Chapter 52: Welcome back

Diablo nodded in agreement, pleased by his nephew's statement.

As the five wolves began to walk through the main grounds of the territory, many wolves began to turn their heads to Diablo, staring in awe, some bowed; some only stared with loving eyes.

Diablo continued to walk, paying no attention to the growing number of wolves beginning to follow him.

The mountain loomed tall above them, casting its shadow over the plains of the Shadow walkers territory, the other side of the mountain, the Light walkers, and all there disgraceful ways.

Diablo walked up the large rock in the middle of the territory, standing at the top with the moon blazing behind him.

"It's good to see you all again my children of the night." Diablo said with a happy grin.

The large, still growing circle of numerous wolves howled with delight, the Reaper had returned!

Settling the wolves with a raised paw, Diablo continued. "I come baring happy news, for I am once again close to successfully reaping multiple souls. Unfortunately, they resist the darkness, just like the dreaded Light walkers."

Wolves throughout the crowd snarled, just the name of their enemies bringing anger into their hearts.

"And so, I'm afraid to say, that I must ask for help in the task at hand. I realize you are already fighting a war and it pains me to ask that you fight two at once, but do not worry, the darkness wild guide us and give us strength."

Some wolves looked disheartened to know they would soon be involved in another war, obviously know where near their territory. Some looked excited, always ready for a new challenge.

Diablo grinned, "Although I cannot stay long, the time in which I do stay will be focused on nothing but celebration!"

Wolves howled in delight, the night was still young. Almost instantly wolves spread out, looking for eager young males or females to "celebrate" with.

Shade smiled, the night air being filled with laughter and howling as the celebration began.

Diablo turned and walked down the slope, dismissing the three wolves that had followed Shade, but motioning for Shade to follow him.

Shade frowned as he followed his uncle, he wanted to be part of the festivities, maybe find a pretty young lady to spend the night with.

Shade followed in silence as Diablo continued towards Shades den, what use to be Diablo's.

The second they entered the quite large den Diablo turned to Shade, startling him slightly.

"Please, inform me on how the war against the other side is doing" He ordered.

"As of now, it is still an equal fight, no territory has been gained or lost, they continue to defend and not attack," Replied Shade rather quickly.

Diablo shook his head, "Does "He" still live?"

Shade grew nervous, "Yes Tempest is still alive, he also still commands the Light walkers from what I heard."

Shade whimperd as he was struck to the ground.

"NEVER SAY MY BROTHERS NAME IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN, DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" Screamed Diablo in blind rage.

Shade nodded his face stinging slightly.

Diablo took a calming breath, "Now, you will stay here and deal with the Light walkers, I will return to Jasper park tomorrow with a small army, if in the slight odds that we don't not succeed, I will simply return and gather more forces."

Shade agreed, cautious to not enrage in Uncle again.

Diablo looked Into space for a minute, talking to himself "Yes, this will work, I will return to Jasper in four days time, Hunter and I will join our forces and slaughter the Eastern and Western dogs…"

"Hunter?" asked Shade curiously.

Diablo snapped his attention back to earth at the sound of his Nephews question. "Yes, Hunter is the pack leader of the Southern pack of Jasper Park."

"My lord, he does not dare command you does he?" Asked Shade, a horrified look on his black furred face.

"He forgets sometimes" Said Diablo in quiet irritation.

Shade shook his head, "He better not 'forget' when I'm around, I will not let the disrespect be taken and I will kill him where he stands."

Diablo laughed, "Please do not attempt it, for you would be the one to die."

Shade grumbled before asking another question, "Do these (Southern wolves of Jasper) follow the darkness?"

Diablo frowned sadly "If they were under my jurisdiction they would be, sadly they are not, therefore do not have the glorious opportunity to serve…"

Shade frowned, "What a shame…"

Diablo smiled as loud giggling came from the celebration outside, making Shade turn his head to the sound, incredible longing etched upon his face.

"I am sorry for hitting you Shade, it's just, when HIS name is mentioned, I just can't help but remember how he murdered your mother…" Said Diablo sadly.

"You need not apologize to me uncle, I understand, one day he will pay." Shade replied, still longing to celebrate.

Diablo grinned, "You may go now Shade, enjoy yourself, and I will come wake you in the morning."

Shades tail wagged in excitement, "Of course Uncle."

As Shade hurriedly turned to the entrance of the den Diablo laughed, surprising Shade with his actual voice, it wasn't the darkness talking, it was his uncle, it was Dami…

Shade stopped the thought from completing in his mind. Any notion to the Reapers previous life would be a death sentence; it was one of the forbidden laws…

"Try not to mate with too many lucky ladies Shade; you are too young to have pups." Said his Uncle and his lost, deep, rich voice, before shaking his head with a frown and beginning again in his new voice, the one that resembled death, this wasn't his uncle, the darkness was back.

Shade blushed deeply at his uncle's wry smile and left the den with a frown, he did miss him sometimes, his uncle before he was chosen.

Shade snarled at himself for making the same close call twice, his old uncle was no more, now he was the Reaper, the chosen one, picked by the Darkness itself; he was no longer what he once was. Now and forever, he was Diablo.

Diablo watched Shade go, angry at himself for showing any emotional weakness, therefore letting his guard down and speaking in his previous voice.

That wouldn't happen again, he didn't want Shade remembering what he had been, only knowing him for what he was now.

Shaking his head slightly, Diablo walked into the night air, attention focused on finding one particular person.

Women smiled suggestively at him as he walked by, resisting the powerful urge Diablo surged onward, until he came by a small den, a good distance away from the others.

"Where are you, you old hag" Said Diablo with a chuckle as a sharp voice replied to him.

"How Dare you! I don't care if you're the Reaper now! The darkness keeps me alive and young so I can save all you clumsy wolves from being killed off so show respect!" Shouted a young female from outside the den before walking out with an angry look on her face.

"Hello Daren, I'm glad to see that you still look like you did when you were an ignorant teen." Said Diablo with a smirk as he stared at the beautiful Black and silver she wolf that stood in front of him.

Daren gasped, "I'm glad to see that You still look like a corrupt, middle aged, homicidal, possessed piece of decaying carcass!" She spat.

Diablo rolled his eyes, "We are the same age, you just got lucky and got to keep your looks."

Daren stuck her tongue at him, "Why are you here? Are you hurt? Or do you just need more terrifying poisons to infect people with?"

"The second one" Said Diablo with a smile.

Daren grumbled unhappily, "Why do you need to poison them? It just makes them suffer."

"It depends what toxin you use" Said Diablo with a chuckle.

Daren sighed, "I don't have many choices at the moment, and I haven't had a chance to stock up due to all these damn injuries from the cursed war."

"What are my choices?" Asked Diablo.

"Well, right now I have two choices, one, the Rosary pea." Replied Daren, running into her den for a few seconds before walking back out carefully holding a bright red and black bundle of peas.

"What does it do?" Asked Diablo.

Daren smiled "It is one of the most toxic plants in the world. It contains a special lectin known as abrin, if it gets in ones bloodstream, or ingested, the abrin will begin to deactivate the ribosome's in one's body, causing vomiting, fever, nausea, drooling and G.I. dysfunction before a painful death."

Diablo huffed "In English please."

Daren sighed, "It kills people Diablo, it makes them suffer for a couple days, before it kills them, and the only cure I know of is in the Light walker's territory. Which is why I still have the accursed plant, there practically immune to it."

Diablo tought about it, "Hm, and the other one?"

Daren groaned in aggravation before walking back into her den and returning with a white flower cradled in her paw.

"This, IS the most toxic plant in the world, it's called Oleander, and it is very rare. The plant contains numerous toxins, including nerioside, oleandroside, saponins, and cardiac glycosides. Once ingested, oleander goes to work simultaneously on the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the digestive tract." Said Daren with a smile.

Diablo sighed "I don't understand you, why don't you repeat that in a language I can comprehend."

Daren sighed again before replying in a retarded voice, purposely trying to irritate Diablo "It's a very bad plant, it kills you very quickly, and there is no cure."

Diablo thought about it, pain, or instant death, "I think I will go with the Rosary peas." He said with a smile.

Daren rolled her green eyes, "You would…" As she walked back into her den and returned with the red and black peas, throwing them onto the ground and stepping on them, making a red mixture of lethal juices.

"Your highness" Said Daren with a sarcastic smile, reaching for Diablos paw.

Diablo smiled, letting Daren soak his sharp claws in the deadly mix.

Diablo grinned, he just needed to get this into their blood stream and they would all suffer a dreadful death.

"Thank you Daren" He said in a polite tone.

Daren smiled, showing her brilliant white teeth, "Your welcome Diablo, may darkness guide you, enjoy your night."

Diablo nodded in gratitude and began to walk away, making a very strong mental note to keep his right paw away from any other part of his body.

"Oh and Diablo!" Yelled Daren as he walked further away from her den.

Diablo turned around with a quizzical stare, soon smiling as he heard her statement.

Daren grinned before walking back into her den, "Welcome back."

All those toxins do exist, I study this stuff, trust me. I also chose plants that grew all around the world so the location of the toxins would be correct. Hope you all enjoyed the chapter, Soilder, I hope this is Ok for your character, (You know what I mean) Enjoy your night everyone. -Bravobravo
