He looked at her, but then looked away as he thought, scratching the back of his head as he thought.

"Well, I don't remember it that well, but I guess I can explain the main idea," he said as he walked around the trunk of the tree to the other side. "Basically, the story is that a long time ago, there was a very kindhearted girl, named Sera, who would sit underneath this tree everyday. One day, as she made her way to this tree, she saw someone deathly wounded lying beneath it. Clearly upset at such a sight, she quickly helped him, and thanks to her quick thinking, saved his life. She brought him back to her home she had to herself thanks to the help of the villagers, where she nursed the sickly stranger back to health. After a few days, he almost fully recovered, and once realized he owed his life to her, he quickly came to respect the girl.

He, who was found to be named Eraph, quickly came to befriend her. Sera was more than happy to make friends, and the two swiftly became close. As time went on, friendship gave way to something more, and they were dubbed partners for life a few years later. But Eraph wasn't as he seemed with the waning and waxing of the moon.

Though she noticed his strange behavior, she never questioned it till that fateful day. One day, the time of the full moon, he finally broke. Eraph became completely raged, destroying almost everything in the house before taking off into the woods, a shocked Sera watching. The villagers all rallied together, hunting him down as their suspicion grew into hatred.

She chased him through the woods, and by dusk she finally found him at their favorite place, the tree. He was standing in the shadow of the tree, and because of the sinking sun, she couldn't see him very well till she approached him. When she saw what he was, she was completely taken aback, as you can imagine.

His body was completely covered in fur, grey-ish black. His ears were morphed between a dog's and a human's, and from he had a tail that was very bushy. When he looked at her, he slowly grew less like a human and more animal in form till, with the moon overhead, his transformation was complete. He had turned into a wolf the size of a small house, but he wasn't vicious at all. When she got over her fear and stepped closer, he slowly linked backwards behind the tree.

When he finally stopped as she continued her approach, she reached out her hand with that same, kind smile. Right when he reached out to her, the angered villagers came, and before they realized that Sera was there, someone threw a weapon, a spear, straight at her by accident. But before she could be impaled, the spear struck Eraph, who had kept in front of his beloved. He died immediately, the spear having struck right into his heart.

Heartbroken, Sera cried for days in her home. As years went by, her heart still longed for her beloved, and she would still visit the tree each day, but would carry flowers, for they had buried him right beneath the tree. One day, years later, the neighbors who were worried went to the tree to look for Sera, but found she had passed away peacefully beneath her tree.

Since that day, they called this tree the Sera and Eraph Tree, but as time went on it was shortened to the Seraph Tree. Or so the story goes," he finished, stepping away from the trunk with a leaf he had picked up in his hand.

"But that's just the legend. So much for happy endings, am I right?" He shrugged as studied the leaf in his hands.

"That is a very interesting legend. Who knows? What if it actually happened? That'd be weird yet cool at the same time." Her tail swayed to the left and to the right. She turned and smiled at him. "We should probably get going. We've been dilly-dallying here for a bit."

"That's true, but legends are just that till proven," he said as he stepped away from the tree, smiling kindly. He walked forward as he went on.

"Yeah, we should get going, though. Geronsburg isn't far from here, and my house is on the edge of it. We should get there before dark if we go this way." He began walking into the woods.

She followed closely behind. "Won't the people in your village find it weird seeing a girl like me with my features? They're probably going to be really confused."

He stopped and looked at her, thinking.

"That's true. For now, if you want, you can use my cloak. Keep the hood up and you should be fine," he said as he took off his black cloak, holding it out. "Though it's been on my mind, how did you get those features? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I was just a bit curious."

"Well, I was born- err.. created with them. I was created in a lab thanks to gene splicing and in vitro fertilization and grown in a test tube up until a year and a half ago, where I was taught how to speak fluently in English, how to be an assassin, and a bunch of other stuff. It's not fun, especially when you escape out of said lab."

She put on the cloak and put the hood up.

"Alright. The cloak is now on. I escaped two days ago. I was created to fight and kill so my creator can use me. Imagine having an assassin that listens to your every command. You could kill very important people with that assassin, especially one born for just killing. Unlike what he expected, however, I'm actually smart and I know that isn't a good thing. I learned more than I should've and now he wants me dead. I never saw the outside world until two days. I'm still highly curious. I met a man yesterday who decided to help me, but he turned me in when he saw the reward for turning me in. I'm really hoping you don't do the same to me. You actually seem pretty decent."

Avery listened silently, nodding as he walked through the woods. When she mentioned about him being decent, he smirked.

"Thanks for feeding the ego; I really needed that," he teasingly said, not even trying to hide his grin. As he walked on, he thought about what she said. Escaped, huh? Hmm....Wait a second- he stopped and asked her something.

"Hey, where did you say you escaped from?"

He looked at her, thinking, before he looked away.

"Well.... you said that it was two days since you escaped, right? The thing is, if where you escaped from isn't far from here, and it's been awhile... if you were one of the pursuers, the first place you would look for is the nearest towns and cities, right? Which probably means...."

"It's over there," he pointed towards the northeast, "but relax. They don't know we're here, right? If we can get to my house without them noticing, we should be safe for a while. Afterwards we can figure things out, alright? But we have to keep a cool head if we're going to outsmart your pursuers," he calmly explained.

She sighed. "Alright.. What if they aren't there and come later when we're already there?"

She nodded. "Sounds good. Don't get yourself hurt though. They're quite strong and deadly. You don't want to be on their bad side."

He nodded, but then smiled.

"Yeah, but I'm stronger then you think, you know," he slyly replied. He continued through the forest for a while till he reached the edge. Looking out, he could see his house not far from where they were, and the street that led to the rest of the town. When he looked towards it, he could see the soldiers patrolling through the streets.

"Alright, do you remember what to do if something goes wrong?" He asked.

"Yes, I do. Meet you at the Seraph Tree. If push comes to shove though, I'm going to fight with you. I'm not gonna let you go down especially since you've been this nice to me." She let out a chuckle.
