Most of the southern region of Baa'sek is cut off from the rest of the continent by the dense, dangerous Tengel Rainforest. Much of what isn't forest is swamp lands, with the Baian Swamp covering the majority of the coast. Most cities exist along the edges of the rain forests, particularly in a divide just on the eastern limits of Baa'sek. Lamenolai lies to the north while the Slums lie to the south.

Fleeing For Our Lives [Self, L/A/V]

"Get out!" roared a voice. A rock soared by the Lykuhna's head, clipping his ear. He ignored the pain and the blood that was now dripping down, staying crouched by the hole where his younger sister had fallen. Normally she'd have sprung right out, but this landing had twisted one of her paws beneath her, and she was curled up and whimpering.

"We don't want you here, you monster! Leave or we'll kill you!"

He wanted to yell at them, tell them that his sister was injured, that she needed help, but he had already forgotten most of the human tongue.

"Little Sister...you'll be alright. Look at me. I'll keep you safe. Reach out to me. I will carry you. I don't care how far..."

"Damn beast! Doesn't have the good sense to get the fuck out before we do something worse than throw rocks at it!"

The shaking young Candy Apple Kuhna slowly looked up, reaching her paw upwards. Her brother struggled forwards, reaching his own paw out.

"Well, maybe this will do! It likes that hole so much, it can stay there and rot!"

They could almost touch.

"Die!"

A much larger rock flew right at him, striking him in the rear legs and sending him falling into the hole, landing on top of his sister and nearly crushing her.

He could hear them moving closer. Ignoring her whimpers of protest, he spread himself out as much as he could so that she was concealed beneath him.

"Don't move, alright?" he whispered. "Stay still. We're playing a game. They can't see you..." As she quieted down, he did his best to focus and calm himself down as well, to will himself to be still and silent. He could feel the blood flowing down and matting his fur.

"Is it dead?"

"I think it is. Or at least close to."

"What should we do with it?"

"Burn the body. We don't want it rising up again."

Their voices trickled into his ears, but they were growing faint. Their would-be killers were leaving. If he worked fast, he and his little sister would be safe. He got up, nudging her and encouraging her to get up as well.

"Get on my back. I'll help you get out," he whispered, trying his best to ignore the pain in his legs. She looked at him, her eyes frightened.

"Big brother...you're bleeding! What happened?"

"I hurt myself when I fell, like you did. But I'm still stronger! So don't worry!" She nodded, and he crouched down so that she could get on. Leaning his front paws against the wall, he braced himself as she clambered over him, kicking at his back several times before she got out of the hole. She immediately turned around, reaching out her paw. He could clearly see it was her injured one.

"No," he said. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Go out of town and wait for me!" She fidgeted. "I'll find you your favorite apples," he added. She grinned, then turned around and dashed off. He sighed. It was a good thing she hadn't heard what those people were saying.

As she ran off, he heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and the crackling of fire. He closed his eyes, prepared to stand between them and her for as long as it took. He heard more voices, but then the footsteps stopped. He opened his eyes. The people were huddled together, talking among themselves. Oh right...they'd thought he was dead, hadn't they? Grinning, he began to approach them. Their voices slowly became clearer.

"It's not dead?"

"I thought it was! Did it come back?"

"It must have!"

"What do we do?"

"Silver! You need silver for that!"

"This is silver!" came a voice. It was sharp, harsh, and sudden, and he had no time to dodge as the thrown knife slashed across his back. He let out a loud howl of pain, feeling it burn at him. He struggled to stay upright, and keep moving towards them, knocking the knife backwards with one of his tails.

"Do you have any other silver?"

"At home..."

"Go get it!"

There was the sound of running footsteps. Some of the remaining people took swipes at him with their torches, but he pressed onwards. If he could frighten them enough...

"It's still coming! What do we do?"

"Wait for Jeremiah to come back with the silver, of course! Then we kill it!"

Despite their brave words, they were still backing away from him. He smirked, then crouched and lunged forward, letting out a loud roar. That was when most of them broke ranks and started to flee, weapons and torches left behind.

He panted hard, feeling his chest constrict and his breath shorten after that roar. He shouldn't have pushed himself so hard, but at least most of them were leaving now. A few short steps and a low snarl took care of the rest. Now...he had to find his sister. He quickly turned away from the village, then paused. He had to, at least, get an apple for her. He had promised.

Luckily, one of them had overturned a bushel of apples in their flight. He made his way towards said bushel, panting a bit, before starting to paw through the apples. Quite a few of them had been bruised in the fall, but he managed to find several pristine ones. He balanced most of them onto his back, his tails curling around to help keep them from falling, before he started towards the forest.

He had to move somewhat slowly, so that the apples wouldn't fall off. But luckily, no one came after him while he was making the slow walk into the forest.

"Little sister?" he called, once he was within the trees. "I'm here! And see, I brought you apples, like I promised!"

"Big Brother!" came a voice. A red-and-green blur came bounding out of the trees, crashing into him and sending him flying, along with most of the apples. He landed hard, moaning slightly as pain coursed through his limbs.

"Big Brother? Big Brother! Are you hurt?" The Candy Apple Kuhna immediately backed away, looking into her brother's eyes and over the various gashes on his body. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you more!"

"I'm fine," he hissed, managing to get up again. "You just surprised me, that's all."

"Are you sure?" she asked, concern shining in her eyes. He smiled, a bit weak from his wounds, but wanting to remain reassuring to her anyways.

"Yes, Little Sister. Now come on, you don't want those apples to spoil, do you?" He gestured to the large pile of fruit lying around them. She gasped in joy.

"They're great! Thank you so much, Big Brother!" She pounced forwards and licked his cheek in gratitude, before lunging at one of the apples and chewing down on it.

He smiled as he watched her go to town on the apples, rubbing his cheek to get some of the stickiness off. He really didn't know how she managed to ooze so much sugar from every pore despite hardly getting to eat any. At least it didn't seem to hinder her in her love for plain apples.

"These are delicious! They're not like the wild ones, all small and sour and green! Where did you find them?" she asked eagerly.

"Oh...I got them back there. That's why you had to go first, you see! I wanted it to be a surprise!"

"Oh. But...we could carry them together, right? Then we could have shared them together!" He winced at her innocence, then shook his head. He couldn't let her know the truth about what had happened back there, or what those people wanted to do to him.

"Don't worry about it, really. Don't get greedy." Her face immediately fell.

"Oh...I'm sorry, Big Brother! I didn't mean to be greedy again!" Her eyes seemed to glitter for a moment. "You won't leave me behind for that, will you?"

"What? No! Of course not! Why do you think I'd leave you behind!" She looked sadly at him, lowering her head.

"Isn't that why Mom and Dad left us? Because I asked them for too much?"
