Chocolus Familiarus

[Deleted]

Red XIII scrutinized the chocobos trotting contently around in their pasture with mild interest. Chocolus familiarus, more commonly known as the Chocobo. They were funny creatures. With their gawky legs and wide beaks, they looked something like a cartoon character that a child would idolize, or a meal (he licked his chops at that thought, but he would not dare try it. He was a cultured being) ,not a mighty steed. But who was he to decide? After all, he had no need for a mount, his four paws could carry him just as fast as one of these funny yellow birds. It wasn't a topic worth much thought, but analysis was most effective when clearing the mind.

The beast's single golden eye broke away from the odd birds and glanced briefly around the premises for passer byes. They could prove to be more trouble than they were worth. Those who didn't know him might believe he was only here to make a meal of the tamed creatures... as tempting as that sounded. With a small huff he shifted his haunches and rose to a lazy stand. Hmm... it might be wise to find cover. Oh yeah, there was little or no cover in open planes, one of the reasons they weren't among his favorite habitats.

Swift,

Something was coming in from the distance and moving fast the electrical charge around her body super-charing her muscles allowing quicker reaction then she already had a whole pack of wolves were chasing after her as she'd ran towards the chocobo farm seeing something that caught her eye across the plane she saw a bright glowing flame attached to something body was unmarred her body was perfectly fine as she'd countined to run revealing the fact she had a tail her long silver tail seemed to dancing around as if acting as a bait of some sort as she'd wove swiflt the high-grass working to her benefit as she'd noticed the creatures were getting closer suddenly her body spun around facing them the first wolf jumped coming towards her she'd reacted accordingly as it bared it's fangs aiming to take a chunk out of her.

Suddenly her palm flew forward with alot of force crashing into the dead center of the wolves face a fang and claw scratching her arm suddenly it'd be repulsed backwards it was obviously taking the full blunt of the blow actually stunning one of the wolves after she hit it she conutined to run the other wolves quickly looking back at their own before they began to peruse her again.

"
Hi

"

She'd yelled hoping that the thing with the flame could hear her.

The hair along Nanaki's spine bristled at the sound of a battle only so far away. Naturally, he whipped around to find the source of the racket and honed in on the girl fighting with a pack of wolves. On closer inspection he noticed that she had... was that a tail? Very interesting. He was already running towards the fight in graceful leaps moments before she called to him. He waisted no time in the preliminaries of growling and snapping that often occurred before a fight., instead sinking his teeth deep into the stunned wolf's spine and digging his claws into its flank. He held on with a hiss as it struggled beneath his superior weight. Unfortunately he was still too relaxed from his leisurely analysis and the wolf was able to slip away, whimpering and howling as it ran from the battlefield. Drat. He turned his good eye towards the fox-girl.

"Are you hurt?"

[sorrowfulangel]

Alert,

The pack leader would try to ambush Red-kun when he was dealign with the other but he'd be stopped as soon as he left the ground her body flew forward with ease suddenly her arm hooked around the neck of the wolf squeezing for a moment as it'd snarled trying to bite her flesh her other hand flew around it's neck suddenly her body coming downwards she'd pushed it's face into the ground as the rapid forces met suddenly the sonud of snapping bones seemed to linger sickly in the air as she'd slowly turned around a light stain of blood on her face from where the fang had punctured the wolf squirting her she'd slowly stood upwards the glow of her materia had ceased as she'd spun around facing the other reaching into her backpack pulling out a handkerchief.

Running it along her face cleaning off blood and sweat revealing a sweet young pale face her gentle honey colored eyes would graze over the other as she'd pushed off soon being near him once more her hand reaching outwards running her nails gently along his ears wondering how he'd respond the gentleness of her touch he might of felt a short shock as she'd stopped channeling magical flows to her materia it was obvious this girl was stronger when using magic if he'd noticed how she had faught her attack was magical energy and muscle.

"
I'm fine mister talking doggy-kun.

Nanaki tensed for a moment. His maw opened in the beginnings of a roar when the leader lunged for him, yet it was unnecessary. He was surprised to find that this maiden was quite capable of defending herself. Well... only slightly. One would automatically assume that someone with such intriguing features had at least a few tricks up their sleeves. He gave a sigh of relief, she was alright... so she did know how to fight (he would ignore the nickname, only one of many).

"I am relieved." he said simply. He allowed her to stroke him with no resistance, he was used to it, and to be honest, found it rather enjoyable. Ouch! The red creature withdrew from the shock that came from her touch, a look of surprise flashed in his good eye.

[sorrowfulangel]

Gentle,

She'd felt the shock to her hand would twitch once a side effect as from her magical aura she had been trying to calm down for a few moments as she'd countined to scratch behind his ear her body would crouch down she'd leaned forward and would probably surprise him as she'd leaned forward nuzzling against his face. She'd scratched some more for a few moments before she'd sit down her legs falling on either side of her as her honey colored eyes would gaze into his one golden eyes she'd had an apologetic look painted across her pale featureas she'd obviously felt bad she'd reached into the her pocket she had something it was a mineral tablet it was kind of flavored for a dog and such since she had some traits of a fox which were related more to a dog then a cat due to some features. She'd place it down it was laying in a wrapping of mint leaves.

"
Sorry, I accidently forgot about my magical field I use electrical energy to strengthen my own attacks to super-human levels.-

[Deleted]

(So sorry for the wait!)

Nanaki's ears flicked as the strange girl nuzzled him much like a dog would. Hmm... curious indeed. He was thoroughly curious now. His thoughts were overridden by the pleasure of being scratched and petted. Ah, that always got the best of him. But he found she had another surprise for him. The handsome creature caught sight of the mineral tablet and gave it a few testing sniffs. The scent was mouth-watering, at least, so he took it in his jaws and wolfed it up swiftly. Delicious! Elegant feline tail swayed gently back and fourth pleasurably. What was that? The branded animal looked up at the sound of the fox-girls voice.

"Interesting, most don't have such a mastery of magic, and even few masters have the power I felt from you. I am Nanaki, though most call me Red XIII."

[sorrowfulangel]

Happiness,

As she'd sit down her gentle pale figure from a distance appeared to be made of the smooth porcelain some dolls were made from. Her body seemed without marks so much like those dolls as she'd lifted her arms above her head laying out kind of stretching right now as a wind would flow around her body acting like a serpent spiraling. Her long flowing black hair seemed to cascade like the hair from black stallions mane. It was fine and and gave off a nice glow of healthiness. The gentle look in her eyes as she'd gazed ahead was so much like the horse's calm and seemed to go deeper then any well in the world an infinite pool of wisdom. The gentle gaze remained focused as if the other was a carrot as she'd focused pulling some of the grass from the ground bringing it between two fingers.

A slow release of wind from her lungs would occur slowly a low sound would begin to fill in the air like the sound of a horse walking across the ground it started out slow and calm before it began to pick up speed racing it was a song she had learned to play it sounded so natural and sorrowful. What horrible thing could make the young child feel the way she did even though she had the looks to be more beautiful without being vain she was still sad something plagued her mind. As a gentle salty tear seemed to ease it's way from the slowly creasing part of her eyes as her hands fell apart letting the single blade of grass fall to the ground joining her tear-drpp which would land on her exposed legs. Slowly it'd left it's trail like a river that flowed through the world washing away dirt and grim leaving a lighter pigment of skin tone. As she'd gazed ahead for a few minutes shaking her head before she debated weather or not to speak for am oment she decided to man up and talk her voice would crack though

"
Nanaki, what a pretty name.
"

This child... even still she continued to pique at his curiosity. She had such a story to tell, and he was so eager to hear it. Still, he must take it slowly, he must comfort her. Her sorrows were unknown to Red XIII, but he would not leave her, only a true monster could leave such a flawless, innocent girl to wallow in her sorrow. His good eye analyzed her gently as a tear fell down her face. He huffed deeply and approached her, plopping down beside her and caressing his flame-tipped tail around her, careful to hold away the burning end. The beast concluded that silence was the best option until the strange, perfect child decided to speak. He wouldn't force anything.

[sorrowfulangel]

Break,

Her armor was falling away from her mind and heart as she'd laid her head backwards resting on the warmth that was the other being behind her feeling safe for once in her life as if she was surrounded by a barrier. Just running her hands along the others frame for a few minutes as the tears countined to fall memories seemed to be resurfacing for once she felt as if she wasn't alone as if she could tell there was something different about this creature that lay beside her it was almost to good to be true. She felt safe and warm as if she was back in the cradle of her mother's arms remembering the feeling that always seemed to over come her body the gentle feeling of slumber as she'd lay there on his warm furry body her gaze drifting among the stars as her lips would part revealing the very pain in her heart.

"
I'll never forget the day I became free because in exchange for my freedom I lost something of much more value. I lost my parents those Shinra Bastards couldn't leave us alone after we escaped even though I torched them and froze them and even paralyzed so many of them they just kept coming and they'd gunned down my father first and left me and my mother to keep going until we got to a house laying in a plain I was hidden in a bush and my mother kept running.... she got shot a few times before she went down into a river.
"

After the first few words her voice was choked up and broken apart by sobbing she was in pain that no one could understand.
