Moon Stone slammed down an almost empty basket of herbs. Onto the large wooden table that sat in the middle of the room. Aristaeus, a blue and white Tsabhua welp, leaned over the table to see what was inside. He recognized what used to be the soft green of mint even though it was wilted. "The Jaebo have gotten into the garden again. They are worse than the rats!" Moon Stone said through clenched teeth. "Just look at what they did to my herbs!" She indicated the sad looking herb lying i...

"The herd of Hojenst is getting too big." Alexander stated as he walked into the main building where all the adults of the village were discussing the plans for the year. Moonstone turned from where she was talking to Kel. "What do you mean, too big?" "There are too many. They are devastating the fields and the trees. Yesterday a belemoid welp almost got trampled when the herd got spooked." Alexander answered. "We could always use more of their meat. The winter was hard o...

Ramsay sat next to Dionysus, a large brown aerobic Tark'ee, as they sat watching the village town square come to life. Kion was setting up his bright blue tent. And the smell coming from the tent made Ramsay's mouth water. And next to him, two young Tsabhua, Pearl and Jasper were setting up a smaller mauve colored tent. They had a cart full of boxes." "What do you think they are selling?" Dionysus asked as he watched Jasper, a mostly white Tsabhua, struggle to take one of the boxes out...

Dionysus walked slowly behind the energetic welps as they ran and played in the snow. ((The weather had started to warm up and the snow fall had tapered off. Soon the snow would all be melted. And the sledding hill would soon be green and be ready for planting.)) When Aristaeus, Ramsay and Jane had requested to go out to the sledding hill Dionysus had offered to go with them. He had grown fast through the harsh winter and now toward everyone. He doubted even an Arktikos would attack wi...

"What took you guys so long?" Skyner said as his two companions walked or slithered off the gang plank and onto the dock where he had been waiting for them. ((He kicked off the remains of the fish he had procured while waiting. They hit the water below with a soft plonk and quickly sank out of sight. )) "The water looked cold. This is Rekes after all. Not the warm waters of Issiq," Charai reminded the belemoid. "I would have jumped but Charai said not to," Spalla said quietly. S...

((It was a beautiful cold day. The suns were shining overhead, no clouds in sight. The snow covered trees glittered as the suns light touched them. And the black mountains of Rekes was no longer covered in clouds. For the first time in what seemed like ages the snow had quit falling.)) Noel padded along the snow packed trail on her way to her best friend's place by the lake. She had not seen Shasta and Thomas in a while and was worried. Next to her was her other friend Moon Stone. She...

Ramsay's light blue head peeked around the large tree trunk. He was pretty sure the large tree was able to hide most of him. Unlike the welp towering over him. "Are you sure you can get in?" ((Dionysus said in a hushed tone as he leaned his large brown body around the tree trunk. His wings tucked close to his side and he had to lean over to see under the evergreen tree.)) They were both looking at a squat square building that sat at the edge of the village. Ramsay knew that insi...
