Diavolos
In a desert void under the hot sun was a little dusty pup and his father, wandering through the endless plain of hot dry sands and rough ground. "We've been walking for ages.. my paws are bleeding and im hungry dad.." the pup's father stops in his tracks and lowers his massive antlers for the pup to climb on, "I know. We must keep going" he says softly as they start walking again with the puppy sitting between his antlers.
"Im sorry eagle.. you never deserved this.." the little pup stays silent at the memory of his mother, a beautiful striking black wolf with pure purple eyes, completely engulfed by a darkness, an evil carelessly tearing each pack member.. family member apart with little effort with not a sign of his once kind nurturing mother anymore. His last sight of her, her flashing eyes paralyzing the puppy in place as she walked towards him with a flick in her tail swishes and an unnaturally wide bloody fanged smile.
"Eagle" he snaps out of his trance and wipes a tear with his paw "mm.. momma.." his father picks up the pace to a soft trot *sigh* "your mother and i both knew the consequences of.. everything.. we just weren't ready for it to happen so soon…" eagles eyes widen "what do you mean?" He asks confused "your mother isnt a normal wolf, well she is but she was born with… lets say a curse, that curse is pure evil.. a monster.." he snarls "we knew this would eventually happen if we had a family and kept her around.. we just couldn't accept it.. she locked herself away from the world to keep everyone safe but i loved your mother so i didnt care what monsters occupied her body and mind.. but now we're here." The pup stars blankly at the scorching horizon as his father chokes on his next words "… Im.. Im sorry about momma and your little sister.. there's nothing we can do now. Im lucky i got to you in time but.. the curse i-its.." he takes a shakey breath "its genetic. Or at least your mother said so… that means you will most likely become one too."
A long silence sits between them as they process what's happened.
-Time skip-
A mature Diavolos is padding through the bushes trying to keep his growing antlers away from tree branches and vines while picking up scents of prey, "mm deer" he quietly tracks the scent to a small clearing where he finds what he was looking for "aha gotcha" he breathes while slowly creeping forward to the edge of the bushes,,
Suddenly feeling a burning feeling like something is scratching his brain, he lightly flicks his head and covers his muzzle to let out a soft growl "not this again, it's happening more and more often"
While attempting to get rid of the pain he notices another wolf creeping up on his prey, a grey wolf with black legs and unnatural coloured paws and eyes and some unusual body markings "but there isnt any other packs or wolves here?" He whispers to himself as he watches this strange wolf. The wolf silently closes in on its newly found prey, in plain sight but still oddly invisible to the prey about to go for the kill before being rudely interrupted by three angry snarling dire wolves, the prey scatters and the wolf turns to face them returning the snapping teeth and snarling "We've found you" one female wolf growls "Time to end this game and Abomination before you run off again shall we" the lead wolf growls back
The smaller grey wolf must be a in trouble eagle thinks to himself before quietly but swiftly making his way into the trees above the wolves, he settles down on a branch above the leading wolf clearly in the lones sights but yet she keeps her composure,
He snarls quietly gradually getting louder bringing their attention into the trees where his standing "who are you?!" One wolf shouts "You are in my territory, leave the she-wolf and i kindly offer no trouble and you can get out of here while you can" eagle growls "your a kid? Your territory??" "Your not even a male how can you be an alpha" one laughs "are those sticks growing out of your head?!?" The other snickers "my gender and leadership isnt up for debate but since you dont take my offer i will remove you by force" He jumps from branch to branch before leaping down infront of the lone female with a ground shaking thud "gGggGrRrrRRrRsSSs" Eagle lets out his unnerving growl like that of a wolf or lion merged with a snake and his pupils roll into a sharp slit. The wolves back up abit while the quiet one tries showing off his bravery and charging full speed only for the remainders to witness a shrill whine and a lifeless body in seconds with Diavolos holding a chunk of the wolf's throat in his jaws lifting his head up to let the fresh meat slide into his mouth and swallow it with a growl. The others all look on, paralyzed before running with their tail between their legs, he turns back to the lone wolf and gives her a friendly head tilt, she thanks him with a nod "My name's Diavolos but some call me Eagle" he takes a step back beginning to walk away "You never asked why they were after me" she stands with her head held low and ears outward "Its not my buisness Nameless"
"Your a Krosiirdae?" The lone asks bringing diavolos to a halt "How do you know what those are." He huffed as memories came flooding back from that tragic night, "Tales" she exclaimed "uh huh. No idea what your talking about" he begins walking again only for saffron to appear infront of him "i can smell it on you. You are no dire wolf nor Krosiirdae, you're different" she growls softly "what are you?" she demanded "How do you even know all this?? I have no idea what your even talking about, you can stay in my territory but at least dont pester me" he sighs as the scratching feeling comes back "your not a Zirclos, you only have two front paw-" "Im a Zirkoridae. A Khenkurine Zirkoridae." he growls softly turning to face her expecting to see a frightened face but is greeted with two different coloured, electrified burning eyes of the she wolf, while he remains calm he begins to feel something slowly rile up inside him, an urge to let something out "My name is Saffron" she breathes clearly struggling to hold this form "Zirkoridae are more dangerous than Krosiirdae, however you dont feel dangerous. Not that ive ever met one before" she adds.
Eagle stares for a moment lost in the beauty of the multicoloured electric volts dancing around their host making quite crackling noises, he notices her now glowing heterochromia eyes, slight heavy panting and saliva buildup around her now elongated turquoise tongue "you are struggling" he watches calmly "yea, just abit. The energy, concentration and willpower this takes is overpowering" she pants before reverting back to her seemingly normal self.
"Come" says Diavolos beginning to trot away with saffron following close behind "so you're on your own out here?" She asks "almost as much as you are" he says sarcastically before adding more "no not yet, I only have my Father now but i don't think he has much time,, then i will be on my own" a long silence sits between them until they meet the entrance of a small hidden cave and enter. "This is pretty cozy actually" saffron sniffs deeply to grab all the scents around "yea it is, hey dad" diavolos sits down next to an over faded wolf with cracked old antlers followed by a regal saffron "huh? Who is this Eagle? You're supposed to remain hidden went hunting" his father worries while sitting up "i was fine dad,, this is Saffron" she lowers her head gently before speaking "hello there" he eyes her wearily "nice to meet you too" they exchange a small tail wag and sniff "i was wondering if she could stay here with us" diavolos asked as they both looked at him unexpectedly " … mmm.. as long as she is no trouble and helps with everything it should be fine" the old wolf lays back down as saffron wags her tail softly giving him a small smile "Thank you Diavolos.."
That wolf is his best friend Saffron and they continued to grow up together trying to avoid being the abominations they were born to be.
