I was running quite aways ahead of everyone else, well, except Zero, who was so far ahead of me, I couldn't even see him anymore. My little fox legs were faster than a normal foxes would be, plus I was always running, so I had gotten good at it.
I was knocked off of my feet suddenly when something pounced on me. I rolled to the side and picked myself up, ready to attack whoever it was. No one messed with me!
"Im so sorry! Im just, I-ughhh!" said a little red panda. She obviously hadn't meant to tackle me, or at least she thought I had been someone else.
"Its okay," I shrugged, phasing to human form. I smelt the half breed's blood course through her vains. "Say, are you a half-breed? You can talk in this form. What's your name?"
"Im Moshimashi. What's a half-breed, exactly? And, could you tell me where I am? I need to find my brother..." she replied.
I frowned. Why was she so confused? And she didn't even know what she was? "You're in the forest. A half bredd is, well, a human that can turn into an animal. You didn't know that?"
She shook her head. I could tell she was confused and really needed someone right now. "Hey, Its okay. You said you needed to find your brother? I'll help. I promise. By the way, I'm Aphrodite." I told her.
I gently grabbed her hand and led her to the new friends I had just made, but they were still quite a ways, so I decided to head after Zero, where we would all meet up together. The tiger's scent was getting closer and closer, and I wondered how the tiger and Zero were connected. It was none of my business, and I shouldn't think about such trivial things.
"I'm going to morph now so that we can run faster," I told Moshimashi.
She nodded and phased too. I had to slow down a little so I wouldn't lose her, but she wasn't terribly slow, so it was ok. "We are almost there." The blood was just up ahead. I could sense that Zero was already there.
Continue?
I'm not too sure how Zero would act seeing Ariel, so I'll let someone else continue
