His eyes were still glued to the tree when he said "no no. Why would i do that?"

Guadian nodded "well lets go." and headed off towards Sheloh's tree.

Quote: Felines

Warren was impressed, never having reached that conclusion. Stealing was definitely a way to survive, but it was a very unfair one.
"Droughts are the worst." Warren complain, speaking for everyone else, since he didn't have a problem feeding off dead animals in the outback.
"We better find whoever did it first. Madam Sholeh would most certainly want to kill whoever is responsible." he then said with a lot of worry, sill remembering with shame her last vengeful rampage and how he followed her without question.

"Don't worry... we won't let that happen. Whoever it is, we'll find a way to resolve the issue... without bloodshed.," Sayan said knowing that it wouldn't help anyone.

(I blame me playing Warcraft all this time ...)

Avius sighed as he was left behind, "It's Avius, not Anvius." The barn owl then decided to follow Sybil and the others, not wanting to be left alone, based on what he had heard.

When Sholeh was about to answer, Warren and Sayan arrived, with the vulture surprised that she was in the company of the crocodile, whom she feared a lot.
"Well, you took your precious time. Sybil wasn't at her tree, so you'll have to do." she said, referring to Sayan.

Sybil soon reached Sholeh's tree, not minding the barn owl following her. As they were just a few meters away, she took notice of Stripes. Was he spying? Whatever he was doing, Sybil could find out later. She gathered there with Guardian, seeing that there was quite a reunion there.
"Well how pretty, just when I was about to ask this leopard for help. Never mind! Look you two! Look what has been done to my tree. And the food that I sacrificed so much to gather... gone!" she said to Sybil and Sayan, getting furious yet again.

Ooc: i won't. I'll begin working on it tomarrow. I saw the new star wars movie and without spoialing it will say it is awsome with some freaky events happining.

Guardian got down from Sybil and went over to Crocux "Crocux what's going on?" when he didn't answer "crocux?" he then looked at the tree. He also got the expression that he saw a ghost. "that can't be," said Guardian "i know" said Crocux "but he's been" "i know" "but their's no mistaking it." "i know" "should we tell her?" asked Guardian. At this point the two were looking at eachother.

OOC: I may see it when it's on T.V. Never been that fan of Star Wars.

"I know, I know..., Sholeh said mockingly, growing very impatient.
"ENOUGH ALREADY! Tell me who did this!? Those who mess with the home and food of a mongoose mustn't go unpunished!" Sholeh said furiously, wanting her justice right now.

Guardian winced then said "well i have good news and i have bad news. The good news is that i know who did this. The bad news is that he's been dead for years. I don't know how but this is Terrance's work. He was a master theif and their's no doubt in my mind that this is his work. But it doesn't make any sense. He has been dead for years. I should know i saw him get stabbed in the heart by a human and i was the one that buried him when we recovered his body. I just don't get how a dead mongoose could have commited the crime."

Sholeh started to believe that the two of them were making fun of her, and grew even more furious.
"So you're accusing a zombie for this atrocious mess!? How stupid do you think I am!? If you ask me, you are just making a lame excuse to cover whoever did this!" she screamed, not believing a word Guardian said. Sybil would have interfered at her blinding rudeness, but was too busy processing what the cobra explained.

Guardian grew upset. She thought he was kidding. He just snapped "you think this is a joke? How dar you insult me and my family!" and with that with deadly accuracy he spat blinding venome at Sheloh's eyes(the blindness is inly temporary so it will ware off). Crocux was shocked at how his father reacted and was terrafied. He began to back up visably terrafied at what happened.

Sholeh grew furious, then terrified at the thought of becoming blind forever.
"You've done it again Sybil. Allowing these forsaken beasts to take refugee at my home. Now I have been denied the gift of seeing the world." Sholeh said, and would have been crying if he wasn't closing her eyes so tight. Even Warren, who was usually the most gentle soul of the Haven despite his loyalty to Sholeh, was angry.
"Shame on you Monsieur cobra! Her anger is excused this time and you attack her!" he scolded furiously, finding Guardian's reaction despicable.
"Come on Warren. Please carry me out of here. I'm not going to stay where I'm not wanted. We'll find the culprit alone." Sholeh begged, broken on the inside. Warren obeyed and carried her away with his talons, giving a disapproving glare to Guardian.

After the pair left, Sybil was almost as upset as Warren. Even she found that unfair.
"Now why the heck did you do that for!? I know Sholeh is an irritable jerk, but she didn't deserve that! We have tried so hard to befriend her ever since we let her stay here, but you just made her hate us forever! How would you cope with a destroyed home!? You and your son are abusing your powers! You Crocux, I still remember your threat! And you Guardian, using your venom like that to attack somebody! We don't solve things with violence darn it!" Sybil said, screaming with fury at such an unacceptable action.

Crocux was to afraid to say anything. Guardian on the other hand was still very angry. Speaking with a venomise tone he says "please the venom is only temporary. She'll be fine. Besides the scare will teach her some respect." he started to leave to look for the culprit. Crocux went around Guardian and next to Sybil, he was crying because he was so scard. Befor leaving the area he stopped and said "come on Crocux." but Crocux didn't move. "Come on Crocux!" he yelled wipping around to face him. Crocux cringed in fear but refused to move. Guardian yelled in rage and left not even ralizing he was heading strait for Jr's tree muttering loudly in rage.

"I THINK YOU'RE CONFUSING RESPECT WITH FEAR!" Sybil yelled to the retreating cobra, even considering banishing him for such a rash action. She then looked at Crocux, a bit startled and confused. It wasn't every day you saw a crocodile showing fear. At first, Sybil believed that Guardian was the benevolent one and Crocux the violent one, but at that moment, it was as if they had exchanged their personalities.

Crocux was scared and confused, he had never seen his father that angry before and not knowing what to do started to cry.

Sybil felt a bit embarrassed when she saw Crocux like that and didn't know what to say. She was more worried about Guardian however, and didn't know who else to turn to.
"Crocux, please keep an eye on your father. I don't want him to do something crazy." she said, wanting to find Sholeh, but with Warren flying her, she could be anywhere.
"Sayan, you go and stay with Rose... I... I still need to put up the signs." she said, remembering that because of Guardian, she left them at the shore and at risk of being washed away by the tide. She looked at the sky, and saw that it was already dark.

Avius had stood at the sidelines, watching the whole ordeal with wide eyes. "Hey Sybil, mind if I join you? I've been meaning to talk to you since I heard of you."

Sybil looked up and saw that the owl was still there, and his presence was very opportunist.
"Oh, hey, didn't know you were still there. After we're done talking, mind if I ask you the favor of tracking down Sholeh and Warren?" she asked, wanting everyone involved to participate in stopping the latest uproar.

"Who were they again?" Avius asked, still not knowing most of what and who was on the island.

"The mongoose and vulture that just left." Sybil explained, thinking it was obvious.
"Now look, if you need to tell me anything, you have to make it fast. I have an urgent matter!" she rushed, knowing that the tide became higher at night and the signs were at even more risk of being washed away.

Avius sighed, and his first thought was to fly back to his temporary home and try again tomorrow, but instead, he flew after Sybil, "Um, it's not quite like that ... I was hoping to have friendly talk with you. You are the local leader around here, right?"

Crocux stayed put however. "I.. I.. I've n-never s-seen dad t-this a-angry be-before." he was trembling even more so at saying this.

Sybil had a hard time keeping track of both Avius and Crocux talking, but decided to talk to the distressed Crocux first.
"Alright... then, do what you think is right." she said to the crocodile, knowing he wasn't in the mood for a task. She then addressed to Avius.
"Listen, I left some signs back at the beach. It's too late to keep putting them, but I need to get the ones I left before the waves take them away. After that, we can talk all you want." Sybil said, not wanting to risk putting the messages at night, where it could become more dangerous.

Avius gave a nod, "Guess I would have to work sometime. Okay, where do you want me to put them?"

Crocux nodded in understanding.

Jr was disturbed by a loud muttering sound "what the heck?" he said as he went to investigate and saw it was Guardian.(when he's angry he can really move) Jr went down to talk with him but made sure to stay out of reach. "hello their." Guardian looked at the source and blinked in surprize. It was a mongoose, but it was a spitting image of Terrence! "Terrence is that you!?" Jr was suprized, he hadn't introduced himself yet the cobra knew his name. "i'm sorry but have we met? Because i don't remember introducing myself yet you knew my name." Guardian was confused "sorry you just look exactly like a son i had once. I'm Guardian. Do you know anything about a robbery that had happened recently? The mongoose Sheloh is furiuse and we must find the culprit." Jr grew wide eyed. "that was a mongoose den!? Oh man i didn't know! If i knew i wouldn't have even touched it!" He went up the tree to gather his stolen loot. Guardian was suprized, he didn't expect the theif to have admitted to the crime so quickly, nor did he expect the theif to be trying to make things right. He sat their baffuled and the mongoose soon returned only to be heading back to Sheloh's tree with the loot in tow. Guardian soon fallowed wanting to ask the mongoose a million questions but right now he just wanted to see what the mongoose was doing.

Avius gave a nod, "Guess I would have to work sometime. Okay, where do you want me to put them?"

Sybil wasn't so sure if to put him at risk, but knew that in such a cold night, she could use the help. And owls had excellent night vision, so if anything went wrong, he could retreat flying. Heading to the beach, she showed him the thrown signs.
"Look, these are the signs that we are putting in order for every Haven resident to know that the water is off limits. Precautions you see. And I threw those ones in a little outburst of mine. We need to take them and put them somewhere safe so that they can be put along the shore tomorrow." she explained, though wondering if Avius slept during the daytime.

"Alright then, let's hurry up then." Avius replied, grabbing a couple with his talons.

Sybil grabbed the rest of the batch with her tail and teeth, being quite scared of the ocean at night in circumstances like that. She could feel the water at her paws, which meant that they got the signs just in time.

Jr reached Sheloh's tree and returned the stolen food to were they belonged. When Guardian arrived Jr was already working on fixing the fence. Guardian looked around for Crocux but he wasn't their. He figured that he just went back to the den when really he went after Sheloh to try to clean up his fathers mess.

Sayan, meanwhile, had returned to his den and his mate. "Hey Rose... Sorry to be gone so long.," he gently said approaching the tiger. He secretly hoped that the tiger's personally was still intact and that the vines would hold.

Sholeh and Warren had retreated to a path of thick foliage near the kea's tree, and the former was simply devastated.
"I knew I shouldn't have accepted that bratty tiger's offer to stay here. Not only has Sybil had robbed me of my home, but she has allowed whatever invasive species she pleases into it and allows it to treat me this way!" Sholeh complained, sniffling severely, unaware that Sybil actually defended her shortly after she and Warren left.
"I know I can't fight against that civet. I already tried, and too much suffering has occurred to me. Let's face it! I will never get my home back! I will always be hated. I should have stayed in the outback!" she then said, still rubbing her eyes and under the effects of the potion. Warren was quietly sobbing for her, feeling so sorry for the poor mongoose. He really wanted to be peaceful with Sybil and the Haven residents, but the way they were treating his beloved Sholeh was going too far.

"Will you lead the way?" Avius asked Sybil.

Crocux heard Sheloh crying and approched "Sheloh? you here?"

Guardian watched Jr work. He was very dedicated worker but it would take days at the rate he was going. It seemed that he was better at making a mess then he was at cleaning one up. Guardian hoped that Sheloh would forgive him for his actions.

"And if they do, I'll be right here.," Sayan said rubbing against the tiger. "You're safe now and I promise that you won't be alone.," he gently added.

Sayan gave a soft purr back and continued to rub against Rose.

"Will you lead the way?" Avius asked Sybil.

"Sure. Right this way." Sybil answered, heading to her tree. She was going to keep the signs there until tomorrow, and she hoped that the few of them that were put at the beach was enough to keep everybody at bay. As she and the barn owl walked, she suddenly remembered that Jack was still at Hunted island treating the injured serval, and that if he spent a longer time there, he would have to wait for the entire drought to get transport, since the orcas will probably soon start to lose it. She was happy that absolutely nothing happened today though. And Jet seemed his usual self when he greeted her and Sayan earlier, so tomorrow, she was going to summon him to check on the chimp, but wondered if that was a good idea...

Crocux heard Sheloh crying and approched "Sheloh? you here?"

Warren immediately went in front of Sholeh, ready to protect her if necessary.
"Came to mock at my misery? Or are you just looking for an easy meal?" Sholeh asked, knowing Crocux's voice well enough to recognize it. Her fear for him had vanished, feeling like life wasn't worth it anymore.

Crocux shook his head "nether. I'm here to apologize for my fathers actions. And to let you know that his venom is onlytemporary, it should wear off soon. If you like i can take you back to your tree, everyone has left it now."

Crocux nodded and said weakly "yea dad lost his temper lashed out at her. She'll be fine though, it's only temporary until then she cant see." Shi was woken up and fallowed Sozen. She heard what Guardian did and said "what!? But dad would never do something like that, i've seen him get angry before but he couldn't have been that angry. He's so gental it just couldn't have been him."

Sholeh was super relieved when she heard that the effect was temporary, but that wasn't enough to ease her distress.
"Yes Sozen. The snake attacked me just because I was angry. Angry because my home was vandalized, my fence destroyed, and the food... stolen! I'll starve to death! And yet, everyone continues hating me just because of what I am!" she snapped, being Sozen the only one besides Warren that she trusted enough to take out all her stress.

Shi felt bad for her "you poor thing. I miss judged you and for that i'm so sorry. I'll help clean up your home to make it up to you. Crocux you go help get her some food to restok her supply." Crocux nodded and went to work. "come on Sheloh lets go get your home fixed up.

Sholeh could feel like her eyes were getting better, but she still needed a ride.
"Guys, do whatever you want. I would need a ride to solve things. And without seeing, I will feel useless." she explained, still wanting to solve the case on her own.

Avius followed Sybil to her tree, carrying the rest of the signs.

At Sybil's tree, she and Avius proceeded to gather the signs at her cavity, but the problem was that they were too many of them, and now she could barely fit in it. She would have to stay somewhere else, that isn't Sayan's den due to Rose being there. She then decided that she would sleep near a palm tree to monitor the sea, but first, she had to talk to Acius.
"Alright Avius, thanks for the help. Now I can hear you all you want." she said, not being sleepy at all and knowing that the barn owl had something to tell her.

"I'll give you a ride Sholeh." Sozen said.

"Fine, but we'll search only until I can see." she said, quite happy that the effects of the venom weren't temporary, she really hated the cobra for such violent humiliation.
"I will search, but don't let me see that treacherous snake again!" she added, having been traumatized by the event.

Warren felt left off when Sholeh decided to ride Sozen instead, but then again, he has her most of the time, so all he did was follow without complains. Sozen was quite fond of Sholeh for what he could see, so he was glad that it was a bit of hope in Sholeh feel accepted.

In the Antartica, it was time for the orcas to sleep. However, even after Ellen's speech, Cairo still wanted to return to the Haven, not realizing that he would do more harm than good if he did. But he needed a replacement, and he wanted Ellen to be the temporary leader. But she would only try to convince him to stay, since he is the most ideal to lead the pod. He was quite restless. He wanted to be at the Haven, even if that would mean going through extreme hunger.
