"wait....few of us?.....how many and who all do you know survived?" Anubis asked worriedly now feeling as if he had some part in this
xhunterko wrote:"I think you owe us more than a few explanations Donau," Amber said, looking at him cross.
Luke nodded, looking from Donau to Anubis.
Donau rubbed his head, feeling like a freight train of a headache incoming...
Time traverls, oy... He then sighed, trying to come up with something that, he hoped, wouldn't screw with his friends' minds...too much.
First of all, he lifted the Veil and returned to his
normal state for Anubis to see.
"Time after you started visiting us, Anubis, something happened: the lions, the fourth tribe as it is known today, got ahead of themselves, they started...lusting for more power than they could manage. And they were powerful enough, since their shamans could harness the very power of the light from the Sun. We don't know why yet what triggered this folly, but they managed to harness much more than they could handle, trying to break into the Aether magic...And our beautiful Zilnawa, our monuments, everything...it was destroyed." a tear fell from his eye, a rare display of emotion from a being that looked as if he could feel nothing but primordial hunger...
"The 'Ruins of Atlantis' are all that's left. Those, and a handful of the other citizens that at the moment of the cataclysm were away exploring the island and building minor settlements. As for the lions, the God confined them in a temporal limbo from where they cannot escape, condemned to spend eternity in the mockup of the realm they wanted to control.
"Since then, from one tribe we became three again, and we lived in peace, not wanting to fall into the clutches of greed as the lions did...but, generation after generation, our numbers started to grow too much for the island to sustain us all...and thus the tribal wars started." He looked at Luke and Amber.
"We rabbits turned from friends to first choice of pray, and thus we used our gifts to hide away, to separate ourselves from our predators, waiting for one side to overcome the other...And the God punished us by turning us all into the monsters we were inside. The only way to lift the curse, thus the God said, is that we work for a new peace, a new coexistence, though he never said us how.
"But now that the God blessed you, Luke and Amber, I am sure that you are the first step toward that new peace. That is why I will do everything in my power to help you, with all my heart. Please, believe me." he went down on his knees and bent until his brow toched the ground.

hypernovatic wrote:"Yeah." Shukaku said, getting up by himself, not wanting to take the chance of being caught off guard.
Lyla smiled. "Well thought, I'll give it to you, but..." and this time, her leg flashed in a kick that...stopped just a hair's breadth from Shukaku's nose. The mere air moving ruffled the cat's face fur. "Next time, don't just get up, roll backward so to put some distance between you and your adversary." her toes wiggled and a claw tickled Shukaku's nose.

kurowolfe wrote:"Ai need too do sumthing first," Haq said. He fell into a squat and began tracing the ground with a stick he picked up nearby. The wolf drew in a moderate pace, and when he was done, some sort of floor plan was roughly etched. A plan for the enclave, similar to his ruined home, but different at the same time as well, utilizing whatever ruins were left of this old place. Haq stood up again, closed his eyes and imagined how the village would look like with the plans as a guide. He took in a deep breath and began to speak loudly, again enunciating every word.
"Spirits of the village, heed my call! I need you to carry stones and wood to form houses and buildings in the image of what I envisioned. Search the area for materials and use the base of this village, so that we can build a new life together! Now go!"
Because of his naturally melodious voice and the silent atmosphere, his voiced commands had that powerful push behind them that most orotund leaders have. It also turned out that the slight wolf automatically speaks fluid English when he shouted them out like this.
It would've made a sight to behold! At the red wolf's command, the air was suddenly filled with light orbs of different colors, each shining like a small sun! And then, as the orbs started moving around, they started collecting random pieces of loose material laying around...but really, little of what was needed. After that, they just stayed there, floating, waiting...
"Not your fault, chieftain," the Hunter said without irony.
"You cannot ask them to destroy their houses nor to move their bones. They are part of this place: try to tear it down, you'd lose all control over them, unless you were a god. But I'm sure you can think of another way to do what you need. And remember, this project goes far longer than you can think, for if it works, it will be a step toward that intertribal peace this island has lost so long ago..." There was a longing, this time, in the feral spirit's expression.
"My beloved spoke to me of what the spirits said of those days, and I swore to him that I'd work for peace, for unity..."

xhunterko wrote:"Yeah, rather silly isn't it? Though as far as I know, the times don't seem bad, unless I'm missing something," Khun said, "I mean, I thought wondered what a little extra luck could do to everybody's day here? And if it's too small or silly just forget it. I mean, who knows, I might need a little divine favor sometime later?"
Like, a little help getting a girl hey don't talk like that around a god! Besides, now that, THAT would be something silly to ask for! Khun thought to himself. He could see the group now, he wasn't that far from the entrance. He did notice the wolf dog had something under his arm. He reasoned that he must have just made it, making a mental note to ask him about it.
"I have no quailms in giving a help. It is only you who must decide the means. All I ask from my adorers is that they choose *wisely*. Nothing like hurry can spoil a well-meant wish."

xhunterko wrote:"Well, I, I suppose all right then," Monique said, cupping her light in her hand, "Though, how exactly is this supposed to work then?"
Reginald showed his own answer...by popping the light into his mouth and swallowing it! he then giggled and shook. "hehe, it tickles my head!" And after that, a small light turned on in his chest, where his heart stood. "Ohh, cute." The pup rapped his chest with his knuckles. "Hey, Mr. Martian, are you there?" A pulsing glow answered him. Reginald wagged. "Cute!" He shook again. "It's tickling my head again....It's like when a grownup is talking but you can't really pay attention."
Roarin wrote:"Cool! I guess I wouldn't mind keeping an extraterrestrial soul around. Certainly would be an interesting conversation starter." He cupped his light in both of his paws. "But umm, does it do... Anything? Can I talk to it? Hello?"
The light in the canine's paws pulsed just like it did for Reginald. But no voice sounded into Flint's mind.
"You must accept it inside you first, Flint and Monique, like Reginald did," the stardragon said, while a pulsar danced in his chest.

Civilization wrote:Tutter nodded, looking at the other two that now made up the group. Ready to go off and see what continual surprise and information this place would bring to him. As they prepared to go on their adventure to whatever the journey would take them, since it was seemingly changing while the location stayed the same. "So what brings you here to this island?"
RandomGeekNamedBrent wrote:"Same thing that brings most people to exotic islands," Buster answered. "We're on vacation."
Janus nodded.
"We're staying here for the night. Tomorrow we will be back home. Advantages of being magicked wherever we want." He winked at the rabbit.
