Nicole lazily leaned back into the old oak down by the river.
So it's finally over...
The sound of wings loomed over her as Divinity landed talons cracking the gravel as she landed
She came and sat next to Nicole carefully tucking her sides she sat next to the tree.
Nicole petted her head.
So it seems, for now...
She smelled the air.. someone is coming and fast...
You wont to go say hello?...
...no, it smells like...like... she snorted and shook her head...bird..she said approach fully.
A smile spread across Nicole's face.
...he flying?...
Divinity stretched her long neck
...can't tell...he's to far...he'll be hear in fifteen...
She stud up
...come on lets go say hi...
Divinity shook her head and didn't move.
...oh come on, stop being lazy...
... not..she snorted... theirs something else, about a mile...dog-wolf...
Nicole stud still, focusing her senses. That's when she heard it, paws running and what ever it
was had huge claws, and probably a nasty temper to follow.
The sky began to cloud.
It was getting closer, faster.
Divinity stud up and stretched her wings to their full extent and gave a angry rower.
It's a hell hound!...
What the hell is a hell hound doing hear...their isn't a pack of wolves that inhibit this place
Hell hounds are vicious well-built canines with rusty red fur. Hell hounds have glowing red
eyes which a used to terrify prey there eyes also enable them to see in the dark. Hell hounds stand
about four and a half foot in height. Hell hounds have the ability to breathe fire. They are very
aggressive beasts and are expert hunters.
What is a hell hound doing hear?...their native to Africa though...
...it is alone, that's odd...
Nicole was still the only movement was a harsh blast of wind making the forest take life,
moving violently in one direction.
...It's alone...
...and its after something...
She looked up the sky was now full of clouds.
...Divinity go up into the clouds...hide their until needed...
...you will be fine?...
...yes...now go...
With a heave Divinity took off into the sky.
Nicole grabbed the bow from her holder on her back and loaded it with an arrow from her side.
Looking up she saw a high branch at the vary top of the branch.
She bent her knees and with a heave landed gracefully on the branch after she began
communicating with Divinity her abilities sky rocketed she could easily jump to the tops of trees
and run a mile in two minutes.
Nicole bent down and the bow back aiming for the ground.
Nicole listened, she could now easily hear the four legs of the creature hitting the ground as
it ran and then she heard the sound of wings above by the sounds of it she was gliding.
The sound came ever closer and then the noise stopped.
The forest seemed to stand still, their was no noise or movement.
Nicole pulled back her arrow further weighting for the hell hound appear.
...I see nothing...
...I don't see anything either...
Nicole's eye's darted left and right looking for whatever was approaching.
The wolf appeared the book was right, the wolf had a rusty color to it, but it also had silver
coloring at the end of it's tail and chest.
The wolf stopped smelled the air.
Nicole aimed the bow.
The dog turned looking into the tree and growled, bearing it's long thin teeth.
The wolf suddenly went silent and headed back down stream.
...why did it leave?...
...don't know...follow it..
The sound of wings disappeared as Divinity followed.
Nicole relaxed and put the bow away and sat in the tree listing to the wolf run. The sound of
it's paws seemed to be lighter, not as heavy.
That's when she heard a rustling above her, she looked up words to find a face.
" relaxed already?..."
Nicole darted up words.
And landed next to the male, she gave a grin and held up her hand inches to his face.
" leachor'um imcanda!"
A red glow came from her hand as he was thrown back words out of the tree.
He flipped and landed on his feet.
Vern looked up " not bad" he said with a grin.
Nicole jumped down from the tree "that your hell hound?"
He shrugged
" don't mess with me, I'm really not in the mood Vern"
" don't worry, if we wonted to attack you we would of by now...where's Chelsea?" he said
looking around.
" don't know she went off this morning, hasn't come back yet...Segato?"
...Divinity come down...
The sound of wings filled the sky as Divinity descended.
" why didn't you attack me?...before you would of jumped me in a heart beat, why cover up
your tracks?"
He shrugged " he, decided not to attack, knew you were their and heard your dragon, figured-
he was just being lazy- besides Chelsea said- forget it" his face began to turn red.
Divinity landed and gave a snort
" she still doesn't like me?"
...no shit...
" she's just not used to being around others" Nicole said petting her head.
...be nice...
...I should have a reason...he harbors a hell hound...their nothing but trouble...
She gave a growl and bared her thick long teeth.
Vern backed up.
...so he harbors a hell hound...he's not that bad...he's friends with Chelsea!...
Divinity turned and bared her teeth at Nicole.
...don't you dare...
...I don't like him...
...well gess what were stuck with him...so get over it...
Smoke appeared from her nasals and her teeth were bared.
...stop it...what do you wont me to do kill him?...
...you are weak...you trust to many people...
...what?...
Her eyes were narrowed and were a deeper green
...you are too Weak!...
The sky began to darken. Nicole back up and looked into the sky. Divinity began to growl.
Nicole looked at her surroundings which were now going dark.
Two large Charcaroton appeared from behind (the creatures from the river) there eyes were
glowing red and their teeth were bared.
" what's wrong with them!" vern yelled through the darkness.
They were normally good tempered and didn't bother anything not on their menu to eat.
Nicole tried to contact Divinity telepathically, but somehow she blocked her mind out.
...Divinity!...
Divinity bared her teeth and smacked her teeth against the ground.
The Charcaroton approached giving off loud bursts of hi pitched noises as they neared.
"Divinity stop this!" Nicole yelled as she backed up trying to further herself from them, but feel
near the edge of the water.
The Charcaroton stopped, and Divinity approached.
Everything went silent, the only noise that could be heard was the sound of the soft earth
crunching beneath Divinity's massive talons.
...Divinity what is wrong?...why are you doing this?...
Nothing.
Divinity reared her head and gave a roar.
She lifted her massive claw and pressed it down on Nicole covering her neck .
...Divinity...
...weakness...nothing will come from it...there is no room for it in the world...
...Divinity it's me..."STOP IT!-"
