(IF YOU CANNOT POST, please PM Silvanon. She can help!)  A bright, jingling sound comes from the tall, swaying willow that belongs to Pega and her creatures. What with Pega still working on getting the new herds situated, and with no new events until the herds were ready, Juniper was getting a bit... ignored, to be frank. Ignored by all except Lettice'di'Mani.  Letti was the only other C'bana in the Valley of Morning Mists without a mate. Well, (Juniper supposed) her father was currently mateless as well, but he was usually content to spend his days boring the foals to death with his stories of "The War." Even Letti admitted(Albeit grudgingly) that her father wasn't much of a friend.... which is why she'd attatched herself to Juniper's stick today. Juniper was NOT amused. "The Scepter of Awesomeness is special, Letti! Pega made it for me." "But did she tell you WHY it was special?" Lettice'di asks, finally releasing the multi-colored, rattling stick(which resembled a lolipop so much that Chikhann had TWICe tried to eat it.) Juniper is stumped. "Well, er... no.... but she told me to watch all the cute couples, and shake it when they were especially cute!" She beems, obviously excited about this. Letti rolls her eyes at the mention of "cute couples." "There are no good stallions left in the Realm," Letti says bitterly. "At least if they are, they've been snatched up by silly desert mares." Juniper giggles, "But we're not on Pegorn aaanymore!" Letti's eyes brighten for a moment at this realization, and then she sighs in disbelief. "Like /that/ helps any." ((OOC: I figured I could help jumpstart things a little. Neither of these C'banae's characters are especially fleshed out, and ANYONE's stallions are welcome to attempt to woo them, however--- you cannot win this round if you roleplay with me. ;_; That'd be awkward. You can, however, win breedings from the Hern in the future. ^^)) |

 Zan'set sighed as the air blew at his face, messing his hair, he glanced around and for a moment threw his wings wide seeming to sprawl out in the sky. "Tes?" his voice was slightly panicked, as if he was missing something.  "She's back here!" came Tia'fana~Zant's voice along with a high chirping noise. A small snagonfly accompanied by a medium sized silver C'bana, Tia. Tia grinned at her brother as he watched Tes flit ahead of them and then dive downward, her wings fluttering hard as she did so. Zan glanced at his sister, "Why are you here?" Tia frowned very slightly, thinking as she and Zan flew onward, "I dunno...It sounded like fun?" she finally said, grinning once more. Zan sighed, "Fine." Tes was chirping softly as she zig-zagged back and fourth in her flying, she knew that Zan wouldn't go far without her so she was perfectly fine going off on her own adventure. As she flew she noticed up ahead two C'bana, one holding a brightly colored stick. Tes made another high pictured chirp, almost a squeal, as she flew as fast and she could, wrapping herself around the thing. Zan glanced down, "We probably ought to go find Tes, come on Tia." he said as he folded his wings, going into a tight dive which he knew his sister would follow and try to out show him in some manner. As he pulled up, back winging so he didn't hurt himself he caught sight of something shinning in the distance. "What is that?" Tia asked, tilting her head as she folded her wings and then she squealed, "More C'bana!" she leapt forward into a run and headed toward the others, Zan following a slight curiosity hitting him. |

((OOC: Fine then, I'll switch tenses---btw, any others are welcome to join. Neither Juniper nor Letti have decided that Zan is the man for them... yet. And besides... that's only ONE man. XD))
Juniper was cheerfully discussing with Letti how there really were some very charming stallions out there... at least, her mother had told her so... when Firefly went into hysterics. The orange, green, and yellow bullsai (who claimed the Scepter of Awesomeness as his official perch) only put up such a fuss when someone was touching the scepter. Knowing this, Juniper turned quickly. Some poor unfortunate Snagonfly had attatched itself to the scepter, and was now cowering away from the frightened, angry bird(bullsai). At first, Juniper didn't know what to do. Lettice'di seemed to be distracted, and Pega was nowhere in sight. (This whole scepter-watching business was new to the young mare.)
"Firefly!" She squeaked, and finally pulled the scepter quickly away. The little bulsai zipped right back over to it, now making angy, swallow-like dives towards the poor, shaking creature on it's perch. So she said it again.
"FIREFLY! You leave that thing alone!!"
Firefly stopped flapping his wings for a moment, and fell towards the ground, his small, beady eyes shinning with tears. Juniper had never seen Firefly cry, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to.
"Oh, Firefly..." she said, scooping the tiny bird into her paws as she plopped onto the ground. "I'm sorr--"
Just then, however, Juniper hears a female voice ring out through the clearing. Two silver-colored C'banae are rushing towards herself, her Scepter, and her two tiny friends. She shrieks a tiny bit and pulls all three in towards herself protectively, her orange eyes wide with fright.
Letti lets out an amused whinny and plops down in the grass. This would be amusing.

Tia squealed as she realised she wasn't going to be able to stop, her large ears flicking back determinedly as she attempted to even so. Zan's eyes widdened slightly as his sister attempted to slow, luckly he'd been going slightly slower so as he flung his wings open he was able to come to a stop just as his sister toppled over the blue spotted C'bana.
Tia imediately felt like a git, her flame like hair was squished slightly to her head for a moment before she shook it out and turned her head toward the C'bana she's hit. Bitting her lip she smiled sheepishly, "Sorry." she hadn't noticed was the other C'bana had pulled out of sight, "Tes! Zan, it's Tes...Silly trouble maker." she said the last part quietly, not really knowing if the snagonfly had caused any trouble or not.
Tes chirped loudly and unwinded herself from the scepter and flew as fast as she could to Zan's out stretched leg, wrapping herself around it she looked up. Zan smiled and then walked over to his sister and the other C'bana, "Sorry about that, Tes and Tia can be handfuls." he smiled hoping the other C'bana would take his appollogie.

Juniper let out a yelp as the other C'bana comes crashing into her and her beloved stick. Letti sits up at the entrance of the stallion, curiousity beckoning her to look--- and he was a fine, large stallion... that much was obvious.
Juniper pouted as Tes flew back to Tia. Firefly(the angry bulsai)now switched her threatening swoops at Tia, chirps filling the grove. Juniper crawled cautiously over to the Scepter, whose top had burst open, releasing torrents of jinglebells. She began to hyperventillate a bit. Of course, her horn could have easily re-sealed the damage to the top itself, but she still needed to find all the tiny---
"Sorry about that," Zan's masculine voice carried over, "Tes and Tia can be handfuls."
She hadn't even seen the stallion, and already she was trying to calm down. Her father always said that she should act her best if there were single stallions at the Orchard. Though, he did laugh right after that. She turned then, cradling the broken Scepter in her forepaws.
"I-it's alright," she said, grinning. "I can fix it... "
Lettice leapt to her feet ar once and started gathering the bells, insistant in her mind that Juniper would NOT cause a scene of this.

"Why are we here again?" Asked the bored voice of one deep blue C'bana stallion. "Oh come on, Clann, live a little! This is the fabled Orchard! The Paints speak of a hundred thousand adventures taking place here, with more new friends than you can shake a paw at!" This from a younger stallion with a wild purple mane streaked with orange. "Hundred thousand, eh?" The blue stallion, Clann'Rastilir, sounded decidedly un-impressed. "Hate to burst your bubble, Bir, but I think that was a long time ago. Right now this place is looking pretty quiet." Bir'yaii's ears twitched upwards at the faint sound of a yelp. 'I don't know about looking quiet, but it's not sounding quiet! I definitely heard something." He grinned in reply, and headed towards the noise. geocities.com/okidme/meadow/cbana.html |

Zan laughed, "That's good then, wouldn't want such a pretty...Erm..." he paused here looking at the scepter wondering in all reality what it was. "Special...Stick-thing....What is that for?" he asked.
Tia yelped, pulling her wings over herself and Tes, hiding behind them almost. After a few moments she let out a wine, "Someone get this insane bird away from me!"
Zan's attention swiftly shifted from the two mares to his sister. He helped gather a few of the remaining bells and then looked between the two mares, "Who's bullsai?" he asked with a slight laugh, grinning, for though none of the C'bana in Stormelle's realm had one of these strange birds they'd all heard of them.

The white and blue stallion wandered warily into the Orchard. Though his colours were decidedly Northern he was actually Desert and a follower of the One True God of the North. He had left the desert, to avoid the followers of the Old Gods and to spread the worship of his deity, to stamp out the heretics...ok maybe stamp out was a bit strong, he wasn't much of a warrior, more like a fanatical monk. Cast out by the others of the tribe and forced to travel the worlds. Neind'Nyalis gazed about, wondering if he would find any C'bana in this place. He hadn't seem very many on his journey so far, just the one encounter with one another of the Desert...but *that* heretic was a warrior, and Neind'Nyalis was lucky to avoid getting hurt. In his escape from the other C'bana he'd gotten lost and finally found himself here, wherever here was. Wait, did he hear voices in the distance...? www.myth-and-fantasy.com/mystichorse/adopt/forest/forest14.html((OOC: I'll be a little picky about mates with him, gotta be someone who can put up with his belief that everyone who doesn't worship the One True God to be heathen...though I'm sure love can conquer all, and if the right female comes along her beliefs are not important)) |

((OOC: Wow! This wasn't really what I expected... but, you know... whatev. It's cool XD))
Juniper didn't see any of the new arrivals as her attention was split at the moment between a very angry bulsai and a large C'bana stallion who was... making jokes? She was a bit flustered as she answered the stallion's first question.
"It's the Scepter of Awesomeness!"she said in despair as she began to assist Lettice'di'mani in collecting the jingle bells. They chimed cheerfully as they were re-gathered into the scepter's hollow shell, some catching in the ribbon wich decorated it's lolipopish edge.
"...And it's for... awesomeness! I'm supposed to help Pega in judging this...er... contest..." As she continues, she realizes that none of the visitors seem to know that Pega has created a second Valentine's day. "... by shaking it at people..." Awkward!"And now it's busted... Firefly! Will you LEAVE that poor C'bana alone?!"
The little yellow, green, and orange bulsai chirrups disappointedly as he flutters back to Juniper, where he tucks himself in shame among the multicolored strands of her hair.
"Good boy."
Lettice'di looks up from her bell-gathering to see that there is definately a sudden influx of stallions entering the Orchard. Curious. How did one go about greeting so many characters at once? Most of the C'bana entering were large, burly stallions... there was that one with the crazy hair... definately a decendant of Patches and Aubuk by the look of him, and then there was the smaller, shyer looking stallion. Iinteresting.
She felt she should have a sticker pasted to her flanks that said, "Hello, my name is Lettice'di'mani."
((SB, I thought it might be cool for Letti to... er... discuss things with him. I'm not sure she'll agree with his point of view, I just think it'll be... fun.))

((OOC: I have no idea if he'll find a mate or not, just brought him out since he should be fun to play with, results will be interesting either way))
Yes, they were indeed voices, the voices of other C'bana. How interesting. He moved closer to the others, eyeing them to see if anyone appeared to be of warrior ilk. But they seemed like a nice enough bunch and by the time he got close enough to hear about the Scepter of Awesomeness, he had regained much of his confidence.
"Greetings, believers of the One True God of the North!"
Yes, Neind really knew how to make an entrance...

"Ah...Dang...Sorry about that." Zan said as he scooped up a few more bells and puts them into the busted top. "But you can fix it, like you said, right?" he asked, smiling as Tia folded her wings back to her sides caustionly. "Thanks." Tia mumbled as Tes flew back over to Zan. Tia stood and glanced at the bullsai with a slight glare but cleared the expression fast as she looked up to see three new comers. Her ears pricked, her expression full of curiosity. "Oh!" she turned suddenly to Juniper. "We've not really introduced ourselves, have we? I'm Tia'fana~Zant, call me Tia." she smiled bouncing a bit. "And this is my big brother-" Zan cut her off here, "Zan'set. Zan is normally what I go by though. And who are you two..." he asked, tilting his head slightly toward Letti, now noticing the other C'bana approaching.  Kai'Walalui had settled herself below a tree, enjoying the thick shade provided, to take a cat nap. Her great wings folded to her pony sized body. Her eyes closed her mane messed by her flight she'd been about to slip into sleep when she heard someone call out, whatever they'd said not coming through till the end. '...Noth!' Kai blinked, her eyes narrowed in slight frustration. "Spoil my nap why don't cha." Stretching she yawned and shook her head, clearing her sleepyiness. Standing she moved as quietly as she could to the edge of the trees, peaking out hesitantly, there was deffinetly something going on here. |

The stallion with the wild hair threw himself cheerfully into the gathering, grinning like an idiot. Ha! And Clann didn't think there'd be anyone around. If _this_ is what it looked like when there was no one around, he'd love to see this Orchard when it was busy! This was more C'bana than he'd seen in a long time... And a Scepter of Awesomeness? Bir needed to get himself one of those!
"A hundred thousand adventures and C'bana to chat with ta' boot!" Bir shot back to the other stallion, who simply rolled his eyes and shrugged.
Ignoring his friend for the moment, Bir introduced himself, " Greetings one and all, I am Bir'yaii and it's a pleasure to meet you!" A fancy little bow was tacked onto the end for good measure.
"Clann'Rastilir, " the stripy blue stallion tossed his own introduction to the group at the first opportunity.

"Yeah, I can fix it," Juniper said as she held the shell of the Scepter's top together and traced her horn(which sparkled and glowed) along the ripped seams, sealing it just like a glorified hot glue gun.
Firefly chirruped gleefully as he re-alights upon the scepter, striking a bold pose at the top. Juniper laughs.
"There we go," she said, rattling it a bit and beeming at the magical sound it made. "Better than new."
When all the introductions have occured, Juniper's mouth pulls to one side of her face as she concentrates on memorizing them. Shortly thereafter, it splits in a grin, "I'm Juniper! Nice to meet you."
Letti tilts her head at the new C'bana. Well, DUH, they were followers of the One God... but usually, one spared those thoughts for Sundays and private time alone. And this "North" part made it pretty obvious that he was one of the Deset-'bana whose mind was still a little... backward. Oh well. There was really no harm in him. He was just a little... off-color. Eheheh. Oops, she wondered, /did I say that out loud?/
After assessing that no one was offended by her random chuckling, Letti bows. She wasn't entirely sure why, but this was one part of her father that had definately rubbed off on her.
"Greetings all," she says, smiling politely, "I am Lettice'di'Mani."
Letti then prepares herself for an onslaught of questioning... for it was her own return to the safe valleys of the North that was the supposed fullfillment of a long-lost prophecy. And, indeed, since her return, the C'bana, like the Children of Israel, had begun to settle for peace in all corners of Pegorn. But she did not always find it agreeable to be famous... not at all.

((OOC: BTW, If you find a cute mate through this post that is NOT Juniper or Letti, feel free to enter the breeding draw. ^^ I've extended this until Oct 19 for now... and I just may wait until Halloween, seeing as my RL is getting a bit more exciting.))

(*pokes everyone else*)
"Wow, this is a gathering!" Tia exclaimed almost bouncing up and down as she did so. "What's everyone here for?" she asked, not entirely sure. She and her brother where simply here to have some fun. "You're Lettice'di'Mani?" Tia asked, her large ears perking forward curiously.
Zan's ears went back slightly at his sister's question, "Tia, don't be rude. No need to explain anything." he smiled at Letti, for her was sure such questions, even innocently asked as was his sister's case, could be a source of much unwanted thought.
(>.<' So umm....Not a fabulous reply but it works...Right?)
