[Razz]

Over rocks and logs, through bushes and trees, Rawk dashed toward "Blitz Keep," as the clan called it. Finally, he reached the first mountain and ran through the trail. As he zoomed through the pass, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were wide, and his mouth was open in disbelief. Rawk searched for a word to say ... but all he could do was clench his fists. He stood there ... not a thought in his head, not a movement in his body until finally, a drop of rain landed on his forhead as others dropped nearby.
Rawk released all of his energy in one movement - his chest out forward with his arms and legs leaning back - and he screamed with all of his might. He roared in dispair untill his lungs could not take anymore. Half-choking, he fell to the ground, splashing in the mud beneath him. He stayed there for hours ... cold and alone. He could not find comfort even in a star, as the clouds had covered the sky. At long last, a single thought sprung into his head that laid flat in puddle of mud.
" ... Akiko."
Slowly, Rawk lifted his body off of the ground and took one last look at the place he once called home.
"Goodbye," he said with a tear as he turned away and ran the way he came.
