  1. 'Alright then. Let's go.' He said quickly, turning right around. He walked quickly, eager to get the swamp back in sight again. He walked, but there was still nothing. His heart gave a cry of fear. What would happen to him out here? To the others? There was nothing out here, nothing! When some trees appeared in the distance, he thought he'd cry with relief. 'Well, we're here.' He said to the new nichelings. He saw Guiding and Fangs in the distance. But no Nervous guy. 'W-where's Nervous Guy?' he asked, turning around to the others, trying to stay calm.
  2. The spirit walked off as quickly as she approached. Thief was beginning to feel a little light headed. There was so much nichelings here! He began to feel the familiar anxiety welling up in him. Now at least, he knew it came from the fact that last time he was around a group of nichelings, they broke his paw. It wasn't Thief's job to collect them all anyway. 'Are you coming with us to the swamp, or no?' he asked the rude nicheling. He wanted to get back quickly, because he couldn't see the swamp anymore from here. He knew it was in that general direction, but what if he had lost it? Getting lost in a forever repeating landscape gave him chills. But we're not lost. He reassured himself.
  3. Also can I just say the colours on this are so fiebrkjfoxbrjodbfbeidjd
  4. 'Alright then.' He agreed. Javai led the way, and he smelt the tribe's scents, but they were still very far away. At least a day's travel, if not more. 'They're pretty far away. It will take a little while to get to them.' He said out loud.
  5. This isn't dead I promise, it's just school and life in general have been getting me down a little, and I couldn't find the time or motivation to continue this. Hopefully I'll post within the next few days.
  6. How did you finish this so quickly 0_o Like I haven't even started mine

    Alright thank you. Just one question, to make it different from the lake territory, I make the lighting darker or lighter?

    Is this still on? If so, I finally taught myself how to animate, and I'd be happy to do part 5. (by two legs you mean humans, right? Lol I know nothing)
  9. Thief nodded at the spirit. 'Alright then. Let's go.' Thief walked as fast as he could over. 'Uh, hi. Are you hurt?' he asked the spirit. Nothing seemed to be hurting them, they were just screaming. Thief cast a glance over at Sharp, meaning he had no idea what to do.
  10. (I guess? If you want to, then yeah)
  11. 'There we go. You're much more useful to yourself when youre calm.' Javai followed Star, sniffing for the tribe. He smelt a bit more than Star did, due to his big nose. 'I think they went that way.' He pointed towards a thicket of bushes.
  12. '...Thank you Sharp.' Thief smiled again, and this time it was a genuine smile. He leaned against Sharp for a second and gave him a quick hug. Thief still felt like it was his fault, but he felt so much better after telling someone. It was like a weight was lifted off his heart. He didn't have to face this alone. Thief heard the screech as well, and turned towards the sound. 'I mean, yeah!?' he answered Sharps question. The swamp was within sight now. 'Hey, uh Nervous guy? Could you take the kid over to guiding in the swamp? Or you can come with us if you like. I'm gonna go check out who that is. Sharp, are going back to the swamp or coming with me?' @Chiyanna
  13. 'Hey! Calm down, we'll look for them, alright? Breathe, panicking won't help you.' Javai spoke calmly, trying to calm Star down. 'They wouldn't abandon you. You're their future leader. A bearyena or something must have attacked, and they had to leave.' Javai wasn't exactly sure of that, but it was possible. 'Does your tribe move around a lot? Do you know where they were heading next?'
  14. (Well you are all the way across the map, and my character wouldn't really follow yours, so yeah)
  15. 'Fine.' He muttered. 'Just had a... Strange memory flash.' for a second Thief considered whether or not to tell Sharp. But Thief needed to get it out, and he trusted Sharp. He took a deep breath. 'You know that nightmare I had earlier. When I ran into the swamp? It was about a group of nichelings who called me horrible things, and said I deserved this, then they broke my paw. I thought it was because I did something awful, and i was right.' Thiefs voice was bitter. 'Just now I had a memory flash where someone attacked me and a nicheling I knew. I tried to fight off the attacker, and I was angry and I tried to push him off a cliff. But the nicheling I knew tried to stop me, and I accidentally pushed them off the cliff instead. I deserved this.' Thief lifted his paw. Then he hung his head in shame. 'I understand if you don't want anything to do with me anymore.' 'I'm sure you'll remember soon. I've been slowly getting my memories back, and others have as well.' Thief tried to smile, heading towards the swamp.
  16. 'Really? And which god did you follow?' he asked. He was glad the young nicheling seemed a bit less scared now. Thief turned to the others, checking if they were all ready to go back.
  17. 'I... Of course.' Thief smiled. 'I'm sure you were a good follower, I'm sure you'll go to him after this is all over.' Lying made him feel bad, but this nicheling needed to be reassured, needed to be told there was something more than this dark and empty landscape. And who knows, maybe she will go to Dukur. Thief didn't know himself where he would go after all this. Would he just... Stop existing? He didn't know whether he believed in any gods when he was alive. 'Do you want to go to the swamp?'
  18. Thief flinched. 'Sorry! I'm sorry!' he said quickly, shrinking back into himself. Sharp said he didn't mean to say that. 'I-It's fine. I understand. I kind of deserved that. I shouldn't have been arguing.' Thief spoke quickly, and he tried to smile, but it looked strained. 'Listen, we should just... Let's just get the new nicheling back to the swamp.' He said, turning back to the new one. 'we're going back to the swamp, there's more nichelings there. Do you want to come? It'll be safer.' Thief asked her. He tried to appear friendly, though she probably wasn't very convinced because of all the arguments that had been going on. I'll get her to the swamp. Then I'll go and be alone. Alone. Alone. Alone. Thief thought of the words over and over again. He felt like he was pulled tight, and if one more thing happened he would snap. Why did he have to be so insufferable? He didn't blame Sharp for getting mad, of course he did. And the memory kept replaying in Thief's head, making him feel even worse.
  19. 'You could practice fighting and defending yourself in secret. Who said you have to follow the rules.' Javai grinned. When Star said they were almost where the tribe was, Javai was a little confused. 'I hear nothing. Are you sure they're nearby?' Star asked some question to pass the time, but Javai was growing a bit more worried about this tribe every second. 'My favourite food is food.' He said, before walking a bit ahead. Still nothing.
  20. Thief bristled. He knew the other spirit was being completely unreasonable. He knew this. And yet he burned with anger at her. For a second he thought of leaping at her, driving her face into the dirt, before he realised just how violent that thought was. He turned away, his rage fading into shame. Suddenly he was somewhere else. His eyes flashed a bright red. He was in a meadow. A cliff nearby. An older nicheling beside him. She had dark fur, purple eyes. She was smiling at him. There was another nicheling nearby. He walked up. Started yelling. Why was he yelling? The nicheling beside him tried to walk away, but the one who approached them unsheathed his claws. He was raising them towards the dark nicheling! Before he knew what he was doing, he launched himself at the attacker, rage burning like a fire inside him. He fought with the attacker, but he knew he was losing. A spit of the moment thought made its way through him, the cliff, just push him off the cliff! He moved quickly, and just as the attacker was about to fall off, the dark nicheling ran forward. 'NO!' she screamed, trying to stop him. But Thief was already going too quickly, and before he knew it, the dark nicheling toppled over the cliff as she tried to push the attacker out of the way. Thief stopped fighting. He felt hollow. That nicheling was important to him, he knew that, and now she was gone. The attacker gave a sneer, and brought Thief with him. Thief didn't know where they were going. The memory ended as suddenly as it started. Thief felt awful. Is this why he was banished and hurt by his tribe? He pushed the memory away for a second. Think about it later. He turned back to the others, all trace of anger and sadness gone from his face. 'I think we should get back to the swamp.'
  21. 'It's called trying to be kind to and reassure a nicheling younger than yourself, even though you don't have all the answers. You probably wouldn't know what that is.' He snapped. 'Besides, wherever you go afterwards is surely better than here.'
  22. 'What?! How am I a liar!' Thief whisper yelled at her. He didn't usually feel angry, he usually tried to calm himself. Now rage sprung up in him because of those words.
  23. 'Do you have any other family? Aunts, uncles, cousins? Anyone who could take the role if you left? It's your life. To be forced into a role you don't want, and then to live like that for the rest of your life is... I can't imagine something like that.' Javai frowned. He felt bad for Star. 'Rational thoughts are rarely ever my first choice.' He said deadpan. 'Sometimes what it takes to survive isn't always rational.' 'Are we anywhere close to where you think your tribe might be?' he asked. They had been walking for a while.
