Myzura

Ichirin held my hand tightly as we ventured through the Canyon. The canyon walls shot high into the sky like skyscrapers, covered in rocky black shadows. The dry air followed us like stalkers of the night searching for prey. It was an uneasy feeling filling the pit of my stomache as I clenched Ichirin's hand harder. I knew he felt my uneasiness, yet I dare not show it. I felt the cool air on my back with the setting of the desert sun and a chill was set up my spine. We weren't alone. I looked around. The shadows rose, covering the wall like a thin blanket, entrapping the canyon in total darkness.

"Ichi...I think something is...following us..." I said, somewhat frightened, though i did not show it.

"I think you are right..." he said, strongly. He seemed so aware. I would've started thinking about all the things i love about him, but, at that moment, rocks began to fall from above us. We looked up and saw a large dark shadow with red eyes staring hungrily down at us
