The Warped

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White listened in as Kiral was talking about the prophecy again, when his input was being requested the wolf dragon didn't really want to talk* "We should be able to get the job done." *He yawned and kept close to the fire, wanting to stay warm for the moment* "Reminds me of home when we'd lay in living room in front of the fireplace. Sitting there thinking about work and the customers, eventually we'd get up and go to sleep." *His mind remained at home while the prophecy was being talked about*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral sighed and laid back, staring up at the sky and slowly puffing away, "I really wonder what's going on back at home. Wonder if anyone misses us, or getting ready to fire my ass. Good thing I sent out a check to my mother the day before we came here." He took a deep inhale before putting it out carefully and put that filter back into his pack. Kiral made a sigh of relief and closed his eyes, hands behind his head and elbows up.

Mahi noticed that White wasn't big on talking at the moment but didn't say anything about it since there was no point in him being forced to talk and she couldn't blame him anyway. Her eyelids started to get heavy and close and she forced them back open again. This happened multiple times before she finally laid back on the ground. As her eyes were directed toward the sky, she wished that she could see the stars and let out a sigh. "What do they look like?" She said, her voice barely audible since it accidentally slipped out and had been meant for her thoughts only.

*The wolf dragon at this point had leaned over and fallen asleep, perhaps beyond the notice of his companions he dreamed peacefully* "A quiet day at home and a little bit of leisure time, great for relaxation." *He put his feet up on the porch and laid back in his chair looking out at the front lawn* "It's unfortunate that this is too good to be true as it is a dream, it really is better than the current location of my group." *He stretched in his chair* "I wonder what we'll find next on the quest."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral barely, but surely heard Mahi, since she was not too far from him, and reached over with his finger. He poked it into her face and traced the shape of the Star of David. With that, he rolled over and drifted off to sleep. Early the next morning, Kiral awoke to a cloudy and grimy day. Oh, goddammit. Something tells me something bad's going to happen today.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi had been slowly drifting off to sleep when Kiral poked her and traced a shape on her face. "Must have said that out loud..." She thought to herself. The shape seemed kind of weird and she wondered if that was just how stars actually looked or was just how they were drawn. Her mind didn't let her think on it too much though and she fell asleep only a few seconds later. When she woke up the next morning, she could tell that the weather wasn't good as she sat up and stretched her arms up into the air.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*The wolf dragon stretched and yawned when he realized he was finally awake himself, having heard the others getting up as well he assumed it was time to get moving, but then looked up at the sky* "Oh good, I like rainy days. Also makes it a lot less hotter outside, which is always good in my book. This day might be a little bit better hopefully." *He looked over to Kiral and Mahi* "Whenever we're done looking around we can finally get back to the current task at hand." *White stood up straight and waited for Kiral to give the direction to start going*

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral stretched as he got up and yawned, opening his great maw. He then scratched his back after twisting it left and right. Several wild wolves ran by, but didn't pay the group mind. However, one of the wolves did look quite odd. It's face was square from the side, and didn't really have a muzzle. It had large teeth and it was twice the size of the other ones. But what creeped him out the most was an even larger version of that wolf ran alongside those wolves, coming from behind the forest treeline and kept with them together until they all ran down a path of the cliff-side. "Well, now. I don't remember those being around in the future. What the hell was that?"

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi got to her feet after White and Kiral did. She stretched some and yawned, and was rubbing her eyes when Kiral spoke. "What was what now?" She asked as she lowered her hand, having not been tuned in to what was happening around her. Reaching out with her hearing, she "spotted" the wolves running down the cliff-side including the weird looking ones. "Oh wow...that is weird." She said after "seeing" the beasts.

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White looked at the wolves as they passed by looking terrified at the abnormally large wolf with alien facial features, instantly breaking his silence* "What the hell was that?" *He copied Kiral as he said it at the same time* "I'm the spawn of a female dragon and a male wolf and I have never seen something so horrifying as that before, what be that creature? Magical, mythological, or just an abomination? Perhaps that's what werewolves actually look like... I really don't like the chill this sends through my skin." *He turned to Kiral* "I think it's time to go. We should probably avoid dark places and anywhere those wolves can hide."

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral nodded, but his face was far from agreeing, "But there's a small problem with that thought, as good as it is. If these outfits are destroyed, we're found out, or being chased, we would need to go to such places to hide from the danger. I think maybe we just need to get stronger and learn to fight them off. To be honest, I can't stand these outfits, even though it's only been one day."

[White Wolf Guardian]

"Learn? Are you crazy?! What if those things infect one of us with some sort of virus and we get turned into some feral beast like that one that ran by?" *The wolf dragon twitched and looked away from Kiral* "This is a bad idea." "I would much rather go home retaining my appearance, last thing I need is to explain why I have warped into some other strange form to my clients." "Then which way are we going? Or are we waiting for the wolves to find us?"

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Kiral sighed, "Well, let's just keep going on for now. Unless they're extremely bold, I'm pretty sure those wild animals know to stay off the main road." He continued to walk forward, but he held up his right sleeve with his left hand, making it look like both his hands were together, while he slid his right hand into the robe and kept a cautious hand on his weapon's handle, just in case. Kiral didn't want to take the risk of getting killed by feral animals, no matter how weird they were.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

Mahi listened to both Kiral and White as she stood there with them. When Kiral said that they should just keep moving, she nodded and slid her hands into the opposite sleeves to be sure that her gauntlets wouldn't be seen by anyone who may come across their little group. She kept her senses on high alert in case the wolves or any other beasts decided they wanted the group for a meal at some point instead of steering clear of them completely.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

The group went on without too much commotion, but that was short-lived. Kiral could hear growling all around them as the road led them into a forested area. What was worse, it also looked like a group of people were coming towards them from the opposite direction, on the road. Kiral quickly scanned the area with just his eyes and lowered his head as he squat down, making sure no one could see his eyes, but he could maintain his scanning. There were several feral legs of wolves all around them, he could see that much. However, the problem is that Kiral couldn't see more than the legs of the group coming towards their way. Their footsteps were heavy, and they either wore torn shoes or no shoes. "Well, well. Doth mine eyes deceive me, or is there three representatives of the church prowling through our territory?"
