Runewolf: Part 2
The ground shook with a bang and a hiss as the vehicle flipped across the desert. The rolling seemed to last hours to Kale, draining him of his thought. The roll came to a halt and Kale, reassembled. His eyes laid upon Kira and her on his. He was on top of her. "Get off!" yelled Kira as she pushed the beast off. "Well, I'm sorry that the car rolled and I went along with physics" Kira looked red, but not of embarrassment, of rage. "Listen, you keep your hands off all right!" Screeched Kira, stopping Kales breath and mind in its tracks. "OK, OK, I'm sorry" respectively pleaded Kale. Kira laid a sigh of disgust. Just then, Kale saw something, Kira had no earing on her left ear, odd as he remembered the race to endorse the practice. She stood up and turned around, looking at the destruction the roll made. Kale saw what explained the predicament; the ring went around the right ear.
"Well, we might want to get out, if we could find a door" complained Kira, brushing away all the things that crashed. "u-um yeah" timidly responded Kale as he stood. "Well, we might be able to go outside if I ope-" said Kira as a screech interrupted her train of thought. Kale saw two prongs sticking into the buss, blades fit for kings cutting the screen. They slid down slowly with greatest of ease, the cut nearly split the buss in two as the two beings watched in pure apprehension. The blades stopped with the two speechless and struck, there mode of transport was crushed. The blades turned and slowly pulled apart to make an entryway. A shadowy figure marched into the buss and turned towards Kale. What ambushed the buss, what was inside the crashed vehicle, was a Runewolf
Two young Runewolf were lying on the grass, enjoying their youth. They looked similar, one older than the other. One of the characters was a young Kale. "Hey Kale?" asked a voice, loud and clear "yeah?" Responded a young Kale, about 10 years of age. "What do you think the world is like out there?" asked the voice "I-I don't know Rawlins, probably worse than here" responded Kale "no, no, what I mean is, don't you want to see what's out there for us, the adventure, the land, ripe for the taking" said Rawlins. "I guess you're right Raw, I mean we don't even know what's out there" responded Kale.
The two were standing strait in battle armor, with others of their clan beside them. "Now, This is the list of all who made it and those who didn't," called out a drill Sargent "This does not make you a better warrior, just those who fit the job, understood?" "Yes sir!" yelled the shoulders. "now, let's get started..." a few hours of calling names pass when the Sargent yelled "Rawlins Darkrune..... That is all" Kale's name wasn't struck, his face was pale, while still containing his composure.
Kale was in a room with several weapons and a forge, hot and musky, the air was thin. A click on the door ran through the room. What crept open was Rawlins, tall and masculine. "Hello brother, it's been a long time since we've last met, hasn't it?" asked Kale politely. Rawlins stood there quietly for a long time and nodded his head. "Yes, it has" whispered Rawlins. "is something troubling you?" asked Kale. Rawlins grunted loudly and turned. "I have been told to warn you of your acts of treason, I cannot put it more simply, but you need to stop" stated Rawlins with a sad look on his face. "Treason? Treason? What do you mean brother, I do what's best for the clan, the world needs to know" complained Kale with a stern voice. "Best for your people, what's best is let undone, your act is over!" yelled Rawlins as he stepped over kale and snarled.
Rawlins was over Kale and his runes glowed with a red tone. "Do not taunt me brother, be both know who will win" teased Kale. Rawlins roared and his runes became brighter and blinded Kale. "I think not of what you have spoken, but of my own, your words are meaningless!" yelled Rawlins. Rawlins slashed Kale across the face, bringing him to the ground. "This, this is your final warning"
Kale stood in the cabin of the buss and leered at the wolf inside. "What do you want, dearest brother?" sarcastically taunted Kale as he flung himself into a battle stance. Rawlins laughed madly, you could not see his face as his hair covered most all of it. "Let's step outside, shall we?" spoke Rawlins with a tone that seemed to shatter souls. His breath was faint and his posture slouched, the tall Runewolf made an ominous presence over the two. Kale slowly walked out of the buss and made an exit out of the cut Rawlins made. The sun was absent and the sand was warm, night was young and air was still warm. "Shall I start by asking where you have it?" asked Rawlins.
"I still don't understand you make no sense to me" stroke Kale "Oh, how naive of me, your memory was erased.... it would be better if I just killed you and sucked the memory from your skull!" Rawlins leapt across the sands, charging for the unsuspecting Kale. The wind dep't his hair past his face and his face was revealed. Scared by overuse of Runeforging on his fur, the giant was crazed with one eye crimson and the other a deathly green. His black battle robes flew into Kale's stomach with a punch that broke bones. Kale flew what seemed like 100 meters from the impact, holding his gut for the whole of the fight. He landed with his hand on his stomach, and to his surprise, on his feet. He slowly removed the hand, revealing what seemed to be a broken shield of energy.
Kale grunted and stood tall with his fists clenched and his runes red with energy. "I remember what you did" cried Kale at Rawlins "Oh, so you do, all those lives, for the king I say!" mocked Rawlins. "I-I........ You used to be such a good person Raw, why did you have to do that!" Kale yelled, holding his fists hard. "OH, little brother, everyone knew you were the runt of the litter" exclaimed Rawlins "Don't worry, big brother Rawlins will make it feel all better... I know Blaz won't like this" whispered Rawlins as he swept past Kale with a knife, drawing it over his fur, not bringing it to skin.
Rawlins ran past the hills and disappeared past the sun. Kale barely noticed the cut to his fur as he was put under a paralysis spell before he could do anything. He was released and walked off, looking for Rawlins. "Hey, um, Kale, who the hell was that?" asked Kira as she ran to Kale who was staring out for Rawlins. " 'Ya know we should get back to the buss, knowing my brother, he would have fixed it by now" said the puzzled reptile. Kale let out a sigh and a tear and left to the buss. "You said something about a brother?" asked Kale while they walked. "Um... yeah, all Sunmaw come out in twins, didn't you know that?" said Kira. Kale pointed to his head, signaling that he's clearly lost his mind. "Yeah....."
They returned to the buss, upright and looking as if it was never hit. "Um....." sighed Kale. "It's a Sunmaw thing, we fix things pretty easy, and are used to being ambushed and attacked like that." Kira Explained with a sneer remark. "Well...." Kira paused for a while, as it seemed that the buss had no doors. "Kiba, come on, open up" a silence swept across for a while when a click broke the silence. What seemed to be a wall, folded outwards from the buss. What revealed was a short figure, no more than 4 foot 5. With a high step this figure pulled off a high knee and a slack back. He wore a hat that blocked the sun and more. Wearing goggles that let no light pass he lifted up his face with a grin that would slap any man's pride.
"Hello there; you are Kale an' you are Kira, but me, I am Kiba!" threw the short lizard while smiling at the "crowd". "Ok Kiba, let's get going" slapped Kira with such annoyance in her voice. Kiba walked to the front of the cabin as it stroke Kale, he two had only one earing on his right ear, just like his sister. "Well Kale, shall we commence?" asked Kira as she led him to the cabin. The two walked to the cabin with a table and two cups of what looked like coffee. "Let's sit and talk Kale, we have unanswered Questions" said Kira as they sat.
They took a sip of their drinks as they looked at each other with a reeling look. "let's not be so horrific, what's on your mind, you've been part of a culture for several years that was said to not exist and you have no questions on what's going on outside?" broke Kira. "Well, I don't like to nose around in your biasness, but uh, why are you and your brother both gay?" exclaimed Kale as if questioning the two. Kira looked at Kale with a plain face. A dead silence was among them when she started to crack into laughter. She started to calm down as she shook her head. "You have obviously been misled. Ya know what you said could insult allot of us folks. The truth is that we have a breeding season that is activated by a release of hormones that make us "strait" you could say that we are gay but only most of the time" released Kira with a snicker here and there. "And also, why do you and your brother look so...err, different?" asked Kale "it's a long explanation, what, you want a lesson on Sunmaw biology" asked Kira as she looked at Kale with an annoyed face. She was responded with a stern look at Kale's face.
"Well, maybe we could do this later?" asked Kale "I feel kind of weak" Kira's words lost a grip on Kale. He slipped out of his chair and his vision glared.
