((Sure..that's fine...))
Aidan suddenly found himself someplace snowy. Furrowing his brow, he wondered why. His eyes watched as a pack of wolves dashed past, wolfhounds following close behind. One resembled Ebony a lot. He found himself calling after her, but his voice wouldn't work. Halting, he heard hoofbeats and looked behind him. Seeing the horsemen, he jumped out of the way. Landing easily in the snow, he watched, wondering what was going on.

A wolve looked back and snarled, halting. He was sick of running. The other wolves followed hsi example and snarled, their fur bristling. Their snouts were covered in bloods as well as their claws. One carried a dead lamb and spat it out to howl. Other Ebony answered it with a blood curtling howl and lunged at the leader, a huge male but he wasn't as big as her. There was a pause, and all hell broke loose. Hounds went at wolves while wolves went after them. The horsemen bellowed adn screamed, a woman in their midst. She cried out as a wolf attacked her mount, making it squel and rear up. THe wolve lunged at it again and the horse bolted, leaving the woman alone with the wolve. She drew a sword and said something in Gealic at the beast, her face set ad determined. Ebony lifted her head at the scream and snarled, turning around and fighting her way to the woman.

Aidan watched, his eyes widening. That was Ebony...just older. Getting up, he found that he suddenly had a sword in his hand, but nothing else to protect himself. He wanted to help that woman as well, so he battled his way forward and found one particular wolf lunging at him. He fought it off well, and kept going, wanting to help his dog and that woman.

The woman yelled and slashed at the wolf, her head covered with a helmet. SHe wore chain mail over wool clothing. But she wasn't halted by the heavy metals. Quickly, she jumped to her feet and slashed at the wolf again. Ebony lept over a wolf trying to flee a large white male Wolfhound adn ran over, lunging at the wolf. The wolf turned adn snarled, bititng at her. SOme of teh men saw the woman was off ehr horse and yelled, one word clear in teh jumble,Shaman!

Aidan had finally reached her side, and was now helping defend her. When a wolf would attack from the side, he would slash at it and help bring it down. Seeing Ebony get bitten, he looked voer in worry and fear.

Ebony tossed the wolf away from her and le[pt, her fangs sinking into its neck. The wolf cried out and trashed, giving its death squels. But soon, it was still. THe other wolves were taken care of and Ebony trotted back to Aidan and the woman, whining. THe woman smiled at Ebony and knelt down.Oh sweet Ebony Honey. You are hurt,[/b] she said, her words Gealic.

He watched as the wolves eventually fell and then Ebony came over. He was about to comfort her, but then the woman bent down. Furrowing his brow, he let his sowrd drop. He somehow understood what the woman was talking about.Wait...she isn't yours..is she? He asked, confused.

The woman looked up at him, blinking.SHe isn't mine. She is the desendant of the Hunter Goddess's hound. SHe is the gaurdian of our village, you should know that, she said and studied him.You.. you are not from oour village! She stepped back, her eyes wide. Suddenly, the raspy sound of sword sbeing drawn filled the air and the horsemen pointed their swords at him, some pointing spears at him. They were all mounted again. Ebony, looked at the men, standing between Aidan and the woman.

Aidan's eyes widened when she spoke, and then he suddenly stepped back at her realization.B-but..I don't want to hurt you..please...I didn't mean anything by it... The fear that always plagued him when he thought he was about to get hit or abused or hurt suddenly filled him and he backed away, almost shrinking down.

One of the men looked over at the woman.Shaman, what shoudl we do to teh outsider? he asked gruffly, his voice touched with mountian burr. The shaman woman looked at Aidan with bright brown eyes.I do not know. GO back to teh village. I will return shortly, she said. The men sighed but left, filing down teh mountian. A couple men stayed behidn to gather the wolf carcasses but they were soon gone two. Ebony whined softly and looked from Aidan to the woman.

As the woman instructed the men to leave, he grew slightly more relaxed. But he knew that she could still hurt him, so he was being cautious. He stepped away from her, not wanting to be close to anyone he didn't know. He watched her with confusion, and then looked down at Ebony. Looking back up, her questioned softly, finding newfound strength.What do you want exactly?

The woman watched him catiously, her eyes narrowed.Who are you? What village are you from? she asked quietly, sliding her sword back into it seath. Ebony whined softly and nuzzled Aidan's hand before going over by the shaman.

He heard her question and hesitated, wondering if he should tell her the truth. But he didn't know any villages, so he would have to tell her. SIghing softly, he looked down as Ebony nudged his hand and then gazed back up.My name is Aidan..and I'm not from any village.

The shaman watched him, her fingers brushing over her sword hilt, watching him. She looked to be Aidan's age or a year younger. A soft smile came to her lips as she thoguth.You must be a gaurdian from the heavens, she said.We did not see you when teh battle started and you appeared when the wolves became deraged. Her cheeks were flushed slightly from the clod but she was excited also.What god do you serve? Ebony walked over and nuzzled his hand before sitting next to him.
