 Wacheza roamed the ocean, stretching out the growing pains that were just starting to go away. It had, of course, seemed to suprise his mother that he and his siblings just kept getting bigger, but Wacheza had sort of expected it.
His mane was coming in, he was bigger than the other little cubs... yes, on the outside, he was starting to look quite a bit different... but on the inside, not much had really changed. He was still a daydreamer, and his sister Miri and brother Tau still refused to call him anything except 'sweet'. And still around his neck he wore the feather he had recieved from the Goddess he had met when he was younger. It felt like ages ago, but it hadn't really been that long.
She had said she would come back one day, and he was still hopeful, but he didn't wander for her alone. He still liked being able to think, but he had learned a few tricks to not fall off cliffs while he walked since then. And he even managed to notice other lions before they snuck up on him!
...but butterflies still followed him all over the place, as they still did now.

Nix wandered the sandy beaches, the sand tickled the bottom of her paws and she continued on, listening to the waves lap at the shore. A smile was on her face as she hummed a song to herself, eyes closed, head swaying side to side with the song, tail flicking behind her. She was getting closer now, she remembered this place, little Cheza had to be out here somewhere.
How to find him?
A grin spread across her features as she outstretched her wings, sparks flew up her forearms to her horns where they swirled, her silver horns seeming to glow and pulse as small sparks flickered from her second pair of horns that were clad in black coloring.
Sparks flew from her outstretched wings, and with a sweep of her paw a crackle rang through the air, the bolt colliding with the sand, oozing glowing, then hardening Nix watched and then gathered herself, wings pulled in, sparks now faded, she watched as the oozing sandy liquid began to harden.
That glass stone was so much fun to make, and hopefully, Cheza had seen or heard her call.

Wacheza particly bolted back into conciousness as he heard thunder and saw the bolt of lightning hit the sand. Her face immediatly lit up from his usually lost look to a bright smile, Nix! She came back! He got up, fast, his butterfly friends scattering as he ran in her general direction, or at least where he was fairly certain he had seen the lightning.
It was the only thing in the sky, which meant that it had to be her! He hadn't watched every lightning storm that came in thier general direction... not at all. Well, she owed him a game of hide-and-seek damn it! Even if his brother said they were getting too old for games like that... well, too bad!
He wondered if she would look the same... he hoped so, that way he would know it was her. What if he looked too different now that he had his little mane? What if he was too much bigger now? Oh dear... now he was worried over silly things. He scolded himself mentally as he ran down the beach.
He skidded to a stop on the cliff above the beach where Nix was. Yep, she looked the same... and she had made something shiney there on the sand! "NIX!" He called down as loudly as he could.
He almost never yelled... but then, he almost never wanted to draw attention to himself either. Oh well, these things happened.

Nix'Annada waited, flicked her tail and then started pawing at the shining stone glass in the sand, pulling the free sand particles away from it. It glimmered in the sun, and had a twisted icicle shape to it, Nix smiled at her creation, it was so lovely, and so much fun to create. Ears flickering Nix looked up, and saw a brown figure above her on the cliff, why was Cheza way up there?
"Cheza! Whatcha doin up there huh?!" she asked with a smirk and a giggle, he had grown since the last time she saw him, that she could see plainly.

Wcaheza grinned. So she did remember him! That certainly made him feel better. He was, however, also quite captivated by what she had just made on the beach. A beautiful piece of work, the likes of which he had never seen before. He wondered if only Gods could make something like that... what was it? He simply had to know.
"Well... I'll come down!" Wacheza called to her, knowing the area well enough to climb down the cliff face. It wasn't so hard, when you knew the way, but Wacheza was bigger than he had been when he used to go up and down it, so it took him a bit longer to get down. It was well worth it to see both Nix and her creation, "Wow! That's incredible!"

Nix smiled and watched, tail flicking behind her as her eyes watched his form intently, if there was one small slip of his paw and he seemed like he was in trouble she had herself ready to take wing and aid him. Last thing she ever wanted to happen was to have a friend get hurt. She smiled at him as he drew closer, he was already starting to grow in his mane, how wonderful!
Time really did pass to quickly.
"What incredible Cheza hmm?" she asked, eyes glinting in the sun.

Wacheza admired the glass, "This! This is just incredible!What is it?" He asked, wandering around it for a moment before he grinned back up at her, a new butterfly landing on his ear, "I've never seen anything this... shiny." He admitted, finally finding the right word.
Nix looked almost exactly he same as she had way back when he had first met her...how long ago? He didn't recall, though it couldn't have been too long. Still he had a mane now... so perhaps longer tha he had thought...?

Nix's eyes watched as Wacheza seemed so intent on seeing the glass stone, she giggled and pushed it over to him with her paw, its surface already hard and no longer hot from the bolt that had created its spiral form. "Its kind of like a stone, but if you're not careful, it breaks," she said with a nod, though she didn't wish to prove her words by breaking what she had just recently formed, would be a pity to do so.
"Look at your mane Cheza, growing in strong, won't be long until its fully grown," she said admiring his growth, he was truly growing older in time, time was passing too fast for her liking.

Wacheza blushed a little under his fur and looked up at Nix, "Do you think so? I was worried you wouldn't recodnize me because it makes me look so different... I'm glad you like it though. It does look pretty neat," he smiled softly, "Its the same color as my dad's... I think he likes it."
He absently touched the glass, still a bit curious about it, but far more happy to talk to Nix, "Did you find your sister, ever? I remember you were looking for her."

"Of course I like it, anyone to not like it would be absolutely silly Cheza," she said smiling, ruffling it once more before trying to resist the urge to keep ruffling it until she had to go back to her sister's side. "You can have it if you'd like Cheza, I know you'd take good care of it," she said with a smile, pushing it even closer to his paws.
He had quite the memory.
"I did in fact, she's resting a bit further off from here, though I know of my promise to come back, so here I am. Shes doing well, and things will get better," she said with a nod. Rage had been able to smile, which meant the world to Nix in so many ways.

"That's great," Wacheza grinned happily, "I mean... everything. I really like my mane too... I'm excited for when it looks like dad's... I mean, my color is more like mom's, but I have dad's eyes and mane so... I guess I sort of look like them both a bit..."
He looked even happier still when she said he could keep the glass, "Really? I can keep it?" He looked down at it, sparkling in the sun, "My broths and sisters will love this! I'll make sure they don't break it or anything though... because it's so pretty, I've never seen anything like it before." He looked back up at her, "I'm glad you found your sister Nix. If I lost Miri or Tau... I don't know what I'd do. We're all best friends... I would look all over the world if one of them went missing!"

"I can't remember my family in great detail, though I believe I am a perfect mix of my father and mother," she said with a nod, "though my sister and I look nothing alike, we are bound by friendship, not blood, though she will forever be my sister," she said smiling, Rage meant everything to her, no matter how far apart they would be, they would always have each other no matter what.
"Of course, take good care of it, though I know you will, its very special," she said smiling, she felt the breeze on her back, it was growing colder, she'd need to head back soon, rest with Rage, they both got cold during the night.
"I'm sure that you would find them if they ever strayed away."

"I'm sure I would, just like you found your sister," Wacheza grinned, "If she's as nice as you are, I'd love to meet her sometime. She must mean an awful lot to you, sinec I guess she's your only family."
He sat down, looking thoughtful as he so often did, "I mean... does it really matter if you aren't related by blood? I think that it would be way more important to really care about your family than it is to be related to them. I mean, my brother Aku and I fight all the time... we're still family, but I have friends who I'll probably always care about more than him. I still love him... because he is related by blood... but not in the same way," he tilted his head, trying to get the information out in the way he wanted to, "You know what I mean?"

"She is...at certain times, she has a problem controlling her powers sometimes, but she's usually fine," she said, thinking back to the times when she and Rage were cubs, and Rage would fall into fits of Rage. Nix would have to try and literally shock her out of it, and she hated the burns she created on Rage's skin that sometimes remained for weeks and eventually healed over. "Perhaps sometime I'll bring her here to visit, she might like the see the waves here."
Nix listened, and understood, Cheza actually understood hte concept quite well, "Yes, that happens a lot and its normal."

Wacheza smiled, "Yeah, I guess it does... black sheep in every family, I think was what my dad called it." He turned and looked over the ocean, "You should bring her here. I think she might like it... the waves, when you listen to them... you could just fall asleep..." He closed his eyes and listened for a moment, another butterfly coming back to him.
"I think that it's the most beautiful place in the world... well... no, I guess I've never been anywhere else really... but I... it's just that there's no where I would rather be than right here," He decided with a small laugh, "But I guess you've been everywhere since you can fly and all."
