It was getting dark in this eerie jungle, a low fog hung about the trees and smoke drifts upwards through the canopy. A lone traveler in a worn hooded robe sits by his fire, watching out into the darkness of the jungle. All was quiet but the crackling of the flame, signs that something was stalking the night. Legend tells of a forest demon, a large an deadly unknown predator that is capable of unspeakable atrocities.

The local villagers call this creature "The Setan Hutan." All travelers should be weary of this legend, even if it is just myth the jungle is full of predators. If it does exist, then pray you don't cross it's path.

A sizeable cat roamed around the jungle. The cat was nearly as large as a full grown grizzly bear, and had the very notable trait of a pair of large, seven inch long fangs jutting from the upper jaw. Locked in the cat's mouth was a sheep, most likely nabbed from a near by farm. The cat checked its surroundings before shifting into a smaller, humanoid form. Jaqulynn wiped the blood from the sheep off her face on the sleeve of her shirt. "God I hate how messy that is...."She muttered. She grabbed a few sticks, soon starting up a fire of her own.

Damien noticed more smoke in the distance rise from above the canopy, He decided to snoop around and investigate. Damien shifted to his dragon form providing additional stealth and as the sun set his night vision eyes would soon assist him. Damien hoped that this would be quick as he lay in the bush, he was a superstitious man and truly believed that there was some kind of creature stalking the jungle at night.

By now Jaqulynn had skinned the sheep and began roasting it over the fire. Not expecting anyone to be roaming the forest, she didn't bother to conceal her true form, with her eyes seeming to be much larger than they were due to her large irises and pupils. Her ears were long and pointed. Her hands and feet lacked a finger and a toe respectively, though her shoes concealed her feet. She had a long slender tail wiggling behind her, and her nose was more cat-like. She waited, watching the fire as the sheep roasted.

Damien saw this creature and considered what it might be, obviously it was a predator and it seemed to be a rather dangerous one. The Damonfuer decided it would be best to return to his camp and wait for the morning before rushing off after some creature, Damien took three steps before a twig snapped underneath his feet. The sound echoed through the jungle causing birds to fly off from the tree tops, Damien almost instinctively scurried up the nearest tree and perched in the branches watching below.

Jaqulynn's ears perked up and she glanced around. "Hello?"She asked. Her tail was whipping from side to side. She'd heard tales about a deadly predator in these jungles, but didn't believe any of them. Even then so long as this breast wasn't demonic or angellic in nature than she could atleast replicate its physical abilties, though she might not be particularly skilled at using them. Jaqulynn noticed a fallen tree branch by her. She picked it up and stuck the end of it in the fire, before pulling it out. "Whose there?"She called, trying to sound intimidating. In truth she was very scared and very young for her kind. Heck, her older sister was over ninety years old(And still young!) and one of her many brothers was nearly two centuries old. She was just nineteen, and only recently left her parent's home.
