Sean said
"Alrighty, good luck!"
With that, he and Luc took off to their right and took the first left so as to get into the main part of the town. Immediately they spotted the DW carriage and made sure to avoid it, or stay out of it's view. They began to notice that people were looking and muttering about the markings on Luc. Sean took advantage of this...
He walked up to a man who looked well off in life and asked...
"Hey, do you know of any other animals like this one? With markings?"
"Ach, well sonny ((Sean's left eyebrow raised in annoyance at being called 'sonny')), we saw a cat with relatively close marks to that 'un, but that was a few minutes ago and he'd be far gone now, he was a fast traveler that 'un."
Sean quickly thought and said...
"Which way?"
"Ach, that way."
The man pointed to the southeast, where they had just come from...Sean turned his head in slight confusion as he looked at Luc. 'That way?' he thought. 'Ach, oh...No! No ach! Bad Sean! Let's go Luc' he thought as he jogged off in the direction in which he was pointed...hoping that Mae was having better luck than him.

Sean gathered from Mae's answer that she had not too much experience in this area so he suggested...
"Uh...should split up? That'd double our chances of finding them...it'd also double our chances of getting caught...but it might help? If nothing else, we should start moving...so what do you think we should do? Split up? Or....hope?"

Sean stood up and chased after her till he caught up with her so as to simply spit his tongue back at her. He smiled then got quite tense, realizing that his life might be relatively close to an end. He said to Mae in a soft voice.
"So...what do we do to get ahead of them?"

((I pick the Cat [Light]))
Sean came slowly to a walk as his heart was just about to jump out of his chest and scream, 'Take another step and I shall EXPLODE!'. Sean leaned down on his knees and breathed heavily.
"Alright, so we enter the town and stay as far away from the Dark Wizards as possible, yet try to find the target before they do? And don't die? Heh."

"Yup, sadly, you speak truth. But while we must endure it, might as well look at the bright side eh?"
Sean could see the nearby village approaching; he guessed this was where the DW's were headed. He motioned with his head at the village and asked...
"Ya think they're headed there?"

Sean took a deep breath, rose to his feet, and followed after Mae in her jogging pattern. He spotted the dust of the carriage the Dark Wizards were using of to his right as they began their journey. He caught up to Mae so he was jogging next to her and said, amidst breaths...
"One thing for sure...we're going to be amazingly fit after this whole adventure, I'll tell you that much, heh."

Sean smiled.
"Ya...I don't mind it so much...but compared to Luc..."
Sean chuckled thrice and then placed his hand above his eyes as a cover to avoid the amazingly bright sun from blinding him to see if Luc was coming back. He was, and moving very quickly. Luc slowed to a trot then collapsed next to Sean panting, with wide eyes of fear. Sean guessed...
"Dark Wizards...I think. Would you like to find out and try to follow them?"

Sean took the branch and said...
"Thanks. Let's go, I can eat on the run...I think."
So Sean and Luc jogged after Mae, caught up with her then began jogging ahead to help her pick up the pace. After a while they reached the edge of the forest they were in and they peered out into the open plain. There was some dust rising in the far north-west but one could not see what it was. Sean whispered to Luc then suddenly Luc exploded out of the forest towards the dust to see what it was. Sean turned to Mae and said.
"No worries, he'll be right back. He just wanted to see what it was."

"Ya, I slept okay. Had those Dark Wizards chasing me everywhere in those dreams though."
Sean shifted uneasily as he thought back to the troubling dreams. Luc sensed his master's uncomfortableness and rubbed his head against his leg to reassure him of his unfailing love and devotion. Sean then, again, smiled and said softly...
"So, where we headed now?"

Sean looked at the girl standing at the cave entrance and slowly rose to his feet.
"Did you sleep well?" he said.
Luc sat up and cracked his neck side to side then walked up and stood beside Sean, who had walked to and leaned against the other side of cave entrance. Sean uncrossed his arms and began to pet Luc's head softly and the animal began to purr. Sean looked over at Mae, awaiting her answer.

((--2 hours later? lol. Is that okay? If not, I'll revise.--))
Sean's eyes slowly opened and at first his sight was blurry but it straightened itself out very quickly. He looked over to see if Mae was still there. She was...still asleep. She looked so pure and so innocent when she slept. Sean found himself grinning and just staring. Suddenly Mae moved a little bit and Sean quickly rolled back over to pretend he was sleeping. 'How awkward would that be if she woke up to find someone she met yesterday staring at her?!' he thought to himself.

"Ah, yes will do."
Sean laid down on the hard, rocky surface and sighed quite audibly as he relaxed. As he was dozing off he said out loud to Mae...
"Yup. Well, if nothing else...we might just wanna follow the Dark Wizards and then when we know where they're going we just move ahead of them and get what they are after... the closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm, eh?"
Just after that the soft snoring of Sean could be heard. Not a loud roaring snore, but softly, halfway between the breathing of anyone who is sleeping and the sound of a congested nose when someone talks.

Sean's eyes widened and he said...
"Ach! I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Sean. Pleasure to meet ya Mae."
Sean extended his hand to Mae to shake and Luc, again if possible, smiled.

Sean listened intently as Mae spilled the news. At the end the left side of his upper lip was raised, his eyes were opened most of the way and his eyebrows where both halfway up as if saying...'oh dear!" but he quickly shook his head and said.
"Alright, so what is the plan? Like, how are we supposed to find every other creature before the Dark Wizards do? And if so, where would we take them all? And...do you know of anywhere near here where I could wash and possibly get some rest? Because I'm getting quite tired and so is Luc..." Luc looked up at Sean as if saying 'uh, I could keep going but sure, if you're tired I'll be a bit tired for ya as well... "...and we'd kinda like to maybe catch a few winks before we carry on. Is that alright?"
While Sean listened and spoke he would stroke Luc's head and Luc actually began to softly pur, like a cat! If cats could smile then Luc was definitely smiling at the time he was being pet. Sean wasn't even thinking about stroking though...after being so long together he had made the habit of stroking Luc's head while listening or even speaking.

Sean was taken by surprise, firstly when large, dark wizard-looking creatures came out and tried to kill the wolf, secondly when a quite pretty girl came along seeming to be the friend of the wolf bashed through the wizards and helped to save the wolf's life, and thirdly when the surprisingly pretty girl grabbed his hand! Sean gulped but didn't have time to introduce or say anything, he was rushing to keep up with the girl's pace. Every once in a while Sean would look back at the town that was behind him wondering what those things were. Sean continued to keep his footing and to slightly lag behind the girl, yet she insisted and so he persevered in this rather unexpected and very tiring journey.
Sean noticed, amid breaths and long blinks of pain from his legs and occaisionally a stomach cramp, that Luc was not far behind the wolf, obviously intent on finding out everything about his new, similarly odd, friend.
Eventually all four entered the cave and Mae let go of Sean's hand and plopped on the ground. Sean had run a lot, especially in the past and so he was quite fit but still, an unexpected blitz like that put him quite out of breath. Luc was breathing heavily as well, he was not a long distance runner but he had learned endurance from their many trips. Sean sauntered over to the wall slowly, nursing his numb hand which had been squeezed quite tightly by Mae, and eventually sitting down agains the wall. Luc laid at his side, still panting.
Sean was catching his breath as he looked at the girl who had basically rescued them. She was pretty. Just about his height, she wasn't fat or skinny, but just right. He grinned, he hadn't seen a girl around his age in...too long. This girl was obviously slightly older than him, but that didn't bother Sean, she seemed cool, and she had an awesome wolf.
Finally, the thoughts of the day rushed into Sean's mind and he said softly but with an urgency in his voice...
"Thanks for rescuing me, Mae. Who were those...things? And why were they trying to kill us?"
