It had been forever since he was last in these woods, his young mind making the time seem longer then it acctualy had been. Cyn stoped and turned to him, "Ok, they should be that way a little more, but this is as far as I'm going so your gonna have to go the rest of the way on your own," Cyn bent down and looked over the leg once more. "It's sealed against water but it's prolly best if you don't dunk it too often anyways, and for God's sake don't get too rough with it or we'll have to replace it again. K?" Chane nodded, Cyn stood and patted the young taur on the head. "Good then, I'll come by occasionaly to see if you've grown enough to replace it! Till then." Cyn waved and walked back the way they had came.
Chane looked about nervously but continued in the direction that Cyn had indicated. Madness_insanity Tempest layed on low, thick tree brach, her tail swinging lazily off the side. She had her eyes closed, like she often did, but she was still awake. Her ears were perked up as she was listening to the sounds of the forest. Suboshi-sama Siaru was feeling particularly bored today. Finding nothing better to do, he started following a squirrel.
It was rather challenging since there was more than one squirrel, but if he ended up following the wrong one, well, no one would notice. Moriadhath Kellyn had been resting in the forest and her ears twitched as she heard voices from nearby. Waking up she rose to her feet, wary of what could be lurking in the trees. Moving towards the sound of the voices she peeked around a tree her eyes glinting curiously. C.y.n. Chane paused, imagining he had heard something move in the bush. He waited, then hearing nothing more continued on... Seiei Rio shook the sand out of his hair. 'Why is this stuff so hard to get out?' he wondered. He was only at the beach for an hour or two. He rubbed his legs. "That salt water is grose!!" he said alowed and trotted to the stream and washed himself. Madness_insanity Tempest stretched as she heard some voices. She figured she would check it out. She yawned and her right paw slipped, causing her to fall. She managed to land on all fours with a loud thud. She whinced as the pain shot up her legs, "Ughhhhh." Suboshi-sama Siaru stepped out of a bush, having lost track of ALL of the squirrels.
Apparently they don't like being followed. Who knew? C.y.n. Chane started at the sudden noise, he quietly picked up a nearby stick and held it in front of him ready to meet the danger face on. Moriadhath Kellyn still was peering around the tree. Seeing nothing she crept around and headed closer. En route she heard a noise, almost as if someone was hurt. Picking up her hooves she trotted closer to the sound to see if anything was the matter. Madness_insanity Tempest waited a few seconds for the pain to lighten before she walked off in the direction of an unfamiliar smell. It led her to a young taur. She smiled at his little stick. The boy had an odd leg, like nothing she had ever seen. She walked a little closer to him, "Hello there." Suboshi-sama Siaru picked the last of the leaves and twigs out of his hair, and looked around his surroundings to see if there was something to do here. No, no, no, n-..wait..
Blinking, he looked down at the small figure in front of him. A young centaur with what looked like a..metal leg? stood, brandishing a stick, looking as if he was ready to take down a monster.
"Uhm.." Seiei Riome splashed in the non salty watter and washed the sadn out of his hair and the salt away. When he got out he streatched in the sun glowing through the trees. He yawned and went looking for someone to talk to. Moriadhath Kellyn appeared from the the side and saw a group of 'taurs. Meandering over she saw one of the 'taurs had a strange leg. He was older than her, in fact all the 'taurs there were. Feeling slightly intimidated she backedup slowly. C.y.n. Chane lowerd the stick slightly, caught off guard by the apperance of a centaur and a cattaur in lieu of something more dangerous.
"... hello... um..." he said uncertainly, then added, "Hi," just for good measure. Seiei RIo walked over to the group of taurs with his hands behind is head. He saw something sine in the light and looked at in very confused. He looked at the taurs around it. One of them was Tempest. His heart skipped a beat and he snuch up behind her, hugging her when he was close enough. Then looked at the little centaur wit an odd leg. Madness_insanity "Hi Siaru", she said and looked to the young taur, "I havn't seen you around before. I'm Tempest." She offered, crouching to get a better look at him. Suboshi-sama "Hi Tempest," Siaru replied, "I haven't seen you around in awhile." Turning his attention to the younger 'taur, tilting his head slightly as he examined his leg.
"Hello." Seiei Rio fell over as Tempest bent down. "Oomph" He uttered as he hit the ground and a rock. 'Ow..' he thought 'Are rocks lin love with my head or something?' He asked himself. Madness_insanity She stood her full height again and held Rio's hand. "Hey Rio. I hope all of us arn't scarring the little guy." C.y.n. "Tempest? That's a funny name for a cat," he smiled, attention drifiting between the two taurs, then to a new taur with a green coat, and back to the first two again. All their eyes rested upon his false leg he shifted his weight in an attempt to hide it. Then unexpectidly the green taur toppled over, Chane burst out laughing. Madness_insanity She giggled and held Rio's hand tighter, hoping he wouldn't get angry at the taur for laughing, afterall it was funny. " It's not, I like, it's pretty. What's your name?" she asked him. Moriadhath Kellyn watched the scene unfolding before her from the cover of a tree. So many 'taurs made her a little nervous. Gathering up a little courage she inched closer to the group until she was visible. C.y.n. "Chane," he droped the stick he'd been holding. Seiei Riome looked at the litte taur that was laughing at him. "It's not funny!" he glared at him "She just bent down as I hugged...her..." He snickered lightly 'And re hugged Tempest. "And isn't she pretty, Chane?" He looked at Chane and smiled Madness_insanity She nudged Rio and whispered, "stop, don't tell him that," Blushing she added, "you are gonna scare him." Something moved she noticed from the corner of her eye, another taur. She nodded to the small girl. C.y.n. "I've never seen a cattaur before, they're just as pretty as I've always heard," he trailed off at the end, feeling slightly overwelmed. Seiei Rio blinked at Tempest "Do you want me to tell him your ugly and lie to him?" He asked and brushed his lips against hers. Moriadhath Kellyn saw the older girl nod and her and edged over to where she was standing. As she hadbeen listening to them talk she knew the other's name was Tempest. "Hi," she began shyly. Seeming to get over her shyness slightly inthe presence of the older taur. Caitlyn Hellstorm Darrin trots into the forest with his makeshift wooden spear, twirling it around boredly but he stops when he hears voices, leaves rustling due to movements and he narrows his brownish-amber eyes to slits. He brings his lion part of the body down to teh ground and scuttles toward the sources of the sounds sneakily. What is going on? is there any party going on that I am not invited to? He thinks to himself and becomes agaited. He stops inside of the bushes and peeks out, blinking to see a group of 'taurs surrounding this.....freak? Madness_insanity "Well he can form his own opinons..." she started and trailed of after he called her pretty, "Yes, well, thank you." she ended, blushing.
"Hello little one." she smiled, "What's your name?"She asked the small taur. Moriadhath Kellyn watched the other 'taurs carefully, making sure none of them were dangerous. When Tempest smiled at her and asked her name, Kellyn couldn't help but smile back, deciding that the cattaur was not dangerous. She didn't really know what a cattaur was yet, but he felt that Tempest could be trusted. "I Kellyn." she replied. "'taur hurt?" she wasreferring to Chane, but lacked the vocabulary to make her question more clear. Seiei Rio looked around "Um...Tempest..." He poked her "Where are these little taurs coming from?" He thought is was odd to have 3 come out of nowhere. Madness_insanity "Hi Kellyn, I'm Tempest." She thought about how to answere that, Chane didn't look hurt but he lacked an actuall leg there, "No, he's not hurting now."
She frowned, "Well I like children." C.y.n. Chane lay down, the joint where his fake limb started was feeling a little sore from all the walking. He was surprised when the smaller taur asked if he was hurt and stuttered his reply, "N-no... just a little sore..." Caitlyn Hellstorm The rustling comes from the bushes, closely followed by a pained growl when a small sharp piece of wood got stuck in his paw. "RAWWWWWWWRRRRRR!!!!" He screeches as he accidently knocked over the hive of bees. He bursts out with his arms flailing around while the angry buzzing of the bees announces that they are coming. "RUUN!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVES!!" He screams as he darts toward the lake. Seiei Rio laid down and pulled Tempest down too. "Well they pop up like..." his eyes got wide "Shrooms!!" He said and plucked one of the shrooms nfrount of him pulling a little piece off it and putting it in his mouth. Moriadhath Kellyn nodded at Tempests answer to her question, then frowned when CHane himself spoke. "Why hurt?" she asked him, moving away from Tempest to go a little closer to him, looking at his leg. There was another reason she was moving away from Tempest, the green 'taur sort of scared her and she wasn't sure about him. Starting as she heard a roar in the forest, she grabbed at the closest 'taur which happened to be Chane. C.y.n. Chane started at the shouts, he almost bolted but was held back by the smaller taur. Nervous he looked to the older taurs. Seiei RIo rolled his eyes thinkng 'What did that idiot do this time?' The shoom hadn't taken effect like last time. He looked at it and blinked at the not purple shroom like the last one was. "Oh well..." He saighed and put the rest the shroom down. Madness_insanity "Is that Darrin's voice?" She asked Rio, holding in her laughter seeing as the little ones were scarred. She crouched near them, "It's okay, Rio can go check it out," she said looking toward Rio. Seiei He get back up and walked towards the roar. "It's your fault if I get hurt!' he looked a Tempest and laughed. He abbruptly cut it off and ran away from a roaring Liontaur. "Save yourselves!! Bees!!" He snickered. C.y.n. Chane looked rather confused, and still very frightened. He turned to Tempest, I'm trying to find the village... I... don't remember where it is." Seiei Rio runs in circles "WHEEE!!!" Madness_insanity "Are you looking for Haventree?" she asked Chane, then looked down at his leg, "It looks sore, you should rest a bit." Moriadhath Kellyn remembered she had grabbed onto Chane and let go, her face flushing pink. "Sorry," she muttered to him looking at the ground. "Scary noise....." SHe shuffled a foot onthe ground. "What is it?" Seiei Rio looked at Chane at Tempest 'Gosh...That kid gets more attention that me...' he thought. "Tempest...Maybe we should run from the bees?" He asked walking up to her and Chane. "And sice you look tiered..." Riome picked him up "I can carry you, Okay Chane?" C.y.n. Chane nodded, thankfull that he had encountered taurs, and not what he THOUGHT had been comming his way. Madness_insanity "They seem to be interested in Darrin but I suppose you're right, just in case." She offered Kellyn her hand. Seiei "Gah!!" These little taurs were heavy. "Why did I have to offer to carry one?" He asked aloud Moriadhath Kellyn reached up and took Tempest's hand smiling nervously. Shewas still a little nervous about Riome, but since he and Tempest seemed to be friends she would trust him. Madness_insanity "Because you're nice," she answered Rio's question. "Where should we go?" C.y.n. "I can walk, you don't need to," Chane said rather embarased now. He was tired, and sore, but it couldn't be that much further... Seiei Rio loked at the 'taur in his arms "Shh!! I'm not gonna let yu walk!" He said and looked at Tempest "How about the beach? We can have a sleepover party at the beach! Just the 4 of us!" He nodded "We can catch fishes and crab-things too" C.y.n. "That sounds fun," Chane smiled. He was sleepier then he thought and swiftly fell asleep in the older taur's arms. -------------------------------------------------------- End page 992

Chane had gone searching for breakfast as soon as he woke, and it didn't take him long to find an apple tree growing not too far from the lake. being unable to reach the fruit on the branches he settled for one of the apples that had fallen to the grownd. eternaldelusion Cheveyo walked towards said appletree, and empty basket under his arm. He needed more apples after losing most of the ones he had the other day. He was still confused over the circumstances of that, but he'd decided not to dwell on it too much. He yawned widely, stretching the unused arm over his head. That's when he saw the young kid with...what was that on his leg? Chev blinked curiously, moving forward more, his eyes on the child's somehow fascinating leg. C.y.n. Chane stoped chewing and swallowed, "Hullo... what's that on your head?" he said, pointing to Chev's anters, a goofy smile spreading across his face. eternaldelusion Cheveyo pulled a face, absent-mindedly reaching up to touch his antler,"They're antlers. What's on your leg?" he asked, trying not to sound rude or anything as he gestured to said leg. C.y.n. Chane looked a little embarased but replied, "That IS my leg! It's just pretend..." he knocked on it for effect. eternaldelusion Cheveyo's expression turned into one of interest as he knealed down by Chane, put his basket down, and leant forward to get a better look,"But...why? Does it move, even?" Cheveyo knew little about all of that. C.y.n. Chane lifted his leg, bending it at the joints, "I can't swim or jump a lot with it though. Cyn said it's human magic," he whispered this last part like it was a huge secret and he wasn't supposed to tell. eternaldelusion Cheveyo's eyes widened a fraction."Magic?" Humans has magic? He's have to ask that Ed woman about that. He blinked and touched the leg lightly, staring at it in amazement. "Wow...sucks about the no swimming or jumping, though." C.y.n. "I can, just not too much..." Chane finished his apple and tossed the core away. "Can I feel your antlers?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo blinked, then shrugged and tilted his head down a little, so Chane could reach,"Go ahead. Don't make a habit of it though, my antlers are special to me." Even if they were incredibly annoying at times. C.y.n. "Hey! They're kinda soft!" His eyes widend with facination. "Your not a centaur... I've never seen a centaur with antlers!" eternaldelusion Cheveyo laughed softly,"I'm a cervitaur. Don't tell me you've never heard of a cervi." He smiled at Chane,"Have I asked you your name yet, kid?" he asked, after realizing he hadn't caught it yet. C.y.n. Chane shook his head, "No, I don't remember too much from before I got hurt," it looked like he had lost his train of thought for a second then caught it again, "My name's Chane! Who are you?" eternaldelusion "I'm Cheveyo," the cervid said, nodding and still smiling. He bit his lip and eyed the leg again,"How did it happen, if you don't mind me asking, Chane." He shifted awkwardly, never being good at asking such questions. C.y.n. "I wandered off by myself and got attacked by a stalker. He only did this," he pointed to his chest, "and this," he pointed to his left eye. "I shattered my leg trying to get away... then..." he trailed off. eternaldelusion Cheveyo winced,"Oh." He reached out to touch the scar on his chest, but stopped and let his hand drop,"And what?" he asked lightly, looking concerned for the young centaur. Poor thing. He was way too young to have to experience that. Seiei Rio burst onto the beach and fell on his face, getting a mouth full of the sun warmed sand. He lifted his head and sputtered" PhhhhH!!" he sapat and rubbed his tounge with his teeth. He stood up on shaky legs and walked carefully to where the other 'taurs had been, not to far down the beach. Well he saw chane's leg glimmer so it couldn't be to far... could it? C.y.n. "Then I don't know," He replied honestly, "there was this bright light and the stalker left. There was a taur there, she must have been a cervitaur because she had a big antler on her head.... she was so pretty... even prettier then a cattaur!" He smiled, "After that I don't know." Seiei Rio stummbled in the cursed sand. He always sunk in the yellow glimmering sand for some reason. It seemed like a forever till he finally got within hearing range. He heard something of something being prettier than a cattaur. He snorted at the thought of anything being prettier than Tempest, and walked closer to the two. eternaldelusion Cheveyo blinked,"A antler. As in, only one?" His stomach lurched in an excited way. He'd been waiting for any sign that someone might know something about them. Finally, he might have something! C.y.n. "Riome!" Chane pranced over to the other centaur and pointed back towards the tree, "Look apples! Would you get one of the big ones off the tree for me?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo sighed and looked annoyed. This was important! He blinked and looked up at the sun,"Damn..." he stood up, deciding to disappear while Chane was distracted. Seiei "Apple!!!" He said happily sounding like a three-year-old "I'd love to get both of us some!" He smiled a Chane and trotted to the tree reaching up at the apples and plucking a few. He bend down, his arms full of the delicious fruit, and dropped them gently on the ground handing Chane one and munching on another himself. "So how are you today, little one?" he asked between bites C.y.n. "Thanks," he said taking the apple, "Cheveyo, do you wan'na... hey... he's gone!" Seiei Riome rolled his eyes. "He does that from time to time..." He said looking at the child. "Did Tempest ever comeback while I was gone?" He asked. "I kinda wanted to have that sleepover... didn't you?" C.y.n. "Yeah it sounded like fun! I havn't seen Tempest since yesterday though. Maybe we could find her and have a sleepover tonight?" Seiei "Hopefully..." he jabbed Chane playfully, wondering if her might have a little 'taur to take care of one day. "So... Do you wanna go find some food for tonight then? I mean just in case?" C.y.n. "Yeah!" Chane dropped his half eaten apple onto the grass, "Maybe we'll find Tempest too!" Seiei He nodded happily. "Chane, What do you think of Tempest and me?" He asked picking the apples up and standing. 'Why oh why didn't I bring a basket?' He wondered to himself as he asked Chane. C.y.n. "Your both pretty silly," he smiled. "What kind of food are we looking for?" Seiei "Silly how?" he asked tilting his head to one side. "And Berries, fruit, maybe a fishy for Tempest?" C.y.n. "You fall down a lot," Chane smiled, "and Tempest hangs out with you!" His eyes widend, "We can't hold all that with just our hands..." Seiei "Well... It's Tempest fault I fall a lot!" He twitched "And we can get a basket for the fruit! My house isn't to far away..." He smiled. C.y.n. "K!" he following the older taur, "How does she make you fall? Does she trip you? That's not very nice! Why do you hang out with her if she does that?" Seiei "Well...First I hug her and then She either bends down or I slipp cause her body in so..." He blushed slightly and looked at Chane "Oh nevermind..." Riome said as he walked at a good pace to his house. "Do you think I'd...er...Be a good dad, Chane?" C.y.n. A relization came over him and Chane stoped dead. "You..." he giggled, "you!" he practicaly fell to the ground in a laughing fit. "You, and her... and little fluffy... HAHAHAHA... CAT-CENTAURS!" Chane couldn't help himself, the mental image of those two with a little litter of bouncing babies was too much for him, and on top of that he couldn't even decide what the babies would LOOK like. Seiei He twitched and hit him with an apple. "I just wanted a simple yes or no..." He said angerly. "I Mean half would look like Tempest and the other half like me... Just with wierd fur... Right?" C.y.n. Chane callmed down a bit, still rubbing his head where the apple hit and giggling softly, "I think you'd be a great dad.. but... maybe you should consider adopting!" he burst into another fit of laughter. Seiei Riome fwaps him. "Do you have any parents?" He asked annoyed at his rudeness. 'Wait... was that how I was?' he asked himself. C.y.n. Chane grew suddenly sober, "I... I can't remember," He addmitted, "somewhere..." Seiei "Then you shouldn't say anything now. should you?" He looked at the little sad thing below him feeling guilty "But if you want.. Me an Tempest can be your parents..." C.y.n. Chane stared up at Riome, confused as to what the older taur could have ment by the first part of his statement. Then he imagined his mother as a robo-taur and burst into a fresh bout of giggles. Seiei Riome looked at the little on. "You giggle alot...and do you want a temperary mom and dad or not?" He asked again. C.y.n. "Well your silly!" he relpied, then nodding, "I'd like that, but shoudn't you ask Tempest first?" Seiei "um...er...Maybe?" He said softly "I think it'll be okay with her...She likes little kids..." he sighed. 'Why do little kids have to be so questionative...?' he wondered C.y.n. Chane nodded, "I wonder where she is anyways.... how do you catch fish? Seiei "..." Silence "I don't know..." C.y.n. Chane looked a little conserned for a moment then decided, "well I guess we're just going to have to get Tepest to teach us!" he smiled, "and now we can get berries!" -------------------------------------------------------

Start page 1010 -------------------------------------------------------- eternaldelusion Cheveyo sung softly under his breath, smiling as he rocked the baby in his arms from side-to-side. He'd been shocked when that human girl, Ed, had dumped a rather queer baby on him. Well, asked him to babysit, but it was generally the same thing. Apparently, the horned and winged infant was her son, Garius. Or Gary. Seiei Rio stalked out from behind Chev, Looking over his shoulder and peered at the thing in his arms. Unexpectantly he blurted out a loud "HELLO!!" And bounced about. "What is that in your arms?" he asked quietly and sat down. Natural.Flaw Corde wandered through the forest again, for lack of anything better to do. He had been down on the beach collecting small shells, he had made himself a necklace, and weaved a new tie for his hair. He had learned a lot of new useful things since he'd been here. But, he still didn't remember his name. eternaldelusion The baby shrieked in fear at the sudden loud noise and Cheveyo yelled something rather inappropriate."RIOME! HE WAS ASLEEP!" Oh yes, that is really going to help, yelling. Chev glared at Riome and continued to rock the baby until it quieted down. Then he said. "If you must know, it's a human baby. Ugly, isn't it?" He never knew human children had dark blue stubs of horns and leathery wings, but yeah. C.y.n. Chane had just finished gathering berries in a basket that had taken from Riome's house. He'd gathered a fair amount and was looking for somewhere to rest and snack. He caught a glimps of another taur cuddling a smaller creature in it's arms and headed over... "Hello?" he said uncertainly. eternaldelusion Cheveyo blinked and looked to Chane."Oh, hey Chane." He remembered him by his leg. He looked down at the baby again, which was sniffling and hiccuping softly, staring at Chev with wide, red eyes, sparkling with tears. Since when did humans have red eyes? Natural.Flaw Corde climbed up a tree and fiddled idly with his new necklace. He leaned against the tree trunk, looking around the area to see if anything interesting was going on. Seiei Rio laughed. "Yes why don't you just scream in it's little ear?" He said looking at Cheveyo like he was stupid. He turned his head and looked at Chane coming over to them. He slinked forward abit and smiled. He returned his gaze to his brother. "They aren't ugly. You have a human part to. Do you want me to call you ugly?" He asked tilting his hed to the side. His red hair fell upon his pale face and he attempted to blow it awya but it kept falling. C.y.n. Chane lost his doubt when he saq Riome enter the clearing, "Riome! Look what I've got!" he smiled as he held up the berries so Riome could see. Seiei He blinked. "You little basket theif!" He said jokingly and poked him. "So how are you, Chane?" He asked as a wide grin spread across his face. eternaldelusion "I am ugly,"Cheveyo muttered as he stroked the babies nearly bald head,"But look at it. It looks like it's half...demon, or something. It has horns, and wings and everytime I pat it's back, it does this," he demonstrated and a little flicker of flame shot out of the babies mouth, making it giggle. He glanced at the other two, the looked back at the baby and smiled. Seiei "It hates you" he said simply. "Why else would it blow those hot flames at you?" He looked at the baby and poked it gently. "I would hate to see hat it does to you when as it grows older. It might eat you or something." Natural.Flaw Corde heard some creatures talking not too far away. He jumped down from the tree and walked toward them, once he was close enough to see them, he ducked down in the underbrush. C.y.n. Chane gazed wide-eyed at the infant in Cheveyo's arms. "It's so... strange! I don't think it's human, prolly just half human like a taur..." he agreed uncertainly. "Berry?" He said offering the basket to Cheveyo. eternaldelusion Cheveyo frowned a little,"No. I'm not hungry." Great, yet another thing to hate him. It didn't look like it hated him...well, it didn't at first, but if you looked really hard. He snorted in an irritated way and turned away from the two. The baby was disappointed, it had been about to start gumming the finger that poked it. Seiei Riome took the baby from Chev. "It's a cute little thing!" He said. But latley every baby he saw was 'cute' He tickeled it hoping it wouldn't scorch himself. he turned to Cane. "...YOu offer him some but not me?" He pretended to pout. Natural.Flaw Corde shifted his weight as he was still crouched in the bushes. He recognized some of the Taurs..he had met them before. They seemed nice before, but he was told..that he shouldn't interact with them too much, so he decided to stay in the bushes. eternaldelusion Cheveyo clenched his teeth, his hands balling into fists as he forced himself not to get angry,"Give him back, Riome," he said stiffly through his teeth, still not turning around. Garius blinked at the green and red thing that now had him. Seiei "Why? YOu said yourself that it was 'ugly' correct?" He his ears twitched as he heard something move ever slightly in the bushes near them. He stiffened then looked at the baby again. He wriggled his finger above him. eternaldelusion "Give him back!" Cheveyo shouted, standing up and turning on Riome, snatching the baby back and scuffing his front hoof,"He was given to ME to look after! You have no right taking him from me!" That, and he'd finally found someone he could talk to, who wouldn't even say anything. Seiei Rio had acoplished what he wanted to. "Wow! I didn't think I could get that great of an expersion out of you!" she smiled and got up, streatching his legs and walking towards the bushes. Peering inside of thier leefy goodness. His blue eyes examiling everything they could. Every movment from the wind to the mice scurrying out and in. C.y.n. Chane watched uncomfortably. Although it wasn't him the other two where fighting over he knew he was just as much of a freak as the child Cheveyo had been watching. Sangaera Shiju Walking along the narrow path, Tundren extended one hand out to touch the bushes as he passed them. The crispy texture of the leaves brushed against his hand, and he smiled. "Such a simple thing, and yet so elegant," he said to himself. He stopped at the edge of one bush because he began to hear voices. What's going on? he thought. Eagerly, he picked up the pace and sprinted to the end of a row of bushes and looked out, hoping to be surprised at what he would see. eternaldelusion Cheveyo muttered something rather nasty, and hugged the baby to his chest. Why was everyone like this to him? Even his supposed 'brother'. God, sometimes he just...no, not the time to be thinking like that. Knowing his luck, when Chane grew up, he'd be the same. And so would the other kids he'd met. Seiei He looked at Chane and called to him. "CHANE!! GET YOUR LITTLE BUTT OVER HERE!" He yelled and looked back at the bush. Sitting down he extended his arm. He hit something, but it wasn't leaves nor twigs, it felt like a human. He quickly withdrew his arm. Natural.Flaw Corde saw them with a child, he wondered where that came from. He made a mistep, and a twig snapped. He bit his lip, wondering if they'd notice him. C.y.n. Chane left the basket of berries on the ground and whent over to Riome, "What is it?" Seiei "Go in there and see what it is." He said simply. "I don't want to...er...get dirty..." He said trying not to let on that he was a little scared. He shoved him in and watched. Natural.Flaw Corde sighed with relief, they hadn't seen him. C.y.n. Chane backed out as fast as he could, and put, "N-no!" he shouted looking a little fightend, and putting a little distance between himself and Riome. eternaldelusion "Come on, Gary," Cheveyo whispered to the baby, moving away while the others were distracted and going to the hollow oak he used as a hide out, which wasn't too far away. He climbed in and continued to cradle the baby. Sangaera Shiju Tundren rubbed his nose. He refrained from yelling out, but something had hit him just now and it began to hurt. After a sufficient amount of rubbing the pain, he finally looked up.
A large, strange creature with grass-like fur? Tundren blinked awkwardly for a few moments before realizing that this creature also had hooves and an upper human body. Tundren opened his mouth to speak, "Oh! You must be...a...a..." He paused, trying to remember what Bryant called himself. "Oh! A centaur! Right?" Tundren smiled and declared, "My name is Tundren! Hi!"
Seiei He looked at the young foxtaur. "Yes. I am. my name is Riome." He said unsure of the child. "Did I hit you?" He asked and bent down. "If I did I' sorry" C.y.n. Chane looked around for Cheveyo, hopeing to get away from Riome and the creature that had just emearged from the bushes, but couldn't see him anywhere. C.y.n. Chane picked a dirrection and headed off, calling Cheveyo's name softly as he went. eternaldelusion Cheveyo wiped his eyes quickly when he heard someone calling his name. He didn't even know why he'd been crying (I used to get like that). He sighed and looked down at the now sleeping baby, then peeked out of the hole in the treetrunk to try and see who was calling him. C.y.n. Chane caught sight of Cheveyo leaning out of his hallow tree and hurried over. "Riome was teasing me and... well... I didn't want to stay with him... Can I come in? Is there enough room for me?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo blinked, then shuffled over, giving Chane some room. He nodded,"There is now?" His voice was quiet, and still slightly choked. He looked down at the baby again, as it sucked on his skin as it slept. Strange, strange thing it was. C.y.n. Chane climbed in the tree, staying as far away from the little baby as he could in such a confined area. He settled down and gave the infant an akward glance. "It is pretty ugly isn't it..." Sangaera Shiju Tundren smiled up at Riome and said, "It's alright if you're just big and clumsy anyway." He giggled to his own joke, then added, "I thought I heard you talking from far away, so I thought I'd see what you were." Tundren took a few steps out from the bushes and swished his tail in the air, turning around. eternaldelusion Cheveyo chuckled."When it has it's eyes closed, it's a tiny bit cuter. Not as cute as you though," he said in a slightly teasing way. "I think..it's one o' them dragons I've heard about. They're not on the isles, but I've heard stories from my mother. It looks alot different than they said, but it breathes fire." C.y.n. Chane smiled, "Maybe it's a dragontaur... are they dangerous?" he concluded, his more nervous side winning out. "I read about dragons in a story book once, or, rather, Cyn read it to me and I looked at the pictures. Don't they eat people?" eternaldelusion "I don't think so, he's really nice, actually." Cheveyo said, playing with Garius' wing,"And, that's what my mother told me, when she read the stories, but he seems to like stramberries more thank people," he said, laughing softly. C.y.n. Chane looked saddend suddenly, "Oooh! I think I left my berries back with Riome! I spent hours collecting those too..." he looked loningly back out of the tree, overcompensating the movement due to the fact that his bad eye was the one closer to the entrance. eternaldelusion "It's ok, he's asleep right now. We can go pick some more if you want, after he wakes up. Or now even, since it's not very noisy, unless we hurt the berries," he was joking of course. The baby stirred a little, but didn't wake. Sangaera Shiju Tundren quickly lost interest and attention as he looked to the left and right. "Ooh?" he exclaimed. He trotted over and picked up a small basket, peering inside. "Oh, nice berries!" he exclaimed. If he were still hungry, he would gorge these berries down in an instant, but he had just had lunch, so he put it around his arm and kept exploring around the bushes. Seiei Riome glared at Tundran. "So You stealing my basket are you?" He looked at him accusingly. "And Chane's berries? Why do we go get our own. Chane would be very mad if you took those from him." Sangaera Shiju Tundren looked up curiously at Riome. "Oh? Who's Chane?" He stopped to think. Nope, he didn't remember anyone by that name. "Mmm...so this is your basket? Why are someone else's berries in it, then?" he asked with a somewhat sly face. C.y.n. Chane made a strange face, having a hard time figuring out how you could hurt berries much less make noise by hurting them. By the time he clued in it was obvious he hand't gotten the joke so he just smiled, "No it's ok, I'll just go back and get my berries later. As long as Riome dosn't eat them... or fall into them... they should still be there..." He nodiced one of the screws holding a pannel closed on his leg had come out a little and started screwing it back in. Seiei "Cause...I don't know! I guess he's a basket thif too!" He smirked and looked him. "So anyways. What kind of food do you eat?" He glanced around looking for food Tundren might enjoy, not knowing what exactly to look for. eternaldelusion Cheveyo chuckled again, amused by Chane's obliviousness. Cute. He watched him tighten the screw with obvious interest. "So...who made your leg?" he thought it looked cool, and reached out to touch the metal lightly, making sure not to get in the way of the screwing. C.y.n. "Cyn," He said matter of factly. "He made my eye and my lung too. I don't remember though... I was asleep for most of it." He didn't really want to talk about it so he left it there. Sangaera Shiju Tundren looked up at Riome and answered, "Well...berries, of course! Other than that, I like anything that can be hunted." A mischivious grin replaced the expression on his face. "But right now I'm full, so I don't think I want to eat anything right now." He took one step backward, closed his eyes, and looked the other way for a moment. eternaldelusion Cheveyo seemed to understand he didn't want to talk about it, and he left it at,"I like it," then went back to rocking the slowly awakening baby. He bit his lip, not knowing what to say. "Uh. You sure you don't want to go do something?" C.y.n. Chane looked confused, "Uh... if you want to, I guess." His leg still hurt from standing on it for so long while picking berries so he wasn't in a hurry to get up and do much of anything. "Or maybe we could play a game here?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo blinked, and shrugged,"That sounds good," he smiled and put the baby in a soft pile of leaves that he'd been using as a bed for Gary when his arms got tired,"What sort of game did you want to play?" C.y.n. Chane tried to remember one of the games he'd learned at Cyn's house, but all the games he could think of required cards, or boards, or some other prop that wasn't avalible here on the island. "I dunno... you wanna make up a story together?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo smiled again and nodded,"Sure. What do you want our story to be about?" he asked, blinking at Chane curiously. C.y.n. Chane glanced at the sleeping baby, "One about a Dragontaur!" eternaldelusion "A dragontaur. That sounds good." Cheveyo grinned and looked at the baby,"And his name'll be, Gary?" he looked to Chane, seeing if he'd agree with that. C.y.n. Chane giggled, "Yeah! And everyone thinks he's evil because he breaths fire when you tickle his belly!" eternaldelusion Cheveyo laughed,"Yes!" he looked at the baby,"And, he just wants to be able to hang around with others, but y'know. They didn't like him and all that." And had the person writing this had been there, she'd have died from the teen angst by now. C.y.n. "And try try to sacrafice a villager to him but he dosn't want to eat her so they live together and she cooks and cleans his cave and they're friends!" Fantasy_Rocks13 Rolande had been sleeping in some nearby bushes when he awoke to the sounds of voices. Wondering to whom they belonged to, the dark red fox kit got up and slowly crept closer to where the voices were coming from. eternaldelusion "That sounds like it's gonna make a great story," Cheveyo managed a small smile, something about what Chane said making him think. But, he couldn't think of what it was. C.y.n. "And a Cervi knight can come and try to kill the dragon.... and they could have a fight and the villigar has to tickle his tummy so he can breath fire to save them!" He laughed loudly at the mental image. Fantasy_Rocks13 Rolande paused as he heard someone say something about a knight and dragon. What were those? The little fox had never heard of such things before! Breath fire? Whatever it was must be fierce! eternaldelusion Cheveyo chuckled,"Not a centaur knight?" His ears were perked as he heard someone approaching, and he glanced out of the hollow of the tree, but he didn't see anyone just yet, so he looked back to Chane. C.y.n. Chane wrinkled his nose, "No, Cervi are cooler," He said, making his hands into horn shapes on his head. Fantasy_Rocks13 Becoming ever more curious about what the other 'taurs were speaking of, Rolande crept nearer. But since he was still just a kit, and unexperienced, he tripped over his own feet and fell close to Cheveyo. eternaldelusion Cheveyo chuckled, then blinked as Rolande made his appearance. "Oh, are you ok?" he helped the baby out, an odd look on his face. Fantasy_Rocks13 Rolande gave a squeak of surprise when Cheveyo helped him. "T-thanks!" he said quickly, his eyes looking up at the cervitaur, wide and uncertain. eternaldelusion Cheveyo chuckled, then blinked and looked up at the sun."I'm sorry you two, I have to get going." He ruffled Rolande's hair and took the baby into his arms, looking at Chane,"Work on that story, and tell me when I see you again," he said, smiling and climbing out, going home. C.y.n. Chane smiled and happily agreed that next time he saw Cheveyo he'd have a whole story to tell him and waved good-bye. His attention turned to the younger taur who had just stumbled into the hollow tree. Fantasy_Rocks13 As the cervitaur messed his hair, Rolande wondered why he had to go so soon! He wanted to get to know him better! But he looked to the other 'taur, whom he guessed was Chane. "Hi..." he said shyly. C.y.n. Chane glared darkly at the younger taur, just waiting for the 'what's on your leg' question that was bound to come sooner or later. He shifted some leaves so they covered his bent leg and turned back to the foxtaur. "My name's Chane, who are you?" Fantasy_Rocks13 "I'm Rolande." the fox kit said as he tilted his head. Why was Chane looking at him so... differently? Had he done something wrong? Being young and blunt... "Why are you looking at me like that? Did I offend you, somehow?" C.y.n. Chane sighed, "It's not you, it's me," he relized as he spoke. "I like your tail!" he offered. Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh... Ok." Rolande said, not sure if he should believe the other 'taur. But he offered a smile, "Thanks! I like your leg, it's cool! None of the other 'taurs have one like that!" C.y.n. "Thanks. I guess," Chane said getting up and starting walk back towards Riome's house. "I'm going home, I don't feel well." Fantasy_Rocks13 "Oh... Well alright. It was nice meeting you!" Rolande said as Chane got up and started to leave him. It seemed that the little fox kit would be lonely for the remaining of the day. But at least he got to meet a few more 'taurs!

Amiliane Marcella just looked dumbfouned, "Umm... Thanks, no one has ever given me a flower." She resited the urge to flick her ear and let the flower fall. It was a kind thought regaurdless that she couldn't use a flower for anything. "This is rather strange, since first meeting you, this is the first time we've spoken." The young teen was floundering for a topic before she turned red. C.y.n. Chane found himself quite bored most of the time nowadays. He didn't have anything he could play with on his own, and he didn't know any games he could play with others. He would have to talk to Cyn about that whenever he decided to come around and have a look at his leg. But for now he just occupied himself by wandering around the forest (never too far) and memorizing all the best berry bushes. Seiei "Why do you blush so much?" He asked and flicked his tail. "Are you Sick or something?" He put his hand to her forehead to see if she flt warm. Amiliane "Blush? I blush a lot?" Mars asked, she couldn't see her own face. She did move away when he reached out. After training she was warry of people reaching out at her. "Thanks, but I know I'm not ill." C.y.n. Chane heard Riome's voice somewhere in the general area, he cautiously wound his way towards the noise, trying desperatly to recognize the voice of the taur he was talking too. He finaly grew close enough to see Riome, though the face of the other taur wasn't clearly visible. he watched for a while, then bordom took over and he flung a small twig in Riome's general direction. Amiliane Marcella heard the twig fall on the ground and threatened the forest, "Whoever you are you best come and show yourself before I start poking my sword into bushes!" She didn't know who or why but she would start searching soon for the thrower. What if it had been an arrow? C.y.n. Ooooh, I'm shaking in my boots Chane thought to himself, not questioning the logic of this particular statement. Smiling, he picked up another small twig and quietly moved to another bush before hucking the new stick at the pair and moving again to a new spot. Amiliane Looking at the quite Rio, Mars decided to make good on her threat once she heard somthing else fall to the ground several feet away. She took the sheath off of her shoulders held it out in front of her and then drew the claymore out. Mars was slow in her actions, letting the offending creature know she wasn't joking around. She moved up to the closest bush on her right and slid the blade in. "Nothing bloody in here!" C.y.n. Chane's cool expression melted away as the older taur made true to her word and started poking the bushes with her sword. "Hey!" Chane shouted, bounding in to view, "You could have stabbed me!" Amiliane The female glared her gold eyes at the very odd looking taur, "I announced that I would start searching. Why would I say an un-truth?" She wasn't shaken by his reaction, she just did as she said she should. C.y.n. "Well Cyn said he'd look but he never pulled a gun on me!" Amiliane The female was sliding her sword back into the sheath and replied, "Thats interesting... but I'm not Cyn, I am Marcella. Do you belive everyone is the same?" She hadn't even asked why he was throwing things to begin with... annoying little child! C.y.n. Chane took a step back, obviously caught off guard by Marcella's comment. "I-I... dunno... I don't know very many people.... I guess..." He looked ashamed, and backed off further. Amiliane Sighing loudly Marcella slid her sword back on her shoulders and gently took a step closer to the young taur, "Thats alright little one. I was just annoyed that someone thought it funny to throw things from the bushes. I tend to not laugh at such things since it might have been a stalker. And please, don't be ashamed that you don't know many others. You'll learn that everyone has her own way of behaving." Mars was rubbing her head looked a little lost, did that make anysense? "So, I've given you my name what is yours?" eternaldelusion Cheveyo made his way back some time later, having thought that his resting area may have been vacated by now. It hadn't. He sighed, but didn't leave again. Just settled for moving towards Mars and Chane half-heartedly. C.y.n. "Chane," he replied still sounding a little unsure. Sudenly he looked up, "That's stupid! Stalkers don't throw things! STALKERS DON'T WAIT FOR YOU TO POKE THEM WITH A SWORD!" Amiliane Marcella grins happily once she sees Cheveyo come into sight but then quickly frowns at him when it becomes obvious he wasn't happy about something. Quickly looking back down at Chane, "Do you think that stalkers wouldn't find it fun to torment someone?" She shot back at him, trying not to raise her voice. eternaldelusion Cheveyo halted and gave Chane and odd look, still not saying a word. Okaaay, maybe he should go before he got caught in the middle of anything. Though, he was curious about what they were talking about, so he trotted up beside Mars. C.y.n. Chane glared at Marcella, "I'm sure they have plenty fun tormenting people. I'm sure the one that did this," he pointed to his eye, "had plenty of 'fun'. I'm sure chasing me down must have been a real riot! I'm sure stalkers can find lots of ways to have 'fun'! And I don't think innocently bugging a friend by throwing sticks is one of them." Tears blinded his eyes and he turned to leave, but instead he ran smack into Cheveyo... eternaldelusion Cheveyo gasped and instinctively lower his hands to Chane's shoulders to both make sure neither of them fell, and to push him back gently. He frowned, biting his lip as he saw the tears. What HAD they been talking about? Amiliane Marcella hung her head, she wasn't ment to talk to children... she was ment to fight. She walked up to Chev and Chane "Damn, sorry little one. I never ment to make you upset. I just get a little too... into what I'm thinking without considering what others think." Mars didn't know what else to do so she gave Cheveyo a pleading look. C.y.n. Chane did the best to wipe away his tears, but couldn't stop crying. "Don't talk about things you don't know." eternaldelusion "Chane," Cheveyo said sternly,"How do you know she doesn't know about it?" he raised an eyebrow, and sighed and looked to Mars with an 'I don't know what to do' sort of look. "I have to get going again." He remembered something he had to do. C.y.n. "If she knew about it we'd know." Chane said darkly, pulling away from Cheveyo as the older taur turned to leave, and bolting back towards Riome's house. Amiliane Mars tried to reach out and stop Cheveyo from leaving her like this but she wasn't quick enough, he left the same way he came. Sighing softly and gently touching the child's shoulder, "Chane, you saw my sword? That is what I am going to use agiast the Stalkers. I wasn't there to help you... I just met you, but I will be around to protect you and everyone else now." The teen tried to just tell him her plans... She didn't know what else to do. It wasn't as if she was like Tempest who rather comfort then fight.

Start page 1179 ----------------------------------------- C.y.n. Chane was occupying himself weaving some flowers into a necklace when he heard a familiar voice, "Hey, Dragonface!"
Chane looked up with a start, "Dragonface? What's that suppost to mean?"
Cyn smiled, "In ancient China you'd call the Emporor 'Dragonface' it was a big compliment... I figured you thought you where the Emporor making me hike all the way out here to see you."
"OH!" Chane droped the flowers and examined his leg, "I'm so sorry... I didn't hear it beep... I... huh... the lights not blinking either..."
"Yeah, figured as much. I probly messed up when I instaled it," Cyn sat down beside Chane and started going over his leg. "How have you been, getting along with the other kids?" Quote: "I havn't met too many other taur..." Chane admitted, "I got really mad at another taur last night too... Marselli? or something like that. Riome is nice enough... he said he's be my pretend dad untill we found my real parents!"
"And what am I? Chopped liver?"
Chane laughed, "You can both be my dads!"
Cyn smiled and shook his head, "No thanks... I don't... eh... swing that way. How about I'm your fairy god father instead. Stand up I want to see if you've grown."
"Ok" Chane said getting to his feet.
"Yeah this leg is going to start getting too short for you soon. I'm gonna try and fix that beeper... go ahead and work on your flower chain this could take a while."
Chane lay back down obidiantly, and streached out his leg so Cyn could get at all the pannels. Quote: Three flower chains later Cyn final closed the compartment and pressed one of the buttons on his watch.
BEEEEP! B-Beep! B-Beep!
"Hey you got it!" Chane said examining the now vigorouly flashing light.
"Yeah, looks like some sand got though. I'm sure you know how that happend but don't worry about it. Your new leg will hold out the elements better." Cyn smiled. "The power generator is running fine but it's lost some energy, I'm gonna hook it up and let it recharge for a bit. In a few weeks I'm going to have to take you back to the lab to have a closer look at your lung. If you're having problems breathing-"
"Relax and try not to move. I know... Can't I go back and live at the lab?"
Cyn sighed, "No. There's no place for taurs in the human world. You'd have to live out your enitre life in hiding... I'd have to hide you! And don't even GET me started on what I'd have to go though if someone found you." eternaldelusion Cheveyo was crunching down on an apple happily, his bad mood from yesterday having passed. He whistled (after swallowing, of course), and pushed his way past a bush. He froze, ears perked as he took another bite as he listened to the voices nearby. He chewed, turning his head in the direction of...was that, Chane's voice? Yes. But, who was the other one's? He made his way closer, curious. ChibiPoet Two voices were drawing closer, one an excited, young voice, the other more controled and silent. "I hope she's here today, I want to give her the necklace," said the younger. "I hope so too, Azure," said the older.
They broke through the trees into a more open area to spy a tuar and human, presumably the 'taur's guardian. Poet stayed back a ways, feeling a bit unsure, a new one for her. Azure however felt a slight jolt of recognition. She remembered Riome's words, Chane, and has a fake leg. Taking a few quick steps forward, but stil more than a stone's throw away, Azure exclaimed, "You're Chane! Right?" One never knew how she'd behave, quiet and depressed one day while blustering and so blunt as to be rude another. C.y.n. Cyn and Chane looked up at the newcommer. "Hey Chane you think maybe this isn't the best time for friends?" Cyn whispered, packing his equipment back into his backpack as fast as possible.
"I-I don't know her!" Then to the older taur, "Yes, I'm Chane, and this is my fairy god father, Cyn."
"Who are you?" Cyn said, trying to get a better look at the new taur. ChibiPoet Poet stepped up behind Azure, ready to tell her they should continue looking for Kellyn. Azure might not think anything of a fake leg, but Poet was a tad bothered by it. It meant the 'taur had been though... something terrible, or had been born deformed. She could deal with the latter, but the former could leave more than just physical scars and Azure was still dealing with some of her own inner scars.
Azure got a bit distracted by Cyn's movement, but looked back at Chane instead. "A fairy god father, how lucky!" she exclaimed, really not too much older than him and wondering why, if Cyn was a fairy, did he look so different from Kristal? Feeling scrutinized by Cyn, when he spoke to her directly, Azure hesitated a moment which is when Poet stepped in.
"Hello. This is Azure; I am Poet. I'm sorry if we've come at a bad time, we're actually looking for a young cervitaur." Her hand was on Azure's shoulder with the tense grip Azure recognized only as 'time to go'. But she didn't want to go, Riome had suggested Chane would be her friend, and she missed Kellyn so and really wanted a friend. She looked at Poet with pleading eyes and said quietly, "We don't have to go..." in that pitiful sounding voice children use when they want things their way. C.y.n. Cyn finished packing his stuff and rose to walk over to Poet, "Um... why don't you two play together for a bit, I want to have a word with Poet." He smiled, and put his hand on Poets shoulder as if to lead her away. ChibiPoet A real worrier, that defines Poet most of the time. She felt like one of those parents who'd tried so hard to raise good kids, but they still get into trouble while on-lookers shake their heads and cluck their toungs, muttering about irresponsible parents. She patted Azure's shoulder, releasing her grip and giving a quick smile. "OK, we don't have to leave yet," she said.
She turned with Cyn, going where he led and hoping that she and Azure hadn't caused any problems in their interuption. "we didn't really mean to interupt," she began to say, trailing off a bit.
Azure grinned, seeming to not pick up on Poet's tension at all as she pranced closer to Chane. "Ohh, pretty chains," she said, noticing them right off. In her hands she held a thin necklace of seaweed which had been braided together much like rope. It was her second attempt and she was rather proud of it. C.y.n. "Ok," Cyn said once they got out of hearing range. "As you've probably nodiced Chane's got a mechanical leg. And, as I'm sure you know, there is no technology allowed on the islands. I just wanted to make sure you knew better then to explain Chane's leg to... um.. Azure."
~~~~
Chane got up, testing his leg to make sure Cyn hadn't unintentionaly broken it during his repairs. "Um thank you," he smiled, "do you want one?" ChibiPoet Poet thought about this a moment, hers and Azure's relationship wasn't exactly in line with what the tribes had origonally intended. She wasn't even sure if they knew she and Azure left the island togehter occationaly. While she tried to treat the tribal leaders with respect, she didn't agree with their treatment of Azure. Or Gideon.
"Azure's pretty quick, she's already seen more of technology than most centaur's are allowed. I won't tell her the nature of Chane's leg, but I will not tell her she is wrong if she figures it out on her own. I won't stifle her." She felt her face getting warmer, she wasn't much for standing up to people, and maybe this didn't even count as that, but she felt intimidated nevertheless.
-=-=-=-=-
"Really?" He did have three after all, why not take one? She looked at his leg as he got up, it wasn't wooden but it still didn't hurt to ask.. "Are you a pirate?" She was fasinated by the pirates from Poet's stories about places far far away. C.y.n. Cyn looked worried, "If she does figure it out on her own then she can't go blabbing to any of the other taurs. I'm probly going to get into enough trouble as it is." He paused, considering the ramifications of this development. "Look, Chane got mauled by a stalker when he was younger... apperantly another taur chased it away but he wouldn't have lived if I didn't do anything." Cyn glanced at his watch, "I really have to go. Just make sure she stays quiet and as uninformed as possible ok?"
~~~~~
Chane raised an eyebrow, "No, I'm not a pirate. I wandered too far alone in the forest one day and a stalker atacked me. I shattered the bone in my leg trying to escape." ChibiPoet Poet nodded, "She understands about keeping things to herself. I'll make certain she understand that about Chane's leg if she figures anything out." She didn't really think Azure would get it for a while at least, and that depended on how frequently she saw Chane. "You did a wonderful thng for him then, I'll do my part to keep the information safe." She really admired Cyn's actions, not only that he did it but the skill required as well.
-=-=-=-=-
Azure winced, her eyes wide. She'd only heard of stalkers, and not a whole lot. Still with the rather shocked look on her face, she bent down a bit to pick up one of teh three chains, her eyes not leaving Chane. "It sounds painful..." she said. "I guess that keeps the bones together?" Splints she understood, they came off eventually. C.y.n. Cyn make a hasty retreat, satisfied that Poet understood well enough for the time being. He said a quick good-bye to Chane and started hiking from the same direction he had appeared from.
Chane was quite used to Cyn leaving abruptly and didn't mind too much. "No. Splints come off in time, this is permanent." ChibiPoet "Oh... I see," when in fact she didn't really at all. She heard footsteps and then Poet was there beside her. "We also need to get going Azure," she said gently. Feeling Poet wasn't as forceful this time, Azure accepted the decision this time. "Ok..." She looked back as Chane and then at the necklace made of seaweed. On a whim she laid it beside Chane's remaining two flower chains. "Here, for the chain," she said, already having put the flowers over her head. The gift was done in that hasty way that doesn't alow no for an answer as Azure and Poet were already making their way to the trees. "It was nice meeting you Chane," Azure called back as she and Poet reached the tree line. C.y.n. Chane wraped the seaweed necklace around his wrist and placed one flower chain about his neck and wraped the other about his tail. It wasn't untill he was done this that ne nodiced a a neat package wraped in brown paper sitting under a near by tree. Curious he went over. The top of the box read: 4 Chane, which could only mean Cyn had droped it off before greeting him earlier.
Chane had a good look around to make sure there was no one else in the area before tearing into it. Inside was a large side bag and a small leather bound book, held shut with a large lock, and no key in sight. Chane smiled. He'd seen Cyn open a book just like this many times back at the lab.
He pressed down on the lock, then swivled it off to reveal a touch pad. He touched it with his thumb and the book beeped quietly and opend. Chane smiled as he read the sticky note Cyn had left on the inside.
If anything goes wrong, or if you have any conserns, just write me a note and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. ~Cyn
Chane folded out the keyboard and typed a quick thank-you before folding it up and sliding it safely into it's padded pocked in the bag.
