ORIGIN

Again the waters rushed forth and everyone tumbled through the waves. Diot held on to the best of his abilities, luckily thought Ghanyarah was getting the hang of it. But those on his back still would need to stay alert. Diot could only compress himself against the lizard's back; attempting to stay out of the way should any water come up and over the komodo. Though with luck on his side, Diot's new approach to stay aboard paid off! Managing to happily stay seated upon their ride's back!

Looking ahead Diot couldn't wait to see what was in store for this group of gembounds! With Ghanyarah set on heading forward; it would take little time to find out!

"Speech"

Sabor had been leading Tolani around for awhile. He wanted to explore all of Eridanus after all! Tolani at this point was more than happy to follow him! That was until they discovered that Eridanus wasn't the only room in their vast world. You could imagine their surprise when they unveiled such a thing! So, faster than it took for him to devour a rabbit he had them leave their foliage lush home and step out into Origin! Ready to explore all of the unknown! Of course with Tolani in tow, keeping an eye on her should she get lost along the way.

Finally they had approached something interesting, following the sounds of rushing water as well as other gembounds of course. Making his way into the frozen tunnel he glanced around; keeping Tolani behind him all the while. There wasn't anyone here, at least not at the entrance of the unusually wet tunnel. Glancing back he observed a rather nerve stricken bear. "Come on, it seems saf-"

Words cut off by the sound of rushing water, Sabor's golden eyes widened in fear. This isn't at all what he had planned for this tunnel! Charging forward in an attempt to keep both Tolani and himself safe he braced successfully against the torrent. Managing to dig his claws into the frozen surface below, pushing his body against the water until finally it stopped.

The white hybrid was growing rapidly - and with her increasing size came an increasing itch to explore. She had decided, this time, to wander down tunnel M. She had moved through it before - like the time she went looking for something to find for Caravaggio, but she also liked the darkened room with shiny stuff glimmering on the ceiling. She sometimes visited there, too, when her dad wasn't watching.

Usually, tunnel M was boring. It was empty, and it was cold. But today, there was something rather different. There was a crowd of people there. As the little hybrid began to get closer there came a surge of freezing cold water that swept her backwards towards Polaris.

The now-soaking child gasped and wheezed, pristine white feathers soaked and pressed flat against her body. What the heck just happened?

With a rough shake of her body, the winged hybrid began to charge back into the tunnel, where water was still pouring out from. From when it had initially hit her however, it had died down. The hybrid continued to run through the water and past other gembounds trudging down a new place that she hadn't really seen before.

Not that she actually knew where she was going now, that is.
