 Three men walked noisily through the forest chatting obsenly between themselves. With them paced five very eager and very large wolf hounds. Long jaws and sharp teeth hot on the trail of a freshly sented wolf. The men held their rifles loosely as they followed the hounds. "Think we should let 'em go yet?" asked one. The two others looked down at their eager dogs and grinned wickedly. "Yeah, I'd say it's a fine day fer huntin' us some shapechangers." With that they released the five eager hounds.

Not far away Rio came awake with a start. Her ears scanned the area for noise her nose lifted to catch any scent of danger. And what she found brought fear to her heart. Dogs! Big ones!! And heading this way!!

Quickly she sprang to her feet and shouted to Gabriel. ::Come lir!! It is no longer safe for us here!!:: She snatched at his arm and gave him a yank. ::Please Gabriel... We must make haste away from this place.::

The tall warrior came away quicker than even his lir had thought, but he lay still and quiet tracing the threat. By the sound of it several hounds where on their tail. He looked to Rio. ::Can you scent them yet?

::Yes... They are wolf hounds.:: She whined softly in her throat. Men she would fight for Gabriel. Guns she would face. Whatever he asked of her she was ready, for his wounds where her wounds, and his pain hers. But a pack of dogs bent of chasing her down...

::Rio...:: Gabriel took a moment to kneel down and stroke the she wolf. ::They will not harm you. I swear it. To loose you would be to lose a peice of my very soul. We will run. And fight only if forced to.::

He looked around quickly before nodding to himself. ::To the stream then. It is our only chance.:: He waded into the cool water followed quickly by the wolf. She swam strongly up to his side and the rushing waters were lapping around his shoulders. ::Come Gabriel. I'm the stronger swimmer.::

Gabriel reached out and took ahold of her fur. As he allowed the wolf to pull him safely through the water he thought of all the reasons no one dared to cross this river. The beast people lived in those lands. Creatures who were not man nor were they beast, but some cross that he had only heard about in stories used to scare young Cheysuli from wandering to far from home.

::Stories!! All of them!! Have you ever SEEN one of these mixed up half people?::
