Timestamp: Day: 24th Month: Tessera Year: 81378 Recently after his 29th hatchday, the prisioner escaped. He had been running for sometime now and had come upon the swamps. He took residence in them till further notice. A Dark form sat in the sawmplands. No smile crossed his face as he swung around in anger. He had recently escaped the prision and many were still looking for him. He didn't car who. As long, as they came no where near him, he would be safe.
Off in the distance, the sounds of very light scrambling followed by a distant flapping sound and then a harsh though very faint thuding sound, could be heard... Lesslasheav made yet another attempt at flight by climbing up into another tree and then jumping and flapping furiously with her rather small batish looking wings... Flap.Flap.Flap..Flap.Flap.. .....THUD!!! Umph!!
He turned to the Source of the noise. A low growl formed in his throat as he moved towards the noise. He saw movement but decided not to be seen in case this was one of those looking for him. His black hide did not bland in with the surrounding foilage and he was easy to spot.
She climbed nimbly up the branches of the trees, and got ready to jump again... Just as her feet left the limbs, she caught a wiff of something, not reaking of swampy muskness. It was something different. She knew that smell.....THWAP!!! In noticing the peculiar scent, she forgot to flap her wings, which where small, but did offer a substantial slowing to her fall. Lesslasheav struck the ground hard. And landed on her right haunch. She immediately yelped in pain. She thought of many curse words before the pain subsided enough for her to think of something else.... She sniffed the air again... It smelled like a jail. Or maybe a prison. She knew the smell for she, herself, had spent numerous days locked up for on petty crime or another... "Who is there?", she questioned, as she reached into her satchel and removed a small sharp dagger..
-A runner- He responded. His voice gruff and seemingly angry at everything. He stepped foreward, his overlarge fangs protruding from his upper lip as her growled. He saw the dagger being taken out and he growled even further. He had been locked in a jail cell almost all his life and his instics were reverted to an almost native state.
She tried to kippup to her feet, but as her weight shifted to her feet, she fell and grimaced in pain, dropping the dagger to the ground. She grabbed ahold of her right haunch suprised at the underestimated degree of her injury.. She immeadiately began to crawl backwards, feeling wounded and threatened...
He dropped to all fours and began walking towards her. -Did they send you?- he asked. -Are you working for them?- He growled again
"The only thing that sent me was a prevailing updraft.. ", she said growling through her teeth... Still backing, and trying to raise to up enough to try running on three good legs. Her eyes had begun to glow green, and she began to tremble with fear and rage..
-LIAR!- He screamed and lunged for the injured infant. Hate burned in his eyes, though hate at what was unknown.
Lesslasheav jumped high on her one good leg, clearing the lunging male pendragon. She quickly pulled herself up and swung to a somewhat higher branch. She tried to break of a limb, but had to be content some large sticks, which she started hurling at the male as hard as she could, which nearly maked her lose her balance. "Back of you freakin' psycho!! Get a freakin' grip!!!"
He growled as sticks hit his head. He flinched with each one but couldn't find the source. His natural instics proved strange. His growling ceased as an extreley large branch hit him and he fell, knocked out for the moment.
She knew she couldn't possibly out run this Pendragon with her wounded leg. She couldn't possibly stay up in these trees for too long, or she'd just end up falling out. So she slipped silently down the trees until she could see the male clearly. She noticed that there was a large limb laying beside the males head. 'It musta broke off when I swang from it. Great! Now he's going to be even more pychotic with a bleamin' headache!' ,she thought. She looked closely to see if there was a pack, satchel, pouch or some thing like that...
He groaned but made no movement. He had not been awakened. His leather pouch was tied around his tail which lay on the floor at the moment. His black tail flame smaller than usual.
She slowly, silently crawled from the tree to the ground. She noticed the gleam of reflected light off her razor sharp dagger. The throbbing in her leg was beginning to subside. She could almost put weight on it, just not enough to run or walk very well yet. She quietly limped over to her dagger and picked it up and placed it back in her satchel. She then pulled out a ball of hard twine and rapped it around the males tail, several times, tieing a knot into it. The she strung out the twine and tied it to a tree. It wouldn't stop him at all, but it would slow him down for just a second. That's all Lesslasheav needed... She moved to just within visual range of the male and then stopped and began rubbing her right haunch, to shake off some of the soreness so she could run..
He groaned and sat up. His eyes closed, he rubbed his head in pain. He opened his eyes and saw the tiny one again. -YOU!- He growled and began chasing after her. He stopped short when the yawrn stretched tight. He growled and thrashed around trying to dislodge himself from the yarn or the yarn from the tree.
"Now listen to me!", she yelled, demanding his attention... " I am not after you. I don't want nothing to do with you! If I wanted you dead, don't you think I woulda cut your throat whilst you slept.", she continued. "Think about it!! Oh. Sorry 'bout the branch. that was an accident."
eyes narrowed. How could he beleive her. His entire life was just one lie after another. Why should this girl's story be any different.
She continued, "Look! Just leave me alone. I don't want anything from you. I don't know who you are and besides. Whats a niotie like me supposed to do against the likes of a Male like yourself? I really don't care if you trust me, just leave me be. That's all I ask, and that's all I'll return."
