Shi was near by having left the cave with Sozen. she flew over next to Sozen and said "isn't it beautiful Sozen?" referring to light beach

"Of course.," Sayan said with a smile. He cuddled up to his mate.

Sybil was aware that she was missing Light Beach, but she was so incredibly tired that she was afraid she would stay asleep there and the rising tide would wash her away. Light Beach lasted for a couple of weeks, so she could see it any other night after that.

Cole returned and found everybody sleeping, evidently exhausted as well for putting out the fires and helping with the planting. He proceeded to the same.

after a long while Guardian reaches the tree and slithers up next to Sybil. he falls asleep happy to be home.

Ooc: I'll continue using Tupic, the kangaroo which I'll have to find, idk. And I might make a sloth

ooc:Tup last I checked was living in a cave not far from Sybil's tree. you've been so inactive no matter wich character you use will be very out of the loop.

Ooc: yea I know it's just that I've had so little time for darkspyro because of school, but this summer I should be able to put a lot of time into this RP.

ooc: I understand. I jut graduated from highschool yesterday.

OOC: I also graduate

Cairo looked at Light Beach, surprised that it was one of the few things that the drought hasn't affected. That's how miraculous it was. He noticed Sayan and Rose and was glad for the company. He was quite surprised and amused that Rose still wanted to be there even after the brutal beating he gave her that afternoon. The same thing couldn't be said about Sybil though, who had reached her limit.

ooc: Shi was talking to Sozen.

Shilise felt so happy with Sozen. with the war over, Shadow gone, and light beach giving off a beautiful view, it all was almost perfect.

It was a pleasant night that one now that Shadow was no more. However, somebody received a near fatal blow that nobody noticed... except one. Sholeh had lost everything with the cannonballs, her tree, her food supplies and almost her life. Her tree caught fire, and even though the keas put it out, it wasn't enough. They left thinking that they had saved her home, but after a few minutes, it turned out that the tree was left too weak, and fell shortly afterwards. It was a good thing she got off when the fire started, but nevertheless, it would have done nothing. She had cried all that afternoon, and her eyes looked like she was punched in the face. Warren welcomed her into his home, but that wasn't enough to cheer her up. She believed that sooner or later, she was going to starve to death, and due to the forest's destruction, the lizards were harder to find due to them moving away. She tried to sleep, but it was impossible...

by some merical Terrence's tree was left completely undamaged. but he worried about his friend Sholeh but thought it was best to wait tell morning. he had a small store of lizerds and would take one to her in the morning.

ooc: shall we time skip to the next day?

It was a night without interruptions, and Sybil slept peacefully. The same thing couldn't be said about Sholeh, who didn't sleep a wink.

After the first rays of the sun rises, Sybil woke up, still sleepy but determined to tackle the day. She was very sad for the orcas leaving, but knew it was for the best. She headed to the beach, where the four orcas were preparing to leave, hunting for what little breakfast they could find. It was so hard to leave, particularly for Cairo, who loved his home so much.

Sybil arrived and saw the two of them, but she head to the water without disturbing them. Cairo was already there, having stayed very near the shore to watch over the pair.
"Hey, good morning miss Sybil." he said kindly, always welcoming her presence.
"Hey. Good morning." she greeted back, though with a tone of sadness knowing he will leave soon along with the others.
"Aw come on. I don't want to leave with a sad face being the last thing I see. Come on. You know this isn't forever." Cairo expressed, which was enough for Sybil to smile for him.
"There you see? That's better. I wish we could play for a while, but I need to save my energies for the journey." he assured, with Sybil knowing he would have grabbed her by now if it wasn't for that detail.
"I look forward to your return. After this infernal drought is over, I will make sure we are all full of energy so that you can all play to your heart's content." Sybil said contently, speaking for everybody at the Haven. She knew that the war was just the beginning, and that the drought was still far from over, but like Cairo, she believed they could make it.

Sayan gently awoke with the nuzzle. "Hey there... morning...," he said awaking from his slumber.

Shi woke up having fell asleep where she was last night with Sozen at her side. she smiled seeing her sleeping Sozen and snuggled up to him. Jack was already out their working on Crocux.

"Hey look." Cairo said, pointing behind Sybil.
"Hey you two. Good morning." Sybil greeted Sayan and Rose, with Cairo waiting for the pair to approach him. He didn't show it, but he was so full of sorrow for leaving the Haven residents to their luck, even though he knew it was for the best.

Sholeh woke up, as miserable as ever. She didn't sleep, she couldn't eat. She was convinced she wasn't going to survive the drought, so making sure she didn't wake up Warren, she headed to the last place one would expect from her; the beach...

Terrence woke up and grabbed a lizard. he climbed down his tree and started heading for Sholeh's place. little did he know that since he enjoyed taking the scenic route he would run into Sholeh as she was half way their.

Sholeh was so distracted that he almost crashed with him. Even after all that time of kindness, Terrence's presence was not welcome.
"You again!? Why can't you just leave me alone!? Life on this Haven is miserable as it is, so don't try to make it better, cause it won't work." she said bitterly. One could see that she indeed was being miserable with her messy fur and swollen eyes. She then walked to his side and continue heading to the beach, without caring about anything or anyone.

Terrence dropped the lizard and stopped Sholeh. he grabbed her shoulders and said "Sholeh, what happened? why are you so upset?"

"Morning Sybil, Cairo.," Sayan said soon approaching the two. He gave a faint smile, knowing that Cairo would soon be leaving.

"Hey Sayan, my pal. I saw you take quite a beating yesterday." Cairo said, almost as if he was mocking him.
"But you're fine now. That's strength. Sorry I can't honor you a game with me, but, we need all the energy we can save." he then explained solemnly, knowing Sayan would understand. It was no secret to Sybil that Sayan was Cairo's favorite target.

Terrence dropped the lizard and stopped Sholeh. he grabbed her shoulders and said "Sholeh, what happened? why are you so upset?"

"Why am I upset he asks?" Sholeh said very bitterly, now more miserable than ever.
"If you really cared about me, you would have known by now!" she yelled to Terrence, now upset with him.
"Go to my home and see for yourself!" she then said, shrugging off his paw from her shoulder and continuing once again to the beach.

Terrence was confused. he didn't know about what happened to her home but when she put it like that he knew. "Sholeh wait!" he got in front of her "I had no idea. no one told me anything. I've been hauled up in my tree the whole time and I was going to check on you today." Sholeh gave him hope for a better future now it was his turn to do the same for her. "If you want you can stay at my place. it's quiet, out of the way, it has more then enough room and even if it isn't much I do have some food stored their and I would be more then happy to share with you. what do you say?"

Sholeh got even more angry when Terrence didn't understand.
"Don't you see? You have supplies for just one! I can't live with you! You will then annoy me and remind you that I owe you!" Sholeh said furiously as she still headed to the beach, believing that Terrence was only helping her in order for her to return the favor eventually. Se was a firm believer that nobody in the world ever do something for free.

"Morning Cairo." Rose said.

"Hey Rose!" Cairo said with the biggest smile, moving excitedly as if he was a youth. Rosie's presence was also very welcoming to him.

Terrence got angry and didn't let her pass "you're wrong! I would never ask you for anything I return! you're my friend and friends help each other! If I wanted to make you think you owed me then I would've expected something in return for the lizards, I would've expected you to be my friend when I stopped that Wolverine from killing you! but I didn't and you want to know why? It's because you're my friend, friends are their for you through thick and thin. besides I got enough food to last for two if we ration it. and if I don't then you can have my share because I care about your well being. because I'm your friend."

Sholeh remained silent for a while, but her neutral expression didn't change. After a while, she finally spoke.
"Look. I understand why you don't know the way of the mongoose having been raised by that circus you call family. But let me give you a preview; mongooses only take care of themselves. If somebody wants to help us, it's their problem. We only help others in order to have something in return. Now you, you may think you are doing this from the heart, but you're a mongoose like me. Whether you want to admit it or not, you will want something in return sooner or later. That's the way the world works darling." Sholeh said with malice, refusing to believe anyone would want to help somebody without something in exchange, especially help someone like her.

Terrence only got angrier "You forgot one thing Sholeh! I live my whole life an orphan. I didn't know that circus of a family even existed until I got here! So sorry for not knowing how your kind of mongoose works but if you hadn't noticed I'm NOT LIKE THAT! If I want something in return then sure what I want in return is the piece of mind to know that my friend is alright! Sholeh the thief, Sholeh the killer, that's what everyone else sees but you know what I see? I see Sholeh my friend, the same one who gave me hope. hope that things will get better, hope for a better future. Hope that their's more to life then just giving to take and taking to give, more then just living merserable all the time because it seems that we're all alone against the world when we don't have to be. That's the Sholeh I see. that's the Sholeh I want to help out because she's my friend! That's all I would want is to do just that!"

Sholeh was breathing hard, as if she was trying to contain himself the need to scream, but talked to Terrence kindly.
"Now listen to me; that thing about me giving YOU hope, that's just something you just invented in your little mind. I don't give hope to anybody. I just make things worse everyone. Or haven't you heard? I tried to have that darn Sybil killed, many, many times long before you even got here. I only gave up because she has such a large bunch of followers. And those who I thought were on my side ended up betraying me. Jet was on her side the entire time I thought he cared about me, and now Shadow destroyed MY home with those stupid fire balls! So good or bad, no matter what I try to be, suffering always comes to me. So STOP INSISTING!" Sholeh lectured, with fury at that last sentence. Unknown to even herself, she had tried very hard to redeem herself for the last months, but it always seemed that no matter what she did, whether it was good or bad, life was always cruel to her.

Jhen looks toward Jet and shrugs.

"I wouldn't know, I have always looked like this. Perhaps another member of the pod may know more. I always remember me having this mask over my face. Hi, Sybil, he says smiling as he nuzzles her with his head. Hello Rose and Sayan," Jhen says smiling as he sees them.

Terrence flatly says "welcome to my world. that's how things were at every place I went to. I can see why everyone betrays you. it's because you don't have a heart to begin with. when everything goes to hell and your friends try to help you, you take their kindness and **** all over it. out of everything that happened even when you lose something you just take it for granted and don't even care. I thought you were my friend. turns out you're nothing but a self centered, leeching, good for nothing, low life b****. I thought I finally found someone I could trust, guess I was wrong." disappointment and malice evident in his voice. he lets go of her, picks up the lizard he dropped and leaves before Sholeh could say another word.

Sholeh remained silent as he left. Initially, it would have seem like she was hurt at his words, but then she simply shove it off.
"Well finally he leaves me alone!" she said bitterly, proceeding to the beach.
"Yeah yeah! Nice telling him Sholeh! Wow, that was the most fun fight I have ever seen!" a voice from nearby said. It was Yodel, who spied on their conversation and had the time of his life.
"YODEL! YOU WASTE OF FEATHERS! GET LOST!" Sholeh yelled, throwing pebbles and mud at the warbler, who left chuckling. It seemed that seeing someone even more miserable than him filled him with joy.

Jhen looks toward Jet and shrugs.

"I wouldn't know, I have always looked like this. Perhaps another member of the pod may know more. I always remember me having this mask over my face. Hi, Sybil, he says smiling as he nuzzles her with his head. Hello Rose and Sayan," Jhen says smiling as he sees them.

"Hey Jhen! It's great to see you on high spirit!" Sybil said ecstatically, hugging his snout without any fear. Cairo let her, though he was keeping a close eye on Jhen just in case. He dissimulated it very well of course.

as Terrence headed back to his tree he found an egg on the ground. little did he know it was the same egg as before. the parents were killed by the cannon fire and it was the only egg to have servived from it's nest. he touched it and found it to be cold. this time their were remains of it's nest so he gathered up what he could salvage and the egg and took it up in his tree. once in his tree he put the remains of it's nest on the same spot as last time then gently set the egg down in it. He was suprized to not find it damaged. he curled up around it to keep it worm and whispered "don't worry little one. I got yea."

When Terrence entered his tree, somebody has been following him. It was Yodel, who seemed to be trying to find some more amusement.
"Yo mongoose Terrence! We're you unable to tame the shrew?" Yodel yelled, practically mocking him.

Sholeh arrived at the beach, and was more than surprised to see Cairo was there. She thought only Jet and two more were there. She tried to ignore the hatred she still felt for Sybil, Sayan and Rose, who were still there.
"So now, I heard Shadow has been killed at last. You certainly took your precious time!" she said with sarcasm, still not over her home getting destroyed. Cairo's good mood got ruined immediately. She was the last animal he expected to see.

Terrence glared at Yoldol and said "get lost before I decide to hunt you down myself and decorate my home with your feathers." his voice heavy with malice and anger.

Yodel was taken by surprise at his remark, not seeing Terrence as the violent type.
"Oh oh, look who got some secret fangs. Perhaps Sholeh was right. Mongooses are selfish and evil." Yodel replied, wanting to make him feel bad about himself. Not wanting to press his luck, he did leave, but not before giving off another remark.
"I pity the poor life you're caring for." he added as he flew away, hoping his words left guilt on Terrence for threatening. Yodel doesn't like to be threatened at his own home, even though he is aware that he's always asking for it.

Terrence was in a bad mood and didn't care about what Yoldol said and chose to ignore him.

At Warren's tree, the vulture woke up, and wasn't surprised to see Sholeh gone. He went to search her at her former tree, believing that she was still grieving, but when he didn't find her there, he went to the other place he believed she could be.

"Um... Monsieur Terrence? Is Madam Sholeh around there? Have you seen her?" he asked, blissfully ignorant on how tense things were.

"So now, I heard Shadow has been killed at last. You certainly took your precious time!" she said with sarcasm, still not over her home getting destroyed. Cairo's good mood got ruined immediately. She was the last animal he expected to see.

"Sholeh!? What are you doing here?" Sybil asked, more surprised than upset.
"That doesn't concern you." Sholeh answered, in her classic tone, evidently still feeling disdain towards the civet. She then approached the water, Cairo and all, and got to the point.
"Where is that clod Jet!? I need to talk to him." she asked rudely to the big orca, with Cairo looking at Sybil with his eyes frowning. Sybil simply moved her head in negation, imagining that Cairo wanted to attack her for her rudeness.

Terrence liked Warren and "last I checked she was heading for the beach. Warren you're a good person, you would be better off without Sholeh holding you down."

Warren then realized that for Terrence to say that, something must have happened. Terrence was initially fond of Sholeh, and now it sounded like he didn't.
"She said something to you, didn't she?" Warren said with sorrow, knowing Sholeh too well.
"Please forgive her Monsieur Terrence. I know Sholeh can be very offensive and quite a bully, but she is not bad. She is just... lost." Warren said, practically begging Terrence to have patience with her. Warren has received some very cruel treatment from Sholeh in the past, and he still do sometimes, but even with all that, he still had faith in her.

Jhen smiles at Sybil and nods.

"I feel much better knowing that I will not hurt anyone else. That I am going away until the drought ends. Once I return though, you and I are going to have some fun."

Sybil was looking forward to it. She gave Jhen a kiss on the snout to higher his self-esteem even more, though as soon as she did, she resumed her focus on Cairo and Sholeh. She glared at the enormous orca to make sure he didn't do a surprise attack on her.

"I'll find Jet for you... Sholeh..." Cairo said with a forced smile, knowing that Sholeh was a somewhat accepted member of the Haven and that neither Sybil or Rose would agree on having her killed. He would have done so without a second thought like he did with Shadow, but knowing that wasn't an option, he swam away to look for Jet...
