I kept my head to the ground, letting only the scent make my movements, and my heart, would lead me.

I wasn't aware, mainly because my head stayed to the ground, but I was taking a route that was very edgy.

This route was very sensitive to trespassers, you could say... The path was very narrow, and had sharp turns, which, could lead to your final paw-step.

I heard only the claws of my paws sink after me, and I only felt Athena beside me, too. I couldn't stop my movements, because the scent was leading me, and I couldn't stop period.

My paws finally stopped moving, and I closed my eyes and tried to stay as still as I possibly could, even though I was shaking from being nervous.

I reopened my eyes, and I sighed and stood strong. I seen land in front of me, which I had passed the worst part- Maybe.

"Shadow!!" I heard screeches of both Echo and Lucy, and I decided to finally turn around swiftly to see what they were screeching about. It seemed like they were in trouble.

I turned around, and I seen the narrow path that led me to where I was now, but that wasn't what I was worried about. I looked straight ahead, my eyesight strong, and my eyes quickened.

In an instead everything can change, in a action, your impact something forever.

What I seen was absolutely terrifying. Both of my best friends, were held captive by swords at their necks. Athena somehow wasn't spotted, and I had no idea where she was...

Adrenaline filled my body, and a statement filled my mind: 'Protect your friends.' And that was exactly what I was going to do.

I pushed all of my fear aside, and I was in sync with my mind, spirit, and body.

Protecting my friends, was indeed going to happen.
