Continued from page 18- thanks for all the positive comments guys ^^
As you could imagine, I was deeply shocked and saddened by the news Maybelle had to tell me on that dreadful day.
I had grown considerably since she had found me. I was only an infant at the time of my discovery and now many moons had passes since that very day. I was at a healthy level 13 and about 2"2 feet tall, which I learned later on was rather tall for others of my species. "You're just different", Maybelle would say cuddling me closely and curling her long tail around me, "and you're going to be so much taller and more handsome than anybody else once you're grown up". I loved her so, and I hugged her furry tail in adoration.
We rested inside the base of an enormous oak tree, which inside contained a network of tunnels leading underground. There were three chambers; one for sleeping in during inclement weather and winter, another for keeping food, and the final which contained many interesting things. Tools, gems, and other pieces great prices were kept here, and Maybelle told me to stay out of there at all times. I was happy to listen to my mother...
I'd been laying in bright sunlight on a rock by our tree one day, when Maybelle approached me, out of breath.
"Maxwell", she had named me, "I must go now. You are at level 13 and you can take care of yourself. I have these for you", she handed me a leather pouch, "use them wisely. I love you very much and I do not want to have to part with you so swiftly, but it's the only option. Quick! You must hide!"
She scooped me up in her jaws and flung me off of the rock and into some yew bushes nearby. After being dizzy for a few moments, I regained my senses and almost burst out of the bush, when I saw something that made me freeze. Maybelle was not alone. Two enormous orange and white beasts had burst forth from the opposite side of the clearing and were growling at my mother. They approached her angrily, growling and crouching- threatening my mother with their fangs. At once, they leaped. The larger of the two tripped my mother as she hissed and tried to dodge, and as she fell the other beast pressed his huge paw onto her side and held her down. She spat at them and tried to fight. My mother
I sprang from the bushes and I lunged at the two giant beasts, swinging my thin arms and legs. I let loose a battle cry "AEIIIIII!" and mustered my best headbutt into the first beast's leg. It didn't move, and after I fell onto the ground I glanced up at it to see it smiling at me with an almost sweet expression. I grew angrier.
"Hey Raoul, get a load of this little runt. I don't think I've ever seen a Scraggy this far out before." The big beast had an enormous Raikou striped head, and it had deep blue eyes. Even though he attacked who I loved, he seemed almost gentle. Raoul glanced at me and smirked too, and then proceeded to snarl into Maybelle's face. "You thought you could run forever? You knew it was only a matter of time before we got you."
