Little Llune could not make out the rusty hue of this wolf's fur, nor hear any of its thoughts. She leaned back against a tree on the far side of the clearing, her eyes fixed upon the sining orbs beyond the light of the fire. Somehow, Llune's instinct said "predator," and said, "be afraid."
Her breathing was shallow as the small elfin child tried to blend in with the background.

The wolf moved forward. Coming into the firelight the animals lips peeled back in a frightful growl, showing sharp teeth. The elders gasping as they clamored together looking for weapons. The wolf seemed to not notice as its eyes remained locked with young Llune. When it was nose to nose with her and she could feel every hot breath that escaped she heard a voice in her head. It was feral and confused. Full of anger and the feeling of betrayal, *What am I?*

 By the firelight, among the group of first comers looking to survive as their soon to be mountain home was shaped into something akin to shelter, brilliant blue-green eyes turned toward Llune and the wolf. Face young and bright, a darkness crept forward as she plucked the sending from the air, one dark raven brow arching high on her forehead. For the moment, however, she stayed in the background, listening and watching.

Llune had not even the slightest idea how to react. She trembled. Her mouth opened and then closed again. She didn't blink, her grey eyes wide and reflecting the firelight.
Reaching up, as if in a dream, Llune's tiny child-like hand hesitantly strokes the enormous creature's cheek, still not looking away, and continuing to breathe shallowly. She must have reeked of fear a moment ago, but now...
**You're so... Soft...** Llune sends, appreciatively. Probably not really answering the deeper question the wolf had asked, but, answering it truthfully all the same. What did you expect, you asked a little kid!
((Edited for grammer and to add the last sentence.))

The wild jaws snap in her face. Whispers of fur and a few whiskers glide over her delicate flesh. *Deeper. Look, What am I?* Now hot breath moved Llunes hair on every exhale. One of the elders reached for a spear that had been made. Trembling hands make ready to throw it at the beast.

The fear that paralyzed her at the start was gone, even though the jaws snapped in her face. The breath was hot, and the little child looked the animal square in the eyes, still not really comprehending what was being asked.
**Uhhh... You're a... Soft, furry creature with big teeth and hot breath that can send.... I've never seen anything like you, so I don't know what you are, other than quite strikingly beautiful and frightening at the same time...**
A thought flicked to the high one grasping the spear, wordless, but full of a sense of "not yet, I think it's okay."

The savage animal snarled more. Saliva started to drip from the open jaws. The beasts eyes never leaving the child's eyes. Looking deep, as if looking past the color, past the mind and even deeper still. Llune might feel a little stirring inside her. Like something more trying hard to reach her. *Deadly and frightening indeed little snack. Their is nothing beautiful about me. I will snap you in my jaws and like all things you will cease to be.* The long tongue came hanging out then lapped over the fangs slowly. Still the animal made no movement closer.

Llune's eyes grew wider, at the mention of her being a snack.
"If you came here for a snack, then I would not be answering you..." She blinked, very slowly, her eyes staying closed for a moment as if they may never again open. "But you keep asking me," she said as they fluttered slowly open, "So given the chance to define you, I do so as beautiful, and frightening."
The adult elf in the group, who had picked up the spear, readied his weapon as Llune slowly blinked, inching closer and ready to attack if necessary. His trembling was apparent, and the reek of fear eminating from their direction much more strongly that from Llune's.
"And if you can not see your own beauty, then you leave yourself nothing but frightening to be."

The fear smell drew the beasts attention. It turned on them. The weapon making the creature more agitated as the jaws snapped and snarled angrily. *Cowards! Every one of you fear what you do not understand. I smell it, I see it and you hate me for it!* The looks on the elders faces show they clearly do not hear. Only young Llune hears the animals words as they flow from its mind. *You will not destroy me! It is you who will fall as my teeth pull you apart!* The animal took steps forward as it advanced on the elders. The one with the weapon takes aim and launches his spear.

With the force of an angry tidalwave Llune shouts aloud, "NOooooOOoooo!" as the spear flies. She moves forward, diving towards the pending catastrophe, toward the spear and the curious creature.
But so does the dream, the borders of every object blurring as if drawn in chalk and smeared. Her shout echoes in the silence, and time, for a time, takes its time standing still. The ground seems to drop away, the forest, the sky, everything measured with senses goes black for a moment or for a billion years, who knows...
And then, slowly, as if waking from a dream (in the dream), light waxed slowly back into existence. What scene would it illuminate?

As the light returned Llune could see the spear sticking up from what was now a long lean fir haired elfess with the animal under her. Before long the elf woke and fluttered her eyes lightly. "W... What happened?" She glanced about as she started to get up. Llune could see the animal dead on the ground. Blood ran away from it. A thick black mess that even Llune could smell as fowl.

Llune reached a child-like hand forward to the fire-haired elfess, confused herself. "Are you hurt?" she asked simply, her childlike tone confused and concerned. Llune looked about for the other high-ones - One of then she knew was a healer. "Let me help you," little Llune said, moving to assist the other in rising from the disgusting mess of a carcass.

The new elfess stood slowly. She dusted herself off lightly. Stepping back from the dead animal she made a face. "Thank you so much for getting me out of that disgusting creature. Then things it did were horrible. I could hardly stand it." Turning from it she moved closer to the young Llune, "You were so brave to keep the creature here so another could kill it." Her long form knelt down and touched the girls cheek lightly. Llune could feel something not right about her. Something missing in this new prim and proper elfess. Her touch though warm was empty.

"What... did it do that was bad?" asked little Llune, innocent and confused about the other elf's emptiness, "And... What are you?" Llune asks, turning the beast's question upon this shell of an elf.

A look of shock and disgust came over the lovely face. "Oh little one, this creature fed on the raw flesh of anything it could get hold of. It enjoyed every moment and lapped at blood as if it were a cool sip of something sweet." Standing back up the form shuttered a bit then turned away to thank the rest of the group for her freedom.
