After the attraction of the last Ahzenai everything was finally quiet again. As everyone started to think that it may take longer than usual for a new arival a familiar flickering pattern from the swirling vortex began to beam with a bright light.
Finite colors began to fade in, all swirling within the whirlpool-like shape of energy. Colors of green, teal, and a variety of browns were now evident.
Finally a form could be seen from behind the veil of light. Without haste a slender paw emerged forward as the uniquely striped Ahzenai reached towards her new found home.
Landing on the rock surface softly, the light behind her took to its usual brightness.
Shifting her eyes open and forward, she raised herself to a correct stance her eyes lifted in unison with her own body movement, to find those of Valcon.
In response he nodded in acknowlegement and called out her name: "Rusalka" he bellowed.
She looked at him a moment, reciting the name in her head, then gave a quick nod back and proceeded forward. In front of her were humans with other Ahzenai companions and a little far off were scattered Ahzenai throughout the cavern merrily swaggering about.
A quick decision directed her paws towards this lively bunch of energy that seemed to pull her towards them. Nearing, she stopped a few feet away and gave them all a good curious look at.
As soon as one of the two legs made an attempt to step closer she retreated up a rock high enough to be out of reach, then hunched down, licked her upper lip, winked one eye, and said "do any of you have any shiny trinkets? I love shiny things."

Judging will occur on the 20th.

Thunder noticed the Ahzenai up on the rock. He had a beautiful golden locket, necklace in his mouth that he found. He wanted to have a friend, at least, or possibly someone he liked, on the farm, his owner owned.
His muzzle glistened of bright green, red, and orange, his mane of red, and his eyes were a bright and shiny Amber, signaling he was healthy young male that was full of energy. He took a step foreward, but felt his stomach bunch up. "What's wrong with me?" he pondered as he tried taking a step foreward again. He felt funny. "C'mon, Thunder, you can do this..." he thought trying not to ruin the clasp on the necklace. "We're different species, for Pete's sake! i shouldn't worry what she thinks... she probably wouldn't like me anyways." he thought.
Finally, he got the courage to approach the Female Ahzenai. He followed her onto her rock, out of reach of the humans. He froze, then, unsure of what to say to her. "Rusalka, What a beautiful Name." he started. His nervousness showed in his tone. "It suits you perfectly... My name is Thunder." he paused unsure of what to do next. "This is for you," he said putting his paws onher shoulders for a mere second to slip the necklace over her head. "It really brings out your eyes,but Rusalka, you don't need jewelry to make you pretty..." " he said noticing the little emeralds on the locket, and her eyes, so beautiful, just like the emeralds. "And i you have horns just like me, but mine are smaller..."he pointed out, while his eyes locked admiredly on hers. "You fur is just so elegant... i like it, the color, the pattern; it's absolutely stunning."
Thunder, suddenly remebered his other gift. He pulled out a Sharp Dagger, from it's sheath on a brown belt, that he was wearing like a sash. He gently set it on the ground at her feet. As he pulled away from where he set the dagger, he saw his reflection in it. 'Why do i have to look like a bird?; Like a Toucan?' he thought for a moment, then focused on Rusalka again. "This is for you, Also, so that you may protect yourself if somebody tries to steal your locket... or your beautiful personality" he said, trying not to sound stupid. "We're a lot alike, and in more than one way..."
Then, lovestruck Thunder tripped and fell backwards off the rock, into the river. He yelped as he fell into the rushing water. He felt himself get pulled under by the current. and then thrown onto an island in the middle of the river. He shivered as he fought the current, trrying to pull himself up onto the little island. He listened, more so, now that he was wet.
Thunder got up there, but it took most of his energy, so he turned towards Rusalka's rock, and shakily collapsed. He realized this had made a loud "THUD," but he didn't care, he just wanted to watch Rusalka while he rested. He didn't know what he'd do if she didn't like him, although, he'd probably just disreguard the whole thing... but he would ache for days, weeks, and possibly months. He'd never been in love like this before, in his entire life.
