Ellie raised her eyebrow at Annie, “I know to be careful.” She felt like that was obvious. For over five years she had been living this way. “Is this book really much of my business?” turning to Leo, she looked surprise. “Hmm…” but she was hesitant to look through it. “Annie, I know you are an elf, but that is a kind of human. I don’t care how different we are, even you as you are, Leo, you are human. It is amazing to me.” Slowly she began to lower her hood. Light poured over her hair as the material fell, turning her figure into a new moon. “I’m sure you’ve heard of Morcrest and its star festivals. I suppose I was too curious. I never expected that they were anything more than fun, but no, now I am seeing that these things really do exist.” Her head shook. “I couldn’t possibly be anything like the one who…gave me this power. He was magnificent. Of all people, I do not know why someone so young and naïve was chosen by him…” she paused. “Oh, but you see…” she had been talking to herself. “I found a star spirit. He was dying. I tried to save him, but as he passed away in my arms, he left me with his remaining energy. This is why…” suddenly her wings burst from her back in a great, sparkling light, like a swarm of fireflies. “I am like this, now. I suppose I am a star spirit, but people misunderstand my power. I still feel mortal. What about you, Leo, and Annie? How did you…come to be as you are?”

"I... I was used to work on a small farm with my parents. I was told by my parents to go get some wood for a fire. I heard the town bell when I was out there, that bell meant that something dangerous was attack the town. When I went to see what happened, all I saw was the dead and dying... I went farther in and eventually saw a few survivors. They yelled at me and told me to run. That's when a werewolf ambushed them and killed them all. It went for me next. I was able to kill it but... It bit and scratched me. I passed out and woke up in my house. My parents were there and told me to rest a bit more. That's when I turned into that thing... Last thing I remembered is waking up in a forest... I was lost..."

"Well actually in my village, there is a rare child who is born with the ability to turn into a dragon. It is a sign of things to come that could destroy the world during the child's lifetime. I found out I was a dragon when I was five and once the village found out the exiled me. Or course from traveling around, I found out that it's actually inherited. I also have the ability to communicate with animals as well." Annie turns to them,"It's true Elfs are no different from humans, we just have different appearances. Actually the thing dragon hunters look for is a birthmark. It's a tattoo shaped like a dragon, mine is purple and it's on my back."

She nodded, “I see.” “What…what do I do with this?” Ellie held up the book in her hand and dismissed her wings. Now with understanding they were not needed. It was irrational to keep them out, and she was bashful about them to start. “You really want me to see? What is…inside?” her thumb ran over the edges of the pages. The thin papers, like little blades always gave her the chills. It was a nostalgic feeling.

Leo looks at the book that Ellie is holding. "Look at the Twenty-seventh page... You might find it interesting." Leo stares up at the sky. The moon is starting to descend slowly. "I'm going to guess I have a couple more hours till daylight..."

Ellie took a nip at the inside of her mouth as she began to flip through the book. The twenty-seventh page… “There’s…no known cure for what I have. I’ve read many things like this, but this is rare. It shouldn’t happen. People who have studied the skies for years, for instances like mine they go through lifetimes trying to study such things, and…” she frowned, shook her head again to clear the thoughts. “This is a very interesting book, but it doesn’t document much of my case…that bit was very vague. However, I see it is sufficient on more earthly beings. Have you found a sure cure for yourself?” that was all she cared of from the book, and she returned it to Leo.

Suddenly, a voice (as well as an individual) arose from directly behind Leo. "I'm surprised, that with all your instincts, you didn't realize how close I was..." The individual draws one of his swords, a samurai blade of a unique design. "May I ask what exactly 3 cursed people are doing alone in the forest at night?"

Leo spins and uses his claws to slice behind him, hoping to hit whoever was behind him. "What the?!" He jumps back from the figure. "Who are you?!" His voice is deep and commanding. "I would have smelled someone behind me."

Annie froze as someone emerged from behind Leo. She stood and noticed this person had sword. She looked to the people around her and braced herself for what might happen next. She was not afraid of danger but maybe they had been nieve to think nobody would notice their presence.

Suddenly, the individual reached around and took out his second blade (he has one more), which looked like a claymore with powerful crest alongside it. "I'm getting impatient...are you going to answer?" He held the claymore in one hand, as if he was holding a small life

Ellie’s immediate reaction was to pull her hood back over her head. In her startled emotion her power began to boil in her blood, giving her an offset glow. She was bracing herself for attack, and to use a searing light if it was so necessary. “Who are you?” she repeated after Leo. Her eyes deepened in annoyance.

The individual laughed slightly "That's what I never understood from people...they always ask questions when someone has already asked an important one..." He tightened his grip on both swords, "Answer....NOW..."

"I'm Leo... You can guess by my appearance that I'm a werewolf." His eyes widen and he focuses on the figures movement. "Now you tell me who you are..." Leo isn't nervous at all.

The individual sheathed one of his swords, and held the claymore with both his hands now "You seem resonable at least, but you're answering a question I did not ask..." Suddenly the individual get into a fighting stance. "Last chance to tell me what you three are doing..."

“We just met, all of us.” Ellie clenched her teeth down. She was fighting off her emotion for rational thought, but then it occurred to her. If this man was in a fighting stance, then she had just as much right to defend herself. “We do not want any trouble!” a bright fire sparked up in the palm of her hand. “Who are you? This is your last chance.” Being alone for so many years she had picked up on a few things concerning how to trust others. The light in her hand was growing more sporadic and hot.
