A long walk

[Arria]

Arria was so tired... she had not been planning to fight today, or else she might has cut back, just slightly, in her normal use of power, to better fill her reserves. Now she wished only to go to sleep at Wavern Ledge, that wonderful place that was so close to the ocean, and always made her feel stronger. She knew that was where Trigo was taking her, it was both of their havens in truth, the rocky shoreline with its deeply rooted cliffs were very much welcome to the god of Earth.

However, their journey was cut short as they entered Adair. For all that they were underground, for all that that Arria was tired, both of them could sense that Dargan was nearby, that he was in Adair. She glanced at her mate with wide, frantic eyes, and without missing a beat the god had sent them shooting off towards where they knew Dargan was. Their already swift progress beneath the surface seemed to double, and it was the work of perhaps a minute before the pair emerged from the ground, scant yards from the fire god, and... an Adair wolf? What was this?

"So this was... where you went!" snarled Arria, managing to speak far more fluently than normal in her anger. No wonder he had been so quick to flee, he must have been taking advantage of their absence. She scarcely noticed that he was dripping wet, or, in fact how his weakness was affecting the world. She was too wrapped up in her anger, how DARE he attack her charges, the wolves she cared so deeply for. The one who was with him now, what was he planning to do with it? For this was most definitely an Adair wolf. They must have come just in time to save him from a grizzly fate.

Jey had been hoping that Dargan was running, jogging, walking, or limping somewhere behind him. He wasn't really mad at Dargan, nor did he want to be, he had just been shocked at the god being nicer than he had been told. That phrase the god had mumbled still hung in his mind. You know that sometimes you have to be what others want you to be, no matter how terrible the thing is. Who would make him be terrible. Just because fire is fierce doesn't mean he must be too. The sun is not fierce, nor is the warmth from the sun. As thoughts ran through his head, he began to feel, sorry, for the wolf.

Giving a sigh he turned around and walk towards Dargan, or where he should be. He had aimed to help the wolf so they would reach it quicker. It kept getting colder and colder. The sun still stood slowly dying in the sky. Its cold blue rays were beginning to grow grey as if they were getting older and weaker by the minute.

To Jey's surprise a pair of wolves rose from the ground. He immediately recognized the two wolves, Arria and Trigo. He sighed. The folly of the gods. Their appearance worsened the situation. If they began to fight it might kill the fire of Dargan, the wolves would be frozen in an everlasting wasteland. He certainly would get a punishment himself for helping Dargan.

[Dargan]

Dargan slowly emerged from the ground and saw the eyes of Arria and Trigo. My luck is just getting better and better. Dargan gave Arria a hateful smile that came out more as a grimace, because of the pain. He did not both to try and attack Trigo or to even spit in his direction. What was the point after all of fight him? Trigo the wolf could not even protect his own mate. If it was not for Arria, Trigo might have died in the fire, or at least been injured.What kind of male hides behind his mate? The fire god shot Trigo a hateful look before looking at Arria.

Honestly child, what damage have I done to your pack? I even have an escort to take me to my volcano. I have not so much as nipped at this wolf called Jey. Dargan slowly walked in-front of Jey to keep him from the water and earth god. He at least had to protect his escort, right? Ash marked were Dargan's paw steps were, as the water keep his life force away from him. His eyes glared at Arria, daring her to try something.

Dargan knew if a fight broke out, he would lose. Two on one was nothing something he could handle in his current state. His eyes eyed the two with mistrust centuries old. Seina, what has become of you? Even if Dargan was to be sent back to his spirit form, he could not help but to worry for his mate. He had no idea if she was okay and were she was. Dargan never could cry or drink water, but he knew he would find away to cry over Seina. Seina, the one who annoyed him endlessly and the one with his heart.

[Wolfeh]

Trigo felt relaxed to be in the right setting. Adair was much more pleasant than that of Creed, it's brisk winds felt soothing after such a ruckus in the latter of scenery but... it was now tainted by the impurity of Dargan; and what a foul stench he carried with him, plaguing the air and earth with his ash. Disgusting.

He raised a brow as Dargan slipped in front of the mortal wolf who was accompanying him, his stance obviously now defensive... but what was he defending this wolf from? Did that idiot really think that they'd harm someone from their own pack? He was an Adair wolf.

It's a a bit pathetic that you'd ditch Seina over a volcano, Trigo mused. You couldn't stay with her to protect her from what dangers she could have been in but you'd protect a mortal stranger, an Adair wolf, rather than her; your own mate.

Trigo stared at Jey now, curious by the fact that this mortal was so calm in facing the three Gods. It's not a normal routine that the Caelestis walk around in the mortal world. And there are many wolves who live a full lifetime without seeing a single God, let alone three in one day.

[Arria]

Arria snarled at Dargan, she couldn't believe he had the gall to say such things to her, and he even stood in front of Jey, as if they would harm one of their own!

"Get. Away. From Him." she said, Arria was noticing the state of the world now, and she looked closer at Dargan's soaked coat. It should have been the work of a moment to dry it, even if he was weak as a pup. Why was it so hard now? But she was still too angry to realize the gravity of the situation. Whatever he might say, plenty of Adair wolves had died because of Dargan's vendetta against Trigo. She wouldn't let another one close to him. "You have not, hurt anyone yet. I would, know. So. If you get, away from him, you may leave."

[Dargan]

If Dargan was the kind of wolf that laughed, he would have laughed his head off. Did Trigo really think Seina could not take care of herself? Dargan shook his head and looked at Trigo with amused eyes and flicked his tail missing Jey’s nose by inches.

Trigo, Trigo, Dargan shook his head mockingly, do you really think Seina is weak like you? She does not need me around to protect her. I knew she would be fine, and that is why I left her alone. As for the Adair wolf, I am not sure if he is sane. After all, he bought my lies like a pup looking for milk. Dargan chuckled darkly, as he slowly drew a small bit of warmth from the earth. His eyes became a little less murky, as he began to think clearly.

Dargan had all, but forgot Arria and Jey, until Arria made her presence known. Her snarl almost made Dargan laugh, but instead he gave her a crooked smile. Her words made Dargan growl and his hackles rose, after all everything that was happening now was her fault. If she had not dumped water on him, he would be resting somewhere with Seina and now she was trying to tell HIM what to do? I did not force this mere mortal to come with me! He chose on his own will. Dargan walked away from Jey and towards Arria. His eyes glared at her, Trigo was no longer on his mind. He knew one day Arria would pay.

[Kyle]

The whole time the gods were standing off, fighting with each other, the grey and white wolf had been watching silently. Deep inside he was also watching with fear, the Adair gods were capable of dealing damage to Jey. But, this fear, was buried underneath his thoughts of the gods. They are so foolish, just like small pups. They fight over nothing. No one knows the true reason they are fighting, I doubt the gods even know themselves. This whole fight was just folly. Why couldn't they just move on and go to the volcano. Jey was cold, tired, and just a little irritated.

He could have just dashed off. The would pretty much solve all of his problems except for the sun. He could have just told the gods he wasn't hurt and then walk away. He could even have snapped at them so they would just let Dargan go to the volcano. However, he did none of these things. All of them seemed mean or rude to him, and that would be no way to show himself. He continued to sit and listen to the argue about him and Seina.

The fur along his neck bristled when Dargan told them about his lie. It seemed to make him proud. Probably the worse of the four. The thought flashed through his mind quickly. Beinging to grow very tired and cold, he stood up and took a causius pawstep forward. He look at Trigo, Arria, and Dargan, all three gods just standing there. He spoke slowly at first but gradually got braver you could say, "Can you please just take him to the volcano."

[Arria]

He laughing at her. She knew it, he didn't actually have to do it for Arria to know that he was laughing. Everything, from his crooked smile, to the egotistical way he'd been speaking to Trigo showed that. What was happening? Not five minutes ago he'd been moving as if to defend Jey, and now he was mocking him. This wasn't Dargan. Sure, he was somewhat insane with his hatred towards Trigo, but otherwise, he was relatively stable thanks to Seina. And now- now he was acting bipolar. She wanted to ask him what was wrong, but they were enemies. You weren't supposed to worry about your enemies.

And anyways, they had more pressing problems then Dargan's mental health. For instance, his physical. All around her she could see the effects of Dargan's weakness. And yet, his coat stayed soaked. Even as he pulled energy from the earth itself. She didn't know what to do though, because he was the enemy. He-, and then the wolf spoke. Jey, and somehow she found herself repressing a smile. He had guts to speak at all around the gods. Even if they were just bickering like pups. And he also had a point, even if he didn't understand the implications.

And that was why she said, "I can't go to, such a place." she paused, looking at Dargan's soaked coat. "But, I can do-" she twitched her head fractionally, and the water that had clung to the fire god so tenaciously sprung off and flowed over to wrap around her neck like a watery scarf, given shape and solidity by her power."that." she finished, and then sprang between Dargan and Jey. "And I can, let him... leave, without hindrance." She glanced at Trigo, hoping that her mate wouldn't say anything else to enrage Dargan. But, her hopes were not very high. Their hatred had always been mutual.
