Chapter 05
"HEY! FURS!" The bus driver woudl be at the back of the bus, " We're at your stop." He'd grumble walking back to the drivers seat.
"Man... what's got his shorts in a twist?" Lumen would yawn as Eon woudl strech a little as he'd grab his bag, making sure his lioncloth was on securly, "C'mon hun... let's get going before he gets even more pissed off."
"Alright. Let's go." Eon and Lumen would stand with the other people and few furs that where getting off at this stop. Giving one last look to the driver and the two would get off, a strange black stallion behind them. Lumen would take Eon's paw and start to walk. Keeping an eye on the stallion whom was just standing still as the two walked off toward the glaciers.
"Can I take this thing off yet Eon? It's starting to bug my-"
"Yeah go ahead I think I'll do the same." Eon woudl cut Lumen of and the black wolf would give a grateful sigh. And they'd both take off their loincloths, now bare once more. The cool breaze blowing their fur the two would walk on the snow covered ground. Lumen would keep look out for hunters, but the whole trip tot he glaciers was quiet. Looking over the water of the frozen land Eon would walk to the edge of the glacier, seeing tourists point at him, he'd be quick. Grabbing the little box that was made of plastic, that has endured 17 years of who knows what. The fusky woudl rush over to his mate's side and together the tow of them would flee into the forest. Lumen would set up a lean-to for a night's shelter since night was falling from the drive over. Eon woudl set up a small fire so he could read his parent's letter.
Dear Eon,
If you're reading this then you are deffinantly trying to find us. and your father and I are proud. If you watch your steps, you'll find us. Know what to need to doo is go back by plane, to Las Vegas. Owr last clue will be hiding in plane sight. Good Luck hun.
Mom
P.S. your father didn't want me to help you out too much but since he's not looking the final clue will be at the top of the most popular casino. In the last room.
Eon would smile as he'd slip the note into his backpack. Lumen would have a paw on Eon's shoulder, but when he knew Eon was finished he'd pull the Fusky into a hu. Eon woudl murr softly and slowly get out of the hug, "C'mon, we need to get some clothes for the plane ride to Los Vegas."
Lumen would be reading the letter over Eon's shoulder, "Um... she gave us two extra clues..." Lumen woudl point out and chuckle, Eon would just sigh and facepaw.
"Oh hush, and plus we know where to go... so... how do you do in planes?" Eon would look up to the black wolf.
Lumen would shrug, "All I know is that if I don't slip in a human metal contraption I'll freak out and want out after... ten minutes."
"Right... I guess we'll have to travel by land huh?" Eon would look to Lumen and turn to head out. suddenly the bark on the tree next to Eon exploded. bark flew everywhere as a BANG would follow a few seconds later. Lumen would have his ears back as he'd grab the Fusky's paw and would lead the way, weaving between the trees as another tree's bark exploded, "Lumen put me down I can run! Plus I'm weighing you down!"
"But..... Gah fine! But I'm not stopping you better be ready.... 1...2...3!" Lumen your drop eon and Eon would have a split second to land on his feet and get running. He did land but stumbled. Off balance He'd struggle to keep up until he recovered. The explosions of the sniper would distance and draw near. clearly trying to confuse the furs or trying to keep up. Before the two would know it the snow would be splatered with red. Eon would be pushed forward like he was hit in the shoulder. Hard. the world, all of time seemed to slow down as Eon woudl fall, all feeling in his right arm has left him and intence pain would take it's place. Lumen would skid ing the snow and run back to his mate's side trying to help him But Eon would shake his head as tears would fill his eyes.
"You got to get out of here... th-there's got to be more then one hunter... and I'm sure they've got canines with them... Get to Las Vegas and wait for me I won't be far behind... But I'm gunna try and get to a hospitle..." Eon woudl shakily stand his arm hanging limp.
"But.. I can't leave you... what if they find you?" Lumen would hold Eon's good paw tight.
"Then they won't cattch you...Please Run if not just wait for me in the next town... PLEASE." Lumen woudl hesitate before running off south. Eon woudl whimper as he'd watch the black wolf dissapear into the frosty forest but he'd walk off the main patch a little, the hunter's crys and the canine's barks becomming clearer. Blood would trickle into the snow and Eon would collapse next to a tree.
"Hey! I think we got one!"
"It's bleeding pretty badly, wonder where you hit it john."
"Doesn't matter one is still going... Should we bother?"
"No just find the wounded one."
"Should we send the dogs?"
"Yes. The wounded one won't be hard to find."
"But Shadowmere-"
"Send gramps, You hear me gramps? find the wounded one and prove if you should retire or not." A soft pained yelp would be heard then nothing as the older male husky would make his way into the woods. sniffing the air following the path of iron in the air rather then the dellewding path in the snow. Eventually the old canine woudl find Eon holding his arm and cowering against the tree.
"There you are feral... Know.. what are you...? You smell like..." The elder husky would sniff getting closer to Eon and he'd blink. Sort of double take, "Wh-who are you? You smell like a fox.. but-"
"I'm Eon... Eon Kokoro Snowpaw... why do you ask gramps? Huh? want to knwo my name before you take me to my death?" Eon would growl a little before wincing and whimpering form his arm.
The Elder would shake his head, "Who are your parents?"
"Skylar and Mariah... Why?" Eon just glare at the older fur before giving a surprised yelp as the elder woudl hug him, "Wh-what the hell?!"
"I... have a grandson... I.. can't believe it... I thought I'd never live to see the day..." He'd notice Eon's utterly confused look before nodding, "Skylar is my Son, and that's the sent that is familiar about you... but I guess he fell for a fox and had you... heh doesn't surprise me."
"Grand-... But.. if you go back.. they'll kill you won't they?!" Eon would look to the husky now noticing similarites he had with the elder, the color and the eyes.
"True.. but if it means you live one I'll be fine. Now my name is Simply, Excalibur. heh don't know what my parents where expecting from me but that's it."
Eon woudl just look to his grandfather and taking his paw in his own good paw, "C-comeon, you're comming with me to the next town to first get my arm check out... then to find your son and my parents..." Eon owuld start walking and Excalibur would follow silently, he didn't argue, infact the mention of him seeing his son seemed to make him want to follow.
