Metus and Tenedrae looked slightly sick at the sight Master's face. "Why is your face like that?" Asked Tenedrae. I started to walk to the bush.

Kaja sneered. More cracks opened up as more blood poured down, her snack lick tounge came out again to lick up more of the blood. " Why does a ryori look like a ryori " she said, not meaning it as a question.

"You have a very good point." Said Metus to Master. "Why do you have apprentices? Could Tenedrae and I be one?" He asked. I shoved him hard. "Don't ask that!" I hissed.

Vulcan and Artemis recognised Metus and Tenedrae from the shadow races. The shadow races were an underground organisation, and they had tried many times to put a stop to it.
None the less, Vulcan felt bad for them. "Idiots," he muttered.
Artemis replied "Great, even more criminals to join the loony bunch," sneering at them and rolling her eyes.

Kaja sneered at the ryori who asked to be her apprentice. " Hmmm...I might think it over...you all have a lot of raw-power... "

Ukay glared at the ryori who asked Kaja that. His eyes where angry and full of hatred.
See-see walked over. " M-ma-master.... " she whispered near Kaja.
Kaja glared at her. " What? " she hissed.
" I-I don't think y-you should get more apprentices... " she whispered.
See-see squealed in pain as Kaja lurched forward and sunk her teeth around her neck, careful to make her in great pain but not enought to kill her. " I shall do what I wish " Kaja spat at See-see.

Tender are pretended she didn't see that. She sensed one of the other shadow ryori close by. Metus shuffled his paws and moved the leaves around. And Exitium was busy slapping herself in her face in her mind.

Great, now look what you've done, you fool! Hissed the other Ryori.

Its MY life... She said back.

But I gave you power!! He screamed.

So what? Now you're stuck in me. She shot back. ((Exit I'm is having a mental conversation!)) That shut him up.

Kaja got off See-see and looked around. Bored at what was going on.
" Damn you Kaja...your going to get these ryories killed " Ukay muttered under his breath, making it very hard for anyone to hear him.
" Ukay, slit your throat and hold you tounge if you plan on insulting me " Kaja whispered in his ear " or I shall do it instead "

Metus kept shifting the leaves a pattern until an image formed. Tenedrae just sat and floated. "Well, what's the big deal about being your apprentice?" She asked.

Kaja looked back at the other ryoris. " You lose your guts if you come my apprentice, and your heart... "

Tenedrae shuffled nervously and floated back down. "Okay. So Exitium has no...?" She looked at me and the other apprentices nervously. "So you all have no," she gulped "guts?"
