Moon Rise

A sound would be heard, amplified by the caves. Shiki immediately began to stir, head rising quickly as he watched the entrance of the cave. A voice carried to him...all around him in fact, as a girl came into his sight. Cocking his head to one side, he wasn't sure what exactly she meant. "Umm...I don't know what a lion is...and I didn't smell anything here when I came in.." However, doubt prickled him as well as a little fear. She appeared to be scared, why though? What was this lion thing? He'd move to stand, then walked out of the little sheltered spot he had found. Standing a few feet from her, he scented the air to catch her scent. And indeed, he found a trace of fear. Who was this girl? And why was she so scared? "Um...I'm Shiki, what's your name?"
