All about the base of the Lonely mountain is a forest that has grown massive and dark. Trees are deep rooted and overgrown and because of this fact it makes an excellent place to hide. It is said that the magical residue that seeps into the ground from the Rementhos Academy had twisted the land. Monstrous creatures are said to roam the forest sneaking in the dark places between the trees. The only safe way through is a path cut by the mages at the academy, and even that, with it's wards and magical barriers may no longer be safe. The corpse of a young girl was found lying in the middle of the road by a traveling mage. It is said that the magical drain off from the academy had finally made the monsters in the forest to powerful to control. If so, then even the wizard's path is now a place of dark mystery.

Tala Bloodthorn tramped through the undergrowth, muttering complaints. She had no idea where she was since apperantly the map the old man had sold her was a fake made up in his imagination. Having burned it to ashes Tala wondered around looking for a way out of this cursedly dense forest. She didn't have problems being in the darkness under the canopy, she could see perfectly in the dark, even better than she did in the light. Being a drow certainly had it's advantages. "Hey! Tala! Any luck?" A voice, soft and smooth, said behind her. It was her shadow, who she called many thingd, annoying, pest, imature, but liked to be called Nrohtdoolb Alat. It was Tala's name backward and made no sense, like everything else her shadow did, and could not be pronouced except the last part Alat. "Whould I still be trapsing around in this forest if I had Alat? Shut up and let me think, or better yet, actually do what I told you and scout out for the end of this god forsaken place." "Your so mean Tala, just for that I'm leaving!" "I wish you could." Tala sighed, her shadow had to stay connected to her, no matter what the both of them wished. The only way they could seperate was if Tala let Alat have a piece of her soul, and even then that was only for short distances and left both eeling weak and tired afterwards. Sighing again Tala marched on wondering where the exit was.

Keras moved like a flash through the treetops. He could hear the girl now, she was making no effort to tread quietly through this cursed place. Ah well. She would soon learn the ultimate lesson for her mistake. Keras smiled inwardly and wondered if Exha enjoyed all the gifts he sent her. I wonder if I'm her favorite mortal, what do you think little 'un. Think she maybe likes us? I think sometimes she has a crush on us. Monster.... only a twisted being such as yourself would would crush on the goddess of death. Well... she has a sis-- Oh shut up. "Suit yourself little 'un." Keras leapt down from the tree and landed in front of the drow girl. "Well well well. What's a lovely lady like yourself doing in a dark and dangerous place like this. There are dark creatures about." Keras grinned revealing sharp and dangerous teeth.

Tala wasted no time being scared or awed. She slamed her elbow into the things belly and then followed by ducking down and swinging her leg out to knock it over. Hopefully if she could get whatever this was on it's back it would be smart enough to leave her alone. She hadn't needed to hit it in the gut, that had just been punishment for calling her a 'lovely lady' and assuming she was scared of dark creatrures. Whatever this was it was an idiot for not attacking first and instead bragging and giving her a time to attack. She noticed Alat fluttering nearby, but the shadow had been told many times only to interfere when Tala was an inch past death.

Within his mind, Talin was rolling with mirth at seeing the evil young wolf smashed in the gut by a fourteen year old drow. Smooth, velvety smooth. At this rate we may just get to meet Exha today. Oh shut up!
"Umph!" Before the sweep kick could hit his legs, Keras made a tremendous backflip and kicked off of the tree rocketing towards the drow girl his body becoming even more beastial as his mouth turned into a gaping slathering maw and his hair lengthened to his shoulders. His ears had moved to the top of his head and he had grown a grey wolf tail. "You'll pay for that little girl!"

A Lycan! Tala thought surprised. They were incredibly rare, and incredibly dangerous. But right now Tala was in a bad mood and this idiot had now not only called her a lovely lady but a little girl. "Whose little?" She yelled and rolled from the spot she had been. She quickly got up and while the Lycan landed from the jump got to where she would be behind him. Once he was on the ground she grabbed his arms pulling them behind him painfully. "Do you give up or do I have to hurt you some more?" She said pushing his fingers backward slowly, if she kept this up they would break.

"Grrr! You no good little! Unnnngh....." "Aaaagh! You're breaking my arms! Hey! Hey stop it! Ouch!" Talin had regained control of his body and it showed on the surface. The ears, tail, claws, teeth and hair were all different. His hair was now a wood brown and he was struggling against the girl. "He's not in control anymore! Stop it! I'm not going to hurt you! Ease up on my arms! Ouch!"
I can't believe she pinned me! She's the first person who ever matched me in a fight! She's... incredible. Keras had relinquished the body unintentionally when he realized that he had been beaten by a girl.

"What in the world are you talking about now? Are you crazy or is this some kind of trick because I'm not that stupid." Tala said keeping her grip firm, but she stopped pushing his fingers back. The boy she now held was completely different but Lycan's could change between wolf and human easily so she was still suspicious.

"No really! I'm serious! He's... I'm... Look it's hard to explain! I was the boy who inhabited this body before I was bitten by the wolf! And then Keras took over! He killed my sister! He killed... he killed them. Please let me go." Talin was now crying as he remembered the day he woke up and found them dead. The day he found the dark part of himself. The day Keras took over.

"Hmmm..." Tala watched the boy break down and against her common sense let him go, but not without warning. "Though don't think I won't beat you up again if I have to. And call me 'lovely lady' or 'little girl' again and I'm not stopping till I break every bone in your body, I'm in a bad mood already and don't need you making it worse." Tala sighed and wondered what she should do now. She was still lost and she wouldn't turn her back to this boy until he was a mile away. So what to do?

"If he comes back you won't beat him so easy. He just underestimated you because you were a girl. Sorry! My name is Talin Theron. Son of.... Moschet Theron the woodcutter." Talin held out his hand. "Don't worry. I don't bite... well I don't bite often."
I can't believe I got beaten by her.... sigh! Keras' attitude had changed from anger, to disbelief to grudging respect, to admiration.

"I'm Tala Bloodthorn, you don't want me to list my ancestors since I can recite them back for hundreds of generations. If he comes back and is stupid enough to attack me again I'll become even more aggressive, this time I didn't use my legs but once." She shook his hand. She was partialy bragging to make sure this boy wouldn't think he could beat he and have his evil side resurface, and part telling the truth. Tala specialized with kicks and jumps and her long legs were surprisingly strong for something so thin and lovely. Alat had decided that she should no longer be scared and worried so was speaking up again. "He's cute! Flirt with him! Come on! A simple eye bat and I'll be quite. You can't ignore me forever!" Tala bore the comments and didn't react at all to them, she was used to this, Alat was such a stupid...whatever she was and wanted Tala to flirt with every boy she meet.

Suddenly the boy shuddered. "No... No I can't! He's coming.... Run please! Don't hurt her! Please!" The evil young wolf was resurfacing. "Hello again girl. You know, you're the first person besides Gabriel to beat me in a fight. The runt is right though Pidge, you can't beat me again so easily." Keras smiled. Now that he had control his ears had become pointed and his hair went down to the small of his back. His teeth and claws had sharpened into points, and the sad forlorn eyes were now confident and predatory.

"So does that mean you want more punishment? I'm not going to give you the pleasure of screaming and running, not only would it be degrading but it'd be stupid since I'm sure your faster than me and the chase will pump you up with adrenaline, making you stronger. So tell me right now if you want to fight and we'll do it the honorable way." Tala said already shifting into a fighting postion. She would be ready and this time no holding back. The best and worse thing about fighting with only your body is that it's incredibly hard to kill. Tala had never done it and never wanted to, but she would do anything nessicary to save her life, even use that annoying shadow magic.

"T'would be a shame to ruin such an intriguin' creature as yourself. Though I'm sure your blood would taste like the finest of wines since it's packed in such an elegant bottle." Keras licked his lips at the thought but restrained himself. "I'm suprised that Kora herself hasn't stricken you out of jealousy or that Kiari hasn't invited you inta' the pantheon by virtue of your own stunnin' beauty."Lecherous show-off.
