This was nothing at all like Nate expected, the colony, though holding the same beauty and fashion as Lokan himself had been transformed into a museum of chaos.
Rocks and boulders had been balanced into odd shapes, forming statues with no real form. The vines along the sides of the walls had been pulled in and wrapped around the rocks and trees growing along the inside. Leaves and other decorations were hanging from the vines.
The stream flowing from the waterfall had been altered to twist into what looked like scribbles all the way to a lake in the middle, the ground had been dug out and placed to form what looked like a child's drawing of Jynx.
Edit was standing on top of a tall pile of rocks and growth, performing illusions in the sky. The Haleras below gawked and awed. Some appeared to be fangirling.
Jynx closed his eyes and shook his head. "Edit." He mumbled to himself.
The shadow on the pillar made dragons seem to appear in the sky, dragons that pulled the clouds right out of the sky and ate them like cotton candy.
"We love you chaos!" A Halera screamed below, giggling wildly.
Anu looked around, pulling Cleo tightly. "What the heck is this place?"
Anya shook her head at Jynx. "You really need to keep Edit on a leash."
Haleras began to notice the eclipse, rushing to his side and swarming him.
Jynx looked around as the swarms grew, eyes locked on him from everywhere.
Anya stood closer to him, ears flat as wolves drew too close for comfort.
Jynx's eyes glowed, the ground seeming to crumble below the crowds. The wolves stepped back in shock as Jynx rushed towards the tower, the ground continuing to crumble around him.
This did not help his popularity, the haleras crowding around the crumbling grounds to look inside, more running to follow Jynx.
The eclipse quickly climbed the tower, turning to Edit in annoyance. "What did you do here?"
Edit laughed, looking away. "I- had a little fun."
Jynx shook his head, stepping into the shadow. Edit disappeared immediately. Jynx closed his eyes as all the memories filled him again.
Edit had done more than just getting Lokan into leadership, he had used hallucinations and made the haleras believe he was some type of god. Jynx was now known as the Lord of Chaos and Lokan had made it the halera nation's official religion.
He blinked the memories out, looking at the haleras swarming and screaming down below him. It felt good to be looked at this way but it was wrong. At least getting Lokan to join would be easier now.
If they thought he was the Lord of Chaos, it was too late to change that now. He would need to play the part.
Taking a deep breath, Jynx projected his voice out. "Citizens! Hear me!"
All voices went quiet, excitement apparent as they watched him. "I, Lord of Chaos, will be taking your leader into my-" He looked down at the Wolfpack below him, Anya was covering her face and shaking her head. "-pack of chaos. I will allow him to elect a stand- in leader in the meantime."
Lokan down below seemed shocked, but was already grinning ear to ear and nodding his head so fast it was barely visible.
Jynx sighed, his eyes glowing as the clouds above him swirled and changed colors, raining streamers for effect. He started to turn back down, then looked again at the crowds before. They would suffocate him.
"I, Lord of Chaos require a ten foot distance from myself and every halera. Any wolf within this space, without my permission, will be disintegrated."
The expressions of the wolves below changed dramatically. Jynx grinned to himself, walking back down with crowds at a distance.
The Wolfpack looked at each other with mixed expressions, Anya started towards him. A halera jumped in from of her, eyes wide. "Don't touch the Lord of Chaos! You must stay ten feet away!"
Another halera jumped in front. "You will disintegrate if you don't stay away!"
Anya rolled her eyes. "I have permission."
"Who are you?" A halera raised her eyebrows at Anya, a stylized black mane in her face.
Anya smirked, letting a feeling of fear and awe spread around her to the haleras.
"I am Anya, queen of chaos!"
The wolves gasped, some appeared to cry. "Queen? Oh Anya queen of-"
She pushed the wolves aside before they could swarm her, running to Jynx's side immediately before anything else touched her.
Anu grinned widely, turning to haleras that looked at him curiously.
"Who are you?" The same halera was looking at him now.
He let out a low chuckle. "I am the royal executioner, Lord of Vengeance."
Cleo looked at him, shaking her head that he was really playing along with this. He pulled her in tightly, eyes still on the wolves.
"This is Cleo, queen of hearts."
Anu walked towards the crowds, letting Venom spill onto his tongue and sting the air. "Touch Cleo and I will-"
"Give Vengeance ten feet of room." She said quickly, shooting them warning glances.
All eyes then turned to Nate and Melody.
Nate sighed, shaking his head slowly at the entire situation. Realizing he was the largest creature in the entire area, and probably the largest they had ever seen, he stood tall and let his mane extend.
"I am the bodyguard for the Lord of Chaos, King of Power."
Ooo's and Ahh's spread through the crowds.
Lokan stood amiss the Wolfpack, waving out to the crowds as if on top of a parade float. "You know who I am! You know me!"
"High Chaos Priest!" "We love you Lokan!" "That's my king!" "He is ALL of ours."
A halera looked at Melody curiously, sniffing the air as he grew close. "The girl, queen of desserts?"
Nate let a growl echo from his chest. "My girlfriend, Melody. Keep your distance."
She held the soft black fur in her fingers, glad he was large enough to be out of reach of all the haleras around them.
Venom wolves started to wander off, some mumbling to themselves. "Why are they always taken?" "I know, these wolves are hot." "I like Power." "She's pretty."
The werewolves tried to ignore the voices, Anu shot glances at the wolves at their remarks.
Jynx returned with Anya at his side. "We found your brother, Nate, now let us get out of here before anything else weird happens."
Anu was already getting approached as wolves bowed to him.
"I demand blood sacrifices." He showed his teeth. "This is a chance to get rid of anyone who irritates you."
Anya's eyes widened. "Quickly."
Jynx got moving, the wolf pack following quickly, Anu shouting back at the crowds as they left. "I expect all offerings at my return."
Anya glared at him, pushing him forward and back through the waterfall.
