Crimson Claws & Fangs ch.27

     Seasons come and go, time passes, now it is spring. Late in the semi-warm night next to a pond in up state New York Samantha, now Crimson V even in her own mind sits there in her full were-dire form just thinking loudly to herself, “Versa has told me she wants me as her consort, just like Yasha is Kitsu’s consort. And this place, the entire East Coast in fact she wants to make Riska’s territory, taking it away from her other daughter Censa.”

 

    Behind Crimson V Censa appears like a ghost, in her very large and imposing full quadruped form, looking like some strange cross between a wolf, a white tiger, and zebra thanks to her fur pattern and build. Censa growls at Crimson V, “What!?”

 

    Versa in her giant humanoid form with Riska, now nearly as large as her mother, standing beside her. Censa turns back smoothly as though made of liquid into her giant humanoid form and turns to Versa, “What is this? You have this were-dire in my territory just a stone’s throw away from my home projecting her thoughts to lure me out with this story of dividing up my territory.”

 

    Versa crosses her arms across her large breasts snuggly, “my dear, you only ever stay in New York and never patrol the length of the area labeled as your territory. While I at least traveled up and down the length of the Rocky Mountains, granted I had one particular spot I liked the most to revisit once every three months, and prepared for my last breeding period.”

 

   Censa smirks, “and what of the West Coast? Why not have Riska look after that.”

 

    Versa shrugs, “Rish is getting that area. Rhuen has already been grooming him to deal with the crazies out there, and Rish has already established himself out there. So of all the zones I think the East Coast of the USA is the best for Riska, best to spread siblings out a little ways, and besides this wouldn’t be the first time sisters have overlapped territories. Not to mention Riska has already expressed her opinion that she wants to primarily stay in Florida. So you would get from Quebec down to this country’s capital and Riska gets Florida up this country’s capital.”

 

   Riska chimes in, “Why would I want this frigid place when I can just hang out on the beach?”

 

    Censa reluctantly agrees to the terms so long as Riska agrees to stay out of her way and try and not occupy the same area at the same time as her.

 

    While they are discussing these details another woman appears on the scene, a young woman with metallic gold hair, Goldy, Censa’s secretary.

 

    Goldy walks up to Crimson V, “So you’re Crimson Vixen right?”

 

    “Yes.” She replies

 

    “Well,” says Goldy, “that means your Versa’s consort then right? You should be very proud. I heard Versa hasn’t had a consort in millennia, not since back when she first created were-dires. Yeah she made the first ones, but come to think of it those weren’t really consorts so to speak, more like warriors.” Goldy puts her hands behind her head looking at the sky, “I hear she usually just stays alone, only occasionally hanging out with her immediate family members like her sisters or Rhuen.”

 

 

    Versa indicates for Crimson V to come to her ending their conversation. The negotiation has ended, the two groups opening portals to their homes. As Riska walks through last she turns to Censa saying, “See you around sister.”

 

    Censa and Goldy walk through there portal appearing in lavishly decorated mansion’s living room with Censa already in her human form wearing her usual business attire as though she changed in the portal.

 

   Goldy turns to Censa curious, “excuse me, but I am confused, if I may ask why didn’t you contend Versa’s decision more?”

 

    Censa smiles, “The territory bit here is only a formality, a kind of hold over from something from long before I was even born. Amongst the adults it’s not really looked at very often, but it keeps the younger ones in line and gives them something to do. Besides my influence, the Oblivion Corporation, and the H.E.P., reaches across the globe and beyond.”
