Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yawning, a young sunbathed meercat stretched out, digging his feet into the make-shift hammock that he rested on. Ahhhhh, what a morning! The sun was bright, peeking through the jungle leaves above him. Water trickled behind him, the remains of a small stream that started as a waterfall about three miles away. The sound of crickets and beetles filled the air, as some the unsuspecting morsels woke to their last morning. Rubbing at his eyes, Timon rolled off his hammock and onto the ground, then picked up a large rounded leaf and began scrounging for his breakfast.

Though, with so many abounding types of bugs, it wasn't hard.

Once his plate was sufficiently filled, the hungry meercat tipped it back, swallowing all of the bugs whole. With a loud 'BRAAAAP', he tossed the leaf over his shoulder, then cupped his hands to his mouth and yelled.

"PUMBAAAAAAA, BREAKFAST!"

((I'm a lazy buuumm.... Merf, I'll jump in in a bit @_@ Waiting for my medicine to kick in... *Feels terrible*))

Thecheetah's ears perked even mroe followed quickly be her cub's eager ears. Teule gave a sly grin towards his mom and started stalking toward the sounds, Taka right behind him to make sure ot was safe for him. The voice seemed small so perhaps it was mule deer or something maybe a bird of some kind. Teule was almost upon the animal, when Teule sneezed obnoxiously loud, a puff of yellow pollen flying from a red hibisucs. He giggled and shurgged meekly, quickly taking his chance and poucing onto whatever was making all that noise.

A black and cream wild pup stirred slightly in her sleep. As she awoke she yawned and looked around, and became seriously confused. "Where, where am i?" She squeaks, her eyes looking around nervously. Dazed and confused she thought back, but all she could remember was a creme Wild Dog, looking down fondly on her and dubbing her Makata. She was confused. "Mommy?" She asked wildly, turning her head around. She remembered a dark figure..."Daddy?" She asked, her sad blue eyes gazing around. With a look to the ground she fell and sighed... Where was she?

a large stampide of elephants could be heard from the distance coming there way.... chuki was napping in a large bush as the rest of the pak were gathering everybody to get out of the way of the gaint beasts...as they all were running off the elephants were now apon them , with no time to think and they all started running.... the wild dogs were fast animals , but with this many elephants heading there way they had no chance...most of the pak were killd. Chukis head pop up as the elephants ran past him ....the ground was trembling under there feet as they charge on.
-"aahhh...... mommy!? , Daddy?!..."

chuki screamd out as he ran around in a confused manner...dodging there feet and zig zaggin back and forth ....the dust was now everywhere and all he saw were gaints all around him running past, not even seeing the poor little pup.....soon as the dust and smoke settled he saw the backs of all the elephants that had just torn through his home.

-"come back here you bullys!!!"

Chuki said as he ran towards them, in his pup like size he didnt get to far,
he stopd as his nose sniffed the air....where was his family? he couldnt smell or see anybody...... he was surrounded by tall thin trees and large bushs, now looking like a war zone....he started to panic alittle as he ran in every direction looking for his mother and father.....then as soon as time past his eyes started to fill up with tears, now realizing he was alone he ran off as far as his paws would take him, crying.....

((i hope this is ok? sweatdrop ))

Haveo continued his journey in the vast jungle, his violet eyes burned with anger. He continued to trudge forward not caring about the dried mud that stuck to his fur.

Suddenly Haveo tensed upon hearing an elephant call out close-by. He concentrated and opened up his sense. Within a few seconds Haveo lept off to the side just as a group of elephants stampeded by leaving nothing but dust in their tracks.

The young pup carefully walked back into the now uneven trail gazing at the large dirty rumps of the elephants. Upon looking around he noticed that an unfortunate antelope kid had been trampled to death.

Haveo thought, 'Unfortunate for that thing, but fortunate for me.' And as if on cue, his stomach growled eagerly for it to be fulled. He approached the corpse and turned it with his nose so the its belly faced the sky. Sinking his long canines into the neck he dragged his dinner into the bushes.

Haveo looked up and checked his surroundings, upon seeing that it was safe he ripped open the kids belly and fed upon its innards.

Haveo looked up from his meal blood smeared all over his muzzle. He sensed something but he wasn't sure what. For all of his life he had grown up with family that didn't look like him. His 'family' were all grey or black with spots and manes. Well up until he saw another group that looked exactly like himself. He had followed them but had gotten lost. Aware that it was a miracle that he was still alive he continued to live.

Suddenly Haveo's heart fell heavy with sadness. He didn't even know what his was, he just knew his name was Haveo. He shook his head in attemp to free his head of these unwanted thoughts. Once his mind was cleared Haveo gazed down at his dinner his belly full.

'I don't want to have to just leave it here, it's a waste of meat. And I can't eat anymore...guess I'll just have to drag it.'

And that he did, once more he sunk his teeth into the neck of the kid and dragged it in the opposite position of where the elephants left. The kid was much large than him and tired after only dragging it a few yards away. His stubborn attitude refused him to just drop the carcass and once again he dragged it.

Once he reached a point as to he couldn't see the the place where he fed he let the carcass fall from his mouth, not only from exhaustion but from surprise.

Before him he saw another one just like himself, the first thing he did was stand over his food set got ready to pounce. Curling his lips back showing his bloodied teeth he growled menancly.

Glaring at the other pup he spoke, "Who are you?"
