Daemonium

"Proud to be a rapist...a degenerate...you've fallen further than I'd hoped..." He hissed back. Whatever Elias thought he did right, had been completely wrong in Ace's mind. His brother had hurt them. And probably countless others. And when he claimed to have left his children behind in his care, he scoffed and rolled his eyes, teeth mockingly bared at Elias. "You left them behind without a word. Disbanded the pack without a word. You spill false truths trying to save your ass! Do you have any idea how scared Actaea was before I returned to find her nearly falling prey to coyotes!? You left her behind to die! You left us wondering what the fuck happened! All without a word to anyone! Your lies and deceit has gone too far, and yet you still try to justify your actions, no matter how wrong they were. "

"And now you killed Domina for being a child...hardly a real or good enough reason to have murdered her in cold blood. She didn't even get the chance to experience life! She didn't get the chance to live!" His body shook as he looked to the pool of blood where Domina once laid. "She will never know peace thanks to you." Crimson gaze flashed back to Elias, unhidden rage and anger and pain in his eyes. He ignored Elias' attempt at telling him he couldn't escape the Apollyon was met with a deep, guttural growl. "They abandoned me far before I abandoned them. Just as you abandoned me. Abandoned your children. Your pack. You threw everything away because of your own pride while using the excuse of your demons. I tried to believe, but you all made it too hard with all the justification of your actions. Trying to force me to rape my sister!? And if I'm the only one who believes that was all wrong, then so be it."

It was time to take action. He knew his words were falling on deaf ears but he needed to get it out.

He gathered himself, physically, mentally, and emotionally as he prepared for a fight. Elias would succumb to justice for his actions today, and Ace would make sure of that. He lowered his head over his throat, tail flagging out to align with head and spine. Eyes narrowed into crimson slits, lips lifting to expose stained teeth, the skin around his face scrunching up to further protect his visage. Hackles rose and shoulders rolled forward to protect each side of his throat and pull forth his scruff. Ears pinned to his crown and legs spread equidistant apart, toes spread for traction and claws biting the earth.

He was ready.

Ace mimicked his brother, jaws parting to release his own powerful roar. As soon as Elias burst forward, Ace did too. Powerful legs launched him up the terrain like a locomotive, every fiber of his being filled with rage as he sought to meet his brother head on. Although Elias had the advantage of higher ground, Ace had his own advantages, too. Muscles worked to bring him closer, body movement fluid as he climbed upward. His eyes never left Elias' own as they charged towards one another.

The distance between them was closing, and when the moment of impact was nearly upon them, Ace lifted himself up. Hind legs spread apart to take his weight and balance him, tail flagged out to act as a rudder to help him better his balance. He threw the entirety of his chest forward and upward in an attempt to bash it against the bottom-center portion of Elias' throat just above the upper part of his brother's chest in an effort to bruise him as much as possible and hopefully shove him back. The moment of his brother's impact on him jarred the alabaster male, causing teeth to bare with grit. A severe bruise would likely form there later, but adrenaline would soon course through him to keep him from feeling it now.

He sought to throw his forelegs around Elias' neck with his left foreleg seeking to rest on Elias' right shoulder and his right foreleg seeking to rest on Elias' left shoulder. He sought to get his brother in a bear hug, to keep him close and minimize his movements. As he did this, Elias' left shoulder collided into the bottom-center of his chest, the alabaster titan exhaling just in time to keep himself from being winded. A moderate bruise formed there, pulsing for a moment before the stream of adrenaline coursing through him blocked it out completely.

As Elias lunged forward to bite at his right shoulder, Ace was quick to take his chance. The moment Ace felt Elias' teeth touch his skin, he didn't allow his brother to gain more than a couple of inches across the shoulder (moderate lacerations) before his own jaws gaped open as wide as possible, gleaming and frothing fangs glinting with the light of the nearby volcano. A fierce and guttural roar escaped him as his jaws widely parted, the titan tilting his muzzle to the right and slightly downward, aiming directly for Elias' head. The alabaster beast lunged, fangs aiming to close over Elias' face. Upper fangs sought to pierce Elias' left eye (his left fang aiming for the eye socket) while his bottom fangs sought to score just beneath the right eyelid. Teeth aimed to slide across Elias' face, to close in a vice-like grip in an effort to stop Elias' attack [counter to most of the shoulder bite].

Elias would know pain today. He would suffer for his actions. Ace would ensure that Elias would never do this again...and if he did? Well...Ace would keep making him pay until his last breath.
