luka stared. he stared hard, it was the largest wolf he had ever seen, it dwarfed anything he could have imagined from what the journal told. he was certain if he did not think of something fast he would be devoured by this hulking beast. the only thing that came to mind was the hunting lure his brother used to call deer, he struggled to recall the song 'ελάτε κατοικίδιο ζώο έρχεται, με εξυπηρετεί καλά, αγάπη για το μεγάλο πνεύμα' he waited in a cold sweat hoping the beast would be enchanted.

There was a slight pause in both Mizuki and the wolf. Then out of no where Mizuki laughed and laughed hard. When he finaly cought his breath he looked to Luka "A hunting lure...really?" He said in a mocking laughter. Just then the wolf took a step forward. Its huge black paws making the dust stir as it landed. Then it gave a howl. As it howled the air around it began to pick up.

Soon a bright light sorrounded the wolf. When it disapated a female stood in its place. Her hair was long and black with flecks of white. White fur covered Her sides down her lower stomach and the edges of each breast leading up to full lips and bright green eyes. Accompanied by black and white pointed ears as well as a tail that swooshed back and forth. Two clawed feet stood as if rooted to the very ground. Lifting a clawed hand to her chest she spoke "Master...do you not remember me?" She said sadly.

the last thing he saw before he fainted was a single bloom from the tree above his head


(oh jeez, you scared him to death^^: )

Mizuki was right behind him as he fell so that he simply swept his arms under his legs and held him to his chest as he stood. "Um...was he supposed to do that?" She asked dipping her head to the side quizically. Mizuki didnt raise his head as he spoke "I...dont know" He said turthfully.

"Lets take him to a place of rest" Mizuki said and she nodded "Fallow me she said" She then led him through the trees to a cabin like home that rested near a stream. Mizuki didnt realize how long they have walked. They where no longer in the south garden but the south forest that went for miles and miles of nothing but woodland protected by the castle.

"Come on" She said walking up the stairs to the largely built deck and headed for the door. Walking in she motioned to a day bed by the window "I set it up last night" She said and Mizuki looked to her "For me or him?" He asked and she didnt respond. Placing Luka upon the bed Mizuki sat down in the chair beside it. It was going to be a long night.

((lol so it would seem!))

he woke up slowly and in a haze. he was not sure at first what was going on but a few moments of staring at a rush-thatched ceiling brought him to. he saw a werewolf! a real honest to goodness werewolf. he almost laughed out loud at the thought but it followed on the heels of a sobering one, mizuki tried to bring back the dead luka. he felt ill. he was obviously still here wherever here was, he felt fine. wiggling his toes and fingers he sighed. he was not a soulless doll like what he had read. but at the same time he felt normal, not at all like anyone different. it could not have worked then. he was lost for several seconds before a door to his right opened. he sat up quickly

[Pinkie]

She walked in and looked at him "Oh your awake!" She said happily before closing the door. "Please reframe your reaction" She said motioning towards a sleeping Mizuki in the chair beside the bed. "its been three days and he hasnt moved" She said "Anyways how are you feeling?" She said taking a step forward.

[littl3chocobo]

'three?' he was lost for sure, 'how is it possible three days have passed? he looked at the beast-woman. 'what are you doing in the headmaster's garden? i have been here forwards and back the times i have visited and this is not right. have you bewitched the place or am i charmed?' he attempted a ward breaking over his eyes, nothing changed. i am not a soulless thing and i am not whatever his luka became. you are his minion or his friend, i cannot assume you would tell the truth but at least tell me something'

[Pinkie]

She looked towards him "So...it didnt work huh" She said almost sadly. "No I am not his minion nor anything else to him simply a friend" She said "Mizuki and I we date back...along long time" She said to him "About....140 years if I remember correctly" She said almost absent mindly. She then gave a shrug "I did at one point in time fallow you" She said "Well the you who we thought you were" She said again

luka did the math, at 104 years ago mizuki would have been maybe 16-18 so he would have been negitive 18-20 years old at the time. 'mizuki is a reincarnated sould too isn't he? the thought that this current mizuki was someone else at some point was disturbing to say the least and brought up interesting questions on how long the two had been body-snatching to begin with. he looked at the she-beast in front of him

[Pinkie]

"Its not the way you think" Mizuki said opening his eyes looking to Luka with allmost a glare. "You humans all of you think the same way" He said. "Mythical creatures and animals are laughed at and not believed in, yet all of us walk among you day after day" Mizuki said. "Half that school is something other then human" He said. "I will be having my 450th birthday this year" He said Luka waiting to see his reaction. Mizuki had lived a long time.

[littl3chocobo]

his shock at the outburst was quickly replaced by shame, the admission was not without merit, he himself was not the standard by any stretch but the difference between what he was and say the woman creature next to him was surely something altogether different. 'are you saying then' he began 'that you age slowly or are you like her' he pointed to the other 'and able to adjust yourself to perceived realities?' he looked about his person for the diary 'i have' he pulled it out, rumpled but sound ' a book claiming you to be but an adolescent no more than a hundred years prior to this one 'he held it up before flinging it carefully into the lap of mizuki 'is it a book of lies? everything else it has said has either been validated or come true.' he stared hard and cold at the man. the female he had no truck against but the male in front of him seemed adamant on his ruin

[Pinkie]

Mizuki looked down to the book throwen in his lap. "Awww yes" He said to no one "You see dear Luka" Mizuki said picking up the book and holding up "I wrote all three diarys" He stated to him "You cant indulge everything" He stated to him. "Its true that yes 95% of that book is true...but if you had all three you would realize that" Mizuki said to him. "During this time..." He said motioning to the diary "I did appear to be an adolecent" He said "Because I choose it to be that way" Mizuki said "when in all reality I look the same" He said with a little shrug.

"And as for me" She said piping in "Im different from Mizuki" She said with a smile "While he is a weilder who by any stretch of the imagination could live to be a thousand years or older...I am what my people call a Mettas. I change my forum at will and live for about five hundard years at most" She said. "While his magic and life comes from the chrystal Mine comes from the forest around me. If its healthy so am I" She said with a smile.

[littl3chocobo]

he put his head in his hands 'so let me understand, there is no luka' he turned to to the female 'and you are a breed who supposedly died out several thousand years ago' head still in his hands he began to laugh 'oh dear goddess above, i am crazy, out of my head for sure, or maybe i am asleep, i dozed off, am i still in my bed reading that book or have i slept in and this is the twisted middle of a particularly bad dream?'

[Pinkie]

Mizuki gave a sigh. "Its going to be like that huh..." He said standing and walking way. Turning a corner he poked his head around it and looked to luka his braid hanging a little above the floor "Well...are you comming or not?" He asked him. Mizuki watched as slowly but surely Luka stood and fallowed. Mizuki led him to a room at the back of the large place. Openeing the door he revieled a large library. The walls from top to bottem were covered in books of all kinds "These...are knowen as the magical archives" He told luka "Everything is housed here....from the begining of the first scripture to date" He said. Walking over to a shelf he climed a latter and took out a book. Bringing it back down he opened it to a page and gave it to Luka. The page read...

"As of this date the magical council has come to reason that every magical creature not defined as human with magical powers has to hence forth cover or desguise there true from for fear of slaughter"

"In that time...it was a sport to take the life of a magical creature as we were so called" He said. "Thats why many of our people are afraid to show there true face...but im going to change that" Mizuki said to him as he took some steps away "Luka....before he died...him and I started to create a better world" Mizuki said "Then something happened. "She" Came along and took him from me" Mizuki said "I have been searching and searching for him ever since but....time and time again I fail" Mizuki said in a dejective tone.

[littl3chocobo]

he followed the other int othe room. the waft of old skin and wood permeated everything, the walls were filled with books of all shapes and sizes. the other walked straight to a shelf with a single row of unnasuming red books and pulled out the farther-most left 'everything is housed here....from the begining of the first scripture to date' he passed over the book. it felt old. the binding cover parchment and ink dated it to at least 900 years ago, cat-gut cows leather lambskin and blood respectively. nothing in his wildest dreams could compare to the feel of it in his hands. reading the proffered passage he frowned. this was unreasonable. the conclave referred to were well documented in the archives of the greater and lesser library and sever members had books in the talking library. no member had a hand like this and even if they had it would have been preposterous to have wrote such a thing. to enforce a mass exodus of a single species would have been nearly impossible to have convinced all breeds and specie to go willingly into hiding? even if it could be done there would be records, documented accounts, public notifications, historical recordings personal diaries, anything.

he looked to the other as he talked. the face he had now was the same sad face from before, it spoke of pain and loss but it held no truck with the evidence provided in this singular tome. 'no' luka said evenly 'even if it was believable, which it is not, even if there was evidence it was so, which barring this book and that woman, there is not, it would be worth nothing to be to give up my very existence for it. i have all to lose and nothing to gain and you could, like you have since i first laid eyes on you, have been lying to me, you are deceitful and vile, you simply cannot be believed.

[Pinkie]

That was it....Mizuki lost his temper "How dare you!" He stated getting more angry by the second "Every moment of my life every second of time I have spent on this earth I have done so for your kind!" He all but screamed. The room in the air began to chill at an alarming pace. "You think this world is so perfect and so innocent that when the real it is revield you turn your head and ignore the very fact and truth set before your very own eyes!" The last of his words where screamed. As the sound reverberated throughout the room ice began to form on the many shelfs dripping down to points of lavender colored death. "Mizuki calm down!" The wolf girl all but screamed.

But Mizuki was to far gone. His eyes once so pure in color now swirled with white. His ears once round to the touch elongated and came to a point. Nails grew to claws and pale skin turned paler if possible. "I am sick of your iggnorant race" Mizuki said in a very calm and eery tone. "Mizuki!" She said again comming into his veiw "Calm down...you need to calm down!" She said placing her hands on his shoulders looking into his eyes. "Luka...what ever you do dont run...please it will make it worse!" She said over her shoulder. "Just listen...dont move!"
