Yeah, still no pretty banners... iFail xd ; So here's the skinny - The pack's been in limbo for a while now. I'm not happy about this fact. Life's, as far as I've seen, eaten Atheare, and after waiting for a reply to a PM I sent her a while ago... It's finally time to end this... Plot that didn't go far xd ; I appologise for that! So, without further ado, this is the closing of the plot. Some things will be... Made up as we go, since RP's been a bit lacking sweatdrop

Some rules to follow!
1. You my use this as a JRP for your hyena, if you wish for them to join!
2. You may voice ideas through your hyena(s)! I encourage this biggrin
3. Please respect others when you RP, and to balance that, please don't take how somebody else replies to an RP post personal - keep IC drama IN CHARACTER, and remember that how somebody RPs their character may not reflect how they themselves actually feel on something!

So, what sort of incentive do you have to RP? At the end(I'll leave this open about... A week Until at least three people not me reach 5 posts a piece, or until page 3, whichever happens first), I'll make a list of all the posts(That aren't mine) and do a rehome raffle for Silvamord. Why? Unfortunately, her RPer left Gaia. There was a side-plot between Silvamord, Daktari, and Kimya'moja - It will be up to the winner to PM Lorne and Tana for details on it - If you find it's not to your taste(I'm afraid I myself know not the details, beyond Kimya has a crush on Daktari, and that's literally the extent of my knowledge), you may PM me(Andranis) and let me know, and I'll re-raffle her. I want this kept civil, to put that to a point.

RIGHT!

Every post is a ticket, and to COUNT, they have to be more than a single line! 3-4 will do!

And yes, I borrowed a bit from the Motoujamii there ^^;;; It works for this!

The loud whooping laughter rang across the valley. Standing on a ridge, one of the two pack leaders, Xue Lin, gazed at the pack. Behind her stood her son, as well as the gray and white Raziel. When she was sure everybody was there, she lifted her head. "My packmates, we have recovered our missing pups!" She waited for any cheering to subside, before nodding at the pack as a whole. "We have Kimya'moja to thank for their safe return! If it weren't for his tireless efforts, they would still be lost!" She then nodded to a couple other hyenas - Raziel's daughter, Balachandra, and the seer hyena Tuna. "We also have these two to thank - Balachandra for her observations, and Tuna for his visions." She raised a brow below her mane. "Now if there's anybody who wishes to, this would be the time to apologize to the hyenas you suspected. I cannot say that I blame you all for making assumptions, but one must always remember to NEVER assume anything about someone!"

She then paced, tail waving back and forth, head dipping down. "You are all probably wondering, now, just who would steal a pair of hyena pups. The answer is a group of filthy, disgusting, rotten cheetahs!" She spat the last word out, face contorting with rage. "The wretches snuck into our lands, and stole Daktari and Silvamord's pups!" The pale hyena stopped, closing her eyes and taking a breath. "I don't want ANYBODY, though, going after the wretches. What's important, is that we got the pups back safe, and our pack is whole again! Tonight, we feast and celebrate!" She turned to her son, giving him a nod. "Ru, go get the hunting party together, so that we may dine well tonight!"

Her attention then turned to the pack as a whole. "Something else, before I let you all speak. Are there any concerns you wish to bring to my attention? Any gripes with another pack member? Some deep secret? Anything at all? Or are there any seeking to present themselves as a new member? Speak now, or forever hold your peace!" She then glanced at the two pups. "It'd be a good time to announce yourself to the pack, as a whole, with all ears listening!"

The dark hyena had almost not attended the meeting after hearing that one had been called. He had finally found the two hyena pups secured away in a cave way up the mountainside on the far side of a valley adjacent to the pack's own. He had never been so far into the mountains before and nor would he have gone quiet so far if it hadn't been for the seer's vision of snow-capped peaks and soaring eagles. As it was he had eventually recognized one of the ridges the seer had described and after two days searching among the many valleys and runoffs, he had finally heard the cries of two young hyenas.

It took another three days to get the pups back to the pack, not only had they been so young and hungry and scared, but he himself had hardly been in any condition to hunt for them, let alone lead them on their precarious journey back home. But he had, and after seeing them safely home he had crept away to his den to sleep. Only Daktari's urging had got him back up on his cracked and bleeding paws for the meeting hours later, and now the black hyena stood in the shadows of a tall rock, his skinny, dusty frame barely recognizable as the glossy dark-furred hyena who had joined early in the season.

Lifting his head as the news was announced, he gazed dully about, crimson eyes wary of the pack and how they might react to him having been the one to find the pups. He had done it for Daktari... and the red male's joy was all the reward he needed, but if the rest of the pack left him alone now and stopped whispering when ever they caught sight of the silent shadow of the male... he would be content.

Letting his weary head drop he leaned against the rock slab beside him. Maybe he could go back to his den soon.... to rest, recover... and try and put the recent weeks behind him. And maybe... just maybe... Daktari would come up later on and speak to him...


(Took a few liberties with how the pups were found. XD If I need to edit anything, let me know)

Daktari could not believe the joy that had filled his heart at seeing his cubs again,alive and as well as they could be after their ordeal. He had not left their side since Kimya had brought them home, all three looking as if they had walked this side of the wastelands and back. After he had gone over every inch of his daughters and then passed them onto the healers, Daktari had gone searching for his Shadow.

He'd found him in his den, and had urged him..ok bullied him to join the rest of the pack, to take the credit he so deserved for bringing his pups home. The gods only knew how far the dark coated male had wondered for him, for his puphood friend to bring them back. He'd not done it for the mate that Daktari had taken out of duty from their last pack, he'd done it for him, and the flame colored male knew it.

Now as the celebration was about to begin, and his pups were safely resting n the healer's care, Dak went to find his Shadow, not only to thank him, but to see to his care.

" Kimya," he said softly as he approached what was left of his silent friend, his friend who had always been there, always, " Kimya, come..you need food, rest, and your paws looked at, they have to hurt."

Tuna shrank a bit from the praise, shy as he was. But he felt proud. He'd helped find the pups, and cleared his name in the pack. He spared a glance around, noticing a few eyes on him, but others on Kimya. The brown hyena shifted on his paws a moment, before sidling over. He was just in time to hear Daktari's words. "He's right, you know... You walked a long way non-stop, both to get them and bring them back..." What had happened to the cheetahs, though? It was like they'd never existed, simply vanished into the night. Never to be seen again, as far as he knew... He spared a glance at Xue Lin, then took a breath. "What happened to the cheetahs, anyway?"

He listened as the pack slowly took in the information, some raised cries of joy, others mumbled quietly to themselves. Kimya just didn't care any more, so long as they left him alone. The struggle to find the pups, and the even greater struggle against his own feelings, had worn him through, he had nothing left to give. He suspected that Daktari and that female (who Kimya wasn't at all certain was even sane any longer) would settle down to family life now their pups were back, and at any rate, that was what should happen... the pups had been through so much, had experienced so much trauma, they needed a safe, stable and loving family group around them to help them recover. Though he knew they would never return to the innocent little pups they had been, not fully.

Sighing softly he was about to slip away from the gathering, maybe retreat to his den or go up the cliff to his secret place among the rocks.. when a very familiar voice called out softly close by. He felt his heart squeeze tightly, cutting off his breath at the pain that followed, the longing he had carried for so long, the hope he had harbored but that had finally withered away in the face of harsh reality... all of it rose up and swamped him momentarily. And he didn't think that would ever change as he would always love the red-coated male who's voice it was that called him.

Timidly, fearfully, he lifted dulled red eyes to his oldest friend, the longing within them sharp and full of pain for a brief moment before he managed to push the feelings down, though he would never be able to extinguish them. "... Daktari..." He echoed, his usually soft voice was rough and broken from weariness and the long days spent calling the pups. "I..." Swallowing he lowered his head, unable to meet his beloved's gaze, knowing things had not changed any more now than when the pups had been born and Daktari had watched them with all the proud joy of a new father. No, Kimya knew that with the pups return, his own chance at spending his life with the red male had vanished for good. That was how it should be, was meant to be. He was the weird one, he was the one who shouldn't be there, shouldn't interfere with the family's future.

Swallowing again, trying to get some moisture into his mouth, he jumped as another voice sounded close by, red eyes lifting almost fearfully to the seer's own before Kimya recognized him and relaxed, though his dark body pressed harder against the rock as if for support. "I... I was going to the healer after this..." He murmured, lowering his head and staring at his paws, knowing Daktari wouldn't be fooled. He had never gone to the healer before, and was not likely to start now.

Risking another glance at his friend, he felt his heart contract, the pain as sharp as it had ever been. Longing and loss filled him as he gazed helplessly at the red male, until finally the threat of the hot prickles pricking at his eyelids made him drop his head, closing his eyes to hide his tattered and torn emotions, too weak to wear the emotional mask he usually did.
