Italics: Thoughts

Chapter 1

Awakening to a new world...

She awoke to the sound of whimpering and her own groan of pain. She kept her eyes closed and opened up her senses, taking in her surrounding. It was warm and humid. Tropical, She thought in the back of her mind. She took in a breath and coughed hard. Not much oxygen, She thought to herself. She took in another breath and this time held it, letting her lungs and body adjust to the new air so she could breath it. While her body acclimatised to the air she felt around herself, her fingers digging into the leaf litter and soil. Rich moist soil. Definitely a rainforest of some kind, She thought.

The sound of whimpering caught her ear again and she grunted as she opened her eyes. The light was bright and painful to her, making her wonder just how long she had been out. She blinked a few times and let her eyes adjust before she smiled softly to herself as she took in the world around her. Giant trees she didn't recognized surrounding her, beautiful and old. Nat girl.... I don't think your any where near the home stead....., She thought as she lay looking up at the trees. She would have stayed there just taking to the beauty of the forest around her if not for the whimpering she heard. She closed her eyes for a second, steeling her will as she moved to get up and stand. Her body protested the movement with pain and the sound of things popping and cracking. She grunted in pain as she checked that nothing was broken and everything still worked. When she was sure her body was not to damaged she looked around for the source of the whimpering sound. She couldn't see anything until another whimper came to her and she saw something move near the roots of one of the trees she had been laying by. She moved closer, her senses stretched outwards, checking for danger as she went.

She finally reached the roots and tilted her head at the sight in front of her. It was a small black, and to her mind, Wolf-like creature. It was fur less and had Obsidian coloured skin. It had six well muscled legs instead of four, that ended in almost human like hands. It looked at her and snarled, showing off sharp, Obsidian coloured teeth. It's eyes were a yellowy-green colour and pupil less. The strangest thing though to her, were the two tentacle like appendages coming from the base of it's skull. The creature tried to move and whimpered in pain again. She moved and knelled down near it, whispering words of calm. The creature growls in response and snapped it's jaws at her. She stayed where she was and looked the creature over. She immediately saw what was wrong. One of the creatures middle legs was wounded with a good inch and a half gash straight down it. It didn't look to deep but it did look infected.

Turning her head to the creature she caught it's eyes with her own Silver ones. She held it's gaze as she opened her mind slowly, sending out a tendril of thought to the creature. When she saw no defences in it's mind she wrapped thoughts of calm around the creatures pain and panic filled mind. While she kept the animal calm with her mind she removed her jacket. Shrugging out of it she sighed in relief as her wings spread out wide, their silver feathers catching the sun light. Rolling her shoulders and flapping her wings gently to ease the cramp she had she tilted one wing towards her, pulling a feather from it.

Keeping the creature calm with one part of her mind, she cupped her hands with the feather in them and looking within herself, she called fire to her hands, burning the feather to nothing but ashes. She smiled to herself and, still keeping the animal calm, began to rub the ash into the leg wound.

She watched for a moment to make sure the ash did it's work before she checked the creature out for any other wounds or injuries. Finding nothing else round she sat back on her heels. She looked into the creatures eyes again and sighed. "Ok Little One. Lets find out what happened to you....", She spoke to it quietly. Using the link she had already made with it she gently sifted through it's recent memories. She found that this creature used images and feelings more then actual words to convey it's thoughts. She found panic, fire, pain and almost a sense of loss. It seemed something as had happened to this animals pack and it was now alone. No, She thought, Not it.... She. This is a young Female.

She stroked a hand down the creatures flank softly and felt pity stir in her heart. Coming to a decision she got up, made her jacket in to a sling and gently put the creature into it. She gently used her link with it to nudge it into a light sleep, hoping it would help the wound heal faster and also help the creature it's self.

In the canopy above Golden eyes watched the strange Sky person below. An arrow was notched, ready to be loosed at a moments notice. Until the eyes watched the Sky person take off it's strange cloak and reveal wings. The owner of the Golden eyes watched as a Seed from the Tree of Souls landed lightly on one of the wings, floating down it before the winds carried it off again. The Sky person never noticed it as it cared for the wounded Nantang. The Golden eyes widened as it saw fire come from no where in the Sky persons hands. The Golden eyes watched as the Sky person made a sling from it's cloak and then carried the Nantang deeper into the forest. The owner of those eyes put it's arrow away and put it's bow over its shoulder before moving back into the trees and towards home. It had to tell his Eyktan and Tsahik that there was something new and strange on Pandora....

So what do you think? Please R&R. I will write the next chapter once I get at least five Reveiws ^_^
