Cold, gray morning crept by, everything in a eerie haze. Tall, power-bearing mountains jutting from the earth, blocking and daring all, from the adventurous to the foolish to the strong. A lone red hawk glided in the still, quiet air. As he prepared to fly up along the mountains, a sudden sense of foreboding crashed upon him. His sharp eyes searched...and he cried out, flapping his wings to stop his flight, turned frantically, and screeched away in a flurry of frightened movements.
Rema growled, watching the bird flying for its life. A sudden gust of wind tried to loosen her grip on the rocky face but, such an act was like trying to pry the mountain itself from the ground with a shovel. She looked back up the rock face and continued to climb...
The sun was passed its zenith when she reached a large enough shelf that she could lay down upon. She pulled herself up, straining a bit, using her weary muscles. Sitting on the shelf, she pulled her long coat hard around her. She looked out at the view of the endless miles of forest and the neverending horizon, holding up the sun.

A cat walked along the rocky path, its black fur blended in well with the stone. Using his green eyes he searched the cliff that rose above him, a scent wafered about him, it was new, and different, but it was alive.
" why would someone climb such a cliff" he sniffed again " and a woman to"
He stared up the face, nothing was seen, except for the outcrops sticking out of the mountain.
He searched around, he had been sent to retrieve a herb that can heal most any sickness, and it only grew in the mountains.
Glancing up again, he saw a stem of it hanging over the edge.
" What a bother" he said.
A cloud of smoke surrounded him, clearing, a man was standing there.
" now to fetch those bloody things, but how" he said studying it.
Then he reached forward and started to climb, using claws to get a grip.

Tiny, soft steps made her whip around. With unnatural speed, she pulled out her quarterstaff, holding the axe end in front of her, ready to stab. She sniffed the air, a confused look coming to her face. She scented an animal, yet it was human. She looked around, she could heard claws climbing. She sat at the edge of the rock shelf and waited, quarterstaff ready, muscles tense.

Napeir reached the ledge, he was about to grab the plant with a outreached claw when he pulled back, there was a woman, a quaterstaff in her hands. This must have been who he scented at the bottem of the the stone wall.
" You frightened me, wasn't expecting to see someone here" he said laughing.

She slowly pulled up her legs, so she was in a crouch. She put the axe blade close to his throat.
"Climb up," she said coldly. Her eyes stared at him, promising a fight if he didn't do as she said. Still in the crouched position, she backed away from the edge, the blade still at his neck.

Napeir saw the blade pull toward his neck, what was this woman doing he thought.
Napeir hopped up onto the ledge and stared at her with curious eyes.
" not to friendly are you" he laughed, he then sat down and glanced over the edge.
" How did you manage to get up this high on your own" he asked, hiding his claws in his shirt.

She backed the blade but never put it down.
"I have strength and abilities that is unheard of. To tell you the details would sicken your human stomach." Her eyes went from his face to his shirt, only a quick glance. She sniffed.
"Take out your hands." She quirked an eyebrow. "You have nothing to hide."

Napeir pulled out his hands reviling the sharp claws of a cat.
" i favor the cat, so i get abilities in return" Napeir told her " and could you put that thing away, I'm not going to hurt you, these claws are the only weapon on me"
Napeir studied her for a long moment, she was different, but he couldn't pin point what it was.

She sniffed.
"The cat, eh?" She leaned on the staff, staring at the claws.
"House cat, it looks like. Must have been difficult to climb with those tiny nails." She made a little 'huh' of a laugh.
"Why not the wolf, human? Or the panther? Cougar? Hawk? Why not something more powerful?........Much more...........stronger?" She quirked an eyebrow.

Napeir looked at her thoughtfully, still trying to find a difference.
"i like to control my power" napeir replied " its not good to over power yourself, you could lose control"
Napeir went over what she said.
" Why did you call me 'Human'" Napeir asked.

"You reek of human. That is what you are, isn't it? You just know how to do some fancy tricks." She scoffed.
"And don't assume that I am human or just like you. You've never seen the likes of me before. And hopefully never will."
She took a step to look over the edge.
"What brings you here, Cat-Man?" She kicked a stone over the edge, watching it fall, thinking.

Napeir stared at her, what did she mean by that.
Napeir then pointed toward a plant on the edge of the rocky jut out.
" i came for that, its a healing herb" napeir said calmly " but just because i am human, doesent mean you have to call me by it, my name is Napeir"

She quirked an eyebrow.
"Very well, Napeir, the Cat-Man." She made a mock-bow, her voice of false politeness.
"You came all this way for a plant?" She sniffed and whispered,"Obviously human."
"Well, take your greenery and don't break your little paws on the way down," she said harshly, crossing her arms.

Napeir felt the hair on the back of hs neck rise.
" its napeir, just napeir" he yelled " and this plant is used to cure infection in serous wounds"
Napeir felt his hand twitch and his body shake. Dust started swirling around him.
" not again....." Napeir yelled, as his body was engulfed in smoke.
When the smoke cleared, Napeir was not there, what stood there was a regular cat, with the fangs of a tiger for claws, and Blood red eyes. A voice that didn't belong to Napeir spoke out, its tone that of chaos.
" I lose control when my energy reaches a high amount of pressure, and then i take over, napeir will be gone for awhile" He spoke, his claws tapping the ground.

She sniffed and smiled. "Aw, Cat-Man has a bad side." She took off her coat and threw it down. She spun her staff and put the tip of her blade on the ground in front of her.
"I haven't played for quite some time." Her eyes began to slowly tint with red as well. She crouched a bit and, extending a hand, she made kissing noises.
"Come, little one."
