Twinscar-
Twinscar gave a respectable smile to Savik. But he remained quiet as EbonyPatriot relayed the dream to Savik, not wanting to come off as rude.
Brasil-
Brasil trembled as Xotol had told him he learned his lesson. The burns on his face would probably give him more scars if they didn't heal properly. As Xotol faded from view, he stared at Balatro and Belladonna, legs quivering so much he almost fell back.
"I won't mock Xotol again..." He whispered. Too scared to stay any longer, the alimon, for the first time in his life, turned tail and started to run off.
Thunderia-
Thunderia re-emerged from the forest, this time she was alone. Her ears were flattened against her skull, and her teeth bared. But she laid her eyes on Ferrum only; she refused to look at Kapvik.
"Hello again Ferrum..." She said softly, freezing right where she was.

Rex
"Heheh! Yeah!" Rex agrees at what Koda said. "You were in pretty bad shape."
Though Turgor's comment caught the attention of both brothers, Ken'ichi and Kamali, and Rex. They look at Turgor, what did he mean by Truttle being blood brothers.
"Blood brothers?" Ken'ichi echoes.
"What do you mean by that?" Rex adds.

Ysengrim-
The thin alimon had headed back in the direction where she had met Tanana. She was still seething about their last encounter. "That stupid woman!" Ysengrim growled as her colors changed back to their original state. "Acting as though she could take me on!" She had to laugh. "I'll show her!"

The Wolverines heave a sigh of relief as Brasil flees. "Thank Xotol," gasps Belladonna, re-capturing her voice at last.
"Yeah," agrees Balatro. "Especially since the Pack's disbanded."
"Hush!" snaps Belladonna. Her anger melts away. "But he didn't attack him, or us. That's what I don't get. Do you think that it' true then, what the Wolves say- that Xotol is a Great Spirit, not a Dark Spirit?"
"I don't know," shrugs Balatro, his brain hurting. "Let's go eat- I'm starving."
---
Tanana pats Makoktok, watching Tekkeitsertok leave. "Good-bye, Chief of All Ungulates."
"Huh?" asks the Musk Oxen, raisin his head. "I-aww, he's gone!"
"He'll be back," assures the shaman, frowning. "Now then, hmm, what to do..." She shakes her head. "The first thing to do is find Kenai. Makoktok, do you think you could find him?"
"No," answers Makoktok, rubbing his muzzle against the earthen floor to despertly try to clean it. "But I'm sure Tyonek could. I could take you to him, if you like."
Nodding, Tanana rubs a cloth against the muddy muzzle. "Thank you," says Makoktok, shaking his head. "Now then, come on!"
With that, the two leave the tent and take to the trail.
Some time later, Tanana halts, placing a hand against Makoktok's chest. "She-Alimon, I know you're there," calls the old woman to Ysengrim. "Haven't learned our lesson, have we?"
---
Turgor chuckles, eyes closed. Ah, how could felt to know what others didn't! "Why, Truttle now has some of my blood in his veins. According to Thunderbird traditions, when blood drips into another's veins, those two are brothers. Didn't you know that little...what are you, again?"
---
Ferrum slowly rises, fur bristling. Infantile as his mind is, Kapvik, reading his dame's emotions, bares his little white fangs in a snarl. "Thunderia," whispers Ferrum. "Coward. You, you who dared to refuse my mate, when he ordered you to kill that cub. You, who refused to preserve Tazer's bloodline when I was captured." In her mind, the latter was the worse crime- for, what if she hadn't returned? Her beloved mate would die with all his superior genes with him. (Yes, Wolverines have odd ideas about mates). "Why?"

Ysengrim-
Ysengrim didn't hesitate to show herself. She growled softly as she slowly approached, body bent downward in a threatening posture. "Do you think you have what it takes to defeat an alimon?" She hissed through her teeth.
Thunderia-
Thunderia's ears bent back even further, her own fur standing up straight. "I may have agreed to kill any bear I was told to, but even I had my limits." Her own teeth were fully exposed as her lips pulled back. "However, I do not attack little children! They are innocent. Why involve them?"
Taking another step closer, she continued, "And as for not agreeing to mate with Tazer, I don't mate with psychopaths. I chose to be a loyal follower, not a bearer of his kits!"

OOC: Heheh! Blood brothers! Interesting, doesn't that make Ken'ichi a blood brother with Turgor as well? He did do the same treatment to the bear after all BIC: Rex Rex, Ken'ichi and Kamali looks up at Turgor and listening to his explanation, when a Thunderbird drips its own blood into another, they are joined as blood brothers, sounds like an interesting tale. "Wow, that's a pretty neat tale. And the name's Rex, I'm a Dracovol."

OOC: Heheh, yep! Actually, I got that idea from "Indian in the Cupboard". ;D
BIC: "Things turned out pretty well last time, didn't it," smiles Tanana. "Alimon, don't you realize that I'm not afraid to die? That I wouldn't mind becoming a Great Spirit? It's The Spirits who keep me alive, in fact."
---
"There is no such thing as an 'innocent' Bear," sneers Ferrum. "Do you not think a Bear would take any chance to kill a kit?"
The she-Gulo gulo scoffs. "So, that your great 'reason'? What, do you not want kits?"
---
"A Dracovol, eh? I don't know a Drac-" Turgor opens his eyes. His body goes rigid with fear. "Oh."
""Anthros," Ring-Of-Fire had said to Tazer. "He's afraid of the one living thing that can do us no harm whatsoever."
Yes, Turgor was afraid, dreadfully afraid. His pupils all but disappeared. His heart thundered against his chest; his wing tips trembled violently. "ANTHROS!!!" he screamed in a wailing voice, plummeting the air with his wings; a salvo of thunder echoed across the land. "ANTHROS! A HORRID HYBRID OF MAN AND BEAST!!! IT'S SO UNNATURAL!!! HELP!!! SOMEBODY!!!"
OOC: Ahh...there you go Truttle Bear, payback for all he's done to your character. Sweet revenge. XD

Ysengrim-
The alimon stopped in her tracks. She blinked a few times, and tilted her head. "You are one weird old woman..." Nevertheless, she continued moving forward, snarling. "Why don't you show me what you've got." She broke into a charge.
Thunderia-
Thunderia couldn't help but laugh. "Do you really think a bear cub is stupid enough to try and kill a wolverine kit? No, every animal in the forest should know to be wary of the wolverines. Only animals who are unafraid of wolverines are the alimons and the kemons."
She continued, "And as for kits, sure I've thought about it a few times. But there was never a male I liked."
Her fur was still bristling as she took a few steps closer, careful not to set her eyes on the kit. She did not want to give the impression she was threatening Kapvik. She hated to admit it, but she did not want to kill Ferrum now. The kit was still too young to be without his mother. She would fight, but she would not severely injure Ferrum.
Night Bear-
Night Bear lifted his head up to the sound of Turgor's screeching. He stifled a laughter when he saw Turgor's reaction to the anthro Rex. He was about to say something, but decided against it.

OOC: LOL!!!
BIC: "Whoa!!"
"Waaah!!"
"Gaaah!!!"
Rex, Ken'ichi and Kamali scream as they're taken back by Turgor's sudden cries of fear, his screams replying with a thunder as the Thunderbird flies off. The three watches the bird flying away, confused at its sudden cry and the way he just flew off like that, stricken with fear.
Ken'ichi and Kamali slowly look at each other, then back at Rex, who's still looking up at the bird flying away. He slowly looks at the bears and shrugs, "Did I say something?"

Night Bear-
Night Bear got up, walked right up to the dracovol, leaned in to whisper into his ears. "I think he's afraid of anthros."
Once he had said that, he laid back down, still a bit tired from the previous battle. He rubbed his nose. It was still sore, but the bleeding had stopped. 'Stupid Vetus...' He growled inside his mind.

OOC: Just a quick correction- Turgor hasn't taken off, he's just flapping his wings - it's much more undignified. ;D BIC: Tanana sighs and suddenly to one side, letting the Alimon thunder past. "Makoktok, get out of here!" The Musk Oxen ignores her and, still gurious at his wounds, charges. ---- Miles away, Tyonek's head rockets up, a glazed look in his eyes. "What is it?" stammers Tuque in shock. "I-I just saw a Spirirt Eagle." He shakes his billowing mane and strides forward. "I have to go and save Tanana," he continues. "What? Oh, Tyonek you must have been dreaming, you-" "Watch the herd!" With that, the silver stag gallops grom view, tendons snapping. Tuque turns to the gawking herd. "Did I miss something?" ---- Now it's Ferrum turn to laugh. "Apparently you're the stupid one, considering I asked you a BEAR, not a CUB." Kapvik scrambles in front of his mother, his little vibrating with an attempted snarl. "Get behind me, Kapvik," whispers Ferrum. The little Wolverine stands his ground and hisses at Thunderia. "A true son of Tazer," comments the mother, eyes flashing with pride.

OOC: Hey, EP, you think it'd be funny if Tanana at some point walked up to Ysengrim and bonked her? XD You know she loves to bonk. XD
BIC:
Ysengrim-
Ysengrim snarled when she nearly slammed into a tree. She shook her head, and turned around. Makotok was charging straight for her. Smiling, she leapt straight over him, allowing him to continue charging in the wrong direction. Before the musk oxen could turn around, she charged forward and, without cutting her talons into his hide this time, she reared onto her hind legs and slammed downward, knocking Makotok down and foward a little.
Thunderia-
"Bear, cub, what does it matter?" Thunderia whispered. She is starting to wonder whether or not this was a good time and place to confront Ferrum. She then heard Kapvik hiss.
'Yes, a true son of Tazer.' She thought to herself. 'Smart kit. Knows when to get tough.' Thunderia had no interest in harming the kit. She only wanted to fight Ferrum.
Taking just one step closer, and preparing herself for a fight, she said, "Do you want to settle things once and for all?" She perked her ears forward and then put them back. "Do you want to get back at me for 'betraying' Tazer? Well here's your chance."

Rex
The Dracovol blinks from what Night Bear whispered to him, if Rex had flexible ears like the Bears this would be the time it would be twitching like crazy at the word "Anthro" 'Anthro?' The Dracovol thinks to himself. 'What the heck's an anthro?'

Night Bear-
Night Bear looked up at Rex, who seemed a bit confused. He chuckled again, and said softly, "If you don't know what an anthro is, it's pretty much an animal who has a human-like appearance, like the way your hands are shaped, the way your legs are shaped, the way you stand upright.." Thinking he said enough, he settled his head back on the ground, his ears lowering in deep thought.

Rex
Rex blinks as Night Bear explained to him what an anthro is. He looks at his humanoid paws at the mention of "hands", he looks at his feet and toes at the mention of "feet", he also looks at his legs and torso when the bear mentioned at how upright he stands. 'Like a human...' Rex thinks to himself. 'Whoa...'
