"What's wrong?" I asked Hivani as she shook violently, "Ahzen" Inasdo whispered and looked to the north, I frowned and watched as my darkest ahzenai made his way over to the door waiting patiently to leave. Duriel walked silently alongside me as we wandered waiting for an entrance to ahzen to reveal itself to the two us, Duriel remained silent as was the norm for him. I broke into a steady jog toward a large tree, I had a feeling that an entrance was very near it my dark coated companion kept up easily even though the pace was a slow trot. When the ground suddenly dropped away I knew the entrance had revealed itself, skidding to a halt my eyes scanned the walls for a safe way down into the crevasse.
My companion pressed a slender paw into a an indent in the great brown trunk of the tree and there was a horrific creak as the tree began to move, my eyes widened in shock as the top soil fell away to reveal a natural hole. I stepped into it and found myself loosing balance and spiraling down, hair flowing out behind me as I fell, the darkness loomed and I lost vision rights. It wasnt until I heard running water I knew where I was heading for, as I tumbled through the air I noticed Duriel had vanished, the water and I met with a terrific splash.
Soaking humans that were stood on the bank with or without ahzenai companions, regaining my wits I began to swim upward toward the lakes surface. My head broke the surface and I gasped coughing out the small amount amount of water that had worked its way into my mouth. Now dark hair hung in front of my eyes hindering my vision as I treaded water. Lifting the sopping wet curtain from in front of my eyes I slowly swam toward the shore, halfway there I caught sight of the vortex as it began to swirl slowly.
A deep shade of grey came into existence and was followed by a beautiful dark purple which gave way to a much brighter shade and finally a vibrant orange to top it all off. An ahzenai stepped elegantly from the vortex and looked down her snout at all the suitors on shore, after a few seconds of careful observation she slowly began to walk forward. She put much thought into each step of a paw as she walked looking for all the worth like she was putting no effort in whatsoever. "My name," she smoothly began after pausing in her gait, "is Elvira. It is a pleasure to see you all."
Elvira, lightly nodded at each suitor in turn, being sure her head still held its elevated angle and that she had made eye contact with each before dipping her head. "I would love to find a companion here and see what lovely things the world offers."
Her voice was as smooth as silk and rang out like a small silver bell, I loved her immediately. Swimming to shore I stepped out of the water and wrung the worst of the water out of my hair and clothes. A dark shadow moved to my side and a warm soft tail curled gently round my wrist, I didn't even have to look to know that Duriel had found his own way into Ahzen. We slowly headed toward Elvira showing teeth to some of the more fragile humans who jumped back squeaking in fright.
We came to halt in front in the orange decorated ahzenai and bowed lowly "greetings Elvira I am Fenris and this is Duriel" I said gesturing to my dark coated companion who flicked his tail response the bright red of his ruff coupled with his light face making him look slightly sinister. Elvira was one of the most beautiful ahzenai I had ever seen, the orange crackling through her dark element was almost hypnotizing and I found my blue eyes flicking back to it over and over again. Shaking my head I began to speak again. "Duriel and I wish for you to join us as we explore the world finding secret places and hidden treasure we offer our lives and our friendship to you the most beautiful creature to ever walk this earth, for surely you are more beautiful than a shimmering rainbow after the rain has been."
Elvira you are more beautiful than the full moon on the darkest night of each year. The outside world is filled with so many wonders, mountains whose tops are hidden in the highest of clouds, waterfalls so high you cant see their tops, sand dunes that go as far as the eye can see and further still, trees so tall they dwarf even the tallest of humans, forests that stretch for miles. We have scaley critters that change colour when they are looking for food or just because they want to hide from bigger creatures. If you would come with us we could show these wonders, I would very much love for you to explore the wonders of the natural world with the both of us because I think you are indeed amazing Duriel told her. We dropped into grand sweeping bows and walked away to settle on a rock near the water, where we could watch the sunlight that filtered through the small holes in the earthen roof of ahzen dance upon the water.
