ORIGIN - An explorer in the making.

Aeroth flicked her ears back and looked at the gem in front of her in irritation. She hoped she'd be able to reach it... it's just so pretty, the opal sitting in between the crags in the rock seemed almost perfectly shaped to catch any light that came from the deepest recesses of the caves in any way you looked at it, she wanted it. She tried to stretch forward on the branch she was on, jumping off it halfway in an attempt to plant her paws on the cracks in the stone running vertical to the two boulders which sat on either side of the opal.

Aeroth's heart seemed to stop for a second as she jumped forward, locking her paws on either boulder and digging her claws into the branch, she shouted in glee when she stuck the landing, she grabbed the opal in her mouth, carefully pulling it from the rock face. She jumped back then, hoping to not fall backwards off the branch. She made it on and swayed back and forth, almost falling off, she started making her way back down the tree then and back to her den, she was looking to start collection of these finds that she found so fascinating. When she got to the den that she dug out under a massive tree with sprawling limbs, she stuck it right nest to a quartz crystal that she found while digging the little den out. When she was done with this she lay at the entrance of her den, looking out with her head on her paws, hoping for someone to come along, she had only seen one other gem since being born, it was kinda lonely.

Paws padded silently through the tall underbrush. Sapphire blue eyes scanned over his surroundings. Things had been quiet lately. Even Arkrael had disappeared into the shadows and Cure was left to his own musings. Even his twin was gone, no where to be found and that had left his heart twisting painfully. However, it seems that her precious Xerxes was missing as well. A heavy sigh escaped the large feline as she lifted her head as she made his way through the fern bushes that led to an area she had not really spent much time in before.

Eagerly she looked around, hoping beyond hope that maybe...just maybe she would come across those lost. When nothing but green foliage and trees were her greeting the leopard rolled their eyes. Oh well. She shook herself, causing bits of debris and dust to fly out from her pelt. It was certainly time for a bath, but she just didn't have any motivation to do so at the moment.

A shifting in her fur just at the middle of her shoulders caused her to glance behind her just as a large echoing grey mouse scurried into view squeaking at him. "Did you sleep well Dragul Mea?" He spoke gently, his voice a low rumble as he felt the rodent shift about before clambering up to sit between her horns atop her head and rise up to her hind legs to look around. A chattering voice spoke up in her mind instantly, responding casually as the familiar got a good sense of where they were.

Cure chuckled lightly before glancing around as movement was quick to pull her attention. Rounded ears pushed forward as she searched for the cause of the noise. When she saw nothing her long tail flicked around behind her. Within a moment her horns flashed brightly as her magick rose to the surface and she quickly pushed around to see who's heartbeat she could find. Hopefully it was something other than a lesser gembound. Even if it wasn't Cure guessed they could at least go hunting for something to fill their belly.

Aeroth cringed away from the sudden light in the darkness, letting out a soft mew and a hiss as she backed away, it having terrified her but her not wanting to show it even as her body shook with fright of the suddenness of it. She stumbled back while backing away slowly from it as she lost her footing in the soft ground. Sitting on her haunches she looked up at the creature above her. Wondering whether they were friend or enemy.

To say Cure was startled at the sudden hissing and the sudden sensation of the creature's thundering heartbeat ins her ears would be safe to assume to be the truth. She fell back to her haunches as her familiar quickly scurried and tucked herself safely into Cure's thick fur. Cure let out a sigh as she caught the featurse of the feline before her just as the glow of her horns ebbed away and darkness settled around them once again. "Sorry, little one, I didn't mean to startle you," Cure's voice was soft and gentle as she sniffed thoughtfully, saving this new feline's scent to her memory banks. A smile curled across her features as she remained sitting where she had landed. "My name is Cure, what's your name?"

Aeroth looked at the leopard, identifying that the light came from crystals coming from the base of their head. She velveted her paws but didn't raise her ears from the top of her head. She would show that she wouldn't fight if the other creature didn't try to harm her. Besides the leopards kind words she wasn't quick to trust even then. Anybody could lie, at any time and that was the fact of it. My name is Aeroth. Now I would perhaps trust you a little more if you told me yours." She shrunk back even then at the light radiating from the creature. She had no clue how it was made, though she wanted to know.
