Zephan kept running until he had no idea where he was.  A frantic look around confirmed that none of the trio had followed him.  He bent over with his hands on his knees and struggled for some breath.  Great gods.  He was done with this town.

Zephan was all but forgotten now. Cat twisted and snarled, too large to be a normal housecat, his back legs ripping open a vicious wound in Zahi's belly. Howling in rage, the demon flung Cat away from him, the animal slamming into the wall of a building with a thud.

Shahira shrieking again, rushing to Zahi's side, totally unconcerned about Morgan and his fight, hands pressing Zahi's belly closed, "There there baby. It'll be okay."

Cat stood slowly, shaking it's head and yowled, launching itself at Morgan, needing to distract it from Dog.

Morgan howled with rage and pain and swiped a clawed hand at the dog, but it released his arm and dodged out of reach just in time, darting around him before going in low, for his legs and ankles. Snarling, Morgan went for it--but that was when another furry creature landed on his back, claws digging into his skin. As he tried to claw it off of him, the dog raced back in and sank its teeth into his calf and locked its jaws in place.

Since he couldn't focus on the both of them at once, Morgan honed in on the dog instead, reaching down and grabbing it by the back of its neck, claws digging in until it let out several high pitched yelps of agony and released him.

"Fucking mutt!" he snarled, lifting it halfway off the ground and drawing back his other clawed hand, ready to tear its guts from its body.

Cat went ballistic on Morgan's back, claws raking down his back as it launched itself onto Morgan's arm, teeth and claws sinking in, hissing into his arm. As soon as Dog was able to wiggle free, Cat twisted as Morgan's arm flailed, controlling the fling into a graceful fall, landing several feet away, tail puffed.

Hissing again, the calico tore off with the dog, dashing into the twisting city streets.

Shahira shrieked in rage, hands still holding in Zahi's belly, "You stupid worthless shit! You couldn't kill them?!"

Zephan had found himself in a far less populated side street.  Looking up and down it he saw a scant few people about.  Every other house sported boards over their windows and doors, and stray animals rooted through disintegrating piles of garbage here and there.  He didn't like this at all.

He backtracked, cautiously, seeking one of the main roads.  Any glimpse of ugly troll demon face and he was ready to throw up a wall of earth right there in the street and run back in the other direction.

Morgan was bleeding, his back ripped up and his calf torn. It would heal, but that didn't mean it didn't fucking hurt! He curled up, clutching his leg as blood ran down his back.

"No, you stupid bitch!" Morgan snapped. "I had two on me! And they weren't right!"

He didn't know how else to explain it right then, that those fucking animals weren't normal. A regular dog or cat wouldn't have been an issue, but there was a...supernatural element to those ones.

Dog was in pain, the back of his neck and shoulders bloody, but he kept up a quick (if sore) trot with Cat. He'd slowed down once they'd made it to the streets, nose to the wind as he tried to pick up the man's scent.

"He's not far from here," he told Cat, head down and hoping they weren't being followed.

"THEY WERE ANIMALS!" Shahira glared at Morgan, "Worthless! A few simple pets attack and you fail." Her voice was a low hiss now, "You'll pay for this later."

[hr:1d8f1yb7][/hr:1d8f1yb7]

Cat nodded, keeping closer to Dog's injured side, tail huge and lashing. He was angry and agitated, his twin hurt and the magic user they were stalking had fled, "We better hurry or we'll lose him. He had better be worth it."

Zephan edged around a corner good and slow.  He wished there were more people around.  His blue hair wouldn't have stood out so much.  The street looked clear of his pursuers, nothing but a few townsfolk going about their business and a dog and cat that looked like they'd been in a fight themselves.

The towers of the lord's manor rose up above the rooftops to the north of him.  That was the direction he wanted.  He intended to put himself in the busiest square of the town with plenty of guardsmen nearby, then from there find his way to the most well-traveled gate out of the city.

Dog spotted him then, the one with the blue hair, and perked up even though it hurt his wounds, ears pricking forward. "There!"

Using one final burst of energy, he picked up his pace and fell into a run, barking excitedly and cutting the man off, tail wagging weakly. "Cat! Get over here! I found him!"

"He had better be worth it!" Cat loped after Dog, the fur on his back still standing up. He caught up with the man and wove between his feet, meowing loudly to get attention.

The animals had wandered over to beg scraps off him, but he could finally see what looked to be a familiar set of buildings off at an intersection ahead of him.

"Go on, I don't have anything."  He near tripped over the cat.  He tried to wave them both off and puffed a little flame from his palm to scare them away.

Dog would not be deterred!

Running circles around the man, he went in and nipped at his ankles, trying to herd him in the other direction, the direction he wanted him to go.

"I think he's a little slow, Cat," he said. Most humans were. "Maybe we should Change. I don't think he gets it."

Cat wrinkled his nose, then with a small poof, was a naked, calico man, staring up at the man, "Was that supposed to be magic? You are a mage, right?"

He gave Dog a look. If the man had bad powers, he wouldn't do at all for the Witch. She needed real magic.

Zephan aimed a kick at the damn dog.  He would set the thing on fire if he had to.

"Get lost!"  He had a fireball the size of a watermelon ready to hurl at the beast when the cat was suddenly no longer a cat anymore, but a man.  Naked, staring, and capable of speech.  The fireball sizzled out into nothing.

Why couldn't it have been a woman?

Because the gods were playing with him, that's why.  And here was some fresh horror that would require the presence of a naked cat man and a dog—which he'd bet his last coin could shape shift as well.

The cat asked a question Zephan would normally answer with a ten-minute speech, but the way this day was going his first instinct was to deny, deny, deny.  "A mage?  No!  Don't be silly!"  He forced out a hysterical laugh.  "What are you talking about?  No.  What fire?  Hah..."

All said while he backed away and scrambled for something he could do to get out of...whatever this was.  Something non-magical, since he wasn't a mage at the moment.

With a small huff, Dog followed Cat's lead and transformed as well, just as naked--and unconcerned about his nakedness--as Cat.

"The fire you were trying to scare us with," Dog said with a frown, rubbing the back of his neck, which was scratched and cut up pretty painfully and his shoulders were bleeding as well, though his fur had protected it from worse. "After trying to kick me, I might add! That was a little hurtful, especially after we saved you from the monster."

He tilted his head, confused, and followed after Zephan, taking a limping step forward for every step he took backwards. "Why are you trying to lie?"

Cat moved closer to Dog, worried about the wounds. He wanted to go somewhere quiet and lick them clean, not have to deal with this stupid man.

"Are you or are you not a witch? You made that fire. Or was that just some magic item?" His tail lashed in annoyance. He was not going to be happy if they had gotten hurt to protect him and he wasn't even a mage, just some stupid man with a wand.

"Why are you trying to lie?"  Zephan halted in his retreat and poked a finger at the dog's chest.  These two were very frank.  Most people didn't call out his fancies even if they knew there wasn't a speck of truth to them.  "I don't know what monster you're talking about.  That must have been someone else.  It's sounds important.  You should probably hurry and go find that guy."

He took them each by the shoulder to turn them.  "And I can say with immaculate honesty that I am not a witch."

Witches—to his mind—slept in huts on the outskirts of villages and dosed out potions and herbs soaked with a bit of low magic.  He was quite a bit more than that.

Cat's ear flicked, making a low, growling sound in the back of his throat, "You aren't a witch then? Dog! We wasted our time."

Tail lashing, he stood, naked and proud and angry, "Let's go. Your list was wrong!"

"What?" Dog let himself be turned, ears back with annoyance and tail still. The List was not wrong! For all of Cat's issues with it, it hadn't failed them once!

Well...maybe once. Details, details.

"But--you cast a spell! There was fire! How do you explain the fire!"

Yes!  He'd got one of them to leave off, now he just had to convince the other one.  He didn't know what they wanted a mage for—didn't want to know.  Anything that would increase his involvement with these two animal-men was a bad thing.

"What fire?"  He spread his arms in a gesture that took in the whole of their mundane, fireless surroundings.  "There's no fire.  What are you talking about?  Are you well in the head?  I think you should go lay down in the shade."
