Flat Expanse of the Mountain Peak - 25.08.2009

[Seirei Hisakata]

Seirei had been flying around in the night sky for hours, he felt so restless recently, as if the world was twisting into the darkness, shaking his spirit. He landed eventually at a familiar spot, the place where Mira had landed for the very first time, a flat expanse of ground at the peak of the mountain. Here, the mountains has been covered with snow; it reminded him of the creation of Tialka. He looked up above him at the midnight blue sky. It had been him that had created the stars that would shine over the world for eternity.

A rush of cold wind brushed through his fur roughly, making him shudder. He walked over to a large boulder which stood against a rock wall that formed the peak. He sat in its shadow, the strong material protecting him from the weather. He had noticed that the days were growing colder and shorter. Soon, it would be autumn, and the warmth of the nearby Sun would not be strong enough to warm them as it had done during the baking summer.

He sat there for a long while, pondering over many things. Hiruko had been gone for a great while, now. He understood that he was often away exploring or seeking the enemies, but he wished that all three founders could spend at least one day together, under the fading sun.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba had spent a lot of time teleporting over the area. He spent a lot of that time thinking about things. The leaves on the trees were no longer their different shades of green, now they are tinted with colors of orange, red, and brown. He found a small clearing by the top of the mountian. He was surprised to see Seirei sitting there. He aproached Seirei with the natural quietness, that he had been born with. he made sure to make enough noise as not to startle Seirei though. "How are you doing today?"

[Seirei Hisakata]

((OOC - the clearing is not at the base of the mountain, it is at the top, near the peak))

Seirei looked up slowly to see the silhouette of Kiba walking towards him in the darkness. Vast clouds continually covered the waxing moon, allowing little light to guide his eyes.
"Hello, Kiba. I see you've stumbled across this old place." he sighed, his eyes wandering over to the small pool of water a few metres diagonally across from him. He remembered as though it were yesterday how Mira had vanished into the crystal water, as if she had dissolved.

"I find this place comforting, even though it is at the top of the mountain and the weather is often harsh against my fur." Seirei curled his tail tighter around himself. "This was where Mira first appeared on Tialka, when this world was still fresh and young. It is strange that you have come across it, it is not easily found, especially on a night like this."

He picked at a stone in the ground with a claw as he answered Kiba's question. "I'm alright, thankyou, just. . . remembering, and finding solace in familiar places. How are you?"

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba sighed and sat in the clearing next to Seirei. "It seems that no matter where we are, this place, this world, always seems to pull us together. I have noticed this over the time that I have been here." He felt the cold earth beneath his paws more so than usual. "To tell you the truth, I was just wandering around. There is something troubling me, as something seems to be troubling you as well." He offered a smile, more for Seirei then himself.

"I have been all over the discovered Tialka, but I can't help but feel that I am missing some big thing. Like it is right in front of me, screaming in my face to be noticed. I am not sure if it is anything at all really, but the feeling is here all the same." His sharp grey eyes scanned the area, not really finding anything to look at, so they went back to focus on Seirei. "There is also this ominous feeling, The winds are changing, the world is also changing with it. Maybe that is what is messing me up." He watched Seirei for a second before he stared at the moon and begun the explanation. "Where I come from, we don't have fall or spring. It is either one extreme or the other. The ground was frozen, or it was hot, almost no in between." He sighed to himself. "This world.... It is so different from what I come from. But the people here make Tialka bearable. I just can't help but feel that if we fail at anything, that everything that we have and worked so hard for will all be lost."

He sat still for a few seconds, his gaze never leaving the moon. Opening himself up like that is something he didn't do if possible. After sharing what was on his mind for the past few days, his worries, his true thoughts, he was actually afraid to see what his friend would say, so he just sat there and waited, hoping for the best.

A tiny lilac speck zoomed by, before stopping and reversing back to the two canines. Carefully, the speck grew, turning itself into the sub-species pixie that it was. Her short lilac fur ruffled slightly in the wind, though her hair shook more noticeably. Her pupil-less green eyes studied the wolves carefully.

The aura she gave out was odd, for not many feline humanoid pixies are currently alive. Her nose twitched, sampling the wolves' scents. The black and white wolf smelt like the thick-stalked white flower that was called 'kaliathek' in her world, though she knew that they were commonly named lilies.

The wolf with wings was more odd. He seemed to have two different scents, one more feminine but not as strong as the other. The feminine smell was sweet, almost like sugar, but had a tang to it that tickled her nose. The stronger scent was like dusk, when night was falling and a breeze shot past your nose. His scent also had an undertone of the fragrances that tantalise the senses after the rain falls. Neither of the wolves smelt like they would hurt her.

Quietly, Tenma smiled. "Hi," she said.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba watched slightly astonished as the lLilac speck grew into an anthro feline. He stood up on his back legs to get to a more even height. "Hello. Welcome to Tialka friend. My name is Kiba Kurokage, but please refer to me as Kiba. If you would like, I could give you a map so you can find an area you would like to live in. Maybe you would like to stay at my home for a while if you don't have a place yet." Kiba said with a smile.

He indicated Seirei before saying, "This is Seirei, One of the founders of this world. Do you have any questions miss?..."

[tenma]

She blinked as the black wolf stood on his hind legs and began to talk. The gem on her forehead processed his movements, and declared them non-agressive. Listening, Tenma heard that he was called Kiba, and the other was Seirei.

"My name is Tenma," she said quietly. Another breeze, colder and harsher than the last, went by, and Tenma had to sort out her fringe quickly. "A map would be nice, but I have already seen this land by air. I have it memorised. As for homes, I shall be able to make one myself, but thank you for your kind offer."

She looked about her with unseeing eyes, the gem seeing it for her. They were high up on a mountain, on a clear patch that bore no snow. Below, the rest of the land - of Tialka - was spread, the deep greens of Lacina Forest easily visible from this height.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba smiled and teleported a map over from his home. As the shadows around it began to dissapate, he handed it to her. "Still nice to know the names of the places you have seen huh?" He sat back down with Seirei. "You can join us if you want. If Seirei doesn't mind that is." He looked over to his friend, he had been quiet through the whole exchange. Maybe he was zoned out, though he wished that Seirei would talk to him about his little confession.

[tenma]

Tenma blinked (something that was fairly odd for her, even after all these years). "Well, all right," she said, and took a seat down next to Kiba, her suspended wings fluttering. Her tail curled around her waist, and she stroked the tuft of green fur that sprouted from the end of it. She had similar tufts of fur on the tip of her cats' ears, hinting at lynx blood in her ancestry. She continued looking around her, absorbing the landscape, and her wings finally settled after having been flying for quite a while.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba stared out at the moon, wondering why most felines didn't love to stare at it. It held some magical quality about it, hanging in the sky, always feeling just out of reach. "So, Tenma. If you don't mind my asking, why did you come to Tialka?" He asked casually.

[tenma]

"I like to travel," she replied, just as casually, if a lot quieter. After she'd taken in the details of the scenery around her, she looked out on the rest of Tialka, eyeing the deeper greens of the forest, and the hot yellow of the desert. This place was nice, and had a welcoming aura about it, though she could sense an underlying bitterness.

[Kiba Kurokage]

"You seem different then most people I have met before. Not that that is a bad thing, just look at the tresidents of Tialka so far, we are a very diverse group are we not?" He smiled.

[Seirei Hisakata]

Seirei gave a warm smile in welcome to the new arrival. He had never seen a creature such as she, but she looked friendly as well as mysterious and magical. "I hope you will make Tialka your home, Tenma" he spoke out from behind the boulder, his tone warm, even though the air was crisp. "If you do not mind me asking, Tenma, but what are your abilities? See, every Tialkan here has different attributes, and I am curious to discover what yours are." he smiled.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba sighed, his earlier thoughts were lost on the wind. He felt a small headache forming in his head and he rubbed his temples, trying to get it to stop before it got too bad. It had been happening more and more often lately, he wondered why. "Perhaps we should share our powers before she hows us her's?" He said, trying to be polite, kinda like you introduce yourself before you asked someone else's name.

[Seirei Hisakata]

Seirei supposed Kiba was trying to be polite, like Seirei was by letting the new arrival go first, but he didn't really mind. He came out from behind the boulder and warned them to stand back. He ran in a straight line then kicked off into the night sky. He soared up and down, everynow and then doing a loop. As he zoomed around he whipped his tail round and sent great golden sparks into the air. They fell down like little stars towards where the other two stood. After the little display he landed again, not out of breath at all. "I can also create gusts of wind with my wings, but I won't show you that" he grinned "Might blow you off the edge if I'm not too careful."

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba grinned at his friend. "At least mine isn't so flashy now is it?" He laughed and teleported around the clearing a few times. He came back towards the two and laughed. "See, not quite so flashy huh?"

[Seirei Hisakata]

Seirei chuckled a little. "It was either that or scorching you two with red hot sparks." He rolled his eyes at Tenma, "He's being too modest, Tenma, he has a lot more magic hidden up those sleeves." He winked in Kiba's direction.

[Kiba Kurokage]

Kiba laughed and pointed at his bare furry arms before saying, "What sleeves?"
