				Basic storyline idea:<br><br>A world like our own Earth in many ways is Illestra, filled with astounding beauty and a wild array of plants and animals, a vivid array of people too. The were animals of the world have come to peace with one another and the last 90 years has been an enrichment of culture for the various packs, however there is still a slight stiffness to relations, it takes a long time to grow past old feuds, especially for&nbsp; immortals. The Humans have reached something of a golden era, instead of fighting wars with each other they are out to purge all were animals from existence, more often than not just killing other innocent humans.<br><br>After a particularly brutal attack by the humans, that wipes out the entire were-village of 14 the Dragoons invite their allies to join them in their beautifully secluded mountain oasis. The dragoons share a beautiful lake ringed with a small forest that in itself is ringed entirely by mountains with the mermaids who use underwater springs to travel in and out of the mountain oasis. They fly in, with the help of a few allied dragons, the known werewolves, werecats, &amp; werebears. It is with reluctance that the moody mermaids share their home with more weres.<br><br>Now as the last of the known weres in the immediate vicinity join those at the oasis a scramble is made to bring order to the groups not used to being in such close quarters with one another and to find teams of weres willing to go in search of others that may need sanctuary from the looming human threat. Though the humans have nothing more complex than a crossbow or catapult they are still dangerous due to their large numbers.<br>The weres have an eden all to themselves if only they can coral the chaos of their brethren. The “packs” need firm leadership and role models in these times. Many will continue searching for stray were’s in need of the safety Oasis home offers, some spend their time keeping track of the humans movements. The community at a whole needs talented craftsmen and craftswomen to provide for the ample needs to be met. Past differences, and preferences for solitude must be set aside to protect friends and family from a much worse threat and to make this Oasis into their home.<br><br><br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>This is the place where Were's that have not yet made their way to the haven to live and interact with others of their kind before they are found by the Seekers offering to guide them to a new and safer home.&nbsp; Or as circumstances may be it could be a place where some Were's either by choice or being detained in some way do not make it to the new home that is being offered to all of Were Kind.&nbsp; <br><br>This is also the natural domain of the Humans who shall never set foot in Aislin Haven unless they are already living with a group of Were's or maybe even just a solitary Were who has found companionship with a human friend/lover.&nbsp; This is also where the bulk of the conflict between Human kind and the Were's will take place.&nbsp; Whether it be the Humans hunting the Were's or the Were's fighting back in return in the form of raiding parties.&nbsp; <br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><br>Link to corresponding IC thread:<br><br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67325.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67325.0)<br><br>Illestra - OOC thread:<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67599.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67599.0)<br><br>Approved Characters<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67248.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67248.0)<br><br>Interest check thread:<br>http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67234.0 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67234.0)<br><br>For those who already have Characters living outside of Haven but are posted in the first IC sheet feel free to leave those posts there for convenience and continue their outside stories here until they are found by the Seekers and brought to Aislin Haven.<br>&nbsp;

				<strong>Natalia Vodinova&nbsp; - In the Wilderness ..nestled deep in the Dark Woods . Dethean approaching ..... Mika in the area . </strong><br><br>&nbsp;The first call of Dethean caused the wolf pack to all stand up onto all fours a continued restless whimpering as they looked to the woman who stood there ..debating . Biting her lip ...hand continuing to gather that dress at her side as the eyes changed colors . The forward movement seemed to stop as she could sense it ..tilting her head up as she drew in a deep breath ..her body almost trembled in exhale. Then came the second howl that made her close the eyes ..the woman's head tilted back and out of it came a series of yelp like howls into the air . A message of greeting and permission to enter a Silver fangs territory . It was a grumbling like howl ...that trailed off in a strong warning and ended in a growl . If he truly understood it would translate ..tread lightly young one and with respect . As she waited ...then eyes peering into the woods before the stance of confidence slowly rejoining her composure for she would show no fear to this young pup that somehow managed to find his way here. Still in her mind part of her thought she would awaken soon ..this had to be some dream . <br><br>The wolf at the far end began a low growl ..as Natalia glanced over at him . It seemed another approach from a different angle and yet was farther back .Following the first ...maybe flanking her as a twinge of anger flared up in the woman not accustomed to having her territory violated . Not able to quite determine the scent of the second ..she waved her hand in a silent gesture to the oldest timber wolf that had given the warning with whimpered acknowledgment the wolf understood . The wolf sprang into action and began to creep its way towards Mika moving in to get a better look at what this second intruder truly was the seemed headed towards the camp. <br><br>The other three timber wolves ..would span out moving down more to the right to guard the perimeter taking up the loss of the one . Natalia straightened up her shoulders as she tried to remember her manners and customs of a proper greeting ..hospitality was in order it seemed. The customs of her people rested now with her but that prior set of rules had cost many lives as a struggle went on inside her mind . What challenge did mother earth send her way this day ..as the woman search her mind for the snapshots of the dreams . <br><br>Looking up into a nearby tree as the caw of a Raven echoed out across the way cutting the silence of thoughts . Nat smirked ..thinking of her mother ...must be scolding her for such improper behavior . As she looked down at her tattered and torn dress...then muttered to herself .<strong> " Well we are not so high and proper anymore ...guess you are right . " </strong>as she reached into a satchel and pulled out a handful of seeds and tossed them to the ground for the Raven to eat . Letting the bird fly down to gather its prize when it wanted .

				<strong>Franklin Shagoth...... Deep in the woods....... traveling to the haven</strong><br><br>Franklin was walking along the wooded path, the spirits of the wind and earth erasing any tracks he would make. He was still a few days out from the valley. He kept walking, his spirit firends easing his travels in any way they could. Things must have been bad when even they were desperate to get to the valley.<br><br>Spotting a clearing nearby, Franklin decided this would be a good place to rest for the night, a place he could converse with the local spirits and learn which was the quickest path. Truth be told, he had never been to the Dragoon's Valley, he just knew of the general direction from his home.<br><br>Entering the clearing, he set his supplies down, using his hatched to dig up a small fire pit. *Now for some food.* Letting out a sigh of breath, Franklin's body arched and swelled. Dark brown fur began to emerge from his skin, his bone structure starting to change. Letting out a loud roar as the transformation completed, he ran off, hunting his meal. He would make amends to the animal spirits later, but for now he needed food. <br><br>(coppied from Haven post)<br>

				<strong>~Miluiel - deep in the woods near Franklin's camp~</strong><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=67325.msg2982778#msg2982778">Quote from: Kiric Rand on 29-04-2010, 01:50:25</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Narrowing his eyes to the sunlight, he took scale of the landscape. He had lived in that cave for years now, peacefully, until the summons. The Dragoons had called all the hybrid species to their valley, and you didn't ignore the Dragoons. Shaking his head clear of the locks of long, brown hair, Franklin started to move. He gathered up the idols around the cave's mouth, no since angering the spirits he served. Gathering the wind around his feet, he began his long journey to the Dragoon's valley, the wind around his feat taking some of the pressure off his body.<br><br>He heard villagers coming his way. More fools attempting to slaughter the "beast" that haunted their town no doubt. They would find him gone, no tracks to follow, the spirits would assure to that. Nature had a way of protecting it's own, and Franklin was far more in tune with it than these simple mortals. 200 years he had trained to communicate with nature, to use it to protect his kind. "Spirits, let this trip not be a mistake. I pray for your guidance in this matter." As the last of his shamanistic tribe, Franklin was obligated to go to the valley.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Miluiel had felt a strange pulling to come in this direction. She had been wandering in a completely different direction but the urge to come here had been too strong to ignore. The young Unicorn trotted through the forest, easily hopping over fallen logs, her long white hair flowing behind her. She spent most of her time in her 'Human' form. It was still a work in progress. She hadn't been able to figure out how to make Human legs or how to get rid of her sparkling silver horn. Finally she arrived where she was feeling the strong pull. It was a cave. She hid behind a tree and peeked out from behind it. It looked recently deserted. She also picked up the sound of Humans coming nearer but still far enough away that she could slip away easily. <br><br>The Unicorn girl glanced around then ran to the cave, her hooves clopping lightly on the stone. She looked around quickly. It looked like the remains of a Shaman's cave. The Elemental magic still swirled in the air. He hadn't been gone long at all. Was this what she had been drawn to, this magic or was it the one who had performed it? She wasn't sure but she had to leave here now so maybe she should follow whoever this Shaman was. They had great power. Maybe they could help her complete her transformation. Running out of the cave she searched around and found traces of the same magic on the ground. Glancing over her shoulder to where the Humans were coming from she shimmered and disappeared before taking off down the trail of magic.<br><br>The sky was darkening as night came. Miluiel had lost the Humans while still keeping the trail of the Shaman. She felt she was coming near again. The swirling elemental magic was becoming stronger again. She hadn't ever felt magic so strong. Slowing, the Unicorn girl became more cautious. There was no telling if this Shaman might be good or not, if they would help her or try to hurt her. She had to check this person out first. A loud roar made her stop and shiver a bit. Shimmering once again she became invisible. She slowly and cautiously approached the clearing up ahead of her where she was sure the Shaman was going to stay. Her hooves didn't make a sound as she walked slowly. She peeked out from behind a tree and into the clearing seeing no Shaman but spotting his things. Maybe they'd been chased off by that big roar... or perhaps they had gone to get something to eat. Eating sounded good... Miluiel crouched down and picked some flowers she knew to be good and began nibbling on them as she waited for the Shaman to return.

				~Mika, approaching Nat's wolf pack~<br><br>Mika heard a howl of invite, but wasn't sure if it was aimed towards her or not. She had sounded off a howl earlier, but had it gone unnoticed? She took a few more steps, before noticing a timber wolf approaching her. His stance did not portray friendliness, but uncertainty and perhaps even aggression. Mika halted, standing in the water with the light glistening off her white fur and the river surface. She watched the wolf, she would hate to have to tear him to shreds if he attacked. A light breeze rustled through her fur. Her head tilted back, howling for alert.

				Sinoraa was slithering threw her tunnels, moving away from a large gathering of people who'd been closing in on her. Tough she highly doubted they'd find her, she weren't one to take chances. Tough not aware of the humans crusade against the weres, she did know a large number of any creature generally was good to stay clear off. This is how she'd survived for so long, her tunnels spread threw out the forest, with several openings for her to pop out off at will. And no threat, but another naga could follow her in here, a were or average animal might try, but most lacked the speed and night eyes she had, making them a easy meal. She felt her stomach twist, which indicated that it was time to surface soon, for a meal. She suddenly stopped, hearing the vague sound of a wolves howl. Tough it might have gone unnoticed by most races, her kind relied on smell and sound more then vision. She felt her mouth water at the thought of sweet, fresh meat between her teeth. "Good thing about wolves, there's always a loner." She thought with a smirk, slithering towards the closest opening.

				Dethean walked slowly into the camp, politely hanging his head and tail low. He was a majestic looking grey wolf, large and powerfully built. He walked in calmly, knowing that most wolves held the dual-spirited weres in great respect, yet tried to be as polite as he could with what etiquette his instincts could provide him.<br><br>As he saw the wolf-pack, he felt as though they were speaking to him. Not directly with words, but their stance and movement gave him an idea of what they were thinking. He could see that they were concerned by an intruder, but not him. He glanced into the direction they were looking and though he could see nothing yet, there was a scent upon the wind of another being approaching. Maybe human, but something different about them which he didn't recognize, it was an unusual scent.<br><br>Then he saw the woman, a human at least for the moment, seated behind the wolfpack. He walked a little closer to her, so that they could speak directly without trying to threaten her at all. With an effort of concentration he forced his human voice to join with this wolf-body,<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;"Something else is coming here tonight, I don't know what but it didn't come with me. This is not how I wanted to meet you, but it is still a pleasure. I am Dethean, hunter and tracker of the lupine clans."

				~Mika in the river with wolves~<br><br>Mika watched as the wolf pranced about like a pup, playful as ever. It was odd for an adult wolf to be so playful, but as it called the others, Mika was in no position to argue. She rolled her eyes a bit, allowing them to approach and sniff at her. Not wanting to offend, she too acted playful, splashing about in the waters. She hadn't seen wild wolves in quite a while, the humans had been killing them off. But something still ate at her. If these were the wolves, then who were the others? They had a different scent, but still smelt of wolf. She looked over in the direction that the camp would be, waiting for acceptance, and invitation. She would follow if they were to lead her.

				Sinoraa reared her head out of her hole, flickering her tongue to smell for any nearby threat...There were none, she slowly got out of her hole and slithered towards the place where she'd heard the wolves howl. She made a sudden halt in some tall grass, where she wouldn't be spotted. They all seemed to be gathered together in one spot for now. "Were?" She thought to herself surprised, she'd not expected to run into one of those in a ordinary wolf pack. But how many was hard to say, amongst the pack of wolves ...Strange indeed, but not important, the plan was still as it always were. She'd wait for one of them to get separated and strike.

				Franklin was returning from the woods, still in his bestial form, carrying a large deer over his shoulder. Approaching the nearby fire pit, he dropped the deer, blood still coating his claws from the kill. It had been quick, merciful, and he had thanked the spirits that they had provided him yew again with such a meal. Still, nothing of this animal must go to waste, lest he anger those he served.<br><br>Hunching over, he let out another roar, not as loud, as his body began to shrink back into his human form.Claws retracted into his body, fur becoming skin again. Dropping to one knee, Franklin let our a sigh, the transformation took a lot out of him, but once he ate he would be good as new.He took some logs from near by and started a small fire, not only to serve in cooking his meal, but as a place to practice his magic tonight. By human standards, he was strong, but he was still just an apprentice by his tribes standards.<br><br>His tribe. He often talked of them as if they were still alive. He wouldn't be here if they were. His tribe once ruled this area, his father the leader. He himself had completed the rituals to be the tribes next shaman, their new leader, when his father passed into the spirit realm. Almost 200 years he had been training, but he still only had a fundamental grasp of the magic of nature. And now that those humans had sent the rest of his tribe to the spirit realms, he had to continue alone.<br><br>As he started carving up the deer, he noticed a presence. It was magical, faint, he had almost missed it but not for the subtle changes in the air. HE grabbed his axe, standing on guard. “Who goes there. Show yourselves.” One hand upon his axe, one reading some magical energy, he stood at the ready, prepared to defend himself in necessary.<br>

				<strong>~Miluiel - Deep in the woods, Franklin's camp~</strong><br><br>Miluiel was still nibbling on grasses and flowers when she heard someone coming. She watched as the large bear came lumbering into the camp carrying the dead deer. He was different, much different, from any bear she had ever seen. Her glassy black eyes widened and she actually brushed some of her bangs from in front of them so she could see better when he transformed. She had once met a wolf who could do that but never a bear. When he picked up his axe and obviously sensed her she froze. Should she flee or approach him? Would he be friendly? He was so huge in his bear form and she was sure he could use that axe well. He was a Shaman though. They didn't hurt or kill unnecessarily. She knew that deer was likely his dinner and she didn't sense any negative energy from him. If he could change like that maybe he could help her with her Human form.<br><br>The Unicorn girl stood and finally shimmered into the visual world, a pure white form in the growing darkness. She still hid halfway behind the tree shyly, ready to run. Her shimmering, long white hair which touched the back of her calves fell around her like a cape. She wore a long white dress that was a bit dingy and ragged around the edges from her traveling that day. Her furry white horse ankles and light gray hooves peeked out from beneath the skirt. Her long, shaggy bangs mostly hid her beautiful face but her glassy black eyes were a stark contrast to her pale skin. The shining silver spiral horn coming from her forehead glittered and glowed slightly from her magic use. She showed him both her hands so he would see she didn't hold any weapons and said in her soft, musical voice, "Please don't hurt me..."

				<strong>Dethean - In the wilderness at Natalia's camp. Mika approaching.</strong><br><br>Dethean realized he had a bit of a problem. His clothes were stashed miles away so that he could take on the form of a wolf. He knew some weres could shapeshift the clothes like they were a part of their own body, but the times Dethean had tried he returned to human form with some ripped and shredded rags unable to withstand his unskilled shifting. He would prefer to enter human form to speak with this woman, particularly as he didn't think his wolf stomach would appreciate the bread very much. <br><br>"Thankyou for your generous offer Natalia, I don't suppose you have any human clothes at all. I'm naked." Dethean gestured at himself with a paw in a very human way. "I mean, obviously I am but I'm also naked underneath the fur if you get what I mean."<br><br>Dethean knew at this moment that he was a very embarrassed wolf. He didn't feel his cheeks blush as they would if he were wearing human form, but instead his tail drooped low between his legs on its own and he felt his head hang low. "I can't shift clothes" he explained.<br><br>

She was thinking however ..you got to fucking be kidding me . Then rolled her tongue over her teeth ...she should just shift right now and tear this young pup a new asshole . Furnish him clothes too what did she suddenly take the bastard on to raise . Turning as she headed back towards the cave entrance and picked up a saddle bag tossing it at the ground in front of the wolf as it landed with a thud . <br><br>The healer snarled at him . <strong>" Here but DO figure a way to wash the human stench off it . "</strong> as she rolled her shoulder after the toss . When the Raven made the mistake of Cawing and flapping it's wings again in the tree .

Nuzzle up against its face ...as she might soon figure out there was no alpha wolf amongst them . They were all rather young in age as Nat had feed them since they were pups . Soon they trotted and made there way back to camp.&nbsp; Trudging up though the stream ...they howled and then spread out into the clearing near the cave area . One by one plopping down letting the white wolf come in to meet Natalia . <br><br>Nat shifted her stance again as she looked over the creature that approached ..something was wrong , odd ...different about that creature she felt it ...maybe she killed that stupid crow a bit too soon . As she wrinkled her nose ....really need to do something about those anger issue . Still she spoke to it .. <strong>" Welcome to our camp ...feel free to change into whatever form your most comfortable ..I am the healer Natalila hailing from the Silver Fang Tribe." </strong> as she watched the creature . The woman's posture clearly indicated that she did not trust Mika but still would do the ancestor's bidding even if she killed the messenger already.

She stood tall as they nuzzled her, and nipped at her chin playfully. They had apparently accepted her, but would this other? As she approached, she saw a human. Her first instinct caused her fur to bristle and to bare her fangs. How could she have not smelled the human? She knew there was human food but...Upon another smell, she scented of wolf as well, though still strange. Her fur smoothed out a bit, lips returning over her teeth. But she was still in a rather defensive stance. What was this being? She saw the darker wolf...he smelled similar to the female...but how? When she spoke, Mika's eyes were drawn once more to her. Forcing her voice box to work humanly in the form, Mika spoke with a voice like bells. "What exactly are you? I never scented anything like you before..." Then again, Mika had been living closer to the humans previously.

				<strong>~Franklin, Deep in the woods, Franklin's camp</strong><br><br>Franklin looked over the girl before him.She was gorgeous, but was she in hybrid form, or was she stuck like this. Watching her slip from behind the tree with her hands up, he dropped his axe. He could sense magic about her, but no evil at all. What kind of were was she, horse? No, he had never seen a horse with a horn like that before. "Step forth child. What were you doing following me." Putting his axe down and sitting next to his fire, he waved her over. Maybe she was headed to the haven too, and a little company would be nice.<br><br>"So tell me" he asked as she approached, "Just what breed of creature are you? Please, assume your human form, we are all firends here, neither I nor the spirits I serve will bring any harm to you." He ripped a chunk of meat from the dead deer, stabbing it on a stick and placing it over the fire. "Can I offer you anything to eat?" He was taking stock of this new creature, keeping his magic ready just in case he needed. The next move was hers, if she was friendly, she would either approach or run, but if she meant him any harm, she would be dead before she knew it.<br><br>Muttering a small chant under his breath, Franklin watched with baited breath.

His home was beyond the valley and mountain range do south west. In the low lands of Telga. The poison swamp of Negato that covered about 45% of the land and birthplace to Poisa. Due to his instincts, he stayed close to home, but knowing of the danger if he stayed above ground. He stayed in many of the natural caves and man-made mine shafts that littered the area. However, he managed to made a nest under the swamp. Moist and damp, with the never ending amount of swamp water leaking in to give him to confort he needed to sleep. He was also unaware of this...valley made for his kind. Even if he knew, he would not go. He needed the swamp, it was his habitat, his kind needed this water....despite the plants, soil and water living up to it's name.<br><br>Poisa, was merely curled up in his nest, sleeping. He had spent all morning trying to catch something to eat. All he found was a human hunter and ate him instead. He hated eating human. Always tasted funny and weird. That, and it took forever to digest. He hated it, but he had no choice in the matter, food was food. He needed to live. You young in his age naga mearly let out a huge yawn, relaxing under the many small streams of poison swamp water, letting it flow down his flesh. It made his gold and purple scales glitter even in the faintest of light.<br><br>Soon, however, he will need to eat again.

				<strong>Miluiel - Franklin's camp</strong><br><br>Miluiel slowly walked forward when he sat by the fire. He seemed friendly and non-threatening plus she was terribly curious about him. He was different from anyone she had met before. When he asked her to take her Human form her pale cheeks grew pink. She sat down, folding her legs under her and laying her hands on her lap. She didn't really know about answering his question about what she was. He had asked though and it would be very rude not to answer. The last thing she wanted was to be rude to the bear-man Shaman. Her small nose wrinkled when he offered her something to eat and replied softly in her sweet voice, "I don't eat meat but thank you. This is my Human form... I haven't perfected it yet. I am a Unicorn. A wizard tried to give me a Human form so I might be safer. And... and what are you? Can you turn into any animal you want or just the bear?" Bits of her glassy black eyes could be seen glittering behind her shaggy bangs, reflecting the firelight.

				Franklin looked over at the strange creature before him. "A Unicorn, I've only heard about them in legend, I never would have imagined they were real." The shock on his face was easily apparent. "Wait, this is your human form? But you're not fully human. You mean to tell me you can't change from that form?" Shaking his head, he looked her back over. She wasn't bad looking for a hybrid. "This isn't a human form, it's more what we'd call a hybrid form. As far as what I am, no, I cant turn into any animal I want. I can only turn into a bear, its the bloodline of my family." He took his spit of meat, taking a large bite out of it.<br><br>"Too bad the bloodline dies with me." He looked into the fire, remembering events of the past, the slaughter of his family, the hunters that have tried to kill him since, why couldn't they just leave them alone. "You know, If you're looking for somewhere safe, you ought to come with me to the valley. The Dragoons are calling all sorts of our kind there, though for what reason the spirits will not tell me." He put his spit down, cutting another piece of meet from the deer and setting it to be roasted.<br><br>"You could sleep here if you wish. I'm sorry I don't have any more comfortable arrangements, but I travel light. I just have to do my evening spirit walk and I'll be getting ready for sleep." He turned to the fire, starting his meditations. "If you wish, you are welcome to join me, maybe the spirits can answer some of your questions more than I can."

				In that same night, He woke up after sleeping the whole day away and finally, the human he ate was done and the remains were to be regurgitated. Getting up from his nest he begun to move, silently, maing no sound on the dirt floor. His tail waved as his stong muscle pushed him along... His haman-like upper body standing straight up. Coming to a bubbling pool in his area, he unhinged his jaw and let the contents undigested come out and go into that pool. Emptied and shook himself off and slithered off the the entrance. Without peeking his head out he flicked his tongue in the air. "Food......" His hissed venomously and slithered out into the swamp, following the smell.<br><br>He had come out of the Negato Swamp and into a forested area. Smelling a camp of sorts and avoided it, but he smelled something much tastier out there. Animals...many animals. Poisa kept himself in the shadows of trees, but when he had the chance he would rub grasses, weeds, dirt and anything else to cover up his scent. He made full use if the land to his advantage. Only those of the reptile family could smell him now...Though, he would only hunt furred animals...and humans if need be. Once the scent of this area was on him, he begun to move. No fond of the night because of the cold, but he did not mind too much. As long as the hunt went well.

				Miluiel saw the shock on his face. He'd never seen a Unicorn? She knew that her kind were rare. Since her family had been killed she hadn't seen another. But the fact that even the Shaman hadn't seen one disturbed her. "I can change from this form to my true one but I like this one. I know it's not fully Human yet but I've been working on it... I just can't get rid of my horn or get my legs right yet. What's a Dragoon? I don't know how to go on a spirit walk but... You... don't mind me staying with you?" she asked, tilting her head to the side quizzically. She didn't care about sleeping on the ground, that was where she had always slept. It sounded to her like he had lost his family just like she had. So many lives lost. It made her want to cry.

				Franklin turned and smiled to the young girl. "I see, so your human form is immature then. I can ask the spirits for help, but this may be out of the range of my magic. By the way, my name is Franklin."&nbsp; He offered his hand to the girl in a form of greeting. "There are many more of our kind that just us. there are wolves, cats, snakes, any breed of animal really. The Dragoons are the top, they are bread from dragons. And they have called all sorts of us to their valley for something."<br><br>"Here, hold my hand. You don't need to know how to do a spirit walk, just let my guide you along." His eyes were sincere. He wanted to help this creature. No, she wasn't a creature, she was just like him, alone, lost, trying to make sense of this world that hated them so much. "And yes, you're more than welcome to stay here. Our chances are much better if we stick together." He smiled at her. "Besides, I wouldn't let anything happen to another of my kind."

				Miluiel looked at his hand as he held it out to her in greeting. She wasn't used to such greetings and wasn't really sure what to do. When he called her one of his kind she actually got a pleasant chill. That was so nice to hear, that she belonged somewhere that she was a part of something. It made her smile for the first time in a long time. It was so nice to not be alone. She reached out and lightly touched her hand to his. Her hand was very soft, slender and warm. "I am Miluiel. I'm pleased to meet you Franklin." she said softly. She was a bit nervous about this Spirit Walk but she felt she could trust him. She didn't think he would put her in any danger, not purposely at least. Scooting a little closer she waited for him to begin guiding her. The girl had only ever heard of Shamans she hadn't actually met one before. She hoped this would help her to get her Human form right.

				<strong>Dethean - In the woods - Natalia's campsite and then the brook nearby.</strong><br><br>Dethean watched in shock as the 'healer' strung her bow and killed the bird he had taken to be her familiar. It had been a flawless single move without any signs of hesitation or preparation, which only made the display scarier. He sat in silence for a moment, unsure of what to say.<br><br>Shortly thereafter the pack returned, escorting a stranger. It looked like a wolf, but Dethean's nose had no idea what the creature was.

He slipped off into the woods, easily finding his way back to the water.&nbsp; <br><br>He made a few purposeful detours along the way to the brook, picking up a few herbs and plants leaving them with the clothes near the side of the river. He didn't want to wash the clothes completely, leaving them too wet to wear afterwards and so he simply scrubbed a few dirty or smelly patches with some water and one of the cleansing herbs he picked up trying to get them clean enough to wear. Then he slipped into the water, no stranger to the frigid cold of night-bathing and swam around for a short time washing the smells and sores of travel from his human skin.

				<strong>Natalia Vodinova&nbsp; with Dethean&nbsp; and Mika - In the Wilderness ..camp nestled deep in the Dark Woods .</strong><br><br>&nbsp;Natalia heard the white wolf speak ..Mika ...and continued to stir the pot of stew ...turning to nod her head at the young one as he spoke out . Realizing he may have traveled a long distance and the respect he shown was noted anyways . Maybe she had been alone too long as she sat down on a wooden stump and looked up at the moon . One of the young wolves came over to her as she ran her hand down the softness of the fur ..find a burr and pulling it out . A silence came over the camp ..and of course Dethean had changed into his human form and moved off . How the white wolf handled the long awaited answer was of no concern to Natalia it seemed . <br><br>&nbsp;Finally the woman's voice spoke out it seemed with a sense of pride mixed with a sorrow . <strong>" What I am is hard to explain ..for we are neither human nor wolf . Linked to my linage through blood and a gift given from Mother Earth herself as in our souls a part of the world exists. We are nature ..spirits made of flesh ..creatures of two worlds man and beast ..a hidden long established link&nbsp; a thread that binds between the flesh and spirit. Our kind takes many forms, I hail from those that represent the wolf from the tribe of the silver fangs. Our birth into this world can come from either a human or the animal in which we represent . Kissed into existence by Luna and destined to walk the path chosen by the form of the moon that is upon that night . Luna fills our level of rage and Gaia gives us purpose ...our ancestors show the way unto the plane of the umbra where we can walk with the spirits of what once was . "</strong> as she let out a sigh then and went quiet again . Looking into the flames her mind settling the dispute that seemed to be going on there . Natalia had been born on that of the half moon the judgment moon as they call it and try as she would the woman could not change the dreams that came to her nor stop the messengers. <br><br>Then for the first time she glanced back up at the White wolf that spoke the human language .<strong> " What you are is tainted a bit different ....but the spirit of the wolf runs through you ...hence you are welcome . " </strong><br><br>Standing she moved to the body of the Raven that she had shot with the arrow earlier .. and pulled it out . Running her fingers over the belly of it as she chanted some words as she massaged the creatures heart . A wound formed under the tattered and torn white dress in her side and the darkness of a red blood stain soaked the clothing . The large Raven then stirred and pecked at the healers hand as Nat smiled and then tossed the bird up into the air . As it flapped its wings and moved off seeming to find Dethean or maybe it had what it had came for . A few Caws of course were sent back to Natalia as she moved back to the stump to sit back again at the fire the smell of the stew now spilled into the night air .

				~Mika, at Nat's Camp~<br><br>Mika withheld a snarl at the male's rude behavior and response. A low growl almost escaped her throat as he walked past, until the female began to speak again. She listened carefully. When she was young she had heard tale of such beasts, even if the wording was different from the humans' tongues. "A werewolf. Correct? I'm sorry to say that we are in fact quite different...You see, I am the kin of evil. A demon. Mother Earth did not bless me, no. I was cursed with what I am, driven from my home by those who had once claimed to love me." She watched the healing ritual momentarily. <em>Why heal a raven? There are always more...</em> She shook her head from the thought, distracted too easily. "You see, I'm quite different..." she said, her fur changing to a light, reddish brown. Her body shrank in overall size, becoming quite petite, her face becoming more narrowed, ears larger. Soon, a red fox (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d5/Vulpes_vulpes_sitting.jpg) stood there instead. "I am not human..." she said, her body growing again, becoming spotted, and more to that of a german-shepherd shape, that of the 'Painted Wolf' (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Lycaon_pictus_%28Temminck%2C_1820%29.jpg) or African Wild Dog. "And I am not animal...I don't know what I am besides unwanted..." Done with playing around, her body once again began shifting. The fur retreated into her skin, revealing that she had been wearing an article of clothing tied around her neck, hidden by her fur. The canid toes lengthened into slender human fingers, and Mika's hair grew darker, cascading down over her shoulders. Once the transformation was complete, she untied the red kimono from her neck, slipping it on and tying it loosely on her body.

				Franklin smiled a bit. "It's really nothing to be worried about. The great spirits might be a little more hostile to you than me, but it's only because you've never been there. They mean you no harm what so ever." Reaching over, he grabbed her hand. "Just stay close, and you'll be fine." Turning back to the fire, he began chanting a few words. "OH great spirits, please allow us passage into your realm. Guide us to the answers we seek, and protect us for those who would harm us."<br><br>As the chant continues, the world around them seemed to get foggy. Standing up as he finished, he took Miluiel's hand and started to guide her. "Welcome to the spirit world. Here is where those of my kind converse with the many great spirits that surround us. All around them, diffrent forms took shape. A great blaze, a large mountain, a torrent of crashing waves, a whirlwind of unimaginable size, a giant beast, half man and half horse, and a great warrior all surrounded them. "These are the six great spirits i serve. Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, Nature, and Man. Each represents a diffrent facet of life, but I think our best choice would be Wind, her domains are travel and change, so I think she can ask both our inquiries."<br><br>Franklin lead her over to the large whirlwind, noting that it was taking a humanoid figure as they approached. "Welcome young Shagoth. What is it you ask of me today." The spirits voice was calming, yet forceful, like a spring breeze. She looked upon his guest, almost with a frown, if spirits could frown. "Why have you brought this outsider with you to our realm." The volume of the spirits voice increased, now raging like a gale.<br><br>"Forgive me, great spirit, but this girl has a question, something I thought you might be able to help her with. Do not blame her, blame me if you must." Turning back to Mileiel as the spirit calmed, he whispered to her. "Go on, you may ask her, but be polite and respectful. Wind is a benevolent spirit, but her anger is not something you want to see."

				As he chanted the Unicorn girl felt the air around them shift and swirl with magic. It felt comforting to her. It had been a long time since she had felt such magic. Miluiel's eyes widened as the elemental forms took shape around them. They were so beautiful and so frightening at the same time. She nervously walked with Franklin over to the swirling gale as it took a more human form. When Wind's eyes met hers and she saw that frown forming on her face Miluiel felt even more nervous. Her tone of voice made her start to tremble and she stepped closer to Franklin. As he spoke she edged further and further behind him still holding his hand tightly and lightly placing the other on his back. When he said she could ask her question she just shook her head, her white hair flowing back and forth with the motion. Though she had to peek around the Shaman she didn't take her black eyes off Wind. She didn't want to inadvertently say the wrong thing and upset the elemental. It seemed such a trivial thing to ask such a powerful being. She feared the wind might become angry with her for bothering her. Miluiel knew what the wind could do. She had seen it blow down trees. She knew she stood no chance against anything like that.

				Watching her shake her head in fear, Franklin turned back to Wind. "My apologies, Great Spirit, it seems my guest is a bit frightened by what she sees, so I shall ask on her behalf. We request an answer to her dilemma. She is of my kind, a magical creature caught between human and animal forms, without the ability to fully assume the guise of humanity. We implore you to assist us in this matter, great spirit of the winds." He tightened his grip on her hand, hoping for her that Wind could do something about her problem.<br><br>"I am sorry, young Shagoth, but the process was started by an earthly mage of great power, and as such can only be finished by such magic. You know that earthen and spirit magic cannot mix. But maybe you will find the answer in the place you seek. I know you wish to ask me of the Dragoon Valley, and you are closer than you think. travel due north for 2 more days, and you shall find what you seek." Wind's voice had calmed greatly, resuming the feeling of a gentle breeze along his skin.<br><br>Turning back to the Unicorn woman with a sad look on his face, he shook his head. "I'm sorry, I knew it was a long shot, but I still had hope. Come, let us go and get some rest for tomorrow." He turned to the Spirits around them. "Thank you great spirits for allowing us passage here. you knowledge and time are greatly appreciated." With a heavy sigh, the world around them started to fade.<br><br>Franklin opened his eyes, still sitting in front of the fire. Looking over, he noticed that she was still right there, her eyes still closed. He felt sorry for her, unable to completely transform, how lonely must that be. "Listen, the valley, I'm sure some of the Dragoon's have magic powerful enough to finish what has been started. Do you trust me to lead you there?"

				Miluiel was disappointed there was nothing the spirits could do but she understood the reason why. She was given hope that perhaps someone amongst the Dragoons could help her though. She bowed in respect to the spirits as Franklin thanked them then she felt herself slowly becoming aware of her body. With a small sigh she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Franklin. She brought her knees up against her chest and wrapped her arms around them. She nodded, "I trust you Franklin. Thank you for asking for me... she made me nervous. I'm not used to speaking with people or things. I avoid them or run away. It's the only reason I'm even still alive really. I don't know why I tracked you down and didn't run from you... maybe the spirits were pushing me to speak with you knowing you could help. I've been alone for so long... it's good to be with someone."

				Franklin took her hand, trying to comfort her. "Don't worry, I know how it is. On the run all your life from those who want to hunt you." He looked over to her eyes. "But you don't have to fear, there are many more like us, and we look after our own." Pulling her in close to him, trying to comfort her more, he wrapped his hands around her, holding on to her knees. "We've both lost so much. But as long as we have each other, we can survive."<br><br>Leaning close to her, he planted a light kiss on her cheek. "Just don't run anymore. You can't always run from your problems. And hey, I'll be here to help you, me and the spirits around us." He laughed a bit. He stood back up. "Well, I think it's time for bed, we've got a lot of travel ahead of us, and we need to get started as early as possible." Walking over, he gathered some grass and leaves into a small bed. "It's nothing fancy, but it ought to be better than the ground." He took a spot a littel further away, close enough to keep an eye on her, but enough to give her space while she slept.

				Black legion camp.<br><br>Azunai and Gallen knelt down, as two hooded figures appeared from blue light. "What is your report?" Said the first mage. "We've only been able to slay nine, were's this month, master." "This is ridiculous!" Sneered the second mage. "We've given you access to a entire legion of men, and all you can bring us is nine weres!?" "It is not that simple, master. We've wiped out every major settlement, their to scattered, to far spread out." Azunai explained. "And what of the dragons?" Asked the second mage. "With all due respects, master. We've got no solid evidence, that the dragons have indeed aided the weres." "That is your job isn't it!? You've been ordered to investigate the matter, and so far you've done nothing!" Azunai lowered his head in shame, and remained silent. "We'll be expecting another report within a weeks time, and we expect results!" Said the first mage, as they both vanished in a blue mist.<br><br>"Well, that was kinda rude..." Said Gallen, getting up on his feet. Azunai sighed. "Guess we'll have to capture ourselves some live prey?" Gallen suggested. Azunai got up on his feet and walked out of the tent. "Ignoring me again, are you?" Gallen asked with a chuckle. Azunai did not respond. "Sir!" A soldier said, who'd been waiting outside the tent. "There's a campfire in the forest." He said, pointing towards the direction of Franklin's camp, where a small trail of smoke rose above the trees. "Weres don't usually use camp fires." Gallen said, looking thoughtfully over at the smoke. "Yet, We are to far away, for us to run into humans." Azunai added. He pondered for a moment. It was to far to dark for his men to go there, not without torches, which would no doubt reveal their position. "Release the, wargs! Gallen, you go with them, i want whoever's out there, 'alive'."<br><br>The wargs growled menacingly, as they were released from their chains, walking up to Azunai they sat down and awaited their orders. Azunai raised his hand towards the smoke, and that was all they needed, as they instantly ran into dark night. "Roger." Gallen replied, sprinting after the wargs.

				Miluiel tensed slightly when he put his arms around her but she quickly relaxed against him. Her cheeks turned pink slightly when he kissed her. No one had ever kissed her before, not even her cheek. It was a sweet gesture and it made her smile a bit. "Okay Franklin.... I'll rely on you. No more running from everything...." she said softly as she watched him make the beds. It was so nice to be with someone. She knew she could rely on him for anything, she didn't know how she knew it but she did. She finally had a friend for the first time in so many years. When he was done with hers she walked over and sat on it, "This is perfect actually. I usually just sleep on the ground or on some soft moss if I can find it. I've heard of beds but I've never actually slept on one." Miluiel suddenly shivered and looked off into the forest, "I.... I suddenly have a really bad feeling Franklin..."

				Franklin shifted. sniffing the air, he quickly turned back to Miluiel. "Hide, quickly. They are Worgs, hunting dogs of the human filth." He stiffened, grabbing his axe. "This could get messy. Don't be frightened, I won't let them get you." Snarling and growling, thick brown fur started for form along his skin, his muzzle lengthing and fangs growing from his mouth. He wasn't going full bear, but a hybridized form.<br><br>Grasping his axe tightly, he braced himself as the worgs burst through the woods into the clearing. "Come, you filthy beast. Come and taste your doom!" He swung his axe widely, taking down the first two that jumped at him. This was a large pack, and humans would be after them soon. They had to get out of here fast. As one charged at her, he twisted his hand, forming a fireball that lept from the campfire and threw it, catching the worg just before it lept as her. "Stay away from her! Miluiel, run, head north, the wind spirits will mask your tracks and scent, I'll be close behind you."<br><br>He yelped as one of the worg sunk its teeth into his flesh. Roaring, he ripped it off and threw it into the fire, burning it. Placing his hand on the ground, he channeled another spell, seemingly pulling a wall of earth straight from the ground. "Go, now, while we have a moment." He grabbed her arm and started running north. Looks like they weren't getting any sleep tonight, hopefully they could get to the valley soon.

				Miluiel let out a startled cry when the big dogs burst into the clearing. She moved away from Franklin but didn't leave the clearing. She couldn't just leave him alone. Her whole body froze as the warg jumped at her but then was engulfed in the fireball. Once again she was torn between running and staying. She couldn't leave him... Then Franklin grabbed her arm and they began running. She knew that wall wouldn't keep them for long. Moving away from Franklin a bit she said, "Turn back to your Human form now. You're too big like this..." Then without missing a stride she quickly turned to her true Unicorn form. She was just as beautiful and graceful in this form as her other. A pure, flawless white horse with a spiraling silver horn. ~*On my back Franklin, hurry!*~ she said telepathically to him.

				The wargs barked angrily at the wall that blocked them from their prey. "Idiots..." Gallen mumbled, leaping over the wall. The wargs soon followed, finally figuring they'd be able to walk around the wall. Gallen let out a loud roar, as he leaped up on Franklin, holding his poleaxe high in the air.

				Franklin nodded. With a roar, his body began to shrink, fur retracting into his body. He kept running, thought his pace slowed from the pain. "I.... I can't....." He grabbed onto her, jumping onto her back, nearly collapsing. "Thank you. Keep north, the valley isn't far off."<br><br>stowing his axe on his back, he held on to her. She was beautiful, even in animal form. casting a quick spell to cover their trail, he passed out on her back, the strain too much to handle for now.

				Miluiel caught sight of the cat-man with the weapon leaping at Franklin on her back and increased her speed. At the same time she turned her head and her horn flashed with a brilliant, blinding light right in the cat's eyes. If he were Human it would have permanently blinded him. Why was this cat-man attacking them? Shouldn't he be on their side? These thoughts just flashed in her mind briefly, all that mattered was he was attacking them and she wasn't going to let him hurt Franklin if she could do anything about it. Lowering her head she sped off at an incredible speed. After only a couple of steps the two of them shimmered and simply disappeared. As it had done for Franklin earlier the wind cushioned her steps so no sound could be heard and there were no tracks to be found nor any scent. This was what she was best at, running like the wind even through the dense forest. If she had been a normal horse Franklin likely would have fallen off in his unconscious state but even at top speed her gait was smooth and even. <br><br>She ran all night full tilt and into the morning, doing as he had said and running straight north. Miluiel didn't want to let up at all lest those hunters catch up with them. She ran with the single-minded purpose of protecting Franklin and getting as far away as possible. She was starting to get tired though and her breathing was becoming more labored but she didn't want to stop.

				Poisa continued to slither through the shadows. Continuing to taste the air for scents. Caching many, humans, were and others out there. He really did not care what he ate at this point. He had his fangs dripping with poison and is body was aching for something to fill it's emptiness. He came upon A couple of weres..a bear and a unicorn. He peered at the commotion from a nearby bush. Those dogs looked good to him. Even though the two looked like they were to escape. However, he moved on and found a wolf pack. This was the same one a female naga had just attacked. In a blinding flash of hos purple and gold scales and had constricted a large female wolf. Binding and squeezing hard. Bones were heard crunching. He unhinged his jaw and devoured half of it, throwing his head back to let the beast crawl down into his body. This large male naga merely let go of that mess and hinged his jaw back in place. Flicking his tongue back into the air. The others surrounded him, but they would not last as he was too fast and too scented to track. He lost the pack in the mess of bushes. Heading in a direction that he would encounter someone.

				Gallen roared as he was temporary blinded, by the light emitting from Miluiel's horn. Normally it wouldn't have mattered, but for some reason he could not smell his prey, and there were no sound, aside from the wargs. With a loud thud, he ran headfirst into a tree. "Son of a whore...." He groaned, as his vision slowly recovered. Looking around, the two he'd hunted were gone without a trace, and the wargs walked around, hopelessly confused. He sighed, at the sight of touch lights started to close. Whistling to gather the wargs around him, he made his way back to his men. "They got away!" he shouted, as Azunai came into sight. "They?" "One unicorn, and one druid." He added, not fully aware if Franklin was indeed a were, or someone who could change with the aid of magic. "Let the wargs run free, i want them found." Ordered Azunai, who would rather avoid adding "Two escaped us." to his next report. Gallen gave the signal, and the large gathering of wargs ran into the forest, spreading out to find any were that might be within the forest.

				~Sendia, Other side of Mountain, near river~<br><br>Sendia felt her Mother's fur pass under her fingers and tightened them after a moment. The slight tug made her Mother stop and turn her head back. She grunted to the two large males and then both kept lumbering off. While they also hurt at needing to say good bye to their sister they were off to find a new home to call theres, and home which hopefully wouldn't have the humans near.<br><br>Bending, Sendia rubbed her cheek against her Mother fur before a few lone tears made their way into the thick pelt. She felt the bear turn and then a large paw drew her small form in for a long hug. She had been watched for, cared for, protected for so long...and now she had to say good bye to that protection. Slowly the large Mother bear drew back and licked at her cheek, causing her to laugh before the bear drew back. She stayed in the same position till she was sure that the others were gone and she was alone.<br><br>Standing she hefted her staff in her hands and turned around slowly, birds were heading in one direction, water was coming from another. If she followed the water she would run into the settlement her Mother had heard about. But which way was it again? Towards the morning sun or away from it? Frowning before letting out a huge sigh the girl braced her shoulders, hefted her pack, and took her first step. And stumbled over a raised tree root she had conveniently placed her staff on the other side of. "Great, first step was a failure."<br><br>Shaking her head she carefully got back to her feet again and tried to make her first step again. This time she made it, a first, second, third, and then she could hear the rushing water, smell the freshness of it, and feel the softer ground beneath her feet. She had made it, but a new problem arose. Her Mother had said to keep the sun to one side of her and not stop but she couldn't remember which side and the sun was directly above, if the warmth on her hair was any indication. Making a face she sat down to wait for the sun to move, her first day alone wasn't going as it was planned.

				He could feel the pace of her movement, though he was almost unconscious. Breathing labored and heavy, he held on for dear life. "Don't exhaust yourself, this isn't a run you can make in one night. We just need somewhere to lay low for a while. I can hopefully get something to protect us for a while."<br><br>Calling upon the spirits again he let his mind wander, pleading his case before them. <em>"Great spirits, hear me, help your servant in his time of need. Someone or something is hunting us. I ask for your assistance tonight, Mask us from them, guard us from whatever they send our way."</em> <br><br>As soon as he finished, an opening appeared in a nearby bolder, large enough to house both of them comfortably.

				Miluiel saw the boulder he indicated and ran to it, slowing as she neared it so she wouldn't run full tilt inside. Once inside she noticed the entrance close up behind them. She hung her head, panting heavily after the long, hard run. Slowly she went down on her knees then gently tilted to the side to let Franklin slide off and to the ground. Once he was laying beside her she turned to her other form. The girl knelt on her hands and knees panting and trying to catch her breath. After a bit her breathing calmed and she looked to Franklin. She could smell blood and knew he'd been injured. She made her horn glow softly so she could see and found the bite from the warg on his arm. Bending down she touched her silver horn to his arm. It instantly cleansed the wound and slowly healed it. Now completely spent she collapsed beside him and passed out.

				<strong>Natalia Vodinova&nbsp; with Dethean&nbsp; and Mika - In the Wilderness ..camp nestled deep in the Dark Woods .</strong><br><br>&nbsp;Natalia sat down to eat ...enjoying the meal as the embers of the fire wore down ..darkness would soon be upon them as she moved to feed the wolves the remaining stew . Looking about she noticed one of them had wondered off that was odd ..though more than likely she had moved to check out what the male was doing . Doing a bit of other work around the camp as it was getting close to the time to pull into the caverns . Safer at night down there with the scavenger dogs that combed the forest for her kind . Part of her wondered if these two would not of lead them right to her , either way ..fight she would if need be . Killing for no reason upset Natalia though she was getting a better handle on that as her heart had started to grow cold and unfeeling . Maybe that was why she had guests now to remind her of the true purpose of their race . <br><br>Muttering as she offered up a few bed rolls to the others ... the fire was moved inward as the caverns offered a great hiding spot.&nbsp; The idea that they had to hide was repulsive but necessary it seemed . Natalia moved to sit upon her bed roll as she took out a piece of wood and began to widdle it ...as she way making a ladle to scoop out food from the pot . The other one had a crack in it . As she worked and hummed a bit . Glancing up at the others . <strong>" So does anyone have a story of their tribe or of a journey they have been on to speak about ?"&nbsp; </strong> Nat was not really tired and did enjoy a good story if truth be told . <br><br>The one wolf that went exploring it seemed had checked on Dethean and watched him for a brief moment of time . Then upon hearing something downwind the young wolf trudged off towards the noise of what it thought it heard. Doubling back upon its own tracks several times ...as it soon came across something but it was unlike anything it had seen before . Crouching down on its belly now to watch this giant slithering snake like creature that seemed to be devouring something . Realizing what ...made it whimper trying to speak to the snake creature which must be an ally as it was attacking the same creatures that stalked the forest for them as well. How far away had the young wolf traveled in the last few hours ?

				Sinoraa laid in the grass patiently, not moving an inch, until a prey would close in. But before that happened, a barking in the distance, coming closer by the minute. While most would not have heard it, she could feel the vague vibrations from the wargs call. It seemed that it's pack had scattered, for reasons she did not know. Didn't matter she guessed. She was not about to let a easy meal like this pass. She slithered towards the warg, knowing that alone, it was no need to use stealth. <br><br>The warg ran threw the forest, desperately trying to find the two who had escaped him. If they were not found, he knew there wouldn't be any meal for several day's, something he did not desire. He hardly had the time to react to the large shape that quickly slithered up to him. Before he knew it, two long fangs dug into his neck. He struggled but he quickly felt his muscles go numb. Unable to move, he was left to watch the large snakelike creature look down on him with a wicked grin. She hissed in satisfaction, looking down on her prey. Wargs did not taste as good as wolves, but they had more meat on their bones, which was much to her delight. With a loud snap, she dislodged her jaw and leaned down to swallow the warg. This process took her close to half an hour. Just as she was almost done, she gasped hearing the whimpering of a wolf that had snuck onto her. This was always her fear whenever she ate outside from her tunnels. She cursed that the warg had been to large to move. But she quickly shrugged it off as the wolf did not seem to attack. She returned a soft hiss at him, before returning to swallowing her meal.<br><br>For a couple of minutes, as the warg traveled threw her stomach, she looked to be pregnant, before it vanished into her long tail. She rose above the wolf, and hissed reassuringly. So many decisions... He'd make a good appetizer, that was clear. But why had he not attacked her? Why had he not gotten his pack to attack her in force. Her mind traveled to the weres with the pack. Then her mind traveled to the humans... Could the large number of humans lately, have something to do with the weres? Perhaps this would be a chance for good future opportunities? Perhaps she could catch one of those weres off guard, which would certainly be a better meal then this young pup...But she'd have to leave her tunnels, that was the one thing that gnawed on her mind. But to be honest, her constant boredom inside the tunnels had grown on her. If nothing else this could kill some time... Unless this was a trap... Tough in her pride, she tought wolves were far to simple minded for a plan like that...If they did not attack the weres, why would they attack a naga.<br><br>She hissed softly, with a warm smile at the wolf, as she'd often done when trying to gain the confidence of humans.

				Poisa had traveled quite the distance from his home. Despite the wolf he had recently devoured. He felt hungery still. He climbed up a large nearby tree and coiled around a thick branch that would support his weight. He flicked his tongue into the the air once more and smelled more wolves, a warg or two, which he did not know what they were or were called and a..naga? This made his leery and a bit upset. However, he had his territory so. he probably was in anothers territory. Meaning, he had to keep his guard up.<br><br>He slithered back down the tree following the scent he recently picked up. He decided to just stay hidden. It took several minutes, but when he arrived and peeked from behind a big bush. He saw a wolf, a female naga and a warg. He was to the left of Sinoraa. He kept his eyes glued to the scene and his body so still that he would not make any sounds, but was ready to move if he had too.

				Franklin woke with a start. Where was he, why was he not at the clearing? He looked around, seeing the sealed cavern he was in, and he noticed Miluiel, and his memories started flooding back to him. The clearing, the worgs, and the werecat that suddenly attacked them. Why, when there were so few of their kind left, would one turn on his brethren? Looking over to his companion, he remembered how brave she had been, how had it not been for her, they wouldn't be alive right now. He smiled at her, pouring her a small drink of water. It wasn't much, but it was enchanted, it would help her regain her strength. Setting it down near her, he lightly kissed her forehead, trying not to wake her.<br><br>The spirits were going to be upset with him. He had called upon them a lot tonight, and he needed to make amends. It would have to wait until they reached the haven though, he didn't have the time right now, he just hoped that the earth and wind spirits would keep them safe for a little while longer. He wasn't even sure how close they were to the haven, but given their pace, it was probally about half a day at best. Shaking his head again, he was amazed by this girl. "Thank you Miluiel, thank you for everything."

				Miluiel remained asleep when he kissed her forehead but a small smile formed on her lips. She sighed softly and shifted slightly in her sleep then laid still again. After awhile she finally woke. She stirred then groaned and brought her hand up to her head. She had pushed herself a bit too hard in their escape. She opened her eyes and saw Franklin sitting nearby. That was a relief. At least he was alright. She pushed herself into a sitting position then noticed the cup of water nearby. With a small smile she picked it up and sipped at it. The taste was wonderful plus she felt the much-needed energy flowing into her. She looked at Franklin and asked softly, "Are you alright? How is your arm? I think I remember healing it but... I'm not sure. It's a bit fuzzy."

How are you feeling?"&nbsp; As she lifted a hand to her head he slid over, trying to help her up. Smiling as she sipped the water he had given her, he placed a hand on her shoulder. "Take it easy there, you pushed yourself fairly hard last night." Looking at his arm at her comment, he noticed the bite marks were still there, but they were just bruises now. "My arm is doing well thank you."<br><br>Pulling her close for a hug, he gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Thank you, had you not been there, I would have never survived last night."

				Miluiel was happy that his arm was alright. She was a little surprised when he pulled her into a hug then shocked when she felt him press his lips to hers. His lips were soft and warm and it sent a little tingle down her spine. Her horn sparkled a little because of the strong emotions it made her feel. That was a kiss wasn't it? When he pulled away she looked at him with wide eyes and brought her fingertips up to touch her lips. Her cheeks turned slightly pink as well. She shook her head, her white hair swaying in front of her face, "Don't be sorry... I... I liked it. That was a kiss, right? It is something special that people share... it felt special... Does that mean you..." she blushed more and shook her head again looking away from him, "I'm being silly aren't I? It was just you saying thank you... you are welcome... I couldn't have made it without you either though..."

				Franklin blushed again. Why had he kissed her, he had just met her, and a kiss was something that in his tribe was a sign of affection, so why? "Indeed, that was a kiss, and I shouldn't have, I was too forward." He looked up when she started stumbling over her words. What that the first time she had been kissed? He had to admit, it felt good to have their lips pressed together, but still, she was a diffrent creature than he was. "No, all I did was buy us some time, you got us away from that crazy creature."<br><br>As she turned, he put his hand under her chin, turning her face back to his. He stared into her eyes for what seemed like forever. "We should rest a little longer here, the spirits of earth and wind will make sure we're safe and comfortable." Before she could reply, he found himself leaning in again, locking his lips against hers, embracing in a kiss much deeper than the first.

				~Sendia, Other side of Mountain, near river~<br><br>Sendia had waited until she was able to feel the light hitting her back. That gave her a good general description on which way to go, of course so would the river. Taking careful steps she walked until she could no longer feel the suns light and the air seemed cool on her skin. The sun had to have gone down and she was still alone. Didn't her Mother say something about regular patrols looking for were's from the safe area?<br><br>Making a slight noise she raised her foot to rub her toes, and use her staff against the ground. Strange there was no rock and yet she had hit her foot against something. Setting her staff down she felt with both hands and frowned, something was wrong here. Nothing was there and yet...she had hit something.<br><br>Standing she started to take a few more steps when something ran into her legs. A sour scent made her eyes water and she took a few steps backwards. Her staff moving to push against the sour smelling object and her ears picked up a low growl. Suddenly a chuckling noise started from higher up on the river bank, "This is almost too easy."<br><br>Blinking Sendia drew back some more and her legs ran into another foul smelling object. The one who had spoken smelled of blood and of human sweat. Her fingers tightened on her staff and her teeth ground together tightly. If the patrols were out, may they come quickly.

				As she stared into his eyes Miluiel felt her heart pounding and her stomach fluttering. What was she feeling? She had never felt anything like this before. It was wonderful and confusing at the same time. Her horn continued to sparkle softly. She nodded slightly when he said they should stay here for a time. She needed more rest anyway. Then he was leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers again. For a split second she was surprised but then she closed her eyes and pressed her lips back. She brought her hand up to lightly rest on his shoulder. Little sparks flew from her horn and floated down, to fade before they touched the ground. It felt wonderful to kiss him and she didn't want to stop.

				&nbsp;&lt;reposted ....lone wolf with two snake like creatures middle of the Dark Woods&gt; <br><br>The young wolf had watched the large snake like creature devour the warg ..and had hoped its whimpering to it would not make it a part of the meal . It had killed the creatures though that were rummaging the forest at night searching for her masters kind .

Again the wolf tilted its head and made a series of yodeling&nbsp; like growls in an effort to speak to the snake like creature before it . <br><br>Others would come ...more wargs ...it knew that ..and with them the enemy . Seeing the second Snake like creature emerge maybe it was best if he returned to his master.

Turning then as it growled at the new snake ..and took off to head back to the safety of the camp.

				Pushing against her, Franklin slowly leaned her back until she was laying on the ground, their embrace never broken. He wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but it felt right. leaning away from her for a moment, he let his eyes wander over her body. He smiled as he looked back into her eyes. "You are a very beautiful person Miluiel, don't ever be shy about that fact." His hands wrapped around her hips, pulling her close to him. He felt something stirring deep inside, and he wasn't sure why. The only time he had felt this before was when he was with his arranged mate, but she had perished in the human attacks, and he had been left alone. He sighed as he looked at her again, closing his eyed and leaning back in to kiss her once more, his tongue darting across her lips, wanting to taste her more.

				Miluiel laid back slowly as he pushed her to the floor. She wasn't sure what he was doing either but it didn't feel wrong. It did make her stomach flutter a bit more but not in a bad way. When she noticed his eyes roaming over her body she blushed. Her blush deepened when he said she was beautiful. It felt wonderful to hear that he thought she was beautiful. She reached up and touched his hair as he bent to kiss her again. She was a bit surprised when she felt his tongue flick along her lips. She parted them slightly and slid her tongue out to touch his. This was all so different from anything she had ever experienced. It was making her feel so many new things. Fear, anxiety and loneliness had ruled her life for so long it was sublime to be able to feel something else. She gently broke the kiss and whispered, "Is this love?"

				Franklin was caught a bit off guard by her question. Love? It had been so long since he had felt that emotion that he wasn't sure what it was anymore. "I believe so, but to be honest I don't remember what love feels like. I was arranged to a mate, and I loved her dearly, but then the humans came, they took all of them, my family, my friends, and even her. I've felt nothing but anger since then." Looking back into her eyes once more, he let a faint smile cross his face. "But whatever this is, I don't want it to stop." Laying his head upon her chest, nuzzling against her a bit, he laid beside her, just listening to her breathing for a bit. He didn't want to push it, they had just met after all. He was her guardian tonight wasn't he? Leaning up again, he kissed her forehead. "I'm sorry about all that, I just let myself get carried away." He tried to chuckle a bit, but all that showed was a small smile.

				Miluiel ran her fingers through his hair as he nuzzled against her chest. His story of losing everyone made her sad. It brought tears to her eyes. She had lost everyone too. She shook her head to remove the images of them being killed and butchered before her eyes. The movement shook a couple of her tears free and they rolled down the side of her face. When he laid next to her and apologized again she shook her head once more and looked at him, "Don't be sorry... I really like it. It lets me forget everything and feel something besides fear or sadness..." She rolled to her side and leaned over to gently press her lips to his again. She scooted the rest of her body closer to his so they were pressed together tightly.

				Franklin was supprized by her response, but more supprized by her actions. Running one hand to her face and the other to her hip, he held her close. Pulling away from her lips, he planted a few light kisses on her neck, his movements becoming more and more rough. It wasn't until he growled a bit and nipped her on the neck a few times that he pulled back again. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you." He kissed the spots he had nipped, as if it would help them feel better. she wasn't a bear, he couldn't handle her as rough as one, for fear he would seriously hurt her. Pulling her as close as he could, he continued to kiss her, moving down from her neck to the little exposed area of her upper chest.

				Sinoraa's twisted her head towards where the wolf was looking. She hissed menacingly at the unexpected arrival. Her kind was extremely territorial, and while this naga was obviously of a different kind, a lot more human looking, she had little intention of letting him onto her ground. She slithered herself in front of the wolf, wanting to protect all her future possibilities it carried. She let out a loud his, whipping her tail into the ground, causing a small quake threw the ground. She opened her mouth with a long, drawn out hiss, extending her long sharp fangs.

				Poisa had been caught. He slithered out into the opening and hissed. Watching this females display. He unhinged his jaw and reached into his mouth. He pulled out twin blades that were soaked in his own internal toxins and smelled heavily of it. He put both blades, one in each hand. Coiled his tail like a cobra and stood tall. His display would be different. He rose up slightly taller then her. His eyes glaring, but not using the move glare. His stiffened all his muscles to make them grow larger. His hissing grew louder into a bit of a roar when he opened his mouth and showed her his four fangs that seeped poison. He was a good 8 feet from her. His display was more of a defense display rather then offense. He hissed in the naga language to her. "I am only passing through. Strike at your own risk." Following the instinctual code for nagas.

				Miluiel's breath was coming harder and faster as she grew more excited. She closed her eyes and lightly traced her fingertips along his neck as he kissed her neck more and more roughly. When he nipped at her she gasped. It hadn't really hurt but it had surprised her. She smiled softly when he apologized and kissed where he had bitten her. The feelings he was evoking in her were new and so wonderful. She had never been touched or kissed before. Each little kiss made her shiver as a small wave of pleasure flowed through her. As he kissed along her chest she moaned softly and ran her fingers across his shoulders, her nails lightly dragging behind her fingertips. She wondered if he was feeling as good as she was or if she should do something more. She didn't stop to think where this might be heading. It felt too good for her to think too much about it.

				For what it counted for, Sinoraa beat him in length, although she did not rise up, as he did, making her look a lot shorter then she actually were. She hissed with disgust, as he looked more human then any naga she'd ever seen, as he stood up. "Keep moving then." She said i a deep hiss. She highly doubted the blades would do much against her scales, but a lucky strike in the eye, or ever worse mouth, was something she'd want to avoid. Her long tail coiled itself around the wolf, making sure the naga would be unable to launch at him.

				Poisa lowered himself and swallowed his blades. He again hissed the naga language to her. "The swamp near here is my territory...." He relaxed his muscles and uncoiled himself. His gold scales glowed in the moonlight. He slowly hissed, but spoke in human language. "If need be, you can passssss through my territory once...My only exception..." Would not matter anyways, his food source was gone from the swamps. Ever since the humans burned it. As soon as he started to move, scales of brown covered his flesh, making him more full naga and when he went into the bushes, it made him blend in, even the gold scales turned color. Soon, he was gone, outta sight.

				Franklin kept kissing along her chest, but hovered there for what seemed like forever. He was too afraid to move further than that right now, not without some sign. Sure, she had seemed to enjoy what was happening so far, but he wanted to make sure she knew what she was doing and that she was okay with it.As he thought, the hand on her hip slid down her leg a bit, to the edge of her dress. He was going to find out, even if it was subconsciously, he was going to figure out if she wanted to continue. Brushing her leg along the hem of the dress, he slowly slid his hand under it, slowly moving it back to her hip. Her skin felt so soft to his touch, so wonderful. as his hand moves up, her dress was moving with it, slowly uncovering her body to him, even if he hadn't actively noticed it yet.

I really like you though. I like how you are touching me. It feels so wonderful, so right. But... I'm sure when we reach the haven you will be able to find a much more suitable mate than me. I'm sure there will be many wonderful females of your kind to choose from..." She looked away from him and felt like crying. She wanted to keep going and know what it felt like to be with him. She felt so strongly for him and it felt right to be doing this with him. "Unless... you just want to this once..." she whispered.

"We should return to your pack." She said in common, and then repeating it, in snake tongue, unsure if he understood either of them. She didn't care about the naga who'd just passed, she was far to busy, imaging all the possibilities allying with a wolf pack could bring...&nbsp; And eating them, was a obvious possibility.

She reached up to brush her fingertips lightly along his arm and said softly, "We are alone now but when we get to the Haven I'm sure there will be more of your people. You said the Dragoons are calling everyone there. I want you too though... I want this." She was trembling slightly with a mixture of anticipation and a bit of nervousness. She sat up a little and slowly took her dress fully off, setting it off to the side with a blush as she laid back down with him. Her body was slim and beautiful. Her skin was so silky soft. The thicker white horse hair from her legs was in a U shape going across her hips but dipping down to show her bellybutton. Her long horse tail was tied up a bit. It was the same fine, soft texture as the hair on her head. She smiled at him and whispered, "You really think I am beautiful... even like this when I'm not fully either?"

As he spoke, he slid off the hide pants he had been wearing, exposing his body to her, letting her make the decision. Pressing her nude form against his, he could feel the softness of her fur, his hands sliding over the flesh of her backside, pulling her closer to him.

				Miluiel looked over his body when he took off his pants. It filled her with even more nervousness and excitement. She enjoyed the feeling of their naked bodies pressed together. To feel his skin sliding against hers was electric. His hands on her lit even more fires within her. She lightly ran her hand down his side and the other along his neck and shoulder. This was most certainly right. She could feel it with every part of her being. At his question she shook her head, "I... I think this time it would be best if you stayed like this." She could feel his hard shaft pressing hard against her and knowing he was even larger in his hybrid form made her sure it would be best in this one. She kissed him then murmured, "One day... but not our first time." Her heartbeat was quickening and she was nearly to the point of panting. Never had she felt like this. Her hand roamed further down and moved to run lightly over his hip and then his butt.

Continuing his tour of her body, he slid his hand over her thighs, feeling her body twitch in ways he was certain she had never felt before.

When she felt his finger run along her slit she gasped and her entire body shook. Her panting breathing became even quicker. No one had ever touched her there and she'd had no idea it was so sensitive. She rolled more to her back and spread her furry legs for him and moaned, "Mmm...

Not waiting, he pushed a little harder, sliding a single finger into her, slowly working it around until he found her clit.

As he flicked her clit her whole body jerked and she gasped and made a little squeaking noise. Then a shudder of pleasure ran through her body and she moaned deeply. That had really felt wonderful.

The girl wrapped her hand around him and squeezed him a little. She did as he suggested and explored it with her hand from the tip to the base, finding the little spots that made him jerk and teasing them.

She didn't care about the naga who'd just passed, she was far to busy, imaging all the possibilities allying with a wolf pack could bring...&nbsp; And eating them, was a obvious possibility.<br></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br>Poisa merely kept low to the ground as he crept back to his home in the swamps keeping good to his word. Though, it bugged the heck out of him. Well, it pissed him off because his eating spree was put to a sudden halt by that grey female naga. He spat some saliva in a harsh hiss when he thought about that naga. It took awhile, but he made it to the boarder of the two lands and entered his. His scales returned to the normal golden and purple colors as he followed an opened path back to his cave. He went into his cave and yawned. Heading back to his poison soaked bed pile and coiled in around in it. Where he went to sleep.

				Franklin shuddered as she touched him. Her skin felt good against his shaft. He began kissing down her neck, taking little nips along her skin until he reached her breast. He licked at them for a bit before taking one of the nipples in his mouth, suckling at it as he continues to rub at her clit. "Yes Miluiel, that feels so good, keep going."

				Sinoraa slithered closely behind the wolf, smelling the air, for any indication of a trap. She really wasn't much of a peoples person, and while most people wouldn't expect a wolf to double cross them, she wouldn't put it past him. The sun was rising, and so Sinoraa's scales shifted, into a green like color, to hide better in the light, despite the fact that she was clearly visible, as the wolf, insisted on traveling in open areas. "No wonder they get hunted down, so easily." She thought to herself. Her head suddenly rose, someone was closing in on them. One of the Were's from last night? Sinoraa rose up, so that she towered behind the small wolf, as she shifted back to her normal gray coloration. She looked up ahead, and saw a human female approach them. Though her disguise didn't fool sinoraa, as the woman clearly carried the scent, of a werewolf. Sinoraa bowed her head, as she'd greeted humans in her past. "Greetings, girl." She said, in her hissing snake like voice. "This." She gestured to the wolf before her. "Is of your pack, i believe?"

				Miluiel moaned and shivered as he began suckling at her breast. Each little suck and flick of his tongue upon her nipple made her inner walls pulse around his finger. She became even more wet and she could feel something strange building within her. She felt a tingling all over her sex even more than before. All the while her hand still explored his cock. She had wrapped her hand around it and was stroking it firmly. She flicked her thumb over the tip of the head when her hand was at the top.

				Franklin gasped. For this being her first time, she was good. Feeling her beginning to clench down on his fingers, he slowed down, removing them from her core. Looking up at her eyes, he nodded, removing his cock from her hand and climbing over her. He took a moment to examine her body once again, such a beautiful creature at the peak of arousal. The scent emanating from her body was driving him wild. He had to have her, here and now, and he was almost positive she wouldn't fight it.<br><br>Sliding close, he rubbed his shaft against her sex, amazed by how wet she was already. He rubbed for a little bit longer, trying to exact moans of pleasure from her. "I promise I'll be gentle Miluiel, but this might hurt just a bit." He whispered to her before leaning in for a passion filled kiss. As he kissed her tender lips, he slid himself into her, slowly forcing each inch into her.

				Miluiel watched as he climbed on top of her between her legs. She was very excited and still just a bit nervous. She moaned and closed her eyes as she felt him rubbing against her. It sent tingles all through her body. When he spoke she nodded a little and smiled softly. Laying on her back her long bangs were mostly out of her face so he could fully see it. She reached up and put her soft hands on the back of his head and his neck as he leaned down to kiss her passionately. She returned the kiss with just as much passion then gasped and winced in pain slightly when she felt him slipping inside her, breaking her hymen. The girl was excited enough that it didn't hurt as he moved in further it only felt different and wonderful. She trembled as he slid further and further into her very tight and wet opening. She moved her hips to meet his, wanting him as far in her as he could go. Her skin was very warm and was glowing softly. Her horn was sparkling brightly in her excitement and the feelings she felt for Franklin.

				Miluiel returned his kisses, enjoying the feeling of his tongue in her mouth. When he sat up more and gripped her hips she moaned and arched her back. Her groans, moans and pants rang in the cave along with his. Everything he was doing felt wonderful. She moved her hands to the back of his and then up his arms to his shoulders. She rested them there and used him as leverage to help move her hips against his. Within her she could feel something quickly building. She didn't know what it was but it felt good. The more it built the more her inner walls pulsed around him and the more she wanted.

				Thrusting as hard as he could now, Franklin lifted her legs up, resting them on his shoulders so he could push himself as deep as possible into her. It wouldn't be long now, he guessed he only would last a few more moments at this pace, but he didn't care. Quickening his pace, he whimpered out to her. "Miluiel I... I'm going to cum soon. Release youself with me, let us finish together." He drove himself in one last time, holding as deep as he could possibly reach inside her body.

She gripped his arms, her whole body shuddering with pleasure. When he told her he was going to cum and then thrust so deep into her she gasped sharply then cried out, "Oh Franklin!" Her whole body tensed and trembled as her first-ever orgasm charged through her body. Her inner walls clamped down very tightly on him and pulsed hard, trying to milk his seed from him. Her horn glowed brilliantly and sparked as the joy of release flowed through her.

His body shook as he exploded inside her, each pulse sending more and more of his seed deep into her body. "Oh Miluiel, you are so wonderful." He released her legs, sliding himself from her. Laying down beside her, he gave her a gentle kiss. "We have a long trip tomorrow, we had better get some rest."

				Miluiel loved the feeling of him exploding within her. It was just indescribable. She moaned softly as she felt him withdrawing from her. When he laid next to her she was panting heavily and still trembling. She returned his kiss then nodded. She just couldn't find her voice at the moment. She rolled to her side and scooted close to him, laying her head lightly on his shoulder. After a little bit she was finally able to say softly, "That was amazing... I've never felt anything like it. It was like my body was on fire and just tightening and tightening until the end. Oh and that was... mmmm... heaven when it released. Thank you for giving me that experience Franklin." She nuzzled her face against his neck and kissed his shoulder lightly as she sighed happily. She felt so relaxed and wonderful at that moment. It felt like she was floating rather than laying on the cold hard floor.

He ran his hand through her hair as she lay there next to him. "Once we arrive at the haven, I'm sure you we can find someone to help you out. Now rest, we have a long walk tomorrow, and neither of use will be able to continue if we are exhausted." Panting a light kiss on her forehead, he wrapped his arms around her. "And once we get you the help you are after, I'm sure you can find someone there to settle down with."

				Miluiel's heart fell at his last statement. She didn't want anyone else but him. If he didn't want her though there wasn't anything she could say about it. But he'd just said he felt strongly for her. Shouldn't he want to be with her if he felt like that? She was so confused and she didn't know how to bring this up to him. She said in barely a whisper, "I.... I suppose so... but..." She sighed softly, unable to continue what she wanted to say. Of course he wouldn't want to settle down with her he would want one of his own kind. She had known that before they had even had sex. She just hadn't expected to feel like she was. She wanted him and only him now. She didn't want another male touching her.

				Franklin looked down to her. "What is it Miluiel?" His face showed genuine concern for his new friend. Puzzled, he waited for her answer, hoping it wasn't something he had said that had upset her. "I just ment that maybe there is a chance that another of your kind exist at the haven. We can't lose hope." He had hoped against hope that another like her did exist. How could he tell her how he felt when earlier that night she had made the comment about them being two completly diffrent people.

It really was a wonderful scent. "I don't care if we're different. You are a good man that is all that matters to me... I understand if you don't feel the same way though. I understand if you want a female of your own kind as your mate." she said softly.

She scooted close to him and rested her hand on his shoulder, "Yet the elemental spirits listen to you and guide and help you. They don't do that for just anyone... I do know that about them. They see things in you that are special, that are worth protecting and guiding. What you did was wrong but it sounds to me like you have learned from it and that you are truly sorry.

				-Itzal, In the Dark Woods-<br><br>"Look, there it goes!"<br><br>"Quick, after it!"<br><br>"Don't let it escape!"<br><br>A large group of human soldiers were in pursuit of small creature covered in black fur, with a tail that was tipped white. To an outsider, this might appear to be some sort of fox hunt, but all involved knew it wasn't. These soldiers were out hunting for weres, and this fox just happened to be one. <br><br>Said fox was running at a dead sprint, keeping out of range of the horsemen and their hunting dogs. He knew that he could not outrun this group forever, and decided that he would need to end it. Slipping through a particularly thick set of trees and brush, the fox vanished from sight. The hunting dogs and the soldiers did not hesitate to follow after. They saw the tree line had given way to a large, grassy clearing. The black fox was plainly visible, and they charged after it.<br><br>That's when all hell broke loose.<br><br>The horses and soldiers seemed to slam into solid objects that weren't there, and dogs began to howl in pain, stuck in place, with blood suddenly seeping from gashes and wounds. The men began to call out to each other in confusion, trying to figure out what was happening.<br><br>Several feet away, the fox had to suppress the barking laughter that threatened to escape from him and give away his position. While their eyes saw a grassy plain, his glowing blue eyes saw what was really there. An especially thick set of trees and thorny shrubs. They had never seen the dangerous obstacles coming. Humans were so fun to trick.<br><br>Turning away, Itzal started moving again, slower than before. It would take some time for them to figure out what was going on. He was as good as gone, as far as they were concerned.
