Sola leapt down the tree, then her delicate ocelot nose picked up a scent. It smelled strange, like a wolf, but not a wolf. Curious, she started to prawl in that direction on the forest floor, following the scent trail. Fiero followed her, squawking warnings, but Sola ignored him, jumping up a tree when she felt the scent was becoming stronger. "A wolf!" She thought, seeing a brown wolf [Mavyrk]. "Strange... he does not smell like one." Sola was rather confused by this strange wolf.

[[Did I get the facts right? Sorry if I didn't x.x ]]

Marco watched Naida stroll out of his home, grumbling to himself. "Why can't she help pick up her messy hair?" He said, throwing the last strands out. Not bothering to go after her, he slumped back on his chair. Girls were weird.

((Feyth that would be great if Naida showed up ^^))

Leaping and putting her right hand to her chest Lyra quickly turned around. Once she spotted the leopard she smiled and dropped her hand to rest on a near by tree.

"Oh, it's you Aki. You startled me." She said somewhat breathless right after the leopard transformed back into her human form.

"I heard some funny sounds from the bushes, but i guess it was you" She said giggling to herself. But as she finished her sentence more sounds came from the bushes near by.

"...Alright maybe it wasn't you."

Lyra stared at the boy...no, girl that had came out of the bushes. She had really horrible clothes, and that was coming from someone who would run around naked if possible. She sighed and just leaned against the tree nearest to her.

"Yes, i know a Shapeshifter. Their just by that waterfall, with the Unicorns and Leprechauns." She said in a sarcastic tone at the new comer. She wasn't about to blow her cover and be made into a fur coat any time soon.

Naida's eye brightened for a moment and then dimmed as she realized that the other girl was being sarcastic. She frowned and folded her arms, leaning up against a tree. "You're not telling the truth, I just know it." the girl said and turned away.

In the bl
ink of an eye, Aki was up in a tree as a leapord, sitting percuriously in the shadows. Should I kill her now? Aki's eyes seemed to say as she watched Lyra...

Mavryk stopped in his tracks and lifted his nose up, causing it to wiggle slightly as he picked up a scent. A scent of.. ocelot? But there was something different about this scent. He turned his head to look around and the fur on his neck rose, as if daring the creature to attack him. But he didn't think it would attack him. "Is anyone out there?" He whispered quietly, trying to pinpoint the scent of the ocelot.

Aerelo sighed as he padded in a random direction. Where was his brother? Mavryk was most likely not going to be near large amounts of water, unless he was that thirsty. His brother, for some reason, didn't like being near large amounts of water. Aerelo stopped as he picked up a scent. It was a wolf, and he was pretty sure it was his brother's scent. Keeping his pace in a calm walk, he followed the scent as best as he could and hoped to find his brother not too far ahead.

Lyra smiled as the girl frowned. She looked up at the trees to see Aki ready to pounce. Quickly she shook her head,

"Not now, wait for Mavryk. He might help you."

There was something about this girl that didn't feel right. Getting up from her spot she turned back into her mink form and hopped into the lake. She knew she wouldn't find Mavryk this way since he hated the lake, but maybe she could find someone else to help her out.

Mavryk was still looking around and he raised his tail threateningly when heard some one say 'hello'. He turned his head to look at what said that and relaxed once he saw what appeared to be the ocelot he scented a while ago. "Hello," he said carefully. He took a step closer to the ocelot and tilted his head slightly to his right. "You seem different. Not like any other ocelots I've seen." The fur on his neck slowly layed flat as he thought, Actually, you're probably the only ocelot I've seen. Of course, he's not going to admit that right now.

Aerelo was about to give up. He lost the scent of what he a$$umed was his brother a few minutes ago. He inhaled and got the scent of water, and it came from the direction where the lake should be at. Deciding to get a quick drink of water, he began trotting toward the lake, his ears flicking in different directions a few times to try catching any sounds of his brother. Although he wasn't sure his brother would make sounds to tell him where he was.

Once he reached the lake he bent his head down and started lapping at the water with his tongue. He was able to take a good number of laps from the water before he spotted something swimming. It looked like a mink. He lifted his head and ran his tongue over his whiskers before asking, "Is that you Lyra?"

Lyra kept swimming while trying to find anyone she might recognize. However she got distracted by a wonderful scent that she recognized.

 'Crayfish!' she thought to herself. As she was about to dive in for the kill she heard her name being called. Turning her head she saw Aerelo having a drink. Forgetting the scent she screamed,

"Aerelo!" She said with a bright smile while swimming to the edge of the lake.

"I need your help!"

Aerelo tilted his head slightly. "Help with what?" He asked curiosly. He watched Lyra swim over to the edge of the lake and his eyes wandered over to area of the lake. There were small ripples in the water here and there, and he guessed they were caused by fish. "Does it have something to do with the fish?" He asked slowly. "Because I'm not all that good at catching them. Or even swimming to the area where they usualy are."

~~~

Mavryk raised an eyebrow, though you probably couldn't have seen him do so. This ocelot acted rather strange. Trying to think of something else to say, he flicked his tail and introduced himself. "My name's Mavryk. What's yours?" As he waited for an answer, he turned his attention to the bird that was chirping. He felt like the bird was following the celot, but he dismissed that thought and waited to see if the ocelot would tell him her name.

Once Lyra reached the edge of the lake she shook her wet fur and laid down. A bit out of breath she said,

"No you silly, i can catch fish all by my self."  She said with a small giggle.

"I need your help with this girl that  found Aki and I. I find her a bit suspicious and she might know about us." Lyra finally caught her breath and sat down on the damp earth at the edge of the rippling water. She could hear those wonderful fishes, begging to be eaten. Maybe she would roast one with some fresh herbs that she spotted while having a swim.

Coming back from her fantasy she looked at Aerelo and begged,

"Please help us! We would be really happy if you would, and if Mavryk came it would be even better." She finished the sentence off with 'the puppy eye' look. No one can resist that.

However right after Lyra spoke another strange sound came from above the trees.

"Aki? Is that you?" She asked with a suspicious tone.

"You did what?!" She stared at Aki with her mouth wide open. She watched the leopard then turn into a hawk, and then back to human. After a few seconds she closed her mouth and replied,

"Well... at least you didn't kill her." She sighed and turned into her human form to join Aki. Lyra then turned to Aerelo and asked,

"Well do you have any idea where Mavryk might be?" He had to be around here somewhere and the more Shifters the better. Lyra tilted her right ear upwards trying to hear any sound that might be Mavryk, but nothing came back but leaves in the wind. Her hearing wasn't as good as when she was a mink. However she didn't feel like transforming back again.

"Alright then, lets go find Mavryk. Hopefully there isn't another human in here." She said while brushing a few leaves of her shoulders.
