She is the sunshine

The young boy would continue to watch the young girl, eyeing her with a strange look. She seemed to be very carefree, and it worried him for she didn't seem to take the situation seriously. She would pass him, seemingly giving him a nickname after he told her what his name was. Her comment brought a small grin to his face. He followed at a slow walk, the girl moving ahead of him by a few paces. His tail wagged slightly behind him, amused by her enthusiasm as he heard the faint taps of her teeth against the strange item she had picked up. His father had taught him a lot about the things that humans made, and how dangerous some of them could be. He learned about the dangerous traps, ones that could kill a creature with a single wound that would burn a hole through a body with a weighted and heated piece of metal...much like the one Myth had in her mouth. Not only that, but there were other more invisible types of traps, like the jagged tooth bear traps that would snap closed on unsuspecting creatures to hold them in place. He'd shudder slightly at the thought of it, hoping that none of those were in these lands. It was then during his thoughts, that a voice would break through.


"Race ya!". Those two single words pulled him from his mind, as he watched her race ahead. For some reason, a sense of dread would fall to the pit of his stomach as she headed towards the thing shining line. At first he had thought it was a spiders web...but on closer observation, it looked strange and the line never waved with the wind like a web did. Alarm spread through him as he realized his suspicions about this place was correct, and instantly he would race forward in an attempt to reach the girl. "No! Wait!" he cried out as she neared it. He feared that he would not be fast enough to catch her. His eyes widened with intense fear as he pushed himself to move faster, and just as her back paw tripped the thin thread, he had sped his body into her to push her as far away from it as he could. And just seconds later a tiny click followed by an immense blast followed suit. The sound was intense, the air around them growing hot as fire seemed to burst from the ground behind them. Both wolves flew forward, Byakuro's body shielding hers from most of the heat as he felt his fur singe and his skin burn on his haunches and tail from the heat. His ears pinned against the blast, and the pair would roll several yards across the ground as they landed behind a jutting rock. He would place a forepaw over her head, keeping her body low as he placed himself over her while rocks and debrus flew all around them. Some small rocks and bits of earth would rain on him, but as long as the girl was safe he didn't care.


Moments later, the explosion would die down into smaller wisps of flame, though smoke would rise into the air as black as black could get. His heart pounded as he lifted his head slightly to ensure that it was safe, and then he would rise into a sitting position and look the girl over before checking himself. "Are you alright?" he asked her, his voice panicked. They had nearly escaped death, thanks to his quick observation and reactions. Though he had suffered minor cuts and bruises along with singed fur and heated flesh, it was nothing that he couldn't survive. He looked at her, sapphire pools showing concern as he waited for her response and reaction.
