Killer had to take a few moments to think through the feline's sentences. He hadn't heard someone speak like that before.<br /><br /> Auryn noted Killer's shivers from the icy wind.<br /><br /> He watched curiously as the cat reared up, raising his front end, shortly after he slammed in ground. At first it seemed like nothing happened but the Earth and rock jutted up out of the ground and partially covered the entrance.<br /><br /> Wow, they are powers as well? He thought to himself.<br /><br /><br />“That should stop the drafts. Now sleep and I’ll keep watch, I can tell you’re exhausted.” <br /><br />"Thank you Auryn." Killer said gratefully.<br /><br />"Show off", he chuckled slightly before laying his head down. Now for some much much needed sleep.<br />

Auryn nodded.<br />“Ai, as long as the bonnie lad stays, I’ll be.” He replied, indicating the now disgruntled lump at the back of the cave, already curled ready to sleep, and grinned. The cold air blew into the cave and Blade nuzzled his head deeper into his thick tail, as Killer asked his question.<br /><br />“Nay storm that blows that strong, blows for long.” The cat answered, looking out at the weather. “It ought-a be out by days light… nay doubt.”<br /><br />He glanced back and noticed Killer shivering.<br /><br />“Oi! But where are my manners! I forget that some don’t have the benefit of my coat, you must be freezing!”<br /><br />He got up and walked to the cave entrance, tracing the line of the rock carefully, walking one paw in front of the other, looking downwards, almost as if somehow looking though the rock. Then he sat back and considered it momentarily, before leaping to his feet, rearing upwards onto his hind paws and slamming his forepaws into the ground. The force of this pound shouldn’t have made a sound, but instead a shockwave shot forward and spread across the line he had just walked. The cave rumbled deeply in resistance before the ground in front of the cat suddenly shot upwards, halfway covering the entrance. Auryn grunted, seeming happy with his work and leaped up into the gap and stretched out, dimly being lit with the final light. He faced outwards into the storm. <br /><br />“That should stop the drafts. Now sleep and I’ll keep watch, I can tell you’re exhausted.” <br /><br />“Show off.” Blade retorted without moving his head from his tail.<br />

He listened to their conversation curiously. <br /><br />"It's nice to meet you as well." he smiled back. <br /><br />"Will you be staying with us?" he asked the new stranger named Auryn.<br /><br />A blast of frigged air entered through the mouth of the cave. It penetrated Killer's thick fur and caused him to shiver. <br /><br />"Think we can get out of here soon?"

The cat regarded the large Worgen in front of him. There was no malice in his eyes, nor was there fear or concern about this stranger, only perhaps the mildest curiosity. Though mostly he emanated a sense of indifference, an impression that no mater how the situation might change he had nothing to worry about. <br /><br />“Ack, there’s nothing to wurry about.” That cat replied calmly, as if the large creature needed to be reassured of him. “I only came to make sure Bladey here hadn’t gotten himself into any wee trouble.” He looked around the cave. “But he seems to been doing fine by himself.”<br /><br />Blade pushed himself up onto his front paws and snarled at the cat.<br />“No thank to you! you abandoned me!” he growled<br /><br />The cat seemed unaffected by the canine’s temper “Oi? And here I thought you were a big boy.”<br /><br />Blade snarled again<br /><br />“Besides.” The cat went on ignoring him, “I wanted to double back and check on your wee lass and the lemur.”<br /><br />Blade calmed down instantly and sat down. He hadn’t thought about them. “how are they?” He asked<br /><br />“They’re fine. The lass found some shack to shelter in one of the lower valleys. Startled some dog from it apparently, but they’ll be nay problem down there, the storm’s not half as bad as here. Ai, the trouble was finding your trail again in this weather.”<br /><br />He watched Blade’s expression for a moment, he knew Blade was conflicted with the idea of being up here while leaving them alone. Though the cat was confident it was the right thing to do.<br /><br />“Soo…” He asked after no more questions seemed to be forthcoming “Who’s your friend?”<br /><br />Blade looked up again. “Oh, this is Killer. Killer Auryn, Auryn Killer.”<br /><br />“Please to met you” <a href= “http://elementalspirits.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d323wb4”>Auryn</a> said.<br /><br />(The other two won’t be involved in this RP much, I just want them in the background so I can switch them out as and when I need them. XD)<br />

His eyelids felt like stone when he finally got to close them, but it did not last long. <br /> Killer's head shot up, his thick fur bounced back into place. Something was moving outside the entrance.<br /> <br /> Claws clicked against the rock floor as he pushed himself to his feet.<br />His eyes followed the small figure as it entered the cave.<br /> <br /> The bushy cat spoke not bothered by his presence, <br />“Making friends are we now Blade?”<br /><br />So he new the cat? Killer lowered his guard slightly and tried to appear friendly.<br /><br />"What are you doing here?"

Blade nodded to himself, it was a story he had head from many. Loosing your family, becoming homeless, being alone… it was all far too common these days. There was little light from outside now and Blade yawned, his large white teeth glinting in the remaining light. The storm didn’t seem like it was going to lift anytime soon and Blade’s eyelids were beginning to droop when the faintest sounds of movement forced him awake again. He raised his head and watched the entrance again, this time more alertly. It was hard to see anything out there, but after a short while Blade thought he saw a shape moving towards them. It was small and seemed unhurried as it stopped to check the ground a few times, as if following a trail. As it got closer Blade recognised who it must be and the short feline padded into the cave without concern. He shook the snow from his dense coat and eyed Killer suspiciously before spotting Blade and sat down to clean a paw.<br /><br />“Making friends are we now Blade?” The cat asked in his ever confident voice.<br /><br />He was about half the size of Blade, and his body covered with large spots, the thick fur looked soft to the touch and was particularly long and mildly curly on his underside and paws. In many ways he would look like a short legged snow leopard if his coat wasn’t such a orangey red colour, but despite being obviously much smaller then either of the others, he showed no signs of being intimidated.<br />

<br />“You look like you’re about as well as equipped to be up here as me.” Blade spoke again after a few moments of silence. “What brings you up here?”<br /><br />Killer laughed slightly, "Yeah scales are definitley the best thing for blizzards" he paused for a moment trying to think, it had been awhile since he had spoken to another animal he felt slightly awkward. <br /><br />"It's a long story if you care to hear; to sum it up I used to live in a big group of my breed...Guardian Dragon....But we were attacked, I was the only one who escaped. I am just going were my wings take me now. I know no one other than you." <br /><br />His voice was slightly softer, more canine like now that he was Worgen.<br /><br />He looked for the Gryphon once more, but saw no sign. It made him suspicious and he decided to be on guard.<br /><br />

Blade managed a weary smile. “I’ve heard worse at least. Humans in particular name animals the strangest things… but what I don’t get is that the animals will keep and use them!” <br />He turned his head back towards the entrance briefly, he noticed now that the other creature hadn’t entered and he wondered why. Perhaps, although willing to help them, she did not want to share the cave? perhaps there was a more sinister motive.. a trap? either way Blade was too exhausted to find out, he reasoned that if it was a trap, he might as well rest first. He laid is head on his front paws, although his eyes did not leave the entrance. In the warmth of the cave the cold was beginning to leave his body, leaving only an aching pain.<br /><br />“You look like you’re about as well as equipped to be up here as me.” Blade said, as if suddenly remembering his companion. “What brings you up here?” There was curiosity in his voice, but mostly it was for making conversation.<br />

The difference was great, no blizzard blowing on bare scales. Killer started to think he should of done this earlier. His new fur was warm, and comforting in the cold air. Scents filled his canine nose, something he had never experienced before.<br /><br /> After noticing the perks of his newer form he decided to lay down. Sleep has been rare in the last few months. He looked over towards the dog-like creature, he looked just as tired.<br /><br /><br />“Thank you, this cave is more then suitable to rest in.” He said gratefully. “I’m Blade by the way.”<br /><br />"Yes, thank you" I said, I looked for the Gryphon but I could not spot her.<br /><br />"Hello Blade, my name is Killer" I paused for a second "Yes, my parents were comedians; or so they thought."

Blade watched the transformation with indifference. If he had been warmer, more alert, the dramatic change in the creature would have unnerved him, even with the warning that he was given, but the cold had numbed all his senses. He followed killer in without a word and sniffed the floor to get accustomed to the new smells. There seemed to be nothing unusual to the cave’s scents, damp, stone, dust… nothing of particular interest, and feeling content in that it was fairly safe, walked to the back of the cave where it was warmer. There he flopped down on one of the more prominent stones and stretched his frozen forepaws out and off the edge. Only then did he look more closely at his new companions, his eyes adjusting quickly to the dim light. Exaustion was quickly taking over him, and suddenly he was feeling sleepy, but he didn’t intend to make a bad impression by falling asleep just yet.<br /><br />“Thank you, this cave is more then suitable to rest in.” He said gratefully. “I’m Blade by the way.”
