optime form.
For unknown reasons, it seemed as if his words had fallen completely upon deaf ears. Or so the man had thought. Was this her answer? The silence only proved that something was hidden. She did not deny his question. So, had the Zheynche followed him here? They had the strange mixes of allied dog while the Vorrakess remained ‘pure’ upon the line of wolf, coyote and jackal. He waited, standing with his shoulders slightly lowered, tensed while he held his upper arms in a defensive stance. The name would utterly bring his enemy to attack. Yet, she did not. Instead, he stared intently at her. It was strange the way the moon reflected brilliantly within her eyes.
Suddenly, a liquid shadow darted forward, dashing and confusing the man’s line of eyesight. He stiffened. A trap was all he could think. He had finally been caught. His tail lashed, eyes trying to follow the shadow until it bounded, stretching sharp, thin claws into the pant legs of the woman before ultimately disappearing and then, reappearing on her shoulder… “Get away from her. Get away!” The small furry beast spoke?! His eyes blinked, wondering briefly if this encounter had somehow cursed him. He leaned back. The handmade dagger moved to pose before him as his tail rose.
It slashed at him with its claws as the woman pulled back her lip and stumbled backwards. Confusion was a difficult emotion for Wolfgang to hide. It always had been. His head tilted ever so slightly, eyes widened from their typical narrow state as the Vorrakess man took a slow step back. What had the Zheynche done? His brow furrowed. Ironically, Wolfgang thought briefly that this could only be one thing; a dream.
The tiny beast curled around the woman’s neck in seemingly affection. Wolfgang, however, could not loosen his guard in fear that his kingdom’s nemesis was just before him. He stayed as he was… flabbergasted. “Who are you?” He assumed that meant she knew the Zheynche. Thunder booming in the distant background, the shorter male replied; “Wolfgang of Vorrakess.”
