We last left off with our intrepid explorers in a bit of an uncomfortable spot. Sopping wet and standing fetlock deep in a gently flowing creek, Jun is not too happy at his friend laughing at him. Nor the unknown dangers that could be lurking under the shadows of the rocks or beneath the silt of the creekbed. Baltë, to her credit, is a daring and adventurous bep who doesn’t exactly weigh the dangers of her actions or the overall situation. As a racer she is u...

**”Are you sure about this Baltë? I know explorin’ sounds excitin’ but. Should plants look so… hungry?”**    The raicing sono glances over her shoulder and is greeted with the sight of her best friend standing with one hoof raised and his entire front half leaning precariously away from an overly large frond leaf. **”Jun it’s not gonna eatcha, or bitcha either. It’s a leaf and it’s green, n...

Naoshu is standing still for dramatic effect and questioning his life choices once more. It would seem he attracts small, fluffy and cute things. The soot balls are back home with Tianxing and so the walk to the beach has been quiet and pleasant. Perhaps a bit lonely as well but that feeling has evaporated now that he’s front and center for these Melody’s. Entertain my children he’s been asked. Well the Naoshu from a few years ago would’ve trotted right ...

Prose scampers through the grass. The sensation of the long leaves brushing against his fur is gentle and he giggles and bucks up his hind legs. Once he got his legs underneath him it was impossible to get the fawn to stop. The world is vast and the sun is so warm and there’s trees and… and flowers! Birds and animals and shroomkin! Not to mention the other aiti. There’s much for a fawn to see and learn and Prose seems absolutely determined to see as much o...

This beach is beautiful. The sun casts an almost golden glow across the sand no matter the time of day. Somehow, even with the wind and tides, there seems to not be nary a grain of sand out of place or a flopping piece of dead sea weed to be found. It’s… strange. Just enough so to tickle the part of Cypress’s mind that’s attuned to magic. This is a special place, full of power and overflowing with a magic that does not come from an aiti.  ...

These rocks are getting a bit close for comfort. Naoshu huffs and dodges yet another set of somehow very well aimed rocks. For being crazed and not listening to reason or anything he or those floating soot balls are saying, this Furcifer is surprisingly well in control of his aim. Whether fireballs or rocks kicked from the canyon walls, they never seem to land too far from where Naoshu had previously been standing. He’s going to come out of this with all new m...

Naoshu wanders in and out of the canyon now and again. The tall walls are imposing but the dips and curves combined with the stratified layers of rock are a sight to behold. Also it’s a bit easier to find water thanks to the river and springs in the area. Today he’s not on a sightseeing trip but it’s turning into one. His steps are unhurried and the sound of the sand shifting beneath his hooves and the wind through the canyon are loud in his ears. Really N...

"Shhhh." Hangxie scolds as if it will somehow quiet their footsteps.    Yuxin is forced to smother his chuckles when his mate keeps casting worried glances over his shoulder. The confused and slightly irritated squint he receives as his sides shiver is adorable. "She sleeps heavily. It'll be okay 'xie. We'll be back with a breakfast surprise before she wakes up. And even if we'...

The sky just seems to stretch on forever in the desert. With the last sputtering breaths of the sunset burning pale yellow on one side and the dark purple looming on the other there has to be an end in those extremes. Yet in the same way the pale twinkling of stars lift that expanse even higher the dying gasps of light are being shut away by a lid. Is Feian's world so much larger out in the wild on his own or some self contained bubble. In the village he'd felt ...

Dress up. Be spooky. This is the season Addy! The humans are doing it, aren't you curious? Teneis isn't wrong. He is curious. Even if he doesn't care a whole lot about humans, their traditions are fascinating. Like a dung beetle is gross but you can’t help but wonder why it’s pushing that brown round ball around. There's seasonal foods and their scent can carry even to the w...

“Huh. I don’t seem to remember these being part of the natural landscape.” Naoshu, scuffs the sand with a hoof and gives this strange crystal thing the stink eye. Ansai probably knows what this thing is made of but he’s not here right now. Matter of fact Tianxing and Shanyue are further down the beach building little sand hills and chasing seagulls. They’re a touch too close to chickens for Naoshu’s taste and two of them dove toward ...

Ansai hasn’t ever been this far to the coast. It’s rockier than he’d expected but the views… oh the views are worth it! The heavy salty hair catches in his throat as he sees the ocean stretch on and on. It doesn’t end. He’s heard of other land masses, the humans talk of it and the wild bepotelkh and shroomkin speak of it as a mysterious and wild place. But here? Maitias could be alone in the world for all Ansai knows. It’s magnificent, and terrifyi...

It wasn’t often Naoshu found himself along the coast. The gritty, salty air and chafing coastal wind isn’t really all that different from the grit of the wind whipped sand dunes he supposes. It's just… damper and the sun feels somehow more intense than it does amidst the dunes. The dull crashing of the waves is nice at least. There's so much water here and Naoshu can feel it. His magic resonates with it, thrumming and tempting him to find a chunk of wood a...

Narancia blinks. The white and blue chicken blinks. Presumably Prim also blinks from on top of her head. Everyone is silent. There’s just the sound of the breeze, hooves on dirt outside and Lavenlach softly clearing her throat. Narancia jerks, making Prim squawk indignantly and this random new daughter flares her white and blue wings. The bell on her poppy collar dings loudly in the sudden silence.   “Is everything alright ‘Ci...

It all begins with a rustle in the bushes and ends with accidental daughter acquisition.    Yuxin stares at the bush and the bush stares back. A pair of eyes nearly as pale as his own blink and then they and the gray snout they were attached to vanish back into the foliage.   "W-wait!" He stutters, shoving his muzzle into the bush. Why is t...

Narancia takes a deep breath. It’s supposed to help her nerves but all it does is let her feel the thudding of her heart against her ribs even more. She’s nearly shaking. Her daughter… their daughter is about to make her debut. “Alright Prim, are you ready? It’s…” She gulps, mouth suddenly quite dry, ...
