A Brush of Wind~A Winged Cougar Role Play

[RiverStorm]

Amara pinned Lachlan. She was glad the eruditos had gone. It was an apparent accident. And wouldn't Lachlan realize that the Kensha weren't as cruel as the leader of the Riqueo said them to be?
~~~
Amethyst touched down into Riqueo camp.
"You two are in big trouble...." said the leader. "Especially you, young lady," he pointed to Reagan.
"It was my fault," said Amethyst, more confident here than in a different tribe in what her punishment would be. "And how did you find out?"
"Those Kensha make fast messengers. In and out of here to inform me what happened up there before you could get here. Before he left though, I told him about the erudito from their tribe one of our Kentari saw the other night. Perhaps they will be more forgiving in letting Lachlan go, but he is a bit older than that one was."
Amethyst wandered home and knew her mother would punish her, and it would be painful, as well as a bit of work to go with it, but it probably wouldn't be quite as much as the guilt Reagan would feel talking to her father. Though she did feel guilty of course.
"Now, Reagan, what is happening to your brother?" He asked fearfully. If I hadn't sent him to get them, things might have been better. They may have been worse, but they would probably have turned out better, he thought. Now he's all alone with those awful Kenshas, like my friend was.

Reagan cowered down in fear, not of her father's anger, but of what the Kensha would do to her brother.
She shook her head. "He asked the Queen to let Amethyst and me go, she did, but she wouldn't say anything until we left. Father, I'm so sorry, I never meant..." Her voice dwindled off and she stared at the ground, guilt flowing over her.
"He'll be okay, right?"
~~~
Fola stalked forward, laying a paw down on Lachlans shoulder, and he didn't even bat a lash. I won't let them know I'm scared, or that I'll feel pain.
Fola cocked her head at him. "For trespassing onto Kensha territory, you must be marked."
She raised her right paw, and it jerked down, slashing deep into the top of his shoulder, she dragged it down to the lower part of his shoulder, so deep that bone could be seen. He flinch in pain, as it ran over him.
"This will forever remind you to never again cross to our territory."

(I wanna... I just can't. I'm sorry, IRL friend died a couple days ago.)

( I'm so sorry, Kate. )

"No. He could be killed." Suddenly tears clouded Tavons's eyes and made his voice tremble as he spoke. He remembered Deer. He had never even seen the body. Deer had not been found.
He slapped her across the face, a painful blow, but his claws were velveted. All of the tribe was hushed. He ran into the woods where the trees were low growing dark menaces in the night.

(Kensha)
Odysseus slithered back to his cave, but was in view of Lachlan for a moment.

( I'm so sorry, Kate. )

( thanks )

Odysseus slithered back to his cave, but was in view of Lachlan for a moment.

Reagan was slapped to the ground by the blow. As he bounded past, she climbed to her feet, walking into their den, she curled up in a circle in the farthest and darkest corner she could find.
~~~
Lachlan looked at Odysseus, then turned his eyes back to Fola, staring her right in the eye.
"Amara, release him. Lachlan, you may go." Fola said sharply.

Amethyst went to the entrance of the den. "I'm really sorry about what happened," she said. "Do you want to sit next to me?"
~~~
Amara released Lachlan.
Odysseus' white eyes glowed in the darkness. Crystals gleamed at his neck, with the power to heal deep wounds.

"I'd like to not go outside." Reagan muttered, turning her head to look at Amethyst.

Fola turned walking back a few steps, then turned her head to watch Lachlan.
Lachlan hauled himself up, and turned his back on them, limping to the camp entrance.
A kentari on the edge of camp lashed out at him, her claw catching his nose, causing it to bleed. Great, more scars. He ignored her, and stalked away from the Kensha camp and finally over the border and into Riqueo territory.

"I meant to sit down in here," Amethyst explained. She sat down next to Reagan without asking permission. "You don't know why he's so scared do you?"
Fresh scratches were licked across her back, though they weren't very deep, and would heal up in a couple of days. Those were invisible in the darkness of the cave though. Those and the sticks her parents made her pick up for the den fortification were nothing. "It's about Deer. Has your father ever told you about him?" She asked.
~~~
A Kentari received Lachlan and led him to the healer's cave. The healer fumbled with a rock. Flesh knitted together. "It's going to be just as painful to heal you know," he warned. As he healed the marks, they turned into scars, forever reminders of the pain. He moved onto the ones on the muzzle. "You're lucky they didn't try to rip off a limb or break any bones. Odysseus can heal those. So can the Marea. Not I."
~~~
A Kentari went after Tavon in the forest to tell him of his son's arrival.

Reagan sat up, her tail curling around her. "No, he hasn't. All I know of Deer is that he is called foolish by the others." She said.
~
Lachlan flinched as the wounds healed, and looked at the healer. "Thank you. The eruditos, Reagan and Amethyst, are they okay?"
(Sorry it's not longer, brain derp)

"Deer... he was an Erudito who went into Kensha territory. He never came back..." said Amethyst. "You're father is probably worried about that."
~~~
"Oh yes," replied the healer. "Down in Reagan's den. You're father fled into the woods, the darker part of them. Or perhaps you shouldn't hear that. If you're anything like you're father, you're gonna worry and do the same."
