((RP for me and Vincent))
Mae ran as fast as she could. She had to hurry, knowing her pursuers were right behind her. "Come on Kas! We can't stop to fight those men now, we just need to hurry and find the next god so that they don't..." She panted, exhaustion begining to set in. The wolf at her side, who's fur was a dark shade of purple, just continued running at her side, urging Mae on.
They had been travelling for a few days now, hearing rumors of a strange animal in a town not too far from Mae's, and that meant there might be another god animal there if the stories were true. So Mae had set off with her wolf to go and warn whoever had the creature. They had thought they were fine until the heard a carriage and horses, and Mae knew it was the same men who had tried to take and kill Kas when she heard the wolf growl. At that point they had started sprinting, wanting to make another days journey, in hopefully a few hours run.
But Mae was already wearing down. They had been sprinting for a good hour, and Mae just couldn't take it anymore... So she found a place to hide and rest, her wolf nuzzling her side. "Kas..." she breathed laborously, "go... and find the other animal, and stay there and protect them..." the wolf was hesitant to leave. "GO!" Mae ordered, and the wolf was soon on it's way, running much faster now that it wasn't worrying about Mae.
Kas managed to reach the town rumored to have a strange animal, and ran through it searching. People yelled and screamed, shocked and scared to see such an animal, and too see how frantic it was as well.
((cause I'm bored I'm gonna write more))
Mae sat in her hiding spot, resting her tired lungs. Then she saw the carriage of the dark wizards pass by... She had to hurry and catch her braeth so that she could protect Kas... she couldn't let the lightning god die. But not just that, but Kas was ber best friend, and she had to take care of her wolf.
So as soon as she had caught her breath, she got up and started running again, staying close to the woods so that she wouldn't be seen.
Mae started seeing signs of a town, and saw the carriage resting outside the town, completely abandoned.
"I have to hurry..." she tried to get to the town as fast as she could.

((OH OH! I'm gonna be the one they're searching for! Yeah! Here we go!))
Sean turned his head towards the door...he leaned his head as if listening to the ground for a sound...any sound. He looked down at Luc who was laying on the floor.
"You hear that, boy?"
Luc turned and looked at the door as well. A sense of danger immediately invaded Sean's mind and he stepped off of the bar stool that he was sitting on... He squinted as he thought for a moment.
"Let's get outta here, Luc."
Luc was up in a flash and both of them swiftly moved to the door adn looked out both ways. The town was full of bustle and the usual, 'what a weird animal!' was being said but the difference now was that...everyone who was saying that phrase couldn't see Luc. Sean frowned in slight confusion and looked down at Luc.
"Weird animal...but they can't see you...hmm...what do you think's up?"
Luc looked directly into Sean's eyes and moved slowly out the door. Sean followed and to his amazement saw a slightly purple wolf bounding towards him. His sword was out in a flash and he was ready for just about anything when the wolf stopped. Sean felt surprisingly at ease near this creature and so he put his sword up. Luc turned his head from the wolf and looked at Sean, then began moving in the direction which the wolf came, following the wolf. Sean thought, 'Hmm...okay...got nothin' better to do...' and jogged after them...
((I gotta go soon, but I hope that's an 'okay' beginning.))

((YAY!!! THAT ROCKED!! ))Kas saw the boy and the cheetah, as soon as he got their attention, which wasn't hard, he lead them away, wanting to get them out of the village and back to Mae. But they were stopped by the dark wizards. They had Kas and the boy with his Cheetah stuck, already getting people around them, trapping them in that street. Kas growled viciously and tried to find another way out, only to get dead ends. So the wolf, stopped and faced the enemy, growling and snarling. Mae gasped as she ran into town, seeing the magic users blocking the street. She was about to do something to break the blockade of bodies when she heard Kas yip in pain. The dark wizards had cast a spell, intent on killing the wolf, but Kas had moved and only her paw was struck. Mae relaxed when she heard the wolf howl. "Don't have much time..." she looked around frantically, then ran back to the front of the town, getting the dark wizards carriage and having the horse run into the town. The wizards users looked back too late as they got run over by their own horse and carriage. The ones surrounding the back, just stepped back incase Mae decided to have the horse run through. Mae stopped the carriage and hopped off, careful though cause she was wearing a skirt. The first thing she did was check Kas for wounds, only finding the one on the paw. "ok, run Kas, we'll be right behind you." Mae told the wolf. Kas huffed and started to run. Then Mae walked over to the boy and cheetah. "oh yeah, definitely one of em..." she said as she looked at the cheetah. "ok, we don't have time, I'm Mae, that was Kas. We all have to go. No time to explain, just start running." She grabbed the boys hand and began to run, knowing the cheetah would follow it's owner. Mae paused only briefly, to get the horse and carriage moving again towards the other group of dark magic users. Then she was running again, not giving the boy any time to ask questions as she ran as fast as she could out of town. Her wolf was waiting for her outside town, and began running again as she saw Mae leaving. "ok, Kas, lead the way." she said to the wolf, and it began running away from the town, already searching for a good place to hide. ((ok, now I'm bored, and when I'm bored, I write more, so enjoy ))Mae followed the wolf diligently, not thinking about how tired her body would be when they stopped running. She had been running all day and she just didn't have any energy left save for the adrenaline pumping through her veins. Kas lead them into the woods, searching for a hiding spot while Mae just lead the boy and his cheetah. She knew they were probably wondering what the hell was going on, but she would explain it all to them as soon as they could rest. Kas was quick to find a cave hidden by bushes and trees, which was lucky for Mae as her legs began to give out. Mae stumbled a bit as she ran, starting to slow when her wolf did. So she began to walk, releasing the boys hand as she tripped over a root, catching herself on a tree. "I hate running... no more running today Kas..." Mae whined as she followed the wolf into the cave. She looked back at the boy, "come on, in here... We'll be safe in here." she smiled, and then went inside as well. As soon as she stopped walking, Mae's legs buckled and she fell onto her butt. She sat there panting and trying to catch her breath. Kas came over to Mae and sat next to her, resting her head on Mae's shoulder, panting as heavily as Mae.

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?"

"they..." she panted, trying to catch her breath "they were dark wizards..." she gulped, "and they're out to kill the gods..."
Kas sighed and relaxed on the cave floor. "see, the strange animals like Kas here, or your cheetah, are actually... vessels for a certain god... Kas has the god of lightning, and.... I think the cheetah probably has earth... by the markings..." she looked at the cheetah.
"I don't know why, but all the gods went dormant, taking the form of an animal. And if the gods are killed in this dormant state, whole world goes bye bye. Armageddon and all that good stuff.... so I've decided to round up all the animals." she finally caught her breath, sighing.
"And if you wanna know how I know this. It's cause just a few days ago, those dark wizard guys, showed up at my house, and tried to kill me and Kas. And for some reason, they felt the need to explain everything, thinking I was gonna be dead by the end of the day. Well they were wrong. Kas attacked the wizards and we ran.... been running for a few days now, cause we heard of a strange creature in this town."
"now what else was I supposed to say...." she placed her hand on her forehead thinking.
"explained the dark wizards.... they want to kill everything.... the gods went dormant in animals... easy to kill then... um... OH!" she snapped her fingers.
"to awaken the gods. you need every animal together in one safe spot, and then need to... what's the word... immerse them in their element. Those wizards were really stupid to tell me everything... for some reason, bad guys really like to gloat." she chuckled.
"anyway, oh the different elements. Fire, water, light, dark, air, earth," she pointed to the cheetah, "life, death, and lightning." Mae patted Kas.
"what else... I coulda sworn there was something else..."

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.

"Well... um... I was just following rumors so far... and... I don't know where to keep the animals... I hadn't thought of that... but we can rest here for the night, we all need some rest... but I don't think there's a river close to this cave... um... what's your name? I figured the cheetah is Luc... but you haven't said your name yet..."

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.

"Nice to meet ya. you know I'm Mae, and the wolf is Kas." she shook his hand. "now if you want to get some sleep, better do it now... the Dark Wizards won't take too long to get themselves together and they'll probably be moving again soon, so we need to get some sleep."

"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.

Mae just nodded and sighed, laying down and curling her legs up as she rested her head against Kas's side. Kas just rested her head on her paws and shut her eyes, sleeping lightly to keep check of any strange noises.

((--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.

((2 hours is ok))
Mae yawned and stretched, sitting up. Then she stood and stretched her back looking over at Sean. "wonder if he's awake yet..." she wondered aloud. "Kas, go see if you can find some food." she said as the wolf walked out of the cave, then Mae just went and stood by the entrance waiting.

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.

"I slept fine. What about you?" Mae looked out into the woods to see if Kas was returning.
