"Well," murmurs Fred darkly at Astra's rather perky disposition. "You
certainly seem chipper this afternoon!" The warrior princess seems about
ready to jump over the ceiling rathers. Her tail and ears are twitching
enough to give even the densest farmhand the news that she was extremely
happy about something!
"Freddy," she whispers, a sly grin on her vulpine face. "I've heard
the most interesting news! It seems that latter on tonight, the very were-bear
we are looking for, Synizn, is going to be HERE! Just latter on tonight!"
Frederigo's young, boyish face is a study of shock....and surprised
pleasure. Indeed, now HIS foxtail is thrashing about and his ears are twitching
in excitment as the vixen whispers what has happened earlier in the bar.
Now, though Astra and Fred are too excited about the turn of events
to figure out that this is NOT something to discuss in a public place,
normal human hearing couldn't pick up the whispering. Nor does the obvious
whispering in a dark corner table attract any mundane human attention.
The ears it DOES capture is....somebody who isn't always human.
Synizn pretend to drink the ordered drink he had ordered, listening
intently to the whispered conversation of the demi-foxes. He blinks at
the mention of the Crystallic, and feels his all too human heart beat a
bit quicker! A quickly whispered matra brings his body back into control,
and the were-bear listens on. Control and discipline are the only....ONLY
thing that kept the beast under control! Without the teachings the Oriental
dragons had given him on a rare occasion where Occidental and Oriental
draconian people had interacted, who knows HOW much under the sway he would
be due to his lycanthropic curse! As it stood, he lived a life of a monk,
and rarely gave into vices (which sometimes made the were-bear wish he
COULD do a little sinning).....
As it was.......best to stop the young pups whispering before REAL unfriendly
ears caught wind of what they speak of! The Organization ....also known
as the Syndicate, took a dim view on anything that would free up an....investment
they had made with Minestus' project. Rumor had it that serveral shady
people had FUNDED the research.....in order to perfect some Black Bag research
into the medical magci field! To be able to regenerate limbs....recover
from any injury that doesn't kill a...... mechanic.....would be a real
plus for any crimelord or warlord! So what if it left the recipient with
a furry coat!
That was why Synizn and his Friends were trying desperately to find
the Pack a new home! Deny the SOBs a tool that could very well shift the
balance of power and.....save the already long suffered Pack needless torture
in some dark mage's alchemist laboratory!

 The demi-foxes stare at
the rough clothed man dressed in leathers as he sits next to them.......and......
Go Back
