Arthes gasped at the reason the patch had been gruff. It was carved. She put her other hand on it and read the initials. A P. It was so odd, to find a stone out here in the wild, carved with initials. She put the stone into Winter's pouch and changed to a grizzly. Her paws were loud as she walked to the water hole. It lead to the river, and was the perfect place to get something to eat. Winter followed her along, jumping on every fallen log and pile of sticks along the way. Sunlight shining in Arthes's eye told her she had arrived. The sun was glinting at the slowly moving water. Winter hopped onto a stump, as to not frighten the fish, and Arthes went to her usual fishing spot. The stone had been worn away, in the shape of four grizzly paw pads, one of the front not as deep as the rest. Arthes leaned over, trying to catch how many fish were there. She brought up a paw, ready to strike. The fish would have to swim through here, and she could reach the other side. There was no escaping.

Well just my luck I guess you could say. I really did hope that they would just keep moving and not look back, but then again in this world that never happens. I was actually rather surprised neither of them attacked, normally they would. After all this world was a dog eat dog world now. With those cursed Flares about and then the normal humans. Everything was crazy and dangerous. But here I was standing before beings that probably belonged to some type of community and by how they spoke I figured it to be true. I stared back at the cold blue eyes of the boy with my own grey eyes that shown colder than his. There was no way this boy could have witness or experienced everything I have gone through when he lived in a protected community. He could have had some bad experienced but not anything like I have dealt with my entire life, so yes it is understandable why my eyes would be colder than his. As I actually listen to the male speak a grin started to form over my lips. I just watched and listened to him as the tigress dropped her section of the prey and moved up next to her friend. My eyes turned from him to the female as I listen to the growling being emitted from her. It was all for show, all of a warning one but still rather amusing. I listened to her as she spoke, basically saying the same as the male. As she did speak my grin just grew until I could not help it. I just could not anymore these two were so priceless.

Suddenly out of no where, I bellowed out in laughter. I just could not help it, not at all. At the same time when the girl shifted from tiger human, it did not phase me at all. I figured before hand that they were the same species as me, more for the fact of no true wild tiger would hunt with a human in this world. I just kept laughing for a little while before finally stopping, whipping the tears from my eyes as I looked back at them. "I am sorry, but you two are well... never mind." I said to them as I straighten up some before looking up at the sky. My voice was cold and toneless. "I thank you for your warning but ya don't need to worry. There nothing this forest, no this territory can throw at me that I can not deal with." I said to them basically saying that I could handle anything they tried to do with me and I probably could. Like I said, I have delt with much out there on my own.

Well I had a quite run at first. I thought she would not follow, no I hoped she would not actually but I guess it was not meant to be. A small growl like sound was emitted from me as just kept running. I did not care about the human following me but once she turned into a horse that did. Well there goes my nice little run. My tail flickered in frustration as I just kept running. As I ran I started to ignore the fact that there was now a charging horse after me. I ignored the fact that if I slowed up even the slightest I could get trampled actually. With out letting up a bit I kept running, right through the forest and to the valley. It was as I neared the valley that I suddenly stopped.

I quickly moved out of the way of the thundering hooves before I shifted into a human. I picked up a stone and tossed it right at the mare, hopping one to stop her and two to get her back here quickly. Something was not right, right beyond the forest trees, something was out there that was not good.

Isabella smiled "Is someone an angry buck?" she said then climbing the tree and sitting on the branch again.She watched Synn making his trap thingies and smiled.She had had a crush on him for a while but hid it,They seemed more best friendish than lovers.She then looked over at Taylor wondering what she was doing before she leapt off the high branch again and sat in the shade underneath the large tree and continued watching Synn do his thing "Wouldn't that be easier in human form?" she said to him wondering why he stayed in his White Deer form when she didn't see the need.

Arthes|Female|Rogue|Grizzly Bear|Open

Arthes looked into the flickering water, her paw still held high. She saw a silvery fish swimming down the stream, oblivious to the shadow Arthes cast. With little effort, Arthes scooped it out and bit it's back to kill it. She turned to look at Winter, who was dancing all around on her hind legs, the way she always did when Arthes made a catch. She picked up the fish in her mighty jaws and walked back over the stream. Winter took the fish into her jaws as Arthes changed back to her human form. She laughed and tried to grab the slippery fish, but Winter wouldn't let go. "Winter! That's my lunch!", she growled, face turning red.

Taylor still sat on her large, thick branch, her legs hanging over it, watching as 'Mister Buck' worked away on his trap. She kinda liked the nickname she had just created that morning for Synn, and she knew it was going stick. And considering, she figured he knew it too. Her eyes hadn't left the buck as Bella, what she had always called the leopard, messed around with his antlers, and watched as he just brushed her aside. She couldn't help but feel a small smile come to her mouth, despite wanting not to, and not knowing why. Maybe it was how tedious he was with his work. Maybe it wasn't. She wasn't sure, and she truly didn't care much.

As he pushed her off and to the side, she now knew it was time to begin heading on to the next, and nodding to herself, she slowly stood on the branch, having to almost squat due to the next branch being where her head should be, and then leapt off, and only a few inches away from the ground, she flew up with extended wings, using momentum to fly up without flapping her wings once. Now hovering, she said, "Well, see ya' 'round, Bella!" she cawed out, not expecting for her to follow them farther. Letting out an owl sigh, she flew quickly, and caught up with the buck.

May could sense something was going to go down, and she was /not/ going to be in the middle of it. She eyed the two who were locked into a battle of wills, and gulped. Her jaw was clenched, her hands stuffed into her pockets to keep the others from seeing them balled into fists. And slightly quivering. Her gray-green eyes would not stay on one place for a long point of time. They bounced from her fellow villager, to the stray of the forest.
She was slightly disturbed though, and angered, when the strange female laughed at them, saying they knew /nothing/ compared to what she knew. 'How the hell would that be possible? Who the heck cares if you're a loner! We've had friends and family and villagers just vanish from wandering into the forest! We've dealt with crap that would have made almost anyone break! And yet here we are.' She thought to herself, her jaw clenched. But, there was one thing that set her off. When a tiger spoke. When a tiger transformed into a human. She didn't even blink an eye. So that must mean...Her eyes instantly narrowed, and she let out a growl. "You are one of us," she stated quietly, mainly to herself, but knowing quite well the stranger would be able to hear her.

Kenton -- Panther -- Aerona, Angelia

A battle of stares was going on here. Kenton reached deeply into the pits of his very soul. If it was a contest of coldness, he could freeze hell. Darkness surrounded him, although his stance did not change. The very air ripple. There were many things the world didn't know about him, or his past. It was a cruel story, one that he could not tell without ripping long claw marks in tree trunks and destroying himself from the inside out.
He watched her laugh, and Hell started to split and steam with ice as the ocean blue turmoil of his eyes calmed until it was eerily still. She mocks us. There it was, his pride. His downfall? Sometimes. Right now he could feel his blood freezing too, where another's might boil. Rage.
Justified?
Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
Calmness like this was always more frightening than an explosion. When contained, it multiplied itself over and over again. Exploded, it was only wasted and gone. Like this Kenton could hold it in as long as he pleased or let it funnel out slowly, bit-by-bit. Now, what words to choose. He released his prey. There was no need to shift. As a human being he was menacing enough; tall, shaggy, dark and brooding. Those eyes held a dark story that was just clawing to be out.
Kenton held it in, and it bubbled under the pressure.
His long legs drifted him across the forest floor and he came to stop in front of the woman, looming over her without having to draw himself up. "Watch your step."

Lillian -- White Horse -- Loki

Sliding to a halt, Lillian absorbed her momentum by transforming into a human and rolling. She came up next to Loki, gazing out. "Don't throw rocks at me. I've got good instincts," she warned, but reassured at the same time, picking up the sensation he was getting too. "What do you think it is?"
Her senses searched. All of them.

Arthes |Female|Rogue|Grizzly Bear|Open

Arthes tugged on the fish harder. "Winter! That's mine! Give it back or I'm only giving you stringy rabbit for lunch" Winter released his grip on the fish, and Arthes fell backwards with the fish on her face. She picked it up, scowling, then looked at it closer. There was a softer, bruised part of it, that seemed a little green. No wonder Winter wasn't giving it back. "Thanks buddy", she whispered, rustling her pup's fur and throwing the fish away. "But now we have nothing, unless one of our snares caught something. Let's go check, eh?", she asked the dog, who barked in agreement. "We'll share a rabbit", she continued as they walked to one of the rabbit snares she had placed, near the house but not too near. They were greeted by the sight of a rabbit in the trap, which Arthes quickly unhooked. "You get half, I'll get half", she whispered to her dog as she picked up the rabbit by it's ears. "Good eating, eh?" They walked back to the house, and Arthes speared it onto a stick she used for roasting over an open fire. Setting it up, she grabbed some of the sticks she had gathered earlier for firewood, and lit a fire pretty quickly. She turned the rabbit over, making sure to cook it all, while talking to Winter. "You suppose I'll ever get a rod for fishing, or actual wire for snares? I heard there's some people like me pretty near here, but I dunno if they'd like us, ya see. Even less if they'd have wires, eh?" She finished off the rabbit and Winter bit off her half.

Isabella was a little sad that she had been left behind but she put on a fake smile and said goodbye to Taylor and Synn before shifting back into a leopard and climbing a tree the jumping from tree to tree and hunting animals.Then she had reached the river where she saw s Grizzly Bear and a...dog?She guessed it was a fellow shifter and jumped down from the tree and followed them to check they were shifters or at least one of them was instead of a real grizzly bear but that wouldn't make sense of why it had a dog with it.She saw them go to a house sort of thing and eat a rabbit and then the grizzly spoke to the dog,so they were a shifter.She caught a few rabbits,foxes,squirrels and things and brought them to the bear and the dog at the river where she had previously seen them "You guys didn't catch much." she said "You need a fishing rod and wires?I have a few spares if you need any,I come from the village and I'm guessing you don't." she said shifting into her human form and sitting down near the river edge.

Arthes |Female|Grizzly Bear|Rogue| Isabella

Arthes looked up to see a girl sitting in a tree. She crossed her arms. "Actually, we did catch something, but it was poisoned. And I suppose you didn't notice the rabbit that Winter is eating?" Winter nosed Arthes, and she looked down at her dog. "No, we don't come from it. Used to, ran away. We'd love to have the spares, but we have nothing to pay for it except maybe half a rabbit, a few old planks or teaching you how to fish without a rod" She then shifted back into a bear and walked to the river. She quickly scooped out a fish and shifted back to human form. "See? I can catch stuff. I'd pay fin fish or rabbits for that wire or rod. My rod just doesn't cut it", she crossed her arms, still holding the fish in one hand.

~Aerona~
The male quickly came up on me and out of instinct my hand moved to my back, my digits started curling around the hilt of my dagger. I had two daggers located on the lower of my back, in a x like shape, the hilts pointed out in opposite direction. Quickly I stopped myself from actually clutching and drawing it out. My hand moved away from it and back to my side as the male now stood before. He was actually taller than me and it was a little surprising but then again I really did not care. I could feel the lust and anger being directed at me as it rolled off of him and I just has to smile ever more at this fact. It was not one of those happy go lucky smiles but a really, your kidding me type one. "Kinda hard boy when I have not taken one yet." I said to him as he spoke out saying for me to watch my step. "On the other hand, I probably should have watch my tongue." I said as I watched the female in the back ground now. I watched her out of the corner of my eye, so I could still see the male clearly. The smile faded from my lips as I looked up to the sky now, a small sigh and intake of breathe was given. "Eh just back off boy, I did nothing wrong. I just could not help it, after all it has been along time since someone even just stopped and spoke, rather then attack to kill." I said to him as I looked around before back at them. "I laugh at myself and not you guys, besides there is no twisted meaning or anything of the sorts behind the words I say." I said these words to him as the hand that had once gone for the dagger came up to my head and scratched it some.

My eyes snapped over to the girl as a low rumble of her voice echoed over to me. A small smile crossing my lips. "Iye lass, besides its now uncommon for one sane not to be." I said to her, meaning it was getting harder to find normal humans. Not Flares or Shifters but just plain old normal humans. Were they out there just, just in protected, much more then this, areas.

A small snort was given as I tossed my head back and forth slightly, untangling my antlers from some low handing branches. That was one bad thing I have found from being a deer and that was low branches, cursed things always get in my way. After a moment of being frustrated over them I gave a small sigh. 'Maybe I was a little harsh to Isabella' I thought to myself as I wondered forward heading to the next trap. Slowly I looked up some, looking at the now nice blue sky above when the white and golden brown owl appeared in my view. I looked at her for a second before looking back down to the ground so I did not run into anything. "You know you don't have to follow me if your don't want to." I said to her not wanting her feel like she had to follow me around.

I slowed to a stop before shifting back into my human form and moving around to a larger stone. As I came over to it I notice that the trap had been set off but nothing was it. With a small sigh I knelt down and started to get to work with setting up back up again. Hey not every trap got something in it, that would make life to easy.

I looked to the female as she came up next to me before speaking out. I just looked at her for a second before I turned away from her with a small shrug of I don't know. I really did not know what I sensed but what ever it was, it was not good. I looked back at her out of the corner of my eye before I shifted back into my fox form. A fox was fast, sly, and quite, so in other words perfect for sneaking up on things. Slowly I moved to the edge of the forest and out into the thick undergrowth that laid there. With slow careful steps I moved to the edge of it and look down. We were onto of a small cliff side, looking out into the valley. I laid down so I was more out of sight as I looked down at what was below.

There was some humans, or thing that appeared to be human. They acted odd and differently. Not to mention the scent they were giving off was horrible. Something about these beings was wrong and not right. My entire body told me to get Lillian out of here, along with myself. But I still laid there to curious to leave actually.
