"Oh yes, sorry, my name is Firedrake." Firedrake said, "And I would like to come with you. Don't be worried about Shenkka, she just doesn't like strangers. She'll brighten up." Shenkka wanted to scowl, but she didn't. Just ignore Firedrake, she told herself. And maybe he'll shut up.
"Well, I'm leaving for a while to get something to eat." Shenkka mumbled and walked off. She wasn't really hungry, she just wanted to walk away for the moment. Shenkka strolled off, not to be seen again for maybe a few minutes.
Well, she could have done worse. Firedrake thought. Then he focused his attention to Tatsuya and Michiko. "I can imagine this place could get tiresome." He commented. "It would make days seem so repetitive."

Tatsuya nodded as Firedrake announced his name and Shenkka lurked off. He wasn't sure what her problem was, but it irritated him. His temper was going to have to be watched since Firedrake said he would accompany him anyway. Ta began to wonder if Michiko and Shenkka would come to. He flicked his right ear out of habit.
"If you wish to come I won't stop any of you," he barked, "But I must warn you... it won't be easy. I am a high altitude dog. My wolf blood ccraves the powdered peaks of mountains and the wind whipped woods at their feet."
His voice seemed to echo with his own memories of the past. His old territory came rushing back to him and his dark red eyes seemed drained of color. Ta shook it off and sighed heavily, leaning his neck backwards. An audible pop came from the vertebrae as he streached his tense and tight muscles. Tatsuya glanced at the red marking along his hind leg. The dragon headed coil wrapped around his right hind leg and brough pain to his chest as it resmebled the one his father HAD bared. Bared... until he was killed along with the rest of his old pack. Ta's facial expression darkened.

Michiko nodded. 'Well at least I can go without him probably asking me like twenty quesions why I followed him. But what is the matter with him. He seems angry or something.' Michi thought in her head as she moved her head, she saw Ta's facial expression change.
She got up, front legs were first, then the back legs followed. She walked over to him, and lokoed at him. ''Ta...Tatsuya..are you okay? Is anything wrong?" Michiko thought something was not right. She leveled her eyes to his andslowly wagged her tail in a curious manner. Wondering what was the matter withhim.

He's so polite. I'll ask Shenkka if she could just, well, not come. Firedrake thought happily. "I'll ask Shenkka if she could just stay behind or something." Then, noticing Tatsuya's expression, asked, "Is something wrong?" Firedrake hoped it wasn't something he or Michiko said.
As Shenkka approached to the ship, she heard Firedrake's greatly appreciated offer for her to stay behind. I'm sure he'll be fine. Shenkka thought. "It's okay, I was thinking of going somewhere else anyway." She said as she walked away. It was certainly better than being with strangers like that. "See you later." Shenkka said as she broke into a sprint. She needed this vacation, and smiled as she bounded away.

Tatsuya's eyes seemed glazed over, but he tossed his head a bit and looked up at them. "I'm fine... just some bad memories," He said. Any hint of his momentary shock was gone and he held himself confidently, though there was a cloud of depression around him. "Seems Shenkka will not be joining us. Well her input was well appreciated. We need to move soon, but... for the good of you two and my hips I think we'll spend the night in the ship and head off early morn'. That okay with you two?"

Michiko smiled. "It's alright for me if it's alright Firedrake. I hope your hip gets better and I hope you can clear out those bad memories." She smiled and looked at the ship. He was right, they needed rest. It was going to be a long trip. Michi then trotted to the ship. She went inside and dragged the blankets she used to sleep on. "Here are the blanket I use to sleep on. But you all can use it. I'm sure there are some more." Then she thought about her owner, the maltese, A.K.A. the rat duos, and her owner's niece. The nicest one of them all. The niece was always nice and stood up for her. And let her sleep in her room. But when she was abandoned, that changed. She continued smiling even though she was sad inside. After dropping the blanket, Michi sat down. Wagging her tail.

"I hope your hips feel better in the morning." Firedrake said with a grin. "Is there anywhere to sleep besides on a blanket?" He didn't exactly want to sleep with the crabs, or on the metal floor. He would if he had to, but it was just something he wouldn't prefer to do. I wonder what it's like up there. Firedrake thought. He had actually never been there, but he always believed the stories he heard about the area. Eh, whatever the case, I bet there's something cool there. At least, that's what he hoped.

Tatsuya follow Michiko and slinked over the sand silently. His large paw pads hushed any sounds... his wolf side came in handy with things like that. Both bright red orbs took in the boat's massive size and structure. He spied a deck some distance from the deck that rose from the ground. He wondered if he could find a way to jump up there... it would offer more peace and privacy than down below.
He decided against the idea, his swim earlier had made his muscles weak and sore. Tatsuya left the blankets where she had laid them, he wasn't up for comfort. Ta had grown up in a hateful, barren and cold place... he would rather sleep on metal then fluff oddly. Tatsuya laid down and yawned, streached his lean legs out infront of him. "Your help is much appreciated Michiko and thank you, my hips just ache when I get wet for to long. Most big breeds have the same issue. Best of rest to you two," he finished up.

Michiko nodded. Well it was their choice or not. She laid down on the blanket and looked as the sun went down and the moon rised up. She looked at the pretty stars, each twinkling on it's own. Her tail swayed on the ground, giving a small sigh. They were each so beautiful. And each star seemed to come together and make the shape of a dog,it reminded her of her mother. "Wow, the stars are so pretty. Hey,if yadon't wanna sleep on the blanket, oh well. It's your choice." Michiko continued looking at the stars. Eyes were filled with each and everystar. Some shined more than others. Then, she prepared to sleep. Curling up in a little ball, she was asleep. Lightly though, not knowing what was to come. She gave another sigh and was soon asleep abit deeper. She dreamed of her puppyhood, mother,dad, andsiblings. And her owner beforeher mean one. Michiko smiled and continued sleeping. Wishing that the dream would never end.

Firedrake lay down on the metal, even though he didn't exactly like it. Ah, this is going to be great. Think of what will happen in the morning! This really is great. The optimistic dog thought happily, then laid his head down. Yawning, he swiftly fell into a comfortable sleep, still feeling joy. Think of tomorrow...I wonder what will happen then.

Tatsuya curled into a tight ball, his heavy gray fur kept him warm even against the cold metal. His dark red eyes closed and his breathing became rythmic. Ta fell asleep. Weird thing was, he never dreamed, but this time he did. It was about his homelands and his father teaching him to fight and hunt. It was... relaxing, but saddening.
The wolf hybrid didn't even notice the tears staining his fur, he missed them all. This was the first time he had ever felt so alone. Even with the two dogs in the ship with him it felt as if the entire world had gone cold and lifeless. It had just hit him... he would never see his family, his homelands, not even the damned murderers he wanted to kill so bad. This was his life now and Tatsuya, even in his dream state, had a thought. "So this is how it is... to be a lone wolf."

Michiko continued dreaming. Her tail swayed from side to side as a part in her dream involved her siblings playing tag together, and when they chased two cats up a tree. That was the last time she had saw them before she was adopted. Life of glamour and jewels. She was happy until her owner bought the other dog. Then she was treated like crap, and worst part of all the dog always tricked her into getting in trouble. But her owner's niece had came. Things got better, until her owner abandoned her and moved away. The last goodbye was when her niece who gave her a hug. Then that was it, she smiled but growled in her sleep. Oh if only she could get that dog...

Firedrake dreamed of his pethood days. It was all just bark, play, eat, sleep. Bark, play, eat, sleep. At least, until Shenkka had come. An angry human had been chasing her away from their garden. At first, Firedrake paid no mind to the snappy Shikokou Ken. But since she was always getting yelled at by someone, Firedrake just had to get out of the now noisy neighborhood.
Of course, Firedrake had bumped into Shenkka and started to talk. Talk, talk, talk. It's always been like that. Surprisingly, the dog had actually paid attention. That had made Firedrake very happy. So, from then on, he followed Shenkka just about everywhere, except when he wandered off.
Firedrake had really nothing to regret, or hate.

Tatsuya's eyes flashed open suddenly against a streak of light. His gaze followed the flickering shadows up to a small, broken cloud in the sky. The sun was fighting its way through it in the early light. He shook his head, standing up stiffly. With a slight limp he moved towards the tip of the boat. Ta stood on the point, the railing in the way between him and the water below leaping up at him.
The salty air whipped through his heavy fur, making his shift in the uncomfortable feel of the heat. His eyes searched the far side of the water, seeing only sea and the island on the other side. With a heavy sigh he sat down and closed his eyes, relaxing in the feel of the heavy winds. The wolf hybrid felt like howling, but... it wouldn't do any good. No one would answer him back. No one could, not anymore. Tatsuya huntched his shoulders and sat there, waiting for the others to stir and wake.

Michiko smiled in her sleep until a sound startled her. She looked around, still startled abit, shaking her head.She looked around more. Maybe a storm was approaching. She got up on her haunches and looked t the other dog named Firedrakestillasleep. But where was Ta. She sniffed around until she caught his scent.
Her eyes looked at him. He didn't seem to happy. When she arrived behind him, she spoke."Tatsuya.....are you...alright, is something wrong" Her words were gentle, soft, and friendly like. Something didn't seem right. Then she sat next to him and looked at him. He seemed bigger than her, maybea few inches bigger, but oh well. She nudged him with her muzzle to get his attention.
