Wild African Rune

"The Story of the Wild Rune"


This expedition is quite special since me and my fellow apprentices have gathered together to go in search of runes. I have paid for us to be guided across the great African Plains! This place is alive with both culture and exotic beasts large and small. It is rare that we all travel in a group in search of new runes but there would have been no sure way to document everything myself in such a vast space. I made sure to send my apprentices off to search for their own African Runes as I soon came across a discovery of my own. The high yips and colorful coats of a Wild African Rune rushed past me in a blur as it flew with it's pack on a hunt. The strange creatures were about the size of a medium sized dog but were still agile enough to cut through the air effortlessly. The beautiful markings scattered across their fur made it difficult to tell where it began and where it ended but the soft brown eyes were the most attractive of this species as I watched them fly about. They appear to be quite loyal even if they are truly wild and boast a personality that is high spirited with endless energy. Large disk-like ears are this rune's most noticeable trait as it uses it's acute hearing to detect prey and predator. I can not wait to see what the others have documented in this place as I hurriedly sketch down this creature and write facts about it's behavior.

Owner Name:
Midnight Raine
Name:
Tsalagi (Cherokee for cat)
Gender:
Female
Personality:
She can be bipolar at times. When she is with friends she knows, she is bubbly and friendly. But when she sees a rune for the first time, she gets defensive and fluffs up her feathers.
Why do you wish to have him/her:
Many colors attracted me to this Rune. She is a beauty to look at.
Where will you keep him/her:
most likely, I will keep her in both my Sig and Character Thread. I will link back to the Rune adoptions page as well
Would you like to breed him/her in the feature:
Most likely, yes. Her offspring would be gorgeous
Any Quirks:
She likes to turn around in circles, much like a dog. She keeps a close eye on the ones she loves and protects them if they are ever in danger
Other:
"Come on,Tsalagi. Im gonna be late for school." Lexi tapped her foot on the ground as she waited for her loving, hairbrained rune to finish her breakfast. Tsalagi turned to Lexi, signaling she was done with her breakfast. Lexi picked up Tsalagi and walked out the front door. Lexi picked up her bike and placed Tsalagi in the basket up front of the bike. This was how every morning had been for the past year since Lexi picked up the small creature off the side of the road, starving and hungry. But today was not like other days. Today was to be a lot worse. Lexi pushed off the ground and pedaled to school. Tsalagi soon realized there was someone following them in a black van. Tsalagi let out a caw of warning to Lexi. She didn't trust anything that was behind her loving master. Lexi picked up the pace of her pedaling, and the van went faster. Lexi zoomed down the hill, only to be followed by the same van. Lexi swerved in the road, trying to deviate the van's path. Lexi turned one way, then the other. The van went down the road Lexi originally went down, then immediately turned around, almost flipping the van. The van sped up in front of Lexi and stopped, blocking Lexi's path. Tsalagi growled and stayed close to Lexi. Two men came out of the van; one with a rope, the other with a burlap sack. Someone came behind Lexi and knocked her out cold. Tsalagi screamed and flew after the man who knocked Lexi out. She bit at him, making him bleed. Tsalagi flew after the two other men, caawing madly.
^.^ keeping yall on your toes. if i get her, ill finish the story

Still open? <3
Name:
Afrika

Gender:
Female

Personality:

T R I C K S T E R:
This little rune is a trickster, and she was the youngest of the African Dog Rune pack,
often causing trouble by biting the older Rune's tails and such.
She often likes to pull my hair, and will often steal my surveys and brochurs when I help Bena and Jen look for Runes.

L O Y A L:
Although a prankster and a sleepyhead, Afrika is very loyal and doesn't like watching me sad or mad, often finding some bugs or nicknacks to cheer me up.
Aff 's little silly gifts always seem to work magic on me, even if they are totally not what you'd expect.

G O O F Y:
Aff is goofy, often falling off tree branches or trying to eat the metallic gold ring Bena gave me for my 3r'd year as an apprentice.
Aff always finds some stupid thing to do to make us all laugh, and I cant forget that one time she hissed at a bouncy ball and then gave us the most funny looking disgusted face ever.

S L E E PY:
After hissing at bouncy balls, or falling off trees, Afrika loves to just lay down and take a nap. When she's sleeping it seems we can never wake her.


Why do you wish to have him/her:
I love runes, their sweet little faces, adorable wings..and this one's pattern and ears!
I have wanted to try for alot of runes, but I waited for a perfect treasure and found it after 3 pages or so of Runes.
This one reminds me of the savannah, my favorite terrain.
I would love little Aff!

Where will you keep him/her:
A siggy and a thread, and I would rp her, although Im not sure this fits into this question.

Would you like to breed him/her in the feature:
Yes, although probably later to find the perfect color scheme to match hers.

Any Quirks:
Afrika is afraid of Bouncy Balls. They scare her to death, although she can chase a full-grown buffalo without puffing up feathers.
She often likes to do silly little bark like sounds that sound more like train whistles.

Other/Story:
( Im not an artist, I just wanted to take the Idea Im an apprentice or something)
"Jen, can we leave the glaciers? Afrika's not used to this weather." Jen had recently found a Ancient Winter rune, and even though I could watch it forever, Afrika is shivering and covering her face with her wings, hissing, even though the great Ancient is doing nothing to her.
" We will soon, Ky" Jen says confidently, as she walks around the rune, jabbing down watercolor paintings of it. I roll my eyes and plop down near Bena, who seems, suprisingly, slightly bored. She probably just wants to see that scary Death Ancient again, and that dragon made me want to scream.
"Alright, we can go" Jen says flatly. Her parchment is covered with attributes of the Rune in watercolor.
As we board the small train a couple yards from the glacier entrance, I notice that Afrika is staring at the rune deep inside the glacier. Perhaps a Rune connection? I dont know.


In the small snowy town, we walk coldly into a Inn, where small cold-theme Rune's hop around. Almost immediatly, Bena and Jen run to record them on Parchment, and I join in. Afrika hops onto the floor to play with the small snowy runes, and I apply the watercolor to my small wad of parchment Bena gave me. I delicately paint all the runes playing, and after I happily show Bena and Jen the painting. They say praise for a few minuets, then go back to their work. " Im so glad I found my Rune"
