Smoke rose in a thin grey cloud above the forest. A burning, searing heat pressed against her smooth, pale skin. Her breath came laboured, her lungs filled with the swirling, choming smoke. A grey dog dashed at her heels, barkind urgently.
Luca suddenly felt her foot catch on a branch. She fell with a gasp. Flames engulfed her and she screamed. She could hear Terra's frantic barking. No. No. She was seperated from her. "Go... Go... Home." Luca moaned. She coughed harshly, tears trickling down her cheeks. The heat was nbearable. She had to go... Had to get out... Had to... Had to...
Escape the heat. |

A shadow flitted across the ground and wings fluttered. A man with bat wings flew towards Luca, picking her up. He flapped slowly away from the flames, weighed down by the girl hat he could have carried easily if his wings weren't torn. He decided they were safe for a while and landed rather heavily. He placed Luca on the ground.

Luca felt strong hnds pick her up. She had a feeling she was flying... Though it was impossible - wasn't it? She was just an ordinary girl. Unless she was ded. That was it. She must be dead. She felt the ground beneath her again. The impact knocked her back, making her cough and splutter explosively. For a few moments she struggled convulsively for breath, until she fell gasping to the floor again. She heard terrified barking and four paws landed heavily on her chest. Winded, she pushed the grey dog off of her. "Terra..." She murmured. She felt warm tongue on her cheek, and lifted a shaking hand to pat her dog's head. She heard a whine, and opened her bleary, ash filled eyes. She screamed and scrabbled away from the man, grabbing a stout stick. "I'm armed!" she croaked, scrared the man would hurt her. |

The man laughed then said, "Me too." He pointed to a sword hanging from his belt. "But I'm not going to hurt you." He raised an eyebrow, then added, "Unless you try to beat me to death with that stick." He yawned and stretched his torn wings. "You know your lucky I actauly could be bothered to save you, I'm worn out already!" The man laughed again, his light green eyes sparkling.

The stick slipped from Luca's hand and she watched the man. One arm was hooked around Terra's soft neck. The dog pressed near to her, a growl rumbling in her throat. At the man's words, Luca gasped. Terra growled louder, but Luca shook her head. The light grey dog fell silent, and Luca struggled to her feet. Her eyes glistened with gratitude. She staggered forwards and flung her arms around the man's neck. "Thankyou," she sobbed into his shoulder. |

The man raised an eyebrow. "Hey, come on, I know I'm gorgeous, but your embarrasing me!" He said cheekily.

Luca lightly shoved the man in the chest. "Come off it!" she laughed. This triggered a fit of violent coughing. She remembered the fire and grabbed Terra's scruff. "We need to get out of here," she croaked, her eyes watering from the acrid stentch of the smoke. She wipedher eyes and coughing again. Terra whined worriedly, nuging and licking at Luca's limp hand. |

"C'mon then, let's go!" Nurako yelled, grabbing Luca's hand and leading her away from the flames.

Luca gasped as she was pulled along. She let go of Terra's collar. The grey dog bounded after them, barking and whining simultaneously. |

Nurako turned his head to look at Terra, then ran back to her and picked her up. He looked back at the flames, then launched himself into the air, his wings laboured slightly as he tryed to gain height, then he flew deeper into the forest.

[ooc;] I'm guessing he picked up Luca too. xD
[bic;] Luca gasped at the height. Terra howled in fright, shutting her eyes. Luca clutched her dog's paw, as scared as she was. |

"Hey c'mon don't be afraid, I won't drop you. I just might crash land." Nurako said, swerving past trees.

Luca's insides swirled unpleasently. "That makes me feel so much better!" she yelled over the rush of wind in her ears. Terra's terror stricken barks and howls could be heard all around, and he light grey dog's legs thrashed wildly in fear. Luca longed to calm her friend but she could not reach her. |

"Ah, I think we're safe now." Nurako said, landed rather heavily on the forest floor. "Hey I didn't crashed land!" He cheered, putting Luca and Terra down before turning and beaming at them.
