Chapter 6 - *: Malice

Slayer didn't say anything to Beast for a few moments, still lost in his own thoughts of what this whole scenario of events that took place actually could cause.

Slayer kept quiet while taking a little time to process everything that he was just told, Only making occasional glances at the bundled up blanket Beast still held in his hand.

This whole situation was something that no one had ever heard of. It was odd and interesting at the same time. It wasn't every day that something this bizarre happened.

Then, it suddenly dawned on Slayer as he was standing there staring at the bundled up blanket that during this entire time talking to beast and about the newborn pup, he never heard a sound come from the blankets of any kind or see any movement. This had his brows furrow together because newborns were never this quiet or still, especially since it was deprived of nursing from the mother. And if it wasn't for his extremely sharp hearing that he honed in on it, he would have believed that the pup was dead but his ears picked up the sound of a very strong heartbeat.' now that's interesting', Slayer said to himself.

"Sire?" Beast said. Bringing Slayer out of his head and back to the situation at hand that still needed to be handled. And for some reason Beast interrupting his thoughts annoyed him.

"What?"Slayer asked flatly.

"This abomination should be disposed of and the sooner the better." Beast growled. His snout scrunching up to show his razor sharp teeth and his black serpent tongue that slithered in and out. He was over with dealing with this thing and wanted it killed and disposed of quickly, for it had already taken up too much of his time and had caused enough trouble. Not to mention, he was absolutely disgusted by the pup that had managed to survive, when both his parents were now dead. It was disgraceful to think that the Howler's Clan were excited and couldn't wait for this thing he now held to be born. He let out a low predatory growl and his grip on the bundle of blankets tightened around what was curled up inside.

"Hand me the orphaned pup and I'll take care of it how I choose." Slayer brought his arm forward to hold out in front of Beast, waiting for him to hand the pup over. A few seconds went by before Slayer said, "Hand me the pup. I will not ask you this again, Beast. And I wouldn't stall any longer because I am losing my patience!" Slayer's voice was dark and demanding and his Aura now fell ominous and deadly. His blood red eyes glowed like live fire as he cleared challengingly at Beast.

Beast reluctantly handed over the bundle that held the pup. I will stress that the newborn should be killed and disposed of. If word of such a thing being born and specially that it was still living, and in our lands, it would cause quite an uproar in both the Kamaira villages. Something that can and easily could be avoided" Beast was trying to make sure Slayer agreed and would just kill the pup, but he was cut off by Slayer saying,

"I am well aware of the reaction that this hybrid pup will cause in The villages and don't need to be told as if I'm a fucking idiot who doesn't know. And I shouldn't need to remind you that everyone will accept and agree to whatever the fuck it is that I decided! And while we're bringing up things that should be kept in mind - let me ask you something? Has it really slipped your mind who it is that the Night Creatures are Ruled by? And, since you know the different types of Night Creatures and their ranks. I need to know which one did the night creature who you killed today and was involved with the Kamaira belong to?" Slayer's expression was grim in his eyes held a murderous foot in them as they glowed, like hell's fire was trapped inside them. Beast's eyes widen in his wings that he had clasped together at the nape of his neck unhooked, his massive bat-like wings fanning out behind him. His fur stood up and he became suddenly restless before a loud, primitive growl erupted from his lungs that shook the mass of trees that surrounded them.

Beast fear no one or nothing and he was well aware of who the night creatures belong to but that had not registered in his mind at all until now. And it pissed him off beyond measure that he had not even thought of that. It was like him not thinking of who the Kamairas belonged to and were Ruled by. Such an important crucial detail of something was inexcusable, especially for a demon like him.

He knew that Lord Vishious the Demon Lord who Ruled the Night Creatures was a formidable and very powerful Demon Lord who belonged to the Realm of the Dead. He also wouldn't ignored the death of one of his Night Creatures being killed and would undoubtedly come to find out what had happened. Because it wouldn't be taken lightly at all. It wasn't in Lord Vishious's nature to allow something that belong to him be taken by anyone or anything. And love to remind anyone who crossed him, how deadly and unforgiven he truly was.

Beast with certain that the hybrid pup wouldn't be anything that he would find any value or interest in. And if anything he was positive about was that Lord Vishious would in fact agree with what bees thought appropriate to do concerning the newborn pup. And if it had been born amongst the Night Creatures it wouldn't have been allowed to live after its birth. Such a hybrid being born would never be tolerated and the mother would have been killed instantly, once it had been discovered about a Kamaira and a Night Creature being involved with each other.

But Beast was also well aware that having Lord Vishious as an adversary was not something that one would ever want to have. And would not be one that you'd walk away from victorious, if indeed, he decided to challenge you. And Beast would enjoy and be honored to fight such an opponent in battle.

"Well, I'm going to take a wild guess and assume that it was one of his shadowers? Am I right in my guess, Commander?" Slayer said in a venomously dark tone and even though he knew the answer and didn't need Beast confirmation, he was going to make beef realize the severity of who he had killed. And, also, it was clear that Beast needed to remember that getting on his bad side was not very wise. Furthermore, to never to forget one's place because Slayer was just as formidable and deadly yes Lord Vishious, and just as unforgiving.

Please just gave a small notch of his head, growling softly to let Slayer know that he was right and show his submission to Slayer. Bringing his wings to wrap about his massive body once more like a cloak and clasping them together under the nape of his neck.

"Thank you for bringing the situation to my attention and for handling the cleanup the Way You are. Go ahead and return to your duties and we'll keep the story of what to tell the others of what happened to the newborn pup" Slayer said in a dismissive tone.

Knowing that there was nothing else that could be said or done, Beast bowed his head. "Yes, Sir." He couldn't help but take one last look at the thing that Slayer was now holding. Hoping that Slayer would in fact make the right decision when it came to that things fate. He looked then at Slayer again briefly, before turning to walk back towards the village.

Slayer stood there for a few minutes watching Beast before losing side of him as he headed toward the village. It was only then that Slayer glance down at the bundle he had in his arms. Cradling it in one arm while he used his free hand to slowly unravel the blanket, to be able to finally get a look at what this hybrid pup look like.

He wasn't expecting to see something that would make his eyes wide and incomplete surprise. The pup he uncovered was an entirely, all white male Kamaira that didn't have the full Kamaira appearance. This pups lower half wasn't reptilian at all and instead it's body was fully the make up of a wolf and having the bat like wings that the pup had wrapped around it's a little body.

It's color and having a different body structure than what all the other Kamaira's had, the Howler's clan had never had any pups take on any other kind of appearances. Neither clan did. He was still staring down at the unique pub when it slowly started to begin to stir in his arms. Unwrapping its little body from its wings and soon the pups slowly opened his eyes. The hybrid pup had beautiful, dark purple eyes, like deep amethyst.

Slayer found it amusing the way the little pup just kept his eyes locked on him. Not looking away, as if observing him and trying to stare him down. Impressed with how the pup didn't cry or whimper and didn't shrink away as he kept his eyes looking up at slayer. Already seeming to challenge Slayer and already seeming to have trust towards him. A small smile came to settle on Slayer's wicked lips, showing his long sharp fangs

Knowing that the newborn had to be hungry and in need of milk that it had been neglected to have since its birth, Slayer slowly turned and started his walk back towards his Palace. "You'll not disappoint me, Malice."Was all Slayer had to say to the abomination, that he decided would be allowed to live.
