Aims and Principles - point by point
Translations of our Aims and Principles and other AF texts are available in: Français/FrenchDeutsch/German,Español/SpanishPortuguês/PortugueseGreek/ÅëëçíéêÜHollands/DutchRussianGaelic/GàidhligWelsh/CymraegEsperanto,Turkish

  1. The Anarchist Federation is an organisation of revolutionary class struggle anarchists. We aim for the abolition of all hierarchy, and work for the creation of a world-wide classless society: anarchist communism.
  2. Capitalism is based on the exploitation of the working class by the ruling class. But inequality and exploitation are also expressed in terms of race, gender, sexuality, health, ability and age, and in these ways one section of the working class oppresses another. This divides us, causing a lack of class unity in struggle that benefits the ruling class. Oppressed groups are strengthened by autonomous action which challenges social and economic power relationships. To achieve our goal we must relinquish power over each other on a personal as well as a political level.
  3. We believe that fighting systems of oppression that divide the working class, such as racism and sexism, is essential to class struggle. Anarchist-Communism cannot be achieved while these inequalities still exist. In order to be effective in our various struggles against oppression, both within society and within the working class, we at times need to organise independently as people who are oppressed according to gender, sexuality, ethnicity or ability. We do this as working class people, as cross-class movements hide real class differences and achieve little for us. Full emancipation cannot be achieved without the abolition of capitalism.
  4. We are opposed to the ideology of national liberation movements which claims that there is some common interest between native bosses and the working class in face of foreign domination. We do support working class struggles against racism, genocide, ethnocide and political and economic colonialism. We oppose the creation of any new ruling class. We reject all forms of nationalism, as this only serves to redefine divisions in the international working class. The working class has no country and national boundaries must be eliminated. We seek to build an anarchist international to work with other libertarian revolutionaries throughout the world.
  5. As well as exploiting and oppressing the majority of people, Capitalism threatens the world through war and the destruction of the environment.
  6. It is not possible to abolish Capitalism without a revolution, which will arise out of class conflict. The ruling class must be completely overthrown to achieve anarchist communism. Because the ruling class will not relinquish power without their use of armed force, this revolution will be a time of violence as well as liberation.
  7. Unions by their very nature cannot become vehicles for the revolutionary transformation of society. They have to be accepted by capitalism in order to function and so cannot play a part in its overthrow. Trades unions divide the working class (between employed and unemployed, trade and craft, skilled and unskilled, etc). Even syndicalist unions are constrained by the fundamental nature of unionism. The union has to be able to control its membership in order to make deals with management. Their aim, through negotiation, is to achieve a fairer form of exploitation of the workforce. The interests of leaders and representatives will always be different from ours. The boss class is our enemy, and while we must fight for better conditions from it, we have to realise that reforms we may achieve today may be taken away tomorrow. Our ultimate aim must be the complete abolition of wage slavery. Working within the unions can never achieve this. However, we do not argue for people to leave unions until they are made irrelevant by the revolutionary event. The union is a common point of departure for many workers. Rank and file initiatives may strengthen us in the battle for anarchist communism. What's important is that we organise ourselves collectively, arguing for workers to control struggles themselves.
  8. Genuine liberation can only come about through the revolutionary self activity of the working class on a mass scale. An anarchist communist society means not only co-operation between equals, but active involvement in the shaping and creating of that society during and after the revolution. In times of upheaval and struggle, people will need to create their own revolutionary organisations controlled by everyone in them. These autonomous organisations will be outside the control of political parties, and within them we will learn many important lessons of self-activity.
  9. As anarchists we organise in all areas of life to try to advance the revolutionary process. We believe a strong anarchist organisation is necessary to help us to this end. Unlike other so-called socialists or communists we do not want power or control for our organisation. We recognise that the revolution can only be carried out directly by the working class. However, the revolution must be preceded by organisations able to convince people of the anarchist communist alternative and method. We participate in struggle as anarchist communists, and organise on a federative basis. We reject sectarianism and work for a united revolutionary anarchist movement.
  10. We oppose organised religion and cults and hold to a materialist analysis of capitalist society. We, the working class, can change society through our own efforts. Worshipping an unprovable spiritual realm, or believing in a religious unity between classes, mystifies or suppresses such self-emancipation / liberation. We reject any notion that people can be liberated through some kind of supernatural force. We work towards a society where religion is no longer relevant.

Paradoxical Being
Introduction (unfinished)

Who is this body that stares at its flesh in a mirror and curses its own existence, when the mountains of skin and bone are wholly self-inflicted, the only creature liable for its current subsistence in life lying behind its own weary eyes? The heart beating within its chest is feeble and weak, metaphorically speaking. If only that was literal, it screams, for what better excuse to die than an unfeigned glitch on a screen? No, the torment roils undetectable and malicious, within the contours of its own mind. 
Excerpts and responses to a contextual RP I run, called The Dystopian Wars


-As Caillech ran she thought of the city and all it held, the hearts within that she had plagued her life to keep beating, even if only for one more day. She tore through the rain, her face a mask of practiced nonachalance whilst a deluge of screaming water raged and wrought destruction upon the flesh within. Her body nursed the flames that burnt through the muscles of her thighs, her chest, whilst her soul threw back its head and roared for more, for pain, for the agony to rise into an unbearable heat. She cursed herself for being so weak, for desiring nothing more than to fall to the ground and quench the need to survive, to protect and serve. The wind howled, pushing the rain into great arcs as the darkened skies thundered above, raging a war that was beyond her comprehension, but a sign that the Gods understood and had unleashed a storm that would ignite the hearts of her pack into preparing themselves for battle, a battle of the likes that they had never seen before. She pulled back her lip, teeth exposed to the piercing rain, to better catch the scents in the air as she ran, the sound of the blood of her body singing powerfully in her ears. Caillech saw the crater despite the sheet of rain that fell so heavily from the sky and forced her body to brace against the the rocks as she skidded, in a shower of stones that fell to the waterfalls below, twenty feet to a stop. It was there she stood, her dark form visible on the precipice of Mactire's haven, with her eyes boring down upon the walls of the great temple as if for all the world a terrible and unyielding beast raged within.-

-As the Alpha considered Serra, a sudden bolt of sordid guilt flared in her chest; she should not have been gone so long. Admittedly the months apart from her pack and sanctuary had taken its toll on the both of them, and she now observed the changes in her Beta. The muscles of her body were refined to a new and terrifying extreme, a detail, while speaking volumes of the strain Serra had clearly gone through in her absence, that pleased Caillech greatly and her chin tilted upward in appreciation. Ever the Lycanthrope warrior, the woman that stood before her was a powerful display of superior strength and discipline, the power that strained against the skin of her body alone was impressive, and, coupled with her extraordinary height and size, she was a force not to be reckoned with. Something burned in Serra’s eyes, and Caillech wondered what the motive behind it could be, but as she looked upon the fighter that bore her neck in greeting, she knew an answer could not be given at such a time. The Alpha too had changed in more ways than one; her skin, though ever pale, was now wan and ashen. Two discoloured half-moons framed the lower rims of her eyes and the bones of her cheeks protruded somewhat further than before, a fresh blood wound forming a deep split on the flesh of her lower lip, purplish and swollen. Though her body was encased in a black suit, it concealed other injuries that she had neglected over the past months, refusing as was her adamant nature to acknowledge them until she had returned to Mactire and ensured everything was well. Despite these changes, she remained tall and formidable in her stance, and reached out a muscular arm that strained against the binding leather to rest a gloved hand on Serra’s hard shoulder.- Serra. –Her voice was low and rumbling, ringing with a mixture of controlled emotion, but above all a steadfast and required authority, for they were in the company of others.- It is good to be home. –At that, two lucent eyes, suddenly potent with the force of anger that betrayed her soulless facade, shifted to follow the scent of shame that spread from the skin of the Lycan as Serra’s kick connected with his body, sending him crashing to the ledge of the bridge. Shot with tendrils of blood, they widened fractionally to stress the rage that burned behind the cold exterior, but her expression did not falter; a mask of impassivity, only the slightest crease in the corner of her lip giving way as she watched his body convulse, blood pooling at his knees. For the moment she would let this pass, and instead felt the rising revulsion that had been festering within her at the sight of such a foul and despicable beast: the female.- ...Vampire. –The word shot through the silence, broke through the relentless rain, and ended in a feral hiss, her lips parting to accommodate the plosive and vulgar crash of a word that gave name to the creatures she so ardently despised. Her eyes slid, lingering for an excruciating length of time on the lips that veiled monstrosities capable of ripping soullessly into the flesh of innocents, across the contours of the Vampire’s physical existence, drinking her in for all she was before spitting on the ground at her feet. Caillech wiped roughly at the rivers of rain that cascaded from the sky, removing the water that stung her eyes, before stepping closer. Skin crawling, her fierce gaze bore down upon the female; the sickening abhorrence that tainted the ethereal hue of Caillech’s eyes, the disgust that writhed like a beast from the very pits of Satan’s hell, almost forcing bile to rise in her throat.- Do you think so low of me, do you insult my intelligence so, that you boldly slither, from the stinking hole that gave you birth, to my doors and expect me to open wide my arms and embrace you as one of my own? You soil the ground beneath your feet, my ground, the ground I of Mactire reign with the sole intent of ripping your kin from the shadows of the Earth with a force that will challenge even the Gods. –At that her eyes seemed ablaze, and a low rumble began to rise from the deep chambers of her chest. Her gaze shifted to the male, narrowing as she took in his large yet unmistakably youthful Lycan form, and wondered for a moment if this was some kind of pitiful joke sent from whatever deity she had inadvertently insulted. She had not travelled thousands of miles only to return to this. This, her citadel and safe haven, put into question by the very species that drove her kind back into the mountains from whence they were born. The anger that began to flare within threatened to crack the cold and unyielding nonchalance of her controlled expression, and she turned away from them, meeting Serra’s gaze.- An explanation, if you will.

The anger that began to flare within threatened to crack the cold and unyielding nonchalance of her controlled expression, and she turned away from them, meeting Serra’s gaze.- An explanation, if you will.   

-Shifting the rifle higher, Caillech turned away her head pithily. She had lived over four thousand years, and in that span of time she had mastered the vital control of all sentiment, and though she had certainly found the frequent occurrence of emotion to be a dangerous inconvenience on more than one occasion, it was in these moments that her tolerance ran thin and dry. It often surprised her that she felt vulnerable to them in situations that did not pose any extreme physical exertion to her mental frame of mind, like the simple matters of negotiation rather than during battle when will power alone was the key to survival and it would only make sense for one’s mind to thrive and proliferate violently in such a time; then again, she had not been born and raised accustomed to the acknowledgement of emotion, and therefore she grudgingly admitted that this was a field she was not and would never be an expert in handling, other than to numb herself temporarily to the torrents of invoked feeling and have done with them later. As her eyes closed briefly to the sound of Serra’s acquittal, it was this reason alone that forced her to take a moment of controlled silence to consider the circumstances she had returned to. If she were to allow entrance to the female, simply put it could turn around and bite her in the ass; who was to say this vulgar creature was not simply playing on their hospitality, only to disappear later to inform others of the strengths and weaknesses Caillech’s pack possessed, or worse, what if it prayed on the more vulnerable of the family with slow, calculated deliberation? Anger flared behind the veined lids of her eyes, and she effectively doused the compulsion to rip out its jugular and feed on its flesh. The fiend would be dead at the slightest inclination of duplicity, and in the confines of her mind she spat into the void with disgust. Regardless, Serra would have eaten the distasteful little imp if she believed it posed even the slightest of threats, and Caillech trusted her Beta to the bone. The Alpha stood as the moments passed as if for all the world she were frozen in time, knowing that an answer she did not enjoy was rising from the darkened corner of her mind that she despised, and had trained herself vehemently to ignore, for its unrelenting sentiment, however undeveloped and chastised such a weak defect in a creature was. The female in question’s own words were not lost to Caillech either, if not for its insubordination in the presence of what will become her Alpha more than anything else. This she chose to ignore; it would not do to have another injured addition to the pack of Mactire, they were already vulnerable enough with Hunter gone, she deduced from the almost nonexistent scent of him that inferred a long period of absence. Opening her eyes, Caillech turned once more to the pitiful form of the male Lycan, her forceful gaze ever austere in its scrutiny. And what, she wondered, was a young pup doing so far from his territory of birth? The mountains that loomed forlornly around her city, cradling it in an unforgiving and perilous embrace, were unsafe to those who did not know them well, inviting only injury and starvation from their vindictive planes, as food was hard if not impossible to come by for several hundred miles in every which way. The Vampire’s fate decided, and Serra’s account completed, Caillech strode towards his paltry form and took him roughly by the jaw.- And to what do I owe this pleasure?


- Entrance to the underground Lycanthrope city of Mactire 

-Caillech inhaled, her chin lifting only slightly as the white lids of her eyes closed. The scent of Mactire and all it held filled her lungs, the howl of their Beta turning her skin to gooseflesh as the sound resonated powerfully against the bones of her chest, a welcome home. Her face momentarily turned to the sky, Caillech’s skin was slick with rain and shone in the pale light of the monstrous clouds; a flare of thunder followed suddenly by spears of light scorched across the darkened gorge that lay like the yawning mouth of some terrible beast beneath her. The white of her lids, shot with the pale of blue veins, withdrew to reveal the shock of silver that burned with an obstinate fury as they gazed upon her home. Here lay a powerful species that would fight to the ends of the Earth for ultimate survival, and the rejuvenation of all that had been devastated under Man’s greed, and Vampiric vehemence. Throwing back her head to expose the great muscle and vein of her throat, Caillech roared in answer, a crash of lighting illuminating her powerful form as she stood strong on the canyon precipice, allowing the sound that ripped through her throat to pierce through the howling winds and carry deafeningly towards them. Head snapping forward to cut short the guttural cry, she watched for only a moment more before turning, her silhouette disappearing behind the unforgiving crags of rock and stone. She leapt into the rain from the dark heights of the ravine, arms thrust outward as she fell, to land hard against the rough grounds below, brought down to one knee in a shower of rain and fragments of rock. A rumble issued from deep within her chest as she rose and approached the bridge with a cold, calculating gaze. Her eyes sought Serra through the rain and, licking her lips to expose two terrifyingly large canines, they spoke volumes; before her stood Caillech’s most powerful warrior, the woman who had fought beside her in the Great Wars, a terrifying Lycanthrope that could tear the very flesh from a beasts bones with an single blow, who had remained loyal for countless years. Here stood a true Lycan. Caillech’s voice was a formidable growl, deep and rumbling from many months of silence and solitude, but the acknowledgement held a softness that was almost imperceptible, and would be understood by the Beta and the Beta alone,- Serra. –The name sung through the air and held there, broken only by the sudden roar of thunder overhead. She did not react to the others just yet, so intent was her focus on the woman that stood before her, second to none.-

-Caillech's footfalls pounded against the rock as she ran, taking great leaps over the dark almost obscure boulders that got in her way. The rain crashed down around her, soaking her hair into thick ropes that jolted behind her back, lighting illuminating the ground ahead. She kept her arms locked at 90 degree angles, pumping at her sides, her breath controlled, face impassive save for the crease between her dark brows. Thunder roared overhead in great resounding booms that seemed to shake the very foundations of the earth, as though commanding for all to yield beneath the monstrosity of its ethereal strength. As she raced through the dark mountain pass, the earth churned and spat beneath the soles of her heavy boots, coughing up a grim mixture of rain water and mud that had formed a fast-flowing river upon the face of the mountains. Caillech, her face slick with the beating of the rain, raced towards Mactire with news, her heart beginning to pound heavily in her chest. She leapt over yet another fallen rock and, hitting the ground in a cacophony of water, she growled as her boot snagged the roots of a fallen oak which brought her hard on one knee. For a moment she gripped the soaking earth, claws sliding from their fleshy sheaths to dig deep into the dirt in a sudden fit of frustration. Caillech never shifted. Not unless there was no other way. But the more she built her rage, the harder it was to control the monster she was born to be. She did not simply prefer to be alone when the anger became too much, no. It was mandatory. Far from the pack, far from the old walls she had come to call a home, they did not need to see the writhing beast that tore at its own bones and flesh, screaming as its limbs disjointed and snapped into a body that defied evolution, so great and so massive in size that, when her body was once more returned, Caillech would lie blooded and trembling upon the ground days later, weakened by the force and power of the beast that had rolled back its eyes and spread wide its jaws in guttural, terrifying howls. She shook her head, trying to clear the anger away as the rain beat at her back, and launched herself forward into a powerful sprint once more with a roar of irritation. Within the hour she would find herself at the height of the great gorge that cradled her city, and until then she would not stop until she could behold the site of it. As Caillech ran she thought of the city and all it held, the hearts within that she had plagued her life to keep beating, even if only for one more day. She tore through the rain, her face a mask of practiced nonchalance whilst a deluge of screaming water raged and wrought destruction upon the flesh within. Her body nursed the flames that burnt through the muscles of her thighs, her chest, whilst her soul threw back its head and roared for more, for pain, for the agony to rise into an unbearable heat. She cursed herself for allowing her exhaustion to slow her stride; nothing held such heightened importance than to survive, to protect and serve. The wind howled, pushing the rain into great arcs as the darkened skies thundered above, raging a war that was beyond her comprehension, but a sign that the Gods understood and had unleashed a storm that would ignite the hearts of her pack into preparing themselves for battle, a battle of the likes that they had never seen before. She pulled back her lip, teeth exposed to the piercing rain, to better catch the scents in the air as she ran, the sound of the blood of her body singing powerfully in her ears. Caillech saw the crater despite the sheet of rain that fell so heavily from the sky and forced her body to brace against the rocks as she skidded, in a shower of stones that fell to the waterfalls below, twenty feet to a stop. It was there she stood, her dark and arresting form visible on the precipice of Mactire's haven, with her eyes boring down upon the walls of the great temple as if for all the world a terrible and unyielding beast raged within. Below she saw the hazed impression of Lycans, and tasted the unfamiliar scent of a foreigner on the furious winds, but the all too proverbial air of Serra provided enough information to calm Caillech’s sudden fury; she did not appear defensive towards the male, and must therefore be already acquainted, the presence of the Vampire Lynx was also not one to cause alarm. In the darkening radiance of the thunderous skies, the Alpha’s silhouette was terrifyingly still as she observed from the precipice of the great gorge, a fearsome sight to any who happened to turn their eyes to look.-

-Caillech did not incline her head in return, but paused instead, her eyes locked on Serra's. Striding towards her, her boots crunching against the crumbling stone, Caillech took hold of the hem of her shirt and ripped as she moved, winding the cotton around her hand and thrusting it outward beneath a leak of fresh water that fell from the ruins above as she passed it, her stide never faultering. As she reached her Beta, she drew her hand upward and rested it, in a suprisingly gentle gesture, upon Serra's cheek. With her other hand she touched Serra's arm and guided it upward, the motion swift and wordless, to take the wet cloth from Caillechs hand and hold it for herself.- It appears there is something you haven't told me. -She said, her voice stern. Caillech did not need to express her gratitude and care of her greatest friend and warrior with words, for she well knew it herself. They had been through much together, and fought visciously side by side. They had seen each other at their worst and likewise at their best, and that would lie between them unspoken but acknowledged for the rest of their days. Caillech moved to lean against the wall of the bridge, her eyes tilted upward to scan the skies above. She looked for all the world as tough and composed as she should be, as Alpha, but inside her mind and body was wracked with tormented thoughts and memories, a constant battle within herself that shook the very foundation of her existence; she feared for the lives of her pack, of the ones she had spent her entire life defending and fighting for; she cursed herself for the hardship she forced daily upon her Beta, and upon her Tracker; she knew in her heart that it should not have to be so difficult, so horrifically dangerous, to just live, to just stay alive. But she did what she had to do. She made the orders that would keep each of them safe, at whatever cost. That was her job, and none would carry the burden of it but she. Her face remained forever impassive and cold as she waited for Serra's report.-

-The large entrance door swung shut behind Caillech as she stepped into the bright light of day, the force of its impact causing loose debris to fall from the temple walls, cascading to the ground. It took a moment for her mottled silver eyes to adjust to the brilliant glare, before they fell on the powerful form of Serra and, beyond her, the smaller Agatha. She descended the steps, inhaling the cold air in silence, tasting their scents on her tongue and that of another, her hair catching in the breeze. Spray rose from the waterfalls in a thin mist so that every now and then vapour would settle on her skin, akin to soft rain. It was refreshing, and in her nature as a Lycanthrope to desire the call of the wind and the freedom of the skies, but not now. Caillech threw back her head and released a howl as she paced at the foot of the temple steps, before snapping her head forward to assess the stranger before her with a cold, calculating gaze. This must be the Lycan creature Serra had reported, the one that got in the way of a fight between Vampire and their kin, an injured weakling that should not be in the open. Blood could travel for miles around, pungent on a high wind, and if anything other than beast or Lycan caught the scent of a wounded female, they would come running. It was endangering to the pack. Caillech watched her, ignoring for the moment Serra and Agatha whom she had no qualm with today; it irked her that the young one and the wounded were interfering with her Beta’s watch and for a moment her eyes flashed to Agatha, considering her smaller form, before returning to focus on the yet unknown female, waiting.-


- Mactire's central chambers, beneath the mountain.

-Caillech moved through the East tunnel, passing in and out of the lamp light, her shadow thrown menacingly against the floor and walls. Her pace was fast, but she was in no hurry, the only sound was that of her soles against the black granite. She toyed with the knives at her hip, her finger running the length of each steel blade, inadvertently examining the surfaces for abrasions. Moments ago she had stirred from within the belly of the mountain, the faint rumble of heavy footfalls intriguing her, and had risen with the intention of checking on Serra’s watch. Caillech wondered what Serra was doing; the steps were foreign, and she was not pleased.-

-Her frame was tall and imposing in strength, her silver eyes wide. Two large canines pressed against the soft flesh of her lower lip, which trembled in anger. Still she paced, her fists clenched so tightly her skin prickled with the heat, the knuckles shining white, her biceps flexing until two dark veins pushed against the thick colourless skin of her arms. The fury rolled from her body in infernal waves, the tendons in her neck taught and flaming red as she withheld the urge to shift. Caillech's gaze saught the male's and held it, the whites of each eye diminishing beneath tiny red tendrils of pounding blood.-

-The large entrance door swung shut behind Caillech as she stepped into the bright light of day, the force of its impact causing loose debris to fall from the temple walls, cascading to the ground. It took a moment for her mottled silver eyes to adjust to the brilliant glare. She descended the steps, inhaling the cold air in silence, tasting blood on her tongue, her hair catching in the breeze. She had heard a disturbance, and it displeased her greatly. Spray rose from the waterfalls in a thin mist so that every now and then vapour would settle on her skin, akin to soft rain. It was refreshing, and in her nature as a Lycanthrope to desire the call of the wind and the freedom of the skies, but not now. Caillech threw back her head and released a howl as she paced at the foot of the temple steps, before snapping her head forward to assess the stranger before her with a cold, calculating gaze-

Fenix wouldn't hold back the attack. He didn't care to. This was his vengence for his family. This was the only way to protect every one through out the world. Each and every human wouldn't be allowed to feel the pain he had been infused with since that day. As his punch extended, his knife would puncture her abdomen first, tearing through organ after organ until the tip of the blade finally found bone. The tip would penetrate the bone and upon feeling the sudden impact with the dense tissue, he would twist the blade clock wise to snap the tip off before pulling his fist back and the blade free. His eyes intent on the lycan before him as he had hit her. He showed no remorse for this, no pain. Nothing. It was as if his eyes were that of the dead. Letting his hand fall to his side, he would take a step back as his eyes lingered upon her for a few moments more before turning his attention to the other. He didn't look down at his weapon to make sure of anything, he had felt the difference in weight and the chipping of the silver inside her. With his intention fully on the other now, he would take a few steps further from the lycan behind him. He was aware of the sensitivity of the spinal cord due to his years of fighting. The nervous system was pumped through it and in all likely hood, she would probably be paralized from the wound down. A light drip sounded beside him as a single drop of lycan blood dripped from the blade, landing on the stone. He spun his katana around in hand causing the sound of wind being cut to echo off the walls around them in an extremely high pitched tone.

ValenciaTeek: -Serra smiled at lucid, the man was good and he had gotten her, ripping through her insides, but he handnt counted on Lycan bone, tougher than the strongest metal it was impossibly hard to break, and due to the delicate nature of the lycans change their spinal chords were wrapped in flexible bands of bone, like plating to protect the spine whislt they changed. The knife was in her allright, but she could move and he had turned her back on her, wrong move. . . . . . always make sure a Lycan has not head before you dimiss it. The pain of the silver burnt through her body, making her eyes water and her skin instantly feverish. Serra reached her own hand inside herself grabbing the silver blade she pulled, with it sizzling in her hand she thrust it at his calf, aiming for a downwards ripping motion he was less than 4 inches away, she could not be certain but she did not think he would dodge it. With her almost silent attack coming from behind and his attention on Lucid she knew her Alpha could finish this fight-

-Caillech stilled. As she exhaled the world shifted, every breath and moment languid. Her blood, coursing and pounding through the great labyrinth of veins within her body, sung in her ears, the beat of her heart loud and resonating against her chest. Tiny hairs prickled at the back of her neck, the beads of sweat along her spine cooled the skin there as the wind picked up. She inhaled. Caillech’s vision honed in on the human’s arm, its movement protracted, and each fine detail patent and excruciating in its clarity. She exhaled. The sound of tearing flesh caused gooseflesh to explode along her forearms, a nauseating ripple cascading through the vertebrae of her spine as she watched Serra’s lips part in agony before mutating and spreading in a smile, her eyes sliding to meet Caillech’s. She inhaled. Her own lips twitched in a delayed reaction, eyes shifting to the human. In a great surge of blood and pounding, time erupted. The adrenalin caught up with her, all movement accelerating to its normal speed. The human would die. Caillech shook back her head, throat distending to accommodate a hideous, guttural bellow. Head snapping forward, eyes locking onto him, she ripped her blades from their sheaths, the sound tearing through the air, and dropped into a low crouch, elbows locked, knives poised and glistening toward her kill- 


- Human embodiment of one Lycanthrope god, of which Caillech is re-incarnate.
