The air instantly dropped in temperature as they descended. "Well I'm sure everyone will be dragged into such a situation. I am not allowed to get close to my master only fulfill his desires and that is it."He says walking further into damp darkness.
"I feel bad for the prince though. I wonder which one it is," Leonard said. "And how long Markus will keep him around." Leonard stopped as they reached a pile of bodies. "Wow, this is a lot more than 20 Cameron."
Cameron frowns, "Well, maybe we can harness wagons to our backs and shift while we carry them up to the grinder?" He offers a thought realizing there truly was more than twenty there was at least 60. Cameron pulled out one large wagon that would fit up the spiral stiarcase. "Here jsut throw as many as you cna on it."
Leonard nodded. "That should work. See if you can find another cart while I load this one up," and with that he began to lift the bodies off the pile and place them into the cart. When he had first been changed, he had gotten sick when forced to do this duty. Now, he was shocked to find that he simply didn't care anymore.
Cameron nods racing into the dark corridors where so many caged statues existed with glowing crystals around their necks. All having been punished through the Eternal Eye of Sol. Cameron almost felt sorry for the Vampires but then thoughts of his younger brother came back to him. He at last found a cart and went ahead and strapped himself to the harness in the front and shifted quickly before the straps were too tight. He pulled it with ease, but it had no bodies on it. He carried his clothes in his mouth as he raced toward where Leonard was. Shifting back he gives a nod while changing into hsi clothes once more. "Alright let's finish up the bodies." He says. "They should all be stripped of clothing. That way none of the mortal slaves eat cloth." he jokes trying to find something funny out of it. He helps Leonard pile more and more bodies up until eventually there was nothing left but a large puddle of blood and feces. "Ready?"
"Ready," Leonard said. His nose wrinkled slightly as the smell of feces. It was the one thing that he had never been able to grow used to. "We can strip them of their clothes when we throw them into the grinder," Leonard suggested. "Indeed it would be terrible if they have to eat cloth," Leonard said, a small trace of a smile on his lips before he turned serious again. He stripped off his clothes and then strapped on the harness and shifted into a lion.
Cameron followed suit and did the same. He allowed Leonard to lead the way. The dungeons always gave him the creeps. His only goal was to find the killer of his brother. Once he did that all would come together. They beat him and broke his spirit ebfore turning him into a Lycan. Everything in hsi mind seemed hopeless but he had a mission here and it was not yet complete, until then he was to do his job as Valentine's Lycan. He was in his black Jaguar form as he pulled the bodies up the ramps and through the halls. Luckily the shredder was int he dungeons as well. there was not too many stairs to go up, but it was a long trip given the dungeons went straight through the mountains.
After the tricky trip up the stairs, Leonard was grateful that the rest of the way to the grinder was flat. Unfortunately it was a long and boring walk. He walked as fast as he could manage with such a heavy load to pull. When they finally got there, Leonard was panting slightly. He shifted and got himself out of the harness. He then shifted back into a lion and shook his mane, stretching his muscles before shifting back and putting on his clothes.
Cameron was more than happy to release himself as he shifted putting his clothes back on he nodded to the Lycan butcher as they began to pile the bodies into a large metal box. Below that box was a shaft that dropped the bodies down into a meat grinder. There was a butcher in the Xuin village outside of the fortress, but he used real animals for food, nothing human about it. Xuin was a messed up place and even for the time that Cameron had been here he still could not grow fully accustomed to it's ways. He finsihed his load and looked at Leonard, "Alright my work is done what do you have to do?"
"I'm supposed to go and check on the new livestock and give them a scare to make sure they obey the masters," Leonard said as he tossed the las of his bodies in the grinder. "I'm sure a jaguar and lion will instill plenty of fear in them."
Cameron laughs lightly, "Yeah I guess so..." He was not nearly as enthusiastic about it. He was once one of those livestock ebfore being turned into a Lycan. Valentine treated him the same way they were to treat the livestock. "You know there are no Vampires around you can call them what they are, people...slaves...mortals." He says a bit definately. He hated thinking of them as livestock they were people held against their will to feed the creatures who had nothing better to do but drain the life out of innocents.
"I know. It's a bad habit that I wish I hadn't picked up. I have a hard time sometimes thinking of them as something different when we treat them the way we do. I mean, look what we just did to feed them," Leonard said, shaking his head. "We better hurry. I believe the sun will be setting soon."
Cameron nods, "Yes, we best be in a hurry. Valentine is never pleased when I am not finished with my duties." he urges as he follows Leonard out of the bloody place. It was like facing his own fate for when he died he would simply be grinded into food. He rushes out of the hall with Leonard in hopes to get the scaring job finished up. While Leonard was to scare them Cameron would simply give advise to keep them alive.
"Neither is Markus if things are done." He trotted to keep up with Cameron. He took off his shirt so that it would be one less piece of clothing he would have to shed when they reached the place where the mortals were being kept. He planned on shifting before they entered the room and he would shift back to human before they left the room to give them a little bit more of a shock.
((Sorry I was outside clearing brush))
Cameron walked to the cells with him. He removed his shirt going ahead and shifting as he picked up his clothes he pounded through the halls into the livestock and slave holding chambers. Cameron was going to shift and that was all the fright he was going to allow. Then he would talk to them. Cameron walks with Leonard in Black Jaguar form. It took almost an hour to reach the other wing of the dungeons where they were held.

Leonard stripped off the rest of his clothes and put them in a pile outside the room the mortals were in and shifted. He stretched, extending his claws as he did so. He looked at the guard and nodded his head for him to open the door. When it was opened, Leonard walked inside and walked around the perimeter of the room, his tail flicking back and forth.
Cameron walked into the cell of future Lycans who had already been sorted for particular gifts of their own. He growled low before dropping his clothes. He shifted human trying to get used to be in the buff. "I am what you are to become a Lycan...I was sent here ot frighten you and keep you in line, but I refuse to do so. I was once a frightened mortal jsut as yourselves. I come to tell you some advise. When mastering your shift over the moon to will power harness it through what little mortality you sitll have. Always remeber you are human and you will control your inner beast. I'mn not going to hurt you for one day you will be as I am and you will need all the guidance you can get. Do not defy the masters for they will sentence death upon you. I only desire to be free myself, but it seems impossible under the influence of the Vampires.
Leonard shifted as well, coming over to stand next to Cameron. "We know you're probably really scared but trust us when we say this, if you do as your told, they won't treat you too badly. Some of the Vampires can be good masters." Leonard rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh I hadn't actually meant to say anything," he mumbled before shifting back into a lion and sitting next to Cameron.
Cameron nods, "Jsut do as you are told and you won't get killed. Some of oyu will be forced to fight agiasnt each other, but it is for amusement so give them ashow. Perhaps one of youw ill be brave enough or stupid enough to run, but you will enver make it without the numbers. So don't try no one wills tand by your side unless you can truly inspire them with hope. Not to mention outside these walls is miles of cold blizzard engulfed mountains you won't last but a few hours." He syas turning back into a Black Jaguar and racing off.
Leonard turned and raced after Cameron, pausing only to grab his clothes.
Cameron shifted once they reached the upper level of the dungeons pulling his clothes back on. "My work is finished what about yours?" He asks kindly sensing that the Sol was passing and Luna was rising. "Our masters will be rising from their slumbers in at least an hour." He says not realizing that the time had gone by so quickly.
"Yes my work is finished,"Leonard said as he shifted and put on his own clothes. "We should probably go and wait by our masters doors so that when they call, we are there."
Cameron gives a sly nod, "Yes, wait for our masters." He hated the idea of ever considering someone like Valentine any form of master. He hated no longer being human and he hated how the Vampires made so many of the Lycans feel as if they had no other life outside of being what they are.
"Well, thanks for the help Cameron," Leonard said holding out his hand to shake Cameron's. "It was nice to have someone to talk to today." Leonard smiled.
Cameron gives a nod and shakes his hand kindly, "Thank you, Leonard. I hope we can help one another out soon...it was a real time assisting one another." He says walking formt eh dungeons.
