Rikki felt like he was on top of the world. He was dinning of a whole turkey that he stole from a nearby restaurant. Rikki was a Corithen shape shifter and he was a sleek red fox. Rikki spent the rest of the day sleeping waiting for night to hunt some more. Rikki then crept out of his den and out into the sewer system. He was thin from missed meals had rusty red fur and his pure white fur was black with soot. Rikki trotted down the pipe and found an open man hole. Climbing the stairs and popping out the manhole Rikki glanced around the street using his night adapted fox eyes to scan for shifter hunters that caught and killed to sifters and for traffic. When the cost was clear Rikki slunk to the shadows and stuck up his head and took a deep SNIFF. Rikki could smell smog, and exhaust from the thousands of cars he smelled the hint of sweet sent form someone’s window flower box. Then he snapped out of his trance and ran down and turned right at the intersection. Rikki half sneered to himself. He would get two meals in one day, quit the acomplesment for a shifter on the street. He then neared the hot dog stand and crouched low to the ground blending in with his surrounding shadows. The standspeson was giving hot dogs to some teen age kids. Rikki almost snarled at them. They had easy lives and did not have to steal just to live. those humans think themselves to be kings! Rikki turned his attention to the stand and the open oven door with a string of juicy warm hot dogs. Rikki started to salvatate at the tempting smell wafting in the air. The stands person turned his attention to his mini T.V. and left the oven door open to cool it down. Rikki saw his chance and leapt from the shadows into the broad daylight and grabbed a string of hot dogs. “HEY!” yelped the man as he leapt up but Rikki was to fast for him. Rikki was all ready careening down the ally and into the next street with his prized hot dogs. “BAM BAM” Rikki dropped the hot dogs in surprise as men in black came after him. “uh oh, Shifter hunters!” yelled Rikki as he put on a burst of speed and was forced to abandon the delicious hot dogs. Now he ran for his life. Rikki felt a burning pain in his ear as a bullet tore through it taking a piece of soft ear cartilage with it. Rikki stumbled and rolled into a wall as he heard a “RROOAARR!“ and sceareams of horror and panic. He gazed up ward and saw a blue shape fly over. I sence a canidate around here but I can't see any poeple! The dragon said in frustration. "Don't worry, Ariprth we will find him one way are another." said Aripth's rider, J'ro.
Back on the street Rikki lay for a long time. He heard voices and quickly changed back into a humanoid. He had red fox ears, a tail and golden eyes. His hair was jet black and he wore a black T-shirt and black pants. Rikki put on a old baseball cap from the trash and hide his tail in his pants and he looked like a scurffy kid.
I see him! Arpth pointed to Rikki as he flew back over.
I told you that canidate were here, Baries found three here. All were shapeshifters and lived on the streets The blue dragon informed his rider, J'ro. J'ro smiled at the boy as they descend down near Rikki. J'ro saw some people turn and run at the sight of Aripth. "They should know that dragons would not hurt people unless to protect their riders." J'ro thought. He walked over to the boy. Rikki turned around so fast his hat fell off showing his fox ears in broad daylight. J'ro was surprised. "Your a shapeshifter! They are they only ones with animal parts on Corith." Rikki just gaped. Then put a hand to his ear and felt blood from the hunters. "You are going to be a good candidate, says my Aripth." Continues J'ro. Rikki's vision was blurring and he almost fainted right on top of J'ro. "You should have said you were hurt!" The dragon rider excpamed as he tore off his sleave to use as a bandaid. He loaded Rikki on Aripth and they took off to Ryslen going between. They landed at the weyr were Rikki turned into his vulpine form. Rikki was fourteen years old and for the first time he thought “Well maybe not all humans are bad.” Rikki got up and wondered around. Sniffing here and there. He turned back to humanoid and walked out to meet the other canidates looking foreward to a new life.
