Rayo, a 15 year old wolf/hyena hybrid and his crew of misfits travel across the world in search for an ancient monument, The Lost Ark. It is said that the one who seeks it shall be granted with great power and wisdom. Rayo and his crew aren't the on...
A dry tongue, a sandy coat, sore paws and blurry eyes... "Why the hell did I say I could walk here.." Rayo muttered, his dark brown coat coated in sand.
He had been walking on the hot and sandy plains for days now, searching for a place to stay. Of course he hadn't found anything and had just ran out of water, surely he will die if he doesn't find food, water or shelter soon.

About 20 minutes later, he came across an old town, looked just like in the Wild West movies, plain, dusty, bare, filthy.

As Rayo dragged himself through the bare streets, the towering beige houses glared at him , a wooden building then came into view, rusty red lettering spelt ~Saloon~. Rayo took a breath, his dry mouth salivating just thinking about water, he stepped in.
The smell of beer and smoke filled his lungs and the sound of gossiping animals could be heard throughout the entire bar. Rayo stepped up to the wooden table and ordered a water. Several side glances shot at Rayo, he could practically feel their glares burning holes in the back of his head, even the bar tender seemed unfriendly , all he did was grumble at Rayo, after receiving his water, he immediately chugged it, it tasted like mud and worms but his mouth was no longer dry.

As the bar tender was staring at him while he sat there, Rayo had no clue that he had to pay for water, it was only until the bar tender spoke in a grumbling voice till Rayo realized, searching through his satchel, he didn't have any money. (What an idiot)

As Rayo muttered to the bar tender that he hadn't any money, several of the customers stopped and stared. Embarrassed, Rayo was about to go to the bathroom to think about how to get out of the situation, but as he got up, the bar tender yelled at him, demanding money.
Rayo didn't know what to do, the bar tender's fist came flying at him , without even thinking, Rayo grabbed his glass and smashed it on the bar tender's head, sending flying shards everywhere and the piercing sound quieting the room.
All he could do was run..
Sprinting from the scene, Rayo fled to an alleyway and hid behind a barrel. Rayo was quite short, and thin so he just squirmed into a little ball, and hoped not to be found.
" Who the hell are you..!?" A surprised voice came from behind him. "Wha-" Rayo turned to find a tall fox-like vixen with purple eyes and a huge tail. "R-Rayo.. who are you?.." "Why the hell are you here!? Scram!" The vixen growled. (Muffled yelling) "Ah Shi-" The vixen snarled before having Rayo's paw clasp over her mouth. "I need your help, please, these lunatics wanna kill me!" Rayo whined. Before the vixen could refuse, the crazy bar tender came up and kicked Rayo in the stomach hard. *GAH-* *Groan* The vixen punched the bar tender in the face and grabbed Rayos paw, pulling him out of the alleyway and heaving him up into what appears to be an unattended stranger's horse and cart.
Rayo and the vixen dash across the dirty road for about 12 minutes before finally getting far from the town, Rayo turned to the vixen, "so, what's your name then?" The vixen looks at him, her nose scrunched up, then continues focusing on the road, "Timber.." She soon mumbles. "Ah, mines Rayo" "Rayo?" "Mhm" "What's with the button eye?" The question caught Rayo off guard, he wasn't sure whether to tell Timber what really happened or not. "Oh, I.. lost my eye to an accident and couldn't find an eye patch..." (Worse excuse ever)
Rayo had a blue button sewn to his left eye, or at least where it should have been, the scene was horrible when it happened, about 5 years ago, when Rayo was just a little pup, a beast with a shaggy grey coat, blood red eyes, and fangs as sharp as blades burst into his den, killed half his litter leaving only him, his brother and his sister who they had lost during the attack, the beast caught ahold of Rayo, tearing his left eye out, both of his parents were brutally slayed and both Rayo and his brother escaped while the beast was busy with their parent's lifeless bodies. The flashback made Rayo's eyes water, biting back his tears, he sat there, staring at the sunset it was beautiful, reds, oranges, purples and pinks created a beautiful show of colour.
"Thank you.. by the way.." Rayo manages to say. "Don't thank me yet buttons"
