Vincent woke up in a stouper, looking around he found himself in a den, and not his den. Yawning he stumbled out of the den and into a clearing, thankfully on one was their. He went hunting for a bit until he cought breakfast, a little mouse. Unbeknownst to him, he was had just stumbled into the line of sight of one of the group's, and someone ideiatly recognised he wasn't a real Fox.

Zmerr almost snatched the jerky out of the girl's reach, but when he saw that she was Seras' daughter, he felt compelled to share. The gesture was more out of courtesy than sincerity. He looked down at the remaining jerky. This was his emergency supply. "You're welcome." He also felt that he needed to show better manners as the woman was clearly trying to teach her daughter. He didn't want to interfere with the nature of a parent-child relationship. It was far too dangerous. Especially when the parent so clearly wielded magic. He took a strip himself and began discretely tearing off bites with his pointed teeth. He eyed the other two, watching for a sign of danger and maybe even some information about them. He didn't want to ask because they would ask about *his* information. He didn't want to share that. So he just stared quietly instead.

**Blake** . Blake chuckled with a grin when she said 'you dont roar when when I jump'. He looked as she pointed to the east and told him of some ruins before nodding to her asking him to follow her. "Fine with me, just a sec, changing when dressed will destroy my clothes, something I wish to avoid" . After having said that he went back behind a bush, he was not shy or a prude, during his time as a warrior in the tribe it was normal for them, both males and females, to undress while near each other in order to change. But he had learned that what was considered normal at home was not so acceptable in the rest of the world, so he acted as such, changing clothes as private as he could for the sake of others, especially females. . after having undressed and packed up his stuff while pulling the robe around his body he changed back into the black panther shape. Walking out of the bushes he looked right into Cat's eye's with his void and neon drawn eyes before nodding that he was ready. - ----------------------------------------- - **Seras&Chii** - As Chii was eating the jerky, Seras having decided not ask the Asuran for a piece of her self, was thinking about what to do. "Kiro had mentioned there were more further on, did they all leave?" She ended up asking. As on Que The small bat made from flames descended and landed on his summoner or creator's shoulder. . However instead of just sitting there the small creature extended its wing towards an bush on the other side from where the two girl entered. On that side a small creature, a fox had just entered the area. Seras looked to where Kiro was pointing and took sight of the seemingly simple animal. "how interesting, first an asuna and now a Kitsune, Zmerr is that individual one of those that were with you before?"

Zmerr eyed the fox with caution when the woman had said "Kitsune." He'd noticed the fox some time ago, but thought little of it. The word "Kitsune" changed everything though. He'd read about the Kitsune in books and manuscripts from young. Now that he got a good look at the animal, it certainly did have an unfox-like look about it. He didn't answer Seras right away, focusing his attention on the animal. After a few moments, he glanced back at her. "No. There was a draconian and... well some sort of super human. They disappeared a long time ago."

Vala'keers scales unconsciously bristled, raising slightly as the look of such pure innocence was given to him. It was inhuman- only human childs had such looks. Not even Draconian children were like that- from birth, they were simply like large lizards, and then slowly morphed into more humanoid forms, and became sadistic and cruel. They only became tamer when they grew up- a testimony to just how cruel Draconian children were, compared to other types of children. Innocence was something that did not exist in Draconian culture. But looking at this inhuman female, he began to wonder about her powers. She had fallen in the water, and clearly didn't know anything, and yet she didn't sink to the bottom? She hadn't coughed or cried at all when thrown out of the water- as if it were nothing to her. He puzzled over this as he skinned the deer, absently brushing her curious hands away. He didn't notice when she retreated, but her cries startled him. He turned, intrigued and more than slightly aggravated at what she was up to now. When he took in the line of bleeding red on her soft, fleshy skin, very fragile in comparison with his scale, he mentally debated whether he just just kill her. After several moments, when her bawling began truly grating against his nerves, he strode over to her and grabbed her arm, above the cut. He, in a sort of gentle way in the Draconian sense, dragged/pulled her over to the water, and motioned for her to stick her arm in the water. Wash away the blood, and then he'd have to... he didn't have anything soft or clean enough to be used as a bandage. He shrugged- he'll clean a bit of deer skin as a makeshift one later.

Vincent looks up, a mouse in his mouth. Then in a puff of fire he puts on a human illusion and after quickly nomming the mouse down he walked over to Zmerr. **"Hello, I'm Vincent. Hows it going? You seem to have quite the group there."** He said as he pears around Zmerr at the others. **"May I join you, Its been terribly long sense I've had compony. Please?"** Then he pouted, using a bit of magical charm that had gotten him out of more then one situation. He'd noticed the little guy's big gun, and he knew the others were packing their own kind of heat.

Zmerr eyed the Kitsune carefully. He too had a magical presence. Zmerr had very quickly become a minority. He wasn't particularly comfortable about it, but what choice did he have. He nodded once to signify that he wanted Vincent to sit. "I guess so. Just don't ask for any jerky." He looked at the remaining piece. It was slim and dry. Pretty unappetizing, but there wasn't any hope left for a real meal. He picked up the strip and fit the whole thing in his mouth. He shook out the cloth that he'd brought the jerky in to rid it of crumbs. He folded it carefully and slipped it into his pack. He looked around the group. The little girl, Chii apparently, was happily munching on her piece of jerky. Seras was looking at Vincent. What a mix of creatures. This would be interesting.

 “Let’s go,” Cat nodded and launched forward. She stepped on a tree top, as if it was flat and jumped on branches like they were just there to accommodate her - and her alone. Seeing how gracefully she moved, how quietly she landed, and the lack of leaves separating and falling from the trees, it was hard to imagine this had once been someone born with a silver spoon in her mouth. It hadn’t come easy though. Running on trees was a hard-earned discipline to master, indeed. Years of stumbling and falling had gone by, and marked each failure with a cut or a bruise. Now, this fairly low-risk transportation served as a big factor in her survival. One should never underestimate the usefulness in being able to choose one’s battles. A quick look behind, told her that here actually _was _a person, able to keep up when moving above ground. Not a bad- Cat stopped. Both her body and mind. With an expression of much concern, she had landed on a tree and looked down. Her figure now tightened so much that the muscles started to hurt. Down there. 3 men stood. Their armor thick, yet movement far from slow. Their vision like scanners; finding irregularities. In their arms: automatic rifles were at the ready. Yeah, Cat had encountered them before. _GE-agents…_ “Oh shit,” Cat mumbled with a certain amount of stress. “They found them. GE found the frickin’ bodies…” She then turned to Blake. “I was kinda hoping you would eat them. The bodies, I mean. Remove all traces of their existence and stuff. Guess that is too late now.”

(warning, I might not be able to get some real good stuff in, as I still dont have much feel to get into, but if I dont, then we get stuck so..) **Blake** As Cat started to jump from top to top, Blake jumped down finding it more easy to follow her when running on the ground, well in general it is not a secret that Black Panthers were faster on the ground then in the tree's. He noticed her look behind and if he could, he would have grinned as he knew she checked to see if he could keep up with her. Yet suddenly she stopped and he knew why, the sounds of others in thick armor and moving fast. He quickly jumped behind some bushes beneath Cat, using his black fur to hide in the darkness, keeping his eyes on the strangers. it was surprising to hear that she had wanted him to eat some bodies, hell he never had eaten a human before, well using his other form it would have been easy but still... hell he hardly even knew how his stomach would react to that... Worst was, while he could try and formulate a plan with her, he cant talk like this and he guessed changing would both take too much time, unless he were to fight nude, or he will be found out, making sounds or due to losing his black fur, he could try something he has never done before but had thought about using, but he was sure he wont be able to talk softly or anything. For now he looked at Cat and then kept his eyes on those guys... --------- **Seras&Chii** Seras looked as the fox changed into a humanoid, she had heard they could do that so it was not that such of a surprise. Chii on the other hand got startled when the fox began to burn and turned to a human, in a quick instinct she pulled out 4 pink tentacles from her sides and stood ready to attack the figure. Seras however had noticed this and put her hand in front of her daughter who stopped, but she did not retracted her Kari's ooze, not trusting the new man. "Truth be told we only met just now as well mister Kitsune, yet we do would enjoy joining some others, perhaps settle down instead of roaming the world, off course if we need we can help with various activities" Seras spoke up. -------------- **Runa** As the nice thing suddenly came to the girl and grabbed her arm, it instantly made her shut up, though tears were still running past her cheeks. Yet then suddenly he pretty much forced her to place her arm under water. It took her a little while to act as confusion clouded her mind, but as she looked at the water she remembered how well it felt before when the nice thing was away. She ended up putting her arm into the water, somehow hoping that it would ease the pain, which it did to her surprise. well it ended up doing more then just ease the pain. While looking at the wound the bleeding started to slow and soon the wound started to close. Once the wound was fully healed she pulled her arm out of the water and showed it to the nice thing with a big smile.

Vala'Keer watched with a mixture of amazement and guilt as he realized that this was no human. Not unless they conquered the magical arts and wiped one of their own's minds, that could use water, this was very clearly not a human. The Draconian turned on her with a sort of admiration- with that power, their people would've been invincible, before he realized where that thought would leave. A deep sorrow and guilt set in- that power could've saved them. He turned, walking back to the gutted deer, and leaned against a tree trunk, back to Runa. He slowly slid to the ground, still leaning against the tree. He turned; his back rested against the wood of the oak. He gazed sightlessly forward, and thought about how it all could've changed if they could have water heal them.

Two small children climbed out of a small hole in the ground that eventually lead into a den safely hidden by a hallowed tree. The first to be seen is a aboy in dirty clothes and messy hair, He frowned and stared ahead looking around seeing nothing he jestered to someone un seen. A girl in even dirty-er clothes. Tes took her brothers hand an squeezed out of the hole to peek about looking for little critters to trap and eat for lunch, she sighed and said "Wes, i think we ate all the little animals" she said and let out a soft giggle. Wes rolled his eyes at her and jumped into a tree and said "I'll find some just hold on" he climbed to a high branch to see in a clearing not too far a way a herd of deer. He smirked and slide down the bark quickly. Little did he know Tes had ran off impatiently wanting food. She looked at all the little flowers and plant life and suddenly backed up into 3 men with thickly placed armor and fell "Ow.. Geesh watch where your going.. I may be short but seriously dude.. im not invisible" Then she softly murmured something unheard by the men but could be heard if you have excellent hearing she said 'Not yet'

Vincent smiled happily at the inventions, he was glad to meet others. He really didn't want to have to stay in human form all the time, so once he was near them he shifted back into Fox form and curled up. "**I could go try and catch some mice if you really need food that bad, I've even managed to catch a rabbit or two every once in a while, but they have protectors and it's hard to get at them.**" He said, nose resting on his poofy tail.

"That's okay." Zmerr was not fond of the idea. Whether it was because mice seemed repulsive to him or that the fox would have to slobber all over the mice to get them, he didn't really know. Either way, he was not interested. "I have some stuff stored up at home." He leaned against a tree. It was getting late. Afternoon sun filtered through the canopy of leaves, draping everything below in a cloak of dancing light. It was pleasant. It was almost worth hiding out on the island all by itself. Other things like clear running water and and colorful birds made this place all the more spectacular. It pleased him that he lived in a place so untouched by the grubby hands of humans and asurans alike. He stood up after a moment. "I should get back before it gets dark. This place isn't safe at night. Especially when you look like a delicious snack." He waved a hand from the top of his head to his knees to emphasize his small stature. "Do be careful. There are quite a few surprising things around here." With that, he turned away from the gathering of magical beings and heading home, hoping no one would follow him. The last thing he needed was a home full of uninvited guests. He barely had stock and space enough for himself.

(wait how can vala think off Runa her name, no one has given her a name yet) **Runa** Runa looked as the nice thing's face changed into various ways and walked to sit against a tree, looking at something the girl did not understand. She crawled to the thing and put her hand on its leg, wondering what was up with the nice thing. ------------------ **Blake** Suddenly a little girl walked into the scene, bumping into the armed men. He watched for a second, hoping nothing would happen but the men grabbed their guns and aimed it at the girl. Quickly he dashed out of the bushes, the men were startled when suddenly a large black panther, a creature normally found in jungles, came rushing towards them. one got over the initial shock and started firing but the beast did not stopped running, rushing straight for the little girl, biting into her clothes and dashed away into the next set of bushes, pulling the girl into safety. He did not know if Cat would be able to follow with those guys over there, but he was not going to let an other innocent soul get killed by humans, never again, he may have been unable to save his tribe, but he will do whatever he can to help those he can find now. Unknowing to Blake tears flowed from his eyes as the thoughts crossed his mind, but he kept moving till he knew they were far enough that it was save before he suddenly collapsed to his side mid dash. It was only then that he realized he was hit by one of those bullets, blood flowing from his left shoulder. ------------------- **Seras&Chii** As the Kitsune remarked about collecting food, Seras wanted to suggest letting her help hunt but the Asuran was quicker with refusing for some reason. Soon after the Asuran, Zmerr started to walk away, going to his home. Seras looked as the Zmerr walked away, she knew by the way he spoke that he did not wanted them to follow, otherwise he would have asked them to join them instead of warning about the area's dangers. In the end she looked back at the Kitsune. "excuse me, but do you know of any places in the area for us too get shelter by any chance?" In the mean time, without Seras noticing it, Chii had started to sneak after the small jerky man.

Wes heard gunshots and fled into the saftey of the trees, He jumped from tree to tree trying to spot his sister but couldnt find her. She was always getting into trouble, Though he heard the shots fired he didnt feel any pain, so she must be safe. he sighed and kept jumping from branch to branch searching for her. Tes didnt scream or make any noise she just shut her eyes and turned invisable, though feeling a bit of warm wetness splash on her shoulder and seeing her rescuer's bullet wound and tears. Then they hit the ground and she tried rolling out from under him and touched his shoulder softly. She gasped loudly feeling his pain and a light purple glow came from her hand and the glow flowed into his wound and healed it. She was silent for a second and whispered "Thank you" In his ear and layed next to him

((He doesn't; I'm just putting it in here and there so there's no confusion or anything about who he's talking about.)) Vala'Keer yanked his leg away from her, both instinct and personal decision. Draconians don't like being touched- being touched means being in range of a dagger, or other kind of weapon that can slip between rib and scale to kill. It was also something that humans didn, something that could mean affection or comfort. Draconians were above such things! Either way, he jumped up, and walked away, but slowly enough for the girl to follow. She wouldn't know anything, and she's not even human. What should he do with her? Deposit on one of the other sentients on the island? He didn't know.

Zmerr walked to his home among the ruins with the setting sun at his back. The orange light it cast on him formed long shadows and strange patterns of glowing amoebous shapes on the ground. It was pretty, but Zmerr's attention was focused on the sounds around him. His ears stood up listening for the sound of approaching footsteps. He didn't hear any at the moment, but he had his suspicions about the Kitsune. In fox form, he'd be very hard to detect. A break in the trees opened up into a large plot of overgrown land. Ivy and vines grew up the walls of roofless ruins. Now being twilight, the gray stone was bathed in a purple light. The white flowers of the vines shone violet with it. It was definitely breathtaking. Zmerr walked on like it was nothing. With his ears still pricked, he began moving among the ruins. He was looking for the building he called home. He finally came to it. He turned around, rifle in a fire-ready position. He scanned the ruins and tall ferns around him one last time before backing into the entrance of his home. He seemed to vanish as soon as he crossed the threshold. As he entered, there was the crackling sound of a force field letting something past. It was Zmerr's own DNA recognizing forcefield. It only let *him* in. Anyone else who passed through it would only see an empty building.
