Rick left taking the short route back down south to his home. Pedro stowed away on a pirate ship, which eventually made it back to his old home as well.

When Rick returned home, he discovered that the place was being infested with giant insects. The tribe had been holding off just fine, but a message went around for all the tribes to meet in "The Diliad," a safe haven for the tribes of foxes, and various other creatures that were allies with them. Rick decided to help thwart whatever evil was plaguing the land to create these giant insect beasts...

[RavendorFoxx]

Rick helped his tribe travel most of the way before leaving to find Magnus to get some information. Apparently, these giant insects are everywhere. In fact, Rick and Magnus end up fighting some of them before Rick leaves to investigate some more.

After he leaves Rick ends up meeting an insect looking dude named Thurgid`Lar, who claims to be the creation of Drek`Thar. He had returned to the castle for instruction only to find a smoldering ruin. He found out that it was Rick and Ravendor who caused that destruction, so he created a bunch of insects to go find them.
Unfortunately for Thurgid`Lar, Rick was well trained by this time, and Thurgid didn't stand a chance. So, Thurgid left and vowed to return to destroy both him and Ravendor when he was more powerful.

Soon afterwords, Pedro appeared feeling a familiar presence. Rick and Pedro were reunited. Rick and Pedro took off to find Thurgid and destroy him before this plague got any worse.

[RavendorFoxx]

Rick and Pedro journeyed towards the Vampyre city to find Ravendor. Rick asked Ravendor telepathically to ask for help from the Vampyre army, but Mekai's sister was reluctant to help. They didn't want to get mixed up in another conflict like the one they had with Drek and becoming enslaved again for 200 years.

So, they traversed through the woods to get there and speak with the queen. However, a bat appeared unexpectedly and stopped them. He seemed friendly enough, until he kidnapped Pedro and took him to his cave in the side of a cliff. Rick pursued and was met by a thousand small insectivore bats as well as some elemental flame and ice.

[RavendorFoxx]

Rick kept the bats off with a weak ethereal barrier. Then, Nian stepped in and blasted Rick out the cave entrance with a fireball from his walking stick... Rick was left unconscious for a while.

When he came to, Nian AND Pedro were hovering over him. Pedro made sure Rick didn't have a cuncussion. Apparently, Nian was just trying to get their attention to ask for some help. They seemed a little preoccupied and so he was forced to take more drastic measures.
Rick and Pedro became good friends with Nian, even after the big mistake.
Pedro got shown the enormous library with texts on ANYTHING... or just about...

THEN, they met Cheese! Cheese is a pink fruit bat, always happy, innocent, and playful. Apparently, Nian created him by accident a few years back when he spilled pomegranate juice into his minion concoction. He was attempting to create his most useful helper, one that could disenchant barriers and enchanted items, as well as have a highly developed regeneration ability so he could live past more than one disenchantment.

[RavendorFoxx]

When they had settled down a bit, Rick was going out to find Thurgid`Lar. However, Thurgid showed up at Nian's doorstep screaming for Rick. Rick went down to fight him, but Thurgid was just there to taunt him saying that his wife had been captured and was being kept prisoner. Unless Rick showed up at his castle within 40 days, she was doomed to death.
Rick was furious, and attempted to kill Thurgid on the spot, but he had recently grown wings, and was able to escape easily.

Nian suggested that Rick take a rest, that he'd been tense for too long and needed a short vacation. Rick was incredulous towards such a request. But, after much badgering and persuading, Nian got Rick to go with him to a very special place in the forest.

[RavendorFoxx]

((Pedro))

Pedro stayed at the cave and read for a while. Cheese kept him company being the adorable bat that he is, and became friends with Pedro.

((Rick))

In the meantime, Rick went with Nian to a special place in the forest. It was a large clearing, and many rodents, bats, and other small furry woodland creatures were having a huge party.
Rick was upset that Nian would take him to a party when his wife was in peril, but Nian eventually got him to calm down and have some fun. ((Cue "The Hamster Dance" )) Rick became the life of the party with his break dancing.

[RavendorFoxx]

The next day, Rick was asked to help the rodents with a problem. The reptiles were growing in numbers, and soon a battle was to be waged, but the rodents had no fighting skills. They wanted Rick to be the commander and general. Rick agreed, and he taught the rodents basic fighting skills with spears, bow and arrows, and so on.
Among the rodents was one special hamster who could create a powerful lightning bolt to shock anything with hundreds of volts within a 10 foot radius and a master archer squirrel named Sassy. Both had great potential.

Eventually, the battle came. Hundreds of lizards and snakes poured out onto the battle field, but the rodents held them back. When the battle seemed almost over and the rodents the vitors, a dragon ripped through the forest and began to trample and feast on them all. But, Rick leapt into battle to fight it off. As Rick was fighting the ferocious beast, the hamster came and shocked the dragon, turning its spine into charcoal... They celebrated afterwards.

[RavendorFoxx]

During their travel back to Nian's cave, Rick met a shy black and green cat who was very reluctant to speak to him, and wanted to disappear into the shadows, literally. But, she said that the shadows were acting strangely lately. Apparently, they were getting warm.
She also explained that she was on a quest to find a certain fox that had saved her life over one thousand years ago when she was a kitten...
Eventually, she disappeared after Rick answered a few questions for her...

When they got back to the cave, Rick found Pedro in the library. Rick felt a need to contact Ravendor to see if he could get the vampire army to help. Unfortunately, the queen wasn't up to getting involved in world conflicts after the last disaster. So, Ravendor was caught in a web of politics to try and get help...

Meanwhile, Thurgid'Lar went to pay a visit to Ravendor.

[RavendorFoxx]

Ravendor battled Thurgid, but was unable to harm him before he disappeared, leaving a few rather large insects behind him for Ravendor to mop up. Even after that bout right at the gates of the Vampyre city, Mekai's sister still refused to let Rick and Ravendor have use of the army. Ravendor reluctantly told Rick about what happened. RIck decided that he would have to face Thurgid`Lar and his giant insect host on his own. Meanwhile, Ravendor continued to plead for help before this plague of insects destroyed everything...

[RavendorFoxx]

As Rick prepared at Nian's cave, Mogget appeared to ask more questions, and to try to help. She felt somehow Rick was connected to her quest. During the time she stayed there, Pedro fell in love with her, which caused some problems, because Mogget was unstable...
In one such unstable incident, Rick and Nian left Pedro and Mogget alone to pursue a clue as to Thurgid's abilities. When they returned, Mogget was on a rampage, engulfed in black flames, attempting to murder Pedro. Pedro wasn't resisting either, only asking why. Apparently, she didn't have much control over her body at that moment. The shadows seemed to be taking over her slowly.
Rick was able to stop her from killing Pedro. A short fight ensued, and Mogget disappeared into the shadows, apologizing and vowing never to return. Pedro was upset, but he was able to get a medallion from her to always remember her.

[RavendorFoxx]

Soon, Rick, Pedro, and Nian left to go find and fight Thugid`Lar. On the way, Rick howled for Magnus and his pack to come and help them fight the insect host that would inevitably be waiting for them at Thurgid's citadel.
Also along the way, Rick got a message from Ravendor that the Vampyre army was revolting against their current queen and readying to come help Rick fight. RIck was, of course, elated at this good news...

[RavendorFoxx]

Rick arrived at a hilltop overlooking a vast desert with a large abandoned looking stone castle only a mile away. Thurgid`Lar must've been known he was coming, because a huge host of locusts, beetles, cockroaches, bees, mosquitos, and other insects in giant proportions were waiting there.
They began to advance. The vampires arrived with catapults, archers, and spearmen. They were outnumbered 100 to one, but Rick knew that if he could defeat Thurgid, they would all disperse.
The insects advanced, and the catapults shot fiery balls of napalm before charging in with spears at the ready...
Nian grabbed Rick as he flew towards the castle, as was their plan. Giant flying insects blocked their path, but they were able to make it to the castle, if only to be stopped by a significantly different looking Thurgid`Lar...

[RavendorFoxx]

Nian flew off into the castle to find Vixen, as Rick fought with Thurgid. Rick wasn't doing so well, and Thurgid seemed to have adopted a dark energy to combat Rick's ethereal energy specifically.
Just in time, Vixen showed up to help Rick, and they fought together. But, in the end, it was Nian and Cheese that saved them.

The insects disappeared in clouds of green smoke, and the day was won. However, the rumbling of this dispersal caused the castle to lose a few pieces, and they fell where Rick was standing just moments after a portal opened up underneath him taking him to an alternate dimention...

[RavendorFoxx]

Now, from here on out, there are a thousand small adventures that take place. The gist is that RIck was hurled into separate dimensions by a powerful and wise Avatar to train him for some event that would take place in his own dimension eventually. He endured many trials, and traveled the dimentions for approximately 500+ years, purging evils in each one without aging a single day...

Some adventures include a trip to a magical land full of dragons where he meets a Xohph Kcayj who relentlessly destroys villages, and kills thousands. Rick finds him and discovers he's his long lost brother Jack... Jack had been searching for him for a very long time to seek revenge... Jack eventually commits suicide while asking for RIck's forgiveness. The suicide is unsuccessful and he ends up joining Rick to defeat a band of powerful werewolves.

There's an adventure where Rick meets up with a pirate captain who is a parrot. The Parrot is in love with a paradise bird of an enemy nation. Multiple issues arise that say he cannot be with her until a rival pirate shark kidnaps her and they have to go rescue them...

My favorite is one where he enters a desert and meets a fennec fox names Wesley who happens to be an elemental mage. They end up searching for some ultimate treasure to defeat 3 raging warlords and a race of scalies with a dragon as a pet.

There's a nascar race with rockets, missiles, boosters, and a singing polar bear. There's dimentions where a game or tournament decides who rules the government. There's dimentions where the humans control magic, and the animals control technology. There's worlds where there is no magic. There's worlds where if Rick were to use any of him magic, it might disrupt the fabric of space and time, causing total destruction. He goes through every climate, every technological era, every evil possibly imaginable, and has to help purge every one.

The next adventure is the last one in these dimensions. On earth, taken over by the Tilkibitki of Kahikite. A canine-like species with the ability to transform, and their eyes constantly change with their moods... Rick's last trial is with one such Tilkibitki woman, named McKaela Kaiyou of the Xavier Legion...

[RavendorFoxx]

Rick arrived at the new dimention already anxious to leave. He didn't know when it would eventually end, only that the avatar promised some day it would.
He arrived in a swamp and made his way to a large village called Kahikite where strange canine-like beings watched over the humans with almost distaste for them. The humans to some degree despised the canines, but never said anything against them, only avoided them as much as possible.
When Rick entered the village, he came across some problems with the guards, but luckily the captain of the guard, a female tilkibitki named McKaela Kaiyou, General for the Xavier Legion, took some interest in him and allowed him into the city on grounds that he stayed out of trouble.
