The Raven lead Steele for a little while, it was time for Steele to face down another bad part of his personalty. Steele was lead to a shallow pond, it was easy to cross or so it seemed. A falcon set looking at himself in the water. The Raven wasn't around.

OOC: Falcon is normal postive but I'm using a negative trait, vainty, we all know how vain Steele can be.

The moment Steele put his paw in the water, the Falcon flew over and pecked him on the head. It went back to where it was and went back to looking at itself. On closer look, the Falcon's feathers were the same color as Steele's fur and its eyes where the same.

OOC: I know Steele was as outwardly vain as the falcon will come off as but thats because its Steeles incarnated vainty.

The falcon looked up. "Was Balto?" it asked with a smile just like Steele's. "He was only hurting your ego and if you step in the water I won't be able to see myself so you'd be hurting my ego." he said.

OOC: Yep, I didn't mean for it to seem like that but it came out that way. I know the Falcon is coming off a bit more vain but in truth, its kind of exactly what Steele was doing, which is the perpose of his emotions coming to life, its to teach him how dum he really was acting.

The falcon laughed. "Well why don't you just do it? If it really matters to you a few peck on the head shouldn't stop you, I mean hey w-I mean you smashed Balto's head against a rock with all your power and that didn't stop him did it?"

OOC: understand the little hint there for Steele that the Falcon is part of him?

The Falcon pecked Steele as many times as Steele had thrown Balto in their fight, the last one causing himself to crash into a tree. The Falcon looked up at Steele and glared at him. "You haven't won yet, the worst will be ahead." he said and once again a red light came from Steele and went into the Falcon which vanished into red smoke that desolved before it could float off. The Raven flew over Steele's head.

OOC: Think the things stopping Steele from getting redemption in himself becoming something he can confront is a good idea?

The Raven stopped on a branch and pointed to Steele's wounds then to a bush of berries the Raven was purched over, they were herbs that would make Steele's wounds heal and numb them.

OOC: I'm wondering though, for his final challenge, should I make Steele face an animal that represents his old self or a litteral self of his old bad self, thus a pure evil Steele lacking anything but Steele's negative personilty traits?
