Meet Aphrodite

I could hear the hunters in the forest, and they had forced me into hiding. Because I was white, there was no camouflage for me in the forest. I had to stay in holes to keep out of sight. And I was a long way from my burrow. As I was running in and out of holes in the trees and burrows in the ground, I caught the scent of half breeds, like me. The scent of blood also made its way to me, but that was farther away, so I decided to head towards the half breeds.

I took a roundabout and headed towards the scent. Looking through the brush, I found a Panther, a little fox/raccoon looking thing Foxcoon?, and a mongoose all fighting for their lives. Two dragons were fighting a ways away. I saw one hunter coming up behind the Foxcoon, who was not aware.

Jumping out from my hiding spot, I jumped onto the hunter's head and turned my body enough to bite his neck, taking out his vocal chords. Kicking him to the ground, I jumped to the little creature's side.

"T-thanks," she stammered.

"Watch out!" I called as I jumped up, kicking the hunter's chest. Sure I was only about two feet tall, and maybe a few inches over a foot in length, I was much stronger than your average fox. I was able to kick the hunter back into the trees.

"T-thanks a-again!" she cried.

I flashed her a smile as I helped fend off the hunters. When we had knocked out as many as possible, I turned to the little Foxcoon. "Introductions were never made. I'm Aphrodite."

She smiled slightly too, "Asuka."

Asuka and I made our way to the panther and Mongoose and the Dragons. They all gave me a curious look and I morphed into a human. "I'm Aphrodite!" I smiled at them. "I'm a half breed just like all of you."

"Io."

"Seth."

"Kovu."

"Zero."

"Nice to meet you all. What are you guys doing here?" I asked. It seemed strange for so many half breeds to be in one place, especially when I had thought I was the only different one all my life.

"Actually, there are more of us. We got seperated. But, this is just a pit stop on our way to Harmony," Kovu told me.

"Harmony? As in the legend? I'm sorry to tell you, but there is no such place. Believe me, I've looked," I told them. "And just how many of you are there?"

Kovu glared at me, "There is too such a place."

Io replied, "There is quite a bunch of us. Why?"

"Well, I'm catching the scent of a few more half breeds. I smell," I paused. "Do you have a tiger half breed in your group?"

Zero's eyes flashed, "Yes, why?"

"Well, I'm picking up the scent of her blood. I think she is in trouble."

Zero was gone before I could even finish the sentence. I shrugged and started to the scent. I wanted to meet these other halfers.

*So, what do you think for my first post? And I thought I should try to get a few more people together. Let me know what you think!*
