Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fanya had wandered out of the caverns, not because of the commotion about the waters, but because the scribe wanted to be away from his work a bit. The sight of Dior had him padding her direction before he had time to think.

"Hey Dior!" He cried out.

Poof, she was there like someone had summoned her.

"Not the goddess of beauty, dear. That's someone else entirely. I'm just the goddess of beginnings. But thank you." She smiled at the lion and looked toward the beach, seeing the glowing waters.

Oh! How fun.

The goddess stepped forward and stepped into the shallow waters breaking on the shore and smiled wide when she noticed it was making her paws glow. Or rather, the area around it. The blue lioness let out a soft laugh and let her wings flutter rather quickly, her lantern shine dimming so she could see the glow of the water better. If they didn't want to step in it, she certainly would have more to herself.

"Come! It's not hurting. The water feels good against your pads!" Her toes wiggled in the sand before she took off, walking slowly while looking down.

"Kamua, please," Anza said to his flirting, shaking his head. She laughed it off in good nature and let her tail flick to the side.

"I've seen this before... I don't know what to make of it, but it is rather harmless. It was so, so long ago when I last saw this. I can't remember where...." Maybe a dream? She honestly couldn't remember too much about it, other than she definitely had seen glowing waters before.

At the mention of a new name, her head looked to the side while her eyes were still on the water before finally looking over to Kamua.

"I'm sorry. I'm very interested in this," she said with a little grin. Then she spotted the scribe, and dipped her head in greeting. "Triton? Strong name. Hello!"

Soft silver sands shifted as Nyaminyami made his way towards the gathering. He had been out patrolling along the shores, mostly keeping to his thoughts and taking in the sights of his new home. It had been a very short while since he had found this pride, and he was still trying to make sense of how and why he was here. The swirling bioluminescence caught his gaze, and he paused, brow furrowing as he scanned the waves dragging at his paws. What… was that? Fireflies? Fish?

It was like nothing he’d ever seen. It was beautiful and mysterious.

Yami’s ears swiveled at the sounds of his pride members chattering and he broke his gaze from the lights, eyes landing on Anza, Kamua, and Triton. The chevalier approached cautiously, eyes calm, and dipped his head in quiet greeting.

Both Lehlwa and Msimu glanced at each other when Jigen seemed to flinch at the mother comment. Both their parents had been long gone well into their childhood.

"Ahh interesting." Msimu said with a smile.

"I'm pretty sure that water isn't cursed. "Lehlwa said sympathically. "Msimu, apologize to Jigen for that. That was incredibly rude." She said to her sister, shaking her head.

"Why, it is just water and glowy things. It didn't kill him." Msimu said innocently, before getting splashed by the other male. "HEY!" She screeched, now dripping wet. "I am NOT apologizing after. after he did that!"

Lehlwa was quick to avoid any splashing, side stepping away from Arsene. "You guys are like children." She huffed, clearly not wanting to deal with the antics of her sister, and now this new male.

(Going to not post my certed images cause lazy xDD)


"No need to apologize. We're even," Jigen grinned stoically feeling the wrong had been righted only to have the grin whipped clean off his maw from Lehlwa's disapproval. Jigen was the more responsible brother out of himself and Arsene so to have stooped to a level he normally wouldn't made him feel in the wrong. It wasn't what an older sibling should do in these situations and he'd set a bad example for his brother. Shame was a powerful catalyst to have him sigh and grumble for a moment.

"Look.. I shouldn't have done that.." He grumbled.

Arsene stopped rolling around from his laughter at the sign of Jigens guilt.

"What? Oh come on now Jigen it was all in good fun. Right ? Msimu you said the water was fine. You're okay right?" Arsene got back on all fours to inspect the brown sister. As far as he could tell she looked fine so he wasn't sure why Jigen would take back what he'd done when he was fine with it moments ago. He reached the conclusion that Lehlwa's disapproval must have been that powerful.

"Well..." Arsene plopped his own paws in to the ocean watching the glow scatter around his paw. "I'm not dead." He offered.

Jigen remained silent allowing his hair to obscure his eyes. It was hard for Arsene to tell what his brother was thinking.



The shells were almost completely picked up by now allowing Bheka's frazzled mind to calm some. He was a socially awkward shy type so hiding behind his craft was the best way for him to interact with others except when it meant that he'd be enlisting others to aide him in picking up his mess. This was awkward and Bheka felt worse and worse about it as his mind worked against him.

But her words were kind and she was interested in him. The gray lion fought back the thoughts about maybe the world was going to end because of this accident and instead embraced some positive thoughts about his craft. This was a safe subject for him to cling to.

"Oh, yeah. I-I-I am a little new to it but I've made a few shell necklaces. I never saw a shell before coming here .. though honestly.." He took a breath as that wasn't SO bad to admit. Hopefully she wouldn't be disappointed in him.

"I.. I .. Um... I haven't had the access to anything besides the Uh .. the shells... I would like to experiment though..." His words grew a little more confident as his mind shifted over to problem solving mode. "Do you think that a shell necklace would mesh well with something else? A-are you a crafter?"

"What? so the two of you are leaving?" Arsene couldn't hide the cub like disappointment in his voice at the fact the two sisters were headed off after all the splashing.

"Let it go. The two of them can work things out among them selves." Jigen growled.

Arsene sighed and felt it was probably best not to argue with his brother so he did as was suggested and let it go.

That was about all the encouragement Mangguo needed.

Before Ren could so much as open his mouth to stop her, the jackal shot off and zoomed into the water, sending glowing water flying into the air and splashing onto everyone within range, primarily Meztli. Hopefully the lioness was right, because now the little canine was cheerfully paddling back and forth.

Mangguo let out a happy laugh, fur drenched and making her look water-logged, "It's like swimming in shooting stars" The lights swirled around her, making pretty patterns in the water, and the jackal continued to giggle as she dove under a few times for fun.

Renshu groaned, paw raising to swipe at his face. Truthfully, he was still worried that something would happen. Just because nothing had gone wrong initially, didn't mean that it couldn't be slow-acting. It was moot point now though. His familiar had run off the second she'd been given any sort of okay.... and to make it worse, had soaked the very person who'd helped her.

Padding a bit closer, Ren looked apologetically at Meztli, "I'm so sorry. She can be a little... excitable, when there's something new." He bit his lip, tail curling around his leg, "She didn't get you too wet, did she?"
