I can't believe all of this, it's all so...so...confusing isn't the word I'm looking for...I'm not so sure what to call it.
I close my eyes hard while breaking a few tears as Spectrue tells us about how family was murdered by that same hunter we fought at the top of the mountain. I feel bad about asking Spec about his family now, I should've thought of another question...
I listen as Niki asks Spec if he would want to be teached on how to live like a bear, just to try and cheer him up and if Spec decides to live with us as a bear. I dry up my tears as Niki goes to sleep, I hope that'll make Spectrue feel better.
I yawn and lie down to get some sleep, but before I do...
"Do you have anything else you wanna ask...?" I hear Spec asking me.
I opened my eyes a little, "Not really, I'm a little bit curious about this Soul Quart thing, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning..." Then a question I wanted to ask pops up in my mind, "One more thing, when you used that red prism to revive me when I was dying from that arrow, what did it do that removed me of almost all of my scars?"

Ken'ichi opened his eyes, "Not really, I'm a little bit curious about this Soul Quart thing, but I guess I'll find out tomorrow morning..."
"Okay... I'm sure you will..."
Before I laid down he also forgot one more question.
"One more thing, when you used that red prism to revive me when I was dying from that arrow, what did it do that removed me of almost all of my scars?"
"It's hard to say actually... You see, the red prism helped strengthen the green prism to help heal your wounds. In the process, it nearly made your entire body scar-free...Except that one that used to go down from your right cheek to your chest..Now it only goes down from neck to chest in a slight slit... The red prism has power, Ken'ichi. Power, Strength, and most importantly a strong endurance. That endurance helped get rid of the scars some how, along with strengthening your skin... It made your worries and scars disappear... It's like a red dose for the heart and body..." I laid down finally.
"Now goto sleep, if we don't, I'll be surprissed to wake up at all...Good night Ken'ichi. Pleasant dreams...And think about what you want the soul quart to become, eh?"
I smiled as I closed my eyes, finally drifted off to sleep.

Spectrue calls me before I fall asleep.
"Hey wait...before you goto dreamland..."
"Hm?"
"I forgot to tell you... My real name is Spectrum. I only said my name was Spectrue in the begining because I thought maybe bears with weird names like that would be catious around me... But...Yes...Spectrum is my real name. But you may still call me Spectrue as always, mainly in bear form, I suppose..."
I nod.
"Yea...Thanks for telling me. That's cool Spectru~m. But I'll keep it at Spectrue, since I'm used to it. Good night..."
Asleep.

Spectrue explains to me how the red prism works, "It's hard to say actually... You see, the red prism helped strengthen the green prism to help heal your wounds. In the process, it nearly made your entire body scar-free...Except that one that used to go down from your right cheek to your chest..Now it only goes down from neck to chest in a slight slit...

Hm, I guess I understand. A red dose for the heart and body? There's Spectrue's mystical talk again, ha-ha.
"Now goto sleep, if we don't, I'll be surprissed to wake up at all...Good night Ken'ichi. Pleasant dreams...And think about what you want the soul quart to become, eh?"
What my Soul Quart will become? Hm...well, I chose for a friend...No, a brother. I wonder...I guess I want him to look a little like me, white fur around his neck, black fur, silver fur on his arms and legs, kinda like Koda's. And his eyes just like Niki's. And about his attitude and personality...Well...like me, serious, inflexible, a little bit of care-free like Koda, and playful of course, Niki won't always be around and won't always play with me...Hm, what else...maybe wild? Ha-ha, guess not much of a custom.
Yeah...another brother of my age, if only it could reincarnate my brother, Kamali...yeah...that would be...great...zzz

A female bear cub about the same size as Koda walked around the woods. Her dad had been killed and she was all alone. She was a light brown with white around her neck. She was small and had ice blue eyes.She had been looking for food for along time and was very tired and hungry."I must find some food..."she said to her self.She was going to pass out very soon.If she did not find any food soon she would pass out in the cold with no one to take care of her.

I watched as Spectrue took the darksoul and, with the help of Nikiski and Ken'ichi, purified it. Although, I still didn't know what it was. I guess since everyone is so tired that maybe I shouldn't prod about it until morning.
Then I hear Spectrum talking about his previous family and how he had been human! Now I knew why he had always been so clumsy as a bear. He was like me! Well, kind of like me anyway. At least I didn't lose my whole family to a crazed murderer. I'll definately have to talk to him later.
I decided to go outside the cave for a little while to rest. I put my back against the wall and I fell...........alseep.....................zzzzzz.

The spirit like Soul Quart went into Ken'ichi's body. "Don't worry, it isn't doing anything right now but sleeping. In the morning, you will know that the choice you made now will have come true, due to the small thing inside of you, working hard to relize your thoughts, personallities, and strengthes in life. Before you know it, in the morning you will see results." Spectrue told Ken'ichi. "Well...it seems that the stars have befallen us. Let us go back and sleep for the night."
He walked in with Niki and Ken'ichi. I follow close behind while looking at Ken'ichi. When we get in the cave, Niki sits by Ken'ichi. I sit on his other side. "Well...you see... I've had really horrible nightmares...and all of them are connected to my past. They are what is left of me, what has happened to me...Before I was a fox boy... Before...in those dreams...I lived happily...in a human family..."
I gasp. He was from a human family? Everyone starts asking questions and Spectrue answers them. He talks about how his human family was killed. I fight back tears. Then Spectrue tells us his real name is Spectrum but we can still call him SPectrue.
Niki lays daown by Ken'ichi and closes his eyes. Ken'ichi asks Spectrue one more question before he goes to sleep. After, he goes to sleep yoo. I close my eyes and try to fall asleep.
I wake up in the middle of the night sweating. I had dreampt about my family dying again. But this time at the end I met Ken'ichi but Kia jumped on me and killed me. That's when I woke up. I need to get some fresh air. I walk out of the cave and sit down.
I think about Kia. She needs help but she just won't listen. I try to see things through her eyes. She probably has no parents then she meets three cubs. She starts acting like she owns one of them because she doesn't know what else to do. Then the one she loves starts liking one of her friends. She doesn't know what to do so she blames her friend.
I close my eyes. If only Kia could see things through my eyes she would understand. She would see a cub that has no friends and her family died but then finds some friends.. She like one of them but doesn't show it. Then when the cub starts liking her back, her other friend gets all mad at her for something she can't help.
I look up at the sky and cry out, "Kia, just look through my eyes!"

(Ken'ichi's dream)-(3rd person)
Ken'ichi opens his eyes and finds himself in a meadow, filled with roses and pollen. He stands up and wonders where he is. Paradise? The afterlife? The forest?
Ken'ichi hears a roar in the distance, as if someone is calling him. He looks ahead of him to see a bear bigger than him padding to him through the mist, though not big enough to be considered an adult bear. Ken'ichi looks harder and can make out of the bear's physical look. Back fur, silver maine, on white eyepatch on his right eye, silver fur on his arms and legs. At first, Ken'ichi thought it was another cub close to the age of an adult, but that all changed when Ken'ichi heard his voice.
"Greetings, Ken'ichi!"
Ken'ichi recognized that voice and his eyes widen as the bear walked out of the mist, he immediatly looked at the bear's eyes and knew who he was.
"Kamali?" Ken'ichi whispered with a hint of tear in his eyes.
The bear nodded and lowered his body, he is Kamali!
"Kamali!" Ken'ichi shouted as he ran at him.
Ken'ichi jumped at Kamali and hugged him. The force of the jump made Kamali stumble back into a sitting position and he laughed as Ken'ichi hugged him. Ken'ichi could be heard crying, but his cries quickly turns to laughter as Kamali sets him on his back.
"Ken'ichi?" Niki's voice could be heard in the other side of the meadow, looking around where Ken'ichi is. Niki looks ahead and sees Ken'ichi riding on Kamali's back, padding toward him.
"Hey Niki, you remember Kamali, right?" Ken'ichi says to Niki as he rides his brother's back with a smile.
Kamali grins, "Hello Niki, good to see you again."
Niki chuckles in happiness and nods.
Kamali sniffs and pads over to a cave close to them, "Do I smell salmon, Niki? I'm starving."
Niki smiles and playfuly glares at Kamali, "Yeah, but you're not going to eat any of them without washing your paws first."
Kamali laughs, "Oh c'mon Niki, I just got here."
Kamali walks inside the cave, Niki couldn't help but laugh and decides to go catch some more fish since he has an extra bear joining them.
"I can't believe you're here Kamali!" Ken'ichi cries as he sits besides his brother, "How did you managed to come back to life?"
Kamali looks at Ken'ichi, "Actually Ken'ichi, it was you who brought me back. Your love to me was so strong that your Soul Quart granted your deepest desire."
Ken'ichi blinks, "Soul Quart? Oh yeah, that thing inside of me." Ken'ichi looks around, then back at Kamali, "So what you're saying is..." Ken'ichi thought about what he was going to say, that made him so happy that he tackled Kamali, "You're going to be my new brother that the Soul Quart is going to make?!"
Kamali chuckles as he rubs his little brother's head, "Yes, not exactly as you remember me, but yes."
Ken'ichi smiles, "Oh Kamali, I don't care how you would be reincarnated, just as long as I get to be with you and Niki."
Ken'ichi hugs his brother, Kamali smiles and holds him close. Ken'ichi sheds a tear as he hugs his brother.
"I can't wait..." He whispers.

I sigh sadly. There is nothing more I could do for Kia. She is on her own. I know she likes Kovu, but she hasn't forgoten about Ken'ichi and still loves him. Maybe over time she will find true love in Kovu. Then maybe she will forgive us and be friends again.
I try to smile. All I can do is hope for the best. I let a few tears slip down. I hope Kia is going to be OK. I head back into the cave. I lie back down next to Ken'ichi. I have a hard time falling asleep, but eventually I drift off.

Post by Urctos on 07/12/2004 at 15:47:03
Concealed behind the leaves of bushes and undergrowth, the figure of a shadowy beast gazed intently at the scene before it.
The creature went by the name of "Urctos". His coat was purely black: a color rare among grizzly bears and had eyes of a dull orange hue. Slashing across his face was a pink and raw scar, festering with a burning infection. It seemed to almose slice the right side of his head in half, running diagonally from the ridge of his eye, cutting across his cheekbone, and ending it's mortal trail down at his jowl.
The large bear had been sitting there for about an hour or so and had just started to follow the pack of bears in hiding as well. He was fearful of approaching the group because of the anxiety of them shooing him away or becoming frightened of the ebony grizzly. Urctos continued to watch as the sleuth took refuge inside a cavern for the night.
The ears pricked upwards as the sounds of sleep began to fill the empty nighttime air from within the shelter. Urctos stood rigid and trudged with careful paws from the darkness and into the open. His eyes wandered to the star-speckled skies every so often, glad he was in his element: the night. Urctos stood a few meters from the entrance with the shyness of a deer fawn. He began to examine the resting bears with caution... able to recognize some of them a bit. He remembered Ken'ichi, who was now sound asleep... yet all the others seemed like strangers.
Urctos raised a paw inside the cave and held it in midair, hesitiant and a tad afraid. It withdrew against his chest quickly as if it touched a hot surface. He frowned sorrowfully and began to turn his back on the bears. Craning his neck, he took one final glance at the beasts peacefully dozing, and lurched back to where he was before, leaving nothing but a pawprint in his wake. He lowered himself down upon his belly, resting his chin on his claws and eventually nodding off to dreamland.
((OoC: I hope that wasn't too confusing. XD I wanted to join but couldn't find the perfect place for him until now. )

OOC: Since I had already begun typing this. I'm going back several days to have something to do. Showing what I did while I was gone.
BIC:
(Where I left off.)
I was engulfed in Sioul's story. He told me about the Saber toothed tiger, the waterfall, the storm, and the flood. I was so taken back by his story. That I remained speechless even after his story was over.
"Stop daydreaming and wake up!" He yells.
"Okay! Geez! I hear you! You really ran into a bit of trouble for running off on your own like that. I could have help beat up that tiger if I was there. But I guess you didn't let him get the best of you huh? Your really learning how to fend for yourself. Now I know how your were able to make out here by yourself. I'm really proud of you." I pat him on the shoulder and he smiles giving me a hug.
The sky hadn't really cleared from the storm of the previous night. Thunder could be heard in the distance.
"We'd better get out of here before the storm comes in. Come on Sioul."
A lightning bolt struck the forest in the distance. a column of smoke began to rise from the forest. The forest wouldn't be safe with a fire breaking loose. I took Sioul back to our den and stayed there for the rest of the day.
The season was getting colder and the climate was changing drasticly. Food was starting to get scarse around this season. The next day I had taken Sioul out to forage for berries and teach Sioul how to hunt for deer and caribou. We were hiding behind some bushes looking at a deer grazing a few yards ahead of us.
I wispered to him. "Okay don't make any noise. We don't want it to run off before we can even get close."
"What?" he says.
"I said be quiet." I said raising my voice slightly.
"What did you say?" He says even louder.
"Stop making so much noise." I say, gritting my teeth in frustration.
"I can't hear you!" He continues.
"Grrrrr SHUT UP!!!" I yell.
This caused the deer to bolt off in a quick run before I could even notice in time to react.
"Oh for the love of-!!!"
I ran for the deer but lost track of him before I could make it a few yards away.
"Well this is just great! I can't believe we lost it because of you!"
Sioul:"Well it wasn't my fault! You didn't warn me to be quiet!"
Me:"Your the one who's too deaf to hear anything!"
Sioul:"You went too far that time! You know that I'm deaf in one ear from that accident!"
Me:"Okay! I'm sorry! I know you have trouble hearing. I won't bug you about it anymore. Come on. Let go back home and rest for the day. Maybe tomarrow we should go to the salmon run and see if we can get some fish over there. They're a lot easier to catch anyway."
We headed back and slept until morning. We would be going back to the salmon run the next day.
OOC: Thats about as much as I can do until everyone wakes up. I don't have the creativity to initiate anything to move the roleplay ahead, so I'll leave up to you guy's and I'll try to follow along.

OOC: I think I'll join this roleplay, hope that's alright!
BIC: Silently, sweepingly I dart across the open plain, under the cloudy night sky. Freedom. I could hardly be seen, my jet-black fur blending with the dark surroundings around me. All that could really be seen of my form was the silver-grey fur that ran down my back and on my chest, shimmering as the moon peered around the rain-filled clouds. I loved the feel of the wind in my face as I ran, and the sound of distant thunder awoke my senses even more. Lightning crackled across the sky, sending its fingers to the uttermost edges of the clouds. For that brief moment, you could have seen me, lit up in the radiant light. I continued to run, as the clouds above could no longer carry their heavy burdon, and they let loose the flood of rain. I let it fall onto my fur, it felt as free as the wind.
Halting suddenly, I sensed a change in the wind. I could smell smoke, but as I looked ahead, I saw that it was only the remnants of a dying forest fire. I walked warily around the scorched ground, when another scent caught my nose. That of wolves. More than one, but not many. Perhaps it was a pack? It might very well have been, so I approached with caution. Not many would take kindly to a lone wolf, having taken free choice of leaving a pack. Not that it was entirely what I would have done, had circumstances been different. I continued on, coming near a long snake-like river, and I lowered my muzzle to lap up a drink. The water flowed cooly down my throat, and dripped onto my chest fur. It was then I saw the wolves, though they had not seen me. I remained, as I usually did, in the shadows, clinging to the thing that was my namesake. I watched with grey eyes darting at the four wolves, three adults and one pup. I watched warily, trying to remain hidden in the darkness.
OOC: How's that?

OOC~ Basically me and Ken'ichi share the same dream... so I won't retype it here...
Welcome, Ohanzee and Urctos!
That's all right Talist!
BIC~
I wake up to the beautiful sunrise... I open my eyes to find the cave filled with a slight red color.
Wait, there's somebody on my back...
"Ken'ichi... what are you doing on top of me?" I say as I am staring at nothing.
"What? I'm next to you!"
"Whoa?" I turn to see Ken'ichi on my right... who's this on my back then...
I turn my head around...
I see a cub on my back... white maine... black and silver fur...
He slowly opens his eyes, looking in my direction...
"Eer, good morning!" I say.

OOC: Welcome, Ohanzee and Urctos!
BIC:
I slowly wake up from that dream, still feeling Kamali's hug...Wait, it's morning already?
I could hear Niki waking up with a few groans and movement, "Ken'ichi... what are you doing on top of me?"
Huh? I'm not on Niki, "What? I'm next to you!"
Niki looks at me like if he's losing his mind or something. I know it can't be Kirchy because she's right next to me, and Koda is with Kenai on the other side of the cave...Wait...the Soul Quart...the choice...brother bear...
"Eer, good morning!" I hear Niki say.
I shrug and lie down again to sleep, I'm still pretty sleepy and I can wait a little bit more to see the Soul Quart's promise.
"Hehe, good morning Niki." My ears perk up and I open my eyes...that voice...It can't be...
I raise my head and slowly turn around, a cub is sitting on my brother's back. Black fur...silver maine...one white eyepatch on his right eye...silver fur on his arms and legs...
"It's good to see you again, Ken'ichi...in person..."
I stand up, my eyes fixed on the cub, he just looks at me with a grin, probably knowing what to expect. I put one paw on Niki's body, stand up on my hind legs and look at his eyes...Those ocean blue eyes...
"Kamali?" I had to ask, Spec told me if I dreamt of what my friend was gonna be...and I dreamt about Kamali...and he told me he would be here...I had to make sure.
The cub just grinned wider, "The one and only!"
As soon as he cried that, he jumped on me and we both started wrestling about, rolling around the cave. It's him! I know it! Those eyes...this strength...the feeling of his touch...this personality...everything! It's really him!
"It's really you!" I cry as we keep wrestling about.
"It sure is!" He cries back.
After a while of wrestling, we stop and sit up to catch out breath. None of us could pin each other, our strengths are evenly matched, we have to wrestle all day till one of us gets tired to make a pin.
I turn to Kamali and hug him, "it's good to have you back..."
Kamali hugs me, "I'm glad to be back."
I part from the hug and look around. Uh-oh, our little game has awoken everyone up, everyone is staring at us. I laugh nervously and look at Spectrue.
"It worked."
