The Cathedral Of Darkness

Everyone does that one horrible thing while they're alive. That thing that they wish they never did. That one little thing, that shuns you from the privilege to live with the members of Among The Fallen. If Dekaye believes you are not worthy enough to live with them, he banishes you to somewhere else. Somewhere far worse than you've ever seen. A place where there's not much sunlight, where most of the trees grow without leaves, where there's no hope. The Cathedral Of Darkness is not a place you want to go. This god-forsaken place is where you go if you've done very, very bad things in your life time. Bad things that you cannot be forgiven for. So, Dekaye banishes you here to rot for what you've done. Living in The Cathedral Of Darkness is like living in a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Well, to some people. The others seem to like it. Those who have a demonic sort of mind, that is. The land is so dark sometimes, you can barley see. To watch the living, they go somewhere they call "The Place Of Relinquished Dreams". It's called that, so they can watch what they could have had. What could have been. The wolves, or cats, here are quite hostile. Like Among The Fallen, they have the power to visit you in your dreams, or while you're awake. If they do visit you, don't consider it a good thing. If they're visiting you, something terrible is probably going to happen.

Where they watch over the living.


The Commander

»Pitch: Pretending not to see this massive black wolf is absolutely impossible, he stands several times taller than the other wolves here in The Cathedral of Darkness and when you see him, its impossible to not know he is the commander around here. Pitch was bannished here when he died in the womb of his mother. He was sent to the stars as just a little fetus and completely helpless, but he grew quickly in the stars before he had been banished to this place. His mother was a vile wolf, who lived alone and often raided the dens of other females, killing their pups and the mothers. His mother hadnt intended to mate, but in one of her dreams she had been taken advantage of by male wolf spirits, the mates and fathers to the many females and pups she had murdered and those males felt the worst punishment for her would be to lose her own pups, but she didnt care that she had pups growing inside her. She fought other wolves, and soon she had miscarried all but one pup, and the gods knew that pup would be Pitch, so they made his mother die in her sleep. Killing him in her womb before he could be born into the world. Once in the stars the gods knew they needed to send him elsewhere. Bannish him completely from the heavens and life, so they sent him to the Cathedral, where he grew. Alone he learned to hate wolves by watching them live, watching them enjoy their lives while he continued to rott in this hell. Now Pitch is the Commander of this place, a scary looking tall male wolf with fire red eyes, that blaze with hatred and anger. He is always surrounded in a black mist, one that flows thru the air around him leerily, adding to the demented look of this foul wolf. He is undoubtably meant to be here and even in this hell, he strikes fear into the wolves who come here.

»Cause Of Death: Died in his mother's womb.

Warriors

»Crusader: Some wolves were just never meant to be born. As far as Crusader goes, this is the perfect statement for him. Wolves fear him, even though he's dead. Crusader is a Dire Wolf. When living, he was one of the last. But now, there's a few still kicking. Even though he's a Dire Wolf, he's not huge. He's very big, but not too big. His whole underside is a light milky-gray color, and the top of his body is a dark gray color. Red fur covers everything in-between the dark gray and light gray colors. It's a dark, faded crimson color. His eyes are a soft, glowing, light yellow-green color. Since The Cathedral Of Darkness isn't very lit, the luminosity is very high in his eyes. Crusader has long whiskers, like a cat. His voice is very seductive and charming. It's kind of hoarse, in a way. Husky, and scratchy like. Two thick scars cut horizontally across the top of his muzzle. Crusader is always very tense when around anyone. It's hard for him to be fully relaxed, and enjoy what's happening. He acts calm when he's talking, and moving around, though. Crusader is very smart. He usually finds some kind of a loop hole in tight situations, or instantly finds his way out of a problem. Although he'd rather rip someone to shreds than talk it over, he'll listen to what they have to say before he attacks. Sometimes they might be useful for information. Crusader has a way with words. He knows how to talk himself out of things, and he knows how to persuade people to do things they don't want too. Bloodthirsty as he is, Crusader wont sit there and pout about how badly he wants to be an alpha. It is what it is. He doesn't need power to leave a memorable impression on people. This wolf didn't have a wretched past. He was just made this way. Crusader's muscular build is quite impressive. He's not bulky, but he's nearly all muscle. He's lean, and has broad shoulders and a broad chest for fighting. His speed is incredible, whether it's straight running, or dodging attacks. He doesn't really like to swim, but he'll do it if he has too. Crusader doesn't care about anything, or anyone. So having a mate and a family never crosses his mind. It gets in the way of his life. He isn't scared of anything. Dying doesn't scare him because he knows what it's like, and the pain is tolerable. Pain is something that Crusader ignores. He doesn't have emotional pain, and physical pain doesn't bother him. As long as the job gets done, he doesn't care what happens. If Crusader was in a pack, he wouldn't last long. Following orders isn't something he likes to do. He's better off on his own, he always has been. Crusader doesn't get lonely, either. He also knows a lot about humans. The human race was a big part of his life, once. But, only a select few know of this, because he doesn't talk about his past. He feels that it'll weaken him. If people know of the events in his past, they can piece things together and find out a weakness. Luckily, no one has any weaknesses against him. Crusader has a high level of knowledge when it comes to the emotional destruction of another's mind. He knows what to do to emotionally cripple someone. He'll ruin your life in a matter of days, if not faster. Crusader lives in The Cathedral Of Darkness for many, many reasons. All of them are good reasons to be put here, too. But no one will know exactly why, because he doesn't talk about his past.

»Oblivion: Oblivion is a large, menacing wolf with a rust-red pelt and piercing dark eyes. He absolutely hates everyone and everything, even the other wolves in the Cathedral. His face is always contorted in a snarling expression of disgust at the idiots he's forced to live with. During his life, Oblivion was a blood thirsty Tribe wolf. Obviously, his murderous lifestyle landed him a place in the Cathedral. As punishment in the afterlife, Oblivion's pelt is stained with his own blood from his death. Unlike most wolves, Oblivion actually thinks The Cathedral is a torturous Hell: not only does he have to live with a bunch of mutts, but he can't kill them since they're already dead.

»Cause Of Death: Killed in battle.


»Blade: Don't get yourself in a fight with Blade. He has a horrible reputation. He is bloodthirsty and extremely muscular. He was banished to the Cathedral for killing an apprentice, because they were being "annoying." Blade has blood red eyes with black outlines, and Jet black fur. In the darkness or in moonlight, His fur gives of a demonic crimson outline. His fur is rough and sharp (that's how he got his name). His sister, Blaize, is as evil as he is, and is proud to be his sister. His teeth can make you bleed just by looking at them, and the same goes for his claws. Truthfully, his only care is his sister, and he will fight to the death for her protection. I wish i could say that he wasn't always this way, but i can't. His father and mother were horrible role mod! els, and that's why he ended up banished.

»Cause Of Death: Strangled to death in a Human trap.


»Inugami: Inugami is arrogant, he loves his name and thinks it fits him perfectly it means 'Dog God'and he loves it. he thinks that means he can 'pass judgment'or kill anyone he wants to and does so freely for no reason at all he's slightly insane loves to fight and doesn't take orders from anyone.He has black eyes and silky black fur with gleaming silver tiger-like stripes in it. he has long sharp teeth and big thick claws. the pupil of his eyes are just a shade lighter than the rest of the black on him. he's half dog half dire wolf. he loves every minute of his evil. he also talks to voices in his head claiming they're the ones he's killed. he thinks he can do anything he wants and go anywhere he wants.

»Cause Of Death: Killed when human blocked off his cave with a rock.


»Blaize: You wouldn't think twice about this shewolf. She is an extremely attractive, athletic, and strong wolf. Her fur shines a vibrant blaze color, and her eyes are orange with red outlines. She is tall, but not a hybrid. Her claws and teeth are like blades, and she is not afraid to fight, but is extremely calm. Her fur is fluffy but her underbelly is white, smooth and glossy. She is always trustworthy, but has a hint of mysteriousness, and isn't afraid to laugh in the face of danger. Blaize is extremely fast, and she gets that from her dead father, who was a cheetah-wolf hybrid. Her mother, a regular wolf, had the exact same color of fur as Blaize. Never underestimate this Shewolf, because before you can think twice, you probably will be dead.

»Cause Of Death: Killed for murdering wolves.


»Laulu: Don't look at Laulu in the eyes. Once you catch a glimpse of her angelic beauty, you will automatically be hypnotized. Of course, that is on her decision. If she thinks you shouldn't be hypnotized, then you won't. Simple as that. Her fur is like a snow leopards, except that it has black stars and moons instead of spots. But just because she LOOKS so pretty, doesn't mean she's the most innocent wolf. She has a dark side that she never talks about, because she doesn't really care about the living. she never has.

»Cause Of Death: Hit by a human transporter.


»Holly: Holly is a stunning ping she-wolf with ice blue eyes. She has black legs and and a black tail-tip. Her tail is fluffy and she has long bangs, almost like hair surrounding the front of her face. Her right ear-tip is black and she has small triangle markings under her eyes. Don't let her beautiful appearance fool you. She is nothing but pure evil. Holly hates everyone. She doesn't care about anyone, or care about anything. Holly likes living in the Cathedral of Darkness, and she would never dream of going back to the Forest. She enjoys watching wolves show up in the Cathedral of Darkness, but she doesn't like them. She doesn't like anyone, as you can tell. She loves watching wolves die. She thinks it's what everyone deserves, is to die. Holly isn't friendly, and she isn'! t nice. She wont be by your side to kiss your boo boo's. She wont sing you to sleep when you cant fall asleep. She wont catch you when she fall. No, when anything like that happens, she'll be watching. Silently, right in the shadows. Watching you, forever. Holly loves to watch pain, death, and anything of the sort. Most wolves think she's heartless, and everyone hates her back. Well, she doesn't care if others hate here. And she basically is heartless. Or is she?

»Cause Of Death: Killed by hunters.


»Kikiyo: she will obey her alpha no matter what she well ask her to do. Haves really long nails and wings. At times she may look mean but she haves a nice side and shows it to some only.

»Cause Of Death: Pushed off a cliff by Colin.


»Scythe: A thin silver male wolf with blood red eyes. He may be thin, but his muscles and thick fur make up for it. The tips of his fur along his back have black on them, and the tip of his tail is black as well. His ears are black around the edges, then theres a patch of silver with a v-shaped black marking in the middle of the silver. There is also a tiner black v-shape above each eye. The top of his muzzle is black, which goes to the bottom edge of his eyes then spikes down towards the ground, while another spike goes up between his eyes to the top of his head. Along is side a jagged black stripe, and right below it is a shorter stripe that starts just ahead of it. On each of his legs is what looks to be a scythe; the top part where the blade hits the handle is at the top of his shoulder/thigh, then the blade curves down towards the back part of the leg and stops halfway down to the knee. The part that would be the long handle goes all the way down the front of his leg and then form his blacks paws at the end. A single stripe comes up the back of his legs and stops close to the knee. His teeth are average, but his claws are thick, long, curved, and extremely sharp. He looks aggressive, and his personality matches that perfectly. Nobody has ever been able to make him smile, and he whenever someone jokes or does something funny, all he does is huff and turn away. To him, killing is a game, and it's the only game that matters.

»Cause Of Death: Killed by a hunter and his dogs.


»Nex: There are wolfs that from the time that they are born to the time that they die never do anything wrong. Nex is not one of those wolfs. When he was a pup, he would play with all the others, but when they when they would wrestle he wouldn't stop until he drew blood. By the time he came of age, his alpha kicked him out of his pack for the violence he caused, saying he could only return when he learned to control his darker side. In response, he led a group of human hunters to the packs camp, and had them wiped out. It is an act he is very proud of, and often boasts about. A tall wolf, he is covered with a sleek coat of black fur. Fire like markings cover both of his eyes, colored a sickly green, like the one that reminds you of death. He is a schemer, setting no time asi! de for looking for a mate. Not that he find a wolf that he considered worth anyway.

Season: Fall

Chilly breezes. Nights can be cold, and it's been raining a lot lately. Prey is still thriving, but not for long. The waters are colder, and in the early mornings there is sometimes a think sheet of ice covering spots of the surface.

The Plot:

Once again, right when everyone thought the worst of their days were over, they were all fooled. The sickness, the fire, and now the hunters and their pests? They've all taken so many innocent lives - broken so many hearts and left so many alone in this world with nothing left to live for. No one knows how just how much more of this they can take. Just when the packs thought they wouldn't make it out of this one alive, it ended. They're free, it's over. No matter how many lives get lost, no matter how many times the forest gets destroyed, they make it out okay in the end. As the packs work to find the missing warriors and disposing of all the bodies, they grow stronger. They grow smarter, and they come closer together in the fight to make it out okay. But most importantly: they are alive.
