"You call this a VACATION?!" Eriea stormed through the sand, kicking it up into the other's faces. "This SUCKS! I'm LEAVING." She sat on her haunches and scowled at no one in particular.
Isis growled, "Get back up you sissy and fight me again. No one likes a sore loser."
"Make me," Eriea mumbled through clenched teeth.

"Eriea, Isis, break it up!" Tamryen rolled his eyes, "There's going to be a war and you need to be ready."

"But I don't want to fight!" Eirea wailed, throwing her paws up to the sky, "Why can Ciery or Sonea fight for me? They wanted to!"
"Because, number one, Ciery has impared sight. And number two, Sonea is grounded. She might come later, but not now." He sat down next to her, "Look, all you need to do is practice your balance. Why don't you go have Rebel help you?"

As Eriea went to go join Rebel in the shade of a tree, Lasaril and Rogan tumbled through the air screeching and clawing. "Ouch you rotten-" "That HURT-" "Gerrof me-" "Keep you're claws shet-" "HEY!" "What gives??"

They fell to the ground in a mound of claws, tails, and scorching flames. after scowling at each other for about a millisecond, the both cracked up laughing. "That was HILARIOUS!" Lasaril crowed, "I almost knocked you out of the sky!" Rogan grinned, "Exactly, you almost did."

Tamryen smiled and shook his head, then wandered off to see how Isis was doing. She was splayed out in the sand, her eyes closed. "Wake up, It's not nap time kitten," Tamryen nudged her with his forpaw.
"Goaway," she hissed sleepily.
"At least go into the shade, you'll get sun burned out in the sun with you're pale fur."
Isis got up and threw Tamryen a particularly nasty sneer, she was sesitive about her pelt color.
Realizing to late he'd offended the young Ankies, Tamryen sighed and went to consult Polaris.

Polaris was also sitting in the shade, observing Rebel and Eriea, occasionally giving pointers. "Oh hey Tam, is every thing fine?"
"Can I have a drink?"
"Course you can, you black fuzz ball. Aren't you getting hot out there?"
"No, I'm not the one actually fighting."
She handed a water bottle to him, which Tamryen expertly opened and drank from. Stroking his warm black fur, Polaris went back to instructing Rebel and Eriea.

OOC: Hope you don't mind an imperialist joining.

Once again the leebra had found himself back in Wilt'No. Warrior was working on his sneak attacks and endurance for the second time, but he didn't mind. Tunneling deep under the hot sand, he caught a muffled version of voices and cat-like growling. Kuhna, no doubt. Warrior thought to himself as he positioned himself in the middle of the group.

The battlefield stayed completely still under the sand a moment, listening intentily to make sure he was in the middle. Turning upwards, he struck. With a cloud of sand, a flurry of claws and teeth, Warrior leapt from the sand with a ferocious roar. The dark green creature landed and crowched, growling deep in his throught.

After Warrior's little display, he stood up and looked around to see just how many he had popped in on. Sure enough, it was a small group of kuhna.

[Polaris]

All six kuhnas jumped when the newcomer arrived. Rogan and Lasaril took to the skys, Isis growled, Rebel's fur puffed up, Eriea fell out of the tree she had been balancing in, and Tamryen turned his head in confusion. Polaris stood up and went to greet the newcomer. "Hello, I am Polaris, and they are our little war training group."
Tamryen came forward and nodded a hello, "I am Tamryen," and so it went. Each kuhna introduced themselves, some a bit more reserved than others. Isis  took advantage of Eriea's lapse of attention to cuff her over the head, which resulted in a scuffle which Lasaril broke up quickly.
"Eh... sorry for my family's oddites," Rogan apologized, looking around at his diverse family.

E??wyra-----Ryen-----Aya-----FireHeart {in pet form =P}

There were more Kuhnas out and about in Wilt'no, two having come from Fire's pen and the other one being intercepted on his way home.  "It's so good to see you again, Mother..." Ryen said, smiling.  E??wyra nodded, nuzzling her son as she walked alongside a Blaze Fenling.  "I agree, Ryen.  I've missed you so m..." Here, the Arkuhna stopped her sentence.  She sniffed the air curiously, and then, she spotted the party of Kuhnas and Polaris.

Fire looked up, also noticing the trainer.  "I say, that looks like Poalris... and would that be Tamryen over by her?" She said, and at that, E??wyra was off like a shot, barreling into her Calamikuhna lifemate.  "Hello Tamryen!" She purred happily.

Aya followed along after Ryen, shaking her head.  "Did she HAVE to do that, Dad?" She asked, and Ryen nodded, walking over to his father.

{E??wyra: 42||Ryen: 101||Fire: 14||Aya: 37}

[Polaris]

Tamryen purred deeply, laughing too. "E??wyra! Where did you come from?" He peeked over her shoulder, "And Ryen and Wyra! Come 'ere!" His eyes danced happily, as he looked at the other half of the family.

"Fire!" Polaris called happily, holding Isis in one arm and Eriea in another. The two were still trying to rip each other's fur out, but Polaris sucessfully restrained them.

Meanwhile, Rogan and Lasaril peeked out at the other kuhnas. "So THOSE what Tam's kids look like? I wonder if they're like Sonea. They're the poision and calami right? I can't imagin how he'd have managed to have a spectrum," Lasaril rambled. Rogan shook his head, "Lasaril dear, Tamryen does have a spectrum kitten, but she's over with Flame remember? Now lets go greet the newcomers."

Rebel hung back, nervous. She had never really known Tamryen well, and didn't feel right talking to his family. She scuffed her feet around int he sand and looked up at the big leebra, wondering where he'd come from.

The rather large leebra sat on his haunches and smiled. "Sorry about that, but I am working on sneak attacks after all." Glancing around, he noted the number of creatures out in the heat. "Nice to meet ya." he said as the others introduced himself. "I'm Warrior. I'm also assuming you all are training for the war too?"

Glancing around, he studied each one intentily. Once his eyes fell on Rebel, he couldn't look away. "Wow, cool tattoos you got there. You don't have to be nervouse around me. I wasn't really planning on attacking anyone. Just startle them a bit...Or a lot." Warrior laughed a bit at the last part and miandered over to Rebel.

[SpringsSong]

E??wyra grinned as she purred.  "I just came here from Basantha, and happened to run into Ryen and Aya.  Fire decided she wanted to tag along as well, so..." She chuckled again.  Ryen walked up to his father, head held high.  "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Dad." He said, smiling.  "I'm just sorry that... well, with the war coming up and all, I'll have to be going soon..." He said, and his mother and daughter moaned in anguish.

"Dad, do you have to go?" Aya asked, her eyes widening.  Fire nodded for him.  "Aya, your father is my second-strongest pet, and Alexa will never be able to focus on the fight for long." She said, and then turned to Polaris.  "Having a few issues with your Kuhnas there?" She asked, smiling.

Warrior looked up from the little family reunion as wingbeats came to his ears. Sure enough, a tall imperial hollowheart was flying high overhead. "Hey Honora! Honora! Down here!" The leebra called as he waved a paw. The hollowheart glanced down and smiled cooly before banking and heading torward the sand. Warrior blocked his face as a cloud of sand flew up in Honora's wake. "Hello, Warrior." the creature said.

The leebra sat on his flanks again. "Hey, Honora, I didn't know you were gonna sign up for the war too." The white dragon nodded his head. "Of course. I must stand up for my side." Warrior nodded as well. "Just don't get yourself hurt too bad. I don't wanna have to explain that to Zuko." Honora laughed.

The leebra stood and ran over to a tree. Using the claws on his front paws, he began pulling himself up using only his arms. His hooves dangled behind him since they weren't much use when it came to climbing. Honora on the other hand, bowed his long neck to the others. "God day, everyone." he said cheerfully. "I am Honora."

[SpringsSong]

Ryen looked towards the edge of the desert and said, simply, "It is time.  I must go.  I promise I shall return later..."  E??wyra and Aya groaned, but Fire said, "Take care of yourself out there, Ryen, and tell Tali?±a and Ashilata to do the same!"  Ryen nodded as he ran out of the desert, leaving but a trail of dust.

{E??wyra: 44||Ryen: 103 [left]||Fire: 16||Aya: 39}

[Kitsune_Beauty]

Warrior and Honora both looked up. "We need to go too. Lets hope our training pays off." With that, Warrior lept on Honora's back and the two took to the air in a cloud of sand.

[Polaris]

Polaris nodded disparingly, "Yes... Eirea and Isis don't get along very well. The war? Oh no, Tam, you'd better get going then. Unless you want to work on your training more...?"

Tamryen nodded, "Yes, I think I'll train a bit more before I go. Is anyone else coming with me?"

Isis managed to break free from Polaris's grasp, "I am!"

"No you're not!" Lasaril screeched, pelting down on to the young kuhna from the sky, "You're much to young. I am going."

"Well if you go, I have to go to." Rogan said, preactically falling out of the sky also.

"You can't all go! That means I can't go!" Eriea whined.

"I thought you didn't want to go?" Isis sneered, "After all, you can't do anything anyway."

"Can too! I'm a fast healer and... stuff...." She trailed off, realizing Isis had one up on her. "But I'm older than you!"

Tamryen folded his ears back in disgust at their bickering, "I don't think you all even have the final say, that's Polaris's choice." He turned to Polaris, seeking support.

"Of course..." she sighed wearily, "I really don't like sending any of you of to war with all of you being so untrained... but maybe you'll get lucky. So, as of now, Tamryen and..." she paused thinking, "And Eriea, as she has the most experiance."

This annoucement was greeted with a plethora of mumbleing and grumbleing. Lasaril and Rogan however, did have something to say, "Well then, is it one of us or Isis? She has that healing abilty that we don't but out endurance is better? Who is it?" Rogan asked, a bit pretubed. He had no doubt that Lasaril would be chosen of the two of them, she was after all, the most suited for the war life.

Polaris shook her head, "I'm not sure yet. We'll just have to see how the plot unfolds."

Rebel looked over at the Leebra when he commented on her fur markings, "Oh, yeah... they're not really tattoos, I kinda don't remember how I got them... long story. Anyway, good luck!" She called as he left. He seemed nice, if a bit of a show-off. She grinned to herself, Nothin' wrong with showin' people you can do a few tricks...

[SpringsSong]

E??wyra sighed in despair as Polaris said that Tamryen would be going into the war.  "Do take care of yourself, my love... Poor Ryen went to war with his lifemate sitting off to the sidelines... Tali?±a, Fire's prized Lucain, is going to be fighting alongside her lifemate..." She nuzzled him gently, purring as Aya looked over at him.

"Hello, Grandfather." She said, a slight smile coming to her face.  E??wyra cringed at hearing that term; it made her feel... old.

Fire sighed.  "They way they just have to up and go sometimes... *sigh* It hurts me to see Ryen go into the war while his lifemate can but watch... What side have you taken?" She asked, holding out her "Seekers of the Honor Brigade" badge.  "I... I have sworn my pets the the Imperialists, and I fear that if you side with the Purines, father and son might have to face off..." She said, nodding towards Tamryen.

"NEVER!" E??wyra cried, her voice breaking with tears.  "They cannot fight... They cannot... I won't allow it!" She said, crying.  "...this is why E??wyra's not going to fight.  She doesn't like the thought of fighting." Fire said, and then, looked towards the Preluhna, feeling the pang of jealousy towards Polaris for having a Preluhna.  "Eriea, you say?  Didn't you meet Ryen in Roraldi one time?" She asked, having remembered the name.

{E??wyra: 45||Fire: 17 [¬¬ I'm weaker than all my pets that I roleplay! Dx]]||Aya: 40}

[Polaris]

"Yup," Eriea said, "I remember him," she smiled, "He was sweet, if a bit gloomy. And yes... I will fight. But mostly healing and stuff since I'm not very good at the whole punching people's lights out thing."

Tamryen looked uncomfortable when Fire annouced which side the pets would be joining. He did not want ot have to fight against his son, or any other family members if possible. POlaris musterd a grim smile, "We're not sure yet. We like the Purine's beleifs, but then again, the Maiden's Tear is certainly a tempting prospect..." she trailed off, knowing already which side they would join. "I... I have thoughts on how the war might be resolved, as peaceful as possible. If, and I say, if, Tamryen, Eriea, or an undiecided someone is able to graduate to a high enough rank that they might be able to influence the commander's decisions and avoid any bloodshed, but I doubt that would be possible." She finsished, now having actually voiced the plan to someone outside of the Refuge, she wondered if it was such a good idea afterall.

Tamryen rested his chin on E??wyra's shoulder for a moment before casting an quizical eye to Aya, "Did you just call me grandfather?"

Lasaril and Rogan were deep in thought, plotting some argument to shoot at Polaris as soon as she was done talking to Fire.

Isis was keeping to herself, going over a mental list of everything she might work on to get into the war effort.

Rebel came up to Polaris in the pause and whispered somehting in her ear. "Of course, of course Rebel, you can leave now since we know you don't wish to join in the war, go ahead," Polaris smiled imploringly, knowing what it must be like to have to sit thorough this.

((Isis:13~Reble:15LEVEL~Lasaril:17~Rogan:17~Eriea:31~Tamryen:47))

[SpringsSong]

Aya tilted her head.  "Yes, I did.  After all, you are.  Ryen's my father, and you'r his father." She said, blinking.  "After all, unless I have been decieved in my lineage..."  E??wyra chuckled as she said, "I'm pretty sure Tamryen hasn't quite gotten around to thinking about grandchildren, though he has seven... two of which remain with one of their parents." She sighed again.  "Wyra was devastated..."

Fire shifted her glance.  "Hey hey hey, I tried, okay, E??wyra?" She said quickly before nodding to Eriea.  "Ah... he did indeed mention you... but that was before he met his lifemate.  Beautiful girl, she is... as are you.  All Preluhnas are angelic... Believe me; I know.  One came to live with us just this morning by the name of Lanikai." She said, smiling broadly.  "Such a sweet girl, she is."  Aya nodded.  "Yes!  And now that you have you Preluhna..."

"Kamo Kuhna, without a doubt." Fire said, grinning.  "Well... maybe a Generation one.  I just hope I can get one." The Fenling-Trainer lay down on the sand, grooming one of her four tails contentedly.

{E??wyra: 46||Fire: 18||Aya: 41}

[Polaris]

"Seven?!" Tamryen exclaimed, alarmed. "Sheesh they started young..." he muttered to himself, grinning slightly at the prospect of meeting his grandkids.

Eriea smiled, and fluttered her tiny feathered wings. Isis on the other hand commented, "Angelic? Eriea? Pft. Yeah right..."

The preluhna scowled in Isis's general direction, a hurt look on her face. "You're part preluhna too... don't know what the other half is though. Must be sour, since you're always so bad tempered." She hissed through clenched teeth.

Tears welled up in Isis's bright pink eyes, "How dare you!" She sobbed quietly, burrying her face in Polaris's leg.

Polaris looked to the sky for a moment before bending down and plucking the mewling ankies off the ground. "You have a preluhna now too? That's wonderful!" She said smiling to Fireheart. She shot a I'll-deal-with-you-later look at Ereia. "You know, I think it might do these two good to have a bit of war disipline in them. Isis, you're fighting too."

Lasaril and Rogan both sighed, "I guess it's better this way... Well, off we go!" They chimed in usion, then took to the sky, a streaking trail of silver and yellow flames against the blue background.

((Isis:14~Lasaril:18~Rogan:18~Eriea:32~Tamryen:48))
[Gah! Silly kuhnas are always fighting... they -Isis and Eriea that is- both have the same mother, but different fathers]
