[ooc]Yay! Another not-so exciting adventure with...... MIZUKI! XD [/ooc]
Mizuki sighed. It was a really nice day out, and she was certain that everyone would enjoy it... if they were there. She was bored just cooking, and even though he needed care, the werewolf's wounds weren't serious enough to make Mizuki nervous or excited in any way. Mizuki, however, began wondering how everyone was doing. She stared into the boiling pot of soup. She began thinking of what they would be doing right now... and then began to worry about them, so she pushed those thoughts away. She decided finally that they would be ok as long as Corona and Tacaeus were there. Instead, she began to wonder about the werewolf and his motives. She began to wonder if he worked for Duraga or not, but she began to argue with herself about it because he didn't carry any sign of being with Duraga. But as she began to get onto finer details, Mizuki felt a chill run down her back from a tap on her shoulder. She turned around quickly, startled, and saw the werewolf sitting up. He was looking at her through eyes that twinkled, and showed surprise. Mizuki, thinking of what to do as she went along, cleared her throat.
Mizuki: "Good morning."
Werewolf: "Good morning..."
Mizuki: (!!) "...How do you feel?"
Werewolf: "Like I fell from a high cliff after being stabbed with something."
Mizuki: "Um....k...."
Werewolf: "....."
Mizuki: "....."
Werewolf: "....You're pot is overflowing."
Mizuki: "WHAT?! Oh my gosh!"
Mizuki turned around and put out the fire. Then she began to stir the soup slowly, but strong, until the soup finally settled down again. After doing so, she began to speak once more.
Mizuki: "Thanks."
Werewolf: "You are welcome."
Mizuki: "Ok, now sit up. I need to see if your wound is done healing."
Werewolf: *getting up* "Ok. I don't think it's going to heal so qui-"
Mizuki: *checking his abdomen* "Don't speak too soon.."
Werewolf: "Why?"
Mizuki: *stopped checking* "See for yourself."
The werewolf looked at himself. He was surprised to see that not only was the wound fully healed, but all the bruises and scratches he had ever gotten had disappeared, and never left a trace of it. He looked at Mizuki once more.
Werewolf: "Thank
you."
Mizuki: "It was nothing...honestly."
Werewolf: "...You're definitely not like most humans."
Mizuki: "What do you mean?"
Werewolf: "Most humans - that I have seen - try to kill my kind. You healed me, did you not? You proved yourself to be a very kind human, even though the kindness might be foolish."
Mizuki: "No kindness is foolish, except for the kindness that is used to decieve others."
Werewolf: "You speak wisely. However, do you know this for certain, or have you yet to see that as the truth?"
Mizuki: "I know this. This is the one of the few things I know for certain at the moment."
Werewolf: "Really? And what else do you know?"
Mizuki: *slightly violated* "Well, for one thing, I DO know that it is getting late. Are you hungry?"
Werewolf: *blinking* "Um..."
---FEW MINUTES LATER---
Mizuki and the Werewolf were sitting around the fire eating some soup, laughing and talking.
Mizuki: "And then I ran and jumped off the cliff, and, well, here I am!"
Werewolf: "That's so amazing! The world is so much larger than imaginable.."
Mizuki:"I know... But, what about you? What about your family and friends?"
Werewolf: *serious look* "....I'd rather not talk about it."
Mizuki: "Oh come on. I told you about my own family."
Werewolf: *sighs* "...Ok. Get comfortable."
*Mizuki shifted around until she sat on her legs delicately. Then she signaled him to talk.*
Werewolf's Story
Werewolf: "Ok... to make a very VERY long story short, it all started when I was really little. I was just about 5 years old, and my mother was really happy with how everything was. Our village was free and solitary, and very peaceful. It was very bad, however, with crops and food. It didn't have much to offer as far as eating went. The cheif was very stressed and couldn't think of anything to do. So, he did a dance to summon some Mages. They helped us with growing the crops, and we were happy with having enough to eat. However, in exchange for their help, they were to become the sole leaders of the village. They weren't bad however. They just didn't act like chief's, and they made rash decisions. My family didn't like it, neither did my friends, but we obeyed. We went on living like that for years, until a strange being came into the village. The vile fool defeated the mages, and because of that, he gained their control. They started to make us work like slaves, and they made us build temples for each of them, and even one for the fool who defeated them. They started to make us work to death, and one by one, they would take one of us away from our families just to do some strange unknown task. The ones chosen were never seen again. My mother and father told me a month ago that the village couldn't take this anymore. They told me to seek out someone who could also use magic... a human. So, I went searching for someone to help me defeat the mages, and I found you and brought you here."
Mizuki: "Explains a lot... but what made you think I would cooperate?"
Werewolf: "I didn't think you would without convincing."
Mizuki: "You thought wrong. You should have
asked me!"
Werewolf: "Well, it's just that the other humans I found tried to kill me, so I had to get you alone in a place where I could defend myself well."
Mizuki: "I suppose you're right about that."
Werewolf: "....So will you help me?"
Mizuki: "....well....Ok. But only because you asked me. Now, let's get some sleep, so we can continue in the morning."
Werewolf: "Sure."
Mizuki: "..Oh! I never caught your name!"
Werewolf: "Really? Oh, well my name is Fang. Yours?"
Mizuki: "Mizuki."
Fang: "Ok.... happy?"
Mizuki: "Yes. Now let's get some sleep so we can go to your village tomorrow."
Fang: "Goodnight."
And so Fang fell asleep in under a few minutes, and so did Mizuki after imprinting that Fang needed her help and that her friends were fine on their own. I mean, it wasn't like they were going to joing Duraga's team or anything.
[ooc] It's soooooo BORING! But I promise, It'll get a bit more... dramatic. You can count on it.[/ooc]
