'Til Death Do Us Part (Medusa x Newt)

Reflections shimmered against the cool sun. Transcending memories into bodies and exploring what once had been. Determination was a funny companion and one she had known well. This puppet knew nothing of the delicate matters it took to run a pack. She knew nothing of formalities or the royal bond it took to corral everyone into safekeeping. This was a mistake and she knew that if she won there would be sever consequences for them both. This wolf could have simply chosen to fight her as an equal rather then attempt to steal her kingdom. That was a fatal move and she would see to it she corrected it.

The way this woman looked onto her children made her bristle in anger. Yet, it was a good distraction, It seemed the woman thrived on reactions and she was unwilling to give her any. Her face was completely neutral minus the rage that sang in her eyes for her puppeteer. Jupiter would pay with her life, either here on the battlegrounds or at war in some not to distance future if she won. She was over stepping her bounds as a leader and causing unnecessary strife for her pack. It was clear she cared for nothing but her vengeance and she hoped that her pack could see the betrayal she was putting them threw. She was risking their lives for the satisfaction of her hatred, which was not an honorable trait. It was selfish and inexcusable.

Her ears twitched with the dripping acid the female spoke with. It was amusing really. This woman reminded her of herself. The day she had come to the battlegrounds to steal the crown from Sade had been on Zaras orders. Yet she had felt conflicted on killing the queen due to not knowing her. It seemed this woman cared not that they had no true qualms and already seemed to hold a seed of hatred for the queen slayer. This helped to sooth her mood. Kaios was capable of handling himself. She would have been content to observe his battle on the sidelines with her children and know if he fell it was on Jupiter?s paws. Retribution would come later but now the stakes were higher and the consequences would be dire.

?Should you have listened carefully you would have noticed my Daughter spoke of her father and your queen.? She said blandly, yet she was content that situational awareness was not the specialty of this wolf. She could use this to her advantage. Her tail flicked behind her as she gave Champion and unspoken order. Observe this fight. Record what unfolds and warn the others of what?s to come should this amateur beat me. she didn?t utter the words aloud but she knew Champion would understand regardless. Softness filled her gaze for a moment. It was an honest moment of true emotions for her comrade and it was gone in an instant.

His words rang in her heart. He loved her. That was enough fuel to help her destroy this pawn. ?Seeing as you are ignorant of the ways of royalty I will educate you. When it comes to challenging another for their thrown it is wise to speak your terms.? The voice of her father seemed to fill her head. She had been brought up as royalty, the heir to Voltaine, she had never wanted such responsibility as that role dictated. How ironic it was that she had stolen a crown and slaughtered the former queen and stood before this wolf to defend what she had taken with blood and honor. ?Since you are so eager to feel the grip of violence I will allow you the first move just as Sade allowed me. However, I will not be as merciful as she was. If you lose, you forfeit your life by any means I deem fair and as for your queen. Should she accomplish in killing my male then we shall be in open war. These are my terms? she said with finality. There was no arguing with what she declared. She hoped that Champion could support her decision. She wouldn?t allow death to be brought to those that weren?t worthy of it and the slaughter of a king was condemnable by death.

Her violet eyes were focused on her opponent. Nothing would distract her now. She watched as the girl circled her and allowed her body to move when needed to ensure she was never behind her and she was always in sight. She had given the option of starting this fight to the challenger just as Sade had down to her. Her body wanted to stiffen yet she allowed herself to relax. Her paws had moved to give her body balance. Her legs were limber and firm to help with dodging any direct attacks or to counter attack depending on what she chose to do. Her tail was level with her body and her ears were back. Her head was level with her body, protecting her neck and her coat was pushed upright into attention to give a harder chance of scoring flesh. It was winter after all and the behemoth was built for the snowy region of the north. Summer was her weakness and winter was her element.
