Newt's POV

Even at his young age he knew he was different from other children. His body temperature sense was off when it came to people. Nobody but Theseus felt warm to him.

Everytime his parents would reach for him he would flinch away. Their coldness was the strongest he felt even with new people. It scared him because he didn't know why they felt that way.

He didn't know when it started but his father began striking him. The flinches became more apparent. The coldness no longer the reason. He was afraid of being hit.

One day his father took it too far. Theseus had just left for school and Newt was practically mute. He would barely make any sounds for fear of being hit.

Newt had been beaten so badly he couldn't move. His magic sensing his panic at the sounds of his father's return sent him away. To try and save his life it changed him into his animagus form.

Newt who had been studying the magical creatures knew that he was a niji. They were small creatures that tended to be short, round and plump. They usually had straight horns and small wings on their backs.

His form was long and skinny. His horns had a slight curve to them. The body ached from his injuries and his magic was desperately trying to save him.

The place he was brought to was warm in ways he had never felt before. A gentle breeze ruffled his fur and magic of the land entertwined with his. With the help of the land's magic his wounds healed.

A pack of nijis had been nearby and to his surprise they were warm. It was the most warmth he had felt in his life. Humans were never as warm as the nijis. Even Theseus couldn't compare. With them he felt safe.

The niji helped him heal and encouraged him to learn the ways of the forest. Their forest spanned several miles but they kept to the inner parts. Niji were small creatures and beyond being able to fly and hide they didn't have any natural defenses.

Newt's magic would protect him from the other creatures of the forest but being different meant he drew more attention. The other nijis began to slowly drift away from him one by one. The only one staying was a small niji.

It was the smallest of them all and never seemed to grow. Its heart was the bigger of them all. When the others left him behind because of the attention he drew this little one stayed.

Together they would travel through the forest avoiding the wolves that wanted to eat them. Berries were their food sources.

The forest swiftly became a home for the young human child turned niji. He slowly began to heal mentally from the fear and pain he had suffered. Here it was eat and run to survive. There wasn't scary humans to be afraid of. Until there was.

Newt and the young niji were picking berries again by the lake. Both of their heads shot up when they heard the sound of footsteps. It was much too large to be any of the creatures that inhabited the forest.

Newt sat up on his back legs looking over the bush they were gathering from. A new feeling of warmth washed over him.

A blue haired man in a white button down shirt and black slacks. The warmth followed him as he gingerly moved around the bushes. Almost as if he cared if he stepped on something. Newt didn't believe it. Humans didn't care what they hurt. He was living proof of it.

Nijis were coming out of their hiding places. They were curious about the intruder. Even his only friend went to see the man.

Karoku's POV

Having left with his mastery from his apprenticeship with Flamel he went to the Rainbow forest. Freshly named a master he wanted to travel the world. His apprenticeship only lasted three years but he still wanted to see more things.

The Rainbow forest was said to have many different kinds of creatures. Some said that the creatures had empath like abilities. He wanted to observe them.

Carefully the young man stepped around the bushes. Little creatures moved around his feet. They made excited squeaks as he carefully came into a clearing.

When he stepped out he realized how perfect it was. A rainbow was over the head of the trees on the other side of the clearing. The bright blue sky showed only a handful of clouds. This was somewhere he could live if he wanted to.

Karoku smiled gently as small rabbit like creatures came out of the bushes. They were pink in color with small straight horns. They were plump little creatures that had small wings on their backs. He wondered slightly if they were able to fly.

Then he glanced at the berry bush by the otherside edge. There was another niji watching him not in curiosity like the others but in suspicion. It was a white in color instead of the pink that the others were. The niji was tall and lean other tdd than short and plump. It had bright blue eyes while the others had red eyes.

Karoku sat in the grass as the niji scattered unsure of his intentions. Then slowly they returned more curious than ever. The smallest pushed through the pack of nijis and climbed up his pant leg.

It struggled for a long moment before Karoku took pity on the little one. He cupped his hand around the little niji and picked him up. The tiny wings beat almost lifting the little one off his hands. Then after a moment it settled.

Its red eyes held curiosity in them. They were warm and welcoming. The eyes weren't the only thing warm about the little niji. His body was far warmer than he expected. It was like a small fire in his hands.

Karoku said running a finger through its fur, "You're so warm little one. What is your secret?"

It gave a little chirp that was slightly deeper than the others. He realized that this little niji must be male. It rubbed its little head into the palm of his hand.

When he looked up he noticed the thinner niji was watching him from the clearing edge. It was obvious that it didn't trust him. Why it didn't run away he didnt understand.

Until the little one began to squirm in his hands. The little one left his hands and Karoku let him. It ran over to the lean one and chirped at it. The lean one shook its head before going into the forest. His little friend looked back at Karoku forlornly before following.
