Small creaks of old, rotten wood signed that someone was entering the house,tough not in a usual way. The hole on the roof ,made from a long forgotten storm, was a perfect entrance for someone that has no problems on climbing and the fact that the tree that caused the roof cave in was still in place just made the path easier to take. The wooden floor had creaked under the pressure of a clawed hand,soon followed by rest of the body as he slithered in. It took some time for the eyes to shift and get used to the darker enviroment. The hole was only in a corner of the house,and most of the windows were blocked to avoid too much light getting inside.

This was a den afterall.

As eyes got used to the darkness he soon could notice quite some shapes in the den. Some were resting,sleeping after theyr duties were done for the day. Others were just a couple of mothers keeping eyes on the little pests in theyr company,that sure didnt seem tired at all as they were busy tackling one another in a friendly spar,kicking the hay that covered most of the floor around with every pounce on the other. Mothers were laying down close,quitely chirping a conversation , sometimes stopping to correct the pups to not exagerate in theyr fight and avoid getting hurt for real.

At the sight of the bigger male entering the room they chuffed friendly,greeting him as he greeted them back. Pups didn't pay much attention to him,if not one of them that stared for a bit at the shape passing by,before getting assaulted by the others again and brought back into the game.

The male noticed clearly a shape that was very familiar to him, with his back turned towards him tough. Smiling faintly at his sight he approached,still moving on four with long ,powerful steps,as a bear would. As he was close enough he brushed his head onto the other's neck softly,not to startle him,nipping lightly at the clothes on him. "You got home early." He started,a bit of a croacked tone from him,but softened it with a sound close to a purr,but much more subdle. The savager that he just greeted and remained silent was smaller,but not by that much as others. His skin was dark,with bobbly stripes covering his bald dome. He immediatelly leaned over to the small affection, brushing his head aganist him too. But that didnt last long.

As something seemed to pass trough his mind the dark one moved away from the affection that was being shown to him, soon turning around to face the newcomer. Green,lively eyes met deep crimson one, that didnt take much to understand something was wrong. Altough,he hoped to change his partner mood with his presence...even if there was a very slim chance for that "Yeah. We didnt find...much. Had to cut the hunt short. But enough to feed for tomorrow." he finally commented back,his tone clearly sounding pissed. The larger male brows forrowed,knowing his partner body lenguage really well. "Whats wrong." Cutting the cute part short, as he was himself quite the quick fuse and didnt like the air that was felt in here right now.

The dark male shifted his body some,as in anticipation to let it all out knowing that Zack would have noticed this easily. "we..met them again. They were closer to the forest border. We hid as you said and they didnt notice us.." "and..? " Zack sat down on the floor as he questioned him,waiting for the point that had put him in such a bad mood.

The dark one sighed,avoiding eye contact "they have more of thoose...things. thoose animals with them. And they were so close i-" "we already talked about this,we wont do it." at Zack interrupting bark the other savager lip quivered some in annoyance,a quick exchanged glance showing the leader the signs of subordination,even if he tried so bad to ignore them. "you said that,yes. But i still dont get it. We could have snatched them,we could have taken it all and no one would even know it was us! they would just disappear. They have so MANY of them and they barely ever eat or do anything with them! we shouldnt be running low on food when its right at our borders"

As the dark one kept talking,it was clear from his body lenguage that he was getting heated up,that he wanted a serious confrontation and was tired of his ideas being shun down. The larger male tried to keep his nerves in check,but he sure wasnt liking his tone of voice."You know they are smarter than that. they know how many they own,and wont turn a blind eye to missing livestock..and sure not at missing people,cause i know you were implying that."

The dark one scoffed as Zack caught onto that,but his hatred for humans was well known-and partially supported by others of the group.

"We lived here for years,and none of the parties attacked the other nor showed agression. I'd rather keep it that way than see another slaughter of my family just to get a momentary fuller stomach" Zack wanted to close it there,using a stern tone,tired himself of this conversation being brough up over and over again,more often in recent times. He was hoping to relax after another long day, in the calmness of theyr nest,with only his partner body heat and sounds to keep him company. But no matter how he wanted to avoid conflict, his partner had other ideas that made his safe spot to relax just a cage,trapping him in this discussion that had no happy ending.

A growl escaped the dark one, standing up to square up with his leader -and mate-face to face "yes,we did. and every winter is harsher,and our numbers bigger..much bigger than thoose of the fuckers out there in theyr cozy houses! we CAN take them and we wouldnt have problems for the next generations to be fed! " The tone had gotten clearly louder, getting the attention of the others in the room. Even without them looking around the room, they could tell they were all silently staring,listening to theyr fight.

Not wanting to give the bigger male a chance to stop him now that he had attention..THEYR attention,he kept trying his luck,trying to get more of the gruop on his side. " Since that accident you have been way too good with them. WAY too forgiving. We all know that you just dont have the courage to kill them anymore."

Zack kept a stern look ,titling his head slighlty and ever so slowly as he frowned deeply. It was clear he didnt like that he was making this more personal than anything,trying to put the ones in the room aganist him,aganist the one who is supposed to protect them. "...you should lower and watch your tone." keeping a death stare on him as he slowly responded, he could feel the tension in the room,waiting for his next move, for what he would do to this openly accusatory tone that could put in doubt his leadership. Standing up ,easily being taller already than the other, savagers around tensed as if waiting for the black savager to get hit, to be tossed onto the wall with one simple slap.

But it didnt came.

Instead Zack just walked closer, keeping his head higher than his partner as if an instinctive way to show his rank.

He loved that boy,a lot. He helped him trough rough times and could always count on him,but they were both so headstrong on theyr own ideas that clashes of the two were inevitable...and as time went on more and more frequent.

The dark one had a hard time to not back down from this,not cause he was scared or regretted what he said but cause Zack had a natural aura of power and pressure with his presence alone.

He wasnt the alpha of this group only out of luck,that was for sure. "As i said,this is not in discussion. We are not starving,and if you have this much anger to blow off,i suggest you to join the others in the new hunting grounds we found. A hunt that wont put our home at risk" His tone became more sharp at the end, his lips curling up to show perfectly cut fangs resting in his mouth,trying to rest this case.

Silence fell for a long moment, as the black one seemingly was trying to hold it back,but instead he growled before fully snapping at him,the anger too much to contain for what he was hearing "I dont need to cool off, i need you to open your eyes. When the next pup will walk into a trap,will you dismiss this as an accident? is this what you will say to the mother?? Here you are being a coward when i tought you were a leader!!!"

He didnt have time to catch his breath that the back of his bald head met rougly the floor. One arm pressing on his chest, cutting his air short. As Zack squeezed in the heat of the moment,the sound of wood creaked for the pressure that was being put by zack strenght echoed in the room,and for how old this building was it was clear that he could send the dark one on a big fall into the floor below the one they were into right now.

Not one savager dared to move in aid,or even make a sound.

A line was crossed and they knew it. With no other way out of this the dark one leaned his head to the side submissive, asking with his look for the other to let him go. Zack didnt budge, which could alert someone to think he really is pissed,and could hurt his partner,but eventually softened his grip,not without talking first tough " i said,i suggest you to join the others in the new hunting grounds. now."

Letting his grip go fully he moved to the side, letting the dark one recompose his posture ,hardly able to look at Zack directly in the eyes now. He was embarassed of how powerless he felt in that situation,and even more hurt that he could not talk sense into his partner even by being close to him.

Grimancing,not adding anything else,he left the room the same way Zack came from, not minding the silent looks that followed him till he disappeared.

And with his disappear ,the air slowly turned calmer. Savager that were previously watching moved theyr look away to not trigger theyr leader,going back to theyr own stuff. In the end it was something that the two had to solve themselves.

Staring as he left, Zack could do nothing but feel guilt washing over him for this, with no idea how to prove to him that he meant well,that he just had to try let go of the hate to live better.

Btu sadly for him,Zack was understimating the stubborn personality and hatred that resident into the person he trusted most and he would find other ways to get to his goals,even without Zack help.

Cant believe this was done back in september wtf

The only reason that i did not put it in the huge 2020 sketch dump is that i think it still looks good on its own.

I dont know how many really would care for my personal lore stuff, but i am gonna force myself to work more on it and also put things out about it ovo (even tough this would probly nto make much sense without the full context but heyo)

This was something that had been bugging me for so long, that i remember i couldnt stand it living rent free in my mind anymore so i had to draw it lmao

I think its the first time that i write something this long on a submission but god i wish it would be something more interesting-or that i didnt have to type it half awake :"D

so if it sounds off at some points just know it was my brain giving up in trying to write something that makes sense H
i swear i can do better really-
