This time it was Rheias who had the nightmare; it had started off like a normal dream, but Rheias had the Kama with him. He was uneasy as he wandered around a plain, no matter how far he walked the scenery never changed. He stood looking around when there was a flash of white. “What was that?” As he looked towards the source he saw it, a stampede of white demons headed straight for him. “No... no...” He quickly turned and ran, but they kept gaining on him until the plain just stopped. Rheias turned around and watched the demons advanced, suddenly tripping and forming a giant demon. “Oh crap...” Rheias was terrified, his heart pounding as the demon got up.
Odin nipped Rheias’ ear, waking him up rather quickly. “Rheias wake up damn it...” He was holding Rheias close to him.
Rheias woke up he could barely breathe and his face was soaked from tears. “That... was... terrifying...” He clung to Odin and continued to cry, he rarely had nightmares, especially one’s that shook him so fiercely.
“Its okay... It was just a dream... I’m here with you...” Odin licked Rheias’ face, smoothing the tear soaked fur. “Stop crying... It’s okay, I’m here...”
Rheias sniffed, ”thanks Odin... I’ll try to forget about it...” Rheias could try to forget but it was not going to be easy. He slowly stopped crying, letting Odin groom his face. When Odin was finished Rheias tried getting up, but Odin kept him down.
“Where do you think you’re going? It’s still the middle of the night... You need to relax at least if you can’t sleep...” He laid back down pulling Rheias to him.
Rheias allowed himself to pulled to Odin, he grabbed him as well and snuggled closer. He was not ready to sleep, in fear of the nightmare returning and haunting his sleep. “I didn’t realize it was still early... Sorry for being a baby about it...” He licked Odin’s muzzle, then hid his face in Odin’s chest.
Odin was surprised by Rheias’ lick,”...uh... well...” Odin took a moment to think, “look, it’s okay... you were there when I woke up from my nightmares so I’m gonna be here for you...” Odin lifted Rheias’ head out of his chest, and licked his muzzle back.
Rheias crawled up even to Odin, he laid on his right side and set his left leg across Odin’s legs. “Thanks Odin... It’s just weird to have someone here even though we’ve stayed together for a few nights now...” He reached across Odin’s chest and rested on his shoulder, resting his head on Odin’s shoulder.
Odin wrapped his arm around Rheias’ shoulder and grabbed the small of Rheias’ back. “Just returning the favor, I’m here for you Rheias, remember that... You have my back and I have yours...” He rested his head on Rheias’ head and closed his eyes.
Rheias nuzzled Odin before he shut his eyes and tried to get some sleep. He rolled a little on top of Odin producing a purring like noise while he exhaled. He felt Odin fall asleep, after awhile he too fell asleep.
Odin jumped, falling off of the bed, as he awoke to someone pounding on the door. He quickly got dressed as Rheias woke up. Odin opened the door, expecting one of Rheias’ sisters, he was shocked to see a golden polecat with emerald eyes and a metallic gold mask.
“Who the heck are you?” The polecat was irritated before, but his attitude got worse. “Where’s Rheias?” His voice was grating, like sandpaper, the more he talked getting more and more irritated.
Rheias hurried to the door, “sorry Kexin, this is Odin...” He replaced Odin’s spot as Odin went to get the Katana. “What’s wrong?”
“Well besides you sleeping with him... Rægis wants you to go check the forest out, he mentioned you had problem at the river so I’m coming to help... Coresthia needs wood to carve some new furniture as well...” Kexin was still annoyed but he spoke a lot nicer to Rheias than Odin.
Rheias strapped the Kama to his pants and motioned for Odin to follow. “Okay, is there a problem at the forest?”
Kexin lead the way out, “trees have been knocked over and dragged away... What ever it is, it’s big...” Kexin had an axe attached to his back, he felt more prepared than the Rheias and Odin.
Odin’s ear twitched, they were expected to fell a beast that was knocking down trees and pulling them away. “This isn’t going to end well... we’ll be outmatched...”
Kexin laughed, “that’s why I am here... I’m the best fighter here... it won’t be a problem...”
Rheias pulled Odin over to him, “don’t worry, he’s cocky but he’s really good...” They left the village and headed west over the plain.
Odin followed but at some point he took a wrong turn and fell off a cliff, into the lake, “Gah! Found the Lake!”
Rheias followed the sound of Odin’s voice but was careful to not fall over the cliff, “way to go... Swim over to the beach... I’ll meet you over,” the ground under Rheias crumbled, “Ah!” he ended up belly flopping.
Odin swam over to Rheias and dragged him to the beach. Upon getting on the beach he started to undress, but seeing as he was thoroughly soaked he ended up naked. Odin laid his clothes out on a log as the sun came out, he went over to Rheias to wake him up, “come on wake up...”
“Ugh... Ah! Why are you naked?!” Rheias jumped to his feet immediately almost passing out, “ow, my head...”
Odin walked over to Rheias to support him, “our clothes need to dry off... it’ll be faster off of you...” He walked Rheias over to the log and took of his vest.
Rheias slapped Odin’s hand as he went to take his pants off, “I can undress myself thank you...” He took off his pants and laid them out with the rest of the clothes.
“Underwear too,” Odin raised his eyebrows as he looked at Rheias, “come on, the faster they dry, the faster we can head back...”
“I swear you just want to see me naked...” Rheias turned away and took of his underwear. When he turned back he didn’t see Odin.
“Was that so hard? Lets go wash the rest of this blood off...” Odin talked and was right behind Rheias, ”...Let’s get into the water before your thing unsheathes itself...”
A deep chill ran through Rheias, he froze rigid in terror. Odin got annoyed and picked him up and carried him across his shoulders to the water, setting him down and started scrubbing Rheias’ back. “GAH!” Rheias eventually realized what was happening again and freaked. “I can wash myself thank you...”
Odin got close to Rheias, “...grow up, there’s nothing to be afraid of...” Odin push Rheias over, “I don’t want to go back to the village reeking of Kexin’s flesh...”
Rheias sat up in the water, “...I guess your right...” Rheias started to scrubbed the blood that had dried until it lifted out of his fur.
After they were both clean they headed up to the log where their clothes were. “See it wasn’t that bad...” Odin sat next to Rheias and put his arm around Rheias’ shoulders, “never thought you were that shy... hell, at night you’re all cuddly...”
“Well there’s a difference... mainly the layers of clothes between my butt and your junk...” Rheias looked away and down.”
Odin pulled him close and licked Rheias’ face, “what’s that supposed to mean?” He nuzzled Rheias, trying to get him to relax.
“Well,” Rheias was shaken, tears slowly forming and falling. “Around this time last year Kexin and I were sent out to collect wood for Coresthia...” Rheias paused as he cleared his eyes, “and well it was a hot day so I took off my vest, and he...” Rheias stopped and sobbed.
“Oh... that... happened...” Odin stood up and carried the sobbing Rheias to the grass and they laid down in the sun. “It’s okay Rheias... I won’t do anything like that...” he pulled Rheias up to him so Rheias was crying into his chest.
After awhile Rheias composed himself and relaxed, resting his head on Odin’s stomach, “sorry Odin...” He slowly got up, helping Odin to his feet, then hugging Odin.
Odin was surprised by the hug, “let’s get dressed and head back to the village... people need to hear what happened...” They headed back to the log to get their clothes and got dressed, then headed for the village.
Odin nipped Rheias’ ear, waking him up rather quickly. “Rheias wake up damn it...” He was holding Rheias close to him.
Rheias woke up he could barely breathe and his face was soaked from tears. “That... was... terrifying...” He clung to Odin and continued to cry, he rarely had nightmares, especially one’s that shook him so fiercely.

Rheias pulled Odin over to him, “don’t worry, he’s cocky but he’s really good...” They left the village and headed west over the plain.
Odin’s fur prickled and stood up as the wind blew towards them, “this isn’t good... some thing’s wrong...”
Kexin just shrugged off Odin’s worry, he was ready for battle and he wasn’t going to let anything stop him. “Almost there,” as the reached the forest they saw the cause of the destruction, “what the heck are those?”
Odin gulped, "they look like really muscular humans... although I've never seen a red one... at least not one that wasn't bleeding..." One turned around, "okay, definitely not human... humans don't have tusks... or horns..."
The monsters turned towards them, rushing and yelling, one tossed a tree at them.
Odin grabbed Rheias and Kexin, rolled out of the way but right in front of one of the monster's path.
"ONI SMASH!!" The monster lifted the club it was carrying.
Kexin quickly grabbed his axe and swung it into the Oni's chest, getting it stuck and not stopping it.
The Oni continued his attack, hitting Kexin on the head, sending shock waves through his body. Kexin's body shook, every molecule screaming, until he exploded covering Rheias and Odin with blood and entrails.
Odin saw his chance while the oni laughed about how easy it was. He quickly unsheathed the Katana and sliced off the oni's knees then split it open along the spine. "RHEIAS, GET UP!"
Rheias hurried to his feet, he thought he heard a click, and looked for the other Oni. He saw it rushing Odin, "Odin Watch Out!" As he ran towards Odin a bolt of lightning struck the oni, stopping it in its tracks. Rheias was surprised but he had no time to stop, he jumped and slashed with the Kama, actually damaging it. This surprised Rheias and he shredded the oni to bits, “how did that work?” Rheias looked at the Kama in his hands.
Odin shook, trying to get the chunks of the Oni and Kexin out of his fur. “Please tell me there’s somewhere I can wash my fur...” Some of Kexin’s blood was drying in his fur and getting crusty.
Rheias realized Odin was asking a question, “well uh... in the forest there’s Tisitee Lake that we could dip in... lets go check...” Rheias led the way through the forest being careful about his movements.Odin followed but at some point he took a wrong turn and fell off a cliff, into the lake, “Gah! Found the Lake!”
Rheias followed the sound of Odin’s voice but was careful to not fall over the cliff, “way to go... Swim over to the beach... I’ll meet you over,” the ground under Rheias crumbled, “Ah!” he ended up belly flopping.
Odin swam over to Rheias and dragged him to the beach. Upon getting on the beach he started to undress, but seeing as he was thoroughly soaked he ended up naked. Odin laid his clothes out on a log as the sun came out, he went over to Rheias to wake him up, “come on wake up...”
