[Dixie]

The moon had risen over head, his stomach growled with each step of his large paws. He paced slightly, impatient.

It was rare that Dardanos would hunt with others, but tonight would be an exception. The female hunter had found a herd, she had promised an excellent fight and possibly a meal. His nostrils flared as he thought about how she had described the soquili that lived not far from where they were currently holding positions.

Kimi was her name, a magnificent example of the skinwalker traits. Nos a catwalker, found it intriguing that the female could take flight. It definately added a dimension to battle tactics. His golden eyes flashed as he looked over to her, watching her carefully.

"How many should we expect?" he growled, he wondered if there were foals...he loved the tender meat of new foals.  

[Syaoran-Puu]

Kimi indulged a little as her feathers tickled in the breeze, the anticipation of the blood that would run between her talons was making her a sinner. There where several of the forbidden sins that she wished to commit this evening -Lust (for blood), Greed (for blood), Gluttony (for blood), Envy (for blood), Wrath (for blood). Five out of seven wasn't bad, but more importantly tonight was about blood. In particular Maions'. She knew that she could not take him on herself -hense the involvment of her would be mate, and by that she simply meant possible and potential sperm donor. Together she could see their power being unmatched despite the Angeni's presences. Her hatred for him ran deep. His pureness was all an act, she knew that deep down he was a cruel as she was.

Licking her lips she turned to the strong male beside her. "Several Angeni -including the one that interests you the most- his regular mate, and their three adolesant children. Several other members, flutters, unicorns, regulars. All goody four hooves. All worthless." She hissed under breath and clicked her tongue in a very bird like way. Rolling her eyes away from the male she tookd a few steps forward and sniffed the air. "If we wait until the two hours before sunset they should be setting down to sleep, most of them prefer the night over the day. Something about the guardian having more control at night." In truth she knew that Maion's ability was linked more to the Ocean, but she wanted to make sure Dardanos knew that either way Maion was a powerful opponant. And in 'Nos case it was unlikely that he would go easy on him. After all the Angeni only allowed Kimi to live due to the invisable bond that seemed to connect them. Be it in blood or not they where siblings. Only one of the reasons for her hatred.

"Ideas?" She snapped towards the male.  

[Dixie]

He ran his tongue over his long fang, imagining the blood and flesh that soon would grace his lips. He listened as the female talked, the herd was a good size it seemed.

"Foals? Tell me there are foals?" his belly grumbled at them both. "I long for the sweet meat of a foals stomach..." he muttered to himself.

Kimi had told him of the large angeni that guarded the herd, Nos didn't care. To Nos, it was just another challenge...another obstacle in the way of his next meal. "We will go with your plan..you know the herd," he paused for a moment, "I'm going to find something small while we wait...Rabbit...fox...." his eyes turned to the surrounding area, he was starving.

"Do you know where they are?....Exactly?"  

[Syaoran-Puu]

"The three youngest are just starting to leave foalhood. They will still be delicate and juicy. Two females. One male." She spoke matter of factly.

"Yes." It was the truth, she had scouted the area many times, and the herd made no effort to hide the fact that they lived near the lake with the safety of the forest on three sides and the openess of the field on the last side. She had listened to stories on the wind about the herd, typically they felt they where safe. That their alpha and her pathetic guardian mate would keep them safe. Oh how wrong they where.

Vengence would be served. In hot, warm, sticky, flowing blood.

Kimi was hungry also, but unlike 'Nos she would not be satisfied by a mere rabbit or fox. She would not allow the blood of Maion and his herd to be tainted. Not tonight. She simply nodded to the male in acknowledgement of his desire to hunt.  

[Dixie]

Again, he licked his lips...adolescents would do just as well. Their muscles were not yet toned and tough as those of adults. "Makes more a game that way..." he almost smiled before turning to the forest as he herd a rustling ahead.

He shifted forms to his cat self, it was easier to chase the smaller animals in his alternate form. With quick movements and unmatched agility, his pale striped coat disappeared into the bushes.

Moments later a squealing and squawking of sorts could be heard, then silence.

Returning from the darkness, the feline form now covered in red, slowly moved towards the female. A smirk formed across his face, for now, his hunger had been silenced.  

[Syaoran-Puu]

She simply stood thinking of the options of killing her nightmare of a brother in a bath of blood. First she would take from him the one thing that seemed to mean everything -his mate, Moon. Despite only being a regular Maion had fallen for her, what weakness. You would think he would at least be true to his genes and pick someone that was... well someone! Yet he knew nothing of the importance of genes. Nothing of the importance of strength. He knew nothing of the world as far as Kimi was concerned. But he would learn in a bath of blood and then she would watch as 'Nos ripped out his throat and the lifeforce flow from his body in one swift movement. If everything went to plan the Miakoda herd would not last to see another night.

Almost completely lost to her bloodlust and hatred she nearly ignored her companions approach, only catching herself at the last moment knowing that turning her back on 'Nos was as deadly as trusting her brother. Again she nodded to him in acknowlegdement and licked her lips.

The sun would rise soon. Soon it would be time to strike.

"Lets move into position." She took in his appearance before turning to move into the forest for cover. She had to admit that the fresh blood on his paws was alluring, she wanted to lick it off. Perhaps she would lust for more than just blood this night and indulge in play of another kind.... only after the blood bath that awaited them.  

[Dixie]

It had been tough...stringy...but it was warm and good. His stomach was full and the moon would soon be setting. As he approached the female, his muscles flickered. His form shifted again, he loomed over her as she spoke.

Nos was not use to taking orders from anyone, especially a female... But something pricked his interest with this one. He allowed her to think that he would just simply obey...his tail flicking behind him.

"Let's move," he nodded for her to take the lead. He could find them once he caught their scent, but there was no need to make this harder than it had to be.

The pair moved quietly and quickly, it wouldn't be long before they were upon them. His lips snarled up as he walked, it was a characteristic of his nature that he could not help. The idea of the hunt excited him, it teased his brain and his body.  

[Syaoran-Puu]

Submissiveness did not suit this male that was for sure, and deep down she was weary of his lack of opposition but said nothing. Now was not the time. It was similar this way. Tucking her four wings tightly to her side so that they could not hamper her speed through the thick forest -she never understood why an Angeni with larger wings than herself would pick such a place to live. His mistake. It would hamper him more than Kimi and this was the natural hunting ground of the tiger beside her. After all that was the core of 'Nos, just like Kimi's was an eagle.

Weaving effortless through the tree line in a straight line towards the lake, the air was stiff inside the trees, her sences almost blinded by a thousand different scents that lingered and crossed her path from every direction. Some older than others, soquili, foxes, rabbits, deer, mice... it seemed every creature in the forest had passed by here during the day. Her delicate hearing could even hear an owl about a mile away.

Blood.

Blood.

Blood.

The sole thought that kept her going. She was getting more and more ignorant to her partner, knowing that simply accepting they where on the same side would soon before needed, especially in the blood of battle.

Before long the mingled scent of Maion and his herd struck her nose like a wave of desire. They where within reach. It was almost time...... the game was about to begin.  

[Dixie]

Nos moved along at a steady gate beside the female, his nose picking up scents that no longer attracted him. His game tonight would be large... winged... and challenging.

As soon as the smell of the stranger's herd filled his nose, Nos stopped and took to his cat form. It would be easier for him to stalk and size up the situation without being detected if he was able to cover himself in the underbrush surrounding the family.

He motioned to Kimi that he was heading towards the left side of the herd. As he moved in closer, he hid his body in a thicket, his golden eyes peering out. There were the females...the young adults....He licked his lips. Their meat would still be tender and young. Carefully he looked around for the large angeni that Kimi had told him off... He looked for his target.  

[Syaoran-Puu]

Shifting into her animal form also, for her an eagle, she spread her mighty wings and flew high above the herd to the left as 'Nos had instructed. She would watch, she would wait.... patience and observation of a killer that would get their prey. yet the bloodlust was ever present, a bubbling, demanding stream of emotion that threatened to bring her to her knees.

But she was so close. That was why she kept going, kept trying to think past the bloodlust, past it and to the pleasure of destroying this herd that saw itself as superior to Kimi and her kind. It would be a lesson they would learn all too late.

Swooping left and then right on her course around the herd lands she saw a flicker of purple streak in front of her eyes. Was that a hawk? Instantly interested that it was so close to the herd she followed it, talons ready to strike and tastebuds already feeling the warmth of blood.  

[Dixie]

Enter: Reeva and Lelu

-----------------------------------

Reeva circled around the herd over head. She and Lelu took shifts keeping watch from the skies as the others rested below. Her wings spread, Reeva veered to the right. The sound of wings other than her own caught her attention. Quickly she circled to catch sight of a massive eagle on her trail. Definitely not what she needed tonight.

Suddenly, in the light of the moon, Reeva caught sight of the beads that adorned the eagle.

Kimi.

She had to warn the herd, she had to get to them before Kimi got to her. She called out, but she was high over head and Kimi was closing in. Would anyone hear her?  

[Syaoran-Puu]

*due to being begged for a 'bird' post.....* not naming anyone... DIXIE!! *snuggleluffs*

Kimi's blood bubbled with excitment, now that she was closer she could tell it was definatly Reeva -Sendgroma's pet. Perfect Sengdroma... the mate to her perfect brother.... with their perfect family. It made her sick to her stomach.

Yet payback could be in her talons soon....

First she needed to get closer. Spread her wings to full capacity she was much larger than the hawk familar, larger and faster. With a mighty flap of her wings she sped forward, talons sharp and ready for an attack. She was approaching.... just a little more.......

New Players

ENTER: Maion and Chandra

Maion watched as his daughter tried yet again to fly, she was getting better but still had a way to go. She could now stay off the ground for a few minutes at a time and her landings where starting to become much smoother. Her friend Sonnet, a young man that he had to admit to liking, was doing much better also. He felt prode watching them both.

Chandra tried YET AGAIN to fly, it was getting easier. Her muscles now seemed to recognise the movements they needed, the flight feathers where far more trained to the flow of air that was needed to speed up, slow down and even stop. The only problem was that she was that her stamina... sucked! Daddy kept telling her it would come with practise but it was hard looking that far ahead. Pouting she looked up at him and said. "Can we finish for the day? I want to play."  

[Dixie]

(You said no names! *laughs and goes to fling Lelu*)

Lelu had been resting in the trees while her friend had been on watch, it would be her time soon enough to take her shift and let Reeva watch.

Suddenly, Lelu herd a call. It sounded like Reeva, but it was panic she heard. Looking over the horizon she saw Reeva being chased by a much larger bird. Lelu took her small body to flight, determined to defend her friend.

Her dark colors allowed her to blend into the night sky, she look a course that would carry her above the two birds coming her way.

Steady....steady.....

With the skill she normally used for honing in and capturing bugs to eat, Lelu barreled down towards the eagle at break neck speed. The phrase "Bat outta hell" would definitely be fitting.

With as much force as her small body could produce, Lelu made contact with the eagle then seemed to just roll off. She could only hope that her hit would be enough to knock the eagle off course and let Reeva make it safely to the herd.

Lelu plumetted towards the ground, catching herself just before she was to hit the ground in between the father and daughter that were practicing their skills. With a quick movement she was able to pull herself out of the spiral and speed back into the darkness of the night skies after Reeva's attacker.  

[Revolutionary Roniel]

Malchediel pranced and jabbed with his horn. He lunged forward on his front hooves and kicked out with his back. His long mane flew wildly behind him and fell tangled over his face. He was doing one of his favorite activities, practicing fighting. Ever since he had started taking combat lessons from the half-kalona in Padmapani herd he'd been practically obsessed with it. He loved how powerful it made him feel. Finally, it was something he could do better than his pretty winged sisters!

He paused for a moment and watched his father teaching his sister Chandra how to fly. Malchediel didn't like to think that he was envious of their wide and beautiful wings... but it was hard to be entirely impartial about it sometimes.

He lowered his horn again and tried to remember the defensive posture that Hayagriva had showed him in their last meeting. For the time being, he didn't notice anything amiss.
