Aww boy those are so beautiful. I like the first one since it relates to me by personality wise and the second male is stunning in beauty. Congrats on you new cubs. (:
Also Happy Valentines Day.

Because I enjoyed making Kat's cub so much, and some time has opened up for me, I'm gonna go ahead and open up one more breeding slot!

I'm gonna be a little strange here though. For your offering, I'd like you to show how your Ahzenai would approach the vortex with their request to mate. It can be a story, or visual art. The one I (as the vortex this time around xD) like the most will be the one who finds out, however they will not know until their cub emerges.

Ok, now....go!

Ryko's Plea

Ryko hesitated as he watched the people within the cavern of Ahzen talk amongst themselves, excitement brewing beneath the surface as the newly created Ahzenai retreated to their new masters and the cubs greeted their families. He glanced back, spotting Zennith. She was as beautiful as always, he black and white form shyly standing aside. He felt a momentary pull at his heart, turning his gaze back to the vortex. He grimaced, realizing that their was no other option. He took a hesitant step forward, his lithe form wary and hunched as he approached the vortex.

Silence descended upon the cavern as eyes turned to him, startled to see the giant Ahzenai standing upon the platform where the vortex swirled quietly. He stood before it for a few seconds before dropping to his knees.
"I would like... to make a request..."
He whispered, his voice deep and tentative. Fear was crawling in his stomach, but he ignored it. Whispers raced throughout the cavern like buzzing bees. He almost could sense his desired mate glancing up, staring at him in surprise. An Ahzenai making a request to the vortex? Was this how it worked? He cleared his throat, feeling as if his heart would jump into his throat. However his exterior remained calm and cool. His muscles were tense though, flexing beneath his shimmering fur.

"Can you grant me what I seek most? Can you grant me a family?"
He whispered, looking into the swirling colors of the vortex. He could almost hear the exclamations of surprise behind him, however his ears were deaf to sound as he stared into what couldn't possibly be described as anything but ethereal. He was amazed at what he saw. Within the vortex were endless possibilities. Colors of known and unknown, swirling chaotically without sense or direction. It was mesmerizing and graceful, holding a sort of beauty that could only come with grace of life. He could hear Zennith gasp, tears flooding her eyes as a smile broke across her face. Pride grew in his chest and he straightened somewhat, his voice stronger.
"Can you grant me a mate? Can you grant me with a child?"

[Shiko Hayashi]

Will most definitely be drawing that scene. I've really fallen in love with it, and I cannot wait to put the image down on paper.
^_^

I like the idea of the males having to ask the vortex. Similar to how the guys have to get down on one knee and ask for marriage, it makes sense for the males to have to get down on one knee and ask for a mate, and a family. Kind of cute too, because some males are really self-conscious about this stuff. <333

Please don't double post next time ouo

The vortex shone brightly once again, swirling and spinning violently. There seemed to be something strange this time. The vortex lurched and flared in odd directions, and flashes of various colors seemed to appear briefly before disappearing again. It continued this strange behavior for nearly half an hour, drawing anxious stares from various Ahzenai who realized that something was terribly wrong.

Only one Ahzenai in the cavern was smiling.

Embilia grinned and chuckled to herself. She recognized these symptoms as she had been born in just such an unusual flare-up. Embelia was the twin sister to Valcyon, after all. She padded forward to watch the proceedings. The vortex was not meant to bring twins into Ahzen. Multiple Ahzenai in quick succession perhaps, but not at once. She licked her chops, sensing chaos close by.

The vortex gave one last lurch and stretched to a much larger size. Two Ahzenai heads pushed through the center, as if struggling with the vortex itself. Then they were free, expelled forcefully from within. They picked themselves up and shook themselves off. Two sisters, it seemed. Valcyon ran towards them in concern. But the vortex was not finished.

The myriad of colors that had swirled within them before was now replaced by inky black and blood red. The vortex was now smaller, but still churned violently. With a cough, it finally let out another Ahzenai. This one leaped out of the vortex roaring as if in rage or pain -- no one could tell which. He glared at his two sisters and immediately took an aggressive stance, baring his teeth and snarling. The two sisters seemed surprised, but immediately prepared to defend themselves. The black Ahzenai crouched to launch himself at them.

"CEASE!" Valcyon roared. Everyone in Ahzen froze and fell silent. Even the vortex dimmed down to a faint glimmer. Valcyon growled, "There will be no violence here. Do you understand?" He looked around the cavern. "Does everyone understand?" There were several hurried nods and murmurs. "Good," Valcyon continued, "Please welcome Naletha, Persica,...and Sang."

Naletha glanced nervously at her sister. "Well then..." she murmured. She peered at the people around her, protectively edging closer to Persica. "I think this will be interesting, don't you? I just hope that Sang doesn't try anything again. Even if he does though," she paused to lick her sister's ear, "I won't let anything happen to you."

Persica nodded quietly, letting the slightly larger Naletha lick her ear. "These people seem friendly though. I'm sure we'll be alright." She timidly took a step forward. "Can we go lie in the sun?" She looked at Naletha, who nudged her shoulder lovingly. The two sisters made their way to a warm spot of sunlight and lay down to rest from their unusual ordeal.

Sang growled quietly to himself, but stood down. Valcyon was much larger and stronger than he; even he could see that attacking him would be folly. The black Ahzenai padded away into a shadowed corner, glaring at the rest of Ahzen. He reacted violently toward any visitors, and never uttered a single word between his primal snarls.

Embelia grinned. The vortex giving birth to multiple Ahzenai was an extremely rare occurrence -- and rightfully so. In this situation, the vortex often seemed to miss something in one of the Ahz -- something important. Embelia herself was a victim. She too stayed in the shadows, watching for who would dare approach this fractured Ahzenai.

These will be judged on Saturday, March 2nd. And it will actually be on that date this time. BI

[Queen Vivane]

Can we apply for just one of the three?

[Onyxeva]

You can apply for all three, but you can only win one. ouo

[Queen Vivane]

Sorry I worded my question wrong ^^;; I meant to ask if we can choose to approach just one of them or is it required to go for all three?

[Noctilida]

Of course you can do it individually. As long as we know who you're trying to woo, you should be good. ouo b
