Veiled by a Song: PM to Join (Fox RP)

[Calypso Sky]

((I'm warning you, this is really long. But there's a lot of information in here so take the time to read it and make sure you get all the facts straight. The non-talking parts are in red.))

Soul smiled when the leash was fully gathered beneath him, he truly loved each and every fox that was there. "My friends," he started, his voice ringing across the clearing, "I have much, much news to bear you this evening. I wish that I could tell you that this is the worst it's going to get, with the wolves this morning, and Creo later on... But Zargon will stop at nothing to spread his evil and his demons, and I can't shake off the feeling that it's going to get much worse before it gets better. Firstly, as many of you might have noticed, Copper and Sadira were out together throughout most of the day, and I have to sadly inform you that Sadira left. Yes, she just pricked her ears up as though she heard something, kissed Copper a goodbye, turned tail and vanished. He looked for her relentlessly, and I'm sure that the warrior patrol would have scented something if she was near. It breaks my heart to lose her..." He trailed off, shaking his head sadly before continuing, "Next, I would like to inform you that Creo is dead. Luckily, the only big injury is the one on my shoulder: our leash holds the best warriors of the forest, be proud of yourselves. Creo's eyes were swimming with demons, and he was truly and honestly possessed by Zargon. Although it was nececessary to kill him, it is still hard on the leash to lose a strong and powerful warrior. From the evils of the monster, comes hope though. As you can see, I have welcomed Flare back into the leash. He was manipulated by Creo, and he is not who his brother was. Be sympathetic of what he has been through." Soul dipped his head to the apprentice and glanced around the clearing, letting the meaning of his words sink in before he took a deep breath and spoke again, "Third, I've noticed you all eyeing the newcomer sitting here. His name is Heron and he will be staying with us as long as he likes, and will be sharing his story with Ryuu, Leaf Fall, and myself later tonight. He is wise in the ways of the world, and I expect the utmost respect towards him, regardless of his appearances." Soul looked at his leash seriously for as long as he could, before breaking out into a grin and giving a small bark in delight. Standing up on his stump, his eyes twinkling he said, "Excuse my excitement, but Jupiter has found the first key! We will all sleep well tonight, for when she places the ruby key into the Ancient Rock, we'll hear part of Kinari's song! Now is the time for rest," he said to the foxes, "Tomorrow morning, I'll organize patrols and we will feast and celebrate tomorrow evening! I expect everyone in their dens except for Jupiter, Ryuu, Leaf Fall, Heron, Shiko, and myself. We'll place the key in the rock when you're all in your dens, so get moving! Sweet dreams my brothers and sisters..." Soul jumped down from the stump and waited for everyone to get to where they were suppossed to be. His eyes shone and he began to weave through the foxes as they went to their dens, exchanging a few words with them as they settled down for the night.

Phantom listened intently to Soul's fast words. He gasped at the part about Sadira and Creo being dead. He felt an sad and a little blue for the loss of Sadira, but not Creo that much. Phantom's blueness about Sadira leaving faded at the part of a key being found. Eyes shining with excitement, joy plopped inside him. Finally a good night's slumber for the leash! But something blocked him from going to his den. But he allowed it to slip for tomorrow and began to walk to the warriors and hunters den.

Apollo let out a howl of excitement. "The first key was found!!" Despite the unfortunate events that occured earlier, Apollo couldn't help but feel overjoyed at this wonderful news.

[Super Nova Wolf]

((That was long @.@))
Sasha held a sraight face. Right after Soul had said that Heron was staying she murmered back to Apollo, "Let him stay." She was happy that the first key was found and they would fall asleep to part of Kinari's song. Kinari was a beautiful part of the leash; if only Sasha was so beautiful she would finally have the love of one of the strong male foxes and the kits that she secretly wanted so much.

Kiki nodded at the end of the speech. She didn't want to go to the den and leave Ryuu to be up close and personal with the fox that he feared so much. She had to talk to Soul. She gracefully weaved through other foxes to her way to the leader of the leash.

[Calypso Sky]

((Yeah, sorry... So much happened though! xD Kikiara, your post with Kiki is so like, gramataically correct and Sasha's has a few errors, it's so weird XDD))

"Good night Flare!" Raven exclaimed, not minding that they would have to be separated for the night. Jupiter had found the first key, and the hunter couldn't wait to see what would happen next! She weaved through the crowded clearing and went to the back of the den, noticing that Phantom was the only other one there. Sighing, she pulled her moss together and lay down, her eyes wide open as she waited for the key to be placed in the Rock.

Copper looked kind of dazed after Soul's news. There's so much going on, he thought. He went to the side of the clearing and stretched, enjoying the night breeze that was passing through. After he felt as though he had loosened up a bit, the warrior apprentice headed into the apprentice's den. He picked up Sadira's moss and combined it with his own, her absense pricked like a thorn in his heart. He curled up into a ball on his nest and put his three tails over himself. Copper was wide awake, but he didn't feel like making conversation with anyone, and he waited for the others to get into their dens so that the song could be heard.

As Soul smiled and laughed with the foxes heading to their dens, he noticed Kiki lingering beside him. The leader turned and focused his attention on her, a furrow appearing between his eyes as he asked, "What is it?"

[Super Nova Wolf]

"Ryuu is scared to death of Heron. You honestly can't have a little kit be in front of his worst nightmare and think they'll be fine can you?" Kiki asked feeling sympathetic for Ryuu.

Sasha made her way back to the den as she was day dreaming a little about having kits. She wasn't really paying attention to the real world and she tripped over a tree root.
((XD I don't mean to! Everyone makes mistakes sometimes))

[єναи]

"Good night." Phantom smiled as Raven came into the den. He laid on top of his part of the cool moss, rubbing his scent on it even though his scent had been on it for years already. But he wanted to get as comfortable as could be, for this was the day the first part, of the great Kinari's song would be sang.

[Calypso Sky]

"Good night Phantom," And then as the warrior came in Raven said, "Good night Sasha. Sleep well, both of you."

Soul threw his head back and laughed so hard, tears began to form in his eyes. When he had regained some composure, he looked back at the hunter and put a paw on her shoulder, making eye contact. "Dear Kiki," he said, still chuckling, "I think there is very, very little that Ryuu is afraid of. That's why I made him SIC warrior. Heron is just another fox. Granted, a large, wise, older fox, but he's just another one of us all the same. He's nothing like Creo, and therefore nothing to be afraid of." He put his paw back down on the ground and stood up. "Good night," he said, "If there's ever anything else, let me know, okay?"

[Super Nova Wolf]

Kiki laughed. Ryuu was a great warrior. She didn't want to keep the leader of the leash busy. "Okay," she said quietly and walked back towards Yuri. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked softly when she arrived.

Sasha quickly hopped back up onto her feet and chuckled to herself. She walked into the den and lay in her spot on the soft moss. She took a deep breath of fresh air before she finally closed her eyes in peace.

[єναи]

Phantom smiled and snuggled into a curled up ball, tail flopped over nose. But he kept his ears pricked, so that the part of the forest song would fly into his ears. He waited excitedly, eyes closing into a state of peace as he waited for the first key to be placed into the stone and for the first song to begin.
