Welcome to Gaia! ::

How Mirthal and Kyoya had become traveling companions for a time was beyond them, yet here they were.

Kyoya tossed his mane from his face and looked around for a moment and saw something green in the sand. "How had we wound up here again?" He asked as he started moving towards the thing he had seen.

Mirthal shrugged. "I was following you."

"I thought I was following you though?" He retorted.

It seemed they were both on a fools errand then.

"Did you see that?" He said as they moved closer.

"No, what was it-oh yes! I see it now.... What is that?" She said moving closer, lowering her head to the ground to scent the air as they approached. There were quite a few of them it seemed, a colony of sorts, of these prickly looking cats. "Now that's a sight if you ever did see it." She said with a chuckle.

Kyoya nodded his head in agreement. "Oh, it's coming over."

Two in fact. They were at first, preoccupied playing with a feather, then they saw the two larger beings and ran over to the large equines.

One of them stared up at Kyoya with large eyes and then did a little chirp and began to circle his legs, careful not to poke him with it's spines. "Aww, I think it likes me." He had to admit, they were fairly cute.

The other approached Mirthal and she winced as it rubbed up against her legs, she was afraid it was going to stab her, but the angle in which it moved allowed the spikes to fold along it's body. "Oh that is interesting." She said looking down at it, she wondered if they would stand erect if it was threatened. "I guess we have two more to join our journey huh?"

"I suppose we do. At least when we split ways we won't be lonely." He chuckled.

"That is very true." She said looking down at it once more. "Do you think we should name them?"

"Pokey and Spikey?" He said automatically as a joke. "I mean, we could, they do seem like they should have names, but honestly, I'm not in any rush to decide what that is. IF you want to name yours by all means, be free." He lowered his head to sniff the feline and couldn't help but wonder where these brilliant creatures had come from.

Mirthal gave another look at the cactus cat and nodded. "Minerva." She wasn't sure why she wanted to name it that, but it seemed to respond to the name and gave a little chirp as it sat next to her front legs. "What do you suppose they eat?"

"I would assume they ate whatever other feline species ate, do you think they're vegetarians?" He was curious too at that point. "I suppose we'll find out when they get hungry. Though, I do like the idea of them sleeping next to us as night, what a way to be protected from unwanted strangers."

She laughed, "Indeed."

The two of them headed off with their new found companions.

Yaguara was an absolutely lover of gems, jewelry, trinkets. You name it, she wanted it and probably owned it. This usekh was no different. She had heard of it from the shadows and immediately wanted to have one. Despite the fact someone else had tasked her to do it later, she knew that she wasn't going to be bringing it back to them. No way.

It was going to be hers.

As she entered the tomb she scented the air and then cautiously stepped forward, however, as she wasn't in her feral form she crashed through the floor and with a loud umph she crashed to a halt. Hissing at herself in annoyance she stood up and was less annoyed. If she had been in her feral form she wouldn't have found this room in which she stood. A smile spread across her delicate features and she stared at the usekh. There it was. A prized possession if she ever saw one.

Moving forward she stared at it where it was, displayed around a mantle, and it was ever bit as lovely as it had been described and now it was hers. Staring in amazement for a moment more she removed it from where it was and carefully began to look for a way out. She realized she was going to have to jump out. Switching over to her feral form she found a ledge to leap to that would give her leverage to jump out from where she had fallen. Taking aim she leapt and used the momentum of her land to push her up and out.

Without looking back she raced from the temple with her new prize.

I'm doing 2d4, anything that's a 4 is just a 3 in this scenario. Gonna rp the girls together because they each need one XD


Kalinda and Soniva were just wandering around their home, not really with much on their list to do. Maybe find something for their larger mates as a surprise when Soniva spotted it.

"Do you see that?" She asked looking at what she had thought was a cactus at first, and realized it was alive.

"Yes, I do see it." Kalinda moved closer and stopped as they grew nearer. "Do you think it will hurt us?" As she asked the cat hissed and growled at her, swishing it's tail back and forth in a menacing manner. "Oh, maybe it will....." She said as she looked at her sister curiously.

"Look there's another one!" Soniva said moving closer and it looked at her and moved towards her curiously, much nicer than the first had been. "Oh, they're quite cute!" She said looking around to see if perhaps there were others but it seemed there was only the two.

"Kalinda looked at her sister quizzically, do you have any snacks in your pack?" She hoped she had something in there, she did not want to get stabbed by a cat today! The cat did not seem to enjoy her company at all and she almost wanted to turn hoof and flee.

"Let me look." She dug around in her bag for a moment and then smiled. "Here!"

It was a snack stick. Kalinda took it thankfully and offered it to the cat. She backed up a few paces and watched, hoping it would calm down. It sniffed the treat and then began to eat it, once it was finished it looked at her for a moment and then sat down, still not impressed, but at least it wasn't hissing at her anymore. "See, I won't hurt you." She said with a smile, hoping it would eventually move closer to her.

Meanwhile Soniva and her cactus cat were already walking around together and she wondered where they had come from. "These are probably the coolest felines I've ever seen."

Kalinda had to agree, they were definitely unique and she was thrilled they had happened upon them. The cat she was staring at still didn't seem overly impressed by her though. "I will give you the best home ever, I promise! We don't live far from here and we have a nice home with food and water." She wasn't even sure it understood a thing she was saying but she could hope. The cat begrudgingly moved closer to her and sniffed at her before deciding it wasn't the end of the world if it decided to follow her somewhere, besides, it's sibling had paired itself off to the other feathered girl.

The cactus cat at Sonivas feet batted at her feathery tail and she laughed with delight. "I can't wait to show mom!"

Kalinda folded her wings against her body and thought the same. She wondered if her and this cat would have a nice bond going forward or not. "Let's head home shall we?"

"Yes! Let's go!" And they all headed off.
