My Life As A Salamander 26 House United

The smell went deeper into the forest. Past that cats boundary. Past the areas I knew best. I started to leave claw Mark's so I knew which way to come if I needed to find my way back. As I proceeded I felt something in my mind. { HELP ME!} I immediately booked it forward. I found her at the base of a small cliff surrounded by wolves with silver pelts. She was a little ragged with a cut on her cheek and a twig in her hair.

( Still clumsy as ever.) I went over to the top of the cliff down wind of the wolves. The wolves didn't notice. They were focused on their prize. That was their mistake. I landed in the middle of their pack a flurry of whipping tail, flashing claws, and flame. Before they could even comprehend what was happening 3/4 of them were dealt with while the last 1/4 ran away. I turned to her and she sat there trembling as I came close. I laid down in front of her and put my head on her lap. "Huff" I puffed out a little smoke.

She was stunned. She didn't move. I thought for a second and tried what I thought could work. ( Samantha.... Why are you here.) I thought as openly as possible. Her head cringed a little after I thought that. " Get out of my head. HE'S DEAD..." I looked at her... ( Dead? I'm right here) She looked at me in her lap and then I rolled onto my side away from her so my horns didnt dig into her. And showed my belly.

" Why are you so friendly to a human like me?" She reached out and patted lightly. I quickly reached up with my six legs and pulled her into a hug while I rolled onto my back. "Eek!" She stiffened. After a while she softened. This is something I would often do when I played with Sam. I felt a hand on my lower jaw. " You.... are Ignis aren't you" I nodded my head enthusiastically. Her eyes teared up and she started balling.

" They told me you were dead! They told me they got rid of you to save me! Waaaaaaaaah!"

I laid there cradling her gently while she cried.

After some time I rolled and got her slowly put on my back for the ride back to the hollow. I went slow so she wouldn't fall off. When we got back I widened the doorway and excavated more of the floor so she could fit easily. Unfortunately I didnt have blankets or a bed to offer so I gave her the softest pile of leaves I could manage.

She woke up not long later with me by the door and her on a bed of leaves. She stood hunched over and walked over to me. The look on her face showed consideration but also focus. " Let's get you home." My head reared and my eyes lit up at the mention of home. Back to the mansion with its decadence and majesty. Away from all these creatures constantly trying to take my head.... Why not?!?!?!

I went out the hole first and she followed not long after. I looked up stared. She stood there for a while wondering what I was staring at before she noticed the fruits. Needless to say it didnt take much convincing to get a wok full of fruits strapped to my back using vines. We started on our way home.

We came out of the forest after a good 5 hours of walking. After the first 3 I got Sam on my back to relax her feet a bit. I was used to this. We got out and came across a stone paved road. I looked left then right. " Go left. That's the fastest way back." I turned left and started running. " Ignis! The road is b.u.mpy we'll lose the fruit!" I opened my wings and flapped taking us into the air. She held onto the vines and squealed. I went higher and higher till the lands below were pretty small. I kept flying for a while. Sam talked most of the way back. She talked about how Gerald joined the Royal Army and Bryant was going to The Royal Academy of magic. While she had been stuck at home. After I was taken she was forced through rigorous training. Enough to make her tougher than most people.

The only thing that was left out was whether I was going to be welcomed back. I continued flying for a while. The clouds felt nice as we pa.s.sed through them. The sun kept us warm against the cold winds in the atmosphere. After some time We finally saw the mansion. I lessened our alt.i.tude till we could see it clearly. Its green courtyards and white stone wall. I slowly descended outside the mansions. Guards suddenly rushed the gates with piles at the ready after seeing me.

" Halt! Who goes there!?" One shouted. Samantha came out from behind me

" Tell father I'm home and open the d.a.m.ned gate you buffoons. And this is my familiar. let him through."

The guards laughed to each other.

"Milady. Your jokes are good. Your familiar is dead. We saw it ourselves."

I breathed flames forward and melted the gates because the guards weren't moving fast enough. " Yelp!!!!!" I heard one of the guards exclaim. I stepped on the hot metal and bent it allowing Sam to enter.

" Thank you Ignis. " She smiled and patted me on the head. I followed her with the guards shaking with fear by the wall.
