(For anyone)
A soft cry could be heard off in the distance. It was surely not human, though it was difficult to decipher. It would consist of short, loud yips and whistle-like howls. Anyone within earshot would be struck by curiosity.
It was Jandi, traveling toward the cities surrounding the castle in fox form. This way, she could travel much quicker, and hopefully avoid any who would wish to attack her, for prey or otherwise. She panted heavily, treading closer and closer to the large inhabitance, and would begin to decrease her speed, finally coming to a stop before a large tree. She lowered her form to the cool ground, eyes slowly closing.
Just as she finally began to relax, her head quickly shot upward, large ears swiveling, searching for the sound she'd just heard. It was a gentle rustling, somewhere off behind her. She couldn't quite determine where the sound was coming from, nor who was making it, not yet able to even make out a figure in the distance. She shook some, knowing she was headed toward claimed land and territory, and in being unsure whether she would be welcomed or not.
The sound, again, passed through large ears, and she quickly slid behind the tree, hoping not to be seen by whoever, or whatever, was making it.

Tamara's ears move back at the sound of the cry, Her blue eyes scanned the forest around her to find the sorce of the cry, She then picked up a odd scent. And so she decided to follow it. The woods around this kingdom were still somewhat new to her but for the most part she knew her way around. The scent lead her to a small fox, the source of the cry she belived. But Tamara remained hidden. Nothing stiried in her wake no leave or branches after all she wasnt of this world. She walked between worls, between realms capable of walking solidy on either or undetected in between them... She had been watching the small creature, curious on what it was... for it did not smell like a animal but instead that of a elf.... She wondered if it was a version of her own kind walking between two worlds, one of the humanoid and one of the beast. Tamara's ears swivled once more when she heard rustling of the bushes near to the fox... At that moment the wind changed direction and brought the full scent of danger her way as a large black wolf emerged from the area when the winds changed they brought the fox scent to the wolf just as the brezze brought the wolf scent to Tamara and so the beast had caught the scent of the fox... The wolf barred its teeth as it neared the tree, low growls coming from its throat Tamara took this chance and leaped out of her hidung spot shifting out of her shadow form that allowed her to walk unhindered by this world... Now she was in her full psysical form prepared to protect the young fox. Her head and shoulder collided with the wolf sending it flying away from the tree trunk... The black wolf was much smaller then Tamara but still came at her out of instnct... The wolf got up and growled at her Tamara just showed her own teeth and growled back. The black wolf jumped at her but Tamara met it in mid air tackling the oppsing wolf to the ground. The wolf bit her paw and she let out a howel but with it pinned Tamara closed her teeth around its neck for a moment to show she was the stronget one... When the other wolf stopped struggling she let go and stepped away as the wolf staggered to its feet and took off into the forest yelping... Her blues eyes were cold and her ears flat to her head untill she was satisfied that the wolf was gone... And then she turned to the tree... "You can come out now...." She said mentally.... "It is safe, I promise you that... She sat and waited for the fox to emerge....

Upon sighting the large black wolf, Jandi attempted to scurry up the tree. After several failed attempts, she had finally made her way up to a low branch, hardly out of reach of the large black canid. She shook nervously there, curling her bushy tail around her haunches. Ears flattened to her skull carefully.
Though it seemed that someone else was in the area. This caused the tiny vulpine to shake a bit harder. She kept her eyes tightly sealed. Great idea, wandering into unfamilar lands alone. - she thought to herself, mentally beating herself up. It was far less dangerous back in the woods. The black wolf's yelping alerted her, and she slowly opened her eyes as they drew further and further away.
Who was this other? And why did she save her? Upon receiving the other's message, she hopped from the low branch with feline grace. She eyed the other being carefully, defensively, leaning back on her haunches and ready to dart in the other direction. Nostrils flared, though the other was upwind of her, she couldn't catch her scent.. therefore unknowing of who or what she might be. She thought it best to remain in her current form. She made eye contact with the other, head slightly tilted to the side with a curios look to her face.
"H-hello?" She spoke softly, fluttering her ears back and forth a few times - a nervous habit. The tip of her tail flicked rhythmically as she stared the other down, trying to determine whether or not it was safe.

Tamara lowered herself to the ground laying down crossing her paws over one another as to show the young one she ment no harm. Her ears perked up her blue eyes soft. "Grettings young one..." She spoke kindly "I will not harm you. You have my word. You are safe now." Tamara studied the young fox a bit.... "Your not from around here are you?" she asked.

Jandi took a few steps forward, shaking her head slowly. "No, I am not." She studied the other carefully a bit longer, then emitting a sigh of relief. Tail tip still gave a bit of a twitch, ears now settling. "Are you familiar with the kingdom off in the distance? Is it safe?" It was then apparent that her goal was to reach Avalon. She tilted her head a bit once more, quite interested in the other. "By the way, my name is Jandi. And yours?"
She had calmed considerably, not normally as skiddish as she had been just then... you never know what to expect in new territory, though.

Tamara sat up wraping her long bushy tail around herself... She gazed down at the fox. " I am quite familiar with the kingdom... It lies not to far off we will be there before night fall, and yes it is safe. Stay with me and we will get you settled... You can either stay in the city tonight or you can stay with me in my den not to far away from it... You may be more comfortable there, in stead of a busy kingdom capital." She stood "Oh and my name is Tamara, Tamara Siverstreak."

Jandi smiled softly. "Thank you for your kindness.." but before she could finish her thought, she lost control of her form, bones twisting with soft cracks and creaks. d**nit.. She was definitely in need of training.. unable to fully control her abilities. She was sure that Tamara would attack her.. foxfoxfoxfoxfox c'monchangeback foxfoxfox her eyes clenched shut, but her efforts were fruitless. She slowly opened an eye, examining the other's reaction. There she stay, in her elven form, squatting as if still sitting the way a canid might. She hopped to her feet as she fully transformed, brushing a bit of dust from her attire. Her gaze never left the other.. she stared defensively.

Tamara didnt move she just looked at the girl, watched her... "Hmm i thought so...." The girl transformation proved her thought right as Her own form began to shimmer. Where the great silver wolf once stood now stood a slender other worldly elven female. A small smile came to her face, her blue eyes mystical... She had long silver hair and a slightly tanned face.. she wore lose clothing but it was conceled behinds a black cloak her sword also was hidden beneath the drape... "Kindness is a common thing in Avalon... Especialy between the elven races that live here...." SHe smiled once more and spoke again "We seem to be two of the same...but yet very different..."

Jandi was absolutely shocked, to say the least. She was right, they were similar, though entirely different.
She brushed a lock of hair away that shaded her vision, giving a soft, nervous smile. "I'm so glad to have met you, Tamara. You've been more help to me than I could ever imagine." She bowed her head a bit to the other. "I am in debt to you." She lifted her head to show an even wider smile.

She returned the grin with one of her own. "I am glad to have met you as well. It is not often i see one such as myself in these parts, Not since i left my tribe far to the east. Now come with me. We must go now. You look tired and hungry i bet... When we get to my home i will make you something to eat and then you can rest. And tomorrow i will take you into Avalon." Her form shimmered once more and she took on her wolf form once more. "Climb on.... I will take you with me between the realms...and we can travel with ease undetected..." She lowered her body so Jandi could climb on.

Jandi reluctantly climbed onto Tamara's back.. wondering just what she meant by 'traveling between realms'. She shrugged some. She was indeed in need of food and rest, and figured it was worth the risk. Besides, the other had been such a great help, she couldn't help but trust her. [Short because I have to get back to school..]
