Number: #6
Picture:
Name: Kaede
Protector: Kindia

Protector's Gender: Female

Protector's Species: Red-tailed hawk

About Protectors: Protectors are animals, usually birds, assigned to protect a creature of extraordinary power.

Species: Zerphisa (Sapian fox X Sapian wolf)

About the Species: When the planet Sapia was discovered, the only canine species there was the Sapian Wolf, a hardy, long legged creature with wings. Depending on their lifestyle, whether they were good, or evil, they either had bird wings (good) or bat wings (evil). Also, Sapian wolves, or Zereni, hunted as they were by the Demon Wolves, or Demoi Nidivay, had special powers, one elemental, like Air, and one non-elemental, like super-speed. There was another significant difference, the 'Elements' consisted of Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Ice, Energy, Darkness and Light.
Sapian wolves were, and still are, very intelligent, intelligent enough to be able to speak to each other in fluent Sapian.

Sapian Foxes, or Rephisa, on the other hand, are a bit of an anomaly, though it is believed they are spirit-creatures. Coming from absolutely nowhere, the strange fox-creatures soon began to take over the planet, driven back only by the sheer numbers of the wolves. However, over time, the wolves and foxes have learnt to accept each other, and some have even bred, creating a whole new, incredibly powerful, but relentlessly persecuted, species; the Zerphisa, hunted throughout Sapia because of their existence, and amazing transferable powers.




Personality: Kaede is petrified of nearly everything, despite her ferocious looking markings. Having lived most of her life hiding, and being insulted by the members of her wolf mother's pack, she has quickly learnt to fade into the background, though at the moment, she doesn`t realise that it`s part of her power. The younger pack members were wary of her at first, but as soon as they found out that she was shy, they made it their mission to bully her- but that was before the arrival of the handsome black stranger, Kiraki.
Likes: Kiraki, healing, her protector, hiding.
Dislikes: large gatheringing of wolves, being vulnerable, when people get hurt.
Background: Zippurra stood at the foot of Mount Zereni, the home of her pack, scenting the wind.
The wind ruffled her silver fur, and she smiled, her amber eyes lighting up.
As an Elemental gifted with the power of Air, she loved to stand with her face to the wind, as sometimes the essence itself appeared, like a thin silver ribbon, giving her advice and helping her pack.
Now, as she stood, deep in thought, a familar flash of silver light lit up the horizon.
<Hello, Zereni.> Hissed the Air.
<Air. Is there a reason for your call?> Zippurra thought, a smile lifting the corners of her black lips.
<Isss there ever not?>
<Well, not really.>
<Then I'll tell you this, look to your sisters.>
<My sisters? But Tanzanee, Constanee, Liaoli, Shenivay and Fleather are in the dens.>
<Not Zereni-Sisters, the other, the half, she needs help.>
<Another sister? Where?> Zippurra began to think, desperately, but the Air had gone.
"Well, thanks." She grumbled aloud, running to the dens.
"Sirex?" She called to her mate, a pure black wolf with amber eyes. "I need you to come with me, now."
Sirex nodded and joined her, as the two ran off in seach of her lost sister.
*

Kaede breathed slowly and quietly as she cowered under a fallen tree at the edge of her pack lands.
She could smell the cubs nearby, and knew that if they found her alone, they could kill her.
Just breathe, and stay quiet. She thought, terrified. Then they won't find you.
There was a snuffling sound nearby and a voice, calling out. "Laeth?"
Kars, the worst of the lot, was right by her hiding place. Kaede froze in terror.
"Here, Kars." Another voice replied. Laeth, Kars' right hand wolf.
Yet another voice sounded, Tica, the youngest, sounding confused. "But if you're there, who is it in the tree?"
The snuffling got louder, and suddenly Kars gave a sudden bark of laughter.
"Look who it is! Kaede! So glad to see you, vermin."
There was a sudden rush of air as Laeth reached in and grabbed Kaede by the scruff of her neck, dumping her on the ground in front of the rest of the cubs, who smiled menacingly.
Kars grinned. "Who wants to see a real live fox-hunt?"
Kaede snarled. "I am not a fox!"
"Well you're not a wolf, so you're a fox to me." Kars growled, leaping at her.
Kaede shrieked and bounded away into the woods, the cubs on her tail.
*

Kaede had began to tire, she had been running for hours and a few of the cubs had got in lucky swipes, her blood-like markings were now criss-crossed with real blood. I must... keep... running! She yelled in her mind, but, though she could hear Kars breathing heavily behind her, she began to slow.
Kars roared in triumph and swiped at her, making her fall to the ground.
The cubs bark-laughed and sprang and Kaede tried to crawl away, but Laeth grabbed her paw in his muzzle and pulled. She shot backwards, slamming into a tree, and lay sprawled on the floor.
Kaede's vision began to dim as the cubs slashed out at her, but just as she was about to fall into the warm, enveloping darkness, she heard the cry of a bird of prey.
Kars ignored it and smiled as he moved in for the kill.
*

A shriek cut through the air as an Indian Black Kite dived towards the cubs, raking his talons across Laeth's eyes, who screamed. Kars froze, surprised, but didn't turn.
A flash of dark light and a snarl marked the arrival of another creature, and instantly the Kite flew towards the shadowed thing.
"Get away from her." The creature said in a calm voice, with a hint of menace. "Now."
It walked closer, and Kaede saw that it was a tall black male wolf, with red tipped fur and red wings.
"If you were a true wolf, you wouldn't mind us attacking a Zerphisa." Kars growled, not moving.
The black and red wolf smiled slightly. "Indri!" He called, and the Kite swooped down again.
The wolf fell to the floor, and the Kite's eyes glowed yellow as it swooped, straight at Kars.
Kars frowned, puzzled, and only just managed to jump aside as the Kite struck.
The Kite circled away, and the wolf got up again, eyes glowing.
"I am a spirit-walker. Flee if you value your lives!" he snarled, dark Light radiating from his coat.
Kars and the half-blind Laeth yelped and ran for the camp with the cubs.
Kaede shrieked as she lay gasping on the floor, and the Kite fluttered to the ground in front of her.
"My dear lady, are you ok?" The Kite the wolf had called Indri said kindly. "My name is Indri."
The wolf flew over, concern reflected in his yellow eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Fine." Kaede shuddered, getting to her feet. "Thank you Indri, and you are?"
"Kiraki." The wolf smiled. "And you are... Kaede."
Kaede looked confused, but Kiraki spoke again. "I've been searching for you, Indri said you'd be here."
"Then I guess I have you and Indri to thank for my life." Kaede smiled.
Kiraki looked slightly unsettled, he was silent for a long while.
"I've known you a long time." He finally said. "We met as cubs, during the war of the Zerphisa."
Kaede gasped, she remembered the summer they had spent together, the black cub she'd fallen in love with.
"Kirr? What happened?"
"Long story." Kiraki grinned. "But I know one thing, we have to head to the mountain of the wolves."
"NO!" Kaede squeaked. "Not wolves!"
Kiraki looked hurt. "I'm a wolf."
"Not a huge pack."
"Good point, Kae."
Kaede smiled as Kiraki used her nickname from her childhood. "So, Ki, let's get going!"
"Okay, Kae." Kiraki grinned, and they set off towards the mountain.
*

The mountain was looming on the horizon when Kiraki and Kaede ran into some trouble.

A huge pack was waiting in front of them, two familar wolves at the head of the pack.
Kaede and Kiraki gasped at the same moment, expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"Kire?" Kiraki gasped.
"Kars?" Kaede hissed.
The two wolves grinned at the pair. "Hello, freaks."
As if responding to a signal, the pack converged on the two.
Kiraki and Kaede stood back to back, snarling.
Indri swooped down from the sky, and a red tailed hawk swooped with him.
"Kaede!" Indri called. "I found your protector! Her name is Kindia!"
Kindia nodded to Kaede and attacked, side by side with Indri.
"Let's get 'em!" Kaede smiled, launching herself at the nearest wolf, Kiraki by her side.
Kars roared with fury that they were escaping, and bit down on Kiraki's neck.
Kiraki's eyes dimmed as he collapsed. He saw his protector scream in pain and fall towards him, saw Kaede cry out and stumble towards him crying out. "Kiraki! NO!" Then his eyes closed and he saw no more.
Kaede saw Kars kill Kiraki and cried out, she stopped fighting and stumbled to Kiraki's side, just as Indri hit the floor.
Kindia fluttered weakly to Kaede's side, sobbing.
The pack snarled and charged.
Kaede didn't even look up.
*

A high-pitched shriek resonated around the battlefield, as the Sapian pack roared into battle, Liaoli and Zippurra, together with their mates, Nyte and Sirex, at the head.
The other pack yelped and ran away, Kars the fastest, with Kire crying behind.
Kaede still stared at Kiraki's motionless form, tears stinging her eyes.
Zippurra walked up to Kaede.
"Sister." She said quietly. "Do not grieve, he's not yet dead."
"Zippurra?" Kaede said. "I've waited so long, sister."
Zipprra smiled sadly, and her sister Tanzanee ran forward.
"He needs healing, but it would take a stronger healer than me to save him, he is, strictly speaking, dead." SHe said.
Kaede lay a paw on Kiraki's side and spoke three words under her breath, the only healing words needed.
"I love you."
Kiraki's body glowed and he sat up, Indri squawked and flew to his shoulder.
"Kiraki!" Kaede cried out, joyfully. "KIRAKI!"
Kiraki smiled at Kaede as he got up. "I love you too."
Indri smiled and said the exact same thing as Kiraki had, to Kindia.
Both Protector and Elemental fainted at the same time, and Kiraki and Indri laughed as they woke up.
"You haven't changed."
"Is that a good thing?"
"Yes."
"Then I never will."

Powers: Kaede, is an Energy Elemental, a healer, and a glamourist [able to disappear at will.]
Because she's a Zerphisa, if she is killed in battle, her powers are transferred to her killer, so she has to watch out.
