Prometheus shook with fear.  The massive beast that had rose from the sand had caused him to once again topple into the sand.  Just when he thought he'd be able to continue without falling again, his world came crashing down.. literally.<br/><br/>"Um..."  Prometheus opened his small flap of a mouth.<br/>"My name.. Prometheus.  I'm Prometheus.... Don't... Don't eat me please...?"  Prometheus backed up a bit in the sand.  When a giant sand wolf-creature emerges from the desert, It's best not to be arrogant and grumpy.<br/>"Look.. I don't mean you any harm, I'm trying to reach two special people.  A Highbreed and a Feral, heading northward to the mountains.  I didn't mean to wake you..."  Prometheus could only hope the Feral's reply was something less intimidating then his approach.<br/><br/>*****<br/><br/>Arethus glanced back between the group.  When the third Highbreed arrived, he almost wet himself in excitement.  The capture of three fugitives would be very profitable for his status amongst the royals in Aluhar.  He was almost set to capture them, when all of a sudden their seemed to be some sort of confusion amongst the group.<br/>Alune, don't listen to them! It's not as it seems!"<br/><br/><br/>"Think about this, Alune. If you have argument with the HighBreed, fine, slaughter away. But if you dare take this out on my kind, if you dare weaken us when we were so close to destroying them, You will be staining the name of all of my brothers, each one that has died for the cause. With the HighBreed an active threat, neither of us can afford warring with each other."<br/><br/>"You arrive on my doorstep with two Highbreed monsters, and expect me to believe you are fighting WITH us?"  Arethus belowed with laughter.<br/>"Fools.  Men!" He called, "Take this filth bags to the jailhouse!  Kill any who don't comply."<br/><br/>*******<br/><br/>Zelfir grinned in response to the accusations against him.  He found it ironic even that he was about to be enslaved when in a few days he would be the master of all the LowerBreed slaves.  With a look at the armed Alune, he decided it would be in his interest to 'add salt to the wound' and further the gap between the LowerBreed.<br/><br/>"It's ok miss, I won't let these hogs take you!  For the High Alliance!"  Zelfir grinned to himself, it was a rather catchy a battle cry, he thought.  With one fell swing of his diamond chain, he disarmed and knocked an Alune archer off his feet.  It seemed the day would be a little more exciting than he originally thought...
