Welcome to Gaia! ::

what's going on exactly? O_o

She wanders around Megaolopis Square, her ears pinned back to all the chatter. She didn't like to be around all the crowds, it made her feel vunerable and out of place but it was needed to get to where she was going. She slips down the stairs, her purple slitted eyes avoiding anyone's gaze as she heads over to the girl clad in green. Her ears perk back up suddenly as she tries to remember the girl's name to gain her attention.

"Kochi..." She finally says, her voice quiet and timid.

The girl turns to look at her smiling before yelping to catch her hat as it tries to fly away. The cat smiles faintly, always amused by that before the girl looks at her again.

"Where would you like to go?"

"Gate of Desert Beach."

She hands over the 300 galder before closing her eyes as the senstation of teleportation comes over her. She opens her eyes again as she feels a blast of warm air. She liked it here better than Mega...Much more quieter. She walks across the sand and over to Kochi again, wanting to go to Paradise. She hands over the required galder and waits again. This time when she opens her eyes, she's in a small little town in the Desert, given the apporiate name of Paradise. Ignoring the other animals, she takes off her felt hat and takes away her sword and shield. When in public like this, she had picked up the habit of walking without any added accesories. She goes into the item shop, still ignoring the others around her. They stared at her for choosing to walk without accessiores. But it had gotten her into plenty of trouble already. She turns to the left after going through the door and heads into the corner by the Card Girl. She sits down and gently takes her pet, Blue Penguin, into her arms. She absently strokes it, just watching everyone else in silence.


Vasteel was over in the desert taking a walk through various places to clear his mind after getting into a argument with one of this friends, he passed some people having a conversation who were talking about how King Tut had gained some new power that caused people to leave the dungeon and force them to trek through it all over again...

"heh" he said...
"thank god i got my seals...thank lord i don't have to go through that place again..."

his black trenchcoat moved almost elegently with his movement it wasn't till he got near the shop that he relized he was carrying a little to much ammunition

"hmmmm...i think i over stocked on bullets"
he said as he tossed a bullet in the air and grabbed it like how a person tosses a coin in the air before grabing it

he went into the shop and spoke with lisa and dropped off nearly 1500 bullets before his pockets weren't as stuffed as they were before

he wasn't sure on waht to do...he played with his tail for abit looking around at everyone...but there was someone who caught his eye....a cat....sitting in the corner with a penquin...

he stopped playing with his tail and just looked at her...not sure what to do...

he wasn't sure if he should go up and talk with her or let her be.

She contiunes stroking the feathers of the penguin, her tail waving idily back and forth. She wasn't focusing on anything, for there was nothing in the last hour that she had been sitting here that caught her attetion. But now, all of a sudden her ears twitch back and forth and she slowly lifts her eyes. Out of everyone here, she notices a lion staring intently at her and her ears lay back fully, intimdated by his gaze and very wary of him.

Vasteel stood there still looking...

"snap out of it you fool!!!"

even though he heard himself from inside of his head he couldn't stop looking at the cat...

why was he looking at her?

she didn't look like anyone he knew...and he surely was sure that it wasn't the friend of his he got into a fight to awhile back

he kept looking, he couldn't stop looking at her...

"SNAP OUT OF IT DAMMIT!"

he suddenly shook his head before relizing what he was doing...he looked around real quick...walked by very fast, and in the process as he passed the cat by..threw a bag at her that landed just a few inches away from her

as he got out he checked his galder bag
"heh still have enough for warping to ghost blue"

he smirked and walked off, gun loaded...

The cat's ears perk back up as the lion walks by quickly and tosses something her way. Knowing how the other animals are when something is dropped, she's quick to pounce on it and claim it as her own, growling quietly at those who get too close. When interest is lost once more, she twitches her ears, opening the bag and gazing inside as her penguin does the same, chriping in question.

Vasteel had just arrived in mega when he went to take the teleporter to ghost blues gate, he took a look and relized he was short

"guh...i must've given her to much when i tossed the bag to her, guess i'll have to walk it"

he headed off in to the southeast forest before coming upon a cave...the sound of the ocean could be faintly heard just from standing at the caves entrance...

"never did like walking through this cave...."

he quickly took off Aeolus behind him trying to keep up

Seeing the lion has given her a pouch of galders she frowns slightly, wondering just why he chose to give her so much. She takes off her pack and puts it inside before standing up.

"Come on Blues..." She says quietly and her penguin chrips as she starts walking off.

She heads back out into the temperate climate of Paradise before walking off towards the portal. Just before reaching it she steps off to the side to Pachi. Making a few teleporting trips, she's seen again in Oops Wharf, her ears perked to hear the sound of the waves. She sighs softly, wondering what she was really doing here. She knew she was looking for a family, but no one would want an outcast cat like herself. She goes over near the item girl and curls up, her tail waving sadly as she frowns.

Day after day he had been down here in this aquatic place, he swore he could see some faint shadows up in the waves that looked like the bullets he had been using.

he went only so far before sighting a group of ghost pirates

"i see you..."

he ran to the nearest rock formation and got down, he readied his gun and took aim...

he kept watch there for several hours watching them...

as soon as he saw the proper chance he let loose afew shots at the ghost pirates once the smoke cleared he looked to see if he had gotten any of them

about 3 of them layed dead, the other 3 were running

"hmph, i'll have to be more precise in my aim..."

he got up and walked over to the pirates that were dead on the ground

he looked around for the sleep walking medicine
only 1

"hmph, dam pirates, they must not be carrying this stuff on them now...
i guess i'll just have to keep up on killing them till i get it"

afew hours passed very little happend, as if time itself was frozen

killing pirates, no medicine

guh, it will take me forever to finish this key...


after using up so much ammo he decided to return to the town to resupply on ammo

"I'm sorry" the item girl said
were all out of ammo right now...we should be getting a new shipment in afew months

"dammit" he muttered

he took a teleport and then relized he was short on fried eggs
"hmm...guess i'll have to make a trek over to phantom school"

he took another set of teleporters before arriving at oops wharf, he swung by the item girl and was just about to stock on bullets but as he got close he saw the cat again...he froze up...

"It's that cat again..." he muttered underneath his breath
he just stood there again in the middle of the open looking at her...
he couldn't take his eye off her...why couldn't he??

he slowly walked towards the statue before relizing what he was doing
"dammit i need to focus even more"

but he couldn't shake this feeling that he knew the cat somehow...but he's only seen her twice...why did he get this feeling that he knew her?

he shook the feeling off and decided to just go up to the item girl, even with the cat there...

She had barely moved away from the Item Girl since she had gotten there a few days earlier. She only really moved to strech her sore limbs and than quickly returned to her spot. When the lion spots her, she's curled up close to the Item Girl, her penguin cacooned in her arms and both are sleeping. The penguin is the first to hear his apporach and she opens her eyes, chriping a little bit. The cat's ears twitch to hear the familar chrips and she slowly opens her eyes as well. She rubs them and yawns, streching out and sitting up, looking around. Seeing the lion rather quickly, she blushes brightly and scoots back, letting him talk to the girl with ease and pinning her ears back a bit.

he spoke with the item girl
she was had no ammo in stock

"jeez whats with the shops having no ammo?"

"I'm sorry Vasteel...the shipments have been kinda late...we should be getting some soon...i don't know if the gate is still in stock..."

he cursed under his breath for afew seconds

he took a quick glance at the cat before turning back to look at one of his pockets to see how much ammo he had...he had little galder from teleporting, his day wasn't going great

"well this has been perfect!" he said to himself

he started to walk before he tripped over the cat's penquin

"OW!"

The cat's ears perk in curiousity to hear the Item Gril tell him that thier shipments have been late, though her gaze is towards the tent belonging to the Star Gazer Stella. She frowns a bit in thought, thinking it very odd that the shipments have been late this time around. When the lion trips, the penguin chrips loudly in pain and she turns quickly, scooping her up. The penguin is giving a chriping kind of cry as she tries to soothe her before glaring a bit at the lion.

"You didn't have to hurt her...She was just curious..." She says with a faint growl in her voice, knowing her penguin gets curious about the other animals rather easily.

It's only a few minutes later the penguin is jumping out of her arms and coming closer to the lion again, patting at him with a fin to satisfy her curiousity.

Vasteel turned around his body aching

"i did no such thing, your penguin tripped me that's all"

he looked at the penguin as it patted one of his legs with it's fins

"a curious one...i'll give ya that...not many of these penguins are curious ones"

he got up and dusted off his jacket made sure his gun was in fine condition and looked at the cat

"for the record my name is Vasteel, just make sure you watch that penguin of yours...with how curious it is, i'd be afraid of where it may go..."

he was silent for afew seconds

"what's your name?"

"She knows better than to wander far. She knows curiousity is sometimes a bad thing..." The cat answers.

Her ears twitch a bit to his name, nodding a little as the penguin taps the lion's other foot with her fin and it manages to get a small smile from the cat.

"Lunarea. But I prefer Luna. And she is Blues." She gestures to the penguin who's moved and is now trying to play with Vasteel's tail.

After that, she goes silent, her own tail waving a bit.

the name seemd familiar to him, he couldn't remeber where he heard it though

"i see...tell me luna..."

he was rather silent for afew seconds

"have you happend to see any places in stock on ammo?"

he to was starting to find it abit weird that shipments have been late...if they kept getting later and later...then he would have no means of huting his enemies down

"I'm not one who uses Ammo...So I haven't been keeping up with it...But have you tried backtracking all the way to Paradise or Blooming Cora?" She asks, her mind still wondering why it was the shipment was so late, espically on something like Ammo.

After satisfying her curiousity with the lion, Blues has moved on to the Item Girl and seems to have made a new friend with her since the girl is cooing at her as she chrips in playfulness.

"hmmm...never did think to look there"

he looked at luna's pet again just seeing it be that curious made him chuckle almost,

"i guess i'll give those spots a try and see if they have any"

he started walking towards the entryway to the feilds before he yelled for Aeolus' name

he turned his head and said

"i'll see you around luna..."

and then off he walked

he arrived in mega when he began to hear the people talk in disgust about some cat that had just come through the town

he heard one snicker about giving her a kick in the leg, he heard some others talk, but there was one who caught his attention

"that stupid cat...why does she always walk around like that! a fool if you ask me!"

he heard the croud around that person laugh before he reached into his pocket for something

"well she JUST so happend to drop THIS!"

he saw the dragon hold up something, he couldn't make it out...the dragon was holding it to high for him to make it out...but he thought he heard something chirp...whatever it was that made the sound..it sounded like it was frightend

Hearing no response for her angered remark about her choices, she's quick to sit up and look around.

"Blues? Blues!" She calls, her eyes wide with fear at seeing her beloved penguin missing.

She's quick to get up and ignoring the pain in her body, heads off back to Mega. She's quick to find the crowd, near the statue next to the teleporting twins, and growls, pushing her way through the crowd.

"Give her back!" She growls harshly, glaring at the dragon who smirks as he gazes on her, lowering Blues who chrips with fear.

"Tell me cat, why should I? When you choose to walk as you do?" He asks with a sweet voice.

Luna growls harshly, her ears laid back in anger as she limps up to the dragon.

"Because that's exactly what it is. A choice. Why should it matter to you, or anyone else in this world, what I choose to do? If I die on the field because of it, well guess what. It's my fault, not yours. Now give her back!" Luna growls.

She yelps sharply as the dragon kicks her away, too quick for her to see and she lands on her side, panting as Blues chrips in fear, reaching out to her.

seeing wat happend Vasteel runs in through the crowd

"Give her the penquin back!" he yells at the top of his lungs

the dragon looks at him and sneers
"so...your a friend of hers...?"

vasteel was silent for second
"and if i am...?"

the dragon chuckeled...
"a expert lion...being friends with a foolish cat like this?, you make me laugh"

Vasteel took afew steps foward and said
"Look....just let the penguin go...and give it back to her...and we can all go on as normal"

the dragon gave a evil look
"make me!, if you want this pet back to the owner so badly...then i want you to...."

he turned around and suddenly threw the pet high in the air!
"GRAB THE PENGUIN!"

Vasteel looked up eyes wide-open
"Aeolus...FETCH!"

Aeolus immedaitly took off in the air for the penguin, as aeolus took off the dragon went to reach for him, only to find Vasteel's gun barrel pointed directly infront of his face

Vasteel said in a low voice in a angry tone
"don't...you...DARE!"

the dragon was silent...
"h...how...how the hell did you?"

Aeolus came floating down afew seconds later holding the penguin tightly

Vasteel continued to hold his gun aimed at the dragons face, when Aeolus landed he said
"Aeolus...return the penguin"

Aeolus just nodded and went off to luna to give the penguin back

Vasteel looked quickly at Aeolus and then looked back at the dragon gun still aimed

"understand now...if we meet paths again...and i find you causing problems for her...your going to find a bullet lodged in that skull of yours...UNDERSTAND ME!"

the dragon freaked out when he yelled and ran off

"the same goes for all of you!"

he swung the gun around aiming at the crowd, finger away from the trigger
the crowd scattered quickly and when it looked like everyone was gone, he put the gun away and went over to Luna, he held his hand out to help her up.

Luna is still laying where she had fallen thanks to being kicked and it's quickly obvious why when Vasteel tries to help her up. After accepting Blues back from the other's pet and hugging on tightly to her, as the penguin hugs her back and shivers, she collapses the moment she's back on her feet with Vasteel's help. But she only growls faintly in anger, her ears still pinned back.

"What is it with these people? If it's my foolishness for what I choose to do, why should they care? If I die, oh well. One less foolish cat for them to worry about..." She hisses, greatly angered by the mistreatment both her and Blues just went through.

But it seems to Vasteel, as Luna tries to gain her feet once more, that there may be more to her anger than this one instance and as Luna finally gains her feet, her tail moving to balance her as she limps, he sees on her back a few places where the fur has not grown back competely right, an easy to miss thing since hardly anyone notices.

Vasteel paid no mind to the patches but he suddenly had his attention caught to one of them...there was several scars where the patches hadn't grown back, he also took note of all her wounds.

he offered a suggestion to luna but she said she was alright, only to take another step and collapse again,

despite minor wounds she was pushing herself to hard, he never did understand how precious the pet was, but he wouldn't ask, in which way it was important he would let it go, until he felt like the time was right to ask.

he picked up luna and walked off towards the southeast forest, where he had secretly placed a Mycamp, true u weren't supposed to do it...but it didn't bother him

he went inside and laid luna down on the bed, then he went and sat down at his table looking through some papers, gun laying on the table.

Luna protests to him carrying her, trying to fight him. But she can't get free and turns on her side once she's laid down. It's only a few minutes later, she's turning back over, a curious look in her eyes. Seeing Blues has recovered and is chriping to get down, she lets the small penguin down who immedatily goes off exploring. The small penguin chrips and peeks into things as she explores, flapping her fins every so often.

he looked up from the papers to see the penguin walking around exploring his house, it truly was a curious one...far more curious then he thought it was when he first saw it at oops wharf,

he looked to luna, also noticing her looking about

"it's not much but it is home"
Vasteel said with a calm tone, he got up from his table and went over to a small cabinet, he opened it and looked inside real quick before pulling something out, he went over to luna and handed her a cup of anemone juice and had a glass himself

things have been bumpy for the past few hours, ammo crisis and all, he just wanted to take a break for the day and relax

Blues walks over and chrips, sitting next to the bed and blinking at them while Luna sits up and takes the glass.

"Thanks..." She murmurs quietly, knowing that it had been hectic.

She drinks the juice with a soft sigh, her ears laying back a little bit though she doesn't seem as angered as before or as upset.

Vasteel placed his cup on the table and was silent for abit, he wasn't really sure what to say, he never had company in his house, just him and aeolus,

it was after awhile he decided to ask

"tell me luna...what brings you to this island anyway?"
he wanted to slap himself in the face for asking a question like that...what the hell was he thinking?

Luna is silent herself, something that Vasteel is starting to notice is very common with her. When he asks his question, her ears perk up before laying fully back as she looks down.

"I guess it would come out eventually...Considering thier already here..."

Luna sighs softly and curls up on the bed, looking like the young cat she really is instead of the quiet and nearly emtionless cat Vasteel has come to know.

"I was casted out and disowned by my family and pack...Just because as a cat...I couldn't sing...I got into a fight with someone...And they hit my thoart...Ruining it. I guess now...They feel the need to kill me...Instead of letting me live with the knowledge and shame of it...So I came here...Looking for someone who could tear away my shame...And adopt me...So I could know what it feels like to have a family again..."

Probably the longest Vasteel will ever hear her speak, but it's in a monotone, devoid of all emtion. And she refuses to look at the lion. Blues is sitting on the ground by the bed, quietly chriping in a crying way as she listens to how her mistress speaks.

he was silent for afew seconds, being casted out of her family just cuse she couldn't sing...the nerve of her family!

"i feel sorry for you...it's so rare for someoen to be casted out of thier own kind..."
Vasteel said in a sympathetic tone, i guess that explains why the dragon was acting like that when he had the penguin, he said to himself

he got up and moved some papers around about the table, suddenly a picture fell on the ground.
he went over and picked it up and looked at it...it was that same picture he had held onto for years

the picture of him and his little sister...

"Cats are known for being able to sing...Just as Lions are good shooters and Dragons as magic users...Having one who's singing ability is ruined destorys everything...And though it's not easy to see...I guess they've been spreading it around...Since everyone is so hostile to me now..." Luna's voice finally changes in her last sentence, becoming a grumbling anger as she waves her tail.

She shifts on the bed a bit and a sudden sharp pain goes through the side of her chest, one she hadn't felt before. She gasps loudly, her body tightening up as she suddenly finds herself struggling to draw a breathe.

Vasteel suddenlly came to and heard Luna's cry, he ran right to the bed, dropping the pitcure he held her up

"luna!? LUNA?!"

he was panicing he didn't know what to do!!

he ran into one of his closets and looked about for something that might help, he dug in the closet, potions...no, sea anemone juice...no, that was when he found a box, he pullled it out and opened it...there was a syrigne in it along with a bottle filled with a liquid...he couldn't remeber where he got it from but he rembered someone telling him that it was to be used only if someone was in pain and couldn't breathe...

he was willing to take the risk...he pulled out the syrigine and filled it with the liquid and went to luna

"i hope this works..."

he stuck the needle into luna's side and injected the liquid, he hoped he was doing the right thing....he hadn't paniced this badly since that horrific event 10 years go.

Luna's eyes are wide with panic as she gasps breathlessly, wondering in her back of her mind what set off this strange attack. Though having been hit in the chest several times, nothing had been broken which in and of itself was a miracle. When Vasteel plunges the syringe into her side she gives a faint breathless whine of pain, closing her eyes. As Vasteel hopes he did the right thing with the syringe, it takes a few minutes for Luna to respond to it. She finally gives a loud gasp, coughing harshly as she struggles to regain her breathe.

he dropped the syringe, he wasn't sure if what he did was helping or what, all he could was hope it was working...

after awhile of what seemed like she would cough up her lungs she was able to breath and stopped coughing.

"l...luna...?....are you....okay?"
he said...his voice sounded like it was still unsure about what he had done with the syringe

around this time there was a sheep travelling through the woods, the sound of gun-fire had attracted her attention and she decided to look to see what all the commotion was about,

she got into the clearing where Luna and Vasteel were

"oh my!" she said
"What happend here?!"

the sheep came running up wondering what had happend

"A lot...of bad stuff..." Luna murmurs looking up at the sheep.

She's cautious and suspicious of anyone new after finding out the animals have been told about her. She shrinks back a little bit and her ears lay back as she moves slightly to put herself in front of Vasteel, hoping the slight movement goes unnoticed.

the sheep looked at them both, taking note of all the wounds they have
"These wounds look pretty serious, these need to be taken care of, is there"

she looked around
"is there a house or somewhere where i can help tend to your wounds?"

"Erm...He had set up a camp out here...But I don't know if it's still up..." Luna says quietly, looking around a little bit.

Blues ventures from Luna's side though she's cautious as well and pats the sheep's feet before flapping her flippers and chriping.

Vasteel pointed in the direction of his house, he said with a quiet voice
"it's...over there..."

the sheep looked in the direction he was pointing and noticed a small hint of light from a camp,
"ah that's where it is!, please let me help you both"
she helped luna up and they both carried Vasteel over thier shoulders and went back into the house, luna was laid on the bed again and Vasteel was placed on the chair, by his request

"gosh i haven't seen wounds this serious...it might take awhile to treat them all"

she pulled out her book, which is rare to been seen by many bards, and began the healing process

Luna lays on her side on the bed, her tail waving a little bit as she watches the sheep as well as Vasteel. Blues is wandering around the camp again, trying to find a way to climb up to Luna without having the cat help her so her mistress doesn't go through anymore pain. Watching the sheep pull out her book, Luna blinks a bit in surprise but stays quiet.

the sheep began to chant words from the book and soon Vasteel began to glow, she continued to read words from the book and soon the wounds that Vasteel had suffered soon began to mend by themselves, it only took afew minutes for her to finish the spell, he gave him a quick look to make sure he was in good condition

after she finished with Vasteel she proceeded to heal Luna, when she finished the sheep took notice of Blues, she chuckeled and picked up blues and handed him to her

"well" she said "it looks like everythings in good condition, no broken bones luckily, it's a good thing i found you to"

Blues huggles onto Luna as soon as she's next to her and Luna smiles faintly, noticing Blues has become a lot more affectionate lately which doesn't really surprise her. When the sheep heals her, Luna finally manages to draw a deep breathe, her body shaking a little bit as she does. She nods in agreement to the sheeps words, thankful they were found as well but can't help but still be suspicious of her intentions, her ears laid bac a bit.

the sheep put her book away and said "well i guess that's all i can do for now, i bid you both farwell, maybe will see each other again?"

and with that the sheep left, it was quiet as Luna laid there on the bed stroking her pet, Vasteel had just come to, and noticed where he was, he got up and looked around.

"man, that's the most beating i've taken in years"
he went to the table and looked at the necklace, the join part had been snapped off completly when the dragon yanked it off of him.

he frowned
"dammit, i'm gonna have to find a new joint part to connect onto this necklace"

Luna watches the sheep leave, frowning slightly still. But amazingly, within the next few moments it takes for Vasteel to wake up, Luna passes out, exhausted from all that's happened. Blues isn't as tired as her mistress and when Vasteel gets up, she chrips in greeting moving to the edge of the bed.

he heard blues chirping sounds and looked at him, he smiled and then noticed luna passed out,

"it sure has been quite a day"
he said softly, he got up still holding the necklace and pulled the sheets up to cover luna, after that he went back to his table and tried to figure out how we was gonna fix his necklace, now broken thanks to the dragon,

he let out a sigh Aeolus now flying aruond the house in what Vasteel guessed was just to satisfy himself

Luna curls up under the blankets, shivering faintly in cold until her body heat is trapped enough under the covers to warm her up. Seeing Aelous flying around, Blues starts chriping at him. She flaps her wings, trying to fly to reach him though she can't. She eventually gives up and sits on the bed, chriping curiously at Vasteel.

as Vasteel works with the necklace he watches as Blues tries to fly with Aeolus and chuckles as he tries,

he tinkers with the necklace and carefully examines it, the joint part was snapped off along with several of the beads that connected the necklace and the joint peice, he would have to craft a new joint peice, and doing that would take awhile let alone maybe afew days if he could find the proper materials within in a day or two.

as he tinkered with the necklace he began to hear noises outside.
he quickly went outside to look, and heard someone scream

"there's a fox here!!!"
Vasteel gasped, then another voice followed saying
"she's not breathing....dear god....she's been shot!!!"

Vasteel's eye's-widened...the fox he shot in his beserked-craze, he then relized...his gun wasn't with him ethier!

"oh my god..."
Vasteel said, his voice a ghastly like tone...filled with fear

Blues chrips as she hears the voices outside and looks back as Luna stirs to the voices as well, blinking open her eyes.

"What's going on...?" She murmurs as she sits up and rubs at her eyes.

Blues chrips and flaps her flippers, pointing to the opening of the tent and Luna blinks sleepily.

Vasteel was in a state of shock,
all he could say was "come out and hear the voices for yourself"

luna got up and somewhat staggered to the door and heard a voice say
"Quick go find a doctor or someone!"

another voice picked up "HEY! i found a gun here! think it belongs to the shooter?!"

"if that's the case..."
he said a small pause before he continued
"then will they be hostile if i show up at thier gate by myself?"

he was hoping to find someway to find out how everything was tied together, her pack wanting her dead, word of her weakness spreading, there's a spy...that was all he could think,

Luna's ears perk back up as she frowns in thought.

"I'm not sure honestly...I can't remember how they treated ones not of thier pack...You know...I don't think we got many visitors..." She finishes with an unsure tone, not certain of what they would try to do to him.

he gives it some thought, thinking of what to do...
"were there any packs they were hostile to when they visted?"

he knew he was practiaclly asking her to resurface things she'd want to forget, but he had to figure out if he was gonna have to get in a secret way, or just plain walk himself into the packs terriotry

Luna's ears twitch as she frowns in thought again before nodding.

"Dragons and Buffalos. Lions were close to our species and were left alone. Racoons they also left alone because we had similar abilites. And the female side, the Bunnies and the like were well protected because of the maternal instinct...If only it extended inside the pack as well..." She grumbles at the end, waving her tail irritably.

Vasteel was abit confused
"so the cats were hostile to all the packs or?"

"Either pack or indivduals, didn't matter to them."

She moves away as another ghost boy comes close, letting it wander away before returning and resuming her crouch

he to watched the ghost boy and slowly reached for his sword as it came close, but his hand fell to his side when the ghost boy went walking in the other direction

he thought for abit
"if this is the case then i'll try to go into ther territory directly, if that doesn't work then i'll have to find a alternative route"

"Thier territory is just outside of Blooming Cora. Probably a day's travel outside of the beginning of the terroitory that marks this island. It's why I'm so used to water." She quips with a faint smile, twitching her tail back and forth.

"strange" he said
"aren't cats supposed to be afraid of water?"

it sounded pretty stupid to be asking luna such a question, considering it was in cora, there'd be far to many eyes, and a good chance that parties would be there first looking for him,

this was gonna need some preperations

"Mostly yea. And I do remember there were some in the pack that still didn't care for it. But I got over it as I grew. I mean, I have to a bit if I have Blues as a pet." She comments, running her paw over the penguin who's fallen asleep in her lap while they've been talking.

he gave it some thought...

"i guess...hmmmm blooming cora...were gonna have to be careful there...there's a good chance there will be scouting parties there...espically the ones who are looking for you"

this was gonna require alot of planing...if only he had his gun again,

"I wouldn't doubt it...That's why I've stayed away from there in my travels. The closet I get is Paradise."

Seeing no ghosts nearby for the moment, Luna moves to sit on one of the boxes nearby, waving her tail a little bit as she frowns in thought as to how they would get there.

he gave it some thought, the parties would soon begin hitting paradise and all the other areas once they found no traces of them in cora, it would only be a matter of time before parties started becoming larger and were spread about the entire island

"we'll have to move quick then, we'll make our way to paradise and hide out in the cave that connects cora and paradise until night falls, after that we'll make our way to the cat's territory"

Luna twitches to the mention of the cave but she nods, knowing it needs to be done. If things kept up the way thier were going, it would only be a matter of time before the two of them were unable to travel at all. She sighs softly, hanging her head.

"Why couldn't they have stayed where they were? I was no trouble to them...I knew what would happen should I return and I was smart enough to stay away..." She mutters angirly, shaking her head.

he made sure his sword was attached firmly to his side, and made sure they were ready, "alright, we need to get moving"

they ran off pass the gate and into the southwest forest, they moved through the forest patches to avoid being seen by anyone for fear they were part of the search parties, when they got close to mega, Vasteel had Aeolus do a quick search, several minutes later revealed that almost everyone had gone to the ceremonia place for O/X ticket hand outs

Vasteel gave a chuckle
"good thing the quiz is going on or else it be hell trying to sneak through there"

the two hurried into mega and spoke with kochi and were teleported into paradise's gate, they ran into the cave, it to was empty, which wasn't very common

Vasteel looked around for a switch and found one, he threw it and the gate opened up

he walked to Luna
"well hopefully we can find something here to get stuff straightend out for you, here, hand me my stuff, i feel akward without it"

As he donned all his items back on he looked around for abit before finding a long and rather big silk cloth, he grabbed it and handed it to Luna
"this looks big enough to cover your face up, hopefully it should throw everyone off"

he patted Aeolus on the head after he flew around Vasteel afew times,

Luna looks a little amused as she stands up again, taking the cloth and fiddling with it a bit. She makes holes in it for her ears and ties it on her head, making sure any trace of her blue hair is covered and she looks up at Vasteel curiously, her ears twtiching a bit.

he was busy looking for something that he could use as a robe for her, when he found one he looked at her and kinda tilted his head

"wow...you kina look....cute...in that"
it had been the first time he heard himself say that, and almost immediatly went red in the face
"you idiot!" he yelled at himself,
he went over and handed her the cloak,
"this should work, no one should be able to recgonize you know hopefully

Luna's ears perk up before falling back and she blushes bright red to his words, having never been complimented before in her life.

"Thank you..." She murmurs quietly, not meeting his gaze for a few moments.

She takes off her equips and packs them away again and Blues willing hops into Luna's bag, knowing this is important. Luna puts the bag back on and puts on the cloak, pulling up the hood.

"Hopefully." She adds.

he checked her over to make sure there were no traces of her showing up from within the cloak, when it seemed like she was fully hidden, he gave a nod and signaled her to follow him,

they ran past the drunken cat who was still going on only this time she was trying to do something...kinda akward, they ran past her and ran down several corridors before they came to a large room, it was rather huge and it looked like several tenter lions could fit in it, in the middle was a huge opening, inside it looked like some kind of coliseum, wat the hell was this doing here?

Luna follows quietly after Vasteel and stops in surprise to see the colsiuem type area, blinking.

"This...was not here before..." She murmurs, her tail twitching under her cloak as she frowns a bit.

Had her pack gotten more barbaric and cruel in the five years that she had been gone?

a cat suddenly came walking in
"hey...who the hell do you think you are!"

Vasteel turns around, a cat with pinkish hair and black clothing all about stands there, a vigor sword sits hoisted to her side...he hadn't seen a sword like that in years,

the cat took afew more steps and said again
"what...the hell are you doing in here?!"

Vasteel blinked afew times and then said
"oh uh..pardon me i was trying to look for something, and i kinda stumbled on this place by accident"

the cat gave a huff
"i highly doubt that...no one goes wandering about this place"

she seemed to not notice Luna standing there, hiding beneath the cloak

the cat turned around facing Vasteel
"now i suggest you get out of the coliseum or else i'm gonna have to get you kicked out of here!"

Luna's ears perk, turning towards the voice as Vasteel is yelled at. She forces herself not to turn to face her quickly, trying to hide her shock. Turning slowly, she peeks out from under the hood and her purple eyes widen. The pink hair stood out the most to Luna, a color no one else shares in the pack. It was either blonde or brown for mostly everyone. Not wanting to get on the cat's bad side, Luna is quick to take Vasteel and hurry off, her footsteps fast and panicked. When they finally reach a quiet, hidden place, mostly near the alley where they came in, Luna lets him go.

"She's part of the guard now..." Luna breathes in a panic, her ears laid back and her tail twitching with agitation.

When she's stopped by Vasteel, she gazes up at him, breathing heavily.

"That was Soliel! That was the one who ruined my life!" Luna hisses angirly, pushing away from him and stepping back.

"We got our names from our hair color when we were born. Lunarea, Luna, for the blue moon. Soliel, for the pink dawn sky. No one else shares our hair color."

Luna paces, trying to calm down but failing miserably.

"I was hoping she had left by now..."

he was about to reply to the cat, but Luna quickly grabbed him and ran off with him. the cat turned as they ran and yelled "don't let me find you down here again!"

as she gave her rather fast explanation, Vasteel took note of it, though what bothered him the most was that room they were in, only a room like that would be common in Buffalo territory, why would it be there in Cat territory?

As luna attempted to clam down Vasteel walked over to her and placed his hands on her shoulders
"We'll get things straightend out here, trust me"

he looked to Aeolus
"Aeolus, go to that room and record anything you can notice"
Aeolus nodded and projected a camera from thin air and took off in the direction of the coliseum like room

Luna is tense under Vasteel's hands, breathing heavily as she tries to calm down.

"I was really hoping she'd left by now and gone out on her own. Wishful thinking..." Luna says with a sigh, lowering her head a bit.

Blues peeks her head out of Luna's bag and chrips, pushing aganist the cloak.

"Not yet Blues. We're still inside the gate." Luna murmurs and Blues is quick to disappear back inside the bag.

they were in a corridor that seemed to lead into a dead-end, no one would probably come in this direction, both Vasteel and Luna sat down,

as the two sat there it was rather silent, all that could be heard was the faint sound of conversations with the people in the main area, trading Myshop items

they continued to sit down, and then Vasteel asked
"tell me luna...is there anything you can tell me about your sister?"

Luna twitches her tail after they sit down, her ears twitching to hear the converstations. She's a bit suprised at seeing the Buffalos walking freely amongst the pack, seeing as she remembered them being very hostile.

"Soliel's actually my twin, if you couldn't tell from the fact we're the only two with oddly colored hair, even though it's different. And she's the older of us. You would think that would make her more protective of me. But she was ALWAYS bitter and I guess jealous of me. I never knew why. We both we're good singers and we're respected in the pack." Luna explains with a shrug.

She never understood Soliel when they were younger. Considering she was only 8 when she was thrown it, she suspects there wasn't a lot she understood back than.

he gave a nod, they continued to have conversations, time past and Aeolus hadn't shown up Vasteel was begining to worry. he got up and started towards the coliseum

"i need to check on Aeolus"
he said his voice worried

Vasteel went into the coliseum and soon saw two cats, Soliel, and another cat, the two were talking and there was something Soliel was holding, it was Aeolus!

he listened in on the cats conversatoin
"what should we do with him?" the one cat said

Soliel messed around with him, threw him in the air and other stuff
"i don't know...seems to have strayed from it's master...maybe we should kill it?"

the cat gave a snicker
"oh-hoho, that sounds like fun!"

Vasteel's eye's widend, he went to reach for his sword but a rock fell and Soliel looked in the direction to see Vasteel

"i thought i told you not to come in here!"
he was spotted, he had no choice but to speak

he got up and yelled down to them
"Let him go, he is my pet!"

Soliel looked at him
"then what's your pet doing down here?!"

he replied
"i lost track of him, i wasn't sure where he was, glad to see he was down here!"

Soliel wasn't like the lion's acting, she was getting annoyed
"well since YOU just so happend to not listen...i'm gonna have to challenge you right now!"

Luna had just come walking in when she heard Soliel challenge Vasteel

When Vasteel comments Aeolus hasn't yet come back, Blues gives a muffled worried chrip, moving around a bit in the bag.

"We'll find him Blues, don't worry." She murmurs, knowing the little pet has gotten attached to the flying pet.

Luna follows quietly after Vasteel and her ears lay back to the challenge Soliel gives to Vasteel.

"If you take it...Be careful...She fights dirty..." Luna growls quietly, her eyes narrowed on Soliel and Aeolus.

When Soliel turns her back a bit, Luna leaps down and tackles the cat, surprising her in letting Aeolus go. Luna hisses, struggling aganist Soliel as both cats growl. The guard that was with Soliel, grabs Luna and throws her off and to the fllor. Luna lays still for a few moments, gasping for air from being thrown to the floor and Soliel gets up, glaring at Luna.

"Who are you?!" She demands, getting up and coming closer to Luna.

Luna struggles as Soliel grabs her cloak, intending to take it off to see who she is.

Vasteel jumps down and swings his sword, Soliel quickly pulls her hand away,

she gave a huff
"so you want to start this challenge now eh?"
she gave a smirk and told to the other cat
"go gather a crowd...battles in the coliseum are more better when there's a crowd going about"

Vasteel helped luna up and handed Aeolus to her
"take him out of here, i don't want to risk him being harmed"

Luna nodded and she took off holding Aeolus,
Soliel gives another huff "tell me...who is that person whom you spoke with"

Vasteel looked at her,
"tell me...how long has it been since you last met your sister"
he said his voice sounded rather clam and somewhat sinister somehow

Soliel gave a laugh
"So...my sister has come back here eh?, i thought she had learned not to come back here, no matter i'll make sure to dispose of her this time once i'm done with you!"

by this time cats were begining to gather around the rim of the hole, all yelling and cheering Soliel, Luna was amongst the crowd, she was still wearing the robe and everything

both Vasteel and Soliel looked about, then she looked back at him
"If i win, then you leave with your head missing"

Vasteel looked back at her
"and if win...then you will clear your sister of all you've charged her of"

Soliel gave a huff, something that Vasteel noticed alot when he mentioned Luna
she gave a dis-contempted look
"fine, if you win then i will clear my sister of her charges"

a even bigger crowd had gathered by this time, the coliseum was packed, Luna had to practically sit just to prevent herself from being upshed by the crowds

Soliel had no choice but to comlpy, she was bleeding even more and if she wasn't tended to she'd die of blood loss, the cats helped her out of the coliseum

despite all they had done Vasteel wasn't responding, Luna was afraid and feared the worse, she placed her hand on his throat and felt for a pulse, she could feel it...but it was kinda faint, she let out a sigh of relife knowing that he was still alive, she picked him up and walked off with him in her arms out of the mini-fort

within Vasteel's mind he saw a dream, he was standing in Mega and everything was ablaze, buildings and tents were on fire all burning, he looked around and saw bodies laying around all of them were dead he then saw a outline of someone standing infront of the Statue that's in the middle of mega, he slowly approached the outline and was about to speak when the figure turned around...it was him!

his eye's widend and he stepped back slowly, the other him just looked at him with cold and emotionless eyes and suddenly jumped on him clawing at him, Vasteel tried to push the other him off but he couldn't and the claws began coming down on him, blow after blow he couldn't take it and suddenly woke up screaming when the other him lunged a sword into his heart

he awoke screaming and started sweating, he was breathing heavily his heart pounding fast, he looked around unsure of where he was, that was when luna came running in

In her roaming through the town, looking for a place to stay, an elderly cat comes out to her and Luna instantly reconizges her as her old teacher, the one who always seemed to know what Luna was truly destined for when she started manifesting her abilities. The elderly cat takes both of them in, tending to thier wounds, and despite her instantence to rest, Luna refuses.

"I can't...He's been hurt so much..." Luna whispers quietly, her exhaustion evident by her limp tail and drooped ears.

"Lunarea..."

Luna's ears perk to the use of her real name, something she's rarely heard since she prefers Luna over Lunarea and it causes her to look up into compasionate and wise violet eyes.

"Lunarea...What do you feel for this lion?" She asks and Luna blushes faintly, looking down.

"In the five years I've been gone...He is the only one to show any postieve emotion towards me...I stood out on the island because I didn't like wearing accesrioes in town, it bogged me down. And I was met with hostility and more hatred. But I kept Blues with me..."

The penguin has curled up in the elderly cat's lap, chriping contently as she's petted.

"Than one day I went to Paradise, just to be away from the crowds and he saw me sitting in the shop...He gave me a bag of galder...For no reason. I don't know if it was compassion or pity that made him do it but it drew me to him...I care for him...Deeply...Like I told Soliel, if he kills me in his rage I would welcome it...For I don't fear him." Luna says, her voice quiet but steady fast and she keeps the elderly cat's gaze the entire time she speaks.

It's right after this she hears Vasteel screaming. She's quick to scramble up and hurry into the room he was previously resting in and getting down next to him.

"Your safe! Your okay!" She hurriedly explains, trying to calm his panic as the elderly cat stands in the doorway with Blues in her arms.

"Your at my old teacher's place. She was kind enough to take us in when she saw me wandering." She adds, her voice just as hurried until she sees Vasteel starting to calm.

Vasteel's eyes were still wide when he saw Luna.

he was stutering abit
"no...no...no...no!!!"

it took awhile for him to calm down, he had managed to gain his oreintation and his mind back in order, though is mind was still reeling in the direction of that horrid dream he had

he got up nearly falling to the ground but managed to catch himself he supported himself back up he took a look at Luna and was glad to see that she was okay he held her in his arms for awhile and simply said to her
"i'm...i'm glad that your okay!" he looked at her for alittle before relizing that he hadn't introduced the other lady and thanked her for helping him he walked over to where the cat was and he brought his hand up
"uh..hi, i'm Vasteel nice to meet you"

Luna tries her best to keep him calm, meeping a bit when he grabs and holds onto her. She's tense in surprise to the action but is quick to relax, nuzzling into him a bit. It's in the few moments of inattetion as he holds her that she falls asleep, her exhaustion taking over quickly now that he's safe. When Vasteel gently lays Luna down and gets up, the elderly cat shooes him back down so he doesn't injury himself more.

"My name is Aurora, named after the Goddess of Dawn in anicent myth. I'm the one who gave Blues to Luna." She says with a soft smile and the penguin chrips, flapping her fins.

Vasteel gave a small smile when she shooed him back down
"don't worry, i've been through worser conditions after taking a beating"

as he got up he gave a look to her
"i have to thank you...my body has been weak ever since that bizzare occurance in the coliseum"

he looked around and examined afew books here and there some detailing about the Alteo, which he almost immediatly frowned upon and placed the book back, he looked at some more books. most which detailed beliefs as to how the tricksters came to exist, the secrets of the sacred Harkon jewels, most of which he had read in his younger years.

Aeolus seemed to be almost interested into the books like his master, as Vasteel looked about some of the books there was one that had caught his attention...it was a book on the Vastians!

he was quick to swipe and it began to read it flipping slowly past the pages of his ancient ancestor's past.

Aurora lets Blues down who waddles her way over to Vasteel after he sits down and climbs up into his lap, chriping in greeting as she blocks him from reading for a moment to assest him herself, looking him over as she chrips. Luna, a very light sleeper now, moves her head a bit and wearily opens her eyes, blinking a few times.

"What...?" She murmurs, still mostly asleep as Blues chrips.

he put the book down on the table still opened to the page he was on and gave Blues a pat on the head
"i'm alright to don't worry Blues"
he said in a calm tone, he had a uneasy feeling and suddenly reached into both of his pockets and felt for something, then he felt around his neck and felt the necklace, a sigh of relief came out knowing the necklace was still on him...he couldn't afford to lose it...could that dream he had been a sign of what could happen if the beserk took him over completly?

Blues chrips happily, nuzzling Vasteel's hand, even giving him an affectionate n** before she hops down and moves over to Luna, chriping at her to sleep. Luna blinks wearily at them before she curls up a bit and drifts back off. Blues chrips in satsifcation, happy everything seems alright now and waddles over to Aeolous, chriping at him in greeting.

he looked at Blues as she walked over to Aeolus and chuckled, he then picked up the book and continued to flip through the pages hoping to learn more about his ancestor's past and find out if there was a meaning to these necklaces which held back the "spirits" that his people had believed in so long ago before they were driven out by the Alteo.

it was as if time was motionless...flipping through the pages, reading information that he had already known when his father spoke to him about it...how the Vastians were the first to create the first model guns that were commonly seen in the shops...how his people had believed in "spirits" that had thier own free-will...how some of those spirits had destructive lives and could influence one's mind without proper protection...in his ancestor's case...the necklace was the only protection against the spirit taking over them completly...

despite reading through the book...he was unable to learn anything new about his ancestor past...he let out a sigh, his hopes were shot down, the book was pointless to read...

he got up and looked out the window and said to Aurora
"tell me...how long have you been studying my ancestor's past...?"

During the time that Vasteel has been reading, Aurora has been coming and going, checking up on the two of them often. After playing a bit with Aeolous, Blues has taken to following her, waiting for Luna to wake up. When Vasteel asks his question, the elderly cat stops for a moment before looking up at him.

"Since before Luna was kicked out of the pack...It seems I'm the only one in this pack that's still open minded, other than Luna anyway. I never believed the old legends of your anscetors and I was going to prove you weren't the "demons" they claimed." Aurora answers, her tail twitching a little bit.

Luna twitches in her sleep, curling up tighter as her tail twitches and Aurora frowns with worry, knowing she's probably suffering her own nightmares after getting attacked by her sister again.

"yes.."
he said in a calm tone

"the alteo's had feared that the spirits my people were keeping sealed away by the necklaces...they were afraid that the power would be let loose upon the island and in turn destroy it...they feared my people for a stupid reason...but there were some...some who had seen a being...a being whose body was completly engulfed in light...but thier wings were jagged...and blood dripped from them...those who saw them were destined to survive even after being chased from the island...my people had called them sentinels..."

he could remeber it clearly like his father had told him when he was young. "those who saw the sentinels would know that one day would come that it would take over their body and do what they believed was right...but mine...mine had different thoughts...it wanted to....kill...there's somethings i don't understand about them..."

he gave out a sigh and looked at Luna, her face seemed to be rather pale, and there was some sweat forming on her head...he started to worry about her

"Let them believe what they wish...The cats of this pack have become brutal and selfish. Though the circumstances should have been a lot better, I'm glad Luna wasn't here for it...She got a chance to see the world, even if her sense of it was warped for the injustice done to her..." Aurora speaks with a cold tone in her voice, her opinion about her own kind very clear.

"If Luna trusts you, than so do I." Aurora says, looking him square in the eye and her voice much calmer before she gazes at Luna as well.

"It is very possible your...sentinel was it?, wanted to kill because of the danger you were still in." She offers in explaination before gently moving her paw over Luna's cheek and forehead.

"I think her stress has caused her to get sick..." Aurora murmurs with worry as Luna moans quietly in pain, rubbing her head into the pillow under her.

"i see"
he said his tone still in the same mood it had been when he first started talking about his ancestor's past. well at least what he was able to recall from what his father used to tell him

"despite what my people believed with the sentinels...i fear that me and my sister are the sole surviving Vastians left in this world"

he walked over to Luna when Aurora had mentioned that Luna's stress was most likely making her sick

things had taken quite a turn, what was supposed to be one of his typical days in ghost blue turned into this, he didn't know if things had gotten interesting or worse, or maybe inbetween

he placed his hand on her forehead and could feel her head burning up, he felt sorry for her...her pack being this cruel and all that's happend to her, suddenly he saw something flash

his eyes widend
"what the?"

another picture flashed into his mind, he could hear sounds and more pictures flashed into his head, he quickly pulled away his hand from her head and the pictures stopped flashing, and the sound died off...something was strange now, he placed his hand back on her head, and the pictures began to flash into his mind again...he could see a wide-open beach, there was no one around and the only sound he could hear was the sound of the ocean breeze...could he have somehow...?

could his people have had the ability to see into other's dreams?

Aurora gently messes with Luna's blue hair as she twitches in her sleep again.

"Like I said, let the pack believe what they wish. I've been wishing to leave myself but I'm too old to travel this island. I honestly believe this pack will end up killing itself one day..." She mutters angrily, before quieting, tilting her head slightly to Vasteel.

Within Luna's dream, he sees her sitting on the beach, watching the water as Blues plays in it. She's a lot younger and her hair now down to her back instead of just her shoulders. Blues suddenly waddles out of the water and stands in front of Luna defensively as the cat turns.

"Hello Soliel..." Luna greets quietly, averting her eyes.

"Come fight with me Luna." Soliel offers.

Luna accepts, thinking nothing off with it since like she told Vasteel, fights were common. Blues however, knows something is wrong. As she watches the two tussel and fight, showing thier strength without the use of thier abilties. It's obvious Luna, though younger, is better at hand to hand combat than her sister who resorts to trickery. Pushing her back, before she can recover, Soliel kicks out at her. Blues chrips in shock as Luna collapses to her knees, gasping harshly and struggling to breathe, holding her thoart. Soliel smirks evilily at her struggling sister and gets down near her, whispering into her perked ear.

"It's meant to be mine...And now it will be..."

Luna gives a pained gasp, coughing as she looks up at Soliel, her eyes stinging with the ultimate betrayal.

"Why...?" She gasps.

"You took what's rightfully mine...Now you will suffer..." Soliel says sadstically before running off.

Luna coughs, bowing her head as Blues hurries off, rubbing her flippers over her head in worry as Luna fights to regain her breath.

Vasteel closed his eyes and he could see the pictures flashing into his mind again, he suddenly saw a picture...he saw someone...he couldn't make it out

"Aurora"
Vasteel said his tone rather calm. Aurora looked at him
"i'll be right back...i'm going inside her mind"

Aurora had no idea what Vasteel was talking about, but suddenly Vasteel could feel the world around him going dark, he closed his eyes and he came to see himself on the sandy beach. he looked around and saw Luna on the ground coughing he ran up to her and helped her up

"what happend Luna?"
he said his voice holding a tone of worry

There's a dark mark on Luna's thoart when Vasteel helps her up but she hasn't fully regained her breathe, her breathing rapid and shallow.

"She...betrayed me..." Luna gasps, sounding like she's trying to fight off crying.

Blues chrips loudly in worry, rubbing her flippers over Luna's knees as she watches the two of them, neither one put off by his sudden appearance.

he had his hands on her shoulders, waiting to make sure she would be okay. that was when he noticed the dark mark on her throat.
"what the...?" he looked at it, afraid of touching it that he might somehow harm Luna in the real-world

he felt his side for his sword in hopes that he could defend her, but he noticed...there was no sword hoisted to his side!

"She kicked me..." Luna sniffles and lowers her head a little bit, her ears laying back.

She slowly stands to her feet, looking towards the village.

"Soliel's up to something..." She mutters in anger but he can tell she's not fully recovered since her breathing is still bad.

Blues chrips, trying to pull her back since she knows something's wrong as well. As Luna stumbles away, Vasteel is starting to quickly realize being back in her pack's terroitory has reawakened the memories she tried so hard to fight of being kicked out. And now he's watching it as it plays out right in front of him

it almost seemed like he wasn't even there...like a ghost...almost like someone watching a video of someone's past...only this time being there to witness everything

it almost seemed strange, he went to place his hand on her shoulder again, only this time his hand went right through her!

"woah!"
he yelled pulling his hand back quickly and holding it, his eyes twitched slightly, that was a strange sight to see, very strange indeed

with no means of being known that he was there for her to see, or the fact that no one could see him. he decided to take off in Luna's direction, in hopes of finding out what had truly happend to her back then.

Luna roams through the village, her ears laid back a bit. Where the colisuem is now, is just open fields back than. She stops near her home where she lives with Soliel, though she's outside most of the time because of the sudden hostility towards her. As she goes to open the door, she yelps as she's suddenly grabbed by her hair and pulled back.

"This is who I speak of!" Soliel exclaims, Luna easily picking up her darkened voice.

Luna is thrown to the ground in front of a crowd and looks up, her ears laid back as she sees two cats of high ranking in front of her. One a female, and one, surprisingly, a male. Male cats were rare, since the female cats usually got together with the lions, the blood running strongly through the veins of every cat in the village. Soliel and Luna, as well as thier different hair, were one of the few purebred cats left.

"Is this true Lunarea?" The male asks and Luna looks confused.

"Is what true?" She asks, her just a whisper thanks to the hit Soliel dealt her.

"That you can't sing."

"What?!" Luna demands, ignoring the fact she's talking to the highest authorative, the alphas, of her pack.

Luna growls quietly and stands to her feet, turning to glare at Soliel.

"Of course I can sing! My voice is as fair as hers!" Luna hisses, glaring at Soliel's superior smirk.

"Prove it." The male speaks and Luna falters.

She didn't think she could at the moment. Her thoart was raw and her breathing was still bad but she tries it anyway, not knowing the consquences of what she's about to do. She closes her eyes and draws a deep breathe, opening her mouth to start singing. When nothing comes out, she gasps and grabs at her thoart, her eyes wide.

"No..."

"I told you! She could never sing! She's been lying to us for 3 years now!" Soliel excliams to the crowd and Luna snarls quietly at her.

"That's a lie! I used to practice with you when we started singing!"

"You lie!" Soliel hisses.

Luna sneers at her and pounces her. Without warning, another scuffle breaks out, but beaten as she is, Luna is easily overpowered and thrown to the floor as the alphas call a stop to the fight. Luna's back is badly slashed open, showing where she got the scars on her back that she still carries to this day.

"In light of recent events, for lying to us Lunarea, you will be banished."

"I didn't do anything! Soliel is the liar!" Luna tries to protest, struggling as she's grabbed up and dragged to the gate.

Blues chrips, worrying for her as she's thrown outside of the gate.

"Should you ever step foot on this land again, you will die." The alpha male says coldly before shutting the gate on her.

Luna slowly pushes herself up, blood dripping from her back before she slowly stands up and heads off a bit into the forest. Taking a dagger that she was carrying with her but refused to use on her own kind, slashes her hair cutting the strangs. Leaving no time for her back to heal, she knew it would get in the way so lets the strands fall to the ground, her hair now in the slight spiky shoulder length it is now. Her emotional breakdown won't come for another month, after her back is healed and she actually does attempt to return to her home.

Vasteel watched as the events unfolded about him on Luna's past, he was astonished when he saw a male cat...though the thought of seeing was kinda disturbed him...though this one...there was something strange about this man...

he walked into the feild and examined him to see if he had known the person, and that was when he saw it...a necklace!

his eye's widend in shock
"no....no that can't....that can't be!"
he took several steps backward passing through the people
