Here's Chapter two...
Chapter Two: Life's Shadow.
My heart suddenly jolted, and I jumped up. My eyes fought hard to adjust to the bright light of an ancient cavern. Staring around, I realized that my forearms were oddly enough below me, supporting my upper body. Looking to the cursed markings and watched them fade into my very spirit. 'On all fours?' Walking out into the sun's gift; my breathing stopped as I looked upon an endless landscape of trees and mountains, what appeared to be a rocky pathway down the mountain appeared to my left, immediately reminding me of a faint memory. I forced my view to my back, my hind legs could only be slightly seen, but I was perfectly fine. 'What happened? Where am I?' These questions pelted the inside of my head, making my curiosity arise, causing me to follow the path down. Reaching the forests ground below, a small stream ran peacefully beside the pathway. Stopping in my tracks, I inspected the water. 'Can I drink it? Is it safe?' A rustle came from beside me, and I jumped into the bushes frantically. Out of the noise, a feral deer came out of the dark forest, and took a drink from the passing water. As it passed, my wide eyes kept their hold on the creature until it finally disappeared from my sight. Moving quietly to the river, I drank greedily, and walked down the same pathway. Trees reached for the skies, and filled me with wonder. Looking around, a clearing came to my view. Bright lights flown into the darker trail, walking into the blaze of open sunlight, my eyes scanned the flowers all around me. Shades of blue, red, white, and yellow surrounded me. Realizing that I was on a tall hill, I looked down, and saw a large wooden town at the bottom of it. Having no knowledge as to what it was, I made my way down a flat, rocky trail to the towns gates. Within the town, groups of creatures walked by creating sounds that came from all sorts of direction within the crowded place. Walking along in excitement, I didn't see the shape that came in front of me, and walked straight into it. The small yelp I made got the animal's attention, and he focused emerald eyes upon me. "Now what ave we ere?" His voice of thunder stopped me into a shaken wake, looking up to the huge dog, he looked down at me in this almost kind smile. "Oi, I got me'selves a little pup." My eyes widened to his sudden movements, and he bent closer towards my shaken body. "You look hungry little fella." His paw reached into a small satchel that hung around his shoulder, and pulled out a small dried piece of meat. The scent of it came to me in a heartbeat, and I took it from him. As I retrieved the small gift, a shadow came from behind the dog. "There you are." A male spoke softly from behind him. The dog smiled to himself, and turned to his companion. After a source of chatter, they both began to leave, and I followed them. "Great." One of the voices spoke, and turned towards me. "Go on, get!" His voice was loud, and I stopped in an ushered fear. He began moving towards me with a wretch, at that moment it was enough to make me bolt off. Crossing through the travelers, I bolted my way out of the town, and back into the forest. 'What just happened? Why did he do that?' As I began to ponder, my body couldn't sense the threat that was coming at me. As I finally heard the sounds of the brush, and turned to a golden body with round ears, a slender tail, and a deafening roar that shook the earth.
