Welcome to Gaia! ::

[Horus sat at the top of the pyramid watching the tribe grounds from below. It was still relatively early in the day that the sun wasn’t soo bad. It often reminded him of when he had first come back to Kemet and everyone had ended up climbing the giant pyramid in which to talk to him. The tribe had come a long ways from those initial days. In fact Horus had gotten taller, gained a few more accessories had a new mate, found out he was actually bi. Seen several new kits come into the world, watched members become grandchildren and had watched some good friends leave. It was a nice tribe and Horus treasured each member, speaking of which the others had to be getting up. He should most likely get up and see what needed to be done.




Persephone had been up for hours already having made sure that her babies where fine and up and Rit had been given a good bye kiss. The last flood season had been slightly disastrous and it had flooded way more than predicted. She knew that atem occasionally gave them bad flood years as the river needed it to stay healthy but this was more than they had ever had before. They had lost some important medical herbs, which wasn’t so bad because Horus was tentatively allied with the elder of Yasashii but the area was needed for plants and for food. She was loathe to send the hunters and scouts further off kemet land where they would encounter deadlier predators.

Ion sighed and rolled her eyes. Right now there was a small little permakit that was currently attached to her tail ribbon and showed no signs of letting go. Iokaste was cute and it seemed like she so sweet and nice but there were times that she had the same amount of mischief as her sister Kore. Right now was one of those times. “um Iokaste.. I do need to get some work done. I need to do stock on the herbs we have left and find out which ones are the very lowest, then I need to work on cleaning the temples.” Ion wasn’t alone in her duties. Persephone had even more to deal with on her plate and of course having a family which included two ever hyper and loving permas made things a bit busy. Still it was kind of refreshing to have a little bundle of energy running around. Ion had to admit that Io and her sister did bring a smile to the faces of other tribe members and they were very cute. Someday she and Akori would have kits of their own. That thought made her blush and stumble.

Io let go of the silly dressed fox when she stumbled. Lightning mommy said it was not nice to trip the other members of the tribe and even if she was nowhere near the other foxes paws or anything like that she was sure that lightning mommy could find an explanation to scold her if the other fox fell. Something about balance and weight distri-something. Lightning mommy knew everything about everything and was super smart. Glitter mommy was calm and happy but always sent Io to ask lightning mommy things if she had questions since that meant that glitter mommy got to tag along and see lightning mommy for things. Io knew it was a game to bug lightning mommy randomly by glitter mommy. She kind of wanted to play that game now but glitter mommy was out right now so Io had to wait. The silly dressed fox was looking at her asking if she was ok and Io grinned up at her. “I’m good. I’m gonna find Kore and everyone else. Maybe Pherein will take me flying if I ask super nice.” The silly dressed fox nodded and walked off with a smile while Io plotted the best most annoying way to ask so that Pherein would say yes just to make Io stop asking.


Rynn was dragging a basket of food toward the temple that her elder was currently on. At least she was pretty sure that color speck was him. She didn’t really look too closely or care at the moment. She had a job to do and she could get around to conversations later. Her bracelets jingled as she pushed her paws in the sand dragging the basket about. The basket was making a pretty deep gouge in the sand meaning she was dragging a heap of sand with her. She was so focused on her tasks that went the basket lifted up from the other side releasing the pressure from the sand she let go and tumbled backwards. Spitting up sand she was looking to give a lecture that would make even Robin Hood cringe when she noticed the basket was now being dragged past her toward the temple by one of Persephone’s kids. Pluto or Hades. She could never really remember which was which but she knew both boys were very polite and well mannered. She knew he only was helping but really he could have said something first. “Hey you feathers and few brains, you don’t just pick up half of something and start dragging without warning.” It was said with a growl but it clearly wasn’t serious. She watched as he grinned at her from around the basket he was dragging. She moved forward and grabbed the other half so she could help him get it to the temple faster.

Pluto just kept helping Rynn drag the basket without saying anything at all. His mother had seen him before she took off for the day and now Pluto was just out and about to help out where he could. The basket Rynn was dragging was about the same size she was so he figured she could use a hand, though she tended to yell when others bugged her he knew by now that it was all a front. She was really a nice vixen and even snuck him and all the other kits treats here and there, or at least pretended not to see when they messed up parts of the fields when she would chew any adult to the bone for the same offense. Now that he wasn’t a kit anymore he seemed to get yelled at by her more often but it was never mean yelling. Maybe it’s because she had seen him grow up in the tribe. The permas could get away with murder around Rynn and they all knew it. He only ever grinned and ignored the words now when the orange vixen yelled. He was taught to be polite that way by his mother who suggested it was a safe way to deal with her and not get in trouble.


Ritilanishia looked back behind her and sighed. Pro had disappeared again. She would have to have a talk with Persephone over what could be done with their daughter. It wasn’t that Prosperina was a bad girl, just that she needed to find a place in the tribe where she could do something constructive with herself. Right now Rit worried about Pro having to much time on her paws and becoming too complacent. It was easy to think that Pro would do well cleaning the temples with hatred of dust, but if the girl so much as saw a cobweb she would scream and run away. She wasn’t good at hunting hating the mess of blood and even following Rit out on scouting ventures led to the young phim disappearing frequently making Rit circle back only to find that she had landed for a bath or something along those lines. It was frustrating to Rit but she did her best not to get mad since Pro’s personality was nothing new and Rit knew the confines of being forced into a position she didn’t’ want only too well. Widening her cirle she tried to figure out how far back Pro was this time when she dropped out for grooming.

Oh my gosh, her hair was a mess now. Making a small whining noise Prosperina rubbed her paws together to get some of the sand off and then tried to take the tangle out ofher hair. That was the one bad thing about flying she was stuck with the horror of tangles and nightmare of sand. The flying was fun but the aftermath was a horror that no one else seemed to get. Hades she had to go and find Hades. He could get tangles out like no one’s business and he always knew just how to pull to prevent pain. Kore would be a good second choice but the perma wasn’t quite as skilled as Hades and always wanted to toss in extras. She hated doing rounds with her mother and just wanted to head home now. Groaning she sniffled and could just feel the sand in her coat. She needed a bath as soon as possible.

Sharrkan stood on one of the the many sand dunes that were scattered throughout the tribe lands. He stood overlooking the tribe not too far in front of him. He had been observing them for a wile now and found them entertaining and interesting. Ever sense he set out on his own he had been looking for a place he could stay and now he just might have found it. He was use to living in the harsh weather and actually found it enjoyable. So to find a tribe out here was great luck. Smiling he made his way down the dune and wondered straight into the tribe.

(Sorry about the lame start XD I really didn't know what to do with him)

Io was all set and ready to go find Pherin when she noticed the purple kit care fox just walking about. That would be the fox to ask about Pherin. "Hey, hey! Freya where is Pherin I really wanta have her take me flying, but I don't know where she is and I'm so bored..." A groan escaped the permakit as she flopped to the side and pretended to look dead of boredom. Unless.... Peeking at Freya she smiled hopefully. "Freya do you know a game we could play instead?" It wasn't garented since a lot oft being adult foxes where always busy with something to to but maybe Freya was free to play just for a little while? Io sure hopped so she wanted something to do and badly.

Ion was heading to the temple making her list in her head. There was always so much to do and make note of. A small flash of white caught her eye so she turned her head. It was a fox she didn't recognize. She looked around for a moment to see if anyone had thought to tell Horus, but she noticed that the elder was already on the way over to the fox. Smiling Ion continued on her way to the temple she saw Pluto and Rynn up ahead dragging a basket of food.

Pluto having noticed white as well had stopped dead in his tracks not used to really seeing outsides in the heart of the tribe. He heard a curse from Rynn as the basket's weight was all on her again. "Hey Rynn look a new fox." He pointed and looked at Rynn's face. It said it wasn't impressed at all. "Should we head over and say hello?" It only seemed like the ice thing to do, and more so it was a new fox here in the heart of the tribe who seemed to come without an escort of all things. The poor guy had to be very very lost.

"No what we should do is get all this food into the temple before it fills up with so much sand that you might a well lick the outside of the temple. " sheesh Rynn did not want to go see the new fox, she remembered being new to the land oh so long ago herself and it was a bit daunting with so many other tribe members around, not only that, but the tribe had grown huge since then and there would doubtless be every other fox in the tribe out to stare at the poor boy so giving him some space would be best especially if it was on.y a traveler and not a new tribe member. Rynn only checked that hous was on his way once she saw that she grumbled at Pluto to get back to helping h haul.

Rit and pros later

Rit winged her way over the sandy dunes scanning for her errant daughter thinking of how to deal with the situation. It wasn’t like she had kits before the twins and her litter with Persephone. Spying something below she altered her coarse to find Archer, Wren and a strange vixen in tow. Flying over them she called out a greeting and tried to find a spot to land and not kick up a mini sand storm over the trio. Landing she moved toward them. “Hail Archer, Wren.” She nodded to the stranger as well but didn’t know a name to call the vixen by.


Archer smiled to Rit and nodded in greeting. “Hello there. How is the tribe?” He was really curious about his mother but he didn’t want to make Sasha nervous. She was already really disliking the sand and heat. He might have to sneak her into the tribe and avoid his mother if Rynn was in a bad mood. Seeing how Rit smiled he thought perhaps he stood a chance. She seemed clam but there was something bothering her. Where they holding her back from something. “Hey Rit is something wrong?” He looked over his sister and Sasha quickly. They seemed alright but it was clear Shasa would need to be to the tribe soon.

Something wrong? Really even Wren could see something was off with the phim. Rolling her eyes she went back to pestering Sasha so Rit could talk to her brother in a bit of peace. “Anyway like I was saying yeah its stupid hot right now but it’ll be better in the temple. Hey hey over here.” She waved a paw in front of Sasha for like the millionth time. The poor girl would just have to get used to the heat. “Geeze we gotta hurry up and get you to the temple or you’ll just be a fox puddle. “Arch hey drop the chat and lets go your girlfriend is dying here.”

Sasha rolled her eyes. She was not dying, not even close. She was just far too warm and needed a break. Taking a breath she flipped her hair. “I’m fine, just in danger of sweating to death a few more hours from now. I can make it to the tribe no problem.” She grinned at Archer not willing to admit how hard it was to move with all the sand in her clothes and just how grimy she felt. Right now she would kill for a bath. Well maybe not kill but she did want to get clean and then sleep for about half a day.

Pros was well more than half way home now. She would find Pluto to help her. First stop the temples to scout out and find her brother. Determined she flew as quick as she could. The sooner Pluto could set it all to rights then the sooner she could just head home and hide from the horrid tasks her mother’s had for her that would make her dirty and a mess of tangles.. again.


(ok I keep getting distracted so this is what you all get.)

Following her brother and mother the tan vixen helped to show some resemblance between the two though it was still hard to really identify them as a family unless one took her other mother into account. Glancing up her brown red hair fell in front of her eyes. Simply blowing it aside as best she could without stopping Serenity wondered what this trip was really going to be like. One mother seemed semi excited and yet a tad nervous and the other, well she was as despondent as normal. Sometimes Serenity didn’t really understand how her flying mother could function always being so withdrawn from things yet making sure to kiss or nuzzle her mate randomly as such things were apparently expected. She just didn’t understand that all the time but should she ever find her own mate she supposed it would be clear. If not she could ask Sasha to explain it. She doubted Asche would really give an explanation she could comprehend. Realizing she was falling behind Serenity twitched her tail and then picked up the pace to catch up to her brother and mother.


Her light coat protected her from the heat far better than she would have assumed and the winds were not overly warm since far in the sky she was much cooler than on the sweltering sand. Lazily she circled back over her family and mate below. She was up here both to stay cool as well as keep an eye on the surrounding terrain. Her mate seemed quite confident they were going in the right direction and Asche had no information to naysay such a thing, however she did want to memorize what this place she was going to be living in was like. So far it seemed a vast pile of shifting sands with small little dots of green that turned out to be called oasis. They were perhaps the only safe thing out here and even the water held possible danger of attacking creatures. Asche didn’t really have any fear of such things due to the common sense nature of staying safe as well as the fact her mate was familiar with this land. It simply meant that she listened to her mate’s advice on matters and made certain to remember them for future use. Peering down she kept track of the children’s progress following right along behind Sasha. Sosuke was easy to spot with his light fur but Serenity nearly blended as well as her mother.

Horus vaguely remembered in his youth when the tribe had been flourishing and rather large. Mostly of those days, he remembered the chaos and the sand invading, swallowing up others as a modeity vented his rage. To him, he still remembered getting the call to start the tribe, gathering those small few. A good chunk of them had left over the years, including his mate at the time. Still time gave away to families, and then their families. Every time he looked the tribe was bigger. He was truly overwhelmed at times. Often Persephone and kaname mentioned he should bring on a Beta. However beta normally meant child, and there was only one Fox he wanted to have children with. Still now days bcr’s didn’t mean intimacy and he toyed with the idea of maybe asking his deity to add in a good word with the modeity of fertility. With his luck though, and considering what modeity ascended him, maybe he was just doomed to hand betaship to eirene and her children.

“Horus…. Horus…”

Mmm that was queue to get his head away from his thoughts and go be elder. Wondering what needed his attention, he walked out of his living space and out to where he could see the tribe proper. Cheering was spreading through a good chunk of his tribe members. It was obvious to see the cause as he walked out into the light. The Iteru had finally flooded. It had been a little bit late this year, but finally it was time for celebration, dancing and honoring… well honoring family. He would have to check in with his priests and scribes to see everything they had planned. Plus it would be good to have everyone get familiar with all the new additions and to check on some of his foxies who weren’t doing the best in the mental health department.

“Well by now we don’t need me to announce it but due to tradition, let the Feast of Anket begin.” Horus spoke up. It may be partying for the others, but being the elder was a never ending job. Time to go be social.
