Welcome to Gaia! ::

Osero approached the village, striding through the long grass. The hunter had his hands full, returning from a foraging trip through the island. He had managed to catch several of the trout that the surrounding waters were so plentiful in. Gutted already, they would need to be filleted and smoked when he got the chance. The new knife that Rahujo had given him was already proving to be much more effective and efficient than his old worn one.

He had also had the luck to chance upon a couple of rabbits feeding in the grass. His spear was ideal for fish hunting, but it was just as useful for catching game too. He had caught the two separately, in different parts of the island. Approaching quietly and downwind, he had brought them down before they had even realised. There had been a third, but it had noticed him in time and gotten away.

The pair of small creatures that he had caught had been looped to his belt. He had his hands full with the fish and his spear already, so he had to carry them that way.

As he entered Cetalu, he made a beeline for the Community Centre, accompanied by the smell of his catch. He would drop off the rabbits first, before going to prepare the fish fillets for whoever might want them.

Fae had sat outside her house the entire day sketching away in her journal of her surroundings. Her two Fenthry were playing sky-tag within perimeter and wouldn't stray too far. Ombre, having under-developed wings, wasn't as quick as her brother and was often left as the Fenthry it.

Fae sighed, finally getting bored. Where was everyone? Looking up to follow the two flying Fenthry, something else moving across the feild caught her attention. It was now darker out before and one of the only brightest lights was her glowing jar. A shadow of a much less bushy Aerandir, possibly, walking to and from Foenix's house. Fae continued to watch for a moment and wondered if the shadow had seen her. Hesitant at first, she saw another shadow exit the forest. This time she reconized it as Osero and her heart leaped. She had been looking for him! "Sage, Ombre, come here. We're gunna go to the Centre." Ombre fussed but they were soon perched on her shoulder, jar in her hands (providing light) and headed towards the Centre as each of the three seemed to do.

Quickly walking, she wondered if she could catch his attention before he left. But he didn't know her...still, she wanted to see his reaction. "Osero!" She called out.

Noticing Acia too late to prevent a collision, Osero took a step back as the smaller Aerandir bumped into him. With his hands completely full , he had no way of stopping her. Not to mention that it was a rare event to see her walking outside in the village anyway.

Regaining his composure, the hunter looked over to the lioness Aerandir with some concern.
"Oh.. I'm sorry Acia. I did not see you there. Are you alright..?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard his name being called from behind him. Turning his head briefly, he looked for whoever it was that was shouting him.

Fae blinked at someone taking off faster than..well than any person see's seen. Catching up to one of the shadows, she saw that is wasOsero and was glad he hadn't ran away. She caught her breath and flipped open her bag, taking out her sketch book and dropping Pueblo inside. "Hey, sorry for being so rude. I've been looking for you," she panted and shook it off. "My name's Fae, one of the Aerandir owner's you came up to but you left before I could say anything," she blushed a little. She pointed to her brightly glowing jar in her bag. "That's Pueblo, she's a barn owl/wolf," she grinned. "But I wanted to show you something that I made-for you," she said as she took out her sketch book and ripped out the picture she drew of Osero. She held it up to him, being slightly shorter than him. She hoped he liked it. ^^

Fae stared up at the tall muscular Aerandir with anticipation in her eyes, studying him with her bright green eyes fogged by her glasses. She grinned a little at his expression and lacked words for a moment before she nodded. "Yes. Think of it as an early Valentine's gift," she thought carefully and went back to a calm smile. "You can keep it if you wish- I have a copy."

The Fenthries, however, were staring at this monster compared to them in almost fear. Ombre gripped Fae's earlobe and alerted the girl that they were even there. "Oh, these guys are my Fenthry; Ombre and Sage," she introduced quietly, not wanting to disturb this moment. She was extremley happy inside that the Aerandir had accepted her drawing.

Fae had just noticed this- the fish and spear and rabbits. She grined sheepishly back for not even realizing this. Noticing his curiosity in the Fenthry, she tensed a little. "I got them on the mainland at another preservation," she stated and let her hand down.

She noticed he liked the picture very much or else he would not have inited her along. "Nah, I've been honestly bored all day. I'd love to tag along," she nodded. Waiting to follow him, she felt a certain significance on this island.

Fae followed him away from the Centre, carefully mapping where they were going mentally and watched his tail. She seemed to be in a sort of trance before she yawned and noticed how late it was getting. But she didn't mind. She would continue to follow the hunter.

"Fae, where we goin?" Ombre whispered loudly and tiredly.

Fae's ear perked and she glanced down to her. "We're just making a quick stop with Osero here," she smiled. "He's another Aerandir," she explained in a whisper to the young Fenthry.

Ombre stared again, then let another loud whisper escape. "Oooohhh.."

Fae stroked her Fenthry's heads a bit lovingly as they curled up into her bag, Sage taking his sister and flying down into the darkness of her satchel.

As they finally came to a stop, Fae's eyes widened over the cabin and absorbed it. She then wondered if he even had an guardian.. As he spoke to her again, she nodded and patiently waited outside, thinking to herself quietly.

She looked around the area- it wasn't as close to the centre as the rest of the people's homes were. It was more hidden near the woods. Fae shivered and took her jar back out so she could hold onto her warm Pueblo. It lit up the area she was standing in with a blow glow but curiosity got the better of her finally. She stepped up near the entrance of Osero's cabin and craned her neck but she wouldn't go inside of course without being invited first. She didn't really know what the Aerandir accoustoms were and perhaps she'd ask Alyosha that later. She looked at the many furs near the entrance but couldn't hear the hunter moing inside. He was obviously good at being silent even if he didn't mean to.

Finally, Fae leaned against the cabin and propped a foot aginst the wall. She looked down at the picture she drew of the Aerandir and fell into a somewhat sleepy stare.
