A signifigant Sigma?! That was all his coming of age could give him? His anger boiled in him, though he could only assume that his ranking was given because Delta and Beta were taken. One by a traitor who wed his grandfathers lapdog, and the other by his own parents. He knew all to well that keeping his mother as Beta was just a ploy, she'd never be crowned if the King and Queen died. Surely it would be one of their own children, and that left him to feel anger in his mother - and in himself. Why had he been born to a bastard? Why was she not cast out with her horrid mother?
As he dwelt on the thoughts, he began pacing the borders as to if he should just leave or try and do something. Perhaps Belladonna would know. He wanted something better for his life, something to possibly bring her in too. After all, they were mated. A voice called to him from just beyond. ”Hey.” His head cocked to the side as the stranger sat down, a single horned male. He moved toward him as he was beckoned. ”You want power, or more so, to be respected by your grandfather, right? I may be able to help you. Now, it may sound quite absurd at first, just bear with me.” Mal grew closer, his interests peaking at this strange man. "Go on." He spoke, not wanting to wait around.
”What if…you challenged your father for your mother? You would get the Beta ranking if you won, yes?” His eyes widened a bit at the thought. This stranger was quite intuitive. ”I’m Shuu – I particularly took interest in your mother, Skadi, when I saw her going to the war that seems forever ago now. I want her as much as you want the respect, but I don’t wish for the ranking, nor pack affiliation. When you would achieve the Beta role, you could kick your mother out of the lands – surely you would not want her getting in the way of respect from your grandfather, right?” He wanted his mother, so that's where he came in. A grin formed on his face, if he could be rid of both his mother and father, he could bring home Belladonna with a great and honorary ranking. Something he'd hoped she wouldn't refuse.
He watched as the white male brought his paw forward to him, before his eyes looked to meet those mismatched orbs of mystery. ”This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, my good man. Do we have a deal?” The blue boy stuck his paw out, touching it to Shuu's. "So long as you take my mother away from Tarben, we have a deal." He said, confidence radiating. He was beginning to believe he could defeat his father in combat, he didn't need to kill him. Frankly, he didn't want to either. He just wanted that ranking, that acknowledgment. It only helped that he knew his mother was wanting of something more than his father. His body turned, moving toward Tarben swiftly as he came to the meeting area. His eyes narrowed as he called forth his father. "Pontchartrain, I challenge you for the title of Beta and for Skadi's claim." His call rung out, and he'd see soon just what he was up against.
Walk, "Talk", Think.
"Play back these moments in our dreams!"
