Rapidrun of the Night
Rapidrun of the Night, that was the black and white dog's name, the dog who used to bring down bears and the like. His breed was proud and powerful dogs, who walked with their heads raised and their features majestic, but cautious none the less. Rapidrun was no different. He had been a faithful hunting dog who risked his own life to attack creatures three times his size,relying on his human partner to help him through all the hardships of the wild. He was trained to be a hunting dog as a pup, and the first thing he learned was that his human, a large, middle-aged and tough man, was the master.
The four-year old Karelian bear dog had many memories of his adventures. He learned that to survive, he had to eat the musky, game meat that his master always gave him around the fire when they went out on hunting trips. But luckily, Rapidrun was not a picky eater. He was trained without any loopholes, and took no shortcuts. Many times his training helped him even when his master was hospitalized. But of course, that didn't mean he was with perfection. Just like any other dog, he had faults. But one thing that made him stand out, was his four years of experience. And when Rapidrun ended up on the streets, he always told himself "It will get better."

His story begun when he ended up in a small town. It wasn't anything special, a few houses, cars parked on the streets, and people walking home from the markets. "Not a bad place." He thought out loud to himself, and decided to go scrounging around after dark to see if he could pick up any bites to eat. The black and white dog took cover in a small lot, strewn with weeds and mud. There he knew he would be safe, but that was before he caught sight...Of a distant forest.
"I heard that there was a forest around here...Its surprisingly huge." Just then a strong wind picked up, blowing Rapid's fur around. He squinted when the wind stopped. "It seems like it really is cursed..." He had heard one or two tales about animals never coming out of the forest after they went in. "I don't believe in that stuff. I bet theres just some loose bear or cat in the forest." He snorted.
And that is how Rapidrun managed to get into the forest, and didn't realize he wouldn't be able to find his way out...
