The cliff had been a surprise. Rynn had simply been going through the woods to find something that needed doing when she had found herself looking over the edge of a large cliff down into a lush valley. It seemed hidden, almost separate from other places here. The few villages in the valley before her looked as if they had never been attacked by demons, or burned down- never raided or destroyed in the crossfire of two demonic entities battling with nothing on their mind but the fight.
This brought a slight smile to the cat demons face, her emerald eyes sparkling in the early afternoon sun. It was a nice day, with a soft breeze that occasionally tousled the red curls that fell all about her shoulders. Rynn turned away from the valley shortly after, as if her looking at it would cause their paradise to fall apart instantly. She sat down upon the ground, the soft grass cool to her skin. Rynn sighed happily as she continued to lay down, closing her eyes in the warm sun. Nothing was to be worried about now. She had no arch enemies, no one chasing her. And Rynn hoped she never would.

A tall figure walked slowly through the peacfull valley he wore silver robes that made him look like royalty silvery hair hung over his sholder lightly and black bange framed red eyes. his foot stepps where light and almost as if he was hovering over the ground instead of walking. he streched lightly his lanky body flexing underneath the robes.
"...I don't know what jullian was thinking..." he muttered to himself running a hand through his bangs. as he walked he spotted a red headed figure his body went slightly ridged the demon was always on guard on his forehead was a single golden jewel and four red demon marks.

Another gust of wind blew, and Rynn breathed in deeply, enjoying the smell of fresh air. But this air wasn't fresh it spelled like... dog... no... wolf. It smelled unmistakably like a wolf demon. Rynn sat up quickly, looking around her, expecting to see a wolf pack surrounding her, ready to take her to their den and either kill her or... worse. She saw no one.
Rynn narrowed her eyes. Odd. She turned to look down in the valley, the direction the wind had come from. There he was. A silver and black haired figure, a new addition to the valley sight she had seen before. He must have been the source of the scent. Rynn looked at him for a moment, then she felt as if she had accidentally made eyes contact- for he was looking at her to. She quickly looked away, staring at the sky above her.

The demon know as shango spotted he sitting up and then looking away from his he decided she was no threat to him or his jewel but something made the fox curious about her in an instant he was with in a few feet of he his feet swift and light. he jumpped up the cliff face till he was right infront of her. his nose caught the scent of a cat demon.
"This is Wolf demon territory..." he said shortly his eyes looking down at her they where cold but there was a bit of softness buried somewhere in there depths. "What is a cat demon doing here..." he growled lightly.

Rynn stood up, showing her full height- which was only to his lips. "I didn't know it was wolf demon territory. I was just traveling around the lands." she met his eyes, her green ones not wavering from his red eyes. "I mean you and your.... civilization.... no harm." Rynn had used that word very loosely. Wolves were hardly civilized, though this wolf did not look like them. He smelled like them, but appeared to be something else. Then she saw the tails. "Wait you aren't even a wolf pup- you're a fox. What do you care what I'm doing here then?" she asked, her defiance of his 'threat' clear. She could now detect the light scent of fox beneath the overpowering wolf stench. "Have they been keeping you captive? You reek..."

"I am a wolf even though I am a fox" shango said cryptically. the demon had been taken in by the leader of the wolf clan in this area. he had been young at the time and had since blended himself seemlessly into the pack. all of the other wolves took him for one of them even though they knew he was not a wolf demon. "I am a member of the pack who owns this territory... I am the leaders number two" he said standing up straight as he spoke his chest thrown out slightly and his arms back. he was posturing just like wolves did.
"Though you mean no harm to our pack...I must ask what your business is in this area...or are you just passing through" he spoke more eloquently then a wolf would meaning for most of his childhood he had been in his fox den. "If the latter is the case then I will leave you to be on your way as you are no threat...." he said

Rynn replied to his authoritative posture by standing up straighter herself. "I'm just passing through, thank you very much. You aren't going to go back and tell your pack there's a young cat demon wandering around, are you? If I get ambushed...." she glared at him slightly, knowing that if she finished that threat it would be just as empty as if was half said. Though she was a formidable one on one opponent, Rynn wasn't so sure she could hold her own again a large number of grown wolves.
"Let's just say the last thing I need is to be attacked by a bunch of wolves.... I've heard of that happening and it..." Rynn shuddered slightly, for the first time a slight break was seen in her defiant act and a little nervousness shone through as she remembered the story of the captured female cat demon from her clan after she had escaped. It was a different pack, but wolves were wolves- hungry in more than one way.

Shango was slightly annoyed that she would suggest such a thing of his pack. but as she threatened him he couldn't help but stifle a laugh it wasn't a haughty one but rather one of amusement at her empty threat. he started to laugh not able to stifle it any longer.
"really...your strong i think....but you cant take on a pack..." he said with his light growling voice. he gave her a slightly mischievous smirk and then shook his head lightly.

Rynn looked away slightly, a small defiant smile on her lips. "I never said I could..." she traced her eyes back up to his face slowly, a little relieved to see him at least smirking. It was better than glaring. "I didn't know wolves ever took anyone else in anyway.... the packs I know of kill on site, or if they like the poor creature, they take her away for other purposes." She blushed lightly, embarrassed slightly that her fears seemed to make no sense to the fox. Maybe they weren't all the same.

"Granted that is how most packs do things The pack I belong to is a bit different... I know the leader personally as he was the one who kept his pack from killing me on sight if anyone other then he had found me back then I would be dead...and you should feel lucky that you where found he by me an not another of the pack..." he said giving her a stern glance. if it had been another member of the pack they would have already taken her and done god knows what to her. realy the only two in the pack who whernt what most would call savage was himself and the leader.
"....I think though if you are going to be passing through here often i should take you to meet the leader..." he said with a light frown.

Rynn grew a bit more alert at that. "Are you sure thats a good idea, won't I have to go past the not so friendly ones to? And I don't really know how much I'll be around. I"m just an adventurer, I don't really have any certain path to follow. I hate to say it, but I'm a little nervous about being around so many wolves. I am a cat demon, kind of sworn enemy, ya know?" she looked at him with wide eyes, her youth and naivete seemed to show in that moment- she was only sixteen.

This got a little chuckle from the fox demon as he looked at her. he then spoke quietly to her
"Hey as long as you stay close to me while we are there i see no problem...most of the other wolves wont challenge me ..." he said there where obvious reasons for that one shango was strong and for two the pack leader would be pissed if they injured someone that shango had brought in.
"It's up to you but if you linger here much longer one of the other pack members will find you and they are not as amiable as i am" he spoke with a light growl

Rynn looked around quickly, almost as if she thought one would show up at that moment. She sighed, knowing this to be the lesser of two evils. "Alright. I'll go. But please lets take the least wolf covered way...."

"Most of the pack patrols the border between our pack and the other wolves..." Shango said as he started moveing jummping back down the cliff he looked back up at her as he did then when she followed started to lead the way. the man seemed to have an aura of royality as if he was not bestowed it but born into it. even for a fox demon this was a rare feeling. his feet where as swift as a wolves haveing had to keep up for years with his pack. as they neared the wolf demon encampment. he slowed his pace once again he seemed to be floating rather the walking as he made no noise.
"Where here..." he said quietly as he stepped into the clearing that had a few tent like dwellings. a few wolf pups where playing some kind of game with a ball switching from wolf form to human quickly as they tried to catch the ball mid-air and then throw it to the goal area. Shango watched this and smirked catching the ball with his hand when it came to near and throwing it up. two of the larger kids jumpped up in tandom for it clawing at each other once they reached the ball. soon the neared the largest of the tents and shango opened the flap motioning for her to go inside.

"I could telll..." Rynn said when he told her of their arrival. She knew by the smell. She looked to the fox demon. "Whats your name? I don't even know it.. I'm Rynn..." she said, before entering.

"Shango...." he said shortly as he let the flap swing shut leaving her alone in the tent as he went to fetch the pack leader. He came back a few minutes later a man with long black hair in a poney tail following him. the man didnt look like a normal wolf demon though his tail and ears said otherwise.
"Gomen...so you are this lovely cat demon shango was talking about when he asked me to come..."the man said with a kind smile. he was definitly not like any other wolf. his smile was kind and infact the man seemed to extruded kindness.

Rynn looked at the man, surprised by how comfortable she felt at the moment. "Yes I suppose I am. He told me I should meet you just in case I end up passing through here often." she said, unsure of how to act in front of the leader of a wolf pack, even the man was comfortable to be near.

the man smiled kindly and extended his hand to her a wave of rose blossom scent seemed to waft over the area where they stood.
"Yes it is a good thing shango brought you here...the fox has a keen sence of how to deal with situations of the matter of trespassers...if you had even a remote feeling of being a threat you probobly would be killed by now..." the man chuckled slightly "My name is Jullian I am the leader of this clan" he said his voice seemed to always hold slight amusement in it. shango was standing behind him looking at rynn. almost like an anxious teen hopeing his father would agree with his choice of girlfirend.
"I must say you will make someone a happy man when you decided to bond..." jullian looked her over but his eyes where not prying like most would of been after that kind of statement. Shango spoke next
"...Jullian....enough of the charm...." he said softly putting a hand on the wolves sholder. Jullian looked over his sholder and grinned mischiviously at shango.
"Oh thats to bad...does my little fox Kit have an eye on her" he teased shango growled slightly.

Rynn blushed at Jullian's first comment, then at the exchange that followed. She smiled slightly. "I don't think Shango has an eye on me, we've hardly had a nice conversation..." she chuckled slightly, looking at Jullian "But that you for your compliment. And for your kindness, I know I got really lucky today running into Shango..."
