Five human-animal hybrid nations fight and deal with tension between them.

2,315 readers have visited Hibryde since placevalue created it.

Introduction

Concept/Plot
There are five main tribes of human animal hybrids. They are Rhino Beetles, Peacocks, Pronghorns, Herrings, and Crocs. The Rhino Beetles were weakened by a traveling band of Cicada-humans, and were able to be conquered by the Pronghorns. They sold the Rhino Beetles as slaves. They would have been able to save themselves if they had worked together, but they had been betrayed by their own kind by a group called the Dynastanae. They Dynastanae captured and sold the other Rhino Beetles.
The Herrings (also known as red herrings due to their red hair and diversion abilities) are a group of spies. They believe in balance, so send squadrons to spy for each nation on each nation. They are trained in stealth and use their knowledge to keep balance.
The Peacocks sell their feathers to make rich and expensive clothing. They are the richest nation of all. They are not attacked much even though their fighters are not the best due to their territory, a mesa.
The Pronghorns are also a rich nation due to slave trade and are allied with the Peacocks. They live in herds but are loyal to their leader. Their nation is ruled by a dictator who chooses the successor to come after them.
The Crocs fight among themselves in gangs but generally obey their leader. The leadership is constantly in turmoil as the leaders are thrown from the throne. They are at war with the Herrings, as both claim ownership over the river.

THE PEACOCKS
Religion: Believe that their ancestors watch over them and send them prophecies. Have priests to answer these. The priests perform a ritual to bless the eggs, and the eggs are soaked in holy water.
Government: Have a council of nine, and one leader. The leader has the power to override the council except when the vote of the council is 7-2 or higher. The leader chooses their successor out of the council members, and the council members choose a teenager to train and take their place after they retire. The leader is called the Ome. Ome is a syllable that means β€œrespected” and goes at the beginning of the leader’s name when they become leader.
Art: Have carved tree branches all around their city. Make beautiful hanging tapestries out of feathers.
Architecture: Like in tree-houses that are carved on the outside. A rich person may have ornately carved columns and curtains made out of feathers.
Economy: Have their own currency, different from the other nations, made of metal coins. They sell their feathers for a majority of their money from other nations. Other than that, they are pretty self-centered and don’t contact the other nations.
Social Classes: Believe in the concept of β€œnoble blood.” Though the peacocks are a rich nation, there are some richer people, or β€œnobles.” But there are no poor people. Anyone not able to get their own food will be cared for.
Names are multi-syllable. Each syllable is a different trait, and the syllables are given by their family. Example: eh-zoo-nuit-ah-bang-wee

THE PRONGHORNS:
Religion: Believe in one god. Their god, named Rhuit, is thought to have given them the right to use any means necessary to become powerful, including attacking and enslaving a weak nation. They believe that strength and speed are blessings from Rhuit and perform special dances and races to maintain these qualities.
Government: One leader, whose word is law. The leader chooses their successor. Though this is a dictatorship, most are content with their leader’s decisions. Though as a nation they are power-hungry, the leaders are usually kind to their own species.
Art: The Pronghorns make dyes and dye their fur for certain religious ceremonies. They use the dyes to dye clothing as well. They wear a lot of jewelry tied to their horns.
Architecture: They live in simple dug-out houses like the first pioneers. Their houses are usually marked with a flag on the roof with the family crest. The inside has fur blankets for sleeping on and a little stone fireplace.
Economy: Got rich off of the slave trade of Rhino Beetles. They have the same currency as other nations to make trade easy. All Rhino Beetles from the Dynastanae go to the Pronghorns first before being sold elsewhere.
Social Classes: For males, a social class consists of how much territory you can defend and how strong you are. The higher social classes usually get more mates. For females, there are pretty much two classes, rich and normal. The rich live in herds protected by the best males.
Names: Based on physical traits Example: Longhorn

THE HERRINGS:
Religion: The Herrings believe in balance. They do not take sides as a whole nation. Have two main gods, of water and land. They pray to these gods 2 times a day, to land in the morning, and to water at night. The prayer must be done on that god’s territory, so the water one is done after the Crocs have gone to bed.
Government: Are divided into squadrons. The squadron spies on a specific nation for a specific nation. They are held together by one leader, elected by the people. The people can vote to throw him out of office at any time and there is no given length of term. The Herrings were once wanderers, who realized there were a lot of other Herrings, and formed a nation. More Herring Wanderers join as they wish. They are a small nation but expanding quickly. There are 12 squadrons in all. People not in a squadron must keep the nation fed.
Art: Each squadron has a symbol which is carved on one of their temple’s pillars. Their main art is architecture.
Architecture: They live in small huts, but make beautiful temples. They consist of 12 pillars and a large flat roof. The pillars represent one squadron. Every year, people must spend the night in the temples. They also make β€œmeeting places” which are a large piece of wood on the ground. It is a place to congregate and talk. Make names are carved into it. The wood is painted with dye. Have dug a pool that flows from the river, then blocked it off. This pool is used for swimming and soaking.
Economy: Are paid for knowledge about other nations. Use the same currency as everyone else. Other than that, support themselves or steal from the Crocs.
Social Classes: Each squadron has ranks, which are based on seniority. Generally, spies are of a higher rank than non-spies.
Name: Two parts. Example, Sunscale.
THE CROCS:
Government: A divided nation. The gangs take sides and fight over issues. There is a leader, but he is only sometimes obeyed. The leadership is in constant turmoil. However, they manage to share territory and are united over common beliefs, like the fact that Herrings should never be allowed in the river.
Religion: No common religion. People are free to believe as they like. The majority have no religion.
Art: Whole trees by the river-bed are painted colorfully to mark the territory. Clothing is colorful and gang marks are worn.
Architecture: Homes are made on the river side. They are accessible through tunnels on the beach and tunnels in the water. They have two parts, a water part and a land part.
Economy: Buy from other nations slaves, clothes, intelligence, and food. Export food and other necessities found in their watery homeland.
Social Classes: Divided into gangs. All gangs are at the same social class. Not all fight, and some are peaceful. Gangs can decide the gender of eggs based on the temperature they are kept at. Not everyone is in a gang, there are some regular people.
Name: Anything. Make it up, but it cannot sound like a name from any ethnic groups!!! Example, Croamelen. Some gangs may have a name formula.

THE RHINO BEETLES:
Are now in tatters, but this is how it used to be.
Government: Elected leader and representatives.
Religion: Believed in many gods of different things. Had a sacred tree that only priests could drink from.
Art: Carved trees and made tapestries with peacock feathers.
Architecture: Had hammocks hanging from bigger branches. Personal items were stored in holes on the branch or in the trunk. Some tree platforms for meetings and parties were made, and ziplines constructed.
Economy: Self-sustained. Bought from other nations but didn’t export much.
Social Classes: There was a secret group rising planning to betray them called the Dynastinae. When the Cicadas attacked, they saw the opportunity to sell the citizens as slaves.
Name: Family name then real name. Example: Raxelton, brother of Raxperdexme

WANDERERS:
Sometimes in groups, these can be any animal. All the nations were Wanderers once. Wanderers (unless they are the same species) are usually not allowed in nations.

It's almost HIGH NOON. Deep down inside I hope I am picked. For the honor of course. If I'm picked then I will be respected. Currently, though I'm good, I'm not as good as Marqun. I'm also nothing compared to Calionna or Lianne. Besides, who's to say he'll even pick a girl? What about Diaason or Michael. They are both REALLY good. I sigh. There is no way I'm getting picked. It hurts to think that I can't and won't be picked, more than I expected it to, but who cares? Just then Janala shows up, and we both head over together. When we reach the shrine we still have 1/2 hour before HIGH NOON. Janala and I are sitting around and talking when I feel eyes on the back of my neck. I turn around, but nobody's looking at me except absently. It must have been my imagination. Soon Marqun stands up and says "Now I will announce my officers." He speaks quietly, but that doesn't matter. It is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "My first officer is Michael, my second is Rashonn." There is a moment of confusion. Someone says "But Rashonn is ill and can't leave bed." Marqun starts.
"Yes, I believe you're right." he says absentmindedly, trying to figure out who else he should take. After about a minute of silence, Marqun says, "well then, I will take Acaralea." He then nods and leaves. Everyone's eyes are on me. I am so shocked I can't think straight. Finally I grab Janala and she and I hop I the river and swim away in complete silence.

Starheart:

I now know that Vyjallen is not the Beetlestealer. I'll have to work on it after I get some rest. I near my small hut and my younger sister, Longstream, ran out to meet me.
"Hi, Star-Star!"
"My name is StarHeart. You should know that by now."
"But I like to call you Star-Star!"
"I'm not a spawn anymore!"
"Fine. Star-Star."
"Hey!"
I push past her and go into our hut get some rest.

The Next Day
I duck out of my hut at dawn and start heading towards the Pronghorn territory. Then I realize: The ideal place to look for the Beetlestealer would be the Dynastinae. The Beetlestealer would want to be close to the slaves it steales. I wonder what I would do once I find out who the Beetlestealer is. I guess the right thing to do would be to tell the Dynastinae leader. But would i do that? I'll have to think about that.

Vyjallen:
After I run into the woods, I wait for Stripedneck to leave, my heart pounding. I decide that I would rather walk in the open plains than in the forest. I had just escaped the Pronghorns, but only Stripedneck knew that. Others may think that I was just a slave taking a message. The Forest was the territory of the Dynastinae. I figured that the Dynastinae, on the other hand, DID know me. They probably even knew about the whole T-15 thing too. No, I thought. "I'd rather run into a Pronghorn." As soon as I saw Stripedneck walk away, looking furious, I waited a few minutes in case he came back, and when he didn't, I headed out. As I was walking, I realized how stupid my plan was. How would I know which peacock I was looking for? How could I be sure that I could even get into the nation? They were the most heavily guarded of all, I knew, and there was little chance that an odd sight such as me, a beetle coming from the plains, would not be stopped. What was I going to say? Though many Peacocks believed that slaves should be treated nicely, they would not want to endanger their nation. The Pronghorns would quite possibly attack the Peacocks if they discovered that they were harboring runaway slaves. And that knowledge was sure to reach the Pronghorns quickly if one herring just happened to be-
I stopped myself. It was no use imagining the worse. Right then I just had to focus on seeming to be innocent, or avoiding Pronghorns all together.
That thought had barely crossed my mind when I heard pronghorn hooves thundering my way. A second later, I heard:
"There she is! T-15! Get her!" As they came into view I realized one of them was the leader's second-in-command. That frightened me. What would he want with one runaway slave? Runaway slaves were usually the owner's problem and no one else's.
I feel rough hands grab me. "So I see Stripedneck pulled a few strings, huh?" a voice hisses. I smell something strong and sweet before I fall to the floor.

((Get ready for more impossible stunts in the next post! :) oh the suspense...))

"CICADAS!"
A scream wakes me up, and jolts me into thinking. Its been 17 years. Damn!
"TWO DAYS AWAY! RUN!"
The cicadas are the most destructive species on the planet. They... but I won't think about that.
"Sina!" I bark. "Pack up! We are leaving. Now." she comes running out, but i shake my head. "not now" i say. "Go." she nods, and frantically starts packing.

Two Hours Later

i swear, that girl must have a touch of goddess in her. She had the tent down and packed in an hour and a half. I spent that time trying to buy enough food for a days ride. When i got back, she was done.
"So, where are we going, anyway? This is rather... urgent."
"Cicadas." I say shortly. "We are going to stay with some of my... friends."

A Day Later

I finally see what i'm looking for: A plume of smoke from the trees. I tell Sina to stay put, dismount, mutter a short prayer to Vix that they don't kill me on sight, and walk into the woods.
The first one to see me was Kiri. She gasps (unsurprisingly, as the last time I saw her was when I was 13). "You... you came back?" i nod, and she says "stay here. then she runs deeper into the forest. "SHE'S BACK!!! SHE'S REALLY BACK!!!"

Half the village comes... not precisely running, more of a I-really-want-to-see-this-but-I-need-to-look-dignified-so-I-won't-run-but-I-really-want-to-run-and-see-this kind of running walk, led by Kiri, who doesn't care about looking dignified and is actually running, and then squishing all the air out of me.

I wake up to the sight of Pronghorns. I realize I am chained up. The leader of the three who kidnapped me (well I assume he is, he seemed to order the rest around) jolts upright when he sees me awake. "So you're awake," he says. He stands up and stretches. "I'm going to get the others." He grins. "Don't go anywhere!" As if I could. I don't even know what happened, all I know is my escape has gone terribly, terribly wrong. The leader comes back with the others trailing behind him, yawning and rubbing their eyes. The leader pulls up a chair and sits down. The others stand around, looking uncomfortable.
"I'll just get down to business," the leader stated. "We know who you are." I guess he sees me gasp because he goes on to explain, "Herrings." Which actually cleared things up quite a bit. "We know your brother doesn't know where you are. So we are going to use you as a bargaining chip. He is pretty high up in Dynastinae ranks, is he not?" Mutely, I nod. "I thought as much. So we are going to use you to lure Dynastinae members out here, and use the cicadas to finish them off! We've long since wanted the trade to ourselves. The Dynastinae are just more of your foul race, who think they're so high and mighty they can sell members of their own kind to us. When they are slaves too, we will become the strongest nation!" I am horrified. Kill the Dynastinae? "Oh, don't pretend, little girl," he says. "I know you hate them as much as I do. Maybe more, because for you it's...personal." I am shocked. I was thinking that. Who would desire the death of their own brother? I must be awful. "Glad that's settled," the leader says. "And I'm arranging for you to be taken to a small tribe of wanderers. They are under orders to keep you there, and I'm sure they will, because the Dynastinae have tried to enslave them before." He gets up and walks off. "Get up!" he yells to his "followers."
They scramble to follow him out, and leave me alone in the dark underground dugout.

I wake up to somebody yelling in the courtyard. The buildings here are all connected, so there is one large space in the middle. I walk outside, and see Ekarti yelling at a pronghorn for no apparent reason. Then the reason becomes painfully apparent: a rhinoceros beetle girl tied up. As I get closer, I hear whats going on.

"I will NOT deal with this! This is outrageous! Where did you hear I was under orders?? I have never heard of this insect in my life!", so on and so forth. The pronghorn, clearly used to being obeyed, was completely confused. I almost laughed, but stopped myself. Facing my foster father was... challenging, at best. Downright terrifying, most of the time. The rhinoceros beetle sees me, and motions for me to come over. i come over, pull out my knife, and pick the lock (skill I learned from my sort-of older brother). she stands up, looks at me, and attempts to run for her life. I pick up the knife, throw it, and pin her by the shirt to a tree. she looks at me in pure terror, and that's when the two men notice me. By this point, the pronghorn is seething about being screamed at, and Ekarti is really mad about the bug. So when they see me, the pronghorn says (in possibly the most controlled voice I've ever heard) "I did not bring this insect here for target practice, young lady." I draw myself up to my full height (a full 5 inches taller than the pronghorn, i just look shorter because I don't ever stand up straight), and say "if she hadn't been chained up, I wouldn't have let her out and then had to pin her to the tree to stop her from running." he looks... surprised, so I take this as the perfect chance to ask "Who are you, who is she, and what are you doing here, anyway?" his mouth drops open, and Ekarti answers for him. "Aria, this is Shorttail, the second-in-command of the Pronghorn government. Apparently he has been sent here by his leader in order to set a trap for the Dynastinae. The rhinoceros beetle is Vyjallen, sister of one of the higher ranking Dynastinae, and she is the bait." Bait? um. He continues. "Shorttail refuses to tell me all the details, but the Pronghorns hope to lead the Dynastinae to a spot in the forest, and then get the cicadas to kill them, and they will enslave the remaining living. I don't know where I would put Sina, let alone Vyjallen. As it is, the village will need to be expanded." the pronghorn holds up his hand. "Wait, who is Sina?" he asks. "Sina is my apprentice. I rescued her from a public beating in the Pronghorn-Peacock city. Before the cicadas were sighted." He looks confused, then his face sort of lights up. "So that's who you are! one of my females was talking about a fox who traded some bracelets for a rhinoceros beetle. X-47, I believe." I nod and say "Yes, I can also deal with Vyjallen, if you like..." The two men nod in relief, realize they were just arguing with each other, scowl, and walk off in opposite directions. Vyjallen looks at me and starts attempting to rip through the tree. I walk over, pull out the knife, lean over and say "I'm here to help you. Come with me." she nods, and we go back into the building.

Aca:
Marqun is here. I know this even though he's still in the water. I would recognize him any where. My heart does a skip. "No" I scold myself, "There will be none of that." I quickly clean of the table and sit down with an open book. Though I'm staring at the words, I'm not reading them. I wait for what seems like forever. Finally Marqun knocks. I wait at least 15 minutes after he knocks. Or at least it feels that way. In reality it is probably 3 seconds. I force myself to walk and open the door. When I see Marqun I feign surprise. I say "Marqun? Come in." He nods and follows me. He sits down at the table and I put away my book. "This is unexpected surprise. What are you doing here?" I try to ask calmly but it rushes out in a flood.
"I came to verify details with you. You rushed out before I could say anymore." replies Marqun as he leans back in his chair. So that's all. I feel my heart sinking, but mentally shake myself. I admit that I'm gaga for him to, but unlike other girls, I don't show it. He is leader of a gang. He won't bother with me. I smile and nod. "Of course." I say, "I'm sorry for running out, but I was a tad shocked. I'm sure you can understand." Marqun nods and says "Yes, that makes sense. So, you'll need to meet with Michael and I at the shrine before the sun rises. We have a long journey. You don't need to wear it at first, but bring a dress. You'll need to look nice for the affair." He smirks a little when he says this and then grins when he sees my face.
"A dress?" I ask, "You can't be serious."
"Oh, but I am" He replies.
"Fine" I say sullenly. "I'll look nice. But just this once." Marqun smirks again and I punch him in the shoulder. I've known him since I was little. Hence why to Marqun, I'm like a sister. He winces, but I think it's just to be nice. I didn't punch him very hard. Then we both erupt into laughter. Everything is going fine until Janala comes out. I had forgotten that she was here and she was taking a shower. She is wearing a bathrobe and comes out saying " Aca? Where is your brush?" She stops and stars at Marqun and me with her mouth open in an o. Then she blushes and covers her chest. I look at Marqun and realize he's staring at Janala. So, my best friend is very attractive to him, isn't she? I feel anger rising up in my chest, but I fight it down. I try to smile at Marqun but I'm afraid it comes out as more of a scowl. "Maybe you should go Marqun." I say quickly.
"But!" He responds finally looking at me.
"I know, 2 days, before DAWN. See you then" I shove him out the door and shut it in his face. I turn back to Janala, and say "Lets find that brush." But she sees my expression and hugs me. "I don't think he was staring like that Aca." I shake my head and begin to cry.

Marqun (I have made him, he just hasn't been accepted):

It is almost dark when I swim out to Acaralea's house. I decide on the way I will call her Aca, her pet name. Maybe she'll even respond positively. My mom says that in order to charm a girl "You need to make her feel comfortable. Don't worry about being big and brawny, be yourself." great advice I suppose. It works on every girl except Aca. When I smile at most girls they melt. I smile at Aca and she just smiles back. I wish that I could make her like me. I am so distracted that I hardly realize when I pull up at her house. I Climb out of the river and force myself to walk. My heart is thumping, but I tell myself that all I'm doing is coming to tell her the details of our mission. When I chose my people, I knew Rashonn was sick. I had already picked Michael and Aca, but I knew speculation would fly if she was my first pick. I reach the door and knick. After what feels like forever Aca opens the door. She looks surprised and my heart sinks. So she didn't know I was here. She says "Marqun? Come in." I follow her in and sit at the table. There is a book titled "Red Herring: The obtrusive history of spying" on the table which Aca quickly puts away. "This is an unexpected surprise," she says, "What are you doing here?" I quickly recite my information. And then I tell her about the dress. My face twists into a smile and I have to laugh at her face. She punches me and we laugh harder. I am beginning to relax when Janala comes in and ruins it all. She doesn't know of course, but she ruins it all the same. Janala is pretty and of course I stared at her, more out of shock then anything. Then I see Aca's face. She boots me out before I can say a word. I want to cry but oh well. However, there is some hope. Maybe, based on her reaction, Aca likes me after all.

Arrianonna:

As Vyjallen and I walk back into the building, I see the other inhabitants looking out at me. Mouthing off at two high-ranking pronghorns in the space of three weeks is apparently unheard of in this area. Kiri comes up to me and says "Was that really a good idea? I mean, he's sort of in charge, right?" I start laughing. "There is nothing he can do to me. And I got a rhinoceros beetle off his hands, right?" oops. She didn't know about Vyjallen. she (Vyjallen) looks at me and says "I am not taken off of people's hands. Who do you think you are, anyway?" I look at her and hiss "the only thing keeping you from going back into the slave auction right now." she shrinks, then give me a look. "Kiri," I say, "Not now. I have to get Vyjallen situated." she nods, then runs off. I sigh, then look at Vyjallen. "you know," she mutters, "I didn't ask to get rescued." I laugh. "Do you want to back there?" she shakes her head vigorously. "Then I suggest you come with me." We continue walking, and then i walk into somebody else. A person that hadn't been there a minute ago was now standing in the middle of the hallway, looking curiously at Vyjallen and I. I back up, mostly to get a better look at him. He is about 5'9, with short brownish hair and gray eyes. And he's sort of (really) cute. I mentally shake myself and say "Would you please watch where you are going?" he smirks. "I believe that you walked into me. And you are...?" I stop the rising embarrassment (mostly by elbowing Vyjallen, who is giggling), and say "Arrianonna. Now if you would excuse me..." I walk around him, and turn the corner to my room. Sina is looking at me, then at Vyjallen, then back at me, and says "So, what happened?" I start to explain, stop, think about it, and say "I'll let Vyjallen explain." I then promptly leave the room and go outside to shoot at trees until I am no longer completely pink with embarrassment. Then I realize that I still have no idea who that guy was.
Well, that is until he decides to come watch me shoot, and says "I believe I forgot to tell you my name." I whirl around, and almost shoot him. Then I realize what he said. He continues, "I'm Cardon. Sorry for sneaking up on you. Put the bow down, please?" I realize that I have unconsciously pulled the bow up to aim at him. I put it down, and say "You should be. And standing in the middle of the hallway where people can walk into you is also rude." He looks at me funny, and I pinch myself to keep from blushing. He laughs, taps me on the head, and walks off. Halfway between melting and seething, I kick at a tree, squeak in pain, and walk off in a huff.

((I couldn't think of anything to write, so I pulled a mushy romantic. Thank you, goddessiris, for giving me an idea. Romance is fun!))

((By the way, Audrey: For guys, "ah" means handsome and for girls it means beautiful. Also, I just wanted to join the party in the tribe so our characters could meet up so...))

Ah-quaz:

I am getting pretty far in my council training. I need to have experience outside of the peacock nation, if only I was my sister, she has tons of experience! Speaking of Zoozoo-um, she is home now! She sits me down on the soft couch.
"Ah-quaz, when I tell you this you have to swear not to tell anybody." she says in a harsh voice. I slowly nod.
"I am beetlestealer, I just want to let you know because I was informed that you have to go to get experience in another nation. Treat rhino beetles with respect, as you would want them to respect you. I will have Ah-de go with you to a small tribe..."
Why does she want me to go to this specific tribe? I trust her, she's everything I want to be, but she doesnt care about beauty and love. I want to marry and have my own family, she doesn't seem to care about that. I look up to her for that, but I couldn't do that. She begins speaking to a rhino beetle, Zhullen. She speaks with her as an equal, Zoozoo-um is just amazing. My sister introduces me to Ah-de, he bows to me, but as soon as he opens his mouth, I realize he isn't as eloquent as I thought he was.
"So this is my future wife, you told me about Zoozoo-um?" He says, his eyes smiling. Zoozoo-um shoots him an angry look and looks back at me.
"He's just joking Ah-quaz. i chose him to take you because he would entertain you more than those other, serious peacocks in the army."
I look at him. He has blonde hair and green-hazel eyes. His feathers are extravagant, they are many shades of blue, green, and a light brown. The eye spots on his feathers especially catch my eye. Enough fawning over him, I know Zoozoo-um picked him for more than what she said she did.
There is a long journey to this strange tribe and I have to go with Ah-de. He seems to know the way. When we reach the pronghorn border, he abruptly stops and says "Ladies first" I giggle at his flirtatious facial expression, but I stop myself. This makes me seem like an idiot! After a lot of walking, I am very tired, but Ah-de seems fine.
"It's the army training, I am used to walking much farther. What do you want me to do, carry you?" Ah-de asks.
"Maybe, if it'll get us there sooner"
He lifts me up and starts running.
"I didn't mean it seriously!" I yell at him, protesting to being carried.
"Don't worry, we're close."
It wasn't close enough, I was carried long enough for it to get really awkward. He puts me down finally and says "We're here, it's a tribe of loners, I don't know why Zoozoo-um would make you go here"
We go near the tribe and I spot a rhino beetle. I run over to the tribe and Ah-de follows.
"What are you doing here?" A fox loner asks me.
"I-I am here for council training, my sister wanted me to come here. I don't know why!" I stutter, I'm not used to fighting and she seemed angry. My sister isn't afraid of anything, she would know what to do. Why didn't she come with me?!
The rhino beetle seems interested in what is happening, I hope she isn't a slave, she's so young. I look back at Ah-de, his green-hazel eyes burning with concern. He nods as to say he has my back if anything goes wrong.

((MMMMM I hope you know what face I made at that picture! :) ))

Vyjallen:
The fox loner seems really rude. Obviously she is used to getting her way, even against Pronghorns. I am still puzzling over why she would release me and then take me. I would normally ask her. I am used to being around people who think they're better than me, in fact that's been my whole life. First in the Dynastinae, then as a slave, and now here too, I suppose. The other loners say that Adionna rescued the quiet beetle named Sina to be an apprentice in her shop. The Adionna I know, I can't see her doing a thing like that. I don't know why she treats Sina so much better than me. Why did she have to get involved in the first place?
I pluck up nerve to ask her a question. I decide to sound like an innocent little kid, since that's the way she sees me. I ask,"Can I train to make jewelry like Sina?" She glances at me disapprovingly. "No of course not. You're much too young." Of course. I think a 12 year old is perfectly capable to tell you the truth. Adionna orders me to go to my room, while is suprisingly well furnished. A nightstand is nestled in one corner, and the bed is covered with a warm-looking patch quilt. The window is hung with a deep brown curtain, casting a natural look over the whole thing. There is a nice rug on the ground, almost covering the whole wood floor.
I am suprised when one of the loners, called Elias, interrupts my sulking to present me with muffins. Huh, so not everyone here is all bad. He smiles a little when I open the door. "Vyjallen," he says. He shifts from foot to foot as he talks. "I'm sorry for the way Adionna treated you. I think perhaps she let you go and realized she shouldn't have, so she's extra mean to make up for it." He makes quotes with his hands. "I wanted to apologize for her actions." "With muffins?" I ask. His face breaks into a grin. "Just to ease the pain, I guess. Anyway," he sits down on the bed. "I should let you know that you shouldn't judge our tribe on her. She is not one of us, really. I'm sure you'll find that the rest of us are much nicer. And I am taking you out of her care, in a few hours. She has no right to keep you. While you are here you will live like an equal member of the tribe, not a slave." I am shocked. "Thank you!" I cry. I set the muffins on the nightstand. "Your welcome," he smiles. "But thank the tribe, not me." He closes the door behind himself. Already I think I've found one friend (or at least ally) in this tribe. Any bearer of muffins couldn't be all bad. I smile as I take a bite of one.

((No, Vyjallen does NOT like Elias. For one he is like 20, and for another he is not a beetle so that would be considered disgusting.))

Arrianonna:

I walk over to Vyjallen's room. I was really rude to her yesterday, and I need to apologize. I knock, and she comes to the door, opens it, sees who it is, and attempts to shut the door in my face. I stick my foot in and say "I think I need to apologize. May I come in?" She opens the door, gives me a surprised look, and lets me in. She sits down on the bed, and looks expectantly at me, so I start. "I... I just wanted to say that I was really rude yesterday. I've been kind of distracted, what with the whole running away from my parents murderers..." she stops me. "Wait, somebody killed your parents?" I nod. "Cicadas. Several years ago. That's how I knew about this place, because Ekarti and Tiamat took me in as a baby." she nods. "Continue, please." I keep talking. "I wasn't really thinking about it when I let you out. Then, when the other two saw me, I couldn't really let you go without getting the entire tribe into serious trouble, so I pinned you. Then when we came in, I was kind of embarrassed about the whole talking back to important pronghorn thing, so I didn't mean to be well, mean. I didn't meant to treat you like a slave AT ALL. I hate the slave trade. When you asked about the jewelry, you sounded so childish that I automatically thought that you wouldn't be able to handle it. I see now that that was a mistake. If you still want to work with me, you can." she looks pensive. "I'll think about it." I'm about to walk out, when I remember what I made. I turn around, and say "oh, I forgot something. I sort of stayed up all night working on this as an apology, so..." I give her three silver bracelets, one with a star engraved in it, one with a gem, and one with a cloud. She takes them, looks at them, and says "Thank you." I smile and leave.

Vyjallen twisted the silver bracelet on her wrist. She had only asked Adionna about jewelry to test her position with her, but as she played with the bracelets Adionna had given her as an apology gift, she couldn't help yearning to know how to make something like this. Honestly, Vyjallen didn't really care about staying in this room now. It was quite nice, and reminded her of her old Dynastinae nest, all dark brown colors. She made up her mind. While she was here, which would be a long time, probably forever (a fact she had sadly accepted, unless she could convince the tribe to try to stop the pronghorn's plan, which wasn't likely) she might as well make something of it. "I'll go find Adionna tomorrow," she thought. "I'll tell her I want to make jewelry." After her mind was freed of that indecision, it was able to go back to thoughts she had been trying to avoid: the pronghorn's plan. While she didn't like the Dynastinae any more than the pronghorns, she squirmed at the thought that her entire species could be enslaved. Up until now, the Dynastinae had always sat at the back of her thoughts, a safe place she could go if she was in trouble. But now what? Vyjallen didn't want the beetles to be enslaved AT ALL. She sighed. "I guess I'm not being realistic," she thought as she curled up on the bed. "What's one girl going to do about it? The tribe won't help me."


Shimmerscale: ((I know, you're probably saying whaaa? who's dat? but she does exsist i've just never used her.))
I turn to Blackwing and roll my eyes. Our squadron leader, Oak's-song, means well, but everyone talks about her waving arms and fake smiles behind her back. Blackwing, surprisingly, doesn't laugh like usual, but insted turns his head and makes a "shush" finger. Annoyed, I turn back to Oak's-song. She is passing out papers labeled, non-suspiciously, "the secret plan". It is in our squadron's very detailed secret code, but still. I skim the paper, most of which is taken up by the squad logo, motto, and other accessories. My eyes gravitate to a sentence at the bottom, however, that makes me forget these annoyances. I can barely make out Oak's-song's sloppy scrawl, but I get the idea. I do a little dance in place. Blackwing nudges me. "What?" he whispers. I show him the paper. It says,"Some Crocs are leaving on a journey very soon. Our squad is going to keep tabs on them. We have chosen a select few to stake out and watch them. Those are-," My name and his are both on there. His eyes light up. "Yes!" he whisper-yells. "Finally something! A real mission!"

Arrianonna: ((before I post, this is something that actually needs to be said. MY NAME IS NOT ADIONNA. IT IS ARRIANONNA. those of you whom that concerns know who you are.))
Vyjallen seems to be getting along much better with me now. She actually asked me again if she could learn to make jewelry (using her own voice). She mentioned something about "pronghorn's plan" talking to herself a bit later. I stopped her and said "You have family in the Dynastinae, don't you." It wasn't a question, and we both knew the answer. "You know about the peacock that just arrived? Her sister approached me about Sina a few weeks ago, so I suspect that she doesn't like slavery, and she seems pretty influential, so maybe you could ask her for help?" she smiled, and said "Good idea, thanks." she then runs off, supposedly to talk to the peacock. What was her name, anyway? Ah-quaz? I just hope that she can help. I dislike the dynastinae, but more slaves is NOT something I'm interested in.

((Did I mention the new roleplay that I made? And that you should go look at it hint hint. placevalue made a character already, so you can ask her about how awesome it is hint hint.))

Ah-quaz:
Thank goodness I could get into the tribe, I don't know what would've happened if there was a problem. I gaze at Ah-de, he nods his head slowly. We walk into the tribe, there seems to be quite a few foxes here. How did so any of the same species appear? The only large gatherings of species are already nations. I greet one fox loner. I see the rhino beetle in a closer view, she is very young. Why is she here? I decide that I will ask her, but I hesitate. Ah-de is joking with some of the tribe members, he seems to be getting along with them pretty well. I notice that the fox loner that I greeted is close with this rhino beetle. Is that her slave?
"Hello, i am Ah-quaz. I mean no harm, I'm just here for my council training and I am only here with Ah-de."
((I will have some interesting backstory on Zoozoo-um up in the OOC forum))
