There was a flash of brilliant gold. The elder NightMist warriors retreated to the forest, bowing their heads in respect and submission before completely disappearing into the foliage. The light expanded and swirled into a mane of golden locks, legs and paws extending and muzzle forming in fluid sweeps of light. Glowing white eyes shined from his ancient and wise face, and slowly the omnipotent being of old raised his head and acknowledged the black wolf that was staring deep into his eyes.
"Greetings, Lupus."
His voice was that of an extremely old wolf who had traveled the world and seen all its wonders... which was probably not far from the truth. It was hoarse yet commanding and strong, with a hint of soothing warmth in his voice as well.
Yet Lupus was not satisfied in the least.
"Why don't you just do me a favor and crawl back in the hellhole that you crawled out of?"
GoldenWolf blinked slowly, brushing away the insults as if he were merely swatting an annoying fly. "Still bitter, Lupus?"
"More than bitter," Lupus growled, tone dangerously deep.
Verlust fell backward, Rhain catching her off guard and throwing the white witch into a violent tumble into the fields.
Dear GoldenWolf, WHAT has Rhain been taking!?
She grunted, fighting to kick the other femme off of her form before she herself became vulnerable to attack... which was likely, considering that she was lying flat on her back with most of the wind knocked from her lungs.
"Why the hell do socks even matter?"

Rhain shook herself away from Verlust and snorted at the golden sun shimmering on Lupus' pelt. "LUPUS, IT'S NOT THE GOLDEN WOLF! IT'S ACH-PHLEGM-MED THE TERRORIST, HE'S GONNA KILL YOU!!"
"Nice, Rhain. He's already dead, and I think you need to leave the premesis....both of you," a soft snickering came from a bush, and out emerged a flluid black figure. Death blinked at what would appear to be the goldenwolf, but was not satisfied with his throrough eying inspection of the thing.
"Lupus, I actually agree with Rhain....partially. I don't think that's the GoldenWolf....but consider this: all of the memories you have of him are nearly as dissatisfying as this, yes? Memories, Lupus. That's all this is. Your little servants didn't find crap." Death nodded triumphantly.
Rhain yawned widely, something sane seeming to draw itself back into her being. "That does actually sound plausible...." she murmured.

"But... wait... where did-- huh?"
Ire faded from his golden orbs, replaced with frustration and utter bewilderment. He look from Death to 'GoldenWolf', who simply stared past Lupus, as if not paying attention to him. At this point, Lupus couldn't decide whether he was relieved or angry.
"...then who is this?"
Verlust took a few steps back from the bushes.
...I think that's my cue to leave...

Death shrugged, momentarily stumped. "I dunno. I dare you to go up there and touch it, whatever it is. I'll bet you it's just mist or somethin..."
"Mist?" Rhain murmured, seemingly awed by the word. "If it really is mist, that's quite something. Imagination, memories, you called it, Death? Then I guess we can link mist to our own imageries and concotions?"
Death eyed Rhain warily. "Rhain, really, what's the big deal? Go down in the packlands for a while and you'll see that mist is pretty much everywhere. Lupus, really, I think she's losing it this time--"
"No...Lupus, come on. Think back a little bit. A lot, actually. Like Night Mist era.....mist, there was something about mist! I've badgered my parents about it so many times, but nobody remembers except for that it was something really important!" Rhain was now pacing furiously, slightly sobered by the turn of conversation, but now a bit furstrated.

Lupus was blinking slowly, turning to leave the GoldenWolf at his back and resting his gaze on his wife. Anger and confusion subsided, concern having taken its place. Concern and another emotion yet to be identified.
Taking a step toward Rhain, he uttered softly, "GoldenWolf modified each of the pack names to have a 'Mist' surname.... but that's all, okay? But... are you alright, Rhain? You seem a little off..."

Rhain looked at Lupus, the crazed laughter that had been her hysterical stunt with Verlust seemed completely drained from her, as if the actions belonged entirely to a different wolf.
"No, I am dead serious. There are other wolves who can help me, then -- and I intend to find them. Mira seems to have kept her wits, though I doubt she would know much about what happened or what's happening to that valley....there are wolves who can help. And I will find them." She turned and padded out calmly, but with a determined stature.
Death gazed after her, a bit on edge now. "Something's up. I don't think Rhain was kidding now, either --- something's stirring...."

Lupus came forward to stand beside his son, staring after Rhain as she walked away. "You think Rhain is on to something, then? What, though?" Without waiting for an answer, he asked, "Should we follow her?"

Death shook his head. "She'll probably wake up and forget about it or something. If it happened in the valley and you forgot about it too, then everyone must forget about it sooner or later. Its like a protective sheild or something, a countercharm to wolven intelligence. Something that's not meant to be found out again, released, whatever. Honestly, I think we should just deal with one apocalypse at a time: what the hell happened to the fiery gates of my domain?" He grunted, apparently disgruntled. "Did you let the dogs out?"

Lupus blinked. "You think I let all those maniacs out into the wild? No, thank you-- I rather not watch them rip innocent brains out... not my style anymore." He glanced up, growling a little at his next thought but managing to maintain his temper long enough to voice his idea. "You ask Verlust? Sounds like her department, in my opinion..."

"Psht. Verlust? I don't ask her anything. I have a bunch of worms crawl through her ears and fish through that messed brain for me, then come back and report. You should know that the levels of toxins in there are ridiculously high -- hell, if I did any of the phising information from her by myself, I would probably be posioned within minutes. Definitly not a good place to be a wolf," he rolled his eyes, side-stepping the question.
"Well, anyway, what are you doing for Halloween, Lupe-ster? I hear Rhain is ditching everyone and going to see Saw V...?"

"Halloween...?"He paused. "...OH CRAP THAT'S TOMORROW!"Slapping his forehead, he cursed under his breath and lifted his head. "Didn't put up decorations or nothin'...." Uttering a sigh, he mumbled, "I guess I'll have to use my old costume from last year... my Halloween outfit." (  ) Trailing off now, Death's words suddenly took impact. "...Saw V, you say? Maybe I should buy her tickets?"

Death eyed Lupus oddly. "Er....I think you misunderstood. She already has tickets, I believe. Not sure who she's inviting, though. She muttered something about how you can get big bucks on eBay --- maybe that's what Verlust told her. Then again, some guy started with a paperclip, traded over and over again with people on eBay, and he ended up with a house!" Death snickered.
"I was gonna have a party, though -- the single life is good and all, but it's best when you're out and around others! My paws need some dancing -- bad!" He licked a paw thoughtfully.

That was enough to tug Lupus' jowls into a large grin. "A night of partying and dancing? Now there's an idea! I can almost picture it..." He chuckled to himself.
"Well, excluding Rhain-- wherever she's going-- who are you inviting to this party, then?"
While waiting for an answer, he made a mental note to himself to check out Ebay later.

"FROZENHEART!!" He jumped and did a neat little backflip, a giddy, dreamy look in his eyes for a moment. The crickets abruptly stopped chirping and paused to look at Death's open-mouthed drooling. In the said crickets' minds, a single thought ran unanimously:
What the fuck?
"Erm...well, of course, Frozenheart's invited...."
She's sooo pretty!!
"....um...you...everyone else in this place...minus Verlust 'cause she really doesn't belong here and she'll probably be too busy trying to find a way to join her buddied downstairs, if ya get my drift."
Dang....I hope he didn't notice anything weird...

Lupus blinked, not noticing anything weird... for a few seconds.
"...hmm? Frozenheart? Oh, yes-- I remember her!"
He tossed a sideways glance in Death's direction, and cleared his throat.
I'm no Dr. Phil... but even a braindead monkey could tell that he's interested in her!
"...she a good friend of yours or something?"
