IC.

Colorful green leaves whirled around in gusts of warm wind, the spring breeze carrying along with them a hint of summer. Fluffy white clouds floated in the sky above and under the shining sun. The forest was alive with sounds and smells. The sounds of birds and insects could be heard for yards. The smell of plants and dirt and sweet flowers floated through the air and the forest seemed relaxed and calm.

The sound of the forest being alive calmed Alex Blackwell as he walked through small bushes and low to the ground plants. He ran a hand through his pitch black hair and his eyes that were a mix of coal black and ice blue skimmed the sky and he smiled softly and then was suddenly grabbed by the back of his shirt and thrown to the closest tree. He blinked and saw past the stars that clouded his vision and saw a young soldier. The young soldier had brown hair and blue eyes and an evil smirk was spread across his face. He looked down and the soldier had the tip of a blade touching his ribs. The soldier ran a finger over Alex’s spiked collar on his neck and then laughed.

“Don’t you dare shapeshift you vile +anima…” Alex groaned and then bit his lip when the soldier pressed the blade deeper into his chest and then laughed. “You disgusting vile being…I was following you…” Alex wiggled in the grasp of the soldier and then cried out in pain when he was smashed against the tree again. “Why are you doing this..?!” Alex groaned and then looked back at the soldier who was glaring at him with hate and disgust. “You’re a filthy +anima scum!” Alex groaned in anger and glared back at the soldier. “You have no proof you damn soldi-“

He was cut off when he was hit across the face with the butt of the blade. He doubled over and then was pulled back up by the back of his shirt. He dug his nails into his palm and his hands began to bleed. He held back the anger that wanted to boil to the surface and then kicked the soldier square in the gut and made a run for it deep into the forest.

He heard the soldier shout and then run after him and Alex shifted and he sprouted two fuzzy red and white red panda ears on the top of his head and a bushy long red tail that was striped with different colors of red orange and white and had a tip of black on the end. His fingernails morphed and turned into long black claws and his teeth grew and became fangs. His ice blue eyes changed and his pupils turned into slits and he panicked and the soldier pulled out a gun and was shooting at him.

He was almost nailed by a bullet and was freaking out and running past bushes and animals and trees. His mind was blank and survival was the only thing that he could think of.

Adam sat on a tree branch, his trademark grin spread across his face. He swung his leg back and forth and began laughing to himself, falling backwards and dropping out of the tree. He catched himself skillyfully on the bottom branch and dropped to saftey. Ah this has been a good day so... he thought. He was then interrupted by a red and black blur passing by him, followed by a few bullets. "Hm, sounds interesting already" Dim said, laughing. A soldier came up to aiming his gun toward Adam. "I found another one!" he shouted, taking aim with the gun. Dim pulled his quaterstaff off his back and swung it hard into the soldier's kneecap, breaking it with a loud 'CRACK!'. The soldier doubled over in pain, gripping his knee. Dim, brought his foot to the man's head, knocking him onto the ground. He brought his staff up into the air and brought it down onto the soldier's head, knocking the man unconscious. It was only thing he didn't like about his staff, it wasn't to lethal. He then brought his heel onto the unconscious soldier's forehead. He heard a shattering noise and laughed. "Oh, I love that noise!" he shouted, another soldier coming up to him. He began growing a wing on his right shoulder blade, and then another ontop of his other shoulder. He felt his nails grow longer and sarp, turning into talon. He waved to the shoulder and began flying upward int othe branches, being followed by bullets. he reached the top of the tree and relaxed a bit, unfolding his wings completely and started flying over the tree tops, coasting carefully into the slowly branches. He spotted the red blur he had seen before, an +anima, like him. He grinned and followed it, refraining from laughing.

Akishi was lying down by the base of a tree sleeping when the gunshots woke him up, his ears twitched and he ran twoards the noise, in a few minutes he saw the corpse of a soldier with severe pain on his face. Akishi leaned down and examined the body, he wasn't dead just unconcious and it appeared his right leg was broken in two places. He heard another soldier shouting through the woods and he unsheathed his katana and ran twoards the noise.

The soldier was not far from him and Akishi could see him perfectly, he crept up behind him and grabbed his shoulder and swiftly saught the sowrd through his kidneys. The sound of the blood groove on his blade made a sucking sound as he pulled it out and sheathed it yet again. He somehow felt no remorse for the soldier he just killed, because he felt somewhat..blank. He looked twoards the woods and saw what the soldier was after, it looked like a person but it had animal like features, [i] could there be someone other than me[i] he thought to himself. He grew his tail and his teeth became longer, his nails became pointed and sharp, and his ears sprouted on top of his head, he ran with incredible speed twoards what he had just saw, [i] Whatever it was maybe he could help me explain what happened to me.[i] he thought to himself.

“Another wonderful day..”

Indeed so. It certainly was a great day. The sky was an azure blue as white fluffy clouds bounced throughout the sky. It was peaceful, but the girl knew that this wasn't going to last forever. Those humans would be destroying the peace once more, but, she was in this new territory. Who knew that she was a +Anima? No one did, and no one would. She would keep it so that she could sneak around unnoticed, she hates being acknowledged. Anyways, who said she didn't have her freedom?

Chance sighed, sitting in a tree within a forest. She just came to this place and decided to take a break, and then head out to a nearby village. She needed to get more items, she was running out on the food too. She would probably sell the fur skin she found somewhere, or maybe just steal something. So many choices, but she guessed she should just get rid of the heavy load first. If she needed to be quick and fast, she needed to be as light as a feather. Her ice blue eyes scanned the area, looking if there were any other animals or people around her. She had perfect sight, so it wasn't a problem since sometimes she couldn't smell the scent from distances.

The leaves of the trees covered her. She could see someone, but no one could see her. She didn't know why, but she liked small places where she could fit. She felt safe for some reason. She smiled to herself, seeing a bird fly by. She paused for a moment. That bird seemed a little too big, and didn't seem to be covered fully by feathers. She narrowed her eyes, wondering what it was. Could it be another +Anima? A rush of wind flew by her as the branches shook violently. She covered her nose, smelling two strong scents and one faint scent. Blood, Axe Spray, and Wood mixed with soap. Such odd scents, she never smelled anything like that before, but she knew the scent of blood.

The blood smelled like a Human's, so she highly doubted it was some kind of prey. Someone must have killed a person, but she wondered why. She didn't bother lingering on that subject for long, it didn't concern her. Right now, she focused her attention on the two odd scents. She got up, jumping from tree tree silently as she fallowed the red blur. It also seemed like a +Anima, maybe one of them killed the human. The sounds of bullets entered her sensitive ears as she wondered. There was another scent around her, but she didn't know what it was. She was too far away to take notice, but it seemed to be by the human.

Kat laughed as he ran from the old store vendor, carrying a few loaves of sweet bread he had managed to grab he was ripping of another costumer, selling them stale bread again. He was suprised that the man was still unable to watch his goods after 3 years of being robbed like this. Kat kept laughing as he jumped through and over stalls, taking various turns throughout the city before making his way to one of the main gates, the gaurds jumping to attention as they saw him being chased again, and tried to stand in his way, though Kat merely dropped to the ground, letting his momentum allow him to slide under the gaurds. Seriously, what are they paid for. he thought as he continued to run, goig on adrenaline and exhiliration, going through the forest, laughing as he went. He soon came to a stop, or rather was forced to a stop, getting slammed in the stomach by some sort of red blur, falling to the ground with a crash. He looked up getting ready to tell off who had ever run into him, before spotting the ears atop his head and his tail, "Oy mate, whats your hurry," he said, glad to have found another like him, though still a little peeved about being hit, when he heard the soldiers crashing through the under brush. "Neva mind, I can take a geuss as to why." he said pullng the boy up by one of his ears, "Follow me, I gotta place near here were we can lose than, Aye" he told the boy, starting to head into the woods, wonderig if the boy would follow him. If he did, Kat had a slew of questions he wanted to ask him.

Akishi was running through the forest looking intently on the red blur and then it stopped, some guy had run into the other and he realized he better hide. Akishi hid behind a tree and watched the two of them and it came to him that they weren't a threat and he walked up behind the boy and said nothing but just looked at them with confusion. He spoke up and said coldly "Who are you two..and....what are you?" He looked at the "red blurr" that he had been following and saw he was a guy about his age by the looks of it.

(I was just about to do something really epic and create sudden drama but then I was like naw I’ll wait until later on…)

Alex could hear the cracks that came from behind him. He continued to run and the bullets nearly hit him over and over again. He growled and then ducked down low and was running on all fours. He was panting for breath and his heart was racing. He saw a bird flying above him and he squinted and then saw it was bigger than any bird he ever saw.

“A…+anima?!” He gasped for breath and then continued to run on all fours and dodged a bullet that almost nailed him in the leg. He heard someone running after him and his panic rose. He turned around and saw it was a +anima and that it was running at incredible speeds towards him. He panicked and then turned back around and was running past a tree.

He cried out in surprise when he crashed against something and then gasped, out of breath and saw a boy holding some bread. He blinked into confusion and then wined when he was pulled up by one of his furry ears.

“Owww!!” He wined and then blushed and bowed a little. “Sorry for smashing into you but…don’t you care that I’m a +anima..?” He looked at the boy with confusion and then saw the soldier and ran after the boy.

“Hey…the name is Alex…what’s yours?” He turned around when he heard another voice and saw a...very attractive boy...around his age. He blushed slighty and then hid his face with his hair and looked at the ground.

"I'm Alex...a red panda +anima..." He mumbled and then looked back at the guy and stared at the white ears on his head and the white tail that was behind him. "I'm guessing your some sort of dog +anima?"

Kat looked back at the new arrival, "Name's Kat, short for...Katherine," He said grimacing slightly,before contiuning on, hoping they wouldn't a big deal out of it, "and as for worrying about you being +anima, don't worry 'bout it." he said concentrating slightly, before a tail sprouted out from behind him, orange with a white tip,his pants becoming mor filled out, though most of it was fur. underneath his leg bracers, his fet had turned vulpine in form, "I'd show you the rest, but it's not in places available to the generalpublic," he said chuckling.

"So you've got our names how bout your's, or shall we call you swordsman for the remainder of our time together." he said, grinning as he bent down, picking up the loaves he had dropped when he ran into Alex.

She fallowed the boy silently, now clearly seeing who and what he was. Indeed he was another +Anima, and judging by his ears and tail, she guessed he was a Red Panda. She stopped for a moment, hiding behind a bush as her white hair sort of stood out. She cursed herself, but couldn't do anything about. Anyways, she liked white, it reminded her of snow that she missed so dearly. She shook her head, this wasn't the time to be thinking about the most random things. She looked at the other person, taking note of the cinnamon scent he had and the ears and tail. She knew that he wasn't a human from the beginning just by his scent, it was much too strong to be ignored. She was glad she had a sensitive nose, for now anyways.

She averted her gaze to another person. They just keep coming don't they? She raised an eyebrow at his ears and tail, smelling a rich pine as she wondered if he was also and Arctic Fox. It would be quite awkward, but she didn't think about it. At the least, she found other +Anima's, like her. She wondered what in the world they were doing introducing themselves when there were soldiers out looking for them. She sighed, people these days. She dared not come out from her hiding spot, fearing that she would be known too. Hopefully, the woods covered her scent, it would be bad if someone noticed her scent. But then again, that new comer saved her butt, he had the same scent as her so the boys shouldn't be able to distinguish her.

She shifted in her position lightly, but made a mistake. She stepped on a twig, and it cracked under her pressure as it made a pretty loud noise for a small twig. She held in a groan, hoping that no one noticed that small sound. Well, it wasn't like she would be in trouble or anything, but she just didn't like interactions much. She only spoke when needed, or when she wanted to.

Adam laughed hysterically as he landed near the three +animas. He looked back and spotted a soldier coming toward them. He dropped from the tree and landed in front of him. He was taken aback in shock, stepping back in fear. Dim continued to giggle under his breath and looked up, stopping his laughter. "I'm sorry, but I enjoy killing you sorry excuses for soldiers" he said, stepping forward. He lunged forward and stabbed the soldier in the stomach with his talons, blood trickling out the wounds. Dim lifted the wing on his left shoulder above the man and grinned. Several feathers were shot from the wing and dug themselves into the man. He barely let out a cry of pain, just fell over. Adam smiled and lifted himself into the air again, landing on another branch. He heard a cracking noise and looked at bush and spotted a girl with white hair. He leapt out of the tree and landed next to her. "Boo" he said quitely in her ear.

Akishi looked at Alex and saw that he turned away from him, even when he turned away Akishi could still see the blush, he blushed slightly but not to where anyone could notice it without examining him closely. He looked attractive for an anima. Akishi turned to Katherine and gave him a blank expression. He helped Alex up and turned to Katherine "What happened to you? ...my name is Akishi." [i] Swordsman?[i] he thought to himself.

Akishi heard a twig snap and unsheathed his blade quitely and turned around and saw two other anima, one had the features of a raven and the other was another arctic fox [i] I-Is she another...fox?[i] Akishi turned back to Alex and somehow he felt obligated to protect him and Katherine.

Not to far from them in a quiet part of the woods a rabbit emerged. Twitching it's nose it searched for any predators before continuing on searching for food the damp leaves barely leaving a trail, but Greyn didn't need one. "Sorry" Greyn said, upwind of it he aimed carefully with his shortbow and fired, a whirring noise and the rabbit jump and fell dead, an arrow in it's chest. He sighed and and whispered a small prayer before retrieving his kill. Carefully pulling the arrow out, The wanderer began to make his journey back to his camp.

Already there was a small fire burning a small creek gurgling merrily beside it, He fed it with small sticks until he had a healthy blaze then began skinning it making sure to dump the insides somewhere away from his camp. He stuck the rabbit on a sharpened stake and left it near the fire to roast while he went back to fixing up his arrow. After an hour he turned back and tore into it washing it down with creek water. When he finished he reached into his pouch and grabbed hold of several mint leaves, rolling them into a small ball and tossing it inside his mouth. slowly he laid back, the bittersweet taste of mints spreading as he relaxed Maybe i'll stay here for tonight and leave for the morning he thought

[OOC] I gotta go you guys.[OOC]

[ooc] aw man D: alright T_T [ooc]

Alex nodded when the guy said his name was Kat and then raised an eyebrow when he grimaced slightly. He ignored it and then watched as a tail sprouted out from behind him and Alex looked at the tail and then Kat.

“So you’re a +anima too…interesting…” He mumbled and then blushed when the attractive boy named Akishi helped him up. He nodded over to Akishi and then mumbled thanks and then jumped when he heard a twig snap and a flame flickered around him. He sighed and then took control of the fire and made it vanished when he saw that it was just two +anima.

He studied the female arctic fox and the male raven and then blinked when he saw Akishi turn back to them and had a look that seemed like he wanted to protect them. His mixed coal black and ice blue eyes were filled with confusion and his pitch black hair swayed in the wind. His hands were still dripping blood but he ignored it and looked over at the two +anima, curiosity filled his eyes and then he lost feeling in his hands.

He looked down at them and saw that they were bleeding really badly and he sighed sharply and looked over a Kat and raised an eyebrow. “Hey Kat do you have anything that I can bandage my hands up with?” His vision started to blur and he mumbled a colorful curse word and fell onto his knees. His face was pale and he looked a little sick. He got squeamish at the sight of his blood sometimes…but it was rare…

She watched as the raven like +Anima came down, landing by the other's but quickly focusing his attention on the soldier. She watched him kill the man brutally, but didn't wince or look away. She was pretty used to it, always seeing something like this happen in her Tribe. Either a killing of a polar bear, or the extermination of a traitor, it was all the same to her. She knew though, that what he did was a little good. At the least now, they were all safe. Unless of course the man had backup, or maybe he was the backup.

She was so focused on her thoughts that she didn't notice the raven sneak up on her. She stiffened, freezing as she dared not to move. Quickly though, she jumped away, landing by the clearing as she changed into her +Anima form. Two fluffy white fox ears sat atop her head as a bushy fox tail came out from behind her. Her pupils changed to slits as her front teeth grew sharper and slightly longer, her nails slowly growing sharp too. There was no use now that her place was revealed, and all because of that stupid stick. Sometimes, she wished she was back in the Arctic. There were no obstacles there, and she blended in just like the snow. She was still getting used to the whole trees and bushes thing.

Dim laughed at the girl, stepping out of the bush shaking his wings. "Ooh, aren't we the jumpy bunch" he said, grinning eagerly at them. He retracted his wings and talons and stuffed his hands into his pockets. he looekd over the four of them. He sighed and stepped closer. "Well, I'll say this, it's good to meet all of you" he said, his body shaking with excitement. He was going to have fun with this little gorup wasn't he. He looekd at the arctic fox girl, and grinned wider, walking up to her. He looked at her with a smile. "And aren't you the cute one" he said, his squinty eyes opening slightly, but clsoing back up soon.

Haseo was enjoying his quiet stroll through the forest, trying to get away from the busy life style of the nearby towns and do some self-reflecting. Well he tried to until the harsh sound of gun shots firing caused him to jump and quickly take cover behind a tree. The sound continued to ring for a few more moments until it suddenly stopped. Haseo waited for a few more minutes just to be safe until he left he cover of his tree and made his way to where he thught he heard the gunshots last. Why this'll be a great way to pass the time. He thought as a smirk made its way onto his face and his pace unknowingly quickened. As Haseo made his way to the edge of the forest he noticed a group of people not too far off appearntly discussing something.Are they +Anima ...? Haseo asked himslef as he thought he saw some animal features on some of them. It was only after that he noticed the bloody broken body of a soldier discarded a little ways away from the group. Don't tell me... Haseo's thoughts were soon confirmed when he smelled the scent of blood on the raven +Anima's talons and sighed. It's not like the general public hates us enough but now they have a good reason to hunt us now. Not really knowing what to do, Haseo made his way deeper into the forests and took out his violin which he was carrying and started to play a sweet melody, trying to ease his mind of what he had just learned.

Akishi studied the raven like anima, [i] Better not trust him just yet even if he is an... anima.[i] Akishi's teeth and claws retracted while his ears slowly retracted themselves into his head. Akishi turned to Alex and threw him his jacket "Wipe the blood off from your hands, if it comes to a fight we will need you unharmed." Then he turned to the raven anima "What are you and what am I? I have known about these powers for years but...I've never known there were others or that we had a name." He gave him a blank look.

Alex felt like he was going to faint or puke and then was shocked when a jacket was thrown to him. He looked up and saw that Akishi had given him his jacket and Alex nodded and then took the jacket and put pressure against the palms of his hands.

He slowly began to see normally again and then sighed and his two fuzzy red and white red panda ears on the top of his head disappeared and along with his bushy long red tail that was striped with different colours of red orange and white and had a tip of black on the end. His claws morphed back to his fingernails and his fangs morphed and became teeth again. His eyes turned back to normal and he slowly got up and looked over at the raven boy.

He looked at him and uneasiness filled his eyes. He did not trust this raven person, he seemed a little twisted. Of course he could not judge because he was worse when his sanity snapped. He took Akishi’s jacket off his hands and then wrapped the blood up inside it and passed it back to Akishi. “Thanks Akishi.” He smiled a little and his British accent made his words sound funny.

Akishi put his jacket back on, he didn't care about the blood. "Feel better?" he asked Alex. Akishi saw his animal like features fade and he heard him say "Thanks Akishi." this was the first time he noticed he had an accent and it sounded british.

He turned to the raven and waited for his answer on what Akishi had asked.
