Trapped

“Oh, that’s true.” Sirhaan sighs, “What do you mean purify?” Her eyes widen, “If you’re suggesting dying again, no. I love my brother but it’s not worth you being dead for a while.” She huffs.

"What's a sacrifice? Is it a game? Can we play?" He asked jumping up and down

Ursus gives Artemis a small nod. "Yes, please stay and keep Sirhaan company if you would. I'll go tell MoonSong what's going on first as she would be the most likely to react poorly. Can't say I blame her either... Anything before I go?"

Ursus stalks off into the dens, and as he nears he calls out with his mind so as to not wake the others should they rest. MoonSong. If you can hear me please awaken. We have something rather important, and honestly a bit sensitive to discuss. As he finishes, Ursus places himself near MoonSong's den and waits politely so as to not disturb her or break her privacy.

With a soft smile and a bow of his head, Ursus greets his weary friend. Good morning, MoonSong. I am sorry to wake you. May we step inside so we may speak privately? I also am glad to wait until you're fully alert before we discuss the matters at hand. I can fetch you some dried meats from my den too should you desire. (to MoonSong only)

With a sigh Ursus steps into MoonSong's den after her, thinking to himself how he's never really been in most of the dens here other than when he recovered them. Thank you. So I'll just cut to the chase here. First, I never got the chance to thank you for killing Artemis. you did what had to be done to protect us and I can't thank you enough. And what's more is you're right that you can't place a strangle hold on some one to expect them to change for the better. So I hope you're not beating yourself up over what happened. In the end everything was ok anyways, it just goes to show why we all gotta support each other and why we are better off all working as a team rather than trying to tackle and issue alone. Also. You know how there's some... Irregularities surrounding the wolves of where Sirhaan came from right? If not essentially what you need to know is sometimes things line up to where there's two beings that go by the same name and look similar but have very contrasting personalities but not necessarily from the same place. They can be joined into one. This state grants immense power but this power corrupts. You saw this with Artemis. I have been informed that when they are slain; the controlling half which was the corrupted half in this case, dies that there is only one being left and they don't have memories of what occurred nor are they corrupt. So what we have upon ourselves on this unusual night is there is a wolf that looks similar to the one you killed names Artemis but it's not actually him. Sirhaan has assured me this is the case. (To MoonSong only)

Ursus sighs and thinks to himself that this is going exactly as he feared, and expected. "I reacted the same way. I am still a bit confused myself. But one thing is certain, it's not the same wolf out there that was here last time with that name. They are innocent. Please give them mercy, don't make them suffer for the sins of some one else. Sirhaan has asked this of us. So... If you wish to fight, take it out on me instead please. I won't take it personally. And lastly... I'm apologize for the mass of swirling and confusing emotions you're likely feeling right now, just as I do. I am not as... Calm on the inside as I may seem to be on the outside right now."
