Chapter 1:

It's been a few month since the herd arrived at Hyrax Island, together with their newest member, Shira. The female Sabre grew close to everyone in the herd, especially Diego. Both of them enjoyed the companion of another Sabre in their group of herbivores. They spend a lot of time alone, they laughed together, they hunted in the near forest, they races against each other and made play-fights to test their fighting skills.
The whole time was pure joy for them, especially for Diego. He spend as much time as possible with his Siren, he laughed, smiled and enjoyed his life to the fullest.
But it wasn't enough, he wanted more. He wanted to be more than good friends with Shira, he wanted to be her boyfriend. No more, he wanted to marry her, to be her lovin' husband and mate. To settle down and raise a family with her, she was his siren. The person he dreamed of every time he felt asleep, the person he thought to be the funniest, loveliest and prettiest sabre he's ever seen his entire life.

"Hey Softie, you're comin' or not?"
Shira asked one morning as she went out into forest, to hunt to together with Diego like hundred times before. She snapped Diego out of his daze who was just staring in the distance.
"What's going on with him, he seems to be so distracted these days. I guess something's bothering him" she thought.
"Or he just had a terrible sleep, could be possible with Sid snoring all the time" She smirked and made her way into the forest.
Diego finally got back onto his paws and followed Shira into the forest, still worried about all the things that rushed thought his mind for the past few weeks.
"What would she say, does she love me or does she just see me as good friend of hers. Would she agree to be my married wife or even my mate?" This thoughts were killing Diego, he didn't knew what do to, he was to afraid to ask Shira, but also he wanted to be more with her than good friends.

He kept staring at her while they walked silently through the woods, he focused on every attribute of her gorgeous figure, the black stripes that run over her beautiful silver-coated body, the muscles who you could see clearly whenever she made a step forward and the two earrings in her right ear who created a reflection in the light of the early morning sun.
"She is the most beautiful sabre I've ever seen, I want to spend the rest of my life with her, I want her to be my siren, I want her to be the silver moon that shines bright in my life, even in the darkest of nights." his mind trailed of as he and Shira went further into the forest who was their hunting area.

He snapped out of his thoughts when Shira started to sniff the air in the attempt to find the scent of a potential meal for both of them. After a while she started to get into a crawling position and moved deeper into the woods.
"She must've found something." he thought and followed close behind her. After a moment they saw what Shira had detected though her fine sense of smell. A lone deer stood in the grassy field before them completely alone and unaware of their presence.
They readied themselves and sneaked near the deer, when they got close enough both of them got into pouncing position and jumped out of the bush, they were hiding in.
The deer started to run for his life, but his death was inevitable. A couple of seconds later, he laid dead on the field, his neck snapped thought a heavy bit from Diego's Jaws.
They satisfied their hunger and buried the deer's guts and bones in a little hole, which they dug into the ground.
After her successful hunt they wash the blood of their fur and headed home to the herds clearing. Little did Diego know that Shira had coughed him early, when he was staring at her while they headed thought the woods.

"First he stares at the distance for a long time after he got up in the morning and then he kept staring at me while we headed thought the woods. Something is really bothering him, I'm sure of it and it happens to be that I'm a part of it. I need to talk to him, when we're back at the clearing."
