nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Draco trodded drearily down the woods. His heart felt as heavy as iron. He had been hunting for Bowen amp; Gilbert, The last position he left those two, Gilbert was making poems amp; Bowen was bragging about something. Draco never liked his hero stories, for they always involved a dragon dieng at some point. He then pushed that aside in his mind. He didn't really feel in tact with reality at the moment. His mate had been missing for over four years amp; his heart had slowly grown colder amp; darker. But the small flicker of hope was still there so he hadn't fully givin up on life.He was suddenly snapped from his thoughts when he heard a distant voice, singing. He crept silently, where the song was emitting from. Finaly the song was as clear as crystal. The song was familiar, it was much like Auras songs about dispair, love, happyness, or nature ,however, The voice belonged to a male. Draco neared but was interuppted by Bowens voice calling him back. He wanted to procied but there was a hint of ergency in his voice so draco took to the air again. He was greeted by Bowen when he arrived. quot;Where ya been? I was looking all over for you.quot; Bowen said looking stern. Draco didn't really react. He just looked to the side amp; sighed.quot;I was hearing someone singing....in the woods.quot; He said with little power in his voice. Bowen shook his head amp; trudged off. quot;I'll get the horse..quot; He said grummbleing. Draco smiled amp; walked to Gilbert.

After a few hours of Draco retraceing his steps amp; general conversation, the song started up again.quot;There it is.....we must be close..quot; Draco whisperd looking wareily at the dark forest.quot;this is witchcraft.quot; Gilbert commented quietly. Draco started off toward the voice, seemingly hypnotized by the music. Bowen was greatly concernd by his behavior amp; had no choice but to fallow. The music became clearer as the neared until they finaly reached a clearing amp; the music ceased. In the clearing was a small ranch with fenceing all around the feild, boardering the forest from the feild. There were over five horses amp; thre cows grazeing on the green, highly nutritiouse looking, grass. Out in the front of the yard was a cute pretty little girl with long black hair. She was either six or seven, judging from her youthful appeirence amp; size. She was so lost in thought that she didn't even notice the three travelers, including the dragon, approach her.quot;Excuse me...quot; Draco said snapping her away from her daydreaming. She blinked amp; looked up with sweet inoccent eyes.quot;Huh?quot; She squeeked.quot;Don't worry he's harmless.quot; Bowen assured to keep her from screaming. quot;Oh.....you want to see sis? Or papa?quot; She said in a voice as soft as clouds amp; cotton.quot;Uh...yeah!quot; Bowen stated bluntly, without really thinking. quot;Dady bye bye. Sis go, don't know where....aunt amp; uncle work in stables.quot; She said not really upbeat but not depressed either.

After speaking with the girls, rather shady aunt amp; uncle, they found something quite facinateing.quot;I don't trust those two....something about them.quot; Draco said once again putting in his two sense. quot;They did seem rather dull.quot; Gilbert commented sideing with Draco. Bowen didn't answer but kept rideing, being sick of doddleing when there was money to be made. Draco fallowed dismally when something caught his eye. He noticed a large very uncempt barn. The wood was old amp; rotted, the paint was chipped all over, amp; the front door was heavily chained. Draco neared it amp; took a very good look at the door. He could smell something from inside.quot;Is anyone in there?quot; He whispered listening. quot;Yeah! WOAH!! A dragon!quot; Exclaimed the voice of a young spirited male, quite loudly.quot;Calm yourself! What are you doing in there?quot; Draco hushed trying to peep through the cracks in the board.quot;That lil brat amp; those two crazy people locked me in here! They ain't right either! what with the stake fires amp; all sorts'o weird shit!quot; The voice whispered, abviousely cautiouse.quot;Stand back amp; i'll release you.quot; Draco boomed sucking in apportion of air, then unleashed it in two orbs of fire, blasting the Barn door to peices. Instead of, what draco exspected to be a young boy, emerging from the black smog, a cat departed from the flames. The cat had swarthy black fur, his complection was of a shaggy alley cat. The cats eyes were dark blue, his body was thin but lean. He would look to be a normal everyday cat, but unlike cats he had facial expressions.

The cat ran out of the smokey hell pit coughing out the black smoke. The small creature continued chokeing amp; hacking out the black ashes, that burned his throat.quot;Thanks....quot; He said in a raspy voice. Draco stood petrafied, never in his dreams did he ever imagine a cat could speak.quot;Ya know you could've just smashed the door down...quot; The cat whisperd between coughs. Draco was speachless.quot;Y-you're....You're a cat!!quot; Bowen exclaimed, having watched the whole thing.quot;Yeah last time I checked...quot; He tried to keep from coughing. Draco closed his eyes amp; shook his head. He recalled Aura telling him about creatures that were more than they seemed, enchanted, in other words. Suddenly thousands of distant, wicked, voices of the small child could be heard. The once sweet peacefull feilds turned dark amp; wreaked with death. The sky blackend amp; the grass turned brown amp; dry. The once proud amp; lean animals turned skinny. Their eyes held a crazed expresion amp; their peacefull natures had vanished.quot;Time to go!quot; The cat shouted as he scamperd into the woods. Draco didn't hesitate in fleeing the wreached place. Bowen amp; Gilbert were frozen with fear as the place shifted into something that could only be described as a black hell.quot;You better move!quot; Bowen exclaimed as him amp; his horse ran down to the forest. Gilbert yelped amp; clumzily rode his donkey into the woods as well. The black land scape curled away amp; returned to its peacefull disgize, waiting to call apone another victum.

When the fled out of the woods Draco landed, still suffering from shock. The knight galloped into the clearing, with Gilbert fallowing behind. The cat soon came dashing from the woods, his dash soon bacame a sort of leap prance. He jumped about yipping amp; whooping with pure delight.quot; I'm free i'm free YAH WHO!!quot; He said springging amp; laughing in glee.quot;Well glad you're happy...if you're ever in the mood to tell us what the hell just happend.....go ahead.quot; Bowen trailed, unable to penatrate the cats playful bounds. The cat soon lost his energy to continue so he calmed amp; walked up to the travelers that saved him.quot;Most sorry! It's just that..you have no idea what it's like there!quot; He said hoarsly.quot;WAs that you I heard singing?quot; Draco interupted. quot;Huh oh yeah! I got bored.quot; The cat said moving about.quot;Oh yeah the name's Felix!quot; He said bowing.quot;Pleasure. My name's Draco. This is Bowen, a knight, amp; Brother gilbert, the monk.quot; Draco replied.quot;You're draco!? Ah wow now isn't this a convenience!quot; Felix exclaimed, boucing back then leaping forward. Draco frowned, confused by his quirky nature.quot;Do you know a young dragon female named Aura!?quot; He asked standing still, lashing his tail about.quot;Aura?!quot; Draco exclaimed, his heart skipping beats.quot;You've seen her?! She's alive?!quot; Draco asked excitedly.quot;Probably, it's ben a few years since the witch sold her...quot; Felix replied meekly.quot;Witch!?quot; Gilbert gasped. Felix sighed,quot;This is gunna take awhile...quot;

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;After that Felix explained everything from day one. He was once just an ordinary kitten. He lived happily with his mother amp; twelve brothers amp; sisters. He rememberd the warmth amp; softness of the silky fur all around him. The complete carefree of youth, games of hide amp; go seek, amp; even the simple joy of batting a small peice of string, or mothers tail. But one sad day it ended. Felix was only four months old when it happend but he rememberd the event well...

THe village was up in flames! People were running everywhere screaming. Felix was frantic, he couldn't find his mom or any of his sisters or brothers anywhere. He cried out again amp; again but his small voice was smotherd by the screaming amp; roars of the flames. Umong the chaos he cried for his mother almost getting trampled on by horses amp; people. Night soon fell amp; the chaos was still active.His home was burnt to ashes amp; bodies lay all over. No matter how much the little kitten cried, no one came. Soon rain fell amp; put out the flames, soaking the small cat to the bone. Cold, felix immiediatly seeked out shelter. His only sheild was a metal helm. He squeezed under the helm shivering amp; shakeing from the cold, he curled up trying to stay warm amp; fell asleep.

After the life changing inncident Felix was discoverd by a merchant. He was taken on the cart where Felix got a free ride around the land. He was often curled next to the merchant who'd sing strange songs of love, magic, dispair, greed, amp; heroics. Felix learned alot from him. But once again the peace was disturbed. The pld merchant one day came across a fair madien, with long black hair. pale white skin, rose red lips amp; jade black eyes. She showed great intrest in Felix amp; offerd a rediculouse amount of money for him. The merchant more than reluctant gave up the cat. What happend next was both boreing amp; tormenting.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;Felix was brought to a small farm, it was dull amp; dead, the trees around it were bare amp; grey. The grass was brown, the earth dry, the horses amp; cows were deranged. The witch tossed Felix into 'an old creeky raggidy ass shack', as Felix discribed. The thing was obviously enchanted, for he never got hungry tired or thirsty. Now becuase he was never tired he had nothing to do. He spent hours thinking. As the years passed Felix begane to teach himself the humen language. As the years went he often saw the witch preform crazed amp; brutal rituals. The one thing he did have to look forward to were the occasional visits of other animals tossed in the shack. He rememberd a particular one about four years ago. She was a young female dragon named Aura. Felix had a fun time with her. They talked about manythings amp; even tought each other a few tricks amp; songs. Aura mostly talked about her mate named Draco. She spoke of how well he took care of her , how strong amp; brave he was. She also told him how she was kidnapped. She said she had been waiting patiently for Draco to return when she was surounded by a group of hunters. They binded her in ropes amp; somehow loaded her onto a large cart. She was sold to the witch amp; ended up with him in the shack. But after only one year with his new freind she to was taken away. As far as Felix could recall she was sold to some strange men in black cloaks. The last Felix heard from the witch was something about them heading west, to as the witch described itquot; a gorgeouse burning deathland of sandquot; but that was all.

nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;As Felix finished his story he sat down amp; lowerd his head drowzily.quot;I see....quot; Draco said, depressed.quot;You tired?quot; Gilbert asked.quot;Yeah...quot;, Felix yawned.quot;Well i'm not suprised you ate the whole chicken.quot; Bowen scolded. Felix grinned amp; snickerd sheepishly. He yawned amp; curled up, falling asleep. Draco smiled warmly at the sleeping fuzz ball, the abnormaly quirky hyper cat seemed to bring the life out of everything. His constant pep almost made him forget the heart ach he felt. Though he had many new freinds supporting him, the black void was still ever present. Knowing there was a slight chance she lived gave him a wake up call. But the pain still wrenched his heart. He wished anything for her to be alive amp; happy.

The next morning, Draco amp; co. got off to an early start. They traveld for half of the day crossing rivers, climbing cliffs, amp; trodding across open medows. By midday they reached a small village, Draco did his rutine amp; afterwards Felix bought a small guitar(Bango) from a poor family amp; payed more than what they asked, without bowens knowlege of course. They spent the rest of the day traveling westward amp; when sunset hit Felix started to sing with his guitar. The song was short amp; simple, yet with the guitar, he sounded like one of the most beautiful male singers out there. Draco listend closely, as the others kept silent, thinking of aura as they strode into the sunset. Once for a split second, he felt warm again, it was different but it was the warmth that counted.
