~~~Prelude~~~
It was like floating on a dream, the rhythmic sound of paws hitting soft earth, dun-dun dun- dun, dun-dun dun-dun. one-two three-four, one-two three-four. The gentle nip of the cool fall air nipping at exposed noses, chilling uncovered fingers tightly gripping around the worn leather reins. A small group of riders were making their way through a valley of mixed orange and reds from the changing leaves, towards a large looming mountain, it's side gaping wide as if it was yawning for all eternity. Among the riders a young girl was gripping tightly to her father's fur clothing so she wasn't tossed off. Her unique bright green eyes gazing up with excitement as they rode faster up the side of the mountain, her fur hood falling back as she tilted her head up oddly coloured pink hair tumbling out from beneath the fabric to look at the ceiling that was now sheltering them from sister sun's rays.Smaller dug out caverns lined the walls of the yawning mountain's side, some were homes, and trading stalls, others cages for the creatures they rode. With the aid of her father she dismounted the large beast, with a careful hand she began to pet its shoulder as praise it for it's hard work. The beast turned its head carefully it's muzzle nuzzled against her gently in thanks as it breathed heavily from the long ride.
These creature would shock anyone who had not grownup with them their entire lives, at first glance they looked as though they were the long extinct sabertooth tigers but at the same time a wolf. Their bodies were muscular and broad shouldered from millenniums of working for the humans that had first tamed them but were still agile to navigate the ragged mountain paths. The front paws equipped with long razor sharp claws for swiping and climbing, their back paws wide with short thick nails made for power and running. The tail was the most curious thing, it was long and slender like that of a feline but had the long fur along the under side. Even more curious were their manes that were long and surrounded their heads and began to triangle back stretching as far as between the shoulder blades and lower back, the fur was short and spiked and were always slightly lighter or darker then their body colour. Their pelts varied widely in colour representing which element the beast was partial to, earth, wind, fire, water and had their own unique birth marks. Their eyes varied in colour, from a calm and gentle yellow to a piercing and frightening red, and had their own unique roar. But the most unique was that of no colour. White. Only one beast in their tribe was white, it lay locked behind bars made of Mythril and Titanium.
The girl smiled warmly to her father before she skipped off to visit her favorite beast. 'the forbidden one', he was called by the tribe. No one dare go near him unless to feed or give him water. The petite girl was careful as she walked up to the metal bars of the cage and peered into the darkened cave that was his prison, the beast's ear flicked in her direction before he lifted his large head. The beasts usually only grew to the size of a grizzly bear, but this one was two times the size of a large male bear, when on all fours his shoulders easily reached fourteen to fifteen feet high. The beast looked at her as if carefully inspecting her, his eyes were an icy blue, they were hard and cold like the colour. His pure white fur was caked with mud and blood from feeding and the rains when water seeped into the cave, the birth markings covered and hidden with filth.
Smiling warmly to the beast the girl waved at him, her voice was gentle and loving. "Good day white one, I have returned from the fall harvest." She spoke softly to the beast. The creature stood slowly and padded to the bars his large body flexing and straining as he moves in the small confines of the rock walls, carefully he laid near the bars his ears flicking slightly as he looked to her his muzzle inches from the cool metal. The girl giggled as she reached into her fur travel cloak and produced a small bushel of black coloured berries, they were circular with spikes all over them, carefully she reached her arm into the cage and presented the berries to the beast. " These were the ones you wanted right?" She enquired looking for approval for her task. The beast sniffed the berries before opening its muzzle and carefully taking the bushel of the juicy berries. He stood and wandered into the darkness before returning from the back of the crevice with a small doll in his maw. The girl smiled and bounced in delight as she carefully took the doll offered by the creature in the cage. "Oh thank you for this gift White One," she cheered happily. The beast merely huffed and laid down barely looking at the small child as smiled and carefully hugged her new toy. The doll was made of furs and some sort of stitching, it was stuffed with something soft but she didn't know what. "I should go before Pa finds me he-" her words were cut off by a rough and angry voice that could only be her father. "Sakura! Young lady what have I told you about this beast!" A man thundered, donned in leather and a chieftain's head dress, the large man walked over and picked her up easily in one arm, a nasty looking spiked club in his other hand.
The white beast snarled loudly as he backed away from the intruder, his sabers bared angrily his mane what wasn't matted down raised as the armed man neared his cage. " This beast will hurt you if you are too close, Sakura why do you disobey my words? When you become a rider you will pick a young beast for yourself. This beast is old and dangerous, he will kill you if he gets the chance. No one has ever ridden him, and those who try end up maimed or dead!" The girl’s father shouted as he banging his mace loudly on the bars. "Get back to the darkness whence you came beast!" He yelled out to snarling beast. Sakura whimpered at the rough treatment her father gave the bars. "Pa, Pa listen! I was only greeting him. He would worry if I didn't!" She attempted to explain trying to reason with the man. Her father merely laughed as he carried her towards their warm and cozy cave. Sakura looked over her father's shoulder at the white beast and mouthed 'I'm sorry' to him as she was carried away.
The beast watched the young girl be carried off before turning and going back to his crudely made bed of soft dirt and long since dried grass. Carefully he picked up the berries the girl brought him eating them slowly and carefully being sure to spit out any seeds he came across. "Soon young Sakura, soon you will become a rider, " The beast’s voice was deep almost growling as he spoke his blue eyes glowing dimly in the darkness as sister sun went to sleep and brother moon woke. "Soon she will become far greater than any before her." He growled to the darkness before carefully resting his head down allowing sleep wash over his mind.
