Finduilas rested upon the grassy banks of the Richimon Lake her eyes tightly shut as the sun slowly began to set. The sun set spreading shimmering reflections of every color across the rippling water as a light wind coressed the night's air.

Sighing peacefully in her light slumber, Finduilas dreamed of her new home within the guild Kuya had founded. Continuing to sleep as the night became darker wrapping her within the ebony blanket, she fell into a much deeper slumber.

As she slept throughout the beautiful night, while the lullaby of the rippling water, russling of the fall colored leaves and whistling winded rushed past her face calmed her spirit, Finduilas did not hear the sound of apporching foot steps.

Bahamut's green scales did not feel the wind brush them playfully. His eyes were green, snake-like, easily seen in the night, his snake fangs were out as well. His clawed feet made some sound as he approached the lake. He didn't see the person laying there, and walks past her, almost stepping on her. He opens his mouth, and begins to sing.

"Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark,
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart.
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain. Melodies of Life-Love's lost refrain.

Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why,
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said good-bye,
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold.

In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me.
Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name.

A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.

So far and away, see the bird as it flies,
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky,
I've laid my memories, do you remember loving me?
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings.

In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind? A voice from the past, joining yours and mine.
Adding the layers of harmony.
And so it goes, on and on.
Melodies of life.
To the sky beyond the flying birds-forever and beyond.

If should I leave this lonely world behind.
Your voice will still remember our melody.
Now I know we'll carry on.
Melodies of Life.
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, as long as we
remember."

Finduilas beagn to stir in her sleep as the beautiful song of love reached her ears. Sitting up she slowly opened her bright emerald green eyes to the night's sights and took in the views only to see the singer before her.

Slowly standing the werewolf looked at him cocking her head slowly as she made her way towards the water's edge. Once to the water's edge she knelt down and gently cupped the water in her hans. Bringing it to her lips she drank it allowing to to refreash her.

Standing once again she looked at Bahamut, she listened to him singing smiling gently at him. Unlike most she thought who would be afraid of such a monteres looking man she just thought him to be another night creature like herself.

When he is done, he turns his eyes to her."Greetings. I see you heard my song......So, what do you think of it? I heard it a long time ago, or so i seems......"He turns to the water. He liked the night, prefered it.

Finduilas did not reply at first but looked up to the night's sky and at the moon. Letting out a small sigh of relife she turned back to the man and nodded. "Yes I did hear you singing sir... your song is very pretty." She told him in her gently voice.

Looking around she sat down upon a stone and looked up at the star filled night. As she sat there she saw a shooting star and closing her eyes Finduilas made a silent wish that she would take to her grave.

Bahamut sits down on a stone across from her."Thank you. I like it as well....."He looks up as well, then makes his own wish, which he never would tell. He looks back to her. "So, my name is Bahamut, who might you be?"He smiles slightly, fangs making it more sinister looking.

"I am known at Finduilas." She said in her gently whisper of a voice. "Its nice to meet you Bahamut... but do you mind if I ask you.... why did you choose to come to the Richimon Lake when it is a wonderful night be with the one you love?" She asks him a slight blush touching her cheeks.

Turning away from him she looked out to the rippling water of the lake a small smile playing across her crisom colored lips. She was one who loved the night and the water. Without even thinking or allowing Bahamut to reply to her question she walked to the edge of the water and dove into the silver colored water.

Resurfacing to the outter world once again she looked at Bahamut again and blushed even more. Slowly she swam back to the bank and climbed out. "Sorry about that she said in even a quiter voice then her normal one.

He shakes his head."It is okay. And I don't love anyone, at the moment. Life is to cruel to me for that....." Or so I thought, until now....he thinks to himself. "Anyways, what about you? Don't you have anyone you love?"

She couldnt help herself but to break into a wave of laughter at his question. "Me?... Me love?.... Please who could love a were wolf?" She asks him then gasps. She had allowed her seceret out. Looking at Bahamut with fear in her bright green eyes Finduilas stood and ran into the forest.

She couldn't belive it she had just allowed her secert to be found out by a man she did not even know by mistake. "How could I be so stupid?" she asks heself as tears of fear spilled down her pallid colored face. "Oh my gosh... What I am I going to do? Soon I am going to be on the run again.... especially if Bahamut tells anyone what I am. People will be after me the moment they find out what I am."

He runs after her, quickly catching her, then grabs her."Look, Finduilas. Do you think I care if your a werewolf? I mean, just look at me, for crying out loud. I'm infused with a demon, and have some snake features, though not always.....And what I used to be.......That was worse."

Finduilas began to beat her fists against his chest as she let out a growl like voice, "Let go of me!" Eyes flashing brighter shade of green she growled again and snapped at Bahamut her werewolf instinks kicking in.

She snarled and snapped continuing to beat upon his chest as if she was a mad dog. "Let go of me!", she snarled again baring her teeth at him. "Let go or I'll bite you!" She said and snapped at his face this time only a mear inch away from his nose.

He lets go of her. "Jeez, your a strange woman, you know that?"He shakes his head. She was the strangest. Well, almost. "I only said I don't care that you're a werewolf, and you respond by trying to bite me."

"What do you think a werewolf does when they are courned or trapped?" She asks him snappishly as she dusted herself off. "Thank you for letting go of me Bahamut." Finduilas said and moved a little further away from him.

"I am sorry I snapped at you but you grabbed me.... my wolf ways took over so I fought." She told Bahamut blushing softly as she looked away from him. Sitting down on a rotten log she messed with the torn edge of her dress as if it was interesting.

He sits down as well, across from her, on a stone. "Sorry, I've just never met a werewolf, lately. I guess they're different. Anyways, why did you run when you told me you were a werewolf? I don't care if you are."

Findulas looked at him like he had four heads or something. "Why did I run?" She asked him in surprise. "Because I don't want people to know and find out what I am. The last area I lived in found out... and... and.. well... You know what people think of werewolves. They think we are horrible creatures. Some of us are.. in truth most of us are... but I am not... I sware I.... I only kill to feed." She whispered looking away from him tears building up in her bright green eyes.

"I just don't want to have to leave Imythess... I felt safe here... but now I think I might just have to leave because... because now a totle of four people have found out about me... Most of them are in my guild but still." She whispered really close to tears.

He looks at her sadly."Hey, now don't cry. People shouldn't care if your a werewolf, I mean, just look at me."He sighs."I promise I won't tell anyone about you, though. I wouldn't want anyone I know to be harmed. Especially not you."He smiles slightly.

Finduilas looked up at him and said, "How can you care about someone you only know the name of and that she is a werewolf... I am not worth your worry. But thank you just the same for being kind enough not to tell anyone what I am."

Standing up she walked over to him and gently kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you once agian" She whispered and made to leave.

He smiles, nodding."Anytime...You leaving?"He sighs."Well, I guess if you want to, you can, but life is so lonely. Why don't we travel together? It would be fun, wouldn't it?"He thinks to himself for a little while."But then again, we don't have to, if you don't really want to....."He rubs his cheek where she had kissed him."Life is strange at times....One thing happens, then another to block or assist first.....it's pointless to fight the flow, at times."

She turned to looked at him and thought about what he had said, "I guess in this case if I did not let you join me I would be blocking the flow of life. But I am not going far.. I am just heading back to my guild's building... I would invite you join me for dinner at the guild as a thank you... but sadly only members my enter." She said this with a sad sigh and stayed where she stood.

"So are you going to join me still or just wait until fate brings us together once again?" She asked him with a gently smile. "You know Bahamut you are very kind." She whispered with a huge blush over taking her face.

He stands up."I will join you, I suppose. And thank you, I have never been called kind before. Hey, why not join me at my guild hall for dinner, since I cannot enter yours. I would be more than happy to have you."He smiles. He had been surprised to be called kind."It is entirely up to you."

She thought about his offer and looked at her feet for a moment before looking up at him slowly. "Would you really want me to join you for dinner Bahamut?" Finduilas asks him in looking to his dark orbs. "I mean wouldn't it make your guild uneasy to have a werewolf in their domain and of another guild.... You never know I could be a spy." She said with a small giggle.

Smiling softly at him she continued to look at him wondering what he was thinking. "Tell me Bahamut... if you had known I was a werewolf right away would you have still wanted to get to know me?" She asks him with a deep sigh.

He looks at her."Of course. I'm not one to judge others, usually. Anyways, you can be my own personal guest."He smiles slightly."So, do you want to come to my guild hall or not? I'll let you in, this once."He frowns slightly.
