Competition!

First topic message reminder :

Here's just a friendly competition between packs where three wolves from each pack are chosen to fight individually. See which pack wins!

Packs included are - Northern Pack, Southern Pack and Phantom Pack

So, three wolves, each from different pack, will go against each other. Alliance is allowed.

Phantom shuddered. There were wolves everywhere, all carrying scents from different packs. Oh well, its just a competition right? He thought and grinned evilly. Phantom Pack will win anyway. Why not have some fun?

He gathered the rest of the Phantom Wolves and growled. "Who's going first? If no one goes, I'll be going."

"Umm, coming," Silentshadow called back and hopped over Sock to get over to Silverstorm. "I wish you didn't all have to provoke Chrome like that though. Phantom wolves are tricky. But you fought well. If you were in omega, I would promote you, but you're hunter already, so..." She sniffed Silverstorm's wounds and dropped the leaf wrap she'd been carrying and pawed out a mushy yellow and green paste. Wrinkling her nose, Silentshadow handed Silverstorm the stuff. "It's supposed to help you. Want some Sock?"

"Thanks," Silverstorm said, spreading the strong-smelling paste over her wounds. Immediately she could feel the cool healing effects of the paste. "You're definitely right about Phantom wolves being tricky!"

Silentshadow snorted. "For all we know, they do nothing but train all day! Who's going next? Besides Phantom? Maybe Argenta ought to go next... Unless someone else volunteers." She stirred uneasily and sighed.

"Or one of the guardians," Silverstorm suggested. "They probably fight better than me; after all, they ARE trained to protect us." She turned away and continued applying the poultice, tryng to ignore the strong smell.

~YOU never said she was tired. ~

"They train to kill! How is that fair?" Gracesong snapped, then started to help her Omega with the poultice. "If I was Alpha, I wouldn't have had these horrid games. But, I would have made you the Beta," Gracesong said gently to Sock.

~But none of the other people said, "Oh I'm do tired!" either. -.-" Can you stop picking on Chrome already?~

Silentshadow rolled her eyes at Gracesong. "Well there's nothing we can do about, can we?" she snapped.

"Make them not kill!" Gracesong growled at the bigger wolf.

Silverstorm finished applying the paste and stood up stiffly to watch whoever was going next.

Silentshadow rolled her eyes and remarked sarcastically, "Well look, there's Phantom. Want to try now? I'll just stay here and watch." She sighed and turned away. "We can't force them."

"So you're scared of them? Some Alpha." Gracesong smirked.

Silverstorm growled at Gracesong. "NO ONE speaks to my leader that way!!!"

Sock stared blankly up at the wolves. "Please stop fighting.. It's futile.."

Silverstorm sat down again wearily and waited for the next competition to start.

Silentshadow ignored Gracesong. "Huh. Obviously she would never make a good leader," she muttered to Silverstorm. "She doesn't realize that everything doesn't need to be solved by fighting."

~ WOW, she does NOT live up to her name XD ~

"Some things do need to be fought, not just talked about," Gracesong said irritatingly calm, her royal blue eyes resting on Silentshadow.

"Not all," Silentshadow answered. "Phantom wolves have always trained to kill, to maim and break their opponents in the most efficient way possible. To try to make them not to would be like trying to make wolves not kill deer and rabbits to eat. And I'm not even including all out war," she added with a wry smile. "I'm not afraid of war, but I know from experience that there are consequences." Silentshadow hesitated, and continued, "You are not Alpha... it is not the same. When you are Alpha and issue war or even a battle, if there are any deaths, then it will be your fault. If you lose, you will be blamed for your bad judgement. Your Pack will lose your faith in you, and an uncooperative Pack has already signed its death contract."

"How do you know so much about Phantom Pack?" Gracesong growled suspiciously. "I'm sure Saber would love to hear about this."

"It's their nature," Silentshadow snapped. "Can't you see them fight? It's obvious that they train that way. You said so yourself: 'They train to kill!' And besides, my adopted pup, Chrome joined Phantom pack and I can infer from her personality to the rest of the pack's."

Phantom suddenly appeared next to Silentshadow, his eyes dark and hollow. Something flickered behind his cold gaze.

"Phantom Pack does not kill without reason. We are not rogues. We are wolves." His voice was dangerously soft.

Ice eyed the Phantom Pack leader with silent contempt. He was definitely up to something but it was not her position to give her opinion.

Sock glared up at Phantom. "Phantom..." she breathed. She narrowed her eyes and let out a weak, hoarse growl.

Silentshadow eyed Phantom coolly. "Glad to know. Are you going to start the next one or not?"

Silverstorm growled."Yes, are we continuing this competition or not?"

Phantom said nothing but merely flicked his tail.

"I'm in. I'll be waiting..." his voice could still be heard when he disappeared into the bushes.

"'Then why did Chrome, a Phantom Pack wolf, go for the kill?" Saber growled, his voice echoing.

"So who's going for Northern?" Silverstorm asked.
