Pavo Langren's Story

The subways always smell horrible. With all sorts of people jammed up against each other, each with their own smells and odors making riding on the subway was a terrible experience for Pavo. He held a slip of paper in his hands, telling him to meet at someplace called Oakwood Hollow. He asked about a million people before someone gave him directions. He knew there were at least two rival teams, but only one of them gave him a location to be. He let out a breath he had been holding so not to sniff in any more of the stench. The subway doors opened and Pavo walked out quickly, careful not to get his tail stuck in the door. Oakwood Hollow, Oakwood Hollow… he looked around himself at the towering trees. A wind picked up and the leaves and branches rustled loudly, and maybe… voices? He followed the low sound until he came to a clearing of sorts. “Hello?” he asked into what seemed to be an empty forest.

Auriel

Auriel sat in a tree now, still bored to death and waiting for some recruits to arrive. Suddenly, he heard some voices. The others in the trees above all turned their silent heads down to look at three people. One, who had brown hair and looked lost, and two others, that looked identical and different at the same time. He placed his mask on, and hopped down from where he was perched, landing infront of the boy. "Hello." He replied to the boy's earlier question. "Are you here for something..?" Auriel said, tilting his head to a side, his mask gleaming in the little streaks of sun that made their way through the trees. "Are you...seeking something?" He asked, tail swaying in amusement.

Auriel

The Seekers expression changed as she spoke so coldly about hating the humans. His tail flicked in impatience, and he looked at the twin who wished to join with a quizzical look as the other one shot away. "Well then. If you insist that you want to be a Seeker, then so be it. You will join us on our very next mission, there, you may watch what we do every week." He paused, wondering is she understood. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have anything to learn from. Me and my Liutenant-General are planning to go somewhere between now and... tomorrow." He looked up at the sun. It was almost the afternoon. "The Golden house is that-a-way," He said, pointing to the South. "That's pretty much where most of the Seekers stay if they already don't have a home. If you want to stay, just come by sometime." He explained, meaning to talk to the brown-haired boy aswell.

Kailasa

Hidden from all sides of Kailasa gasped, as she was run into by someone. Her ears twitched in annoyance and tilted her head at the girl. "Please, I want to be one of you. Please, I want to protect humans. I wish to become Hidden." It said, and The Hidden relaxed herself, and nodded. "Then you shall." She said warmly, examining the girl. "We're just going back to The Silver House, join us. If you already have a home otherwise, I not only say you're lucky, but also you can stay there instead if you wish." She said, and walked on, the rest of the Hidden who were with her relaxed as well, and continued walking.

Pavo

He remained silent as the two sisters talked to the man in front of him. So one side was against humans… and the other was protecting them? When one of the girls ran, Pavo hesitantly followed her though keeping his distance, hoping the man who jumped from the tree didn’t notice that he was missing. He watched from farther behind as the girl talked to another woman before stepping out when she began to walk away. “I think I’d like to be one of you as well.” He looked up at the group and scuffed his feet.

Raz

A wicked grin spread across her face, now covered by her mask. “Excellent.” She said to herself, then addressed the angry boy, “We welcome you Ezekiel, and all the hate you have for the humans.” She was too tired to introduce and explain things, leaving that for The Seeker. “Meet you all back at the home.” Raz called out behind her, and then began to head towards the house.

Auriel

Auriel watched Raz greet the boy, welcome him, and then walk off. "Do I always have to do everything?" He pouted, walking over to the boy. "Ezekiel, eh? Well, 'Zeek', wat we do here is completely against humans. I would love to see you come with us and...meet a few, but sadly, you may only watch. We're going tomorrow afternoon, you may come, but don't touch anything. The Golden house is over there," He paused, and pointed to where Raz was heading off to. " if you'd rather live there than the possible craphole you're in now, then go right ahead, we welcome you with open arms and other stuff like that..." He trailed off, and looked around. "Now, If you want to go to the house, get to know a few others, then follow Raziya over there." He said, and decided to stay incase any others showed up.

Kailasa

Kailasa was leading everyone home when she heard the tense, hushed voices behind her. She flicked her ears back so she could hear better.

"That girl just came back from the forest, I heard thats where the Seekers are meeting their new recruits! Could she be a Seeker spy?" One asked, a little too loudly.

"Quiet, and I doubt it. She looked like she was running from the place. Like everyone else who meets the Seekers." Another snorted.

“I think I’d like to be one of you as well.”

That was not a Hidden voice. She turned around, and saw a boy. She tilted her head and turned to look at him. "Good. We needed another one. I am The Hidden, the leader of.. well, the Hidden." She shrugged, and looked at the boy again. "Who are you, and why would you like to join us, to avoid that imbecil Auriel? Or because you want to protect the humans?" She asked, and she saw the looks on the other's faces. They were surprised, more so then when the other girl approached them. This guy was stealthy.

(And Okay, Thanks for letting me know ahead pf time, have a fun trip or whatever.)
