Can't fight Fate (Lolth&Kirin Rosenbaum)
 

((Decided to use a new character))

Kristoff tugged at his dark chocolate hair. His teal colored eyes shifting around the area. He had no idea where he was or how he got there. He could see some trees, in fact all he saw was trees. He let out a low growl, thinking he should change forms. Being in his panther form would help him better at the moment then being in human form.

"Where the hell am I?" He asked to no one as he leaned his tall and lean body aginast a near by tree trunk. He check his person, seeing a few minor cuts and bruises on his body. Nothing seemed to be broken. "Guess I should start walking." He mumbled to himself. He set off westward, hoping to find a town or city of sorts.

((Going to use a variation on my character Kirin))

Kirin sits by a fire in a clearing in the woods. His long black hair is done up in a tight braid. He wears a simple brown tunic and green tights. His shoes are soft supple leather boots. He has long blood red angel wings. His bow and quiver are at hand and he wears a hunting knife on his waist. His hazel eyes take in everything even as he focuses on cooking the deer that he had killed a few hours earlier.

Kristoff smelled something cooking. Shifting to his panther form, he began stalking towards the smell. His senses were much more highten in this form than his human form. He could smell the cooking deer meat, just ahead of him. His golden amber eyes searching for the source of the smell. He saw the faint glow of a fire just up ahead, he hunched down low, watching the clearing. He saw a man there, one with long black hair in a tight braid. He had blood red wings and a bow and arrow. Kristoff shifted back to his human form, hoping that the man wouldn't attack him as he neared. Kristoff adjusted his own dark brown tunic. His dark brown hair curled around his ears and into his eyes, he pushed them back as he approached the fire. "Hello?" He called out.

The man doesn't turn from the cook fire as Kristoff approaches. Though he does smile a bit. "So you have finally arrived." He says. "I have been waiting for you here for a long while now." He continues to tend to the deer on the fire. "The food is almsot ready. Would you care to join me?"

Kristoff was taken aback from the man's voice. He was expecting him this whole time? Kristoff's brow wrinkled in a frown as he came around and sat near the fire. He was across from the strange man, fully taking in his appearence. He had never seen anyone like him before, or had he? He couldn't remember anything before he woke up. "Do we know each other?" He asked, his stomach aching at the smell of the food.

"We have not met before if that is what you mean." He offers the man a plate of meat. His hazel eyes are penetrating as if they are looking into your soul.

Kristoff too the plate of food, ever thankful for it. "Then how do you mean you were waiting for me?" He asked as he took a bite of the deer meat. He could feel the man's eyes pirecing his soul as he ate. He didn't care though, he was so hungry he couldn't do anything but eat the food he was given. He didn't even care if it was poison or not. The meat melted like butter in his mouth, the sweet flavors of deer washed over his tongue like a delightful wave. "Hmmm.. this is the best thing I have ever tasted. Or at least I think so. I can't really remember!" Kristoff said in a joking manner.

"I mean I knew you were coming. I just didn't know when. So I've been waiting here for you. I knew you would come eventually." He smiles as he eats his own food. "I am glad you enjoy the food." He says with a smile.

Kristoff had finished off the last bit of meat on his plate. Setting the empty plate down infront of his soft leather clad feet, Kristoff looked up at the man. "Well, I honestly have no idea where I am or what I am doing here." He said, rubbing the day worth of stubble on his face. "I am Kristoff Swiftcat." He said, leaning forward, his hands between his knees. He was curious about how this man knew that someone was coming and how he got here as well. Kristoff was more interested in how he got himself there. Why did he happen upon this man's camp at the same time he was waiting for him to show up.

"You may call me Kirin." His voice has an other worldly quality to it. "I don't know where I am either but I do know that I was sent here to wait for the one who could help me regain that which I have lost."

Kristoff regarded this name called Kirin for a moment. He had never heard such a name before, or at least that what he felt. "Do you know what the something is? Or how we go about in finding it?" Kristoff asked, his voice was deep and earthy sounding. It had a bit of a rasp to it, like the sound of a panther when it roared or hissed. His eyes were a light golden amber in the firelight, they seemed to glow witht he fire.

"I know what it is... though I do not know how to find it again. Though I truly believe you are the one to help me regain it.

Kristoff looked at him, his eyes searching his. "That is an odd thing to know. Well.. I guess I will help you. I don't know if I belong anywhere and perharps I will find myself as well." He said. It was true, he had no idea where he was suppose to be. Perhaps Kirin was right and he was meant to help him find whatever it was he was looking for. It would give him a purpose, at least for a while. Who knows what they will find along the way.

((Oh just so you know I might post on here as my mule which is Lady Rosenbaum.))

Kirin smiles at Kristoff. "You are not human." He says.

((:D Ok! I have no issue with that. ^^))

Kristoff bit his lower lip a bit. "That's correct. I am not. I am a shifter, I take the form of a large black panther." Kristoff said. He eyed Kirin. He wasn't human either, but that wasn't hard to see due to the man having large blood red wings. "Neither are you, I can see." He said with a gentle smile. "What are you?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." He says a small smile on his lips.

Kristoff shrugged at him. "Maybe, or maybe not. You never know." He said with his own playful smile. "Its already been a strange day, I wouldn't doubt anything you said right now." He added, proping his head up in his left hand.

Kirin smiles his hazel eyes sparkle. "Tomorrow we will head out."

Kristoff smiled and shrugged again. Perhas one day Kirin would let him in on what he is. Kristoff stetched his long body out, then looked at Kirin. "Mind if I sleep in my animal form?" He asked the other man, enjoying the hazel eyes. Kristoff always had preferred to sleep in his animal form, it felt natural to him to be in that form over his human form.

Kirin smiles at him. "Of course not. I look forward to seeing your panther form"

Kristoff smiled at Kirin before shifting into his panther form. It never hurt him when he shifted, he didn't understand it himself. As a panther he was large and sleek, he came up to a human man's waist. His paws were large, almost as large as his hands as a human. He curled up near the fire, his intense amber eyes looking at Kirin.

Kirin finds Kristoff's panther form to be stunning. Though he'd like to stay near the fire all night he knows he must take his nightly flight. "If you will excuse me there is something I must do before I rest for the evening." He stands up and is six feet tall. He unfurls his wings.

Kristoff watches with his glowing amber eyes. He couldn't speak human tongue. He merely watched in wonder as the man stood and unfurled his wings. Kristoff had never seen anything like it before, it was quite amazing to him. He watched as Kirin took flight, then curled up next to the flames. He wondered what Kirin had to do while he started to doze off.

Kirin breathes in the night air as he flies. He wonders what Kristoff would say if he knew what this quest would entail. What Kirin had lost was his throne. He was a king and his brother had stolen his throne from him. He knew that Kristoff would be the one to help him and then rule by his side. He just didn't know how Kristoff would react if he knew this. Soon he returns much refreshed. He lands and sits slipping into a meditative state.
