Sven and Yecht were paternal twins from the Jackal tribe. Yecht had the head of the tribe’s namesake, while his brother Sven had only the characteristic long ears and neck. Sven had a much less pronounced muzzle, as his face attempted to appear more human in nature. The both of them were covered with tan fur. When they came to the tree Q was hiding under, their long necks sloped forward in unison as their beady eyes searched within the tall, arching roots for where Q was hiding. They eventually found him and glared, Yecht smirking.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother says we have to speak human around you now,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yecht barked.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother says your tongue is slow,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d mocked Sven.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153My tongue is not slow!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d whined Q, his brown hair covering his face.
\nSven and Yecht always teased him. His mother was human and his father was a halfblood. Q was as removed as the country would allow. He came from the Saluki tribe, an ancient pack of tamed canines. As such, they had a horrible reputation of taking on human mates.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother is never wrong!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yecht howled. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153How dare you imply so!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d His head went deeper into the roots, trying to scare Q out. It only made the Saluki crawl back into them further.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go away!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Q pleaded.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother says your Soul will wake up today,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sven said from behind Q. He had snuck behind the boy while Yecht had kept Q’s attention. Q yelped in surprise, trapped between the two bodies in the huge roots of the tree. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We want to know what Soul Quatre has,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sven said, grabbing Q’s tail. Q whimpered. The tail was the most sensitive part of him.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Yecht must know what puny Soul Quatre has,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yecht said, licking his lips as he crept forward, his long nose soon coming to touch Q’s.<\/p>\n Sven pulled at Q’s tail. Q yowled with pain. Yecht smacked his jaws together in front of Q, who was now shivering. Yecht laughed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother will not find out, will she?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He poked his nose to Q’s forehead and pushed him back into Sven. Sven glared at Q. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What did you do?!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he barked, but then his eyes were overcome with confusion. Yecht’s body shivered for a moment before morphing into that of a traditional, ancient Jackal’s and running off to tell Den Mother about the new Resonance Soul. Yecht, however, inside Sven’s body, was angered. Because Sven looked more human he was lower in caste. This body was a prison and Sven had climbed many ranks in Yecht’s body.<\/p>\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Change me back!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sven’s body screamed. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Quatre!! Den Mother!! Someone?!!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d He howled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"series":[30],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=517"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":575,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/517\/revisions\/575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=517"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cc.khat.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fseries&post=517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nSven grinned.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother says today<\/em>,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Yecht sang, closing in on his prey.<\/p>\n
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Oh Quatre’s tail is very fragile! Quatre must tell us what his Soul is to stop pain,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Sven chuckled.<\/p>\n
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Den Mother will punish you for this method of Awakening!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Q blurted out.<\/p>\n
\nAt that moment, there was a bright light and all of them felt a great, welcoming warmth. A warmth that would comfort but would also betray if held onto for too long. Q felt something pass through him. He would never be able to describe how it felt amazing and terrible at the same time. Sven and Yecht pulled away from Q as quickly as they could muster, and once they were no longer touching Q, the feelings and light vanished.<\/p>\n
\nHe looked past Quatre to Yecht, who was not Yecht.
\nSven was Yecht.<\/p>\n
\nQ’s eyes rolled into the back of his head, and he went limp.
\nSven’s hands shook Quatre’s unconscious form.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Change me back!!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d It was desperate, echoing through the trees as Sven’s voice, although it was Yecht’s mind behind it.<\/p>\n
