Azu looked tired so I sent her off early and wondered what had happened to Ger. Was he avoiding me? Oh well, it worked for me if he was.

That night I dreamed strange dreams. I was in a place where my shifting senses didn’t seem to bother me that much and I felt… stronger. I also felt someone up ahead so I kept moving. It was Azu. She was surrounded by other beings (though none as beautiful) that seemed to be making her life uncomfortable. I wondered why.

Azumaru’s point of view.

I knew why they were ‘on my case.’
‘Oh how the mighty have fallen.’
‘A cats paw and servant for mere humans’ and I couldn’t use my power without my ‘Masters’ permission, let alone my full power which only my human tamer could unlock. The only option I had was to ignore them… which wasn’t working very well.

I was exhausted and miserable. How did that scrawny human bare it, this pain and damage? Even for the Destined One this was nothing to laugh about and yet she was worried about me. This was the toughest work out I’d had in quite while .

They’d just started up when she came strolling out of the darkness.

The beings around me paused to glance at her.

From here you could see the crimson pulsing cords of the Bond Link as raw and livid as a fresh scars.

“Yo, Azu, these mooks giving you grief. Yeah, they look like the type.” She was so causal, though she paused outside of strike range.

“Who’s the human?” on of those around me asked.

“Who cares?” said the most obnoxious. “It knows this ‘leashed abomination’. As good a reason as any to get rid of it.”

“THAT is lady Necara. Most recent acquisition on the part of the human who owns my tamer.” I interjected. “I don’t suggest you try it.”

“Ah, it’s just a human. Let’s eat it!”

“Yeah? You want to try it Hair-Ball?! Next time you’re offering up threats, do it in a language I DON’T understand would you.”

Buzzing and murmurs of surprise and shock echoed all around me. She was speaking our language like a native. That wasn’t possible. The guilty party was also shocked.

“You… understand me.”

“Quite clearly, Fluffy and let me just say, none of you pukes hold a candle to Azu. That glowy form of hers is truly beautiful. Fluff balls and lizard skins like yourselves should be ashamed, giving a kick arse lady like that grief… or could it be you got your butts kicked before that mongrel snatched her?
In any case, Azu, this is some seriously strange dream I’m having. Kind of reminds me of the ones where that Pretty Boy Brat Boss told me his plans while he was messing with my head.”
