Silverhowl
Chapter 2- The Viperwolves
Two days later at night, the Koopalings were in the living room once again, waiting for the Koopa Troopas to bring their pets. Bowser and Kamek came in
"Alright, children, the pets are here, so try to look good." Bowser announced
"What kind of animals are they?" Bowser Jr. asked his father excited
"Viperwolves" Kamek answered
"Viperwolves?" Iggy asked
"Yeah, Silverhowl Viperwolves"
"What's that?" Morton asked confused
"Viperwolves are quadruped mammals from the family Viperidae Canis and look much like wolves except for their faces, which look more reptilian. They are predatory animals with a strong prey drive and tend to be very prideful." Iggy explained
"so? Bring them already!" Wendy exclaimed impatient.
"bring them in!" Bowser ordered
Soon, some Koopa Troopas came into the living room with ten weird-looking creatures, which were obviously Viperwolves. They had thick leather collars and were being held by dog leashes. They were howling, barking, biting each other or yawning.
The first one was completely jet black, with red eyes and pointy ears, and was the biggest of the group. His fur was soft, and his long bushy tail moved in a constant way. When he yawned, his sharp white fangs were showed and would have been enough to scare off a cat.
The second was from an orange, and was slightly smaller than the black Viperwolf. His black markings ran down his neck, back and ended in his tail, which was not as bushy as the tails of the rest. his eyes were, oddly, connected to his ears and these were black in their tips. His yellow eyes intimidated Larry, who hid behind Iggy.
The third one was a juvenile Viperwolf, and it had clearly various tones of blue in his fur. Dark navy blue patterns ran down his head to his tail, his face and underbelly were a lighter tone of blue and the rest was a sky blue. His reptilian eyes were green, his ears were always peered down and his tail was quite short.
The fourth juvenile was completely light yellow, except for darker tones running down his forehead, neck and ended in his tail. A dark yellow stripe ran down his mouth to the jaw, his tail was less bushy and his eyes were purple, his ears were pointy.
The fifth juvenile was scarier than the rest of the Viperwolves, as two large fangs came out of his mouth and gave him the appearance of a boar. His fur was a dark red with a lighter tone around his eyes, his underbelly and the tip of his tail, and also the fingers of his strong paws. He had spines arching down his back.
The sixth juvenile had purple fur. His underbelly, jaw and undertail were white. He had a dark deep purple fur line starting from his eyes down to his back leg. A light lilac was in his shoulders, the tip of his tail and on his rib. The front parts of his legs were deep dark purple, his ears were pointy, his eyes orange and his tail was bushy.
The seventh was clearly a female, as she had deep pink fur with a lighter tone in her chest, blue eyes, a bushy tail and pointed ears. Her body was more curved than the others'.
The eighth juvenile had lime green fur, a dark green in his face, a line running down his back, in the tips o his peered up ears and the tip of his tail. His underbelly was white, his fingers were dark green and his eyes were yellow, his tail was curled up, unlike the others' tails that hanged down.
The ninth was a pup, a bit smaller than the others. His fur was silver, with white underbelly, face and undertail. Dark grey lines ran in his waist to his white mark, half his tail was dark grey and his pointy ears were of a even darker gray which contrasted with his dark brown eyes. When he yawned, everyone noted he had more fangs than the rest, which meant he must have stronger jaws.
The tenth and final Viperwolf was also a pup, but this pup was much smaller than the rest. he was black, but he had white markings. His ears, underbelly, the half of his tail, his front paws were white. His back legs where half white, and the markings down were black. He surely was the youngest as well.
The Koopalings couldn't help but smile slightly at the newcomers. Bowser looked at the Viperwolves and then at his children.
"Each one of you, choose one". He told them
"I want the blue one" Ludwig was the first one to talk
"I want the yellow one" Lemmy exclaimed
"The red one" Roy said
"ARGH! I wanted that one!" Morton exclaimed disappointed
"I like the purple one" Iggy said calmly
"Obviously, I want the pink female" Wendy followed
"Oh, damn… I suppose I choose the green one" Morton sighed
As they chose their respective Viperwolves, the Koopa servants handed one by one the lash to the Koopalings. Larry looked first at the black one and then at the silver one.
"…I want the silver Viperwolf" he whispered
The koopa servant handed him the lash, all eyes were on Junior now.
"Can I have the black and white Viperwolf?" was everything he asked
"It's your decision" Kamek answered
Jr shrugged and took the lash from the koopa troopa.
"Well, I suppose I will keep the black one" Bowser said as he stared at the black Viperwolf. Kamek just nodded and left, being followed by the orange Viperwolf. Bowser soon left also, taking the black Viperwolf with him. The Koopalings looked at their Viperwolves.
"And how will we call them?" Lemmy asked his siblings
"I don't know you, but I will call mine Sheryl" Wendy said
"Mine will be called Jule" Morton then said
"Why Jule?" Ludwig asked him
"because my birthday is in Jule and sometimes you forget about it so I called him Jule because maybe that will help you remember my birthday-" Morton talked, but surprisingly, Jule hit him with his tail
"Aw, man. I wanted to hit him" Roy chuckled "anyway, my Viperwolf will be Fox"
"I will call mine Shawn" Iggy said
"I will call this blue Viperwolf… Corey" Ludwig whispered
"I like Willy… that's how I will call mine" Lemmy sat patting Willy's head.
Everyone noticed the silver Viperwolf was missing, and then they noticed he was biting a cushion. Larry giggled and got closer to his Viperwolf, then he caressed his head.
"He apparently loves biting things… so his name shall be Bites" he whispered
"Bites?"
"Yep"
Everyone looked at Junior.
"I don't know how I will call him yet…"
"Don't worry, you have got all night"
"We should go to sleep" Iggy suggested
Everyone nodded and went to their respective rooms, their Viperwolves following their respective new masters. When the Koopalings rested in their beds, the Viperwolves jumped on them and curled up in the nearest pillow. Then they drifted off into sleep
