Welcome to Gaia! ::

Selene shook her head slowly, sitting down beside the fire after a moment of consideration. No, this herd didn't seem to be dangerous. Although, they did eat meat. That disturbed her deeply. Priestesses were taught that all life was sacred, including animals like the boar they had killed so unthinkingly. Meat was only eaten when absolutely necessary for survival. When one could, foraging was a better alternative. Berries, nuts, fruits and vegetables... those were all alternatives before killing another of the Maker's creatures.

"No, thank you. I do not..." She shook her head again, eyes trained once more on the stars, "Where are we? How far from the temple have I strayed?" She looked back down, catching the other's eye. "How far from Durem are we?" She was familiar with the large city, having been there in her youth. Her forest was to the west of Durem, easily a day's journey.

"That is good. I have not strayed too far," Selene nodded, looking down at her hands and the fire before she stood up again, "I am hungry."

She was not used to talking to others so much, at the temple most kept silent in respect for the stars. But here, the centaurs were noisy. Almost a cacophony of sound. And it was not to her liking. Leaving the small group, she searched for edible vegetables and berries, finding some to cook over the fire.

Aress munched on a cooked fish as her ears twitched. She turned her head, glancing further inland. She blinked before turning to her fire. She continued to eat her fish, letting the bones rest against the earth. She'll burry them later on.

She looked about, tail brushing up the dirt as she moved it from one side to the other. She ate about half of the fish she had caught and relaxed on the ground as she peered up to the sky. Her ears twitched once more, peering around, "Talking? Maybe hallucination."

Up on the mountains, Ajax viewed the lights of a couple camp fires down in the valley. His black tail twitched, flushing out a couple flies from his tail and rump. He glanced back, seeing his brother behind his black form.

Zeb slowly walked up behind his brother, his own striped form odd compared to the deep black fur of his sibling. He moved to the side of the other and glanced to the valley, seeing movement, "A herd? Probably have a good few kentaurides..."

The two looked at each other before quickly sprinting down the the side of the mountain, heading towards the herd.

((I was actually asking Anju if she was hungry, because I thought Selene was at the lake with the herd from Ganon's earlier post. But yeah.))

Rin shrugged and poked at the meat with a long stick that was stripped of its bark. If the temple girl didn't want her meat, that was her problem. She twisted the stick slightly, flipping the food over so both sides would cook evenly.

She stood and brushed off her legs before moving into the house and grabbing some salt and spices to help the taste of the meat, as well as several plates and a handful of cutlery.

((Oops, I was, too!))

"Durem... no, not from Durem, but that is the only landmark that you would know of," Selene nodded, looking down at the root vegetables now cooking on the fire. She looked up again, watching as the sun started to set and twilight settled on the herd. "It is early still though, very early. I am surprised that I awoke so early, but Mars was too bright. It bothers me," she said factually with a frown. She was silent for a few more minutes before speaking, "I will not be staying much longer, but thank you for your hospitality." Yes, soon she would need to go home... if only she knew which was was home. She hadn't been this far from home--ever.

Kuma felt her face flush slightly as Ganon ran a hand down her back, but her tan hid the red. She gave a quick nod before galloping off toward the bulk of the herd. Lifting her head high, she let out a sharp whistle to get her herd's attention.

"We're moving toward the stream to make camp. When we get there, those who need it may rest and drink." she declared before beginning to trot in the direction of the stream.

Hope sat back with her back agenst the wall with her legs under her. For the first time in weeks she was full and getting sleepy but before she cold dose off for a while she remembered she negeleted her jounal. She brought it out of her bag and simple started to write. In the distance thunder broke out in the sky and for once she was thankful for having a roof over her head. Soon She got tired and feel alseep.

The sun of woke her up first thing in the morning. Looking aound she saw that Tibia wasn't back. No worries. She might as well as see whats around. If there are upwards of five centuars around here there might be more. She got up and walked out careful not to wake up the rest.

Hope walked out into the sunshine. The rain made everything grow again. Ahh Life given rain.. She thought to herself. She realized that its best if she clean herself up too. Looking like this on the road is best but not around other centuars. Hope found a clean small creek that feed into a small lake. The water was cool and refeshing. Somehow it escaped the wrath of humans. The water glamed in the sunlight and fish darted in and out of it. "I would like warm water but this will do..and yum fish for breackfast..." She said in a happy voice. Her mood was up. She looked around for anyone near by and apon seeing/not hearing anyone she stripped down and entered the pool...Thankfull to get the dirt off of her the first thing she washed was her white horn. After her horn was pure gleaming white she went to clean the dirt off her body.
