Another morning came. Cold, seeping into the bones, was unwelcome. The hellcat leather did little to stave off the cold. Her eyes darted to scan the surroundings and her nose flared up, taking up the scents that were around her. All was normal, or what passed for normal in this land. She got up, slowly, finally stretching her good arm, touching the ceiling of the small cave. After allowing her body a minute to relax, she silently moved to the entrance of the cave. It was a small crevice, barely large enough for a human to slide in sideways, something that provided her with much needed security during the nights. She slid herself out, and was greeted with a cold gust of wind, somewhat energizing her. She scanned the surroundings and no footprints were seen in the mud around. It had rained the previous day, which meant today was hunting day. The forest was silent, as everyday. Only the wind was singing to her. And danger looking at every step.

Cold hard floors, the smell of incense mixed with a faint aroma of tea and honey, Kyoto was always the same. In months past, he'd have enjoyed waking up to such aromas in such an exotic location. Alas, no more. He felt older than he should have done, the family he was sent to guard required constant watch, his obligation to the Dragons took away most of his time, and playing ambassador took away the rest. His habit of smoking had increased, his weight dropped and his mind hardened. He missed home, he missed his brothers and the smell of mown grass on Cambridge. He longed for the mountains and the little rivers, but his duty required him to stay, at least for a little longer. He had stupidly volunteered for a patrol in the sigmas two weeks ago, but it turned out to be a happy mistake, since the Service had asked him to check on the region, concerned about Rheinland's progress was the line they gave him. He pulled his flight suit on as he trudged to the hanger bay for the millionth time.
