Ducarius For nearly two days the demonic had been travelling away from his home in search of a pride he had only heard wind of. Not having very many leads as to where this pride might reside he had to take it upon himself to snuff it out. The sun was just rising causing an orange hue along the horizon, marking the time as early morning. The male had made it to the most treacherous land he had been to yet. It was hot, ash lingered in the air, and the terrain was nothing but jagged rocks and cliffs. His paw steps were careful, as to not step on anything sharp or mess up his footing, as he walked deeper into the rocky territory. A territory such as this was used by the Meurtrier pride long ago, it is not impossible for a pride to thrive here..maybe I will get lucky. A small grin formed on his features at the thought of finally reaching his destination.
Once further into the volcanic territory a faint scent caught the guild master's attention. Following his nose he found where the scent was the strongest and stopped. Bingo. Right in front of his paws was a border marking no doubt, the stench of it was all too familiar. A quick scan of the area ahead of him proved to have no bodies walking it, but the boundary marking was relatively fresh, probably from late the other night.. Hm. Plopping his behind down on the grey rock he remained right outside of the border patiently with his head high, waiting, for either an early morning patrol or a wandering subordinate passing by. All of his senses were on constant alert. |

RENO & SLAUGHTER
[/i] Reno said and Slaughter dipped his head. "I hope so-- hey, who's that?" Slaughter was on immediate alert and Reno as well. The dominant flicked his tail for the yellow lion to follow and they approached the demonic, a stranger to their lands. Reno raised his head from a distance as he assessed the situation. They had plopped themselves down at the border and had not moved further. If they wanted trouble, they could have trespassed. "You're on the border of La Morte before the dominant - I, Reno - and warrior Slaughter. What business brings you these ways?" he asked.[/ul][/blockquote] |

Ducarius As two bodies approached him from the distance the demonic remained still, orange eyes fixated on the large winged male. Only once his presence was addressed by the dominant did he rise from his seated position. "My business here is anything but ill intention.. it is to find the Dominant of this pride and speak with him, and here you are." It saved him the trouble of being dragged through the territory with a couple of subordinates to find him. He gave a small nod. "My name is Ducarius Novic, whether you have heard of me or not is unimportant. If you are who I am looking for you will learn more about my intentions of being here...and from the looks of you I believe I may have the correct pride." Indeed this, Reno.. no doubt looked of Donovan blood, but he had to make sure. "So..may I ask you a couple of questions, Reno? He hoped if he gave enough information to satisfy the dominant it would allow him to receive an equal amount of information in return. He was careful not to give too much information out just yet, however. In case this wasn't the male leading the ex-Meutrierians. Eyes shot over to the yellow male called Slaughter, as if wishing for him to be dismissed, but these weren't his subordinates and his gaze quickly met with Reno's once again. Privacy with the dominant was preferred, although only if he was the one he was looking for. If not, well Ducarius was prepared to bugger off.[/blockquote] |

The healer made her way around the volcanic terrain with a content look, though she wasn't near the border, nobody needed her there. Though she just went along the heart of La Morte and waited if anyone needed her.

Ducarius The demonic was pleased with Reno's decision to dismiss Slaughter and promptly began with his questions. "I suspect you are the Donovan that took lead of the.. now ex-Meurtrierians, that followed you here?" And in Meurtrier's old territory no less, how ironic. "May I come in? I have some business i would like to discuss with you." Putting one paw over the border orange eyes remained on Reno as he waited, becoming slightly impatient. His fur was riddled with ash, sticking out in places and not as smooth and glossy as it usually was. His appearance made him look like a wandering rogue, which he supposed he technically was.

Ducarius Straight to the point, eh? but the guild master had a bit of explaining to do to put everything into perspective. Walking alongside Reno he began with, "You and I are very much alike, I lead a guild full of ex-Jaaku members that wish to see the current Jaaku and it's leaders, perish. Some may not come from Jaaku, but many of them hold a personal grudge against them or are simply willing to fight, and have joined under me and my cause." He paused and nodded to himself in thought. "I have heard you hold some sort of grudge against Meurtrier...and that you desire power, perhaps the power that becoming the lord of Meurtrier would grant you with? Correct me if I am wrong." Paws scuffed the earth as he came to a stop and looked Reno in the eyes. "I would like to purpose an alliance between my guild and your pride, as well as make a deal with you. The deal, my subordinates will fight alongside you if yours will fight along side us, and a joint cause. Rid of the Meurtrier and Jaaku leaders, you get Meurtrier and I get the pleasure of having Jaaku in my paws." He chuckled, the excitement was causing him ramble. "But maybe I am getting a bit ahead of myself, it is still a desire for the future as of course right now we could not yet advance upon them.. If you need time to mull it over, I will grant you it and come back another day."[/blockquote] |

RENO
[/i] He trailed and shook his head. It was risky. This guy could be a spy. Reno closed his eyes and continued. "What you purpose is tempting and I would leap on it immediately if my pride wasn't so young. Although our numbers are plenty, it is a risk. For all I know, you could be a spy. We need a way to ensure trust and secure an alliance, if all you say is true."Reno lifted his head and reopened his eyes to gaze around. He knew members of La Morte were around. Patrolling or doing whatever pleased them. It was the way of his pride. To be less strict than Meurtrier, but still prepared for the unknown. His thoughts drifted to Najisi's cubs, born of Ceon. No one but Najisi and he knew this, and perhaps those that came with them when they left Meurtrier. He looked back to Ducarius. "A betrothal between two of our prides young may help secure such an alliance. Or something along those lines." Najisi may not like the idea, but he would talk her into it. It was to aid the pride ultimately, and surely, that was best?[/ul][/blockquote] |

Ducarius The demonic listened to Reno's concerns on the subject and waited until he had finished to respond, and gave a nod. "Yes, this is true. My Guild is also young and although I have a decent number now, it is still growing. I in no way expected to leap into a battle right away with the two powerful prides." Despite this obvious bump in the road Ducarius was pleased to hear that his proposal was tempting, desired even by Reno. "I understand your concern with the possibility that I might be a spy. If I was you I would be suspicious as well." The next thing Reno had mentioned, a betrothal. How interesting. If it was what he had to do to secure the male's trust, so be it. Besides, it would leave them both with more future subordinates. "If that is what needs to be done." He gave a questioning look and flicked his tail, curious. "Did you have someone in mind for this?" Thinking for a moment about who of his guild would be willing to do such a thing, whether Reno's choice was male or female that all decided it. [/blockquote] |

Ducarius "Well that is nearly perfect. One of my females has just recently had my cubs although..." He trailed off "Although I left before I could meet them, so I was unable to count heads and gender. I realize this poses a problem, but because both our litters are so young it gives us time." He thought about what Reno had said about the betrothal for a moment. Honestly for the guild master three was a bit of a big number, he only wanted to have his young interbreed as long as it was absolutely necessary. Ducarius wasn't completely a purist, he could sway and bend a bit but there was a limit. "Would one betrothal suffice? If so, I will arrange to have one of my cubs of the gender opposite to whichever you choose, betrothed to them. I apologize for the inconvenience. If it is alright with you I could remain here until you make your decision so that I may return to my guild and find a suitable match before bringing him or her back here." If not well.. I will remain on the outside your border." He needed this alliance, it was too perfect. Hopefully his own litter wasn't all males or all females, he could be in trouble then if the king here chose the same. [/blockquote] |

Ducarius
The forest demonic gave Reno a nod. "I can agree with you on two betrothals, and thank you for allowing me to stay here. Gives me a chance to better know my future ally and its subordinates." Ducarius was very interested to meet these ex-Meurtrierians, he had never really met anyone that was a member of Meurtrier and at the same time had come to dislike them. "Once you have chosen your cubs, perhaps you or a couple of your subordinates would wish to join me on the trip back to my territory. I would bring them back here with me at the same time I bring my chosen cubs back. I know now where your pride resides, though you do not know of my location. I would think that would be important if you ever needed to get a hold of me. Hm?" The conversation no longer needed to be semi-private and the male wished to go further into their territory to do some recon and possibly meet and greet. As he awaited Reno's response he began to move forward a bit, seeing if Reno would lead the way once again.

RENO DONOVAN
[/i] The farther they got into the territory, the more they'd be noticed. One of the first was Slaughter, the yellow lion. He hesitated, ready to attack, but once he realized that Reno was relaxed there was no need. He got to his paws and began to approach.[/ul][/blockquote] |
