The following creatures shown below, until stated otherwise, were adopted from ThunderRider19.

 This is Pyrozentic, also known as Pyro. He is a Mystic Wolf, being the Fire one.

I stalked through the many tunnels of the dormant volcano I lived in, my flaming paws scorching the already blackened ground more. I was feared by the other wolves and animals that lived around here, the flame marking on my forehead proving my status as a mystic wolf.
Around here, mystic wolves were both respected, feared and worshiped. Many humans came to this place, determined to defeat me and become stronger than a mystic wolf. Those humans were very foolish, thinking they could win against me, the mystic wolf of flames. They all died quickly, burning to death. I'd never had any remorse towards any of those humans; after all, they were simply worthless beings that disrespected me and all other mystic wolves. For a wolf, disrespecting a mystic was considered a crime against nature, and whoever had done so was to be sentenced with death.
I sighed slightly, my almost angel-like wings waving lightly. I'd never grieved for a human, not until now. A human had tried to defeat me earlier that day- while I was used to this, it had still been very odd. That human hadn't been like the bulky, bearded figures always attack me. It'd been a lot smaller and far less bulky, and had long fur on it's head rather than the short, uncomfortable looking fur that the others had. No human with an appearance like that had ever attacked me. It'd had what looked like a medium-sized circular thing around it's waist that had no closing at the bottom, long black things covering it's legs, a pitch black thing covering it's arms, chest and stomach, and bright scarlet hair with golden streaks. 
I'd easily won, per usual, but this time I felt oddly bad about it. Like that human had been important somehow. I hissed to myself, shaking my head sharply. This was not right! I shouldn't be upset over a mere human. And yet, the feeling of remorse remained, driving me to return to the dead human and return its body to where it had come from, for the other humans to mourn over its wounds. I finally gave into the horrid feeling, turning around, and flying back through the tunnels as I re-traced my path back to the dead, or dying, human.
I landed beside the human, frowning down at it. It was hardly half my size, and was surprisingly still breathing. I lowered my head and sniffed it's neck warily, eyeing it's face uneasily. I pressed my nose to its cheek, narrowing my eyes in confusion. If it was still alive, why wouldn't it wake up? I hadn't set fire to this human like I did to all the rest, I'd simply left countless, deep claw marks scattered over it's body. I pulled backwards, growling defensively immediately, when the human opened it's startlingly bright green eyes, and glanced up at me. I very much expected it to scream, attempt to run, or try and attack me again.
Confusingly, the human merely remained in place, watching me, before coughing out the word, "Hello." I stared at the human, baffled. What? Was this human no longer afraid of me? Did it not understand what I could do to it, how much pain I could inflict upon it? I narrowed my eyes, telepathically snarling, 'You are very lucky I had not killed you, small human. If you explain to me your intent, I will return to where you came from.' The human stared at me for a few seconds and finally said, "Hello. You must be the Mystic." I frowned, confused. Of course I was the mystic here; it should have known that when I attacked it!
I looked down, sharply yanked from my thoughts, as the human spoke again, smiling very slightly now. "So you are a Mystic. I apologize for attacking you." The human stared up at me, unblinking, clearly awaiting a response. 'Why are you apologizing, small human? I did far greater damage to you than you could have ever done to me.' The human smiled again, though it didn't answer my question. "I.. would like to be friends with you, Mystic wolf." The human coughed slightly, flinching from the wounds. 
I tilted my head to one side, vaguely interested in this human. Really? A human willing to befriend a mystic wolf who attacked and nearly killed them? It was bizarre on so many levels. 'I would be okay with that,' I said slowly, my telepathy beginning to become louder in the human's mind as I leaned down closer to it. 'You may have the honor of being a friend of a Mystic wolf. However, I'd appreciate a true name rather than simply being called Mystic.' 
The human nodded, slowly beginning to pull itself up into a sitting position. "How about Pyro...zentic?" It asked, staring up at me. 'Hmm. Odd.. but interesting... Very well. I am Pyrozentic then.' I declared. The human smiled, hesitantly reaching over at stroking my left ear softly. I calmly nodded in acceptance of the human, and stood up. I stepped over to it carefully, leaning down and licked the small human's forehead. 'You may stay with me until you are fit to leave. Until then, you will be accepted by all the other creatures living here, small human.'

 This is Electrineziac, also known as Neziac. He is a Mystic Wolf, being the Electric one.

I grinned wickedly, launching myself across a gap in the mountain I lived upon. The mountain was larged, the tip of the mountain hidden in the clouds, it was so high up. I spread open my wings on the next jump, letting out a loud howl as I did.
Not many creatures lived here- only two dragons that I knew lived here and a clawful of wolves that usually stayed hidden around the area. I stopped flying, landing gracefully near the middle of the mountain, and sat down on a ledge, watching the quiet mountain. I considered flying further through the island to hang around with the two dragons I knew, before deciding against it. They were both nocturnal anyway, so they'd be asleep right now - it was the middle of the day.
I pawed boredly at a nearby pebble, swiping my paw at it and watching it soar down the mountain. I smirked slightly, sending a quick wave of electricity after the pebble, making it look like a glowing yellow star. I snickered slightly to myself before I heard frantic paw steps behind me. I turned and scowled at the wolf approaching me. I knew who she was, no doubt- she was known as Sacred. She thought highly of Mystic wolves, which included me, although I was basically at the top of her mind considering I was a rare Mystic wolf.
I nodded slightly, telepathically speaking to her. 'Sacred. What do you want?' Sacred made a low, barking/growling noise; normal wolves like her lacked the telepathic abilities us Mystics had. 'Another Mystic?!' I practically roared, jumping to my feet and shoving my face into hers, my lips pulled back in the beginnings of a snarl. 'Where is this Mystic?! Take me to him- now!' Sacred nodded frantically, letting out a high-pitched yelp of momentary terror as she spun around and took off towards where this other Mystic was.
I flew after Sacred, staying just above her, my forelegs and the tips of my wings crackling erratically with electricity. I kept my pale silver eyes fixed on Sacred, my eyes narrowing furiously. Of course, that fool would anger me by so recklessly saying there was another Mystic on this mountain- on MY mountain. I quickly hovered in place as Sacred slowed to a stop, panting at the long run, and looked up towards me, gesturing towards the Mystic winged fire wolf on the edge of the mountain, a human standing beside him.
I silently flew to and stood next to Sacred, who quickly took a few steps away from me to avoid getting shocked by the thousands of sparks flying from my legs and wings. I glared at her, scowling. 'Go find the other wolves here. If it becomes far too dire for me to handle- which it won't- I'll need you and the others as back-up, Sacred,' I growled telepathically. Sacred nodded, but before she could run off again, I leaned down and licked her forehead lightly. 'Stay safe, Sacred.' Sacred nodded, licking my muzzle, and sped off to find the other wolves. I flew towards the other Mystic and the human once I was sure Sacred was far enough away to be safe from this possibly threatening Mystic.
The fire Mystic's head snapped up sharply and he snarled the second he saw me, forcing the human behind him and stretching his wings to protect it. I frowned slightly. Why would a Mystic protect a human? I shrugged it off quickly, snarling back at him. 'Fire Mystic. What are you doing on my mountain? Return to your volcano at once!' I shouted telepathically, lowering my upper body to the ground, prepared to jump at the fire Mystic if I needed to.
He growled back at me. 'You have no control over where I go.' He replied coolly, scowling. I spat furiously at him. 'THIS IS MY MOUNTAIN! LEAVE AT ONCE!' I screeched, furious now. I lunged at the fire Mystic, quickly knocking him backwards while to human behind him quickly darted to the side to avoid getting hit. I scored my claws twice down the fire Mystic's muzzle while he lashed his flaming paw at me, the long claws barely missing my chest. I whipped my head around, kicking the other Mystic away, as I stalked towards the human. Having a Mystic here was bad enough, but a human? They had to be killed, no exceptions.
I started to jump at the human, who made an almost wolf-like shrieking noise, only to be knocked back by the fire Mystic, who had darted in front of the human and struck me backwards with his left wing. 'What are you doing?! Why are you protecting a mere human?!' I shrieked furiously, forcing myself back to my paws. The fire Mystic's eyes blazed in rage, but he somehow remained calm as he slowly hissed, 'Do not lay a claw on this small human, or I swear to the Mystic heavens, I will tear you apart, limb by limb, and then leave you to bleed to an agonizingly painful death.' I shuddered slightly at the deadly threat.
When a Mystic made a threat, they always followed through. I knew from doing this myself; I'd nearly killed Sacred when she doubted my threats and went against me. 'Why are you protecting this human?' I hissed again, trying to force myself to calm down. The fire Mystic telepathically hissed back, 'this small human is mine. It is a.. odd human. This small human is a friend of mine. Dare hurt it, and you'll regret it for all eternity.' 
I stared in surprise. I'd never heard of a Mystic befriending a human. I slowly padded closer, my eyes narrowing in curiosity. The fire Mystic snarled, about to lunge at me before I raised a paw and lowered my head and wings as a sign of submission and the fire Mystic froze immediately, glaring down at me. I walked closer, slipping quickly around the fire Mystic and poked my nose against the human's shoulder. The human, who I guessed was very weak since it almost fell when I did that, squeaked indignantly and darted to the fire Mystic's other side, away from me, trying to hide itself under his wing. The fire Mystic smiled lightly at the human, licking it's cheek gently.
I frowned, stalking over to the human again and shoved my face into its own face. The human made another shrieking noise, clutching at the fire Mystic's wing frantically. The fire Mystic growled slightly at me. 'Cool off, Pyromaniac,' I growled telepathically. 'I just want to take a look at it.' The fire Mystic looked skeptical before he reluctantly nudged the human's side softly, nudging it towards me. I frowned at, staring at its eyes in surprise. Its eyes were the brightest color green I'd ever seen, with hints of blue in the pupil.
I tilted my head at the human, confused. For a human, it was very odd- I'd never seen one that looked like it, let alone one that was special enough to receive the great honor of befriending a Mystic wolf. 'Who are you?' I demanded, frowning at the human. The human stared, still clinging to the fire Mystic, who had gone back to licking it's cheek. It looked up at the fire Mystic, confused, before looking back at me. I frowned. 'Do you lack a name?' I asked, puzzled. The human looked more confused before she pointed at the fire Mystic.
"What about him?' I growled gruffly, giving him a death glare. He returned my glare. The human blinked again, and then pointed at the fire Mystic again, shaking his shoulder slightly as it looked up at him, eyes wide. 'Fine, does that Mystic have a name?' I asked, changing to question. The human nodded quickly, before speaking. "He is Pyrozentic." I nodded slightly. 'Okay then. What is your name?" The human shook its head. 'It lacks a name,' Pyrozentic explained. 'So I simply call it "small human".' I glared at him. 'That isn't even a proper name. Give it a name!' I snapped, frowning.
He glared at me before pushing the human's shoulder with his nose. 'Small human, I will call you Scarlet.' He grunted, pressing his nose to the side of Scarlet's neck.
I watched them intently. The other Mystic hadn't once tried to attack the human- he'd just been nudging the human and licking its face. The human turned towards me, sharply running forwards and burying its face into my fluffy chest. I stumbled backwards in shock, growling immediately. The human turned its head and rubbed the side of its head against my chest, like the fire Mystic had done to the human. 'What are you doing now?! Get off of me! Have you completely lost your tiny mind?!' I howled, frantically trying to force the human off of me.
"If you be friends with me and Pyrozentic, I'll stop." I froze, staring at the human. Me? Friends with a human and another Mystic? That was odd on so many levels. But.. maybe for now, odd was for the best. I slowly nodded. The human smiled, "Your name'll be Electrineziac then." I nodded hesitantly again.
'Very well. But I will not leave with you and Pyrozentic. I must remain here,' I explained. The human nodded slightly, looking a bit crestfallen. '...You and Pyrozentic may visit whenever you desire.' I added, pushing the human over to Pyrozentic, who quickly nuzzled his forehead against her chin. The human smiled at me over its shoulder, climbing up onto Pyrozentic's back. Pyrozentic stared at me for a moment before dipping his head in respect.
I returned the gesture and Pyrozentic quickly the flew off, the human holding onto it's back. I stared silently for a few moments. I nodded slightly again, turned and flew off to find Sacred.

 This is Cyr, a Mystic Wyvern. He is the Fire one of the Mystic Wyverns.

I stalked almost silently through the forest, the still air broken only by the crackling flames on my spikes. I was backed up with fifteen other Wyverns- granted, they weren't a Mystic Wyvern like me, but they were strong and could definitely bring down an entire forest by themselves. I turned around slightly, my eerie red eyes narrowing, when one of the Wyverns- Divine- spoke up, her alarmingly bright blue eyes flashing. 'Why are we doing this? There is no reason to attack a human's village- you don't even know if the one who killed off the Wyverns are even going to be there." Divine was the only Wyvern who wasn't a Mystic who had telepathy, a power I'd given to her.
I snarled, drawing myself up to full height as I glared down at her. 'That doesn't matter. Humans are worthless beings, so why should any of us even care about what will happen to them?' Divine frowned at me, but didn't argue any farther. I spun away from her, lashing the end of my tail at her and nearly catching her left wing on the blades. I beat my wings twice as I took to the air- not that high up, still hidden by the trees. 'Now hurry up and follow me, all of you," I growled, speeding off through the trees. The Wyverns quickly headed after me, while Divine merely stood still were she was, before she turned and stalked off in the direction we'd come from. I hissed furiously, smoke lashing from my snout now. 'Continue on until you find the human village. When you find it, no mercy is to be shown for those pathetic beings.' I turned around and flew as fast as possible back towards Divine- if she wanted to be annoying, fine. If she wanted to leave and turn against me, then she could die for all I cared.
I caught up to her easily- Mystic Wyverns were known for their incredibly fast flying- and landed in front of her. Divine just stopped and scowled, trying to step around me. I stretched out both my wings to the furthest point, blocking any means of escape for her. She started to open her own wings, and I quickly lashed my claws at her, pinning her down easily. It was a well known fact among Wyverns that Divine was the weakest- she'd been assigned solely to watching over Mystics, and had never gotten battle training, like a normal Wyvern, because of that. I leaned down dangerously close to her face, my red eyes glittering in fury. 'Tell me- what did you think you were doing, turning away from me?' I hissed telepathically, lashing my bladed tail behind me. Divine scowled, not even trying to get away from. 'What you were doing was wrong, Cyr, and I refuse to go along with it.'
I glared down at her for several moments more before I reluctantly released my hold on her. Divine pushed one wing down, propping herself up uneasily as she scowled at me. As defiant as she was trying to be, I could easily see it in her eyes that she was petrified of me. I leaned towards here again, pressing the side of my snout against Divine's before I turned away, growling over my shoulder, 'Never cross me again, Divine. If you do, there is very little chance you will receive sympathy from me again.' I flew off before she got a chance to respond, headed towards where I'd left the other Wyverns. I glanced back warily Divine, who was quickly darting back down the path we'd come from.
I, very quickly, made it the human village, where the Wyverns already were. I was about to fly down and join them when something caught my eye. I turned my head upwards in confusing to see a red shape flying away from the village quickly. It definitely wasn't a Wyvern since it was far too small to be one. I narrowed my eyes a bit and flew after the creature. 
By now, I was close enough to identify the figure as the Mystic fire wolf, myself being the Mystic fire Wyvern. I sped up slightly. Mystics were actually friends with each other, but only with those of the same element. 'Mystic wolf!' I roared sharply, catching the other Mystic's attention easily. He turned, confused, and took one look at me and frantically took off flying as fast as his wings would allow him.
I frowned, puzzled, but shrugged it off anyways- he probably thought I was a normal Wyvern about to attack him. I turned and started flying towards the village when Divine popped back into my mind. I hovered in the air, frowning- attack a human village, or make sure Divine was safe?
I internally sighed as I flew towards where I'd seen Divine last. It wasn't hard to find her, since her sheer white scales stood out against the brown and green forest floor. I lunged down quickly, landing beside her. Divine jumped slightly, stumbling away from me in surprise before she hunched her wings down, scowling. 'What now?' Divine hissed, frowning. 'What, I'm not allowed to see if one of my Wyverns is safe?' I spat, annoyed, pressing my muzzle against her neck. Divine blinked. 'Oh.' She muttered, lowering her head uneasily. 'Sorry then.' I nodded slightly, draping one wing over her back. 'Well? Where are we going now?' I demanded, pulling myself up to full height. 'You're coming with me now? What about the other Wyverns?'
I scowled. 'Those Wyverns can take care of themselves- you can't. You need me.' I growled, rubbing my forehead against her cheek. Divine nodded quickly, intertwining her tail with me. 'Umm.. So, I wanted to go to this volcano that's close to our-- uhm, your land...' Divine replied, quickly correcting herself before she could say 'our land'. I glanced down at her, my head tilting to the side very slightly before I said, 'You're right. It's not mine land- it's ours. It's my land as much as it is yours, and it's only ours.' The tiniest of smiles flicked across my face as I licked her forehead. 'Never forget that, Divine.'

This is Azutien, a griffon. He was a coward and a traitor, having left his griffon tribe during a battle. He has since been killed for such sins.

I sprinted as fast as I possibly could from the mass of fighting griffons. I knew I looked like a coward, fleeing from battle without even looking to see if my fellow griffons were okay. I ran even faster when I heard an ear-splitting shriek from a dying griffon, the gash on my stomach bleeding even more. I didn't care about that, though. All I cared about right now was running- running as far as I could from the fighting, from the dying griffons, from my friends and from everything I'd ever known.
Once I was certain I was far enough from the fighting, I slowly stumbled to a stop and slumped over, light-headed from blood loss. I longed to fly away, to get out of here and go somewhere else, but both my wings were damaged from an opposing griffon biting down on them and trying to pull them out of joint. I scowled slightly, rubbing my silver-tipped, dark grey beak with my very dark, yet pale blue talons. 
I slowly pushed myself to my feet, my back paws feeling shaky and unsteady. I still didn't care, though. And I wouldn't care, not until I was finally taking my last, dying breaths. I pushed myself forwards, my deep blue eyes narrowed to slits. I was sure I was completely in the safe when I heard something. Specifically, wing beats. Griffon wing beats.
I spun around, confused, only to have talons slam into my neck and me backwards. I roared furiously, lashing at the griffon in panic. Two of the other seven griffons quickly pinned my talons down, however, preventing me from doing anything. "Azutien... You sick traitor," the griffon above me roared, her side heavily bleeding, and half of her tail torn off entirely. I glared defiantly up at her. At the leader of the tribe of griffons I came from. "I'm not a traitor," I spluttered, coughing, as she tightened her grip on my neck. "I did what I had to do to live, Ryiu!"
Ryiu screeched furiously, the remaining portion of her tail lashing violently as she stabbed her other talons in my chest. "YOU BETRAYED ME AND THE REST OF THE GRIFFONS- YOU LEFT US TO DIE, YOU COWARD!" I flinched as she roared in my face, her talons clutching my neck in a death grip now- tight enough that I could barely breath. I stared up at her silently as her words settled in. A coward. I truly was a coward, wasn't I?
I frowned to myself. No. No. I wasn't a coward, I refused to be. I screeched as loud as I could, kicking my hind paws into Ryiu's stomach, knocking the griffon backwards. The two other griffons holding my talons down frantically darted over to her, worry evident in their eyes. Infuriated, I lunged at Ryiu, who barely had time to look up at the incoming attack, before a flash of silver passed in front of me. I frowned slightly, confused, as my claws stabbed into a different griffon's neck. I stared at the griffon, confused, before I recognized her. Purity. My mate; the only one who'd never thought I was a coward.
I frantically yanked my talons back and Purity, no longer held up by anything, fell immediately, her once bright green eyes dull, blank and sightless. Ryiu had returned to her senses at this point and, taking a single look at Purity's dead body, roared in front and flew at me at an amazing speed, smashing her talons in my neck, pressing my lower body down with her powerful hind legs. "YOU.. YOU.. HOW DARE YOU?!" She screeched at the top of her lungs. She tightened her grip on my neck, quickly cutting off any air. She dug her claws into my stomach, and suddenly released my neck, only to have her stab her own talons through my neck. Just like I did to purity. She snarled in triumph at the blazing pain in my eyes. "Hurts when it happens you, doesn't it, coward?" She spat, her eyes alight with fury. She twisted her claws slightly, and I froze slightly in surprise, choking up blood.
Ryiu grinned wickedly, a cruel gleam in her eye as she pulled her talons from my neck and released her claws from my stomach. I collapsed onto my side almost immediately, blood quickly pooling around my neck, chest and head. "I hope you bleed yourself out in a painful death," Ryiu snarled as she took to the skies, followed quickly by the other griffons, leaving me to bleed to death as I stared mournfully at Purity's dead figure.
