Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Kouryou frowned, still glaring at Feo as he knelt next to Ruki, rubbing Ruki's head gently* "Go to yoru sister, Ruki. I'll deal with your daddy. He did this to mommy, too...he has a lot of explaining to do."

~~~~~~

*Malaki nodded* "The world isnt exactly in the best of states, I know...but I'm sure things will get better. Call me a hopeless optimist."

Sirvat slowly turned away from Sunny and looked up at him. It didn't seem like she was one to hold grudges, her blue eyes looked like Arte's and she jumped up to hug him, clinging around his neck. "Forgiven!" She says.

"Oh but I have... Unless one of you has the power to fight the wind!" Kaida laughed some and suddenly a hole ripped in will's roof as first she went, then jan then Petrine through the hole, flying over the heads of those on the ground and not stopping till they got nearer to the castle before it set down. She was used to traveling so she landed lightly on her feet, the others might find themselves a little dizzy.

Aysel blinked at the cyclone. "That can't be good."

William blinked and his face went from shock to anger. "MY ROOF!"

Fay ran into the house. "What the hell just happend?"

Artemis decided to just pretend to be unconcious now, she closed her eyes and tried to forget.

Arthur and Raph blinked as they walked in to Ace and Alaster. "So this is the Animal desendent who can hide herself so well." Arthur says with a smile.
Zach looked at her and his eyes saddend a bit.

"Just watch her while we go prepare for the other slave we're expecting." Ace said, leading Alaster out of the room.

Lethe blinked a few times as the cyclones burst through the roof. "Um...it's great that we're having this little reunion and all...but that can't be good..." she said as she pointed at the 3 shapes swirling away through the sky.

Ranulf hissed, he didn't know what had taken place or who was even in the house, but something about the cyclones made him angry.

Reyson just watched as the swirled away. "What to do now...." he murmured mainly to himself as he debated whether or not he should fly after the swirls.

Janaff, not knowing how to land in the cyclone landed on the ground with a small thud. He immediately looked around in a panic and tried to stand up to run...however, he appeared to have twisted his ankle when he landed. "Oh s***." he muttered. "WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS TAKEN ME?!" he shrieked as he glared at Kaida and Petrine.

Petrine laughed. "Oh don't worry little scum...you're near the human castle, your old master will be delighted to see you." she sneered. "Oh, and don't even think of trying to run or fly...Kaida will just get you back..." she hissed.

Inside the castle, Greil sat inside the room he and Naesala had been granted. He was slowly tossing a coin up and down in his hand. "I hope we get assigned something to do sometime soon..." he said as he flopped back down on the bed.

Naesala shrugged as he leaned against the wall where he had been standing. Suddenly, he twitched. "I think I smell a rotten bird mix nearby...he's not quite at the castle yet though...." he said with a small grin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the woods, Volug rose to his feet. Just as he was about to attack his sister again, he glimsed what looked like 3 cyclones a very far distance away. He immediately transformed back into his mix form. "Did you just see that?" he asked his sister as he continued to stare at the now empty sky.

Nailah was also looking at the spot. "Yes....I saw them....and if you hadn't and had attacked me....you would have actually succeeded since I was distracted by them...." she said slowly.

Volug blinked. "I don't think that's important right now....what should we do?" he asked.

Will blinked and looked down. He stayed silent for a long while, his fists were clenched, and slowly they became unclenched and he dropped the sword on the ground. The magnitude hitting him. He couldn't come back here. He'd been raised in this house by the river, he knew no other home.

Sirvat laughed some at her brother. "See I told you he could do it too..." She smiled and rested her head on Feo's shoulder. Sirvat like most little kids just wanted to be loved and accepted by her family, like most people want to, to find where they belong, no matter how nutty their family is... or how big... as this one seemed humongous to her. "Oh... I'm Sirvat... I don't know if you know our names... And that's Ruki..." She smiled happy to belong. "A ... bad word daddy said is a donkey, like a little horsey." She said, her little tail was wagging a mile a minute.

Sunny blinked. "Well now that our lovely emo, arte obsessed Mixed Breed descendant has decided to join the world of the conscious... What the f..." She looked at the kids. "What the flipping upper cookie kittys were those cyclones... and Who wants to hear my plan for getting our lovely Animal Descendent back besides the whole sending feo to his doom the way the humans want it? It involves four of us either mixed or human taking out a few guards who are willing to pretend they are guards and not jump the gun, i mean as in waiting for the opportune moment just in case feo needs help. Cause obviously this involves something huge besides just getting both descendents... They wouldn't have left Arte alive if they didn't need both of them for something... At least not in my opinion."

Fay blinked and opened the door in the house and looked to kyo. "Are you ok? What happened?"

Ace blinked and shook her head, walking by the kitchens on the way up and handing him a bag of chocolate chip cookies. "Try those." She says patting his head. "Oh boy..."

Dart blinked. "Oh that can't be good."

Kaida shrugged a bit and grabbed jan's arm. "Come on bird boy, the sooner we get you back to your masters the sooner we can have birdy wings for dinner." She says aggravated. "Some Stupid humans.... no offense miss petrine, think they can take any mix that's on the street."

((everyone knows i can't make a post with out Arte in it... she's like my main gal))

Arte shook a bit and stayed where she was. Her hair was matted down her back and her shirt had slices in it from the whip, so she felt the cool air of the dungeon.

Zach watched his two friends who stood guard, both seemed slightly board, but happy that if this one tried anything they were free to beat her to within an inch of life. He kneeled down next to Arte and rested his hand on her shoulder.
She twitched slightly and opened her eyes slowly. She didn't say anything just looked up at this kitty mixed.
Zach whispered softly. "You don't know what the book is yet... But you need to get it to ensure the survival of our world. If you go to the book, you might be able to get a clearer idea why all this started, the road is hard, but you'll see him again, and he won't hate you... I should know I see glimpses of what is to happen... Keep a little bit of hope... You and your friends are the only chance we have to return to peace."

Arte blinked some, and closed her eyes. This young boy seemed wise beyond his years... and she could only hope that he was right... That Feo wouldn't hate her for giving her self up so easily.

Aysel shook her head. "No... Those were a set of three cyclones, they probably belong to the wind wolf on the human king's side. I hate to think who they took from the group..."

Lethe nodded at Sunny's plan. "Sounds like a good plan...Count me in, I wanna take out guards!" she said excitedly, but serious at the same time. She then poked Rai in the side. "You should not be cursing around little children." she pretended to scold him while trying not to laugh...she'd gotten used to his randomness over the 5 years of living with the little bat.

Reyson nodded as well. "I'll be willing to help out in any way you need me...and I'm sure Ran here would be too." he said as he poked the cat-mix in the ribs.

Ranulf meeped, but then responded. "Yea yea...of course I'll help out! Anything to make our hott little kitty-mix decendent happy!" he said with a grin.

Janaff tried to struggle against Kaida's grip, but her grip was too strong for him to break loose. "Let me go you creep!" he growled. I hope Ai's okay he found himself thinking as he was dragged along.

Petrine followed Kaida and the bird..."No offense taken...I feel the same way about many humans this day and age...especially the ones we just dealt with..."


Greil smirked at Naesala's last remark. "I'm gonna leave you in charge of his punishments this time around." he said with a sneer.

Naesala developed a wide grin. "As you wish master." he said as he chuckled softly to himself. "He'll wish he never ran away this time."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nailah was already one step ahead of volug and walking off in the direction that the cyclones had been. She had a sense of what direction they had moved after they lost sight of them. "Follow me...we're gonna find where those cyclones went off too...I have a feeling the humans might somehow be involved." she hissed.

Volug nodded. "I thought you might say that..." he said as he followed his sister off towards what they would later discover to be the human castle.

"I'll go with the ones to rescue Artemis." *Kouryou said automatically once she'd said the 4-8 who could pass as humans, his hands tighening into fists* "I can easily pass for a guard, if I can get some armor."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Really? Which one? And his is...distinctive. So is mine. We both speak to the wind to let each other know where we are, but I dont think he's listening right now...Thanks for checking for him, anyway." *he smield to the panther, tilting his head* "How far are they?"

"I'm sorry." Adam muttered as he walked up behind Will. He placed a hand on the other's shoulder gently, "I know this is going to be hard on you.... but who knows. Maybe someday you can come back here after the war"

Rai waved his fist. "LETS BEAT THOSE BASTARDs!!!!!"

Kai blinked hearing the familar voice of Rai. "Oh dear.. time to see what is up then shall we?"

Alaster grinned and took the bag "Thank you Ace! Now is the time to relax, for all we have to do is wait for the mix to come!"

Ruki grinned. "CAN WE KICK BUTT TOO?!"

Feo sighed. "Oh dear. Should we be talking inside maybe? I can imagine that inside is in much more chaos then what we are dealing with now.."

"They took jan!" Kyo and Ai shouted in unison.
"we have to get him back!" Ai yelled as she tried not to cry again.
"We have to get out of here first!" Kyo said through gritted teeth.
