magelight was born in haustdüster
kennels, the only living pup of a
highly anticipated litter. two siblings,
stillborn, were sadly buried on the
grounds of the estate. annalise grey
fancied the pup; and of course her
grandmother could deny her nothing.

forever onwards, the girl could

trying to catch a glimpse of her
'favourite'. once magelight was
weaned, the pair were inseparable.
by all accounts, they seemed to
compliment each other quite well.

Blue. "Blue" was what was breathed out in a surprised sigh at Magelight's birth, a long and arduous task that had the women of the household tsk-ing in barely suppressed sympathy. Nikolas, the kennel-master himself, oversaw the birth. As it was, this litter had been hoped for by the inhabitants of the main house -the family Grey- for some time. The mother had produced unusual-looking pups in the past, although she seemed to have some trouble keeping the little ones alive. It was theorized that this could be some far-reaching malady on her part.

Whatever the case, it was decided by the owners of the kennel to try one final time. So it was on the evening of the Fourteenth of March, 1784, that the majority of House Grey crowded into the kennel to wait for the birth of the pup who would come to be known as Magelight.

Once such witness to the birth was young Annalise Grey, the second daughter of Lord William and Lady Greta Grey. Her father and mother retired once the midnight hour fell at hand, but Annalise begged her grandmother to be allowed to stay until the puppies were born. Madame Grey, unable to deny her granddaughter everything, acquiesced, and kept the child company as the hours passed.

In the wee hours of the morning on the Fifteenth of March, Nikolas told the two women that three puppies had been born - but only one alive. Annalise, usually such a happy girl, was somber and respectful - she left the kennel to let Nikolas bury the two who didn't make it, vowing to return to see the survivor once he was a little older.

And she kept her promise. By the time a fortnight had passed, Annalise pestered Nikolas night and day about when she might be able to see the pup. Finally, the old kennel-master bent to the girl's will, and Annalise was permitted to look in on the mother and her youngster.

It was all over for Annalise. As soon as she set eyes on the tiny puppy, she knew that she just had to have him. He was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen, what with his dark coat and scrunched up face -he hadn't even opened his eyes yet-. From that day forward, Annalise would say that she'd been bewitched by the pup - and, in time, derived his show name from the warm sense of peace she'd feel just by gazing upon him.

Magelight and Annalise grew up side by side, the gangly puppy following the youthful child everywhere she went. Horseback riding?
Magelight would lope alongside, every so often tripping over the paws he had yet to grow into. Sewing? The pup sat patiently at his mistress's feet, keeping watch on every person that entered the room. And she - she was loyal to him, sneaking him treats underneath the tablecloth, and taking him to Nikolas if she even suspected he felt under the weather.

These days, Magelight and Annalise spend their time visiting other families across Europe, even venturing into the deserts of the East if their hearts tug them there. The dark-furred hissan keeps his mistress safe from harm, and lets her drape strings of bluebonnets around his neck, and in return she provides him with shelter and food and scratches behind the ears. Really, what more could they both want?

All writing is based in a fantasy world that I'm writing for my characters to all fit in together, some parts of the lore are still developing and I try not to put things into too much detail to save you from reading a novel. cx

.....Anhur was actually stolen away as a pup by a King who thought he deserved to have everything beautiful in the realm. The Hissan was only a pup when he was taken but he didn't handle it particularly well. Being raised in a castle isolated from other canines because he was special with his gem-like fur. The King commanded that Anhur (called Sapphire then) be groomed every day, and trained only to sit beside the throne obediently. He wasn't even needed to training to guard anything because there were other dogs used for that job as well as a myriad of soldiers. He lived like this for a few years before things started to change, tensions rose and the King paid less heed to his prized decorations. Anhur was still well-taken care of by the royal staff but finally didn't have to act a prop. He had time to make friends with the felines kept around the palace, since he still wasn't allowed contact with the 'dirty' dogs. He had his peace for a long time before things changed drastically one day.

.....This day was when the King was killed in battle with the rebellion and King Kitcher took the throne. Kit didn't know what to do with the animals in the previous ruler's menagerie so he left the handling of that to what is called the Shadow Court or Dark Court. It is an organization of criminals run by a single 'King' who chooses all criminal activities done and manages resources and agreements with various other peoples. Lord Armeiv, the current Shadowed King, decided to send most of the animals found back to where they were originally taken. If they were too long in the care of humans to live on their own he had them placed in the care of people well qualified to manage their well-being. There were a number of other Hissans from the old king's kennels but Anhur didn't go with the others when they were sent back to the desert and tribes they were raised in. The glittering blue dog was quite nervous and tended to get aggressive towards other canines, he wouldn't handle life in the desert and thus in a pack well. Lord Armeiv sent him home to his estates to get training under his eldest daughter who managed the household while he was at his other business.

.....She had a talent with canines, wild or tamed, and would take him under her wing gladly. She marvelled at his unusual coat often in the first weeks that she got to know him. She was the one to change his name from Sapphire to Anhur meaning "sky bearer". He took to the new name well, it was easier to switch the name since he had never heard his original one used all that much. Zill quickly realized that he needed to learn most basic commands that even the pups already knew. He also didn't trust the other dogs though he seemed to like cats well-enough, and had a sort of attentiveness when it came to the horses.

.....With this in mind Zill continued his vigorous training, delighting in how well he caught on, while she also started thinking of potential homes. She liked Anhur but keeping a dog around who could potentially start fights with any number of other dogs she has in her charge is not a risk she cares to take. She also had a friend who was on the hunt for a dog to help guard her home but had the unusual conditions of living with large cats. The cats are a domestic type breed, refined over the centuries by her family, there are still wild ones out there but for the most part the felines are seen as hunting companions. They are quite hard to come by since they are only bred and trained by a single family, but the felines are popular among wealthier nobles. Of course, the leopard-sized cats aren't sold to just anyone either, buyers have to undergo intense training to prove they are worthy of the animal. So Zill knows the young-woman who is currently running the family business of the cattery would be a wonderful home for any animal. Anhur could potentially be extremely happy in a place like that surrounded by cats and little contact with other dogs.

.....A few weeks after coming to this decision she brought Anhur with her to go visit her friend. The moment you walk onto the lands you can feel the presence of predators all around. Hunters trained to keep watch for travellers, silent as the breeze while they follow along as if leading the small party forward. Anhur is alert watching the dense trees along the roadside and twitching every time he saw a flash of the silent escort. He doesn't seem afraid, more curious, which is a good thing for his chances of staying here. Anhur stays a silent shadow watching as the two woman say their hellos He has a slim silver chain fastened to his collar in order to keep him from wandering off but he goes to the end of it when the dark-haired woman kneels and holds out her hands to him. Its while he inspects her that he, and Zill for that matter, see the biggest cat to ever cross their paths.

.....The huge male somewhere close to 300 pounds steps out of the house and rubs his head against the back of his favourite human. His large mismatched silver and gold eyes stare at the newcomers with interest. Particularly at Anhur, who has gone fairly still. She cat makes a rumbling sound of pleasure when his lady stands and pats his head. Besides being unusually large for the breed, he has one of the more rare colourations of deep black with faint markings visible in the inky fur and his coat shimmers like rainbows under the light. His large canine teeth are elongated and stick out from his mouth like fangs, though not dipping past the bottom of his jaw. Anhur stares him down until the hulking cat moves forward, causing Anhur's ears to flick back and him to let out a small growl of warning. The cat gives a lazy blink in response before flopping down onto his belly followed by a yawn to show off his impressive teeth. The women are watching the pair in silence hoping that Anhur can handle this new place. Their patience is rewarded when Anhur copies the feline and flops onto his belly stretching his front legs out until his paws touch the cat's toes.

.....After that the two seem to be quite good friends starting a game of putting their paws on top of each other and playfully nipping at toes. Zill and Anhur's new owner laugh together in relief and can't hide their excitement that Anhur fits the bill on this unique new home. Being accepted by the dominant male cat right away will smooth the road in him meeting the other felines. He doesn't stay with them on that trip, rather coming back a few more times with Zill to ensure he'd be happy there, but in the end he does stay. He gets to meet the other humans on the property as well as the horses he would be helping to watch over. Him and the king of cats are inseparable for every trip.

How did you aquire him?/What was his past like?:
How he got to me: Thanatos used to be a street dog living in the shadows the only reason no one found him and took him in. One night a chilly night the cold nipping at my nose and causing my eyes to water. I continue to walk faster burrowing deeper into the hoodie I was wearing. A little while longer down the road I hear something in the shadows followed by a low growl and a large foot stepping out of the darkness. I don't know why but I wasn't afraid I felt drawn to the large black paw, I walk toward it not thinking just going with where my feet brought me not listening to everything else in my body screaming at me to stay away to turn and run. The thing comes out of the shadows I realize it's a large dog with strange markings, one of my eyebrow raises and I stick out a shaky hand he sniffs it and backs away. I work for an hour to get him to come to me and when I finally do I somehow get him to come with me to my car and get him in. He seemed nervous at first but quickly settled down. He had a cool Demeter like death and he happened to smell like it too which told me after I took him to the vet it was time for a nap. The whole drive to the vet had me wondering as I glanced back at him how someone wouldn't take in such a beautiful animal after the trip to the vet and her questions as to how I got such a interesting dog and with such a good "pedigree" so to speak usually being owned by rich people. I shrugged and explained how I found him, I could tell she didn't believe me because of how the type of dog usually is cared for and how beat up he was ontop of that how no one had taken him in, finally she let me go home. After about an hour of driving on rural country roads we get farther away from civilization until we're at the farm I live at. The farm has several acres and several large buildings scattered around that hadn't been used in a while but were kept in new condition there were also woods and a large pond and several creeks that ran across the property. I let him out of the car and let him sniff and wander around the property folllowing him at a distance until he come see to the second largest building on the property next to the house it was also extremely close to the house. I open the door and allow him to walk inside and wander around the upstairs and downstairs, it was clear he had chosen this place for him to stay building wise he'd still be allowed to roam the farm as he pleases I wasn't too worried about it since the farms fenced in and we needed a guard dog or two anyways, "Alright, you can stay here." I say calmly and leave for the night leaving the door crackled so he could come in and out of the building as he pleases. The next few days were doesn't playing with the dog, who was now named Thanatos and renovating the building to be a kennel and luxury area for dogs, or right now just Thanatos complete with a doggy door so they could come and go as they please around the farm.

Thanatos's Family and past: Thanatos was born in a foundation that seemed cold and lonely to him. He had two sisters and two brothers he may still have them but who knows, as far as he does know they're dead. Maybe he was the last born and they took his siblings out of the room to be locked away like they did him or maybe he was born first and they took him away before he could hear his brothers and sisters crying after birth. Maybe just maybe they'd been still born or died at birth, he doesn't know, he's was too young to remember eyes not even open yet, all he knew was the cold hard cage he was set in, the bottles they force fed him with, and the longing for his parents. As Thanatos grew to be a year old he heard talk and that's how he knew he had siblings but he never bothered to listen, his family wasn't his concern, he wanted out never to be seen again to love a life away from people but more importantly he wanted escape. So that's what he fought for when the guards let him out for bathroom breaks and play time with the others along with training he'd look for escape routes, he also worked hard in his training knowing it would come in handy for escape and then his life on his own. He searched for weeks until he found a loose bar over on the side of the permimitar he started using the bathroom over there when let out and hanging out by himself so it seemed normal for him to be in that area nudging and walking around, it became known as Hades corner, his former name because of his constant aggression. At night when the guards stopped bothering to watch him do his formal routine he pushed the loose bars out of place and slipped out running out into the night, he stuck to shadows knowing that's where he'd fit in seeing as his coat was dark. It was a cold autumn night he wasn't used to it the concrete and the cold wet real grass underneath his feet verses the rough turf he was used to (fake grass usually used on football fields.) he slipped between buildings and through ally ways the streets were empty so he was surprised when he heard the footsteps he saw a girl she was different from the humans he was used too she didn't look scary intact calm and innocent and cuddled up in some warm looking piece of clothing. He steps out of the shadow toward her and lets out a warning growl though he knew she wasn't harmful after what seemed like forever of her trying to get him to come out he finally gave in. Thanatos follows her to her car and gets in with caution anxious the first while before settling in he gets taken to the vet and listens annoyed to the humans bickering before finally he was back in the car again for another hour or so he was let out of the car and quickly started exploring every inch of the land he was brought to until he came to the fences. Finally he came to a large house and went in claiming it as his own. He watched over the next few weeks as it was transformed into a dog paradise and as he continued his trainingbuappy where he was.
