Into the night...

She ran across the fields of grass, running into the forest, dodging trees and rocks as the almost full moon lit the way. Her white fur swaying in the cool breeze as she ran, feeling the smooth soil beneath her paws. She howled as she ran, hearing several more howls in response.

Suddenly she ran into an open field and stopped. She had reached her destination. Smiling, the white wolf walked toward the stone archway, seeing the Otherworld, still and peaceful as it had always been. She stopped at the arch and closed her eyes, shifting back to her human form.

Her fur disappeared, her ears shrunk back down to human size, her muzzle shortening back to a normal human mouth. Her canine teeth shifting back to her human teeth, her tail going back into her spine until there was nothing. Claws were shrunk down to fingernails and her paws returned to human hands. Her brownish blonde hair reached down to mid back. Her amber eyes going back to their natural blue color.

Looking at the archway, she stared into the Otherworld, smiling happily and eager to enter. She looked at the stone dragons, bowing before them in respect, then walked through the arch and into Otherworld, the entrance shimmering and becoming hidden once again as if there had been no one there.

She breathed in the clean and fresh air as she walked calmly towards the castle, hearing the waves of the ocean nearby, crashing into the cliff the castle was near. The grass felt cool and soft under her feet, also getting wet from the dew. She loved the feeling and enjoyed it.

When she reached the castle, she looked around.

Everything was clean and rejuvenated. It had taken her a long time to rebuild and clean everything here but she succeeded.

As she looked around, she stopped and stared a bit. "So quiet and empty."

She hoped others would find the entrance leading to Otherworld. It was nice here but she was the only one there with no one to talk to, except for the animals and other creatures that lived there. She wanted someone that was like her to find this place and discover how beautiful and fascinating it was here.

She went back outside and sat in the grass, her jeans getting wet but she didn't care. She smiled as she remembered the first time she discovered this place, being excited and running around like she was free. But she kept asking herself why only she discover it first.

The shapeshifter answered her own question in a whisper. "Everything happens for a reason."

Loziras nods slowly. "Well the issue isn't getting them to come here, the issue is us getting to them."

"It shouldn't be too hard for us to get to them. They can't be too far from where the entrance is to here." she sat up, stretching her arms out at first, then smiled at Loziras. "We will get to them before anything happens."

He smiles ruefully. "I'm afraid its not that simple. When I fell into the portal i sealed it behind me, to prevent any other daemons from coming forth. So while we may find the portal on this side, the other side no longer exists."

Loziras nods slightly at his own statement. "The only way back would be to find another portal and open it to one on my side that is not in use."

She looks at the boy and tilts her head slightly, wondering how long he had been here. "Hello. Who're you and how did you get here?"

Cautiously she went over to the boy, looking at him, never having seen anyone like him. When she smelled his scent, her ears layed back a bit. "You're a werewolf."

Loziras slowly closes the heavy tome, retrieving his scythe from the ground. "And tell me White Fang, why would you want me to use that portal? If I did use this portal you used, it would no longer go back to your own world. Would you really take that risk?"

The reaper allowed his skin to fold back over his cold skeletal form, sliding the scythe over his should as its form shivered then became that of a war-glaive. "And more to the point, what gave you such chase that you couldn't duck around a few trees?"

She looked at Loziras. "Please be nice to him. If he's found another portal, then we can use it. We would have to take the chance that it would send us somewhere else but it's all we have." then she looked back at the boy. "It's nice to meet you WhiteFang. I am Aura." she bowed respectively.

Loziras glances at Aura. "Aura if I was being mean I would use the portal and permenatnly seal it from accessing his world again. I am being nice, because if I do use it to reach my world, he may never be able to return home." He turns back to the boy. "As for niceties, it's always a pleasure to meet fellow traveler. Much to my chagrin I was a tad calous."

Loziras excecutes a flowing bow to the boy. "You may call me Loziras, Reaper Templar of Ulric. As to reiterate before, how did you get so beat up?"

Aura smiled a bit. "Well lets get going to this other portal and see what happens. Then we can help Lozaris." she couldn't wait to travel through the other portal, having always loved traveling.

She followed the boy, staying close. "Sure. It's no trouble." she smiled happily. "What do you want me to tell you?"

CelestialPermalink Reply by Eruedraith Erynion on July 19, 2011 at 4:48pm

Loziras sighed as he saw they were decided. "Very well, shall we follow him?" With only the lightest clink from the padded armor he set out after the boy, carrying his glaive over his shoulder.

"I found it many years ago, when I was being chased by hunters. I was lucky enough to find this place and I've lived here ever since. It is very peaceful here." her tail twitched and wrapped around her leg.

Loziras looks between his two companions, and suppresses the urge to sigh. "I still would like to know how you acquired that host of bruises, if it's not too much troubling you."
