 Bring Me Down [riagan vs kabos]
« Thread Started on Aug 8, 2007, 12:06am »

Kabos
any last words?



---------------------------------------------


Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me
I only saw with my eyes what they wanted to see
And everything around me seemed to never change
Looking for an easy way out someone to blame
Why does it work this way still today?
We wanna take somebody down along the way
But I won't let that one be me
Cause I don't want the drama it brings
See today isn't back in the day anymore
I know a little more than I did before
So don't forget before you try bringing me down
What goes around always comes back around



---------------------------------------------



...silent...


So, the time has come. The opportunity is set before me to defend my throne, proving that even age cannot stand in my way. I was wondering how long it would take for a dark to get up the guts to pit himself against me. I've held my rank since it came into existence- Dark Wolven King... it's been years now. I was young and in my prime when I first assumed that title. I was strong and energetic and quick... "Nothing has changed," I think to myself with a ghost of a smirk which quickly falls once more, fading into my countenance as if it was never there to begin with. I'm still all I was before- and more. I'm much wiser now even than I was before- so what's a few gray hairs flaking my muzzle? I've still got what it takes to rule an entire alliance. But why am I called this hour to prove this point? Now, more than ever, they need me. A blasted earthquake is to blame for the current state of confusion which has risen amongst the creatures of Empire- our lands have merged with that of those bloody horses. But instead of gathering my forces and systematically slaughtering each equine who did not bend to our will, thus restoring peace to the dark lupines, I'm here, sending some ambitious fool to an early grave. Much as I enjoy the taste of blood on my tongue, I can think of a thousand places I'd rather be right now than here, now. I've got much better things to be doing- where was this brute when I was bored out of my mind, frustrated with the lack of lupes in Empire? I really could have used the entertainment then. But no, when I'm needed elsewhere, I'm here at Barron Ridge, and ticked off to boot. What sort of idiot would pull a stunt like this? I'm curious to see. I wonder what his last words will be just before I jerk out his throat and effectively decapitate him for causing me and my alliance such troubles. Plead for mercy? Insult me? Or silence? It's just a matter of time.


...alert...


I've been watching for some time now the ever-darkening skies. The clouds are billowing like great plumes of smoke on the horizon, promising to bring rain and chaos in their wake. Bad weather always brightens my mood... but not tonight. No, not even the hot, humid air seeping through my nares with each breath can break the frown which seems to be set in stone across my muzzle. Normally I'm of good humor, taking everything in stride and then turning to smirk at it before continuing on my way. But again- not tonight. This is different. This fool is not only insulting me by daring challenge my position, but also the dark race by attempting to overthrow the very leader who will show the way to victory. My auditives are laced back to convey my displeasure at having been pulled from my plotting to take The Devil's Closet and the rest of the dark terras for the wolves alone. My tail is curled tightly over my back, each vertebrae pulled taunt and showing no signs of give. My golden spheres blaze through the darkness, alight with rage and little more. The muscles in my lips are held firmly back- my fangs would glisten brilliantly in the moonlight if there was any; but nay, for it seems a new moon is upon us, and besides, the clouds would block its view anyway. The hair along my back is bristled slightly in my annoyance as I make my way toward the place where tonight, I will be murdering another.

...bold...


Liquid movements carry me e'er nearer that fated place, that hallowed precipice upon which countless brutes had come together to settle their differences once and for all. Teeth, hooves, hair, and flesh have clashed here and gallons of blood have been spilled across the dusty earth across which I tread. This explains the faint red tint with which it is stained- all the rains of the world could not wash away the past that has etched itself across this land. My golden lanterns take all this in for the first time with one broad pan of my crown. I make mental notes of the places where rocks jut out of the stone floor, the high crag wall besieging the ridge, but most of all, the ragged edge itself, where land meets oblivion in a seamless weaving of earth and sky. I pace slowly toward it, gazing solemnly over the extremity. There seems to be no bottom- a thick, dark mist hides it from view far below where I stand. I wonder to myself how many have met their end here, shoved off the brink by their foe, tumbling through the air faster and faster until their body is shattered against whatever lies below. My brows draw in slightly- tonight, there will be one more added to that count. It won't be me.

...ready...


My head nods stiffly, resolutely, confidently before I turn my frame and move to the other end of the platform, my blunt nails scraping faintly against the stone. I come to a halt and rotate to face the passage where I anticipate my nemesis will enter from. It is at that very moment the clouds seem to give way to their burden and, with a crack of thunder and quick flash of lightning, the rain begins to fall. Normally this would annoy me, but I don't think it's possible for me to be any more so than I already am. The drops of liquid cling to my long, flowing pelt, causing it to become flush with my bodice. I maintain my posture, standing firm and poise in the midst of the storm. The strong gusts shove at my form, trying in vain to push me back against the stone wall behind me. My cold nose twitches, although the rain masks any scents which might be lingering. I wait in reserved silence, my mind falling silent for the time being as I allow time to pass and my adversary to arrive for his destruction. I will not lose. I won't give him the pleasure of beating me. I will be victorious. I will, for now and forever, be known to all as King Kabos, ruler of the dark lupes.

The heavens break to cover them with shattered skies. Grasping the ground with crooked claws, hateful wolven. He's been known as winter see his heart had split into a million shards. In which there is no freedom where he is bound to the sound of their demise. Spites of fire march in rows, Bloody warriors, mother fury still it grows! And again it is time that he dies in the depths of heartlessness. With a twisted smirk the beast had crept forth, his claws gripping at the hard stone surface of the ridge. Anticipation over laps the wolven. His breaths fall heavy for adrenaline plagues him. Ah but there's something new about him.

For there's dying smiling faces, in which he sees tears in joyful eyes. Followed by silent screams, that have carried the sounds of bliss. But there is no leap of faith, and in which the choice ain't yours to make. For your mind can't own the purpose of soul, Under the ground he flies. To hide from the brilliant sky, the sky that had withered and twisted in agony, spilling its sorrow onto the dying earth. And under his armor he cries. Doing it for the one who saved his life, he's done it all. Doing it for the one who stole your life. It all comes down and it all blows up. When he loves the most, he must lose his touch. But when he lives the most, he's already given up. With divine insanity and sweetness in brutality. With chaos in the cradle of lost reality. He's to give up everything. To find the soul within, only to see the wonders of Nothing. Divine insanity; How it all could be. How it all should be. And this is all to the reason of why he had come here tonight, to put an end to a careless rule.

For if you forget all your worries; The bleeding and suffering;
Let your mind rest and live a little more dear Kabos. So forget all your worries with those wounds that'll soon be present and the stumbling you'll soon be doing. So leave all your bullets to the sidelines. Oh how the lights suddenly disappear. And the world falls asleep to the sound of angels singing, the prettiest symphony. And life lies halfway to the night; So dear Kabos forget all your worries and Remorse with the insanity. For soon you'll just have to close your eyes and sleep tight. For your thrown will be re-announced and sweet ol'Riagan will stake claim. With furry and an undying fire, Riagan had made his way along the stone path that was to lead him to his enemy. But Riagan didn't approach with a frown nor a happy smile. He approached with seriousness. His pale yellow eyes' were the only thing that had lit up in the night, for his coat was as dark as the night skies, no deformity nor any lack to perfection. Riagan's large pads had carried him over many miles, his body had also felt the creep of age but he was not to loose to such a weaker pest.

With the song of war thundering over his ears, along with the cracks of thunder and the flashes of lightning. His world was drowned out by the rain and the billowing wind. He had stopped to be face to face with the one he'd be murdering tonight. That seriousness had soon been swept clean and a murderous cackle had arisen. It was time to dance. With the phrase, Oh how the mighty fall. It's time to turn the stone to find another world, and all the roads we've roamed with pride, now decay under our steps of fright. Fall, oh how the mighty fall, The glory fades too soon. He fears that the good of war becomes the fear that our story ends too soon. He saw it all begin so well, but it's our virtues that they sell. And so he might win the war, or be shot down by everything worth living for. He'd make this worth dying for. A snarl was to soon be placed over the sappy, cackling appearance. His toothy grin wasn't to be mistaken as friendly just a tad cocky. "And so the dance must begin, dear Kabos. Just forget all your worries and die peacefully tonight." with words spoken Riagan had made his first move, although he seemed to stand still for several moments, as though savoring, or unsure before he lunged forward. His jaws agape reaching for the scruff of the wolvens nape. Saliva, foam, and slime flew from his jaws spattering across the muddy earth. His paws churned up the wet ground as he moved. The movements itself spoke, they weren’t the graceful movements of a hunter going to take down it’s prey, these were like a juggernaut; Unstoppable charges meant to cause harm at any cost. But only time would tell if he'd make his mark or not.

You can't bring me down
Do you hear what I'm trying to say?
You can't bring me down
I'll never turn the other way.



---------------------------------------------


As the night wore on, I begin to grow impatient. The fool summoned me out here, now he's just wasting even more of my precious time. It seemed to have been hours since I arrived, although in reality it had only been several minutes. Perhaps it was simply my looking forward to getting this over with that seems to be causing the seconds to tick by as quickly as an ant's agonizingly slow descent down a tree. Either way, when the brute finally does appear, I lock my eyes onto his with no other feeling within me than rage. This little game of his is costing me so much, and in the end all I'll have to show for it is what I already had before- my crown- and maybe a cut or two if I let him have that much. I never have been one to favor any sort of vanity, so this entire episode really ticks me off. I'm not traditionally short in the temper department, so it is rather out of character for me to be so completely angered, but what else is to be expected of me when I get drug out here in the middle of the night when there is so much more for me to be doing? A low growl escapes my larynx unbidden as I hold my ground, watching the silhouette of the other move nearer. A bolt of lightning slicing its way across the heavens reveals to me a very arrogant smirking face. I only have an instant to take in his features, but it is plenty for me. I'm surprised to see he appears about the same age as I am- I had expected some young, ambitious child to try to push me from my throne. Perhaps this is but an overgrown version of my idea- he's obviously not the brightest if he's challenging me in such a time of dire need for our alliance. Or perhaps he's simply not concerned with the dark race- maybe all he cares about is power. Yes, that must be it. I can reason out no other cause for this outrageous ordeal. Of all the probabilities, that one seems likeliest, and it ticks me off the most. Pity for him.

I stand motionless, the rain pelting my frame relentlessly, the thunder drumming rhythmically above in the heavens every so often, the lightening dancing in its brilliance in a similar consistency. My expression is drawn, seeming to be as hard as the stone wall behind me, my auds nearly one with my scull. I suppose this fool will have the first attack- he is, after all, the antagonizer. But before he lunges, his words ring out, nearly made inaudible beneath the chorus of the storm around us. However, my harks are able to make out his words, and he would probably be disappointed to know that they have no affect on me whatsoever. They don't enrage me more, for that's not possible at this point, and they sure as all heck don't scare me, so whatever purpose he hoped them to serve falls with the liquid drops down the ravine. However, no sooner has he spoken them than he thrusts toward me, fangs obviously aimed at the scruff of my neck. What a foolish target. That is the place where my hide is most thick, and even a wolf's fangs will have trouble breaking through. Even if he does, all he can do is shake and try to draw some blood. What an idiot. I allow him to take hold of me, and I can feel the tips of his ivories penetrating through my flesh, but they are unable to dig in any further than that. I make no move to escape his grasp, but rather wait until I am certain he has a good grip and is not about to release.

When I am of the opinion that the timing is correct, I decide to make use of the stone wall to the opposite side of that which the brute has hold of. I suddenly yank my head around, intending to take the brute with it, until I am standing completely opposite of what I had only a moment before, the other lupe between me and the rocks. I then shove with all my might toward it, my strength enough to certainly crack some bones should he be unlucky enough to endure the impact. My intentions are to crush the other between me and the wall so he will be wounded sufficiently to allow me a more fatal attack. However, the success of my attempt remain yet to be seen as I allow my mind to focus only on what is happening, what my opponent is doing, anticipating his next move. Through the darkness I can see but a silhouette, but that is all I need to read his body as one would the words of a book. Although it is true that I have not seen combat in years, power radiates throughout my very being and wit and cunning dwell abundantly in the lobes of my gray matter. This fool will not set foot on the Devil's Closet, nor will he sit upon any metaphorical throne. The determination in my optics as I hold near to me this goal is even visible in the pitch black of this blustery night; indeed, the simple ire which had occupied my twin lanterns of amber is replaced momentarily by this conviction. Through my mind the phrase runs constantly: "I will not fail the darks." With a bitter snarl I recenter my weight so I stand evenly upon all fours, and if my attack had been successful, my nemesis has been released from his captivity, free to again pursue the empty vanity behind his attempt to dethrone the rightful king.
