Ember rushed back to the cave, her paws barely touching the ground. What if Flame's dead, she thought. A feeling of great dread swept over her.

She ran into the cave and saw Flames limp body laid on the ground. Blood came pouring out of his wounds, including his arm, where a chunk of flesh, muscle and veins had been ripped from it, exposing the bones. His mouth was open slightly, blood dripping out, also his eyes were open halfway and had glazed over.

Ember only had to glance at him to realize he was dead. She rushed forward and kissed Flame gently on the side of his muzzle, tears pouring down her cheeks.


Hunter slowly reached out and tore the arrow from his arm. He yelped in pain and winced. He slowly stood on all fours. "Bianca," he whispered softly.


Kane watched Bianca drawing in the shade of a large tree. He smiled and stared at her. He managed to summon the courage to go and talk to her. He stared for a while at her detailed drawing and the shading she was doing.

"I wish I could do that," said Kane.

"What, shading?" asked Bianca.

"No, no! Drawing…and writing. Also reading. Your very talented!"

"Oh, thank you Kane."

"Maybe you can teach me sometime. Y'know. To read, write and draw."

"I'm not a very good teacher."

They leaned closer together. Finally their lips met in a long, passionate kiss. Kane tugged on Bianca's skirt.

"I'm sorry Kane. I've got lessons with Queldrao," said Bianca breaking the kiss and running away.

DON'T FLAME MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
