The group walked on in complete silence. as the night crept in and the sun vanished to the west, the gang settled in for a good nights rest. the hawk was watching over them as they curled up on beds of fern and grass. a small ring of mushrooms made a perfect circle for Sukira to fit into. she liked circles. the night seemed long, and while each one thought the others were asleep, none of them ever shut an eye.
the next day was rough. hot, humid, bright. it was one of those days were you just wanted to sit inside a watering hole for all the others to look at you, jealous.
"hey, look!" Sukira bounded up to a small brown patch hidden underneath a bush. "a Dezerat!"
Kida came up behind the young wolf. "there should be a mother around here somewhere..." she glanced around.
"and usually they are very vicious." Gan whispered, watching out, too.
the young Dezerat watched them, seeming almost dead. it was shaking slightly, afraid of these 3 new animals that were watching it and talking real loud.
soon, the hawk screeched.
amongst the brush behind the young Dezerat, a large winged deer stood, tall with brown moth-like wings. on the outside, they had spots that seemed like eyes. on the inside, they were a colorful rainbow, glittering in the sun like tie-died foil.
next to the female Dezerat stood a large male, twice as tall as Sukira and Kida. it's antlers branched out like deadly hands, grasping the forest in it's bony fingers and caressing it's homeland like a baby. its wings were gently placed down it's back like a thin blanket. it's eyes burned with life like the moon.
"hi!" Sukira squeaked.
the Dezerats looked at each other.
"I'm Sukira! This is Gan, and this is Kida. we only wanted to meet the baby, but we're going now, so..."
the male snorted madly. it flicked its head, slicing down branches and leaves from a nearby bush. as it glared them down, Sukira spun around and passed by Kida and Gan. "see ya later!"
Kida and Gan followed suit, laughing at Sukira.
