The little bundle of feathers and fur mixed together swayed in the lazy wind that breezed through the open window. The same window the Wolfdane siblings and their Demon jumped out of not too long ago. Apprehending a Mountain Creature and an unknown figure, that which was causing harm to the wall with their little ongoing battle. It wasn't much of a battle, just more of the Mountain Creature going a-wall. The little Creature stayed asleep the entire time, while the tremors shook the South wall with such force that it was starting to split.

The little Creature slowly awoke when all went quiet, it confused the little bundle not understanding such quietness since it was born. The Creature gathered its' wits and flew away from its' warm spot and flapped its self towards the stone window. It saw that the Wolfdane girl it was talking to earlier was petting another Creature, a bigger one at that. At first the little Creature didn't know what to do, was the Creature going to harm the Wolf-girl it came to know in such a short period and take her away from it. The little Creature stayed still for a while, trying to think things through, but every time it came to the conclusion that the beast was going to harm the Wolf-girl.

The little Creature puffed its' chest out, feathers and fur. Took its leave and dived towards the beast that dared to harm its Wolf-girl. At first the little Creature growled at the beast between the siblings, then when it saw the little Creature diving towards it the little bundle tried in vain to stop. But only met a chest, and soft one at that. The little bundle shook its feathery fur and glanced up to see none other than the human it wanted to save.

The girl smiled at the Creature, but gave it a confuse stare when the Creature tried to get in between her and the beast. The girl cooed at the little Creature that tried to escape from her grasp. The little cat-dragon Creature chirred at her, then growled at the Mountain Creature who try to come to close to the two. The Wolf-girl tried to calm the Creature down, and made hand gestures that everything was ok between the beast and her. The little cat-dragon Creature chirred grimly and rolled its eyes at the girl.

The cat-dragon Creature, fluttered back down to her hands and puffed a small black ring towards the beast. As if it was challenging the beast to try something, the car-dragon Creature glared with such intensity the Wolfdane siblings and the Demon that stood watching the scene, burst into laughter. Causing both Creature's to stare at the humans and the Demon, slightly confused. This laughter kept going on until the Wolf-girl cooed at the cat-dragon Creature, who in hesitant returned a chirring sound.

The Wolfdane girl introduced the cat-dragon Creature to the Mountain Creature. When the two met, the cat-dragon saw that this beast was just like it too. Another dragon brethren! The cat-dragon Creature chirped in happiness and swirled around the Creature, causing it to try and follow the little one with its own big body. The Mountain Creature couldn't quite keep up with the speed of the smaller one and slightly fell back. A little dazed, the Mountain Creature looked up as it felt a sudden weight on its head.

The Creature's chirred to one another, causing the Demon of the group to glance up from his own conversation with the two siblings. He came to a stop in front of the two lower class Creatures' and gave them a cold stare, the two were sure they were dead. But that didn't exactly happened, the siblings came to the Demon's side and bopped him on the head, yelling at him in their native language. It confused the Creatures' who kept staring at the three who acted like they were a mere friends, or even family.

The Creatures' chirred, gaining the Wolf-girl's attention, who was straddling the Demons shoulders, pulling some of his hair with hands and teeth. The Wolf-girl hopped down and gave her brother full access to beat his own Demon Guardian. The Wolf-girl walked up to the two Creatures, and gave them a toothy grin.
