Apollo wandered through the bushlands. He squinted around him and plonked himself down. "Damn" he muttered. He really should have brought Duin. His eyesight was damn near perfect while his was getting worse. He could see sillouets and out lines, some random sploches of colour, the rest was guess work, or atleast semi.
His sence of smell filled in the gaps, trees were a husky green colour depending what sent they let off, the ground was a murky brown, little animals let off there own little sents and in his minds eye, he could see almost perfectly.
A shadow passed by, it left a rosie smell, one that would have looked- Well beautiful.
Mae had been following the old coger for a while. She'd laughed quietly as he blundered along. Stupid old Kazimir she said to herself. As he neared where Ares was hunting at she dashed forward towards him. In low voices she wispered huridly to him. "Ares we have a problem, that old Kazimir you were telling me about- That Orange idiot, he's headed this way."
Apollo melt a 'rat'. He could smell Ares and his clan around. But had no idea where. "To close for comfort" he mumbled to himself. "Cant he stick to his own area."

Ares looked to Mae, an almost pleased look on his face. "Really? Which direction?" His eyes surveyed the land surrounding them. He made a few, almost silent, calling noises to round up Isis and Makito.
Isis was only a few yards away, she had been stalking rabbit. She hear Ares and huffed lightly under her breath. She -almost- had dinner. It had been at least two days since they had eatten. Food was scare in the West. She turned away and headed towards Ares.

Mae quietly lead him in the direction of Apollo. She seemed to slink- Or.. Depending on who saw her, slink away from Ares. She didn't know what was going to happen. And quite frankly she was rather scared of the look on Ares face. But she obayed. For some odd reason she was... Attracted? No.. Pulled towards him like a magnetic field.

Makito seemed to appear behind Ares and the others. His steps made no sound in the grass as he moved. His eyes and ears alert, all he needed was a command.
Ares looked to Mae and nodded. He was pleased with her scouting abilities. Ares motioned for Isis to go right and for Makito to go left. The kazimir headed to surround Apollo.
Ares looked to Mae. "Mae, you might not want to be around for this. I could get ugly." he whispered. Ares was going to propose a challenge to Apollo, one that would determine the fate of Apollos pride and territory.

Mae nodded and half bowed half ran off towards a safe direction. Maybe if she hunted for them, when they return they will be very pleased either way.
Apollo stopped. He could smell some kind of fowlness in the breeze. There was no exscape. Trapped. Damn Ares. He squinted around him trying to judge what direction they'd come from. The smells mingled apon his nose he couldn't pick it, they just swamped him. And a thought hit him. It was a bad one for this kind of situation. But he knew where he stood. Basically dead. "Take a bath, you all stink I could smell you a mile away." He snarled. "Ares show yourself. you gret cowardly beast." Yep. He was either going to be serverly hurt.. or dead. In his case prefurably the latter. As he wanted to watch his newest generation come into the world.

Isis and Makito crept around, prowling the old Kazimir. Their footsteps light and they're bodies hidden by the tall swaying grass, and, Apollo's poor eyesight.
Ares had a wicked smirk cross his muzzle. "So bitter...Brother." He stepped foward but not close enough for Apollo to -really- focus on him. He wanted to evaluate Apollo's health. "You know, it's not safe for elders to roam alone. There are terrible creatures that prowl these lands for prey." He sat and curled his tail around, almost amused at Apollo's situation.

Apollo snorted and sat down, "Only one of you, eh? Wheres your friends... I believe its the first time I've seen you without them." Apollo tried to look directly at Ares but unfortuantly for him, he looked to far to the left of him and squinted a little. Both of which were noticable to the 'war' Kazimir not far from him. He sighed, "Come now. The lands of the Kazimir are never to trechurous for the elders. We live it remember." He wanted Ares angery. Angery Ares equals a posible chance for safety... Maybe. "To asure you young one. I am probably now an equal mach now with my aching bones and poor body."
He mentally slapped himself. Age had taken his mouth for a walk and dropped it off at the 'ramboling societly of the elderly' It had taken some lessons returned and never knew when to shut up.
He coughed. His lungs wheezed and his eyes blured in pain. A spray for bloodied saliva hit the floor as he rasped. Apollo the great- Was I ever great? He wondered, Or was I the angery Kazimir who thought he knew it all and didn't? Either way, he snorted- Which in turn sprayed a little more blood onto the floor that had cought there from his cough.
"Ares. Would you pride yourself by killing an Elder. Where would it get you? The prides would hate you, do you think you'd gain a place with the stars? Or do you see this as doing them a favor?" Apollo cocked his head to the side, unaware of how vonerable he really was.
The stench of Ares coverd the smell of his pride. His haterd for Ares cut off every other sence. But he hoped serverly that the Kazimir was only here to try scare him.

Ares watched as the elder Kazimir gazed too far past him, almost laughed when he weezed and coughed up blood. "You're useless now, Old Man. Do you think -you're- doing them any good by still being here?" Ares stood up and slowly circled Apollo, his voice loud and determined. "The once mighty...now the meak." He snorted and stopped.
"Would it pride me to kill you?" He paused and shook his head. His mane swaying violently. "No. It would pleasure me." He said very boldly. "The prides already hate me. Tell me, what would be different except for the fact that I can lie down tonight with a smile upon my face, knowing that your pride and Duin's will all be seeking revenge for their pitiful excuse of a loss."
Isis and Makito lay crouched and still. All they needed was one sign. One sign would end the life of this once great Kazimir.

Apollo blanched. What? Yes he was old. But pitiful. He never let the pride see him the way he was. Duin didn't know of the long suffering Apollo was enduring, the harsh breaths he takes the ripping of the coughs... The drowning sensation. He knew he was on deaths door. He'd had his fun and was rocking up to see if he made the stars. Valient. No. Brave. An old man takes on a rouge Kazimir for the good of his pride. - Another cough raked through his body. His head spun. "I won't die for your sake." He sneered at last, his breath back. Droplets of blood splashed onto the ground from his mouth.
Controld anger from many years burst into the old cogers muscles. His haterd for Ares spurred the old Apollo dwelling deep within his ailled body. Arthritis stopped him manuvering as precicely as he wished as he leaped forth. Claws outstreached he aimed for Ares. Hopeing apon all hope to do some kind of damage. He felt happy to be in action, but worried he'd miss his side racking attack.

Ares was on his feet, he could see the muscles in Apollos body tightening. "You're worthless, Brother. You'll 'rest' easy tonight."
Ares saw Apollo's attack, his own claws extended. Apollo didn't seem to realize that he was surrounded. Ares would fight only through the first few blows. Isis and Makito would finish the elder.
"Do you honestly expect victory tonight, Apollo?" Ares roared "You're too slow and weak." his voice came out in a hurried growl as he moved to dodge and block.

Apollo old and not so nimble cound't ajust in time to Ares movements and colided heavily into the ground. There was a crack as he landed heavily breaking two ribs. He raised slowly to his feet and turned to face Ares, a look of stunned fear crossed his face. He'd missed. Thats not a good advantage on his behalf, his leap missed its target. He knew it was over. But he wasn't going down with out a fight though... His hackles raised poised to strike if Ares got to close.

Ares watched as Apollo hit the ground. He heard the crack, he knew that sound. He smiled wickedly. His shoulders broadened and his fur stood on end as he lowered his body closer to the ground. He moved towards Apollo as though he were stalking him in a mocking way.
"Tonight, Apollo, you will join your damned stars....Do not fear though, many of your pride will soon be joining you. I only desire a few of them to live." he was close enough that these words came out almost in a teasing whisper to the once mighty Apollo.
Ares didn't wait, his fury shown through his eyes...through his bared teeth. He wanted to roar to let all of the Kazimir know what was about to happen, but he knew that he should save that information for later use. He knew that the prides would suspect him of killing Apollo, but no one would know for sure...at least not right now.
With that, he looked to Isis and Makito. It was time to finish Apollo.
Isis and Makito stalked through the tall grass as Ares talked and taunted Apollo. Teeth sharp, claws bared..it was time. Ares motioned for them and they came with speed. Apollo put up a good fight for a kazimir that was loosing his health, but it didn't take long before Isis and Makito had their share of him.

Apollo paused. More?! Were from. The blurred vision of Ares blackend as his two followers launched there attack, "Weakling, you fear me to put your scoundrel little-" His threat was knocked short as teath rapped around his throat.
The real fight for life began. The painful throb in his cheast reaches climax as he struggled to gain a grip on his foe's. His claws swipping at anything that moved. He felt it coming. Makito from behind barged him over, he fell winded badly and gasping for air. His flanks and soft underside showing his weakness. The pair lunged. Apollo saw clearly around him, colours smells, Ares. The last thing he was to see. With his last breath, "You wont win... Ce...ll...est---" The golden orang bulk that was the former pride king, the eldest Kazimir of the Kazimir Pride... Bled freely onto the ground, his sacred blood leaking till it's last drop in a wide circle. Slowly flames erupted from around him, as if a fire had magically started, stopping anyone or thing from getting to him.
Apollo, King of Kazimirs, was no more. He lay slain to Ares, son of war, Makito the death dealer, and Isis the silent hunter. Yet the old Kazimir knew, not many would actually know what happened..
He looked down apon himself. Then up at the stars. "Will you have me?" He waited for there answer.

When Isis and Makito had their fill, they let go of Apollo's limp body and moved back behind Ares. Their eyes filled with rage.
"Fear....I don't fear you, Apollo." He looked up at the stars that Apollo always knew he would rise to, his voice evil and raspy "I wouldn't have wasted my breath on you."
He took a final look at the corpse surround with blood. "We should be off. The others will know soon." He looked to Isis and Makito. "Wash yourself up in the stream on the way back in. Not a word to Mae of these events." He still needed her untarnished...for now.

Unknown to Mae the events that had unfolded that day, she caught them two rather plump rabbits on her return to there lands. She waited patiantly for there return, to show her loyalty with her offering.
