"The creature from the dark"
Deep in the topsy turvey land lives peaceful creatures called Fea, they're much like the pixies
of this world, just a bit more ridged in shape
Here in this world things like color, sound, size all of these are distorted and mixed together, there are no laws of
pshysics. It's quite a nice place, lush and full of life.

The winds whirrr the tree's shake, rocks tip and tumble as a dark void opens up and drops a very small creature before vanaishing as fast as it
came.
The creature awakens; opening its small eyes scanning it's surroundings.
It's claws are like nothing you've ever seen before, they're glowing but when you look at them it's like looking into a deep purple space
and when it moves the claws texture seems to be moving across the space, as if the claws are nothing but windows into a void. Certainly something not of this world.
The baby staggers up on it's feet flexing it's spike racks, unraveling it's wings as it flutters getting used to it's body.
Little does the creature there's something rustling in the bushes.
Something that dominates these woods, and it's not too happy to see someone else here.
He stalks the baby, jumping from bush to bush as the voidling flutters around his area.
Sharpening his blades the hunter poises to strike.
"This will be no challenge" the hunter mutters to himself.
The baby voidlings antenna's perk up and start vibrating at extreme speeds sending out the a buzzing noise, the baby senses danger
and reacts, going into defensive formation holding it's claws close to its sides protecting it's vital organs as it prepares for an attack.
The hunter strikes.
the giant lion leaps from his bush blade high in the air.
The baby screeches as it flutters away to evade the attack, leaving the hunter to dig his blades into the rough soil missing the baby entirely.
regaining it's footing the baby voilding tries to calm his nerves, expanding his body as big as he can in attempt to scare of the beast
The hunter smiles as he digs his blades out of the soil and walks towards the voidling.
The voidling stands still in attack stance ready to strike, but afraid and alone, he doesnt have the heart to attack. He watches the beast
get closer and closer to him.
The baby voidling looks up at his attacker with worried eyes.
The hunter raises his curved knife into the air, savoring the moment before the kill, the final seconds of this creatures life,
death is swift and a beautiful thing to see to him.
The moment has come, the creatures life will be forced out of him.
The hunter grips the handle of his blade as he swifty swings it towards the creatures back.
The hunter grunts softly, he hears the sound of his blade dig into the gravel and soil.
He sees the baby voidling in the corner of his eye, shifting in and out of this world, as if it was trying to go back to his home but
not quite strong enough to break through.
The baby is invisible for the few moments he shifts into the void.
The hunter swings his knife all around hoping to hit the voidling.
The voidling soon realizes he cannot be seen when he cuts into the first layer of his world, he uses this to his advantage. The baby voidling
cloaks himself with this tactic; stalking the hunter.
His wings tingle, his predatory instincts run wild his urge to kill is powerful.
He leaps out of stealth and gashes the hunters eye with his claws.
The hunter is staggering back holding his hand over his torn apart eye.
The voidling has the urge to kill the beast, but he doesnt want to, he wants to perserve life against everything his instints tell him.
The hunter quickly gets back up and charges towards the baby, more determined than ever to kill him
The baby voidling flexes it's spikes, dipped in nerotoxins, the spikes are ridged and sharp, he launches his spikes towards the charging lion.
The spikes pierce through the Hunters chest, instantly paralyzing him as he falls backwards onto the ground completely helpless.
The baby voidling is terrified in what he just did, he scatters deeper into the forest leaving the hunter there to bathe in his failure, paralyzed.
The voidling is running through the forest, trying to find safe shelter before he hears a squeeky yet soft sounding voice coming from behind the bushes.
"ABRACADABRA-IFY"
"Glimmer glammer!"
"ugh, Pix this isn't working how I want it to!"
the baby voidling moves in, poking its head through the bushes to see a little purple yordle practicing magic tricks on woodland creatures
with a Fae by her side.
The voidling slowly inches closer interested in seeing her up close.
The Fae taps her shoulder and points over at the baby voidling.
The Yordle bites her lip trying not to squeel out of happiness at seeing such a cute little new creature.
She slowly inches closer to the voidling, trying hard to not startle it.
"Come here, baby. I won't hurt you I swear" she softly says.
The voidling finds peace and comfort in her soft voice as he moves closer to her, trying to find some comfort in this scary and dangerous
forest.
"Hello, I'm Lulu." She smiles as she picks him up and holds him in her arms
the baby voidling nuzzles its head against her soft shirt making strange gruffling noises.
"Now what should we call you? " Lulu pounders. "Claws.. birds have claws .. I think. Your first name will be kha, and your last name will be zix, because i said so!" Lulu says with a giggle
hearing a rustle in the brush Khazix's antennas perk up and start vibrating trying to warn lulu of danger.
'Something seems to be troubling you, what is it?' lulu softly lets out trying her best to hold the baby with love and care
Lulu's comforting proves to be unsuccessful as the voilding hears the rustles get louder and louder. The baby escapes from her arms and starts running alongside the pond and around the bend.
'H-hey! come back here, I'm sorry!" Lulu scurries after the baby
The voidling runs and runs along the edge of the pond trying to find where it ends, trying to find shelter but to no success.
Scared and confused, Khazix just flops over
'There you are' her sweet voice fills the air
Lulu lays down next to kha, face to face she starts to gently brush her index finger across the babies cheek.
'Did I do something to upset you?'
Khazix just looks at Lulu and whimpers, trying to communicate.
'hm.. I don't know what you are but if you can understand me tap my arm once with your claws'
The baby taps is razor sharp claws against her wrist
'Good.. good' Lulu replies
'Did I upset you? One tap for yes two taps for no'
Kha taps twice
'Are you in danger-' Before lulu could finish the baby taps her arm over and over again in a panic
'Hm.. I see' Lulu stands up and gathers the baby in her arms. 'I'm guessing you wont be safe in plain sight, so do you mind hiding in my messenger bag?'
Kha taps twice
'Good,' lulu softly sighs as she gently puts khazix in her light pink shoulder bag.
