Tribe of the Carik'shon
Tribe of the Gold Plains
You go to where she was pointing, down on the prairie, searching for the creatures she had named. Nothing happens, and you begin to think that you should start back. Suddenly there is a small horse-like creature standing right in front of you. His body is a dark yellow, and his mane, and lion's tail are a bright red. He glares at you, and begins to speak in a strange language, sounding almost like the one Jaycee had been using.
"Konta! Von kish parr? Et ahnn taw parr lay shoh lin kalac?" He stares up at you, and stomps an impatient hoof.
"Do you not speak Vahshian?" He gives you a look, and mutters to himself something you do not quite understand. He sighs, and explains to you.
"What I said in greeting is this. Stranger! Who are you? And what do you want with my tribe?" You nod, understanding now, and see another creature - Myon you now realize - come up next to the firey stallion.
"Lar 'lenca." The golden mare gives a half smile. "Yes, I know you do not speak Vahshian, I was just greeting you. Hello traveler." She nods at you, and introduces herself. "I am Shenta'se'daynan, or Bringer of Sunrise, and am the Lead Mare in this tribe. My mate -" She nudges the stallion's side, who smiles half way at her, softening a bit. "- is Tohn'desavi, Fire Spirit, Lead Stallion of the Carik'shon."
You smile and tell the mare your name. She nods.
"Come then, lenca, if you wish to meet the rest of the tribe." She leads you over to pair of Myon, playing together, and laughing. They become quiet as they see you, then the stallion whispers something to the mare, and they both start laughing. When they regain control over themselves, they come up to you smiling.
The stallion smiles, and bows playfully. "I am Lor'se'hohtaii, Jest of Summer, it is nice to meet you 'lenca." You smile at the stallion. The mare moves up next to him, and rears at you, laughing. "And I am Tay'se'tote'lach, Mist of the Sun! I am Lor's mate." She smiles, and the mates go off racing across the plains.
"They are a good pair, they enjoy being with each other very much." Shenta comes up beside you, and smiles. "Would you like to meet the last pair in our tribe?" You say yes, and she leads you over to a lone tree, whose branches are shaking, and words are heard from above.
A green stallion lounges on a branch, and smiles down at you. His mate, a gold and white mare, looks at you from her place at the foot of the tree. "Lar 'lenca!" The stallion calls down, and a few leaves fall, surround yourself and the mare. She laughs up at him, and he grins downward. "Sorry 'bout that!" He jumps down, landing neatly, and gives her an apple from the tree. He smiles, and turns back to you. "I am Leohn'se'dewon, Gift of Trees, and this is my lovely mate, Lach'kheh'haycha, Sun on Snow." The mare smiles, and moves up next to him, nudging his side. "I can speak too Leohn!" She laughs, and tells you a hello.
The Leads of the Tribe come up to you, Shenta with a saddened look, and Tohn silently. "Long ago, the Myon lived as one, in one Tribe, the Ethe'se'Eva, The Tribe of the Heart of Life." She lowers her head, and speaks softly. "Humans came then, ravaging our land, and killing us just for the sake of killing. The Myon lived in hiding for a long time, before we finally escaped that land. We roamed, searching for a new home. After a long, hard journey, we found Vah'se'kahra." The pair lift their heads, and stare into the clouds. Tohn finally speaks up. "That is why I was suspicious of you 'lenca. I am sorry. When we found Vah'se'kahra, Jaycee helped us rebuild. She has pledged to keep us safe from any humans or dangers that threaten us. I am again sorry." He nods his head, and runs off over the plains, leaving his mate there.
"Tohn's parents were among the first to be killed by the humans, and he has grown suspicious of a lot of things." She looks after him, then looks back to you.
"We have decided to foster out our foals. They go only to those that will care for them, and never to those who abuse." She stares at you, as if willing you to be good. "You may try for one if you wish." Shenta nods, and disappears after her mate.
Do you wish to adopt one?
