Kisu giggled excitedly too, the idea of tusks was truly awesome. She hoped to see lots and lots of them. Carefully, she considered her sister's question. "We might can do something if we promise one of the boys something, like no picking on them for a week if they'll make a scene so we can sneak off?" It wasn't the most elaborate plan, but it should work. The boys were easy to bend to their will and they'd do almost anything to get her and Ikura to leave them alone for a time. They really knew how to get on the boy's nerves when they wanted. It hadn't helped that they had painted their faces with dyes and corals one time while they were sleeping. Their fathers had not been happy about that at all, even if they couldn't hardly stop laughing. --- Kurage listened intently to his brother. He was right, Uroko and Nigiri were more than enough to take care of them. Uroko was exceptionally strong and Nigiri could be fierce if he had to be. They were family and they would take care of them. He felt a little calmer. "Well, I'd kind of like to...see a harpie, and I'm sure we'll met soquili we don't know. We don't know hardly anyone yet!" He giggled a little at his own joke then knocked into his brother's shoulder. "I think we'll have a lot of fun," he felt himself growing excited. "We're nearly there aren't we?" --- Tethys opened her eyes and for a moment they lingered on the hulking shape of Uroko. She watched as he moved in that liquid grace of hers and then she squeezed her eyes shut tightly. She had to give him up, and she would be leaving soon. She had grown to love him--grown to want more from him. He had given her space lately, given her what she wanted and yet her heart still ached because of it. It still went on beating despite all the ache of it. It would be better this way when she left. He would not understand, and the children... She balked again at her decision, but she knew it was for the best. She had to do what was right by her. She had to live a little before everything faded to black. --- It was hard for Nigiri to keep his excitement in check. He was supposed to be watching the kids, protecting them--but everything that was young in him wanted to rush ahead and see what was going on. There was too much to see and do, too many pretty sights....and girls. He felt a soft crimson flood his face. He needed to be paying closer attention. He hoped he wouldnt' be stuck at guard duty the whole time, he wanted to be able to enjoy himself and maybe meet a few mares....without either of his father's looking on. It would be shameful and ...well, he could only imagine what would happen if his father's saw him talking to some mare. Mother Nori would never be able to keep his mouth shut and Gun would just smile really big. No, he couldn't meet anyone with them near by unless he wanted to be heartily embarrassed. ((Interact more with Nori! And you wanna say we're THERE THERE now? And I'll pick up Gunkan in the next post so I can play off what Nori says.))

There had been whispers. Whispers that one stallion had listened to and although at first he had shrugged them off the whispers continued. Soquili he came across spoke of a large gathering with a party like atmosphere and Relic was keen just to see what this gathering would bring. Surely since it took place inside territory that was marked by a herd that he would have to be careful but perhaps he could find something useful in these sheltered lands.
Using what skills he had Relic had tracked a pair of Soquili down and was covertly following them as they chattered with excitement about what they were going to do once arriving at the place. The stallion plodded along silently, seemingly without a care in the world. He had placed all his scalpels into his bag and the bag itself had been washed thoroughly before he set out. Relic didn't want any suspicion cast upon himself before he even reached his destination. Chances were good that guards would be watching the territory of this herd perimeter and Relic wanted to blend in. If he had been his usual self there was no doubt that his behavior would raise a red flag.
So he had adopted a more quiet, sedate persona for now. However once at the party he was hoping that he could use the large crowd as a smoke screen to hide his actions from others. There was just too much opportunity to not risk finding hard to locate herbs that he needed. It would have been interesting try and subdue victims but Relic was not feeling suicidal. There was a certain mare he'd like to see again before too long. With Jessamine firmly entrenched as a deterrent for misbehaving, Relic took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He needed to be suave to access the fertile lands beyond. Hopefully he could find what it was he was looking for or at least find answers to questions he needed answered. It was with this quiet mood that he passed by a strange looking Soquili that seemed to stand guard. He nodded his head and spoke a pleasant enough greeting before staring in disbelief at the gathering already assembled. It would be all too easy to go in, locate what he wanted, and leave again but Relic felt compelled to linger and chat. He knew that there could be precious information he could take back to his family about this place. There would be no other real good chance to listen and observe of the strange customs of the locals. Relic felt his stomach grumble and the familiar itch to harvest some poor unfortunate sap's kidneys almost overwhelmed him. He swayed on a spot before righting himself and shoving the impulse deep down inside. He could not blow his cover - not yet at least.(( I apologize for the long entry post )) My Teepee

"T' ties of blood are pretty strong but our herds have no always gotten along..." Mar'liel shook out her dreads, "Well, more like our leaders did not always get along." She was always interested in her families history, especially with the knowledge that one day she would be the one to lead the family. "Malis an' Imogen formed t' herd together when Malis first came to the Kawani lands. After Zandali was born, they had a disagreement an' decided to part ways. This tore the herd apart and there was discord amongst them. Time finally healed old wounds an' Malis an' Imogen patched things up but decided that their ways were too different t' co-lead. Instead, Malis took her family an' a few others an' created the Vitterfolk while Imogen an' Dayunsi took t' rest an' re-created the WillowGlen herd. They have a mutual respect of each other an' work together to benefit t' both of them." She noticed the larger stallion walk up with two sets of wings. "Good afternoon, it is a pleasure to meet you."
"Ah would be delighted t' travel t' ya swamplands an' visit ya home." The troll mare nodded with a toothy smile, "An' ah be sure that a few of t' WillowGlen herd would love t' examin' some o' t' plant life that be growin' there. Dayunsi in particular, come t' think about it." Malis was interested in pursuing an alliance if Guedes was willing. There was a definite connection between the two herds in the spirit realm and she was curious to know if the cultures of the herds would also be similar. The large blue mare flicked her tail once as she considered the thought. "Ya know, there be somethin' we do here where we be apprenticin' t' foals t' other herds t' be learnin' new things from different perspectives. If ya be interested, ah'd like t' talk t' ya about that at some point in t' future."
For a moment her attention was distracted from the Voodoo Herd and she glanced over towards a familiar clawed mare, Kamunyak, was her name if she remember rightly. It seemed like the invitation she had sent over to the Flock had been answered, though Malis was sure it was just a few individual mares who had decided to come over to the opposite side of the river on their own accord. The troll matriarch would have been surprised if the Queen had answered, and guessed it was more a personal curiosity behind the arrival of the Flock scouts.

Calixte stopped for a long, cooling drink at the river, turning to look at her daughters and best friend. It'd been a long trek from their own Herdlands - across two rivers and the great plains. They'd managed to sneak past the village undetected, thanks to their attached camouflage of leaves; it'd been a harrying journey, but she knew it was her job as the Mistress of Ceremonies of the Vanaras to meet and make connections with other herds. The Vitterfolk and Willowglen would be her first, but if she was lucky, the Vanaras wouldn't be the only ones with representatives present.
"Tinúviel, Ithillún, stick close to Lynnea and me," she said, for once using their full names. "And don't forget to stay hydrated, girls - it's very important." Though neither of them had yet experienced fainting or dizziness, the threat was always there; their leaves drew much of the water they drink, and became vibrant and golden when fully hydrated. But that usually only lasted an hour or two at most. Lifting her head from the river, Cali made her way from the banks over to the main gathering, toward the regal-looking blue mare that she understood to be the Elder, Malis. She and her family were more than was promised - beautiful and varied, despite reports and gossip saying that they were all blue and sometimes hard to tell apart. Calixte, however, saw differences everywhere: hair color, length, markings, tusks.
Waiting patiently on the side of Malis opposite the group of skull-adorned and bone-marked soquili, Cali looked back. There she spotted Tethys, an honorary member of the herd and friend of Celegras, along with a few talon-sporting mares, a kelpi family, and a few usdia. It was truly a huge gathering - she could only imagine how many herds were here. At least half a dozen, and the celebration was only in its infancy.
Tinúviel was exhausted, but looking forward to the celebration the messenger had told her family so much about. She wasn't sure if more of her immediate family, or any more of the Vanaras, would arrive later, but it was exciting already. From a distance, she'd heard the hubbub and seen the decorations that accompanied such a gathering. If there was going to be dancing, she would gladly join the party - it was her specialty, after all. Grinning at the thought, Tin stopped for a drink when her mother did, sucking down water in great gulps. Immediately she felt better - she felt her leaves fill out with a tingling sensation.
Turning to eye her tiny sister - well, already nearly a head shorter than her - Tin looked between Ithillún and their mother. "Mom's right, drink as much as you can. Your vines'll thank you," she said. Though she'd never tell her mother she felt weak, Tin had felt light-headed after a long dance practice before. It wasn't an entirely pleasant experience, but she knew what the cause was now; at the time, she'd almost panicked. The dry mouth that came with thirst had been her only signal that is was hydration-related.
Lifting her head to survey the area, Tin looked toward the lake. Were those... fishes... sitting on the rocks? No, not possible. Ignoring her mother's advice, she told her sister to go with their mother and turned back to the lake. She'd stare at them for a little bit, then decide whether she wanted to go see them.
Taking her mother and sister's advice, Ithillún drank as much as she could, feeling the refreshing coolness of it zoom down her throat. She'd never been on an outing before, but she wasn't entirely sure that she liked it - there were too many strangers, and her judgments were going to be a bit messy in figuring out who to talk to and who not to. She spied a few foals with funny tails (children of the sea, her mother had called them, as she was a child of the trees), and pondered going over to talk to them. Distracted, however, by Lynnea ushering her toward her mother, Lún looked ahead. The mare she was standing beside looked huge. She knew her mother was small, but she'd never seen an adult soquili so large that wasn't her father. "Auntie," she whispered to the green and pink mare beside her, "can I talk to her?" she asked. She was curious to see if the blue one, who looked almost queenly in Lún's young, wide eyes, would talk to her as she would talk to her mother - or if she would do the babyish tone that adults so often took with her.
Smiling at her niece's timidity, Lynnea lowered her head to ear-level. "She is an Elder," she said, looking up at the wise form of the widely-talked-of Malis. "Very wise and powerful, moreso than anyone we have ever met." It was true - neither Lynnea nor Ithillún had ever seen an Elder before. Herding her charge to one side of her mother, Lynnea paused to whisper to Calixte at an almost inaudible tone, knowing the mare's superior ears would hear her. "Do you think she will receive us well?" she asked, hoping she would. She had long wanted to meet an Elder of this land; there had been no wise ones recognized by the spirits in her homeland. As she watched, she saw Cali give a nearly imperceptible nod. So, the older mare believed in the power of Elders - she had, of course, informed Lynnea of this prior to their excursion, but she knew that Cali had never met an Elder, either. So many new experiences in such a short time... Lynnea prayed it wouldn't be too much for the sheltered foal beside her to bear.

 Mar'li let a smile grace her features for once as she looked up at the stallion before her. "L'inglesou. The years have been long, but we were also separated at a young age." She said, turning away slightly. "The family has grown since then. We have two more brothers, and yes...children." She stated, giving her daughter a look. "Yes we live in the swamp." Lukou piped up, smiling brightly at him, at the very least moreso than her mother. "We're typically not to leave the boundaries, but grandmother insisted that we come to this gathering.""I feel mother is here for a purpose...to intermingle and work with the herds that own this land." Mar'li concluded, gazing about at the crowds of Soquili gathering. "What brings you here, L'inglesou?" Guedes nodded and bowed her head in respect to the troll mare once more. "Ah'll be lookin' forward ta speakin' wit you again. Tha next time one be havin' foals, ah'll be sendin' a runner." She watched as Malis' attention turned to one of the flock and stepped back to let her be on her way for the time being.

 He paused, and turned to look at the stallion who had just addressed him. It wasn’t anyone he knew or had ever even met in passing before now. That he was sure of. There was no way he would forget a stallion like that. Red and black markings, clawed forelegs, and a mouth full of fangs. He looked dangerous.
A grin snuck across Jase’s lips. My, oh, my. This fellow wasn’t leaving his sight until he had a name and a promise.
“That’s an unusual name,” the head tilt, which he imagined would be charming coming from another stallion, seemed somewhat threatening from this fellow. His heart skipped a beat. “My name isn’t nearly as fancy as all that. It’s Jase. Just, Jase.” He paused a moment then added, “What brought you out to the meet today? I’m not normally one to judge a book by its cover but you don’t seem like to type to sit still for a story.”

Arcturus smiled at the other lad's words, looking a little amused. "Jase. I like the sound of that, it seems to be a nice name to me. Mine is, perhaps, a little over dramatic but then.. that's how my family is." He glanced around as others continued to arrive, taking half notes of the interesting ones for a moment, before glancing back at Jase.
"And why would you say that, about me? My ancestors?" He arched a brow, a displeased expression crossing his face. "I love gatherings like this... You never know what new story you will hear." He was able to say it with a straight face, because it was true... Just, more in the sense of 'a story that'll get him something he wants, preferably a sweet young thing.' But that wasn't necessary to be said. The half truth was true enough to carry the statement, and make it ring with honesty.

He turned his head wondering what would happen if he left. Would the stranger follow? Or would he move on to the next thing that caught his eye?
It was worth a try, if only for curiosity’s sake. If the clawed pony was out to hunt he likely wouldn’t waste time on someone who was leading him along. Just so long as he didn’t let him lead him away from the group. He glanced back at Arc, then smiled, “I know a few stories myself. Or are you only interested in the sorts told to a crowd?”

Tilting his head, Arcturus pondered the other male's words, his wings settling around him as he did. "Mmmmm... And what other sort is there? If it's the sort to have me leave this group... Well I would say perhaps later? There is so much going on..." He glanced around, a thoughtful look on his face, and then back to Jase.
"And so many folk to meet... Don't you also wish to meet the others around?" He tossed his head a little to get his mane, which was falling in his eye, back. "This is a rare gathering of so many... how often will we get the chance to meet so many strangers?"

Teepee
The harvest-moon-shaded mare was loosed upon the afternoon, 'free' - and regrettably so - from her lifemate. Perhaps he would join the festivities later. However, she was not 'alone', for two of her sons flew close to her heels. The mare smiled to herself, spreading her wings and pumping them hard through an updraft to rise and then shoot down to the ground. Word and invitations had it there was to be a celebration, and everyone within any sort of discernible distance was invited for a peaceful gathering.
She mused as she crossed the river below, and trimmed her wings to descend with a light heart. An afternoon of flying with her boys to a celebration, enabling her to make new friends and acquaintences, to gain more information and experience. What could make it better?
'Well, Persephonix being here would make this better, but I would not blame him for not being here.' The thought crossed her mind and dimmed her dual-coloured eyes for a brief moment as she brought her haunches well beneath herself and moved ahead to watch her two youthful offspring. This day was, indeed, superb, regardless...and the missing presence of her lifemate wouldn't dim her enjoyment.
What a joy, flight! Adelis leaned into the wind as he soared through the air, for once not trying any outlandish aerial stunts...because let's face it: he'd done his body more harm than good (and he was recently recovered after his latest stunt), and his family was with him. But it was still so exhilarating to be in the sky, flying.
Something, undoubtedly, he loved.
Adelis turned his dark amethyst eyes over to his half-sibling, giving a low laugh. Though he was younger, Ae'ilvainyx was certainly larger than him...which was, of course, thanks to Persephonix. Truth be told, Adelis had nothing against his mother's lifemate, though he certainly was quite rough around the edges. He dropped from the sky to land near his mother, sweeping his sunset-coloured wings with a few powerful strokes to brake before his hooves touched the ground and he trotted a few paces, shaking his mane in good spirits.
Ae'ilvainyx didn't feel the rush of sheer elation his elder brother did, though he certainly did enjoy flight. It was a cool rush of knowledge and power. He could do something many others could not, and would never experience for themselves. It was a prideful thing, though he certainly felt sorry for those that couldn't. He could empathize...somewhat. As a colt he hadn't been particularly good at flying--had been later in getting off the ground than them, but now he was fairly powerful within the sky.
He landed next to his brother, envious of his grace though with the determination he would be able to meet or even surpass it, someday.
Head high with the gem so much like his mother's swaying from his horn, Ae'il moved forward with his mother and elder sibling as they reached the outskirts of the gathering crowds.
He would have to curb himself. Of course there was the whole clause about not fighting, but it was more for his mother he would abide by it. Still. Banter could be fun, all the same.

 The idea wasn't a terrible one. Sure it lacked a certain finesse but it was still quite likely to work. Normally the boys would be hesitant to do such a thing but if it meant being left alone for any period of time they might just go along with it. "You think they'll go for it?" Ikura asked her sister excitedly. "You know how big of scaredy-cats they can be." She wrinkled her face up at the thought.
While she loved her brothers, they were definitely a lot more laid back than she and Kisu were. Sashimi especially didn't care to break the rules and was more likely to try to scold them than to join them. Even if he was younger and smaller. Sashimi gave his brother an excited nod as he looked around. "Judging by the strangers up there in the distance I'd say we're either there or just about." While he had always preferred the quiet of their little meadow, Sashimi could feel the excitement building in his stomach. He hadn't ever been to anything like this before and the idea of doing something new was both thrilling and scary.
"There might be harpies there though." Sashimi told his brother. He could understand the foal wanting to see one. They had all herd the tales. "Just remember to keep your distance." He warned his brother. Looking was just fine, but he didn't want to see his brother taken by one of the mares. Not to mention, if he got too close there might not be anything anyone could do for him. Then where would he be? Uroko noted the increase of soquili and slowed to walk beside Nori and Gunkan. "I think we might have arrived." He told the two seriously. "We've glimpsed soquili on the way here, but I'm spotting more of them and they all seem to be headed to the same location. If you don't mind I'll go and scout ahead?" Not waiting for an answer, Uroko trotted on ahead anyway.
He wasn't sure why, but being around Tethys was starting to get to him. There was a tension starting to build within him. No matter how much he told himself that she needed space, he still found himself doubting that their relationship would ever be what it was again. If he was less of a gentleman he might confront her to try and figure out what was going on. Maybe if she kept this up much longer he might, but he couldn't bring himself to ask her just yet. As much as he tried to tell himself he was 'giving her space' deep down he knew he didn't want to know her real answer.
 Nori had noticed the trickle of soquili along their journey. He also noted that the trickle had turned into more of a river at this point. The stallion couldn't recall having ever seen so many soquili in one place before. The stallion looked back at the fillies a little nervously. With this many soquili around it wouldn't be difficult for them to get into any trouble at all.
"That's fine." Nori nodded to Uroko as he trotted off. "Just don't go too far!" He called after him. He was worried that they might get separated and he didn't think he could handle everyone without the stallion. "You think he's okay?" Nori asked Gunkan.
The stallion had seemed distant lately. He wasn't entirely sure what was going on with him but he definitely hadn't been himself. Nori wondered if it had something to do with Tethys. He hadn't seen the two of them together in a while which seemed rather odd to him as well.
 Onirigi snuggled his lifemate warmly. "Don't worry love, I think we'll be safe enough. Even if a walker shows up there is safety in numbers. One walker can't compete with so many." While Onigiri hadn't ever actually met or encountered a skinwalker, he was still pretty sure that his thoughts would be correct. Even if he was wrong, well, it wasn't worth worrying poor Akiko. She had already suffered far too much in life and didn't need to worry about something that wasn't even guaranteed to show up.
"Besides, I promised to keep you safe didn't I? What kind of knight would I be if I went back on my word?" He teased the mare gently and nuzzled her neck once more. "Come on then, let's hurry and catch up to the others. It looks like we've arrived and they'll need some help watching the foals.
 Akiko returned Onigiri's nuzzle with a smile. While part of her wished she had stayed behind, the larger part was glad that she had come along. Behind without Onigiri would have been worse than facing the long journey and the strange soquili. She only hoped it wouldn't get too terribly crowded. Although by the looks of it there was already a large group gathering.
"I see that. I don't believe I've ever seen so many soquili before. You don't think any skinwalkers will show up do you?" She shivered at the thought of the deadly beasts. Though she had to admit, she was curious whether a large crowd would attract or repel a walker. Hopefully it was the latter. [Will rp with anyone but please quote me if you want to interact with one of mine. I won't see it otherwise.]

L'inglesou smiled broadly at his sister. "How many now sister?" He inclined his head to the younger girl, "It's a pleasure to meet more family." The girl certaintly did look like them. The same pink and brown features, the same hair--probably the same practices too. Nessie had been supportive of it so far, though she was wary of things naturally. She'd been treated to unkind to accept things easily. "I came to see what there was to see," he admitted. "My mate was curious on the matter, and I had scarce hoped to find some of my own kin here." Nessie had urged him to go, knew that sometimes he grew a little restless--as long as he came home to her, as long as he sought out all there was to know of the Ringmaster and the Bloodmoon Carnival. He considered carefully, "Is there trouble at home? Is that why she wants allegiance, or is there another reason?"

Amiera had heard of a storytelling that people were welcome to attend, and normally she may have avoided such a large gathering but the hope that her own storyteller might be there had driven her to go see what was going on. She'd ran into a nice mare along the way who seemed to be going to the same event, so they'd stuck together. It wasn't entirely safe to be traveling alone so she was grateful she'd run into someone so nice. After a quick scan of the area she was surprised by how many there were who had gathered. And with a closer look, she didn't see who she had wanted to see here. With a sigh, she glanced to the other mare as she eagerly looked around at all the others as well.

Mar'li glanced back at him then motioned her head towards where the rest of the present family was standing. "Two more brothers, Atal'ai remains in the swamp as a guardian...he has five known heirs, but two are not allowed within boundaries of home. I have four, Lukou will be my heir should something happen, while I am mother's heir." She stated, giving as brief an explanation as she could.
"If home is threatened...I have not been alerted to it. No...I believe mother has other motives to establishing connections this far out." She mumbled, turning to head back. "Come. Rejoin us."Lukou watched her mother turn and walk away, then looked back at her now known uncle and smiled once more. "We'll learn so much from this meeting~ Then you can take it back home to wherever you and your mate are. None of us have mates...I think it's a trust issue with grandmother. Perhaps someday..." She nudged L'inglesou gently, urging him to follow back to the rest of the family.Rokh'jin was quickly growing bored of her family's interactions. She noted the majority seemed...distracted. However, it was far too public an event to pull anything stupid. A wicked grin crossed her face as she turned her attention towards many of the newcomers. Perhaps she could find someone...anyone...to find entertainment in. Casting one last look at the rest of the family, Rokh'jin slipped away into the growing crowds to begin her exploration. There had to be a soul here somewhere with like-minded intentions to cause trouble.

Kisu nodded her head. "Yeah, I think they will. Kurage is eager for us to stop scaring him. He nearly peed himself last time..." She giggled a little. "So I think he'll go for it, and if he does then you know that Sashi will keep his mouth shut. Besides, they'll be glad to be rid of us." She let her footsteps fall back, "Psst!" She hissed. -- Kurage's head shot up, "What do you want?" He didn't like that look in her eye at all. Kisu and Ikuara never did something good when they had THAT look. -- "We want to get away, so will you cover for us?" -- Kurage frowned, "And why should we?" He let out a little huff, fixing to tattle to Nigiri when her words stopped him. He listened to her explain about a week filled with leaving them alone. He felt the war in his mind. The girls often got into big trouble...but if they left him alone, really and truly then it might be worth it. "What do you think Sashimi?" He raised his eyebrow. He really liked the idea...but...well... -- Nigiri saw Uroko take off, and he wished that he'd taken him with him. He wanted to be up there guarding and scouting, but he was stuck back here. He moved away from the little ones and up to his fathers. When he heard them talking tenderly, he fell back again. He felt restless, and a little lost. He was at an akward age. Grown but with no mare to call his own, even Akiko had found someone. -- "What's the matter?" Tethys voice came out soft as she studied Nigiri, trying to hide the burning in her eyes as Uroko took off ahead of her. She knew that her staying was causing him pain and that her going would cause him more too. She was at a loss of what to do. She faced Nigiri, she had watched him grow. His mouth was tight, and he didn't seem like he could or wanted to answer. "Did I ever tell you how there use to be a lake over west of here?" She could tell he was paying attention. "One winter, a flock of geese came and landed there. They didn't want to leave their home so they stayed. The lake froze around them, and instead of staying a moment longer they each beat their wings in unison and flew away with the lake in tow." She paused for a moment, "When you work together great things are possible, you can move mountains or lakes." -- Nigiri smiled, "Uroko doesn't trust me," he sighed. "He treats me like a child." -- Tethys sighed, "I'll talk to him." About everything. She took off at a slow canter to catch up. -- Gunkan smiled at his mate, "Yeah, it has been a long time. But maybe we can get some alone time tonight.." He nuzzled his mate affectionately. "And I don't think there's anyway we can stop the girl's from getting in trouble. So as long as they don't set a fire or cause a herd wide incident, I think we'll be okay." [Will rp with anyone but please quote me if you want to interact with one of mine. I won't see it otherwise.---same here, Nyx.)
