The Fallen Angel and the Lion

[Ricia]

Tannis held out his hand with polite decline, "I'm mostly a carnivore. Grasses of any kind tend to disagree with me." Tannis said with a chuckle.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Oh!" Stone said as if that made him realize something "You arent a demon so your and animal as a human right?! let me guess," he sounded a bit exited


"Oh this again," Esma let out an aggrivated sigh "what if he's just a creature that likes meat? I like meat,"


"Yeah but you eat the hearts of men like candy," Stone said


"Amungst other things," Esma said.


Stone rolled his eyes "Tannis you got to be a cat! no no nevermind cats are way to alloft,"

 

[Ricia]

Tannis laughed, "A cat is close. I am the only of my kind that I know of." Tanns put his finger up a moment then he flashed a bit, his glamor changed. But at first the change didn't seem anything. He leaned down a bit and parted his hair a bit to show two small round ears. "Close... but not right." There was no way Stone could truly guess what he was. He was a rare sight.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"A lion!" Stone said exitedly.


"Oh stone," Esma said "you are still such a kid,"


"I'm not a goat," Stone said useing the litteral term for kid.


"the terrors found her... you didn;t tell me she was the princess," Esma said


"Oh... forgot," Stone said

 

[Ricia]

Tannis smiled, "I keep hearing it.. but it means very little to me. Where is she?" Tannis asked her.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"She killed her captors she's in the woods out of town," Esma said glaring at Stone who was just smiling ]


"Go to her Tannis, she's got to be scared, such a little girl," Stone said

 

[Ricia]

"Thank you very much. I don't know which way is out of town... I'm still quiet lost...." he said softly.

 

[InsaneTruth]

"yeah its simple really, just follow the main road till it ends at the gate outside of the gate there are no roads but you;ll see the forest," Stone said

 

[Ricia]

Tannis nodded before bowing he walked to stone before handing him the remaining silver, "thank you. Take care." He said before running off to the forest. He ran the whole way till he got to the entrance. That's when he went to track.

 

[InsaneTruth]

he could faimtly smell blood on the wind Shania was not subtle when she was agressive. The wind was blowing from the trees she was far into the woods sparce as they were compaired to Terrins,

 

[Ricia]

Tannis followed quietly and quickly with the thought of her hurt. He wanted to sneak up with any thought there still may be enemy about.

 

[InsaneTruth]

He soon came across bodies and the smell of drugs, and in a tree was a familiar brown haired girl holding a demonic blade

 

[Ricia]

"Shania..." Tannis whsiper. He was sure she already picked up his heartbeat. It was quick with worry. "Shania it's Tannis."

 

[InsaneTruth]

"Tannis," she said almost falling out of the tree she was trying to focus her eyes but her vision was doubled her balance off she felt aweful.

 

[Ricia]

When she seemed to recognize him he got up and ran over to the tree. He took his manticore form and reached up, standing on his hind legs., his paw came around the branch to steady her and psuh her foreword into his furry muzzle. "Shania... I came as fast as I could.. grab hold of me... I will find a safe place to rest."

 

[InsaneTruth]

Weak hands gripped his fur her sword hooked to her back heavey as always it was amazing she got up the tree with it, "Tannis... i hate people." she said even as she got cuddled to himwithout his paw she most likely would have fell out of the tree.

 

[Ricia]

Tannis leaned down with her in his fur, "Don't harber hate Shania. People are what helped me find you." Tannis told her. He left her to rest in the mass of fur that was his mane before walk to fine some place to defend her and himself. "One day you will understand that no all of people are bad."

 

[InsaneTruth]

She huffed lightly she dobted that people sucked. There were caves in the forest some big eniugh to harbor the massive manticore. But he could also hear predators like bears and wildcats all around, and all bigger then the ones in Terrin

 

[Ricia]

Tannis walked to the cave. He used fire to light the cave and see inside of it.

 

[InsaneTruth]

it was empty other then a few spiders and webbings. It wasn't very deep in either

 

[Ricia]

Tannis sat down soon and curled up in the cave. He let Shania curl into his fur and rest. He let his fire disappear before concentrating on warming his own body for Shania. He was sure she was drugged, but now that she was with him she would sleep.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania fell asleep when his warmth began to spread she held onto him tightly her little body was worn out and dirty.

 

[Ricia]

Tannis quietly watched and took guard till she woke, though he himself was still so exhausted. But he was so happy. He was happy that he manage to find Shania so quickly as well. It was thanks to his new friend.

 

[InsaneTruth]

Shania rested through the night before stirring a bit "I have to go pee," she said softly. She felt Tannis's fur and felt calm and safe.

 

[Ricia]

"Alright." He said before laying his head down for her to roll off his fur. He would catch her if she fell.
