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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ODTZwipMl
It was quiet here, guess the birds and animals were hiding. A strong perfume of rotten flesh lingered in the air. He smiled.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJPsJgOoz5
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4HNS43TO1
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa0IxFfk46
Poking at it with an outstretched claw the area rippled with waves, he picked up a pebble tossing it at it.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHEoBobdb4
The pebble vanished and there was a little pop. Well, now. Sticking his paw in did the same, it to vanished.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFRoBarkMK
Only one thing to do. He stuck his head through the portal. Then pulled all the way through.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZeGktXrqF
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?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi1eVHwtt8
"Ooof!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsNhO5O4Db
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4LhuRbMLa
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRXnL0QOeO
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsfHi2NmaD
One of them spotted him. Took them long enough.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lDG4h3Nx3
"Screeech, monster!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ496zLkrYPZ
"Where? What monster?"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9gDzJacl2
He turned around and looked back to find the robed humans all running at him weapons gleaming. Oh.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvfFiKfh72
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mHV805LbO
Their little curved daggers poke and sting.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGjnt063N
"That is enough!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30rbeLtXcr
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—
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxSsTfO9jj
A brown eyed man that was by the doorway raced back into it.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpK72BiIlTZ
"Hey, wait get back here! I didn't mean to!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqRdr1k477
The brown eyed human flailed his arms in the air around wildly.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34kELU8G7o
"Monster! Big ugly monster! Get AWAY!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSh4vNN9Gm
"Ugly? I'm not ugly, at least I don't stink and look like rotten fish guts!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ihqOsEe2G
The insane human ran even faster for some odd reason, leo was unable to stop in time when the door slammed on his nose.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZp4StuEqh
"Yeoouch!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKWEYxQVoD
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYAWy2uSlm
"Sorry."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaP9Mlgyz1
He walked over palms up. The humans robe flapped about his feet as he raced down a stairwell into its homey darkness.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EnRcaInee
"Master, Master we have a problem, a big problem! Let me in!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq1Fs1LWA0
There was frantic pounding on a door below, at this rate would anyone just listen?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDuSjr5uYh
At the bottom a large beautifully decorated cellar with cobwebs in every corner, old fashioned candles along the walls gave things a warm glow.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzv5f8ovzB
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRI1scIX2G
The door swung open the blinding light flooded the room.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLK0E70dOz
"What is it? I'm trying to sleep!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMp6g6tbvW
The hooded human pointed a shaking finger towards him from behind the other man.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCnAuhM2xw
The man turned to look at him, his eyebrows raised.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3zCJ2Es4g
"And what might you be? humm?"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYpp56UVDQ
"I be .. am a—"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3uNWeH6Mi
"No, you are a problem that is what you are. I dislike problems, they tend to be messy."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVgPvTH1Qb
He begin pacing.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m47hK4G1F
"And messes need to be cleaned up, yes .."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguS5n6PUTH
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYMIPMXSHw
"That's the best you can do? Bubbles?"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6R9ItOsCV
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBuAuh8YBz
"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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4mMce79fw
"Yes, you a strong, not too bright the price you'll fetch should pay for the damages."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNfZWUoA0p
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvKzKcXUwF
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNokERNc54
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvcSUV2gm7
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?"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjSAK7Qoq
The man went back to the lit room
and closed the door.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsqZe8agwM

958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwmNGvzvc2
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY7RT2Y6nx
That next morning he woke up to a clanging.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7wcaRdqCT
"Pick that and be more careful, the master will irked if we don't hurry."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyA0p5c93k
The brown eyed man puts the knife onto a small table near by.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrecfhivzZB
The other with the black curly hair unwrapped the bandages from the figures side.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYYSeYhYgG
"Get me the salve."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh35jzYF1W3
The brown eyed man handed it to him from a small shelf above.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptA5TXxzQ0
The black haired man smeared it on the figures side, the other man handed him clean bandages, and helps to wrap them.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIBTVRjwAZ
Reaching over the body, he twisted, and turned several dials. The lights blinked faster lighting up.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF5hFznymC
"Health is still low."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hT3tvrpds
"Will this work will this-"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFr9XQZ6Wj
He smacked the other man on the shoulder.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtBbSwFu6N
"Quiet, the monster can still hear!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSC6D80ZDa
He went over a wall to the left of the devices taking down a pair of shackles, then came over.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmHUnvRIvQ
After opening the cage he snapped them on.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wau71VpUz
The black haired man pulled on the center of the cuffs leading him back outside where a horse and cart were waiting.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kpcylZchD
"Wait here or I'll set your fur on fire."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mWFIVzIuf
He nodded.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O4nLFLqoM
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSmqpYN8su
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mRY5po6pK
The man's expression hadn't changed from the flatness of before, he should be running away by now.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1zx5C4pRq
"Go on, climb up." He pointed at the cage, and clapped his hands twice in sharp succession.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFPvvdz1Zh
He stood and stared at him, the arrogance of this squishy human!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyircSCOXb
"How, about no."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuXmeDwrPv
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeTlGoi25x
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWPUN20fWD
Leo jumped up and down on the man, the door started to splinter and crack.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw73Xjn6JOw
"Crazy creature we will fall, stop this now!" The man's eyes bugged out when he jumped on him again.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSXbjbC0QW
"That's the idea, human!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAxIJ1cwIU
The door made a lovely moaning sound, it reminded him of home somehow. One more should do it.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn8WHI9akT
The brown eyed man cane running out his brown hair wild and eyes red rimmed, he dragged a large sword behind him.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Heoinsix5
"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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnmJPzTCoG
"Don't bother Mr. pip-squeak. Shoo."
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4npc9IZbe
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.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtse3JrmWSI
Ha-ha too late, he fell down back into the basement and cracked his head on a wooden support beam, dust rained down.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3qNnGJJad
"Ha-Choo!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KkY9UUmB2
The black haired man tumbled in after and landed on his stomach groaning.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6xSBA4M3Z
This place is huge, where was she, what way to go?
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvkULbdTtF
"Monster when I get out from behind here I'm going to turn you into a damn statue, and throw you off a cliff!
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqo80WDv5X
He punched the rubble, and threw a stone at him.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnhhZ2IPbo
Remember my name: Maxwell. My voice will be the last one you hear!"
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSbtoAXn94
Maxwell got up, spreading his hands apart; chanting.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuP1Wv3XAO
Whatever it was, it wasn't good. He spun around and ran straight head on into a support beam, it started to crack.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFkPMwVrF9
Maxwell continued chanting unfazed.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEKwGczZa8
When separating his hands, an arcane shard glistened between them.
958Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHSdF2AcyM
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.
