Winter moved around her stone before breaking her stone. She felt the stone break apart`and she looked out of it. Her eyes didnt like the bright light but she knew that it was time to emerge out of her sky blue stone. Crawling out her stone, Winter looked around at her surroundings and then at her paws. She noticed that they were white and she turned one of the paws over and saw that they were pink. She sighed and looked back around. She was the only one here in the area.“I wonder where I am and if it is safe to be here?” she wondered. Yes the albino pup was scared.she didnt have anyone to care for her or raise her. The girl was stuck on her own and she was gonna have to learn to fight, hunt and live on her own. The fear of her being alone for the rest of her life scared the pup. Winter let out a whine and her head lowered.

"I pray for the wellbeing of my sisters Dovefeather and Owlfeather. I pray that you let them excel in what you created them for. I pray that you help Brother Booker in learning the symbols crafted by you so that he may help our purpose. I, your child Blackfeather, humbly ask this... Thank-you, All Mother." And that concluded her prayers for today. The gray feline opened her eyes and lifted her gaze up to the tall white mushroom. A smile was curved at her muzzle while she did so and there was an impossible calmness in her eyes. It might seem impossible for one so young to be so calm but here it was accomplished.

Her prayers for today had been done and now she would make her daily rounds to check up on the plants. "Help me, All Mother, to see and care for your non-speaking children." Her eyes closed again but not in prayer, she was instead focusing on her Mother-gifted powers to reach out to the plants. The lights twinkled up behind her eyes, illuminating the lives of the plants all around. They looked bright and healthy, the ones that she could see anyway. Her cast wasn't particularly strong so she could only see the nearby plants, not the ones towards the fringes of the territory.

So, she opened her eyes and turned towards the plants she could not see. She traveled as calmly as the look in her eyes. Her paws trailing over the ground carefully as if the vegetation was a living thing which in her eyes it was just as alive as she was. It wasn't until she heard a cracking sound that she altered her course. Was there a new child in the garden? The Mother would want her to greet this new child so she would. The little cat traveled and until her eyes set upon the newborn pup. She was quite pretty in her coat of all white, a coat similar to the All Mother's form herself! Was... was this a sign? A coat so pure and beautiful could only be so.

Blackfeather approached and dipped her head down respectfully a smile on her maw. Was it her job to find all the Marked Ones of the Mother? Mother, is this another of your Chosen Ones? If it is so please send me a sign. Out loud she said. "Greetings and welcome to Mother's Garden! I am Blackfeather. Have you been gifted with a name by the All Mother as well, Sister?" Or would they have to go searching? Oh! That would be ever so fun!

"Talking looks like this!"
Thinking looks like this...

We'll light up the sky,

We'll open the clouds...

Winter was sitting on the green ground when hear another sound. She got to her white legs and looked around. She saw a creature that she hadnt seen before. The little girl didnt know how to react, she just stood there watching her. "Is that creature dangerous or friendly? What is it anyways?" she wondered. The albino wolf didnt want to get any closer so she watched the odd looking animal from where she was but in the safety of some green leafy bushes that were there. It seemed the whole forest was covered with them.

Visits to Eridanus were growing considerably more common, especially since he had discovered a few friends that chose to live in the jungle room. While the group that he'd been bound to resided in Cetus, and it was suddenly his responsibility to protect them alongside Dragon, Ghanyarah didn't think he'd be restricted to the swamp room - especially so soon after regaining his confidence in exploring. The reptile ventured out into the trees, keeping his eyes peeled for any sign of those whose companionship he rather enjoyed - Gracie, and to some extent, German. He didn't find them, but what he did find was something probably just as good.

There was a loud crack, and he scuttled through the undergrowth just in time to see the little albino emerge from her chrysalis. She reminded him if Temoria. Ahh, his Temoria. She hadn't visited him in a while. His wistful memories were quickly displaced by a feeling of hunger in the pit of his stomach. Baby Gembounds were among the easiest of prey, and Ghanyarah wasn't about to pass up a potential meal because she looked like a friend. He grunted and slowly, quietly advanced from the foliage.

Only for his plan to be foiled. A familiar voice sounded out through the air. Ghanyarah snorted, shifting his gaze to the cat that appeared just in time to prevent him from turning this freshly hatched child into his lunch. How annoying. Then again... When did Ghanyarah ever willingly follow social convention when it came to food? Settled into the mud, a crooked, Seussian smirk crawled along his lips. When the cat asked if the little wolf pup had a name, the dragon burst forward with a cackle. "Yeah, its lunch!" He spat, swinging his head towards the pup.

Post-Roll Edit:
In a surge of magical energy, moisture in the air and around her body would quickly begin to crystallize as a chilling cold settled in. If he was lucky, maybe he could freeze her solid before either of them even knew what had happened - then all he'd have to do is chase that annoying cat back to her All Mother, and lunch would be all his!

Winter had forgotten that the cat had asked for name and she looked down then back at the cat. "I am Winter Snow. That is the name I have given myself. I am odd looking dont you think?" she asked. The young pup was confused still and she didnt know if she could trust the cat. As she stood there, something came from behind her. She looked around and couldnt see whatever made the noise. She heard someone say that she was lunch.

"I am not lunch. I am just a pup. just emerged from my chrysalis. I have no meat on my bones. Please. I am quite confused of where I am and i dont know how to fend for myself." she said hoping that whoever had said that she was lunch. Something came towards her swinging its head and she freaked out. All that came out of her mouth was a yip and she tried snapping at it. The Albino pup knew that her instincts were kicking in. "I am friendly. I am not mean at all please stop." she said.

The little one seemed afraid at first but then she came out and spoke her name. Blackfeather smiled at the younger creature and dipped her head in greeting. "No no no, you are just as the All Mother made you. Even better, you are the exact color of the All Mother. It is a special color." She would have expounded more but there was an interruption. Why, it was Ghanyarah! But what was he doing?

Blackfeather gasped in dismay and scuttled backwards away from the lizard. "No, stop stop! Do not harm her! She is one of the All Mother's children as are you! We should not be harming each other or eating each other! It is not Mother's way!" She pleased with the lizard, hoping she would get through to him.

The komodo dragon slowly advanced, willing all of his cold magic to encase the pup. Unfortunately, his focus on the spell wasn't too strong - he was distracted by the grey cat crying out, trying to get him to stop attacking the freshly hatched Gembound while the canine itself pleaded not to be eaten. Reasoning that she was just freshly emerged and that she didn't know how to fend for herself - most importantly, that she had no flesh on her bones. Ghanyarah only scoffed and cackled, as if that was going to stop him from trying to eat her. When a lizard was hungry, a lizard was hungry - and he needed to eat. When the pup snapped at him, he recoiled back with a hiss, glancing at Blackfeather. Her incessant begging was beginning to drive him up the wall, so he regurgitated a mouthful of water and attempted to spit it at her.

Post-Roll Edit:
Sure enough, water drew up from his tissues and his digestive system, and the lizard spat a forceful stream at the cat. "Cool it!" He snapped, then swung his jaws back towards the wolf. He advanced another few steps, taking a snap here and there and trying to force her backwards, away from the cat.
