Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Ten young nichelings arrived on a strange island, their confusion high. Many of them had been exhausted from the journey, and started heading for higher ground. Welcome to the Lands of Leyah. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 After some well-deserved rest, the young ones started clearing the area around them. While doing so, an orange-topped nicheling struck up a conversation. “Hey wing boy, what’s your name?” The winged male lifted his head and looked over, unfocused gaze unable to meet her eyes. “My name? I’m Zapp! What about you?” “Hook, daughter of Tripwire.” She turned her gaze to the orange female. “How about you?” “Hankar.” “That’s an.. Interesting name. Can either of you two pick berries?” Hankar shook her head, and Zapp silently raised his wings. “I’ll take that as a no. Well then, should we go hunt bunnils instead?” “One step ahead of ya!” Hankar turned and darted off into the grass, giving no time for a response. The other two quickly followed after, not wanting to be left in the dust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 “One flower, two flower, three flower, four. How many flowers is there to adore?” “A lot. Are you really going to sit there and count all of the flowers?” They stared at each other in silence, and then the spotted male gave a sweet smile. “Yup! I’ll count all of the flowers and then tell mom how many I saw!” “Your mom’s gone. They’re all gone.” “Yeah… But we’ll find them again soon! I know we will!” “I highly doubt that. You can’t know something until you see it, dumbo.” “I’m not dumb..” “Sure, keep telling yourself that.” The male looked down at his paws for a few moments before lifting his head again. “I’m Voice! What’s your name?” “Why do you need to know?” The female narrowed her eyes, lifting her head a little higher to try and make herself look more intimidating. “I want to know so I can call you by your name!” “That makes sense, I guess… I’m Taste. Don’t wear it out.” “Alrighty! Nice meeting you, Taste!” Voice smiled and went back to counting his flowers. Taste rolled her eyes, then turned and walked away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 “Honeystain.” .. “What?” The two females stared at each other in silence. After a few heartbeats, the venom-fanged female cleared her throat. “I’m Honeystain. My name. Yup.” “Okay..? Uhm.. I’m Balance. Was there something you needed?” “You have a pretty name.” “Thanks… I’m going to get back to picking berries now.” Balance scooted away a bit before returning to trying to pick berries. Honeystain watched, not paying attention to the berries she was also trying to pick. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 There’s pretty much nothing to note here, it’s just Tick, Tock, and Caramel staring out at the water. Just dudes being bros, amiright? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Once Voice had finished counting the flowers, he went over to a nearby crabbit. He lay down in the sand and smiled down at the creature. “Hi! What’s your name?” … “Don’t wanna talk? That’s okay! My name is Voice, and I’ll call you Daisy for now, okay?” … “Don’t worry, I won’t claw at ya. Do you want to come see the other creatures here? It’ll be fun!” … The crabbit clicked its pinchers together. “I’ll take that as a yes!” Voice leaned forward and carefully picked up the crabbit with his one arm, doing his best to balance on just his back legs. And off they go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 See, this is what happens when silly little authors don’t pay attention! You can bet the rogue got clawed in the face a few times though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 “Why are you carrying that thing around?” Voice looked up to see Caramel, the leader, glaring down at the crabbit. “She’s my friend! We’re counting bushes together! That one behind you makes five!” “Put it down. We don’t need that thing stealing our food.” “But what if she gets lost?” “Who cares? Let it go before it becomes our dinner.” Voice stayed silent for a few moments before carefully setting Daisy down. He ushered her towards the water, keeping an eye on Caramel to make sure she wouldn’t be harmed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 “Hi.” Oh great.. “Hello. What’s wrong?” “Nothing… Are you doing okay?” “Yeah. Why do you ask?” “I was just wondering. Bye.” Honeystain turned and ran off before Balance could even reply. “Goodbye, I guess..?” She picked at some grass, getting lost in thought again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hankar sat in the nest, every fiber of her body wanting so badly to claw at her own stomach. Why her? Why nobody else? Why did she have to suffer? The footsteps of another creature snapped her out of her thoughts, and she looked up to see Voice. “Are you alright? You look a bit down.” “I look down..? Are you trying to mock me?” “No, not at all! I just wanted to make sure you were okay!” Hankar glared at him for a moment before curling up in the nest. “Yeah, I’m fine.” “Are you sure?” She turned her head and growled at him. “Of course I’m not okay! Everyone keeps looking at me weird because I’m going to have a rogue child! I didn’t want this, why do I have to be the problem?!” His ears went flat against his head, but he reached a paw out to one of hers. “You aren’t a problem… I won’t look at you weird if you don’t look at me weird.” … “Okay… But what if I’m not a good mom?..” “I can help! I might not be a good dad but I can try!” She looked down at his paw, then gave a small smile. “Thanks…” “No problem! If I can help then I will! That’s a promise.” 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloude Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 The next day, a small, semi-deformed bundle lay between Hankar’s paws. “What are you going to name her?” Hankar stared blankly at the cub for a few moments before tilting her head slightly. “Anaice?” “That’s good!” “Right..” She curled her tail around the cub and lay down. “I’m going to take a nap. Can you make sure nothing happens?” “Yup! I’ll keep an eye on her.” And so, Hankar took her much needed nap. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloude Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 “Where are we even going?” “On an adventure!” “Yeah! Adventures are fun!” Taste rolled her eyes with a small growl. “And why did you have to drag me along?” “You wanted to come with us! Don’t get mad at us!” “I’ll do whatever I want, hun.” “Hun..?” “Don’t you dare try to think that was a flirt. I was being rude, keep in at that.” “Whatever you say, Queen Taste!” “Ooh, she’s a queen? Can I be the royal jester?” “No! I’m not a queen! Just- UGH.” She threw her paw up in frustration, then turned and continued walking. After some giggles, the other two followed along. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
