Welcome to Gaia! ::

He lay in the long grass with his companion at his zide, Zebadie had braught a male to meet him, but despite the promises of safty, Gobo was not convinced, he could not be swayed to join compleetly, but he still stayed around, which Palahala found odd. perhaps it was something to do with Zebadie.

Zebadie yawned and got up slowly, stretching out her long slender limbs, She took a moment to yawn before nudging palahala affectionately, she still felt he was like her fawn, even though he wasn't it was a strange feeling. "Gobo." She turned and found that the adult male klipspringer was still with them, she was very glad of this. She wanted him to stick around.

The big male klipspringer yawned and opened an eye."I'm still here, I'v not left you yet." He smiled up at Zebadie slowly clambering to his hooves. "I'v promised to come and see this land of milk and honey that you speak of so here i am still with you." Gobo was starting to wonder if he woud ever return to Galanthus at this rate. he missed the lion cub greatly but his curiosity was spurred by this new land and the meeting of the little god of prebeasts.

The little blue/green, scarred, klipsringer was scared. This was another day she had been away from the blind male, and for some reason she felt he wasn't coming back. After they departed, it was almost as her heart split in two, wanting to go with the klipspringer, but also wanting to stay with the lion. However, Kipofu thought it best she'd be with her own kind, so she listened to whatever he said.

The land that she resided in was nice. Lots of fresh grass and water galore. She had never met the leader of it yet, perhaps today she might've...that is, if she knew what the leader looked like. Her light eyes scanned the area, spotting a few klipspringers in the distance. The female walked quietly over to the others, her ears perking forward and back as she listened to their conversation.

Palahala lifted his head to look at the enw arrival, his soft, doelike eyes smiling. "Hello." he smiles spreading his small bat like wings a bit , his high set ears perking. "I don't think we have met" flickers his tail, his smile ever so gentle towards the new klippy.

Zebadie turned and looked the neew klipsprinegr over, tilting her head in a bow. "greetings, i'm Zebadie and this is Gobo" She points her nose towards the big chocolate brown male. "And this is palahala" She smiles proudly puffing out her chest. She liked to be incharge, she liked to introduce everyone.

Gobo chuckled, he was getting quite used to being introduced by the big stripped female klippy, she was ever so cocky and bossy, it amused him to no end "Hello." Se smiled, his voice gruff though kind, his head held high, he was a proud beast set in his ways, though he was enjoying these new experiences.

The female took a step back when the god had introduced himself. She had never seen a lion with wings before! Was he different? Her eyes were like saucers as the stared at the back wings lying amongst the preygod's back.

".N...No..." She stuttered, "I..I do..don't th....think we have?" Her ears perked forward, turning her gaze to the two other klips. "I'm Lonny." Nice easy name to remember. She never really had a name before, it was her guidee that gave it to her. She liked the ring of it, so she decided to keep it as the name she could go by, rather than, 'Hey you, deer!'

Palahala smiled and chuckled a little, he was never happier than when he was with his herd and here he lay amongst them. "Please don't be afraid, I won't harm you."

"Lonny, hmm, pretty name that. You obviously havn't been here too long. Don't worry you're safe here Palahala makes it safe for us." She looked purposefully at Gobo with a raised brow.

Gobo shook his head and rolled his eyes. "yes I see that, no predators any where, but not all big cats are evil, look at Palahala, he is technically one of them but still one of us. My friend Galanthus, she would never harm me." He looked to Lonny, wondering how she felt about lions,s he looked like she had been in a war with a few of them.

Lonny had nodded towards Palahala. She trusted him, though, she trusted everyone when she first met them. This one didn't have a hint of malice in his eyes, therefore, she really had no reason to doubt the god.

"I know not all big cats are bad." She said, gaining a little more confidence to speak. "I...I led one around that had no sight to go on his own." At this, she looked down guiltly. "When the other klip said there was a safe lands for the prey, the one I guided insisted I go. He couldn't protect me from attacks," She motioned towards some scars, all from one nasty white lion with lust for blood captivated in his bright blue eyes.

The young god sighed and shook his head "some are worse than others." He stood up then, revealing his hooved fore feet and his antelope like tail. Looking over lonny he moved towards her and nudged her cheek, gently, affectionately, "I can see yu are sad, but I promise I won't let anybody hurt you, not ever" he smiled his gentle, doe like eyes glimmering with hope and promises he would keep forever.

Zebadie went to complain that theer were no good predators, but stopped herself as she saw the sadness in the others eyes. She clearly cared for this savannah cripple. She wasn't going to say anything to upset the poor girl, she needed to be welcomed. "The herd is kinda small at the moment, but you're welcome to stick around with me, I'm the head of the herd when pala isn't here." She smiles, proud of her possition.

Gobo looked accross at lonny and smiled. "I ahve a little lioness friend, I looked after her from cub but now she is off to join a pride. I don't know if I should stay or not I miss her greatly, it's a strange sort of fatherly thing." He chuckled. "Sounds strange a klipspringer raising a lion doesn't it?" he grins.

At the cheek rub, Lonny felt...almost at home. Like she had when she was around her parents. She nodded towards Zebadie, small was good, but when it grew, that would also be good. It would mean a lot of chances to meet other Klippys, perhaps even see little babies running around! It had been a while since she had seen youngsters. "I would like that," She said after a moment. This herd, although she had jsut gotten here, made her feel like she had...even more family then she thought she had.

"The lion I had guided was like a father to me." She sighed. "And it's not as strange as a lion raising a klipspringer." She giggled.

Palahala padded his small hooves on the ground and stretched his wings a little. "Would you like to come for a run with us? It's ggettign a little hot out here, I think we need to move." he smiles looking at Lonny, he felt so confident around these creatures, his people, it was a wonderful experience.

Zebadie chuckled, "I suppose I have seen odder things, a god that smells like a fawn for a start" she points her muzzle at the young god before springing off through the long grass, her small tail flickered in the air. "last one to the caves is a rotten egg!" She quips.

Gobo sighed lightly "She has to make everything in to a competition doesn't she?" he laughs and bounds after the black and white femme leaving Palahala and Lonny standing alone for a moment.

The young god nodded, "Come, I'm sure you're much better at running than I, it's hard having hoovess and paws to cope with." He chuckles waiting for the new female to bound off after the other two klippys.

"Cave?" She was still new to the area, but she didn't know anything about a cave! She gazed aorund, maybe she'd see one in the distance. When she didn't she shook her head, turning her eyes towards the little god. "Ah...well, I can go slow?" She offered, joking at the male god. "I am not terribly fast either!" She grinned, but bounded off after Zebadie and Gobo, springing off the ground like she defied gravity with every bounce..

Palahala gave a quick nod and bounded after the little klippy, he had been practising alot to get the technique that came so easily to the klipspingers, to bounce as high as the grass without using wings was a little difficult but he was getting better as he got older. "I'm right behind you. Just follow the fleeing butts over there" He chuckles.

Zebadie glanced back only once to check that everyone was followign her. "Hey at the back pick up your hooves!" she laughed leapinmg high through the thick grasses her ears cocked forwards and her body springing over he ground so elegantly.

Gobo took another jump through the grasses and paused for a moment waiting for Lonny and Palahala to catch up. "I swear the girl doesn't know the meaning of a little run, it's always arace." he grins, he was clearly fond of the black and white femme and all her foibles.

"Well, at least she is competitive?" The female giggled. "I mean, it gives her...something to look forward to doing?" The klip wanted to stop and think about what she just said, but couldn't if they were in a race. She grinned, bouncing past Gobo as she headed towards Zebadie. "So, Gobo tells me you like to race?" The female grinned, bouncing after Zebadie.

The black and white stripped femme chuckled. "It's something to do. I'v always loved to run through the long grass since I was a fawn." She beamed leaping forwards once more, before them the caves loomed, a craggy cliff face filled with crevices.

Gobo chuckled "yeah she likes it alright, she thinks he can beat a cheetah!" He grins continuing to bound after the two females.

Palahala smiles, he wasn't too bothered about his klippy friends beating him, it was nice to see them so carefree.

Once they reached the cave zebadie settled in to the comfortable shade. the ground had been covered in swathes of sweet scented grass. She settled happily with the other two Klispringers, yawning she rested her head on the ground and sighed happily. this was the life.

Gobo shook his head resting happily, his head lifted, even here he was wearly, his brown gaze watched out over the valley, carefully judging if it was safe before he too settled in to a light doze.

Nesting down close to zebadie, palahala sighed and let out a little puuring growl. This was his place, his herd, he loved it, even if it was only small at the moment.
