Ive been so freaking busy!!! but here it is Please leave a comment if you like it and forgive my horrible grammar.

Note: This is a universe were there are humanoid animals that are more like humans but have animal ears and tails and the heightened senses that the animal would normally have. Also you can Find drawings of most of the characters in my gallery

Last time-

I head toward my house depressed about being discovered but content with the food. by the time i reach my house it was past midnight
‘that took way too long’ I sigh as I push the door out of the way and flop down on the pillows in the corner of my room 
“ugh…. I can't believe I let myself get caught, in broad daylight none the less”
i toss off my coat and shake my tail off when i hear the sound of metal hitting the floor
“the heck” I turn around and scan the floor until I found the source of the noise. It was a silver ring with a ruby on it and the faint symbol of a hand in the center there also was a small note capsule attached It read as such

‘ Dear Shaun,

Should  you follow my instructions you will receive wealth beyond your wildest dreams.

Where this ring at all times and go to the Cquold Forest, March 15, 1758

I know this is a year in Advance, but it gives you time to get there.

See you then,

Guilty Thorn’



“Guilty Thorn…. I feel like I should know this person….”
I put on the ring, changed into my trench coat and headed to the docks

The boards of the old dock creaked beneath me as I walked toward the rotting Finx ship as I approached there was a guard in front of the plank connecting the dock to ship

“I would like to have an audience with the snake of the sky” I say as I hike up my coat

“What’s the password?” the man replies in a dark and husky voice

“ Trigate” I reply as a plank slides forward at my feet. I step aboard and walk past the guard heading below deck. I knock twice on the rusted Iron door at the end of the hall.
“Who is it?” a voice speaks from the other side
“It's me you stupid reptile” I scoff
“Shaun? Come in!”  I walk into the dim lit room with foreign rugs and paintings depicting different times and places decorating the walls and floors
“ You rarely come to visit me any more” a little kid dressed in a purple and black kimono rushes at me jumping on me
“Whoa you sure have grown up” I grab the kid out of the air and spin him around before setting him down “  Sorry I have been busy but I am here on business Fitz”
“ Awe I knew you would never visit me just for old times sake” he pouts and extends his arm towards a snake on the floor letting it crawl and rest on his shoulders before sitting down on a chair at the desk and gesturing for me to have a seat.
“ What is it that you need?” He asks, now with a serious look on his face.
“What dose this mean” I place the note and the ring on the desk
He picks up the ring and turns it over in his hand before setting it down and picking up the note which he proceeds to read over the note“ It's quite odd…”
“I know it's odd but who is this, I could have sworn that I have heard his name before”
“ I don't doubt that you have” he gets up, going to the mini library on the left hand side of the room.
“What do you mean?” I follow him to a very old bookshelf with the books looking at least twice the age of the ship, which is at least 200 years old
“ Where is it?” He scans over the books before beckoning me over
“ Well…” I ask impatiently
“Pick me up so I can reach the book”
“Ugh” I pick him up and he grabs a book from the top shelf. I set him and the book down and follow him back to his desk. He sits down and flips through the book producing a cloud of dust
“ Oui Fitz can't you do that without the cloud of dust!” I growl at him who causes the snake around his neck to crawl down and his at me
“Aha here it is” he exclaims and looks up at me growling at the snake
“Bogavich! Stop being a pest” he says picking up the snake and scolding him before putting him back on his shoulder
“Anyhow back to business Guilty Thorn is a sword”
“A sword? How does a sword send a letter let alone a ring?”
“I wasn't done” he clears his throat “ The one who wields the sword is also addressed as guilty thorn and the last known person to wield the sword was…” he blows some more dust off the old paper “ ...Lyman Snowden The king of the Xibalba empire”
“Great where is he”
“ Dead”
“ Cross that off the list any others wield it”
“ Sorry I currently can't tell you anymore about Lyman i'll ask around  but I can tell you about the ring it's from the Xibalba Empire and was generally worn by the king's inner circle”
“ Ok so I go to this ‘Xibalba Empire’ and talk to the current king”
“ That would be a good idea go ahead but you won't be talking to anyone as the story goes the kingdom and the forest surrounding it  was taken over by madness and now no one can find it anymore even though we know where it should be it's become nothing more than a myth.”
