Finnos bowed his head out of respect for his sister and her request. "It is done, Spatium. Your felines will be nimble, quick, sly, and intelligent. The humans will look upon them and be reminded of their Goddess, and sing praise to you. Now tell me who did this..."
Finnos stiffened with alarm, as his father had abruptly appeared out of no where. Did he know what had occurred with Crow? He squeezed his eyes shut, preparing for a reprimand from his Father. But it never came. Instead, praise for something he had no idea about. His gold eyes opened and quirked a brow in confusion, but erased the expression from his face immediately, and tried not sigh in relief.
Instead, he extended his senses to determine what his father was speaking of. He searched through all of his creation, finally stopping at the life that resided with the humans. He knew it was a wolf, that's what Finnos had originally called it, but he knew something had changed. He would speak with it later. He didn't mind either that the tamed wolf seemed to be close to the humans, as it was his intention for all of them to reside peacefully.
"Oh, yes, of course Father." He hoped by his awkward pause he didn't deter Him. "It was always my goal for Man and Animal to live harmoniously." Finnos looked up at the old man, beaming. Yet internally he screamed, please don't find out.
He turned to the side and saw his brother Felin appear, and his face lit up with glee, yes,the spotlight would be taken off of him.

The Faenos, when addressed, slinked from the tree with Its eyes lowered. It did not wish to look upon something that was far greater than It. "I meant n-no offense, Lord." It fell upon its knees and bowed, pressing Its forehead to the earth. It murmured apologies, excuses of being recently born with little interaction and simple intelligence.
It dared to finally raise its head as it was complimented, and a small smile formed on its lips. To be treated with such care from a God had a large impact on it. Flattered by Synn's words, it was inevitable that It would be swayed to his reasoning.
"I find you are right." It sat up, looking curiously at its fingers. "I am capable of many things, not a tool to be toyed with, and for helping me realize this, I will do as you command, my Lord."
It slowly stood, eyes shifting back and forth with mischievous intent. It formed a wolf with wiggling fingers and grandiose waves of Its arms. The wolf sat before the Faenos, a shell devoid of life for Ybris had not given it any.
She didn't form a human, but instead "stole" one, plucking from the earth one of Finnos's new humans. It appeared before her with the wave of a hand, bewildered and scared, and crouched to the ground in the presence of such powerful beings. He whimpered, unsure of what was to happen.
With narrowed amber eyes It placed its hands upon the shell of the wolf. It forced with dark fingers its mouth agape, but did not stop there. The Faenos continued to tear back the wolf's muzzle, the audible sound of ripping flesh and fur ringing out within the clearing they stood in. A bird let out a startled chirp, and the human's eyes widened in horror.
The Faenos continued yank apart the wolf's body, finally rendering it to two separate pieces, top and bottom. The human stumbled back out of fright due to the atrocity that was being committed before it. Scarlet flew in all directions, pooling upon the ground and spattering across the poor human's face. The human tried to crawl away on all fours, so shocked it could not remind itself to stand.
But the Faenos was faster. With quickened movements Itthrew the top half of the carcass onto the human, still poised on the ground. He let out a pitiful scream, muffled by the wolf's upper jaw. The Faenos began to make weaving motions, and the human let out small whimpers, more animal then human, as if the pelt was literally being sewn on. Now one could not tell if they had ever been apart in the first place. Interlocking Its fingers, the Faenos finally fused the two together. What was left was a shaking and traumatized canine, no human to be seen.
"A present, for you, my Lord." The Faenos prostrated itself before him. "For the realization of my abilities."
The Faenos afterwards moved to dispose of the other half of the wolf shell.
