  18. Cabi was picking berries again. The tribe was safe, but hers was a pretty boring existence. It wasn't that she didn't like it here, it's just that adventure was more her thing. There was little of that here. Cabi grimaced slightly. Well, Deat provided a bit of excitement. In the bad way. No one really liked him, but he hadn't done anything wrong yet, so they couldn't exactly kick him out. Before Cabi could pick the last berry, she heard commotion. She walked carefully towards it, but realised it was King's and Fess' voices, so she bounded the rest of the way. 'Oh gods! Is it that hard for you to lie down?!' Fess said angrily, but there was worry in her voice. She firmly pressed a paw to King's head, and pushed him down onto a nest that he was standing in. 'I told you, I'm fine!' he said back, but the usual laziness was gone out of his voice. His voice sounded slurred and unclear. Fess ignored him. 'Stay here. I'll find it.' she said determinedly, slowly taking her paw away from King, as if they had done this before and King had tried to get up. 'You can't see, Fess.' King said, a bit more worry in his tone. 'You'll be all alone outside the tribe territory.' 'But I can smell, genius. And I'll be quick.' she reassured him. Cabi decided it was time to offer help. 'Sorry for interrupting, I couldn't help but overhear you guys talking. Maybe I could help you find what you're looking for?' Cabi said with a grin. Both King and Fess looked relieved. 'Yes please. If you could. I am looking for a healing fruit, because this idiot ate who knows what, and now he's sick.' the teasing tone that Fess and King usually had with each other was gone. Fess was obviously very worried for him. 'I'm fine...' King mumbled again, but Fess just arranges the nest he was lying on so he would be comfortable. Fess turned around and set out for outside the territory, with Cabi on her heels. 'When I was still a wanderer I found a healing fruit nearby, follow me!' Cabi smiled. 'I think-' Fess started to say, but cut herself off. She cleared her throat and spoke quickly. 'Of course. Lead the way.' Fess was still obviously unaccustomed to taking orders, instead of giving them, but she was getting better at it. The smell of the fruit interrupted both their thoughts. 'Found it!' Fess smiled and rushed forward. Her smile turned to a frown quickly. 'Do you smell that?' Cabi sniffed the air for a moment, and noticed it too. It was an old scent, but it smelled like.... Deat? What would he be doing here? 'The fruits still here. He must have taken it and it grew back. But why would he want it?' Cabi mused. Fess picked the fruit, and turned to walk back home. 'I don't know. Maybe he was sick. But then again, it's Deat.' Fess shuffled slightly. 'I'm sure he was just sick, but I can't help but be worried.' 'I'm sure it's fine.' Cabi said. They both shook it off by the time they reached home. Fess strode over to King. She gave the fruit to him, and he ate it. 'You look better but you still need some rest. I'll be off!' Cabi smiled. Fess smiled as well, in Cabis direction. 'Thanks Cabi.' Fess said. King muttered his thanks as well before he fell asleep. Fess sarcastically rolled her eyes at him, but she looked happy that he was unhurt. As Cabi walked back to the bush she couldn't help but wonder about Deat. ~ Mira sighed as a Dodomingo, yet again, stole her nest. This was the third time this week. She batted at it, but all it did was make it scream and nest itself further in. 'Having trouble?' a familiar voice said from behind her. Lupo sat down beside her, an easy grin on his face. 'It's not like this happens rarely.' Mira said drily, gesturing at the nest. Lupo tried to chase the dodomingo away as well, but he also failed. 'You can borrow my nest if you like?' he said eventually. Mira smiled at him. She wasn't getting any younger and she decided it was time to tell him. 'Lupo, I was wondering if you could be my mate?' she asked calmly. Lupo's fur almost turned red, but he smiled. 'Sure Mira.' The two of them walked together down to the tree, away from the dodomingo screeching. (ultra sidecharacters get married yay) ~ Cheri breathed in, and out. She had dealt with feeling guilty for the past few days, and decided it was time to talk. She spotted Cane sitting by the ocean, idly picking at grass. 'Hey.' she said. He jumped slightly, but recognised her voice. 'Hey.' he replied dully. He didn't seem angry now. Cheri wanted to say something more, but couldn't hold back. She just wanted to get straight to the point. 'So, about me telling you about your mom, Haran, I didn't mea-' Cane quickly cut her off. 'It's fine. Really. Turns out Lupo knew, but wouldn't tell me and King because he didn't want to ruin any memories we had of her. King was pretty mad, but I guess I understand. I was mad at you at first, but thanks for telling me.' Cane finally looked up at her. He was genuinely sad. Cheri went and sat down beside him. 'You're welcome, but I should have been.... More careful about the way I said it. Sorry.' Cheri said quietly. Cane nodded, looking back out to sea. Cheri continued softly. 'Sometimes creatures we care about can be kind to us, because they love us, and since you love them back, you can't see all the bad things they've done. Life isn't black and white. No one is just bad and just good. Some creatures can be cruel and kind, and depending on the creature you talk to, they could be amazing or they could be disgusting.' 'You're right.' Cane murmured. 'I'm glad I know now at least' Cane gave a weak smile. 'Don't get yourself bogged down. Focus on the now.' Cheri smiled, and Canes smile became more genuine. Cheri got up and stood there for a few moments longer before walking off, leaving Cane so he could think.

  20. A few days later, Andromeda's and Shee's kit was born. He was quiet and calm for a kit, and they named him Kendyll. But Kendyll's first experience of the world was an unpleasant one, as a bearyena attacked just a few days after he was born. It immediately went for him. Cabi was nearby, and when she heard Meda scream she immediately ran to her. Cabi threw herself at the bearyena even though she was one of the worst at fighting. She tore at its hide, but it just batted her away, and she fell against a rock, with a scream. Shee and Meda stood in front of their son, and the bearyena immediately went for Meda. It clawed her side, but the two creatures fought back. But there was only two of them, and they were losing. Suddenly a blur of red fur and claws threw itself at the bearyena, distracting it. It was Randi, and he was fighting it almost by himself. Neoki stood at the sidelines. She couldn't fight. But I can't watch my brother get torn to pieces either. She stood up on shaky legs, then she yelled at the bearyena. 'Come get me you brute!' She yelled, and faked a limp. The bearyena saw that she was a much easier meal than a protected kit, and ran to her. Neoki broke out into a sprint and ran into the grasses, the bearyena following her. Her breath came sharply, and after only a minute her legs already felt as if they were going to drop off. She stopped and looked around, panicked. The bearyena was right behind her, she only had a few seconds to think up a plan. Think Neoki. Think. She saw a tree. A cave. A twig snapped. The bearyena was here. The bearyena sniffed around. Neoki was not in the clearing. It caught a scent, and the sight of red fur up in a tree. It licked it's muzzle and climbed the tree easily. It tore at the fur, but there was nothing there other than a small amount of red fur. No Neoki. The bearyena growled in frustration and looked around a bit more before giving up. Randi ran into the clearing a few minutes later. 'Neoki! Sister!' he called. He was close to tears. Only silence answered. 'Here! I'm here, I'm okay.' Neoki called. She emerged out of the cave covered in a black mud. 'I managed to trick the bearyena. It couldn't smell me because of the mud.' 'You could have died!' Randi yelled, wrapping Neoki in a big hug. 'You should have just let me handle it. You're my sister. I don't want anything to hurt you. You can't fight, I have to protect you.' 'Randi, maybe I can't fight but that doesn't mean I can't protect myself. Don't worry, I'm smarter than I look.' Neoki laughed, trying to ease the mood. Randi smiled back, but he was still worried. The two walked back to find Kendyll safe and sound. But Randi was not easily reassured. His sister could have died. Neoki was all he had left. He would never let anyone hurt her. Never.

  22. Cabi had been searching for berries for hours, but found nothing. Her webbed paws made the grass rustle loudly, but she assumed it was safe near the tribes territory, and she didn't have to worry. She was wrong. 'Maybe I should have brought someone with me.' she sighed as she swiped a paw at yet another poisonous berry bush. 'It would have made this ten times less boring.' Suddenly a rustle echeod from the grasses. Cabi stiffened, but relaxed when she realized it was a creauture. He had sickly yellow fur, and his smile didn't reach his eyes. 'Hello.' was all he said. Cabi shifted slightly. For some reason he made her feel uncomfortable. 'Hello! Who are you? Would you like to join our tribe?' Cabi said enthusiasticly, not wanting to be rude to the stranger. 'I'm already part of your tribe. Your leader, Lilit let me stay. I was just exploring when I came across you. My names Deat.' he smiled. 'Oh. My names Cabi. Well you can help me pick berries then-' Cabi was interrupted by the snarl of a bearyena. It barreled her over. Deats eyes widened as he backed away a few steps. 'I'll go get the rest of the tribe.' he said fearfully, and ran off. Cabi stared up at the bearyena. It lunged at her again, and she yelped. She couldn't hold it off by herself. It clawed her leg, but she manages to scramble up on a rock. She shivered, and stayed there. Eventually, she heard Neoki, and Randi with Deat. The bearyena was tired from waiting around under the rock, so it fled when the creatures chased it. 'You took your time Deat! The camp isn't even that far away!' Cabi felt like crying, and she was still bleeding. 'Be grateful I even came at all!' he spat, before he caught Neoki fixing him with a glare. 'let's get you to the healing fruit Cabi.' Neoki helped Cabi walk. Cabi didn't know where Deat went, but he didn't walk home with them. ~ Lilit sighed and looked out to sea. Had it always been so hard to see ahead of her? She knew her eyes were failing her, and so was the rest of her body. She was getting old. She turned around at the sound of her two kits, playing with each other nearby. 'Neoki, Randi, please come here.' Lilit said, and they both immediately came over. Neoki had a worried look in her eyes. 'I'm old. My time will be soon, but I wanted you both to know I love you, okay?' They both nodded, tears in their eyes. 'But there's something else I have to say. Ifi has grown a bit senile in his old age. He is stuck in his ways, that the strongest must be leader. You Neoki, are not physically strong. You never were, but you are very strong of the mind. But he can't see that. Just be careful, all right?'. Neoki nodded again. 'I will be mother, I promise.' 'And you Randi.' Lilit bumped noses with her youngest kit. 'You take care of her.' They all sat down and watched Lilit last sunset together. The next morning, they thought they would be given time to mourn. But Ifi immediately came over. 'Neoki, you... Are leader now.' there was slight anger in Ifis voice, but he was good at hiding it. 'I am. Why did you want to come over?' Neoki asked, standing up but her paws shook a little. 'Don't mess this up.' Ifi leaned in close. 'I will not let you lead my tribe to ruin.' Neoki wanted to take a step back, but she wouldn't. 'My tribe now. Not yours. And I'll do everything to keep it safe.' she said slowly. Ifi snorted and walked off. ~ Fess was walking back from a successful berry picking. There was a spring in her step, and she couldnt wait to show everyone how she was helping the tribe. King had to go help Lupo with something, but Fess assured him she could handle this on her own. She heard pawsteps coming forward. 'King?' she called out. She couldn't recognise people by their pawsteps just yet, so she guessed. 'Not King. Deat.' A voice sneered. Fess froze and dropped the berries. She took a step away from where his voice was. 'The little princess can't see? What a shame.' 'Deat.' she snarled. 'What are you doing here? Weren't you enjoying life on the island you forced our Queen to stay in?' 'Oh I was. Before the queen found out it was me and two other creatures that killed her little princess. The two others drowned, but fortunately for us, we are both good swimmers, eh?' Deat spoke as if he was laughing slightly, and Fess hated it. 'I didn't think you were still alive Princess.' 'Don't call me that. I'm not a princess, not anymore.' Fess straightened up to her full height. She wouldn't let Deat intimidate her. Suddenly she heard more pawsteps. For only a second, she was scared it was the other two creatures, that they didn't drown and they were here to finish the job. But then she heard King's familiar voice and relaxed slightly. 'Who are you?' King asked, but he didn't sound too happy. 'I'm part of this tribe now. Call me Deat.' 'Don't trust him!' Fess said quickly. 'he was on my old island, he was the one who tried to kill me.' At that, King quickly bounded forward to Fess and growled at Deat. He stood protectively at Fess' side. He was about to tell Deat to get lost, but Fess put her paw down. 'The little Princess doesn't need to be protected anymore?' Deat said patronisingly. 'I got this King.' Fess whispered. She was smaller that King, but when she straightened up to her full height, a commanding tone in her voice, she looked no less intimidating that King was. 'I'm not a princess anymore Deat. I don't know who invited you to this tribe, and I don't care. Stay out of my way and we won't have a problem, I want to leave everything that happened on my old island behind. But if you even come near me... Then we have a problem.' Deat scowled, unused to the fact that Fess was standing up for herself in a way that didn't involve threats about the queen dealing with him. King growled again, and Deat left. 'Thank you King.' Fess sighed. She didn't notice it earlier, but she was trembling. 'Thank you? He sounded surprised. Fess, you did everything.' he leaned in and gave her a hug. It made Fess feel all warm inside. 'Yes, well I could not "do everything" without you being here.' she smiled. 'Guess I'm not useless after all.' King grinned. 'Oh be quiet!' Fess nudged him, but she was smiling as well.

  23. I got my girlfriend to play niche. Here I will detail the shenanigans we get into— minus screenshots, because my computer is still being stubborn. she’s starting off questionably she dunked Adam in the ocean for a day by accident and she took quite a while to get off the two tutorial islands and sort of forgot to have enough children so she has about five nichelings and all of them are siblings we have not come across any wanderers. she also refuses to clear grass for whatever reason, so she’s not gathering any nesting material at all and it’s stressing me out lmao

  31. Mira looked down at the little bundle of orange fur in her nest. Calypso was a rich orange, and Mira felt like she would be an able runner when she grew up. She reminded Mira of her home, the savannah. Mira turned towards the sound of Lupo coming back from his hunt. ‘Lupo, have you seen Ifi at all today?’ She asked. Ifi wasn’t the leader anymore, and he was getting quite senile, but she still thought he might want to see the second mixed tribe child that wasn’t born out of necessity. Lupo shook his head. ‘I haven’t. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Neoki or Randi either. Maybe those three are finally getting along. He hasn’t really treated them like his children since Neoki became leader.’ Lupo went over and bumped noses with Calypso, to which she gave a delighted squeak. Mira frowned. Ifi was ancient, but also unapologetic, she doubted he would want to right past wrongs now. He wasn’t the type to do that. He hated the fact that Neoki, who was physically weak, was now the leader. Mira doubted if the rest of the tribe actually cared, but Ifi seemed to find it important. Calypso gave another squeak, and Mira shook her head. Now wasn’t the time to think of such things. She smiled at her family. ‘Well if you do see him, call him over anyway.’ Mira smiled. Lupo nodded and smiled back at her. ~ Cane was shaking like a leaf. Every few seconds he considered dropping the flower he had in his mouth, and running, but somehow he managed to stay. Take deep breaths. He breathed in, and walked over to where Cheri was beside the stream. She was running her paw absentmindedly in the water. ‘Hello.’ Cane said. It’s not like he had anything better to say, but even that came out shaky. Well at least the flower muffled his voice slightly. Cheri yelped and jumped back, almost falling into the stream. ‘Don’t scare me like that! I almost fell in and drowned!’ She joked. She looked down at the flower in his mouth and a sly grin slid onto her face. ‘Who’s that for?’ She teased. ‘You.’ Cane felt like he was about to melt. ‘Can we be mates?’ Cheri’s eyes widened, but she grinned. ‘Sure.’ Cheri opened her mouth to say more, but a call from the tree stump interrupted her. It was Neoki, she was calling for a tribe meeting. Cane and Cheri swapped confused glances, but ran to the stump together. ~ (A little earlier) ‘Wait here.’ Neoki said to Randi with all the confidence she didn’t feel. They were outside where Ifi usually slept. Neoki didn’t particularly like the father she never talked to, but he was clever enough, and maybe he could make sense of the situation. She walked in, and found he was sleeping. At the sound of her pawsteps, he stirred but kept his eyes closed. ‘Did you finish the job Deat? Took you long enough’ Ifi muttered. Neoki froze. What job? If Ifi found out she wasn’t Deat, she might never find out. Besides, she was all too suspicious of everyone after Deat had just tried to kill her. She quietly cleared her throat and did her best to make her voice sound deep and raspy. ‘Yeah. All done’ She didn’t say much. Less chance of being discovered. Right now, she was thanking all the spirits above, and all the Gods she didn’t really believe existed that Ifi was slightly hard of hearing. If he could hear well, she would have been found out immediately. ‘Hmm. Good. Now Randi will be leader. Never really liked him, but I liked that weak brat even less. You can go now, I won’t try and kill you again.’ Ifi said. That last part must have been a joke. Surely. Neoki knew in her heart that it wasn’t. Suddenly all the pieces of the puzzle slid together. ‘Father?’ She felt herself say weakly. Ifi’s eyes snapped open, but all he saw was Neoki’s eyes narrowing, and her running off. He got up to go after her, but Randi stopped him, snarling. Neoki jumped up onto the tree stump, and called for a tribe meeting. Someone wanted her dead. And it wasn’t Deat. ~ (Now) Most of the tribe was pretty close, so they all gathered within the minute. Randi was back beside her, and Ifi was nearby as well. His eyes were full of malice. Neoki called for silence, taking a deep breath. ‘Someone has made an attempt on my life.’ Immediately everyone burst into confused and worried murmurs. Suspicious eyes looked to Randi, as he was still covered in blood. ‘But it wasn’t Randi.’ She felt herself blurt out. Unprofessional, she knew, but she wasn’t going to let anyone think Randi had tried to hurt her. Neoki explained everything. How Deat attacked her. How Randi protected her. The scars they found on Deat, made by a creature. The things Ifi said. And finally, what she thought this all meant. ‘I think Ifi hurt Deat so bad, he could have died. He threatened Deat to do a task for him, or else he would leave him there.If Deat agreed to the deal, Ifi would tell him where the healing plant was. Deat had to agree, as he was new and didn’t know where the healing plant was. The deal was that Deat would kill me, for Ifi.’ The crowd went silent. It made sense. Heads slowly turned towards Ifi. Ifi knew he was done for. He couldn’t win, but maybe he could take someone down with him. Make Neoki pay. ‘Tell me, what is the penalty for murder?’ Ifi said, his voice dripping with fake sweetness. ‘Death.’ Neoki answered without hesitation. It was a crude law, but just, as it discouraged anyone from trying to do such a horrible thing. The tribe law had not been changed since Talian’s time, it was that old. ‘Then me and Randi shall have to die.’ Ifi said in mock sorrow. ‘Randi?! He’s innocent!’ Neoki’s face twisted into a scowl at Ifi’s words. It looked wrong on her too-young face. ‘Did you forget he killed Deat?’ Ifi hissed, his voice full of venom. ‘That was different! He-’ Neoki started saying, but Randi interrupted her. ‘Yeah! That was different! I was only protecting my sister!’ Randi snarled. There was rage in his eyes. ‘You could have protected her by restraining him. But you didn’t. You killed him. You -as well as I- are guilty!’ Ifi spat. Neoki’s head was spinning. That was different! She was trying to collect her thoughts when someone behind her interrupted the argument. It was Kendyll. ‘They both are guilty of murder and attempted murder. Circumstances don’t matter. The tribe law is clear.’ Kendyll said. Neoki cursed him. He always stuck so rigidly to the rules. She was sure that if it was his family, he wouldn’t act like this. ‘Randi is still young! Death is too harsh!’ She said desperately. ‘Actions have consequences.’ Kendyll said in monotone. The tribe seemed to be split. Some murmured their agreement, while others loudly disagreed. Neoki couldn’t let the tribe split, but she couldn’t let her brother die either. Everything was too loud, the arguing, the disagreeing. A thought came to Neoki’s head. It was not what she would wish for, ever, but it was better than death. ‘Randi is too young for death.’ She repeated. Her voice was trembling. ‘So instead of death…he should permanently leave the tribe.’ The rest of the tribe agreed. Death was too harsh. But all Neoki could see was the betrayal gleaming in her brother’s eyes. ‘I should be exiled too. My crime is as serious as his.’ Ifi leapt at his chance. Neoki glared at him. ‘Fine!’ She snapped. ‘Just go!’ Ifi took his chance, and ran. Ifi was old, it would be a miracle if he survived two days outside of camp. She tried to turn to Randi. Tried to explain to him that this was all she could do. But Randi looked as if he made up his mind. ‘I protected you! And now you're exiling me?! Well I'll make you pay! I'll make you all pay!’ Randi screamed, as he turned away, tears in his eyes. Neoki could only watch as Randi disappeared into the unknown. The crowd dispersed behind her. Someone patted her shoulder. She didn’t realise Fess was calling her name until the third time she said it. But Neoki didn’t turn to Fess. She kept staring, and she felt as cold and empty as the wilderness on this deadly isle.
