The girl stood a bit, thinking about the problem. "Well, I suppose that I made a small mistake. It's actually 10:54 p.m. according to my non-existant watch. Sorry."

"Awfully light for that, ain't it?" Tai mused. "Or can I see in the dark? I forget. After transforming so much, you begin to forget what you yourself can do..."

Edorphin, delighted to have a reason to leave off working on the castle, slipped silently behind the new girl and inhaled through all three sets of nostrils. "Mmmmm. Pre-salted!" He raised an eyebrow, the sunglasses unintentionally falling down far enough to reveal the empty sockets where his eyes used to be. "Hee. You're strange, can I see how you taste?"

Melody was walking over to Coal, having picked up her unease, when a voice sounded in her mind. Hey, sis. Melody froze, looking around. She knew that voice, but she refused to let herself hope. suddenly, her eyes landed on a figure down the beach. Catching her breath, she took on small step then another. She rubbed her eyes, hoping it wasn't an illusion. It wasn't. "KIVA!" she shouted, running towards her twin.

"But they were talking about a guy named Moss?" Trandar inquired.

Melody ran into Kiva knocking the breath out of him. "Ow," he said, looking at his twin. Melody squeezed him tightly, then took a step back. Impatiently brushing the tears from her eyes, she smiled at him. "And where have you been, brother?" she demanded, hands on her hips, her lips twitching with a barely contained grin.

The girl thought for a while. A very long time, infact. Almost a week. "No," she finally answered. "No, I don't think I'd enjoy being licked very much. Unless you're a dog, which you are most obviously not. 'Cause, ya know, dogs don't have 3 nostrils. Unless they were in a freak accident or something. My friend was in a freak accident, do you know? A piano fell on her, and for some reason now she has 5 legs and 7 arms and 4 heads. Pretty weird stuff for something that oughtta kill you. Unless it was a nuklear-powered piano. Man, that would be AWESOME. It'd be all like... Uh, what were we talking about?" Unfortunately for the girl, by the time she had finished talking it was now late afternoon.

"Moss, Moss, Moss?" grinned Viktor, swaying back and forth, "Maaaybe Grey knows of this Moss?" Viktor poked the young-seeming zombie untill she turned around, to face Trandar. She appeared to 'look' him over, and her eyes widened in wonder. "A... Felidae? What relation do you have to Moss?"

Trandar strode lazily and arrogantly to the center of the croud. "I am Trandar Bandytail of the Tufted Ear clan of the Rufus felidae demons. Legendary warrior. My clan was destroyed by a ferocious dragon and I was the sole survivor. I set out on a quest to avenge my fallen family by slaying the deadly dragon. I knew that it was destiny for me to do so because of my markings... The markings of our god that were bestowed upon me by the divine at my birth. Moss is my loyal Treeborn vassal. But alas, our first bout with the dragon was unsuccesful and we were defeated and seperated. But I always knew that he was not dead. The two of us are too powerfull to be killed so easily". He looked around to make sure that they had all been listening.

Melody walked back with her brother. "Hey, i want you guys to meet my brother," she said, before she saw the cat person. "Um...who are you?" she asked confusedly, gripping her brothers hand.

The girl looked eagerly up at Trandar. "Hey! I know a comic where a guy got tattoos because he was the disciple of his god!! The god was Mephistophelis, the ruler of the 7th layer of Hell, and the disciple was this really homicidal mortal guy named 'Gort', who's like really short, and for some weird reason he has an identical twin who has been named a saint!!! And his tattoos look like red fire, and he gets a new little flame everytime he sacrifices someone in the name of Mephistopheles It's a really cool comic, you should check it out. 'T's called 'Darken'." The girl gasped for breath, pulled her eye-bleedingly pink beret back straight, and said, "Oh yeah. Name's... uh... Chantre!! That's right Chantre. That's a good name, right? 'SHAN-tree'. Cool. Rhymes with Banshee. Huh. Cool place, this. Late afternoon one moment, then evening again. Soo... You're in a clan called 'The Tufted Ear'? Doesn't really sound like the kind of thing you'd waste everyone's time bragging about."

Melody shook her head at the girls incessant talking. At that moment Coal flew over to her. "Who are you?" she asked Kiva pleasantly, settling on Melly's shoulders. Kiva smiled, his blues sparkling with laughter. "I'm Kiva, Rosey's brother," he said.

Trandar stared daggers Chantre. Then arrogantly tossed his head in disgust. "And you dont look like the kind of person you would waste everyones time talking to".
Meanwhile.....
Miles away from civilisation, high up in a tree, a small humanish looking creature leaned back on a branch with his eyes closed. Covered in black fur with large rabbit like ears and wearing a trench coat and a crooked sorcerors hat, the creature looked like he was in a state of complete calm.
Slowly Moss began to feel his mind stetching out. He could feel the consciousness of the tree he was sitting in, the consciousness of the trees that surrounded him for miles out. He could sense all of the creatures that walked in the woods and slowly he was able to feel the forest spirit, its Protector, a collection of all the trees in the woods and something more. Now he could begin to feel other worlds, worlds always just out of reach. Ones that these trees seemed to live in at the same time as they lived in this one. Moss felt smugness knowing that he was the only creature of his kind that could experience this. These were the times that made his life worth living.
And yet...
As he let his mind lose itself within the tangled branches of this beautiful reality. As he lost all feelings of stress and worry. As he let go of all the ties he had to this world, one thought reamained. It was her. Suka Kainaro. The half-kitsune demon's presence would not leave him. In this strange reality the only thought that remained strong in him was her. And the thought of her burned strong in his mind and he could not leave it. Slowly he slipped out of the reality and climbed to the ground.
He could still feel the consciousness of the trees. Could still feel the forest spirit. But all his troubles were back.
"Im sorry" he said to the spirit and to the trees "I cannot be with you now for there is something that pulls me to this world. Something that does not allow me to leave. Her name is Suka Kainaro and she is the most beautiful woman in all of existance. Once, I travelled with her, but like a fool I lost her. But I cannot live without her. I have searched high and low for her but I have found nothing. Its a great burden not to be with her. One I am not sure I can bare. And I cannot escape from this burden within me."
He sighed "She is like the embodiment of everything that is beautiful in this world. She goes beyond perfection." Tears welled in his eyes "I-I cursed her sister and she forgave me. She never paid any heed to the fact that I am a freak. But it dosent matter. I am not worthy of her affection and I know that she could never truely be attracted to me. But still... I cannot stop thinking about her. I know that I have no right to make any request of you, oh great one but would you like to know what the one thing in the whole world that I would enjoy most would be? If I could have one wish I would wish that I could show her to you and you to her. I wish that I could show her this wonderfull land and that she could see all that I do, and that I could show you the most wonderfull being that was ever born a mortal."
Then he picked up on something. Moss could feel her presence. Sukas's presence He turned around to where he felt it coming from and moved forward in that direction.

Grey smiled wryly. "It would seem that said creature approches." she then frowned. "Wait..." Hadn't she experianced Moss's worst memory? His... Father? He had been torn apart by a dragon. Was the Felidae Trandar his father? Why would he proclain Moss his 'vasal'?

Trandar turned to look at Grey "now heres someone worth talking too!" he said cheerily "eh? what d'you mean 'said creature approaches'? and how do you know my good friend Moss? I told my tale. Now its your turn. What d'you mean 'wait'?".
OOC: DeltaT was better at writing for felidae.

Verve walked up to the crowd, scratching the back of her head. She had left Dylan behind to complete the last details on his castle. She coughed slightly and nodded to the new arrivals. "Sorry about Dy, he gets a little enthusiastic about things sometimes. The name's Verve, pleasure to meet you... erm... everyone."

"And its a pleasure to meet you... Verve" Trandar swooped down, took Verves hand and kissed it "allow me to introduce myself. I am Trandar Bandytail of the Tufted Ear clan of the Rufus Felidae demons. Sole survivor of my clan and future dragon slayer".
He span around to look at Grey again, lifted a hand dramatically into the air and said "a quest of discoveries commences! My fallen comrade has been discovered and now this enchanting woman tells me of his tale. Join us in the journey to enlightenment Verve! Let tales be told and let us not have regrets as we join together and hear mysteries unfold".

"Hiya! I'm Melody. Not Rosie. don't listen to this lunkhead if he says i am," Melody said, elbowing her brother. Kiva grinned. "Hi, I'm Kiva, Rosie's, I mean, Melly's twin brother," he said, teasing his sister. Coal looked at him. "But why do you call her Rosie if that's not her name?" she asked, puzzeled. Melody sighed. "My middle name is Rose. He learned long ago that he could get away with calling me Rosie, so now he does it all the time. He's the only one though," she answered, mock-glaring at her brother. Kiva just smiled at her.

Verve gave Trandar an odd look. "Uhm, right. Enlightenment." She raised an eyebrow at Grey. "Really? Moss is on his way here? What, is there some sort of attaction spell on this place? Ah, nevermind. I wonder how the guy's been. He's an okay sort, paranoia and all."

"What? Is that what she meant? Moss is coming? How would she know? Paranoia? That sounds like Moss. He needed enough paranoia to balance us out. I've lost several lives due to my recklessness. You both know him? Who else knows Moss? Will somebody tell me how they know him?"
OOC: I dont like Trandar. He's weird. But he always acts like this.

Chantre pouted her lip as the weird people on the beach completely ignored her. "Well, if they're not gonna listen, I'm not gonna stay." she thought to herself, and stepped back into the waves. She waited. A few moments passed. She checked her non-existant watch again. "come on, hurry up!" she said to lord knows what as she began to feel conspicious. She stamped on the sand. "Why won't you let me back in?!" she yelled, then went back onto the beach and sulked. Why wouldn't the sand let her back in her realm?? It had coughed her up easily enough here, the sand should be soft enough to travel through. Unless... "The portal's gone! OH MY DEAR LORD, THE PORTAL'S GONE AND IT'S NEVER GONNA LET ME BACK!!!!!!!!!" Chantre scrambled onto the sand, digging up fistfuls of sand and flinging them over her shoulder desperately. But it was no use. Whatever mechanism she had used to get here was gone for good. The hyper girl was now here to annoy the inhabitants of the beach forever.

Melody looked at the odd girl's odd behavior and shook her head before taking a few steps back from her brother. "Oh, Kiva," she said in a sing-song voice. "What?" he said cheerfully, already guessing what she was going to do. Melody swiftly ran up, hit him, and ran away. "TAG! you're it!" she cried, spinning away and running down the beach.

Chantre wailed at Taimatsu's discouraging statement and sulked in a corner some more. Until she heard Trandar's statement.
"You want to know about moss? It's in the class Musci, division Bryophyta, I think, and is most commonly found around water. It's various colors of green and when it's right next to the water, it's really slimy, but when it's not, it is very pleasant to walk on. Y'probably won't find it here, cause it grows near all water but the sea." She beamed as she tried to hide the dictionary under her hat. "Oh, wait. You're talking about moss as if it were a person? Nope, don't know notin' about some guy named 'Moss', bye-bye!" She ran into the woods, hoping that her statements didn't cause Trandar any alarm; he looked as if he could pack quite a punch.

Melody, ignoring Trandar's command, suddenly turned into a cat and ran up his leg and settled on his head. Kiva, following close behind as a small dog, ran into his legs.
