Amora | Snow Leopard | tagged; no one
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ♔ ▬▬▬▬▬

Delilah was roaming the forest. She was silent. She was listening. It was warm outside, and she felt very out of place.
Her smooth white and speckled coat stood out while the forest surrounding her was green and lush. She enjoyed the
winter much better, she could hide much better and the cold felt much nicer compared to the warm summer. She was
simply wandering around the forest, not far from the clearing. She was looking for a good tree to climb. She came up
to a tree, sure it was on the Amora territory, and stared up at the closest branch. It was thick enough to support her
human form for sure. Delilah's claws stuck out of her paws as she got a running start up the tree. It wasn't hard to climb
trees, it came naturally to her. Once she had reached the clearest branch, she grabbed onto it with her paws quickly
before she switched into her human form.

She sat up in the tree. Her human form weighed much less then her snow leopard form. She was wearing a tan colored
leotard and leggings. She wore nothing on her feet. Her human form made it much easier to handle the heat. As she
stared down at the ground. She could hear the people gathering, for a neutral meeting. Member's of the Rosa clan
irritated her, they had no rules, and their love was too free. She figured she should probably get going. She sat on the
branch, noticing she didn't quite know the proper was to get down. She decided to try a random trick, change form
in mid air. She held her breath as she pushed herself off the edge, the fall was short, but sure enough, about three
feet from the ground, she switched into a snow leopard, and landed on her feet.

She was impressed with herself as she padded out of the forestry into the neutral area. She had her element displayed
by the way little white flowers grew in the footprints she made in the wet ground. Once she had found a place to lay,
where she had a clear view of everyone, of to her clan's side, she waited still and tried to pay attention. It hadn't even
started yet and she could tell it was going to be boring. As she lay, since she wasn't walking anymore, she decided she
would have a bed of flowers. She watched the ground as it bloomed with white and yellow flowers under her.

On silent wings the dove floated through the treetops. The beautiful white creature landed on a branch above the meeting clans and hooted. Unlike most of the others, Margie found the meetings that were held by the clans quite interesting. Her small black eyes spotted Kale, Esmerelda, and Preston, her betrothed. The shifter felt no love toward her future husband. But it was her duty to Celestia to marry him. That was something that was just impossible to argue with. Her own mother had been forced to marry her father. Old traditions were just something not to question. Floating down from the branch she had perched on, Marguerite landed swiftly on the nettle covered forest floor and morphed into a human. It was going to be a long and interesting meeting for sure.

Rank: Healer Crush: Monroe Power: Healing
_______________________________________________

William would jump from his little tree house, it was a far jump but he had done it plenty of times. Stumbling over himself slightly as he walked he would sigh, he needed herbs rare herbs that he couldn't find in rosa territory. The scar on his chest indicated that he was caught once but thankfully escaped. Many people frowned when they noticed his scars, it was odd...people didn't understand that there was different healing powers. Now Will could slightly heal himself but not well he was better at healing others and thins but he only did so when people needed or was dying. It took a lot of energy out of him to heal people, it hurt too he often felt the pain the other was experiencing. So he stuck to herbs with minor things.
His muscles were slight sore though, he had fallen from a tree trying to reach a birds nest, he was an excellent climber but he was heavy so the branch broke. He was just happy no one was there to see. She would shift into his jaguar form, his muscles rippling as he climbed a tree. He was very skilled with jumping from tree to tree, that's how he got around half the time but he always made sure the branches could hold him hen he jumped. Coming towards the gathering his eyes would find someone. His heart would skip as he watched her, he always had his eyes glued to her at gatherings. Monroe that is, he wasn't a fan of gatherings and he knew on a few occasions they have gotten pretty bloody. So he worried for her safety, he worried for his whole clans safety but mostly hers.

His den/tree house was very close to the amore border so he would usual find himself watching to see if anyone came in or out. Now he was watch as shifters would shift. He had alway wanted to sketch Kale's form but he knew that was never going to happen, he didn't have a deer out line in his sketching books and if he did it was of a dead deer ripped to shreds which wasn't helpful. He had wanted to sketch Esmeralda but she was very hidden and hated when someone stared at her too long so she snapped at him when he asked a second time a few months ago. Sitting in the tree he would him softly, looking to see if he could spot the other healers, he love sharing his thoughts with the two females and often never got to. He liked to ask them things and just listen to them talk but at the moment he couldn't see them so he would glance at Monroe for a second. Before watching the leaders.

The morning air was fresh and clean as the scents of other creatures became clear. A small lynx stalked through the forest alert to every noise and movement almost as if he was afraid of the creatures hiding in the forest. The clearing was not far as the clans slowly began to gather for the meeting. It was a time of great cation as any of the members could turn on one another. Ryan only went to hear what had to be said before he would stalk back into the safety of the forest. A small tree stood just over the clearing as Ryan slowed his walk wearing of the larger predators among the clans. In a swift movement, Ryan sat back on his hind legs before leaping half way up the tree. Using his claws he made his way to a branch that allowed the lynx to see almost everyone in the clearing so far. Kale stood proud upon the three stones with the orb of fire gracefully dance above his antlers. Next to him was Esmeralda, the beautiful wolf. Ryan was glad she represented the Rosa clan, though she was the dog and he the cat he kept out of her way. She seemed small as Preston stood near by. The large lion seemed majestic as it stood next to Kale.

Sitting on his haunches he watched the other below. Many were large predators but the leaders knew how to keep order. Kale seemed the weakest as he was the only prey leader but when in a fight, even a normal deer could fight off a predator. If a lynx could laugh Ryan would be. It was comical to see the leaders side by side. Laying on his little branch he waited patiently for the meeting to begin.

Time began to pass and more members began to make their way to the meeting stones. Preston’s eyes fell to the entering dove as it landed among the branches and announced its arrival. He gritted his teeth in his mouth, reminding himself to remain quiet until the other leader arrived. His betrothed, Marguerite, was not exactly what he called his dream girl. She was quite timid and took everything as it was. Preston had never came out to the clan that he was not happy about the arrangement, but he knew in his heart that one day it would be reviewed . He would not marry someone he did not love, even if that meant that he should stay single his entire life.

He was pulled rapidly from his thoughts as he watched Esmeralda make her way down the path to the stones. She had always been the last one to arrive and the first to leave these meetings, although he found it quite amusing. The amount of hate that radiated from her towards Kale was enormous. Preston was just waiting for the day the two would have it out, of course it would not be here. Not in front of all the other members. He let out a muffled chuckle as she spoke, to which he had a cocky response. “Do not get too overworked dear Esmeralda, we do have a meeting to attend to. Besides, last time I checked we were both spoken for men.” He cast a glance her way, before turning back to the members.

Deciding it was time, considering all the leaders were now gathered, Preston took it upon himself to get this meeting started. He took a step back, balancing himself for sometimes the noises that came from within even startled him, Preston raged up a marvelous reverberation in which shook the beautiful garden around his body. As the noise ceased, he encouraged the flora around him to once again become a part of the world, in which it fell to the stone around him, growing a beautiful patch of gardening and moss on the over-sized stone. Once these steps were complete, he allowed himself to shift back to his human form.

For a moment, he eyed the other leaders. His powers seemed quite small compared to theirs, but no one ever really tested the full extent of earth powers. They could be quite frightening, making the gardening skill look as though a cloud in the sky before a storm. As he watched the others perform their own little turns, Preston stood before everyone. “There has been a rising concern among the clans, which I am sure all of you have already heard of. We are having reports that humans are making their ways closer into our territories. Just last week there were two spotted among our boarders, hunting. It is growing quite aware that we must act. Along with this, another matter has come to my attention and I would like to make quite clear the reproductions of it. Border crossing has been more of an issue as of recently and I would like to remind you all how it is handled. I know for a fact those who are caught crossing borders on Celestia Territory are sentenced to death if caught. Keep this in mind as you feel the need to do it.”

Preston eyed the other leaders. He knew that mentioning that their members could be killed if they crossed the border was gutsy, but they had the same laws as many of his. He was just ensuring that perhaps they would listen to their leaders.

she glanced up, only to catch William looking at her momentarily. She smiled softly, and thought of the healer as very kind, and very attractive. She shifted human, dressed in black leggins, a thin, translucent yellow top, with black boots, her hair tumbled down her back, and the ring on her finger prominent as she twirled it around her pale finger. She listened in closely to the leaders sleaking, and began to get bored. Her eyes wandering. She shifted again and slipped into a tree, turning human again she realized what she had done. She had climbed up into the same tree as william.

She held her breath before looking at him. She then smiled, her smile was straight, and large. Ptactically the only thing large about her. Except her appetite. But as she smiled, she noticed something she hadn't ever noticed on William before. He was furrowing his brown in worry, and she wondered what for. She blinked a few times before absent mindeday peeling of a piece of bark from the tree branch she sat upon her eyes focused on the leaders of the clans.

Sitting cross-legged in the grass, her long brunette hair trailing down her back, Marguerite could feel Preston's eyes on her. She chose not to acknowledge him, however. It was no secret that her betrothed practically hated her. Why couldn't he understand that this isn't what she wanted either? But that they both needed to do what must be done? Obviously he didn't. Turning Margie nodded to Delilah, who was the closest to her. The Amur Leopard was sitting in a small garden of flowers. And Marguerite had to admit, the she looked very beautiful. "Hi, Delilah." The smiled shyly, tucking some of her hair behind her ear.

kale dipped his head briefly towards preston as the celestia leader made his way to the stones. his eyes skimmed the ancient looking lion as he stood next to kale. the garden of flowers, vines, and other plants captured the deer's gaze momentarily. he had to admit, it was a beautiful display of the earth element, but he still enjoyed the art of fire over any other element. though he examined the art for a few brief moments, he quickly turned away and faced the approaching shifters. among them he was the only leader he absolutely hated, esmerelda. kale's eyes narrowed temporarily as esmerelda approached the stones. he had a grudge against her for reasons that either weren't her fault or had happened quite some time ago. it didn't matter in his opinion, though. no matter what he'd still dislike her. when she spoke, he simply scoffed and faced forwards.

when preston made his noise and shifted back, kale quickly followed. the flame around his antlers danced as he raised his head and made a high pitched whining sound. as soon as he lowered his head, the flame disappeared and he was a human. he quickly raised his hand and ran it through his slightly messy hair. a rough smile spread across his face as he looked towards esmerelda. it was a dangerous smile, one that intimidated most. he quickly turned away though, because the sound of preston speaking echoed in his ears. he listened closely to the fellow leaders words biting his lip. preston's threat about crossing the border irritated him but it also amused him. what a fool, kale thought as his grin faded away. "i agree with preston about the humans. everyone needs to be careful, especially if you have the shift of a commonly hunted animal. do not show your human form to them no matter what. humans cannot know about our presence in the forest or we will be forced out by their petty government," kale paused as his eyes skimmed the gathered shifters. "preston makes a valid point about borders. i don't want to threaten anyone, but if you are caught in mother amora's land, don't expect to see tomorrow."

sam flapped her wings as hard as she could. once again, much like normal, she was late for the meeting among the three clans. mother rosa would be disappointed in her and that disappointed samantha. as she reached the clearing, the barn owl lifted herself higher into the air. she looped around the clearing a few times before slowly dropping herself closer to the ground. the leaders had already shifted into humans and preston was speaking. sam let out a low 'hoot' sound as she wrapped her sharp talons around a branch. her glossy black eyes shot back and forth as she turned around to face the gathered clans. she secretly enjoyed these meetings. it gave her a chance to mingle and talk with the descendants of mother amora and mother celestia. samantha loved hearing the opinions and voices of those with different beliefs.

sam's eyes dropped down as she looked below her. to her own surprise, a familiar lynx sat on branch. her wing feathers fluffed out as she opened her appendages. she glided off the branch, made a quick turn, and landed a level lower beside the lynx. "hello, ryan," she cooed softly. her glossy black eyes scanned him quickly before looking forwards again. she listened to preston and kale speak of human and border warnings. what a pair of testy males, she thought to herself. samantha looked back at ryan with a turn of her head. "how much of a threat do you think the humans are to us? i mean, they're a problem, but don't we have other problems to worry about like finding the right food or herbs?" she asked. her head turned forwards once again as she listened for a reply. sometimes having ears on the side of her head were really annoying. in order for her to hear people clearly, she'd have to face her ear hole towards them, which meant no eye contact.

With ears perked forward and eyes scanning the clearing, Ryan could only hope this meeting would end soon. It was nice to see the other clans and who still lived within each of the boarders, but the thought of this many in one area set his fur on edge. A light fluttering caught his attention as a barn owl landed just below him. "Why hello Samantha," Ryan slowly stood, balancing on the small branch, and moved a little closer to Sam. "Well, the more common animals, such as the deer or other prey animals, have a higher threat with the humans than the predators or birds. Preston said everyone should be cautious but I think it was more directed towards the prey," He gave Samantha a toothy snarl that he hope she knew was an attempted smile. The thought of humans did not frighten him as much as crossing the boarders and having to face sudden death. At least with humans you could outrun them.
