I pulled myself up on all fours and leaped into a mad\ndash towards the forest edge. I ran to a Wolverin I have never met and I did\nnot know why maybe I just needed to see him but again why? These are the\nquestions I asked myself as I ran to the wounded Wolverin.\n \n##__Two Figures in the Darkness__##\n \nI drop from the tree with a smile, I\nwatch the little Kamoray run off to save a Wolverin he has never meet and give\na light chuckle under my breath, I look up into the big oak tree. With a\nchuckle in my voice I say \"Hun, come on down and see this.\"\n \nI look back to the Kamoray as he\napproaches the forest's edge and I hear a rustle in the leaves as my love comes\ndown. I wait for him to say something. I get a pleasant surprise feeling a set\nof strong arms wrap around my middle and in a deep calm voice in my ear\n\"Mmmm, now sweets it's not kind to\nsmile at someone's misfortune\"\n \nI frown as he rests his chin on my\nshoulder and I spit back \"I'm not, I'm just happy that he is getting help,\nbecause of us. Do you think that Kamoray would help without a little nudge?\"\n \nI push back into him as he says \"I\ndon't know, and I now never will. Love you act too fast, try to give them a\nchance to do it on their own.\"\n \nI give a light giggle as I feel my\ncheek receive a light peck, and with a smile I say \"Okay, you're right\"\n \nI hear a chuckle and him say \"You know\nI am, now I need to meet up with are friends that stayed in school, you don't\ncause too much trouble while I'm gone. Okay?\"\nI laugh and go along with it \"Aww but\nit's so much fun Hun\" I smile at the rhyme and turn back to him still in his\narms feeling safe and warm.\n \nI hear a light laugh as he says\n\"Someone's naughty, I have to go now love you should have this covered, no\npoint starting to save someone and not finishing it\" I feel his shoulders rise\nin a shrug.\n \nI feel him kiss the nape of my neck and\nI give a slight shudder as he lets go of me. I don't bother to turn to say good\nbye as I know he has already left. I give a smile and a light chuckle as I say\n\"What a tease\" I hold my arm with one paw and cross my legs slightly and feel\nthe cold evening air drain the heat from my body. I frown and turn away from\nthe Kamoray as he tries to help the Wolverin sitting on the edge of death, and\nsigh *Time to get stuff done* I head towards the village and towards a\ncertain Kamoray that may want to help.\n \n##__Nar-I__##\n \n*BITCH!* I take a cup from an\nold dark furred man in a quick motion and walk back to the bar a furious then\nstand and take a moment to calm down. I sigh wanting to tell him off but I know\nthat will make life harder and I'm almost okay with that. *He's are best\ncustomer! Ya well if he grabs me one more time he will lose that paw,\nbest customer or not.* I was somewhat in a bad mood before Razam showed up,\nnow...now I'm just pissed off, not with Razam but with the hag I work for she\nalways needs to start something with him. *Is it so much to give a starving\nperson some food, even just scraps? Ha welllll fuck you I will anyways.*\n \nI think for a moment about why I could\ndo that and not bitch smack the old creep. I sigh *because one everyone will\nsee and the other no one will...hopefully. I will have to do it before we leave\ntown.* I hear a creak of the front door I glance over my shoulder and see a\nfemale Wolverin with a mixed fur pattern. It had a deep purple with red\nhighlights, her fur was well taken care of unlike most around here. But the\nweird part was the fact that she was a Wolverin *what brings a Wolverin\nhere? They usually stay in or near the northern glacier*\n \nI pour a glass for the old Kamoray\nstill thinking about the Wolverin of odd color and realize no one is paying her\nmind. You would think that someone like her would have everyone gawking but no.\nI walk over to the old man and place down the mug. Out of the corner of my eye\nI could see her take a seat at the bar,*Good now I will be able to keep an\neye on her, we don't need trouble and I think it just came knocking* I\nthink as I turn from the old man and I feel someone grab the base of my tail.\nAnd I turned to see the old creep with his arm out and I growled \"THAT'S\nIT! You are so dead\" as I say this I grab an empty glass of the table\nnext to me.\n \n\"I would not do that if I were you\" I\nwhip my head around to find the source of the voice. I look to the Wolverin and\nI start to feel the roots and plant life around the village call to me as my\nanger increases. I get snapped out of it at the sound of the glass cracking in\nmy paw. I look down to see my claws out and the cup covered in fractures and\nthen my rage returns two fold and I toss the glass at the wall it just grazes\nover the Wolverines head. I see her put down her ears as it goes over and\nsmashes against the wooden wall.\nThe tavern had gone quiet with my anger\nrising. I take a deep breath ^I'm so sick of this bull shit every fucking\nday...it ends now. ^ I walk behind the bar and place my paws down on each\nside of the Wolverin and glare to her. Still looking forward to my chest not\ncaring that I was there.\n \nThen she has the nerve to say \"Are you\ngoing to say something?\" ^What a smug little bitch^\n \n\"O I will, like who the f-\" I say before\nshe looks up to me and my anger turned to absolute fear. I could see her eyes,\nOne a light gold and the other, a Leviathans but deep blue, red with a little\ngreen. I go pale and shuddered as she glares at me as if waiting for something.\nAnd raises an ear to me.\n \n\"Pardon? I don't think I got that last\npart?\" she says leaning towards me with her ears still raised before saying\n\"Come one now what were you going to say\"\nI lower my paws in front of myself.\nLike a cub that broke the cookie jar I say \"Nothing... Sorry for my temper\"\n \nShe smiles and nods \"Now that's better.\nBefore we continue get me a drink Nar-I Minal Levin\" I frown as I hear my full\nname used and slowly turn back to the mugs and alcohol. With shaking paws I\npour a glass of vodka ^Now I have messed up bad...^ I take a deep breath\nand turn back to face her. Placing the cup down I pull up a chair and take a\nseat with my head down looking at my foot paws.\n \nI watch her grab the glass and take a\nlong slow drink, it was as if she was trying to make me feel anxious, and it\nworked. I watched her every movement, watching her like a mouse would a cat,\nadmiring its power but in fear, knowing it could kill it in the simplest\naction. I was the mouse and I watching the cat drink. She placed the glass down\nwith a clink. Looking me in the eyes she said \"Now sweets you need to work on\nyour temper\" she scolded me like a mother she child ^Sit up straight clean\nyour fur wash behind your ears^ I remembered vividly my mother and how she\nwould say that she does it because she cares. Correcting my mistakes as always.\n\"Okay now let us get this over with. I\nknow you want to know why the hell I'm here right?\"\n \nI look to her and give a quick nod and\nsay \"Yes, if I may know.\"\n\"Well I came to tell you friend is in\ntrouble\" I watch her look down to her claws and check they are clean.\n \nMy eyes go wide as I think about who it\ncould be and with a shaky voice I get out \"W-who?\" I wait for a response as she\npicks her nails cleaning them, keeping herself clean.\n\"Your friend Razam, He is running off\nas we speak to help a Wolverin, little does he know that there are killers in\nthe woods\" she glances up to me her mind elsewhere and my face pale in shock\n \n\"I need to go...please.\" I look begging\nto leave so I can go save my friend \"Please...\"\n\"Go, I have other things to attend to\nsweets\" I jump up knocking over the chair as heard that\n \nI head for the door and I grab the\nhandle throwing it open showing the night just through the door. I hear her say\nfrom behind me \"Don't break any hearts today please\" that was the last thing I\nheard before the door closed with a thud. I ran as fast as my paws could carry\nme to Razam's house. Into the night into the dark on ^I'm coming...^\n \n##--A friend of Jaw-raw's \u0026 a\nlittle more from Nar---##\nI walk down the street as the world had\ndescended into darkness. I always felt more comfortable in the shroud of night,\n*Easier to disappear, easier move with little to no trace. No way to find me*\nI sigh with my head down, my shoe kicks louse a pebble, I watch it skip along\nthe ground.\n \nI look up from the ground and down the\ndead road of night. Silent, empty, dead some call it eerie but I find it\npeaceful an calming. I look at the buildings around me. I raised a paw to the\nbuilding and felt the wood the wood, worn from the time that erodes it. Time\nthe killer of all things. I sigh as I drag my paw along the wooden wall.\nScratching the top layer slightly.\n \nI can feel a cold night breeze blow\nthrough the village, through my home...the only one I have left. I watch the\nsings sway as the wind blows against them. I feel it blow through my fur and\nchill my skin. I can feel the nip in the damp cold night air but I smile *It's\nnice* I walk forward with my tail swaying behind, I pull my hood back with\na smile on my face as I look to the moon as I try to find out what is making me\nhappy *Why can't I help but smile? Is it the empty streets? Or is it I feel\nsafe for once...could it be I don't need to hide anymore?* with my hood\ndown I bring my paw up. I pet back the fur on my head as it stood up *It's\nbeen too long since I put my hood down. To long since I felt safe with whom I\nwas...*  \n \nI smile up to the moon for almost five\nminutes. Then bring my head down following the moon beams to the land I walk\non. I turn a corner and look forward to see the town square and its small pond.\nI watch the wind disturb the calm water and see the moon light to cause it to\nshimmer with life as I approach. I see a flicker of movement in the corner of\nmy eye, I quickly yank my hood over my head and face and try to hide from the\napprocher.\n \n\"O come on now Kunar, I do not bite,\nmuch\" I hear a female chuckle with a smile in her voice that sounded like a\nKamoray like me. *Who is she? How does she know my name?*\n\"I would like to be left alone\" I say\njust getting to the point of it do not want her here who ever she was.\n \nI hear a slight purr in her voice as\nshe says \"Well too bad, I wish to speak with you\" I hear her walk forward and\ntake up a spot behind me. I glance around from under my hood eyeing the exits *I\ndon't want to get in a fight now, too much to worry about*\n \nI say with a stern tone \"Please be on\nyour way, I want to be left in peace\" even as I said it I realized she had no\nintention of leaving me to myself and I give a light sigh as I turn to walk\naway from the lady\n.\nI hear a sigh from the lady before she\nsays \"Nar-I is in danger\" I stop in my tracks *what...?* I hear her\nchuckle behind me before she says \"There we go, now come back here so we can\ntalk\"\n \nI make a scowl as I say with power behind\nmy words \"Where is she.\" I remain calm as turn around to the Kamoray with a\ndeath wish before I look at her as I say \"If you hurt her I will make your\ndeath as painful as possible\"\n \nI hear her chuckle as I turn towards\nher and hear her say \"Kunar, love I would never.\" I look the smiling figure up\nand down and see, a Kamoray with orange spotted fur, she was about medium\nheight. She held a drink of some sort in her left paw. Every so often she would\nbring it up and take a sip of the golden yellow liquid. \"Now will you listen\nHun?\" as she said this I looked to her face. Then I saw them, her eyes. One of\nsilver and the other like a dragon, orange red and green.\n \nAs I see them I step forward and\napologize saying \"Sorry for the disrespect my lady\" I make a slight bow in\napology as I had now realize the disrespect I have shown. *What is a goddess\ndoing here?* \"May I know how Nar-I is in danger? And where I may find her\"\nI look up to her for a response. A response I would kill for, but I keep my\ncool, if I lost it, I would only achieve in making her angry. I could feel\nmyself get twitchier by the moment, my ear would flick at the slightest sound,\nmy tail would move around in jerky movements. Trying hardest to stay still and\nto be patient.\n \nShe nods her head as the moon light\nflows around her and she looks beautiful more beautiful than anything I have\nseen before. I soon realized I was staring, her aura was strong pulling me in\nits enchanting snare *Dam...i-i need to focus* I look back up to her\nface and wait for her to continue.\n \n\"Better yet I will tell you how to save\nher\" she nods as she brings the cup up and takes a long drink before holding it\nat her hip. With an emotionless face she says calmly \"You kill those who going\nto cause her harm. A true act of love I could not plan it better myself she\nlooks down to me with a nod bringing the glass up again.\n \nI look to her with a shocked expression\neyes wide \"But how?\" I look up to her hoping that she did not mean what I think\nshe wanted me to do *I-I can't do that again...I-It was horrible... The, the\nway he screamed...* images flashed in my mind as I recall the last time,\nand the blood, everywhere.\n \nShe lowered her glass with a light sigh\nand looks to me \"Kunar... We both know how\" she leans over me with her eye\nbrows a little angular, showing I had upset her slightly. One of the few things\nyou never do around a god is being rude, some will tolerate it but some will\nnot to any degree. That is what I was dealing with right now.\n \nShe pulled the neck of my shirt forward\nslightly. You could see on my chest pitch black fur that was burned there. It\nmarks me for life, marks we for what I am, and what I will always be. I look up\nto her wincing slightly not in pain but in fear pulling away only a little \"We\nboth know what you are. We both know what you are capable of.\" she let go of my\nshirt and I stumble back slightly and I land on my tail. I look up at the\ntowering goddess and hear her say \"She is by the woods and there are a group of\nbandits in the woods next to her\" she raised the glass and takes a long drink\nto finish it off. She then throws it to the side where it shatters against the\nhouse next to us. She turns away and says over her shoulder \"Now go\" that was\nthe first time I meet the goddess and I hoped it would be the last but now, I\nrun.\n \n#__A wolf under the wood__#\n \nI let out a quiet moan in pain. My head\nwas pounding like a drum, my vision blurred. I could hear the rustle of the\nleaves in the trees *Ar- are they still there...* I look down my snout\ninto the forest edge. *I-I can't see them over the log...* I turn my\nhead and my nose lands in the dirt. I let my eyes fall slightly *I-is this\nthe end..? To die a coward...* I could try and pull out from the tree, but\nthe tree wasn't the problem. It was a problem, but it might be the only reason\nI'm still breathing.\n \nI wince in pain as I tried to take a\nbreath of air. My breathing staggered, I could feel blood trickling from the\ncut on my gut and down thru my deep brown chest and belly fur. The cut was bad\nfrom what I felt but I could not remember what caused it *I-I was chased ... did\nthey stab me?* I could feel my blood pool slightly beneath me. The noise\nstarted to fade with my vision the world now sounded wobbly like sounds under\nwater.\n \nThe world was going quite the only\nthing I could hear was my own heartbeat as it pounded in my skull I give the\nworld one last look before I close my tear stained eyes and lay in the dark of\nnight, with only the wind for my company as I felt my end near. Then I hear\nlight thumping sound. I let out a breath I did not know I had, It gets louder I\nlay still. It gets even louder, I can quite voices but they sounding like they\nwere a million miles away. Only whispers. As it got closer I could make out a\nsecond set of foot steps\n \nI turned my head slowly towards them as\nthey came close *Well you did your job I'm already dying* I closed my eyes\nwithout hope knowing here, in this land it's only you, no one was going to help\nwithout reason. I remember a deep voice saying to me long ago ^you're on your\nown child^ the memory faded soon as hazy as my vision but the voice was\ncrystal. With my head in the dirt I could hear mumbled shouts from the\napproaches.\n \nI could only make out a few words as it\nspoke \"Y## ##, #an ##u ## m#! #ta# ### ##.\" I could feel a warm paw tap the\nside of my muzzle lightly, smelling like alcohol. I let out a quiet moan with\nmy eyes closed *Are... are they helping me...* I heard one of them say\nthru the fog of pain \"Ra###! #e's al###!\" I felt a slightly bigger paw run over\nmy chest and then a head pressed against it and I let out a louder moan. And I\ncould no longer hear them and the world went quiet. The sound of death... silence\n "}
