We walked down the forest path, the two of us carrying towels and dressed only in swimwear. The birds around us chirped and sang to each other in their normal mating calls for the upcoming summer that loomed over the island. Some say they were a good sign that this summer wouldn't be doused out with rain like last year. We both laughed at a joke shared between us while the bear walking beside me ducked out of the way of a low hanging branch. " I tell you hun, maybe this year we wont get flooded with water again. Look at the birds flittering inside the trees looking for their own mates, eh." The bear pointed out, emphasizing the eh to insinuate an inside joke at their secret relationship. "I can see it hun, the birds are pretty loud, it would be surprising if no one could hear them, but I'm really hoping this year turns out better than the last one.." I responded back to him, barely noticing the grim look that happened on my face. The bear was an attractive teenager bear, and my mate, but recently, I felt a sense that we were drifting apart. His black fur stood out in the lush green of the forest, but his magical skills far surpassed many of the older shamans in the village. With that single advantage, he was put into advanced magic training instead of being made into a hunter. Shaking my head free of those thoughts, I looked at him again. My ears picked up the metallic clink clank of the piercings on his body, both of them glinted in the summer sun while the bounced against his chest. The yellow eyes which occasionally hued up with a shimmering hazy look of red that dominated the amber in his eyes. White covered the tips of his ears while a sense of midnight blue took over the undersides of his paws. The red-orange shorts he wore with nothing underneath was a little too big and hung around his waist, showing a green patch of fur above his crotch. I tried to hide the red that engulfed my face when I noticed the green fur, vivid images flashed in my mind of our past. I looked away quickly to hide my red face, in the hopes he wouldn't notice.

"Hey you OK there?" He spoke mockingly at me when he noticed my red face. Shit, was all I thought in my mind when he noticed my blushing demeanor. I looked at him with my red face before I spoke. " Y-yeah I'm fine Abatu.." Suddenly his arms were against my body and my back was pushed into the rough bark of a nearby tree. My face brightened up more as he pressed into me, his crotch was rubbing against me while his paws ran down my body. He was smirking the whole time. His face was against mine, our muzzles were rubbing together, fur against scales as he moved his paw into my trunks and then to my already hardening member. I moaned gently into the kiss he placed upon my lips, my body shuddered in pleasure. " Mhmm hun." Abatu murred out into my maw as he slowly pulled away from the kiss before he pulled away from me, smirked and brought his trunks up to his waist. "T-that's not fair hun!" I protested in response to his teasing actions. " It's completely fair! I was just joking about it hun, sorry about it. The food in the village has been low since the floods last season." I nodded in response and shifted my semi-hard member in my shorts, remembering the floods last season.

We all had to sit on top of a nearby hill and was forced to watch that seasons food supply washed away in the flash flood that had killed a few of the hunters. After the floods were over the females and the shamans in the village were ordered to look among the wreck to find any traces of food, but they were unable to find much. Afterwards the hunter were pressed harder to make more successful hunts to feed the village long enough for them to find more food and give birth to more hunters. The woman in the village, especially the medicine woman, had to scavenge for herbs, berries, and other edible fauna around the village for food.

My mind was brought back to reality when we arrived at the lake at the outer edges of the forest where we normally swam in the summer. It was a small lake that not many people knew about. The trees at the other end of the lake had a lighter foliage than the ones where we stood allowing light to shine down onto the lake. Shafts of light shined onto the lake which made the water sparkle and small flecks of light shined above the lakes surface like fairies floating above it. Reeds grew on the left side, breaking through the surface and reaching for the sky. Water lilies floated on the right side of the lake and the middle was nothing more than a crystal clear area of water. The bottom was filled with a few inches of sand. I sighed and stared at the water, it rippled as little water bugs landed on the surface. Fish swam around inside the water in schools.

I smiled as the place held so many memories between us. We had our first kiss here, we did it the first time here in the water, and so many other things. My mind flashed a little with each memory and my smile widened. I loved thinking of our memories together and it made my day so much better by just remembering them.

With a smile I threw my towel onto the ground and pushed the bear slowly towards the lake. "Lets go hun! We can't sit here all day, " I laughed at him when he struggled against me, not having put his towel down just yet. "Hey! I need to put my damn towel down.." He yelled out and struggled more but I pushed him just right to the edge of the lake and slipped the towel from his hand before I shoved him with all my strength. Yowling the bear splashed into the lake, making a large wave of water that landed at my feet. "Heads up!" I yelled out before jumping into the lake and making another large splash that knocked against Abatu when he had raised his head above the surface. Grumbling he pouted and grimaced at his wet fur before he chuckled and splashed water at me. I only smiled at the refreshing spray of water that smacked against my scales.

This was my normal home, I belonged in the water but I spent more time on land to help the village in whatever ways I could, but I longed to swim free, to spend everyday in the water where I felt most scared and most at home.I always wondered why even as an animal that spent most of its life in the water I still always had a fear of drowning in it. It was ironic that I feared that, but its been my home for so long. "I don't get myself sometimes.." I muttered to myself before another spray of water hit me in the face drawing me out of my thoughts and back to the present. " Hey, you awake there?" Abatu laughed at me and gave a friendly wink as he dived under the water. His tail stayed above water a few moments before it flashed underneath and he disappeared into the murky water, a few bubbles floated to the surface and popped creating slow moving waves.

Silence echoed through the forest for the whole time. I looked left and right for him but I wasn't able to find any trace of him. A light kicked on in my head, shuddering I realized his trick. He was using his magic to melt and blend into the water to surprise me, but I wouldn't let him get me this time. Crouching low to the surface, two little bumps that rested on the water marked my nostrils. I glanced left and right, waiting for the smallest sign of Abatu.

There! The water rippled as a shimmering movement passed through it. With my advantage, I jumped and pounced the area, wildly flailing my arms in an attempt to smack into him and knock the magic out of place. With a loud thump, my tail connected with his face and he slumped into the water with a gurgle of irritation. "Haha!" Was all I shouted out, triumphantly standing above him with an arrogant cocky look but after glancing down, regret was the only feeling that swarmed inside my head like bees bustling inside a hive.

The sound hit me before it actually did. The loud roar and crashing sound of water rumbling over itself in a mighty wave coming right at me, from my point of view it looked like a large herd of bulls charging at me, kicking dust and dirt up into the air during a ferocious charge of wild beast driven mad. I clawed at the water in a futile attempt to escape my introduction with the water, my webbed hands not enough to out swim the wave that followed me through the water. The wave surged up and crashed into me, sending me underwater with a large crack to the skull when the water slapped against it. For a mere moments, the whole world was silent as if my sense of sound had been robbed from me in a brutal fight with the powers of nature.

Everything went white, black and rumbling as the wave hit me. The impact had sent me head first into the water, almost rolling in the water from the force. I closed my eyes once the I felt the water against my face, holding my breath in until it felt like my lungs would explode without oxygen.

Bursting out from underneath, I inhaled deeply, filling my lungs to the max before letting it all out in one long breath. Breathed heavily I turned on Abatu and glared at him. I dragged out what little energy I had to left in my body to yell out the only thing on my mind.

"What the fuck was that for?! You could have killed me!" I shouted out at him, disciplining him at his reckless behavior. Abatu only gave me an innocent look and shrugged his shoulders in response.

"Don't give me that bullshit.." I muttered at him, but I sensed him smirking on the inside. I knew it wouldn't have killed me, I've seen Abatu in his magic training and he could have killed me had he really wanted to. With my lack of training I wouldn t stand much of a challenge for him, it would unfair to the highest level in the academy, but luckily he is my friend and has protected me on many occasions from too many things to count. I owed him my life more than once and I planned on one day repaying him for everything he had done for me through out our long friendship. "It's payback mister! For smacking me with that damn tail.." He gave a joking tease as he shook his fist at me. I could only laugh at him at that moment. The action of shaking his fist drove me over the line and a laugh echoed loudly throughout the forest. Once or twice almost fell over from it, but I didn't care a single bit even as he huffed and turned around in a mixture of embarrassment and shame. "I'll remember this you know!" He said but I barely heard him over my inconsistent laughs that echoed through the trees. I couldn't help the laugh but after a few moments it finally died down as I looked at him and almost started laughing again. His face was completely red as his lack of assertive nature.

It was ironic of him. He was one of the most powerful mages that inhabited the island, hell even the whole world, but he lacked force. He had no back bone to stand up or anything. He could wipe a fur off the face of the earth in less time than it took for lightning to strike the ground, but he had more trouble standing up to a bully than anything. He always spoke of never hurting anyone or their feelings, he was always concerned about peoples feelings. I wonder if that is what made him so powerful, it was uncommon for shamans to care about anything but themselves and their spirit allies.

"I'm super sorry hun; I just.. The way you looked was too much for me to hold it inside.. Forgive me?" I half assed the apology but we both knew it wasn't needed. Abatu had a strange way of never being hurt by those things, and most peculiarly, he somehow was never bothered by anyone else no matter how hard they tried to hurt him or make him upset, some boys have even gone far enough to physically hit him, but after the last kid who did that, most people stray as far from him as possible.

It was maybe about no more than a few months ago when some kids had picked on him at school. He was on his way home from school when a group of kids, jealous of his ability, approached him and knew about his un-assertiveness. They all ganged up on him quickly. He was beaten close to death before something snapped inside him. The medicine lady said he had no recollection of what happened, but everyone else knows including me, but no one brings it up around him. We all know he would feel horrible had he known about what he did. After Abatu snapped, he blacked out and his magic gifts were tapped into and discovered, his mind somehow was able to recall old magic, offensive magic that hasn't been used, or even remembered, in many years. The kids have had nightmares for years because of it.

It happened when I was outside the school studying the plants. The whole sky darkened around the island and blacked out the sun. Lightning flashed and thunder boomed, the two combined flashed the sky in vibrant colors of yellow similar to his eyes. I shuddered at the dark sky and thought nothing of it, but later on the news was piled on me in dread as I was informed at what had happened. My first fears were for Abatu but then I feared for the kids after the events were explained to me. Fissures had cracked along the ground, molten lava spewed up from the ground and seeped closer and closer to the kids from all directions around them in a circle. Hell spawns, as they were called began to form from lava, taking shape as birds, wolves, bears, lions and other demonic apparitions. Their bodies were mutated, deformed and disgusting but their power was far greater than anything. Abatu had summoned the long lost guardians of Alagard but the general demon was yet to appear.

A massive wolf climbed out the fissure, his paws were seeped in lava and his fangs dripped crimson liquid at their feet. His eyes were black and when stared into the person saw his own death at the hands of this massive beast. The beast approached them, his growl was fierce and made the ground rumble like an earthquake. His paw flashed like lightning at the kids, slicing their bodies up and sending them flying. Blood poured from their bodies onto the ground making small pools of crimson blood that stood out. Each kid was crying for their life, each one was close to death as the wolf approached on them again. He howled out his death call, a spine shivering howl that paralyzed them all with fear. Jumping at them, bloody fangs were about to clamp down around them and ending their lives brutally but Abatu couldn't hold the spell, his mana was spent and he collapsed on the ground, his body had shut down. He had over exerted himself from the magic, his fragile hold over it had surprised everyone.

The kids had recovered first before Abatu, all but one of them couldn't stay in the village long before their fear and night tremors had caused them to move in the hopes of escaping.
