Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kivuli padded quietly avoiding the stones that littered the path in the forest, the moon high in the night sky. She flexed her wings peering around in the darkness, her own swirling around her. She tilted her head listening to small creatures scurrying around in the undergrowth; the forest was alive at night all sorts of nocturnal animals lived there and began roaming. She could see fine despite how dark it was, in fact she preferred the darkness and the night to the light and the day. She moved off the path silently weaving in-between the giant trees stalking a mouse that ran in the brush.

She paused in her hunt, a sent came though on the breeze. Hmm perhaps she wasn't the only hunter on the ground tonight. Spreading her wings as she jumped, quickly making her way into a tree to see who else was around on this wonderfully dark evening. She listened intently for any noises other than the sound of the bats and owls that swooped threw the sky catching insects and rodents.

Kivuili watched a something moved along the shadows, hearing the mouse let off one shrill cried before it died she crept closer to where it had been. She was curious as to what had killed the mouse she had been stalking early. She could find another easily she was in here element literally. The darkness and night aligned neko had been preparing to sneak down the tree when a small bird few in front of her. She leapt of the tree grabbing it midair blocking out the silver light of the moon for a moment as she used her wings to slow her decent she landed softly on the ground.

Sadly her take off wasn’t nearly as quiet and she was sure that whatever it was she had been planning to stalk abide not for the same reason as the mouse had heard her. From what she had seen back in the tree it was most likely another cat. She would find them soon enough though; right now she had a fresh meal calling her. Folding her wings she bent down over the bird and began to eat it.

Kivuli had just finished her first bite savoring the flavor, when she heard a voice call out in the darkness she hissed angrily at it. “I’m no bird fool and I’d like to see you try.” She snapped back venomously annoyed that any one would think her too lazy to catch her own food and that they would be able to eat her. Taking another bite she listened intently for any sign that the owner of the voice was indeed looking for a fight, one she would gladly give.

Her own fur bristled at the idea that someone would dare try to take anything form her, yes if it was a fight they wanted then she would gladly show them their place. Hell she might even take their catch simply. Her tail flicked crazily as she waited moving into a position to better defend herself, her wings pressed closely to her body, she wondered how shocked they would be to see her wings, most people where terrified of her, she chuckled thinking of the annoying creature running in fear as she spreads them.

She was more than readily for a fight, the soon it came the sooner she could get back to her meal. Of course there was also the possibility that it was simply and idle threat as well.

Kivuli snorted angrily, her golden eyes peered through the darkness aided by her elemental alignment she was able to make out the shape of a neko. “You dare think that I am too lazy to hunt for myself?” she hissed back at the neko “I am plenty capable of catching my own food, and besides it’s not like you can catch anything I can’t. If you’re so worried about not eating then maybe you should find new hunting grounds because I assure you I’m not going anywhere. If you still wish to try to eat me however, why you don’t come over here? Like I said earlier I’d love to see you try.”

She was irritated at the fact that it kept going on about its food, there was plenty of things to catch in the forest, and if someone was going to take their food they wouldn’t make their presence known until after the fact, well if they were smart anyways. She tried to keep her fur down but the idea that she might be in a fight soon made it impossible for her to not have her heckles raised. Her tail would have been thrashing around with excitement if she wasn't trying to make herself hard to find.

“I see” she purred in amusement. “Well if you still wish to fight you can come over here now. If not why don’t we eat before meeting? Some people seem to get so irritable when they’re hungry and I promise not to bite, for now anyways.”

Kivuli waited a bit to see if the other was indeed looking for a fight. After a few moments she turned to her bird and began to eat it, she enjoyed the warm meat; there wasn’t much that was better than freshly caught food. She ate somewhat slowly taking the time to savor her food and still be ready for a fight should she need to.

Kivuli slowly ate the bird she caught savoring it. An amused grin slid over her face when she heard something scuttle up a tree, she waited until she had finished her meal to say something. “Scurrying up like a squirrel are we? Do I scare you that much already? To think you haven’t even seen me yet.” She wondered briefly if it was scared, not that it mattered he would probably run like the rest of them.

She chuckled under her breath; this neko was quickly going from irritating to amusing. She stood up stretching a bit. She kept her wings pined to her sides the shadows of the forest making them look more like markings and not actual wings. “So are you going to come down here or am I going to have to go to you?”

A smile slid across her face as the male neko came down from the tree. "No you're not, not yet any ways." She stretched, shifting her golden gaze onto him. He wasn’t scared of her yet, but soon he would run like the others. Some ran when they saw the darkness crawling along her body shifting and swirling ignoring the light and other darkness as it warped around her. Most however fled when they saw her wings, she was intimidating on her own but her large wingspan seemed to make many think her a demon.

She almost sighed, it wasn’t often she talked to other and never the same person twice people tended to avoid her after their meetings, while she was amused by the male in front of her she wanted to see his reaction the shock and fear on others faces when they saw her wings was always amusing. She stared right at him her golden eyes boring into him as she extended her wings to their full length making it obvious they weren’t markings. It would be interesting if he stayed.

Kivuli watched as he jumped when he landed he stayed where he was, no doubt frozen in place by his fear. Her lips twisted into what might be a small smile. She watched as his expression changed slowly, was that curiosity mixed with a bit off jealousy she saw? Hmm most people where to scare to jealous but she could understand that he might be jealous of the fact that she was aligned, as far as she knew there weren’t to many aligned nekos running around. She wondered if there was something else he could be jealous of and if there was what it was. She was surprised that his fear had faded so quickly.

Her face showed a bit of confusion for a second before returning to its normal impassive expression. She folded her wings looking him over intently as she watched him yawn and snarked at her. “Who knows perhaps it was thousands perhaps it was none.” She laid down intrigued by him she paused for a moment trying to figure out what to do next. “You did not run, nor are frozen with fear this has never happened in as long as I can remember. I suppose I should introduce myself since it seems that you aren’t going to scurry off like a frightened mouse. I am Kivuli and my alignment is night and darkness, who might you be?
