Oo, a fight scene! And one in a restaurant!

Dog~~

I growled, staring the coyotes down. Rune held a knife to Dez's throat, watching with an amused expression as the fight began. 

Almarel had turned into a weird looking creature and was attacking a small group of coyotes all at once. Insomnia was firing bolts at random, and King? Well, to be honest, I had no idea what King was doing.

I leaped at a coyote and knocked them to the ground. They growled and snapped their fangs, but I evaded them. However, at the same time, another bit my back leg. I spun around and bit their ear, hard enough to make them wail. But then the first coyote jumped on me. 

There was a thunk and the first coyote fell. A crossbow bolt was lodged in its neck. 

~~~ 

I pull out the artifact a box of gems, 2 red, two blue, two green, and two yellow. I select the two yellow gems pulsing with chaotic energy. I smile as I click the stones into place feeling my body suffuse with energy, I clap my hands together, creating a wave of lethal energy, equivalent to being struck by lightning, that pushes over many tables and kills quite a few coyotes. One tries to jump at me but I grab it by its neck and it yelps as lightning courses through its body, killing it almost instantly.

I grin at the remaining coyotes, baring my fangs, as I snarl at them in their own tongue; "Who's next?" A few coyotes bolt, but some truly idiotic one stays, snarling angrily. It lunges and I swipe at it, jolting it with a warning shot. This one will not be shaken off easily, It jumps at me, I duck and grab it again, my hood falling to my shoulders from the force of the movement, this time I hit it squarely with one of my bolts.

~~~

King is a violent fellow, also I'm back!

Almost all of the coyotes are gone. Wait, check that all except one. The one I am holding a knife to. I look over to Almarel casually.

"Would you like to do the honors?" I ask. Almarel pretends to contemplate, then he stalks over to Dez.

"You know, I think life would be horrendously boring without a good scrap now and then." Almarel's arm snakes around Dez's neck to grab him by the scruff. Then, opening the Olive Den's door, he throws Dez out. 

Right after I hurl Dez out the front door, a cloaked and hooded figure (There seem to be a lot here) opens the door, and walks through. My companions, still on guard from the fight, lower into defensive stances, but I wave down the knives/crossbows/teeth. "This is my contact." I say, and nod.

"Hello, Almarel."

"Don't use my name, Elspeth, even around folks I trust... Against my better instincts."

"Only if you don't use mine, Claw." 

"Alright, Wraith." this is a fairly normal exchange, and we laugh.

"I saw the Coyotes fleeing. Explaination?"

"Same as ever. I whipped 'em to-"

"Claw!"

"Sorry. These guys were good too, I guess."

"Anyway, down to business." We sober, and sit down at the largest table. I beckon the others, and they sit down hesitantly. The door opens again, and yet more cloaked figures come into the room. I beckon them.

"Shadow, Tooth."

"Hello, Claw, Wraith." They lower their hoods, and Wraith does the same. My new companions are shocked by their catlike faces. 

"These guys have the Amulets as well."

"Amulets?"

"The thing I use to Shapeshift. Also, we each get one speicial property. Mine is the Hybrid, Wraith's is the ability to slow time, Shadow can become a Fire being, and Tooth can become one of Ice. Also, Shadow, Tooth, Wraith, these are Dog, Insomniactic, Rune, and...?" A Shadowed Being seems uniclined to answer, so I simply shrug and continue. "Dog, Insomniactic, Rune, whatever-your-name-is, these are Shadow, Tooth, and Wraith, my littermates."

I flipped my hood back on before anyone noticed that it had fallen off, close call there. Amrel introduces us to his siblings. "Figures," I state quietly "you all smell the same." 

Almarel looks at me curiously "You have a strong sense of smell for a human." he mutters to me

"What makes you think I'm human, Claw?" I whisper as I grin malevolently and allow the light to reach my face, showing him my fangs, and my eyes, pupil dilated and slit, something I learned to control over time.

He looks at me curiosity and suspicion warring in his eyes. Suspicion wins and he leans back, a snarl on his lips "What are you."

"I am whatever name you call me," I shrug "Monster, human, elf, doesn't matter to me." Rune walks over, a concerned expression on her face. I look Almarel in the eye, smile pleasantly, pull my hood down further over my face, and turn around to face Rune.

"Back on topic. I'm assuming you have all heard about Catastiophe?" I say, nd he othera recoi, and they all muttwr a "yes", while slowly reaching for their weapons.

"Oh, don't worry, we aren't with him. He ruined our lives". For the first time, I pull down my hood completely, and they see a jagged scar on my forehead. My siblings pull down their hoods, too, revealing similar scars. "When we refused to join him, he had his minions beat us, and then he cast us out into the wilderness. It was the middle of winter, and we were almost dying of starvation when we foubd our Amulets. Now, we are going to stop him "

"FaFa or the Resostance?" Inqired Insomniactic.

"Neither. We aren't all goody-goody two-shoes like they are, though we aren't against them." 

King turns to me and draws close to my ear.

"I deduce that you haven't revealed your face here yet. Could you do that for me, Ru?" He whispers. I whisper an affirmation back and reach up to my hood. He does the same, drawing his off at the same time. His pleased eyes drift over my features, drinking in the maturity of my face and form that has changed me drastically from the last time he saw my face, a long time ago when we were much younger. My heterochromatically green eyes sparkle mysteriously as usual, and my oddly sharp inscisors glint when I smile. Tiny dragon's scales speckle my face like freckles. As a last touch, out of my hair poke two wolf-like ears, except they're covered in scaley armor. Everybody in the room gapes. They know what I am now. A Creature X. Hunted for years and never found by presently-alive hunters. I grin at the others.

My eyes drink in Rune's face before I remove my own hood, revealing my scarred face, my messy brown hair with blondish tips, lean figure, black wolf ears that fade to a dark grey at the tips with a matching tail, thirteen tails actually, my eyes, currently slitted, mark me as someone with magical blood, but the ears and tail aren't natural, I never had them as a human. "What a fine pair we are," I grin at her with canines exposed "A Creature X and a Kilents Malicras.” I remove the stones from my gauntlets and tuck them back in the artifact box. 

I flick Rune’s nose with one of my tails, she scrunches up her nose in response and pretends to look offended.

I’m not dead just yet

Hmm. Now that you've given your charrie's species a scientific name, I think I'll change the name of my charrie's species.

Common name. Creature: Unknown (Casually called the Lost One)

Scientific name. Occultatumet Incognita

So what part of Kyngdom is the Olive Den located at?
