Elegance Darkly flew over the Yvit Cove, her wings spreading wide and regal. Well, for the most part. Her right wing fluttered awkwardly, being a bit smaller than her left. However, the keiyou didn't let this ruin her mood. Her pelt was soft and silky, so brown it was almost black. Her eyes were the pink-blue of the sky just before sunset. Her thin lion-like tail waved behind her in a manner befitting of her name.
Cool and serene, Elegance cut a lovely sight against the mid-day sky. She couldn't help but laugh, a sound like a thousand silver bells ringing in unison. Such a sweet sound... but it hid a monster behind its pleasant ring.
With a flick of her tail, Elegance angled earthward. She plummeted the hundred or so feet to the ground before pulling up sharply, raising a cloud of sand as she did so. She coughed, ridding the sand from her lungs before peering around with a deadly interest.
In one direction lay the sea, full of fish, no doubt, but also most likely blind serpents or other large fish. Not to mention that most fish didn't lurk in the shallows, and Elegance didn't want to risk wetting her wings. In the other direction lay a meadow of beach grass, probably full of jackalope and little else. Elegance made her way towards it, crouching into the tall grasses and moving silently.
A jackalope, unaware of the Keiyou, nibbled on the flora, completely at ease. A leap, a squeal, and Elegance held the wriggling little thing gently in her jaws. She made soothing cooing noises, willing it to be still.
I'm not going to hurt you, she said in her head, at least... not yet...
A rustle in the bushes, another jackalope? Elegance held her latest victim tightly but carefully. She didn't want it dead yet. Her ears swiveled to listen, her nose twitched. No, it was just a jackalope...
Slightly shaken but relieved, Elegance resumed calming the still wiggling jackalope. She wasn't certain why she was so afraid. After all, art was meant to be seen, right?
The jackalope stopped squirming, and Elegance put it down.
"Good..." she purred, her voice sounding like a chorus from heaven. The jackalope was still, looking up at her with a mixture of fear and confusion, "Now, be a good boy and don't wiggle again!"
A squeal, a tear, blood. Elegance began her latest work of art.

Sailoon was relaxing in a bash of fresh tall sand. She had her tail because she layed in a shallow puttle which was drenched with dirt and muck. The sand though felt good agains her fur. The cool air around her though became wind and whiped accros her fur and scales. Sailoon grumbled slightly. The smell of the water though smelt rather amazing and seemed like it could rain because of how dark the clouds were becomeing. She felt like she was going to fall asleep.
Sailoon slightly jummped as a jackalope about ten feet away from her head splated as another wolf tore it apart. She slowly got up letting her golden fur appear. Though she dident think she should desturb a eating wolf. Blood smeered over the wolf's muzzle and her dark fur seemed to not recoil from the snipping wind as Sailoon's did.
She sat there silently as 'art' began to be created from the gore and blood splatting onto the sand and beach grass. Sailoon slightly backed away. She had a bad feeling about this wolf. And she would know bad from mad.

Elegance finished her work with her initials, smeared in blood in the sand beside the remains of the jackalope. The poor beast's insides had been rearranged into a gruesome smile, and it's bone's had been either removed or broken as Elegance saw fit.
"Absolutely beautiful," she sighed, then, as was her custom, she gave a long, musical howl to call others towards her. She wanted everyone to see her art, and what better way to call them than through sound?
Another sound. Wolf? Jackalope? The former, it seemed. Elegance licked the blood from her muzzle and paws then turn to greet the newcomer with a grin as genuine as a crocodile's. Her sweet voice called to the new wolf, a Cael, if she wasn't mistaken.
"Why hello there," she cooed, just like she had cooed to the jackalope before she killed it, "I didn't see you there!" The wolf seemed to be backing away slowly, and Elegance realized she must have seen the creation of her "art."
Waving a paw dismissively, she tried to reassure the other that she meant her no harm... at the moment.
"I'm sorry, I have a horrible habit of loosing myself and killing small things..." she said in a cool, calm tone, "I wouldn't harm another wolf though. I can control it that much!" A lie. She would kill whatever would sit still long enough to let her. She enjoyed it. She found the scent of blood soothing.
"My name is Elegance Darkly," smooth and docile, she sidled closer to the Cael, "I'm honored to meet you, and might I comment upon your fur? It's absolutely lovely! I've never seen anything like it! Gold is completely new to me!" Her smile grew wider as she met the Cael's eyes, "Might I inquire after your name?" she purred.

"Sailoon... what brings you here?" She asked as she stopped moveing back and removed any emotion on her face. But she could feel the dark meaning behind her light words. The meer sound of her voice made her shutter but she did not show it. Sailoon then sat down but felt crowded by her darkness sorounding her. She could almost feel her words turning into poisionus darks being thrown at her. She hid a shiver as well as she could.
But what could be seen was that Sailoon was not casted under Elegance's dark spell. She took another gulp, swollowing down the feeling to call her a lier. But as strange as it was... she was takeing this quite well and this may have been her nicest first impression yet. Though little did she know and yet alot that this wolf in front of her was a ture murderur and is not so pridefull to not show it.
She quickly draged her tail out of the water and even quicker put sand on it so the salt in the sand could dry her so her legs could return. But Sailoon dared not to take her eyes off this wolf. If looks could kill then she would be dead.

"Sailoon...
"Sailoon.... lovely name! I like it..." Elegance gave a feline-like curl of a smile. She sat down, studying the way Sailoon dragged her tail from the water and commenced trying to dry it as soon as possible. Was she afraid. Elegance's nose twitched. From the scent of things, it seemed she may be.
"As for what brings me here, 'twas nothing more than a whim. I haven't really got anywhere else to be, so I thought 'May as well be here!' And so I am," Standing back up, she took a few steps away from Sailoon.
"Dear Sailoon," she said in her musical voice, her words more sang than said, "Do you appreciate the arts? Music, philosophy, sculpting..." she stressed the last word, tilting her head so that her lovely little display was visible past her perked ears, "Ah, I can sculpt with anything I lay paws to! You'd make a lovely specimen for me to create with! I'm sure I could make your likeness in a new jackalope! Wouldn't it be lovely to come here some day and see your face made in bone?" Each word held a dark meaning, but Elegance didn't really want to kill Sailoon. She just loved seeing others squirm with discomfort.
"All you'd have to do is stay still for a moment..." The smile of the Devil split her muzzle, and in the fading sunlight, one could almost swear her tongue was forked.

Sailoon almost seemed annoyed by the neddles that were sent her way. "Music yes.... I guess so. And I will take your word for your... sculpting... skills. And I guess you may.... I dont really see any harm in that." Sailoon said looking off a bit, pondering to herself, then looking back at Elegance. She studdyed the wolf for a moment, she looked as if she was as strong as Sailoon. By the looks of it, she very well could be.
She then quickly looked at her once prey and now 'art'. Sailoon looked at how she had killed it so that possibly Sailoon could pick up some of her tacktics. She looked back up at Elegance. Sailoon studyed one last time at her posture and her words of dark flame.
Sailoon felt that she had to be carefull of what she said and did. She might have acualy been doing a smart thing for a change. But also very stupid for even listening. Sailoon stayed as still as possible so Elegance could do her 'art'. And also very slowly did Sailoon's tail began to shift back into golden legs and a fluffy tail.
The green around her mid section was only thing moveing. Along with her fur that whiped around with the wind. Though Sailoon did wounder how this would turn out.

Elegance gave her Devil's smile once again and turned her back to Sailoon to go hunting for another jackalope. Bounding into the grass, she landed directly before her latest prey. Startled, the jackalope didn't react quickly enough.
Elegance trotted back with the soothed beast a short while later. Grinning at Sailoon, she dropped the becalmed jackalope and studied it from all angles. Then, with a single lethal claw, she slit it's throat and began to remove its pelt.
Bones were delicately removed from flesh, and arranged in the likeness of Sailoon's face. The organs trailed behind to become a body, and the rest became a tail. Using her sharp teeth, Elegance began covering everything from the tail up with fur, and then stepped back to admire her work.
"It looks just like you, don't you think?" she purred, "Alas, gold fur isn't something I can get hold of, but I believe this will do, right?" she licked her paws and muzzle clean once more then looked to Sailoon, "It is such a rarity... if only I knew where to get it, I'd use it for almost everything..."
"What does it feel like to kill?" A memory of some one, she didn't know who.
You'll never find out," a voice, cool and lovely. Her own.
Elegance returned to study her work.
"Yes... for everything..."

Zero soared lowly, his huge white wings spread out wide, preparing for a land. A sudden gush of scent hit his nose, he opened his mouth to study it, he remembered quite quickly, prey his senses told him, as he circled near the cove, his gray eyes hinting towards the scent, catching site of two other wolves, one Keiyou, another lookde like a Cael. His breath quivered, as he tried to do a proper landing, it had taken him weeks to practice how to land properly, he just wish he wouldn't stuff up. His thick neck fur protected him from the strong winds that hitted his face, but his strong wings weren't knocked out of direction easily. He flapped once as his tail straightened, prepared to land, he flapped again, seeing a stony smooth ground underpaw. He made his wings go limp, as he lands on all fours, knowing he was swifter on land than in air. He held his breath, as slowly he stalked towards the two wolves that were settled, he slipped behind some cover and watched them quietly. Hoping he won't get caught.

(Awww... Zero looked like a fun charictar)
Sailoon nodded. She did in fact acualy kind of liked the art she had created... though a bit unpleasent that it was made with preys flesh, blood, and bones. "Thank you... and I do admire your work." Sailoon said plesently. " When did you start this talent?" She then asked for it seemed like she had been doing art like this for many many years. Sailoon relaxed a little more than she had been.
Another dart of wind blew accros her face, a little more harsher now. Sailoon shiverd slightly because of how cold it was getting. Though it wasent as bad as it could be. And the waves as she could tell were at its lowest.
Sailoon began to think that Elegance might not be as bad as she thought...

Elegance beamed at the praise. She thought could see a hint of uncertainty, probably because her little art subject had actually seen how the art was made, but she dismissed it. Why cloud a job well done with thoughts of scrutiny?
"When did you start this talent?"
Elegance gave a haunting smile, not quite Devilish, not quite friendly.
"That's quite the story..." she said, "One that... well... it isn't pleasant to hear, to say in the least. It's the sort of story that... wards others away, once they hear it..." she looked out to the receding ocean. Her thick coat was keeping out most of the oncoming night's chill, but she couldn't help but shiver.
How long ago had she started this macabre hobby? She was only three, so... not to long. She'd only just left her pack, it seemed! However, the restless souls of... of who knew how many hung about her, making her act and feel older than she really was. Elegance pondered Sailoon's question a bit more. Was there a good way to answer that? Would she feel better if she just admitted to her past?
Maybe if she did, she'd have to kill Sailoon.
But did she want another soul on her head, just another life dragging her down?
Elegance's smile had dropped, but she picked it right back up, much less bright, a little less haunting.
"No, I don't think I'll tell you. It's a story best kept secret..." What was this odd sentimental feeling? Elegance wasn't used to it. It was a soft longing... for what? A friend? Someone she wouldn't kill later on? Was that it?
Attempting at a joke, Elegance poked her art and gave a cheesy smile, something her usually coy, lovely face didn't usually give.
"Hey, if you think about it, it's edible art!" she gave a weak chuckle, looking to see what Sailoon had thought. In it's own way, the strange art made from a jackalope really was edible. It wasn't anything any other wolf hadn't eaten a thousand times when life was a little rough!
"Do you get it?" Elegance didn't look Sailoon in the eye. She was afraid of reflecting the souls of all her victims in them. She didn't want the Cael to see that.

Sailoon sat silently as she thought upon the question. As the moments passed, Elegance had dicided to keep it as a secret. It was fine to Sailoon because they had only met and it was only natrual to keep alot of things to self until one can compleatly trust. She saw as Elegance's poster had slightly changed from deveious to unhappy. Seeing her shoulders had slightly droped and a frown had settled. But quickly after it had she had smiled again. Quick recovery Sailoon might add.
Sailoon lauphed quite stupidly at the joke. " Oh so true, so true." She said still slightly giggling afterwards. Sailoon looked at the art once more. The more she looked at it, the better it seemed. Mabey she got the wrong impresstion at first. She useuely dose.
Sailoon sat up better as her tail had slowly emerged back into a fluffy tail and two legs. She gave a relacted sigh as she looked off at the water. She listend as the waves crashed down in a rythemic patern. She could feel the life of the ocean in her very heart. Most Caels can because it was were they belonged. But Sailoon could also feel slightly the scars on her back legs and tail that were hidden by fur. She felt the slight pain of when those scars had been freshly mad by sharks. She rememberd the venomes teeth, hard tails, and black beaded eyes. Sailoon slightly shived.
Sailoon looked back at Elegance. She seemed uncertan of herself and almost ashamed. Sailoon could feel that. Her green eyes sofend. Possibly she had a dark path of her own, most did. Her story might have been part of her reson to creat the edibal art. Who really knows?

Elegance grinned, glad Sailoon had laughed. She hadn't made a proper joke in quite awhile, nor had she gotten close enough to anyone to hear them laugh at whatever jokes she made.
For once Elegance's smile was real, the sort of joyful, bright stretch of her muzzle that usually she reserved for those she planned on harming. However, this time it was being used for... well... Elegance wasn't sure what sort of word could be used for this. What she began to consider Sailoon.
"Wanna be friends?"
Another memory. This time with an image. Another Keiyou. Names were hazy, she must have been young. The words were coming from her own mouth. The other Keiyou apparently agreed, for this memory was followed by other warm, happy ones of times spent with her.... yes! That was the word! Her friend!!!
Now those same words came from her mouth again. The youthful voice of memory began the angelic voice of present.
"Wanna be friends..?" the words came more uncertainly. Elegance was suddenly glad for her dark fur, hiding her blushing face, "I-I mean, I'd understand if you didn't wanna be friends... I'm..." What? Not normal? Anti-social? A murderer? She didn't know how to finish that sentance, "I suppose I must seem rather odd..."
She looked beseechingly at Sailoon, already steeling herself for rejection. She would understand... but would she be able to leave it just like that? Elegance wasn't quite sure what she would do if Sailoon refused. But... but at least she gave it a go!

"Sure.... I'd like that. Don't worrie, some say I am quite odd too." Sailoon chuckled a bit. Acualy... it had been a while since she acualy made any kind of alience. It made Sailoon happy. She was even suprized she would make friends so quickly with Elegance. Welll, supose that was a good thing. Its much, much better to be friends then to not be. Sailoon relized that she was relaxed... in a long time she had never been so relaxed since the shark attack. Useualy the only time she is this relaxed is when shes asleep or resting. It sort of made her feel good even more.
And of course, her first impresstion may have been wrong. Usualy is. Sailoon should have expected this wolf to be nicer than she inticipated.
(Sorry for shortness)

"Sure... I'd like that."
Elegance's heart nearly stopped. Sailoon... actually wanted to be friends? A strange sort of joy filled the Keiyou's heart. It was like being a puppy again! She had a real friend again!!!
Tail wagging with true happiness for the first time in a long time, Elegance's smile grew even wider.
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you!" she cried happily, "I haven't had a friend in ages! I'm so happy..." she really, truly was, too. Perhaps the source of all her murderous intent had been loneliness. Having a friend... it took all the anger out of her actions, all of the cool, coy darkness out of her posture and words. All the evil... was gone!
Pleased, Elegance performed a shuffling dance of glee.
"So, what shall we do first?" asked she, halting her dance, "I'm not certain what friends do together, so... it's up to you!"
