Jewel Fenling

Crunch crunch crunch... the only sounds are Amelli's paws padding the leaves, and the steady, eerie wind. Amelli hesitates, her green eyes shifting anxiously. She is sure she heard something in the distant opaque fog. Only the tops of the trees are partially visable, and the sky seems so far away. Small footsteps approach behind her, and she whips around, hissing. A small, terrified Langerine scampers away, as she regains her composure. The Whisper Forest is the only way to Terrace Park, unless she wants to go all the way around it. Amelli steadily puts one small purple paw in front of another, her ears twitching, waiting for some kind of sound. Then a growl erupts that from the smokey forest, engulfs Amelli in fear. She stands, frozen. As a large animal breaks away from the trees, Amelli runs, terrified of what is to come...

Voltage Sahound

Leilani hears a small rustling outside of the prison-like tree trunks. A small growl echos through, and she shivers. Someone had finally come! She jumps in happiness, her tongue pants as she breaks through the shrubbery. It was a fairly small Jewel Fenling that stood there, frozen. Leilani's face forms into a grin, but it disappears as the Fenling gallops in the opposite direction. "Hey, wait!" she cries happily, and ignores the sudden pain that forms in her paw. Leilani was a very fast runner, and soon caught up with the fearful animal. In her happiness, she jumps on the four-tailed female, pinning her to the ground. The fenling screams and squirms, trying to bite, but Leilani dodges her blows. "Settle! I'm Leilani... and I need your help."

[Amellina]

Amelli yelps in surprise. This Voltage sahound needs her help? "Who the heck are you?" she screeches. "Be quiet!" The sahound whispers urgently, "And I already told you. I'm Leilani." Amelli feels a wave of fear, that dies quickly. "You're insane. No one goes into... no, you're not insane... you're not REAL. Yeah that's it. I'm dreaming. I'm back in my cozy little tree trunk in the meadow. I'm dreaming. No one comes out of there... alive at least. Maybe a Hollow, or a Frightmare, but not a Voltage... Sahound..." she pants. Leilani cocks her head, confused.

[Amellina]

Leilani jumps off of the Jewel Fenling chuckling, "Are you sure you're not insane?" The Fenling scrambles onto her legs, and sways her tails gracefully. "Positively not. I may be insane, but you know, who cares what I am. If I am insane, I guess I could walk right into the Whisper Forest and get eaten alive, but you know maybe I'm not insane, and I wouldn't, instead I would run screaming from anywhere near the premises, and totally forget about your cry of help to me, but who cares? I know I don't." the fenling mumbles loudly. Leilani cocks her head more, her ears twitch, her paw throbs more. "Oh god, I am insane." the purple creature flops onto the ground, her head spinning. She jumps up, a worried expression crosses her face. "Why is your paw bent backward?" her eyes widen. "Well, that ties in with what I need your help with." "Are you okay? Will you live? Did you break it? How did it happen? OH GOD IT'S A MOCHA PICCHU!" she yells, seeing a small brown tail disappear behind a rock. "Ah, she's A.D.D." Leilani smiles.

[Amellina]

Amelli feels her eyes widen, and she scampers playfully to where the quaking Mocha Picchu hides. "Ah, I think it wants to be alone..." Leilani warns. Small clicking noises flow from the hiding place. Amelli jumps on top of the rock she smiles, and then hops down, only to yelp. Leilani gallops as fast as she can to where Amelli stands, a mad look glaring in her eyes. The mocha picchu had it's teeth clamped into Amelli's most left tail. Leilani couldn't help but smile, and Amelli shook her tail vigorously. The small ball of fur flew off into the distance. Amelli's face drastically changed as she looked at Leilani's paw again. "Oooooh, so what's the story, Lei?" she asks expectantly. "Well... Have you ever heard of Konan?" Leilani whispered. "OMG, who hasn't! So what's up with him?" Amelli yells, as Leilani clamps a paw over her mouth. "Shut up!" she pleads. Amelli sits back, rolls her eyes, and listens again. "You'd be surprised at who hasn't. I once encountered him, and all he did was glare at me, but I felt I should follow him. Stupidest thing I ever did. He led me to his lair, a small cave, surrounded by glowing stones. I was intrigued, and gamboled in, only to be trapped in darkness. As Konan hissed a spell, I scrambled up, trying to leave before he could cast it. I hurried toward the mouth of the cave, and made it, but tripped on a rock and fell, rolling down a hill. When I got up, this was here. The only thing is, Konan had already cast his spell on me. I am never to leave a mile past the treeline of Whisper Forest." Amelli's eyes opened imposibly wider, and her brow had creased. "So what do you need me to do? By the way, I'm Amelli."

[Amellina]

"So let me get this straight. You want me to go find you're brothers, who are supposedly a Void and Wood? So that I can bring them back here and help you defeat a Dreamsnare Yonyuu? Maybe I am insane..." Amelli yells. "Exactly." Leilani grins, the pain in her paw hurting more each second. "Please hurry. I am forever to listen to Konan. He is calling me now. Remember, they live in the Roraldi forest." Leilani runs, hearing Amelli calling after her, "That's in the opposite direction of where I'm going!" "Please hurry." Leilani calls back, feeling the tug harder. She runs into the woods, and weaves through the trees, to where she knows Konan lives. Before entering the dark cave she bows. "Master, I am here." A dark deep voice cries out, "Finally! What have you been doing, Voltage?" "Searching for your dinner, sire." she sighs, crawling into the cave. "Well, forget about that. I'm having Ryann do that for me now. What I need you to do is draw water from the spring down creek, and fill my bath with it." A metal bucket rolls from the darkness, clatterin loudly. "It will take very long with this bucket." Leilani growls. "How dare you defy me, Voltage! No dinner tonight!" he growls, swiping a paw at Leilani, that almost catches her nose. "Konan, please!" Leilani screeches, her stomach growling. Konan reers up on his back legs. "Tonight you get no dinner, and have to stay chained to the wall in front of me." Leilani cries in defeat, kissing Konan's feet, "Yes, Master Konan, I will obey you. Would you like to whip me?" she asks, as he has made her rehearse. "I am feeling generous today, so no. Draw my bath quickly, and it'd better be done in half an hour!" he growls, throwing Leilani out. She takes the bucket in her jaw, and runs toward the lake, full-speed.

Sky Slynx

Palari glances around, staying in a prowling position. The vast plains were a perfect place to hunt when hungry. She hears the slurping of an Anala somewhere near, which means flies. Where a swarm of flies are, so is a carcass. Palari licks her lips, getting ready to pounce when a confused mumble fills her ears. She hadn't even noticed the Jewel Fenling that had crawled near. "Which way now?" the stranger mumbled. Palari decided the carcass could wait. She hops out of her prowling position, scaring the fenling into falling onto the ground in surprise. "Hey there, I'm Palari. Where ya going? I know these Plains like the back of my ha--- paw." she winks holding up a paw. "Umm... The forests... Roraldi Forests." the fenling blinks dramatically. "Hey, me too! Wanna go together? I love making new friends!" she smiles. "ME TOO! I'm Amelli." the fenling giggles.

[Amellina]

Amelli gambols along side the Sky Slynx name Palari. "What're ya gonna do in Roraldi Forest?" Palari asks eagerly. "Oh, the normal, look for a void and wood Sahound so I can bring them back to their sister who's imprisoned by a dreamsnare yonyuu. How about yourself?" Amelli stuck her tongue out. "Well, now you make my story sound real boring." Palari smiles, and tells Amelli about how she needs to find her parents she's never really met. "That's not boring at all!" Amelli smiles, listening carefully as they scamper alongside each other each on different journies.

[Amellina]

Leilani had just thrown the last of the water into the tub when Konan strode up the hill. She bows in his presence. He hops in, sinking back slowly. "Wonderful job, Voltage. You will not be chained tonight, I have changed my mind." Leilani sighs in relief. "Master Konan, I believe if I do not eat today, I may starve, for i have only been hunting for you." she braves up and confronts him. "Refresh my memory." he goes into deep thinking. "I brought you that whole carcass that one time... and some of the best berries in the forest the next." Leilani remembers. "Was that you? Yes, that was a scrumptious piece of meat..." Konan sighs. "You may have a small portion of what ryann brings back. Leilani bows and runs off happily.

Wood Sahound

Maple bounces around anxiously, waiting for someone to come to the rescue. He was being guarded by a Bleached Shielupe named Shaine. She was always a move ahead of everyone, and Maple was sure he was never going to get saved. The game of capture the flag consisted of only 6 people, Maple, Shaine, Cainre, Kai, Alsha, and Oaki, who wasn't really playing, just sitting around saying, "Oh no you caught me." Maple rolls his eyes, flopping onto the ground in defeat. "Shaine, you do know yo could be on the other side of the field..." Maple tries pitifully to get rid of her. "Yes, I think I am going to go all the way to the other side of the field and watch someone save you from there." Shaine rolls her eyes, and glares at Maple's team, consisting of Maple, Cainre, and Oaki. Oaki was Maple's brother, and they were total opposites. Maple always had a positive outlook on things, and always had fun, whereas Oaki was bored all the time, and was almost gothic. Cainre, being a Prismatic werecain, was impossible to steal the flag, with his bright colors. Oaki would never try, so Maple was doomed. Unless... no one had noticed that Cainre was crawling behind the trees that surrounded the meadow. He charged noiselessly to Maple, and walked him back, while Shaine almost fell over in embarrassment. "Thanks Cain." maple laughed, rolling his eyes as he passed Oaki, who shrugged against a nearby tree. Maple had a chance now, since he was a Wood Sahound, he blended with trees. He eased back, whispering, "you know where it is?" Cainre nodded. "See where Kai is standing? well,..." he stopped suddenly, charging for the escape Bioline Albie named Alsha, who had used the sudden turn of events for the better. He had hastened toward where our flag was hidden, which was up in a tree toward the forest. He tagged him, led him to jail, and came back toward Maple. "Behind Kai in a small hole... a little to the right." he motioned, and Maple sunk back into the trees, going for the flag.

Biolune Rollaby

Kai turns quickly to meet Maple, who had run, weaving through trees to where the flag was. He is surprised, and meets Maple head on. They both fall back dizzily. "You okay guys?" Shaine calls out, running toward them. Kai shook his head, and had a headache forming. "I-I'm okay." Kai sighs. "I'm awesome!" Maple grins, hops up, and motions toward Cainre, who held the flag in his mouth securely. "CHEATERS!" Shaine barks out angrily. "No one called time out!" Cainre laughed, dropping it on the side that wasn't Kai's. He hopped to his feet. "They're right sheila, it's fair game." he laughs with an accent, patting her back. "Oh, get rid of the fake accent." Shaine growls. "Ease up a bit mate." Kai chuckles. "Good game." he turns to the others. "Same time next week." he calls out. Everyone turns their seperate directions.

Void Sahound

Oaki pads off into the forest, lagging behind Maple. "Didja see me Oak? Didja? Wasn't it such a good move, bumping into Kai?" he jumps about. "settle down a little bit." Oaki groans, following far behind. Maple stops, glaring at a Ragerine who was dancing about, singing at the top of his lungs. Oaki catches up, and nudges him on, leading him to their small valley, with trees scattered, all of them hollow. Only one other animal lives in the meadow, a common Kuhna named Kaktari. He was very quiet, and never talked, unlike the usual kuhna. He stayed in his tree, only rarely coming out for something other than food. Oaki curls up into a hollow tree, and Maple curls next to him. "I'm really tired." Maple yawns. "then go to bed." Oaki grumbles. "You know, you used to be really nice before Leilani disappeared." Maple sneers unhappily. "SHUT UP, DON'T YOU TALK ABOUT HER!" Oaki barks, making the tree tremble. Maple sniffs, and falls asleep pouting. Oaki sits, thinking about Leilani, who had disappeared only 2 months ago and never returned...

Palari leads Amelli all the way to a small brook, and they stop for the night. "We've covered good ground today. Only about 20 miles left." Palari yawns, sprawling onto the ground. "I must be insane." Amelli groans loudly. "How so?" Palari asks, staring at Amelli. "Well, I just meet a Voltage Sahound that thinks she's imprisoned by a Yonyuu... I mean, Yonyuu's are supposed to be nice! Anyway, she wants me to go on a long journey to find her two brothers to come and help destroy her 'Evil Yonyuu'. I don't even know her, and I'm doing all this for her..." "Just because you're a good person???" Palari interrogated. "I have no idea." Amelli lapped some water from the brook. "I think so." Palari sighed, resting for a while. Once she was rested, she went off hunting, leaving Amelli at the brook. She promised not to take that long, and pranced below the short grass, prowling. There seemed to be no sound as Palari looked for food. In the distance, there was a faint purring, probably of some small honeydew that ran from home. The breeze suddenly changed direction, and a deliciouc smell creeps up Palari's nostrils. She sighs, running in the direction the aroma came from. She approaches a small lake, that was not very deep, and the smell grows stronger. She notices where the smell came from. there was a large pile of fish sitting on the side of the lake, freshly pulled out of the water. She crawls forward, whispering loudly, "Anybody here? Are these someone's fish? Can I take 3 or 4 please?" No answer came, and she grabs three in her mouth, turning rapidly. "Hey. Watcha doin' running away with my fishies?" A rough female voice calls to Palari. She freezes. "Uh... ya! I'm talkin' to you! With the wings." Palari blinks, and whips around, dropping the fish. "I'm really sorry, I thought someone left them here, and..." "Are ya kidding me? No one woulda left perfectly good fishies on the bank here!" A Hydrokuhna laughed, crawling out of the water. "Again, really sorry. I'll never mess with your... uh... fishies again." "Naw, it's cool, you can have those one's you already bit into." she cackled, biting the air. "Oh, thank you soo much! Is there anything I can do for you?" "Well, I'm headin' for Roraldi Forest..." she raised an eyebrow at Palari's reaction, "Oh! so are we!" "WE?" the hydrokuhna asked. "ME and my friend who is waiting for me..." Palari explained. "Cool. I'll come with. By the way, I'm Chry Beshi."

[Amellina]

Amelli waits patiently, laying back against a smoothed out stone, staring at stars. Soon she falls asleep, and dreams about her family. Her brother, Porky was a common fenling, while her two sisters, Naemelli and Pelnara were Purine and Plush. Her mother had died when she was 2, and her father had disappeared before they turned 8. Amelli was awaken by a paw, prodding at her side. She groaned, and then shot up, taking a stance with ears pulled back, and teeth bared. "Oh geez, she's touchy." an unfamiliar voice grumbles. "Palari?" Amelli whispers. "yeah...?" Palari asks. "You...you see it too, right?" Amelli growled at the hydroKuhna in front of her. "Amelli, settle it. I'm Chry Beshi, and I'm comin with you to Roraldi forest." Amelli settled back. "That's nice... FOOOOOD!" she cried, throwing herself at a fish. After 2 each, they all sat back full, and sleepy.

[Amellina]

Hydrokuhna

Chry Beshi paws at one more fishie. "I'm so full but they taste so yummy!" she mumbles. Leilani chuckles, playing with the fish bones. Chry Beshi thinks about the days performance, with all the fighting and running. She had just been in a fight, right before Leilani showed up, with an Imperial Kalamarei about fish. "Hey guys. Ya'll wanna go to bed soon?" she asked tiredly. Amelli nodded, slumping back in a comfortable position. Palari raised an eyebrow at them both, but stood up. "We don't need more than 6 hours of sleep. We get up early tomorrow if we want to make it to Roraldi forest the day after. That way we can leisure, and it gives us time to hunt and eat. Amelli held up a cleaned paw, from the brook. "These paws don't have claws. Or blood. Or dirt. I'm NOT going hunting and ruining them now." she gloated, grooming her tails. Chry Beshi snickered, and mimicked her. "Hey Amelli, I see some dirt under your nail..." Leilani stifled a laugh. Amelli jumped up, frightened, and ran her paw under the surprisingly warm water again. "dude, you don't even have nails." Chry Beshi rolls her eyes, chuckling.
