The volcano that was just barely visible from the tower in Milintic Square was always a source of mystery and wander for the old spirited, tribal male. He had only visited twice before and the end of the first trip was one of the Fire females had rudely driven him off. Of course he had to go back, he had only begun to figure it out. The second trip was a bit more of a success, bringing with him a couple of perspective Champions. Although he had no preconceived notions of the trip being a recruiting mission, wherever he went, he shared and some chose to support the cause. He had no ill will against those whom did not want to become a Champion, nor even those who did not want to hear about it. Sometimes it was nice not to repeat himself over and over again, yet others, it was inevitable, and even felt predestined. Ajax did not fancy himself as a vessel of whatever gods or omnipotent one(s), he just had strong instincts and knew when something just simply felt right. Such things would come in handy if he found himself in a battle or even a skirmish with one of these bands of ruffians he has heard were popping up.
Actually, he was rather looking forward to testing his gumption against someone. Not that he would ever bring such a situation upon himself, but if the circumstances were right, he would not back down if they were presented. It would one day be the job of the Rose Knights to patrol the most common routes between the various colonies of different tribe lands. But today, it was Ajax's right, not so much his responsibility. The breeze was far too sweet to bring any ill will to his paws. The closer to the 'Ring of Fire' territory, as he understood the Fire Tribe B'alam called it, the more sulfur mixed with the sweetness of blossoming berry bushes. It was tantalizingly seductive. But he did not intend on going there today, just close enough to take up the smell and let the world happen to him. The rather large realm was still relatively reclusive as far as residents was concerned. He may run into no one at all accept for a beautiful day.

Ever since he opened his pale eyes and found himself tossed into this brutal world fighting for his literal survival, but the result of that emotional and physical wringer was very severe. It left him blinded with physical, psychological and emotional scars along with a limp and a wound that will constantly open and ooze no matter what he does. There is a small blessing among the curse that he is forced to live with, whenever he is around fire sources (volcanos, fire and whatnot), his sight will return to him but he will be seeing blurry and vague shapes along with colors. Hence, Yaotl Yolotli never left the ring of fire territory and he have marked a quite good amount of property just for himself so he was pretty content with staying in that area where he is capable of seeing blurry colors and figures.
One day, the male turns his pale eyes toward the edge of the massive area that allows him to see vaguely and there is a tingle of curiosity to what is out there but he knows that when he moves away from ring of fire, his sight will fade out into darkness. His tail twitches as it unfurls away from his body and he starts that slow painstaking trek toward the edge, his pale eyes darts all over the place while he mentally prepares himself to rely heavily on other four senses he have. He immediately senses that someone is already at the edge and his vision is already fading out because he is moving away from the area, his ears twitches while his tail sways back and forth like a blind person's cane would do.
He lifts his head up into air, drawing in a deep breath, taking in every scents that is there and that someone's scent reached his nose. "Male.." His raspy voice whispers as he turns his head into the male's direction. His pristine white horns gleams in the sunshine as he steps out of the shadows, looking like he just materializes out of nowhere. "Identify yourself and your purpose of lurking near here." He rumbles the command out.

The male knew a command when he heard one. He wasn't exactly used to obeying them, but he did not want to cause the effect of not adhering. Perhaps he had stepped onto someone else's 'property' or there was some other reason his presence would make another uncomfortable. He pondered through a bow, but when the male's eyes did not follow him, he figured the all black Fire Tribesman was blind. That fact, along with the rest of the male's appearance was a simple enough explanation.
"I am Ajax, and I mean you no harm, Sir. " As normal, his tone was deep and his words were sharp. At this point, there was nothing to say that did not need to be said. He continued, "Curiosity is my purpose." If there was ever to be a war between two prides, Ajax wanted to know where the weak points and strong holds of each realm laid. Not necessarily for the purpose to attack, but more along the lines of support. Yeah, that's it.
This B'alam was slightly bigger than Ajax, who had fancied himself a quite the buff male. Whomever took down this great male was either among a large number or someone Ajax needed to be be weary of. The fact that this individual was still alive was either a feat of glory, an act of mercy, or an oversight on the part of the other party. If he were permitted to launch an inquiry, he would take the opportunity.

An insult? That was not a very good way to kick this shindig off with. He was going to laugh, but that was almost more insulting than calling someone you cannot see an undesired name. Perhaps it was his tone that offered this misconception. To correct that, his voice was unweavering but his tone rang more authoritative.
"I assure you, being curious, does not make someone naive." He was no cub, nor freshly awoken gilly. But he also had nothing to gain by this blind B'alam to see that, so he was not going to push it.
"I am of the Earth Tribe, but I need none of your pity." He too stood stoic with no malice in his words, in a mexican stand off of will. While it was probably this fire male which deserved the pity, he offered none. This Fire B'alam was talking down to him, he had no idea just who Ajax was. But that was alright, he wasn't going to push it. He did not need his standing in the clan to speak for him, it was not a part of his moral fiber, just something that he is doing.
Ajax also got the sense that if these two could get along, they just might have quite a few things in common.

"You assume much, Blind One." Ajax did not receive what he was expecting either way. But he was able to learn something useful about the male after all, that was a win in his mind. If he wouldn't offer a name, the fire male would earn various nicknames in the process. It didn't matter to him that the male couldn't exactly guess where he was, all things considered. This one also had invisible scars deep in his mind. Not too surprising actually.
"But unfortunately," Ajax continued, repositioning himself into a more relaxed stance. "I do agree with you on one point. I could not see or imagine you living my life, as I cannot see myself living yours." It would indeed be very difficult for the Rose Chief of the Bayeux Clan to be a blind B'alam. As this male has surely done, he would be forced to learn life in a whole new way. A day in the life of this damaged black one, would be interesting to say the least. But if he is crushed in spirit, it could be as difficult as being blind. Who is to say which form of cripple is worse than the last?
With these thoughts, he could approach the conversation from a different place of understanding.
"What is it you are doing so far from the heart of the fire of the volcano? Your kind feels empty without it, does it not?"
Caitlyn Hellstorm Man this is so much more tense than I thought it would be! lol

The heart of a warrior, Ajax was not phased by this 'warrior's' injuries, no matter how much he tried to rub it in his face that he had sustained such great injury and persevered. As he listened to the male contradict himself, he could do nothing but silently smirk and flip his tail. This conversation seemed to be going in circles, and Ajax's solid resolve was wearing thin.
There was only a few ways he could see this coming to an end: rudely, abruptly, violently, or politely. Some where in the discourse, this conversation became a match of wit and power. It wasn't a game he had much experience with against such a formidable opponent. When he looked at it from that perspective, this became much more interesting. How could he win this verbal battle without any low blows? As the Fire Male lapped up his own blood, he tilted his head for a moment, but it didn't phase him any more than that. He slowly began to circle
Ajax stood up and stretched himself out, then slowly began to circle the other.. There was no way out of the two of them, that Ajax was the naive one. Even if Ajax was closer to the beginning of his path than this nameless Fire Tribesman, he knew where his path was leading him. He would have a bright future, the highlight of this one's life was behind him.
"Thank you for the information." Truly, it could be helpful in the future. "Maybe you should get back to your fire, coteries that wound. An obvious observation, it seems that most of your injuries are on the front of your body.. That would lead me to believe you were the instigator of this tragedy that has befallen your body. The only question I have, is did the other B'alam escape with his life?" Purposely, he neglected the other's correct assumption of a 'pack'.

His tail curls up against his hunches as the male continues to tend to that cursed wound on his leg, he appeared to be completely relaxed but the looks can be deceiving sometimes. Yaotl pauses for a minute when he senses another male getting up and the shift in the air tells him that the male is now circling around him. He didn't turn his head as the male goes behind him because he knows that Ajax will get an eyeful of scars on his back as well, although.. those scars are more subtle than the ones on front of his body.
Closing his sightless eyes, Yaotl was a picture of calm and composure on outside but on inside, he's tense and wary, waiting for Ajax to attack or dictate what they will do next. When Ajax spoke again, he opens his eyes with a hint of smirk flickering across his face and shifts his head toward the direction of the voice, amused at how he thinks that this wound on his leg could be cauterized. He have tried so many different things to heal or close this wound but it continues to bleed to his annoyance. The male just simply gave up and crafted himself pile of bandages to use whenever he needs to replace them.
"Instigator?" Yaotl says with a little raspy laugh as he shakes his head little bit with a sigh. He is led to believe that Ajax is trying to ask him the questions by using runabout way instead of direct and that caused Yaotl to be irritated with him but he refuses to show any emotions. He is not the one to beat around the bushes or take a long way around to ask questions, if he want answers, he will ask questions directly and get it done with. "I wish then I would probably be better off than this current stage." he simply says. If Ajax wanted to play this game, then he shall play it as well. "It wasn't just one B'alam." He stretches his body out as his claws extends out, kneading into the earth. "There were so many more than just one, young one."
Conrad The Mighty Sorry about the wait. Have been feeling blarg lately.
