Julia slid down to the ground, her breathing labored. She hadn`t felt this exhausted since the time her brother chased after her with a snake. She held her gut for a moment, then relaxed, calming her cramps. Blood dripped off her in steady splats, but she didnt seem to care. She glanced up form one of her wounds to look out across the land. She had stopped on the edge of a forest,a good half mile from the evil fortress. Julia steadied her breath after a while, then stiffened. "Relax, you`re paranoid." She told herself, but doubted it more and more. And aggravated howl sounded from not far. Julia`s breath caught in her throat,forcing her to swallow to breath. She could also hear distant yelling, a distinct sort of "Yhah!". Julia squinted, trying to determine the creatures. Hellhounds, Matias`s, and Metis`s. Great.
Julia groaned loudly and turned around, taking off. Sadly, running wouldn`t get the boys back. But it sure saved her from alot of pain.For now. getting away from that Hellhound was a miracle enough. She threw her voice into the wind, cussing in Greek. Chris wouldn`t have enjoyed her speaking like this, but it felt like the right time.
Suddenly, the roar behind her quieted, causing her to slow in confusion. Just as quickly, a Matias darted to her,circling her carefully. Jules whirled to face it every time.
A Matias was almost cat-like, but it wasnt even fair to call it that. It`s long legs and large paws were taloned with disgustingly long claws. It`s mouth was always opened, a black pit and to some, death. It`s eyes were large and narrowed,also a black at first,but when carefully looked at,a deep,deep shade of maroon. It`s cheeks were almost chimpmunky-ish,great and bulging. Those were where the reins wrapped around, pulling back into a handle for the rider to hold. The man atop the creature raised and eyebrow almost tauntingly, waiting to see what she would do before the rest came.The Matias dug it`s claws in the dirt eagerly.
Julia stiffened again and listened. The rest weren`t far behind and the two in front were ready to attack. Julia felt an imaginary sting on th very top of her head. Jason always told her that`s when the light bulb pops out. Quick as a flash. Julia surprised the rider by lashing out right in front,spooking the Matias slightly and sending it curving backwards. Julia took this to her advantage and flew forward,trying her best to remember Chris`s words.
'When attempting to knock the rider off,make sure you hook them right where it counts-Just below the back knee.On both.'
Julia thought and nodded,unsheathing a tiny dagger and nipping at not only the rider`s back knee but the Matias`s as well. It cried and reared, as did the rider. With this combination, it was quite easy to take now. She rammed into him heartily, then swung around and jumped on the Matias, slashing it`s reins viciously. Recovering quickly,it took off for the cover of brush, not seeming to care to the outraged words of it`s rider. Julia relaxed finally. Alright. This, she could do.
-------------------------
Jason moaned, fingering his new wound. His bruised eye sealed shut miserably, aching like mad. Chris gave him almost no glance and threw another one of his endless dagger towards the guard. This one nailed him right in the left shoulder, angering him.
"WHY I OUGHTA!" He roared, running forward. Chris pushed Jason infront of him once again, letting him take the blow to the stomach. Chris grimaced, but the tiny tingle of being satisfied bugged in his belly. He settled Jason down. The blow to the head must of shut him up, for he no longer asked silly questions, like 'Why am I doing this?'. Chris smoothed the boys ruffled hair and glanced up. At least Julia was out. He had heard the alarms ringing earlier. And knowing Julia, she`d be back.
--------------------------
The tired Matias settled down onto it`s furry knees, lapping up water into it`s distorted face. Julia patted it`s back, cringing slightly at the feel of the fur. It was sticky, like always caked with blood. But riding was so smooth. It was almost like a car. Julia held onto it`s reins tight, though. Chris had also told her that they weren`t very loyal. That was why it went with her so quickly.
Julia yawned loudly, sliding off the creature onto the soft grass, grunting with pleasure. She then began inspecting herself, tying the Matias tightly to a tree branch. The men had given up their chase long ago, but it would be no surprise if they started again. Julia curled up on the grass, a little worried. 'I wonder how the guys are doing?' She thought absently. Finally her eyes closed, the last thing she seeing is a cold stare of now her Matias.

The snores of the guard echoed in the empty cavern. Chris rolled his eyes and climbed through the neat hole. The guard would`t have waken up if he had of- Well, he wouldn`t of waken up. Jason was sprawled on the clean grass, eyes closed. Chris was tired, too, but he could`t let on to that.
"Come on." He said softly,nudging the boy with his foot. Jason just moaned. Chris sighed and bent down, picking him up with a bit of effort. Slightly irritated, he began to hike down the slope the fortress was built upon.
---------------------------------
Julia was slumped over as the Matias walked slowly. She wished she had of taken some water from that pool, somehow. Her throat burned miserably, and she guessed the beast wans`t much of a camel, either. Finally it came to a stop,collapsing. Julia rolled off it,landing on the rocky terrain. She didn`t know weather could change so quickly! Carrion-eaters swarmed around them,flying high in the air. Julia didn`t care. Dehydration was prodding at her brain,making her vision go fuzzy.Eventually,she let her eyes slip close. Who cared?
--------------------------------
Chris had left Jason against a tree,his soft snores getting more and more on his nerves. He went close to the ground, sniffing."That way." He said,definite. Jason blinked awake,sneezing then looking.
"Wha?Oh, yeah..." He got up and brushed the dirt from his pants. Whatever Chris says. He trailed after him,yawning continuously.
Chris lost the trail repeatedly,for Julia hadn`t traveled in a straight line,winding around trees and strong smelling bushes. Once he had almost lost it completely in a large span of water. He picked it up again, though.
Jason thought absently to himself what a good hound dog Christ would make, when he froze.Jason almost bumped into him,mumbling to him angrily,when he was silenced.
He pointed.
Paw prints.They led out where the grass turned to dust and sand.Off in the distance,birds were visible,flying high above in a circle.
Chris jerked his head forward and moved out.Jason rolled his eyes and followed.
The heat directed to them almost immediately.Chris shielded his eyes and squinted.Everything was so blurred..He shook his head to clear it,his finely tuned ears picking up something.No Julia,as he had hoped,but something else. He changed course right away,Jason hurrying after him.Great.One more thing for him to do.
The creature was strange.Not necessarily ugly,but strange.It`s golden fur was almost red with dust,large,talon-like claws digging helplessly into the dirt.Spikes ran along his back,with a complete set of three horns on his face.Blue stripes almost went up and down.His face was round with a short snout,eyes squeezed shut in an attempt not to look down.
It had fallen into a large and deep pit,scrabbling for ground,it`s paws it`s only help.Chris and Jason bent down,deciding whether or not to help it.
It had it`s mouth open,revealing sharp white teeth with a purple tongue.It`s screech was a high-pitched wail.
"Wailers,as you can see.Not many of `em left.This one `ere`s a baby."Chris observed quietly.
Jason had covered his ears."I can see why."He grumbled,narrowing his eyes.
"We`d better `elp `em."Chris said,grasping one of it`s large,heavy paws.
Jason obliged and grabbed the other one,then with they`reb strength combined they pulled the beast out of the pit.
It`s wailing stopped almost immediately,and instead began covering Chris and Jason with purple saliva. Both boys cringed at this,pushing it away.
"Go on now,find year mum!"Chris said gruffly.The Wailer stopped and looked down,digging it`s claws into the ground,looking forlorn.Jason felt his heart go out.
"I don't think he`s got one."He said gently,stroking it`s fur. It was very soft.Suddenly he jumped back in surprise.
"No.Hunters.She`s gone...."The beast said quietly,looking down.
"Really?That`s too bad.Ay,you got a name?"He asked,peering at the creature.
"Yes,sir,my name is Zzinhjjr."He said,jerking his head up,eyes huge and staring.
Chris and Jason looked at each other. Jason shrugged and Chris sighed,getting up.
"Well,come on then,Wailer.You`re comin` with us."
The Wailer jumped in the air with excitement,stub of a tail wagging with such speed it might of just fallen off.Chris felt his lips twitch slightly and they started off again for their destination,Zzinhffr bouncing at their heels.
