Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zahar nodded. Water would be a good thing, her tongue felt dry and tacky. She tapped him lightly again and then pulled on the strap that looked like her canteen. Shifting carefully as to not create more pain for her hip, or toppel them over. Zahar's hair slide across his shoulder as she moved her head again to look about them. It had been some time since she had been in the woods, though she doubted she would remember trade routes, or where any small villages were anymore. She let out a soft sigh and signed to him, May I have a drink when we stop next?

Zahar took the canteen and sipped a few gulps. Putting the cap on she placed it carefully back to the front of him. Thinking a moment on the ground might be a good thing, she tapped him yet again on the shoulder. Signing to him slowly, May I have a step on the ground. My leg is feeling aweful cramped up. Her eyes frowned. Very tender. I do not know if I will be able to stand well. Zahar tried to pull back her hair with one hand, the other laying across his chest for support.

Her eyes smiled lightly to him. Thank you for your help. I probably would have died out here without you by now. She started to move her right leg slowly, wincing as she went. Her foot throbbed very lightly with the open air, but it was her leg that she was most concerned about. She stopped the movement, it hurt to much to even more that slowly. Zahar mused to herself about how much of a sitting duck she is out here. Wrapping her arms about herself with a sigh she realized just how lucky she was. Looking up at SK she signed, What was I thinking? I ran off and I cannot even care for myself. Zahar started to shake with emotion. What was she trying to prove and to whom? Her eyes welled up. Zahar knew that she must seem full of self loathing right now but she didn't care. Her life, or semblance of a life, seemed to be so twisted right now. Her hands went over her mask. She was ashamed of what she had become.With out noticing her fingers moved as she thought to herself, How could I ever have been so confident? How could I have thought I could help people when I cannot even help myself? Her body shook as she took in more air, her hands stopping their movements.

She smiled in response, although the talk of family saddened her. She supposed now was when she must speak with Chae once and for all, and the thought frightened and demoralized her. It was not at all apparant in her expression or stance though. She was good at controlling those things.

She had, after all, much practice.

he was pale, more so then normal, and he smiled, "y,y,you.. welcom," he shivered slightly, "we will rest for a little while the sun is comming up. i will get us some food, the break of dawn is a great hunting time. i will set up a small fire now and be back shortly," he ran around gathering wood for a brief time and got a small fire goin to the right of zahar in no time, "there. light for you till it actually gets light out, i will e back shortly, i need food, you will too," he sprinted into the woods a great smile on his face. she haddent rejected him. he drew his katana anfixed his sheath to his back as it was supposed to be as he ran.

he sprinted around eyes darting quickly his nose picking up the sent of his querry, the rade had lept at him some time ago, he was sure it was sorry it had as his blade had cut a deep gash in its hind leg. he now sprinted after it a smile on his face loving the thrill of the chase. this one was huge, bigger then any of the ones he had slain in the party of nine he did battle with. there was a gleam and fire within his eyes, this was a tricky bugger he though. it had doubled back on him leaping off a tree and inbehind chargeing back toward camp. he was in persuit now and they were approaching where Zahar sat, she would be ok he would be on the beast soon. all of a sudden the beast picked up speed. he began to get worried about his catching it. he pressed harder leting out a horrific war cry that emiated in the pit of his stomach and rumbled out in a tone much deeper then one such as him should have been able to produce. the beast burst through the last line of bushes before it would be able to see zahar and he pressed harder nearing his querry he could almost reach out and touch the beast, as it burst through the bushes. there was a fallen log that leaned against a tree at an angle that took him up about 10 feet. he sprinted with uncanny and inhuman agility up the steep log and out onto a very thin branch. the beast was nearly on zahar an now and had just leapt in the air to either clear over her or attack her, he wasnt sure which. he lept off the branch soring parrallel with the beast but above it. his katana plungeded through the beasts neck, severing the spinal colom and they both, beast and man, hit the ground. his blade slid a good foot into the ground skewering through the things neck. he was thrown forward by the impact and used his blade to launch him in an areal cartwheel over zahars prone form landing on his feet in a crouch about 4 feet from her. the beast stopped where the sword had stuck it to the ground, its outstreched paw a mere inch from zahars closest leg,he laughed looking to zahar, "sorry to cut it so close, but on the other hand these things taste great," he panted from the effort of the sprint, "told ya, you're safe with me," and he let out another small chuckle, it felt good to become that hunter he knew he was again. he looked to zahar, some concern on his face and waited to see what she would do.

his body glistened with sweat as the sun peaked through the leaves of the tree in the predawn darkness, his eyes litterally glowed a slight red, this happened during a bloodlust frenzy, another trait from his father.... he smiled though an said, "i wouldnt have let it hurt you before it killed me, though i was worried that it might get to you first, fast was that cat. heh, no harm no foul," he laughed again, much more heartlily this time, "ahh, i haven't had a hunt like that in a while, good to be in a chase again. have you ever hunted?!?" his movement were fast as the adreanaline pumped through his viens, he was happy andd excited like this was an every day event. in the back of his mind he wondered what zahar would think to see him act so casual about this type of thing.

"are you ok? do you need me to move the body," his muscles no longer bulged and and some of the EMENSE tone they got when he entered a rage began to fade quickly, the red glow left his eyes, " im sorry if my appearance frightened you, for me to be able to catch up i needed to enter into a bloodrage. this is an ability gleaned from my fathers species... it increases my strength speed and dexterity for a brief time, i also cannot feel pain, unfortunately it is hard to control, and were i hurt enough in a battle the act of dissengainging myself from it could kill me. you are the only being to have witnessed this and not been scuered on the end of one of my blades or lying dead in my wake... im sorry you had to see sucha horrid thing."
