A Four-pawed journey (open)

[purefox]

The sun rose to announce a new day to all, who live under its brillant rays. Birds began soar through their grassy meadow not far from isafaro. Aru awoke to their song.
"Where am I?" the fox thought, "this place seems different then my home." Looking at his surroundings, he saw a strange shape in the horizon and deciding to investigate. It took about 2 hours to reach the outskirts of isafaro, but to Aru all he saw was a human nest. Aru had never seen a human city before and terrified him. The smell was horrific, the sounds were unnatural, but what made Aru tremble was the dark aura that hung over it like a cloud.

Aru made his decision, to brave his fear of humans and destroy the dark aura, he needs to find help. Aru hesitated, where should he go? the question was answered by a strange feeling to go west, so west he went unknowingly heading for Kari another large city.

The sun started to fall, coloring the sky a brilliant rose-gold. Aru collasped in exhaustion under a proud oak tree.

"It seems that I overdid it," Aru thought, "I need to be more careful."

Sleep took Aru just as the first star appeared in the night sky. In his exhausted state, Aru didn't sense a new danger headed his way.

Leather boots fell as their owners seeked a prize. The poachers were hunting for a perfect animal that they could train and later enter into The Ring. The Ring was a underground arena that pitted animals, magical or not, againest each other to the death. Suprisingly, this arena has been undetected for years, even though many people have lost or even gained their entire fourtunes here.

"Tharn, have our traps caught anything?"
Tharn looked at his companion, "No, Not one of our traps were even triggered....is it me or are the animals getting Smarter?"
"You idiot, animals can't get any smarter. Tharn, just move the traps, then we'll check them at sunrise."
"can you check them, kaira? I hate waking up that early."
In responese, Kaira scowled at Tharn. "Just do it or I will feed you to the wolves."
Tharn sighed quietly, then rushed off to the closest bear trap, but when he got there a gasp escaped from him. A fox had managed to fall asleep, but foot away from his steel trap. Tharn sensed a power coming from it. " this strange fox might be the break he needed." Tharn thought. He made split decision,he quickly bagged the fox and took off for kari alone.

A thick metalic scent filled Aru's nose, forcing him out of his wonderful dream. Steel bars surrounded him from all sides giving him hardly any room to move. "Trapped in a cage, how did this happen?" he questioned himself. "These bars...did a human catch me?" With a screech, a door opened, letting a beam of light pierce the darkness. Two figures strode in toward Aru, deep in conversation.

"Tharn, was it now? It better not be another failure of a canidate." The taller figure bent down see the contents in the cage. "A fox? Are you bloody insane? It is probably the smallest canidate for a tournament, let alone the Black Sky Tournament! Tharn, do you remember the finals of the lotus tournament last week?"

"Yes I do Boss, but...." The tall figure interrupted him. "Tharn, the fight between two dragons, the winner, Smaug, is going to be in this tournament. I don't understand how you canexpect me to believe that I can bet in him againest creatures like that."

"Boss, I caught him, because I sensed that he has a strong aura." Tharn reached into his pocket and pulled out something. "Boss, I will prove then, a few taser jolts should bring outsome magic."

Aru's mind started to race. "The cage too small, I'm not going to be able to dodge this. I guess I'm going have to use my armor." Tharnreached though the bars, and stabbed with the taser. A sheet of ice spread across Aru's fur, formingv into full armor, just in time to deflect the blow. "What the..." Before Tharn could say anything else, Aru threw his ice-covered body toward Tharn's arm,breaking it.

While Tharn howled in agony, his boss just grinned, thinking that this fox might actually be worth entering in the tournament tomorrow.

(Sorry for the mistakes....also anyone can join or spectate the tournment tomorrow afternoon.)
