Most of it is dialoge so don't worry...</td></tr></table> The night was cold and dark. The firce winds blew through the canopy of leaves that covered the forest floor. The tree swayed from side to side creaking and moaning loudly. The leaves rose from the ground dancing with the wind, rustling loudly. The moon, full, hung high in the blackness. The stars glistened brightly against the cold blackness of the blanket that covered the Vivulu Jungle. This night was created, was meant to be in order to destroy lives. Make perfect lives go bad and rot. Now we shall meet the victims, for tonight: Dyvx Xvyd Gender: Male Pyrokenisis, Journeyman Telepathy, Journeyman Date of Birth: Mia 1st Age: 26 Place of Birth: Volcanoe of the Nyonge Mountain Range Notes: Mecanical (metal) body and Weredragon Mint Forgd Gender: Female Lockpicking, Journeyman Sightless Fighting, Journeyman Date of Birth: Tria 25th Age: 22 Place of Birth: Pwa Desert Notes: Green and Kosa Mint looked up nervously at the slightly taller Dyvx who looked straight ahead. His face showing no sign of emotion at all. His one normal eye, though they both looked normal, didn't not move, while the other continued to swivel down upon Mint when she wasn't looking. Mint suddenly grabbed her dear friend's shoulder pulling him to a halt. He turned giving her the 'look'. She did not back down but spoke out into the night fiercly <font color="aqua"> Dyvx, we must find somewhere else to go, a shelter of some sort...you musn't change into ... into that...thing! </font> <font color="maroon"> Mint, we must keep going, we need to get out of this forest, not hide in it! </font> Dyvx moodily pulls out from Mint's kind grasp stalking forward expecting Mint to follow his orders. <font color="aqua"> But, Dyvx! We can't risk someone getting hurt...</font> The poor femme was cut off as Dyvx turned furious anger in both eyes as he walked right up to Mint, until his face was inches from hers. <font color="maroon"> So is that it? Am I a threat?! We will keep going at not stop because it is night! </font> <font color="aqua"> But...</font> Slap!!! Dyvx had hit her! He really had. Mint fell to the ground moaning in pain, placing a paw on the side of her maw. She felt for blood but found known though she knew it would be bruised in the morning. Dyvx hesitated for a moment, as though going against his own will saying angrily <font color="maroon"> Now lets get.....ahhhh! </font> Dyvx fell to the ground growling yelling and roaring in pain as his metal body suck into the flesh and fangs grew from his already, normally sharp teeth. His eyes, now both normal glowed an evil red, his claws grew longer and longer. Tall spikes poked out from his back and across his tail where the flame had dispersed into nothingness. He was in his monster form. <font color="maroon"> Run...Mint...run!! </font> Mint screamed trying to pull herself up following Dyvx's last normal 'dragon request, just standing as the beast in front of her let out one final roar before Dyvx was no more.
No, the images still wouldn't go away. Flashing memories of her dead mother. A 15 year old Kien Amednu raced through the many trees, wings folded unto her back, scaring herself in the prosess. Weeks had passed since her mother's death and the pain inside of her was still fresh. She wanted to just stop running, stop breathing, stop living. But she had already made a promise to herself. The words of her mother were etched in her mind. She would keep on living. In a pathetic way because now, she was literally running away from her pain. She came to a stop, nearby where Mint (whom she would meet later on somewhere in the Pwa Desert and not recognise her) and Dyvx were conversing, though she didn't know that. She placed a paw on one of the swaying trees, bent down towards the ground, panting. She felt something running down her cheek and reached up another paw to her face. She could feel hot liquid on her moist fur and was surprised. She didn't know she was crying and didn't feel that she was crying. But the silent tears still flow while her emotions had run dry. She slump down unto the jungle floor and looked into the black night, wind whipping her fur and making them dance. It was dangerous, being out here alone. But she didn't care. She knew enough fight moves to keep her alive. Besides, she got her father's dagger. What was there to be afraid of? Kien had rested her head on the tree stump, watched the moon and was about to go to sleep when her sensitive ears picked up a growl. She sat up straight and concentrated on where the sound came from. It came somewhere from her right, but she wasn't quite sure. She was tired and she might be wrong. A roar was emmited this time and then a scream. Now she was sure it was from her right. She got up and turned, her brown eyes searched for the source of the sound. Was someone in danger? Was she in the hands of danger? She took a few steps towards where she heard the noises, squinting in the darkness, she could only make out dark figures. The moonlight didn't help much as it was shining from the north. She was in the south area and could only see white outlines. She stood there in the safety of her dark place, trying to make out what was happening. She wanted to go out there and investigate but she thought staying in the dark would be a better idea. She could watch what was happening from there, though it was hard to see, and could help if any help was needed. The wind blew hard and threatened to knock some of the tall mighty trees down. She folded her arms around her torso and waited.
Mint struggled to her feet. The beast, which used to be Dyvx, advanced towards her and she continued to take another step back. She had never beenwith Dyvx during this sort of time. He was a monster and usually never left shelter on cold nights when the full moon was up, for that was the only time that he ever changed into this beast. Mint lifted a paw to where Dyvx had hit her and felt three long scratches and blood dripping down lightly. The beast roared again, catching the cent of another 'dragon in the wind. But because the wind was so strong it was impossible for him to figure out exactly where the other 'dragon was. He mentally shrugged before continuing towards Mint who seemed brain dead. She had no idea where to go, she could fight, very well in fact but yet she still knew that this guy could snap her like a twig. She had also caught the cent of another 'dragon. Mint half prayed that the 'dragon would help her but she also willed the 'dragon to run and save herself. The beast was getting closer and Mint had no place to go at all.
Kien was pushed slightly by the wind and she stumbled. She looked up at the terrifying beast as he roared. Don't catch my scent... she prayed silently. Then she sighed a sigh of relief when the beast turned away from her. She held her breath in suspend when Mint didn't turn away from the beast. Kien stood there, willing and urging the dark pendragon to move. But instead, the femme just stood there. Get her, Kien! Maybe she's scared or something! she scolded herself and started towards Mint. "Hey! Run, why don't you?" she shouted. The fierce wind was making her hard to be heard and she hoped that Mint heard her. She didn't wait for a reaction and grabbed the olive colored pendragon and pulled her away from the beast. "Do you want to get killed? Move!"
Mint shook her head clearing it from invading thoughts and raced away from the beast at the sound of the other 'dragons words. She raced forward. Her mind raced as well. Dyvx had become too strong for even her to fight. She wasn't sure but she doubted that the other femme could take down a beast of Dyvx's size. Suddenly she had an idea. <font color="aqua"> Come on! Stop! We'll fly over him so that we're downwind and he won't be able to smell us, then we'll be able to loose him. </font> Mint stood her ground the beast only a few yards away. When she could hear his panting she opened her wings rising into the sky, giving the femme below a small tug in order to signal that they go. She flew over the beast moving forward until she was behind him. The beast took a while to figure out what was going on, and when he did he couldn't smell the two femme's anymore. With a little hope, the beast wouldn't be able to smell the 'dragons.
Kien was running and headed towards the safety of the thick jungle. Suddenly she heard the other femme speak out. She listened hard and tried to make out what the dark olive was saying. It was really hard to hear as the wind was throwing in it's own voice and blowing Mint's away. She saw Mint stop and was thinking that Mint was mad. Kien was deciding whether or not to drag the other into the jungle when Mint tugged at Kien and flew off. Kien immediately got the idea and spread out her wings. She bent her knees and then took off. The wind was blowing hard and she was glad that her mother had nagged her to eat more. Not that Kien was fat, but she was glad she wasn't as tiny if she hadn't eaten enough. She followed Mint behind the raging beast. She signaled Mint to keep going forward and get out of the danger that was still near by.
Mint nodded eagerly at the other dragon's signal and continued to fly on looking nervously behind her at the beast who was squinting into the night trying to find out where his prey had gone. The beast must have caught a whiff of their scent for he opened his wings and rose up and up into the night sky racing after Kien and Mint, eyes blazing, trying to spot the victums. Mint racked her brain for something to do and then remembered one of the weaknesses that Dyvx had told her about. If they could hide somewhere where the scent of something else would cover up their own the beast wouldn't be able to find them. The beast would have to find them with its eyes which weren't very skilled. Mint couldn't think of anywhere to go and called over to Kien as loud as she could <font color="aqua"> Hey! Do you know where there is something that will over power our own smell? It's the only way to get away from him! </font>
<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td>>.< ack...sorry! I seem to have forgoten this post.. heh heh...</td></tr></table> Mint's voice was hard to hear but Kien caught every word. She recked her brains on places that could mask their pendragon smell. Her first option was to go for dung. But the dung in this forest sting to high heaven. Any pendragon who put that on would faint! It took her a while but she got a good idea. She signaled to Mint to go east. Praying that the beast wouldn't catch their scent yet, she flew lower to ground. They reached the place. A pool of black murk. At night it was pretty hard to see what it was. But Kien knew exactly what the murk is. She sometimes come here to relax. Her feet touched ground and a grey paw scooped up the murky substance. "I hope you like going for spa. I read somewhere that in ancient times, humans loved to put these on their faces. It's a myth though. Just as humans are." she said as she slopped the thick goop on her fur. "Oh and it's mud by the way."
Mint followed Kien quickly she didn't even hesitate when they reached the mud and slopped down into the pool. <font color="aqua"> I wasn't expecting to swim today, name's Mint by the way. </font> Mint looked around the beast was walking by the pool of mud. He roared and continued searching for his dinner <font color="aqua">look, there is only one way to get Dyvx to turn back into his normal 'dragon shape, we have to remind him of people from his normal life, like me or his family. he also has to be out of view of the moon which trigger his transformation. So here's the plan, we'll lead him to a large abandoned cabin i saw nearby, but we'll lead him by sight, not sent so we can get away if its necissary. once he's inside the cabin i'll talk to him and try to remind him and so on. Ill need your help...will you? </font>
Kien considered Mint's words in her head. It would be a slight risk to help her. Although Kien's fighting skills were enough to bring down a creature twice her size, she wasn't sure that it'll do for a werewolf. Especially one with metalic body and is raging like some lunatic. But then she couldn't leave Mint alone. The 15 year old's brown eyes studied Mint. Although it was dark, but Kien thought that she looked like she'd seen a ghost. That werewolf is someone she knows. Maybe even someone she cares about... she thought. "Yes, I'll help you. But," she paused to wipe the gunk of mud on her face. "...what happens if we fail?"
