You must defeat my shoryuken to stand a chance!

The white wolf's words echo in Sagat's mind. It was the first time that Sagat had tasted defeat in a very long time. Not since he finished his training with the Tigers of the West. He had been sure of the supremacy of his fighting style, but the scar on his chest served as a cruel reminder that there was one who was stronger.

"Tiger Blow!" Sagat said again. He leapt into the air swiping his right front paw to the sky. He had been practicing this technique in the woods for the past 3 hours. He didn't understand it, his form was identical, but his technique was a pale imitation of the one that had defeated him. He had never seen such ferocity in any creature before, in truth Sagat was lucky to be alive right now in spite of the injuries he had sustained.

Sagat was confused as to what exactly had happened. The fight had been even up until that point. But it was as if some strange power had possessed the white wolf during the final moments of the fight. Was it born of his desperation to win the match? or if not what? Adding to the mystery was that the wolf had left before he could even officially be crowned champion in the competitions closing ceremonies. Few other wolves had seen his opponent and no one knew where he was heading.

None of this deterred Sagat though. He would perfect his Tiger style and search for the white wolf in the red headband across the entire mainland if he had to and when he found that wolf, nothing would stop him from acheiving victory.

Sagat returned to his practicing the Tiger Blow.

Lily, the cyan-eyed female found herself in the odd and poorly described Central Amaru Mainland. She was in a densely wooded area and pretended it was mid-day since the OP decided not to disclose the time of day; a fact that frustrated the irritable female.

Of course, this was not the soft-spoken and young Lily that so many were accustomed to hearing about. This was her mother. Despite sharing similar appearances, the two had almost nothing in common. The daughter - soft spoken, well-intentioned, sweet. The mother - devious, deceitful, and calculative. Among many other things.

Though technically in enemy territory, she was something of a VIP since she was an Akaru pack leader. If she were to be touched by an Amaru wolf identifying with Rowen's forces, it would be hell unleashed for all parties involved. Thus, she enjoyed something of a diplomatic immunity and found that she enjoyed the Amaru Mainland's rich environment.

As she stopped to inhale the crisp air of the woods she heard a noise. A shout, rather. It was obviously a male's voice. Curiously, she stepped forward, seeking the source of the noise. It took her a few minutes, but she finally happened upon the male. A wolf, no less. The male was quite a large wolf with brown fur - that's about all she could make out.

But then, suddenly out of nowhere, the male began practicing some sort of...fighting style? The male flailed his front right paw in the air, striking out, but at nothing in particular. She was accustomed to a number of fighting styles. She could appreciate something exotic, but this was...

The female chuckled in a condescending manner. This fighting style looked to be all show and no power. Despite her confidence in her own ability, she was not one to abandon caution, but the humor of the moment compelled her to put it to the side for this occasion.

Lily stepped forward. "Brute!" she exclaimed quickly and out of nowhere. "Is that supposed to be intimidating, or just a brutish show of masculinity to attract a female?" a slight smirk prevailed over her muzzle. "I assure you that that little...display...won't accomplish either!"

Deep within a hidden dark cave, Cammy sat attentively with her "sisters" listening to their leader's instructions. They served Molf'Wison, a frenzied wolf with a strange aura, and bent on world domination. Wison's plans were very well laid out and methodical. He would spend hours speaking on the important details of all his grand schemes, but the time spent discussing the plans did not bother Cammy or the others. They would listen to every word, howl, cackle, and command Wison gave them. They were his servants and he was their master. As Wison droned on about the great world he was creating, they just stared blankly back at him as if in a trance.

Molf'Wison called his "pack" the Shadawoolf, and it was to be feared. Of those few who know of this organization, Cammy and her sisters were known as the dolfs and the only other known members of the pack besides Wison. The goal of this strangely organized group was always to gain Wison more power throughout the land and the Amaru Mainland was gradually feeling its pull more and more. The current phase of Wison's schemes was to eliminate key important members throughout the area. Some killings were at random to show power and promote fear, but others were important because certain wolfs stood in the way of Wison's assent to Supreme Alpha Wolf of the World.

Each of the dolfs was given specific orders on their part in Wison's next maniacal scheme. A specific target was given to Cammy and she was to work alone on this task. Cammy was always treated slightly differently than the others, but she never put thought into why this was, in fact, she never put any thought into any of Wison's orders. She simply listened and obeyed, and Wison favored her for this and another darker reason. Cammy's current mission was one of both assassination and reconnaissance. She was to acquire information on her target's fighting techniques and styles of combat before killing her.

She would not dare to fail Molf'Wison in observing and killing Lily.

Sagat was irritated that his training was interrupted, but in truth he was more irritated at how little progress he was making. "I was in these woods for their solitude, but it seems I didn't go deep enough." Sagat paused to look over the female wolf. Sagat was pretty good at sizing up a creature's combat prowess just by looking at them. He could tell that this female wasn't the pathetic creature that many of the wolves in this land seemed to be, but she was far from being an expert in the art of combat like him or the wolf in the red headband.

"As to what I was doing, I was training. Striving for perfection of body and technique, something a wolf like you would never understand. I'll admit that technique looks a little silly, but you wouldn't be laughing if you had seen that wolf's paws." Sagat took offense at the suggestion that he could have been doing something so base as intimidation or attracting a mate. In truth, being raised by Tigers he never had any opportunity to look for a mate. Even though he was now in a land with more of his own kind, the thought simply hadn't even occurred to him until now. Sagat

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go continue my training alone." Sagat began walking away. He was completely unfamiliar with the Amaru Mainland but for some reason he felt as if he knew exactly where to go. It was almost as if he was being called to some place. After walking for an amount of time that will not be specified, Sagat saw a cave in the distance.

"This will be perfect for my solitary training," he thought.

[Rowen]

Lily rolled her eyes, partially amused and partially disappointed as Sagat first spoke. It did not take a trained mind to deduce that the woods were not haven of solitude. He went on further to explain that he was 'training' to perfect himself. She wasn't new to the idea of a fighting style that was harmonized with the mind, yet she found she preferred influencing the minds of others to achieve her ends. It was easier, and, at the end of the day, didn't have her training during an unspecified time of day. Though training was useful, she had to admit.

"Brute, the woods would be unsafe regardless of how far you chose to wander in. It's not a haven, it's merely a place filled with all kinds of ways to be spied upon." she stuck her nose up in the air, acting superior.

"Furthermore, that kind of fighting discipline is -" Lily snapped her head to the side as she realized Sagat had suddenly lost interest in the situation. Not on her watch. Not after the male had had the audacity to tell her a wolf was not capable of such a style. If there was one thing that made the irritable female more, well, irritable, it was someone cutting her off before she had her say. That and not knowing the time of day due to cloud cover or other curious circumstances when such details go omitted for any number of reasons.

"Don't you turn your back on me, you Mainland brute!" Lily snapped furiously after Sagat had turned and left. She didn't expect that Sagat knew his way, though neither did she suspect 3rd party modifications such as maphacks were to blame for his seemingly wayward motions Sagat was entirely ignorant to the area's topography. After all, all Mainland wolves seemed to lack a certain intellect.

The female took a quick look around before running off in pursuit after the male, a low growl that might have otherwise been considered a looping sound file had wolves been keen to such things. "I will find you." she yelled into the woods as she chased after him, though the male had taken off so fast that finding him might be a delayed endeavor.
