The black figure moved through the borders of the Pridelands not even thinking some might see her as a threat. She didn't care though, didn't care at all. She needed someone, to find someone, something. Rage felt like she was turning into an empty shell. Perhaps there was someone here, Jini, or even Siltim. Someone, anyone. She felt so alone now. That Kinari..he had made her feel terrible.
Rage flopped into the tall green grass. Blades covering her wings from any outside view. Should she even be here? She felt torn, like she was falling apart inside. She wasn't sure where to go, where to rest, where to go hide. She sighed, and took a deep breath, peered around with her silver eyes. She wondered if everyone else, had a happier life.

Od rested in a nice clearing under a young acacia. His family was not far, he could go back whenever he wished it, as long as it was before nightfall. He had amusement in chasing around a couple of butterflies that seemed to flutter around the flower that the cub had gotten stuck up in the tree. He had long forgotten the flower and now had his attention of the bugs that seemed to aways be out of his reach. Curses. Oh well, it was still fun.
The cub jumped up and clapped his hands together to try and grab one. They looked nice. As soon as he landed he would try again and again, giggling and chuckling as he failed each time. When he jumped, he would give a slight growl and lunge up again. He got down, crouching low before jumping up again, missed and fell back onto his back, hitting his head on the ground.
"Myru...."
He murred as he sat up, rubbing the back of his head.

She heard something, low at first, then a voice...least she thought it was a voice. She curled up in her spot in the grass, tried to peak out from the blades to see if anyone was nearby. She only saw butterflies, was she going insane? Rage shook her head and looked around more, saw a mass of green...something. What was it?
Rage slowly stalked towards it, curious to see what it was. Least she could find some amusement here. Seemed like her friends here were not around. She sighed, Rage wondered if she would be alone forever.
That might happen she knew.
Who would want a monster like her around?
As she got closer, she saw a mass of green...fur? That bright green thing was a cub? Interesting. She sighed softly, cubs, so full of life. Must have a great family she mused. But she sat in quiet, just watching him.

The cub looked up again, watching the butterflies flutter around the flower again. Then it hit him, maybe if he climbed the tree, he could catch them. Carefully, he stalked around the back of the tree, climbed it slowly like a profession...okay, profession by his standards is just making it up the first inch. He moved slowly and made it to one of the lower branches. Still a ways to go....again climbing he made it to the next and the next. By the time he reached the top, the little ones had rested themselves on the said flower. He reached a paw up when something dark caught his attention.
Out in the grass was a big black thing. With his short attention span, he had forgotten the flower and the butterflies and hopped down the trunk of the tree. Now he had something better to do. He chuckled and moved in the direction of the big black thing. He sniffed around, unable to see anything in the tall-grass. Then he hit something.
"Mryu?"

Rage watched as the cub climbed the tree, then descended."Where did he go?" she peered around, but not too long after, something hit her nose. Her silver eyes met the cub's eyes, both of there noses touching for a moment, Rage is utter shock.
The cub was sneaky.
She pulled back, sat up and looked down at him, tilting her head. Was that teh cubs way of saying hello? She pulled her wings against her back tightly, and just peered down at him. So small, so very small. She offered a faint smile, softly said, "Hello."
She wondered why he was out here all alone.

The cub had never really learned personal space and saw the nose-nose thing as a sign of play. He quickly hopped onto her back and leaned over her shoulder.
"Myru! Myru!"
He cried happily, purring deep down in his belly for her. At least, he thought it was a her. Looking behind him, he saw something weird. They looked like extra legs or something. Maybe he'd grow some too if he was a girl. Purring, he started to chew on her fur lightly.
This cub...was just weird.

"Mryu?" Rage said in return, tilting her head. Before she knew it, the cub was on her back. She didn't want to get up and move for risk of him falling and getting hurt. That would be a seriously bad thing to do. Especially if his parents were around here somewhere. She spread her wings out so that he could walk on those if he wished as well.
Might as well let him have some fun.
Mryu certainly couldn't be his name though. "What's your name?" she asked softly, trying to be not intimidating, last thing she needed was a crying cub and there parents coming to try and maul her.

"Myrod~"
He purred as he hopped off her shoulder and down to her back. He reached out to her wings. They were soft and strong too. He hopped toward the other one, just the same. They were big! Od purred and pounced at it. He giggled and moved up to his head. She was bigger than anyone else in his family. More stuff to play with! He moved up to her head and propped himself up so that he would not fall back. His claws digging slightly and he started to chew on her fur/hair happy. The cub's pur grew louder with each passing moment. He was really enjoying this.
"Mryt mrur Mram"
He mumbled through the maw ful of fur. Though it sounded just like his "words" even without the fur.

Rage listened, was beginning to wonder if he hadn't learned to talk quite yet. But the beginning 'mry' was there every time. Perhaps the child just couldn't get rid of that yet? But the end, Od, Od? That was his name? It was a rather odd name, but that was alright. Who was she to judge others names by?
What should she tell him? Definitely not Ryu, it would be hard for him to say amongst other things. She sighed, might as well use the second half, "Rage..." she said with a nod. She wasn't enjoying the gnawing of his teeth on her fur, but it was alright. He was just a playful cub after all.
Couldn't tell him no and make him cry.
Though she couldn't help but think he looked like someone she had met before...

"Rage!"
He could speak her name perfectly. Actually, he could speak perfectly, it was his choice not to. He stopped chewing for a moment and began to lick at where he had gnawed on her. With that done, he let go and rolled down her back and ended up beside her tail, the cloud of dirt settling from when he fellt.
"Myru!"
He shouted as he tried to whack the rather large tail. If it was anything like his family's it would move again and again and again and just give him endless times of fun. He raised a paw up high and dropped it down to a swipe.

Okay..perhaps he could talk fine after all? It gave Rage a slight ache of pain in her head, trying to figure it out. It had been a while since she had been around cubs. But for some reason, she didn't feel like Od was in any danger with the beast inside of her. The darkness seemed to subside, not really want to hurt Od, which was a very good thing.
She felt as he slid down her back, then swiped at her tail. She craned her neck around to watch him, so he liked they did he? She flicked her tail up, so that the fluff of fur tapped him on his forehead slightly. She smiled faintly, she never felt so...she wasn't sure what to call it.
But the feeling was nice.
Who did Od remind her of?

Hit, he blinked for a moment as if he had no idea what had just happened. In a way, he didn't. He stared at the tail and tilted his head.
"Myru?"
Was it mad at him? Why did it hit him? Did he hurt it that much? He crouched down and pounced at it, grabbed it and licked it. Purring. He wanted to apologize. After feeling as it had enough of his apologetic purrs, he climbed back up Rage's back and got back onto her shoulder again, purring. He liked to purr it seemed.
"Rage...Myrome!"
he cried, flailing his arms lightly and lauhging like a cub.
"Myrome! Myrome!"
Od pointed out past the trees to the trees. He wanted to get home.

Rage watched as he licked and snuggled her tail...she would so need a good bath after this. Od seemed to like to lick and gnaw on anything he could get his little paws on. But...he was cute, she had to admit it. It made her want to have a family, but she figured it was near impossible for someone like her.
"-ome? Home?" She looked towards where he was gesturing, did he want a ride home? She shrugged and started to pad towards where Od has pointed. Perhaps she would meet his family...but, maybe that wasn't such a good idea. They might think she was trying to take him away.
She had come this way before though..
Then it hit her! Siltim! Od must be his brother or something..even maybe his son? She lowered her eyes to the ground for a moment, everyone was having a better life filled with joy. She wondered why Od wanted to go home so soon? Perhaps he just wanted a nap.

A soft yawn escaped his maw, quickly shaking his head vigorously to shake him of his sleepiness. He wanted to keep playing but it was around this time that he fell asleep. Maybe his mom was out looking for him or maybe his dad had already put everyone else to sleep and went with her. Either way, someone had to be looking for him, right?
"Home..."
He purred as he relaxed himself down on her shoulders. A soft smile and a quiet purr. He was content where he was but he knew he would have to get down and waddle off to his family again. But he wanted to play really really badly. Stupid drowsiness...
He licked at her shoulder softly as his head nodded off and on. This walking motion of hers was making him even more tired. How strange....
He yawned again.

He was tired after all. She figured from his yawns. So she moved slowly, tried to make it so he wouldn't fall off if he fell asleep. It was cute though, having Od be on her back, acting so cute. Rage wondered if all cubs were like this? The dark part of her wanted to steal Od away. But she couldn't do that, he already had a home., a family. She didn't want to have a family where she committed sins to get one.
Rage stopped when she got close to where he pointed, she looked around, it did seem like there were places for families to reside close to here. She didn't want to venture too far. Slowly she lowered herself to the ground, spread her wings off so he could use them to get down if he wanted.
It was sad, that he had to go home.
She wanted him to be her friend...a young friend, but Od was so...different.
Something about him made the beast inside of her calm.
