Elena looked over at him and blinked then nodded and looked up ahead “hmm… you would be right… though I am not tired… so if you want to rest it is ok to do so… I am not about to sleep.” She said looking at him smiling.
She glanced at the clouds and frowned then looked ahead and sighed keeping her ears on alert “Hmm” she looked over at the sound of a twig though not sure hoe far it was seeing a figure in the distance. She leaned forward pulling her legs to her “It is ok… if you are tired… then sleep.” She said glancing over to him.

His ear twitched hearing the sound as well and was about to look around to see where it had came from before Elena gave him the okay to rest. Arigoth stared at her for a few seconds concerned but smiled to her. Thinking to himself he was probably just hearing things and only worrying for nothing again. With the ease of knowing he was able to rest for at least a little while he brought his legs up onto the tree, and placed his arms under his head as a rest. From the angle of the tree his head was towards Elena and his feet pointed towards the ground as he lied there on his back.
Surprisingly he was quite comfortable lying against the hard tree and staring up at the sky. After only a short while of staring up at the cloudy morning sky his eyes began to slowly shut as he was thinking of multiple things and the sounds around them of the light wind was starting to fade, relaxing and soon falling asleep, and so quickly too. His breathing pattern had changed, it was longer breaths and deeper ones at that to create a light snore.

Elena smiled at him and then looked up and around frowning. She got up and walked around the place in a few large circles sweeping the area while wondering what it was she had seen earlier.
She turned around hearing a low growl and noticed a Panther going for Arigoth. She stopped and smiled slightly as he panther walked in curious and yet on edge. “Fahd…” she said softly kneeling down and held her hand out as the panther looked over at her… its green eyes glowing and it playfully jumped over to Elena as its head stroked her hand and then rubbed its head on her side purring loudly.
“Have you been the one following us?” she said stroking him as Fahd’s claws retracted and he sat down looking over at Arigoth his tail flicking. “Hehe its ok.” She looked around again “did you eat?” she said into its mind and heard Fahd’s response smiling to herself and stood back up “Don’t eat him…” she said into his ear and walked off into the distance as Fahd walked over to Arigoth… if he could have he would be smirking and pulling faces at him while he slept. Instead he walked around the tree several times.
Elena placed her hand on the ground letting ripple of water go everywhere, it was like the ground had been cut open and then filled with water as it went around in a circle around the area they had been in as she sent out small tiny lakes no more then 1cm apart so the area wouldn’t look suspicious. If anything went to come near them they would get the water which Elena would be able to hear and if not Fahd would be able to.
It was a good defensive system she used as she walked back and sat beside Arigoth again Fahd stopping and laid beside her his head up against her side as he flopped to the ground and purred while Elena stroked his head and side. She glanced over to Arigoth hearing small snores and tried not to laugh as she looked up taking in a deep breath.

By now his small wings were gone as he laid there slightly slanted on the the tree. His nose twitched a little as the panther, Fahd came near him. Although he was dead asleep not hearing or seeing Elena cast her magic or even knowing that the panther was there. Ari outstretched himself letting his arms move from behind his head and come to stretch along the tree, across Elena's legs.
One of his legs slowly began to fall off the tree and hung a little from it as he lied there dreaming about endless nothings. His small ears could only move a little, being pushed slightly as they were against the tree. The sounds of the deep purring coming from Fadh seemed to tickle his ears, even if Fahd was not even close to him, the sounds would eventually make it to his ears and vibrate through them.
Moving a little in his sleep he managed to roll over on his side, how it was possible for him to stay on the tree was by all means a mystery for it seemed like he was awake to know how far to turn before he would fall off the tree. Although one arm remained outstretched across Elena's lap, the other hung down towards the ground. Every now and then he would let out what seemed to sound like a small laugh as he moved his head like he was nuzzling the tree.
Looking like he was nuzzling he was hardly doing it for a comfort, he was trying to get the tickling to stop in his ears of the sound he could hear in his sleep. Arigoth then yawned and opened his eyes lazily, the sound of purring was quite loud. His blue and red eyes looked around suspiciously for a moment or two to find what this noise was and where it was coming from. Until he focused and it led down towards Elena, but near her feet.
There was a huge black panther just lying there. His eyes didn't take notice that this creature was acting friendly to Elena, he only saw a predator and shot his eyes open as he pushed himself up with his arms. Moving rather quickly he ruined his balance and fell backwards from the tree. Landing on the ground. Yelling "Holy Heeeeeel-" He was cut off as course as he fell back. Lying there in a slight daze.

Elena looked down not paying much attention to anything catching Arigoth nuzzling the tree and then looked to Fahd. She looked back up and dead ahead seeing just how far her eyes would let her see from where she was. Though it was hard trees kept getting in her way of vision and then small insects would catch her eye.
As Arigoth moved and then yelled Elena looked over to see him fall and Fahd open his eyes turning his head towards Arigoth and showed his teeth slightly growling ‘what you wake me for you idiot?’ was what the panther had thought until Elena had laughed slightly.
She looked down over to Arigoth “You ok?” she asked while rubbing Fahd ear as the big cat rolled onto his back “Oh you big baby…” she said and gave it a belly rub before looking to Arigoth again and smiled “This is Fahd.”

Slowly sitting himself up he drew in a breath and bit his bottom lip. Ari's eyes then drifted to the panther again. "Fahd?" He questioned, he knew Elena owned a panther, from the last time they met, but he couldn't really remember the creature itself. Not to mention he was never this close to Fahd before. At first he looked a little frightened at the growl but soon gave a quick glare before standing to his feet and dusting himself off. "I'm fine... perfectly fine..."
Saying this without even realizing his wings were back, his nails seemed to be longer, and his short pointed ears were longer and covered in a short fur resembling bat ears. Even his clothes had become a little baggier as he was shorter in height. The scare of waking up to see such a huge cat had almost made him change into a bat completely. His heart still racing fromt he startle. "So was he the one following us?"
He questioned while arching a brow, acting as if he wasn't scared. Arigoth even put off the events of what just happened, his wings flapping once as he crossed his arms and let out a huff as he looked down at Fahd.

Elena couldn’t help but start laughing at him, she folded her arms across her trying to control her breathing and slowly took in some deep breaths as her laughter came to a stop.
She looked to him and then shook her head “No… well yes and no.” Fahd sat up and watched Arigoth trying to figure out what he was as he watched the wings and did the little cat wiggle like he was about to pounce on him and then laid down on his stomach his paws under him.
Elena watched the panther then stood up “He was off some what… but he wasn’t the one I noticed before… don’t worry I set up like an alarm so if it does get close I or Fahd will know… if you have good hearing so will you.” She said pointing her finger at him and then brushed her hair back… her stomach was grumbling so she sat back down and crossed her arms across her stomach telling herself she could eat soon enough.
“Sleep well?” she said

Sighing he nodded his head. He could hear well... when he payed any attention, but he seemed to like to think about one thing after the other to truly focus, most likely this contributed to his loss of abilities. Arigoth then reached a hand up as his sleeve on his shirt dropped down his arm so his flesh was visible. His hand caressed the bat like ear before letting out a agitated groan. He was never proud of the fact he could change into such a small animal, and be looked at like some sort of a little toy when he was in that form, so showing off his attributes to his other form only embarrassed him.
Across and all up and down his arm was multiple cuts, one after the other. Crossing over fresh skin and at times crossing over one another. Scars. His attention was then caught by Fahd as he noticed the stares and then quickly moved his hand from his ear and point at him. "What?!" he hissed as his wings seemed to spread open as far as they could and the sleeve to his shirt dropped suddenly and covered his pointing hand.
Arigoth only blinked and then brought his hand back towards him staring at the sleeve that hung over where his hand should be coming out. Quickly turning his head and nodding to Elena his ears seemed to bounce a bit. "Yes I did, thank you for watching over me." He smiled gratefully.

Elena looked to him “I didn’t” she said honestly “Fahd did most of the time while I went off to do something…” She let her head rest on the tree again and looked to Arigoth smiling weakly “I knew he wouldn’t hurt you… sorry.”
Fahd sat up and watched Arigoth also though his eyes changed direction and he growled hissing also. Elena looked over not seeing anything yet, but if Fahd was like this it was not good. She looked to Arigoth “We am should go… do you think you can lead us out of the forest?” she asked standing up not bothered by his appearance and looked ahead as her stomach groaned again “Oh shut up.” She said to herself looking at her stomach and sighed rubbing her head as Fahd hissed again and walked forward.

**He watched me...?** His eyes seemed to shoot over and gaze at Fahd suddenly when he heard this and thought about it over in his head. "Well I guess... I give him my thanks.." He muttered. Ari's eye twitched as he heard Fahd growl. Thinking Fahd was growling at him about to say something until he realized Fahd wasn't even looking at him.
He then looked to Elena and nodded. "Sure no problem." he then turned towards the direction they had came in before walking over to the fallen tree. Squatting down to the ground he leaned in so his face was close to the earth and took a quick sniff of the scent. Making sure what direction they had walked from he stood himself up, but not to his full height, or well, even the shorter height he was now.
Slouching so he could still stop every now and then to double check the trail of the scents. Of his own and of the roses and wild berries that he had met the scent earlier when he smelled Elena. Thinking about that again he wanted to hit himself, but didn't as it was probably better to get them out of the forest.

Elena smiled at him and tilted her head watching him as he went about what he did and how he did it. Fahd looked to her with the look of what would have been ‘What is he doing?’, Elena smirked and quickly followed him as Fahd walked right next to her glancing around every once in awhile hissing at random moments. Elena said nothing for she didn’t want to distract Arigoth instead she just looked around keeping her senses sharp, her nails grew slightly for if they did get attacked she would be ready… though she was hoping they wouldn’t get attacked. She noticed him stopping at moments like he seemed to get confused and then go on again. She had no idea what it meant but she still followed staying quiet while Fahd did the cats hiss in his throat and then seemed to relax form time to time. Elena just shook her head at Fahd.

Arigoth had led them through the path of were they had walked, following it still by the scent and soon reaching the spot where he had caught the mouse, it just seemed easier from then on. Remembering his way from that he was leading the Panther and his friend Elena out of the dark forest. Coming so close and nearing the exist of the dark tree's as an opening was becoming visible slowly.
Grass was in view and the color of it was more of a blue than a green or even a beige. Exiting the forest he stood in the open area of a odd but calm meadow. The grass was being shifted around by the wind and random lavender flowers poked through some of the tall blades of blue grass. Taking in a breath he just wanted to sit back and relax here, hidden amongst the wild grass and rest under that snowy white sky.
"Made it." He said with a smile as he was no longer slouching and looking back at the two.

First thing Fahd did was go jumping in the grass pouncing from one spot to the next. He looked at some flowers and then jumped on them before laying down on some and rolled around in them quickly getting up again running around skidding to a halt and running the other way jumping around.
Elena smiled at him and nodded to Arigoth “Thanks…” she said feeling safer then before and walked ahead smelling the fresh air of the open and twirled around her head back as she just spun around like a kid several times and laughed smiling then let her head fall down as she spun the other way her arms flying around then she stopped and fell backwards deliberately so the world wasn’t spinning while she was standing.
Her laughter could be heard as Fahd walked over to Arigoth and rubbed his head against the guys leg before running off again chasing a bird while Elena stopped laughing just let a hand fall on her stomach and the other brush the grass next to her while looking at the sky slightly spinning.

He smiled watching Fahd and Elena enjoy themselves in what seemed to be a lighter world than the dark forest. Arigoth couldn't help but let out a laugh as well as he watched Fahd jump around. He'd see the panther one minute and he would be gone the next within the grass. Feeling it was safe he gave a sigh of relief and then noticed a nudge at his leg. Looking down a little nervous he noticed Fahd, who had seemed to have crept out of nowhere, considering he seen the panther vanish else where in the grass. A small smile spread as he then watched the big cat take off after a bird.
Comfortable with this new area, it felt so cool and relaxing, he slowly let himself down so he was kneeling on the ground. Before long he was lying on his back staring up at the sky, one leg was rested on top of the other so a red and white shoe was visible over the tall grass. His smile stayed on his face thinking to himself, he felt good, sharing his life with someone, for some reason it seemed to lift pain away from him to simply talk and look on to new things.

After everything had stopped spinning for her she tilted her head looking at the sky hearing a crunch sound of Fahd landing near her as he looked down on her and then jumped over her “You hyperactive cat…” she said sitting up and looked around not seeing Arigoth and then noticed the shoe.
Fahd started to chase some random grasshoppers after giving up on the bird. His body wiggled and he went down as his tail moved slightly and his shoulders arched back while his back legs moved and then he was off and caught one in his mouth only to spit it out tossing his head, scrapping his tongue against his teeth.
Elena slowly stood up and walked over to where the shoe was and smiled then looked over Arigoth “Having fun?” she asked and laid down beside him though some distance between the two. “When you are in your bat form… how big are you?” she continued to look at the sky.
