ʬʬʬʬʬSong Times And Identification: You will notice through out the story little double quotes with time numbers in them, ex: ((00:00-1:24 TS)) This means that the part that you are about to read after seeing the time, will begin at around that time into the song, until the noted time. If a new bit is to start, with no time, than the song would to be to continue on from there, same time area. Also, Each song has identification letters, as seen in the example, this means that it'll be within which ever song the short is allocated to.

◊We Begin..◊

ʬʬʬʬʬ It was winter, the vast forest had been snow covered completely. But it wasn't cold, either. Drek was only a young cub. His parents, he did not know their names, but only his sister's: Kono. He was playing around with her, running around the woods and bumping into others. The two were having fun and decided to stop by Flea, whom, at the time, had no name really. The three cubs played around with each other, yet Flea was always able to manage to get into something idiotic. The three had stopped by a stream, and somehow, Flea managed to get stuck at the other side. Drek and Kono wouldn't stop teasing him, they knew he would find a way to get across.

ʬʬʬʬʬ Something wasn't right. A scent, warmth, and a crackling sound. The three cubs looked all over them, none saw a thing.

ʬʬʬʬʬKono HieloRey: "Drek.. Something doesn't seem right. I think we should head back to mom and dad.."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Yeah.. But what about Flea? He's stuck over there.."
ʬʬʬʬʬFlea Hunter: "Just keep going, I'll find my parents, they should be on this side of the river anyways. Don't get into anything, please.."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey & Kono HieloRey: "We wont."

ʬʬʬʬʬ (( 00:00 - 00:25 LY)) Off they were. Split up. The sound was getting louder, more violent. So was the warmth and scent of.. Burning wood..? The two ran, tried to keep close to each other as they tried to head back to their parents. But it was too late now, fire had widespread, they couldn't see anything, or anybody. The fire was close now, and suddenly a large, tall tree had burnt near the roots, causing it to fall down. Drek and Kono both jumped back to both sides to avoid it. As it collapsed a loud thump came along. Was it a wildfire, or was it caused by something else?

ʬʬʬʬʬKono HieloRey: "No! Drek..! No... I can't get to you! This tree's to big!"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Run the other way sis! I'll find a way out, we can't stay here!"
ʬʬʬʬʬKono HieloRey: "But...."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Save yourself Kono!"

ʬʬʬʬʬ ((00:28 - 01:00 E)) They were left choice-less but to split up now. Nobody was in sight, nobody made a sound. He tried calling out a few times, but never had he gotten a single response. All was lost.. He dashed through the woods as they burnt down to the rage of the flames. After a few minutes of running through the vast forest he'd hit a dead end, fire was merely all around him. He looked around nervously, he wanted out. A dark figure was in the scene. It was a dark brown, seemed to have a red mane, and... Odd markings, red. He hadn't had time to check, he shook his head to regain focus and tried to dash through the flames before they could catch him on. Finally, he'd hit the end, out of it. He ran for a while to be far from the forest: He wanted to be far from danger. The cub was full with nothing but fear, pain, and sadness. He wished and hoped that everybody was alright, he was telling himself that they were all gone somewhere else, that they'd be back for him. Drek found a small cave, it seemed uninhabited, so he went in, and hid.

ʬʬʬʬʬ Drek woke up and jumped back in shock. He looked around nervously, seeing open plains. He was in his Den in these.. Icy territories. His mind wondered, he needed to find out where he was. Kati opened her eyes and lifted her head up, looking up to Drek. The two were sleeping close together tonight, it was a little breezy.

ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Drek? Are you alright hun?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Yeah.. Just.. Unpleasant dream, that's all.."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey:"What was it?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "The... Wildfire.."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Come on, let's get back to sleep, maybe you just need a bit more rest."

ʬʬʬʬʬ Kati spoke the last words in a comforting manner, she settled her head back down onto his paw, eyes closed, tail between them. Drek scanned around a little before deciding to head back to sleep. First thing he'd think of was the image of that being, standing there.. He thought to himself, "Kensel.." but let his mind wander off to the quiet night sky. He settled his head back down on Kati's neck softly, slowly closing his eyes, going back to sleep; his tail curled around Kati softly.

ʬʬʬʬʬ The morning sun slowly rose from the horizon. Moon still visible and stars faintly glowing, day time arose. Drek was sound asleep, while Kati'd been awake. The white leopard left off early to go find some fish for the two to feed on. After a while of fishing through cracked ice she headed back to the den, which so happens to have been located on top of a tall hill. Drek's eyes opened slowly, he looked around for a moment, still at the den. He sighed with relief, didn't have the dream, again. He stood up and stretched, yawning. Kati dropped the fish that she caught down at the frozen lake.

ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Good morning dear, got us some fish. Did you sleep okay?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Yeah.. For once."

ʬʬʬʬʬ He'd moved forward to take his share of the food, but first he moved up to her: He gave her a thank you by nuzzling her in an embrace. After she'd taken her part he picked up his share, pulling off a little to sit down on the cold ice and lay down. A good thing about this place was that food wouldn't go bad all to easy, it'd be frozen most of the time. So it was best eat fresh than later if you had just gone hunting. When the two had been done feasting, they decided to head down to some other lake they'd seen not long ago, it wasn't too far either; but they never really went through much of the lands. They both hopped down the steep frozen hills, tails were swinging side to side to keep balance. Drek jumped off from near the bottom, landing just ahead on the ice. It wasn't too thin, but wasn't too solid either.

ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Be careful hun, ice doesn't feel all so solid."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "I will, don't worry. I'm use to living on ice."

ʬʬʬʬʬ The two walked near the edges, it was best stay close to land in case they fell, that way they can at least get out with ease. As they explored Drek moved up next to Kati and wrapped his tail around hers, smiling and heading else where, top of what seemed to be a flat topped hill. Kati raised an eyebrow curiously, following along. Drek's tail slithered away from hers, he hopped his way up to the top; where he would then turn around and lay down, awaiting his lover. Kati arrived up, walking next to him to turn and sit. She looked at him with still curious eyes, wondering what he was up to. Drek did nothing but look forward, and so she did too.

ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Why are we he- Wow.. Drek, I love the view."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "I think that may be why we're here, dear."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "How come we never came here before?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "I'm rather curious myself. We always hung around the other side. I just noticed the view while we were browsing around, figured we could stop here for a while."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "We should come here more. Though, I will say, that seems more like Tundra plains to me."
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "And they look completely clear of life. Come on, we'll go on and see what's there."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Sure, just make sure you can find your way back in case we bump into some no good."

ʬʬʬʬʬ And so it was. The view of Tundra plains had never been seen before, and it seemed as if no life roamed around. Maybe the two could live there instead. And the journey begun: A long walk that lasted maybe a day or two. They stopped occasionally, seeing where the ice would end. It was slowly beginning to turn to land from that point on. As they walked, the snowy fields got closer. Sooner or later they'd arrived: They've now seen a sight even better than from long far away. These plains weren't normal. Crystals in areas on occasion, large trees which seemed to provide some good shade if it were too sunny, an area that was making for a perfect mountain. Their was some.. odd area, seemed like it would be a throne. The part that amazed the two the most was the Dens. It was all leveled, and their seemed to be hot water next to some small bathing pool. How could all this be naturally made? It wasn't possible. But, either way, the two had much more to see, but it was night, they were a little tired, and they chose to sleep at the dens: They claimed the bottom one as theirs, their were 3. The area was crawling with fireflies. How could those things survive such weather? Ahh well. They settled down, cuddled up to one another: Into a peaceful slumber they fell, together.

ʬʬʬʬʬ A new day's sun rose from the orange tinted horizon. It was a time of light snowfalls, but the trees, which oddly seemed placed (Yet again seeming unnatural), stopped snow from falling into the dens, which had ferns to add up with the comfort. Drek rose quietly, trying to not wake Kati. He padded out the den and stretched; looking at the scenery. He took a small gaze at her and padded back towards her. The male laid down just beside her, against her back as she slept on her side. His tail rested on her side, and he then took a small nap, waiting until she'd be awake.

ʬʬʬʬʬ The soft, white female yawned and opened her eyes. It was an easy morning to wake up to, no sun in the eyes. She was laying against Drek, who seemed to have awaken before her, seeing that he was looking at her in the eyes as soon as she saw him.

ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Well good morning there."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Early bird much?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Nnnnnope. Just had a good sleep. I think you're to blame."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: She chuckled and shook her head, nuzzling him. "Well that may be so but it's because of you I was still asleep. Any signs of life around here yet, asides prey?"
ʬʬʬʬʬDrekentai HieloRey: "Doesn't seem like it. I think we may have found our new homelands. All of it would be ours too, considering how empty it is."
ʬʬʬʬʬKati HieloRey: "Well then, welcome home; dear~."

ʬʬʬʬʬ Drek nuzzled back with a soft lick, then looked around a bit. Than so it was it: This was their new home, their territory, their land. It was perfect for them, too. The cold and snow went perfect with the fact that both were meant for such weather.
