(Kind of short update) Randi padded through the wet grass. His rage hadn’t lessened over those few moons, at the tribe that had exiled him. But then again rage didn’t fill your belly. Randi dropped down into a crouch, stalking a rabbit. Back when he was with the tribe he never had to worry about food, but now he didn’t even know when he would get his next meal. He was much, much thinner than earlier, and he was so hungry right now it almost made him sick. He just had to catch this rabbil…. Suddenly, something scared the rabbil away. Randi still leapt forward, trying to catch it, but he failed. Instead, he found a bearyena stalking quietly in the grass. After one fear-filled moment, Randi realised it wasn’t stalking him. It was facing away from him, looking at a dodomingo. Randi tried to quietly sneak away, but that stupid bird had to squawk and run off. The bearyena snarled and looked around, its eyes locking on Randi. For a second, they stood there, their eyes locked. And then Randi sprinted away. The rain was almost a storm now, and Randi cursed it. He could barely see ahead of him, but he knew the bearyena was following him. As he was running he didn’t notice the boulder looming ahead of him. He ran into it, the impact throwing him to the ground. His snout hurt like crazy, and he was sure it was bleeding, but he ran forward and jumped onto the rock, ignoring the pain. It was only thanks to how thin he was that he was able to scramble up onto the rock. He sat there in the rain as the bearyena circled him. More slowly came out of the grass, the scent of blood attracting them. Randi whimpered and curled himself further up. He hated feeling so powerless, so scared. It wasn’t the first time that he started cursing the tribe that exiled him. ~ Kendyll looked calmly out to sea. He was sitting on the beach, Alia playing nearby. Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, it looked as if it was going to rain. Maybe a storm. He walked over to Alia and picked her up by the scruff. She protested a little but he ignored her. As they were walking home, Alia started complaining about something or another, and since Kenny kept ignoring her she wriggled out of his grasp and ran. ‘Alia.’ He called after her, forced to run in her direction. The rain started coming down gently. ‘Come back here!’ Irritation crept into Kendyll’s voice. Alia always did this! She never listened! Just before Kendyll reached her, he heard a squeak, and Alia disappeared from view. He ran forward, alarmed, and saw a river where Alia was barely hanging onto a branch on the bank. The rain came down harder now. Kendyll could hear the worried calls of his mother and father. He couldn’t answer them, as he leant down and tried to pick Alia up. He just about managed to set her down on the bank, when it gave out from under him, the rain making everything slippery and dangerous. Alia screamed and tried to catch him, but Kendyll had already slipped down. The cold water surrounded him, silt stopping him from seeing, water filling his eyes his ears his nose. He struggled up and caught a breath of air before being pulled down again. The water started tasting salty. The part of his brain that wasn’t petrified to the point of not working, realised he must be out at sea now. He pushed back up, and this time managed to stay above the water. The shore wasn’t far away, but the storm raged all around him, trying to pull him down forever. Kendyll gasped for air and tried to swim forward, but he was too weak. Did something grab at his back paw? The world started to go grey. Kendyll pawed uselessly at the water, but it didn’t stop him from sinking down, down, down…. After the storm The moment Shee spotted him, he bolted forward, calling everyone over. Kenny, his Kenny was lying on the beach, unmoving apart from an occasional shiver. Strangely enough, the moment Shee reached him, Kendyll slowly turned towards him. Shee hefted Kendyll onto his back, making sure to avoid the spikes, just as Meda came over. ‘Im fine…’ Kendyll quietly protested, but everyone believed that wasn’t true. Meda comforted her son as they walked back to camp. Cabi had become the resident healer, during the time she was here, and she looked him over. She shook her head, puzzled. ‘He must have been thrown out onto shore pretty early. Apart from bumps and scrapes, he’s not injured. There doesn’t look to be any water in his lungs either. He’ll be fine in a couple of days.’ Cabi said slowly. Was he really thrown out onto shore early? Kendyll didn’t know, but he honestly didn’t care. He was alive. And the air had never tasted so sweet. Alia hung around nearby, guiltily looking at her paws. Kendyll gave her a weak smile, and Alia’s eyes widened in surprise. Kendyll almost never smiled. She bounded forward and curled up against him to warm him up. He didn’t push her away. ~ Thanks to all the commotion, Tor’s and Ista's births were overlooked mostly. Tor was a big kit, and strong for his age. Calypso immediately walked up to him and hugged him, to which he squeaked loudly. ‘He’s too young for playing.’ Mira chuckled. ‘Aw.’ Calypso frowned at the little kit. ‘Well, I’ll play with you when you’re older, then.’ Ista didn't really respond much. Her parents would coo at her, but she would only react when she saw them moving, or their paws were moving. Cabi checked on her, and confirmed the kit was deaf. Cane frowned a little, already worried for her, but Cheri reassured him. Ista would be happy, they would make it happen.1 point

It had been a few moons since the exiling, and life had returned to normal. Kendyll looked down at his sister, squirming in the nest, her fur a bright orange. Mother told him to meet her, but he was already counting the seconds until he could leave. He didn’t really get the point of spending time with a kit, they were too young for anything, really. ‘Me and your father thought that Alia would be a good name. What do you think?’ Meda said, her eyes filled with love as she looked at Alia. ‘That sounds good.’ Kendyll said, trying to keep the boredom out of his voice. He would much prefer to be doing something useful for the tribe. Mother always said he worked much too hard for a creature his age, but Kendyll didn’t think so. He always went to Neoki to ask what needed doing, even though it was quite obvious she detested his presence. He didn’t mind. ‘Kenny, is everything alright?’ Meda asked. Her voice was slightly concerned, a small frown forming on her face. ‘Everything is fine. You are always worrying for no reason Mother.’ Kendyll didn’t really like the nickname his mother used for him, but it seemed to make her happy, so he let her use it. ‘You’re much too uptight. From now on you have to spend some time every day with Alia. She’s such a happy kit, maybe you’ll start to relax a bit. You’re too young to act like this.’ Meda said firmly. It would do her son some good, to relax and take things easy. She was much more worried than she let on, really. Kenny didn’t act like either of his parents in the slightest, he barely showed any emotion, and he rigidly stuck to the rules. His mind was always on helping the tribe, and Meda had frayed her nerves trying to figure out why. She hoped this would help, though she wasn’t blind, and saw the flicker of irritation in Kendyll’s eyes. But he didn’t complain. He never complained. That worried her the most. ~ King trotted towards where Fess usually stayed. It was one specific berry bush that she claimed had better tasting berries than anywhere else. So she claimed. He arrived at the bush, his tail swishing calmly on the ground, but she wasn’t there. A quick glance around, and he saw her rooting around in a flower patch headfirst. Normally he would have teased her about how silly she looked, rooting around like that, but his mouth was full with what he was carrying. King made a loud humming noise, and Fess immediately shot up out of the patch. Her face was covered in pollen, and some flowers were stuck to her fur, and King couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He dropped the thing he was holding, and went to pick it up. ‘Oh, King.’ Fess smiled, before quickly looking like she just remembered something important. ‘Uh, go away.’ ‘What? why?’ King smirked, but his voice was muffled. There was no meanness in Fess’s voice, and once he said that, she started rooting even faster. King quickly stiffened though, as he smelt something on the wind. Fess smelt it too, and shot up, already taking a few wary steps back nearer to the camp. But she wasn’t quick enough. A snarling bearyena leapt out at them, going for Fess. King immediately dropped what he was holding, and with a roar he threw himself at the bearyena. It snarled and fought back, but it was half starved and quickly realised it wasn’t winning this fight. It ran off whining, and King stood triumphant, his chest puffed out. ‘HA’ He exclaimed. Fess walked towards his voice. ‘If you’ve gotten yourself hurt in any way, I’m gonna finish off that bearyenas job.’ Fess said, half-joking, half-actually worried. As she walked she tripped over what King was holding. She sniffed the air, and a look of puzzlement crossed her face. ‘That's domingo meat. My favourite. What’s it doing here?’ ‘I actually got it for you. Yeah.’ King saud, awkwardly shuffling his paws for a second. Fess raised an eyebrow and started laughing. ‘I got something for you too! Let me find it.’ Fess sniffed around and finally picked up a flower. It was a dull greyish blue colour, and looked slightly wilted. ‘I’m sorry, but I had no clue whether it looked nice or not, so here you go, it’s your problem now.’ King grinned and they swapped gifts. ‘It looks great! Thanks.’ He didn’t really care for the flower, he cared more about the fact that Fess gave it to him. He tucked it behind his ear. ‘So uh, I gave that to you because I wanted to tell you something.’ ‘Me too actually’ Fess gave a nervous smile. ‘Let's say it together?’ ‘Do you want to be my mate?’ Fess said quickly. ‘Can we be mates?’ King sputtered. They both stood still for a moment before laughing out loud. ‘WHO would ever want to be mates with YOU?’ Fess joked sarcastically. ‘You, apparently.’ King hugged her, a grin on his face. They walked back to the camp together, laughing and joking the entire way. ~ Neoki sat and sighed. She was sorting rocks. Again. For the fifth time that day. It had been months, why couldn’t she stop feeling like this? Sorting rocks brought her some peace at least. She felt like she could make things right and in perfect order. She had finished all the duties of leader that she was unprepared for, for the day. She pointedly ignored the steps padding closer to her, thinking it was Kendyll. ‘Neoki? You’re here, right?’ It was Fess’s voice. Neoki sighed and turned around. At least she didn't have to fake confidence with Fess, Fess couldn't see Neoki’s unhappy face. All she had to do was keep her voice cheerful. ‘Here. Do you need anything?’ She asked quickly, kicking the rocks away. Fess smiled. ‘No. I just wished to talk to you. How are you feeling?’ Fess said, and Neoki stopped herself from groaning. Sometimes creatures asked her this, and she always felt frustrated. She didn’t know! ‘Fine.’ Neoki lied. Fess saw right through her. She went and sat down beside Neoki, and Neoki leant against the older creature. At that moment Fess was quiet. She began to speak, quietly. ‘You know Neoki, I know more than most about what it’s like being leader. And from what I know, It’s lonely.’ Fess gently leant against Neoki. ‘And you don’t have to do this alone. All leaders need help.’ Neoki knew Fess wasn’t just talking about being leader. She was talking about how Neoki was alone now, Randi exiled by her own word. ‘Thank you.’ She whispered to Fess. ‘I promise I’ll remember that.’ She didn’t feel truly fixed, but there was that little part of her that felt better at Fess’s words.1 point

Here are a couple of fun little things I thought about. Feel free to share your own ideas or suggest ways to improve mine. The first one is pretty simple: More interactivity Basically just more things to do on the nest areas. -an oak tree that works the same way as the berry bush (you can shake it by tapping it and the acorns fall off) -plants that shake when you touch them -little bugs or other critters that fly or run away when you poke them The other two are mini games. The first is a bit simpler, while the second could be a bit hard to implement. The first idea is that you have to fend off rabbils from berry bushes or alternatively dodomingos from nests. Basically whack a mole with moving targets. When you run out of berries (or all the nests are occupied) you get scored by the amount of intruders you managed to keep away The other minigame idea I have would be a lot harder to implement. It's "boss battles" for each biome so in the grasslands you would have a bearyena, in the savannah you'd have whatever the predator there is called and in the snow biome you'd have a balance bear. The battle itself would take place on a small grid consisting of hexagons similiar to the main game. The predator would spawn in the middle and three nichelings of your choise would spawn on the tiles around it. Every nicheling as well as the predator has a health bar. When a nicheling's health reaches 0, it's out of the battle and will get the bleeding effect. The nichelings would have different options like move, attack and heal (for nichelings with purrsnout). There is an infinite amount of moves, but every three moves you make the boss gets to make a move as well. If all of your nichelings are out, you loose. If you defeat the enemy, you win and are rewarded with a mutagen.1 point
