Moon Stone placed a cold washcloth on Kel's forehead She and Kya had replaced or added the many linen wraps on his body. Kel had woken up in the night and seemed to know where he was but then after an hour had gone back to sleep. ((The storm had raged all night long. It hammered at the walls and made the window shutters raddle. Moon Stone had opened the door at one point and had to quickly shut it before the hallway filled with the white snow.)) She was glad that the storm had f...

Toffee grunted as she pulled the makeshift gurney behind her. ((Kel lay motionless on top of it. His back paws and tail dragged on the ground. Deep ruts in the snow marked the winding path back to the mine they had just left. )) Toffee noticed that the trees up ahead were thinning and knew they were getting close. She threw her weight into the makeshift straps and hauled harder. Toffee was huffing and puffing when she made it to the edge of the colony. "Help! I need Help!" Toffe...

((A small animal, with small round ears and a long tail scurried from the room on its six legs. Moon Stone saw a flash of grey as the huldah ran from the light of the hallway. )) "I swear they are multiplying!" Moon Stone exclaimed as she flipped on the overhead lights. She saw three more of the huldah, all a different color of grey, scurrying across the empty counters and down across the floor to disappear behind some shelving. "I need these gone! How are we supposed to ha...

Kel took the miner's helmet off the hook and twisted it around until he could get to the back of the lamp. He opened up the back and took out the used batteries and put in new ones. It was always best to just replace batteries and not wait for the light to go out. More than likely it would go out while in some dark cave and trying to replace the batteries in the dark was just a bit tricky. Kel clicked the last battery into place when Toffee walked in. She had a large pack cinched ...

Moon Stone silently walked through the underground jungle. Kel had told her about it but it was still amazing to see. ((The low lights above were just enough to illuminate the room but it made the trees and shrubs cast long shadows. Moon Stone wondered how it was possible to grow plants in such light. )) " Oh wow! Look at that tree and those vines. " Bunsen said as she walked alongside her friend Moon Stone. Kel didn't like Moon Stone going alone into the bunker so she had volunteered....

Kel walked along a small worn out trail that seemed to follow the lazy river. "This is such a pretty place. It's so quiet. " Kya said as she walked beside him. He couldn't agree more. ((This place with its fields of flowing green grass and gently rolling hills was the picture of tranquility.)) He much preferred this quiet place then the last one. The ocean was breathtaking but there was so much to see and do. There was almost no time to just relax. They basked in the quiet until...

Kel grabbed the golden wheat and pulled the plant up root and all and placed it in the wheelbarrow that sat beside him. To his right Toffee was hard at work harvesting the wheat. Her wheelbarrow was quickly filling up and they would soon have to take it inside the harvest house where those in the village knew more about preparing the plant to get the much needed heads of grain. Kel was just glad that he was not in that group. ((Kel and Toffee had been working since suns up and now the suns we...

Kadense fiddled with her with her mask. She watched as Kel helped Kya put the oxygen tank on her back. He kept fiddling with the straps, probably making sure they were snug. He had done the same with hers and Alexanders. Tolly, being a reef Tark'ee had no need for air tanks and masks over by the door talking to another Reef Tark'ee. "You ready, squirt." Alexander said. The mask he wore made his words sound stuffy. "Remember your swimming lessons we had before we all came. You got t...

((Kya looked around the room one last time. Everything was in its place. Kadense had thrown her bag on the bed and it was laying upside down between two pillows. She was just glad she had tied it tight otherwise the contents would no doubt be strewn across the room. Alexander's bag lay at the foot. He had taken better care when setting his bag down.)) ((She personally had placed her and Kel's bags gently on a pillow. One of the bags lay slightly open probably when Kel had taken out som...

Kadense bounded out of the elevator, her excited squeal caused Alexander to chuckle. "Whoa there squirt, you need to wait for the slow pokes. " Alexander said as he shot the two older Tsabhuas as they exited the elevator with much more calmness. Kel and Kya were too busy chatting and had missed Alexander's jab. Which did not faze Alexander in the slightest. There would be more chances to rib the two older ones later. Alexander ran to catch up with Kadense who had sto...

"So you in?" Spring said as the mostly white Tsabhua causally pointed out the many packages that were haphazardly thrown together on the docks. It was a wonder none of them had fallen in the water below. ((In the distance he could see the ship silhouetted against a darkening sky as the suns started to dip below the horizons.)) Kel grimaced as a small package slipped from its precarious place and slid down the small mountain of packages. "I can see why you might need help carrying all t...

"It's back!" Alexander sang out as he sauntered into the large dining room. ((A large rectangle table stood in the middle of the room. It was large enough that fifteen colonists could stand around during any meal. Right now it was bare except for a bowl of fruits and nuts in the center which Alexander helped himself too.)) "What's back?" Kya asked as she put away the last of the plates. "Yeah what's back?" echoed Toffee from behind Kya. The marking around her eye glowed ...

Moon Stone took a small empty vial out of her pouch and dipped it into the colorful waters of the Glittering Lake. Ever since she had heard of the Lake she had to see it for herself. So when she had heard that there was a boat taking on passengers headed to Mireh she bought herself a ticket. The passage had been a lot shorter than Moon Stone had thought but with it being the wet and windy season the boat had made really good time. She could have done without the rain. She placed the vi...

((Mushrooms as tall as trees stood around them in all shades of red. Their undersides a pale yellow in color and the tops had circles of a slightly brighter yellow color then the trunks.)) Moon Stone was not too sure she would ever get used to it. Mushrooms were small and good for putting in stews. Not for being trees. She had overheard Kel talking to Kya about a mining trip to L'Hatzif and decided that now that she was an adult she also wanted to go on adventures. So she had begged to...

Jermaul ran into his room that he shared with Susan and Moon Stone and grabbed his old battered basket. He had found it in a junk pile outside of the Sanguine cove the last time Kel and Kya had taken them. Once he had his basket he ran out to join Bunsen, Susan and Moon Stone. "Kay! I am ready!" Jermaul announced. The basket in his mouth made it hard to speak. ((The day was unusually warm and the ground beneath his feet was still wet from the rain of last night. The clouds were ...

Kel and Marchus continued on into the damp dark jungle. ((It was eerily quiet as there was no wind rushing through the tall dark trees. The smell of the damp dirt overpowered any other smells unless they got really close.)) There was very little sign that this place was inside a bunker except for the strange lights that hung high above them. Kel and Marchus had just entered another area and were very carefully moving through it. Marchus held the device in his hand but no longer needed to u...

Kel adjusted the strap that was holding the two baskets on his back. Next to him both Kya and Shasta were doing the same. ((The rain was coming down and the warm air was making everything feel muggy and miserable.)) This was probably his least favorite of all the seasons. But it also signaled that the winter was coming and they would need everyone to help gather food and supplies before the snow came. A young green Tark'ee ran up to the group. "Jamaul, you go take Moon Stone and Susan ...

((The wind and the rain had slacked off over the last couple of weeks. The skies were a clear and a bright purple and with that came the cold.)) Without the sky holding in the warmth the temperature had dropped. Belleron had been scavenging wood whenever she found it. By now she had two whole rows of wood alongside one wall of the cave she was staying in. And that is what she had been doing just now. Except her arms were empty and she was limping on her left hind leg where there were s...

((Kel fought against the harsh wind and rain as it whipped around him making it nearly impossible to see five feet in front of him.)) He could feel Kya holding his tail but could not turn to see her for fear of losing Shasta who was leading the way. "I can see a cave up ahead. " Shasta shouted. ((The wind seemed to take her words and fling them back toward the two Tsabhuas.)) Kel just ducked his head down lower. He had given up talking to Shasta but every time he did the wo...

Marchus and Kel made thier way deeper into the jungle. ((It no longer smelled like water but had more of an earthy smell to it. And the moss and vines had given way to more of the strange looking trees and plants.)) ((The trees were tall and stalky with a head of bush like green foliage. Bright purple five petaled flowers that seemed to give off a slight glow climbed up the trunks and entertwined in the branches making it look like the tree had both flowers and fruit.
