Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bix hovered around above Tika & Candace's heads. He was sort of bobbling in midair as he recovered from that crazy mini's Magical Mystery Tour.

His plushie wad of a hand rested on both Candace's and Tika's weird animal heads. "....and then I was gonna say, 'Well you should see how good I am at being a doormat for girls as a MAN too'... but the thing.. sorta.. stole my thunder.. uh.."

He looked at Candace with a blink of his glowing gold eyes. "Too late.. ? Cause you know you said 'oh..you should see me..as a woman'" Bix plushie was doing a woman's voice and thrusting out a hip. " and then the thing happened and ......? Too much time has passed for my uh... self deprecating witty.. banter..?"

Bix.. you are such a loser.

"OKAY!" He zoomed back up in recovery. "THAT WAS FUN."

"Mirror shard... Senga, friend of Senga, LEAP!"

She gave neither of them any notice. Grabbing first Senga, then Shaheen by the scruffs of their necks, she tossed the two one by one at the shard.

Yes, crazy was a good word to describe her.

Bix spied something overing where the mini used to be. What was that?

The others were jumping for it but he had one better. He could fly.

He zoomed in and grabbed!

[SUCCESS!]

Ami thought about going for the shard, but some weird dog with a bow and arrow already had his hands on it, and countless minipets were trying to chase it down. It wasn't worth the effort.

Jumpy, you there? she thought, barely above a whisper.

< Yup, been here the whole time. >

Senga blinked at the curious statement, the trinkets on his antlers jingling as he tilted his head. "What hunters familiar?" If there was a hunter around, or a hunter associate, or a hunter... something he'd chase it as viciously as Robert had chased his tail, but... who was it?

He barely knew any of the minis names, and even less than that what they might have formerly been.

His eyes flickered back to Eris in mild worry, ears flopping forward in attentiveness to her. She was kin after all, and more so than that, their former heir. Her calm relaxed him though, and he settled for simply wagging his tail, content squished in between the Vaisel-turned-Shaheen and Eris herself. At least he was with his clan, even if they were... here. As minipets. In gods only knew where. Now that the thing had dissolved, that was a very good question though.

Just where were they exactly?

Tilting his head at his own white fluff, Senga keened quietly, nosing his flank in scrutiny. "I am fine - I think." He rumbled. "Dizzy." He muttered, casting a wary glance back at the floating shard. Something strange seemed to emanate from it, and he hoped very much that his curiosity would not outweigh his somewhat sound judgement. Looking back at Eris, Senga's ears shot to attention.

"Oh," It felt odd to be called a friend of Shaheen's, but he supposed he didn't mind at all. "This is Shahee -- EEN! "

Wait.

When had his feet left the ground?

Senga went sailing toward the shard with a howl, paws, tail, antlers and all.

This only meant one of a few things.

His protector was insane.

Instead, the miasmic pulse around the shard seemed to make him rebound, and Senga landed facedown at Eris's feet.

"I'm sorry," he said into the dirt, "I think I have failed you, Eris."

The fragment glowed a little too brightly at first, until-

- It slipped out of Bix's hand, hovering for a few seconds, before flying towards the trainee-

- And smacking him on the forehead hard. The fragment itself seemed as confused as Bix as it reared back and tried again, to the same effect. Not deterred by the course of action, it tried again.

Smack. Smack. Smack.

This continued for a good few minutes before the fragment finally gave up in a huff and floated off in the direction of the Breeding Caves, leaving a trail of brilliant glitter light.

Victory was theirs! No time to celebrate, however (not that Shaheen would). She was too soon being grabbed by the scruff of her neck and tossed into the air. No, she had no wings! Noooooo! The war chieftain swished her tail rapidly and scrabbled her feet in the air, watching as the shard got snatched up by somebody else before falling back to the ground, somehow managing to land on her feet!

"Eris." She said, giving the protector a nod. She also would have raised an eyebrow, if it had been possible. "Shaheen." She gave the protector a knowing look, assuming she would know the war chieftain, by name if by nothing else. She held the utmost respect for their former heir of war, however..... "Please don't do that again." Did Shaheen sound...pleading? Very uncharacteristic for her, but not having wings somehow was quite upsetting.

But she was of war. She could and would adapt.

Watching the shard as it flew through the air, she gave her companions a look.

"Shall we follow, then?"

If not for the landing and Senga's general concern over their mental and physical health, the wolf might have found some amusement in watching Shaheen sail in the air and land much like he had, no wings to keep either of them in the air. His tail wagged back and forth, knocking slightly against the chieftains side to make sure she was alright. After all, it was not every day members of the War Clan fell out of the air. Especially, well... as minipets. And with no wings. The voices giggled quietly in his head, and Senga froze.

Gods, they'd followed him here too.

Tilting his head after the shard with vague interest as it careened past what seemed to be a jungle to the Breeding Caves far beyond, Senga rumbled quietly, which sounded much like a woof. A paw zipped up to his snout in morbid embarrassment. "You don't think we become more like... minipets in mind here, do we?" He asked, because he did not want to grow anymore dog-like tendencies than he had to. Yes, he wore a pelt, but that was not the same as being a four legged animal!

"But yes," He simpered, shaking himself out, the trinkets jingling and catching light, "we should follow. Or at least - explore?" Senga looked around skeptically. "There isn't much to see here. Maybe we should start looking for a way out - back?" His eyes lifted as Eris bowed again and checked them both, ears flicking forward in attentiveness. He watched her stop mid-sentence, and when she came back from her memories, he tilted his head."It is fine." He returned, nosing Eris, because paws didn't seem very fitting, and he had to make do as a wolf for now. "We will find an escape somehow."

Somehow.

Leaping up to all fours, Senga twisted to get a good look at Robert - a hunter? - he bristled a bit at the idea, but tamed himself when Eris asked if he was alright. It was hard to antagonize the hunter in that form, as hard as Senga tried. And anyways, what would they do him if they got a chance at revenge? Trample him to death? And really, what purpose would that serve? Senga's eyes flickered between the three of them briefly before he cocked his head and stared owlishly at Robert, holding every flat comment he could think of in his throat. His tail flopped back and forth placidly, and looking over at Eris instead, he asked, "are we taking that one with us too?"

Because obviously hunters weren't their friend, but maybe the Protector had something else in mind. A hostage? Senga frowned at the idea. Something told him that this dog would be more trouble than he was worth either way.
