Astaroth nodded to the odd creature, then looked at Xerxes. "I will go with you, I can try to rip the crystals from their places with magic. We need no tools for ourselves." He paced over next to the lion. "Lead the way." He said blandly. This is one of the weirdest things to happen to me here... where did this thing come from? His mind span with these questions, the biggest of which being; Why do I wish to help him??

"Speaking."
Thoughts.

Notes:

Aeroth stood up on her hind legs, looking up to the new hole in the ceiling that the snow poured through, wondering what was up there, before looking up at Naskital. ”Well, I don't know who you are, and where you came from, but I suppose I'll help. Maybe I can catch some of your rabbits.” She went back down on all four, trotting off to look for the creatures.

”Speech”
"Thoughts"

Notes: Aeroth has left the thread

As soon as all was said and done and the big white bird had decided to join him and the big lion (and now the wolf that said "Fuck"), Aure was happy to begin trouncing in whatever direction he was pointed in. He hopped along in a fashion very similar to an excited parrot, eager to help out any way he could. Which... happened to be in crystal-collecting, apparently. That was exciting! But not as exciting as the fluffy, white --- albeit cold --- snow beginning to collect on his feathers and coat him. Maybe he'd become white like that ptarmigan the alien had on its shoulder! Oh boy!

; exit Aure!

VINNIE THE VOICE
The gull gave a short and startled cry as he realized that Aure was no longer beside him.

He turned, quickly, to follow the cub-bird, who was--trouncing..?--off in the other general direction. "Hey! --Kid! Wait up!" He beat his wings, rushing in a flapping, waddling run over the stone to catch up, so that he would not be left behind.

;temporary exit

Naskital turned back, peering and blinking those big black eyes at Asimona, as if gently surprised. "Snow? --Oh. Err--"

Naskital peered up, blinking some more, his demeanor nonthreatening and a little confused. It seemed to be a running theme with the translucent blue creature.

"I suppose it's--just that time of year. It gets colder, you know--ahh--" And here he pointed skyward, or rather ceiling-ward, toward the piles of broken rubble that blocked the hole he'd created. "Up there. I'm sorry, I didn't--I don't know how far I've fallen," he added in soft apology. And then, a little more hopefully, yet worriedly at the same time, "The snow isn't a--an inconvenience for you, is it?"

@Asimona

Asimona wait excitedly for his answer but foundherself disappointed as he stumbled over words and gave her a not-so-clear answer that only proved he had no idea. Her wings, which had previous been partially unfolded, now completely folded at her sides. "Oh, no! Not at all! I love the snow! I have a little area of this cave that I made cold and snowy just for me, but it took a lot of work and a lot of time."

As if a little demonstration, she held out a claw and focused her magic in her palm. Water began to collect and then freeze at her command. Within a few seconds, there was a small hammer of ice in her hand. She held it out to Naskital. "I'm not sure if tools of ice will suffice, since they'll melt if they get too hot, but hopefully this should help, at least for now?"

"Can you hear their voice?"
"Find the one who'll guide you."

Despite being 14 cycles old, Felina still enjoyed playing with her marble. That's what she was doing when it suddenly rolled around. She wasn't even touching it at that moment.

Then she heard a sound. She was trying to pinpoint where it came from. It seemed to come from everywhere at once!

By now, Felina knew that the source of her Majick was the very earth itself. From tiny pebbles to boulders several times larger than her. She also knew she was still learning how to use it.

The sound was followed by rumbling and trembling right under her paws! Tiny hairline fissures and larger cracks were forming! The terrible cacophony was even louder right above her head! Oh, no! Rocks were falling from the roof!

She couldn't have possibly cast a spell like that! She was sure of it! Then she got the surprise of her life: Tiny bits of white, fluffy looking things fell from the roof along with the rain of pebbles.

That convinced her. Sure, she could do stuff with rocks and the like. The "fluffies" (she decided to call them that) weren't her doing!

Felina just *had* to investigate. She ran in between the raining rocks and fluffies with the agility of most (not all) of her kind. She had to find out what was happening!

@Game Master Dark

Naskital widened his eyes, a little, at Asimona's offering. He stepped over, delicately taking the hammer--as if in awe of this--and peered at her. "Ooh," he cooed, and black eyes wide. "I thought you were one of the workers! Thank you, I will try this." Down he bowed, and quickly turned, doing his best to test the hammer. He had to see how brittle the ice was--whether it would shatter on use, or not.

Clink. Clink. Soft and gentle taps were reassuring; he gave it a slightly sharper rap on the side of the sled, and--CRACK. The ice shattered. He sighed, softly, and turned back to Asimona with a shake of his head. "Ice is too brittle, I suppose, but thank you for trying."

Upon Felina's arrival, and question, he waved his translucent fingers gently in a greeting. "Oh, my beasts have escaped, and I need food for them, and tools, or I shall never know who to reward! I think the others have already begun to go to seek crystals, too, for my needs? If you can bring back any of my ptarmigan, or the white hares, or the caribou; or if you can bring back crystals, or tools, or food for my beasts, I would thank you greatly."

@Asimona @Felina

Asimona narrowed her eyes as Naskital tested the hammer and sighed with disappointement when it broke. That was just too bad, but she hadn't really expected the ice to hold up. "That's okay. I know of the blacksmith, he can probably make some tools for you." She opened her wings and jumped into the air. She didn't know exactly where he was but she thought that she had heard he was in Monoceros. She would go there.

She turned and beat her wings to gain speed and height and headed towards the tunnel that would lead her to the windy cave.

The deer couldn't help but to smile at the excitement of the young one - to be a child again! To be innocent, to see the good in everyone, even a Plague Horse who sought to kill all who lived in the caves.

At the thought of Khloros, her ears flicked back. She hadn't thought of, or heard of, the horse in a long time. Despite what she now knew, she was concerned. He had been kind to her, had saved her life, most likely. The deer liked to think the best of everyone, and so she kept her ears out for any whispers of the Plague Horse.

Artume looked over at the Dragon as she was addressed, twitching her ears as she thought. "I believe he was said to live in Monoceros. I haven't met him personally, but I have heard tell of him in the Caves."

As the others left, she trailed them as well, following after the largest group, the one that consisted of the child, the lion, and the bird.
