Chill Swipe Virus

[Cloude]

A tribe haunted by viruses has arrived on a land of frost, many of their members scattering before they could properly address the situation.

A small, blind cub looks around, shivering. She looks up at the male huddled by her side.

"The chill is our fate." She whispers, cold freezing the warm air coming with her speech.

 

 

[Cloude]

The child and the clawed male follow the footsteps of their fellow female tribe member.

The older female had been through enough, leaving her family behind along with her previous mate, children having died to sickness, and her entire tribe running away before they even had time to decide what they'd do next.

 

The blind cub made her way to a flower bush, making sure not to get too close to the older female. The older female had been settling in a nest, and the blind cub didn't want to get the baby sick.

 

The clawed male, otherwise known as Tano, had found two of their tribe members from before. Elmi and Nopriku had been huddled together, not having given enough thought about the cold.

After a bit of talking, he found out that they had been mates, and Elmi was carrying their child.

Mikosi looked down at the purring baby, a smile forming on her face. This child could help heal the tribe with this wonderful new snout.

 

 

The tribe decided to keep moving, and Elmi hopped into the first nest she saw. 

As the next day came, Elmi introduced the new member as Rais.

The tribe also found another one of their members, Resi.

 

Resi, Tano, and Melen decided to scout ahead while the others helped keep each other warm. Elmi and Nopriku prepared for another child, this time asking the gods for a male.

 

Tano wards off some arctic ramfoxes while calling out for the others.

Mikosi decided to talk to Siko while Elmi and Nopriku prepared a nest for the next child.

 

 

Rais ran over to follow Mikosi and Siko after hearing a warning roar from a nearby balance bear.

Elmi curled around a sleeping cub, ready to risk her own life to protect this child. Nopriku stayed close, not willing to leave his family behind for the bear.

 

 

Resi started moving towards the distant smell of a nicheling as Melen and Tano stayed to wait for the rest of the tribe. Melen made sure to heal as much damage as she could.

 

 

 

When Nopriku offered to watch the child, Elmi darted off towards the calls she heard. She couldn't handle any more of the roars.

Resi was confused when the female almost ran right into her, but she was happy about how close the rest of the tribe must be.

 

 

Resi found a winged nicheling frozen in a block of ice. She ran into the ice, cracking it enough to then dig the nicheling out. The winged nicheling shivered and fell into the female's arms. Resi stayed to warm them up, and Elmi watched from a distance, wondering what was happening. Elmi couldn't see the winged nicheling due to the piling snow blocking her view.

 

 

Elmi walked over to Resi, but jumped when she heard talking from the winged nicheling. It was obvious by how quickly Resi had been to invite this nicheling- The nicheling was a charmer. But that charm seemed to have worked on the wrong nicheling.

 

Mikosi, Siko, and Rais started making their way up the hill, followed by growls from a balance bear.

 

Nopriku picked his daughter up and ran towards the calls of his tribe. He saw Melen and set the child down in front of her. The cold weather had gotten to the cub, and she'd been coughing and sneezing all night. Melen cuddled up to the child, purring a few lullabies to calm them down.

 

In the morning the tribe were all able to come together. Resi introduced the winged nicheling to the rest of the tribe, telling them how the nicheling had been trapped within the ice. Mikosi and Tano took that as bad news, but the rest of the tribe were eager to accept this new nicheling.

Elmi settled down in a nest, deciding to have her child while the tribe was there to protect her. She pushed her bright red child away when she wanted a hug.

Nopriku and Siko settled down, Siko creating a nest under her. Nopriku had decided that he wasn't okay with how quickly Elmi had abandoned their other child, so he moved on to another lonely female. He had a feeling that Siko would be a better mother than Elmi was.

Melen spent her day making sure that the tribe was healed and ready to move on after the next few children came.

[Cloude]

The tribe welcome two new cubs while also saying goodbye to Siko.

Nopriku saw the healthy little girl surrounded by her mother's frozen corpse. He reached a paw out to the child, but her fur was frozen over. The child seemed fine, but something about the air around her wasn't welcoming. Nopriku looked at the frozen Siko, a puzzled expression on his face. How could she have frozen when she was surrounded by warmth?

[Cloude]

Nopriku yanks his paw back as a coat of ice forms around it. Something was very wrong.

Tano and Mikosi decided to have a cub, which would become the next leader.

Resi and Rais have a bit of trouble with a rogue male, but Resi is able to deter it from the others.

A balance bear then decides to threaten the tribe.

Mikosi tells Tano to lead the others away.

Nopriku tries to keep the balance bear away from the child, but as soon as his icy paw touches the bear, ice begins to crawl up the bear's arm.

Mikosi and Rais stay with the two cubs as the others run away, Tano leading them.

Elmi of course ran to the front of the group, not wanting to stay and deal with the bear.

The winged nicheling stayed next to Resi, helping to keep the rogue away.

Melen made sure that everybody would stay at full health, but her being the only healer meant that the tribe forced her to run with them so that she was safe.

 

Nopriku froze over while trying to fend off the bear, and Mikosi wasn't able to find Melen in time.

Resi joined Rais to make sure the little ones catch up with the group. Rais noticed that the darker child had a thick layer of ice over her horns. She looked over at the child's frozen parents, the feeling of guilt seeping through her bones. Guilt seemed to be a very cold feeling. Oh, nevermind, it was just the cub cuddling up to her.

 

The winged nicheling, now known as Lasita, immediately jumped up onto a nearby stump. She called for the others, and kept an out out so that the tribe wouldn't lose each other. She hid the fact that she was pregnant behind her large and feathery wings.

Elmi yelled at the others, trying to convince them that the others weren't that important. She started looking for somewhere to go, since this island obviously wasn't working out.

Melen frantically rushed around, healing her tribemates as much as she could. The sneezes worried her, especially with all the snow piling up around them.

 

Rais and Resi were eventually able to get the cubs over to the rest of the tribe, but the threat of another balance bear angered Resi.

Melen examined the black-furred cub, trying to figure out why there was patches of ice all over them.

Melen didn't notice the ice that started to form around her whiskers and tail.

[Cloude]

 

Rais decided to start leading the group towards the faint smell of warmth.

Kosi and Rovan stuck together, Kosi staying right behind Rais.

Isanala kept a close eye on the bear, not alerting others to the fact she was freezing. Her paws began to ache, her tail not being able to lift itself out of the snow. She did her best to keep her eyes and ears okay, since she would need to make sure the others weren't threatened by this beast.

Melen started shivering, more than anybody else. Her face was becoming a bit discoloured, but she kept quiet when others began to worry. Elmi tried to get a good look at the healer, but the grey nicheling wouldn't sit still. The healer was not acting like herself.

Lasita created a nest, wanting to have her child before the bear got too close to her.

Tano became a bit more sluggish, not being at all happy with the fact that Mikosi died before the last child came. He also seemed a bit sick, but he refused to leave the tribe. He wanted to make sure they'd all make it to the next island.

[Cloude]

Tano began to yell at the others, ordering them to get to the ports and stop trying to stay near the stump.

Melen stayed back with Tano as the rest ran ahead. She could tell that he wouldn't be able to help the new child. He yelled at her, but she didn't respond. In fact, she couldn't respond because there was a thick layer of ice surrounding her snout.

Resi waved the others over, admiring the damp but warm leaves she had found.

Lasita was angry about the fact that Tano made her follow the rest, but the warm air surrounding the ports distracted her. The warm atmosphere seemed to make them all feel better.

[Cloude]

As Tano fell over, Melen and the child were left to the bears. Melen spun around and wacked the closest bear in the head with her frozen tail, then proceeded to rip through its throat when it doubled over.

The child moved to be behind Melen.

 

 

Resi and Rais settled down in nests. Resi seemed very sluggish, but the warm air helped her relax. Lanita was confused, not liking how slow the nicheling was becoming. She didn't want to lose them.

Elmi stood next to Rais, awaiting the new child. She wanted to meet her granddaughter before anybody else could.

Rovan and Kosi cuddled up together, Kosi not being able to convince him to stay away. She didn't want anybody to be cursed with the ice that was coating most of her fur, but Rovan refused to let her fight the ice alone.

[Cloude]

Elmi stumbled back when she saw the bright white bundle of fur. Rais looked down at her child in confusion, questioning why he was pure white while the rest of them were red or brown. She was startled when the child opened their eyes, which were milky white and bright red.

Words popped into her mind, not leaving until she said them out loud. "Blizzard."

Melen settled in a nest next to what looked like a new rogue baby. Kosilen was trying to follow her, but her crippled front paw made it hard to balance.

[Cloude]

 

As Melen's first child is born, the tribe begin to become fed up with Elmi's rude remarks. Rais, the only child that Elmi actually loved, was the one to push her mother off of the ports. Elmi stumbled over some boulders before getting back up. She was confused, but then became angry. She couldn't believe that two rogue children and a blind albino would be able to go but not her.

[Cloude]

(What the--)

As the angry Elmi yelled at her daughter, Rais began to let out a worrying cough. She started choking, stumbling back into the water. Rovan and Kosi tried to help her up, but Rais was struggling too much for them to get a proper hold.

Elmi's eyes widen, but then she smirked.

 

"Guess there's room for me after all."

Yeah heh uh- I wasn't expecting Rais to die? And none of the Chill Touch Infectors made contact with her, so she just sorta died on her own.

I wanted to get rid of Elmi but like- If there's room I'm not just gonna leave her behind--

Chill Swipe Virus

-

Chill Swipe virus was a virus that manifested in Kosi. Her mother died due to her insides freezing, which only happens to the mother of the nicheling that starts the virus.

Chill Swipe spreads through direct contact with others, so it can easily be avoided by those that know what is happening.

Chill Swipe will freeze nichelings, normally starting with the place that the infector came into contact with.

Those who are infected can not get rid of the virus, and if the tribe only has one healer then they are normally doomed from the start. Healers can only delay the spread of the virus, but most healers end up with the virus because of their limited knowledge on the subject.

HH- Got all the screenshots, now I just need to string the story together-

[Cloude]

The nichelings arrive at the warm island, Lasita and Lanala being startled by thorns that block their path.

 

 

 

Lasita flies up into the nearest tree, calling out for more nichelings. She tries not too think too much about Resi, since she needs to help the tribe.

 

Melen settles in a nest, staring at a nearby bush with a puzzled face. What is that?

 

 

Elmi walks away, Blizzard following her to get away from the crowd.

 

Lanala runs ahead, followed by Kosi. Kosi settles in a nest, and Lanala runs into a bunch of thorns.

Lanala begins to cough, blood dripping down her chin.

 

Lasita looks down as a bright red child pokes his head out from the grass. The child startles the tribe since none of them have ever seen such a large beak on a nicheling.

 

 

After Elmi collapses in the grass without warning, Blizzard runs off to find Lanala. He tells her about what happened, but she doesn't exactly seem to care.

Lanala stares down at the child, wiping the blood from her chin. Her eyes were bloodshot, but the child couldn't see any of this.

 

Kosi gives birth to a bright little boy, but she refuses to make contact with him. She sits just outside the nest, trying to ignore the newborn.

 

Rovan invites the strange nicheling into the tribe, trying not to let their large beak scare him.

Donpri, Kosila, and Lasime all collectively stare at the child.

 

A smaller than average cub sits in what remains of the last healer, already having become a bit of a disappointment to the tribe.

The tribe begin to panic, as their only healer has passed away.

 

 

Kosila settles in a nest, keeping an eye on Vanta. She looks up at Lasita, not realizing that the winged nicheling isn't breathing.

 

Rovan and Lasime decide to try going a different direction, Lasime taking the lead.

 

Lanala moves forward a bit before passing out. Blizzard calls out for the others, and they quickly make their way over. Kosi examines the female, finding lots of wounds from thorns. She becomes uncomfortable when she sees the blood around her mouth.

Nolur and Blizzard just stare blankly, not seeing what the others see.

Donpri blocks the view of Kosi's child, not knowing what else to do.

 

 

Vanta runs ahead of Kosila and her new child, but stops before running into a bunch of thorns.

 

Donpri, Blizzard, and Kosi help Lanala move with the tribe. Kosi has chills still going down her spine from seeing the bloodshot eyes.

 

Lasime stops to stare at some familiar flowers as Rovan motions for her to continue walking.

 

Nolur decides to move some thorns out of the way, which ends with him being covered in scratches.

 

 

 

Kosila encourages her child to follow her, but the child decides to go around the tree instead. She face-wings, but decides to wait for the child anyways.

 

 

 

As the tribe move forward, Vanta and Lasime spot someone else. Someone that might be able to help them in ways they cannot help themselves.

 

Donpri looks down at a purr-snouted cub. This cub was born out of desperation, a child between Blizzard and Kosi. This child brought the ability to heal back into the tribe, and this child had thin antennae displayed on her head that could tell others of what the future brings.

 

Kosila looked down at Lanala's child, feeling pity for the deformed creature. The cub had been thrown into the thorns by his mother, and his mother was nowhere to be seen. His father didn't care for the cub either, and Kosila was yet again the only adult that would take responsibility. Kosila was beginning to hate the tribe that brought her into this world. How often these nichelings left cubs alone sickened her. Why couldn't they just love their own children for once, instead of leaving them to the birds or thorns?

 

 

Lasime and Vanta finally track down the strange nicheling they had spotted before. The nicheling was scared at first, but when they told her what was happening to their tribe, she warmed up a little. 

 

Meanwhile, the rest of the tribe got ready to send some of their younger members onto ports.

The tribe agreed that the two cubs would go to this new mysterious island. They tried not to pay attention to all the skeletons, hoping that it wouldn't mean anything bad for the little ones.

 

 

 

The tribe decided to temporarily invite a new nicheling into the tribe. They had found the nicheling splashing around in the waters, trying to chase fish.

 

 

This new nicheling heard distant cries of cubs, and decided to chase the noises. Blizzard decided to come with because he had nothing better to do.

 

Kosila leaves behind a small brown ball of fur that seems to have an oddly familiar face. They decide to let that child go to the next island as well.

 

 

Rare jumps into the water, trying to convince two newborn cubs to follow her. She didn't know how to feel about the sudden silence as the cubs slept on the shore. She had never been a mother, and she wasn't expecting the other two nichelings to leave so soon.

 

 

 

Blizzard and the overly friendly wanderer find two cubs laying by the shore. Blizzard secured the cubs while the wanderer encouraged the cubs to follow him.

 

 

Vantaduk and Reel decide to have a cub, mostly because Reel felt bad that they wouldn't be able to come.

Mereta stumbled towards the ports, Kirpriku encouraging the young one.

 

 

Reel hops back onto the ports, followed by the young Mereta.

Mereta ducks her head into the river beside her, taking a deep breath and searching for hints of sea life. She lifts her head back up, disappointed that there was nothing in the river.

 

 

(Last few days of the island are coming in a second post.)

[Cloude]

 

The wanderer calls to the tribe as the two cubs move towards them.

Lameis and Nuprita stick together while making their way towards the ports.

 

 

As Lameis and Nuprita join the others on the port, what remains of the tribe waves at them.

The friendly wanderer walks back into the damp grass that are littered with thorns, needing to go back to the life he was living before.

 

 

And thus, the small group of children make their way across the stones and towards new islands.

They each know so little yet so much, and some of them hold a second purpose within them.

 

To be continued in a few minutes because I gotta stay awake-

ahh i like this so much :DD

[Cloude]

Mereta looks around at the open ocean surrounding these new lands. She is filled with joy that the others don't seem to understand.

Reel immediately settles down in a nest, surrounded by the others.

Lameis and Nuprita stay right next to each other, and Mereta hops on top of a bunnil burrow where she can stare at the ocean that she longs to explore.

Kirpriku just stays silent, digging at the ground a bit.

[Cloude]

Once the baby is born, Mereta runs right into the water. She couldn't keep herself away from the waves any longer.

Lameis and Noprita look at the cub with blank looks on their faces. Lameis remembered how her father told her that any nicheling with teeth showing were trouble.

 

UNCLE CREEPO BEEPO HAS BEEN SPOTTED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

 

Reel finds a stump and immediately decides that it would be her own stump.

Lameis picks berries from a nearby bush as Noprita scouts ahead.

 

Mereta just sorta does her own thing.

 

 

Reel makes a nest on her stump, getting ready for a child between her and Kirpriku.

Mereta finds herself a nest, though she doesn't exactly have a use for it.

 

Nuprita stumbles across a permanest, sniffing at it warily. He then turns and calls to Lameis.

 

 

Reel pushes her child out of the nest, letting it get used to the hard soil.

 

TWINS

 

 

Reel happens to attract a new wanderer, who is scared senseless by uncle creepo beepo papa joe.

Reel curled her tail around her youngest son, admiring his beauty. He didn't have any of the weird faces that the other two carried, and his fur also happened to hald a very beautiful colour.

 

 

Lameis looks down at her children, surprised by their being two of them. She growled whenever Nuprita got too close to them.

The male kept sneezing, seeming a little sickly.
