Valguero's guardian, chapter two:

In the morning, after several days of walking and searching, they continued walking. "So... you're a shapeshifter?" The human boy said. "Yes. What of it?" Aderyn said. "Nothing... I've just never met one before." The boy said. Aderyn scoffed. "Because your kind killed most of us off." She said. "I'm sorry." He said, yet again. "Stop apologizing. There's nothing you can do about it." Aderyn said. "Okay." The boy sighed. After a long time of walking later, they humans tired. One of the girls sighed, bored. The youngest girl appeared to be falling asleep. The boy picked her up and put her on his shoulders, continuing to walk. At least some humans care for each other... Aderyn thought. "Uh... wolf... girl? Whatever your name is?" The boy said. "It's Aderyn... and what." She said. "Since you're a shapeshifter... and stuff... can't you just turn into a big creature and carry us? Like a wyvern... or a griffin... or something?" He asked. "I said I'd help you find the way out of here. Not carry you there. No." She growled. "Fine..." The boy sighed.

"Not that it matters... but what are your names?" Aderyn asked. "I'm Kade, and these are my sisters, Ailsa and Quinn." The boy said. Aderyn huffed, acknowledging Kade.

LATER...

"Here's a good spot to rest for tonight." Aderyn said. Kade started a fire, while Ailsa and Quinn had already fallen asleep.

Aderyn leaned against the cave wall, and Kade sat next to her, his arms crossed.

"So... why are you down here?" He asked.

"I... I'm the guardian of this place. I've been here my whole life. Which... is seventeen years." Aderyn said. "I'm seventeen too." Kade said. "Hm." Aderyn grunted. "What did you mean when you said I was the chosen one?" He asked. "Well... once in every guardian's lifetime... there's a human that is destined to befriend them." She replied. "And how do you know that's me?" Kade asked. Aderyn gustured to his bracelet with her paw. "Your bracelet. That's always been the sign of the chosen one." She said. "Do you... think we could be friends?" He asked quietly. "Perhaps..." She replied thoughtfully. "We aren't so different, you know." Kade said. "How so?" Aderyn asked. "Your family's dead, my parents are dead. The humans are trying to kill me, their trying to kill you too. The humans took over my home, their trying to take over yours too." He replied. "At least you aren't alone..." Aderyn said. "You don't have to be." Kade said, blushing slightly. "Just... go to sleep." Aderyn said.
