Wandering The Woods

[Deacon]

Deacon had recently made it to the woods and had begin the long hike across them. He had parted ways with his stallion a few days ago when the pair had found a group of Wild Horses that beckoned his mount to come to them. The stallion hadn't tried to run to them, but in his eyes was a vision of freedom and longing. So the Werewolf had released the beast and let it join his kind. He had almost ran full force there, but first he had nuzzled his Master affectionately one last time. Then had disappeared over a hill.

Deacon was now traveling the woods with his heavy cloak bound around him, and his armor held tight. It was designed specially to hold heat in, so he wasn't to cold. As he continued i walk he began to feel tired. So the Werewolf had walked alittle further until he had found a cave, which he walked into gratefully.

Once Deacon had been in there for a few minutes he had started a fire and was sitting down, his back leaning against a wall and looking into the fire. Recently he had been traveling and working so much that he had not found the time to think of his gone Clan or parents. But when he was alone the dark thoughts crept in and soon tormented his mind.

Kyari had been walking through the woods when it had started to rain. At first she liked the slight drizzle but then it started to beat down through the leaves of the trees harder and harder. Finally, she decided to find a place to wait out the rain before starting back. She noticed a cave through the slanting downpour of rain. She crept inside carefully being quiet so as not to wake any animal that may have been sleeping and stopped just short of the entrance. She sat down and looked out of the mouth of the cave waiting for the sun to come and shine again.

[Deacon]

Deacons head had shot away from the fire when his keen ears ahd heard the sound of another. Slowly the Werewolf had stood to his full height. Then he had picked his way across rocks of the cave floor and made his way to where the Elf sat. Slowly he drew his blade and placed it to her neck." Who are you?" He snarled at her. True, the woman had done nothing to him. But he trusted no one now. Ever since the new breeds had come to his lands and slaughtered his kind. Now any new species of people he found he distrusted.

[kyari]

She sucked in her breath quickly when she felt the steel against her neck. She put her hand on her dagger not sure of the situation.
"I am an elf, who lives in these woods. I couldn't get home when this rain struck so suddenly. I had thought this cave was unoccupied, so I decided to wait the rain out here. May I turn around?"
She started to turn her head slowly careful of the sword at her throat.

[Deacon]

Deacon gently pulled his blade back." Yes you may." He said still pointing the tip at her." But tell me, would you wish me harm?" He asked coldly wondering if this Elf was a creature who served the Queen, or Aslon. Neither was better then the other in his point of view. The werewolf took one step back and looked at her. She was free to move, but any act of aggresion and he would kill her.

[kyari]

She turned around.
"I wish no creature harm. I only fight in defense of my family or myself."
Now that she could see him she felt more at ease.
"I am Kyari."
She then looked back outside quickly as she stood.
"It seems we will be here awhile."

[Deacon]

" My name is Deacon." He said not adding his title. He now was King to no people." And yes it does look that way." He said gently as he walked back to the back of the cave where it was warmer, and the fire lit it up." Please come back here, it is much more welcoming." He said to her smiling alittle.

[kyari]

She quickly sized up the situation and then followed him.
"Thank you. It is much warmer back here."
She softly sat near the fire.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you come to find yourself in the shuddering wood?"

[Deacon]

" I am traveling to The Capital." He said simply as he settled back down and pulled his cloak back around himself. But then remembering his manners pulled it back off and handed it to her." Take this." He said gently as he put it in her lap and leaned back against the wall." If you don't mind me asking, what do you think of your King Aslan?" He asked her curiously.

[kyari]

She smiled at him.
"Thank you for your cloak."
She wrapped it around herself grateful for the warmth since she was soaked to the skin from the rain.
"I know that he believes his cause to be righteous but don't all who start wars believe their cause is just? I will not fight for him, but I will not fight against him. Queen Jadis is a tyrant yes, but who can predict if Aslan will be just as much or worse of a tyrant?"

[Deacon]

The werewolf smiled at her alittle." That is a very good point. And I know he will become a Tyrant. Every ruler is one," He said as he leaned back against the cave wall and gazed into the fire." It's just a question of to what extent."

[kyari]

She nodded.
"Do you plan on stopping him? And if you do stop him...who will be worthy in your standards of becoming a ruler?"

[Deacon]

He looked up at her." Yes I do plan on stopping him." He said dryly." And I do not care who the next Ruler is. Once I kill him and Jadis I will go back to my Home." He said as he thought back to where the last of his kind where hiding out in caves like common dogs. It sickened him.

[Crisian]

Suddenly loud growls could be heard all around them. Then Crisian lept in front of them. Three jaguars of very large size followed him. Then many came out from behind trees encircling them. All in all there were 12 jaguars and 10 panthers. Then Crisian spoke. " Tresspassers. Who are you and who do you serve? " he voice was fierce and angry and he growled as he spoke

[Deacon]

The werewolf dismissed the beasts with a simple smirk. Apparently every creature under the Lion was smal minded arrogant, and imputent." These woods belong to all of Narnia." He said simply looking back to the fire." Which would make me a welcome being in it." The man said gently." But if you must know I am Deacon." Once proud Ruler of the Werewolves, he said in his mind.
