       The shadow got closer and closer, Grace and Cesar weren't sure if it was that same creature shrunken down, something far more powerful, or quite possibly a friend. They didn't take their chances and attacked it. The got the shadow pinned on the ground in the light. They both gasped. It was Fireclaw in her true demonic form. She looked at them rather agitated.
-"I would be happy IF YOU TWO GOT OFF OF ME!" Fireclaw yelled at them.
        The both moved off of her and looked rather happy to see her. They hugged her and both smiled. Fireclaw smiled too hugging them back.
-"So Fireclaw," Cesar started, "What are you doing in the Dark Lands?"
-"I could ask the same of you two!"
-"Exploring!" Grace exclaimed.
-"..Yeeeeaaaaahhhh...." Cesar said rather slowly.
-"Why did you two tackle me" Fireclaw asked inquisitively.
-"We didn't know if you were that same creature from before." Said Grace.
-"...What creature from before?" Fireclaw asked rather concerned.
-"It was huge! It looked like some kind of zombie thing!" Said Cesar.
-"A...Zombie thing? Big?" Asked Fireclaw.
-"Yep." Grace replied.
-"Somewhat fuzzy?" Asked Fireclaw.
"Yep." Grace replied.
-"Hmm...Black, white, blue and neon green?"  Fireclaw asked.
"Yes." Cesar replied.
"Oh, yeah I saw that thing wandering around." Fireclaw replied.
-"Really??" They both asked.
-"Yeah. It didn't seem to notice me though. I think it was looking for something else..."
-"Probably us..." Grace said looking at Cesar.
-"Why you two...?" She asked inquisitively.
-"It attacked us and we tried to kill it but that thing's too dang strong!" Grace replied.
-".....I see...." Said Fireclaw, "And I can plainly tell you two got no success in defeating it at all..."
         They both looked down sad and disappointed. Fireclaw suggested going together, all three of them, and killing the creature. Cesar and Grace agreed and off they went. They searched for hours and never found it. Soon it was nightfall and all way quiet. Fireclaw transformed into a very large soft wolf and curled around them smiling. Grace and Cesar relaxed and soon dozed off. Fireclaw on the other hand stayed away keeping guard over them and their surroundings. She said up all night while Grace and Cesar slept, it didn't do her much good because she needed the rest as well. The next morning when they had woken up they stretched and looked at Fireclaw.
-"Fiery, maybe you should get some rest...." Grace said concerned about her.
-"Yeah, I agree with Grace." Cesar said.
-"N-no..I'm...f-...." Fireclaw fell asleep in mid sentence.
            Now they have a giant wolf fast asleep, their best bet on defeating that creature. They tried to find ways to pass time but only grew more bored and tired as the hours of Fireclaw resting passed. Finally she woke up and returned to normal. She looked at them then said for all three of them to continue on their exploration to find that beast again and kill it. They all agreed to and as it was set off to find it. More long hours passed and none of them found anything at all. No clues or signs of anything. 
-"I'm ready to give up..." Grace complained.
-"We can't give up what if that thing attacks us while our guard is down?" Cesar said.
-"He has a point." Commented Fireclaw.
 -"..Fine..." Grace said grumbling and sighing.
            They continued to search unsure of where the beast may be hiding. They rounded the corner of a crumbled building and to their surprise....There was the creature.....
The beast is back. But are they ready to fight?
