Days of War (anyone)

[Stormelle]

Stormelle growled slightly jumping and sifting into a small dragon evading the claws that reached into the cae after her. A hiss could be heard from the outside as the creature wandered away.
Stormelle didn't move though as she knew the thing would be waiting for her. It's master wouldn't call it off till she was dead or it was dead.
Sighing and transofrming back into her human form Stormelle pulled her hand through her logn silver hair. " Why now..." Hitting her head on her hand she looked at her wrist. The sackels clanged slightly and then her mind wandered to a week before. She had been safely in her castle with her friends and loyal people. Or so she had thought they were loyal. Just two days ago two of her gaurds had turned on her, and not just any gaurds, her friends. Teko and his brother hadn't really seemed themselfs so she still wasn't sure what to think. Had someone been controling them?
Sighing again Stormelle tilted her head back and fell into a restless sleep.

Stormelle's older sister Fara looked desprate, " Please continue the search. She is our Queen and my sister!"
The conciel leaders gave her a stearn look, " We are at War. You should know this General. We have no men to spare! We are sorry but we have looked for two days and the battle front needs the men we hae used. It need you General. Now if you please take a seat."
Fara looked over at Zidane who stood.
"Would you alow one man and the Genral to leave. We could use our Queen. She brings peace to the people. Even in times of war." Zidane said his cold eyes showing no emotion as he stared directly at the leader of the conciel.
"We will consider it. Now please today's general court has come to an end. We will get back to you both." he said and the doors of the conciel room opened and sighed Fara put her hod up turning and walking out.
Zidane quikly cought up with her.
" I did my best General. I'm sorry." he sad simply.
Fara shook her head, " Call me Fara not General. I'm not the only General in this war. And it's alright Zidane. I just hope my little sister is safe..."

The one downside of having hooves for feet, was the fear of getting hoof rot.

A shudder rippled through Pallo Balleny's whole body as he held on to his dark green cloak, getting drench from inpouring rain.
For days the faun had been traveling through the old forest, traveling a worn path that supposedly a short cut to the next village.

And not too mention the horrible hoof and mouth disease. He shuddered again.

Shifting his pack he stared down the worn forest path in hopes of finding some dry to shelter in, for the night.

[Stormelle]

Zidane froze his eyes seeming to blur out of focus, " I'm needed in the eastern village...The river is threatening to flood. Fa please wait for the concils orders...I know your desprate but.." Zidane sighed as his eyes went out of focus again. " Dang I gotta go." And with that the mage was engulfed by his cloak as he used his magic to transformed into his true form, a large lion.
Then lion nodded to Fara before it turned it's large paws padding swiftly toward the eastern village. He would have flown but the bad weather would not permit it. Growling Zidane muttered something and cast a spell of haste upon himself. Quikly he made his way toward the village but the rain and made his mane fall infront of his eyes wet and so he couldn;t see the fawn as he ran directly into him.

[Belladandy]

At first Pallo thought that a fallen branch had hit him but when he turned around and saw the huge lion he let out a terrified scream!
"By the...Oh Nannnnaaa!" He cried and made a run for it.

[Stormelle]

Zidane couldn't help but laugh, " No need to run fawn. I won't eat you." he looked at the fawn for a second and said, " Do i know you?"

[Belladandy]

The faun didn't get very far, with the path narrow and slanted and not too mention slippery pouring rain; Pallo slipped and fell onto his side nearly falling off the trail.

Scrambling to his feet Pallo half expecting the beast to take advantage of his fall and pounce. But much to the faun's surprise the large cat stood were it was and was...laughing? And then spoke to him.

"I...I...don't know.." He stammered feeling both scared and confused and of course wet and muddy.

[Stormelle]

Zidane muttered something transforming back into his "human" form. " Dose this help?" Zidnae aske das his lion tail twisted around his left leg to help keep it hidden.

[Belladandy]

The faun gasped in amazemt seeing the transformation. Though he still didn't reconise him.
"You're...look familiar somehow..."Pallo said shaking the rain off him which was now thankfully easing off.

[Stormelle]

"Well who ever you are. We can talk later. I have to help the eastern village. The river might flood. If you wat to come along feel free to ride on my back." he said before transforming back into his lion form and walking up to Pallo.

[Belladandy]

Pallo was about to climb onto the lion's back but stopped suddenly. Realizing that he would be riding bareback. No saddle what so ever, and was not very good at riding either, saddle or bareback.

"Wait a second!" He exclaimed backing off. "What if I fall off, sir..?"
He paused, not knowing the man's/lion's name.

[Stormelle]

" Sir?! Call me Zidane. And you won't. I promise. Now if your coming please hurry!" Zidane said his eyes fixed on the other end of the forest his claw flexing in his anxosness.

[Belladandy]

Wether it was the intensity of Zidane's voice or the fact that he was flexing his claws made Pallo realize that now was not the time to argue.
With some effort he leaped onto the lion's back and grabed hold of his mane.

"Zidane..."He said his voice a little shaky. "I am Pallo Balleny."

[Stormelle]

" Pleased, now hold tight Pallo Balleny for 'm going to run. And run fast." with that Zidane took a leap forward and bega to run.

[Belladandy]

Pallo did as he was told. Holding on with death grip, he let out a small cry as the large cat made a mighty leap and sprinted into a run.
Holy SongMaker! Don't let me fall off! Pallo silently prayed.

[Stormelle]

As Zidane exited the forest a tall man with long black hair looked over at him. He grinned, " About time Zidane." Then he gave a quizical look at the fawn on his back.
Zidane shook his head, " No time Carsa. Pallo off." he said trying his best to stay calm.
