His lip curled up and showed his overly sharp elongated teeth. "I and my daemon both agree upon one thing for once: You will not harm Sky. I need not think to consider it. Sky has been the only one to befriend me since the day I received my daemon. Not a single soul but her has even spoken to me. I will defend her with my life. You can't stop me."

Her icy blue eyes stared backl at him. It was impossible to tell what she was feeling. Confushion? Anger? Pity? Rage? She snorted, if you have befriened the abomination, that makes you one too!" She suddenly cried and it was now clear from the way her eyes had norrow and the ager in her voice that it wasnt anything near pity or confusuin that she was feeling.

He simply fanned his wings in threat and dropped into a low fighting stance. "Then show me what you can do, hakanesh!" He spat the final word of his sentence. It was a deep insult in the language of daemons and only a Howlinka would know just how much it could wound the pride. "You shall not best me."

She let out a shocked growl at the insult and the hair aloung her back stud up, making the ragged spikes aloung it stick up even more too. "How dare you! I am princess Merkblood! So one is allowed to insult me, even another Howlinka!"

A lump formed in his throat. Now he had done it! Princess Merkblood the one and only. She was the absolute ruling, nobody stood against her but he had. He inclined his head with a sort of grudging attitude. "I apologize for my impertinence."

A look of triamph crossed her face. "I may..." she replied in a silky sweet voice, "be able to forgive you for...your little mistake..." She seemed to be considering something, prehaps what he must do before he was forgiven.
Sky stood a little way away, absalutly petrified by now. If she was so importent, wouldent he obay Merkblood and kill her?

He kept his eyes closed and his head bowed. "You are most generous, Princess Merkblood." The princess wasn't technically a being of power in literal terms. She was no different than any other Howlinka, however she was the most well known. Even Howlinka had to have order and their hierarchy went by the strength and importance of their daemons. Merkblood had been lucky enough to have a noble rank bond with her thus she was treated with the utmost respect. Her judgment was the difference between life and death.

She seemed calmer now and asked him "Did you help her steal a Howlinka spirit? She must have had help from some Howlinka, though they usually end up dieing in the proccess." She thought about something and a loom of realisasiton seemed to dawn on her. "Of course, you dont even know what im talking about, do you? Let me explain." She seemed to have gone from angry to chatty in such a short time. "Sometimes, for reasons unkown to teh rest of us, a Howlinka will decide to turn a normal wolf, or sometimes another creature into a Howlinka so that they can be together forever. I think it must be love, but who could ever fall in love if a normal wolf, or worse a creature like a human? Well, as I was saying, they decide to try and make them Howlinka. So they track down a Howlinka loner and fight wityh them. Often they loose but if they win and kill the other, as you know the Holwinka spirite escapes and goes in search of a new body. They use sorcery to trap the spirit in the one they have chossen. This is likely to kill one or both of them as it makes the spirite very very angry. Often only a small amount of the spirite ends up getting trapped, cousiong the creature to become a halfbred monster, likely to srtick out and kill all around them.
So either you are pretending tonot know about it and did it yourself or you are in great danger!" She finished.

He blinked, confusion clouding his eyes and overtaking his facial expression. "I didn't help her steal a spirit. I didn't even know it was possible!" His body changed back to being his regular self, though the daemon still had its influence in his voice and body same as usual. "My daemon has told me that Sky has Howlinka in her bloodline. Perhaps she had a daemon of her own that simply had not bonded to her?"

"Howlinka in her bloodline? As in, part Howlinka, part wolf?" She asked. She turned and studied Sky intently, as though by doing this she could see how much of her blood was Howlinka. Sky squirmed uncomfortubly under her icy blue gaze.
Just then, the wolves who had slunk into the background decided to attack, throwing themsleves at the weakest looking Howlinka, which wasnt Sky anymore...

Feeling teeth clamp down on his neck, Hokuze fell to the ground. He writhed but he had no time to change back to his Howlinka form and it took up a lot of his energy anyway. The daemon in his mind snarled, getting annoyed at the wolf for being so stupid. The pack wasn't going to back off now! "Help!" He cried, feeling his skin being torn by rows of teeth when they raked through his fur.

Sky lept farward, past Princes Merblood and letting out an eagles shriek, she attacked the wolves. Feathers and fur flew as she lashed out with her newly elongated claws and snapped at them with teath longer and stronger then ever before.
It was hard though, Hokuze was barely visable under the wolves attacking him. And though she was far stronger then any of the wolves, there where so many...
Suddenly there seemed to be less attacking and she turned to see Princess Merblood witha wolfs lifelss body clamped in her jaws, another rithing on the ground in front of her from her claw atatck and several badly injered by the spikes on her tail.

Hokuze laid still, eyes closing. Less and less pain was starting to register in his mind. Howlinka were powerful but not without their flaws. He could see movement all around and he couldn't help but smile slightly. Merkblood and Sky... both were helping him. That's all he could ask for. He could feel the strength leaving his own body and his heart fluttering. The daemon in his mind let out a loud roar, forcing the sound to come out of Hokuze's muzzle. His claws raked the ground as the daemon forced the Howlinka to stand, being the ultimate motivator from within the wolf's mind. Move it. I don't want to die. the daemon growled.

The amount of wolves quickly lessed after Merkblood joined in the fight. So was so strong and quick, it was obvious to see why she was so respected just from her fighting. After just a few minutes most of the wolves where dead, lieing on the floor moaning in pain or far away, running for their lives. Sky and Merkblood stared at each other, heads down and sides heaving. Then sky remembered Hokuze and turned round to see him stabding, but only just.

His eyes met theirs and he offered a smile as thanks. His legs were stiff as he kept the joints locked out so he couldn't fall again. His gaze was still clouded and his body was torn up but he was standing. Did that not count for anything? "Thank you both," he said at last. Hokuze's voice was hoarse but the usual guttural sort of accent behind it from his Daemon was still there at least. He'd survived.
