OoC: All are welcome. But Eeya gets the first response as briar's gonna have him save Mawra.

Silence. It was all she could hear. Her world had always been silent since the moment she could even begin to understand what that term even meant. The protective stone in which she resided within made sure to keep it quiet for her. At least in the dwellings of her own mind that was how she perceived it. The little kit remained curled up within the confines of the seraphinite that lay embedded into the bottom of the river. As time had gone by, the rushing waters had cut through the rocks and dirt that made up the riverbed. Cutting away at it until slowly, but surely a seraphinite stone revealed itself.

The strange green stone had ripples of silver all over it, creating a strange effect the moment light was able to reach it's surface. Alas, being under water did not allow a lot of light to touch it. Inside the kit remained motionless, content to remain within her dream world where she would continue to explore the realm her mind created for her. There didn't seem to be any rush for the young marble fox to break free of her confines.

Alas, where she found safety and contentment would soon bring a frightening life lesson. Slowly small cracks began to start in various places upon the seraphinite. It wasn't long before the tiny cracks began to grew, webbing out over the stone as small chips from the cracks began to be washed off by the ever moving river. It would soon open on it's own accord and birth into Origin a kit who just did not seem ready to awaken from her sleep.

He found himself back in Polaris with the rushing river. It was fun to swim with the currents, go around the large gear thing. Just to swim in circles and circles and see how fast he could go. It was awesome! He'd just broken his record for a fifth time! Except... He wished there were others like him. Or at least someone to play with.

It seemed his wish had been answered when out of the blue he saw something green in his aquatic world. He'd seen plenty of plants before but this... This was different. It was smooth and reminded him of the little shell he'd hatched from only a different color. Needless to say he was intrigued and when he was intrigued with something that gave him an excuse to play with that something and figure out more about it! The dolphin swam over and poked at it with his beak. It did nothing but rock a little which caused the dolphin to poke at it again. He flipped over upside down and studied the pretty silver streaks coursing through the stone before he swam forwards a bit a touched his tail to the stone. It cracked!

Well, it only cracked a little but the piece that did floated off down the river. Through that one piece he noticed the shape of something fuzzy and tan. Fuzzy? Creatures like him weren't fuzzy. Creatures that lived on land were fuzzy! Was this a land creature that had somehow found its way to hatch down here? Uh-oh... What happened when newborn land creatures were born under the waves? Not good things he was sure!

Noticing more cracks and more areas that showed the creature within he sprang into action. His beak poked at the stone again but this time with a purpose. Within moments he was able to push it from the riverbed and up towards the surface. It wasn't easy keeping the stone going where he wanted but he was able to do it until it was above the water. Now what? Should he take it to land? That seemed the logical idea but what if it was just a furry sea creature? Perhaps he should wait and see first.

The dolphin put his long beak underneath the stone and held it there. If i was a sea creature he would allow it to go back to the water where it belonged but if it was a land creature he had his beak there to hold it above the water so it wouldn't drown or come to harm. Now, what would happen?

"Talking looks like this."
Thinki

A disturbance quickly brought the young kit within the stone into consciousness. Something kept tapping and tapping against the stone she was encased in. While others would have found annoyance in the disturbance of their peaceful slumber, this little kit did not. It had awoken her and now she was wiggling around within the stone. It was cramped! And she needed to get out! Her curiosity was brimming and she just had to find out what was causing that interesting tapping now.

The cracking of a stone filled her little ears and Mawra felt her heart begin to drum against her chest. This was it! She was going to get out! She wiggled around some more, curious to know why she did not hear any tapping any more, but it was fine. She would break free and she would search for the cause! She stopped moving for a moment. Almost as if she were trying to listen for the tapping again, but to no avail could she hear it anymore. Finally she made up her mind. She would be free.

The webbing of cracks around the stone began to grow larger. For those close to the stone could hear the little kit kicking around, causing the stone to creak and crack even more. Within a split second it seemed the stone sudden gave way. Shattering and sending pieces flying in all direction, most of the shards dropping into the water to be washed down the river. Out from the stone jumped a little kit, having been tossed up from her last attempt at jumping out of the stone. Her little legs flailed around as she quickly looked around. With a high pitched yelp the little Kit went hurling right back for the water.

She had just barely been able to catch a breath before she plunged into the water. Panic arose in her chest as she near violently kicked and clawed at the water. Desperate to reach the surface as instincts told her she definitely would not be able to breathe in this liquid. Though, having just been born and still not quite sure how things words the current of the river made easy work to carry her off.

It was a land critter! So that fur had signified someone that wasn't meant for a life in the water, he was glad that he had rescued it! Only he didn't really rescue it for the creature for it plopped back into the water and was carried off by the water. Oh no! It couldn't swim! It would drown! Panicked the dolphin turned and kicked off with his tail to try and catch the tiny creature before it drowned or was carried off into some tunnel and lost. Eeya went beneath the surface and attempted to come up beneath her so that he could put her on his head where she would be safe.

His plan backfired when he misjudged the distance between him and the pup. He came up beneath her but not with his head, his tailfin caught her which wouldn't be bad if his tailfin wasn't always moving to keep him going. She'd just plot back into the water if he wasn't careful. So, he stalled his fin to it from dropping the wolf back into the water but he forgot how fast he was going. Instead of immediatley stopping and being able to figure out his next course of action the dolphin managed to keep going forward with his momentum and ram his beak into the dirt shore of the land. He wasn't at the part of the shore that inclined nicely to land but a steep drop-off, the reason he was able to get himself stuck. Fortunatley he hadn't run aground and beached himself but he still wasn't good off stuck in the side of the land with his blowhole below water.

Uh oh...

Well, the good news was that the pup could walk up his body and probably make it to land with just wet paws but what about him? How could he get out? Flailing would only send the pup he'd worked so hard to save back into the water. He couldn't even call out for help! What would he do?

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

Shocked confusion gripped at the soaked kit that was not held by a strange tail! Wide emerald eyes looked around anxiously, but when a loud thud was heard she let out a strange fox like cry and it was all she could do to keep herself balanced on the strange thing that was holding her up. Her chest heaved with her erratic breathing as she desperately tried to figure out what was going on. Her mind was in a whirl of panic and jumbled thoughts and it took her a long moment to get herself to calm.

She didn't move at all. Rather, remained laying upon her belly as she now studied the thing that was holding her. What was it? Her fear was quickly replaced with curiosity and she slowly wobbled up to her paws to try and look at it more. Her head tilted to the side in confusion. Half of it was stuck into the dirt! How silly. She giggled a bit before she slowly to unsteady steps further up the creature's tail. She ended up on it's back, the water raising up to her chest as she carefully moved up closer.

She didn't want to fall, but it didn't really occur to her that water was still dangerous for her newborn self. Though she was managing walking, albiet very wobbly, she seemed to get the hang of it even with the water's current. Was this normal for the creature she stood upon? She blinked when she saw the glinting blue upon the thing's back just past a strange little fin. At least she assumed it was a fin. Something felt right about that word for her. Shaking it off she stepped closer and bravely stepped onto the glinting blue. It felt different on her pawpads than the rest of this creature did. How strange.

She turned her gaze back to where the dolphin was stuck in the ground. How odd. She moved further until her paws were close to where the dolphin's nose was plunged into the dirt. Maybe if she... - Her thoughts were cut short as she took her front paws and used to claws to dig at the dirt by the dolphin. She wanted to see the rest of him and this dirt was preventing her! Maybe she could claw this stuff away so she could see. For what seemed like an eternity she pawed and scratched at the dirt, slowly making advances in the dirt until eventually large chunks began to finally break free and be washed away by the water. Just a little more and just maybe she would be able to see the rest of this creature!

In all of his short life he'd never felt sad or sorry for himself but those feelings were starting to creep in now. How had he gotten himself stuck in the wall like this? It was embarrassing and depressing. He was glad no other dolphins were here to see this. They'd probably make fun of him and say he wasn't fit to swim in the water. Out of nowhere the thought of someone making fun of him... Well, it angered him. It wasn't his fault that he was trying to help someone! If he was going to get his face stuck anywhere it was a good thing it was with trying to help an innocent creature than just practicing jumps. As sad as he was about this he was proud that he'd kept the young land-critter from drowning.

He only wished someone could help him from drowning.

He closed his eyes and heaved an inward sigh. Then he noticed something... The weight of the little animal on his tail was moving! It seemed that she was traveling up his back to his head. Did he dare hope that she would save him somehow? The weight continued forward until he lost track of it on his gem then felt it again or rather saw as he opened his eyes. The creature had started digging at the earth around his beak! He would be freed! Just as he'd helped her she was now helping him!

After a little bit of wiggling after she dug the dolphin was free! He didn't immediately float backwards for fear of dropping the critter into the water so he sat there underneath her. His eyes shown with happiness and gratitude at the young one and his lips curved into the biggest grin. "Thanks thanks thanks! Save Eeya, you did!" He whistled to her happily. He wanted to reward her! Thank her in some way! But how? Oh! He knew! There were shiny rocks at the bottom of the water! He could go get her one as soon as she was safe on land!

Thinking looks like this...

The sound of words that came from the dolphin startled the young kit. Having not expecting to have heard something once she had freed the thing. It was enough to cause her to leap up in surprise and jolt forward a bit. She had nearly fallen right back into the water, but her front half had managed to grasp a hold of the edge of the ground and haul half herself up while her other half was kicking around in the water trying to get all of her up. It was hard work, but Mawra soon figured out what she was doing wrong and changed how she was kicking her back paws. With a happy bark like yip Mawra was safe on the land.

Her fur dripped with water, making her paws get a little muddy from the dirt she now stood upon. She grinned and finally turned around to face the water and her new friend. "Sss... sa....saaayyy....saaaave EEEeeeeEya?" She repeated the words the dolphin had spoke. It took awhile for her to get it out, but she did and she was starting to wiggle with excitement as her tail began smacking against the ground. She wasn't quite sure what Eeya meant by her saving him, but it had to be a good thing with how happy he had sounded.

"EeeeeEEeeya," Again she repeated the noise that she would soon learn to be a name rather than just a noise this creature made. "Eeya, saaaafe. G...G-Good," She stuttered with her words. Most others would grow frustrated that they were struggling with words, but not she. She was happy! So happy to talk! Especially with her new friend. She lowered her front half until her little paws just barely touched the water and she gave a wide grin to Eera. "Iiiii. Ii. Marrr...mawr....maaaawra" She purred thoughtfully, testing the word that just seemed to tug at her very being. This creature would be Eeya! And she would be Mawra!

"Yo...y-you. You ah'. Youuu aaarrrr' Eera?" She wanted to make sure that was what she could call this new fishy friend of hers. She could see no legs on him like she had. Though he had a tail! He must live in the water then? She was happy about that. Who knows what would have happened had she been left to the cruelty of the ever flowing river that would have surely swept her off to her death. Of course none of that really occurred to her just yet as she was still just out of her Chrysalis

He could see that the little fox was having trouble keeping on his nose. When she seemed to have trouble getting her back toe-fins up on land the young dolphin came closer and with his head, helped her get up tot he shore. Now it was time for some introductions! The pup turned and sat on the shore, looking straight at him with a smile. Her little tail was wagging and thumping against the ground. Was that some form of happiness? He used his own tail as a propeller to make him go faster in the water but could it be used to show joy too? Only one way to find out! The dolphin raised his own tail fin in the air and waved it back and forth. Unlike hers though it was causing a lot more things to happen by splashing against the surface of the water, creating waves throwing water everywhere. Oops. He stopped wagging his own tail and focused on what the little land-critter was saying.

It seemed she was trying to mimic what he was saying. Well, she had a good start but he was here to help her get going a little better. If she really wanted to make dolphin sounds then what better person to teach her than a dolphin? He blew air out of his blowhole in preparation to speak before raising his beak from the water. "Eeeeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaa!" He demonstrated, showing her how dolphin sounds were supposed to be made. Her little yipping noises and barks were okay for land words but not sea ones. He paused briefly to hear her name. Or so it sounded like her name. She had the basics down on how to sing it but he decided to help her a bit. "Yoooooooooou Maaaaaaauraaaaaaa!" Now. That was how a proper dolphin would say her name. It was the proper tone and the proper sound. Whistling and akin to a song.

She went on to try and pronounce his name but it was all wrong. He shook his head and gently corrected her. "Meeeeeee Eeeeeeeeyaaaaaaa! Eeeeeeeeyaaaaa!" He said for her to hear. "Yooooooooou saaaaaaay." It was fun teaching someone how he had to speak! She'd be a true blue fin-friend in no tie! Well, right after he taught her to swim. Drowning didn't make you a very good dolphin.

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

Laughter escaped the little kit as Eera splashed water all around with his flapping tail. It was silly and looked like a lot of fun! So she too copied that, only with her front paw as it reached out to slap at the water. Of course, her water splashes were tiny in comparison to the dolphin's splashes, but that was okay. Maybe when she was bigger she could make bigger splashes! When Eeya began to speak again her big ol ears jumped up into attention and listened intently. She grinned instantly as he spoke for her, eager to learn how he spoke things and soon enough Eeya said she should say it!

She wiggled around excitedly as she pondered over how he sounded when he spoke the words and soon tried to mimic them. "Maaaaaaaurrraaaaaaa!" She first started with her name, a light happy giggle escaping her as she hoped it sounded like how Eeya had said it. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaa!" And soon she spoke his name too! Laughter sprung forth in her excitement to be saying the words correctly. Or at least as correctly as they would sound when talking with a Dolphin!

She was so glad she had awoke when she had! Not only would she probably had been in big trouble had it been any sooner or later than it had, but she probably also would not have met this soon to be dear friend! "Yes! Correct? Eeeeeeeeeyaaaaaa?" She again mimicked the way he spoke his name, her tail now slapping harder against the ground as it moved quicker with her joy. This was fun! Did all the others, that may or may not exist, here in the area speak in such a sing song voice like Eeya? If so then she would be content. If not, then poop on them! This was a blast and she knew for certain she would most likely sing all the words she would soon learn and speak!

Oh! It seemed she liked the splashes. Eeya laughed along with her and raised his tail up in the air to splash the water again. If she liked it so much then he could keep on doing it or at least until she started speaking again. When the female land-critter started speaking again she sounded distinctly more musical, just like a dolphin! Eeya laughed in excitement and bobbed his head up and down in a "yes". "Yeeessss, yeeeesss. Gooooooooood!" He sang to her. Hmmm... he wondered if he could teach her complete dolphin speech. There was more language to be learned. Time for some basic language! He'd teach her all the words and they could talk to each other, she would really be an official dolphin!

The dolphin used his long beak to point at the vixen then he said, "Maaaaauuuuurraaaaaa e aakii." Mawra is a land creature. Now he stopped pointing at her and made a motion to himself. "Eeeeyyaaaaa e eekii" Eeya is a sea creature. There, that was some real words for her! Could she understand or would he have to go slower? To be fair she had hatched at the bottom of the water and the only one she'd heard so far had been a dolphin. Perhaps she would have a greater affinity for understanding his words than other animals. He hoped so! It was so much easier to say his native words than the strange sounds of the land critters.

"Understand? Eeya can slower talk." He repeated it again in his own native tongue, "Eeeeaaaakiki? Eeeeyyaaaa eki eeeekoooo." He felt like a teacher! A teacher with a nice willing student. He wondered what she would be able to do.
