My Sanctuary - Makyna - Dec 05 2015
The lioness focused her thoughts, tapping into her flood of magic as she began to hum a tune that came to her mind. It wasn't a song that she had sang before but it was one that spoke to her now. A whispering sound seemed to bounce off of the trees as Makyna weaved her way amongst the undergrowth.
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I... The whispered voice from her magic spoke while she sang right after.
"In you and I there's a new land... Angel's in flight..."
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I... Makyna began to search while she sang to herself. She found a few white flowers, the ones that seemed to emit a calming aroma, which she pushed into the bag she had thrown about her neck. "My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah... Where fears and lies melt away! Music will tie..." She moved along to another area with a magnolia tree and easily she began to scale it and stuff those white flowers into her pack as well, all the while still singing along.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I...
"What's left of me what's left of me now..."

When I turn and walk away I'm not holding onto this I'm not wasting words on you I sleep alone in spite of it I'll do anything for you
Paws raced over the snow dusted foliage. She had been walking around all over Eridanus to show Pheo his new home with her. It was when she was finally nearing the point where she would turn to head towards her den did a sudden voice came through the trees and bushes. It had sent her new companion into a tizzy and before Arkrael could have done anything about it the bat had shot off in the direction, following the sound to it's source. Heterochromia eyes searched the canopy as she chased after the frenzied and excited bat. When the bat suddenly dived into a particular tree Arkrael skidded to a stop and peered into the trees. "Pheo!" She called up, trying to see what he was doing.
The bat flew and flew quickly through the air. Weaving in and out of trees and overgrown ferns in a rather unsteady manner. Things were still only just becoming naturally for him to do and being as young as he was he had a lot to learn on how to properly fly easily through it. Ears twitched as a soft sound escaped his black muzzle, Opal eyes searching each tree as he followed the pretty sound for a good distance.
When he finally came upon a tree with the prettiest white flours, Pheo sat it. The great big tan thing! A screech of excitement escaped the bat as he suddenly dived for the creature and within a matter of seconds he thudded against the lion's nose, his paws gripping tight along the length of her nose. 'Pheo found! Very pretty! This sound! Mine!'
Arkrael heard his thoughts clearly and her brow lifted slowly. He couldn't help the laugh, but she tried to stifle it as she moved around.

Now, Makyna didn't like to think of herself as a coward but when a large bat with a scary face slapped onto her face straight out of nowhere it was hard not to be a little surprised.
Or in her case "lose her shit" as some people would say.
"EEEEK! Ewewewew! Gedditoff! GEDDITOFF!" The lioness screeched in a rather high-pitched voice. Why, she could even give a certain dolphin a run for his money with her squeaky pitch and tones. The lioness pawed at her face with both forepaws in an attempt to dislodge the bat which in her eyes was obviously trying to eat off of her beautiful nose.
In her furious attempt to dislodge the bat she forgot a crucial fact... She was a quadruped and needed all of her paws to stay balanced.
Especially when she was in a tree.
"OFFOFFOFFO--AAAAAAAHHH!" Her screams echoed all around Eridanus --lions of course have very big mouths when angry or absolutely terrified, true fact-- as she promptly lost her grip from her frantic pawing and fell butt-first from the tree.
It's is a known fact that cats always land on their feet... But Ky was not a cat. She was a terrified lioness. So she landed flat on her back with a loud "thud". For a moment she lay there, wincing at the pain and twitching while her eyes stared upwards. Where was the bat? Was it still on her? Or was it plotting to get her nose again? OH NO! With that thought she was up in an instant, obviously unharmed, as she tried to run away. Her eyes turned behind her to check to see if she was being followed...
However... There's a problem with running with your eyes turned behind you rather than in front.
You tend not to see the trees directly in front of you... As Makyna soon found out as she ran smack into one and again landed on her back. Now she lay there, panting as she prayed to the All Mother that she had outrun the bat and that she would get to keep her beautiful nose for another day.

A shrill shriek pierced through Eridanus and Arkrael's head jerked back as her ears splayed out to the side. She didn't even have to question what that was when the lioness came barreling down from the tree limbs and slam hard against the ground. She shifted and fell back on her haunches as she tried to think of something to say, but the Lioness was on her paws within a second and bolted away. Her gaze lifted to the drifting Pheo who was happily squeeking as he went. Silently she did nothhing but stare when the lioness suddenly struck hard into a tree and was forced to her back once again.
Pheo squeeked and hurried along and when he found himself getting back towards the pretty sound maker he dive bombed right for her. His small frame bounced against the chest of the lioness before he wiggled around and snuggled close to her fur, squeeking even more in his joy. 'I keep! Forever!' His thoughts nearly screeched through Arkrael's mind.
Laughter suddenly belted from the she-wolf, though she felt terrible her new companion was causing terror for the familiar lioness that had been so desperate to get away from Pheo. "Pheo no!" she cried out as she sprinted towards the two. Hoping to reach them before the lioness flipped out more, Arkrael skidded to a quick stop right next to Makyna and reached for Pheo. Her fangs gently gripped at on of the fluttering wings and peeled the Bat from the lioness. "Pheo, you can't just claim someone as yours." She spoke gently as the little bat screeched in a whine.
"I'm sorry Makyna. You'll have to forgive Pheo. He's still pretty young for his kind...I think" Arkrael murmured, finaly turning her full attention to the lioness as Pheo crawled around until he was promptly spread out across Rae's head, his large opal eyes staring at Makyna happily.
RE: My Sanctuary - Makyna - Dec 06 2015
For a moment the lioness thought herself safe but then she felt the plop on her chest and the weight of the bat returned. Makyna's eyes nearly bulged completely out of her head as she started squealing and screeching again. "EEEEEKKK! NONONONONO! PLEASE NO! AAAHH! DON'TEATMEPLEASE! IHAVECHILDREN! DON'TDON'TDOOOOONNN'T!" She pleaded with her forepaws coming to cover her eyes and her rear legs drumming on the ground in a terrified cacophony. At least she could shield her vision from the onset of pain that was sure to come...
Only it didn't.
"Pheo, you can't just claim someone as yours." She felt the weight getting peeled off of her as a familiar voice spoke to the bat. Makyna lifted her paws from her eyes to peer up at the face of the wolf. Her savior! In a rush of gratified emotion the lioness threw herself up from the ground and wrapped her arms about the she-wolf, smothering her in a huge lionhug! "Oh! ThankyousomuchIthoughtmyfacewasgoingtobeeatenbutit'snotbecauseyousaveme! Oh! ThankyousosososososomuchArkraelIoweyoumylifeyou'resowonderfulthankyouthankyouthankyou!" Finally when she could speak no more the lioness took a breath and leaned back so she could look the wolf in the eyes with a huge grin on her face. Except... The bat was still there... Makyna's eyes bulged as she stared down at it. "You... You called him, Pheo... Is... Is that nose-eating-bat yours?" One paw lifted so she could point a claw at the protesting bat while her other paw released Arkrael so that she could lean back warily on her haunches if the thing suddenly got loose and tried anything else.

Arkrael nearly grunted when the lioness suddenly came flying at her, hugging on and speaking a mile a minute. Arkrael couldn't help but laugh as she reached up a paw and gently patted Makyna's side. Soon Makyna did pull away and addressed her about Pheo and she about died laughing when he was called a nose-eating-bat. Pheo seemed to fluff up atop her head as his reddish orange fur bristled in his pout. "No! Pheo doesn't eat noses," She grinned as Pheo came scurrying across her nose and put his opal eyes once again on the pretty feline. "But yes, he is mine. We some how bonded a few days ago. I named him Pheo. Also, he thinks your singing voice is very pretty. Which prompted him to cling to you I guess," She mused thoughtfully as Pheo eventual crawled his way to dangle in the fur around the front of her neck.
'Yes yes, pretty pretty pretty pretty.' Pheo's thoughts filled Arkrael's mind as he squeaked happily out loud.
Arkrael grinned as she shifted to scratch behind her left ear with her hind leg for a quick moment before focusing on Makyna. "He's only a baby, so he's got a lot to learn about people's personal space," She hummed thoughtfully before tilting her head curiously to the lioness. "So what brings you to Eridanus?"
