Her boots made little to no sound as she walked along the road. her long black hair flowing in the wind behind her. ~ It's getting Late.. But i need to get back home As soon as possible~ she thought with a sigh. Her horse had ran off the night before in the storm, and now she could tell she was not going to make it back in time to get the herbs to the medic in time to save the Queen from the sickness that was slowly killing her ~ No, I will not give up~ she thought taking the bag off her belt she turned into a Black wolf. Picking up the bag she began to run down the road.";

I was walking down the road, I sigh loudly as I trudge along, making loud thuds with my heavy boots. I was still wet from last nights storm, and I was cold, wet, and miserable. I pull out my pocket watch and look at the time, it was getting pretty late, and the sun was setting. I was at least grateful that I was outdoors, I always felt at peace when nature was near. I slip my watch back into its rightful place, and let out another sigh into the chill air. After a few moments, I stopped walking and stared at the ground, I had a feeling someone was near, but when I wait and listen I only hear the chirping of insects, and the gentle breeze rustling through the leaves. I shrug and continue to walk forward.

Enya continued running down the road, she noticed someone in the road but it was to late to stop she ran into him " Sorry!" she said leaping up and return to her human form " Are you alright?" she asked him

I once again hear something and turn around, I knew for a fact that someone or something was behind me, but by the time I turned around it was already to late. A wolf with dark hair runs directly into me, causing me to fall to the floor with a loud thud. I quickly get up, pushing myself up into the air, to land on my feet. I pivoted my feet, taking a stance and reach my hand back to hold the hilt of my blade over my right shoulder. I was under the impression that I was under attack. I was proven wrong, a second later when the wolf transformed into a human, and she apologized. My eyebrows raise in confusion and curiosity. I slide out of my stance and nervously rub the back of my head, "Uh....Sorry....No I'm fine!". I quickly shake my head and clear my throat, "*Ahem*....I mean....It's no bother my lady...I'm sorry for being a burden and blocking your path...", I take a bow and place one hand in front of my torso and the other behind my back. "I am Azrael....It is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance...", I look up and give a small smile, and stand up straight. Curiosity again washes over me, ~I wonder what she is....I've never seen someone do that before...Maybe she possesses magic...~. I jump when I realized I had drifted off into thought and quickly, give a short laugh and rub the back of my head again, letting my professional, gentleman-like demeanor relax a bit.

" I'm Enya, Its nice to meet you Azreal" she said with a soft nod " again i'm sorry for running into you. i'm in a bit of a hurry to get home. I was given a quest to find some herbs to help my sick Queen" she said " but it seems i'm not going to make it back in time" she sighed softly.

I look at her once more quizzically, ~She is on a quest...For a queen?~. I quickly realized that she said she wasn't going to make it and I quickly try to fix the situation. "Ah! Uh!.....I'm sorry!", I wave my hands out in front of me, ~Jeez, I've gotten in the way again...~ I think to myself, and blush nervously. I immediately pop back to my regular self, with a bit of seriousness and determination, "Right! We should move quickly then!". It didn't seem to phase me at the fact that I had just volunteered to help immediately, plus the fact that she might refuse.

Enya sighed " Thank you, I was starting to get worryed. and i could use the help" she said leaning down and picked up the bag. She had two sword crossed on her back. " I do hope I make it in time." she added with a soft sigh.

I didn't think much of the two swords, it was dangerous traveling on the roads, especially alone, and it was about to be night. I begin walking forward once she had gathered her things, I turn to her and give a shy smile saying, "I don't mean to be rude....", I rub the back of my head once more, making it look like a natural reoccurring movement. "But.....You're a wolf?", I say with a nervous laugh. I become self-conscious of my eyepatch and place a hand over it and look away, as we walk forward.

"Shapeshifter" Enya replyed " i can turn into any type of animal i want. But i chose wolfs most of the time" She added looking at him with her Sapphire blue eyes.

"Well that explains a lot...", I mutter under my breath. I again ask her another question, "So....What is a fine lady such as yourself doing out here?.....I mean....Shouldn't they have someone else do the job?". I smile nervously, and blush, "I mean....I'm not doubting you or anything....Just....", I quickly stop talking and look down at the path before me.

" Because i'm a Knight, and i offered to help" she said with a soft laugh. "The Queen has been my friend for quite some time, I knew her before she married the King" she said to him.

"How interesting...", I say with a smile, I'm happy that I didn't offend her. "It sounds like you and the queen are real close...", I look forward again and close my eyes, feeling the breeze brush across me. "So, I've asked you a lot of questions....Anything you would like to know about me?".

" What are you doing out here?" Enya asked him " its rare i see people around here" she said looking around . " its not really the safest place in this area" she added

I slip both my hands into my pants pockets, and look up at the sky. She had a point, it wasn't the safest place in the area, but I was a dangerous individual. "Well...I can handle myself....And my job...or uh...Profession calls for danger". I pull out my pocket watch to look at the time and recoil at what stares back at me. "We should get going!", I say before taking of in an almost full-sprint down the road, I was quiet fast, faster than you have seen any other person ran.

"Right, lets go" She said as she begain to head off the way she was going. returning the bag of hurbs to her belt as she walked.

As we run along, my facial expression is determined, like peoples lives were at stake, and they were. It almost seems like I forgot about my companion entirely, and set my sights on a new goal. It didn't look like I was tiring much, but rather building up more energy as I ran down the path. Hopefully we would reach the city in time.

Enya stay quiet as they travailed, and it continued to get darker. ~ ugh i don't like this~ she thought with a sigh.

We travel as quickly as possible to the town. As we travel the sun finally hides itself behind the earth and night settles in. It was a starry moonlight night, and fireflies could be seen flickering about in the night air. After what seemed like forever we reach the outskirts of the city, and stop to catch our breath. I hunch over and rest my hands on my knees breathing heavily, and look over towards Enya.

Enya stoped and looked at him " Are you alright?" he asked him

I straighten up and say, "Yeah....I'm....fine", in between breaths. I then ask, "So...Where do we need to go in town?".
