Dawn hues flooded across the sky soon followed by the sun which could be seen just over the horizon. Two barn owls flew side by side to wards their new home. One of the owls was particularly small yet he still managed to keep up. The larger one seemed very exited for something and hooted away to the other who looked as eager as she was.
Spiraling down to wards the ground, the smaller one landed on a low branch but the other went onto the ground. Turning her her head this way and that she made sure there was no sing of anyone and quickly turned into a human. With a sigh Katherine stretched out her arms and grinned broadly "we're almost there, can you believe it" she said her excitement rising. 'yea well I hope that we can find a place to live' he continued 'I'll help you look for a while but then I have to go' This made Katherine frown and she quickly changed the subject "how about you go get us something to eat" she suggested looking up at the owl. Ruffling his feathers he took of. Katherine sat back against a tree wondering how people would look at her, being 8 years old didn't help the matter at all, so she couldn't imagine herself living in a any kind of place except the forest.
Lunar came back shortly after and handed her a dead rabbit. Turning into a wolf she gulped the rabbit down with pleasure and turned back into a human. "well lets be of" she said getting to her feet. By this time the sun could;d be clearly seen. "I better go on foot" she thought out loud remembering the last time they flew in broad daylight. Lunar nodded and took of once again. This time he flew much lower than before and Katherine followed his lead for a while until she got a pretty good idea were they where going.

(omg SOOOO sorry!! World of Warcraft is like a drug!!)
Draken had lain on the cold ground for a few hours now, and his torn shirt and bleeding arm made the night even worse on him. He only thing keeping him warm was his cloak, which was mostly wrapped around his right arm. Draken cracked an eye open. "Morning already..." he said as he streched his wings out to gather the sun's warmth. He tried to take a deep breath too, but he yelled as pain exploded in his chest. He looked down to see a large bruise extending across the right half of his chest. His ears perked up when he heard something flutter by, followed by footsteps coming towards him.

(Lol thats alright ^_^)
The yell echoed in Katherine's ears making her jump back. Lunar, being curious as he was quietly landed on a branch just above Draken, his eyes peered through the branches as he tried to see who exactly was under the tree.
Looking around in alarm she wondered who it was. Looking up she wondered what Lunar was up to and stepped to wards the tree not noticing Draken below. "Hey Lunar what are you doing?" she asked in a whisper looking up at the owl, who started to jump up and down in alarm.

Draken scooted back folding his wings in an attempt to hide them as he did. He put a hand on the hilt of his sword, but revealed a gash on his arm that had almost stopped bleeding. He took his hand off when he realized that Katherine was not an elf.

"huh" Katherine's eyes widened as her head slowly turned to look down. Staring at him for a moment her eyes traveled to his sword and she started to step back eyes wide with surprise. The small owl seeing as they were seeing gracefully flew down to land on Katherine's shoulder. She glanced at Lunar for a second but quickly turned her eyes back to Draken. Lunar gave a friendly hoot and hoped of her shoulder to land in front of Draken, "Lunar" she hissed giving him a stern look. She had noticed that he was injured but didn't dare approach to help not knowing how he would react.
Lunar didn't seem to pay any attention to her instead he gave another friendly hoot and raised his talon as if trying to shake hands.

Draken's bright yellow eyes rested on Lunar. He gave a friendly smile, but it quickly faded away as he tried to take anoter deep breath. He looked up at Katherine. "I'm sorry I startled you" He said as he tried to smile again, but had no luck.

Smiling quickly she frowned once more as her eyes started at his wounds. "Do you need help with your wounds?" she asked. For a second she thought this might be a bad idea but quickly shook the thought away. Walking into the forest she fetched some wood and placed them into a pile in the middle of the clearing. A flame erupted on her palm and she slowly placed at the base of the wood making light up, next she summoned some water and place it over the fire were it floated just above. She didn't seem to wait for his approval for help and gently grabbed his bleeding arm, the water which was warming up quickly came floating to wards Drakens arm and slowly spilled over him cleaning off the blood. Katherine quickly placed her hand over the wound and she closed her eyes as if trying to concentrate on something, in fact she was. Healing wasn't her best talent making the task quite difficult but within a minuet the wound sealed itself. With a sigh she sat back looking slightly bit more tired than before.

Shadow stood about 20 yeards behind them, watching the whole thing. He was feeling exceptionally evil today, he wasn't supposed to, being leader of the Light Riders, but it was a habit he could not break, he usually concealed himself as a random person, using his magic. Today, he forgot (supposedly) and was plotting his next attack (in truth, he got tired of being "good", those weaklings). Shadow wore his black cloak with the hood up, his hair had gone black (happens when he gets in this mood) and his eyes an even darker black (also a side effect of his mood). He wore his dual swords at his sides and had his phoenix staff in his right hand (a staff with a picture of a phoenix, head at the top, tail at the bottom, with room for his runes he had inscribed). He was only biding his time, any war veteran could see that, except for the fact the he had used a chameleon spell, blending him into his surroundings.

"Wow, You're good" Draken said, watching her. "Huh..? Are you okay?" He said sitting up. He yelled again as pain erupted in his side.
(ahhh can't think right now...questing on WoW lol)

(YAY!!! Welcome back Shadow!!!)
"Yes I'm alright" she said smiling slightly. Gazing around she wondered were Lunar had gone to as he didn't seem to be in the area. Looking back at Draken she frowned as he yelled, "You better take it easy Mr" she warned "How did you get those wounds anyway?" she asked "If you don't mind me asking" Katherine added quickly.
Lunars head slowly turned around to face the spot were Shadow was. Hopping to a branch just above he stared down at nothingness, and his eyes quickly blinked twice in confusion. He was certain something was there, the beings heart beat drummed in his ears as a rhythmic pattern, yet nothing stood in its spot. He slowly stared to jump branch to branch as if he thought he could see him from a different angle. Katherine's eyes wondered to wards the dying out fire and she quickly got up and made her way back into the forest to find more wood. Looking up at Lunar as she walked by pace slowed down and she son came to a halt eyes on the little owl. Wondering what he was doing she slowly started to pick up sticks on the ground, and once her arms were full she walked up to Lunar eyes still staring at him. "er...Lunar what are you doing?" she asked, but Lunar just gave an annoying hoot and kept on jumping around.

"If you knew how I was wounded, you probably woudn't be helping me." Draken replied. He sat up, ignoring the pain this time, and put a hand on his bruised side. "Ah, It's a broken rib..." He reached for his sword as he heard something behind him. He had just realized that someone was watching them from behind.

Wow, thought Shadow, this'll be even easier than I thought. An owl, a dragon, and a warrior who is pretty much a weakling because of that injury. Shadow noticed the owl, he made a bow of fire (which was still hidden with his magic) that gave off no heat and shot a flaming arrow at the owl. Knowing that they knew he was here now, he made 3 copies of himself (all cloaked and made of solid flesh and bone) in different directions. They were surrounded and they wouldn't even know it. Shadow smiled and snickered at the thought, this world would be a better, stronger place without weaklings such as this.

Lunar gave a shriek and quickly flew up dodging the arrow by an inch. "wha-?" Katherine looked dumbstruck and she suddenly gasped. She felt her heart start pounding and her masters lecture about camouflage and other related things came flooding back into her mind. Gasping her green eyes quickly widened and she started to back away to wards the fire wood still clenched in her arms. Lunar dived down in a frenzy and started to attack Shadow with his claws and beak, he always seemed to take a different approach never coming the same way. Katherine's fear started to rise and she felt hot tears forming in her eyes, and she tried to force them back as if trying to convince herself she wasn't scared, but this was false, and all she wanted to do was turn into a bird and fly away.
Whirling around she drooped her pile of wood and ran up to Draken. "Come we have to run" she said trying to keep her voice steady then she paused, and her eyes slowly traveled to wards Shadow wishing she knew the counter spell, and she wasn't sure using magic was a good idea. Shaking this thought away she thought maybe something defensive would work, nodding as an agreement to her idea she made a large-rock wall emerge from the ground to surround their little camp.

Draken got up quickly and drew his sword. Leaning on his sheath, he looked around at the rock wall. "If the wall fails, I will distract him while you run." He told Katherine. "Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." He added.

Shadow looked up at the owl annoyingly. He swiftly jabbed out his left hand and grabbed the owl by its legs and broke them, he then grabbed one of the wings and ripped it off. With that annoyance gone, he walked to the wall and pressed his hand against it. He felt the vibrations of the heart beat and decided to give them a scare. He dug the bottom of the staff into the ground and let it melt into it, he controlled it through the earth and behind the eart wall, with the two inside with it. He brought it, noiselessly, out of the ground. He made the eyes of the phoenix glow a deep red, then made a darkness come from it, pitch black darkness, darker than the darkest night, overwhelm the two and waited for her to drop her shield.

Tears streamed from her eyes and she sat own to lean against a tree. She hugged her knees into her chest and brought her head down eyes closed shut. Her body trembled slightly and the wall slowly started to come down. Katherine started to sob and she started to tremble more violently "its a dream just a bad dream" she whispered to herself eyes still tightly closed.

Shadow and his clones walked towards the darkness that was created. The clones were still cloaked, but the original was in the open. He walked forward, his eyes penetrating the darkness he created. He walked up to Kathrine and grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the darkness. He threw her to the ground and on her wrist was the mark of the dragons.

Draken, who could see clearly through the darkness, sheathed his sword and grabbed for a throwing knife and hurled it at Shadow.

Shadow merely used his magic to halt it in the air, then had his three clones approach him from all sides, still cloaked, and grab him, making sure to punch his wounds and make more. The clones reached for him and found there mark. Two clones grabbed his arms while the other (still cloaked) came in to punch his gigantic bruise.

Her eyes were wide open and she grasped her wrist , "bad dream bad dream" she repeated looking up at Shadow. Trying to rub of the mark she slowly got up and started to walk to wards the forest. Glancing at Shadow again her mind paused for a moment as she realized that she had seen him some were before. "Aren't you the leader of the Light Riders?" she blurted out and quickly covered her mouth. Yes she was sure the picture which her master had shown her looked exactly as he did. Her mind now whirled with questions but she dared not ask them, and slowly she forced herself to back away on still trembling feet.
