"always a good idea" chica said smiling

When the storm came through, Skaliscin and Speckles had climbed down the cave to escape from the pelting rain. They continued to sleep, even when the downpour ceased. This time, they were coiled up together. Skaliscin's tail was intertwined with Speckles, warming him despite being cold-blooded.

Quote: Wyrstel

Royal flies over drapes his wings over Sybil before with a smile falling asleep beside her.

Sybil saw Royal, but after he went to sleep, she decided not to disturb him. She continued towards the beach, still struggling with the weight of the mud stuck in her paws.

After reaching the beach and cleaning her paws, she was surprised by a huge wave coming towards her. "Sybil, Sybil Sybil. The birds! They are on their way! It looks like they were successful!" said the youngest of the orcas, a female one named Glimmer, and sister of the orca brothers she spoke to earlier. Those news were so good, Sybil even forgot she was all wet...

"Ugh... what?" Skaliscin groaned, her eyes trying to coordinate her surroundings.
Speckles didn't stir; the serpent's tail was still coiled around him.

Chica came up to the group. "are you guys okay?"

Sybil returned to the forest with the biggest grin she came up with. She walked all around the forest, making sure everything went perfect once the birds arrived.

chica could hear foot steps, light footsteps of a small animal, above ground. poking her head of the cave in the cave, she saw sybil, looking happier than she ever seen before. did i miss something?

"Ngh... it's-s-s fine," Skaliscin drearily replied before resting her head back down. She was exhausted, so it had hardly been thirty seconds before she drifted right back to sleep again.
Speckles muttered something under his breath, but didn't wake.

As everybody asked Sybil the motive of her happiness, she smiled more. After daydreaming for a little while, she finally responded. "The birds guys. The birds are coming back! And they succeeded." she explained, almost singing those words. It was very unusual seeing that civet so happy and ecstatic. She was usually a stressed and withdrawn creature...

Sybil was then reminded that Rose wasn't there when she sent the birds on the mission. "You see dear one, I want this Haven to be as safe as possible, so I sent my flying friends to recruit Keas to guard our skies." she happily explained to the young tiger.

Royal is high in his tree resting, but quite aware of the excitement beneath him. Jaerl however is pacing along a branch in his tree, thinking about all the feelings he has been feeling. Ivor having finished his work sleep beneath the crystals unaware of all the excitement. Unable to move I listen to the wind hoping to find out what has happened. Soon the wind relates the news. I smile weakly as my tail wraps gently but tightly around me.

...Sybil wasn't sure if to tell the truth, she didn't want to create panic to that tiny little life. "You can never be too careful" was her only response. It was no lie, but not a concrete answer either.

chica realised that sybil wasnt telling everything. now she faces a decision. tell her what really happened, but she will feel unsafe, or dont say anything, but would go around not knowing anything.

Sybil slowly shakes her head in negation, warning Chica not to say a word...

Chica kept her mouth shut.

The spindly duo was totally oblivious to Rose's generous decision. Skaliscin twitched slightly, but relaxed as quickly as she had tensed up. Speckles groaned in his sleep again.

That unsafeness Rose felt made Sybil a little uneasy. And just when she thought her happiness was going to last... Nevertheless, she left the group, and walked all around the forest in a hurry, making sure there was nothing out of the ordinary once the birds arrived. She fully monitored everything she could to make sure that unwelcome visitors (like mongooses) weren't around...

Everything was in order. Neither a mongoose or dingo in sight. And the day was beautiful... at least, what was left of it. Only two hours until dusk, so Sybil hoped that the birds arrived before nightfall. She was nocturnal, but the birds weren't, and it was going to be hard having them settled once they arrived, especially if the had Keas with them.

Chica looked at rose. Had she knew what she was thinking, ow both herself and Sybil were thinking? "your right," Chica said, "the past was the past, now is now"

Jaeel after making sure his mongoose friend is comfortable, leaves him a fresh fish for when he gets up. Then he decides to visit me in my hollow. Flying into the very large hollow that so kind birds made for me, he sees me sleeping with tears falling down my face as I sleep. Not wanting to disturb me but hating to see me like this he slowly begins to walk toward me. Then I start calling someone's name in my sleep. He stops so that he can catch it.

"Chica, where are you? I'm so scared, Chica," I say. My body begins to shake and quiver. Jaerl wanting to help but sensing Chica and maybe Rose can do more do more for me. He takes off as quietly as his can and upon finding Chica and Rose, he speaks.

"Chica, Rose, can I talk to you guys for a minute," he says.

Chica looked at jaerl. "has something bad happened?"

"Its Aeriji, he must be remembering something from his past. Something terrifying by the look of it, his entire body is shaking. Anyway he keeps calling out you name," Jaerl says. He then decides to take a stroll along the beach little does he know after all the tender care that he gave the mongoose, it will betray him. Finding a log, he perches on it and gaze out at the sea. Suddenly he is struck from behind and knocked out cold. The mongoose that smirks as clamp his jaws around Jaerl's wings and carries him in his mouth, toward the outback.

Unfortunately for the mongoose, Cairo the orca leader saw this. He knew that was Jaerl, and knowing the dire situation, made that desperate, whistling sounds orca's make.

Sybil was only two quarters of a mile away, and she heard the sound. Cairo no doubt. She would have hoped that it was the signal of the bird's arrival, but that sounded too serious. As fast as she could, she arrived there in almost only five minutes. "Cairo... wha... what's wrong?" she asked. When Cairo explained, nothing but horror. How? She monitored the forest. Like a bullet towards a victim, she headed for the outback, yelling "ANYONE! HELP! HELP! LISTEN!" she screamed while running. She hoped she could reunite Chica and the others ton that desperate, rescue mission...

The mongoose smiles. As he can finally allow him and his kind to get their revenge on Sybil. "Foolish bird, now you shall pay the ultimate price. With you dead we shall make Sybil and all the others leave this place, returning it back to its rightful owners, us. With that he carries Jaerl's still form and is joined by his fellow mongoose. "Is he dead," they ask. The mongoose shake his head. Only conscious we'll let the dingoes do the dirty work of killing him. After all he did kill one of their own. The mongooses smile thinking about how this was the ultimate revenge. Good luck, they say to their friend before vanishing into the forest again. The mongoose smiles as they disappear. Laying Jaerl at the den of dingoes after biting at him and ripping at his form enough that the scent of blood attracts the dingoes he vanishes into the forest with the rest.

Royal hears Sybil's call and flies down to join her. Anvor and Bjorn join her as well. I hear but am too injured to assist. "What is matter Sybil," Royal and the elephant brothers ask in concern.

draco's home was in the outback, and stopped in front of the mongooses. he sneered. "it looks like its dinner time"

chica was already chasing after the mongooses since it attacked jaerl. she stopped behind a bush and watched draco

The mongooses laugh. "Its too late overgrown lizard, your falcon friend is finished. The Dingoes are probably gorging on him now. See you later," they say laughing. Meanwhile Jaerl has regained consciousness, only to see the Dingoes surrounding him again. Their leader is no where to be seen. Hey look all he's awake. Well falcon have any last words before we tear you apart," snarls the leader of the group that surrounds him. Jaerl is terrified he tries to raise his legs to defend himself but cannot. Every inch of his body is covered in wounds. Unable to defend himself Jaerl lets out a loud cry hoping that the others will hear him.

When Royal asked, Sybil was about to answer, only to hear Jaerl's cry in the distance. "That should answer your question... OH COME ON! NO TIME TO LOSE!" Sybil then heard, and continued running. She ran so fast, it amost looked like she was wearing springs. She ran towrds the exact same spot the cry was heard. If Jaerl survives, she was going to give him and herself the scold of their lives...

"you gotta go past me" Chica said, towering over the dingoes, and next to jaerl. Draco snapped at the mongooses, quickly, and ready. O finish them off with what they call "the death roll"

Royal lands beside Jaerl and glares at the dingoes. His talons glisten like knives in the light. If the group that had arrived was not enough, Anvor and Bjorn arrive with Sybil beside them. The dingoes retreat with a snarl. Jaerl sees the anger in her face and bows his head.

"I'm sorry Sybil, I'm really sorry. I should have just did what you said, but I thought I could change that mongoose for the better, but he stabbed me in the back. I'll let you handle things from now on for I obviously know nothing."

Jaerl that collapses unconscious beside her. Royal says nothing but his glare lets them all know what he is thinking. Those mongooses are dead! He then takes off into the air leaving the others with Sybil. Bjorn and his brother remain at Sybil's side as her guards.

Sybil was both grateful and angry. She really was proud of her friends. They fought the dingoes so well, she didn't even had to intervene. But she wondered why the dingoes were there in the first place. She really was hoping to see the mongooses instead and gave him a wound it would forever remember.

Anyway, now that all the madness was over, she turned into Jaerl. Her face only showed one thing; anger. She was so infuriated it was even scary "Now Jaerl... YOU SEE WHY THOSE STUPID VARMINTS CAN'T BE SHOWED ANY MERCY!? IF CAIRO WASN'T THERE TO INFORM ME..." she stopped, thinking of the horror of the results if it wasn't because of the orca leader was at the right place at the right time. If Jaerl wasn't as injured as he was, she would have probably slapped him. "You know what? Never mind, let's just go home." she said while looking at everybody. Jaerl had her so disappointed, she avoided eye contact with everyone.

Bjorn goes with Sybil but Anvor does not. Anvor vanishes into the forest, but not before saying farewell to his older brother. Bjorn gently places Jaerl on his back, turns to Sybil before gently grabbing her with his trunk and placing her on his back beside Jaerl. After a little while Jaerl begins to stir. As he heads toward her home, he speaks. His voice is like thunder.

"Sybil I know that what happened to Jaerl may have scared you to death, but it was not his fault. It was the mongoose, the traitor that he trusted, that stabbed him in the back. I know you told him not to trust them but Jaerl just wanted to help. He thought through kindness that he could heal the stone hearts of the mongoose, but now he knows he can't. Please Sybil forgive the young one, he just is trying to help. As for the wounds he has he'll be better by tomorrow. They look nasty from the outside, but some bandaging with some good long rest and they will be no more than a memory. The margay on the other hand is another case entirely. Your loyal and helpful winged friend will be fine. As he reaches her home, he bows politely after placing her gently on the ground. Just think about what I said alright, miss. He really just wants to help." Then he places Jaerl beside her before walking off a short distance and laying down with his brother.

Jaerl says nothing as he lays there beside Sybil, but tears fall down his face and splash onto the ground. He shakes with fear scared of the feline next to him.

Ooc: what about the mongooses Draco snapped at?

Chica looked at the young siberian tiger cub. she really has that kind heart

The mongoose scurry away in fear vanishing into the forest.

"fff. Missed" Draco growled. He looked ahead, and approached the group a little ways ahead. hopefully that will teach them

OOC: Hey people, I sent a PM to you about an idea I have. Hope you like it

Sybil was thinking about what everybody said to her, but she was still too angry to take on everyone's talk and kindness. Her only thought was if she could make every mongoose in the Island disappear, then she would have been happy. She quietly left Jaerl to rest (not even noticing he was crying), and after reaching a cryptic and hidden part of the forest, she took all her anger on a bush nearby. She was throwing quite a nasty tantrum, and was ripping the bush apart like a hyena would do to a baby antelope.

Chica watched her go, and Chica could also hear some bush being ripped apart
