They cannot worship Flame, but I suppose they have been deceived by Lace, goddess of the drowned and rogue males.

The legends of immortal spirits have spread far across the land.

Yarrowspark, a forbidden child between a mountain nicheling and a rogue male, aswell as Strifestep, a disagreeable young fisher, were drawn to them. Up close, the island of legend looks like Texas. Who knew

Strifestep isn't happy with Yarrowbark's meager offerings. Against his warnings, she looks for more food alone.

20190330_170438.thumb.jpg.828d67fe9dcfcf9491b0dfb9a9cf6655.jpg

She doesn't know how to fight

But neither does the fiend, it seems

They're back to where they started. Out of food, but at least together. Will she learn to value him more, now?

The two found Yarrowspark's father. However, they don't have any food to offer, so he leaves again soon

Strifestep still couldn't find a second berry bush in 13 days. Horrible luck. They have a child anyway. Lostfire, one against all odds, doesn't mutate anything and is born with webbed paw/no paw. As if this line hadn't been cursed enough, a predator appears and eats the flaming orange child

Mothdew is born. He is stronger than his parents, but just as slow

A second predator appears. One kills Yarrowbark. It's almost dead, but strifestep has no strenght.

20190330_172006.thumb.jpg.21552a6366934cd898aa466c6dda1c1b.jpg

Her better, second child is killed. Strifestep picks up the dead predator's meat while Mothdew escapes. Or so I thought. It goes after him instead

Ever helpful in rogue-fashion, she becomes pregnant with Slippingdust's child.

Skipshort is strong, but unfortunately can't gather. Neither can Flamesearch, her next baby. But in the grasses, even more danger looms

20190330_172628.thumb.jpg.da22fe5d1d057c0e599c0f2b3e4f994a.jpg

It's no use. She gives her life so that at least one of her children might survive

20190330_172757.thumb.jpg.54a47c9c278d27af5409b17d2eaf3710.jpg

RIP :(

Skipshort decides to follow the predator. Meanwhile Skippingdust is a single dad, but can't really provide with no paws

20190330_173010.thumb.jpg.24af54b80fdaa84c5b416f6ac816816a.jpg

When they're old enough, they flee again

20190330_173118.thumb.jpg.b6e9666c9233fc8b234816aff6aff769.jpg

20190330_173136.thumb.jpg.f2d232d305db1cbe527ae2b887f940a6.jpg

At least there's some food.

A wild mumblefin appears!

20190330_173235.thumb.jpg.6479dce13d5510f27a5f05e94038423e.jpg

But I'm not sure if he's worth investing into. Of course, he also ran away. Mossdapple greets them. He has two paws and is accepted automatically.

Searchflame carves out some space by the nest. Meanwhile the males find two shrivelled up berry bushes

She has a child quickly, before the rogues can get to her. Skipshort is busy defending the meager bushes from Mumblefin

Sootgravel's sick, but it doesn't matter here... unike the predator I can't attack. Maybe it's old?

all hail the best state

The stars at night, are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas,

The sage in bloom is like perfume,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
Reminds me of, the one I love,
Deep in the heart of Texas.

The coyotes wail, along the trail,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
The rabbits rush, around the brush,
Deep in the heart of Texas.
The cowboys cry, "Ki-yip-pee-yi, "

Skipshort is killed by a new one, but it gets us some food.

20190330_174801.thumb.jpg.de03490474a009aec01f1bb4a2faf31d.jpg

I can't escape from predator 2 + coalstalk. The rogue at least blocked the predator

20190330_174859.thumb.jpg.52b5f9a48137a71c7cfb5fbc6e46a5a4.jpg

So we're even. The child also has good strenght+ resistance. 

20190330_175059.thumb.jpg.e8d3618341615587620c8312eb3d673c.jpg

Life's gotten easier with more foodsources. We still don't have enough for one more baby. Or Coolstrong. Wth? He's neiher strong nor good at keeping cool. Fake news!

No more bushes were found. Just more danger

20190330_180251.thumb.jpg.08094016465bb19f3c99809af5f3e1d8.jpg

And this blind digger. Thunderbat was an awful next child, so he'll do.

He'll find more bushes

20190330_180429.thumb.jpg.a247f81f3d561b69a38532ad2187984b.jpg

But Searchflame has to be banished for now. I'm sorry

The tribe did a lot of starving until Thunderbat grew up. When he's a bit older yet, the minimum daily yield will raise from 3 to 5 pieces

20190330_180801.thumb.jpg.c61cf421885590ec55a0c6e62c9847af.jpg

Or not. Yikes

20190330_181113.thumb.jpg.d79532c61df6427f6631f0990cd6b7b4.jpg

There's no hiding with white fur...

New heirs

20190330_181322.thumb.jpg.cdf82ff1e06bf45fd6621b886ba27967.jpg

Timberwave, who looks a lot like dad, and Bearthunder, named after the now dead Thunderbat. Can't believe a nicheling named bat died because of bad eyesight. Still, at his premature demise, flames rose for the first time

Everyone in the main camp died, but the heirs escaped

20190330_182918.thumb.jpg.475ab0c5e151a238b47abc2026cba3bd.jpg

Shellblaze feels complety lost in the haze. 

Rain falls

Thunderbat has had a better life away from the clan. Despite the ashes covering the ground, food is plentiful. He even impresses Brook by slaying a bearyena!

He would name their daughter Lightbell, after Soaringbell, who fearlessly died for her children. She was his half sister (being a rogue child) but he loved her dearly. 

Shellblaze surely doesn't hide which sons she prefers

20190330_184147.thumb.jpg.a933f794e83bd26b9da933ce45834641.jpg

Dandelion is "useless" in the desert sun, after all. One day, a wanderer steals their food.

And runs headfirst into a predator. Luckily for him, being invinsible has its perks.

Dandelion's time has come

The result is... 2. His mind is strong, but in the end, he is just not ready. Little Lion is cooked medium- raw.

20190330_185859.thumb.jpg.7e56df4fc94e6fea3caea141a6db50b4.jpg

An I-steal-your-food introduces himself as Palebelly. They're not impressed. But decidly more nice than the neighbours

Swipestone goes looking for his son. Unfortunately, all he finds is an attacked bat family. The camp is evacuated, but it's of no use. Swipestone himself is killed by the predator. Both Brook and Shellblaze starve this night.20190330_190325.thumb.jpg.a0ee62dab48c71ad0c11e51fb1328cff.jpg

One of the predators passes, aswell. Down to 4 nichelings, these two quickly escape. Moaning just has to wait :(

Thunderbat guides Lightbell to the outskirts of the territory. However, her bigs ears still detect the monster

20190330_190613.thumb.jpg.3d8f84d392d57afae600bfebe9c2fce2.jpg

After some rounds of skirting around its radar... 

20190330_190751.thumb.jpg.de38f9bf8b21b2d170af41add2ea5eff.jpg

The one who ate her family draws near again. She recognizes it by it's foul scent and singed fur. Still, another growl can be heard. With their home surrounded on both ends, they can only really flee west

Meanwhile, the sole berry bush these two share just isn't enough. Swipestone's baby sister isn't a child anymore, either. To compensate for the drought, they split.

Oddly enough, he gains many admirers. 20190330_191257.thumb.jpg.638c28fb8eb5e448563f4f12254b20b8.jpg

Whom he hits daily. This may or may not have attracted more trouble...

Little Dove is born. The father was of Swipestone's line. Unfortunately, by the time her mother reaches for rations, the child has weaseled off into the grasses, forever lost.

Many days pass. 20190330_191528.thumb.jpg.cc7417bd11dc26358265ee9c6eca10d3.jpg

Swipestone is forced to retreat. Because RandomWanderer is an idiot, they accidently have Lostsoar. (Because naming all dying children after Lost/Flame is a sane thing to do)

20190330_191827.thumb.jpg.71d0708b200b87f61a5c8a26c7d19b64.jpg

The Swipestone fan club is heartbroken

No matter. They also find the Wanderer Palebelly's daughter, Sagebelly. However, the pregnant Palmwhisker has a soft spot for children. Potentially losing her own didn't help...

Lightbell also spots a beautiful Dove in the grasses (Lace is torturing mothers again, I swear). Still, she can't really afford to invite him, but he's nice company.

Because saving Dove from ... becoming a teen mother, by making her a teen mother, is morallys superior. At least Scar is very pretty. 

20190330_192637.thumb.jpg.4b7826190112045c0c9e347276b5f9cb.jpg

As was Bristleberry. Weird, scary names. Even the resident rogue stalker joined the migration. But food isn't everything20190330_192602.thumb.jpg.56f48f8af0d6e869aa7ceef297b701fd.jpg

But there isn't much time. Their children might be eaten any day, anyway. Jaggedbranch is the result of some profitable incest. Lucky. This I-steal-your-food won't be, though
