(( I could not think of anything. Lol. Anyways, here you are, October. ))

Silver stepped carefully across a fallen tree. Beside her, Adurna trudged playfully. Her wings fluttered casually against the wind. However, instead of flying, she simply used them as entertainment. The action forced a smile upon Silver's face. Lowering the cloak, she allowed the hood to fall against her back.

Adurna and Silver stared at each other for a moment. Deciding to take a rest, Silver sat against the fallen tree. She patted her lap carefully. Almost as suddenly, Adurna jumped up. The catlike creature curled and closed its eyes. Feathering her wings, she placed them against her fur. Silver thought that she would fall asleep.

'I doubt it is safe to be wandering around here' The familiar thoughts trudged through Silver's mind. Glancing down, she noticed one of Adurna's eyes staring back. She was always so cautious. Then again, that was probably a good thing. Silver was spared many fights thanks to Adurna. "Really?" She questioned, though knowing the answer. Adurna did not answer as she closed her eye. Then, 'I guess I can't stop you.' That was probably true. Once Silver had found something to do, she would not simply walk away. And these lands sparked curiosity.

"I wonder what creatures live in these swamps." Silver began petting Adurna's head. She had no idea, in all truths. But she was not worried. After all, she had her bow. And of course she had Adurna. Well, not that Adurna could do too much. She was still young. But Silver had faith that, if she needed her, Adurna would help her.

'I still say it is dangerous to be here.' Silver sighed. "Its not like I am forcing you to come along. You can always stay behind." Adurna looked up to her. A look of slight contempt crossed the creature's face. Silver knew that she had said the wrong thing. Besides, she did not want her to go either. They had never been separated. Ever since that first day, when Adurna hatched, they had been together. 'Right. Because that is a perfect plan.' Adurna merely sat on Silver's lap now, gazing up at her. 'I'll go. Still, I don't like it.'

'See?! I told you!' Adurna turned her head suddenly, hearing the odd sounds. She quickly jumped from Silver's lap and landed carefully on the ground. "Alright." Silver stood again. Looking over, she patted Adurna's head comfortingly. "Its alright, though. You have me." Smiling slighty, Silver looked down. Adurna gave a look of anger. Tilting her head, she appeared to roll her eyes. 'An amazing defense.' The catlike creature grinned, showing her white fangs, as if laughing at her. Silver smiled too. Why not? There was no reason to be angry with her. "Better than you."

Silver moved closer, trying to get a better look. Adurna followed from behind. Coming to an overturned tree, she stuck her small head under, where a small hole appeared to be. It was a good way to see without actually having to get close to the noise. On the other hand, Silver went for the direct approach and simply walked towards it. 'What do you think it is?'

Silver watched as the ratlike creature swam through the water. It's odd appearance forced curiosity into her head. It looked so odd, not to mention the darts in it's back. She knew it was being followed. After all, it was running away, and it had bloody weapons in it's hide. Of course she did not know why anyone would chase it. The creature was rather disgusting. 'What in the world is it!?' Silver was wondering when Adurna would speak to her again. But she did not reply. Why her friend thought she would know was beyond her.

Suddenly six figures appeared. They were chasing the creature, just as Silver had predicted. Well, in a way. Their appearance seemed to be like a human. There was differences, however. Still, Silver was not human either. So obviously she had no reason to talk. But they were different, and they forced her to forget about the rat. Apparently she had the same effect. As they stopped, one made it's way towards her. 'Silver? We do not even know who they are. Or what they are...' Adurna lowered her head closer to the ground. From the hole, she could easily see Silver and the approaching figure. 'Be careful.'

Silver would have spoken to Adurna. However, with the appearance of these people, she thought it best to not speak. She did not want to give Adurna away, just in case they were hostile.
