Ornaax actually offered to finish painting her coat for her, managing to create fine details in the waves of color that lined her body. Bright pinks and blues shined in the dark, and stars were scattered around her coat as well. Antlia was satisfied with the way she looked and ended up painting a few silly shapes on the leader of the Depthstriders. He seemed to enjoy it as well and gave her a deep smile as they both finished their masterpieces. ...

Though it seemed only a short distance to her, the two had been traveling for at least half an hour to the heart of the clan. Once they surfaced Antlia couldn't help but gaze in amazement. There were a multitude of activities going on, from those playing games to others who were braiding hair and telling stories as bright lights filled the streets. It was almost as bright as the islands she grew up on and she felt like she had been teleported back home....

Water flowing through her toes, the runner peered down into the crystal depths. It was so clear, she almost thought she was looking through glass. She had decided that this place was the most colorful out of any of the territories she had been in previously, but she also wasn't sure if it was safe. There was no way she was going to be able to swim with them for long, especially with no way to breathe underwater. She w...

A: Antlia had made it to the next part of her journey, wondering if Noka had left already or if she was still learning from the Druids. The runner wondered if she would see her again in this clan. Her thoughts wandered for a bit as she walked, noticing the pathways were scarce here, and nothing but caverns in front of her. She had almost forgotten about the Watchers’ contest and was nervous she wouldn't be able to figure out how to get through in time....

Though she thought her theory wrong, the tree proved that it had been the one writing the runes. A few new ones appeared as the others disappeared, but these seemed to make a little more sense to her. As she watched the runes shift and change, it made sense to her. ᛊᛟᚱᚱᛁ it read, and she smiled at the old tree. Placing a paw on the bark once more, she pushed her thoughts out once more. This time there was no pain or fighting, the Oracle let her in with...

Antlia hadn’t realized until it was too late that the runner and Noka had been separated. It was too late to turn back as she and the group of Haedians with her had been making their way further into the forest that surrounded the clan’s territory, and there was no way she could convince them otherwise. She just hoped that they’d meet each other again in the next clan and could bring their findings together once more. ...

B: The druids were a welcome continuation to the journey, and the forests they lived in almost made Noka feel homesick. She and Antlia followed Auris as he showed the two around the sanctuary of wildlife, explaining about their ways of growing and tending to every living being. Animals explored freely here, seeming much more accustomed to the Haedians than elsewhere. They scarcely ran away when the two Vayrons went by. They eyed the two from a distance, but went...

B: After having spent such a wonderful time with the Tranquil clan, worries began to stir in Noka’s gut and she could tell Antlia wasn’t exactly carefree herself. From what they’d experienced so far; the Forgotten clan and their struggles, the Brutes with their roughhousing and shows of strength, to the so starkly different Tranquils with their peace and practice of wellness. Noka watched the Haedian’s of the clan go by, doing their own routines and jobs...

B: “You feel it, very good,” The Haedian Noka was helping, smiled as the puller took steady breaths, before exhaling slowly. “Let the healing energy flow through you, feel the life around you.” “Oh, this is wonderful, just wonderful,” Noka smiled as she attuned with the many crystals and the magic that hummed through everything around her. The earth beneath her paws, th...

B: The territory of the Tranquil was peaceful and beautiful in a dark and filled with colorful light kind of way. Noka wasn’t the biggest fan of dark places, but the illuminating light of the plants and fauna in the area was comforting that fear. The amount of fauna flying and running about, the plants that practically overflowed on the walls and floors, and the beautiful glowing pools of clear water that ran in narrow falls from the walls and ceiling were bre...

B: The battle had come to a halt and in an instant the fighting quelled and only one Haedian remained in the center of the arena; the gray and amber leader of the Brutes. She looked between Antlia, who was catching her breath beside Noka, and Noka herself who gazed back warily. Something about the way Zarod wandered closer had Noka on her toes- it was a trap, she was sure of it. The way all those Haedians on the sidelines eyed between them, the light snickers, t...

A: Letting out a huff, the runner tried to catch her breath as they stood above the next clan they were visiting. They were informed that this clan was akinned to warriors, and as she watched them from her post, she could see that the word used was very light compared to how they seemed.  There were haedians with weapons, and Antlia could see further ahead a furnace and a few tools used to shape said weapons. She did...

A: The runner nodded, there wasn't much else she could do to help anyway. She wasn't great at growing food and usually kept to her studies so that didn't help much when it came to gathering supplies. Wait, supplies! She could help with some parchment and such if they would take it. “I have a bunch of parchment in my bag, and I can help with maps if you guys need anything like that? Antlia reached into her bag, pulli...

B: Noka bowed her head apologetically, her hulking size practically shrinking out of both shame and embarrassment. She felt guilty for the actions of her and her companions, though she hadn’t forgotten the cause it was for. Looking up from the cave floor to meet the Haedian’s eyes, the puller tried to perk up a bit and muster a smile. “I am terribly sorry fo...

B: The vast cave systems beneath Vitalus spanned deeper than Noka could see, even despite her keen eyes, as her and her small party of Reos ventured across steep ledges and narrow bridges of natural stone. At least she could only assume it was mostly natural, though something had been coming and going enough to forge these pathways they were walking on. Stepping on a loose stone, the large puller stumbled and pressed her side against the cave wa...
