(Huskystar, yes, you may have a few cuts but you cannot be mauled or bitten, Like Ace. A few claw scratches is fine. And i know i am breaking my own rule but since the fight is going to start soon, Eclipse needs to give out orders. Besides, i could count Akadios as the third post =3. Also, thank you for extending your posts. c=)
Eclipse
Eclipse glanced up towards her Delta, Akane, who was walking over towards her. The females ears perked, ready to hear what the cattle dog had to say. But as Akane talked, her breath flowed outwards in a silent sigh. looking downwards at Merldae, she was going to try and ask the pup herself. "Merldae, i need for you to give a truthful answer to what i am about to say. How do you feel if you could have a new mothe-" Eclipse paused at the howl. Her gaze turned to Akane, who knew Akadios far better than herself. "Would he howl for a reason, Akane?" She barked, but before she got the chance to answer, Eclipse had rose too her paws and padded a few paces, her nose in the air. It smelt clean and fresh as the morning rode into the noon, but as she was going to dismiss the howl, blood fell. Eclipse took her nose away from the air. Her pack mates could be in serious danger. Why had she told them to do a foolish thing? "Dark, Akane, please look after the pack whilst i follow this scent." She barked clearly.
Breathing in deeply, Eclipse's paws pounded onto the ground as the scent of blood became nearer. Her paws had carried her to the outskirts of Hilled path. The blood scent was strong here, but it could be her hunters. Eclipse remember the hunters had returned a few minuets ago. Eclipse barked a warning signal to where the blood had come from, but she strode on, her ears perked under her flopped ear flaps. Her head was low and her body was tense. She pounced her way up the one of the Hilled paths and rose her head in the air once more. The smell was now faint with blood, but strong with dogs. She growled loudly, remembering the scent of the rival pack her former leader had told her about. The view of some of the pack was like looking at aload of mutant gorilla's: Grissly and fearsome. "So you dare step foot in OUR hunting ground." She barked loudly, as far as her voice could strain. She sprint down the hill, stumbling at how fast she went. "Oh, did little Eclipse look for who's blood we spilled?" The smaller dog spoke in a high voice, trying to match a females. "Who have you hurt. Where is you idiotic Alpha." She demanded, but the dogs did not speak, for their alpha had turned up behind them. Eclipse realised he was under a few inches lower than her, but his body was built of pure muscle. Her would have been good looking if he did not have nasty sneer on his face. "Oh Eclipse. The sweet little puppy that has the true blood of a humans girl." He growled. The Alpha was a Cane Corso, a dog she heard that was part of a dog fight when she was with her humans. The dog before her looked like a dog bred for its large muscles. "Who's-is-the blood." Eclipse said with her teeth clenched in a less confident voice. Her rival alpha took a moment to answer, his eyes surveying her body. "A little prune, that's who. Your messengers is the blood." He growled. Eclipse's eyes soften in worry. "Where is he." she said, her teeth clenched again in anger. "I tell you what. Since you are a good looking b*tch-", at this, the males chuckled in deep voices. "I shall give you a chance. A fight. If you win, i shall tell you where i think you messenger went, and the land remains yours. If i win, i can have your body. It will make a amazing sleeping spot." He said, moving to her shoulder and licking it. She dared not move incase he bit her. "Such a soft pelt. And of corse, the hunting grounds." Eclipse breathed in. Her Beta and Delta would organise the pack if she died. And for the safety of the rest her pack, she accepted the offer.
"Good good. Run along and get your best of you pack mates. I would love to see their blood spilled. But first, Alpha to Alpha. A nice little fight between us. If one is nearing HER death-" He said, a sly grin crawling across his face. He said this because he thought he was going to win this battle. "Than the rest of the pack will break into a wonderful battle where i will leave no dog in its safety." He cackled. The male Alpha turned to his pack mates and barked at them, "Go get the rest of the pack. Leave shorty there." He barked, looking at the small dog he dared not speak. Eclipse was about to lunge at the dog but as she took a step forward, the rest of the pack bared its teeth. Eclipse walked away, backwards, incase any of them tried to attack her. As the pack was out of sight, she ran as fast as she could. Eclipse did not know how near Ace was and she could not hear his whines for help over her paws which pounded the ground as she ran.
Pausing at her pack ground, she growled in anger of how her rival's could be so awful. She kept her calm in front of the pups, but her clenched teeth was a tell tale sign she was immensely furious. "Dark, get the warriors and hunters. Tell the healer to be aware that blood will spill." She said, passing him. "Akane, take the mothers and pups to a safer distance. We cannot afford for our future true pack members to be harmed. And where in the world is Akadios." She said. The Bluetick barked and bounded up to a rock where she made announcement. Nothing so serious has been recorded to be told where she stood. "The rivals have gone too far. They are taking the Hilled path as their hunting grounds. Also, i do not know where Ace is. If we win, we will keep the hunting spot and he shall tell us Where he thinks Ace is. If we loose, they have Hilled path plus your Alpha will be dead." She barked, meaning she was to be dead. "No pressure. Lets get moving people, Akane, remember what i said." Eclipse pounced off the large rock and led the way to Hilled path, her pulse pumping through her soft fur with adrenaline.(Everyone, please follow Eclipse to Hilled path except the Mothers and Pups. Akane will take them to a 'safer place' But as the pack starts, a few of the rival's find you. Everyone else, do not start posting about the fight. It starts off between both alpha's. Please post on how you follow Eclipse and how you line up about to watch the battle and then finally join in where i plan to get Eclipse into trouble. Do not post twice until i have started the fight with the Alpha. I am sorry if you think of me bossy, telling you what to do but just want to make sure if everyone understands. C=)
