Animal Girl of Sabertooth. Rogue x OC

Chapter Five

Plunking down in my room. I walk towards the sliding door of the balcony. Not before setting Frosch gently on the bed. "Rogue?" He glances at me, as does the two exceeds. "Please, cover for me... I need to go say my final goodbyes..." With eyes downcast, he nods his head. Jumping off the balcony, I take off in a sprint. Standing in the shadows. I watch a magic circle appear a metre from my feet. A grey motif hovering above the circle. Tingles erupting around my eyes, neck, spine, wrists and outer thighs. The places those marks cover my skins.

Squawking, a large bird arises from the circle, with most feathers as dark as night, with irises as red as blood. It's body large, from the tip of its beak to the tip of its tail feathers is around two metres. Some feathers are white, contrasting well with the surrounding black feathers. The motif pattern that was on the magic circle is patterned on the neck, underneath the beak. Gripping into the stone pathway are sharp talons to hold up the large body. The strong muscled legs attaching the talons to the body.

The head fits the body size, with six white feathers adorn on the head flying out in different directions like a headdress. The magic circle vanishing as the bird expands its large wingspan, proving twice its body size. A leather saddle prompt up on mid-back. Climbing onto the saddle, I click my feet into place. My body hunched on the saddle, not fully sitting down. "Fly. Lythious. Let us find Yukino. Quickly."

Lythious's head moves up and down. "Can do." He replies lightly. I smile faintly as the wings stretch lightly the talons release their grip in the ground, the wings flapping quickly, raising us instantly into the sky. The sun lowering over the horizon. Flying swiftly through the air, I look over the edges of him, I stare down at the street, bustling still with people. "I've caught her movements, She's... there..." My eyes widen. 'We're outside Honeybone...'

Lythious's talons latch onto the roof. Lowering ourselves closely towards the open window. "She's no longer here... Damn..." Taking off again, we hover above the city, too high for others to notice it's me. "Where is she?" I shake my head. "I hope she hasn't left... There!" I point down towards an off street. Swiftly flying down, I hover above the ground. The street thankfully empty. "Yukino!" A suitcase trailing behind her as her head jerks around to see me. Unstrapping my legs, I quickly slide off the back onto the stone street.

"Revelli-sama?!" Sprinting up to her, I embrace her in a tight hug, hearing the talons of Lythious gripping into the ground. "I'm sorry... So so sorry..." I mumble over and over again. Leaning back, I smile, tears unable to fall from my eyes as the patterns hold strong around my eyes and body. "What-..." Following her eyes towards Lythious. I smile. Gripping her hand, I slowly drag her towards him. Pressing her hand onto the feathered head. Her body trembling as she lightly trails her fingers over the feathers. "I should of did something... That bastard Jiemma..." Yukino stares at me as I clench my fists. "No... You shouldn't have." I give a very faint smile. "Yukino... I want to keep in touch... Stay in Crocus until the end of the games... Please, I beg you... So i know where you are going afterwards so we can write letters... I can visit... Just please..." Yukino smiles lightly. "I will... Don't worry."

Lythious rubs his head into my arm. "Revelli-sama?" I tilt my head, "Yes?" She shyly rubs her head. "Is there something between you and Rogue-sama?" My eyes widen. My arm no longer being rubbed yet now he's releasing strange noises. "Well, seemingly as if you won't tell anyone, Yes, We have been in a relationship since I joined. Only our exceed's know and now you. And, By the way, Rogue was beginning to question Jiemma's actions."

She smiles faintly. "Thank you..." She grips me in a tight hug. "I'll see you after the games... Please stay safe and I wish the best of luck to you." I smile. "As to you." Climbing onto Lythious's back, strapping my legs back into place. "Is this your magic?" I nod my head lightly. "I have many animals that I create, all strong and have magic power of their own, this little one has lightning magic." She smiles faintly, "Don't worry. Only when I say, he does. His name is Lythious."
