Animals of the Wind discussion

(Roleplay here.)

Cyan sniffed the air. He smelt antelope. A few seconds later, he saw a herd. His sister, Switha, directed her gaze at an old antelope with a limp. It would make a perfect target.

Dimitree signaled Cyan to head left and Switha to stay. Once they were in position, Dimitree crept towards the herd. The old antelope was on the edge of the herd. She signaled them to strike.

Switha felt a surge of energy as she lept foward. Instantly, the herd started galloping away. The old antelope limped after it's herd, but could not quite catch up. Out of the corner of her eye, Switha saw her sister, Dimitree, slowly gaining on their prey. Cyan was pouncing at the antelope's back legs. Switha soon caught up and helped bring the antelope down.

Serenity huffed, hidden in the tall grass, she was just about to strike until the three tigers scared off the herd. She had her eyes set on her target, until it fleed off with its herd. Grunting in frusteration, she gracefully leaped into a dart for her target, her quick moving legs building up muscle as she ran. Her keen blue eyes narrowed with focus as she began to reach for her antelope. Right at its heels, Serenity gave a menacing growl and slashed at its hind leg, until pouncing onti its back, bringing it down with a deep bite on its neck. She felt the blood stain into her pelt and gush into her jaws as she dragged it back to her tree which wasn't too far away from the tigers. Smiling with pride, the loner lioness trotted towards her tree and sat down on her flat rock, laying down in the shade to begin her meal. Before taking a bite, she finally caught sight of the three tigers that almost made her meal go away. Shrugging and adding a socff, she began to eat, flicking her tail back and forth to swat the flies away.

Cyan placed one paw on the antelope's sturdy flank once it had died. He sunk his teeth into the flesh and ripped out a chunk of meat. Beside him, Switha was muzzle deep in fresh red meat. Dimitree's tail swished as she dug into their kill. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tiny movement. He lifted his head out of his meal and beckoned to his sisters to take a look.

Dimitree looked up and saw a lioness eating some distance away. It too had caught an antelope. The lion was too far away to be much of a threat so she continued eating.

Mizore sat in the shade of a large tree and groomed herself. she looked around her quietly

Mountain saw three tiger eating an antelope, and his stomach growled/ He was no fool, so he knew he was no match for all three, so instead he approached calmly making it clear that he was no threat.

All Switha could smell was the scent of the delicious antelope meat they had just caught. Suddenly, she picked up the scent of an intruder. It was not the scent of the lioness, but of another tiger. She lifted her head and growled.

Dimitree saw Switha tense up and shot her a strange look. She then smelt another tiger, which was probably why her sister was acting strangely. Her muzzle dripping with blood and bits of meat, she lifted her head and turned to look.

Cyan growled and lashed his tail as the strange tiger came over. He flattened his ears threateningly and bared his teeth. Besides him, his sisters did the same.

He sat down calmly a few meters away from them. He was naturally bigger and stronger, but he didn't want to spill any blood, "Hello."

Cyan narrowed his eyes. Did this tiger not get the message the first time. "Leave. You aren't getting any food." he snarled. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Switha stand protectively over their kill. Dimitree stood next to Cyan and glared at the tiger.

He bowed his head respectfully, "very well," he silently walked away.

Dimitree smirked and then continued eating the antelope. She kept her eyes on the other tiger to make sure that he didn't come back.

Mountain went off and caught a couple rabbits.
(wanna like timeskip to a bit later?)

((Sure))

(kk you start teh timeskip)

Cyan led his sisters to a nice shady spot under an overgrown tree. He paced around a bit while his sisters sat down in the shade. After he made sure that nothing was going to harm them, he sat down and gazed at the horizon.

Mountain was napping in the tree above them.

The adrenaline coursed through Sky's veins as he and his sister, Swali, maneuvered themselves after a sickly boar. Sky was the first to strike since he was the closest and more agile. He raked a fore-paw, with the claws unsheathed, over the porcine's rump causing a bloody gash. With a squeal the boar wobbled in the opposite direction, freeing Sky of his duty.

The boar had run straight in the direction of Swali's hiding place among the bushes. It was this kind of prey that kept the chase minimal and the fun high. A smirk slowly found itself on Swali's lips as she stalked forward and swiped at the pig at its flanks. A blood dripping paw reunited with the ground at the boar's side with Swali standing over it smiling and lashing her tail in happiness.

((How is that even possible? Cyan checked the area and made sure that it was safe... And no, don't say that he didn't check carefully enough.))

mizore watched the lions that were under a tree quietly. she didnt bother saying anything since they were not nearby.

Serenity chuckled, watching the three tigers beckon Mountain away. "Ah, entertainment during a meal, what a treat" she purred with a chuckle, while finishign her meal then standing back up to stretch.

Sky stretched his back legs when the pair moved on some time later after the boar excitement. His amber eyes reflected his sister looking up into the sky as if she was searching for something out of her reach. Sky smiled warmly and sat softly at Swali's side and ran his tail down her back. "What are you thinking about?" He asked as he normally did.

"Do you think our mother and father are up there, looking down at what we have become?" Swali answered warily and she looked at her brother, the only family she had left. "I mean.. times have gotten worse and it's certainly getting harder to find reasonable prey because we aren't as strong as the lions, tigers, and leopards." Her voice shook though she didn't try looking worried for her brother's sake.

Sky didn't know how to answer her. He always thought about that as well, but he would never let his sister know that.

Cyan beckoned to his sisters to get up. "We should keep moving." He had the strange feeling that someone or something was watching them. Switha shook her fur out and then prodded Dimitree, who was sleeping. Dimitree moaned and then blinked her eyes open.

"Are we leaving already?" Dimitree asked, stretching her jaws in a huge yawn. Her belly was full from eating antelope, and her eyes were tired with sleep.

"Something's not right..." Cyan nudged Dimitree and started out towards the distant mountains in the horizon. "I feel like we're being followed."

"Yeah. Three tigers roaming around the plains together." Dimitree snorted. "We should be fun to follow around." Most tigers she knew lived alone and not in groups. But she and her siblings depended on each other to survive.

"Just be quiet and follow Cyan." Switha said, her voice full of impatience. She too felt a strange presence on her back.

mizore continues to stare at them.

Switha stiffened as she heard a crack. "What was that?" she questioned her siblings. Besides her, Dimitree stopped moving and sniffed the air. Cyan tensed up and his ears stood alert. She soon heard another crack and then smelt it.

"Hunters!" Dimitree hissed. "What do we do?" she looked around for any type of cover but all she could see was grass and more grass.

"Run." Cyan urged his sisters. He broke into a run in the opposite direction of the hunters.

(He checked the area, if he wasn't moving and he's in the top of a tree while they're one the ground he's camouflaged. Oh whatever he'll just walk upto them laterish or now.)

Mountain saw the three tigers running toward him, "What's wrong?"

mizore stood up as well when she saw the tigers running. she padded swiftly over near mountain to see why they were running.

((Okay then.

Btw- They aren't even close to the mountain yet O.o))

Dimitree mrrowed loudly as she almost crashed into another tiger. "Watch it!" she narrowed her eyes.

Switha glanced at the other tigers. "There are hunters coming!" she warned them.

Cyan nodded at the other tigers. "You guys better run. The hunters will he here soon."

Switha glanced at the oth..."

(So, what mountain? they live in the jungle... Plus even if they didn't he wouldn't live on a mountain. that would be awkward/weird. oh wait were you talking to Sakura?)

"Hunters?" he asked not exactly concerned. Hunters never bothered him because he was much larger than them.

(( Yeah, I was talking to Sakura.))

"Fine." Cyan shot the tiger a strange look. "If you get shot it's not my fault.

Jennifer wrote: "(( Yeah, I was talking to Sakura.))

"Fine." Cyan shot the tiger a strange look. "If you get shot it's not my fault."

"THey usually run before they think of shooting. And when they do then they've already dropped their guns." he said.

mizore looked down at her white and black striped pelt as she stood back up "maybe i should hide. my pelt isnt excactly the best camoflauge"

It seemed as though Serenity was the last to notice as she saw a loner hunter slouch down in the grass. With the sound of a click, a roar escaped from Serenity's lips. Rising to her paws, she gave the hunter a snarl, unshetahing her claws and she crouched low, her blue eyes narrowed. Feeling the trembling sensation come from hunter from beneath her paws, she huffed. This Hunter was a wimp. Must be an ametuer I suppose... she thought bitterly. Giving the frozen hunter a glare, she stalked off, unharmed, yet chuckled a bit as she soon realized that she had scarred that hunter with true fear forever.

"Probably," Ginger said, stalking up

"hmm....but where to hide is the problem" she said quietly

"I have an idea." Ginger

Cyan snorted. "Sure. Whatever." He beckoned to his sisters to follow him. The three tigers were soon sprinting across the plains. He feared that these hunters were the same ones that had killed his mother and father. The tall yellow grass whipped his legs as he flashed back to his childhood memories.
It was winter. The air was cold with chilliness. His mother was pressing Switha and Dimitree closer to Cyan. His father was sitting up near the entrance of the small cave keeping watch. Cyan stretched his jaws in a huge yawn. All of a sudden, his father sudden loomed over him, urging him to hide deeper in the cave. Switha and Dimitree were droopy with sleep as their mother pushed them deeper into the cave. Cyan didn't understand what was going on. He watched as his parents ran out of the cave. There was a growl and then a loud sound that sounded like thunder. Then it was quiet. Switha and Dimitree were whimpering and asking Cyan what was going on, but he was focused on listening for the sound of his parents padding back towards them and assuring them that all was okay.

((Uhm, they're already running, so they're pretty far away from Mountain...))

(Nevermind, then Mountain is sprinting w/ them. )

Serenity heard another click of a gun. Turning back, she saw a crowd of hunters, their deadly sticks pointing at them. Oh dear... Now she began to sprint, following the scent of other cats, maybe she would be able to follow in their crowd so she would not be seen. As she beagn to go deeper in the jungle, she stopped for a minute and panted heavily, the scent of cats not too far away. Glancing back, she seemed to have lost the hunters. Sighing with relief, she walked off, still towards the scent, grumbling under her breath.

Mountain realized that the hunters were actually more clever than they seemed. They had split into two groups on each side of the group of cats. He left the others to try to deal with the right group.

Dimitree saw a jungle in the distance. She beckoned to Cyan and Switha to head towards the jungle. The hunters were gaining on them. They were riding in weird green contraptions of some sort. She had to admit that these hunters were very smart. As they entered the jungle, Dimitree looked back and saw some of the hunters crashing into the trees. All of a sudden, Dimitree saw a lion out of the corner of her eye. She tried to stop running, but the leaves on the floor made her side right into the lion.

Serenity grunted as she got shoved into the tiger. Eyes widening at the group of cats, she glanced back and yelped at the scent of the hunters, which seemed to be multiplying. "Run!" she yelped, nudging the tiger forward before running at her side. "How are they all multiplying!?" she huffed, glancing back, yet quickly glanced back forwrad when she heard a click of another gun.

Dimitree mumbled "Sorry!" as the lion nudged her foward. She glanced behind her to see her brother and sister quickly following pursuit. "I don't know. These hunters are smart."

Cyan caught up to Dimitree and the lion and Switha was soon running alongside him. "The hunters have abandoned the things that they ride on." he swerved to avoid running into a tree. "We have to find some place to hide or we can keep running.

Switha grimaced as another gunshot echoed through the jungle. "We can't stay in this jungle. They'll have us trapped. Is it possible to climb up a tree and hide there?" she asked.

Dimitree huffed in laughter. "Climb a tree? Are you serious? We'll be shot once we're halfway up it."

"There's a huge lake close to my den. Can everyone here swim?" Serenity asked surely, speeding up her pace as she heard the running of the hunters catch up.

The left group attaked while the right group tried to fend him off. One shot at him but it only nicked him. Mountain yowled in pain and flung himself at the hunter.

Hearing the yowl, Serenity's eyes widened. "What was that!?" she grunted, glancing back nervously.

Ginger, "It's that idiot that went off to fight them."

Mountains giant paw knocked down the hunter and the others scattered. Mountain limped back to the other cats.

Serenity halted and glanced back. It seemd they have lost the hunters for a bit. "Some mousebrain went to go fight off the hunters!?" she grunted with irritation. "That's idiotic! He is going to get himself killed!" she huffed and glanced around, trying to see if the cat was nearby or not.

Ginger, "there he is now..."

Mountain collapsed beside the water and started to lick his wounds.
