Several failed attempts later Leo managed to bounded off the edge of the canyon wall, just past the burnt bridge on the other side.

This forest was charming, its twisted trees that grew out of the dead gray crumbling earth, had interesting roots that wrapped around their trunks. Tan dry leafs covered the ground. Almost like of mama's cave. He breathed in deep. The only only place more homey were the human cripts, some were hard to get into though.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVUuQjfyZP
It was quiet here, guess the birds and animals were hiding. A strong perfume of rotten flesh lingered in the air. He smiled.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHX8vwLKed
Wandering around, he went deeper into the forest, at its center it was dryer with dead brown grasses that crackled under paw. A charred earthen spot stuck out amid the grasses.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndH4XAeEqG
A faint human scent puffed up. The char scent helped cover it up some. He breathed through his mouth.
Kicking some of the ashes, they twirled slowly above before getting sucked into the mid air. What the?
He kicked the ashes again, this time the air above the charred spot shimmered.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNMOugoCOg
Poking at it with an outstretched claw the area rippled with waves, he picked up a pebble tossing it at it.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamnUA4q0rB
The pebble vanished and there was a little pop. Well, now. Sticking his paw in did the same, it to vanished.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkQRGZs6qi
Only one thing to do. He stuck his head through the portal. Then pulled all the way through.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOm942uHJ7
A dust devil hit into him spinning into the air and him with it. The impish wind dumped him over a dried up lake bed. The fun ride disappeared as fast as it came, he landed hard on his rump. What joys next?
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL123sH4hq
"Ooof!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuEY3gMdYj
Lighting cracked in the sky and zaped the ground only hundred feet away. Scrambling, he swerved away from another one and took off running. While fun, lighting did hurt.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDklkolueD
It was hard to tell distance in this fascinating land, were lighting lit up the sky and streaked down at whim, the last bolt lit up the silhouette blob ahead showing the lines of a large mansion with a skywalk between.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMqtzcJdbI
He scrached an ear.
It was a strong compulsion to go through that portal and now again with the mansion. Was Rotserc guiding him? Hard to tell as the deity was shy and worked unseen.
Opening the large wooden door inside bustling robed humans buzzed about whispering to themselves and passing into and out of several archways.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdThKrZiJVU
One of them spotted him. Took them long enough.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmiPSxWVQ
"Screeech, monster!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzNnoITrUX
"Where? What monster?"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVROJG7QF2N
He turned around and looked back to find the robed humans all running at him weapons gleaming. Oh.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqT8UFfLdH
Leo grabbed the first one buy its wrist, and tossed him out the door, sending him flying past the horizon, a little too much effort there, hope he's not dead.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1SFNBNvoz
Their little curved daggers poke and sting.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegYZ6KUsqJ
"That is enough!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodMz2GL1Gg
He wrapped his arms around all of them with a crunch, they fell in a heap. What are they made of glass? Perhaps a more gentle touch—
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1kCdTdyf
A brown eyed man that was by the doorway raced back into it.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuTtSDHCcF
"Hey, wait get back here! I didn't mean to!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzTFA7MRyk
The brown eyed human flailed his arms in the air around wildly.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gkgmdl0e6
"Monster! Big ugly monster! Get AWAY!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGmMeNNKiS
"Ugly? I'm not ugly, at least I don't stink and look like rotten fish guts!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGva7Sb3SJs
The insane human ran even faster for some odd reason, leo was unable to stop in time when the door slammed on his nose.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UeRvpjAay
"Yeoouch!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdt0SVafGd
Grumbling he turned the handle and gently tugged and the flimsy thing pulled right out of the wall. He tossed it to the side where it clattered. The human looked at him bug eyed.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfqJIgXKTH
"Sorry."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBuwjXDd2K
He walked over palms up. The humans robe flapped about his feet as he raced down a stairwell into its homey darkness.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot8gnIiiN4
"Master, Master we have a problem, a big problem! Let me in!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnpX7V8isj
There was frantic pounding on a door below, at this rate would anyone just listen?
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv86fbhOFm
At the bottom a large beautifully decorated cellar with cobwebs in every corner, old fashioned candles along the walls gave things a warm glow.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRZzesmuOf
Shiny hatchets, knives and the like scattered on cracked tables. It looked just like mom's, these humans weren't so bad except for being flighty-bigeity.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bNYAf4eCa
The door swung open the blinding light flooded the room.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZMVaxUaW
"What is it? I'm trying to sleep!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkO667sOB6
The hooded human pointed a shaking finger towards him from behind the other man.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjsCoIFI4
The man turned to look at him, his eyebrows raised.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkUHYgCGUU
"And what might you be? humm?"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNadwZX3tf5
"I be .. am a—"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMwfhvyiaP
"No, you are a problem that is what you are. I dislike problems, they tend to be messy."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQYw3UgLX
He begin pacing.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtX7wdaYSN
"And messes need to be cleaned up, yes .."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DR3GulDIf
He spun around both arms straight out in-front of him with fingers spread, bubbles foamed from the tips and a wall of them straight towards him.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJqnlDG08R
"That's the best you can do? Bubbles?"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8wh8fYIrF
He reached out with a claw poking one, it popped coating his fur with a thick goo that encased his body. He glared at the man.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL13SKzGgf
"You would do well not to barge into people's homes, monster. I think I'll sell you as a serf. " He circled him while talking.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Pg2MzufeE
"Yes, you a strong, not too bright the price you'll fetch should pay for the damages."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrPZOfY5nL
He chanted again, Leo flew backwards further into the basement. He stopped moving for a moment, a creek from behind and then shoved into a large cage. Paralyized! The man closed the door, then locked it.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKK9lWhwkI
As his eyes adjusted to the dark, in front about ten feet away a figure lay on a wooden table covered in rough bandages. From the injuries it was impossible to tell if male or female.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4L9OseY6X
Strange flat devices along the wall lit up and pulsed a large energy globe at its center sent out small electric bolts that covered the devices whenever they dimmed.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXoPLmrgcM
The man came over. "I'll deal with you tomorrow. I could kill you now, but I think you understand the stupidity of your actions now, hmm?"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz87Yfnwadk
The man went back to the lit room
and closed the door.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2509S591Vo

937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPTPyzL2ry
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fyIRkhq1
That next morning he woke up to a clanging.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyfKIRgDZF
"Pick that and be more careful, the master will irked if we don't hurry."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFSjJpJemf
The brown eyed man puts the knife onto a small table near by.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35Ou91tM9S
The other with the black curly hair unwrapped the bandages from the figures side.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNAToKguS6
"Get me the salve."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvIYifgrO0
The brown eyed man handed it to him from a small shelf above.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDJhVOZyRa
The black haired man smeared it on the figures side, the other man handed him clean bandages, and helps to wrap them.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfRIzO89XG
Reaching over the body, he twisted, and turned several dials. The lights blinked faster lighting up.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6eI6fVpez
"Health is still low."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4xrgKCJl3
"Will this work will this-"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCdgj1jaAz
He smacked the other man on the shoulder.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB9B1SV0QF
"Quiet, the monster can still hear!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFNukUhgQT
He went over a wall to the left of the devices taking down a pair of shackles, then came over.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXNitMom7
After opening the cage he snapped them on.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXxB5Ergf2
The black haired man pulled on the center of the cuffs leading him back outside where a horse and cart were waiting.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv8TxkntMq
"Wait here or I'll set your fur on fire."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTSP26ksGB
He nodded.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhq1sJw3tf
A cellar door on the side was blown open by the winds, the man went over and closed it. Then he came back and brought him closer to the cart.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAclNss2nh
On it was an even larger cage than the last. Leo collapsed, and landed at the man's putrid feet, oh that smelling should come back now! He gagged and rolled, it was good to move again. He sat up and growled.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6esAYLfyH
The man's expression hadn't changed from the flatness of before, he should be running away by now.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6DILBT75R
"Go on, climb up." He pointed at the cage, and clapped his hands twice in sharp succession.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F38H7HIED
He stood and stared at him, the arrogance of this squishy human!
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPNsG6tRQJ
"How, about no."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYYjesjE82
He ran at him with his cuffed paws clasped together into a fist, not much could stand it once he started beating on it, be it man or stone. As he came right up to him the woman's scent came through the cellar doors.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbG5C64yRJ
She's here! He pounded on the man and bumped him forward, before he could react, he bumped him again right on top of the cellar doors.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq4vaZm13v
Leo jumped up and down on the man, the door started to splinter and crack.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz39gNPf5M
"Crazy creature we will fall, stop this now!" The man's eyes bugged out when he jumped on him again.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdIgBvIt5h
"That's the idea, human!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw9dmHwkUX
The door made a lovely moaning sound, it reminded him of home somehow. One more should do it.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yQeqbRBSe
The brown eyed man cane running out his brown hair wild and eyes red rimmed, he dragged a large sword behind him.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKeTbMPWyf
"You-y-y-you get off of him!" He tried to lift it up, but he could only lift it partway with his arms wobbling.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhajAqdNqpt
"Don't bother Mr. pip-squeak. Shoo."
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5477CkkcY
He ignored him and jumped up high.
The black haired man's eyes bugged out even more. If that was even possible! He started to roll away.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOoKScnxpx
Ha-ha too late, he fell down back into the basement and cracked his head on a wooden support beam, dust rained down.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAlqVGYsDD
"Ha-Choo!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXjst30jTA
The black haired man tumbled in after and landed on his stomach groaning.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xzi9Kl6Rt
This place is huge, where was she, what way to go?
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgl8w16iz
"Monster when I get out from behind here I'm going to turn you into a damn statue, and throw you off a cliff!
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZIBG9hPuS
He punched the rubble, and threw a stone at him.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl8M7cUQab
Remember my name: Maxwell. My voice will be the last one you hear!"
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2OrEzkPbR
Maxwell got up, spreading his hands apart; chanting.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWi3l5AV0q
Whatever it was, it wasn't good. He spun around and ran straight head on into a support beam, it started to crack.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvm9X7PVn7
Maxwell continued chanting unfazed.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOrpqj7tCn
When separating his hands, an arcane shard glistened between them.
937Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91Z5kMfAfJ
He glared at him. "Escape this." Then moved his hands forward flinging the shard.

This took longer then expected as Leo is a tricky character to do. I hope you enjoyed it.
