The Savannah's Rebellion ~Accepting~

[diatomdude]

((Since Kiatcha seems to be otherwise occupied, and Meekar needs some love, he isn't going back to the cave just yet.... XD))

A gust of wind swept across the mountain, buffetting Meekar's thick pelt. He smiled through the plants that he held in his mouth, and looked up at the sky. For a moment, he was startled at how dark the clouds had become, and wondered how he hadn't noticed any shift in the air's scent. Then he remembered the leaves. He dropped them on the rocks, carefully placing a paw atop them so that they wouldn't blow away, and scented the breeze. Cold, crisp but slightly moist air met him, and he sighed happily. How long had it been since he had last seen the clean, white beauty of a mountain snow. Deciding not to go back to th cave just yet, but wanting a bit of shelter in case it got nasty, Meekar decided to head in the opposite direction of th cave, towards the base of a sheer face where he knew it the storm would be less nasty. So he picked up his plants once more and padded off.

(Don't worry kids. Smoke will be back.. eventually. >:D)
Smoke was trying to track down the mountain goat he;d seen earlier. He found himself walking into a lightly wooded area, with stubby, roughly barked trees bad a cold, narrow stream. He walked over, lowering his dark head for a drink. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his side. Before he could see what it was, he felt woozy, and slumped over to the ground.

((?? The adventure deepens XD))

Meekar reached the area he had spotted earlier, and stashing the herb he had found in a sheltered crevice, he lay down on the cool boulders, and settled down to wait for the snow to come. He realized that his leg felt a lot better today. Maybe he would be able to let go a bit and run amok in the snow, as he and Kiatcha had when they were cubs. Meekar smiled to himself, remembering the days before they had been forced from their home, the days when their mother had still been alive and they'd played in the snow, secure and happy. Those days might be gone now, but, Meekar reminded himself, they had a chance now, with this pride, to be that happy again, even without snow. He grinned at this thought, and lay his head down on his paws. For a moment, he thought he picked up Smoke's scent on the breeze, but it was gone as quickly as it had appeared, and it slid from his mind, forgotten, as the first tiny snowflakes began to fall.

(The leopards should return without them. :OO)
Rosemary yawned. A light drizzle was falling on the Savannah, and she was tired from the excitement of the day's events. The small spotted female curled up in the shelter of a small rock.

[diatomdude]

((Ooohh!! *evil smile* I like that idea..... ))

Kiatcha almost jumped into the air as a prickly cold snowflake landed in her ear, startleing her. She watched in dismay as more fell, coming down faster and thicker as she watched. She looks back at Avalon in dismay. There was no way they would be able to find them in this, and it looked like it was just going to get worse. She stood, frozen, as the falling snow began to form a rapidly thickening layer of white over everything and anything exposed to the cold winds. Though she knew, logically, that she should be more worried for Meekar, her brother, she couldn't banish thoughts of Smoke, alone and cold in the snow, in unfamiliar and dangerous terrain. At least Meekar knew how to find shelter, heck he was probably enjoying himself out there, but Smoke had no knowledge of this kind of thing, and somehow she felt nothing good was going to come of it.

(It's nearly 10:00 gotta to sleep. Bye)

Nala lapped up some water from the watering hole her blue-green eyes sparkled in the light and her tail twitched

[asexual pirate;;]

Lightning still looked slightly dejected. "I know...but," she sighed. "I think I'm gonna go see the fire damage," she said, lifting her tail a bit.

Avalon's golden eyes blinked at the snow. "Oh, that's coming down hard," she murmured, padding to the edge of the cave, she batted at the white flakes expiermentally, sighing as they landed and melted on her sore pads, numbing them.

Smoke woke up in a small, dark, enclosed space. Something strange pinched his neck, rubbing against his skin and making it sore and achy. He tried to twist his head aorund to see what it was, but his movement was restrained. Growling in frustration, he saw a small crack of light in between two of the long boards that made up his prison. He crouched and half-crawled, half walked over, the low ceiling of the place restraining his movements. He peered out, and saw trees and ground rushing by at an impossible pace. He yelped as he felt the ground beneath him rumble and shake. His mother had told of great vibrations that cracked the very ground and shattered trees like bones in the jaws of a crocodile. but, if this really was one of those great events, surely this place would have crumbled. Making a low, gritty noise in his throat, he flopped back down, resting his head on his paws.

[diatomdude]

((Oh noes! What will happen to Smoke? :O I'm liking where this is going... XD ))

Meekar watched the snow fall, happily sticking out his tongue and enjoying the feeling of it as the tiny flakes dissapeared. Suddenly, the sharp noise of moving rocks jolted him from his happy moment, and a scent wafted up to him from the slope behind him. He growled feircely, the hair on his back and neck rising unbidden at the hateful smell. Humans. He wipped around, and saw one standing above him, the expression on it's ugly, hairless face surprised. It was holding something long in it's horrid hands, something that Meekar remebered from the day he had lost everything. A death-stick, that was what they had called it, because death was what it brought. And though this one looked a bit different, with bits of blue feathers sticking out, he thought it the same type. Meekar knew there was no escaping that despicable device. And so, without much thought, and before the human could regain it's composure and fire, Meekar launched himself, claws out and mouth open in a snarl, up the slope and onto this hated creature.
