Occasionally Sean can hear the low moan of one of the steam engines as it slowly rolls through the forest. If he is alone, he longs to be the one pulling the whistle cord, however, once he is with someone, he decides that being in the forest with two gorgeous women was a lot better. Sean walked straight through the camp on the way to watch the trains roll by, and didn't even go near is rifle, it had been almost six months since he and Kali jumped the train into the forest. He trusted the forest now, one of the first potions Tawnee taught him was a translation draught. It somehow altered something in his brain, so he could understand what animals were saying, and he could talk to them. After he took the potion he walked straight away from the camp in search of an animal. Now that he could talk to the creatures in the forest there was no need for the rifle. Or so he hoped.

The first animal he came across was a young lone female wolf, which had run away from the pack. Upon seeing him, the hungry wolf charged him down, just before he leaped at his throat he said, "STOP". The bitch sat on her haunches and slid a few feet and looked at him with a weary eye and responded; "How are you able to speak to me? Humans can't talk" Smirking Sean responded "What am I doing now then? I made a potion that enables me to be able to talk to animals. Why were you going to attack me? I haven't harmed anything." The wolf just sat there stunned. Not getting a response from the wolf he asked what it's name was. "K-K-Kenna" it stammered out. She seemed young to him, and he asked her again. "Why were you going to attack me? I haven't done anything to the forest" She was still very nervous but managed to mumble "I was hungry" Knowing what lack of food can do to an animal he had her follow him to the camp. He also thought that by feeding her, she might become loyal to him and his two female companions. She wasn't hungry after all, she was starving, another day or two, and she would have died from starvation. Her ribs were showing through her dull fur.

It was her hunger that drove her to attack Sean.

After a week of caring for Kenna she began to get better, and her coat became shiny again, and muscle developed under her fur. Just like Sean hoped, she became loyal to the three humans who cared for her. Later that week, Sean got up out of the camp, and told the two girls, and Kenna that he was going to watch trains for the day. Out of boredom they went with him. They walked for an hour, before Sean stopped walking and crawled alone the ground to a bush, beyond that, was the tracks, elevated five feet above the surrounding area by grey ballast. Kali and Tawnee crawled up on both of his sides, both of them lying a little closer than they needed to be, while Kenna sat on her haunches behind them. Quietly they talked while waiting for the sound of a train. Suddenly Sean told them to be quiet.

"I hear one" Sean whispered. Kenna cocked her head and said that she didn't hear anything, and she had a keen sense of hearing. But Sean said that he had worked with them for years, it was coming. A short minute later a steady bark became audible to everybody's ears and it started picking up volume, he told them to be still. It took the steam train almost five minutes to pull it's heavy train up the hill, and it chugged past them at a measly fifteen miles an hour, smoke belching from it's stack as it struggled to get through the forest. Kenna had a paw on his calf muscle, and he could feel it shaking, carefully he turned around and told her to calm down, but she had never seen anything like it before and panicked and ran in the direction of the camp. After the engine passed it took fifteen more minutes for the rest of the train to rumble by. Train after train thundered by, and the three of them sat there almost the entire evening watching them pass.

Before dusk when they starting getting hungry they left the tracks and headed to the camp to make something for dinner. While they were walking Sean turned to Tawnee and asked her if there was a potion that prevented a person from getting sick. "Obviously, there is probably a potion for just about anything you can imagine, you just have to know where to look. If you can't find it, then there is a spell." They entered the campsite and saw Kenna watching them, before she got up and stalked off. She ignored Sean's calls to her and kept walking. Sean turned to the others and with a confused looks asked "What has gotten into her?" Sitting down he watched Tawnee sitting next to the fire cooking a homemade pizza that she conjured up.

As we were finishing up I began to worry about Kenna. I told the other two that I was going to go out looking for her, and I wanted them to stay there. As I was walking to the edge of the clearing, I asked Tawnee if she knew of a fast potion that would permit me to see in the dark. She thought a minute, pulled out her wand and muttered something and suddenly the fire behind her became blinding. Squinting I quickly turned around and asked her how I can take it off. She told me, and I turned on my heel and headed into the forest.

"KEEEENNNNNAAAAAA!" I called for the millionth time. I lost count, my voice was starting to go hoarse from attempting to summon my un-tamed "pet" wolf. I have been searching for her for six or seven hours. The military pants I was wearing turned into shorts a few hours ago, from walking through some tough brush. I was tired, exhausted, I was very worried, I know Kali and Tawnee are worried about me, and it was going to be getting light out soon, which meant that I needed to have Tawnee take the spell off of me. I thought I felt eyes on my back and turned around to see what was behind me. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going and I tripped on a branch that had fallen. Almost instantly I heard the unmistakeable sound of an animal running. I knew I wouldn't be able to get up from my sprawled position on the ground so, I just waited for…the animal…whatever it is, to take a bite out of my ending my life. Instead I heard a whine. Opening my eyes I saw Kenna standing on the log looking down at me.

"Where in the hell have you been Kenna? I have been looking for ages for you." I furiously asked her, barely able to contain my rage. "I am sorry, those steel monsters scared me, I don't know why you would want to be around them. And when you didn't come after me I thought that you wanted me to leave you alone for good. So I sat at the camp and thought about what I should do. When you came into camp, I had already made my decision and I left." Painfully I sat down on the log that I tripped on, and asked her if she knew how to get back to camp. She nodded, and started walking along a path, I got up and followed her, wincing occasionally. By the time we were nearing camp, dawn was rapidly approaching, and it was starting to get difficult to see, and from my knees down were numb. "How much more Kenna? I had Tawnee put a charm on me, and I wont be able to see in a few more minutes." "Don't worry Sean, it is just up ahead, another five kilometers." Ten minutes later the morning light that radiated through the trees was becoming blinding to Sean. He was almost running into camp. Kenna barked and told Sean that they were about 50 feet from the camp. "Tawnee, take the spell off NOW!" He yelled, the light very effectively blinding him, so that he tripped on his way into the camp.

Tawnee and Kali heard a bark, and then Sean yelling at Tawnee to remove the charm. They looked up to see him holding his hands over his eyes, rushing into camp, and stumbled into a rock, and tripped. Tawnee quickly cast the counter-charm, and he sighed in relief. In a moments silence Tawnee sarcastically remarks, "Gee, you really like the ground don't you?"
