				<div align="center">(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg202/exelis/AnthroFantasy/TysWolf.jpg)</div><br>The large, dark figure stood up in the room, groaning and stretched as he let the chains fall away from his form.&nbsp; Standing to his full height, the beast turned slowly to glare at the man standing by the door who was just crossing his arms and just staring at him.&nbsp; These monks, priests, servants of the gods, whatever they called themselves were nothing more than witches and wizards in his eyes.&nbsp; They kept him bound here with their magic and restrained with these thick chains because he was dangerous.&nbsp; In all honesty it was unwise of them because before he would have overlooked them, but now he wanted no more but to tear into them for doing this to him.&nbsp; He was a strong, proud warrior, not some pet that was to follow their commands.&nbsp; Too bad their spells prevented him from harming them...fatally.<br><br>"Don't glare like that demon wolf, Takashi Yagasaki.&nbsp; You get yourself in a spot of trouble every time you are allowed to roam free."&nbsp; The man at the door spoke as he threw a pair of shorts at the large, hulking beast.&nbsp; "Cover up would you, we have some guests.&nbsp; You are getting a chance to earn your freedom back and to have your record of stealing wiped clean."&nbsp; The large wolf snarled as he grabbed the shorts and awkwardly stepped in them, pulling the dark gray cloth over his lower body to cover his large wolf-hood.&nbsp; Sure he had pillaged a bit here and there, getting his pickings at the local stocks and farm animals here and there.&nbsp; They made easy targets, and delicious meals.&nbsp; It was not all that easy for a wolf being to get a job or earn money amongst these so called civilized societies.<br><br>With all of his accessories in place, he turned and walked toward the man at the door of his cell, his large feet padding on the stone floor until he was standing right before the puny spell caster of a monk, having about a good foot over him in height.&nbsp; Intimidation, that was his goal as Takashi growled and snarled, a small look of uncertainty flashed across the man's face until he looked upon the collar on the large wolf's neck and touched the matching bracelet on his own wrist.&nbsp; Returning a smirk to the razor teeth of this black beast, he turned and motioned for him to follow like an obedient pup.&nbsp; How it irritated the furry creature, he wanted nothing more than to teach him a lesson...but he would only be hurting himself as well with the spell cast upon the collar that radiated through his body.<br><br>Snorting in anger, Takashi grumbled "fine then...have it your way," before following the monk out of the cell and into the Monastery.&nbsp; This quest, he had heard only a little bit about it.&nbsp; Apparently they expected him to accompany some scholar on a journey and act as a body guard to make sure they stayed safe during their travels.&nbsp; He was not a baby sitter...

				How was it the wolf knew so much about his duties already?&nbsp; His charge so young and naive.&nbsp; Yet so beautiful and intelligent.&nbsp; She was lead into the Monastery by the headmaster, very nervous about the affair.&nbsp; She didn't know who - or what - her guardian would be.&nbsp; In the back of her mind, she did hope he was at least cute or handsome.&nbsp; If things went well, she would be spending a lot of time with him, after all.&nbsp; Being told to wait by the headmaster at the office door of the leading Father of the Monastery.&nbsp; The monk who'd occompanied Takashi left the room as he came in, introducing himself to her as a lowly monk, giving her his bracelet, "This is blessed to keep you safe.&nbsp; It will help your bodyguard stay close as well."&nbsp; <br><br>After that, he left, not wanting to be put into the same room without that safe guard with the savage beast.&nbsp; Terra herself waited untill she heard her name called, poking her head in first, she looked around, only skimming over the wolf that Takashi was, having only seen his kind as stuffed mounts, if asked at first, she would say she thought him a stuffed mount for decoration somewhere.&nbsp; "Y-yes, headmaster," she said, coming inside, closing the door behind her.&nbsp; <br><br>"About time, you should have come in when the monk was through with you," the headmaster snapped at her, making her wince.&nbsp; She did her best not to look too down about the chiding as she came forwards.&nbsp; "This is Father Aldrich.&nbsp; He has been the keeper for your bodyguard for the last few years.&nbsp; You should thank hi for the measures he has taken to see to it you have such a fitting protector for your journey."<br><br>She didn't like being told to do something she would have done anyways, but she thanked the man and glanced again at the 'stuffed mount'.&nbsp; Had she just seen it move?&nbsp; Her gaze was fixed back on the two yet again after the glance, not seeing anything in her quick look that alarmed her.&nbsp; "Please, Father Aldrich, who is he?&nbsp; The Headmaster has not told me anything about him," she asked the man, not knowing the one of whom she spoke of was actually in the room.

				Coming into the room, the large wolf stood up straight, stretching his body and hearing his spine crack back in place as he stood up straight.&nbsp; Takashi had been hunched over for so long, it felt good just to stretch and be out and about.&nbsp; Standing there now, still and silent, his emerald green eyes shifted back and forth as he scanned over the room of the monastery that the monk had lead him to.&nbsp; It seemed their "guests" had already arrived and were being greeted at the door and shown inside.&nbsp; Staying behind the monk, his eyes scanned over the old man and the young woman.&nbsp; What was this?&nbsp; He was support to escort some old mutt and try to keep him safe, the man could die easily from a heart attack...there was no way he could prevent or protect him from that.&nbsp; Plus he had his granddaughter there helping him along, pathetic.<br><br>Though soon the situation took a turn as he saw the monk take off the bracelet and hand it off to the young, and notably cute girl.&nbsp; A gleam shown in the overgrown beast's eyes.&nbsp; It was the perfect opening for some well deserved and long awaited payback.&nbsp; Getting ready to move in for a break of the bone or two as the monk bustled out, the wolf stopped as his eyes locked onto the girl that put the bracelet on her wrist and it hit him as the meat sacks in the room started to talk.&nbsp; It was not the old man who he was going to protect, but this small girl?!<br><br>At the queue of her asking who her so called protector was going to be, Takashi grumbled deeply as he moved quickly and swiftly from his spot and barged into the room with a snarl.&nbsp; "You can't be serious.&nbsp; You expect me to baby sit this little girl and follow her around like some foolish pup?"&nbsp; He would not submit to someone so small and inferior, it annoyed and irritated him when these monks tried to control him with these spells, but now a female was going to take the reins?&nbsp; Only thing she would be good for is some eye candy and a portable sex toy.<br><br>Aldrich gave off a little smirk, "now now Takashi, you don't know all the fine details of the matter.&nbsp; Let's not fly off the handle here.&nbsp; Besides, if you do this task for us then you will earn your freedom and start over fresh once again with a new record.&nbsp; No longer would you have to live the life of an outlaw.&nbsp; This should be a simple task for you...protecting this young woman on her journey from monsters and demons just like you."&nbsp; The wolf growled threateningly, not liking his tone one bit.

				The young woman's head snapped around at first as ashe heard the beast talk.&nbsp; And then her eyes widened.&nbsp; Her mouth gaped.&nbsp; And finally she stated the obvious.&nbsp; "I-It talked," she said, obviously not aware before he had that he'd been able too, in fact not been aware he was alive.&nbsp; She'd only ever seen his kind stuffed and mounted.&nbsp; Seeing his looks towards her, she whimpered softly and stepped away, a little afraid of him.&nbsp; She'd never thought she'd ever see one of his kind alive.&nbsp; She heard Father Aldrich talk, looking at him she shook her head.&nbsp; "Oh, no, no, no, no," she said, "This must be a mistake!&nbsp; Demon wolves are known for their diet to INCLUDE humans!&nbsp; He could eat me in a single bite!"&nbsp; Ok, she said in her mind, maybe two bites.&nbsp; She looked at the headmaster, "Surely you're joking!&nbsp; First you're sending ME out and now this!"&nbsp; She looked absolutely distraught, and the headmaster, the old grinch that he was, was not about to have any of it.&nbsp; Not when he'd put so much planning into it.<br><br>"Young LADY," he growled, standing up and advancing on her, the fear of him overriding her fear of the wolf and making her step back and back and back untill she was against his side as he began to chew her through, "I have enough of your whimpering and quimpering and simpering mess!&nbsp; You are the ONLY one who has EVER deciphered the text and the so are the only proper one to FIND IT!&nbsp; Now be a good child and lead the way for this bastard and yourself to find that gods be damned library or so help me you will NEVER SET FOOT IN MY SCHOOL AGAIN!"&nbsp; A small cry came from her lips at his last threat.&nbsp; The whole reason she was there was to attend his school.&nbsp; To study and learn.&nbsp; To never have to marry some simpleton or give her life to a God she was so unsure of.&nbsp; <br><br>She stayed silent a moment looking up she saw she was more or less sandwiched between her two biggest current fears.&nbsp; A shudder went through her as she closed her eyes in defeat.&nbsp; Either way...&nbsp; It didn't seem like she would be welcome in a library to merely study and learn soon.&nbsp; She gave a soft whimper as she nodded, not daring to look the man in the face.&nbsp; He looked down on her condecendingly before smiling wickedly and turning his back.&nbsp; "Good.&nbsp; Now I will leave you alone and head back to my school.&nbsp; Father, please take care of miss Abenthe, I'm sure she needs it," he drawled, before leaving.<br><br>The young woman moved a few steps away from the demon quickly as she watched him leave, trembling a bit from the insults he quite obviously hurled at her.&nbsp; Her jaw was locked tight however, to keep herself from saying anything rash or hurtful.&nbsp; As the door closed, she turned to the Father, "I-I'm sorry.&nbsp; I didn't mean to insult your choice...&nbsp; I just..."&nbsp; She still wasn't terribly sure he wouldn't eat her.

				Raising an eyebrow, Takashi looked at the petite woman as she seemed to be frantic about having him as a protector.&nbsp; What did she have to worry about, his job was simply to keep her safe on this foolish journey, he was the one that had the right to complain...to chaperon this girl, and to some sort of library?&nbsp; What the hell was all of this about?&nbsp; When they released him from his confines because he agreed to try and "earn" his freedom, there was no mentioning of aiding some young female and her jog to pick up some books.&nbsp; A library, how boring, why was he even needed?&nbsp; Books were not dangerous at all...though he supposed depending on the path of this adventure anything could be possible.&nbsp; Still...this quest for a library was so disappointing...he could barely read.<br><br>What was more surprising was that her fear seemed to shift from him to the Headmaster of the school, in fact she even cowered away from the man and backed toward him a bit.&nbsp; That was rather odd, seemed this woman valued education over her own existence in a way, a silly thought.&nbsp; This was something a being of instinct like him could not really understand.&nbsp; Takashi growled at the man though as he dared to insult him as well.&nbsp; This woman may have been protected by the spell, the old man was not.&nbsp; As he walked out the wolf wanted nothing more than to snap and take a bite out of him...though rotten meat like his would make for a poor and distasteful snack.<br><br>Grunting with slightly amusement and yet frustration, the large harry beast turned away from the girl and Aldrich.&nbsp; The Father at a gleam to his eye as he nodded at Terra, "you will be quite safe with this brute.&nbsp; Just use your brains to lead and guide him and you will be fine.&nbsp; He cannot harm you, that bracelet you wear on your wrist there that was given to you when you first entered the Monastery is linked to the collar you see on the beast's neck there.&nbsp; We have cast a spell in which any time you are harmed, he will feel his collar buzz...thus he can sense whenever you are in trouble and come to your aid.&nbsp; Also if you should die, then his life force will be drained out by the collar so he will be sure to keep you alive.&nbsp; To make sure he sticks close and doesn't try to run off, we also created a perimeter that acts like a shock field.&nbsp; If he gets too far from you, he will get a nice little jolt through his body."<br><br>Takashi reached up and touched the collar with his claw.&nbsp; They added a perimeter, that was a new feature.&nbsp; Before they kept him chained up so he would not escape.&nbsp; It seemed they were taking precautions so that he would not run away and avoid this quest and his duties...or rather his punishments.&nbsp; Putting the slightest force and tugging with his claw as if he were meaning to rip it free from his neck, caused a sharp shock to radiate through him.&nbsp; The wolf grunted in discomfort and slowly turned around to eye the woman up and down.&nbsp; "I would not bother eating you anyways, not enough meat on your bones.&nbsp; Not very appealing at all."&nbsp; He snapped, with a lie...she was attractive, not in a way that stirred his blood lust but more of his sexual appetite.<br><br>"Let's just get this over with so I can get this stupid collar off my neck and get back to my life and away from the foolishness you humans bask in."&nbsp; Walking slowly toward the two of them, his large feet padded softly on the wood floor before he suddenly dropped to all fours and sat down like a normal canine would...only he was much larger of course.

				"Thank you...&nbsp; &nbsp;For the re-assurance, Father," she said softly, unsure if she was really reassured.&nbsp; The headmaster's words had hit her hard.&nbsp; Normally so self assured, normally none of the things he'd called her.&nbsp; Whimpering, quimpering and simpering...&nbsp; All the 'imperings'.&nbsp; She'd done nothing but since since she'd found out she'd be on this quest.&nbsp; She looked up as the wolf did his own 'reassuring,' snapping at her about how there wasn't enough meat on her.&nbsp; On an abbey's diet, of course there wasn't!&nbsp; She fought to keep her face as neutral as she could to his words, but her face still showed her worries quite plainly as he demanded they get to the library.<br><br>She sighed softly and nodded, looking to the Father, she bowed like a Nun as she thanked him again, "I think we will just need to pick up some supplies in your town and then we'll be off.&nbsp; I'm sorry for any trouble I may have caused you."&nbsp; She smiled softly, though it didn't reach her eyes as she clutched the dull brown bag that she had draped across her chest.&nbsp; A traveler's bag, though it looked ready to fall apart any moment, she was glad she'd not had to worry about the needed accessory, and despite everything, she was glad to have it with her.&nbsp; <br><br>She looked at the beast, now knowing he wasn't a stuffed decoration and already knowing he wasn't an animal, rather than ordering, she asked, "Shall we go?&nbsp; You look hungry...&nbsp; Maybe we can find something in the market."&nbsp; She didn't have much, and knew that they'd have to find a way to get more money soon after they left.&nbsp; She only had enough for perhaps a month's worth of food and the supplies they would need, if it were just her, she knew it would last several months, but...&nbsp; He was a very big creature, and she was sure he had an appetite to match.&nbsp; Oh, she wished the headmaster had said he would fund this journey, for a girl like her, she had plenty in savings, but for a journey and one that would take so long...&nbsp; It wasn't much at all.&nbsp; Little did she know, such was part of his own plan to see to it she never made it into his school.

				How did he get himself in such a predicament?&nbsp; Sure he was considered a thief, ate some of the local animals and all of that, but that was not the problem.&nbsp; It was the fact that he actually managed to get himself caught.&nbsp; Takashi was faster and stronger than any man or beast in this town.&nbsp; It was picking away at him on how they actually managed to capture him.&nbsp; The large wolf had no problem invading them until those bothersome spell casters showed up and caught him in a binding spell.&nbsp; It took three of them to contain him until they managed to get all the charms or whatever complete for the collar hey placed around his neck.&nbsp; How he hated this collar, even with his shackles off he was still imprisoned.<br><br>Looking at the bracelet on Terra's arm, Takashi began to think maybe it was not all that bad.&nbsp; He was out of that cell and could get a little bit of freedom to stretch his legs and all of that.&nbsp; As long as he stayed within the allowed perimeter he could do exactly as he pleased right?&nbsp; Short of killing her of course.&nbsp; This should be a rather short and simple task to help this girl on her quest to the library, at least he hoped so.&nbsp; He did not exactly know all the details quite yet or where the library even was.&nbsp; If he was needed to protect her on the way to such a library then there was probably some sort of catch to it.<br><br>His green eyes fell on Terra's face as she spoke to him and he nodded just slightly as he sighed heavily and stood up to his full height.&nbsp; The monstrous wolf was just ready to get out of there and away from the Monastery.&nbsp; "Let's go."&nbsp; He was indeed rather hungry, getting a little snack at the market would be good though he would probably just end up hunting later on as they traveled.&nbsp; Hunting was half the fun, something he was a natural at and enjoyed.<br><br>It was a bit strange though, this little woman before him actually showing him some courtesy and asking him if h was ready to go and if he wanted to get something to eat.&nbsp; This was something he had not really experienced with the monks, sure they fed him and all of that.&nbsp; At the most though they were polite to him on a sarcastic level as they treated him like a demon, an abomination to society.&nbsp; Humans did always think of themselves as superior though so it was no surprise there.&nbsp; However, this female seemed to show some compassion...females were known for that of course, but it was unlikely for her to relay on a beast like him.&nbsp; Just before she had been freaking out about traveling with him, perhaps she was coming to terms with it though and just accepting it because she knew he was restrained by the wretched collar on his neck that was magically bound to the bracelet upon her skimpy wrist.

				"Let's go then," she said softly, doing her best to at least not act afraid.&nbsp; The Mother Superior always said, act how you want to be and eventually, you'll forget you're acting and be who you want to be.&nbsp; She'd not had much to try it out with, but it seemed to serve her well enough in the past.&nbsp; She bid the holy man goodbye and quickly left the office, quite happy to be out of it.&nbsp; She never liked offices.&nbsp; So stuffy.&nbsp; She knew many people thought the same of libraries, but if they had a lot of windows, and plenty of space between shelves...&nbsp; Oh, she could never say anything bad for a library simply because of the books!&nbsp; <br><br>"I wish I could visit the library here," she murmured, knowing the Monasteries was perhaps legendary.&nbsp; It was a definitely 'for men only', however, as it belonged to the church.&nbsp; Just thinking of how she was so looked down upon in her chosen profession made her wish she was born a man.<br><br>She looked up at the beast that was her new companion, about to say something but was just struck by her fear for a moment, making her freeze in such a way that she was still walking, but looking at him still opened mouthed.&nbsp; After a few steps, she managed to shake it off, and asked him, "What would you like to eat?&nbsp; I don't know when next we'll be in a town, so this is probably the last hot meal for a while..."&nbsp; At least for her, she would have thought, if she knew he hunted.&nbsp; "I know they will have fresh mutton.&nbsp; There is a shepherds guild in the town!"&nbsp; As she talked, she had to pull herself from looking directly at him, afraid if she did she'd be struck again.&nbsp; She wasn't used to him yet, and she still wasn't sure when she would be.&nbsp; "I also hear the cheese is good this time of year, there won't be any vegetables but root ones this time of year.&nbsp; We may find some fruit though...&nbsp; I hear the merchants are also big on pickled fruit this year.&nbsp; I know they pickle it in honey, but it sounds sour, doesn't it," she asked as they finally came to the courtyard of the monetary, seeming to run off her mouth.&nbsp; Perhaps so she wouldn't run off her legs.&nbsp;

				With a snarl toward the monk and the Monastery in general and then stormed out behind the small figure of the girl.&nbsp; Walking on his hind legs, he actually had to watch himself and his pace so he did not bump into Terra.&nbsp; Because of their size difference his steps where much larger and more spread out than hers, so he had a faster natural pace.&nbsp; This would start to agitate him if their pace was going to continue at such a rate.&nbsp; He wanted to get this little senseless quest over and done with as soon as possible.&nbsp; Dropping down onto all fours so he was no longer towering over her, it was a bit easier for him to keep a steady pace as he padded alongside her.&nbsp; Once they were out of this horrible town, he was going to start to let lose a bit.&nbsp; Just being out of that cell and Monastery felt nice and refreshing.&nbsp; The sunlight felt warm on his black, silky fur as the wind ruffled it.&nbsp; The various aromas hit his nostrils, the unique scent of the woman walking next to him was the strongest of them all.&nbsp; Her scent was not all that unpleasant...<br><br>"Don't know why you care about books so much...or what the deal is with your apparent obsession with libraries and this quest to go to one."&nbsp; Being the canine creature that he was, he liked to dwell more on his animal instincts and activities and live the life more that of a beast than some member of a society...especially if such a society locked him up.&nbsp; There were too many rules and laws, it was much more fun to just do as he pleased out in the wild and away from civilization.&nbsp; Though it was also fun to mess around with these people a bit as well who were adjusted to their simple lives and then freaked out when something changed and did not go according to plan.<br><br>Grumbling and ears twitching, Takashi glanced at her as she talked.&nbsp; She sure was the talkative type, the opposite of his personality.&nbsp; He liked to keep to himself, the loner type especially when it kept to dealing with those he did not know or those of other species.&nbsp; He was an independent alpha male, one to speak with actions more than to vocalize everything.&nbsp; Humans were definitely an odd bunch with the way they operated, their words sometimes contradicted the language of their body and the way they lived was very questionable.&nbsp; Who else would willingly submit themselves to such a complex system?<br><br>"I mainly just eat meat.&nbsp; Don't worry about me too much.&nbsp; I am a natural predator so I can hold myself over by hunting while we travel."&nbsp; His large green orbs looked around for just a moment, he felt a bit out of place in such a setting.&nbsp; They were going to a market to pay for food, something he was use to getting by hunting and scavenge for.&nbsp; A snack sounded good to hold him over though.&nbsp; "Maybe a little something with cheese."&nbsp; That would be a nice treat since cheese had to be handmade and was not a usual delicacy found in a forest.

				She smiled up at the wolf a little on the nervous side.&nbsp; He didn't act so far like he would eat her but...&nbsp; He was quite large...&nbsp; And quite intimidating with the teeth and fur...&nbsp; Wanting them to get on as quickly as possible, seeing the looks of the people about them - most scared of the large wolf - she hurried to get them something to eat immediately.&nbsp; Hoping to at least be able to use him while haggling for decent prices on food for travel.&nbsp; Able to see his fangs as he ate his treat of hot cheese and lamb wrapped in a bun of wheat bread, she managed to get the market men to give her fairly low prices on the food she wanted for travel.&nbsp; A few treats she knew she would have to eat first - cheese and soft bread, along with a few odd bits of fruit that was in season, and then other bits like hard bread and dried meat that would be able to last and be stretched out.&nbsp; Before they left she gave a noticeably lingering gaze to an area in the market that had dresses and other things normal girls went crazy for.&nbsp; If asked about it, she would just say that she was needing a new dress - something that was true, but not even the half of it.&nbsp; She may have wanted to be a scholar, but she was still of the female persuasion.<br><br>She sighed softly as they finally got out of the market - and by stepping out of it, out of town.&nbsp; "I suppose we should head west...&nbsp; We will have to make our way to Portsmouth and cross the water way..."&nbsp; She looked uncertain of herself as she mentioned such a path.&nbsp; She'd never even been on a boat!&nbsp; Dangerous, kantankerous things...&nbsp; They could develop holes at any time they wished, it seemed.&nbsp; She then looked up at him, "Did you like the lamb and cheese?&nbsp; I haven't eaten all of mine - it's a bit big for me...&nbsp; If you want, you can have the rest...&nbsp; While it's still warm."
