As the night finally passed, Geo and Tanshi continued to talk about the legends about her. Tanshi had realized she was supposedly the scariest creature to the city, so rumors were spread to stay away from the cave. Geo explained that he was dared to enter the cave by some of his highschool friends. “Well at least now I understand you mean no harm Human.” Tanshi said smiling. “You remind me of an old friend.” She said sighing. Geo looked into her dark purple eyes. They were filled with sudden sorrow and pain. “I...I want to help you, Tanshi.” He said quietly. “Wait what?” She said as she looked at him suddenly. “I want to help you” He said, louder this time. Tanshi sighed as she looked into his eyes. “How determined are you to save me?” She asked sincerely. “Very. You need my help to break the chains. Even then you’ll still need me to fix everything.” He replied. “What can you do? You’re just a human after all. We’d be going into my realm and that’s dangerous enough!” she said looking at him with a worried expression. Geo thought for a moment. As the silence seeped into Tanshi’s head, she decided to break it. “Alright then” She said beginning to rise from the mossy floor of the cave. Geo looked at her. “Wait what?” He said looking at her, surprised. “Well you wanna help, so let's break the chains.” She replied. “Any chain cutters on you?” She said looking at him, scanning for any cutters. “No but I-” She cut him off with her paw. “Place your hand on my head and you may be able to make one wish.” She said quietly. So he did as she said and he placed his hand on her head. Suddenly the cutters appeared on the ground and he grabbed them. “Now because these chains are quite thick we must work together.” She said gesturing toward the chains around her neck and paws. They began to work for days and nights as Tanshi bit at the chains with her sharp teeth. Geo worked relentlessly to cut through them. On the third day, Geo collapsed onto the floor. Tanshi immediately stopped. “What’s wrong? We’re almost through!” Geo sighed and looked a her. “It’s useless…” He said quietly. Tanshi’s face filled with sadness. She stood up and began to strain against the chains. Suddenly they broke and she was flung into the wall of the cave. “Whoa! Tanshi are you ok?” Geo jumped up and ran over to her. She stood up and shaked around. As she looked at her now free paws and neck, she began to laugh. “I’m more than ok! I feel awesome!” She yelled in excitement. She began to flex her wings around and she ran in a circle. “Thank you Geo!” She said as she nudged him with her nose. “Well, we have work to do kid. Hop on” She continued as she lowered herself so Geo could climb on. “Ok. wait what work to we have to do?” He said as he climbed onto her back. “Well we have to go to my realm.” She replied as she smiled at him.
