Gin walked in a slow pace. He looked around, the place was beautiful. The ari was rich in smells but the dominating one was of salt. He sighted and looked around, he was in the middle of this place. He knew that there was lake somewere and he was searching for it. He followed it's scent and sound. Being a were was great as it had lots of advantages. He got to have sharp senses like a perfect ear, sigth and nose. He looked back to see his follower. He had a wolf following, he had found this wolf since he was a puppy. He had rescued it from poachers that wanted to kill them. He was the last one to survive of his family. His mother and father had been shot. His brother and sisters were also saved but they were all soon killed by a disease.

Gin had given the rest to a guy that didn't really give them attention not even cared for them and they died of a disease. Lucky Aden was a survivor. He followed Gin since puppy till the day of today around. Aden was a full ebon wolf. Aden comes from the meaning fire. It is because he has those fiery red eyes. Gin followed path that he had found. It seemed like the animals of the forest uses this one. It was day around the afternoon. The sun was high and shining. But with a lot of trees like this the floor was barely lit. It was quite dark but you can see as there are some light patches. The sound and the smell was getting louder and stronger. He knew he was close he could feel it. They walked very quietly, there foot and pawsteps were barely audible. It would take another five minute of walking till they arrived at the lake.

Raewyn sighed as she walked out to the shore of the beach, Melantia at her side. It was bueatiful and calming... Raewyn rarely saw that anymore. She stroked Melantias black mane and looked around out at the lake. The sun was shinging beutifully on the lake and the fish and birds seemed to enjoy it as the jumped and flew around. she turned to her horse and spoke softly.

"Want some water Mel?" Raewyn bent down and scooped up some water in her hand. she held it out to the horse who drank it greedily. Raewyn laughed clearly. "You silly girl..." she murmured allowing the horse to drink straight for the lake. Raewyn then lead her over to the shade to eat some grass as Raewyn walked back to thelake splahing her face with the cool clear water.

Gin knew he was getting closer, he wasn't thirsty or anything but he decided to hurry. He was more wanting to see the view. It must be a beautiful view and he will see daylight. Gin looked over to his follower wolf. Aden was just a follower and protector. He was more of a shadow to Gin. Gin didn't really see Aden as a shadow but a friend. Gin needed to refil his water bottle and maybe a nice swim might do. He quicked his pace, he jumped a log and ducked for a tree branch. Not three minutes later he saw the light. He ran out of the darkness of the forest and saw the beautiful lake. He placed a small smile and looked around. He then noticed a girl and her horse.

He stopped dead in his tracks and backed up a bit back into the darkness. He could forget about swimming. Actually he didn't want his clothes all wet and seeing there was someone else he didn't want to be emberrassed. Gin looked around but found no one else just her. He smiled got a better look and saw her elf ears. Immedietly he knew that she was an elf. He looked at Aden and then back at her. Maybe he can be a bit friendly and introduce himself? Or just ignore her. He grabbed his water bottle and walked towards the lake's bank. There he bent down and let the water fill the bottle. He raised his head to look at the girl. He gave her a warm smile. Well he didn't know if she wanted to talk or not but he wasn't gonna be familiar and talk to her so he would just see her reaction to his smile.

Raewyn looked back at Melentia and then to the lake. It was still glistening. She sighs and jumped slightly as she saw a man a little ways from her. He was filling a water bottle and seemed to have a friend as she saw a wolf. As she man flashed her a warm smile she returned it.

She normally was cautious around strangers and wasn't sure if this one wanted to talk or not. Some did and some just wanted to kill her. Even thought she was in the warm sunlight she shivered slightly at the memory of getting caught in the Misty forest. She looked at the man again. He didn't look that threating but looks can be decieving....

Gin looked at the girl. As he guessed, she returned him a warm smile. Being not to fast or rushing things Gin grabbed a second water bottle. He drank it empty and then refilled it. That was his emergency water bottle but he barely used it. He looked back at the girl and spoke. Hi. A hi he said briefly, but it didn't take long for it to be followed with some other words. Are fish comon here? He looked around in the water and didn't see a fish around. He looked back at the beautiful view.

The lake was very big and maybe further there are fish. He sighted and looked back at her. Gin looked at the horse, maybe it was just like Aden was. A pet, a friend and well yeah someone that acompanies you trough out your journey. Aden was more then a friend but more like a little brother to him. Gin was a werewolf so he knows much about the wolf. He looked back at the elven girl. He wondered if she would maybe open up, he asked a question just to start a conversation. Aden raised his head and looked at the two. He could talk human language but not that good. But infront of people he didn't really talk.

Raewyn odded as the man spoke. "Yeah... fish are quite common here. I've heard that a bountiful catch cna be made here. " She watched the man carefuly trying to determin whether he was dangerous or not. She did think he was so she offered another smile.

"I'm Raewyn." She spoke look at the wolf near him. It was quite a beutiful animal and she persumed it to be his companion just like Melentia was to her. "that's a beautiful wolf..." She commented her eyes soft and truthful.

Gin looked around and then back at her. He placed on another warm smile and didn't want to scare her. His face can be plain odd and serious. After refilling his water bottles he looked back at the girl as she spoke. He looked back into the water. He just manged to see a ripple. Gin gave Aden a sign. Aden's auds perked as he looked at the water. The male moved silently and quickly towards the shore, he stopped and looked into the water. There it was. He quickly grabbedhte fish out o the water and held it tightly within his jaws. The wolf was so fast that it was barely to be seen with the eye.

He then walked back to the shore and layed the fish down on the sand. The fish had died when Aedn grasped it to tighly. Hearing her introduce herself Gin looked back at her and introduced himself.O, call me Gin. He said and looked at Aden. And that's Aden. Aden was already looking for another one. He would keep doing this till he got enough to fill both him and Gin. Gin only ate like five or six so he had a lot to catch. Gin looked back at the female elven and spoke. Want some fish? I can make Aden here catch some for us. He said as he looked at Aden. Aden didn't worry he did everything Gin told him, well almost everything that is.

Raewyn sighed and watched as the wolf gallantly caught the fish out of the lake. Aden, as the man know known as Gin called him, moved so beautifully and gracefully it amazed her. Things like these are what made her love being a ranger, the travels and the adventures.

"No thank you. I am not hungry." Raewyn said refusing the fish politely. she had eaten eailier and still was full from that. She looked across the lake at the beautiful water glistening. Alot of elves and others called her a daydreamer but no Raewyn was just observant and loved what she saw. Trying to make small talk with the man called Gin she spoke.... So what brings you to the lake?

Gin looked at Aden and spoke. Hear that, just for the two of us. He said as he looked at Aden. Aden turned and nodded, he then kept on trying to find another fish. Gin looked around him, it was now that he saw the beauty of the place. The lake was huge like a sea but the other side was still to be seen. The air was fresh and he wanted to breath it all in. Nature's sound was soothing and calming. He was happy to have even come here. He wondered what more lies ahead of his journey. Actually he just travels around trying to get a job. So far he hadn't gotten any job.

But he would do anything other then his occupation to get money. For each kill he needs to be paid a large amount of money so he survives with ten kills a year. He is known for his professional work. Beside that he does normal errands such as transport people safely from one place to the other or just being a mail carrier. As she spoke Gin looked back at her and replied. Well just travling the world looking for a job and of course getting to know the world better. He replied to her. It took a minute of silence before he broke it once more. And what brings you here? He asked looking back at her. Aden had caught six fish some were large some small. Aden thought of that being enough and he walked back towards Gin. Gin looked at Aden, then at the fish and then back at the girl. He waited for her reply.

Raewyn watched as Gin spoke to the wolf who seems to understand what he said because the wolf nodded. When the man looked out across the waters he seemed to have the same thoughts she did. The beuty of the this place was magnifecent. He seemed to be quite enjoying himself as he looked around the lake deep in thought. When he spoke anwsering her question Raewyn nodded halfway knowing what he meant.

" It's almost the same way with me. I always travel to see places and just to move around. I am not to fond of staying in one place. It makes me feel uncomfortable. " She said anwsering his question.

Gin remembered since he was a little puppy. He always wanted to travel around the world. Since puppy his parents got angry at him for leaving teh den and running off without telling anyone of were he was going. He was constantly exploring and setting new hights. He wanted to surpass everyone of his pack and discover the world and it's secrets. As he grew up he left the pack territories and started moving on to find new places and to make new records. He trained day and night and before he knew it he got a new job. A man trained him to be a professional assassin.

That man was one himself but he was quite old. He trained Gin because he saw the want to get stronger and how persistent he was. Gin didn't like losing one bit, he will keep trying till he wins. As she spoke he was popped back to reality. He was remembering his past. He took a deep breath, many scents entered his keen sharp nares. He looked at Aden and told him to go and gather fire wood. Aden left immedietly and Gin thought of him coming in the next five minutes. Aden is abnormaly fast, moving like lighting around. Well seeing the world is a great expirience. He said looking around him.

"It is a very good experince. I love meeting all kinds of people and seeing how everything is different. Hoever there are some places I like more than others. She said shivering slightly remembering her account with the drow at the falls a few weeks ago. She had almost lost her life and wasn't going back therre any time soon.

However there are also where you love to go again and again. " Raewyn said thining of the forests all over and the trees that seemed to welcome her like a mother bird welcomes her babies from their eggs.

Aden came back with the firewoord. He dropped them down piling them. He looked back at Gin wanting to say something but he never spoke something infront of strangers so he just winced. Gin looked at the firewood and praised Aden. He then searched in his pocket for a firemaker. He kept clicking it till a large flame came out of it. The firewoods immedietly went on fire and they started burning. Gin placed the fish on his mini barbeque that he had now. Actually he can just eat the fish raw like that but he would eat it infront of others like a normal human would do it. He looked back at her and replied. Well till my expirience there has been quite some places were I disliked and few that I like. Gin wasn't one to be found in a crowd. You can find him there but always distant from the crowd. The smell of BBQ was in the air and it started to attract other animals too.

Raeywn watched the wolf as it left for a few minutes then came back with firewood. She watched it carefully and seemed as if the wolf was speaking to Gin. She sighed. "That wolf is amazing... He is so loyal to you..." She looked at Gin as he spoke again.

"Very true I do believe I have strayed more from towns than i should but... the forets and the natue is my life.. she spoke softly look at the trees behind her.

Gin looked at Aden's face. Aden was quite hungry as his looks gave him away. He was staring with a hungry face at the fsih all this time. It will take a bit more for the fish to be done. Gin turned the fish to the other side so the other side will also fry. The smell was great and he can barely wait. Gin looked back at Raewyn. He is, since pup I have him. We ahve been together all this time. He said as he petted Aden on the head. Aden was very loyal, trough thick and tin he was there. He was Gin's best friend. I might say that horse is like him? He asked asuming that she looked at her with them friendly eyes. Aden laid down and stared the fish he can barely wait for the food to be ready. Nature is beatuiful, way more beautiful then human craft. He found nature so uniqe and beautiful that he can call nature 'art'.

Raewyn nodded at the wolf and her eyes went to melantia. "Yes I agree. Melantia is very loyal... she's eaiser to talk to than others..." She watched the water and nodded again. "It seems most humans can't see the beuaty of nature... it's elegant and smple but at times it can be wild and complex...'' she looked at the sky and then back at him. "If humans could see the beuaty of natue it would be amazing on how the world would be differnet."

The delicious smell of fried fish was in the air. Gin smiled slightly as the fish was ready. He licked his lips slightly and then grabbed one fish and placed it on a stick that can hold the fish's weight. He placed it in vertical in the sand so that it will cool off. Gin grabbed another one for himself. He grabbed a bit of water and put the fire out. Nature can be beautiful but remember looks are deceiving. That he was right. Nature may seem so beautiful but everyday many animals loses there lives to others. Looks are deceiving. He has expirience with that. His past, he had a friend. He was so friendly but all that time he was using Gin to get his gold and go away with Aden. If Gin ever saw that guy once more he will be sure to put an end to his life. Now being a professional assassin that would be easy. He grabbed the fish on a stick and started to eat the fish. He gave it to Aden, Aden munched it down in nearly seconds. Gin grabbed another for him to eat. The fish was perfect and was well cooked.

Raewyn blinked back tears. "That it is..." Raewyn's heart felt like it was dropping. She'd be one of the lucky one's that loved and lost. It's was painful but it made her stronger. He was gentle to her heart and she wished she'd never met him however she knew now the consquences and the her heart wouldn't allow it again. She turned to Melantia and saw in the horses eyes the anxiousness to leave. They normally didn't camp out in the open the forest seemed more safe.. even though it wasn't.

"I hate to say this but I must bid you goodbye. We have alot of places to go and things to do.. Farewell Gin and Aden.." she said. turning away back into the forest Melantia by her side.

Gin finsihed eating the first fish. He grabbed another and started eating it. He noticed Aden finishing his too and he was wanting another one. Gin grabbed another one for him and gave him to eat. They had been walking for days without food now. All they had was water and nothing else. Spare food was all eaten and nothing was left but to eat the air. He looked back at the elven girl and noticed that she had shed a tear. He wondered why, she didn't finish her sentence so he waited. He kept on eating the fish he was quite the fast eater and was already half of the fish. Hearing her voice once more he gave her a nod and spoke. MAy our paths cross again one day. Gin replied and waved her bye. He turned back to his food and finished eating it. Once the two were full Gin laid down on the sand and stretched out fully. He looked back at Aden and spoke. 'Today was a quite good day don't you think.' He said as he rubbed his stomach. 'Well I can't say much but the food was great.' Aden replied to Gin. Before they knew it they were both asleep.
