Cutting the snakes head

[balor]

Vikas trotted to the border between Shadow keepers and what was once Mountain Valley territory. It would have had the fresh scent of moor if it weren't for the reek of Kings in the wind. "This is the place." He snarled passing the invisible line of border. He lifted his leg and marked the road with his scent. This was his home and he was going to make sure Sparrow knew it. That Sparrow would always know.

"Vikas!" Balor barked from behind. "What are you doing?" The alpha didn't answer. "Don't you want them to think we've given up? Their guard will be down."

"No." The red male snarled. "I want them to feel the pressure I'm exerting. I want their heart to pound in fear."

"Their guts will laugh in glee that you've driven us out here."
"You didn't have to come."
Balor rolled his eyes and turned to Myria. "We need a plan. Do you have any ideas?"

[Myria]

First, bickering amongst ourselves will solve nothing. Keep your alpha male testosterone levels to a minimum; we all want to be rid of the Kings. She turned to Balor and offered a half smile.

I had one idea, but I don't know how it will play out. I was thinking...that I would head in alone. Knowing Sparrow, he would have sentries posted about the territory. I can coax them out, one by one and you two can silence them.

Other than that, I was considering setting traps. Something like Rayne's plan...only...though this is dangerous-I thought we could somehow use the monsters' scent to help us. Their camp is only a way off...perhaps we can pilfer some things and use their scent to mask ours. The Kings know of the monsters...perhaps they fear them. That could aid us. the female beta looked between her mate and her alpha while she awaited their replies.
