The little shadow shook it's self as it came out note held tight in it's mouth looking around wary of humans huddling under a bench. A soft coo make it jump and shriek in fright before glaring at the other equally startled looking shadow creature. This other one was one of the few who where allowed to remain in the mortal world full time, looking at the name tag the little shadow nodded happy to have found Kaze and dropped the note in front of her relaying the message and vanishing back to the shadows.
Obediently Kaze picked up the note in her jaws and trotted over to a small blonde girl with glittering emerald green eyes who was keeping a careful eye on a ginger bouncy ball of energy who was whooping in delight as she spun on the roundabout. taking the note she read it and frowned a little at the message looking at the other girl knowing she was going to be upset. Sighing she waved and the blue eyed ginger blinked jumping off the play thing (the blonde girl wincing at the thought of her landing awkwardly and hurting herself) bouncing up to her.
"Hey Leah what's that?" Leah-the blonde girl- sighed and motioned for the others hand using her finger to write symbols on her hand. "Oh...R-really?" She sniffled a little looking down "...But he promised to sing a lullaby..." Leah frowned and pulled the younger girl into a hug glad that no one was around at this late hour to see them, before taking the girls hand and leading her away. She knew the other wasn't in the mood for game's anymore, she only hoped that the other came back soon to cheer her up.

The Wolf frowned looking from the map to the area in front of him "...How long has there been mining here?" He wondered out loud confused at the tracks and mining equipment all over the place "...I mean come on I know the maps probably old but still..." He frowned picking up a pickaxe "Weird...Brand new and barely looks used..." He sighed pulling up the map again picking his way threw the rocks and abandoned tools. he paused at one of the machines putting his hand on it "Still warm...So where the fuck is everyone?" He sighed shaking his head smirking at the dark interior of the cave,
"Thank you night vision." He chuckled his silvery eye's going pitch black the cave for him seeming to light up so he could see it perfectly one of his faithful shadow creatures trotting at his side. He frowned at the sight of weapon marks, a few scattered bones and...Claw marks? He shook his head seeing piled mound of earth that looked weirdly gouged out of the ground, several burn marks and patches of ice. "What the fuck happened in here?"
Man and Shadow froze at the growl that answered him.
"...Was that your stomach?" The shadow rolled it's eyes whimpering as a pair of toxic glaring green eye's opened in the rocks, the stones shifting and moving claws scraping the ground drool dripping from it's fangs. "...That's a dragon isn't it?" The shadow nodded "...It's pissed off and hungry isn't it?" again it nodded.
"...I'm out of here!" The dragon roared the cave trembling with the force shadows raising up and pulling the Rabid Wolf away just in time to save him from the beasts charge and snapping jaws. the brown and green dragon shrieked in outrage tail lashing out around it. No! first he had failed in his duty and now when a human came to laugh at it him it vanished. The dragon growled lowly lining back down a paw covering his eyes feeling ashamed hoping the others where having better luck.

"Cold, Cold Cold!" The shadow creature gave Wolf a unimpressed look "...It's fucking freezing!" the shadow rolled it's eyes, having no body or a body temperature it couldn't really comment, but still his master seemed to be making a big fuss over nothing as they trudged threw the snow "The kids are probably getting worried sick..." He winced aware he'd given them a note saying he would either be later then normal or turn up in the morning, but guilt still gnawed at him.
"...Get this done quick as I can and go home...stop off at a store and get some sweets for them...maybe new DVDs to watch..." he mused thinking on how to make it up to them as they came up to a jagged building that seemed to be a temple or palace made of ice "...Ok this place is cool." he smirked a little seeing the skeletons ensnared in the ice "My kinda decor..." the pair looked around the Wolf frowning kneeling in the snow "Foot prints...Human sized..." he thought back to the shop.
"...The people who attacked and took the map, they must have been here!" The shadow snarled in anger at the thought of the criminals that destroyed a family's livelihood getting these 'Golden Weapon' things. "...Heh Let's hope that one of these sculptures is them!" Wolf laughed kicking a small chunk of ice that hit a snow bank. the snow trembled.
"...Oh fuck no..." the snow fell away from the tall elegant looking dragon it's scales a pure white with delicate blue and silver markings. it would have been beautiful, if not for the vicious snarl and murderous look in the beasts eyes. It threw it's head back and roared before snapping forward a beam of pure ice and cold aimed right for Wolf. If not for his quick reflexes at shadow traveling away in a second he'd have joined the other ornaments in the dragons lair. The dragon hissed testily crushing one of his sculptures under his claws angry that his home, his sanctuary had been breached twice in the same day! With a grumbled he slivered back into the snow willing it to cover him. He really needed a nap after this stressful day privetly hoping one of the others had killed the arrogant little humans.

Wolf yelped eyes stinging cursing up a storm his shadow creature staring at him "I fucking hate lightning!" He winced blinking blurry, the area had been dark so he was using his night vision but the lightning flashing everywhere hurt his eyes greatly. He sighed blinking and reluctantly taking off the night vision "Your gonna have to be my eyes." the Creature grumbled looking up at the strange building Wolf sighing.
"...Ok go up and I'll shadow travel to you." the Shadow grunted and loped ahead climbing up Wolf waiting for a mental cue from the creature sighing and shadow traveling up to it when it broadcasted back where it was on top of the nun chuck like building.
The glaring yellow eyes and drooling mouth that belonged to the royal blue and yellow dragon who's body crackled with electricity that greeted him made him wish he hadn't.
"Hehehehe...Nice dragon?" It roared and snapped at him Wolf just dodging out the way "I'M OUT!" He shadow traveled away narrowly avoiding a bolt of lightning the dragon huffing and sniffing settling back down. He was still angry at the humans that intruded on his home and took the weapon he'd been guarding, but the target practice with the new human cheered him up a bit and he was fairly sure that one of the others would kill the thief's anyway.

"Why didn't you warn me about the dragon!?" The shadow creature huffed as they walked up to the last place on the map, it wasn't it's fault it'd been taken by surprise just like he had! With a weary sigh Wolf opened the door to the last temple warily eying the lava.
"Ya I'm not falling for it a third time." The Shadow creature growled a little "...The lightning dragon was you fault!" It sniffled Wolf sighing and frowning the area showing signs of a fight and sensing...Something. He lightly touched a shadow and jerked away shuddering in disgust. Something was...Very wrong. some force had forced his element into action twisted and corrupted it into doing their bidding.
That left a dirty tasty in his mouth knowing his element and the innocent beings that resided in it had been hurt like that. Swallowing his disgust he drew the pained shadows out and gently petted them to soothe and try and remove the taint of the others control from the poor things. The Shadow creatures cooed softly and nuzzled him slinking back when he was done. With a sigh he got up.
"Well no 'Sword of Flames' and no dragon. Let's go." He froze a hot jet of air ruffling his hair from behind "...Fuck I need to keep my mouth shut." He winced trembling a little turning to see the beast...
