Slight moans of pain escaped the mouth of Garron as he slowly came to. The first thing he noticed, as always, was the splitting, pounding headache he always had to endure so as not to destroy everything around him with an electrical current. He mumbled something under his breath as he wearily got to his feet.
The second thing he noticed was his surroundings, the soft, and hard, leaf covered floor, and the trees and greenery all about him. The smell came next, as he sat up and looked about him at the randomly packed groupings of trees, and various paths, and trails. After a bit more time sitting there and trying to remember where he was while ignoring the splitting headache, he finally gave up, stood up, and simply tried to center himself, to bring his aura under control. There shouldn't be anything around a place like this, but just in case, thus after gaining a certain level of control, this slightly increasing his headache, he reached up, brushed aside his unkept, shoulder length brown hair and removed a golf ball sized lead covered device from the nape of his neck.
The headache lessened considerably as he placed the device with a sigh in the pocket of his tattered and pale blue jeans. He then uselessly smoothed out his white tee-shirt and old bombers jacket before beginning to walk straight ahead, without any apparent thought for direction. As he walked he began muttering random strings of words, lines from movies, unfamiliar phrases and dialogue apparently with himself as he muttered in a sort of lost, despondent manner.

Twitching ears reacted to the sound of a bird flocking to the forest as Shianne looked out into the old dead forested area. It was strange how the forest looked so bad in some spots, yet in others, green lush forest leaves started to come back. After the war, it was dieing, but now it was somehow coming back to life. Slowly.
With wandering eyes, she finally spotted the dark bird that interested her to go into the forest. Without a single thought, the heel-less shoes that she wore was carelessly thrown to the edge of the forest as her bare feet touched the ground. "This is so awsome..." She thought aloud before taking her self into the forest.
The forest called to Shianne as water did to a fish. She felt part of the forest as a kindred spirt having the senses of a wolf and most of the attributes as well. HEr wolf like ears and tail were the only things that made her different from anyone else, but it was also the keen senses that also helped with her mutation that caused the gifted gene. As her ears twitched yet again to the sound of the chirping bird, Shianne followed it diligently, letting the feathered friend lead her in any direction that it wanted. She didnt' care as long as she got to spend time in the forest and away from the smog of a town.
"I sure wish I was able to see the forest before the war. It seems as though it would have been alot more.. greener!" She said again to herself to break the silence in the forest. Passing a tree, she placed her hand on it and looked around for a moment, before catching a hint of water in the air. "Well.. I guess the water isn't all dried up yet?" Following her gifted gene, she wandered around the forest, looking for the water that she wanted to find, not knowing of the other visitors that was there, but soon enough, she would find them!

"Dotado... That's where I'm headed." Garron said with sudden realization, as a look of awareness came over him, and with it, a sort of anxiety, and panic. What would he do once he reached Dotado? He was supposed to have destroyed it but... Now what? Living in a city period only gave him headaches in not destroying it...
Best worry about that when I get there. Besides, if it doesn't work out, I can always just blow it all up anyways. This strand of thought brought a sort of gleeful delight to his eyes, and a more repressed sense of dread and terror. His headache worsened slightly, causing him to forget where he was going as he started, and walked right into a tree. "Blast it all!" He yelled in pain as he rubbed his sore head. Then he thought he heard movement, and he froze... Simply froze as he listened, and moved his head about to look at the surrounding greenery and trees.
"Calm down Garron my boy...... Just calm down... It's nothing... nothing at all..." Garron told himself unconvincingly as he moved about the tree and headed in the direction he'd been going. Worst of it all was that out in a place like this, where he sensed no electrical currents near by, he was powerless. He wouldn't be able to defend himself unless he went into a mad fury... Which hadn't gone so well the last time it'd happened... "Forget about it, just keep yourself moving...."

Shianne kept her pace steady as she walked, allowing her feet to become one with the earth beneath the skin that was normally kept in protected souls. Every few seconds she would look around but then her eye's would go to the ground again in hopes of finding something worth keeping for herself. She knew during the war, that alot of people fled, but in the forest, they were safer. This gave her hope of finding something from that time. A distant memory of her past that she never knew. Something that would be a great thing to find. The bird she was following had somehow given her the slip but not before she had found the small trickeling water flow that she had smelt of just minutes ago. With a bare grin, she walked over to it to see the water barely covering the rocks and leaves that landed in the vast area. "Well, it's a shame that the creeks don't flow any better... I wish they did... I......" Jumping in a frightened manner, a yell of pain flooded into her sensitive ears, making her shutter suddenly and she put her hands up to her ears.
"What on earth was THAT?" She asked herself, and now completely forgetting about the small creep at her feet, she turned to find the source of the sound. Would it be safe to find whoever it was who was in pain? She didn't know, but she had to find out.
Following the sound of where it originated, her steps became hastened until the darkened figure came into view and Shianne stopped suddenly waiting behind a tree to observe the person. 'It doesn't look like... he would hurt anything.. I mean... Well, he's talking to himself, but AHHHH, what am I doing..' She mentally smiled at herself, and took a step out from behind the tree.
"Is there... Anything I can.. do for you, sir?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and her wolf like ears twitching.

Garron continued his walk, avoiding any other trees, and still rubbing his head, a bit of blood had been drawn, and had trickled halfway down his forehead before stopping. He seemed now to be lost in painful looking migraine.
Then some one popped up from behind a tree and broke him out of his trance like walk. He literally jumped, his arms flailing ever so slightly, as his first instinct was to blow to high heavens anything and everything on this intruder that contained electricity... But he caught himself, although he'd been severely shaken by this sudden intrusion.
He merely stood where he was for a few moments, frozen as his eyes examined this new person... A girl... Or woman, whichever, with fox like physical attributes... Or maybe wolf attributes, he didn't care. But as he stood there, slightly trembling, his mental state shifted ever so slightly, paranoia almost making him turn and bolt. But instead he straightened up, and after a few moments of silence, he gulped before replying with a nod, "No... Not really... Anything you could've done to help him should've come three years ago." He said in a hateful tone, apparently finding her, at least momentarily as some one to place the blame for all his years of mental instability and pain... A prime target for vengeance. He had thoughts of attacking her, baring her to the ground and taking out his years of torture on her... But then sanity and reason gained a slight hold as Grron forced himself to relax and continue on to say. "But perhaps... You could give me directions to... To... Dotado?... Yes, Dotado, I'll go there and see where to go next..." His words trailing off into thought on this last part as he looked down and off to the side in silence, and apparent deep thought. Seemingly having forgotten that the fox/wolf girl was still there for the moment.

He was sleeping in a nearby tree when he heard the scream. Obviously, someone was hurt but he didn't care. Yes, the chance for blood was there but his blood lust was already satisfied. As he slowly opened his eyes, he stretched. As he let out one final yawn, his fangs extended and then retracted. He stood up and jumped out of the tree without making a sound.
He started to walk in the general direction of where he heard the scream, which wasn't too hard considering he was able to smell the blood. He moved without making a sound.

Shianne stood there momentarily as the man started to move about with out control of his muscles. She hadn't meant to scare him, but that she did anyways. Giving off an unconscious smile, she took a step back away from this guy, her wolf like ears now lowered. "Sorry.. I didn't mean to scare you..."
She only put up one hand in front of her waving off the unintentional fright. The shaking the guy was doing was starting to make Shianne wonder if she did the right thing about trying to help. He seemed to be unstable for some reason by the way he was acting. He acted as if he had been beat or something worse by his trembling actions. "Well... I'm sorry... I wasn't able to...!" She said trying to coax him into relaxing, but knew that was a hurdle that she would never clear.
With a pause and a weird look that lasted only a moment, she replied back to his need. "Dotado.. Is just beyond these woods, but it's a bit of a walk if your looking to go into town." She said as she pointed in the direction she came, then lowered her hand beside her yet again. "Well, I guess i'll be on my way... Sorry to bother you!' She said as she started walking in his direction to pass him and give him a quick glance to see what he was doing. She had no idea that another presence was in the forest at the time. It was only a matter of time before she would meet with them as well, but would it be just as welcomed as this meeting?

Garron jerked back into reality, and merely stared at the girl. His eyes somewhat bored, and asleep looking as he stood there silently, and merely watched her with a somewhat eery, unnatural stare. Then, after a few moments of this, he simply turned and started walking in the direction she'd pointed out to him. Walking steadily, and pointedly. With a purpose, and didn't look back. He'd regressed, and would remain this way for some time as memories and past scenarios played in his minds eyes over and over again. Such lapses into memory often plagued him, but it kept him calm, and made it so he wouldn't have to deal with the present. Thus he walked, like a zombie, headed towards the very city he had once been supposed to destroy.

He was able to sense the blood so easily. He could have tracked it down to where it came from if he really wanted to. Instead he decided to relax. He jumped up into a tree and sat on the lowest branch. His cloak draped and hung about 6 feet off the ground, he stretched his legs out and put his hands behind his head. He was only up there for about 2 minutes when he saw her. She was kind of hard to miss. She was beautiful, but had a few interesting features such as what seemed like the ears and tail of a wolf. He at first seemed intrigued by her, but quickly shook it off. He figured he could stay in the tree all day.
