48 GREEN-CATS

"This... this is our home." Syphen declared as he stood before a lake in the jungle. The waters rippled and spun chaotically.

"This is a waterfall." Hassan said as he stood beside him. Even in human form, he towered over Syphen. His sand colored robes were stained with berry juices and vampire ash from the mornings battle.

"Waterfall…. simple name." Syphen mumbled to himself.

"These people need protection not death by water." Hassan said.

"Protection is behind the water." Syphen pointed at the waterfall.

"What?"

Syphen took off, running along the outer edge of the lake in a low lying feline blur.

The village natives hooted and inched closer to the lake to get a better view of Syphen.

He approached the waterfall from the side where pillars of stone and jungle trees erected from the earth rose up three hundred feet high. A hill of sorts flanked the lake, partially hidden by the roaring mist waves spawned by the waterfall.
