Makoatl name:
Nami Takiro
Makoatl gender:
Female
EPS: {Yes or No}:
No thank you >w<
Best Adventure you had
Nami's biggest adventure yet is when she had been flown on a helicopter over the Greenland sea and all the way to Quebec, Canada. During the helicopter ride, she has stopped by many states including Florida, Maryland, and New Jersy in the US and met many friends. She had also tried some of the best-tasting fish on her way [Rainbow Trout]. The pilot even suggested going over to the African plains and seeing the zebras and antelope roam. It's obvious she had not taken a straight ride to Quebec and that she had taken many stops. Over the course of the expedition, she has also learned that she had a love for travelling and that she would like to do it more often.

"Merely a Tail-Length."

Best Adventure:
My heart thumped rapidly, adrenaline coursing through my veins. My eyes glimmered like crazed stars, and my mouth could barely stop from letting out the slightest of a purr. My fur trembled with excitement, and my claws gripped onto the warm moist soil. A terrific feeling indeed. This, was what you could call, a hunter drive instinct. It was a beautiful art, one that took time to polish and sharpen.

But let’s get onto the juicier details. It was oh so very close, barely a tail-length away, literally, I mean. You’ll get what I mean later. It seemed to move along swiftly and smoothly, bouncing back from one side to another, as if to mock me, taunt me.

A low, almost silent growl, rumbled within my throat, but it seemed not to notice. The next seconds were a blur. With a screech of a spirited warrior tumbling out, I lunged forward, paws outstretched, teeth bared out, hind legs bunching up muscle and leaping flawlessly in the air. If I could simply hold time within my palm, I would have not only held myself, but the inside chaos and turmoil within me. No, this uncontrollable desire to set my hands upon this utmost lowly creature and feast upon its soul.

A high pitched yowl filled the air as it’s futile struggle. But this time it was different. There was rage in its voice, the sound of a predator, not of a prey. There was only a flicker of shadow and I fell backwards from the force of the unexpected blow. Blinking my eyes, I had realized what I had done.

For it was not a prey, it was a tail, the familiar shark tail of my mother! Her face was seething with anger, her tail curled around her protectively. No, I had only forgotten, this was not such a place of a “jungle”, nor were there any prey that roamed on feet. I only knew of the warm salty beach before us. The chilly breeze that ruffled through my fur, the taste of a slimy fish. I had only dreamt of such a “jungle.” There was not a thing as it were there? I had only ponder. Ah well, you have reached the conclusion of my adventure, my action filled adventure. By now, if you recall, I had only said merely a tail- length away? If you are to follow my story, you are sure to know what I mean by a “tail - length” away. Be sure, to never attack a tail, for that is a vital and surely the most precious point to a mako. And I indeed, took this lesson in well.

Adorael
[Ah-Door-Aye-Ell]

Image
Though there are some who sees this Mako as a female,
I can only see this adorable Makoatl as a male.

Image
Adorael is negative for the EPS syndrome - therefore
he will grow into an adult much like other regular
Makoatls.

Some say, adventure is only for those who know how to cover their tracks. For those who know when to stop and
when to go forward. For those who tend to know the risks but put up mental barriers in order to protect themselves
from harm against said risks. But then again, when has any good adventure featured petty limits for us to follow?
See, this is where my adventure begins - deep within the dangerous heart of The Great Sahara.

For most, the climate would be too tough for those on feet for the hot sand could burn the pads of even the mightiest
of animal's paws, but not I. With a warm breeze blowing through my hair, I turned to face my sibling: a young cheetah,
a male like I, though not as brave at heart, who goes by the name of Lannai. He stood there with a cautious look on
his face, the fur on his back and behind his neck stood up in fear. With dry eyes he looked to me, an expression full
of worry.
''Adorael, mother would not be pleased...''

''Oh please,'' I chuckle, shaking my head at the way he was acting. ''What mother doesn't know wont hurt her''. I simply
looked ahead, lowering my body as my eyes lay upon the thing we were here to catch - a wild warthog. Lannai knelt
down beside me.
''Brother... It's a warthog... you know what they're capable o-''
''Shut it, you'll scare them away,'' I cut him off quickly, my voice barely a whisper. ''Follow me.'' I didn't give him the time
to argue before I slowly advanced. He followed shortly behind me.

Silently, we stalked the prey. It was perfect practice for a young cub such as myself, and I wouldn't forgive myself for
missing an opportunity as rich as this. I stopped and ducked, my brother following suit. I waited for a moment to strike,
growling lowly to myself as my rump wiggled from side to side.
''Three,'' I began to count down. My brother made an attempt to argue but I simply ignored. ''Two,'' my voice got quieter
with anticipation. ''One!''

---

Mother was none impressed when I came home injured. Lannai was unharmed due to him being a coward and staying
behind instead of charging, which I was both annoyed and glad about. But in the end, I caught it - with the sacrifice of
some cuts and bruises, and a slight concussion in the end, I took the hog back to my mother and although I had to give
up play for a few days, the thrill of the adventure would soon be back in my grasp - after all, mom's going to show me
how to hunt properly as of next week.
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
Image
Adorael, the son of two Makoatls who abandoned him due to them unable to support such a young and dependant babe,
was adopted by a cheetah mother who had lost one of her sons to the wilderness which was the great sahara. Mistaken
for another Cheetah cub, the lone female took the scuff of the runt and took him back to her den where her blood-born
son, Lannai, was sleeping soundly.

It was not until she was back at the place in which he and her blood-born called home that she realised the tail on the cub
which she had bought back to her home was not like her own nor her babe's. Half of her wished for her to let it to fend for
itself for she did not know the species, or if it's parents would come looking for it. But the soft cries and squeaks coming
from the small one's hungry lips were to heart breaking for her to ignore, and thus she gave him the name she would have
placed upon Lannai's brother if he had lived - Adorael.

As she watched the little one grow along side his rather sickly brother, the woman in which he now called mama wondered
why he would have just been abandoned like that. She thought many things: that it was probably due to him being a
runt - though, not to her knowledge, that was near enough impossible - being sickly, diseased, or simply because he was
too much for his birth parents to cope with.

Adorael was always smaller in comparason - he must have been born a week or so after Lannai - but it was obvious that
he was the more dominant figure of the two as he always would start the fights or bickering's between each other. Even
though they shared a bitterness, the two were inseparable. They helped each other as they grew - Lannai grew to learn
that not all people are the same, look the same, and to not judge on looks, and Adorael grew to learn that if it wasn't
for Lannai's level-head, he would probably be hog food by now.

One thing though that Lannai and his blood-mother would never share is to tell Adorael that he was not a cheetah - not
at this age. Lannai was the more mature of the two and knew roughly about Adorael's past. He had learned when he
bought up to his mother about Adorael's tail and how it was much different than his own. His mother was honest with
her son and told him the story of how she found the runt in the middle of the desert, and how she took him under her
wing despite his differences - though, she did warn him that if he were to tell Adorael the same tale he may not be so
kind. She told Lannai how he may not accept the fact he was abandoned by his birth parents, that the words could scar
him and that he was much too young - weather or not Lannai will heed her warnings is one thing, but how Adorael will
react is another.

And so this is where it leads him to today - a troublesome little male who is always looking and searching for what he
calls 'adventure' but ultimately leads him to trouble, who without his brother with the wit and talent to talk him out of
any situation by his side would probably be with the earth once more.

└───────────────────────────┘



Best Adventure you had:
(In Alexander's perspective)
It was very dark inside the building. Of course Alexander did choose to investigate late at night. It looked like a run down factory on the outside, but inside it seemed very much alive. dim lights lined the hallways, and soft breathing and whispered conversations could be heard throughout the place. He had heard of many stories of this place before he decided to investigate. Most people just told him that vagrants lived there, his friends all said that it was haunted, and others said that it wasn't anything special, that it was run by an eccentric individual who didn't want people to visit or steal their ideas.
Up ahead a bright light filtering through a crack in a door caught his attention. What could possibly be in there, maybe a ghost, or another little kid? Alexander was about to find out as he crept through the doorway on his belly. Shadows loomed around the walls as the light faded towards the interior of the room. It had a very dull atmosphere, very much like an office, the walls were a shade of dull grey and the floor was some shade of dark brown and the furniture just blended into the room. Then a figure made itself known as it looked towards the hallway that lead to the door. Hiding within the shadows, Alexander watched the coppery body in front of him with mischievous eyes.
"Who is hiding there?" a gravelly voice called out to the shadows.
"Who is there?" Alexander called back, snickering to himself.
"Well, I am the owner of this Factory... Luce. Now who are you?"
"King Alexander!"
A moment of silence filled the room before a deep, hoarse chuckle came from Luce, "Well, King Alexander, I'm humbled by your presence here in my factory. What brings you here?" Luce bowed his head to Alexander as he spoke, only looking up as he asked his question. Alexander wasn't sure how to answer, but he decided to step out into the light and strike a confident pose before replying.
"I am here to... See how this part of my kingdom is doing. Noble Luce, what is the report?" Alexander managed his most robust tone as he spoke. He slightly smiled to himself as Luce played along with him and gave him a status report of the Factory as well as suggestions on how to improve the status. Alexander listened carefully, not quite sure of what all of the things were but he addressed all the problems to the best of his understanding. Luce bowed again and thanked Alexander for his visit and help as well as inviting him back to check on the Factory. Alexander left the place glowing, excited to come back to visit, if the owner was willing to play along late at night, possibly the other residents would prove fun company. It was the best experience for Alexander.

Makoatl name:
Nkiruka, Ruka for short.
Name Meaning:
"one who is small"
Makoatl gender:
female
EPS: {Yes or No}:
yes, she is EPS positive.
Best Adventure you had:

"hey, destiny?" ruka asks her best friend while lifting up rocks in the savannah, looking for the lizard they had caught earlier on one of their many unusual adventures. "eeyah? what?" destiny calls from about ten feet away at a different rock formation, looking for the lizard as well. ruka stopped looking and sat in the dry sandy dirt. "do you think my parents ever think of me?" destiny brought her head up and looked at her best friend. "ru, i'm really sure they do. maybe.. maybe they just weren't able to take care of you, that's all. but, aren't you also glad that we found you?" ruka nodded and smiled, nudging destiny's side playfully. the lion cub growled and pinned ruka to the ground, bared teeth inches from the mako's face. ruka knew the small lion was only playing, but still, ruka fought back by swiping destiny off of her feet with the big shark tail of hers and pinned destiny down. "how does it feel now?!?!!" they both laughed and ruka climbed off and bumped into destiny with a smile. "let's go find that lizard!" ruka howled and bounded through the tall grass happily.
soon enough, the two were separated. ruka looked around frantically and jumped up to look above the grass, but failed. "destiny?! des, please!! answer!" suddenly a scream that sounded too much like destiny emerged in the direction behind her. ruka gasped and ran towards. suddenly, ruka was tackled from the left side into more brush. grass was hiding the attackers face, but by the weight and the feel of the paw size ruka knew it was des. "you.. you butt!" ruka managed as she got out from underneath the lion cub. "yes, i do have one." destiny answered back, shaking her back end at ruka. ruka swiped at her back end and snagged a few strands of tan yellow fur. destiny faked a yelped. "okay, okay. sorry. i found the opportunity and i struck. i had to, ru!" ruka narrowed her eyes at her sister.
soon enough, a green and purple flash ran out from under ruka and climbed up destiny's arm, sat on her head then jumped to ruka's head. the two females ran around each other trying to catch the small reptile. they hit each others' head and fell down, laughing. "stupid little thing." they both said.

Re: Makoatl #148

Postby Novi » Mon Aug 25, 2014 11:49 am

Makoatl name: Shanika, meaning "young one from the wilderness" in African.
Makoatl gender: Female.
Makoatl age: Five (5) years.
EPS: As cute as I think she is right now, I'd like her to grow up, so no.
Best Adventure she's had: Shanika's best adventure occurred when she was much younger than this - around two years old. Her mother, sadly enough, had disappeared one night, so Shanika went to look for her. She searched for hours on end, which soon turned into days. She occasionally got food and shelter from pitiful adult Makoatls that felt bad for the poor pup, but was quickly losing hope. On the fifth day of her journey to find her mother, Shanika's legs were weak from walking so much. She was restless and exhausted, but did not want to sleep until she found her mother. So onward she went, continuing her adventure until finally, only hours into the day, she collapsed from exhaustion. Shanika whimpered pitifully, trying to stand, but finding that her legs hurt too much to continue on. She thought that it was the end of the road for her; that she was going to die. Shanika closed her eyes, fully giving in to defeat, when suddenly...
"Who're you?"
The voice was gruff, and had a slightly confused hint in it. Shanika looked up weakly to see an older Makoatl standing above her. His fur was littered with scars, and his left eye was blinded by three scratch marks. She took note that his back right leg was limp, and had a large bite mark on the back.
The male quirked a brow at her and leaned down, sniffing at the young pup. "Weak little thing," he grumbled sourly, glaring down at her.
Shanika whined sadly. She didn't like the tone of the older Makoatl's voice, and frankly, she was quite scared of him. Was he going to hurt her?
Her question seemed to be answered when the male leaned down and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, turning and padding away. Shanika panicked almost immediately, squirming and wriggling weakly in his grasp, but to no avail. The male growled, silencing her cries right away. She looked up at the older Makoatl, tiny tears stinging at the corners of her eyes. He seemed not to notice, and instead carried her along until they reached a small cave, a little ways away from the shoreline of the ocean. Once they were inside, the male dropped her down gently onto the hard, rocky floor, and walked towards the maw of the cave, peering outside.
Shanika shook her head and hesitantly padded over to the older Mako, her legs feeling a bit stronger from the rest she'd had while being carried. "Uh, M-Mister...?" she said meekly, flinching when his head whipped around to stare at her. "W-where am I?"
The older Mako was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Home, I guess," he started. "Can't resist a pup down on their luck. You are homeless, right?" He narrowed his eyes at her and she winced again.
"Y-yes, sir..."
---
From that moment on, Shanika had found a new home with the older Makoatl. And she admits that it was the best decision she'd ever made.
500 words exactly.

Now that the existential crisis has passed, I'm not leaving! Sorry for the momentary scare, folks!

Best Adventure you had {482}
I knew I shouldn't have ran off. I was told to stay home and wait for mom's return, but something was calling for me to get out there and find it! So, I did and well the big bad world isn't as big and bad as mom said it was.
As soon as mom left I exited the den and went the opposite direction, I don't know why I decided to go that way I just did. It was a really hot day out and I tried to stay in the shadey parts of the water, but it can be rather hard sometimes. I swam towards the bright coral reef that I had seen countless times before but it felt so much better now that I wasn’t under my mom’s watchful gaze. Weaving as fast as I could through the plants and animals I watched as other kids, both Mako and non-mako played together. I wished I had friends but for some reason no one ever wanted to talk to me, so I kept to myself. My own fear stopping me from introductions.
I continued on my journey to the outskirts of the coral reef by this time the water was beginning to become ragged, a storm was coming and that was why my mom wanted me to stay home safe. I hadn’t paid attention to the earlier signs too pre-occupied with the new adventure to care. Now I regretted it. There was no place for me to turn when the lightning crashed overhead and the water became rampant. Looking around I found a small cove that could protect me from the storm and dashed into it, but when I entered I didn’t hit the hard edges of coral or stone but a squishy, fleshy like substance. Backing up to the point of being half in and half out of the cove I saw that I wasn’t the only occupant. “He… hello.” I said to the flat creature before me. “Hi, You got caught too huh?” it asked and I nodded just before a loud crack of thunder hit and I dashed back inside, “I’m… I’m sorry. I don’t like storms.” I say to the thing and it shrugs. “Me neither. I’m Meeko.”
“I’m Michaela… What are you? You look like me.”
“Hello Michaela. Me? I’m a spotted eagleray.”
“I’ve never seen anyone around here like you before.”
“You wouldn’t I’m alone.”
My heart broke and I knew then that he would be my new friend.
“Well Meeko, you don’t have to worry about that anymore! Would you like to be my brother?”
Meeko’s eyes lit up and he simply nodded. “I would like that very much.”
From that moment on we were no longer alone, instead we had each other.
Yeah mom was angry but she got over it, especially after I introduced Meeko, who has been my constant companion since.
