Trueno Cuervo Falls - Grounds
The new property was found and with the cloudy skies the call had been made to Brooke asking for her help in seeking out the totem that held the most draw for the Ahroun and for the duty of the pack. The large Russian standing at the split in the drive looking over to Astraea as he grins asking her, "Hushed Blaze should be here soon to help us get on the proper path."
Astraea was dressed for the hunt it would seem, a smirk tugging at her lips. "Ah....well the one that wanted us in wolf form, right?" A lick of her lips, the tall woman glanced over to him then. There was a pep in her step as she looked ahead. "Thank I need my bow?"
Brooke drives up to the property, and parks her car. She pulls out a box with items, and is ready to go. "Hello! It is good to see you again Howls with the Blood Rain, Luna's Arrow." She raises an eyebrow and smirks to Astraea, "That was patrol. For this, I hope you bring more to the quest." She looks to Sasha, "We need to find a good place to setup. You both need to prepare to enter the Umbra, and be ready to face your greatest, most serious challenge to date."
Sasha's nostrils flare slightly taking in the scents of the area and that new scent upon his pack mate and beta, His brow raising slightly as he leans Oh..so big fucking Russian subtly towards the Greek woman sniffing again before he leans back straightening up some as he nods. "For Patrol da, For this..we will see." The man telling her before he glances over watching her a moment or two before nodding, "Yes, go get the bow just in case.." When Brooke arrives he smiles looking to the woman, "Thank you for coming Hushed Blaze-Rhya, And for assisting us with this. It will be good to start this path and pack more fully." The man then nods as he motions to the lake beyond, "Will work yes?"
Astraea looks at him, brow raising as he leans in. Then it dawned on her. Pursing her lips she just steps away and nods to Brooke. "Hello there! Same here! Let me...." She just moves and to her car. Opening up her car, she pulls out that bow and....something else. Hanging it around her neck....the small blade like item was now on. Making her way back to the two she just holding her bow, arrows, and the like in hand. "So...yeah..."
Brooke directs them to all stand in a circle. She pulls out a mortar and pestle, and then puts in some pre-mixed ingredients. She begins stirring them some more in it. "When you are ready, you will take this compound and apply it to your eyelids. Take each other's hand, and move across the Gauntlet into the Umbra. Typhon will be coming for you there and place your Pack on the path to covenant with Typhon an the Pack. Be ready for this." She finishing mashing together this mixture that is rank until they are in place and prepared.
The Russian smirks seeing that realization dawn upon Astraea, A softer smile given moments later as he looks upon the Beta. "We will talk later." The man's focus returning to Brooke as he nods moving into the circle. The large Russian remaining rather solemn during the instructions standing there in silence before he nods finally. "Thank you for your assistance in this Hushed Blaze-Rhya, And helping us to find our way to Typhon." The man's words spoken with respect to the ranking Glass Walker.
"...it's not what you..." Oh just shut up Astraea. Sighing she turns to Brooke, bowing her head. Moving to the circles he then smiles. "Yes....thank you, Hushed Blaze-Rhya. It means a lot." With that she would wait until the mixture is ready. Then allowed, she puts the mixture on her eyelids with one hand while the other take his free one. "....here we go....""
Brooke holds the stinky bowl of this rank concoction out so they both can dip their fingers in and apply it. "Take hands so you can step sideways together." She instructs. As the gauntlet passes over them, the gunk on their eyes becomes warm and tingles as the Pack moves into the Umbra to meet Typhon and embark on their quest. Such things are best left between Pack and Totem....have fun storming the castle!
The large Russian reaches out gathering the stank ass mixture of things that he nor Astraea would ever wish to know the recipe to across his eyelids. His hand taking Astraea's own in his large grasp. When Brooke directs them to step sideways together he nods. When the gauntlet passes over them and they are brought into that world of spirit reflecting the real world in that silvery caste of Luna the Shadow Lord finally opens his eyes.
Within the umbra there are those signs of a storm on the horizon within the spirit world, Darkened clouds gathered as the flicker flash of lighting can be seen casting shadows across the spirit world. The air smelling of rain, the storm and that faint scent of electricity within the spirit world.
Astraea takes a moment, and slowly opens her eyes then exhales. Inhaling deeply she looks around, her nostrils flaring. "I'm going to assume...we're in the right place...." Chuckling she looks over to him. "Shall we?"
The large Russian is quick to shift up into his Crinos form. The Shadow Lord Ahroun breathing deeply of the scents within the spirit world before he is looking over to Astraea telling his beta in Lupus <<Yes, Can smell it on the air. Can't you? Typhon is near.." His eyes drawing to focus on the flicker flashes of light with that promise of the dragon's presence out of sight from the waterfall on that distant shore.
<<Sure do.>> She sniffs again then narrows her eyes at the light. <<We're shifting? Or want me to stay.....?>> With ash she preps that bow in her hands. <<Let's move...I can change on the way if needed.>> Astraea sighs a bit then nods.
The Shadow Lord shakes his head <<Go ahead and stay as you are, We will need to get you a bow you can use in war form..>> The Ahroun setting off quickly along the silvery world's shoreline. Howls-with-the-blood-rains eyes lifting to look to the top of the falls and the flashes of light and cloud cover above.
<<Alright.>> At that she follows after him. <<We'll tackle that if we come back in one piece....>> Luna's Arrow smirks as she nods. Her gaze stays upon the falls, staring intently. <<Hm.>>
Howls leads on moving quickly with Luna's Arrow, The Ahroun glancing over their surroundings as they near the far shoreline and the lower portion of the waterfalls. The sound like thunder beneath while actual thunder echoes from above. Those first tendrils of lightning able to be seen lashing out across the sky above them as he growls lower in Lupus <<Now to find the way up..>>
Those brown eyes looking all over to Howls, smirking. <<Waterfall....>> Luna nods to the water, adjusting her grip on the bow. <<Shall we? But we need to be careful.....>>
The large Ahroun gives a small nod hearing the words from his beta, <<I smell it too.. And yes, keep eyes open for anything that looks off..>> The Crinos Shadow Lord moving to begin approaching the waterfall taking the lead as he moves, his movements showing an alert stance that readiness to attack revealed in the shift of muscles beneath his fur covered form.
<<Of course...>> Luna stays behind him, her hand reaching behind her and slowly draws and arrow. Placing it in position, she waits as she looks around then. Those brown eyes are staying alert, ready and waiting if something jumps out.
As he leads the way into the waterfall the Ahroun feels the waters rushing over him the large form bristling slightly giving a small shake to get rid of some of those droplets before slipping into the darkened cavern beyond. Howls moving through that cavern just barely glowing in the silver light of Luna from the depths of it almost as if beckoning them on. The light itself at the end reflecting off of a pool revealing the spiraling steps worn by water and time leading to the area above. That sound of thunder and the flashes of the lightning above moving down that new passage above.
Stepping through the water, she shakes her head then huffs. Looking around she keeps close but frowns. <<Wait....>> Moving up beside him and even in front of him, that bow is drawn. <<....be careful. Not all of these steps are real, Howls....follow me....>>
The Ahroun and Alpha stops hearing the words, His brow ridge furrowing slightly as he looks from her to the steps above before nodding. <<Lead us up and past this.. And then we shall see to meeting Typhon if he is to bless us..>> The Crinos Garou waiting watching after her a moment before moving to take the same steps she does following her movements up.
<<Alright....>> With that Luna simple keeps her bow drawn as she follows the real steps. Staying quiet, she carefully navigates the illusions and the like while glancing back at him for a moment. Licking her lips she looks back ahead, exhaling deeply as she focuses.
Those steps seem to climb up forever within that world of spirit, though in truth it was only a few hundred feet. In the end they are brought to the land above, that ridge that helped create the falls darkened with cloud cover that was brought to flow over the ground and area. The rush of water able to be heard not far off.
Standing out in that space he could be seen that hazy figure of Typhon, The form of the dragon that breathed the storm seeming to already have his gaze of grey and streaked in white upon the two Garou.
Astraea quickly lowers her bow then, stepping aside for Howls to get better footing. Looking around she stays quiet for now and simply bows her head then...waiting for her Alpha to speak perhaps.
The large Shadow Lord moves to raise up behind Astraea as he gets his footing on that ground above, His eyes lifting to see the large form of Typhon. The dragon's scales seeming to bristle and show little arcs of electricity moving between them as his nostrils flare. Small clouds of smoke drifting from them as the sound of thunder echoes out towards the pair.
Slowly Howls moves forward as his head dips respectfully to the powerful spirit before them, <<Mighty Typhon, Dragon of the storm and Grandfather Thunder. We come seeking your blessing and guidance for our pack Thunders Fury.>>
Luna slowly looks up as Howl's speaks, her brown eyes gazing looking to Typhon. Pursing her lips she bows her head again. She knew now was the time to wait..and be silent. Old habits coming back from her mother's teaching: don't speak unless spoken to. Her Alpha speaks for now.
The words from the Ahroun have the eyes of the spirit narrowing upon the Shadow Lord and Alpha, The large Dragon's wings spreading showing those veins like lightning across the surface. The crack of lightning showing beneath the large spirit in the Umbra before it rushes forward. The Dragon's massive maw parting sending out arcs of lightning to strike the ground and lash through the air near the two Garou seeking his blessing and guidance only to stop short within feet as his tail comes to land against the ground behind almost as if closing the pair in close to his form that seems to become more substantial in that moment in the world of spirits almost looking as if they were to reach out they could touch the totem spirit.
Howls manages to stand fast, His body though does tense showing that concern as the totem draws in so close to them. His chest raising and falling faster as he raises his head briefly looking up to the spirits own before lowering them as he bows his head. "I am rited Howls with the Blood Rain, I have felt your presence since before I knew the change. Cliath Ahroun of the children of Grandfather Thunder. I offer you my rage and what I have of spirit for your blessing and guidance. I offer you my honor and my glory." The Shadow lords words in Lupus growled low as he makes his offering to the spirit after managing to hold his ground with his beta.
She stiffened but kept herself together. Slowly standing up, Luna brings that bow to her chest in a salute. "I am Luna's Arrow. Always have I felt the need to fight and protect those who can't protect themselves. I offer you to you my strength and my ever enduring spirit to fight in your name." Standing firm, she seems to forget that she's soaked to the bone. She must look a mess.
The large dragon towering above them seems to be weighing them, That gaze of judgment falling upon the Shadow Lord and Furie, Moments later his nostrils flare and the maw opens. An arc of electricity flowing through the air to strike against the Crinos Ahroun's chest where his left muscled and fur covered pectoral is found. The hit sending Howls back slightly, the lightning flowing through him to slip back arcing across the tail of the creature only to come to strike Luna's Arrow. The totem spirit marking and joining the pair together through that link of the pack and him as his voice can finally be heard in that roll of the thunder. //This shall work for now.. Fight those who are worthy.. And bring much honor and glory to my name and yourselves. Next we meet, It had better be with a new one to join with and to guide you in spirit..\ With that the large Dragon's wings move flapping sending that buffeted wind across them as he takes to the air. Rain beginning to fall heavy within the spirit world as Typhon takes to the sky leaving the two now marked and linked beneath his guidance.
Well she was quiet..and waiting as the large dragon like Typhon stood there but....it happened. As soon as the lightning struck her back, she let out a loud gasp and fell over. Dropping that bow she pants heavily, her hands digging into the ground before she just stood there. Hearing their new totem talk she exhales a bit then. Once he was gone, she slowly looks to Howls. <<...okay....I'm ready to go home now.>>
Howls winces when he sees her go down, A glance given back as Typhon leaves them standing there on the top of that ridge the river feeding the waterfalls able to be seen flowing just yards from them with the clouds having left with the dragon. The large Ahroun reaching out to help his pack mate as he nods, <<Hushed Blaze-Rhya may still be there waiting for us>>
Brooke waits not far from where they side stepped into the Umbra. She checks the time periodically, hoping to see the young Cliaths return.
Letting out a hiss she slowly takes his hand but grabs her bow quickly. <<I'll be fine....>> Astraea slowly stands up and sighs a bit. <<Let's go.>> With that she leads them back...no need to step on a fake step.
The Ahroun nods, Howls quickly moving after his beta and pack mate noticing the fresh mark upon her back where the lightning had struck before looking down at his chest. A clawed hand lifting to brush it as he grins with that maw splitting into something that looks truly frightening briefly before he relaxes and slips down the stairs following after her. <<Let's get back to Hushed>>
<<Working on it....>> It was almost a growl as she worked her way back down. And of course....once they are back where they started she looked over at him, chuckling. <<....do we have to hold hands again?>> Luna laughs a bit as she holds out her hand.
The Shadow Lord laughs hearing her words as they return to where they started, <<May as well we began this path holding them may as well return holding them. No sense fucking it up now..Unless you want to go back and try having another talk so soon?>> Amusement showing as he takes her hand before beginning to move to slip sideways once more with her after returning to his Glabro and more human appearing form.
<<No I'm good....>> That Fury chuckles as she just side steps with he Shadow Lord. Once they were back, she winces as she clutches that bow to herself. "....shit...."
Brooke sees them reemerge, and her eyes widen. Nonetheless, she steps right over to them, and helps Luna's Arrow. "Just relax. I've got this." She looks to Howls and asks, "Did you find Typhon? Did he accept you?" She gestures for them to get Luna to sit so that she can heal her. "I am going to heal you now. You did well."
Sasha chuckles hearing that as they step back into the real world, The large Russian telling her. "No? Are you sure?" The cuss from her has him wincing as he nods moving to reach for his pack mate grasping her shoulder briefly to give a squeeze of reassurance, "Come on let's get you looked at." His hand lifting away as he motions her towards Brooke moving past the Furie to begin making his way towards the waiting Glass Walker. At Brooke's direction he helps guide and directs Astraea to sit, "We did..and he has. He marked us as his.." The words spoken with that low brewing rage.
Exhaling, she sits down gently. Her clothes soaking wet still, she peels the shoulder of her dress down a bit to let her look at it more. Astraea just sighs then look to Sasha with a chuckle. "I'm fine....promise..." A smirk and she just let's Brooke work. "Thank you. And yes...he did. We bear his mark now..."
Brooke does her thing, as she concentrates, closing her eyes, and performs her healing ability. She opens her eyes and smiles, "There, you should be much better now. Congratulations, to both of you. Children of Typhon. I look forward to joining you again in battle with my pack as well."
Sasha steps back to give Brooke room to work, The Shadow Lord Ahroun watchful of his pack mate a few moments. When she says she is fine his head slowly nods with a subtle dip and lift. "Good.. Now we must find others worthy of his guidance and blessing.. And prove we are his children." The man moments later looking to Hushed giving a respectful dip of his head, "Thank you Hushed Blaze-Rhya, for helping us with this and healing my pack mate. It will be good to fight alongside your pack.."
