he knew, and it was likely that Oberon would be more of a hindrance than a benefit if he tried to leap to his mother's rescue. She could handle this. speech,

Somebody had dared to call for her love, her sun, her soul to do battle. Medusa?s teeth gnashed together as she made haste for the battlefields, tail lashing behind her angrily as she approached. The midnight mistress still looked very much like a nursing mother; a heavier layer of fat ruining her swiftness, her teats hanging still, but she did not really care. Despite her initial thought that seeing Jupiter bleed might be somewhat erotic, she had come to notice during the russet beauty?s death match that the serpent could not stand to see her sun in danger. Especially in incidences where Medusa could not help her mate.
?Tear him apart, my love. I?ve eaten stronger things than him,? she jested, hoping to get the male riled him and distracted from his fight. If she could not do battle for her lover, she would do her best to give her an advantage. Nonetheless, the moonlight mistress parked herself onto the Earth, eyes peeled on the fight. Destroy him, or I will she thought. There was no doubt in her mind that Jupiter would bring this idiot into line, although she was also hoping to stain herself with his blood. Oh, she would teach this man and any other just who they were messing with when they messed with Ludicale. Medusa was beyond morality, after all, and she didn?t mind removing a few body parts. She was the moon, after all, and what was she without the sun? What was she if she allowed her lover to get hurt?

Oddity standing there, felt fairly popular as wolves collected. They collected in a manner, just to see a fight? Oddity had not known such joy was held in an event like this one. His ears were taking in every noise, speech mainly, that was being directed towards him. What was brought to his attention though, was the lady herself that appeared in front of him to reconcile the challenge. Jupiter, her muscles finely defined over her body as his bi colored orbs watched over her. She was in essence, a dame worth fighting over. He could see why his king wanted such a lady. Not only did she have looks, but she had the power of wolves behind her. Not just her own pack members, it appeared that her mate, another female was here with her. Medusa, the serpent who owned the other northern pack of Amenti. Oddity knew the feeling of lust, of love, for he had aimlessly fallen in love with the king of Glaciem. Isar was not his mate however, his love would always be one sided and he had already accepted that. It only made his heart harden more, receding back into the depths of it being as cold as stone. Oddity was not capable of feeling saddened by his actions, not even if he tried. He stayed where he was, breathing equally as fine as he had been before. There was no expression on his snout, just of the calmness he felt in these very moments. He was ready, Oddity was very much ready for the path he had chosen against this fair lady. She would take his name and his terms but no more? He wanted to be civil about this, until he would give into his training and his urges to take her over in whatever way he could. The ebony male wanted this, and he honestly didn't care how much love or hate he received for it. Even if he were to be challenged again, he would protect in all he could. The slayer wanted to shiver with delight, with passion, all over again. Yet he stayed standing, his tail flicking back and forth as he turned himself over to Jupiter. Medusa's comment he didn't pay any mind to, he didn't give one rats ass about what others thought at the moment. He could be a devil for all they knew, but, the world he lived in did not correspond with a devils existence. Oddity dipped his head and raised it again to speak his words. "My name is Oddity Accunt, and I would like you to meet with someone if I am to win that is my only request." The words pulled off his tongue in a slow and seductive like manner. Oddity was tearing himself out from the inside. Oh the fear that he wanted to see in the others face, and the heat was only building within him. Her defenses were already set for his attacks. Oddity pulled himself back and nearly groaned as he went for his first attack. Oddity shot himself forward, kicking up dust behind him as he pushed his hind legs in order to slam all of his body weight into her. He was going to thrash her about as much as he was able to. As his jaws opened up he tried aiming for the left side of her face with her head being down. His forelimbs pulled up as he tucked his shoulders to try and get a hold on her own shoulders. His abdomen tightened, his ears pinned back as he tried to get a hold of her face and shake his head to tear. His tail tucked itself to protect his genitals as his lower leg muscles tightened and toes splayed out to keep his balance. Oddity used his body weight as much as he could to thrash her about and press on her to pull pressure on her. His head down to protect his throat, as he tried to press his left forelimb against her shoulder for support in his attempt. Oddity narrowed his eyes as the deep growl grew in his throat. 1/4 Oddity v. Jupiter For Ludicael Attacks:; Oddity has gone for the left side of her face to try and get to her eye or cheek and tear as much as he can with thrashing his body weight around. He pushed his body weight against her and raised both his forelimbs to try and get a hold around her shoulders. Pressing his left forelimb on her right shoulder to try and get more damage out of his thrashing. Defense:; Eyes narrowed, shoulders tucked inward, and head down. Abdomen tightened, tail tucked between legs to protect genitalia. Ears pinned back and toes splayed. Forelimbs on her shoulders for possible support. Back leg muscles tensed.

The howl would light the air and all the souls that it would effect. The pale cream girl had tried her best to explain to her niece, Novel, why she could not follow to the call. She had tried to make sure Song did not sound like the bad guy, just a worried and protective mother. That Novel was still young, and that Symphony would not disobey her sister after just shortly joining. She could just pray to the earth and heavens the young pup would understand. She believed she would though. Her niece was sharp minded, quick to learn and eager. A smile warmed her features but it was short lived. This howl was no normal one, it had called forth her new Alpha to a challenge. Herbs were clamped firmly in her jaws. As a healer, Symphony took no sides in a battle. Yes she would like to keep her alpha that she was just starting to meet. But both Jupiter and her opponent would be tended to in the end. A healer never too sides in a fight. All had the equal right to be healed. Her tiny frame carried her swiftly to the Battlefield. Dread crawled under her skin, making her fur stand on end. This place carried death to thickly in the air for her comfort. To much anger and despair lurked like a heavy fog. She snorted softly till the figure of those involved in the fight came into sight. She noted her sister Song, some other Ludicael members and to her surprise Myth. She stood off the the right, giving a wide birth to the two opponents. Placing her bundle down her dual toned eyes turned to Myth."Myth, why on earth are you here?! Come here right now!" She demanded of her sister in a stern tone. Her voice was not loud, just auible enough to let Myth know is displeasure and concern as to why her younger sister was here and behide the black brute. "Speech"

Novella had been carefully thinking about her next rather major decision since Ananke had put the idea in her head. It truly wasn't something that had crossed her mind up until the point the young female had just assumed she already belonged to the pack. It was perhaps an easy mistake to make, the way she so calmly wandered those lands, scent trailing around each path she took and the packs starting to mingle with her own. She could be a member she supposed, all she had to do was officially ask. She still had yet to meet Jupiter, but was sure, or perhaps at least hoped she wouldn't object to more of the Destruction family joining Ludicael. She imagined that Symphony would be furious, and Howl especially and yet the thought was swiftly pushed out of the way. Their opinion really didn't matter, or else she would have turned around after their reaction to Song and gone straight back to Ahlon. As much as she loved her siblings, she could and had to do some things for herself. It seemed this could be another stage of growing up for her, a new pack. To be completely honest as much as she loved adventure, even Novella was a little unsure of her decision. She had always expected to one day return to Ahlon, this proved right now that she really had no idea at all what she was doing with her life. Whether it was simply a thrilling feeling or one of fear, she wasn't sure, though this big move was one she was quickly becoming certain she was ready to make. The sound of a howl calling for the Ludicael Sol suddenly brought Novella out of her thoughts though. Watching the lands she caught sight of a wolf of various shades of orange leaving the territory and shortly after came the form of a wolf she had come to know very well, Song followed by a few other strangers. What took her by surprise however was when yet another white figure parted from the Ludicael lands, and now more intrigued than ever Novella opted to move herself, no longer heading for the pack but following the little group to the battlefield. Lurking behind the others, the young female watched, not sure whether or not she really ought to be present. However, if Symphony was, Novella wasn't about to leave, eager to find out what her sister was doing here, had she perhaps forgiven Song properly now? She hoped so, certainly feeling Song deserved better after having spent time getting to know her. Too caught up on everything that was happening, she didn't actually notice Myth's presence until she heard Symphony speaking, that stern tone almost making her believe she had been caught until she realised the words were not directed at herself. No longer caring, she slipped forwards to Symphony's side and sure enough caught sight of the brown form of her sister. So Myth had followed too, not quite as well as herself and Legend though it seemed, but at least she was here. She remained silent though, stood beside Symphony and waiting for Myth to join them.

The call wasn't one that she had heard before, but she knew that it was for her mother. It was made by a stranger, far off - distant almost, but it was most certainly made for Jupiter - and it was dire. Ananke followed her mother, watching her orange figure from a distance, her lips pulled into a small frown. What was happening? It all put her on edge, seemed strange and dangerous, and she was grateful for the other members of Ludicael that were there. Among them she recognized Song and Novella, and instantly focused on Oberon, along with her own mother. As she eyed the man that wanted to fight with her mother, she bared her teeth, her toes digging into the ground beneath her. She didn't want her mother hurt, he was going to hurt her - and it made her want to help, but she knew that she couldn't. A sigh escaped her lips as the anger slowly drained, and she sat beside her brother, brushing against his shoulder. "I don't like this." She whispered, her silvery gaze falling to the ground as she lowered her head.


She lifted it again when she heard the words of the dark woman that was almost familiar. The dark woman was close to her mother, that much was certain. The young girl had to wonder whether she was serious - whether she really was as strong as she seemed to be. In any case, her confidence in both her mother and in herself was enough to calm the girl just slightly. Perhaps she shouldn't be so scared, so worried. Yet as she turned toward her mother as the fight began a pit dropped in her stomach. Seeing her be injured would not sit well with her - even if she did win this battle.

Up until he spoke, her mind wandered to the previous fights she'd been engaged in, conscience churning over her own tactics of initiating a battle. From circling and closing in with the stealthiest of slight progression (as she'd done with the spar with Elphaba) to throwing herself at her opponent after a moment of calm to try and catch them off guard (as she'd done with her first fight with Kaios), Jupiter had been able to act upon all ends of the spectrum and now expected this 'Oddity' to take one of those two routes. For simplicity's sake, she tensed and shifted her weight to her front legs, edging her powerful back legs out to allow for her claws to dig into the earth, as she prepared for the latter option of the two, audits tucking back fully after she nodded in response to his terms. She had noted Medusa's words with only a silent flick of the ear before then, ensuring that she kept her concentration on her newfound opponent's movements and stance.

The dark brute wasted no time in charging her head-on and a smirk played habitually upon her features at the predicted move. She steeled herself for the impact, front legs spreading just a tad as all of her weight was put upon them. A part she hadn't expected in his move, however, was the lift of his front paws from the ground as he tried to place them upon her shoulders. Immediately she found him engaging the two of them into an excruciatingly awkward position as he also made a move towards her face with his teeth. She raised her head quickly but minutely as he rose up, turning it and her neck to the right after she bore his weight upon her shoulders (mostly upon her right side), setting her positioning so that her head was higher than his pressing left foreleg. The force of his momentum caused her body to rock back a bit as she kept her paws in the same place, only kicking her right hind leg a little further out and mostly putting her weight there to act as leverage against his force and keep her rooted to the spot.

He began to thrash immediately in an attempt to jostle her about and it was here that she tried to press forward, having the advantage of power with him having only two legs on the ground to keep him there. She would try her best to advance in return with all of her weight being thrown forward and a bit upwards with her legs, hoping to tip him backwards in some way--hopefully in a manner that would put him on his back on the ground. Spying the ashen pink scar upon his shoulder, she extended her neck at the slightest to try her best to get to it. Her mouth parted and she aimed to sink her front canines--both top and bottom--into the scar tissue, relishing the chance to get a bite in that wouldn't be blocked by an excess of fur.

Between the shifting of her head and the proximity of her face to his shoulder (due to her head having been lowered in the first place), his attack on her features missed its mark and instead his teeth found the upper side of her left neck, near the front of its length and her skull. His bite pierced through about a quarter inch past her fur and into her flesh and she hissed at the feeling but would persist in her own movements. Her tail remained even to provide her as much balance as possible in her mobile and strength-oriented strategy. His thrashing did very little due to her solid stance except that it caused more damage to his bite as he dug into her flesh, but Jupiter wouldn't be surprised if he ended up disrupting his balance or hurting himself more than he hurt her in the wild movements.



round 1/4

jupiter vs. oddity for ludicael


ATTACKS: Goes for the left side of his scar that stretches to his left shoulder with her teeth. Throws her weight forward and a bit upwards by kicking off with all of her legs after taking his impact. She does this to try and push him and flip him over onto his back.

DEFENSES: Shifts weight to front of her body to better stand her ground against his attacks; kicks her right back leg out behind her as he puts his weight on her to counter the slight backwards roll of everything but her paws/legs, focusing some of her weight there to make it easier; ears still pinned; tail still even. Neck no longer scrunched as she sacrifices this defense to be able to try and get at his shoulder.

INJURIES: Though it's pending in severity based on Oddity's next moves, she will receive a painful, 1/4th-inch-deep wound on the upper top of her neck that will likely scar.



OOC: Sei and I both worked the odd positioning out and came to the conclusion that it's just awkward. XD Here are my diagrams of Jupiter and Oddity: Jupiter before his attacks and where his landed and their overhead-view positioning after her head-move. And after I drew those, Sei confirmed by adding where Oddity would be to her original position.

"speech"

Oddity's head was clear of any distractions, for now he had to concentrate on this fight. Though his first attack seemed to have backfired on him since he was using her for his weight support. His tail flicked out like a rudder as she started to push herself forward to get him on his back. The male slid back in the dirt tail swinging behind him in order to try and keep balance, his front muscles tightened his paws on her shoulders. Oddity tried to tear away as much flesh fur and skin as he could from the wound he had inflicted. His back legs tightened as they slipped back nearly making him lose his balance. Oddity shifted his weight forward leaning as her teeth sunk into his left shoulder where his scar was. Oddity let out a loud growl, flailing his tail behind him as he sunk his back paws deeper into the gravel and dirt below. His eyes narrowed as he moved forward. Her teeth sinking at least an inch and a half into his shoulder. The boy tilted his head and opened his jaws aiming for the scruff of her neck to pull himself into a better position of balance and to inflict damage. Pressing as hard as he could to taste blood if he could. As the boy tightened his abdomen his muscles ached from the effort. His eyes narrowed and ears pinned back the boy kept his tail flat out for balance. He was hanging on the event of using her to support himself. 2/4 Oddity v. Jupiter For Ludicael Attack:; Oddity is trying to wrap his forelimbs more around her to stay on her. He tilted his head towards the right and is aiming for the top of her scruff for damage and to stay put. Nearly dangling in the position that he's in. Defense:; Eyes narrowed and tail flailing out behind him for balance. Toes splayed back claws digging into the dirt. Back is arched and is nearly thrown off, muscles tightened along with abdomen. Ears pinned and shoulders tucked trying to keep grip on her. Injuries:; Inch and a half deep injury on left shoulder, possibly more damage depending on next move. Speech,(Click me for theme)

Myth kept her eyes on the battle, absorbed in the intricate dance that played out before her. It all looked so... Fun!  Her tongue lolled happily from her jaw, dual colored eyes darting back and forth between the fighters. She paid no attention to the other watchers, not even seeing her sisters till a stern voice pierced her amusement. Turning her head her eyes landed upon... Symphony? And was that Novella beside her? Excitement bubbled up in her. So she had managed to follow them! Rising to her paws she loped towards them, jaw parted, salmon tongue still flopped outside her parted jaw. Drawing up before them she slowed, sensing her older sister's irritation she snapped her jaw shut and tilted her head to the side, stopping, puzzled. Had she done something wrong? Shaking her head and pushing her doubts aside she allowed a lazy grin before giving her sisters each a greeting lick upon their shoulders. "Symphony and Novella!" She said as if proud of herself. "Are the others here? Anthem?" She darted her eyes to Symphony at the mention of her older brother. It was a stupid question, Anthem and Symphony were almost never apart. Where one went, the other followed. Speech,

A growl echoed from the depths of her chest as he tried to stand firm and the persistent woman decided that she would have very little of it. The cycle of her legs on the initial push came to an end and she used this to lunge forward once more, trying to jerk her head harshly to the right (and after the movement slightly open her jaws no matter its outcome) in an attempt to rip the band of lightly hardened scar tissue in the area where her teeth had sunk so deeply. Leaking from her maw was a hiss as his head thrashed and her fur and a thin layer of skin were ripped away. His paws wrapped about her shoulders and lower neck which, in her opinion, gave her more control over his movement with more of his smaller weight upon her. Her tail remained outwards for balance as she attempted to go for the spot she had just released and do more damage to it with her teeth.



With her front legs extended slightly in the natural phase of her run cycle, she shifted her shoulders forward to offer a bit of protection to the base of her throat, aiding to also help scrunch the layers of fat about her neck. She knew that if he ended up under her she would definitely need to protect the vitals that lie beneath and then try to threaten his own--not for the kill, but merely for the damage. As an after-thought she did her best to tuck her tail beneath her for the slightest of protection of her stomach and privates should her movement be successful. Her ears remained pinned and her eyes were lightly narrowed. She focused her weight backwards, slowing her momentum slightly but making it so that she could plan for coming to a halt should he end up beneath her.



His attack missed his mark but only by a little--his teeth dug just past her fur in the area a couple of inches to the right and behind his first inflicted wound. Oddity's jaws, however found mostly flexible fat with the scrunching of her neck. She would do little to counter it, hoping that her continued and persistent push would keep him well out of range from the damaged area that was the top of her neck.



round 2/4

jupiter vs. oddity for ludicael


ATTACKS: Continued to try and push him over as he puts more weight onto her. Tries to rip her head to the right to damage the tissue of and around his scar and then attempts to go for the hopefully-injured area once more, mostly trying to out-damage him.

DEFENSES: Starts with tail even for balance in the early stages of her movement but swings it beneath her for minor protection of her underbelly and such should he end up beneath her. Pinned ears, narrowed eyes, shoulders forward and neck scrunched. Weight focused forward during her charge but she prepares to shift it to her back legs should she need to stop.

INJURIES: 1/4th-inch-deep wound on the upper top of her neck that will likely scar, now worsened and widened and deepened by his tearing. Pending severity wound just above her scruff and a little bit further toward her shoulders from his first inflicted injury.



OOC: Sei is a cool cat that said this is Oddity's position at the end of her post. ^_^ Edited to fix rounds from 1/4 to 2/4.

"speech"

Eyes watched the two wolves fight, taking notes on each wound that was inflicted. She internally cheered on Jupiter, she had taking a liking to the kind alpha. This black male gave her an odd feeling one she did not like. She glanced down at the herbs she brought, hoping it would be enough. When she looked up Novella was coming to her side. She smiled softly, some how knowing her stern voice was probably what had brought her younger sister out. She nuzzled her softly."I might need your help...since I'm Ludicael's healer." She said softly as she glanced at Jupiter and Oddity.The fighting itself did not phase her, she had seen fights and healed many. What bothered her was the possible outcome of this fight. She did not want to lose an Alpha she had just met. Myth would come tottering over like the happiest pup on earth. If others werent around she would have knocked her sister across the head and tackled her down to get some sense into her. Lips lifted to show her displeasure."Myth, knock some sense into that brain of yours. do you not realize you a witness to a battle for rule over Ludicael? Ludicael is the pack i have recently joined and that is my alpha Jupiter." She pointed her muzzle to the fighting pair.>"Why are you with that male? And why did you not come to us first?" She demanded in a calm tone. She would not get angry and start anything with her family during this battle. She looked back at the two fighting with a frown. Paws went to separating her herbs into piles and then splitting them for each wolf. Her eyes became worried as Oddity had a hold around Jupiter's neck, making her growl ever so softly. She couldnt loose her new Alpha already, Jupiter just had to win! Speech,

His weight was not moving with him. As soon as she tore more he slid underneath her but kept his firm grip on the back of her neck. Hopefully on his way down it'd tear off even more skin and fur. Oddity relaxed himself as he fell onto his back underneath her his weight no longer being supported by her. The wound on his shoulder tore as he fell, causing swelling as he nearly screamed in pain. Blood swelling around the skin and soaking in the surrounding fur. Oddity pushed his forelimbs up on her chest to try and keep her from pressing her weight upon him. His jaws opened as he folded his tail over his genitals as he pressed against her. He couldn't relax yet though, it would ultimately be his demise and he didn't really care or know how many wolves hated him at the moment. Oddity pulled his head forward towards her right limb. His jaws splayed open as he attempted to try and tug it towards the inside of her body. Hard as he could in order to possibly break or make her lose balance to fall the opposite way (In order to get back on top) so that he could have the upper hand. As he did so his hind legs raised up and kicked right below her rib-cage as hard as he could. He moved his forelimbs lower in order to finish his movements. Moving them to be tucked at his sides ready to flail out if he needed them. Deep growling in his throat as his eyes were still narrowed and ears to the back of his head. Hopefully his position would protect his head all in itself. 3/4 Oddity v. Jupiter For Ludicael Attack:; Trying to latch onto her right forelimb as hard as he can and tug it towards the left underneath her hard. His hind legs are trying to come up and kick her right below the rib cage. Defense:; At the beginning his forelimbs are pressed against her chest as he slides under her onto his back. Ears are pinned down and eyes are narrowed still. His legs then tuck at his sides and as he goes for her leg he hopes his vitals will slightly be protects. His stomach tightened and tail tucked between his legs. Injuries:; Tearing in his shoulder near his chest do to him falling, could scar up and down the already torn off scar tissue. Shoulder muscles hurt from falling on his back hard. Speech,(Click me for theme)

Symphony's voice softened as she turned her attention to Novella. Nuzzling her in return though pausing as her sister's words met her ears. "I might need your help...since I'm Ludicael's healer." The news was certainly rather shocking to the young female, certainly not having anticipated that at all. "You joined Ludicael?" She questioned, whilst Symphony had certainly been more open to forgiving Song than Howl had, this was still rather surprising. The young female realised however this was not the time for such discussions and was quick to push it away for now. "Just tell me what to do." She replied simply, certainly not having the knowledge of a medic, clueless as to the use of the pile of herbs Symphony had beside her. Myth had joined them now a cheery greeting sounding as she approached them. ?Symphony and Novella! Are the others here? Anthem?? Novella remained silent however as Symphony's disapproval of the attitude was swiftly voiced. "Myth, knock some sense into that brain of yours. do you not realize you a witness to a battle for rule over Ludicael? Ludicael is the pack i have recently joined and that is my alpha Jupiter. Why are you with that male? And why did you not come to us first?" Whilst Myth was apparently thrilled by the violent display before them, Novella had to admit for the first time there was a small amount of worry running through her, especially now that she knew why they were fighting, for the home that Song and her family lived in, that Symphony was now apart of and, as she had now realised, she definitely wished to join as well. This clearly was no little game, the sight of the blood brought more than enough realism even without the tension in the air. That fear from the rest of the Ludicael members was travelling to her as well, and for once the normally bold young wolf was not feeling quite so confident.

At last, the woman managed to ground the beast beneath her and with that in mind she relinquished her grip on his flesh momentarily. She threw her weight completely onto her hind legs as she had prepared to do earlier, quickly halting her momentum. Figuring that her tail would not be enough to protect her, she lightly pivoted her body past parallel and barely facing her left, both hind legs minutely to Oddity's left side. As he moved to try and bring his paws from about her shoulders to against her chest to keep her from him, she lowered her upper bodice slightly to make it to where he'd have to bend his legs and then push outwards if he wished for the motion to succeed, rather than just shifting his angle and keeping his legs straight to make it work. With her head still lowered from her earlier attack, she spied his jaws snap towards her right paw and she instinctively kicked her back right leg outwards to her right to keep herself propped up. Her ears pinned tighter and a snarl trickled from her maw as she attempted to pull her leg out of range but didn't have nearly enough time. She hissed, her tail flicking in its stationary position from under her, as his jaws clamped down on her paw and ankle and then pulled. The conflicting motions--her pull backwards of her paw and his to her left--caused his teeth to leave painful scores down the planes of her paw as his grip dragged downwards, catching and stopping at her toes in a matter of not even a second.

She was not able to prevent his bite but moved immediately to counter it as soon as she saw him making the move, ignoring the kicking of his legs due to her changed position, as his left leg only lightly ruffled the fur on her left side as it brushed her. Jupiter's mouth gaped once more in her movement and she tilted her head a bit to the left, her angle already aided by her earlier shift and now by the tilt. She attempted to clamp her jaws down on the bridge of his muzzle, both sets of canines aiming to crunch a little above his jowls. She hoped that what she believed was the threat of permanent damage and the pain would deter him from keeping his grip on her appendage for long should her attack succeed. Jupiter would, however, cease her own pull of her right leg backwards to try and free herself, knowing that tugging if he tightened his grip would only make the damage worse. Her balance wobbled slightly as she ensured that the focus of her rightward weight remained on her back leg, as planned.

To ensure her balance she would drop the defense of her shoulders pushed forward and would fly her tail back parallel with the earth, knowing that a fall at this point could mean the difference between beating him into submission and being the one beaten. The woman narrowed her eyes, hoping that if her bite hit its mark that it would also prevent him from attempting to get up, as she planned to keep her forceful hold on it as long as possible if he didn't release her limb. She kept her weight on her splayed toes so that she could move away to recover and briefly assess her own damage should he comply with her unspoken wishes.



round 3/4

jupiter vs. oddity for ludicael


ATTACKS: Aims to clamp down on the bridge of his muzzle, canines wishing to land just above the jowl area, to try and get him to release her paw.

DEFENSES: Kicks back right leg out to keep her from falling, sets tail even to help preserve her balance and stays on her toes in case she has to move once/if he releases her. She keeps her eyes narrowed and ears pinned in minor defense in case he tries to at any point go for her eyes or ears. Weight on left side spread evenly as usual but her right back leg still bearing more than it usually does.

INJURIES: Though it's pending in severity based on Oddity's next moves, she will receive a painful, 1/4th-inch-deep wound on the upper top of her neck that will likely scar. Pending injury to her toes (will probably end up being broken) but has wide cuts/gouges on top of her paw and ankle, as well as her pads cut in a couple of places, from where his teeth dragged down her flesh.



OOC: Sorry for the wait; this was the first day I wasn't at school until 8:30 or 9:00 PM. ^^;

"speech"

Oddity's back paws slipped over her(from when he had tried to kick her), unlike what he had wanted, but that was alright he was quick to react. His front forelimbs had trouble tucking since of her lowered body, but it made it easier for her to clamp down on the bridge of his nose. Oddity's limbs tried to scratch at her chest as they bent to be tucked. His eyes closed as he felt the pain of her attempt to try and make him let go of her right paw. Jupiter's jaws made a fair inch deep incision into his nose, possibly breaking it. Oddity jerked his head back; his jaws bit down harder in the blind pain, and he twisted himself (or trying to at least) to the right side. Her jaws tore into the bridge of his snout, causing lacerations at least two inches across it. Twisting and squirming himself, Oddity lifted up his right shoulder towards her lowered chest. His back paws, after missing his kick, came to his side and scraped into the dirt(for him to gain leverage and push up). He tried to keep his hold on her paw, jerking and throwing his weight in a diagonal way putting all pressure on his right shoulder. Oddity's front paws pulled onto the dirt as he used his body weight to try and push into her and overthrow her. His tail flailing in the dirt behind him, he tugged to the left onto her paw. Oddity, once into the position that he wished to be in(if of course Jupiter allowed him to, or if he had enough time to), brought his back paws up and tried to stand from underneath her. Oddity moved his head still trying to keep a hold on her right paw; he viciously pressed up with all of his might to over throw her. Oddity pressed his ears against the back of his skull, scrunching up his neck and shoulders to add as much effort into his push as he could. His two different colored eyes narrowed, as he didn't try to stop or release her grip on the bridge of his nose(that could have still latched onto him after making the lacerations). His toes splayed and claws dug into the dirt; jerking his head up in the same movement. Oddity would try to pull her every which way to try and make sure she was overthrown and would be on the ground beside him. Pain swelling in his joints from his painful twists and turns in his struggling attempts to get her off of him. Thrashing about in his tugs as the growls continued deep in his throat. Dragging his paws underneath him, he let go of her right paw finally. Hoping that his attacks had made their point; at this point he was worried about how much damage he'd been able to deal towards her. His rolls of fat scrunched up his shoulders and neck. Like a smaller leverage stick to change a tire as he threw his momentum onto her, in a fast weight thrown and momentum thrown based attack. His defenses still standing strong, this was his last attempt and pact a lot of power behind it. 4/4 Oddity vs. Jupiter For Ludicael Attacks:; Oddity has shifted himself to the right. Pulling his limbs under him with difficulty in an attempt to lift himself to stand underneath her and tackle her to the side. Still have his hold on her paw he tugs further on it or at least attempt to in order to support his attack. Also trying to Jerk his head up against her. Defense:; Ears are pinned to the back of his head and his eyes are narrowed. Muscles tensed, and skin and fur rolled up at his neck. Shoulders are rolled forward tail leveraged with his rump too keep balance as he tries to stand. Injuries:; Left shoulder torn near his neck and chest in scar area, sore muscles from fall and inch deep lacerations on the bridge of his nose along with an inch across in tearing.

Myth frowned as her sister addressed her, she glanced back over her shoulder to the fighting the knowledge tumbling around in her mind, searching for a hold. She pulled her ears back some, it was hardly fair, she had not known any of this so how could Symphony be so short with her? She swung her mismatched gaze back towards her sisters, looking a little hurt. "He promised me an adventure." She said as though that was explanation. "I didn't know that would mean him challenging for your new pack, or that you were even in a pack." She whined, trying to make them see how unfair this was.   "I did try to find you guys... I was following Novella's scent... but I got lost." She looked away, blushing some in embarrassment. She would look back just as Symphony did, seeing the fight differently this time. She frowned again, she still wanted to support the male that had brought her here but she wondered if she ought to be loyal to her sister's pack. Speech,
