Everything was just a disaster. She was still trying to find more and more to help her take down Vazi and his insane idea that all carnivores were wretched creatures only meant to 'serve' him. Fur bristled up just thinking about it. As if on queue her gem hummed to life, vibrating it's normal way as magic began to well up inside of her and for a moment the floor trembled beneath her paws. A long sigh escaped her as she eased her magic away. The ground fell still once more, but something else began to stir in the shadows above.

Audits twitched as she rose her gaze to the ceiling, squinting her eyes to see what may be moving up in the shadows. Before too long Arkrael felt it was merely just her imagination so she quickly shook it off and returned her attention back to the ground she stood on. Her thoughts trailed back to Vazi and what she needed to do to make the caves safe for all living gembounds once more..

Arkrael was casually checking her scared shoulder. It had fully healed by now, but the fur would not grow back just like the wound from Kerberos had. It left her an interestingly skewed X on her shoulder. It wasn't until she suddenly heard movement did her gaze snap up again. Loud screeching suddenly came, echoing through the tunnel and Arkrael rose to her paws in response. Fur began to bristle along her neck and spine as her gaze searched the ceiling still. The noise grew louder and before Arkrael had a chance to react large bats suddenly dived from the ceiling.

A snarl ripped from the wolfess' chest as she attempted to jump out of the way of the attacking bats. Startled by the size and even their appearance Arkrael had never seen one of these bats before. For a moment she wondered if they were gembounds like her, but no matter how much she shouted at them to stop, or that she was not here for trouble, they did not listen. Soon here temper grew and she made to take a bite out of the bats, but it easily swooped out of reach and Arkrael landed back on the ground with nothing in her jowls.

She growled and watched the fluttering creatures as they circled about screeching about something. Whatever it was, Arkrael didn't care in the leeast. She could already feel the sharp burning of cuts their little claws had made upon her hide when they first bolted down to attack her. A roar escaped her, loud and echoing within the tunnel. The bats hesitated, swooping down lower as if to attack her once again, before they had changed their minds and Arkrael was left to watch them fly away.

With a snort Arkrael turned from them and was about to leeave herself before she suddenly heard another sound. Something far similar to what the bats had been making. Audit's perked and she followed the sound until she found herself standing over a much smaller creature. Dark reddish orange fur covered it's small frame as it's black leather wings were outstretched as if it had been trying to fly. It seemed to be stuck and she knew it had to be a child of one of the lesser gembounds that had been attacking. Perhaps that was why they were suddenly attacking her...

Slowly Arkrael stepped closer to the hissing bat, studying the small spines upon it's back. She sniffed at it, unsure what to make of it, or even what it could possibly be. Yes, some sort of bat. But what kind of bat? She stooped down a little closer only to jerk back when the little thing trieed to claw at her nose with a dark hiss. "You're a feisty little thing aren't ya.." She murmured as she studied the rock that seemed to be on the end of it's left wing, keeping it from moving too much.

With a sigh and ignoring all the hissing and screeching from the young bat Arkrael moved in and tried to grasp the rock that was pinning the little thing down. A sharp hiss suddenly escaped her when claws suddenly tore through her chin and she was about to pull back and pop her jowls at the little creature, but something suddenly washed over her. The sensation began at her gem, trickling all throughout her until even her tailtip felt the strange surge. Almost instantly the sensation of fear overwhelmed her and she pinned her ears back.

This was not her fear. Her gaze fell down to the near hyperventilating bat and furrowed her brows in confusion. 'Be calm...little one. I am not here to harm you,' She thought as she slowly began to reach for the rock again. There was no attack from the now quiet creature and she gripped the rock in her jowls and lifted it from the bat.

Tossing it aside, Arkrael turned to look at the bat who was now moving to stand on all four of it's paws; or at least that's what Arkrael assumed to call them. Their eyes met, heterochromia studying that of deep coal. Though shock instantly took hold of Arkrael as the bat's eyes slowly began to change. Draining into a color that would more so reflect the gem upon her chest. Her breath rushed out and within a sudden moment something clicked. She could hear the creature's sudden thoughts. Listened to the little one blabber on to himself as they continued to stare. And then soon...the bat's thoughts calmed and words slipped into Arkrael's mind.

'Who you?'

"My calling is Arkrael," She responded out loud before more words filled her thoughts, 'Do you have a name?'. For a moment it was quiet with no response before finally the little bat shook it's head no.

Arkrael had found herself laying on her belly just before the little bat. The little bat that was now staring so calmly at her. It felt amazing, the once hostility from the little creature and the rambling it had put off just to try to send her away was now all gone. In place of it only curiosity and the soft warmth of something different. The way the creature's eyes had changed into the pearlescent white with glittering colors was just as astonishing to Arkrael.

'Would you like a name...?' Her thoughts came softly, slowly at first not wanting to overload this little creature with the whole new sensation she was sure both of them were experience.

'Is name...important? Yes? Do you have name for me?'

The little bat's thoughts were a bit confused in Arkrael's mind and the she-wolf could only smile at the idea of once again having another child on her paws. 'They can be yes...' She finally answered as she lowered her head down to rest over her paws, her nose just inches away from the reddish orange bat. For a moment or two Arkrael went through names, listing them one by one to see which one this little bag would enjoy the most. To anyone passing by all they would see would be a large wolf starting down a bat while the bat stared right back.

'Well, what about Pheo?' She finally tried one last time after he had continued to shake his head and even scrunched his nose in repulsion at certain ones. Arkrael smiled as the bats eyes lit up, ears twitching excitedly.

'Yes! Yes yes ! I like that one' He shuffled, his wings fluttering around as he inched even closer to the wolf.
