Shadiya - Post 3 - 18 HP
She had allowed bliss to overtake her, but the sudden appearance of another shocked the girl. Gasping, Shadiya attempted to protest against Diligence's claim but soon her world was dark again. As she woke, Shadiya rubbed her eyes. What had just happened? All of this was beginning to get so confusing!
A bright light stopped her swirling thoughts and the girl blinked in amazement to see so many of her dear people standing before her. Smiling, Shadiya rushed up to all of them and enjoyed the moment. Before she realized it though something changed and the girl frowned. Why weren't they looking at her anymore? Pain and confusion flickered through her gaze as she glanced around. Who? They were looking at someone else now as if she didn't exist! Her heart in pain the girl attempted to smile, but her expression was off.
Was she not wanted anymore?
Quickly she looked for the one person she knew she could rely on, "Dex..." Her gaze brimming with tears, Shadiya latched onto his arm. "Please speak to me..."

Nadiya - Post 3 - 20 HP
Stretching, Nadiya let out a content sigh. That water had been super refreshing! Now she was certain that she could get out of here and get back on the road. Music was calling to her and she had melodies to create~ But first to do what I need to do here. Though she wasn't exactly certain what that was yet, Nadiya was beginning to imagine that this was more than a dream. Eventually this would become a beautiful story, right?
She could only hope.
Reaching out towards the door the Matori hummed softly to herself before stepping into the darkness. Why am I not surprised? As she was surrounded by a brilliant white light, Nadiya was surprised to see her family before her again. A few others were there and the girl felt her face break out into a big smile. She had missed them so much! Darting forward Nadiya threw her arms around her siblings. However, in just a few beats the girl found that their attention was away from her and towards someone else.
What? Why?
Pouting, Nadiya spun on her heels. She had just found them again! Dream or not this was rather cruel keeping her family away from her...who were they even watching? This person better be something super special. And maybe if they were then they could become her friend and hopefully give her a good story to tell! Pushing past her hurt, Nadiya set her face in determination as she attempted to peer around the crowd of loved ones.

V'demhePost 3 - Choice B
HP 21I CHOOSE CHOICE B It wasn't long before her body felt exhausted and her vision blacked out. Dem could feel a panic in her but was unable to react to it. Then suddenly a bright light was blinding her and she squinted and blinked. Voices filled her ears and she turned her head to look. It was her friends and family! She almost breathed a sigh of relief but.. something felt off. Their love, their praise, it wasn't directed at her. Not like it should have been. V'demhe tilted her head some as she tried to gain some understanding of what was going on. At first she wondered if it was a result of her having not been in their lives, but when her gaze fell onto her daughters she knew that wasn't the case. Even her shy Masika was warmed up to this person in the middle of it all. Galene wasn't trying to torment them either. So there had to be something about this person that she didn't see. Besides, Dem was the type of person that was easy to get along with. Or at least she always thought so. Making friends had never been hard for her. So she moved closer to join the ranks of her friends and family. Though she did make sure to stand closer to her mate and daughters than the rest of them just to make sure it was understood that they were hers.

HuyanaPost 3 - Choice C
HP 20I CHOOSE CHOICE C
The waters felt good and his body seemed to be regenerated. Huyana got out of the waters and stretched with a smile on his face. Now he could do whatever needed to be done. When he noticed a door he moved toward it and pushed it open. It was dark on the other side but surely he could find an oil lamp or something.
After he entered there was a blinding light that had him shielding his eyes from it and blinking like mad. Huy took a moment to adjust and as he did he started to hear voices. So he wasn't alone. That was a good sign. When he was able to see again he lowered his hand and saw that the voices, now that they sounded familiar, belonged to his friends and family. Was he home? A smile lit his face and he took a step forward but paused when he noticed that everyone was ignoring him. He expected as much from his brothers, they were jerks to him on a regular basis, but his baby sister usually attached herself to him when he was home.
Huyana blinked, upset that when he tried to call out no one cared to even turn his way. What was going on? Why was all their attention on someone else and not him? As he spotted Eirlys he moved over to stand near her. Surely she would speak to him. They had an interesting friendship of sorts. She would listen and understand. Maybe she'd even come back to him.

PhaedraPost 3 - Choice C HP: 23 I CHOOSE CHOICE C As she languished in the water her brain became a fog. Then she remembered that there was someone she was supposed to meet. Right? Phaedra tried to think but before she came to a conclusion she was being pulled out of the water. After a small verbal lashing she felt like she was drowning then her world went black. She wasn't sure how long she was out but soon enough she was being bombarded with a bright light and Phae had to admit she was not a fan. With a groan she blinked several times to help her eyes adjust to the sudden change. As her vision cleared up she heard the voices of those around her. Family. Mostly. And some friends. They were giving their attention to someone else, though. When she tried to get the attention of those she was closest to they didn't seem to even care. What was so special about the person they wanted to dote on? Phaedra frowned as she felt lonely. Instantly she made her way over to Mano and reached out to take his hand. He would listen to her. Perhaps he'd even hug her and give her the affection she craved from him? All she could do was try.

I CHOOSE CHOICE B ||Takoda||
||Post 3|| Choice B
||HP: 25||
It seemed as soon as he left the pool the area grew dark and cold. All that warmth escaped his limbs and he felt his teeth almost chattering as he wrapped his arms around himself for warmth. Although the temperature hadn't changed it was the inky blackness that left him feeling empty and hallow. Perhaps that was why he felt his heart skip a beat when he heard his mates voice.
Looking around he spotted Jacinthus and without much prodding ran to the archers outstretched arms. Other beings were coming into sight, Chalcedony, Keilana, Chandra, Aysun...even alkidikes he had befriended along the way of his life journey. The feeling was of warmth spreading over him, hands touched him but ..one by one they left. Something was drawing their attention, they caring words and thoughtful gestures moving away from him to...someone else he couldn't quite make out from the gathering crowd of his loved ones, friends and acquaintances.
Who were they all talking to? About to ask Jacinthus this very question he found...even his mate release him and wander over to the crowd of people to join in the talking with this stranger. Alone...Takoda looked surprised,like a new born radaku pup unsure about where it was and how it got here. Jealousy sprang up but was quickly squashed away. The shifter berated himself for feeling such hostility towards someone he had never met. Forcing a smile he stepped forward, perhaps...if everyone found this person so interesting he should...speak with them as well. Moving forward his feet felt like rocks were tied to them, sluggishly he made his way to the crowd, his hand coming out to tap on Jacinthus's shoulder only to be ignored.
Hurt Takoda tried to shake off this feeling of loneliness and betrayal. After all he wasn't alone, everyone he held dear was here. And why should he feel betrayed? No one had done anything wrong beyond showing a keen interest in a person Takoda couldn't even see. Taking a breath he tried to catch Jacinthus's attention again...only to be brushed off and completely ignored. Takoda's heart ached...

I CHOOSE CHOICE C Volkarosh
13 HP
--- It was nice in the water. Volkarosh paddled at it vaguely, enjoying how it felt against her hands, her skin her... how long was she here? She had something she needed to do... didn't she? She turned, trying to listen to the reminder buzzing in her ears, only to find that she couldn't. Her face creased in vague frustration, but did she care? She was comfortable... so comfortable. You should know betterStrong hands dragged her out of the water, and suddenly everything went black, void choking her as she struggled and... "Oh yeah, Volka is amazing!"
"She's some kid, all right!"
"She can hit a tree at ten paces with a knife! I taught her that, you know! She's really good!"People surrounded her - her family. Lashy, Mom, Dad, Arron... they were all there. The little girl swelled with pride, a warm feeling growing in her. They were here, united, and they would always be there for her... Except... "But did you see what Arron just did?"
"Oh, yeah! He just tamed a giant five horned radaku!"
"What a kid!"
"Wow!"Volkarosh looked towards her brother, puzzled. He was beaming, absorbing the attention that had once been on her. "Look at how tall he is! How strong!"
"He hit a bug from twenty paces!"
"He's so amazing!"She turned to her best friend - Direk, the Aldabuck, because Lashy was praising her brother - and talked to her. She looked into the sulfurous eyes of the Aldabuck, and knew she would understand. "I want to be like him." she mouthed - no sound came from her mouth. The Aldabuck nodded and nuzzled her, "I wish I was grown up and big." Direk thought she was big enough. Volka nuzzled her side. "No I'm not. He's so tall, and I'm so little... I'll never grow up, Direk." Direk thought that was nonsense. Volkarosh didn't. She hugged her soft furred side. "He's better than me, Direk. He'll always be better, and they'll all love him more." It hurt much more than it should. She closed her eyes and ears against the constant praise for Arron, and snuggled into Direk's side as the beast murred something comforting...

I CHOOSE CHOICE A Ruelash
21hp
--- Ruelash's teeth began to chatter, and he felt as though he was soaked through to the bone. His eyes were wide and feral as he tried, desperately, to claw his way out of the water. He had to get out, he had to do the thing, but it was as if the water was holding him. He gasped, struggling for air, and then failed as all went black and he fell again into an abyss... Suddenly, there were people. That they were his people meant that he didn't lash out at them as he might have done. "Hey, 'roia..." he said, but she didn't seem to hear him. But they were talking about him in their garbled dream voices. "Lashy is the greatest! He taught me how to hunt and fish and hunt!"
"Ruelash smashes things good. With his swords."
"Hes a friend. My friend."
"I trust him. He has my back."
"He kills things really well. I like killing things too."
"Rue saved me. Hes a good guy!" People were around him - Iroia, Volka, the other kid, that man that looked like him, Sezzy, and even Neska. They cared about him. They were hugging him. It was nice to know that they said nice things. It was nice to know that they liked him. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the warmth of it - such a rare warmth. Suddenly, though, he realized that that warmth was gone. They were talking about someone else, enjoying the company of someone else, liking someone else. He was alone and forgotten. "'roia?" he called out, "Volka?" his voice was plaintive. He couldn't tell who they were paying attention to, but it hurt. It hurt so much. Ruelash did not deal with pain well. They would pay attention to him again. They would not leave him alone. With a gutteral snarl, he drew his blades and attacked the faceless person who had stolen his pack from him. He'd stab them, and stab them, and stab them, until they weren't a problem anymore...

I CHOOSE CHOICE B Votzhem
23 hp
--- "Mmmm..." This was was nice. He deserved to relax. He could afford to relax. He wanted to relax. Sometimes, you just had to do whatever you wanted. Though... how long had he been in here? Come on, you fool, you know better than this."Diligen...?!" the rest of the word was caught by the fog as he was dragged out of the water, and he choked. Blackness cloaked his vision. ... His family surrounded him, their warmth - and warm words soothing his momentary panic. He was home, with them, finally after such a long time away. They said nice things that washed over him like thick, fragrant milk, and he rested - again, rested - in their midst. And suddenly, it was gone. He opened his eyes to see that his little circle of family - Iroia, Volkarosh, and Arronthain, as well as his mothers, were now all focused on one person. Painted and bombastic, Kaalnia soaked up all their attention, enjoying it. "Kaa, come on." he snarled, inexplicably outraged. She was not going to steal away his wife and family like this. She couldn't... Or, was she stealing them at all? Was he just such a bad husband and father that they had to turn to his sister? What amazing quality did she have, that he lacked? Maybe she could help him... Maybe she would be too happy to. He walked up to her, through the circle of his awed and worshipful family. "Hey, Kaa." he said, sitting down, "Teach me your ways?"

I CHOOSE CHOICE A Dyakida
25hp
---With the little rest she had, she felt great - better, even, than before. Colors were clearer, her footfalls were surer, and when she opened the door she was supposed to open, she did so with no reluctance or compunction. Her tribe surrounded her, a mass of green, powerful people, all supporting her, assisting her. They told her she was the best, that she would become better, that they loved her. She knew they did, that no matter how they felt about her condition, they would always stand by her. Enough of them would, anyway. And then they turned away, oo-ing and ahh-ing over a new child, something strange and ethereal, born of Aishas petals. They were unique and special in every way, perfect as any Alkidike should be. Whole. Dyakida watched them leave, feeling cold and exposed in their sudden absence. "Come back!" she called, "I've made you swords... spears... bows... please come back, I'll finish them soon...?" They didn't hear her. She was flawed, imperfect, broken, and this other was stealing everything she had just by existing. Just by being perfect. Just by being there. Except she wasn't was she. "You aren't what they think you are!" Dyakida shouted over the crowd at the perfect child, glittering golden and resplendent in the sunlight, "You're a freak! You're broken in the head! You'll tear our tribe apart! You're nothing! NOTHING!" She screamed and screamed, her voice hoarse, "Don't listen to her! Don't look at her! Come back to me..." she fell to her knees, supplicating her tribe with her hands, "Please..." she begged.

I CHOOSE CHOICE B Hijil
25 hp
---Between the berries and the relaxing water, Hijil felt refreshed - through the door was Bhima, and Hijil was so happy to see her. Bhima would love the berries, to be sure. Everything would be wonderful. Darkness, and then light. Xilarn and Bhima were there - she hadn't seen him in so long! It was nice that he was all right. He cared about Hijil, in his ornery Oban way. And Bhima... Bhima would always be there. Bhima loved her. These were the words that her lover whispered in her ears, they were the whole world to her. Hijil grinned broadly, silent with delight, and offered her berries to her friends. The berries were shared... and then gone, along with them both. "Bhima? Xilarn?" she called, searching for them. Ah. There they were. They were with someone else, whispering good things to someone else, sharing her berries with someone else. Hijil frowned, hurting like a raw sore, and then sat down to watch. Maybe they had something she didn't. Maybe, if she watched this other person, she would understand what she was doing wrong...

I CHOOSE CHOICE B Ziel
HP: 11 hpMom? One moment Ziel was in that watery tub and now her family was here? Even her extended family on her mother’s side was here. Ziel ran to them, hugging them all but then they all turned from her. There was another hybrid, same as her water and shifter. Hey all seemed to be praising this girl, Ziel peeked and looked at her. Was this a sister or something? Was that why everyone was so happy to see her? Ziel didn’t think much of it; she joined in with the others happily. If she had a sister now then she was more than happy to welcome her.

HP: 11 hpKanika had been happy in the water, even relaxed! It was so nice, so when the water disappeared she was still not as happy but when she spotted not only her sister but her mother’s she ran to them. Finally something that made sense! The whole happy thing turned sour when an Akidike child stepped forward and both mothers started praising her beyond anything she’d ever seen. It was odd, Kanika knew Zandala thought the Elaria were perfect, why was she praising this child? Turning to her sister, Kanika glared at the girl.
“I don’t see how she is better than us!” Still frowning, the Elaria crossed her arms and turned her back so she could speak to her sister in private.

HP: 21 hp When the landscape changed again, Alassiel ran to her husband and child hugging both like it was the end of the world. She was so happy to see them. But then some other shifter woman approached and her husband went to her, hugging her in a way that was entirely inappropriate. Then her daughter ran over to her all excited. Ally narrowed her eyes, who the heck was this woman? Moving forward, she grabbed Ziel to pull her away and then turned her back to the woman and grabbed her husband’s hand to pull him away. She didn’t know who she was, but she didn’t belong here!

HP: 21 hpZandala didn’t know what was going on, but she was just about ready to get off the back of this ride. She was happy to see them, but what she was not happy to see was this other Alkidike that everyone seemed so enthralled with. Zandala frowned deeply, who was this woman? What was she doing here? She’d never seen her… The Alkidike moves by her family, shoving the other woman away from them before throwing an insult her way. The other woman came back at her and Zandala shoved her back again, this was going to break out into a fight if the woman didn’t back off.
