You try to follow Ebony as quick as you can. She had changed from human to her original form, a wolf. The wolf bounded ahead of you, dissapearing from time to time. You keep telling her to slow down, but she payed no attention to your request. She soon pranced out of sight and you ran harder, trying to find her again. You gasp as you nearly fall off a rocky cliff.
"About time, really," Ebony said, coming out in her human form.
"What kind of wolf ARE you?" you ask, panting.
"Liaoke Wolf," Ebony said, obviously not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"Well, this isn't much of a palce for an animal to live in," you said, looking around.
You were in a small clearing with the rocky cliff, and a large river rushing by your left side.
"Well, no animals are going to live here," Ebony snorted.
"They aren't?" you asked, truely surprised.
"Of course not, they're going to there!" Ebony said, pointing to a large clearing below you.
"Well, how are we going to get down there?" you asked, crossed
"Jump," Ebony replied.
"Jump?" you asked, a bit shocked.
"Geromino!" Ebony cried as she jumped off the rocky cliff.
You gasped and peered over the side. Ebony fell, with a small splash, in a pool of water. You shrug, thinking you had nothing to lose and jumped as well. The wind whistled in your ears and slapped at your face. Splash! You feel safely in the pool. Ebony helped you out of the pool and handed you a towel. You shiver and huddled into the towel. you look around now. A waterfall cascaded down and fell into the small pool that you fell in. A small stream ran out of the pool and split into small deltas further down. The clearing here was large and the trees provided shade from the harsh sun.
"What's going to live here?" You asked Ebony.
"A Ziaroux," Ebony replied.
"A What??" You asked.
"Ziaroux, an animal that is part feline, wolf and dragon," Ebony replied.
"Ohh," you said, still not understanding.
Ebony shurg, smiled and  pointed to a shimmering portal.
"You can go to where they originated if you want," Ebony said.
Ebony then looked at the sun, and speed off into the forest.
"Not again!" You moan and tried to follow her.

You return to the large clearing, but this time you used the trail. Ebony said it was too cold to jump in the pool again. You didn't understand that, for it was the middle of Summer. The cool crisp air got to you and you shiver. It felt more like Fall then Summer. When you finally reach the clearing, Ebony was there. She was scanning the large clearing, looking for something. You look around also. A flash of blue caught your eye and you stared at it. A large animal stared back at you. Her black eyes were cold and she seem to be incontrol. She was calm and didn't even try to attack you. She had butterfly wings and a dragon tail. Ebony spotted what you were looking at and waved the creature over. It padded over and turned to you.
"Greetings Traveller. I am MoonDreamer, a Ziaroux," she said, her eyes scanning you.
"A Ziaroux is a animal mixed of wolf, feline and dragon. She, not like most of the animals, is not frightened of travellers, for she knows the forest better then any other traveller that stops by. Come, we must leave quickly, for there is still much to see," Ebony said and started off.
