Memory Loss Stages- Grimoire had three different dreams that came from three different incidents as he was growing up in the Hecatomb Children.
Stage 1
He dreams of being attacked by wolves and hears them bark vicious words at him with hatred and spite. The poor pup is hurt badly and attempts to run away but the wolves are always at his heels.
Effects- He's cautious, drawn in, snappish, Insomnia
Stage 2
He dreams of a wolf who cares for him but it's all shattered when she convulses and falls over before him. A dark wolf crawls from her mouth to stand before Grim with a wide grin. The wolf tells Grim that he was there to take souls and his would be next. Grim was suddenly attacked by a pack and dragged off as much as he fought to get away. He was tortured and near death when a wolf saved him and tossed him into the rapids. Grim howled out to the wolf that saved him as he saw the wolf get attacked by three wolves.
Effects- Cautious, drawn in, snappish has elevated to aggression, untrusting, alert, paranoia, Insomnia
Stage 3
His mind finally heals from all of the injury and pain. He rests and dreams of what happened to him fully. The wolf that leads a pack that's been tormenting him for the longest time stands before him. "Look at you now, all grown up. It's so pathetic. You're taller than I am now!"
Grim only stares at the male with a frown in silence. The dark wolf circles Grim trying to find a weakness or an entry to get him riled up but can't find a thing and gets angry. "You damn wretch! How dare you stare at me in silence when I speak to you! Do you want me to kill you?! Maybe I should!" The wolf steps back with a wide smile, "That's what I'll do! I'll kill you!"
"You've killed me many times over," Grim speaks darkly towards the male. "Why are you not satisfied with what you've done?" His golden gaze smoldering in the dark. "You've killed my birth pack, my mother, my father and my siblings!"
The dark wolf gives a chuckle as figures appeared behind him, drawing closer. "I've killed you over and over too because I want you to die for good! How I hated and loved you when I met you that day. Your fur was quite nice but it also reminded me of a memory that I didn't want to recall." The male pushed himself through the pack of wolves that were now in front of Grim. "This will surely end you."
Grim's features changed then. His lips pulled back in a wide smile and teeth flashed. "I won't die from this! You're only helping my cause!" The rust colored brute was upon the pack of wolves in a rush.
The air filled with yelps and howls, skin tearing and snarls rang out. Grim was covered in blood with wounds open and scars torn apart. "You're dead to me, bastard! Run! Run as much as you want but it won't save you!" Grim's dark vocals seemed to bubble and spit with blood in his mouth that trickled out to the ground below.
The blood was from the wolves he had killed. The dark wolf was frozen in place as the giant male was upon him. His tactics of torture had failed and now..."Wait, please?!"
In a small fight that only took a few moments Grim stood over the body of the dark wolf. "Vahegod. How I'd cower at your name when I was just a whelp. I have no reason to cower from anyone or anything. I'll be taking what I want as I see fit now. Dreams are nothing but dreams to me. Hell, I feel like I'm always dreaming now." Grim looks off through the dark around him with narrowed and bright glowing eyes. "I don't even know if I'm awake anymore."
Effects- Cold and dark aura, highly aggressive, will kill in a heartbeat, cautious, alert, untrusting, Insomnia
Memory Loss Stages #2 (In PI)
Stage 1- The Great Bear Battle
Grim awoke on the far end of the island atop the highest rock passed out. He looked around in confusion. The last thing he recalled was the pack of Hecatomb was marching into battle against a crazed and enraged bear that had been attacking their camp and pack. Especially the hunters that would go out. Even warriors had to go out with the hunters and give them protection.
Hecatomb had begun losing members due to the damn bear and Dionysia was pissed. Grim had been surprised that she hadn't sent him out on a patrol. After the third or fourth big attack Dionysia ordered the whole camp to take up arms, they were going to kill the damn annoying beast and be done with it all! Grim left the medics den carrying a large herb pack for Moira who also carried a few medium sized herb packs in her jaws. "Grim, you know not to shake that up and get them mixed," she said staring at him expectantly. As many times as he had been in her den for injuries and wounds he knew how to take care of himself and had accompanied her on multiple herb gathering trips.
He'd snort and look down at her with a smile, "Of course, Moira. You've taught me how to carry such things and so fourth. I'm not a clumsy pup anymore." And boy was she glad for that. As many times as he'd mix up her herbs when learning about them when he first came to them and was thrust into the fighting scene. He had been an utter mess.
The Reaper Freke was suddenly at Grim's right side, "Grim you will be coming with me and Bear and a few of the Bully's. Though it doesn't really help our cause to have so many Bully's and not enough Gladiators." He'd glance back at the several Bully's and only three Gladiators. "Dion told me to go about creating the groups. We'll be having Bear, Emil, and..." He'd stare at one of the darker wolves that he couldn't recall.
Grim looked back and chuckled. "Tickles."
The Reaper drew his face and gave a rather ' Are you serious' look to him. "Yeah. Him. Of all names..." The Reaper passed on through the pack as they traveled going to each wolf and informing them of their placement.
Moira was silent, her frame would shiver a bit and moved close to Grim's side. She was extremely uneasy about this and had the worst feeling. "Grim, I don't like this. What if everyone gets killed? What am I to do?! I'm only one medic!"
Grim looked down at her and placed his head atop of hers comfortingly. As large and as scarred up his body was, he did look intimidating and terrifying. Though beneath this Moira understood that he was caring and understanding out of the others that came to her. "I'll work hard to prevent that from happening. Though we will suffer a few losses here and there. It comes with the territory. If they fall from large gashes across the neck just don't bother and help those that can be helped." It was cold. The advice was rigidly cold and unthinkable, to even allow a medic to ignore those that gurgled in their own blood for lack of air or being able to breath. He had seen the damage the bear could do and he knew the mortifying realism of the whole ordeal they were heading into. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I know you've been trying to think of everything to bring to save a life but I should've told you earlier to not...You know.."
Moira was placed into silence. She knew this too. She had been knowing this. It had been helpful to have gotten close to a warrior to help her learn and see just how a battlefield looked but it wasn't until she met Grim that she was really placed upon the field of battle. Having multiple healing stages and constantly changing his herbs due to his body deciding to reject some healing methods.
He was one that had really given her a run in her profession. She had managed to barely a few times save him but he was saved. He was alive. He was dear. In fact very dear to her. "Grimoire, You better come back from this! Of all the wolves that are in this pack I believe you will die first!"
He almost dropped his herbs from bursting into laughter at her. "Good lord, Moira! What are you trying to make me do?! Mix up your herbs?!"
Moira would chuckle over her own herbs. It was all she needed to feel better about him. As for the others....Those were the ones she really feared for.
The Deus paused the pack just before the mountain cliff started. This had been where the scouts had tracked the bear. The bear hadn't left. Grim saw old blood stains smeared on the rocks that it had climbed and wasn't sure if it was from the bear or from their companions that had fallen victim. Dionysia turned to the pack. "Moira, set up somewhere out of sight. Grim, once you finish that I want you to get with your group. That also goes for the rest of you!"
Grim went about helping the medic set up and become prepared. Grim gave comfort to Moira once more. "I can't promise to have the whole pack return in one piece. I can't promise I'll return too. Though I will try to uphold the promise of protecting the Deus."
It was all that warriors and fighters were meant to do when it all came down to it. Moira nodded to him. "If you come back with missing limbs I don't know how your body will react to healing you then. That's a factor we haven't dealt with yet! So DON'T!"
Grim backed away from her with a grin on his features, starting to leave. "I love my body with all fours, thank you. But if that ever happened I'd probably kill myself for looking horrendous." He'd turn and lope with long strides towards his group. Freke awaiting him patiently along with the bullies.
Moira stood there watching him go and prayed. Prayed to whatever god was around to offer assistance and save the pack as best as the god could. Deus Dionysia turned to the groups with her mate Ark beside her who looked pissed beyond belief. He always did but this time it was on a higher scale and Grim wasn't sure just how he could make his features be that way though he didn't dwell on it. "If one of you falls or dies, know that the medic will not be able to heal you! You are as good as dead!"
This didn't give much hope to the pack but those that were experienced knew this fully already. The Bully's, the youngest of the pack, shook where they stood. Tickles stood next to Grim starting to feel scared. Grim looked at the small wolf and bumped him gently before looking back at the alpha.
"I want you all to know that if this pack is wrecked beyond belief. That only three return, this pack will not be growing again. Do as you wish. If I die in this battle, Ark has the option of leading you all as he pleases and to take another mate-"
"I will not!" He snarled at her and snapped the air interrupting her. "I've told you before this took place that I'm going to protect you! You are not dying!"
The Deus would nuzzle him gently. Grim hated how she'd give him affection. He was a mad and chaotic wolf that had no stability. Nothing to hold up and lead a pack like theirs. Or any pack for that matter. Dionysia turned back after muttering a few words to her mate. "Please, all of you, give Ark assistance when he needs it if I do pass! He'll make a wonderful leader to you all! Now, I want Freke's group to go and flank the right front side. I want Sandler's group to go to the left front side! Try to immobilize the front paws! Ark and I will go to the head and work on his sight and senses. The last two groups, Blackthorne and Morvalorn, take the rear flanks and aim for the back. Everyone know where they are to go?"
The groups nodded. Dionysia turned her gaze to look at Grim for a moment. "Work hard, son. Protect my pack and me." She'd turn away then and lead the pack into the cliffs. The pack following after in silence and dread. Halfway up the cliffs and boulders Grim caught the stench of rot and death. His fur raised causing him to puff up, making himself look even bigger. "We're getting close..."
Freke nodded. "Yeah. It really is heavy, the feeling up here."
It felt like a large pressure was pressing down on them all as the higher they climbed. These cliffs never felt like that when the pack would hunt there for goats. Deus Dionysia pushed on ignoring the feeling and the smell of rot. At the top there was blood soaking the ground everywhere. In a pile of broken trees that had been pushed over and snapped like they were nothing lay the deranged bear as he crunched on the skull and bones of the wolves he had killed.
Dion's fur rose in anger and rage. She launched the attack towards the bear. "Surround it!"
The groups did as they were told, getting into position. The bear raised up on its hind legs. Blood on his underside trickling down and splashing on the pools of blood he had been laying in. Grim saw that the bear had been injured deep enough to make the bear bleed out slowly. Though the bear was still standing strong and not even paying its injuries any mind.
It truly had lost its mind and wasn't normal.
Grim looked at the Bully's who stood in absolute fear. He'd back kick Tickles in the jaw causing him to yelp and stumble back. "Stop being scared or you'll die as you stand! Get angry, now! You want to live then get pissed off!"
Freke couldn't have said it better himself. He had been fighting Grim since he arrived and he had seen the growth in the massive Gladiator. It was a shame that Dion put such restraint on the male in rank. He was far from a Gladiator's level. He was a Reaper like himself. "Get ready!" He barked going into a ready stance to launch an attack as Dion instructed.
Grim fell into the same stance as the Bully's copied them. Dionysia gave the howl of war and all groups launched themselves upon the bear's legs. It was like a tree hitting a wolf's body. The sounds of cracking and things breaking. Grim's hearing was filled with it as wolves cried out as they were flung off and bounced over the rocks like they were a small pebble or a rock.
Freke and Grim worked together as the other groups began to dwindle in size. This wasn't working. "Run around him! Dodge as best as we can!"
Freke and the bully's and what was really left of the attack force began circling the bear going left and right. The bear swiped out at the groups of wolves but they would flatten themselves to slide over the ground or leap out of the way, shoving another with them. This had only angered him further and he'd charge them. Dion and her mate Ark went for the face, biting at his neck and eyes before leaping off as the bear swiped at them. "You are all doing very well! Keep it up!" Deus barked and waited for another chance to strike.
Grim had broken from the circle and was watching the bear, trying to understand what he'd do. Though his mind was so gone that his body was confused as well. It'd stagger and right itself before staggering again. The bear launched itself at one of the wolves and would crash into the boulder. The boulder cracking from the amount of force.
Grim understood then. There was no time to say his thoughts and actions were the only way to go. He'd rejoin the circling group being slower and sticking to the outside. He'd bark at the bear and snarl. The bear's attention went upon him and struck with a swipe.
Grim dove forward, dodging the strike and went in for the soft spot in the arm pit. Clamping down and shaking his head viciously his teeth tore deeply before he'd break away and get grazed over his back hind quarters by a claw. The gash burned and pained him, flesh pulsating as he began bleeding. His nerves reacting and going crazy. It had hit deeply but he'd press on circling with the pack again.
"Grim!" Freke barked out alarmed. "What are you doing?! Idiot!"
Grim had a plan. He couldn't believe that Freke hadn't seen what he saw yet. This bear didn't have coordination. He couldn't see nor had sense anymore. He was blind and deaf and the only thing that was working was his nose and vibrations.
The bear frothed at the mouth with spit and blood, roaring out and flinging spit and blood into the air. The bear was mentally and physically ill. Freke took the groups then. "Everyone back off! We're getting too close!"
"No!" Snarled the Deus as she stood on a higher cliff. "Keep what you're doing! It's working!"
Freke was going to argue back when the bear gave a roar and charged. Grim crashed into Freke, sending him off his paws enough for Grim to take hold of his scruff and fling him out of the way while the bear did a downward strike. The claws had missed him but the force had broken a few ribs as Grim struck the ground beneath the bear. The bear rose up towards the cliff that the Deus was on and went to attack her. Grim surged upwards as he regathered himself and bit into the jaw of the bear.
Dion took the chance and went for the eyes again. Grim took yet another hit as claws raked his shoulder and sent him off into the rocks and boulders again. Freke sent the Bully's over to Grim to help him as Freke launched an attack on the bear's back, aiming for its spine. The bear turned around in a lurch and bucked around angrily. Dion leapt off as it struck the side of a cliff with its head, chunks of rock and debris flying off in clouds. Moira yelped out in alarm as she had heard all the fighting. She saw bodies laying about, the members that had once been with them just moments ago and Grim with Bully's over at his side pulling at him. "Get up! Grim?! Grim!"
She shot forward from her hiding spot to Grim's side. "Move!" She tugged at his tail harshly and had him up snarling. He'd pant staring at her. "Moira...! Get out of here!"
"You're hurt! You can't fight like this! Look at you!" She'd snap and look over to the pack. They were in worse of shape than he was yet...
Grim rose with hard of breath that Moira caught. Of course she did. She knew after hearing that he had broken ribs. "Grim-"
"No!" He'd snarl and snap with trouble of breath as he'd stagger. "I'm going to do what I said I'd do! Get into hiding! I told you before we got here!" He'd turn his burning golden gaze at the bear.
His eyes suddenly turned darker and Moira shrank back into her hiding place. She knew better after seeing his eyes turn that shade. He wasn't himself then. He was in it all and wouldn't stop until he'd die. Grim launched himself at the bear as the Deus was upon the bears neck with Ark at the face clawing and biting furiously.
Freke and the Bully's were at the back trying to tear at the spine. They'd leap off or hang on but Grim didn't give a shit anymore. He'd go for the back leg and aim for the nerves behind the bend in the leg. His teeth struck at the center, hitting the nerve and the leg buckled having the bear sink down in the rear. Ark moved and went for the arm pit on the right side, taking out flesh and muscle before becoming dislodged at the movement of the bear.
It was slowing down due to blood loss. Grim went and attacked the other hind leg, having the bear coming back on him. Grim swiped at the bear's face as it tried to bite him and had it reeling back from the strike shaking its head. Eyes bleeding as they were cut into from his nails and from Ark's attack. Of all things that could happen, rain began falling heavily.
Thunder and lightening clapped the skies. The rocks and stones became slick and the Bully's hadn't been trained in such conditions yet. They'd slip and fall, getting scrapes and cuts from their own failure to not slip. Grim panted heavily as his body yearned for more air, chest burning and pained. His gash in his lower back had his hind legs shaking.
His front right shoulder shaking from the pain from the gash there as well. Freke was suddenly thrown as he had lost his traction on a slick boulder and was placed unconscious on the ground. The Bully's had no one to tell them what to do. The Deus was busy trying to save her own self as she was pinned against the cliff wall and the bear. Ark was working hard to get the bears attention and it had worked but for a heartbeat.
Grim moved in then, full sprint and collided into the side of the bear, teeth sinking into its rib cage as his head shook viciously to the side, tearing flesh from it. The bear turned its attention from the Deus who lay on the ground. The bear spun around in place trying to desperately reach for Grim but Grim had placed himself out of reach just below the back rib. A bear's reach couldn't touch him. The bear's elbow rammed him consecutively trying to get him off.
The blows struck his broken ribs and his pain tolerance had left as air was knocked from him. His frame dropped to the ground staggeringly. Another blow from the bear to his left shoulder had him sent over the rocks and into Freke's body. Freke came back too and saw Grim in a bloody heap on top of him. "Oh god! Grim?! Grim!"
Grim came back to himself to stare at Freke, eyes still darkened. "It's..almost dead..." He'd wheeze painfully as he got back to his paws. The Bully's payed the price for being untrained in the rain and were dispatched from the fight by the bear. Freke gasped and made a move to go to them but Grim moved his frame to block him. "Three are still alive...They need...Moira. Take em..!" He'd pant painfully as he coughed and blood trickled down his jaw.
Freke saw that he was fighting with everything he had. To protect him and the Deus as he was instructed.
"Have my back!" Freke moved over the rocks as Grim remained where he was to watch.
The bear was fighting only Ark as Grim searched for the Deus and saw her hobbling away. Almost dragging herself at times. What had happened that he didn't see?! He'd watch as Ark fought the bear and was flung in a downward attack, striking the ground with a sickening crack, mud splashing up with blood mixed in. Lightening cracked and Grim was on the bear to save Ark, pulling at its ear and shaking his head.
The bear rose up in an anguished roar and twisted around to shake its head to throw off Grim before using his claws to swipe at the massive wolf. Grim fell back, narrowly missing another attack to his body, sliding down the back of the bear and snapping at its already injured leg. He'd dig into the bend once again though that had been a mistake. The bear lost its balance and slipped, toppling backwards. Ark pushed himself up from the ground shakily and saw the bear collapse upon the Deus. His heart stopped and a yelping cry came from his throat. "Dionysia!!!"
Freke, the Bully's and the whole area seemed to freeze in time as Grim stood there staring at what just happened. His paws moved forward slowly as Ark bounded over to his mate screaming her name. "Dion! Dion! No! Dionysia!"
The bear gave ragged breathes and a last guttural growl, it's body too weak to really stand anymore. Its efforts of attack were gone as it had used up the last bits of strength. Grim would stand behind Ark staring down at the Deus, his darkened gaze starting to turn back into its formally bright golden gaze, excitement filled from battle. Dion gurgled as blood leaked up and was sent out as her body retched. Her breathing was strangled and becoming nonexistent.
Her words that were on the last of her breath reached his ears above the screaming from Ark. "I'm so proud of you...Grim. I love you...Ark."
She gurgled trying to speak one last time but her body wouldn't allow it. Her heart stopped and her air wheezed from her in a wet hiss as her eyes remained open when she passed. Ark was a sobbing mess and his mental state suddenly snapped. He went insane in a heartbeat and he trying to take Dion's body from the six hundred pound bear. He fought and fought but it was to no avail.
He turned to Grim with wide eyes and Grim wasn't sure if he was angry or insane. "You...! You killed her...!"
Freke stood there by Moira watching the scene unfold as Ark approached Grim stealthily and slow. He was going to attack him!
Grim remained quiet as he backed away, the sudden death and the accident replaying on his mind. He.. He hadn't meant for the bear to do that. He tried to..save her and him! "I did what I was ordered..."
Ark launched an attack at Grim and Grim didn't block but only flee as claws came across his eyes. "I'm going to kill you!" Ark howled as Grim ran.
Grim spun around then and wrapped his teeth over the new Deus's muzzle and clamped down, not letting Ark have anymore say and only thrash about. This was what split Grim and the pack. Freke saw then what Grim had been trying to explain. He was mentally deranged, just like the bear. Ark recoiled, ripping his muzzle from out of Grim's hold, skin torn and nose ripped. He huffed and panted staring at Grim with rage before he crumpled to the sodden ground crying. "She's gone! She's gone!"
Grim rejoined Freke, the Bully's that were alive, and Moira to get treated out of ear shot or eyesight of the new Deus. As the storm raged on night came and the small group bundled up together to keep warm though Ark remained with Dion's body atop the hill. The next morning came and Grim saw a figure coming down from the hilltop. It was Ark wearing the pelt of Dion covered in blood. He had tore at the bear all night and skinned her corpse to take her and make her into a cape. Ark wasn't himself even then and looked far worse than the day before. He approached the small group of what was left of his beloved mates pack. "You can do as you wish. Follow me or leave. Just know that I don't stand for backstabbers who kill their Deus!" His piercing red gaze aimed at Grim who lay there calmly. Ark padded off into the forest back towards the pack home.
"Right now?!" Moira asked feeling confused.
Ark didn't respond and kept on walking. Grim rose exhaustively, legs still shaking from his wounds. "I won't be... going back. Not to him," His voice dark and wheezing as he'd look to the medic and Freke. "Y'all do... as you wish. I'm going by.... myself."
Moira stopped the massive male with an argumentative tone. "You are still too injured to move!"
"I can take care of myself, Moira," he'd counter and stare at the female medic for a moment as he took in a shallow but ragged couple of breaths. He could see she was worried about him and his wounds. His body was tricky and treating him was always different. "Take care of...Freke and the Bully's. Thank you for.....all you've done for me, Moira." He'd turn to Freke and smile to him. "You too, Freke. I hope.....that you heal and find another..... pack that's got a better..... leader."
The Bully's lay there watching the massive fighter leave them and looked to Freke confused. "What are we going to do now?"
Freke and Moira looked to them before looking at one another. "We make a life for ourselves else where. It's what we have to do to survive."
Stage 2
Grim wandered the beach shoreline, sniffing here and there picking up old stale scents. His gaze darkened and his aura cold. His body had healed nicely and scars to go along with it. Excellent. Though why of all places had he come to the beach for?
This wasn't a place he liked being in. The sun was annoying and his body was too hot for his liking. He stuck beneath the shade of the trees. Faces and conversations would come to mind of wolves he recalled but didn't know where he remembered them from. How had he known them?
Was that why he was there? He had met these wolves?
The male would relax beneath the trees clumped together as the ocean made its daily sounds. The urge for water came to him strongly and he'd rise once more to seek out the giant waterfall with its clean water source. After taking his fill and cooling off his frame would leave the rushing rapids and his pillars seemed to know exactly where they were going and brought him into the camp of a pack that resided there. Wolves perked up and greeted him happily, brushing against him. Eh?
Why? Who? They knew him. How strange. It was like he was a part of this pack and faces began popping up in the pack that he had recalled. He had conversations with these wolves trying to better understand himself and realized that he had missing chunks of time in his life. Would he ever get them back with the help of these wolves that he had come to befriend?
Day by day he spent talking with the pack mates and getting to know them again. Though his mind still remained the same. They worked with him trying to help his mind return but it was no use. Grim wasn't even sure just how to get what he lost back. He lounged in the shade of a tree near the beach watching the ocean wash over the shore when a figure caught the corner of his eye. He'd turn and see a smaller female making her way over to him timidly. She was...cute! Really cute! So small! His tail wagged behind him as she approached. "Hi there...." Came his awkward greeting towards the small brown and white female. Freckles dotted her muzzle and cheeks under her eyes and Grim's cheeks went flush beneath his thick fur.
"I heard what happened. You really don't remember?" Auridae asked as she'd settle close but not by him. "Not even me?"
Grim lay there staring at her. Her face was sad. So sad and worried. He'd nod and look out towards the ocean. "I'm sorry. It seems that...I only recall...Hecatomb but not...not here. I don't recall ever joining Intrepidus or meeting you but oddly enough I remember your face, along with a few others. I know you but then again I don't." He'd turn to her looking unsure. "Is that confusing? It really is for me."
Auridae would nod but rise to draw closer to him. "I'm Auridae. We're...friends. We've taken walks on the beach and you've even taken me, Olimpia, and a few of the other females out for long walks because...you're someone we can trust."
Grim stared at her rather surprised to hear that anyone trusted him to go out with him. Even for something as a walk. He was shocked. "So we're friends? Do I.." He'd pause not sure if he should be asking her this because..hell she might not know either. "Have a mate? Did I have one?"
Auridae fidgeted in place nervously and blushed. She'd shake her head at him. "I..ummm...We..." She'd look off towards the camp. "Talked about that for a moment one night or so."
"Oh?" He had talked about having a mate with her? Though who exactly had he asked to be his mate. "Who was I talking about having a mate with?" Was it with...her? Her?! If it was Auridae.. he felt his heart increase in speed as he'd think about things and fantasies. He'd chuckle to himself.
"Umm," She'd say and look to him curiously. "It was with me..."
He could die! Literally die right where he was! Oh god! His jaw opened a bit in surprise. He had asked her?! The small petite figure of a female and probably the smallest in the pack from what he had seen! Speechless. No words came to him for a moment as he tried to gather his fantasies and throw them off. "Yeah..? That was...How did it go? Did we decide?"
That was pointless. The question. She had just called him a 'friend' a moment ago. Auridae shook her head to him. Why hadn't he said yes?!
Idiot!
She could've been snatched right beneath his eyes! What the fuck was he even thinking letting her slip away like that?! What had he even been thinking?! What exactly had he been doing in this pack up until now? Taking long strolls with a lot of females and talking.
Making friends. Why? There must've been a purpose. A reason behind doing all of that? As they sat in silence for a moment a curious question came to mind. "Did you want me as a mate?"
Auridae stared at her paws timidly. Nerves and emoitions going through her. Her paws played with the grass at her paws. "Y-Yes...B-b-....I gave you...the option.."
Option of...deciding? He'd stare at her then blankly. Deciding how or when they'd be mates?
"You said..umm...you know.." She stammered glancing at him embarrassed.
Something in him pricked and perked at the statement. He'd put his head close to hers then observing how she was acting. Something more? "Ohhh?" He'd inquire darkly and grin. "What exactly did I say? Come now, my dear. I don't have my memories to help out with this..."
Auridae felt herself unable to go on with the conversation. Her mind. She'd chuckle nervously and push his face away. "Haha..Grim, you know full well...! You can't be completely lost.." She'd look at him concerned. "Can you?"
He'd press closer to her with a smirk. "Who knows? I might be more lost than I thought because I really don't remember this conversation or you but..I am really drawn to small things like you."
He'd might as well enjoy this since she was attracted to him just the same. She also had more information and it was for his benefit though he didn't have the need to use her. No it was different. He actually was compelled to not hurt her but to love and adore her. Cherish her.
He'd give her a moment to gather herself. He could see how he affected her and he loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing her fidget. He'd get to his paws and stretch his heavily scarred muscular body. "Well, since we have more talking to do on this so called subject of ours, shall we take a nice stroll and see where it takes us?"
Hopefully some place secluded and nice. The perfect spot came to mind then and he'd snicker. Ohh, yes, the perfect spot to have a nice last bit of discussion with the petite Auri.
"Yes!" She'd agree immediately, needing the distraction of the area around her to get control of herself. "I-I would love too!"
She was suddenly plucked up by her scruff and began seeing the world hurtle by in a blur. Grim had picked her up so quickly and carried her without effort. She'd blush deeply. So much for taking time to gather herself! Why did he do this to her?! The two took some time under the shade of densely growing trees and tall grass behind a lip of a hill together. "I say I'll take you as a mate and claim you here. How's that sound?" His deep voice purred into her ear as he nuzzled into her neck. "I was such a fool to not do it sooner. Small things just can't be passed up."
Auridae would nuzzle back into him. She didn't have a problem with that. She had been wanting that since she met him. "T-That's fine!" She'd stammer back and smile. She'd be getting what she wanted and so would he though...how exactly was this helping his memories? She'd look at him and smile.
It wasn't until the next day that Grim was up and going with Auri. He'd look out over he beach beneath the trees and nudge his mate. "Hey, it's a little after morning."
Auri awoke in his fluff to look out sleepily. "Eh?" Her jaws would part in a yawn and she'd stretch. "We need to head back."
He would nod in agreement and rise. Head bent he'd lick her head and lead the way. It wasn't until she shot ahead of him wanting to play. "Hey! Lets play a game? How about you find me?!"
He'd stare at her rather confused. "Uhh...Ok? Sure..?" What exactly was this supposed to do? He'd shrug to himself and allow her to play her game. "I'll give you a head start. Go!"
Auri raced off giggling and disappeared from view. Grim checked the area and everything was good. He'd proceed to follow her tracks. He said he'd play but not go by the rules. He drew closer to where she had been. "Auriii?" He'd call out before he'd dive into the bushes she had been in. Nothing.
He'd look around and continue to follow her steps as it went to the falls. She was trying to lose him. How cute. His nose perked at the scent of a male yet it was old. By a few days.
No...by two.
That was close and it was on the trail the pack usually took. His thoughts raced then with worry for the pack. For Auridae. He'd need to warn her. "Auridae?" He'd call out bounding through the rapids easily before coming out the other side. Her tracks were gone. His heart raced as worry gripped him. "Auri?!" He'd race on down the trail as quickly as he could calling for her.
Nothing.
Had the male gotten her?! He stopped then as a new scent struck him. He'd sniff a few bushes and following the trail. It was only one day and there were still tracks. Grim placed his paw down next to it to size the male up.
He was half his height and half his weight. A push over. Yet he couldn't ignore this loner. He'd turn to race on towards the camp. Surely she had reached that?! Though upon reaching camp she wasn't there.
No one had seen her since yesterday.He fled from the camp heading back to the falls. He'd bark out loudly for her. Auridae gave a yelp in the far distance. "Help me! Grim!"
His fears had come true!
While Grim had left the falls the male had come from the hills and had pounced on Auridae. He had been tracking her, waiting for her to be alone. He'd drag her off away from the path to somewhere else on the beach. Now reunited with his lovely pet he'd make her know that she belonged to him by mating with her by force, pinning her down and not letting her go. Her male that she called for wouldn't be around to save her like she wanted. There was no way he'd be able to track them! Marco laughed at his full proof plan of having them take the beach sands and washing themselves in the ocean water as it struck them. "No one's going to save you! You know how long I've been stalking your pack to get you alone?! I'll make you know full well that your body is mine! You are mine! You are to never leave me , ever, again!"
Auridae cried and pleaded for him to let her go. Leave her be but he only did as he pleased with her.
Grim strode across the beach sands with long strides, eyes pinned upon the figure mounting Auridae. His eyes had changed to a even darker gold color. He had thrown away his sense and allowing his anger and rage take control. His body hurtled over the beach sand to rush up on the busy male. His jaws would grab the males tail and haul him off of his mate.
His muscled back legs pushing him up the hill of sand pulling the male away from Auridae.
"You're mine!" He'd snarl coldly as his back leg shot out and back kicked the male in the jaw sending him into the sand.
Marco got back to his paws quickly looking rather rough shod and surprised by the sudden attack. He'd snarl at the huge male that had disturbed him. "Who the fuck are you?!"
He'd stare at the male in silence. "Someone that'll be killing you." His reply was dark and cold.
Marco launched himself at Grim to try and skull bash his face before attacking his side and try to tackle Grim. Grim went with the punches and fell to the ground with the male atop him. Marco looked pleased with himself. "Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?! You're about to die!"
Grim gave a smirk at the male. "I would say that to you and I'm the one that means it!"
Grim took hold of the males right leg rolling over and getting to his paws, teeth clamped to the foreleg tightly. He'd spin in place causing the male to be swing onto Grim's back and was slammed onto the sand with Grim's body landing on Marco's right shoulder. An audible pop could be heard as it was dislodged from its socket. The massive male got back to his paws as Marco howled in pain.
"Bastard!" He'd pant with his right leg hanging limply. "You'll pay for that!" Marco would launch himself full force towards Grim, colliding into him and grabbing his neck of muscle.
He'd try going for the throat but Grim used his back legs to send them into the ocean water as it crashed down upon them. Grim wrenched himself free of the males grip and used his back legs to pound out kicks into the males stomach, having the male lose all breath. As the surf receded Grim stood as the male stumbled trying to gather breath. Grim took the chance to collide with the male, sending him off his feet and crashing into a surf beaten boulder. Grim's jaws clamped around the throat of the male and held it shut, choking the male of air.
He wasn't about to live after treating his mate the way he had! Marco struggled against Grim's bulk, but his legs did little against the male. He was the one that was really going to die! He'd look towards Auridae for help, pleading with his eyes. She began going hazy.
Marco felt his energy leave him as he'd stare at the massive male. How he hated him! Though he could see just why Auridae had chosen him. He had a good cold spirit and had the same need for blood as him. Though...holy shit he was far worse than himself and that scared him.
He wanted to say the last words, for Aridae but the male tightened his grip. Marco's eyes bulged.His throat gurgled as he spit up water from his lungs. Was this how it felt to die?! Before he'd ponder anymore he was gone. Grim stood there for a few minutes more as the surf crashed against him.
Auridae stared at them both waiting the end. Grim tossed the limp and un-breathing body of Marco away from him. Where it landed he didn't give a slight shit. He'd pad over to him, sniffing, making sure the piece of shit was dead before lifting his leg and peeing on him. "Be glad I'm pissing on you at least," he'd grumble. "I'd much rather preferred to rip you limb from limb but Auri is here. She doesn't need to see that. Though it'd be pleasant to see your face as I'd give you your own beating heart."
He'd return to Auri with blood trickling down his soaked fur from the water. "You ok?"
Auri would perk at suddenly being spoken towards and look up to to greet his head. "I'll be fine." She crawled over to him and nuzzled into his large frame. "The more important question is are you alright?" Her eyes shone with worry.
Grim put a large paw over her back and brought her closer into him. "I'm fine. If you think I'll die from this crap, think again."
It was at that moment that his pounding head seemed to explode in pain, his figure raising up in pained yelps and howls as he rubbed his head on his forelegs. He'd feel his chest give a stabbing pain causing him to flinch and choke in his cry. His body falling to the sands onto his side, eyes open, his body not moving. Not breathing.
Auridae cried out to him. "Grim?! I thought you said you'd be ok?!" She'd push on his side repeatedly, crying his name. Desperately trying to wake him. Help was too far away and she couldn't just leave him! "Grim! Grimoire!"
Her paws beat into his body with everything she had despite her crying figure. He said he wouldn't..!
Stage 3
He was just suspended in darkness. He'd look around and suddenly see himself going through his life, his memories. Reliving everything yet it all sped up. It was like things flashing by him yet he knew what it was without even having to really look. Past his birth, past his almost death from being saved by rapids of rushing water, past Hecatomb, past the other packs that he had come in contact with.
Then Intrepidus. He'd watch how bad things happened but would get better in the end. Sounds of pawsteps had him twist around to see shapes forming and becoming solid. He was surprised to see that it was all of the wolves he had known in his life that had passed away. A tall male approached with a female that was half his size. "Well, well," grinned the male as he looked Grim over. "Who knew Tortras would get to be as strong as he is? As a father I'm proud to have you as my son despite not being alive to watch you grow up. Me and your mother though made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of your life. As a parent, we knew one or two of our pups would survive to live on. I made my choice to toss you into the rapids. Your mother grabbed your cousin and ran off with him."
Grim stared at his father not sure what to say. "My cousin? Wait..How would you even know I'd survive? I could've died to that waterfall!"
Grim's father Varoanto smiled at his son. "It was a hope. It's all any parent has for thier pups when in dire."
It was rather surprising that Grim's parents even held so much hope over a single pup like himself. "Why not my other siblings?! Why not choose them?! Why did it have to be me?!"
Cana spoke then with a gentle soft voice. "Your father saw himself in you. He put you over the others after you were born. I asked him the same question and that was his reply. He said you would be a strong figure in the pack or in your own pack, where ever you were. He knew you had gotten the family curse just by seeing your coat color." She'd rub against him lovingly. "I was the one that was so scared for you. Seeing you get tossed like that. My hope for you was diminished and I chose Talon, my sisters son to carry on the family line eventually. You both were a few months apart but there's always some pack that would take in a pup."
He'd raise his forepaw to wrap around his mothers leg. "I defied the odds out of another wolf's kindness."
"Mine," spoke a female with a gruff voice. "You turned out to be quite the fighter when I found you."
Grim turned to see Monasiel. He'd smile and greeted her by placing his head upon hers. "It's good to see you again, Mona!"
She'd look up at him. "You are the best sight of all, Grim. I'm proud that you took up courage to leave my body behind and seek out a life. Not many pups can do that. You have a strong fighting spirit within you. Remember what I'd whisper to you when you were healing?"
"Never let go of the light that I have because it might be important to someone one day." Grim looked upon the frail female.
“Now it isn’t someone for you. It’s many.” Monasiel said with a warm smile. “It’s far more than I thought would be in front of you, Grim.” The female placed her head against his muscled left shoulder. “Keep defying those odds and stay strong for us. For everyone. Everyone that’s called upon you. Protected you. Shared their lessons with you. Never forget them and share on what you know.”
He placed his muscled jaw atop her head and gave a deep, “I already have. I will keep on until I can’t share anymore.”
“Monasiel was a blessing for us,” Cana said quietly as she gazed upon the female. “Without her being where she was, you would’ve surely died.”
Grim was suddenly struck across the face. He’d look in surprise to Dionysia who grinned at him. “Well, well, you’ve gotten taller since we last met I think.”
He’d stand there staring at her in solemn recollection. “I’m so sorry, Dion. That bear-” She snapped cutting him off. “Who fucking cares?!”
She’d give a snort and stalk about in front of him looking off in no particular area before looking at him again. “You did what you were told to do! I even told you I’d probably die!”
He’d argue with her on that one, “I killed you!”
“Silence!” she snarled with a snap of her jaws. “I got killed because of my foolish decisions and inability to get the fuck out! After my legs got broke and fractured I knew I was fucked. It wasn’t because of you, Grim! You killed that damn bear all for me!” She stepped towards him and peered up at his face. “You tried saving me. Believe it or not, you did far more than Ark, the dumb ass!”
Grim would crack a chuckle and stare at her fondly. He’d missed her. She’d stare back at him before drawing closer and placing her head against his neck and begin crying. Grim looked at her back as he listened to her cry. “Dion? Please don’t…”
“I’m…” she blubbered between gasps, “I was so horrible to you! Yet you followed me still! You took my torture and you made it fun! It wasn’t meant to be…!”
She pressed into him and wrapped a paw around his left muscled foreleg because she wasn’t tall enough to hug him. “I’m so proud of you! Please forgive me, Grim? You really aren’t a cold-hearted wolf like I told you when you were a pup! You can stop believing in that! No one is…not even me! You big fool…Please…?! Please forgive me!”
Grim fought back the urge to cry that had his eyes watering. Her pleas were something he had always dreamt of when he’d dream about her last moments. Now he was standing there with her and hearing them for himself. Grim lifted his right front leg to drape over her shoulders as his head draped over her neck. His voice cracking as he struggled to speak, “I know I’m not. I know this. I’ve already forgiven you. I even forgave Ark, as much of a struggle that was.” He cracked and let himself cry. Of all the memories he had of Hecatomb and of Dionysia. All the fun and hardships. “It’s ok, Dion. Mother. You’ve shown me how to live and fight. You’ve shown me a lot of things that I’ll never forget. I’ll always cherish and pass on to those around me. Even to pups that aren’t or are mine.”
He’d look over to the others that were there from his experiences in life. “I’m really…lucky! You all told me so many things before you passed! I’m sorry…that I’ve not thought about each of you more. Though I have brought up lessons that I’ve learned and taught others in your memories. You’re all still with me and always will be…” He’d rest his head upon Deus Dionysia as he wept.
“Grimoire,” Dion said with a cracked and soft voice as she looked up to him. “I never gave you my last blessing to rank you up from Gladiator. I was trying to say that before I died but…I here by announce, I, Deus Dionysia, leader of the Hecatomb Pack, that Grimoire of Hecatomb Pack be promoted. Gladiator Grimoire, you are hereby Reaper Grimoire of Hecatomb Pack for your valiance, honor, and loyalty to your pack! Your strength and will to fight has served Hecatomb and made your Deus proud!” Deus Dionysia drew away from him to allow Grim to bow his head to her. “Bow your head so that I may seal this blessing upon you.”
Grim felt himself cry harder as his head lowered to look at her paws. Her muzzle pressed against his head with a light bump.
“May you live a life of honor and loyalty to the new pack that you serve and leave a trail of justice behind you.” Dion began to fade away into nothing as her last undying wish had come true. She got to give him what she had been regretting all this time.
Grim watched in surprise as she faded away. She gave him a warm smile, something he hadn’t seen since he was a pup, before she was gone. He turned to his mother and father to have them touch his head too, “May the Drandos be strong in your blood and be carried on for a long time. Our curse being given to you. May you find a way to break it and give our blood lineage new light.”
His mother began to speak then, “May you live a long and healthy life to watch over your family and friends. May you be strong for those that can not be. Give others strength and lead them where they can’t decide.”
Grim watched them fade away as Dion had. He’d then watch as the other wolves began to fade too. Grim was left alone in the darkness. No direction or place to go. “What am I to do now?!” He barked with his voice echoing out around him.
A bright light would envelope him from below causing him to yelp in surprise. He suddenly was dropped, falling back to the earth. He could see himself and Auridae on the beach. How she was crying over his body and trying to wake him. It pained him to see her like that, not knowing what he’d just gone through.
“Auridae!”
Auridae lay atop Grim’s chest with her head resting in its side to hear his heartbeat. It had been silent for a bit now. Her voice cracked as she spoke. “Grim, please come back…”
A thump was heard then causing her to sniffle and blink. What? She looked around confused. Nothing was there but what was the thump? She placed her head back upon Grim’s chest to hear thumps again.
Realizing then that it was the heartbeat that she had been listening for. “Grim?!”
His chest began to lift and fall like nothing had happened. He stirred slowly and gave a yawn, body stretching as if he had awoken from a nap or sleep. “Hey there!” His thick, long fluffy tail wagging.
She enveloped him in a hug. “ Grim! You’re alright! I was so worried!” she whimpered licking his cheek. “What happened?! Are you sure you’re ok?!”
He’d look around at the beach that they were on. Things slowly flooding back to him. “I’m back. I remember everything. I got a long story to tell you too.”
Auridae stared at him for a moment. “You remember? Really? Wait…” His tone was just like before, the usual deep tone that was calm.
“I’m so sorry for worrying you,” Grim rose with a slight struggle to nuzzle her petite figure. “I’m glad to be back among the living so to say.”
“I’m glad you’re back too. My heart felt like it was being strangled when you were gone. You were out cold for so long…”
Grim settled against her for a moment on the beach to snuggle. He’d wrap his tail about her side. “I’m alright now. I’ll be standing tall for you for a long time to come, Auri.” He then saw the kind of shape they were in. “Well, now the next thing to think about is what Olive will say about us.”
Auridae paused and realized the shape that they were both in. Grim being worse than her. “Ah…”
The two made their way back to the pack to only be chewed upon by the medic Olimpia by her words of what healing she'd have to do and all the herbs she had to use. Though as she got to Grim, her words were a bit more harsh and stabbing. Grim was happy though. Much happier than he'd ever been. He'd turn to Olimpia as she was tending to his bite wound on his neck and smile. "Thanks, Olive. I missed you."
She'd only stare at him in confusion. "What the hell even happened out there?! Grim! You're to stay in the medic den until I see you're fully healed! No wandering from camp! Got that?!"
He'd only smile and nod to lay his head upon his forepaws. "Aye, my olive, aye." His golden gaze staring at his beloved mate Auridae, cherishing how she looked as she'd giggle at Olimpia's words towards him.
AND THUS CONCLUDES THE RP!!!! (I should've finished this months ago!)
Backstory
Tortras was birthed by Cana in Redmoon Pack. Fathered by Alpha Varoanto. Redmoon Pack was taken over by Vahegod who lead the Darkmist Pack when Tortras was only six months old, almost seven months. Vahegod crippled the Alpha and had Tortras fight his older son Goranya who was nine months old. Tortras almost died to Goranya if his father hadn't rescued him.
Varoanto tossed his son into the swift rapids while he sacrificed himself and the pack to stop Vahegod. The juvenile was beat up by the rocks of the rapids and was taken over the ridge of the tallest waterfall. The young male was found by a kind female wolf who was dying of an illness. His memory lost, the female loner Monasiel named the pup Grimoire due to his grave injuries that almost killed him. Once Grim healed, he had turned seven months, Mona succumbed to her illness and died leaving Grim to become a loner and wander about with no direction.
He was picked up by Lady Cazatella of the Intrepidus Pack. He remained there for a few months, turning 1 years old before he wandered off again. He felt like it wasn't the pack for him.
Grimoire ran across Deus Dionysia and her pack of Hecatomb Children. There he grew up into a strong and abnormally tall fighter. Dion treated Grim like he was her own son, training him and rearing him. Dion's life ended tragically in a fight with a bear who had a mental disease in the rain. The bear fell upon her body causing the Alphess to have broken ribs that pierced her lungs.
She drowned on her own blood while the pack tried in vain to chase the bear away. The Alphess's mate Arktophonos took up leadership but went insane at the loss of his beloved. The pack shattered and Grimoire now wanders about as a Loner once again. Wandering about he ran across a pack that wasn't anything like the Hecatomb Children and on a much lesser scale of danger. He gave a shrug of his heavily scarred shoulders and took the plunge of seeking out a new home within the W|ild O|nes Pack, taking up the rank of Praetorian which was a fighting rank.
As days go by the brute makes friends with the wolves of the pack, finding strengths and weaknesses of others. Even seeing a few flirtations directed towards him. Maybe, just maybe, it would be kind of nice to have a family. He'd fought and battled for ranks most of his life. A family is what he hadn't had yet but who would the large male choose?
His bloody background and dangerous life style within the Hecatomb Children just might come in handy if not give him bad dreams at night.
A family would be nice but it wasn't within the W|ild O|nes Pack. He left the pack wandering off in search of another home as he took up his loner title once again. While walking a dusty path that other wolves and animals had taken a female called out to him with a growl of warning. Grim looked up to see a familiar female coming towards him. Her scent triggered a far away memory to return, seeing a previous pack that he had been in a long time ago. "Lady Cazatella," he breathed deeply and bowed his skull to her in respect. "It's I, Grimoire." He rose again to stand tall over her for the Alpha to look him over.
The leader stay as she was staring at him in confusion though she recalled the name. "Ah!" She exclaimed in shock at the massive male before her. "Grim! Look at you!"
The two wolves sat in some tall grass beneath a tree catching up on what had happened in Grim's life. It was finally Caza's turn to be told the grim news of what happened to her best friend Dionysia. Caza told Grim what had happened to the pack after he had left and all the troubles they had faced. Grim saw that the pack needed strength and help and decided to rejoin forces of the Intrepidus.
Grim now wanders the borders of the pack territory, looking after the members with a keen eye, sharing a few words to them here and there. As a few months of him being there to a year he found love, more friends and saw more drama. Though after his love interest went missing he became depressed. Sitting on the highest hills in the territory looking out towards the ocean in a long off daze. He'd spend his days like that, barely talking to anyone.
His mind made up, the large male left the pack and the territory before dawn broke over the mountains. His strides long and quick. His heart was heavy from doing this as memories went through his head each passing minute. "I'm sorry. Don't forgive me, my Lady." His form in full run now. He put some distance between himself and the Intrepidus turning into a Loner once again.
After a few weeks of being away he got himself into a bit of a pickle as he was accused of a crime he didn't commit by a group of hunters. Their accusation was raiding their territory of food and he had just gotten there. Grim tried to talk things out but the hunters pulled him off to their Alpha who stared at him like an idiot. She had him as prisoner and was forced to be held in a cave, being fed mice. The Alpha, Kat, would make small visits to him once in a while and snuggle up to his side.
Grim saw what was going on and told her that her false accusations and prison sentence wasn't something that was glorified nor was it appreciated to someone like him. He wasn't about to be held down to only be treated like a toy to someone like her. Kat grew furious and ordered that Grim was to be starved before leaving the cave. It was a couple of days later that things changed. Rumors began to fly around the pack about something that had happened to a pack called Intrepidus.
A Guard would be stationed outside the cave entrance to watch Grim and to keep others from giving him food. Grim caught bits and pieces of the information as he lay on the hard stone floor. "Hey," Grim said deeply towards the male called Azul who turned to fix him with a glare. "What's this about a pack called Intrepidus?"
Azul would remain silent for a moment. "Why does it concern you?" Before Grim could respond Azul spoke again. "Ah, apparently they've been spreading lies and treating their pack members that are of high rank terribly. A pack called Vailiance is spreading the truth about them. Packs like that shouldn't be around! Like this pack, this pack is one of the better ones even though it's small."
Grimoire narrowed his gaze at this statement with disgust and anger. "Where did this pack, Vailiance, come from?"
"They were the members of Intrepidus. Even the Alpha. After what the first Alpha said to them Vail took what pack mates didn't want to be a apart of the abuse and left. I congratulate him!" Azul spoke sharply but highly about Vail and his new pack. "They seem strong too! I wonder if Kat will ally with them?"
Grim layed there in utter hatred but filled more so with worry. What had happened to the pack? More rumors flew the longer he was away and it angered him more and more.
The day when Azul turned into a wolf eating monster and tried to eat a pup-sitter named Skyla and a pup called Lynn had Grimoire up in hackles with teeth raised. No Guard could stop Azul and no warrior stood a chance that tried and ended up with injuries that they couldn't handle, the pain was too much for them. Grim left the cave to go up in fits of rage and pent up anger at the half insane Guard Azul. The fight lasted ten minutes before Grim pinned the Guard and took him by the neck to only throw him off the cliff side to the slope of rocks below where Azul's body bounced and rolled. Kat was about to punish the prisoner when the pack went up in arms at the thought and defended Grim.
Grimoire was gone then before anyone could thank him. He was headed back to Intrepidus, back to Kiwimbi Beach as fast as he could, wounds still fresh and open. The pain forgotten. All he could think about was the state of the pack. It took two days of travel with no rest, like Grim could sleep anyway, to return to Intrepidus. Upon arrival his wounds were nothing but small cuts, not having been very deep in the first place, he was approached by Lady Cazatella who seemed surprised by his appearance. "I thought you left?!"
"I'm back now. I'm staying. This pack still has loyalty and wolves that still speak the truth!" Grim would go on to tell Caza what all he had heard when he was away.
After Grim returned the few days of work to tend to the members became rather depressing as Grim saw just how much damage Vail had done when he was gone. He made friends with Olimpia, Olive, as he calls her. While hanging with her he met another new face named Auridae. It wasn't long before Grim had a relationship built between the two though odd occurrences had happened between him and Olive. The relationship was good but...complicated.
As for him and Auridae it was good and going well. It actually surprised him to hear her say that she liked him a lot. He hadn't even thought that she had a thing for him and it would just be one sided. The two explained their past loves, well for Grim it wasn't much of anything nor was it good. Auridae felt for him which had him draw closer to the dame, his interest turning into a crush for the small female.
She was so cute when she'd open herself to him!
After a while of getting to know everyone his memories relapsed and left him due to things happening between Auridae and Grim. After some drama and Grim choosing Auri as his mate he ended up dying just briefly. After that things have gone back to normal. He leaves the territory randomly on small trips that last a few weeks at a time but this recent one lasted about a month long. He returned to see that his mate was devastated by his absence and was leaning on others for support.
He reappeared to her to tell her what had happened to have him disappear. After a bit of crying and comforting Auridae was better and perked up more than she had been. Grim was pleased to see that his mate wasn't so depressed and down any longer. It's how he wanted to see her everyday, happy and cheerful like the day they met.
Intrepidus had grown too big for their territory and needed a new place. Grim however didn't feel like going. Auridae and him parted ways. She went with the pack to their new home and Grim became a Loner. He wandered and wander and wandered looking for his past lover Shrew. He wound up in a land called Glykeria and swiftly secured a place alongside a beautiful female that ruled a group called Ruina. After becoming Lord to help her she slipped off and left the lands leaving him alone to do all the work. Grim didn't mind. It was a small group. Though one by one the wolves left and Grim was alone. He met Lord Dax and forged a fast friendship with him by a few meetings. Then on a fateful snowy day he stumbled across his former lover Shrew. Things quickly fell into a whirlwind of romance between them and he became Lord of Solani besides Lord Dax and Dax's mate.

Memory Loss Stages- Grimoire had three different dreams that came from three different incidents as he was growing up in the Hecatomb Children.
Stage 1
He dreams of being attacked by wolves and hears them bark vicious words at him with hatred and spite. The poor pup is hurt badly and attempts to run away but the wolves are always at his heels.
Effects- He's cautious, drawn in, snappish, Insomnia
Stage 2
He dreams of a wolf who cares for him but it's all shattered when she convulses and falls over before him. A dark wolf crawls from her mouth to stand before Grim with a wide grin. The wolf tells Grim that he was there to take souls and his would be next. Grim was suddenly attacked by a pack and dragged off as much as he fought to get away. He was tortured and near death when a wolf saved him and tossed him into the rapids. Grim howled out to the wolf that saved him as he saw the wolf get attacked by three wolves.
Effects- Cautious, drawn in, snappish has elevated to aggression, untrusting, alert, paranoia, Insomnia
Stage 3
His mind finally heals from all of the injury and pain. He rests and dreams of what happened to him fully. The wolf that leads a pack that's been tormenting him for the longest time stands before him. "Look at you now, all grown up. It's so pathetic. You're taller than I am now!"
Grim only stares at the male with a frown in silence. The dark wolf circles Grim trying to find a weakness or an entry to get him riled up but can't find a thing and gets angry. "You damn wretch! How dare you stare at me in silence when I speak to you! Do you want me to kill you?! Maybe I should!" The wolf steps back with a wide smile, "That's what I'll do! I'll kill you!"
"You've killed me many times over," Grim speaks darkly towards the male. "Why are you not satisfied with what you've done?" His golden gaze smoldering in the dark. "You've killed my birth pack, my mother, my father and my siblings!"
The dark wolf gives a chuckle as figures appeared behind him, drawing closer. "I've killed you over and over too because I want you to die for good! How I hated and loved you when I met you that day. Your fur was quite nice but it also reminded me of a memory that I didn't want to recall." The male pushed himself through the pack of wolves that were now in front of Grim. "This will surely end you."
Grim's features changed then. His lips pulled back in a wide smile and teeth flashed. "I won't die from this! You're only helping my cause!" The rust colored brute was upon the pack of wolves in a rush.
The air filled with yelps and howls, skin tearing and snarls rang out. Grim was covered in blood with wounds open and scars torn apart. "You're dead to me, bastard! Run! Run as much as you want but it won't save you!" Grim's dark vocals seemed to bubble and spit with blood in his mouth that trickled out to the ground below.
The blood was from the wolves he had killed. The dark wolf was frozen in place as the giant male was upon him. His tactics of torture had failed and now..."Wait, please?!"
In a small fight that only took a few moments Grim stood over the body of the dark wolf. "Vahegod. How I'd cower at your name when I was just a whelp. I have no reason to cower from anyone or anything. I'll be taking what I want as I see fit now. Dreams are nothing but dreams to me. Hell, I feel like I'm always dreaming now." Grim looks off through the dark around him with narrowed and bright glowing eyes. "I don't even know if I'm awake anymore."
Effects- Cold and dark aura, highly aggressive, will kill in a heartbeat, cautious, alert, untrusting, Insomnia
Memory Loss Stages #2 (In PI)
Stage 1- The Great Bear Battle
Grim awoke on the far end of the island atop the highest rock passed out. He looked around in confusion. The last thing he recalled was the pack of Hecatomb was marching into battle against a crazed and enraged bear that had been attacking their camp and pack. Especially the hunters that would go out. Even warriors had to go out with the hunters and give them protection.
Hecatomb had begun losing members due to the damn bear and Dionysia was pissed. Grim had been surprised that she hadn't sent him out on a patrol. After the third or fourth big attack Dionysia ordered the whole camp to take up arms, they were going to kill the damn annoying beast and be done with it all! Grim left the medics den carrying a large herb pack for Moira who also carried a few medium sized herb packs in her jaws. "Grim, you know not to shake that up and get them mixed," she said staring at him expectantly. As many times as he had been in her den for injuries and wounds he knew how to take care of himself and had accompanied her on multiple herb gathering trips.
He'd snort and look down at her with a smile, "Of course, Moira. You've taught me how to carry such things and so fourth. I'm not a clumsy pup anymore." And boy was she glad for that. As many times as he'd mix up her herbs when learning about them when he first came to them and was thrust into the fighting scene. He had been an utter mess.
The Reaper Freke was suddenly at Grim's right side, "Grim you will be coming with me and Bear and a few of the Bully's. Though it doesn't really help our cause to have so many Bully's and not enough Gladiators." He'd glance back at the several Bully's and only three Gladiators. "Dion told me to go about creating the groups. We'll be having Bear, Emil, and..." He'd stare at one of the darker wolves that he couldn't recall.
Grim looked back and chuckled. "Tickles."
The Reaper drew his face and gave a rather ' Are you serious' look to him. "Yeah. Him. Of all names..." The Reaper passed on through the pack as they traveled going to each wolf and informing them of their placement.
Moira was silent, her frame would shiver a bit and moved close to Grim's side. She was extremely uneasy about this and had the worst feeling. "Grim, I don't like this. What if everyone gets killed? What am I to do?! I'm only one medic!"
Grim looked down at her and placed his head atop of hers comfortingly. As large and as scarred up his body was, he did look intimidating and terrifying. Though beneath this Moira understood that he was caring and understanding out of the others that came to her. "I'll work hard to prevent that from happening. Though we will suffer a few losses here and there. It comes with the territory. If they fall from large gashes across the neck just don't bother and help those that can be helped." It was cold. The advice was rigidly cold and unthinkable, to even allow a medic to ignore those that gurgled in their own blood for lack of air or being able to breath. He had seen the damage the bear could do and he knew the mortifying realism of the whole ordeal they were heading into. "I'm sorry," he whispered. "I know you've been trying to think of everything to bring to save a life but I should've told you earlier to not...You know.."
Moira was placed into silence. She knew this too. She had been knowing this. It had been helpful to have gotten close to a warrior to help her learn and see just how a battlefield looked but it wasn't until she met Grim that she was really placed upon the field of battle. Having multiple healing stages and constantly changing his herbs due to his body deciding to reject some healing methods.
He was one that had really given her a run in her profession. She had managed to barely a few times save him but he was saved. He was alive. He was dear. In fact very dear to her. "Grimoire, You better come back from this! Of all the wolves that are in this pack I believe you will die first!"
He almost dropped his herbs from bursting into laughter at her. "Good lord, Moira! What are you trying to make me do?! Mix up your herbs?!"
Moira would chuckle over her own herbs. It was all she needed to feel better about him. As for the others....Those were the ones she really feared for.
The Deus paused the pack just before the mountain cliff started. This had been where the scouts had tracked the bear. The bear hadn't left. Grim saw old blood stains smeared on the rocks that it had climbed and wasn't sure if it was from the bear or from their companions that had fallen victim. Dionysia turned to the pack. "Moira, set up somewhere out of sight. Grim, once you finish that I want you to get with your group. That also goes for the rest of you!"
Grim went about helping the medic set up and become prepared. Grim gave comfort to Moira once more. "I can't promise to have the whole pack return in one piece. I can't promise I'll return too. Though I will try to uphold the promise of protecting the Deus."
It was all that warriors and fighters were meant to do when it all came down to it. Moira nodded to him. "If you come back with missing limbs I don't know how your body will react to healing you then. That's a factor we haven't dealt with yet! So DON'T!"
Grim backed away from her with a grin on his features, starting to leave. "I love my body with all fours, thank you. But if that ever happened I'd probably kill myself for looking horrendous." He'd turn and lope with long strides towards his group. Freke awaiting him patiently along with the bullies.
Moira stood there watching him go and prayed. Prayed to whatever god was around to offer assistance and save the pack as best as the god could. Deus Dionysia turned to the groups with her mate Ark beside her who looked pissed beyond belief. He always did but this time it was on a higher scale and Grim wasn't sure just how he could make his features be that way though he didn't dwell on it. "If one of you falls or dies, know that the medic will not be able to heal you! You are as good as dead!"
This didn't give much hope to the pack but those that were experienced knew this fully already. The Bully's, the youngest of the pack, shook where they stood. Tickles stood next to Grim starting to feel scared. Grim looked at the small wolf and bumped him gently before looking back at the alpha.
"I want you all to know that if this pack is wrecked beyond belief. That only three return, this pack will not be growing again. Do as you wish. If I die in this battle, Ark has the option of leading you all as he pleases and to take another mate-"
"I will not!" He snarled at her and snapped the air interrupting her. "I've told you before this took place that I'm going to protect you! You are not dying!"
The Deus would nuzzle him gently. Grim hated how she'd give him affection. He was a mad and chaotic wolf that had no stability. Nothing to hold up and lead a pack like theirs. Or any pack for that matter. Dionysia turned back after muttering a few words to her mate. "Please, all of you, give Ark assistance when he needs it if I do pass! He'll make a wonderful leader to you all! Now, I want Freke's group to go and flank the right front side. I want Sandler's group to go to the left front side! Try to immobilize the front paws! Ark and I will go to the head and work on his sight and senses. The last two groups, Blackthorne and Morvalorn, take the rear flanks and aim for the back. Everyone know where they are to go?"
The groups nodded. Dionysia turned her gaze to look at Grim for a moment. "Work hard, son. Protect my pack and me." She'd turn away then and lead the pack into the cliffs. The pack following after in silence and dread. Halfway up the cliffs and boulders Grim caught the stench of rot and death. His fur raised causing him to puff up, making himself look even bigger. "We're getting close..."
Freke nodded. "Yeah. It really is heavy, the feeling up here."
It felt like a large pressure was pressing down on them all as the higher they climbed. These cliffs never felt like that when the pack would hunt there for goats. Deus Dionysia pushed on ignoring the feeling and the smell of rot. At the top there was blood soaking the ground everywhere. In a pile of broken trees that had been pushed over and snapped like they were nothing lay the deranged bear as he crunched on the skull and bones of the wolves he had killed.
Dion's fur rose in anger and rage. She launched the attack towards the bear. "Surround it!"
The groups did as they were told, getting into position. The bear raised up on its hind legs. Blood on his underside trickling down and splashing on the pools of blood he had been laying in. Grim saw that the bear had been injured deep enough to make the bear bleed out slowly. Though the bear was still standing strong and not even paying its injuries any mind.
It truly had lost its mind and wasn't normal.
Grim looked at the Bully's who stood in absolute fear. He'd back kick Tickles in the jaw causing him to yelp and stumble back. "Stop being scared or you'll die as you stand! Get angry, now! You want to live then get pissed off!"
Freke couldn't have said it better himself. He had been fighting Grim since he arrived and he had seen the growth in the massive Gladiator. It was a shame that Dion put such restraint on the male in rank. He was far from a Gladiator's level. He was a Reaper like himself. "Get ready!" He barked going into a ready stance to launch an attack as Dion instructed.
Grim fell into the same stance as the Bully's copied them. Dionysia gave the howl of war and all groups launched themselves upon the bear's legs. It was like a tree hitting a wolf's body. The sounds of cracking and things breaking. Grim's hearing was filled with it as wolves cried out as they were flung off and bounced over the rocks like they were a small pebble or a rock.
Freke and Grim worked together as the other groups began to dwindle in size. This wasn't working. "Run around him! Dodge as best as we can!"
Freke and the bully's and what was really left of the attack force began circling the bear going left and right. The bear swiped out at the groups of wolves but they would flatten themselves to slide over the ground or leap out of the way, shoving another with them. This had only angered him further and he'd charge them. Dion and her mate Ark went for the face, biting at his neck and eyes before leaping off as the bear swiped at them. "You are all doing very well! Keep it up!" Deus barked and waited for another chance to strike.
Grim had broken from the circle and was watching the bear, trying to understand what he'd do. Though his mind was so gone that his body was confused as well. It'd stagger and right itself before staggering again. The bear launched itself at one of the wolves and would crash into the boulder. The boulder cracking from the amount of force.
Grim understood then. There was no time to say his thoughts and actions were the only way to go. He'd rejoin the circling group being slower and sticking to the outside. He'd bark at the bear and snarl. The bear's attention went upon him and struck with a swipe.
Grim dove forward, dodging the strike and went in for the soft spot in the arm pit. Clamping down and shaking his head viciously his teeth tore deeply before he'd break away and get grazed over his back hind quarters by a claw. The gash burned and pained him, flesh pulsating as he began bleeding. His nerves reacting and going crazy. It had hit deeply but he'd press on circling with the pack again.
"Grim!" Freke barked out alarmed. "What are you doing?! Idiot!"
Grim had a plan. He couldn't believe that Freke hadn't seen what he saw yet. This bear didn't have coordination. He couldn't see nor had sense anymore. He was blind and deaf and the only thing that was working was his nose and vibrations.
The bear frothed at the mouth with spit and blood, roaring out and flinging spit and blood into the air. The bear was mentally and physically ill. Freke took the groups then. "Everyone back off! We're getting too close!"
"No!" Snarled the Deus as she stood on a higher cliff. "Keep what you're doing! It's working!"
Freke was going to argue back when the bear gave a roar and charged. Grim crashed into Freke, sending him off his paws enough for Grim to take hold of his scruff and fling him out of the way while the bear did a downward strike. The claws had missed him but the force had broken a few ribs as Grim struck the ground beneath the bear. The bear rose up towards the cliff that the Deus was on and went to attack her. Grim surged upwards as he regathered himself and bit into the jaw of the bear.
Dion took the chance and went for the eyes again. Grim took yet another hit as claws raked his shoulder and sent him off into the rocks and boulders again. Freke sent the Bully's over to Grim to help him as Freke launched an attack on the bear's back, aiming for its spine. The bear turned around in a lurch and bucked around angrily. Dion leapt off as it struck the side of a cliff with its head, chunks of rock and debris flying off in clouds. Moira yelped out in alarm as she had heard all the fighting. She saw bodies laying about, the members that had once been with them just moments ago and Grim with Bully's over at his side pulling at him. "Get up! Grim?! Grim!"
She shot forward from her hiding spot to Grim's side. "Move!" She tugged at his tail harshly and had him up snarling. He'd pant staring at her. "Moira...! Get out of here!"
"You're hurt! You can't fight like this! Look at you!" She'd snap and look over to the pack. They were in worse of shape than he was yet...
Grim rose with hard of breath that Moira caught. Of course she did. She knew after hearing that he had broken ribs. "Grim-"
"No!" He'd snarl and snap with trouble of breath as he'd stagger. "I'm going to do what I said I'd do! Get into hiding! I told you before we got here!" He'd turn his burning golden gaze at the bear.
His eyes suddenly turned darker and Moira shrank back into her hiding place. She knew better after seeing his eyes turn that shade. He wasn't himself then. He was in it all and wouldn't stop until he'd die. Grim launched himself at the bear as the Deus was upon the bears neck with Ark at the face clawing and biting furiously.
Freke and the Bully's were at the back trying to tear at the spine. They'd leap off or hang on but Grim didn't give a shit anymore. He'd go for the back leg and aim for the nerves behind the bend in the leg. His teeth struck at the center, hitting the nerve and the leg buckled having the bear sink down in the rear. Ark moved and went for the arm pit on the right side, taking out flesh and muscle before becoming dislodged at the movement of the bear.
It was slowing down due to blood loss. Grim went and attacked the other hind leg, having the bear coming back on him. Grim swiped at the bear's face as it tried to bite him and had it reeling back from the strike shaking its head. Eyes bleeding as they were cut into from his nails and from Ark's attack. Of all things that could happen, rain began falling heavily.
Thunder and lightening clapped the skies. The rocks and stones became slick and the Bully's hadn't been trained in such conditions yet. They'd slip and fall, getting scrapes and cuts from their own failure to not slip. Grim panted heavily as his body yearned for more air, chest burning and pained. His gash in his lower back had his hind legs shaking.
His front right shoulder shaking from the pain from the gash there as well. Freke was suddenly thrown as he had lost his traction on a slick boulder and was placed unconscious on the ground. The Bully's had no one to tell them what to do. The Deus was busy trying to save her own self as she was pinned against the cliff wall and the bear. Ark was working hard to get the bears attention and it had worked but for a heartbeat.
Grim moved in then, full sprint and collided into the side of the bear, teeth sinking into its rib cage as his head shook viciously to the side, tearing flesh from it. The bear turned its attention from the Deus who lay on the ground. The bear spun around in place trying to desperately reach for Grim but Grim had placed himself out of reach just below the back rib. A bear's reach couldn't touch him. The bear's elbow rammed him consecutively trying to get him off.
The blows struck his broken ribs and his pain tolerance had left as air was knocked from him. His frame dropped to the ground staggeringly. Another blow from the bear to his left shoulder had him sent over the rocks and into Freke's body. Freke came back too and saw Grim in a bloody heap on top of him. "Oh god! Grim?! Grim!"
Grim came back to himself to stare at Freke, eyes still darkened. "It's..almost dead..." He'd wheeze painfully as he got back to his paws. The Bully's payed the price for being untrained in the rain and were dispatched from the fight by the bear. Freke gasped and made a move to go to them but Grim moved his frame to block him. "Three are still alive...They need...Moira. Take em..!" He'd pant painfully as he coughed and blood trickled down his jaw.
Freke saw that he was fighting with everything he had. To protect him and the Deus as he was instructed.
"Have my back!" Freke moved over the rocks as Grim remained where he was to watch.
The bear was fighting only Ark as Grim searched for the Deus and saw her hobbling away. Almost dragging herself at times. What had happened that he didn't see?! He'd watch as Ark fought the bear and was flung in a downward attack, striking the ground with a sickening crack, mud splashing up with blood mixed in. Lightening cracked and Grim was on the bear to save Ark, pulling at its ear and shaking his head.
The bear rose up in an anguished roar and twisted around to shake its head to throw off Grim before using his claws to swipe at the massive wolf. Grim fell back, narrowly missing another attack to his body, sliding down the back of the bear and snapping at its already injured leg. He'd dig into the bend once again though that had been a mistake. The bear lost its balance and slipped, toppling backwards. Ark pushed himself up from the ground shakily and saw the bear collapse upon the Deus. His heart stopped and a yelping cry came from his throat. "Dionysia!!!"
Freke, the Bully's and the whole area seemed to freeze in time as Grim stood there staring at what just happened. His paws moved forward slowly as Ark bounded over to his mate screaming her name. "Dion! Dion! No! Dionysia!"
The bear gave ragged breathes and a last guttural growl, it's body too weak to really stand anymore. Its efforts of attack were gone as it had used up the last bits of strength. Grim would stand behind Ark staring down at the Deus, his darkened gaze starting to turn back into its formally bright golden gaze, excitement filled from battle. Dion gurgled as blood leaked up and was sent out as her body retched. Her breathing was strangled and becoming nonexistent.
Her words that were on the last of her breath reached his ears above the screaming from Ark. "I'm so proud of you...Grim. I love you...Ark."
She gurgled trying to speak one last time but her body wouldn't allow it. Her heart stopped and her air wheezed from her in a wet hiss as her eyes remained open when she passed. Ark was a sobbing mess and his mental state suddenly snapped. He went insane in a heartbeat and he trying to take Dion's body from the six hundred pound bear. He fought and fought but it was to no avail.
He turned to Grim with wide eyes and Grim wasn't sure if he was angry or insane. "You...! You killed her...!"
Freke stood there by Moira watching the scene unfold as Ark approached Grim stealthily and slow. He was going to attack him!
Grim remained quiet as he backed away, the sudden death and the accident replaying on his mind. He.. He hadn't meant for the bear to do that. He tried to..save her and him! "I did what I was ordered..."
Ark launched an attack at Grim and Grim didn't block but only flee as claws came across his eyes. "I'm going to kill you!" Ark howled as Grim ran.
Grim spun around then and wrapped his teeth over the new Deus's muzzle and clamped down, not letting Ark have anymore say and only thrash about. This was what split Grim and the pack. Freke saw then what Grim had been trying to explain. He was mentally deranged, just like the bear. Ark recoiled, ripping his muzzle from out of Grim's hold, skin torn and nose ripped. He huffed and panted staring at Grim with rage before he crumpled to the sodden ground crying. "She's gone! She's gone!"
Grim rejoined Freke, the Bully's that were alive, and Moira to get treated out of ear shot or eyesight of the new Deus. As the storm raged on night came and the small group bundled up together to keep warm though Ark remained with Dion's body atop the hill. The next morning came and Grim saw a figure coming down from the hilltop. It was Ark wearing the pelt of Dion covered in blood. He had tore at the bear all night and skinned her corpse to take her and make her into a cape. Ark wasn't himself even then and looked far worse than the day before. He approached the small group of what was left of his beloved mates pack. "You can do as you wish. Follow me or leave. Just know that I don't stand for backstabbers who kill their Deus!" His piercing red gaze aimed at Grim who lay there calmly. Ark padded off into the forest back towards the pack home.
"Right now?!" Moira asked feeling confused.
Ark didn't respond and kept on walking. Grim rose exhaustively, legs still shaking from his wounds. "I won't be... going back. Not to him," His voice dark and wheezing as he'd look to the medic and Freke. "Y'all do... as you wish. I'm going by.... myself."
Moira stopped the massive male with an argumentative tone. "You are still too injured to move!"
"I can take care of myself, Moira," he'd counter and stare at the female medic for a moment as he took in a shallow but ragged couple of breaths. He could see she was worried about him and his wounds. His body was tricky and treating him was always different. "Take care of...Freke and the Bully's. Thank you for.....all you've done for me, Moira." He'd turn to Freke and smile to him. "You too, Freke. I hope.....that you heal and find another..... pack that's got a better..... leader."
The Bully's lay there watching the massive fighter leave them and looked to Freke confused. "What are we going to do now?"
Freke and Moira looked to them before looking at one another. "We make a life for ourselves else where. It's what we have to do to survive."
Stage 2
Grim wandered the beach shoreline, sniffing here and there picking up old stale scents. His gaze darkened and his aura cold. His body had healed nicely and scars to go along with it. Excellent. Though why of all places had he come to the beach for?
This wasn't a place he liked being in. The sun was annoying and his body was too hot for his liking. He stuck beneath the shade of the trees. Faces and conversations would come to mind of wolves he recalled but didn't know where he remembered them from. How had he known them?
Was that why he was there? He had met these wolves?
The male would relax beneath the trees clumped together as the ocean made its daily sounds. The urge for water came to him strongly and he'd rise once more to seek out the giant waterfall with its clean water source. After taking his fill and cooling off his frame would leave the rushing rapids and his pillars seemed to know exactly where they were going and brought him into the camp of a pack that resided there. Wolves perked up and greeted him happily, brushing against him. Eh?
Why? Who? They knew him. How strange. It was like he was a part of this pack and faces began popping up in the pack that he had recalled. He had conversations with these wolves trying to better understand himself and realized that he had missing chunks of time in his life. Would he ever get them back with the help of these wolves that he had come to befriend?
Day by day he spent talking with the pack mates and getting to know them again. Though his mind still remained the same. They worked with him trying to help his mind return but it was no use. Grim wasn't even sure just how to get what he lost back. He lounged in the shade of a tree near the beach watching the ocean wash over the shore when a figure caught the corner of his eye. He'd turn and see a smaller female making her way over to him timidly. She was...cute! Really cute! So small! His tail wagged behind him as she approached. "Hi there...." Came his awkward greeting towards the small brown and white female. Freckles dotted her muzzle and cheeks under her eyes and Grim's cheeks went flush beneath his thick fur.
"I heard what happened. You really don't remember?" Auridae asked as she'd settle close but not by him. "Not even me?"
Grim lay there staring at her. Her face was sad. So sad and worried. He'd nod and look out towards the ocean. "I'm sorry. It seems that...I only recall...Hecatomb but not...not here. I don't recall ever joining Intrepidus or meeting you but oddly enough I remember your face, along with a few others. I know you but then again I don't." He'd turn to her looking unsure. "Is that confusing? It really is for me."
Auridae would nod but rise to draw closer to him. "I'm Auridae. We're...friends. We've taken walks on the beach and you've even taken me, Olimpia, and a few of the other females out for long walks because...you're someone we can trust."
Grim stared at her rather surprised to hear that anyone trusted him to go out with him. Even for something as a walk. He was shocked. "So we're friends? Do I.." He'd pause not sure if he should be asking her this because..hell she might not know either. "Have a mate? Did I have one?"
Auridae fidgeted in place nervously and blushed. She'd shake her head at him. "I..ummm...We..." She'd look off towards the camp. "Talked about that for a moment one night or so."
"Oh?" He had talked about having a mate with her? Though who exactly had he asked to be his mate. "Who was I talking about having a mate with?" Was it with...her? Her?! If it was Auridae.. he felt his heart increase in speed as he'd think about things and fantasies. He'd chuckle to himself.
"Umm," She'd say and look to him curiously. "It was with me..."
He could die! Literally die right where he was! Oh god! His jaw opened a bit in surprise. He had asked her?! The small petite figure of a female and probably the smallest in the pack from what he had seen! Speechless. No words came to him for a moment as he tried to gather his fantasies and throw them off. "Yeah..? That was...How did it go? Did we decide?"
That was pointless. The question. She had just called him a 'friend' a moment ago. Auridae shook her head to him. Why hadn't he said yes?!
Idiot!
She could've been snatched right beneath his eyes! What the fuck was he even thinking letting her slip away like that?! What had he even been thinking?! What exactly had he been doing in this pack up until now? Taking long strolls with a lot of females and talking.
Making friends. Why? There must've been a purpose. A reason behind doing all of that? As they sat in silence for a moment a curious question came to mind. "Did you want me as a mate?"
Auridae stared at her paws timidly. Nerves and emoitions going through her. Her paws played with the grass at her paws. "Y-Yes...B-b-....I gave you...the option.."
Option of...deciding? He'd stare at her then blankly. Deciding how or when they'd be mates?
"You said..umm...you know.." She stammered glancing at him embarrassed.
Something in him pricked and perked at the statement. He'd put his head close to hers then observing how she was acting. Something more? "Ohhh?" He'd inquire darkly and grin. "What exactly did I say? Come now, my dear. I don't have my memories to help out with this..."
Auridae felt herself unable to go on with the conversation. Her mind. She'd chuckle nervously and push his face away. "Haha..Grim, you know full well...! You can't be completely lost.." She'd look at him concerned. "Can you?"
He'd press closer to her with a smirk. "Who knows? I might be more lost than I thought because I really don't remember this conversation or you but..I am really drawn to small things like you."
He'd might as well enjoy this since she was attracted to him just the same. She also had more information and it was for his benefit though he didn't have the need to use her. No it was different. He actually was compelled to not hurt her but to love and adore her. Cherish her.
He'd give her a moment to gather herself. He could see how he affected her and he loved it. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing her fidget. He'd get to his paws and stretch his heavily scarred muscular body. "Well, since we have more talking to do on this so called subject of ours, shall we take a nice stroll and see where it takes us?"
Hopefully some place secluded and nice. The perfect spot came to mind then and he'd snicker. Ohh, yes, the perfect spot to have a nice last bit of discussion with the petite Auri.
"Yes!" She'd agree immediately, needing the distraction of the area around her to get control of herself. "I-I would love too!"
She was suddenly plucked up by her scruff and began seeing the world hurtle by in a blur. Grim had picked her up so quickly and carried her without effort. She'd blush deeply. So much for taking time to gather herself! Why did he do this to her?! The two took some time under the shade of densely growing trees and tall grass behind a lip of a hill together. "I say I'll take you as a mate and claim you here. How's that sound?" His deep voice purred into her ear as he nuzzled into her neck. "I was such a fool to not do it sooner. Small things just can't be passed up."
Auridae would nuzzle back into him. She didn't have a problem with that. She had been wanting that since she met him. "T-That's fine!" She'd stammer back and smile. She'd be getting what she wanted and so would he though...how exactly was this helping his memories? She'd look at him and smile.
It wasn't until the next day that Grim was up and going with Auri. He'd look out over he beach beneath the trees and nudge his mate. "Hey, it's a little after morning."
Auri awoke in his fluff to look out sleepily. "Eh?" Her jaws would part in a yawn and she'd stretch. "We need to head back."
He would nod in agreement and rise. Head bent he'd lick her head and lead the way. It wasn't until she shot ahead of him wanting to play. "Hey! Lets play a game? How about you find me?!"
He'd stare at her rather confused. "Uhh...Ok? Sure..?" What exactly was this supposed to do? He'd shrug to himself and allow her to play her game. "I'll give you a head start. Go!"
Auri raced off giggling and disappeared from view. Grim checked the area and everything was good. He'd proceed to follow her tracks. He said he'd play but not go by the rules. He drew closer to where she had been. "Auriii?" He'd call out before he'd dive into the bushes she had been in. Nothing.
He'd look around and continue to follow her steps as it went to the falls. She was trying to lose him. How cute. His nose perked at the scent of a male yet it was old. By a few days.
No...by two.
That was close and it was on the trail the pack usually took. His thoughts raced then with worry for the pack. For Auridae. He'd need to warn her. "Auridae?" He'd call out bounding through the rapids easily before coming out the other side. Her tracks were gone. His heart raced as worry gripped him. "Auri?!" He'd race on down the trail as quickly as he could calling for her.
Nothing.
Had the male gotten her?! He stopped then as a new scent struck him. He'd sniff a few bushes and following the trail. It was only one day and there were still tracks. Grim placed his paw down next to it to size the male up.
He was half his height and half his weight. A push over. Yet he couldn't ignore this loner. He'd turn to race on towards the camp. Surely she had reached that?! Though upon reaching camp she wasn't there.
No one had seen her since yesterday.He fled from the camp heading back to the falls. He'd bark out loudly for her. Auridae gave a yelp in the far distance. "Help me! Grim!"
His fears had come true!
While Grim had left the falls the male had come from the hills and had pounced on Auridae. He had been tracking her, waiting for her to be alone. He'd drag her off away from the path to somewhere else on the beach. Now reunited with his lovely pet he'd make her know that she belonged to him by mating with her by force, pinning her down and not letting her go. Her male that she called for wouldn't be around to save her like she wanted. There was no way he'd be able to track them! Marco laughed at his full proof plan of having them take the beach sands and washing themselves in the ocean water as it struck them. "No one's going to save you! You know how long I've been stalking your pack to get you alone?! I'll make you know full well that your body is mine! You are mine! You are to never leave me , ever, again!"
Auridae cried and pleaded for him to let her go. Leave her be but he only did as he pleased with her.
Grim strode across the beach sands with long strides, eyes pinned upon the figure mounting Auridae. His eyes had changed to a even darker gold color. He had thrown away his sense and allowing his anger and rage take control. His body hurtled over the beach sand to rush up on the busy male. His jaws would grab the males tail and haul him off of his mate.
His muscled back legs pushing him up the hill of sand pulling the male away from Auridae.
"You're mine!" He'd snarl coldly as his back leg shot out and back kicked the male in the jaw sending him into the sand.
Marco got back to his paws quickly looking rather rough shod and surprised by the sudden attack. He'd snarl at the huge male that had disturbed him. "Who the fuck are you?!"
He'd stare at the male in silence. "Someone that'll be killing you." His reply was dark and cold.
Marco launched himself at Grim to try and skull bash his face before attacking his side and try to tackle Grim. Grim went with the punches and fell to the ground with the male atop him. Marco looked pleased with himself. "Well?! What do you have to say for yourself?! You're about to die!"
Grim gave a smirk at the male. "I would say that to you and I'm the one that means it!"
Grim took hold of the males right leg rolling over and getting to his paws, teeth clamped to the foreleg tightly. He'd spin in place causing the male to be swing onto Grim's back and was slammed onto the sand with Grim's body landing on Marco's right shoulder. An audible pop could be heard as it was dislodged from its socket. The massive male got back to his paws as Marco howled in pain.
"Bastard!" He'd pant with his right leg hanging limply. "You'll pay for that!" Marco would launch himself full force towards Grim, colliding into him and grabbing his neck of muscle.
He'd try going for the throat but Grim used his back legs to send them into the ocean water as it crashed down upon them. Grim wrenched himself free of the males grip and used his back legs to pound out kicks into the males stomach, having the male lose all breath. As the surf receded Grim stood as the male stumbled trying to gather breath. Grim took the chance to collide with the male, sending him off his feet and crashing into a surf beaten boulder. Grim's jaws clamped around the throat of the male and held it shut, choking the male of air.
He wasn't about to live after treating his mate the way he had! Marco struggled against Grim's bulk, but his legs did little against the male. He was the one that was really going to die! He'd look towards Auridae for help, pleading with his eyes. She began going hazy.
Marco felt his energy leave him as he'd stare at the massive male. How he hated him! Though he could see just why Auridae had chosen him. He had a good cold spirit and had the same need for blood as him. Though...holy shit he was far worse than himself and that scared him.
He wanted to say the last words, for Aridae but the male tightened his grip. Marco's eyes bulged.His throat gurgled as he spit up water from his lungs. Was this how it felt to die?! Before he'd ponder anymore he was gone. Grim stood there for a few minutes more as the surf crashed against him.
Auridae stared at them both waiting the end. Grim tossed the limp and un-breathing body of Marco away from him. Where it landed he didn't give a slight shit. He'd pad over to him, sniffing, making sure the piece of shit was dead before lifting his leg and peeing on him. "Be glad I'm pissing on you at least," he'd grumble. "I'd much rather preferred to rip you limb from limb but Auri is here. She doesn't need to see that. Though it'd be pleasant to see your face as I'd give you your own beating heart."
He'd return to Auri with blood trickling down his soaked fur from the water. "You ok?"
Auri would perk at suddenly being spoken towards and look up to to greet his head. "I'll be fine." She crawled over to him and nuzzled into his large frame. "The more important question is are you alright?" Her eyes shone with worry.
Grim put a large paw over her back and brought her closer into him. "I'm fine. If you think I'll die from this crap, think again."
It was at that moment that his pounding head seemed to explode in pain, his figure raising up in pained yelps and howls as he rubbed his head on his forelegs. He'd feel his chest give a stabbing pain causing him to flinch and choke in his cry. His body falling to the sands onto his side, eyes open, his body not moving. Not breathing.
Auridae cried out to him. "Grim?! I thought you said you'd be ok?!" She'd push on his side repeatedly, crying his name. Desperately trying to wake him. Help was too far away and she couldn't just leave him! "Grim! Grimoire!"
Her paws beat into his body with everything she had despite her crying figure. He said he wouldn't..!
Stage 3
He was just suspended in darkness. He'd look around and suddenly see himself going through his life, his memories. Reliving everything yet it all sped up. It was like things flashing by him yet he knew what it was without even having to really look. Past his birth, past his almost death from being saved by rapids of rushing water, past Hecatomb, past the other packs that he had come in contact with.
Then Intrepidus. He'd watch how bad things happened but would get better in the end. Sounds of pawsteps had him twist around to see shapes forming and becoming solid. He was surprised to see that it was all of the wolves he had known in his life that had passed away. A tall male approached with a female that was half his size. "Well, well," grinned the male as he looked Grim over. "Who knew Tortras would get to be as strong as he is? As a father I'm proud to have you as my son despite not being alive to watch you grow up. Me and your mother though made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of your life. As a parent, we knew one or two of our pups would survive to live on. I made my choice to toss you into the rapids. Your mother grabbed your cousin and ran off with him."
Grim stared at his father not sure what to say. "My cousin? Wait..How would you even know I'd survive? I could've died to that waterfall!"
Grim's father Varoanto smiled at his son. "It was a hope. It's all any parent has for thier pups when in dire."
It was rather surprising that Grim's parents even held so much hope over a single pup like himself. "Why not my other siblings?! Why not choose them?! Why did it have to be me?!"
Cana spoke then with a gentle soft voice. "Your father saw himself in you. He put you over the others after you were born. I asked him the same question and that was his reply. He said you would be a strong figure in the pack or in your own pack, where ever you were. He knew you had gotten the family curse just by seeing your coat color." She'd rub against him lovingly. "I was the one that was so scared for you. Seeing you get tossed like that. My hope for you was diminished and I chose Talon, my sisters son to carry on the family line eventually. You both were a few months apart but there's always some pack that would take in a pup."
He'd raise his forepaw to wrap around his mothers leg. "I defied the odds out of another wolf's kindness."
"Mine," spoke a female with a gruff voice. "You turned out to be quite the fighter when I found you."
Grim turned to see Monasiel. He'd smile and greeted her by placing his head upon hers. "It's good to see you again, Mona!"
She'd look up at him. "You are the best sight of all, Grim. I'm proud that you took up courage to leave my body behind and seek out a life. Not many pups can do that. You have a strong fighting spirit within you. Remember what I'd whisper to you when you were healing?"
"Never let go of the light that I have because it might be important to someone one day." Grim looked upon the frail female.
“Now it isn’t someone for you. It’s many.” Monasiel said with a warm smile. “It’s far more than I thought would be in front of you, Grim.” The female placed her head against his muscled left shoulder. “Keep defying those odds and stay strong for us. For everyone. Everyone that’s called upon you. Protected you. Shared their lessons with you. Never forget them and share on what you know.”
He placed his muscled jaw atop her head and gave a deep, “I already have. I will keep on until I can’t share anymore.”
“Monasiel was a blessing for us,” Cana said quietly as she gazed upon the female. “Without her being where she was, you would’ve surely died.”
Grim was suddenly struck across the face. He’d look in surprise to Dionysia who grinned at him. “Well, well, you’ve gotten taller since we last met I think.”
He’d stand there staring at her in solemn recollection. “I’m so sorry, Dion. That bear-” She snapped cutting him off. “Who fucking cares?!”
She’d give a snort and stalk about in front of him looking off in no particular area before looking at him again. “You did what you were told to do! I even told you I’d probably die!”
He’d argue with her on that one, “I killed you!”
“Silence!” she snarled with a snap of her jaws. “I got killed because of my foolish decisions and inability to get the fuck out! After my legs got broke and fractured I knew I was fucked. It wasn’t because of you, Grim! You killed that damn bear all for me!” She stepped towards him and peered up at his face. “You tried saving me. Believe it or not, you did far more than Ark, the dumb ass!”
Grim would crack a chuckle and stare at her fondly. He’d missed her. She’d stare back at him before drawing closer and placing her head against his neck and begin crying. Grim looked at her back as he listened to her cry. “Dion? Please don’t…”
“I’m…” she blubbered between gasps, “I was so horrible to you! Yet you followed me still! You took my torture and you made it fun! It wasn’t meant to be…!”
She pressed into him and wrapped a paw around his left muscled foreleg because she wasn’t tall enough to hug him. “I’m so proud of you! Please forgive me, Grim? You really aren’t a cold-hearted wolf like I told you when you were a pup! You can stop believing in that! No one is…not even me! You big fool…Please…?! Please forgive me!”
Grim fought back the urge to cry that had his eyes watering. Her pleas were something he had always dreamt of when he’d dream about her last moments. Now he was standing there with her and hearing them for himself. Grim lifted his right front leg to drape over her shoulders as his head draped over her neck. His voice cracking as he struggled to speak, “I know I’m not. I know this. I’ve already forgiven you. I even forgave Ark, as much of a struggle that was.” He cracked and let himself cry. Of all the memories he had of Hecatomb and of Dionysia. All the fun and hardships. “It’s ok, Dion. Mother. You’ve shown me how to live and fight. You’ve shown me a lot of things that I’ll never forget. I’ll always cherish and pass on to those around me. Even to pups that aren’t or are mine.”
He’d look over to the others that were there from his experiences in life. “I’m really…lucky! You all told me so many things before you passed! I’m sorry…that I’ve not thought about each of you more. Though I have brought up lessons that I’ve learned and taught others in your memories. You’re all still with me and always will be…” He’d rest his head upon Deus Dionysia as he wept.
“Grimoire,” Dion said with a cracked and soft voice as she looked up to him. “I never gave you my last blessing to rank you up from Gladiator. I was trying to say that before I died but…I here by announce, I, Deus Dionysia, leader of the Hecatomb Pack, that Grimoire of Hecatomb Pack be promoted. Gladiator Grimoire, you are hereby Reaper Grimoire of Hecatomb Pack for your valiance, honor, and loyalty to your pack! Your strength and will to fight has served Hecatomb and made your Deus proud!” Deus Dionysia drew away from him to allow Grim to bow his head to her. “Bow your head so that I may seal this blessing upon you.”
Grim felt himself cry harder as his head lowered to look at her paws. Her muzzle pressed against his head with a light bump.
“May you live a life of honor and loyalty to the new pack that you serve and leave a trail of justice behind you.” Dion began to fade away into nothing as her last undying wish had come true. She got to give him what she had been regretting all this time.
Grim watched in surprise as she faded away. She gave him a warm smile, something he hadn’t seen since he was a pup, before she was gone. He turned to his mother and father to have them touch his head too, “May the Drandos be strong in your blood and be carried on for a long time. Our curse being given to you. May you find a way to break it and give our blood lineage new light.”
His mother began to speak then, “May you live a long and healthy life to watch over your family and friends. May you be strong for those that can not be. Give others strength and lead them where they can’t decide.”
Grim watched them fade away as Dion had. He’d then watch as the other wolves began to fade too. Grim was left alone in the darkness. No direction or place to go. “What am I to do now?!” He barked with his voice echoing out around him.
A bright light would envelope him from below causing him to yelp in surprise. He suddenly was dropped, falling back to the earth. He could see himself and Auridae on the beach. How she was crying over his body and trying to wake him. It pained him to see her like that, not knowing what he’d just gone through.
“Auridae!”
Auridae lay atop Grim’s chest with her head resting in its side to hear his heartbeat. It had been silent for a bit now. Her voice cracked as she spoke. “Grim, please come back…”
A thump was heard then causing her to sniffle and blink. What? She looked around confused. Nothing was there but what was the thump? She placed her head back upon Grim’s chest to hear thumps again.
Realizing then that it was the heartbeat that she had been listening for. “Grim?!”
His chest began to lift and fall like nothing had happened. He stirred slowly and gave a yawn, body stretching as if he had awoken from a nap or sleep. “Hey there!” His thick, long fluffy tail wagging.
She enveloped him in a hug. “ Grim! You’re alright! I was so worried!” she whimpered licking his cheek. “What happened?! Are you sure you’re ok?!”
He’d look around at the beach that they were on. Things slowly flooding back to him. “I’m back. I remember everything. I got a long story to tell you too.”
Auridae stared at him for a moment. “You remember? Really? Wait…” His tone was just like before, the usual deep tone that was calm.
“I’m so sorry for worrying you,” Grim rose with a slight struggle to nuzzle her petite figure. “I’m glad to be back among the living so to say.”
“I’m glad you’re back too. My heart felt like it was being strangled when you were gone. You were out cold for so long…”
Grim settled against her for a moment on the beach to snuggle. He’d wrap his tail about her side. “I’m alright now. I’ll be standing tall for you for a long time to come, Auri.” He then saw the kind of shape they were in. “Well, now the next thing to think about is what Olive will say about us.”
Auridae paused and realized the shape that they were both in. Grim being worse than her. “Ah…”
The two made their way back to the pack to only be chewed upon by the medic Olimpia by her words of what healing she'd have to do and all the herbs she had to use. Though as she got to Grim, her words were a bit more harsh and stabbing. Grim was happy though. Much happier than he'd ever been. He'd turn to Olimpia as she was tending to his bite wound on his neck and smile. "Thanks, Olive. I missed you."
She'd only stare at him in confusion. "What the hell even happened out there?! Grim! You're to stay in the medic den until I see you're fully healed! No wandering from camp! Got that?!"
He'd only smile and nod to lay his head upon his forepaws. "Aye, my olive, aye." His golden gaze staring at his beloved mate Auridae, cherishing how she looked as she'd giggle at Olimpia's words towards him.
AND THUS CONCLUDES THE RP!!!! (I should've finished this months ago!)
Backstory
Tortras was birthed by Cana in Redmoon Pack. Fathered by Alpha Varoanto. Redmoon Pack was taken over by Vahegod who lead the Darkmist Pack when Tortras was only six months old, almost seven months. Vahegod crippled the Alpha and had Tortras fight his older son Goranya who was nine months old. Tortras almost died to Goranya if his father hadn't rescued him.
Varoanto tossed his son into the swift rapids while he sacrificed himself and the pack to stop Vahegod. The juvenile was beat up by the rocks of the rapids and was taken over the ridge of the tallest waterfall. The young male was found by a kind female wolf who was dying of an illness. His memory lost, the female loner Monasiel named the pup Grimoire due to his grave injuries that almost killed him. Once Grim healed, he had turned seven months, Mona succumbed to her illness and died leaving Grim to become a loner and wander about with no direction.
He was picked up by Lady Cazatella of the Intrepidus Pack. He remained there for a few months, turning 1 years old before he wandered off again. He felt like it wasn't the pack for him.
Grimoire ran across Deus Dionysia and her pack of Hecatomb Children. There he grew up into a strong and abnormally tall fighter. Dion treated Grim like he was her own son, training him and rearing him. Dion's life ended tragically in a fight with a bear who had a mental disease in the rain. The bear fell upon her body causing the Alphess to have broken ribs that pierced her lungs.
She drowned on her own blood while the pack tried in vain to chase the bear away. The Alphess's mate Arktophonos took up leadership but went insane at the loss of his beloved. The pack shattered and Grimoire now wanders about as a Loner once again. Wandering about he ran across a pack that wasn't anything like the Hecatomb Children and on a much lesser scale of danger. He gave a shrug of his heavily scarred shoulders and took the plunge of seeking out a new home within the W|ild O|nes Pack, taking up the rank of Praetorian which was a fighting rank.
As days go by the brute makes friends with the wolves of the pack, finding strengths and weaknesses of others. Even seeing a few flirtations directed towards him. Maybe, just maybe, it would be kind of nice to have a family. He'd fought and battled for ranks most of his life. A family is what he hadn't had yet but who would the large male choose?
His bloody background and dangerous life style within the Hecatomb Children just might come in handy if not give him bad dreams at night.
A family would be nice but it wasn't within the W|ild O|nes Pack. He left the pack wandering off in search of another home as he took up his loner title once again. While walking a dusty path that other wolves and animals had taken a female called out to him with a growl of warning. Grim looked up to see a familiar female coming towards him. Her scent triggered a far away memory to return, seeing a previous pack that he had been in a long time ago. "Lady Cazatella," he breathed deeply and bowed his skull to her in respect. "It's I, Grimoire." He rose again to stand tall over her for the Alpha to look him over.
The leader stay as she was staring at him in confusion though she recalled the name. "Ah!" She exclaimed in shock at the massive male before her. "Grim! Look at you!"
The two wolves sat in some tall grass beneath a tree catching up on what had happened in Grim's life. It was finally Caza's turn to be told the grim news of what happened to her best friend Dionysia. Caza told Grim what had happened to the pack after he had left and all the troubles they had faced. Grim saw that the pack needed strength and help and decided to rejoin forces of the Intrepidus.
Grim now wanders the borders of the pack territory, looking after the members with a keen eye, sharing a few words to them here and there. As a few months of him being there to a year he found love, more friends and saw more drama. Though after his love interest went missing he became depressed. Sitting on the highest hills in the territory looking out towards the ocean in a long off daze. He'd spend his days like that, barely talking to anyone.
His mind made up, the large male left the pack and the territory before dawn broke over the mountains. His strides long and quick. His heart was heavy from doing this as memories went through his head each passing minute. "I'm sorry. Don't forgive me, my Lady." His form in full run now. He put some distance between himself and the Intrepidus turning into a Loner once again.
After a few weeks of being away he got himself into a bit of a pickle as he was accused of a crime he didn't commit by a group of hunters. Their accusation was raiding their territory of food and he had just gotten there. Grim tried to talk things out but the hunters pulled him off to their Alpha who stared at him like an idiot. She had him as prisoner and was forced to be held in a cave, being fed mice. The Alpha, Kat, would make small visits to him once in a while and snuggle up to his side.
Grim saw what was going on and told her that her false accusations and prison sentence wasn't something that was glorified nor was it appreciated to someone like him. He wasn't about to be held down to only be treated like a toy to someone like her. Kat grew furious and ordered that Grim was to be starved before leaving the cave. It was a couple of days later that things changed. Rumors began to fly around the pack about something that had happened to a pack called Intrepidus.
A Guard would be stationed outside the cave entrance to watch Grim and to keep others from giving him food. Grim caught bits and pieces of the information as he lay on the hard stone floor. "Hey," Grim said deeply towards the male called Azul who turned to fix him with a glare. "What's this about a pack called Intrepidus?"
Azul would remain silent for a moment. "Why does it concern you?" Before Grim could respond Azul spoke again. "Ah, apparently they've been spreading lies and treating their pack members that are of high rank terribly. A pack called Vailiance is spreading the truth about them. Packs like that shouldn't be around! Like this pack, this pack is one of the better ones even though it's small."
Grimoire narrowed his gaze at this statement with disgust and anger. "Where did this pack, Vailiance, come from?"
"They were the members of Intrepidus. Even the Alpha. After what the first Alpha said to them Vail took what pack mates didn't want to be a apart of the abuse and left. I congratulate him!" Azul spoke sharply but highly about Vail and his new pack. "They seem strong too! I wonder if Kat will ally with them?"
Grim layed there in utter hatred but filled more so with worry. What had happened to the pack? More rumors flew the longer he was away and it angered him more and more.
The day when Azul turned into a wolf eating monster and tried to eat a pup-sitter named Skyla and a pup called Lynn had Grimoire up in hackles with teeth raised. No Guard could stop Azul and no warrior stood a chance that tried and ended up with injuries that they couldn't handle, the pain was too much for them. Grim left the cave to go up in fits of rage and pent up anger at the half insane Guard Azul. The fight lasted ten minutes before Grim pinned the Guard and took him by the neck to only throw him off the cliff side to the slope of rocks below where Azul's body bounced and rolled. Kat was about to punish the prisoner when the pack went up in arms at the thought and defended Grim.
Grimoire was gone then before anyone could thank him. He was headed back to Intrepidus, back to Kiwimbi Beach as fast as he could, wounds still fresh and open. The pain forgotten. All he could think about was the state of the pack. It took two days of travel with no rest, like Grim could sleep anyway, to return to Intrepidus. Upon arrival his wounds were nothing but small cuts, not having been very deep in the first place, he was approached by Lady Cazatella who seemed surprised by his appearance. "I thought you left?!"
"I'm back now. I'm staying. This pack still has loyalty and wolves that still speak the truth!" Grim would go on to tell Caza what all he had heard when he was away.
After Grim returned the few days of work to tend to the members became rather depressing as Grim saw just how much damage Vail had done when he was gone. He made friends with Olimpia, Olive, as he calls her. While hanging with her he met another new face named Auridae. It wasn't long before Grim had a relationship built between the two though odd occurrences had happened between him and Olive. The relationship was good but...complicated.
As for him and Auridae it was good and going well. It actually surprised him to hear her say that she liked him a lot. He hadn't even thought that she had a thing for him and it would just be one sided. The two explained their past loves, well for Grim it wasn't much of anything nor was it good. Auridae felt for him which had him draw closer to the dame, his interest turning into a crush for the small female.
She was so cute when she'd open herself to him!
After a while of getting to know everyone his memories relapsed and left him due to things happening between Auridae and Grim. After some drama and Grim choosing Auri as his mate he ended up dying just briefly. After that things have gone back to normal. He leaves the territory randomly on small trips that last a few weeks at a time but this recent one lasted about a month long. He returned to see that his mate was devastated by his absence and was leaning on others for support.
He reappeared to her to tell her what had happened to have him disappear. After a bit of crying and comforting Auridae was better and perked up more than she had been. Grim was pleased to see that his mate wasn't so depressed and down any longer. It's how he wanted to see her everyday, happy and cheerful like the day they met.
Intrepidus had grown too big for their territory and needed a new place. Grim however didn't feel like going. Auridae and him parted ways. She went with the pack to their new home and Grim became a Loner. He wandered and wander and wandered looking for his past lover Shrew. He wound up in a land called Glykeria and swiftly secured a place alongside a beautiful female that ruled a group called Ruina. After becoming Lord to help her she slipped off and left the lands leaving him alone to do all the work. Grim didn't mind. It was a small group. Though one by one the wolves left and Grim was alone. He met Lord Dax and forged a fast friendship with him by a few meetings. Then on a fateful snowy day he stumbled across his former lover Shrew. Things quickly fell into a whirlwind of romance between them and he became Lord of Solani besides Lord Dax and Dax's mate.
