Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Post order Chobi - Kasai - Amon ))

It had taken over a week for Laufeyson's spider bites to not itch so bad. The dark accented cub was so mad at his sister that to this very moment he'd been plotting his revenge. Not only had he gotten covered in spider bites but it took hours for him to be found in the dark alone in the roguelands. Lets just say that Amora was his least favorite sibling as of this moment.

He gloomed in the family den and thought about just how he was going to do it but nothing seemed devious enough. Leaving him alone to get lost with a bunch of spiders had been a pretty brilliant plan and his sister had come up with it on the fly. Maybe he was over thinking it or maybe he should let it go.

No. He was not gonna let it go like some disney princess. Revenge was the stormborn way. At least the little dark accented cub concluded that revenge must be a stormborns way.

His tail swished to side to side as he sat there and thought.

Odinson had been outside the den, bounding from rock to rock, climbing as high as he could reach. He was looking most pleased with himself, his chest puffed out, looking oh SO VERY MAJESTIC with his new pelt over his shoulders, billowing dramatically in the breeze (shhhh...let the kid pretend).

The white cub was considerably more cheerful than his brother this day. While his siblings had been off getting into mischief, Odinson had been off 'hunting' with father! It had been a grand adventure, full of peril and danger, and they had SLAYED THE MIGHTY BEAST! And by that, I mean he followed Dad on a hunting trip, Dad killed an antelope, and let him bite it oh so viciously! Ha! Clearly it had been his strike that had slain the beast, clearly.

As a reward for his GREAT DEEDS (or more likely to shut him up and because he had a secret weakness for cute fluffy cubs), Tanaka had allowed his son to claim a piece of the antelope's hide. After several days of leaving said hide to dry in the sun, it was ready to wear, and now the adventurous cub wore it like a cape.

With a MIGHTY ROAR! (more like a cute little squeak), Odinson leapt from his rock in triumph before turning to pad into the den looking oh so very proud of himself.

"What troubles you, brother? You do not seem happy today."

The smirk only widened on her maw as Laufeyson's ears flattened against his head. "Oh, the silent treatment dear brother? I can get you to talk," Or scream. Her eyes lit up at the idea as she closed in on her brother, only to pause when Odinson entered the den, wearing his near 'treasure' courtesy of their father.

She rolled her eyes, licking her paws idly as the lighter of the questioned the other.

"Mm. Look, Scratchy does have a voice, doesn't he?" She asked almost boredly, flopping on a rock in the den to rub her shoulder blade. "That pelt looks nice though Odin. It'd be a shame if it were to go missing someday." Another idea for the future? She could blame Mjolnir on that if it were to disappear in the middle of the night.

Laufeyson wanted to respond to his sisters taunts but his anger remained cool and under the skin. He'd not give her what she wanted which was for him to talk and respond but her unwanted attention seemed to fade in favor for Odinson instead. Laufeyson found himself standing closer to Odinson though he could not bring him self to look Amora in the eye.

There was an envy some where deep inside of the dark accented cubs heart that for the ability to let things go as his brother or to be more oblivious about when another was egging him on.

The itching intensified some causing the dark accented cub to dig behind his ear. The damned spider bites were still effecting him to this very day.

"Nonsense! My brother is already a great warrior, he has no need of lessons."

As he spoke, Odin clapped a paw hard on Laufey's back, far harder than he had realized. That smug grin, he was quite proud of his brother. They had after all gone on great adventures together and slain a dragon! (And by dragon he meant their older brother Orm, and by slay he meant headbutted.)

If Amora thought to turn the brothers against each other, it clearly was not working on Odin's part. Maybe you should try less subtlety next time.

"Ah. You say he is such a great warrior, yet in my recollection he was the one who got stuck in the spider home, and now has the bites to prove it. He had to have father go find him and bring him home. He couldn't even manage to do it by himself." She rolled her emerald eyes.

"Jealous?" She barked, laughing. "Cute, Laufeyson." Her gaze flickered between the two brothers. "I don't need the friendship of my siblings." She scoffed. "I'm sure I can get exactly what I want." Amora ended up purring, as she stalked up to the two brothers, rubbing herself against Odinson, before her tail flicked at Laufey. "I mean," she giggled, eyes narrowing, "You just proved my point the other day. So. I guess I have to thank you for that."

Her shoulders rolled as she stepped away from the two. "Although, when both of your are bigger, you will need to decide who is the better warrior." She glanced at Laufey, "Looks like you're losing right now brother. Odinson already has a gift from father. And what do you have?" She flashed a twisted smile.

"Absolutely nothing."

Most of what his sister was saying rolled off of Laufey's back. He knew she was trying to injure his self worth and for the life of him he'd hold on to it for as long as he could. Odin had his back and she had no one on her side right now. But one thing did get through all of his defenses and that was the fact she was right about who would be the superior warrior. Odin was winning as of now as he did have fathers favored gift on his back. The smallest hint of dark feelings of jealousy started to seep through his heart. It was a hair of a crack but that crack was there with in Laufeys heart.

Odins words reassured him that his sister was wrong though. At least he was pretty sure right now he was reassured? Laufey stood there strong and glared at his sister.

"I don't see you with a pelt either." The dark accented cub snorted, "Lets not waste words with her brother. Lets go find another dragon to slay," He turned his back on Amora and started to stalk off. It was clear with his foot steps he was very much frustrated with Amora. He hated that he had some small doubts now but playing with Odin would clear his head he was sure.

..Right?

Odinson only shook his head, he was no longer listening to the words his sister spoke (not that he was really listening to her before), she had nothing worthwhile to say and he was no longer interested. His attention had instead turned to Laufeyson, flashing a broad grin at his brother.

"Pay no attention to her, brother. Come, we will find a great adventure!"

He was already trotting toward the den entrance, completely ignoring his sister and whatever plots she was hatching. They had plenty of time for an adventure! The sun would not fall until they had found a beast to slay! Perhaps they would even find father and he would take them on the most glorious of adventures!

Tanaka meanwhile, was probably rolling his eyes and wondering why the hell all of his children were such drama queens. Clearly they all got it from their mother...
