Mareous
Yawning, i stretched out and lay on my side under the sheltering steps of the stone castle. A vision of Haze flashed through my mind; Haze when she was a puppy, growling playfully with other cubs. Haze crying when she lost her family to the Dark Bloods. Haze looking confused when Mars turned up at the mouth of the cavern. Haze running, the wind whipping back her dark fur, her gorgeous eyes locked on mine ... Wait, what?! I sat up, growling. The vision of Haze kept replaying in my head ... and then 2 words. Haze... Beautiful ....

Haze had returned from a hunt, still searching for the monster that had stalk her in her dreams and in her sanctuaries. Blood was on her muzzle and the wild look in her eye was still visible. Her breath was still uneven, the elk dead at her feet. She watched Mareous closely, still not trusting him. "You can have the rest." She said coldly, stepping away from the kill and looking off into the distance, her nose raised slightly. She inhaled deeply, no sign or scent of the beast that had been following them. There were safe...for now.

"Why would i still be hungry when my eyes have been devouring your beauty?" I asked softly, coming up beside Haze. I stood slightly shouldering her out of the way, ears pricked, nose and head held high. I was silent, wondering if she would think me a trickster, or a beast.

Haze laughed, "Yeah, right." She growled, walking a few paces ahead, seeing that snow was on it's it way. The wind was cold, causing Haze to quiver with excitement, she was ready to get this beast.

"Yes. Haze, i can't believe it's taken this long for me to notice your beauty ..." I faced her, staring her deep in the eyes. Those beautiful eyes... "If anyone dared touch you, i'd rip them apart" I blinked. "Haze ... i'm sorry" I said, bowing my head.

Haze was taken aback by Mareous change in character. "Then you'd have to rip yourself apart," the granddaughter of Mars and Venus snarled, "You were the one that placed your claws on me." She watched Mareous bow low and spat in disgust. How could Mareous think she'd just forgive him like that? She felt so many conflicting emotions bubble up inside of her and she needed to get away. The black wolf turned and ran, the snow floating down from the sky. She had to stay away, she had to breathe. Why couldn't she catch her breath?

"I'd do anything for you. Even if it was rip myself apart" I sat down, watching her run off, staying where i was. She needed time to be alone ... I got up and started trotting back to Moro's castle, jogging up the long steps and up to the tower, where the dungeons were. I opened the cells and cleared all the old bones out, getting them ready in case there was a betrayer.

Haze was alone, images of her parents crying out in pain. Blood, fire, pain. So much pain. "I'll never forgive you--how could I forgive you." Haze snarled bitterly. She sat by the freezing riving, wishing to sleep and never wake again.
Little did she know, that the beast was watching her from the shadows, drinking in the pain and bitterness she had.

Sharp, jagging pain. Like heart burn, only alot worse. "H-Haze!" I rasped, closing my eyes. When i opened them, i was cringing under a fallen tree, watching Haze ... and some thing else. The heart burn stopped just as SOMETHING leapt out of the shadows, straight for Haze. "HAZE!" I shouted, jumping for the beast. I grabbed it's chunky neck as it bit down on my paw, snapping it beneath it's huge jaws. I gasped in pain and grabbed the neck again, wrenching and twisting my head. There was a crack and the beast gave a howl and a whimper, clumsy paws striking my head, bursting a hole through my ear and a slash along my side. I dropped down after checking the beast was dead. Trying to catch some air, my vision blurred and my blood stopped flowing from my wounds.

The beast cried out and slithered away, howling and snarling. Haze turned, conflicted. Would she chase the beast or help Mareous? She snarled, her head whipping from side to side.
Finally, she trotted over to Mareous, checking his wounds. He was wounded in the neck. The black wolf hissed and smelled the wound, dark magic bubbling and popping at the open skin. Whatever attacked Mareous--was more evil than Haze had realized.

"Haze ... i-i love yo-you" I murmured, reaching out my painful, snapped paw.

Haze felt a twang of pain in her heart. She wasn't sure if she could love Mareous but if he was willing to risk his life for her, perhaps one day she could to learn to trust and maybe even love him. She howled, calling for help. She snarled, picking him up and bringing back to the black blood territory. Since meeting her great grand father, her powers had awoken, making her stronger than most male wolves and swifter than the birds of the air.

I felt myself being lifted and allowed myself to fall a prisoner to slumber. I dreamt of me and Haze lovingly sitting side by side, watching grey-black pups yowl and roll with each other playfully. But then a jolt shook me back to reality and the happy vision disapeared.

Haze allowed some medic wolves treat him, white magic, fighting off the dark magic that attached to him. She paced, waiting to see if he was okay. It was her fault that he was in pain, he was suffering. It was family trait that Haze had inherited from Moro, the one that causes and ultimately brings pain.

Haze pulled back, relieved that Mareous was still alive. "Good, now I don't have to worry about having someone else die because of me." She said half laughing.

I laughed, then looked at her. With a sudden leapt i was on top of her, covering her with licks and hugs, yowling happily.

Haze snarled at first, surprised and sure that Mareous was lunging for her throat. But his action was firm but loving. She closed her eyes, breathing slowly, allowing Mareous to move across her. He saved her life, she had to give him this. It was strange for Mareous to be this close and this--loving. Haze was unsure. If she had been honest, dumbfounded. Her eyes suddenly turned red, Moro taking over her body once again. She pulled away, her once blue eyes now red.
"The queen calls." She said, her voice hallow. The black wolf, brushed past Mareous and toward the castle room were Moro was. Her line of silver fur--the scar that Mareous had given her years ago, shinning in the dimly lit room.

I looked on sorrowfully as she walked away, the scar i gave her glinting. I gulped, licked my lips and went off hunting ... looking for wild horse, Haze's favourtire ... i think.

Once Haze was in the castle, her possession was released, Moro had spoken to Haze while she was under her power. Mareous was gone, and the black wolf, slumped to the ground, tried and emotionally spent.
