Nimbus returned her smile as his horse galloped beside Iyika. Suddenly, Nimbus felt an oddly warm senation in his left leg and looked down to see his sword was glowing bright white, just visible at the tip of the sheath. 'No, thats impossible! Not here, not now...' he thought desperately to himself. He tried to hide the fear from his face as he looked back up and noticed that they had reached the trail beyond the trees which Iyika had mentioned. "Looks like we're almost there!"

"yes, just a little further," she doesnt look back and she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath of the fresh air, she hears the stream of fresh water and turns her horse just a bit to head toward the freshes spot that she knows of. she smiles while enjoying the ride.

Nimbus closed his eyes as he rode, thinking of the ever-approaching foe to which Iyika was oblivious. He felt a surge of guilt as he realized how much danger he'd put her in just by being with her. Finally, they reached the water's edge and he dismounted to fill his gourd while his horse began sipping from the stream. He glanced down at his sword again-- It was still glowing bright as ever within the sheath.

iyika smiles as she dismounts and almost falls but catches herself. she feels something but cant place it... iyika looks at nimbus but then quickly takes off her traveling clothes and has underneathe shorts and a black shirt, she jumps into the water and dives deep down and then comes back up for air bringing back up with her a stone. she swims to the edge and quickly walks back to her bag. she gets dressed not worrying about her wet clothing and takes out her recorder. she sits down and exmine both the rock and her recorder. she giggles "oh thats what it was. i knew it!" she smiles at her find. she then remembers the faint feeling she had a long time ago but then it was now she is having the feeling. she still cant place it. "i wonder." she looks at nimbus and sees that something is wrong. "what is it?" she calls over to him. she continues to hold her recorder and the rock

Nimbus looked up at Iyika and was about to speak until he heard the sound of pounding footsteps, growing louder and louder. He withdrew his sword, illuminating the area and both of them in its light. Suddenly, a great white wolf which shone as brightly as the sword bounded from between the trees into the clearing where Nimbus and Iyika stood. It eyed the sword in Nimbus' hand with a piercing stare, until looking Nimbus directly in the eyes. Then, without moving its mouth, the wolf spoke in a strange language. "Surrender the Blade if you value your life, mortal..." Nimbus looked at the wolf, but did not reply. He tightened his grip on the sword, not taking his eyes off the wolf's. It happened in an instant. The wolf leaped at him with its jaws bared, and Nimbus swung his sword in front of him like a wand, casting a great bolt of lightning that surged from the tip into the wolf. The wolf crashed down upon Nimbus, only to be pierced through the abdomen by the blade. Nimbus quickly withdrew the blade from the wolf and backed away slightly, his sword still raised. The wounded wolf stumbled to its feet, cast one last look at the two, and disappeared in a flash of bright light. Nimbus sheathed his sword, no longer shining as it had, and sat down to rest on the ground. He noticed blood dripping down his arm from his shoulder; the wolf had clawed him the moment he penetrated it with the sword.

iyika stares at nimbus wondering if what she just saw was real or not but she knows it was. she shakes her head and carfully wraps the recorder back up. she puts the rock into her pocket and runs over to her bag. and puts the recorder away and then grabs a peice of cloth after she noticed nimbus's arm was bleeding. she runs over to him and helps him sit down, avoiding the sword and helps wrap his arm up for him not to bleed to death. she had taken off his shirt carefully and exposed his arm so she could wrap it properly and tightly. she asks "how does it feel? are you ok?" she looks at him worriedly. "i hope you dont die! i dont like that stuff -when people die." she looks at him and helps him put his shirt back on over the bandaged. she smiles as she looks at her handwork.

Nimbus looked at Iyika wearily. "It stings a little but I'll be okay... And thank you for helping me" he said gratefully. He laid back and closed his eyes, until he fell into a deep sleep.

Rai had been lounging in a tree a mile or so away and saw the Lightning. Rai let out a growl of disspleasure as the wind blew the scent of fried flesh and blood to his nose. "Damn, it's probably that damned cub again." spoke out loud. Jumping down from the tree branch and landing silently on the ground. Rai made his way towards the sorce at a fast pace. Tiger demon was surprised to see only two humans one covered in it's own blood. Rai took in the area seeing the tale tale signs of a battle that had been fought. The tiger was not happy it was to close to familys den and that did not bod well with the demon as he thought that his newest siblyings could have been hurt. "Who started the attack." Rai growled out his anger growing.

iyika looks around when she sees the voice. she jumps. she carefully places a blanket under nimbus's head. she stands up and says, "i dont know. something, a wolf. came and attacked and disappeared." she cautiously sits down defenseless. she looks at nimbus and feels his forhead to see if he is getting a fever. "do you think you may help me? he feels a bit warm. i just need to get some water." she picks up nimbus's gord and checks if it is full. she hopes that the wolf demon is not going to attack her.

Nimbus slowly opened his eyes feeling rather groggy, and sat upright. Everything was slightly out of focus, and he felt feverishly warm. He looked up at the bright blurred figure of the tiger demon. "Who are you?"

"nimbus this is someone who has come, i asked for his help but i am not sure." she looks over at the tiger demon, surprised that it has not attacked. "are you ok nimbus? i will not abandon you." she looks down at his eyes. she puts some water onto an extra peice of cloth and puts it onto his forehead she looks at the tiger demon. "who are you and how did you find us?" she asks nervously, she stares at the tiger and waits

Rai watched the two humans quietly debating if he willlp them or hunt down the wolf in his familys tarritory. Rai Narrowed his eyes at the female human slightly before he answered non challantly. "I am known as Rai and I found you by the scent of blood and the flash of lightning. Now why did the wolf attack you?" He demanded to know.
