A Soft Sigh; A Vigilant Heart (Hiro)

[Deleted]

felix;;

The soft sound of footsteps came from the undergrowth, and out slipped a petite woman, green eyes scanning the area before proceeding. The werewolf sniffed the air, and, when she was satisfied, continued her way into the graveyard, though some seemed intimidated by it. Her hands finally came to rest on a tombstone that wasn't too old, though it had been there for a bit. A name was inscribed on there, one that held many memories for Felix.
Her father was the one that had raised her, had taught her everything she knew. That ranged from fighting, to acting like a lady, to getting a job and managing her money.. all the things in life that two parents should have done together. The woman was missing him deeply, perhaps too much for her own good with the conflicts arising in the city.

Next to that grave was her mother's, though Felix wouldn't go near that one. It was her own fault her mother was dead, by the woman's own claws and teeth. She sighed, and her eyes closed for a minute, though no tears came. A single flower fell onto her gave, and Felix began to walk away, her heart feeling slightly more at peace. However, that was interupted, as the scent of another being here wafted around her, though Felix couldn't tell exactly what it was. A low growl came from her, looking around, trying to pinpoint them.

Walking in the darkness. Isn't that typical for a wolf such as the great Hiro the leader of wolves. More a like a fueding nation of them. Everywhere he saw a fellow wolf they were fighting eachother for scraps of food and water. Like, animal. Useless mindless animals only looking for food, looking for some to mate with. They didn't have the big picture like he did. No. He was done, with just using slaves for sex. Just fighting to survive in this condemn place. Being used by greedy vampires and picked off by human hunters. There were even other woves hunting their own kind, how patheic. This had to end, he wanted to unite all wolves under him he was done seeing his kind die off, slowly and painfully.

The mighty wolf jumps high on top a tree, looking over head. The wing blew hard with his trench coat and mask following the breeze. The wind was warm and the moon's light pierced the darkness, the smell of another wolf enter his nose like a wildfire. She smell wrecked with compassion, depression, yet to prideful to show it. He allowed his scent to follow the wind instead of hiding. No, no...There was no need to. There was a war and if their kind wanted to survive, they will join him. Many have joined the cause but not all. He needed all. Something did not bode well with the elder, Lucius Erif. The attention on the female wolf returned, his eyes followed her closely. It's looks like she lost someone. With his great speed he appeared behind her. "It is wise to shed a tear or two for former loved ones." He said guessing that she lost loved ones.

A loud snarl came from Felix as she whipped around, hand already going out to strike the man, but stopping in time. The little werewolf didn't like being surprised, and that proved that she was slipping up in what she had been trained to do. The man was obviously a Lyan, and a powerful one at that. Felix had no wish to pick a fight with him, considering that she was already making enemies with a couple of the more powerful people in the city. Trust no one, for the most part, was the key to the way Felix worked. There were a few she held close, yes, but other than that.. everyone was a target to be taken to the slave auction, by Felix herself.

Backing away a step or too, Felix was wary of the man before her. "And what makes you say that? Tears help no one." She was purosefully contradicting him, for she had cried in her life over the loss of her parents. "I have shed those tears long ago. Besides.." Felix circled him once, watching for any sign of hostility towards her. Felix was a spit-fire type of person, her cocky attitude never escaping her. "What would someone so powerful as you know about such?" She had no care that she was talking to the Lycan Lord, though she didn't know.

He remained in his calm composure. Not even blinking at her could-be devastating punch. She was really young, and had so much energy. And she seemed to be pretty angry from what he thought, with the whole surprise and all, thinking she had already detected him. He looks into her eyes sternly, but at the same time giving a feeling to trust to her, helping her feel more comfortable. "I don't wish to fight you....Yet....I am here because, I know what you can do. I want you to fight for me." He spoke calmly, compassionately but strong like a leader. Yes, he was quick to the point but there was something bothering him and he wanted to get ready for anything that happens.

"Shedding tears..." He paused a bit, sighing. "Shedding tears, shows you care, shows that you are able to show compassion. Good qualities my dear. Whether or not, regardless, of what you are taught, compassion and kindness are not weaknesses." He sniffed air, a faint smell of blood, vampire blood. It was far away, exactly where the Storm mansion was. He focused on the girl for a moment. "What is your name my fellow wolf?"

[Deleted]

Felix wasn't sure if she could trust the man enough, but then..
Ah.
So this was Hiro, the Lycan Lord- or perhaps one of his subordinates. Well, he was in for a surprise when wanting to recruit Felix, that was for sure. Though yes, she was a werewolf, the woman had no desire to fight against any of the vampires. Felix had made the decision to stay nuetral throughout the whole thing, and Hiro would now have one hell of a time trying to convince the woman otherwise.

"And so compassion is a good quality, I won't deny that. However, I show it to those that deserve it. I don't think that if you're wanting me to fight for you, I should show that on the battlefield, no?" Felix didn't let her green eyes drop, for when a wolf did that, it showed submitting to the person who kept that gaze, placing you under their control. At the same time the male Lycan smelled the blood, so did Felix, and she cracked a smile. "Look's like their fighting again.. ah, Kayen didn't like me very much." It was true as well. Kayen had been dead, far as Felix knew, and she was on his hitlist because she stopped him from killing a white angel. Figures. She was horribly wounded, and that led to a friendship between another Lycan and her. The morning after her arrival at Rufiel's place, she was informed of Kayen's murder.

"Name's Felix Delos.. and I think it's safe to assume you're Hiro..?" Felix said, the serious tone gona now, in more of a smirk than a smile, more like cocky and arrogant, the usual Felix that one could expect. No longer morose, she was an upbeat person always getting into trouble. "You may want me to fight on your side, but I will have to refuse on that one, sorry." Felix still kept eye contact, letting him know she was dead serious. After all, she took it as an offer, though Hiro might not have made it sound like a choice she had.

She was cocky and arrogent, she reminded him of his little brother. Dash always loved to be in a scrap and such. The boy was always cocky, young to say even though he is almost two thousand years old. The old, great lycan smiled down on the she-wolf. Not many denied him but nor did he force anyone to fight. He found himself petting the girl warmly on the head as if she was his kin, this surpised him. Quickly he stops himself. "I only wish for your safety. And the safety of our kind. As you know we are a dying breed, only due to the fight we don't fight as one. One being."

He circled him memorizing her smell, her looks, her eyes. "My dear. I have a vision, to see our kind become powerful. To see us fight for a cause. Not for power, not for wealth, not for vampires. I want to stop slavery, I want to see our kind thrive. It is near impossible to see. But there is always a chance. Even if it is small. There is hope for us all. I fight for our people, this inculdes you my dear." He said truthfully. He wasn't trying to entice her, just let her know why he is leading the lycans and wolves.

Resisting the urge to bite the hand Hiro had layed on her, Felix looked away, finally. She didn't like submitting to him in that way, but.. it wasn't like he would use that against her, no? "I am no Lycan." That statement rang true, and the little femme looked up to him, an unmistakeable pride in her bright green eyes. "You know, I wouldn't be here if.." she said, letting the end of it trail off. It wasn't hard for one to guess what she was about to half said.

So Felix was smaller than the great Hiro, yes, but looking up to him, her headinclined, it was back to that playful manner of hers. "Besides, I don't see anybody helping a poor, defenseless little werewolf in her time of need. No Lycan came to help me.. though we are related. Why should you be so concerned about a little teenager, hm, Hiro?" She stepped away from him, the smirk dropping instanly. "You may fight for the wolves, but I will not shed blood for that cause." Again, refusing to help him, but firmer. Felix had absolutly no desire to do so.. after all, she was a solitary person for the most part. The only two who saw her otherwise were Rufiel and Lucian.

[Deleted]

"We Lycans were enslaved my dear." He smiled. He never understood the youth and he never hated time, but with a new power. Comes arrogence and when born with that power came, superiority. He understood this concept very well unlike the wolf youth. "Now, now. Everyone has had their time of major grief. There is the strong and there are the weak at heart. Obviously you are strong at heart youngling. To remain alive when all you kin has fallen. You must of develop a mindset, of being alone and fighting alone. I understand." He was about to extend a hand to her, when the cold Ramidon appeared.

"My lord." Ramidon spoke in his caribban accent bowing his head. "Anobi has confirmed that the Vampire lord Kayen, attempted to rally up the vampires for war. But has fallen in a skirmish with the one who call themselves the 'Enlightened'. They are well equipped, I suspect that Lucius has helped them with their arms. The wovles are in great threat than before. For your vision to pass, I advise to ally with a pack led by the one called Gunnar. He can be proved useful. We might go to war soon milord your orders?" The smell of Felix entered his nose.

He sighed calmly. "Ramidon, go see this pack. See if they will fight, there doesn't have to be a war." Ramidon quickly responds. "I have seen it there will be blood, of all on the streets. And---" He was cut off by the lord. "Ramidon, I gave you your order. Now, go." Ramidon bows his head. "I apologize my lord." With a crack of his whip he disappears. "Felix, I care for all. But I can only help those who call for me. If you wish to be in the middle, it is your choice. I will always be here."

She watched the scene between the two Lycans, superior and subordinate, play out, mildly interested. "Well, to tell you the truth.. I was planning on just getting out of the picture altogether. However.." Felix looked back to Hiro. "I suppose I can fight."
She let the words sink in before going to speak again. Yes, there would be conditions that Felix had, and still, a bit more, maybe, besides that, if she could get away with such with the Lycan Lord.

"I have a couple of questions for you. And then, my conditions on which I'll fight dor you." Hey, if he wouldn't force her to fight for him, then Felix would get all she could from the man. After all, he had so many at his disposal.. besides, there were other priorities, though Hiro did prove a good point. A step closer made Felix have to look up at him. "The questions can wait, but.. my conditions are these.. I don't come when called; I am not a puppy. Lucian gets protection too. As well, I have no desire to join any pack.."

That last part was contradictory to what she was already in, a nice, nuetral pack. However, what Hiro was offering might be better than what she was getting there. A gamble to be made, yes, but it was worth it. Lucian was her slave, as well as her lover. They were together, and Felix wouldn't have it any other way. She had no intentions of losing him. "And maybe getting paid?"

[Deleted]

He smiles at her overconfidence. "I know of your pack. They will be joining after Anobi meets with them. Nevermind how I knew. But being the kind lord that I am. I will accept. But If continue to act like a puppy you will be treated as such. As well you will need to train under our military style. To see where you fit best. Pay? Pay? Ok for every battle you have joined thats when I will pay you. The better you do in your contriubtion the higher the pay. Got me?" He said as a counter offer.

"As for the slave Lucian, if he wants protection, he will have to do fair share in the work. Regardless of his fighting ability. He will work in one of my personal club perhaps? Make income." He smiles. "I don't want to have men protecting him for nothing after all. I need as much as possible for this coming war."

[Deleted]

Drawing back indignantly, Felix looked at him. "I'm not acting like a puppy!" However, by saying that, Felix techically was, though she wouldn't point that out; Hiro already knew it. "As for the military style.. heh, sorry. I'll train, but I do things my way," she retorted, not planning on giving up her fighting style. She was unique, and she wouldn't become a Lycan drone. Sighing, she leaned up against a gravestone, looking at the three-quarter moon hanging in the sky, a beautiful thing to most, when it didn't rule your life..

"That's fine. Don't worry, I won't run you out of money that fast, Hiro. Lucian's a good fighter, he'll help.. probably.. unless, of course, it was one of your men that enslaved him, then there might be some problems. However, I highly doubt that, so we'll be fine there," she said lightly, closing her eyes, just inhaling deeply, letting the surrounding scents fill her up, a contented expression on her face. It smelled like the fresh rain, the woodsy, musky scent as well, along with some animals up and about, along with an unknown tension that seemed to hang everywhere nowadays. "So, Hiro, I believe we have a deal, no?" And still, no honorifics to the man, little respect - if any - shown.
