As Wilder trotted along the path through Orion, she counted through the things that she still needed to do for the Collector. He had wanted her to go to Tunnel N - meet the Bloodberries and find out what they're doing. She needed to meet the black dog Kavish, the white tiger Bahamut, and the black wolf Astaroth. She needed to find the Children of Rot and learn about them. Well, she'd definitely learned about the Children - Dragon had actually made her one of his own! She had talked to Astaroth but it had been a short conversation. She had met Bahamut but no matter where she searched, she couldn't find Kavish. That just left the Bloodberries. Dragon had warned her that they might be dangerous but she wasn't too worried. In fact, she trotted along happily and with a great amount of excitement. She was almost done with her mission!

She continued along, completely oblivious and also ignoring the threat that was ahead of her. That she'd only find an empty cave littered with bones while the family was at war. And she was all but oblivious to the other danger that was stalking her footsteps.

Wilder jumped with surprise at the sudden voice that materialized behind her and she whipped around. Before her was a lizard, a very very big lizard. Much bigger then any other lizard, besides Dragon, she had met before and she found her face splitting into a grin. It didn't matter why she had snuck up on her only that she was ecstatic to meet yet another huge giant lizard thing! "Wow! Hello! Hi, I'm Wilder! What's your name? I'm just going to the Tunnel to meet some new friends! What are you doing?"

She couldn't help, then bouncing around the lizard, sniffing one of her claws, observing the big shiny thing around her neck. "Wow what is that? Gold and sparkly! Pretty!"

Wilder flinched a bit at the reptile's spitting tone and frowned when she pulled away from her touch. She was a bit hurt but she kept in mind that Indelia had said some new friends didn't want to be touched. So she stepped back, her tail swishing anxiously across the ground. But she was determined to keep a smile on her face! She was going to stay positive! "I'm sorry, I didn't mean any offense! You have a pretty necklace. And you're big and strong and amazing! Why are you called Greed?" She knew the word meant wanting things, wanting a lot of things, but she didn't really associate it with anything bad. But why someone would call themselves greed was beyond her.

She tilted her head, a little confused. The Collector surely wouldn't be sending her somewhere as dangerous as the home of murderers? "Uh yeah that's the one. I'm going to meet the Bloodberries. I hear they live there." It occurred to her that, perhaps, Greed didn't get along too well with the Bloodberries. Maybe they had an argument. "I'm sure they're okay. Aren't they a family?"

The claws came way too close to Wilder's nose for comfort and she squealed with surprise as she jumped back. She stared at Green with shock. Had she just tried to hurt her?! No, wait, no! She couldn't! She wouldn't! Why...why would she do that?!

And worse, now she was announcing her plan to kill them, kill the family that she was supposed to meet. She was going to kill a family! Wilder shook her head as the beast lumbered away. No...she couldn't let her! Without really meaning to, she reached out with her magic, wanting to stop her, stop her in her tracks! Just as she leaped forward, her telekenetic magic latched onto the komodo dragon and flipped her over, giving Wilder enough time to get back in front of her - between her and the tunnel. "No! You can't just go and kill them! I won't let you!"

She planted her feet apart and stood up tall, her fur puffed out to try and make herself look bigger. I did none of the sort.

Wilder was waiting for Greed to start lashing out with claws again and she had her own spells waiting at the front to defend herself should the dragon attack. But...nothing was happening. There was nothing...and then a sound whispered in her ear, a sound she had hoped she'd never hear again.

The world suddenly tremored. It didn't actually, but it felt that way to her and a loud crack sounded in her ear. Suddenly, a burning pain raced up her arm, near the large scar on her leg and she screamed just as a scream resonated in her ear. It wasn't real and it didn't feel quite real, as if it was disconnected but the memory broke the dam and the haze poured into her mind.

A surge of magic erupted from her body, scattering rocks and pebbles, sending dust flying as well as Reseda as she continued to scream, lost in her memory, lost in the pain, lost in the haze.
