Story: Moonlite Emblem
Author: Creyhie
Summery: Above Daein on the map there is a country: Cornithia, home to an old breed of Laguz. In this country, a pair of siblings set out to save their country, and the rest of Tellius.
Book One - The Wolf of Night
Chapter Six - Wolf Blood
"HISS!!! Get out of my town!!!" The white cat yowled, slitting the throat of a Sage. She hated not being able to use her wolf abilities to their fullest, trapped in a feline body. The next time her father wanted to protect her life, she'd kindly refuse the request. Rin jumped from soldier to soldier, killing them off, as she made her way to the Inn, and Yuena.
The Paladin smirked. "So you are the white Laguz I was told to keep alive. I was expecting a Heron or a dragon, actually. Now be a good little kitten and get out of my way."
Rin hissed. "I'm no kitten." She dashed around the horse's legs, cutting each behind the knee. The horse fell to the ground, Yuena jumping off. The woman twirled her lance.
"Bold, I will say that. You are bold. But not for long!" Yuena jabbed her lance a Rin. The cat jumped and landed on the lance. Her eyes smirked.
"Best you can do without your horse is this? Daein must really be out of Generals or something." She walked along the lance. Yuena growled and swung her lance. Rin fell off and was hit in the stomach as it came back around.
"Best you can do, pussy cat? I really don't know why the Black Knight wants you alive if you are such a weak kitten." Yuena placed the point of her lance under Rin's chin. The girl changed back, unable to hold her form any longer. "Now die!"
"Elwind!" The woman was swept up in a wind storm and slammed in the ground. Rin whipped around to see figures running toward her. A black haired sage ran passed her with a red haired woman on a horse, a bright green haired sniper and a bishop. A boy with sapphire blue hair ran up to her.
"It is reckless to go charging into Daein's forces, Lady Rinsuki, but I am grateful for it." He pulled out his sword and ran passed her landing an ending blow to Yuena.
"What is this world… coming to? Knights leaving Laguz alive, boys killing older boys…" Yuena spat as she died. All Crimean eyes looked to Rin. She flushed red. Ranulf suddenly tackled her.
"Thank goddess… What where you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed, Rin-kun!" He growled at her, concern in his eyes. The wolf stared him down.
"I was thinking of my father's people—my people. I will not let them get slaughtered or worse. That's what we do out here, we look after each other. That's what the word "pack" means in our culture. I wouldn't expect a kitten like you to understand that." She snarled. The cat felt things rearrange themselves in her body. Rin smirked and howled long and hard. "I am a wolf, Ranulf, not a cat. And not even my father can change that." Her body mimicked what she said. Even her tail was more wolfish than cat-like.
"Oni-chan!" Talka shouted but kept his concern to himself. His sister was in one of her moods again, and not even Daein could take her out of it.
"Rin-san, do you think it is wise to let out your wolf self? Daein is still here." Ike asked her. The wolf shrugged.
"No, but my wolf blood is too strong. It was only a matter of time anyway. You must be Ike-san." She bowed. "Something tells me that I should hate you for bringing Daein here, but my father seems to trust you, so I will also."
Ike raised an eyebrow for a moment then shrugged. "Well, I didn't know that there was an entire country or wolf Laguz here. I was merely looking for a place to camp. I never meant for Daein to follow us."
"In respect, I did get to leave home earlier than I was planning on. I have a few things I must ask you, but they can be done later." She spotted the emerald green haired girl who she knew as Princess Crimea.
"Lady Rin! I'm glad to see you again." She curtsied.
"Elincia-chan, I wasn't expecting you to be here. I heard Ike-san was protecting you, but to think he brought you here." Rin bowed and hugged her. "I'm sorry about your parents. That's almost as bad as losing a mate."
Elincia just smiled. "Traveling with Ike-kun and his mercenaries helps me cop and seeing Ashnard go down will be enough revenge for me."
"El-chan!" Talka ran up and tackled her.
"'El-chan'?" Ike asked. Rin chuckled.
"When he was a cub, he couldn't say 'Elincia' so he started calling her 'El-chan.' Elincia didn't have a problem with it so the name stuck." Soren came over as she spoke.
"Why don't we go back to camp and rest. We all have had a very trying day." The troop nodded and followed the Sage back to camp.
"Where's Ranulf-kun?" Rin asked halfway through the trek.
Sothe replied, "He's probably sulking somewhere. You did wound his ego after all." Rin just nodded. She'd have to apologize later.
---------------------------------------
"Lethe… Lethe I have food." The orange cat yawned and looked up into the eyes of Soren. She took the plate he had and ate.
"Thank you."
"…" Soren only nodded and went to leave the tent.
"Not yet. Stay… please." Lethe flushed red as Soren looked at her. He nodded again and sat with her as she ate. He fumbled with his robes, twisting one edge in his hands. She smirked.
"Nervous?" He looked at her wide-eyed.
"N-no! Why should I be?" The Sage asked, clearly digging himself a hole.
"Well, you are in a tent, alone, with a female cat. In Gallia that is a sign of mating." She seemed to be enjoying annoying Soren. He looked panic-stricken. The Laguz laughed. "Jeez, you can't take a joke, can you?" She went to stand up. Lethe stepped on Soren's robes and slipped, puling the poor Sage down with her. Somehow, Soren ended up on top of Lethe, his mouth on hers. She tasted sweet to him and some how, very familiar. Lethe tasted him, curious to see what a Boerc would taste like.
She was surprised that he didn't taste disgusting or something really bad. In fact, the pair found that they were enjoying the kiss. Soren leapt up in shock.
"Uh, um, sorry." Lethe saw him flush red. He ran from the tent.
"Soren…."
Sorry it is so short!
