The outdoors seems to always be quiet during the night. Everyone was off into their little dream world, resting for new events once the sun rises. Stars began to appear one by one, twinkling from all of the light pollution. The moon hid behind patches of clouds, too shy to reveal it's luminous light. Yet all you can do is stare.

The pathway you walked upon was rocky, covered with nothing but dust, dirt, mud, and stone. Junk remained everywhere, dancing with the light breeze surrounding you. Others remained motionless, caught in the beat of your footsteps. Echoes of crushing cans and wrinkling papers remained creeping down your spine as you kept walking.

More and more stars began to appear behind the tall buildings miles away. Lights were turning on and off, cars were honking.. Music to your ears. You paused in your footsteps, taking in the smell of the smoke and restaurants that were minutes away. A late supper never sounded better.

You continued walking towards the town. Growls and strange noises came from the pit of your stomach, begging you to walk faster. Yet you kept your pace, seeming in no hurry whatsoever. You were soon there, welcome d by headlights and passerbys. Your stomach could only say, "Forget them, get walking!

This time, you obeyed.

The first nearby restaurant was "Chichi Bay", one of the most popular restaurants known to most citizens. Without hesitation, you walked in, found your seat, and waited patiently. A short waiter soon arrived, holding a pad and pen in his hands.

Yes, may I take your order for something to drink?

You stared down at the menu on the table. Sprite, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper...Those drinks were too boring tonight. Time for something interesting.

You turned the menu over to find a list of custom drinks. Very Berry Fruit Punch, The Gravedigger, and Papercut all seemed good, but one certain drink caught your attention. A smile grew on your face, and you soon looked back at the waiter with pride.

One Volcanic Orange, please!

The waiter looked at you as if you were crazy. After a moment, he shrugged it off and wrote it down slowly.

Only one person usually orders that... He soon vanished to the kitchen, causing other staff members to look over at him as if he was screaming. He probably was inside of his mind.

As soon as you got the drink, it didn't take long for you to nearly drink the entire thing. The mixture of spices and oranges quenched your thirst, but it did not relieve the waiter's sanity as he watched. You set the glass down and looked at him.

Is something wrong?

He only shook his head. Minutes passed, and you were soon full from a large plate of tropical cuisine. You tipped the waiter and made your way out the door. As you did, the feeling of eyes staring at your back haunted you. The city was now quieter than before, with stars covering the sky like a blanket. You followed Polaris to where you entered. That is, until something caught your eye.

A small red light was flickering within the alleyway. Out of curiosity, you approached it to see what it was.

A small fire was expanding on top of a piece of cloth. It danced with the darkness, acting as if it wanted to be free. You reached your foot to put it out.

Don't even try putting that out

You froze in your place, caught in shock by the deep voice in front of you. You stared out at the darkness in front of you, waiting for someone to appear, or even jump out.

An eye opened up immediately, focusing directly at you. All of your senses started to go numb, making you fall back like a doll. With your remaining strength, you crawled back from the eye that approached you. A chuckle echoed in the alley, coming out of the mouth of a tall Lupe. His uncovered eye looked right at you still, but this time it seemed more friendly. He reached out a gloved paw, barely smiling.

Don't worry, I don't bite that much.

You sighed and shrugged off your fears, then grabbed his paw to be pulled to your feet.

So, what is your name?

..I-I'm guest.

Well then, nice to meet you guest. I am De_sterke_Vlam. By the way, did you try the Volcanic Orange at ChiChi Bay yet? Nobody has tried it ever since I did.

_{Thanatos is my owner, I guess you can say. I have no idea what in the world has happened to her in just one year. She's all....colorful. But, eh, she's better off like that. *You could hear him mumble* Now she just needs to remember my name..}

_{Azi is alright. She is always worshiping this large stone that landed near her. She even acts like barely anyone exists until you talk to her! I honestly find it all creepy, but hey, whatever gets you through life, y'know?}

_{Oh no...Don't get me started with Pixins. She's some kind of Native American spirit who lost her mind or something. I can't stand even looking at her without wanting to run for my life. Whatever you do, do NOT bump into her. Run..Run far away..}

_{Prai and I go a long way. He's the only Neopet left that Thanatos owns ever since I came around. I used to really hate him, but now we're like best friends. He is also very entertaining at his circus. When you get a chance, stop by at the Haunted Woods and look for him. Tell him Vlam sent ya.}

Friends

Nothing but the clothes on my body...Heh....*He sighed*

Love

The only love for me would be Linda, if she was still here with me..
Because of her passing, I can no longer even look at a heart or watch couples walk by.. I'll just wish she was here...I need her back...

My Past

-invalid_words-

I was born during a time of separation, tribes, and opposition. A time where you couldn't even look at someone outside of the group, because that wasn't permitted in your grounds.

My clan was called The Fire Paw. Nothing more than Lupes spreading forest fires around the world. We were a pretty aggressive pack.

We did nothing more than train, set forests on fire, and avoid our opposing side, the Ice Claw. Sounds pretty similar, don't it?

The only difference with that clan from ours is that they were friendly Lupes with ice powers. They wanted peace, they got to choose when winter came... And they put our fires out every time. But that didn't stop me from one thing.

What, melting them?

No... There was this one female I loved..

Her name was Linda. She was this beautiful white Lupe with angelic wings and a warm smile. We first met between the border between our territories. I saved her from one of my pack members before they could defeat her. And then it went from there. We met secretly so nobody would know we were together.

Apparently, that only lasted a year..

On the day of our anniversary, both of the clans decided to have a big war against eachother. Fireballs flew from one side, snowballs flew from the other. It was a scary sight. Linda and I avoided the fight by hiding in a cave. From there, we watched the fight continue.
A few hours later, a member from either side came tumbling nearby the cave. My fellow brother noticed Linda nearby and went after her instead, the other brute following right behind to stop him. I protected Linda by fighting them both, trying my best to get them away from the cave.

Was the fight serious?

Yeah...A piece of my ear was bitten off, they injured my eyes *He points to the marks over his eyes*, and somehow I got numbers to appear on my tails. Nobody really knows how they appeared...

Eventually the ice brute knocked me over unconscious....

Once I woke up, there were many of my brothers in the cave, biting and clawing at Linda. But once I shoved them away, I was too late..
I'll never forget, how she touched my arm and whispered...
I'll still be with you...
I felt my entire arm freeze up as she passed. That was the last I've seen of her...

Months passed and the battle eventually ended. Both sides were gone. I'm the only one I know that is left from either side.

My rage and sadness overwhelmed me to the point where I just kept setting everything on fire. I wanted it all to never happen -- I wanted Linda back.

After years of rage, I found myself walking through a strange area. Tall stone buildings with bright lights stood over me, cars were driving by 60 mph, and humans were looking down at me. It was strange and overwhelming.

Is that why you are dressed like that?

Yep. It cost me an arm and a leg, I guess you can say.

This strange man asked me for two of my tails in order to get the clothes I have on. I don't know what made me, but I agreed, and then he took the tails he wanted. It's why I have these two little stubs.

But I guess you can say from there, I began to blend in...However, nobody really accepts what I am. They are all afraid of me like I'm some evil monster. I'm used to it though..Veeerrry used to it..

Companion

Name: Ember
Species: Snoogy
Strength: Stealing food, breathing fire
Weakness: Random screeching, wanders off a lot.

Ember was given to me by Thanatos. He really is a handful, but at some points he can be very helpful. I guess it's a win-lose kind of thing.
