Nex Sacrementum

The sea cave shook with the sound of the tiger's call, and before the first syllable was out of her mouth, Gargoyle was on his paws. Those yellow eyes burned out of the darkness. Every hair stood on edge. His muzzle had drawn back and contorted into a hellish snarl. The shock and surprise at being awoken was enougth to rattle anyone's cage, add that to the fact that this beast was cornered with his family and anyone without a deathwish would be wise to back the h--- off. He'd tangled with feline's before. He'd had to fight a snowleopard for his dinner once, and it had accidently become a family tradition to claw an eye off a grown cougar. His size was a major advantage. Most grown cats - though long and wirey and thick with muscle, were not as tall as Gargoyle. Heck -there were bears and ponies that weren't as tall as Gargoyle. But this creature at the mouth of the cave? It could've been him in cat form. It was giant.

And before the words had even fully fallen on his ears, he realized what was going on. This was the beast that Awaken had dropped hints about. This was Sacrament.

A growl was dripped and spat from the giant's muzzle. It rebounded off the stone walls, doubling and trippling in size until it rivaled the sound of the waves. In it were two words for those of his family that had chosen to spend the night in this particular cave. "Stay back." And with that, the chief stalked to the edge of the cave, staying just within the shadows, where his yellow eyes continued to glow in the dark. He wasn't concerned with the idiotic fueds of the past. He was sick of them. Enough of his packmates had been endangered and hurt by Awaken's past and though, perhaps it wasn't fair of him to hold the rookie as responsible, he was still getting very annoyed. More than annoyed. Furious. "Prince Nexium has never resided here, cat," he rumbled, with tones devoid of anything but warning. "I suggest you leave."
