Amanda lived in a small village in the country of Crag-more. The fields surrounding this area were she grew up, were all she knew. Amanda was a very pretty mix between a demonic beast, and human. Amanda's bright purple eyes shined with intellect. The shiny silver fox ears were atop her head were completely natural, as well as the fox tail flowing from her butt. She had long nails that very closely resembled claws. These being distinct features labeling her more than just human.

~Amanda's PVO~

I awoke as the sun rose in the morning in the late spring of my 13th year. I climbed out of bed, cleaned up buy the river, got dressed, groombed my hair, ears, and tail. I then grabbed my herb basket, and went off picking magical herbs and barries from the edge of the Dark Forest. After a while of searching and picking I suddenly looked up from picking magic and Princess grass. My ears up and alert, "I knew I heard something," I told my self. Suddenly out of the dark forest, a young man maybe a year or two older than I, he just barrels eyes full with fear and determination while running from the forest. "What is chasing him." I thought, as a loud cry came from the wood. I looked from the young man to the wood to see a very angry Ground Drake carging out of the wood tword the boy. The young man saw me and the town behind and tried to run away from town. Though the young man's attempts were futile because ground drakes and drakes in genral are not stupid. This ground drake then picked up speed towards town and attempted to pass me. Thats when I jumped in front of of the very angry ground drake and curtsied, I then pulled out my lunch made of rice, a cooked chicken leg with an egg that was to go on and mix in my rice. The drake huffed and smelled the food then ate all the food in seconds. It then looking very pleased and content with the outcome. Satisfied the ground drake then turned tail around and left the field and returning to the wood.

The young man approached me limping. How did you do that? I rolled my eyes and returned to my basket and continued picking my herbs. Seeing that I was ignoring him, the young man seamed obviously offended. He was obviously not use to being ignored. He then preceded to suddenly grab me by the arm, then yanked me to my feet. I turned my head to face I faced him not very pleased, I pinned my ears back, and yanked my arm from him. "What have I ever done to you?" I asked showing obviously that i was holding back my anger. The young man looking very shocked and nerved by the tone of my question and my body language. I sighed and put my hands on my hips. Looking at him very irritated, my ears still back. "You may be an adventurer but that doesn't give you the right to be reckless, hurt, and endanger others." I sighed picking up the herbs that I had picked, put them in the basket, as i picked up the basket. I then procedded to start walking. I then perked my ears up, Well are you coming to town or not, you are injured aren't you?" There was no response, he just look supprised. I sighed, "Fine follow me I'll take you to Mrs, Sara. Mrs, Sara is my teacher and friend, she can handle those injury's easily." I explained were we lived and are job's as I led the young man around the town to the edge of town were two shacks stood. "This one, the small one, was mine." I explained as I opened the door and let him in."Take a seat Ill be right back with Mrs, Sara. Oh and don't touch anything!" The young man nodded still silent as I set my basket down and left my shack. I then walked next door to Mrs Saras house.

I knocked on the door, "Come in Amanda you're shore done early." a voice inside shouted out. I open the door to reveal Mrs, Sara. A well built, strong middle aged women her long brown hair was in a ponytail and was standing in front of a large cauldron doing her craft alchemy being her apperintes I am always eager to learn new things. Also with my magic aptitude being as high as it is, the town wanted me to be a mage but I had other interests after meeting Mrs. Sara, alchemy. "Mrs Sara I found an adventurer that needs your assistance." Mrs. Sara sighed, "Well then, let's go I cant finish this now, now can I?" she forced a smile on her face, grabbed her cloak, her med kit and followed me to my place.

As soon as we entered the room the young boy jumped to his feet his eyes wide with dis be-leaf. "Sara is that you?" The boy asked. Mrs. Sarra froze at what the boy said and I was confused mrs, Sara looked at the boy cautiously the boy then got up, limped over to us and gave mrs. Sara a childish hug "Its me prince Leon." the boy explained. Mrs, Sara's eyes went from shock then softened and returned the hug gently. She then sat him down and started applying the medicine. "You can stay with us until you heal then I really must return you to the castle." The prince nodded. I then explained how i found the prince to Mrs, Sara. She shook her head in disappointment. The prince was was about to explain himself when suddenly, there were frantic scratching at the door.

I ran to the door to see the local young giant fox from the dark forest it was orfaned and i reased her. But she has not bean back in around a year, she was injured. The friend of mine was dragging a injured back leg. From what I could translate while fixing up her up was, "the darkness, coming to this town. All must escape, we defend home. You GO, go safety." I nodded, I then translated everything to Mrs. Sara, and prince Leon the information I just received, and that we must evacuate.

Leon stood, "What about the villagers they will need help! Sara please we must," Mrs, Sara interrupted the Prince, "Three of us and some armed villagers against an unknown threat. Prince Leon that battle will never be won we must retreat and return with reinforcements!" Mrs. Sara said sternly to the Prince. Discouraged the prince nodded in agreement. I then quickly changed into my combat gear, packed my bag, While Mrs, Sara and the prince got ready next door. I put my leather straps on my legs one on each leg. I then armed myself with my experimental weapons sliding them in to my straps on my legs.

Once that was done i grabbed my evacuation bag. I met up with Mrs, Sara and the prince between are homes. My friend the giant fox was there to watch us go. As I said goodbye to my dear friend we both shed a tear's. I hugged her she hugged me back with her neck. I then went to hold hands with the Prince and Mrs, Sara. We held hands as we opened a scroll to Leons fathers castle. All I saw were the orange fur on my fox friend's back raise turning to the wood, the fur down her back to the top of her tail continued to spike, and puff. I heard a snarl, and my friend yelp. Then suddenly conpleat darkness.
