Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cactus cat - The cat is somewhere between "touchy" about you to outright grouchy or even distrustful.



Devourer of the Unknown or Bitey as he was better known as had been wander around when he came across this strange looking creature. It looked like a cross between a cactus and a cat. He was very curious about it and had spent some time slowly approaching it. The cat creature seemed to be quite wary of him as any time he got close it would arch it's back, hiss, and move away. This had repeated several times until the cat seemed to realize that either it wasn't getting away or that Bitey wasn't necessarily dangerous to it. It had finally settled down in one spot and allowed Bitey to get closer to it but not too close.

Bitey attempted once to get closer to poke or pet the cat creature but it let out a warning growl that quickly morphed into a hiss when Bitey's tail moved towards it. The skull on the end of his tail apparently freaked the cactus cat out making it hiss. Moving his tail back away from the cat, he watched as the cat settled back down. The cat creature watched Bitey through narrowed eyes clearly not trusting him or his tail. Bitey slowly moved a hoof towards the cat to try and pet it and was swatted with claws and thorns. He winced and moved back giving the cactus cat some more space. Apparently touching was not allowed right now. He wondered if he'd ever be able to touch the cat. As he thought that he watched as the cat jumped up and quickly began to move away. He looked around confused as to what had caused the cat creature to move when he spotted his brother trotting towards him. Apparently exploration time was over now. He turned back to watch the cactus cat disappear behind some rocks, never to be seen again. (wc: 311)

Valkyrie helm - You are transported into the body of an injured and lost Valkyrie. Do you panic? Do you find your way home? (You do not have any breed healing powers as the Valkyrie you're in does not).



Kurone had no real idea of his heritage and ties to a Valkyrie coded herd but stumbling upon a random item and seeing it was a helm of a Valkyrie made something deep inside of himself cry out. Whether it was in pain or relief he didn't know. All he knew was that the helm before him was rather intriguing and he wondered what it was like wearing it. He placed it on his head and looked around. Huh... didn't seem to be anything special.... that is until he suddenly found himself somewhere else and in someone else's body.

Finding himself in an open plain with dust blowing everywhere, Kurone had one second before the pain hit him. Looking down at himself he saw wounds on his legs and looking back showed a large gash along his side. He winced from the pain and the look of the wound before focusing back on his surroundings. He wasn't sure where he was, as the landscape was completely different from what he was used to. So he wasn't sure how to get home. But the better question was how to get back into his body. He had nothing against mares but being in someone else's body while they were injured was just plain weird to him. Which brought about the question of what had happened to this mare and were was her conscious? Was she still here prisoner in her own mind while he hijacked her body? Was she dead and gone? Or was this just her memories stored in the helm?

Speaking of the helm, Kurone reached up to take it off and noticed that it was gone. At some point this Valkyrie had lost her helm, perhaps when she had been injured. Looking at the ground he didn't see any helms nearby but instead spotted the blood trail from the Valkyrie walking to this point. Maybe if he followed it back he could find his way home or rather this Valkyrie's way home. He began walking, wincing every once in a while from the pain. He had to stop several times to catch his breath or find the blood trail again.

As he traveled along sounds could begin to be heard in the distance. From far away it just sounded like loud noise, unable to really tell what was causing it, but as he got closer he began to make out yelling and sounds of fighting. Apparently this Valkyrie had been injured in battle and fled with her wounds getting lost in the process. Walking into a small wooded area he began to notice signs of a great battle having taken place here and nearby. Trees were damaged, a wide path made through the brush and smaller trees, and occasionally a piece of equipment or even a body would become visible. Reaching the end of the tree line he looked out into another big plain filled with Soquili fighting one another. He stood there watching for a few minutes before starting to step out almost instinctively. His foot hit something and he looked down to see the helm he had picked up and put in what felt like ages ago. He reached down to pick it up and put it back on. The next thing he knew was that he was standing right back where he had been in the museum with an angry pony marching up to him yelling about touching things he shouldn't touch. He took the helm off and when he did he swore he heard someone whisper thank you. (wc: 593)
