"Get away! Get away!" Yelling loudly at the pack of creatures below, Katherine held on tightly to the tree, eyes watering slightly in fear. Lunar hooted and hissed angrily at the hounds, diving down every so often, and clawing one on the ear or muzzle. The hell hounds, unfortunately, would not leave. Their numbers where slightly large, counting to ten in the small hunting party. They were also one of the very few animals, which Katherine highly disliked, because of their nature to attack anything, and everything that moves. Currently the small group stalked around the tree, eyes filled with aggression. The canines also had a strange affect on the young shape shifter, and she found that changing into a bird and simply flying away did not work leaving her stuck...in a tree.
Flying up higher, Lunar circled around the are in hopes of attracting nearby wonderer's, and quickly dove down for another attack with success. The day, sadly, was getting old, and the sun was slowly journeying to wards the mountains. The hounds had also found a way to get her down, and by attacking the tree continuously, slowly made it lean down to wards the ground. Taking a deep breath, Katherine quickly bent down and leaped to wards another tree. Grasping it tightly, she dared not look down at the snapping jaws below, and slowly hauled herself up onto the tree branch. This tree however seemed to large to be knocked down, and she sighed knowing it would be hard for them to get her.
With bared fangs the dogs looked up at her, as if amused at her luck, their disgusting nature enjoying every moment of it.

Flying deftly though the forest, Seoman pulled in his wings at a think-treed part to let momentum carry him forward. Hearing commotion in the woods, he directed his flight towards the source. Forgetting to change to mortal form, he remembered at the last second when he flew into the clearing with hounds barking at a tree, and with a pop, shed his Phoenix skin revealing an elf, but not before the girl had seen. Walking forward, he glanced up into the treetops and saw, to his suprise, a girl clinging there in the shape of a bird, having sensed her powers a while back. Raising his hands towards the hell hounds, he spoke a word that no mortal on (is the name of this planet Earth?) Earth could utter, and one of them collapsed on the ground, writhing and howling in pain. Making an arch with is extended finger, he drew an imaginary line through all the hounds and watched as each acted the same as the first. Then, getting up, the hounds slinked off with many vengful howls. Walking calmly forward to the tree, he climbed up with the speed and skill of a woodland elf. Taking the bird lightly in his hands, he dropped to the ground and set her gently on the forest floor. "Are you unharmed," he asked politely, adding "child?" to show she had nothing to hide from him. (sorry about that)

(shes not a bird lol >< shes in human form =P)
The sight of the sphinx brightened her eyes and she grinned in wonder before grimacing back down at the dogs. As each of the hounds where Slade by the elf she looked away unwilling to watch them die.
"A sphinx!" She cried upon being set down to the ground. Staring up with excitement she clasped her hands together in happiness and grinned in excitement. Lunar gently sat himself down onto her should and blinked up at the elf, eyes filled with curiosity. "I'm alright wise one," remembering what her master had said about sphinxes she knew that this was a good time to be polite, and added the name cheerfully. (the "wise one" part)

Observant little girl he thought with slight curiousity after accepting the compliment with a nod. Smiling at her, Seoman spoke. "I'm glad. Why where those hounds following you?" he wondered out loud.

At the mention of the hounds she frowned slightly and looked down at the ground, as if searching for an answer. "Well...I just kind of bumped into the bunch...and being Hell hounds...I guess they thought it would be fun to chase...and attack me..." Looking back up she froze for a second, feeling the hair on the back of hair rise up, but quickly shook the feeling away and turned her attention back to Seoman.

(In school? Is u in summer school?) Glancing up in the tree, following her gaze, Seoman saw nothing suspicious to draw her attention, and so looked back to the girl. "What's your name, child?" He asked, brushing the leaves from his shirt, having removed his white robes, it being most inconveniet in the thickets of the forest, while letting his milky-white hair fall around his sholders, framing his blue eyes in clouds of white. "You may call me Simon" He said, recognizing her easily for a human. (I'm gunna give Erimav something to do, cus he can't really do anything on "The End of Sithius" =p)
Observing the conversation from a shadowy branch high in the tree, Erimav leaned forward in surpise at the realization of a sphynx standing in plain view right in front of him. 'This would please Sithius very much...' He thought hungrily. Unconsciously, he extended his claws, sharpening them on each other excitedly. Calming himself he thought. 'Hold on...I've never met a sphynx before, and while I am no fool, I don't have experience with there riddles and type of magic...I'll consult Sithius' He decided, closing his mind to better concentrate on far-away thought-speak.

The strange feeling had not yet gone away, and now Lunar blinked curiously to wards the shadows. "Its nice to meet you Mr. Simon, I'm Katherine." Glancing at the sky, she sighed slightly seeing the sky turning a darken navy color. Looking back at the elf she blinked, a question coming to mind. "Why do you change into an elf?" She asked with wonder. (=O no lol no no no I'm not out of school yet x.x theirs like 12 more days of classes and then its a week of exams D= )

Seoman shrugged nonchalantly. "The Elves are, besides sphinx, my favorite species. Light, quick, expert markman, with far more beautiful features then any other race, they are ideal. But" He said, smiling at her. "It is not my only form." And, with a look of concentration on his face, the elven features were replaced by the more defined lines of humans. Then, again concentrating, the figure gradually shrunk to become a chipmunk on the ground at her feet. Changing back to an elf, he smiled at her. "But that is all I can do" He said, with a downcast look. Then, suddenly, he laughed. "This should make history, that a girl of human race is superior in shapeshifting to the Mighty Sphinx" He laughed again.

'I'm not a human' she almost yelled out, but quickly bit her tung, and laughed slightly as well. "How did you learn shape shifting?" She asked after a short pause.

(He can sense her power cus she's really good at shapeshifting and he's a sphinx) "I was born with it, it is a normal attribute for Sphinx's, being as posessive as we are about our privace. If someone found out I was a Sphinx, I'd have no rest" He said knowingly.

Nodding in understanding she smiled, "well Lunar and I promise not to tell any-" Looking at her shoulder she jumped up in surprise seeing as Lunar was no longer perched there. "AH," looking about she found herself panicking slightly and quickly ran around the clearing in search of her friend. "You better not be playing hide and seek...or done something worse and went back to the island..." Changing into a wolf, she scented the air, and scrunched her muzzle slightly at the smell of something strange. Ignoring it she quickly found Lunar perched on a high branch, which showed a good view of the clearing. Grinning in the sense of victory, she quickly, and quietly, jumped onto a branch and crouched down in the small place, getting ready to pounce. Surprised that he had not heard her, she smiled even wider since Lunar had always won when they playd. Pushing of with her hind paws, the white wolf pounced to wards the owl with a loud challenging growl. Hearing this, Lunar quickly shot to wards the sky, hooting angrily...but the hoot turned into a more surprising concerned hoot and he found himself almost go yeep (when a bird freezes in the air and basically falls to their death.) Quickly looking up as the owl flew off, she quickly looked back and prepared to land on a branch, but instead found the space occupied by some kind of figure. Colliding with the...the thing, she yelped slightly and quickly tumbled to wards the ground, paws outstretched.
Landing on all fours, she shook her fur ears bent back in annoyance. "Now what was that about..." she growled slightly, but was cut off short as Lunar came spiraling down to wards her. Grinning her wolfish grin she barked up "tag is it now?" Looking bewildered Lunar landed onto the ground, rather heavily, and started to hoot loudly, feathers puffed out. Not noticing where...whatever she hit went she slowly pawed for wards to wards Lunar and looked down, wondering if she had hurt his feelings or something.

(ah gosh freaking dangit!!! I had this huge post and i hit copy when i highlited it so i could go to the reply box, not the quick reply, and it didn't do it!! dang! waaaaa! I don't wanna do that all over again!) His concentration broken by the annoying owl, Erimav turned to see a great white wolf supposedly flying through the air towards him. Colliding painfully, he gripped the trunk of the tree to hang on. Then, realizing he couldn't have made a bigger announcement of his prescence with a page and a horn, he dropped deftly to the floor. "Don't waste your petty costume on me, Sphinx, your secrets are revealed." He said, gesturing with scorn at the elven figure.
Starting at the noise, Seoman turned, watching the dark figure suspiciously, he realized that what he said was true. Shedding his elven form, powerful hind legs replaced the slender elven ones as the deft front legts replaced the arms, each pointed dangerously with scarlet claws. His pupils thinned and turned red while his milky-white hair darkend to flaming auburn. Last, great wings sprouted from his back as the sun glinted off their brilliant, blinding light. Speaking with an ancient voice filled with sorrow and pain of centuries, his voice echoing with another simultaniously, he spoke. "What do you wan't, vampire?" He said, already disliking the sleek-haired, black-robed figure.
Startled at first by the creatures magnificent beauty, after refraining himself from taking a step backwards, Erimav gave a slight, curt bow, recognizing-by far- his elder. "The hounds were mine" He said, not flinching under the creatures angry stare. "Had you not come along" He continued, glancing at Seoman, "she would be mine right now" he finished with a nod towards the girl, indicating the obvious, as both the Sphinx and he now stared at her.

(awww D= )
Hearing the voice she couldn't help but growl, instinctively, at the presence of a foe. Cursing herself in her mind she quickly scoped up Lunar and jumped back, hackles raised. The instinct of the wolf seemed to take over slightly, but she forced her hackles to lower, not wanting to show any sing that she wanted to fight. Staring at the sphinx for a second with wonder she shook her head and looked back at the vampire, while all the wile forcing the memories back. Lunar froze for a second as her fangs prickled slightly at his body, but quickly regained himself and looked around, upon being placed down. Glad that she had practiced magic in this form, Katherine decided to stay as she was, feeling a bit safer as a wolf, than as human.

Nodding with mock politeness to the wolf, Erimav grinned at her. "You have something I want" He said in a low, silky voice. "Yes...yes...my memories!" He spoke the last with a hiss. "I am not here to fight you, though I daresay Sithius would like a prize like you" Hize gaze flicked over the Sphinx again. "But no," he continued "no I just wan't those thoughts back, which are no doubt unpleasant for you" he grinned at her again maliciously. "And I will get them" He finished in a soft, hissing whisper.

Forcing herself not to flinch she stuck her tung out childishly, all the while a bit overwhelmed that he was not after the book. "As unpleasant as they are...I'd rather keep them than have you in my head again." Moving slightly closer to the sphinx, she stared at the vampire, not letting her gaze leave him. Fear started to crawl up her mind, but she forcefully pushed it back, trying to stay as brave as possible, in fear that history would repeat itself.

Seoman stared at the vampire, unafraid, but angry. "You will not touch her, in mind or in body" He said, moving to stand protectively in front of her.
Erimav frowned. "I can see you leave me no choice. I must fight you now because, should I try to posess her, my body would be at risk. No, I can see I must finish you first, though, you can be sure, I take no pleasure in it." Not waiting for a reply, Erimav raised his arms out in front of him, his hands rising in the air. "Ast kiranann kair Gardurm Soth-arn/Suh kali Jalaran!" The spidery language of magic flowed from his lips, and the ground began to rumble. Suddenly, a skeletal hand broke the surface of the forest floor, and was quickly followed by many others. Pulling the ground apart, six spectral warriors formed ranks around the vampire. "I am a necromancer" Erimav said in a whisper that carried through the tumult around him.
Starting in amazement at the figures before him, Seoman firmly shoved the girl back. "Run" He said. "I can-I hope-take care of him."

Gasping slightly as she got pushed she quickly got up and looked back confused at what to do. Hesitating Katherine dug her claws into the earth, instant spikes of earth rose up where Erimav and his minions stood. Sprinting off into the forest she glanced back in worry, Lunar flying above her. "Go get the others" she said meekly, and sped up to wards a large tree. Halting at the spot she panted slightly and scanned the area for a few minuets before throwing back her head and releasing a loud howl. The sound spread though the entire forest, breaking the silence immediately. After her call had ended the silence took over once more, until other howls rose into the night sky. Sighing slightly her attention shot to wards something in the darkness but she realized soon after, seeing as it was Hutser. Bowing her head in greeting she greeted the other wolves that soon followed, and found more had come then just the pack. Glad that they listened. Barking at the leader he nodded and flicked his tail for the others to follow. Sprinting off back to wards the small clearing, Katherine slowly down and bent her ears back upon reaching the spot, her usual green eyes set on the vampire. Changing the color of her skin she crouched down behind some bushes and glanced back at the dogs. The leader commanded some to go around to the other side, and she nodded in agreement then looked up at the sky in search of Lunar.

With a soft twang, a small, thin blur raced through the air and the arrow penetrated the skull of the nearest skeletal warrior with such force that it knocked the abomination off balance. Another arrow struck it in a rib, shattering it before it could turn to seek the source of the attacks. High up in a tree, crouched at the base of a branch, Leah nocked another arrow and took aim at the next warrior.

Not having expected this barage of attacks, Erimav almost lost control, but his years of practiced dicipline would not alow that. Grasping the words of a spell in his mind, he began to chant. Drawing an arch through the circle of trees that surrounded the clearing, the leaves and branches of the selected trees burst in to radiant flame. Acting quickly, he spoke another encantation and all the flames froze, falling to the ground in shards of ice, penetrating all defenses except the invisible shield around the vampire and his legions. Vanishing in a whirl of his cloak, Erimav reappeared next to the leading and largest wolf, without hesitating to sink his teeth into its throat. Howling in pain, the wolf fell on the ground, writhing as its teeth grew, his pupils darkened, and his fur turned black. Rising up, his hackles raised, the hound turned on the others and attacked.
Seoman was considerably startled at the onslaught of allies against this vampire, and took a second to recover. Deciding that riddles would do no good here, he leaped forward, using his powerful hind legs to collide into one of the undead. Whirling around, he slashed out at another, recieving a sharp pain on his leg, but watching as the warrior smashed into a tree.

Her pupils widened at the sight of the event which followed and she froze at the spot. The wolves, who were much more experienced at fighting than herself wailed in sorrow for their leader yet quickly dashed forwards and finished off the new fiend. Rushing towards the skeletons, some stayed back and went at Erimav, eyes filled with hatred and rage. A shriek from above made her snap out of her state and she quickly looked up, to see the shapes of birds in the sky. A large roar made the group split up in terror and down came Boris, his expression filled with concern and rage. Getting back into formation the birds, most of which were owls, came flying down towards the skeletons, talons extended forwards ready to attack.
Knocking over some trees as he landed, Boris quickly plucked out Katherine, from the edge of the forest and landed in a small area of the clearing. Placing her down he placed his heavy head so that it would look straight into her eye, his expression strict and filled with concern. "What is all this? What in he- the world are you thinking!" slashing his tail back and forth, he accidentally managed to destroy some of the undead soldiers, and rose his head up, "that’s it you’re getting out of here. Come on change back now and let’s go." Staring up at the dragon with her heart pounding and mind in shock she shook her head and slowly got to her feet. "But Vo-" "No buts! You can’t be here! You’re seven for crying out loud, now come on I'm taking you either way." Flinching his right whisker like antenna he growled and quickly whirled around, to find some of the soldiers attacking his tail. Taking a quick deep breath he sent out a wave of flames, killing off allot of the skeletons.
Changing back Katherine staggered back slightly as the heat from the flames came roaring out, and quickly looked around wondering where Erimav and Seoman were.
