After walking through a hole in the side of the cliff at the Canthan Lake, you come across a cave. It appeared small, but looking on the inside, it's rather large. Let's hope you don't get lost in here, for there are many traps lying in wait. There's also some strange writing on the wall. . .
Upon further exploration, you come up to an empty area, many ledges that you could possibly reach, and many that you cannot. All of them seem to have entrances to another passage. You take the nearest one of the right. . .
Further and further down the passage you go, cleverly avoiding the traps that try to kill you. Yet again, you come to another maze-like area, only this time, you climb up the wall and to the ledge above, taking that passage in a rather dizzying semi-circle until finally, you arrive in a rather big room, probably about the size of a couple of foot-ball fields. You look up, and can just barely find the ceiling amidst the shadows, seeing how it's so high. Then, you turn to look in front of you. . .
Right there, standing at least twenty feet high, is a statue. About thirty feet wide, you can just barely fit it all into one view, awe-struck. Walking towards it, you examine what little you can see, finding the strange, peculiar writing covering it as on the walls in the entrance.

Adrian sighed, kicking at the dirt and stopping at the cave entrance, looking curiously up at it; if he wasn't mistaken, Alex hung around here a lot. Huh. . .wouldn't that be something? The teen sighed and walked into the cave a little bit, sitting down by the wall and leaning on it, letting his thoughts run through his head.
Anna. . .the girl could honestly be so. . .so--! Gah, frustrating! She just had to ruin everything! Ginji, too, the little b*****d. Now no one was going to listen to him. And his psycho-maniac of a father, too!

"What are you up to pup..and dont try any avoiding answers" cody growled, his eyes glowing yellow, a bit nocturnal from the darkness of the cave as he stepped in, staying near the entrance silhouetted by the light. He wanted answers from this boy, wanted to know what had come to disturb his and his packs peace in his older years..he didnt have much longer, he knew it a few years at most. Really he was lucky to be as old as he was now. Still his mate was with cub and he wouldnt chance something happening to hem.

"As you can see, I'm sitting here and doing absolutely nothing," Adrian replied, not really surprised to see a dog talk; hey, he hung out with Anna and Ginji of all people. The teen sighed, closed his eyes and lifted his head off the wall, glancing at the wolf-like dog. "What about you? What're you doing here?"

Cody snuffed at the ground, padding his way into the cave slowly "Who said it was you I was worried about...you have done nothing, but them..those people who followed you, theyre a threat" he stated blatantly coming to sit in front of adrian glaring at him. "I was tracking you, your the easy target of the group" the dog shrugged in his own way giving adrian a small smile. "And your looks make you deceiving.." it was a fact he looked like alex so much if it werent for his eyes and the slightly different scent he could be alex. The fact that he looked like a good friend of theirs made him wary, but also made him hope he could trust this boy.

"Well excuse me for having no control over my DNA," Adrian sighed, though a smiled crept over his face; he could imagine he looked like his brother, and that made him a little happy. "So, why follow me if I'm not a threat? I'm not going to do anything to you."
Shiro walked calmly into the cave, taking a place next to Adrian and leaning on the wall, not saying anything as his eyes were closed.
"Nice to see you, Father," Adrian sighed, getting no response; great. This really helped his image.

Cody chuckled, well the boy may look like alex, but he certinally lacked his personality. "Its because your not a threat that I follow you, Im not to much of a match for a demon" cody just knew how to pick his battles, and adrian would be easy to talk to....
Snorting at the ground when the new person came in.."And because of people like him" the dog giving a small curt nod to the new comer, ignoring him otherwise. Goodness, poor adrian surrounded by demons and creeps, cody wanted to shudder when he called this new man father...it just seemed so wrong. Pups cant choose their parents though. "So, why are you here anyways? Not you specifically but..the others"

"That is none of your concern," Shiro answered before Adrian had the chance. "What we do is what we do." He looked down on Cody, a slightly venemous look in his golden eyes. "I would appreciate if you mind your own business."
"How about I try instead?" Alex stood at the cave entrance, a look of rising anger and hate in his eyes; he knew it. He knew all along that he would come. But why did it have to be now, of all times? "What the hell are you doing here?"
Shiro chuckled, looked at Alex with an amused expression as he walked towards him a little ways. "Can't a father visit his eldest son?" he asked innocently.
Alex let a small growl escape him, one hand curled into a tight fist. "Don't give me that s**t. Why are you here?" he demanded again, though Shiro only chuckled, further irking Alex; great. Just great. Because he really wanted to deal with this son of a b***h right now.
Adrian blinked, looking from Shiro to Alex, trying to grasp the situation; so. . .here were his father and brother, an obvious hate running between them. . .on the plus side, he met his brother? Damn, that wasn't good enough. . .though he should probably run. . .

Cody let out a loud bark, giving shiro a glare as he moved to alex. "Nows not the time..dont forget you have a child now" he could sense alexs rage, the complete loathing of the man that was apparently his father. Still that rage could get him in trouble..He hadnt expected alex to be back so soon, not like this he could imagine yuri would be furious if something happened now.. "Besides" the dog grinning almost friendly "I can always talk to adrian later, he seems nice even if his sire has a stick up his rear" the dog chuckled lightly, giving alex a small nudge..they didnt need the boy exploding angrily inside the cave now did they..and alex was obviously the more angry of the pair shiro had such an annoying calm about him.

"Leaving so soon?" Shiro asked, mocking sadness. "And here I'd thought we might finally be able to get along." He glared down at Cody for a moment before choosing to ignore his comments, reaching into the inside of his jacket and pulling out a simple kunai, holding it casually in his hand and twirling it slightly.
"How about instead I rip this b*****d to shreds?" Alex growled, summoning his sword in his right hand; oh, he'd definitely enjoy this. No matter what the consequence, he'd enjoy ever single moment when Shiro was in pain.
"By all means, come at me with everything you've got."
Alex didn't hesitate, dashing forwards to Shiro and slashing out in an upwards arc, though he was surprised to see Shiro had dodged. Next, he tried to slash across, though he was blocked.
"You," Shiro spat, pushing Alex back and managing to pin him against the wall opposite Adrian, "will get no where at this rate. And did I hear correctly? You have a child?" He chuckled, raising his weapon and placing it at Alex's neck, pressing it close to the skin. "Why didn't I just kill you when I had the chance?" he asked in a whisper.

"Alex!" cody snapped but of course it was already to late, couldnt this boy for once just listen to him, his ears back flat his fur bristling when he watched shiro so easily pin alex, as though it had been nothing at all..such a pompous man acting like he was toying with a child, and maybe he was. How could lex have been grabbed so quickly hardly being able to put up a fight. "If you go to kill him shiro..know that ill tear out your other sons throat" the dog smirked a snarl in his throat as he set his sights on adrian. "And then you would have no sons to carry on your legacy..how sad for you" he would as much as he liked adrian as a person alex was far higher on his choice of people to live..

Yukiko finally got to the cave, but she could hear what was going of yards away; more than that. "How about you rip his throat out instead? Sounds more fun." She pat Cody head with her finger tips. Yup. Trouble magnet. No matter where he went for how long, something always had to happen. "Try not to go getting hurt yourself, Cody." Yukiko looked up and saw Adrian. She wasn't surprised. Really. Then when she looked over to the other side of the cave she saw Alex pinned against the wall by Shiro. That, she was a bit surprised by.

"I never said I was going to kill him. I can't; not yet," Shiro said, gaze focused on Alex the entire time. Then he withdrew, lowering his blade and stepping it back, putting away his kunai and walking back to Adrian, thoroughly ignoring Cody and Yukiko right now. "And last I recalled. . .I only have one son. That excuse for a human being over there is nothing more than an abomination."
Alex was relieved when Shiro let him go, but that certainly did nothing to relieve his anger. The elder's snide comment only further angered him, as well as crushed the confidence he'd been building for a good, long while. So it wasn't much of a surprise when he created some blades of wind and shot them out at Shiro.
"You really don't know when to give up," Shiro sighed, dodging to the side simply; good thing he hadn't been directly in from of Adrian, or the poor boy would have been hurt. The man turned and faced Alex, a bored look on his face before he shook his head and reached into a pocket, pulling what appeared to be a slip of paper with writing on it in a foreign language. "I suppose I should deal with those powers of yours and get them out of the way, though the amount you hold I highly doubt the seal will be complete." A sadistic grin crossed his face as he looked back at Alex, walking back over to him. "Oh, well. More suffering for you," he whispered once he was directly in front of him.
Alex wanted so desperately to shove tv man away, to run, to do anything just to get him away from him! But his body had decided to freeze up, so he could only look away when Shiro placed that accursed seal on his arm. The thing activated immediately, a spark going off before the paper glowed, draining his powers at an uncomfortably fast rate.
"Do try to stay alive. You're still very much needed," Shiro chuckled as he walked away, past Yukiko and Cody and out of the cave before he vanished from sight in a flash.
Adrian tensed, simply in shock at what just happened; and here he'd thought his father was a boring man. Freaky. He jumped when Alex dropped onto his knees, quickly scrambling to his feet and going over to him, pulling off the seal his father had used. "There. You should be fine now. I think, anyway."
"Why the hell do you care?" Alex asked, shaking his head, then clutching at it; damn, he felt dizzy. A little warm, too, but that was probably because of what just happened. Just what the hell had Shiro done? Then he realized he was no longer holding a sword, but a necklace, now. And a slightly dull one at that; when did it change again?

Yukiko watched the man. When he walked past her, she did nothing but look at him. Her look wasn't even a glare. Just a look. She watched him disappear and turned her head looking at Alex and Adrian. That time her look was more of a glare, but it disappeared after a few seconds. "Would it kill you to control yourself a little more?" She put her hand on head, feeling his was a bit dizzy. "Maybe now you should go back home and go to sleep. Get some kind of rest at all." Yukiko really didn't think he'd listen to her, though.

"Sorry. I just let my temper get to me," Alex said, squeezing his eyes shut tight for a moment before opening them again, blinking to clear his swimming vision; he wasn't that tired, was he? Then he realized something, looking back at Adrian for a moment then jumping to his feet, taking a step back from the boy. "You. . .who are you, anyway?"
"Eh?" Adrian blinked; hadn't he mentioned that? Well, obviously not. So he put on a grin and looked up at his older sibling. "Oh, I'm your younger brother!"
Alex looked blankly down on Adrian. "No, seriously."
"I'm being serious!"
Alex glared slightly at the teen, though he stumbled a little and leaned against the wall again; dammit, Shiro was definitely going to get it. What did he even mean, anyway?
Alex sighed, feeling a little hurt; well, he expected this a bit. Not that it hurt any less, but he'd need some determination. "You shouldn't be standing," he said, standing up and offering Alex his support.
