Disclaimer: So what happens if i don't put one? Are the disclaimer police gonna come arrest me? huh?

The light brown wolf had reacted quickly to being attacked. She had not sensed her attackers because she was upwind of them, but as soon as she saw them running toward her she knew what to do. She now had a fluffy tan wolf's neck between her teeth. There were three others to the side, but they weren't moving. She was as shocked as they were to find more of their kind, but she wasn't about to let on.

The tan wolf let out a whimper, and she slowly released her grip. Backing away a few steps, she never took her eyes off him. She glanced to the side as the white wolf stepped forward. He, too, was clearly surprised to see her.

"Um... sorry we attacked you..."

"My bad. This your territory?"

"No. Just passing through. We thought you might be something we could eat..."

"Heh. Don't blame ya for that, there's no food at all in these parts. And the fog is so thick, I didn't even see you guys. So, where ya from?"

"We came from Freeze City. My name is Kiba."

"Auro City. I'm Kana."

The small, dark brown wolf spoke up.

"We didn't expect to see another wolf around here! Oh, my name's Toboe."

"I guess you're the wolves everyone's talking about then."

"People talk about us?"

"That's why I left Auro City. I traveled a long way, and thought I might be able to finally settle down in Auro. It was pretty nice for a while, but then everyone started talking about wolves. The people started to look at me funny, and after that I decided to move on."

The white wolf spoke again.

"It's good you left when you did. We almost got killed leaving Freeze City. And now that Jagara's risen to power, she's got a whole army devoted to wolf hunting."

"It's a dangerous world for us..."

"Why didn't you just disguise yourself?" Toboe asked.

She avoided a direct answer. "...I don't mind traveling. So where are you headed?"

"Paradise." Kiba replied.

Kana looked at him for a moment before answering.

"...Do you know where it is?"

Kiba smiled. "I don't think anyone knows for sure. Right now we're trying to find Jagara's Keep. We have to save Cheza..." He looked off into the distance.

Toboe spoke up again. "Cheza's the Flower Maiden. We think she can help us find Paradise..."

"A girl that smells of lunar flowers! I've heard of her..."

Kiba looked at Kana again. "So, you want to find Paradise too?"

"Where else can I go? I'm sick of this world, nothing but wastelands and snow and humans that can't be trusted. I don't know if I can find it, or if it even exists. But if it does, I want to see it for myself."

"You're welcome to join us, if you want. We're going to the same place, so you shouldn't have to travel alone."

"How do you know you can trust me?" Kana smirked at him.

He smiled back. "You're a wolf, not a human!"

They laughed for a moment, then Kana replied.

"I've been alone all my life. It's nice to finally have someone to be with. Thank you... Kiba..."

She smiled as she looked into his golden eyes.
