|~|The sable male nods, sitting down and sighing heavily.|~| It is a long story...but you must know and I cannot run from the fact that he is dead...|~|He looks at the pup, his amber eyes glowing a dull gold.|~| Long ago...when my father ruled these lands, after my mother had run off, Sadira raised my two brothers, Apocalypse, Kismet and me. Only sometimes could my father offer aide because Sadira was also burdened with the task of caring for him as well. He was growing very ill...it was said that the devil's fire was apon his head in his last months. My sister was always worried, and would cry at night I remembered because no matter how I tried my heart kept me awake in the night and I listened to her crying because after my father's death we would be all alone. He was the alpha of our pack at the time and besides a few rough spots of drought and famine we were one of the strongest in the lands. All you see before you was his lands...only when I came to power did I devide it. And on one cold night, my father died, as the rain pelted the den. And I stood in the mouth of the cave, the water dripping from my muzzle and pinned ears as I watched my sister cry and my two brother's stand solemnly. We were all strong adolesents now...and because Kismet was the oldest...father had left him in charge...then me and the Apocalypse, should something happen to us. For a while, Kis ruled very well. He was still young but powerful, and fair. Of course this didn't sit well with Apocalypse who was angry at father for leaving the pack to Kismet. So...naturally like him, he challenged for it. He lost, but then again, he came forth, stronger than ever and now with a new found rage. His hatred drove my brother down and through all my efforts to stop the fight my brother fell...dead.|~|He looks away slightly and sighs again then continues without looking back at the pup.|~| I was enraged and so when he battled me I through everything I had into the fight and won barely. He was exciled and then a plague took over the lands and all died, except my two siblings. Then one evening a small fox I'd befriended and who was kind of my scout stumbled apon Apocalypse in the woods. He had discovered his powers and so when I got word I was frightened and began searching desperately for my own powers, which, I had. And so did Sadira, my mother, and Amaroq. And you...|~|He looks back at him.|~| It is a hard life that has been given to me...but even through all the pain I refuse to give in and let Apocalypse have the terriotroy, which would be the easy way out. Because Kismet would be betrayed...and I will not let him down...|~|He does not mention to the pup about his encounted with the spirit of his brother through his newfound power.|~|

.x. he listens, steel orbs grieving for Shadow and for Kismet behind built up enigma. thought enravels his mind for a short while after he finishes, his own past was similar, but not so complex.. .x. I will train not only for the lands, but for Kismet.. .x. dark fur ruffles as the fingers of the wind curl around him .x. When will we begin training, master?

We will begin now...have you seen a particular power that you would like to start with? For your loyalty to Kismet, me, and these lands...I will let you choose your first test.|~|He looks at him his head cocked slightly.|~|

.x. dark orbs haze into thought as he thinks of the powers he has seen since entering, none however, sticking in his mind in particular .x. Master, you may choose for me, since you know more of the powers then I do. .x. he falls again to silence, keen orbs watching Shadow, eager to start .x.

Very well then...we'll start with something challenging...my aprentices seem to catch on faster than Apocalypse's because I give them the history of being a justice and of how powers work. You have to concentrate, see it happening in your mind. Soon, you will not even have to think about it really...now, try to make fire.|~|He pushes a log towards the pup.|~| remember, see it, feel it, concentrate on how it should start. Conecentrate on yourself, on yourself kindling the flame, of it burning and crackling. Try...
