Soul walked through the Halls of The Lost. His eyes glowed in the meager light from the ceiling and his tail flames. He brightened his flames. There, thats better... Scents flooded his nostrils, the sharp tin smell of snow, the musk of the old room, the faint scent of older visitors. I would be scared, if I knew how to be...

He stopped in the middle of the room. Staring at the walls, Soul wondered what to do next. He thought this would be a good place to find what he sought. What he sought, was his meaning in life...what he was made to do...his purpose...

Summon the djinni with your mystic pentacle,
he appears in guises most fanciful.
Tread with caution of his deceitful ways,
lest this be your last of days.
Give him his charge and send him on his way,
before his tricks lead you into disarray...

Soul continued to stare around. The his eyes had grown used to the darkness, it was less frightening. "This place smells of old adventures..." he mused. The scents of lucain, sahounds, other kuhnas, and all sorts of other pets permeated his nostrils. They reminded of his home...and his uselessness there. He never knew what to do...he usually just got in the way. Even his brother, Bakuhatsu, found him a bit odd. Only Becca, Vetinari, and his mother ever said much to him. Him...the outcast...

Soul sighed and walked foreward again. He sniffed around the halls, searching for anything. Looking for secret passages, tunnels, crevices. They might lead to a clue to his existance...

Sekkai was looking at him from the shadows where Soul couldn't see him. He was strangely thinking that this wasn't the good place for this Kuhna, he seemed a little bit lost. Sekkai had decided that he wanted to go out somewhere, and he decided that this shrine could be a good place to come.

Quiet footsteps echoed through the Halls of the Lost. A Void Sahound slowly padded into the hall, his eyes void of emotion. It had to be this way... It was the only way for him to keep his demon under control - to never show emotion. Ever. Not even to those he loved. Sighing, he looked around at the walls, trying not to remember that one fateful day so many years ago, when he had stumbled into something a pup should never encounter. A fate so terrible that it would haunt him until he was dead. The demon lay inside him, waiting, always waiting for its chance to take over his body, and turn it into a killing machine. His musing were interrupted when he caught sight of the light from a Generation Ancient Kuhna's firey tails. Curious, he began to walk toward it, wondering what this Kuhna could be doing here.

Before the Void Sahound could reach Soul, there was a bark from behind him. "Hey look, it's Fidel!" Scout, a Wood Sahound, raced into the hall, her tail wagging furiously. A Seraph Sahound padded calmly behind her, her wings folded neatly against her body. Deciding it wouldn't be wise for them to see him, since they could spark an emotion inside him, Fidel slipped into the shadows.

"Where did he go?" Scout asked, looking around with disappointment. She walked over to the Generation Ancient, and sat down, her tongue lolling comically out of her mouth.

"Hello, I'm Aurelia, and this is Scout," the Seraph said kindly to the Kuhna. "Who are you?" She also sat down, and stretched one wing out luxuriously. In the shadows, Fidel turned away, willing himself not to have any emotion whatsoever. Even love could possibly cause the terrible transformation to his demon form.

Surprise flickered across Soul's face. He hadn't smelt any recent scents. "Um...Hi, I'm Soul." he said. Soul looked at the tounge hanging out of Scout's mouth. For some reason, he had a dreadful urge to laugh. He stifled it and smiled at the sahounds. "Its nice to meet you." he added. "And if you don't mind me asking, where did who go?" If he ever had a main downside, it was that he was nosey.

"Oh, Fidel. He's another Sahound that lives in the Menagerie. Only he's always keeping his distance, and seems so vacant all the time. I wish he would open up," Scout said, finally pulling her tongue back into her mouth so that she could talk.

'If only she knew why,' the Sahound in question thought from the shadows. 'Why I can never open up to anyone. Never.' He felt sadness leaking into his heart, and desperately fought it back, sucking in a deep breath. Maybe a little too loudly.

"What was that?" Aurelia asked, her keen ears twitching as she whipped her head toward a pillar. "I thought I heard something just suck in a breath." She got to her feet and stood watching carefully for movement.

"Maybe it's Fidel!" Scout cried, and the outgoing Wood Sahound dashed over to the pillar. Fidel thought of escaping, but knew he had no choice but to show himself now. As calmly as he could, he stepped out from hiding before Scout reached him. "Yay, it's you!" she barked, barely restraining herself from licking him.

"Yes," he replied flatly, and padded over toward Soul. Sitting down on the opposite side of the Kuhna, he tried to relax, to purge himself of all emotions. But it was so hard when he was with others.

Sekkai was silently watching from the darkness. He was curous to see what would happen next. A moment after Fidel sat at the side of the kuhna, Sekkai spotted something moving not far from where he was. When I look at it, he realized it was a mouse. Without even thinking he jump at it playfully, but he missed catching it. He couldn't help the little 'sigh' after he missed it.

"You can come out." Soul called to Sekkai. He had heard the breath and had caught the shift in the breeze as Sekkai had jumped. He looked back at Fidel. "You seem a bit worried." said Soul, his pale eyes taking in Fidel's stance and forced emotionlessness. "Any perticular reason for your being here?" Soul thought about what he had just said. "I'm sorry if I appear a bit nosey, its a bad habit."

"It's quite all right," Fidel said stiffly. "Everyone's curious about me. And no, there is no special reason." This was sort of a lie. He had actually come here to try and find some solitude, and to find a quiet place to muse about his accursed fate.

"Aww, come on Fidel, loosen up a little," Scout said, leaping back over, and then stretching. "We don't bite.. usually." She grinned mischievously, and flopped down on the cool ground.

"What's your name?" Aurelia asked the Generation Ancient Kuhna. "And yours?" she said, addressing the invisible-so-far pet that he had told to come out. The Seraph Sahound gracefully seated herself next to her super hyper companion.

Sekkai have been surprised when hr heard soul's call, but now he would have to get out since they knew he was there. He walked off of the shadows and stopped a little way off of them. ''I'm Sekkai'' he replied after Aurelia's words.

Soul smiled at the Sekkai. "Nice to meet you." he said. "My name is Soul." he added in reply to Aurelia's question. Soul sat back on his haunches. He had never thought that he would run into so many people here. From what he had heard, the Halls of the Lost had such a ominous air, that many people stayed away from it.

"Nice to meet you, Soul and Sekkai. I'm Aurelia," the Seraph Sahound said in her light, angelic voice. "What brings you here?"

"We're here because Kitty sent us to look for a Hunter," Scout said, nodding her head in emphasis. "She really wants one, so she decided to send us out. And then we found out that Fidel was here, too, so we went lookin' for him." She gave the Void Sahound a wink, which he ignored, to her disappointment.

Fidel wasn't feeling so great. He was getting more depressed by the minute, mostly because he didn't want to be near them. What if his demon took over without warning? They would all be dead within 15 seconds, and it would be all his fault. He would never forgive himself for that.

Wondering if they would notice, Fidel began to slink back into the shadows. But just before he reached that safe haven, Scout noticed. "Fidel, get back here! Where do you think you're going?" She was on her feet, tail wagging ferociously. Clearly, she wanted to turn this into a game. 'Well it's not a game,' he thought angrily, but obediently padded back, resuming his seat next to Soul.

"Scout, be nice," Aurelia said, poking the hyper Wood Sahound with one of her paws. "I don't think he's feeling so well today." She gave him a sympathetic smile, and he felt his heart quicken. 'No, stop, stop!' he thought desperately, and looked away, staring at the ground instead of at the beautiful Seraph's face.

[Fidel: 5, Scout: 5, Aurelia: 5 -- level up for all!]

Sekkai was playing with his paws near them as they were talking. If one of them had asked him anything he didn't hear it. Anyway, for him it was impossible to understand all the things that they were talking about.

"You alright Fidel?" inquired Soul. He saw the sahound's panic, and was instantly concerned. "You look a bit peeky." He reeks of panic... "Is this normal for him?" Soul wispered to Scout. She seemed to know a good bit about Fidel.
