Panky walked onto the beach and headed for the water. He layed on the edge of the beach letting the water rush against and past him. Panky watched as the sun crept through the sky and created shades of pink and orange that could only be achieved in a sunset. Panky thought of his old life and his naive ways. He closed his eyes and thought of her, his first love. He missed her dearly but could not have gone back to her like this. He would not let her see him like this. A tear slowly crawled its way down the big bear mans face and plopped into the water as it rushed back out to sea. Panky had resented every moment that he was not with her, but only imagine the pain that would be brought if she saw him.

Panky was completely in tears now for the thought of never seeing his love again and the life of prejudice and exclusion that he now had to live. He hated living in fear of unnacceptance and hate, just for his appearance. Panky cried as it grew colder, the night crept closer, and the sun began to descend below the horizon.

As the clear sky grew darker with the sun begining to set, one child walked along the sands of the coast. His cold purple eye paid close attention to all that was before him and his small feet made no sound at all as they passed through the sand. Rith was alone. There was no Terror or torment following him and pestering the wildlife about him. His trip on the coast did not involve them. As was not too unsual Rith was early. Rith was surprised when his eyes caught sight of a bawling creature in the distance. It appeared to be a werebear though the moon had yet to show her full face in the sky and would not be doing so tonight. he could be a natural lycan, but sucha a creature would be in the state of a bear and would not likely be found crying upon the beach as if in attempt to drown the world. Whatever he was did not matter, for all Rith cared the creature was merely one with a profitable emotion. Rith vanished behind the shadow of a palm tree and reappered in Panky's elongated shadow. "The waters can not do anything about your pain, save end your life in the process. If your sorrows are told to be I might be able to helo you," Rith's voice sounded in Panky's mind, over the sound of Panky's crying.

Panky was sobbing as he lay on the beach. Then a voice resounded through his ears as clear as day. Panky sat up abruptly as the voice spoke from within him. Panky scanned the beach, voilently moving his head back and forth. He stared hard into the night as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Panky stood and continued to boar a whole into everywhere he looked. He brushed the water off his sides and spoke loudly into the solemn night. "Who is it....What do you want? LEAVE ME ALONE!" Panky had anger in his voice for being spyed upon. He had built up frustration, regret, and sadness fueling his adrenaline and emotion.

Panky looked everywhere but right behind him. It was not likely that Panky in his frantic teary-eyed state Panky would not have noticed the short shadowy figure of Rith. Panky was well more than twice Rith's size. No words left Rith's mouth, though his reply carried to Panky's mind. "You say you wish to be left alone, but you lie. No one wants to be alone completely. No one wants to face their sorrows alone. Surely my ears shall make for better listening than the water," The soothing voice replied. Rith stood unmoving looking up at the creature. Rith watch closely for any sign that he was in danger. Panky was angry but that was understandable and fixable.

"You know nothing about me. You are not the one to judge if I want to be alone or not." Panky growled as he yelled back to what ever was talking to him. Panky walked heavily out of the water's reach and shook the sand from his back. Panky continued to stare down the dark emptyness of the night covered beach. Panky drew his sword in his blinding anger. He held it at ready with both hands clenching it tight ready to swing at anything that would attack him. Panky roared and then spoke again. "Come out and interfere with my time alone!" Panky yelled.

Rith stood still as he watched the large figure. He was not taking the intrusion of his personal time well, but that was something that Rith would half expect. "Calm thyself, the only harm here is that which you put upon yourself," the soothing voice replied in Panky's mind as Rith silently and motionlessly casted calm emotion. Rith would need for his anger to dissapte before he could get anywhere with the man. "Don't let you anger control you so, especially when near one who hopes to help you," The soothing voice continued. The creature was seemed intelligent enough to have some difficult and painful matters on his hands. It made Rith's job all the better when he got to them.

Panky felt the mood in his heart, soul, and in the air lighten. Although his still had hate and resentment on his mind, it was less intensified. He still clenched to the sword for his protection. He lowered his voice that still had an edge on it an spoke. "What do you want from me? Why have you come here? And why haven't you showed yourself if your only here to help?" Panky questioned the "invisible" person.

(RL?)
Rith was pleased to see his spell take effect. He understood that it would not always solve the problem on the first try, especially on one who seemed so animalistic. "I do not hide sir, but if you need to see me to feel comforted so be it," The soothing voice replied. A soft blue glow now outlined Rith's childlike body. "Turn around." rith wondered if he should have made himself look more angelic but was assured that his child0like body would be good enough for what Rith wanted.

Panky slowly turned around with his entire body shifting in unison. He saw the boy standing where he had come from and although the boy glowed with a blue outline he kept his guard up. He learned early that things that look nice don't always look nice. He kept his hands clenched on the sword and spoke to the child. "Your speach is beyond your years, and why would one as young as you posses the knowledge to feel my pain." Panky was suspicsious of the boy for nobody that young that he knew of was that dedicated or to possess magical powers.
