Forest

"With that big dragon thing protecting the villages? They wouldn't dare harm you miss" He smiled kindly "Besides, they'll have to get through me" he winked "They have tried once, and failed. Haven't met anyone that could kill me yet." He said good naturedly.

She shook her head blushing but said "No I haven't, and thank you. For saving me I mean. I don't know what came over me...I guess since they know that Silver can kill me, and that I'm a werewolf. They'll be very keen on killing me." She said sadly.
She closed her eyes, remembering the pain that it'd caused her. She opened them again.

"Well if I didn't save you I wouldn't have the pleasure of getting to know you know would I?" he asked with a sweet smile. "You ok?" he asked gently when she closed her eyes. He leaned forward slightly and gently brushed her hair. "Uh sorry" he said embarrassed and dropped his hand.

She blushed "That's ok. Um....yeah. Just remembering the scar, they gave me." She said rubbing her right shoulder. "Nearly killed me." Remembering the leader.
"Also happened two night's ago. Fast healing also another one of the werewolf secrets." She smiled relaxing a bit. She had a funny feeling in the pit of her stomach she didn't know the feeling but she liked it. Zirean stared into his eyes.

He blushed slightly and looked up again. "That will come on handy" he winked. He looked down and fiddled with a little twig. He twirled it on his finger and then gently tossed it and caught it again without even snapping it. He smiled nervously. ~Why am I getting nervous?~ he asked Laoshi. She just smiled and rolled over. ~Your no help~ he laughed. He looked back at Zirean. "So um..you all settled into Vanahoon? Got a house and everything?"

She watched him twirl the stick with interest and answered his question "Um....No, i've only been there a week. Mostly wounded in Town Hall. The first time, I was shot, by a bow. Then the Shadow Rider came, and turned me. I mean turned me werewolf."
She paused and asked him "So what kind of training have you had. I've mastered swordsmanship, and archery. Though mostly Swordsmanship." She said smiling at him.

"I see, well we can't have that now can we?" he asked with a shy smile. Then he looked up and shrugged. "Mostly martial arts. I've dabbled in archery but it relies to much on the right conditions" he chuckled "Martial arts..it's just you and them. I'm surprised you were trained in the arts of battle." he said with a smile "Most women are not. But then again the founder of one of the greatest ninja clans in China was a woman. She is famed with having met the Pharaoh of Egypt." He laughed "Children's tales I am sure"

She listened to him with interest. The sun had risen and it was bright and sunny. Even though there was still snow on the ground. She heard twig's snapping from far off, and branches being moved through the forest. Zirean looked in front of her, in the woods.
Having her eyes set on the spot she heard a snort of a horse. ~I thought you were in trouble so I came to check on you. No one was in the barn. So I came to see if you were ok.~ Mithous said to her as he came out of the brush.
Zirean relaxed and said "It's just Mithous. I guess I forgot about him. So he wanted to see if I was ok." She said to Laohu. Zirean got up and walked over to Mithous patting him on the neck. ~I'm fine. Nothing happened. Really.~ He swayed his head back and forth in laughter.
She smiled at Laohu blushing.

Laohu smiled as the horse appeared. "What a beautiful stallion" he commented and slowly stood as to not startle the horse. "I bet he was, Laoshi won't let me out of her site" he laughed nervously. He smiled as the horse seemed to be laughing. "What ever you told him I don't think he believes you" he chuckled

She smiled at him. "No, he dosn't. Laohu, meet Mithous. He's my Spirit Animal." Zirean walked over to his saddle girth and made sure it was tight again. Mithous looked back at her.
~What no breakfast?~ She said ~Later. I'll make sure to give you extra.~
~I'll hold you to that.~ he grunted. Zirean asked Laohu "What do you want to do now?" She asked him.

"Good to meet you Mithous" he half bowed and smiled. He went over and picked up his jacket and looked around. "Well is there other villagers?" he asked curiously

She nodded at his question but said "I don't know very many of them. But I'm sure Mika, or Saron would be happy to introduce you." She grabbed Mithous's riens. She smiled at him and asked "Ready?"

"Always" he nodded and got ready to go. (is she on Mithous?)

(Er no. She's leading him)

With Mithous beside her she went to the path that Mithous had made from coming back to them. She stepped into the brush.

Laohu followed quietly at first. "So how big are the towns?" He asked softly

She said "Pretty big, enough to have a Town Hall, Stables, and a few other places I don't know yet." She held the riens behind her so that the path was big enough for the two of them. They were getting closer to the two towns, she could see buildings ahead.
They came to a clearing before they would enter the back of the town. Suddenly she heard wing beats. "That's strange?Wonder what there up too?" She saw Samba fly over head. With his large body, covering the spot they were in for a second. She looked behind watching Samba fly off towards the mountains.
(Sorry got bored. Added more)

Laohu nodded walking beside her "Wow sounds big." he commented. He looked up to "I don't know but it looks important, should we go check it out?" he asked

(omg Laohu worse timing ever Zirean just left before you posted lol)

(damn lol)

(I'm back. Sorry had to do chores. Ugh.)

She nodded stepped to the side of her horse and jumped up. After putting her feet in the sturrups she offered a hand. "He can carry two of us. Even with the weapons. Lets go." She said anxiously.

Laohu nodded and took her hand smoothly swinging up onto the horse. He put a hand on his swords to keep them from slapping the horse.

After Laohu got up she nudged Mithous into a canter. After a few paces she galloped him. Soon they broke out of the brush and were in the far back of the town.

-------Outside Town Hall. (Where everyone else is. Lol)

---------Stables.
When Zirean walked out she didn't see anyone around. 'Hmmm, where did everyone go?' she asked herself like anyone would've answered. Seeing that no one was around. Zirean only had a few hours till sunset. So she went down to the place where Laohu had killed off those bandits.
When she got there she saw that the bodies were still there rotting. Distgusted, examined the bodies anyway so that she could memorize what they looked like. There wolf spirit animals were a ways off. She noticed that none of them had a 'S' mark on there shoulder.
"Damn." She cursed now she was upset. That means they would come back. "Figures that one was pretty scared. Though he just might send others, and not come himself. At least this ones dead." She kicked there leaders side, furious at what he did to her.
She scavenged the belongings of the men. Though nothing was that interesting enough to keep. Sure a few gold, and copper coins. Which she kept. After being through with the bodies. she decided to leave them there. Not wanting anything to do with them.
Zirean walked out of the camp and deeper into the forest.

-----From who knows------>

Laohu was walking quietly in the forest where he felt so comfortable. He saw a beautiful woman with dark hair walking in the fading sunlight that permeated the forest canopy. He walked along behind her. "Beautiful isn't it lassie?" he asked in a quiet voice.

Zirean stoped as she heard a voice and pulled out her knife (not the silver one.). But she put it away when she saw who it was "Sorry, I didn't know it was you. I was just coming out from the barn."
She smiled at him and answered his question "Yes, it is." waiting for him to catch up to her.
