Thread: Lost And Found (Ryax & Tracker)

RE Lost And Found He stood very still for a short while after he had heard the sound, making sure his presence was minimal to his surroundings. Night had almost fallen, the forest was quickly growing darker. Being of a cat type species of monsters, he didn't really have any major problems with his eyes dealing with the dark forest that now was about to surround him. Despite of this, his eyes could not see anything suspicious towards the noise. He was even unable to locate the exact point where the noise had came from although his ears had caught it coming from a direction, above rather then down on the ground. But for now it was as quiet as ever. He decided to quickly and carefully make his way towards some trees in the direction from which the noise had come. As he carefully climbed his way up one of the trees, his thoughts were straying a bit, focused on the noise as it was no noise from any ordinary forest being. Thoughts filled with hope were beginning to form. Hope that the noise would have come from something like another monster that he could convince to help him satisfy his growing hunger. He knew that his thoughts were far fetched as nothing usually entered the woods this deep or at this time. His village had never been found by any other beings because of its location so deep into the woods. Ryax had made his way up the tree, standing on one of the sturdier branches at a higher point that the tree had to offer. He was looking around, his eyes going all around the nearby trees, trying to locate any anomaly in the darkness that he could detect. His ears were twisting and turning, listening from different directions, trying to locate where the being was, hoping that it would make another noise that he could track it with. To his disappointment, he heard nothing. He located the closest tree and leapt towards it, landing himself quietly and gracefully on one of the thick branches at middle height. From this new position, he looked around again. A quiet noise followed by a dull thud, pierced the nightly silence as his ears twitched and instantly located where the sound came from. He quickly looked over at the position his ears had registered and saw the contours of something almost as black as the night, laying on the ground. Thinking it was one of his black furred brethren and sisters from another bloodline in his village, he happily jumped down from the tree and quickly made his way over to the fallen being. He happily started speaking as he made his way close to the shape in the darkness, Oh how glad I am that you followed me here! I got chased away by a human patrol and thought I was to die, lost in my own forest. A little while longer and I wouldn't ha.... He stopped in his tracks, his voice froze and his eyes widened as the ever so slight moonlight that passed through the tree top leaf work, revealed a pale face staring back at him. This was not one of his brethren or sisters of the village.. This was a human! A human female was somehow deep in the woods on his trail. Was this one of the humans that had attacked him before? His mind and a part of his survival instincts were telling him to escape and run as fast as he could, but his growing hunger and another part of his survival instincts were making him stay. He knew that if he ran away he might never get the chance to feed again. He knew that if he stayed, he might have to fight for his life again as he did with the other humans that attacked him. He was obviously very conflicted and ended up just standing there, frozen and just staring at the woman's face. He suddenly saw a large, seemingly powerful and heavy to draw bow laying closely to her and snapped to his senses and panicked a little. He drew his sword to defend himself against the potential threat. Why are you here.. Are you going to try to kill me? Are you with the group that attacked me before..?, he blurted out a couple of questions in succession as he tried to look threatening, trying to make the human woman not try to reach for any weapons. He was breathing a little heavy, as his hunger had grown largely with the energy he had wasted climbing and jumping around in the trees.
