Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rayolun was out just hunting, taking a break from being with Lasarra and in the village. He liked being with her… but the village was …. A village.
So he took Rownin out to see how his little friend would do with hunting in the jungles. The little guy quickly caught a scent of something it found interesting and gave a gruff bark and wagged his tail eagerly at Rayolun.
“Sure, we’ll follow you lead.” Rayolun said with a smile as he motioned for Rownin to go. As he followed, he kept an eye out for whatever Rownin had smelled, or anything else for that matter.

Finally he was able to spot some tracks that followed the path that Rownin was taking. It made him sigh and shake his head. His little roati obviously didn’t understand hunting in the jungle; one did not chase after the more deadly creature on his first hunt! It was Menzuri, and two of them y the tracks. His companion had decided to follow the tracks of the deadly creatures that fought with web, hallucinogenic poison and crystal limbs. He cursed in his mind as he pulled his trident out and scampered up a tree to get a higher point above Rownin. Let’s see if I can take two of them on with Rownin, Rayolun thought. Normally he avoided the dangerous creatures; there was no need to risk his life in a hunt when he could find easier prey.

Rownin, silly creature who did not know of the crystalline beasts that lived within the jungle, merely smelled something interesting and wanted to check it out. As he got closer to the source of smell, he started to creep and be much more stealthy, much to Rayolun’s relief.
Rayolun, up in the trees, spotted the Menzuri before Rownin did. They were hidden from his companion by the deep jungle brush, but his position in the tress gave him a clear view of two very large and dangerous creatures. And his buddy was walking right into them! Growling, he dropped down on the first one with his spear ready to impale it. He was not going to let Rownin get cut up simply because he knew nothing of the jungle! The menzuri lived up to their reputation; the first one skittered out of Rayolun’s path and jumped on him as he landed, the sharp legs stabbing as it tried to spit its poison at him. Rayolun rolled out of the poison’s path, and scooted Rownin out of the way with his foot. Damn, he thought, couldn’t get one down before they became aware of us; that’s going to make this difficult.
But Rayolun, despite his normal cautious tendencies, felt that he should try at least to fight them. He had after all obtained the rank of Lancer, running now would be a bit... humiliating. He smiled as he charged one of the menzuri; I’m starting to sound like Ger now! He gave a good fight, but having to keep pushing Rownin out of the poison’s way threw him off. The silly bugger apparently had never met something that spat deadly hallucinogens before. Getting tired of the play, and worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep saving Rownin, Rayolun rolled under one of the mezuri, grabbed his roati and dashed back to the trees.
Pride be damned, he wasn’t going to see his pal get hurt! He speedily and skillfully dashed along the tree branches that formed a second path for those with good balance. After a few minutes he paused to listen and make sure they were safe before dropping down to the ground and putting a much subdued Rownin on the ground.

“Next time, we’ll go after something easier.” He said as he petted Rownin.
