Spike was walking along in the middle of the forest, his four giant legs hitting onto the ground and making a loud thumping noise. It had been a while since Vico had let him go away by himself seeing as what had happened last time, he had almost killed himself, by running into a trap. His blue body, glistening in the rays of sun that where shining through the canopy and reaching his body.
 
Eden was walking in the forest alone not something that she did all the time but she did it when she really needed time to think. Walking to a pretty clearing Eden took a seat on a rock and looked up and the sky through the trees wondering what she was going to do about her classes next term.
 
Spike turned his head quickly, he heard the snap of a small twig, he was one of the protectors of the forest and he was here to wipe out any attackers. He turned around and cantered over towards the person trying not to scare them to much. " Why are you in the forest?" He asked croakily. It was just the way his voice was and he couldn't help it, he sounded like a muggle who smoked a pipe all day for his whole life.
 
Eden jumped up when she heard a voice turning around she saw him. Reaching for her wand, Eden stoped she knew at times like this a wand could made something go from bad to worse in second. Taking a deep breath and reaching for the K of the Koshiba that was always around her neck Eden spoke. "I was walking in the forest to try and clear my head. "
 
Spike was relieved that she wasn't like some of the other children that went to the school, they would come out here and knock down the tree's and attack the centaurs. " Im sorry if I seem like I am on edge, it is just my duty to protect the forest." He said his voice croaking as he done so. He dropped his head into a bow. " It is a pleasure to meet you, human girl. I am Spike the forest defender."
 
He was speaking to Eden kindly something she would not expect from such a proud looking creature. Noticing him bow Eden did the same unsure of what else to do. "I'am Eden Koshiba from the school. "It is a a honnor to meet such a brave soul. I have come to this forest many times to climb the trees and think about things and to get away from the school." Eden looked him over he was a bit taller than her and had way more muscles.
 
Spike watched as she looked him over and he looked her over, she was short, young and pretty for a human girl. " The honor is mine, I have met someone who loves the forest almost as much as my people. We have lived here since the dawn of time, we defend it until the end." He said as reached his hand behind him and scratched his back, it was getting rather itchy and he couldn't stand how itchy it sometimes got.
 
Eden could feel him looking her over it made her feel a bit out of place but than again she was only 13 everything made her feel out of place at the moment. "I would give my life to save this forest or any forest because without them than there is really nothing to live for. Well expect for the night sky" Eden watched as Spike went to scratch his back. Eden reached out her hand as if she would go to him and helped and than stopped herself because she knew that to offer help would mean that she saw him as below her and that was not the case.
 
Spike noticed her extend her hand and withdraw it quickly, he couldn't help but laugh. " You know it is only the noble centaurs that think they are above everyone else, you have to be over fifty to become one, so if you want to scratch my back you can." He said with a smile. His yellow eyes looking straight at her. " I actually don't mind being patted, or ridden."
 
Eden smiled and tried her hardest not to laugh. "I was thought to treat all centaurs with respect. To never ask for forgivness and to never get to close but if you do not mind I would like to pet you. You look so soft."Eden gasped and brought her hand to her mouth how could she say such a thing?
 
" Not many people have been able to get close enough to our people. The noble centaurs protect the younger ones and there usually the ones to interact with humans." Spike said as he looked at her with his soft yellow eyes, he could head a bird chirping somewhere behind him. " If you want to pet me, then you can."
 
Eden nodded her head and walked forword. Stoping right in front of him Eden reached out her hand and ran it down his back. Gasping at how soft he was Eden laughed. "Your softer than my kitten how do you do that living in the forest?" Eden questioned as she continued to run her hand down his back.
 
The feeling of her fingers on his back, was magnificent, it had been a while since someone had patted him, it was back when he was a little baby, by Vico. Vico brought him up to be a forager, he knew all the fruits and berries to pick and which ones where poisonous. His back leg twitched a little bit, because of the nerves that ran down. " I don't know, I think us Centaurs where just born lucky I guess, or maybe it is the rich foods we eat."
 
Eden noticed that his back leg was starting to twitch having been around other creatures with back legs Eden knew that they could kick and she could get hurt. Taking a step to the side so that if he did not kick her Eden smiled at his reaction to getting petted. "Yes I do believe that Centaurs are lucky you guys can look into the heavens and read it while I human look up there and guess at things and hope I'm right. You know I love Astronomy so much if you ever wish to give me your thoughts on it you would find a willing listener." Eden continued to pet Spike due to the fact it seemed like he was really liking it and needed it.
 
" Well there is a lot to know about the stars, Not even I know know everything about them. I will tell you about the stars, but maybe some other time, when im not enjoying this as much." Spike said as he tilted his head back, it was the best feeling he had ever had. " I know something you would want to do, every human wants to. Climb on." He said lowering his back so she could simply jump onto his back.
 
"That would be lovely whatever you would want to tell me I would love to hear." Eden smiled as Spike tilted his head back. When he lowered his back so she could climb on Eden bit her lip. "I dont know Spike I dont want you getting into trouble with the others are you sure that it is ok?" Eden whispered as she looked around.
 
" I'm more then sure it is ok, If they get angry at me I could say you hurt yourself or something." Spike said as he waited for her to hop on, it would be fun and he knew he wouldn't be getting in trouble for this, seeing as most of the others tend to do it as well. Maybe if he made it to being fifty and he done it he would get killed but now, it was all safe. " well you better pay attention in the next three days, the planets are going to be in a line."
 
"Really in the next three days awesome." Climbing up on Spike, Eden sat up stright and placed her ands on his shoulders gently grasping. "Wow this is so cool I have never done anything like this." Looking around Eden took in a deep breath she was in for one wild ride.
 
" Where would you like to go?" He asked as he stood up to his full height. He just hoped that where ever they where going she could hang on without pulling on his mane to much, it really does hurt when you do that. The young Centaur looked around the forest, knowing exactly where he was, and where every single little thing that was in this Forest.
 
"I dont know anywhere you would like to go I guess I tend not to go to far into the forest so I dont know much." Moving her hands a little it more down on his shoulders so that she would not pull on his mane and hurt him Eden sat up strighter waiting for him to move.
 
Spike took off towards the Cave that he had once spent a whole week in after he had been attacked, by the group of muggles who made it into the forest. He had managed to finish them off, but it was a difficult thing for him to do. " There is a cave up here, but it is over that stream, hang on." He called as he began to gallop, he headed straight for the stream and jumped over it landing into a gallop on the other side.
 
Spike was moving fast and it felt way better than flying to Eden. "A stream wait your going to jump over it?" Eden yelled holding on to Spike as gently as she could Eden felt like she was flying in the air as he jumped over the stream and landed. "O my goodness that was so epic." Was all Eden said as he made it over safely.
 
Spike began to slow down as he neared the Cave mouth ducking his head slightly, his head would most definitely hit, but Eden's wouldn't, so she was safe. " Have you ever seen anything as beautiful as this?" He said more then asked as he pointed out to the pond in the middle of the cave, which was like a fluorescent blue color.
 
Looking around the cave in took in a deep sigh of happiness. "No I have seen things that were beautiful but nothing ever this beautiful its like something out of a fairy tale."
 
" I have seen a few of the students from your school here, but they are never damaging anything, which is good, because this is classed as holy grounds to us Centaurs." Spike said as he laid down again so that Eden could climb off his back and have a little walk around.
