Wanderer (Fantasy RP-closed to new members for now)
Started By
Blade trudged though the deep snow. His toes had almost gone numb in the cold, and the night air was closing around him. He stopped briefly to survey his surroundings in the hopes of getting his bearings, but the blizzard like conditions were still too bad to see far though the falling snow, and the wind whipped around him too unpredictably to follow any kind of sent trail. He sighed and continued on. He was sure he had seen mountains in this direction, and maybe there he would find shelter. A cave, or perhaps simply some trees, anything but the open terrain he was currently in. He shivered, shifting part of the blanket of snow that had turned his yellow coat white. What was he doing in a place like this? He belonged to a place far away from here, a much warmer place, a place that seemed like a world away now. He had no right to be in a place like this, with so much snow, and certainly without his winter coat. He simply wasn’t designed for these conditions! He let the anger simmer gently in the back of his mind, his only source of warmth in this place. It didn’t matter now anyway, the events leading up to this, his quest, his friends… nothing. The only thing that mattered was finding somewhere warm enough that he didn’t die in this frozen hell. A dark shape loomed out of the white out and Blade’s spirits lifted slightly, was this the face of the side of the mountain? If so shelter might not be far off…

Killer had to take a few moments to think through the feline's sentences. He hadn't heard someone speak like that before.<br /><br /> Auryn noted Killer's shivers from the icy wind.<br /><br /> He watched curiously as the cat reared up, raising his front end, shortly after he slammed in ground. At first it seemed like nothing happened but the Earth and rock jutted up out of the ground and partially covered the entrance.<br /><br /> Wow, they are powers as well? He thought to himself.<br /><br /><br />“That should stop the drafts. Now sleep and I’ll keep watch, I can tell you’re exhausted.†<br /><br />"Thank you Auryn." Killer said gratefully.<br /><br />"Show off", he chuckled slightly before laying his head down. Now for some much much needed sleep.<br />

Auryn nodded.<br />“Ai, as long as the bonnie lad stays, I’ll be.†He replied, indicating the now disgruntled lump at the back of the cave, already curled ready to sleep, and grinned. The cold air blew into the cave and Blade nuzzled his head deeper into his thick tail, as Killer asked his question.<br /><br />“Nay storm that blows that strong, blows for long.†The cat answered, looking out at the weather. “It ought-a be out by days light… nay doubt.â€<br /><br />He glanced back and noticed Killer shivering.<br /><br />“Oi! But where are my manners! I forget that some don’t have the benefit of my coat, you must be freezing!â€<br /><br />He got up and walked to the cave entrance, tracing the line of the rock carefully, walking one paw in front of the other, looking downwards, almost as if somehow looking though the rock. Then he sat back and considered it momentarily, before leaping to his feet, rearing upwards onto his hind paws and slamming his forepaws into the ground. The force of this pound shouldn’t have made a sound, but instead a shockwave shot forward and spread across the line he had just walked. The cave rumbled deeply in resistance before the ground in front of the cat suddenly shot upwards, halfway covering the entrance. Auryn grunted, seeming happy with his work and leaped up into the gap and stretched out, dimly being lit with the final light. He faced outwards into the storm. <br /><br />“That should stop the drafts. Now sleep and I’ll keep watch, I can tell you’re exhausted.†<br /><br />“Show off.†Blade retorted without moving his head from his tail.<br />

He listened to their conversation curiously. <br /><br />"It's nice to meet you as well." he smiled back. <br /><br />"Will you be staying with us?" he asked the new stranger named Auryn.<br /><br />A blast of frigged air entered through the mouth of the cave. It penetrated Killer's thick fur and caused him to shiver. <br /><br />"Think we can get out of here soon?"

The cat regarded the large Worgen in front of him. There was no malice in his eyes, nor was there fear or concern about this stranger, only perhaps the mildest curiosity. Though mostly he emanated a sense of indifference, an impression that no mater how the situation might change he had nothing to worry about. <br /><br />“Ack, there’s nothing to wurry about.†That cat replied calmly, as if the large creature needed to be reassured of him. “I only came to make sure Bladey here hadn’t gotten himself into any wee trouble.†He looked around the cave. “But he seems to been doing fine by himself.â€<br /><br />Blade pushed himself up onto his front paws and snarled at the cat.<br />“No thank to you! you abandoned me!†he growled<br /><br />The cat seemed unaffected by the canine’s temper “Oi? And here I thought you were a big boy.â€<br /><br />Blade snarled again<br /><br />“Besides.†The cat went on ignoring him, “I wanted to double back and check on your wee lass and the lemur.â€<br /><br />Blade calmed down instantly and sat down. He hadn’t thought about them. “how are they?†He asked<br /><br />“They’re fine. The lass found some shack to shelter in one of the lower valleys. Startled some dog from it apparently, but they’ll be nay problem down there, the storm’s not half as bad as here. Ai, the trouble was finding your trail again in this weather.â€<br /><br />He watched Blade’s expression for a moment, he knew Blade was conflicted with the idea of being up here while leaving them alone. Though the cat was confident it was the right thing to do.<br /><br />“Soo…†He asked after no more questions seemed to be forthcoming “Who’s your friend?â€<br /><br />Blade looked up again. “Oh, this is Killer. Killer Auryn, Auryn Killer.â€<br /><br />“Please to met you†<a href= “http://elementalspirits.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d323wb4â€>Auryn</a> said.<br /><br />(The other two won’t be involved in this RP much, I just want them in the background so I can switch them out as and when I need them. XD)<br />

His eyelids felt like stone when he finally got to close them, but it did not last long. <br /> Killer's head shot up, his thick fur bounced back into place. Something was moving outside the entrance.<br /> <br /> Claws clicked against the rock floor as he pushed himself to his feet.<br />His eyes followed the small figure as it entered the cave.<br /> <br /> The bushy cat spoke not bothered by his presence, <br />“Making friends are we now Blade?â€<br /><br />So he new the cat? Killer lowered his guard slightly and tried to appear friendly.<br /><br />"What are you doing here?"

Blade nodded to himself, it was a story he had head from many. Loosing your family, becoming homeless, being alone… it was all far too common these days. There was little light from outside now and Blade yawned, his large white teeth glinting in the remaining light. The storm didn’t seem like it was going to lift anytime soon and Blade’s eyelids were beginning to droop when the faintest sounds of movement forced him awake again. He raised his head and watched the entrance again, this time more alertly. It was hard to see anything out there, but after a short while Blade thought he saw a shape moving towards them. It was small and seemed unhurried as it stopped to check the ground a few times, as if following a trail. As it got closer Blade recognised who it must be and the short feline padded into the cave without concern. He shook the snow from his dense coat and eyed Killer suspiciously before spotting Blade and sat down to clean a paw.<br /><br />“Making friends are we now Blade?†The cat asked in his ever confident voice.<br /><br />He was about half the size of Blade, and his body covered with large spots, the thick fur looked soft to the touch and was particularly long and mildly curly on his underside and paws. In many ways he would look like a short legged snow leopard if his coat wasn’t such a orangey red colour, but despite being obviously much smaller then either of the others, he showed no signs of being intimidated.<br />

<br />“You look like you’re about as well as equipped to be up here as me.†Blade spoke again after a few moments of silence. “What brings you up here?â€<br /><br />Killer laughed slightly, "Yeah scales are definitley the best thing for blizzards" he paused for a moment trying to think, it had been awhile since he had spoken to another animal he felt slightly awkward. <br /><br />"It's a long story if you care to hear; to sum it up I used to live in a big group of my breed...Guardian Dragon....But we were attacked, I was the only one who escaped. I am just going were my wings take me now. I know no one other than you." <br /><br />His voice was slightly softer, more canine like now that he was Worgen.<br /><br />He looked for the Gryphon once more, but saw no sign. It made him suspicious and he decided to be on guard.<br /><br />

Blade managed a weary smile. “I’ve heard worse at least. Humans in particular name animals the strangest things… but what I don’t get is that the animals will keep and use them!†<br />He turned his head back towards the entrance briefly, he noticed now that the other creature hadn’t entered and he wondered why. Perhaps, although willing to help them, she did not want to share the cave? perhaps there was a more sinister motive.. a trap? either way Blade was too exhausted to find out, he reasoned that if it was a trap, he might as well rest first. He laid is head on his front paws, although his eyes did not leave the entrance. In the warmth of the cave the cold was beginning to leave his body, leaving only an aching pain.<br /><br />“You look like you’re about as well as equipped to be up here as me.†Blade said, as if suddenly remembering his companion. “What brings you up here?†There was curiosity in his voice, but mostly it was for making conversation.<br />

The difference was great, no blizzard blowing on bare scales. Killer started to think he should of done this earlier. His new fur was warm, and comforting in the cold air. Scents filled his canine nose, something he had never experienced before.<br /><br /> After noticing the perks of his newer form he decided to lay down. Sleep has been rare in the last few months. He looked over towards the dog-like creature, he looked just as tired.<br /><br /><br />“Thank you, this cave is more then suitable to rest in.†He said gratefully. “I’m Blade by the way.â€<br /><br />"Yes, thank you" I said, I looked for the Gryphon but I could not spot her.<br /><br />"Hello Blade, my name is Killer" I paused for a second "Yes, my parents were comedians; or so they thought."

Blade watched the transformation with indifference. If he had been warmer, more alert, the dramatic change in the creature would have unnerved him, even with the warning that he was given, but the cold had numbed all his senses. He followed killer in without a word and sniffed the floor to get accustomed to the new smells. There seemed to be nothing unusual to the cave’s scents, damp, stone, dust… nothing of particular interest, and feeling content in that it was fairly safe, walked to the back of the cave where it was warmer. There he flopped down on one of the more prominent stones and stretched his frozen forepaws out and off the edge. Only then did he look more closely at his new companions, his eyes adjusting quickly to the dim light. Exaustion was quickly taking over him, and suddenly he was feeling sleepy, but he didn’t intend to make a bad impression by falling asleep just yet.<br /><br />“Thank you, this cave is more then suitable to rest in.†He said gratefully. “I’m Blade by the way.â€

He approached the entrance, as he got closer he felt less confident. He couldn't fit, not like this.<br /><br /> "I am not doing to fit in my dragon form...Hold on." The end of his sentence contained a canine growl. His body got extremely hot, and his neck and tail shortened. Fur sprouted from his skin, which was once scaled but became the skin of a mammal. He grew ears and a wolf's nose. <br /> He breathed heavily; it was over his transformation was complete. He stepped forward into the cave, and fit easily. Leaving room for the others.<br />

(I was waiting for the other’s to post, but I guess they’re not around, so I’ll go. Plus Christmas.)<br /><br />Blade closed his eyes against the gust that the huge pair of wings created as the dragon landed and looked up at the formidable beast, the stark form now much clearer against the snow. Even though he had expected its size, seeing the dragon before him like this was still a shock, and he momentarily froze as smaller creature continued talking. Then the dragon passed, and without a word, Blade shook the snow that the dragon’s wings had blown upon him and followed. The path turned out to be easy enough, although some of the icy patches made his numb paws slip, and he slid a few times while trying to avoid the massive tail swinging precariously in front of him. For the most part he kept enough distance between himself and the dragon, but a few times a quick step to the side was required to avoid the swinging tail as the dragon stopped or negotiated the rocks. As the feline bird had said, it proved not to be long before they reached the cave entrance and Blade carefully manoeuvred around the dragon to see what they were dealing with. It looked easily big enough for himself and the small creature, but he was less confident about the dragon.<br /><br />He shivered again in the cold.<br /><br />“You might just have to try and see if you fit.†He suggested to the gigantic creature, now that they had shelter, he wanted to enter it as soon as possible.<br />

Killer followed the figure, trying to keep his eyes on the path ahead. Soon he was able to make out a long thick tail that blended in with its surroundings...A snow leopard? He thought, but as he got closer he could make out the head of a.....Crow? He had seen Gryphons before but they were all the stereotypical eagle and lion mix. This was something very new to him, the figure also lacked wings. But made up for that lacking in agility.<br /><br /> Surprisingly Killer's big frame helped him make long stretches from rock to rock.<br /><br />"It's not too steep a trek, but there's icy patches. The caves are 'bout..." there was a pause, as though the Gryphon was thinking it through,"15 yards up an' east?" The voice questioned its statement. <br /><br /> Shortly after the Gryphon let out a crow-call; which made Killer want to roar. He finds it oddly fun. <br /><br /><br />"Better hurry. This storm isn't letting up any time soon."<br /><br />He approached the entrance of the cave, barley able to make it out.<br />"Do you think I can fit?"

((OoC: Sorry for the delay guys. Sick on Christmas, woohoo!))<br /><br />As the large shape descended, the beating of massive wings caused the snow to whirl around them wildly. Rhea's eyes widened a bit at the loud, dull "thud" as the dragon landed heavily, her ears slicking down in mild surprise; she had expected dragons to be large, but even so...<br /><br />"This way," she responded quickly, her long, thick tail swaying slightly as she turns to the path again, gesturing with a large forepaw vaguely. "It's not too steep a trek, but there's icy patches. The caves are 'bout..." pausing, she squinted her eyes as if trying very, very hard to calculate something in her head, then shrugged slightly. "15 yards up an' east?"<br /><br />Her estimate was a little off, as the caves were much closer than she remembered, but that wasn't terribly important to her at the moment. Hopping up to a level point in the path, the large gryphon coughs out a raspy crow-call.<br /><br />"Better hurry. This storm isn't letting up any time soon."

Killer could barley make out the yellow form move closer to the direction of the voice. He still say nothing.<br /> "Another form?" the voice sounded full of curiosity. It reminded him of the young dragons; they always wanted to know what was going on.<br /> "Well, I can turn into a winged Worgen; I don't know how. I have had the ability ever since I was born." he was trying to sound friendly. His natural voice was very deep and sometimes sounded like a growl.<br /><br />"This way. The path's a bit icy, but not too steep. And it should..." there was a hesitation"...lead us to the caverns. You need only travel a little farther toward the east, along the lee of the cliff. The caverns are close, if you are where I think you are."<br /> <br />Killer looked in the direction the voice noted, but he could not see a thing.<br />"I can't find anything in this snow. My eyes are not used to it....I will join you..Hold still."<br /> He saw a area just big enough for him to land. It was about 15 feet from the two strangers. <br /> His powerful wing muscles tightened as he lifted them up. He pushed down powerfully, the sound of beating wings filled the snowy air. <br /> He angled his lean frame into position and tucked in his wings. He fell to the ground with a thud, and shook his long neck.<br /> "Where to?"
