I'm looking for the light }{ Ilyich and Kuna

[Kunabee]

Kunabee~

I watched Bhu, listening with eager interest. I believed her. I felt it fill my heart and soul, and I could feel this is true throughout my very self. It was uplifting! I had always believed, even known, there was a god up there in that sky. I had no clue he was mortal once, like us. I felt honored to be under his watch.
"That's amazing," I said when she was done. It was all I could say. I was filled with nothing less then Dio's Spirit. it pays to keep an open mind. Here I had found the truth. Here I had hope, and actual reason.
Today was a beautiful day indeed. No, not just beautiful. A miraculous day. I had found kind Falomi and another open-minded cat willing to help, along with a god. It was perfect. I turned to Mahal.
"I'd love to hear about Skoll," I said, enthused. I wanted to know about Dio's Brother, too.
Today was a day like no other. Today, yes, this today, was a wonderful and life-changing thing.

Mahal--

I watched her carefully, drawing in every word. How animated she had become after her initial hesitation! My tail wagged in time with her chorus of words, every candance creeping up and warming me. I had no idea what a baboon was, but if this Dio was one then I would find out. What a brilliant thing. My young mind clung to such spiritual endeavors, and curtailed I saw that Dio was very different from my own Skoll in ways but not at all altered in actions. God is essentially love, in every religion God will love you no matter what.

And Dio and Skoll were our hopes and dreams and loves. We needed them almost as badly as they needed us in their hopeful crusades into the world. My ocher eyes stayed locked on Bhuvana, awe falling into absolute seriousness. "I hope you do well, Bhuvana" My tail curved behind me, and for the first time in my life intention formed in my mind for a thing I never would have thought before. "If I can oust my sister from her spot as heir I will fight for you when I become Alpha, my friend" Closing my eyes for a second I smiled, I was young but I prided myself in being smarter then most children my age.

"Skoll is our martyr. The giant white man, the first of his gender to be born to the humans. He is the ghost of our inner rebellion. My mama says folami hold a deep terror of revolution. She says ma made us instinctively fearful of it so we would not try it." My eyes remained closed, though they wrinkled slightly around the edges from mild shame. Mama had told me this part, but she had refused to go on, dropping her head in revulsion. Id asked her what she didn't like and she said she was terrified of anyone with as much control as He.

Normal people just don't have that kind of resolve.

"Our human masters are cruel to us, its the only way to train a killer. Make them hate, twist them until they can do nothing else. But Skoll, they did not wish to train him, he was a test dummy. He was meant to see just how far they could push. How far they could drop him into hell before they had to bring him back for fear of his death. And he wouldn't hate them. My uncle Daiade says he is a fiery proud man. He said he met him in a dream once, and that he was shocked to find such a boisterous man holding the name Skoll." I tilted my head, opening one yellow-orange eye to watch the two cats.

Paragon was ignoring me utterly, her shoulders hunched. She hated this talk. Despised it with her entire being. I had no clue why, but the white woman hated talk of Skoll almost as much as she hated talk about Man. my eye closed again, trying to think. Trying to remember exactly what Id been told. "Uncle said Skoll had flames in his jaws, and that he called four to his throne of clouds so he may ask them to join a campaign." My eye lids fluttered. "I don't know if they have a cool name like you guys do, though Bhu" I almost purred, tail wagging. Daiade hadn't told me the outcome of the dream though.

"He wanted them to raise the flag in my kind's lands. We are stubborn animals, Skoll included, and it may take a wile yet but He is determined. This thing called peace that I myself have never known, being born into war, shall rule one day" I opened my eyes and looked to my companions. Paragon looked away with shame in her eyes. It was an odd inner shame, that had me turn away in fear. Why would she be ashamed by a story of Skoll? But no, it didn't matter right now. I locked gazes with Bhuvana, eyes luke warm and proud. "Skoll's followers are different in a way to some of Dio's, by range of our breed. I've heard one of my pack makes, the omega, pray to Dio but she never dose anything. Daiade prayed in front of me once, and he told Skoll he would act when the time was real and powerful."

I nodded my head hard. "Acting is the only real way to show faith."


ooc:// aw poor Mahal you don't know about Lucy yet xD

[Bhu ♥ Irwin]

My own eyes remained focused, yet dreamy, if that were possible, as Mahal told of his own god. In many ways, Skoll's story mirrored that of Dio's, as did His choice of actions. Every now and then I would sigh, expressing the feeling of contentment that was bursting at my seems. It wasn't until he had finished that I realized much time had passed. Pushing that thought to the back of my mind, I decided to tackle it momentarily.

"She whom merely utters Dio's name does not know how to believe. You are wise to say that action is the true way to express it. Believing is wonderful, displaying is far grander." Looking over my should, I shuffled my paws anxiously, turning back with a half hearted smile. "Mahal, you have enlightened me to a whole new world by telling me of Skoll, and for that I thank you. But I must be off, dear friends, for my group will be waking soon. I must admit that I have not been a worthy Peace Leader in recent days, but I must show them that that has changed. And I have you all to thank for that." Turning away, I started off, but stopped and glanced back at the trio. "I can make no promises, but perhaps we can all try and meet in this very place in one full turn of the moon" (a month)? "Your paw should be healed decently by then, dear Mahal."

Kunabee~
I smiled to myself. This may sound strange, but I feel like I felt Skoll's Spirit too. They were there, somewhere. I sighed happily.
"It's amazing," I said softly, joyfully. I wanted to praise these two gods' names, for coming in our great time of need. So I praised them in my heart. I would give their word, of peace. Peace. I had always known peace and love would be the way.
At Bhu's suggestion, I nodded so eagerly I thought my head would fall off.
"One full turn of the moon," I agreed, "That would be wonderful. I'll see you then, Mahal, and I hope you, too, Bhuvana." One full turn.
One full turn and I'd see these amazing people again.

I lifted my head to watch them, smiling with glee. "oh yes!" My tail beet with the rhythm of my heart. How good it was to find friends so far from home. Not only had I found friends, but what could prove to be life long companions. Bhuvana and Kunabee ad set my paw, and probably helped me avoid a lifelong limp. Well and Paragon, but she was off moping at the side lines and though I loved the odd woman as a best friend she could be a bit downing sometimes.

"A moons turn from now...Yes I will find you guys, I swear!" I didn't break promises. I wouldn't break this one. Never ever ever. Breaking promises was wrong, and almost as bad as telling lies. Paragon stood slowly, slipping over into our small circle as if unsure to include herself.

"Little boy, now that you have finished your chat it is time to go home" I flicked my ears back, ocher eyes going wide. Now how had I forgotten that I was lost? The white woman sighed, ears drooping. "Come I will lead you to your border, but no farther" I smiled cheerfully at her grudging kindness, before hobbling after her. Walking in this splint would be very weird for the next couple of weeks.

"Bye Bhu! Bye Kuna! I can't wait to talk with you again!"


ooc:// fail post is fail. Also would you like me to lock and move this now?
