Hello everybody, Tigre is in again with yet another chapter to this story! Sorry it took me so long to get this chapter up, but in the time I took to get this chapter up, I started & finished watching the anime "Future Diary," & discovered I was a furry. Yes, I am a furry, I draw furries, wish to own a fursuit one day, & love the idea. If any of you readers don't know what a furry is, go on You Tube & look up a video explaining what a furry is, don't look up pictures of furries on google images though, some are VERY adult. Anyways, Stuff I own: Plot & OCs; Stuff I DON'T own: Any characters that aren't OCs & the places these characters live in. So with that out of the way, I have a few questions I ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE the answers to at the end of the chapter! Besides that, enjoy!
Jak P.O.V.
"Precursors, I was starving," I say while leaning back in my seat in the Naughty Ottsel after finishing my meal. "Same here, man. I can't believe Torn only let us have an apple for lunch while we were talking to him" Daxter says with a burp, also sitting back with his head tipped back so all I could see of his face was the bottom of his yellow muzzle. Tess walks over, taking away the plates, kissing Daxter on the forehead as she goes. "Delicious, babe. Want help?" Daxter asks, lifting his head from its resting place. "Thanks. I got it," she says, hopping down to the floor. "Ready to go & meet Meldalvyna?" I ask, also sitting up.
"Yeah, as long as you are Jak. Be back in a bit babe! Going to go see the dragon lady with Jak!" Daxter shouts to Tess, jumping on my shoulder as I stand up. "Okay, don't take too long with Meldalvyna! Love you," she shouts back, already in the kitchen washing the dirty dishes. "Love you too," Daxter yells as I walk out the door. I get on my zoomer & rev the engine, then shoot off towards the Haven City Mountain Pass lock. Once there, I shut down, lock, & leap off my zoomer all in less than a second & half jog over to the lock's code pad. "Jeez, Jak, you seem like you can't wait to see Meldalvyna," Daxter smiles with a teasing tone.
"If I don't hurry, then I'll be late," I retort while typing in the five number code. "Sure," Daxter says with a small smile, drawing the word out sarcastically. I look up at him with a slightly irritated glance, & then begin to walk through the now open door into the forest. I speed walk down the now familiar path to where I first met up with Meldalvyna, trying to think of a way to great her. "Why don't you wait until you actually get there, your frantic thoughts are irritating the HELL out of me," Dark groans in the back of my head, his sigh bouncing around my skull. "He doesn't wish to accidentally insult her or seem like a, how do you say, idiot," Light retorts to Dark.
"What he said," I say telepathically to them, all the while conscious of how close I was getting to the place I promised to meet Meldalvyna. When Dark or Light don't reply, I continue to sort through different ways to great her, tossing away all of them that come to mind. As I pass the all too familiar final bend, I give up & decide to go with Dark's advice. Walking down the path, I catch sight of Meldalvyna resting up in the branch where I had first saw her, & feel a smile immediately tug at my lips. Probably hearing my footsteps, she looks up, smiling when I stand just a few feet away from the branch. She then hops down from her branch on all fours then stands up on her hind legs.
I can't help but do a quick sweep over her midnight & blood colored body. She had on her usual steel bra & chain mail skirt, her rather feminine cleavage seeming to barely fit inside her top, complemented by her muscular arms, muscular stomach, & long neck. Her tail curved elegantly a few inches above the ground, her blue & red hair flowed in waves until it disappeared behind her back, & her wings closed in two massive folds on either side of her body behind her back. The steel choker necklace along with all her other metal & her horns shone brightly in the sparse pockets of sunlight that fell upon her form. Her green eyes sparkled like a dark emerald dotted in bright green eco, her pupils round unlike they were the last time I saw them when the metalheads attacked the three of us. Once I took this all in under a second, I refocused on Meldalvyna's face.
"Hi Jak," she says, her mellifluous voice flowing out of her mouth smoothly. "Hey Meldalvyna, what's up?" I ask, nervously shifting from side to side, hoping it wasn't noticeable. "Nothing much, you?" she replies, her facial expression changing from shy & nervous to curious. "Why did her expression change like that? Do I have something on my face?" I think nervously to myself. I shake my head no, making sure to keep a straight face while shrugging my shoulders. "Hey! What about me!" Daxter says annoyed that he got left out of the conversation thus far.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't catch your name yesterday," Meldalvyna says, a small look of shock that Daxter spoke. "Well, my name's Daxter. But you can call me... Orange Lightning," he replies, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively while smiling jokingly. "Hello, then, Daxter," Meldalvyna gently smiles, her sharp teeth now seemingly harmless. "So, what do you want to do?" I offer, trying to get my nerves to settle to how they were the last time I spoke to Meldalvyna. "Uh, I don't know," she replies with a thoughtful expression. She sat down on the ground, her scaled brows creased in thought.
I sit down beside her, waiting for a reply. "I don't know," she restates, having given up trying to find an activity. "Okay then, why don't we walk & talk," I reply, thinking that if maybe I walk with her instead of getting stared at by her & Daxter that my nerves will calm down a little. "Are you afraid of me?" Meldalvyna suddenly blurts, a sad tone to her voice. "No, why would think that I'm afraid of you?" I ask, taken back by her sudden sulleness. "Well, your nervous, I can tell," she says looking up at me, a melancholy look in her eyes.
"Oh, I'm not nervous because I'm afraid, hell, I don't even know why I'm so nervous," I reply, slightly curious at how she could tell I was nervous. Was I that obvious? "Okay, sorry about that, it's just last night I thought I had scared you & Daxter," she said, her voice a bit more relieved. "Chick, sure it was a bit scary at first, but it was cool as hell at the same time! You are an awesome fighter, better than Jak maybe even!" Daxter says cheerily bouncing onto Meldalvyna's knees, also trying to lighten the heavy mood. Smiling she stands up, offering a hand to me to pull me up. I take her hand & stand up also smiling.
"Alright then, I'll go for a walk with you guys, but I don't know what we're going to talk about," she says, the smile staying on her face. When Daxter jumps on my shoulder, I notice Meldalvyna's smile broaden a bit more. After a little while of walking in silence, I decide to ask a question that had been bothering ever since Meldalvyna said she could tell I was nervous. "Hey Meldalvyna," I say just loud enough to get her attention. "Yes Jak," she says curiously, looking at me with a thoughtful expression. "How did you know I was nervous?" I ask, looking at her dead in the eyes only to see them widen in surprise.
Meldalvyna's POV
Looking at the sundial we kept outside I noticed it was finally five thirty in the afternoon. I rush to the house & whip open the door. "I'm going on a walk in the Forrest!" I shout inside to anyone there to hear it. "Alright, but be back before nine thirty!" I hear Spyro shout back. I quickly shut the door & take a running leap into the air & start heading towards the location of my favorite branch. I whiz through the air towards the cliff that sat directly above the place where I was supposed to meet Jak.
After about twenty minutes of rushed flying, I see the edge of the cliff & climb higher into the air. Just before the edge of the cliff flashes by, I flip upside down & dive over the edge of the cliff, one of my best racing tricks that I use in the professional circuits back in Warfang. Blazing through the small gaps in the branches of trees below the cliffs edge, I spin around so that my stomach is facing the cliff craggy side. Just when I'm only six feet above the ground I slow down & pull up hard so that I don't crash face first into the ground. I then continue flying just below the reach of the branches to where I knew Jak would come. After seven minutes of flying, I finally land on my favorite branch & begin to wait for Jak.
Right at what I believe to be six o'clock, I hear footsteps & smell Jak's scent only a few feet away. I look up the path to see him smiling gently at me along with the orange & yellow animal on his shoulder. I send a smile back his way, & take advantage of the distance before I stand up to do a quick look over of his body. His dark ocean blue eyes focused softly on me, his slim yet strong face pulled in a smile, his green-rooted blonde hair peeking up above his leather & metal goggles that rested just above his green eyebrows. He had on his normal blue uniform on, evidence of a toned chest & muscular arms hidden underneath his shirt. Continuing down, I saw his well fitted tan pants seeming to hug his obviously strong legs, ending in tall combat boots.
After doing all this while he was walking just a few feet closer, I jump off my perch & land on all fours in front of Jak & his creature. When I stand up, Jak quickly sweeps his eyes over my body, trying to hide what he was obviously doing. "He's checking me out, oh my god!" I think to myself cheerily, the mental smile broadening my already smiling face. Once his eyes reach my face, I suddenly become extremely self-conscious. "Hi Jak," I say, suddenly extremely shy. "Hey Meldalvyna, what's up?" he replies, the scent of nervousness emanating from him.
"Nothing much, you," I reply, curious why he was so nervous. He simply shakes his head no & shrugs his shoulders, gesturing that nothing much happened. Suddenly, his emotion changed from just nervous to slightly scared at the same time. "Why is he so nervous? He wasn't acting like this last night," I think to myself, trying to figure out why he was acting like this. "Hey! What about me!" the orange creature says with an annoyed tone, bringing me out of my reverie with surprise. "Oh, sorry, I didn't catch your name yesterday," I reply, still slightly surprised it actually could speak.
"Well, my name's Daxter. But you can call me... Orange Lightning" he says while suggestively wiggling his eyebrows & jokingly smiling. " Hello, then, Daxter," I say with a gentle smile, trying not to laugh at his rediculous voice. "So, what do you want to do?" Jak pipes up, still nervous. Realizing I had absolutely nothing planned in case this exact situation came up, I start to wrack my brain for things we could do. "Uh, I don't know," I say, trying to think of something fast. I sit down & continue to think, Jak sitting down next to me.
"I don't know," I say again, my head hurting from trying to think so hard. "Okay then, why don't we walk & talk," Jak suggests, his nervousness getting to me. Suddenly I realize why he might be so nervous, & it saddens me to the core. "Is he... is he... afraid of me?" I think to myself, trying to come to terms with the realization. It would explain why he was so nervous. I feel myself begin to well up with the terrible thought, barely able to hold it in.
"Are you afraid of me?" I suddenly blurt out, not being able to puzzle over it any more. "No, why would think that I'm afraid of you?" he replies with a confused tone to his voice. "Well, your nervous, I can tell," I say looking at him, relieved he didn't say he was afraid, but not enough to cheer me up. "Oh, I'm not nervous because I'm afraid, hell, I don't even know why I'm so nervous," he says, a gentle smile tugging sympathetically at his lips. I smell just a tinge of curiousity coming from him, probably from the fact that Daxter was more than likely one of the only people who could tell his emotions, yet I could as well. "Okay, sorry about that, it's just last night I thought I had scared you & Daxter," I say back, a bit relieved that he wasn't afraid of me, but not by a lot.
"Chick, sure it was a bit scary at first, but it was cool as hell at the same time! You are an awesome fighter, better than Jak maybe even!" Daxter says cheerily bouncing onto my knees from Jak's shoulder with a hug smile seeming to rip his small face in half. I smile back & stand up, & turn to offer my hand to help Jak up. He takes my hand & smiles at me while he stands, not pulling at all. "Alright then, I'll go for a walk with you guys, but I don't know what we're going to talk about," I say once everyone is standing, my smile staying on my face. I watch Daxter climb onto Jak's steel-armored left shoulder & can't help but smile at the sight. We walk toward the small clearing, surprised to see that the only thing remaining from the battle with the metalheads the night before was the blood in the sand & grass, no corpses remaining.
Once we pass through the clearing with only a few "ew"s & "gross"s from Daxter, the rest of the walk goes in silence, but only for a little while. I watch Jak through my peripherals, & see his face bent in thought, the watery scent of puzzlement wafting into the air. After a while, I look away at just the right moment each time before Jak can notice I was just looking at him, trying to figure out why he was so thoughtful at the moment. "Hey Meldalvyna," I hear Jak say inquisitively, his curiosity seeping into his voice. "Yes Jak," I reply looking at him, curious why he was acting like he was nervous again, though all I could smell was his puzzlement. "How could you tell I was nervous?" he asks, taking me by complete surprise.
Author's note: Okay, now I know that chapter wasn't very entertaining or interesting, but it gives a hint to what the antagonist of this story is, & it's a key factor to the story. Alright, now for the questions I NEED the answers to. QUESTION ONE: Like I asked last chapter, what should Meldalvyna's last name be? It will also be Cynder's maiden name, but not Spyro's last name, he is only Mel's step-father. QUESTION TWO: Can anyone tell where this story is going, & can you guess the genre for this story? Finally, QUESTION THREE: Do you readers think I should do a suggestive chapter between Meldalvyna & Jak, & if so, which song should I use, song 1 or 2? No, I'm not going to tell you what either of the songs are, but I will say either one of them would go perfectly with the chapter. Also, if you guys say no to the suggestive chapter, it will take me a while to find out a different way to continue the story. Anyhow... hope you guys liked the chapter & I can't wait to hear your replies to my questions, TIGRE OUT!
crai22: It's nice that your still writing and haven't forgotten about the lower beings in life Tiger. As for your questions it's your story so do what you like with it and truth be told I've been distracted lately in a few different stories I'm writing so I can't really help any time soon else it might give away plot in them. Anyways I'm just updating this while thing at about... midnight and been up for the two days without sleep so it's time to hit the hay before uploading this to the story in the morning if I can remember that is.
But sense I'm still on here I'll admit I find furies interesting as well though there will still be people raging about it sorry Tiger but that's just how people are. Though I will admit and some other furies have to agree that some people take it a bit to far and I can understand people raging against them. Even I'm not that crazy to actually own a fur suit, but hey that's your choice so don't let people dragon you down with their own words. I'll also promise to monitor this fiction with the eye's of a hawk and won't bother replying to people raging about this just going to remove their posts. Saves time in the long run if you ask me and that prevents arguments from appearing in the reviews.
