[perhaps #3]

Shifting back and forth waking up to the blur of sounds. 

“Ehh..” A suddenly slam of a what looked like to be a paw hitting across his face woke him up quickly.

'Hello..' gripping his face, rolling onto his stomach and quickly standing up, before stumbling for a moment focusing his eyes. Looking around a towns center, his clothing was torn and burned rubbing his head slightly seeing a few females held onto some sort of weaponry he couldn’t make out just yet.

 “Eh.."

'Thanks for the wake up call..' shaking his head before feeling a sharp blade tip placed against his back. Freezing him for a moment, before standing up straight turning his head slightly to see what or who had the blade to him. A shorter female fox as her fur was a dark brick red, with what he could tell a white chest, and tip of the tail, black paws the gripped a hold of the handle of the sword tightly.

 It was her swords blade against his back closing his eyes for a moment, “Always the hard way of things."

"Isn‘t it." 

"Be nice I‘m not going to harm anyone. Just woke up don’t even know where I am” 

“Shut up." The females voice agitated filled with hate, and confusion as to what he was,  

"slave. get on your knee’s” with the last comment she kicked the back of his legs making him jolt forward.

 “Ow.."

"Great."

'Must have done some damage here' a few more kicks to the back of his legs 

“I said silence..”

Grumbling  “Miss if you don‘t stop I‘ll have to hurt you."

"Which neit-” a sharp pain against his head as the handle of two swords were smacked against his head. 

“Silence!” falling forward, rubbing his head mumbling to himself jumping back up and whipping around taking the swords in one hand. Striking the ones behind him with his feet into the stomach, and sides of their bodies until the grip on the swords grew weak pulling them from their paws. 

Placed his feet onto their shoulders pushing them to the ground. “And I said stop it! Or you're gonna get hurt..” Looking around him like the whole town or village was up in arms, even the small children. 

Flipping the swords to their handles and thrusts each one of the blades into the ground, “I don't want this."

"I give you all a warning now."

'I will have to hurt each one of you until you get out of my way.'

"Let me leave, I mean you all no harm" taking a deep breath turning around to look at each one. 

'Alright.' 

'Hard way out.'

'That’s fine.'

"But I don‘t have time for this..” he mumbled to himself the swords making a small triangle around him in the ground. Letting his fingertips touch against the handles of the swords, slowly making a circle inside of the triangle. His arms out stretched, keeping at least two of the swords in arms reach. The fox, and the two others standing back up growling at [main]. 

[main] grumbling, 'Great.' 

'Pissed off towns people.'

'Why can’t I find a village with fluffy bunnies and cuddly kitties?' grumbling to himself still circling slowly taking slow breaths.

Stopping in his tracks looking up in the air, seeing the sky was changing colors. 'That's not good.' Swirls of clouds began forming in different spots above and around the village. Glancing around at everyone else as it seemed to not bother them. 

'Okay.'

'Normal here.'

"Is that normal here?” Gesturing upwards to the sky. Sudden as the clouds appeared balls of fire began raining down upon the village and forest. Making the villagers scatter around in a panic gathering around the well, only to find that it was dry. Grabbing anything they could to put out the flames engulfing their homes. 

Panting lightly, seeing everyone was scattering his way into the woods.

 'Oh thank god.'

'That was about the scariest thing, I‘ve seen so far.' The screams and cries echoing around him, as he stood upon a rock turning around to the village in flames. 

“Oh.'

 'Come on.'

'Get out of there.'

 'People.' 

'Come on.' taking a deep breath, 

'Oh I hate myself..'

'No you don‘t..'

 'Ya I know.' panting, in a full on sprint making his way back to the village. Arriving only to find that the villagers were still scattering around trying to save what they had. 

Passing by the fox that held a blade to his back, and others jumping into the well tumbling around only to fall on his back. 'Ooo.'

'Oo.'

'Ya.'

'Not smart.' looking around while on his back, seeing a bucket attached to a rope connected to the pulley above the well. Taking a deep breath, rolling onto his stomach and using the wall to help himself up to his feet. 

“SLAVE! COWARD!” an angry voice came from the top of the well seeing the fox again.

 “Ya, well atleast I'm doing something! To help so get to helping!"

"Dod-on't you dare talk to me that way!"

"Then go do something helpful!"

"You are useless!"

'That’s what I hear.' looking around, before long the entrance to the well was closed as a hailing brimstone began to rain down pelting the well’s stones. 

'I gotta get water to these people.'

'Might even get killed afterwards or during.'

'Oh well might as well do it anyways.' Making his way in the cavern touching along the wall of the well feeling the wall, the smell reminded him of a pair of old socks. Taking his arm covering his nose and mouth making a small mask with his sleeve. 

'Alright come on.'

'Show me something.'

Looking around seeing nothing but black, closing his eyes before smacking his head into a pillar. walking around inside the darkness 'Ow sure right when I close my eyes for a moment.'

'Get hit by something..' the sounds of screaming, and cries continued above as pieces of debri came down some still on fire. 

'Alright come on.'

'Got to find some-' his fingertips touching along the wall feeling the wall being soaked in liquid. 

'Alright.'. 

'Water.. '

'Wait.'

"Water” Gently knocking his knuckles against the surface of the wall, as it began to move around. 

“Ooo."

"Oo.."

"Why me..” closing his eyes tightly, gripping the wall that moved pulling and tugging on it as much as he could.

 “Come on."

"Needs."

"ya."

"Wattaa!!” A loud howling scream echoed in the cavern, making him cover his ears as the wall moved around making the ceiling and walls shake. The sound of rushing water was heard coming from the other end of the creature, as it splashed around water came pouring in, quickly filling the area some water burst out of the well like a fountain showering down upon the village. 

Soaring high up into the sky the water flowed covering the sky dissolving the clouds each cloud it touched. The fire was extinguished soaking the village in water. The fox and the rest of the villagers stood there by the wells, as the water was putting out the flames from their homes and land.

 The creature making its way into the water, more deeper down into the depths of the ground. Being dragged along with the creature, gripping a hold of the surface with its paws. His body shook gripping onto the creature as it made its way through the water swiftly and with elegance. Opening up his eyes trying to look around as everything was dark, water surging past him. Passing out from holding onto the creature, and not getting to breath for a while.

*Chapter cut* 

Only to wake up laying down in the middle of a pile of sand coughing up water and gasping for air. 

'Alive?'

'Alive?'

'Alive..' laying there upon the mound of sand, looking around weakly rolling onto his stomach coughing up more water. Leaning his head down placing it in the sand, taking a few breathes. Slowly making his way up to his feet, glancing around noticing he hadn’t seen any water nearby no river, or lake. 'Ooo..'

'How did I.'

'Nope, don‘t care.'

"Just want to find everyone again..” His legs like rubber were wiggling back and forth under him. 

“I hope everyone."

"Is alright…” In his mind he thought of them laughing at the table. 

Looking up seeing that the sun was right above him, “Ah.."

 'See your still up and about.'

'Might be able to find somewhere to plop.'
