Misty turned and walked closely behind Santiago, chewing on her bottom lip as she went. What he had said had surprised her for some reason, she had thought him to be very self contained and wouldn't admit to any short comings.
Sighing she knew she should say something in reply, she just wasn't sure if he wanted to hear sympathy. oh well, I'm sure he will say something, he doesn't like to hold things back when he feels the need to speak
"I'm sorry to hear that you lost someone you loved, we all seem to have something in our past that has saddened us, and evey now and again what we do, brings back bad memories."
Not knowing what else to say, Misty turned and encouraged Dunston to move along faster, they needed to move down the path carefully from the clifftop, and as the maze was the only way they could go, another journey was facing them.

Santiago raised an eyebrow as he continued to walk, his mane slightly moving around with each step. Oh, if only you knew what kind of skeletons I have lurking about, He thought to himself as he walked.
"Anybody else having trouble seeing more than five feet in front of their faces, or is my eyesight going?" Santiago asked as he looked around, his green eyes taking in as much of the surroundings as possible.
The draft in the area picked up a bit and caused Santiago's mane to blow around before some of it got blown right in front of his face. He sighed as he used a forepaw to reset his mane.

((OOC: could I just point out that they are not walking in a tunnel, but the tunnel in fact ended on that cliff from which a path leads down to the labyrinth? Mentioned it in the post where Tef saw the maze. =3))
Tefnut walked slowly, all her senses alert for the tiniest bit of sound or scent that would make her ready to protect her group. She hadn't felt this protective of other creatures since she had been a small cub - it had allways been about protecting herself instead.
The liopardess noticed how the walls of the labyrinth slowly begun to rise on each side of the path she was leading the group. Soon enough all she could see when looking right or left were two walls of plants, rising higher than she could pounce. There was no way of knowing which direction was which...
Tef glanced over her shoulder, making sure the group was following when she suddenly felt a breeze brush her fur. It was chilly somehow, even un-natural. Shivering slightly, she turned her head forward, only to let out a slight gasp. Something had flashed there, as if it had been a feline of some sorts.... But when she looked again she saw nothing, only the two walls of the labyrinth.
'I imagined it', she told herself.
'I imagined it, there's no way I saw something...'
She shivered again, but forced herself to calm down as she continued walking.

Dunston acknowledged Misty and began picking up his pace. He could feel the cold breeze ruffle his mane and he knew they wouldn't fare well in this labyrinth at night. The tiny pattering of a mouse running by made Dunston jump. I'm too jumpy! he thought, I need to calm down and focus. Maybe then I'll be some use to this group...
Suddenly, Dunston felt Tefnut tense up and he tried to figure out what she was looking at, but all he could see was the two walls of the labyrinth. He padded over to her.
"Tefnut, did you see something up there?" he asked flicking his tail ahead. If there was an uninvited guest with them, he would need to think of a stratagy for the cramped space. His leg wound pained him again, but he tried to cover it up so he wouldn't look weak to Tefnut.

Misty was glad when they had all travelled down the path on the cliff face, no one had slipped or got hurt at all, now this maze was beakoning them inside.
Watching as the others followed Tefnut in through the walls, misty put her misgivings aside and walked in behind Santiago. Looking around her, the walls were made of stone, with an assortment of various plants embedded on the stone, or had growen out through cracks, partially covering everything, like a carpet with shades of green.
Looking above her, Misty could see the sky hovering over head, but the walls seemed somehow to almost grow when you stared at them, in one way they were their prison. They couldn't go back, couldn't go up, the only way was forward.
Letting a sigh escape throught her lips, Misty felt herself look back over her shoulder quickly, feeling as though something was watching them. Shaking her head slightly, she thought it must be her imagination again.
Breathing in she gave her self a talking too. get a grip girl, stop letting ghosts of past ones get to you, you've been through alot since coming into this jungle looking for the hunting party, you've come close to getting killed a few times, but it hasn't happened, and its not going to happen, and that's that... Be aware and be alert
A small smirk rose to her mouth when she saw the lions mane blow around, and even bigger when she watched him attempt to try and settle it back into place.. next he'll be asking if he looks ok, ooh I'm bad with my thoughts when it comes to him
Moving her paws a little faster Misty closed the gap further between her and Santiago, she would have loved to have seen how Liam and Dunston were getting along, but her place was here at the back, maybe when they stopped for a rest, she'd check on her new friends.

As Liam walked with the group, he had felt as if he needed to keep an eye on everyone. He could not bear to lose anyone else important to him...not after Abeni.
Abeni, Misty, and Tef have saved his life when he first came into this jungle, and he felt as if the group was like a family to him, something he had never felt until he met them. Dunston and Koji were like brothers to him. He was not sure about Santiago, yet something felt familiar.
As he looked at Dunston head closer to Tef, he had an urge to go over aswell, but he didn't wish to leave Koji alone. His mind raced about their missing comrads. Keplar was no where to by found, and Uru and Bagymo seemed to have dissapeared.
He would stay strong...he had to...For Misty...for Tef...for the entire group.

Santiago looked around at the walls as he made his way through the labyrinth, paying special attention to the amount of plant fauna in the area as the wind blew his mane around once more, causing him to mutter a swear word under his breath before stopping and resetting it again.
This isn't funny! Santiago thought as he looked up at the sky, not really noticing the height of the walls. He was irked by the fact that his mane was so light that it seemed any movement just more forceful than breathing blew it around. That was a trait that he had inherited from his father and had sworn was more of a curse than a blessing. It meant that every time a breeze could be felt, his mane was moving and with every wind gust he had to reset it all together.
"Do I look like an idiot yet?" Santiago asked to nobody in particular as he finished fixing his mane before laughing and continuing on his way. He hadn't really been picky about how his mane looked, all he really did was brush the loose strands out of his face.

Santiago's words carried behind to Misty, making her laugh out loud. She paused for a moment realising how good it indeed felt, she couldn't remember the last time her mind had emptied from worries and just gave into the moment.
" well... lets just say it's not the first time and doubt it will be the last...., but from back here, your mane looks impressive, very impressive indeed."
Misty's laughed subsided into a small giggle, and she padded along after him. Looking up above her, she thought that the walls seemed to get higher in places, almost as if the were moving, shakign her head to clear such silly thoughts, her eyes were briefly closed, when Misty felt something damp and small, run across her front paws.
Jumping back startled, Misty had pushed herself up against the wall, when she felt something run down her back from off the rocks. Letting a small squeal escape her muzzle, she swung around shaking herself vigorously to unearth what ever is was crawling on her.
Looking down at her feet she couldn't see anything, glancing back up at the wall, all she could see was a circle of plants swaying to and fro. I'm not imagining things, there was something on me, what is it thats down in this maze with us
Seeing Santiago barely in her view, Misty dug in her claws and took off running. Not slowing down she turned and looked over her shoulder to see that nothing was following, when she hit something hard but warm.
Realising in a split second what she had done, she felt her face start to heat up, with an apology ready, her mind registered the fact that Santiago's mane was indeed so soft and fine and needed no encouragement to fly around.

"Well, uh, thanks," Santiago said as he raised an eyebrow and looked at Misty before letting it lower again. He wasn't exactly sure how to take the response as he looked around before hearing a squeal.
"Misty?" Santiago asked as he saw her charging right at him. He knew by the time he saw her it was too late and he would be unable to get out of the way. He did his best, but ended up rolling as she plowed into him.
"Whoa! You okay?" The lion asked as he fixed his mane, revealing a small cut that was bleeding from where a claw nicked his face. Other than that he had no other injuries ad was just a bit dirty.

Koji continued walking along, his paws softly scuffing on the ground beneath him. Looking sideways at the cub, who seemed to be his new friend, the lion gave a little sigh.
look at him, he's a cub but so much more braver than me, I'm with all of them yet still feel alone. I don't know how I even came to be amongst them, one minute I was sleeping, then next a huge black cloud picked me up, and then I was falling on the ground, and there they were.
Staring back to the front, he saw Dunston speed up a bit to talk to Tefnut, he wondered if anyone of them knew where they were going.
" Umm Liam, do you know where we are heading, I mean do you think Tef does and we wont be in any more danger, like...this is a safe route ?"

" Ooohh I'm sorry, are you alright... geez of course you are ok, you are standing up again...wait, oh no.. now I've gone and made you bleed, and your mane is all messed up...."
Trailing off Misty realised she was sounding like a complete idiot rambling away. Taking a deep breath, she counted to three, then looked up at the red maned lion again.
"Let me start again. Are you ok ?"
Misty's eyes left his face and watched some plants start to move in a circular motion, which sent shivers running down her spine, there was just something downright spookey about it. Lowering her lashes a little, she looked at Santiago once more.
" There was just something back there I felt uneasy about, I don't usually act like this, so maybe, lets just carry on and I'll try not to make you roll like a ball again....Deal?"

Dunston heard the commotion behind him and saw Misty talking to the red maned lion. Santiago didn't have the best start in the group, but he seemed alright and certainly had a fine mane.
Guess I missed whatever happened... he thought and was about to turn his attention to Tefnut again when he thought he spotted some vines moving. He took a closer look and it looked as if the wall were turning into a writhing block of snakes. They stopped suddenly, but Dunton could feel the fear rolling off of him in waves. He tried to control his fear, but he was becoming overwhelmed by it. We're trapped like rats! he thought in dispair. He hoped Misty had seen something to and he padded back to her.
He hoped he wasn't intruding on Misty and Santiago's conversation, but he had to know if he was becoming paranoid. "Misty, did you see the vines moving at all?" he then noticed Santiagos cut. "and what happened to you?"

Post by Dakota on Jul 21, 2008 3:14:12 GMT
Looking past Santiago, Misty was glad to see Dunston, approach them. She was getting quite fond of this lion, after all he was the one who hadn't left her for dead lying in the bottom of that pit.
"Dunston, would you like to walk back here with me for a while, and maybe Santiago would like to be in the middle with Koji and Liam, plus closer to Tef"
Trying to stall conversation about anything moving with Dunston, she didn't want any of the others hearing things, as she also didn't need anyone panicking, just yet.
"Umm, the cut is my fault, I'm sorry to say. I wasn't looking where I was going and I guessed tripped over something on the floor, and well.... ended up using him as a pillow, nice and soft he was too"

"I'm sure he was!" he mused casting a glance to Santiago. "And I wouldn't mind walking in the back for a while." He fell in step with the lioness, hoping she would answer his origional question, one of the reasons he had come to the back of the group. He had to admit, he felt very reassured being with Misty, because he was a little scared of Tefnut to be honest.
He realized that he knew very little about the lions surrounding him, where they came from, their motives or how they came to this cursed jungle. He felt a small jolt of fear, for he had been betrayed before and he wasn't about to let it happen again. I'm just being paranoid, he tried to calm himself. Just get to know them and everything will be fine.
He looked back to Misty realizing he had been lost in thought the whole time. "So how did you guys run into Tefnut?" he asked, hoping he hadn't missed anything Misty may have said.

((OOC: lol, WOW, I was away for a few days and you guys begin posting like crazy! XD Not that I mind, though.... ;P))
Tefnut shook her head at Dunston's question.
"No..." she said. "It was nothing."
She glanced over her shoulder, checking everyone. She stopped walking for a moment, a slightly amused smirk on her lips as she saw the events taking place. Misteeca getting spooked of plants, her running into Santiago... Chuckling slightly the liopardess turned to look forward, glad that there still was something amusing in this haunted place.
And it was then when she saw it again, and this time she was sure she didn't imagine it. Tef froze, her eyes and mouth wide open in surprise. There was a feline standing right in front of them at the path.
It wasn't a lion, Tef saw that right away, but instead it looked more like a... leopard? Tef didn't dare to take a step closer, for tere were two things that made her stay right were she was.
First, the creature's eyes were glowing. Second, it was slightly transparent.
'She looks familiar...' she thought, not sure why she knew this... thing was or had been a female.
'Wait...!'
Tef's eyes widened.
'It can't be...?'
"Mother..." she whispered faintly, her quiet voice sounding increddibly loud in the dark labyrinth.
The ghost - it surely WAS one - smiled suddenly and disappeared, leaving Tefnut stand right where she was, staring at where the ghost had been.

"Interesting choice of words ya got there," Santiago commented with a laugh as he used his paw to wipe the blood off of his face before ruffling the fur and revealing a few other scars from previous battles. "It's not exactly my first injury."
The lion looked around as the bushes began to circle around the group, a low growl being emitted from his throat. "Misty? I haven't seen any plants like these before, what about you?" He asked as he heard her comment about him being soft.
"Well, uh, thanks," He said with an embarrassed chuckle as he scratched the back of his head and blushed a bit.

Post by Dakota on Jul 22, 2008 6:27:55 GMT
Misty watched as Santiago blushed, her eyes widening. I don't believe it, he's embarrassed, didn't think I'd ever see that happening
Trying not to stare any longer at him, Misty blinked and looked quickly at his other scars before turning away " and I am sorry for drawing blood on you, especially as it was unintentional. ..this time "
Trying not to smile, Misty's ears perked up as she heard him ask about the plants, so he saw something happening with them too, I'm glad it's not just my senses on over alert. Looking behind Dunston she watched as they started to swirl once more, nothing should really surprise her any more after all they had been too, but this...
"Actually its what made me run into you, it was as though those plants were reaching out and ..well..I'm not sure....You know, a couple of the species look familiar to me, a lion in the hunting party used to wander and when he returned he would bring medicinal herbs/plants with him. Two that were called...ummm.. Zuiker and Duquesne, were favourites of his, and they look like those ones hovering behind Dunston."
Looking ahead, Misty noticed that Tefnut with Koji and Liam behind her had come to a stop. " Santiago, you want to move up, I think something has happened up ahead, Dunston and I will come up behind you".
Glancing at Dunston, Misty moved closer and gave him a small hug. "just stay with me, and yes I did see vines moving, I think we are going to be tested again, while in this maze, and I have seen things moving too, so it's not just you...ok... if you see or hear anything, tell me, we really need to know whats going on around us, the more we all confide in everything, the better off we will be."
Keeping her head close to his so no one else could hear, Misty spoke quietly to Dunston.
" when we stop for a break, I want to have a look at your wound, I'd use that plant I described, but I'm honestly not sure about it,and I don't wont to put you in any harm. Also I would be happy to tell you how tef and I came to meet up... but lets see what has put the chills up our friend for now"

"'Duquesne,'" Santiago repeated after Misty as he raised an eyebrow. "That's kinda' fun to say. Duquesne." He started to chuckle before stalking ahead to catch up to the others. He raised an eyebrow as he heard Misty mention the plant and his wound and just chuckled again.
"Misty, I'm fine. It's just a scratch, I've gotten plenty worse," Santiago said as he rolled his eyes slightly. He felt that she was overreacting seeing as he had made it through a battle with a broken leg, cracked rib, and bloody back and still made it to the Pride Lands. Then again, his fainting incident might make people otherwise.
"You're overreacting a bit."

Liam heard Koji speak and took a breath. "Well.....I....don't...know....but...I trust...Tef with...my life..." he said, forcing his impaired words. This was entirely true, as Tef was the one he trusted the most, as he would be willing to go on a suicidal trip to help her, even at his age. He smiled a little, trying to keep Koji from worrying. He saw a shift in motion and looked in the direction, not where the movement came from, but where it was going to.

((OOC: Who's wound is Misty looking at?))
IC: Dunston felt a wave of relief knowing that he wasn't the only one seeing odd movements of the surrounding vegetation. He felt a little red under his fur when Misty hugged him, but he just took it realizing that any moment could take another life away. Stop being so pessimistic, he thought to himself. Misty was so strong and he couldn't help but admire her ability to pull the group together and keep from falling apart herself.
Dunston was slightly unnerved at Tefnut's sudden behavior, but he limped on. His leg wound had only been getting worse, but there was no sign of any infection. The sheer terror the jungle invoked and the feeling of hopelessness that went with it couldn't be very contributing to the healing process, but he wanted his leg to be better soon so he could be of some use to the group.

Koji listened intently at what the cub was saying, "so, you are saying that I can trust everyone as well as tefnut that is travelling with us ?"
Looking away from Liam, koji looked over his shoulder quickly, jumping a little as he saw the red maned lion fast approaching, turning back he stumbled then regained his footing as he saw the liopardess leading them , suddenly stop and speak into the air as though talking with someone.
Coming upon her now they had to stop as there wasn't any room to pass her by. Glancing around Koji couldn't see what she was staring at, plus she looked decidedly grey in colour and uneasy.
" Is everything alright, Tefnut.... or should we be turning around, ummm who are you whispering too ?'
Koji stood there not understanding what was happening, all he knew that she was behaving strange, this one Liam had said he trusted with their lives.

Misty with Dunston beside her came up fast behind Santiago, who had now stopped with Liam and Koji. Standing up on her paws as high as she could go, her vision was a tad blurred by fine red fur flying around.
"What have we all stopped for, nows not the time to rest, everybody we need to move through this maze as fast as we can."
Getting slightly fed up with seeing red, Misty bought up a paw and pushed the fur down onto Santiagos head. "There, now maybe I can see whats going on". Taken aback at seeing tefnut acting very strange, she pressed harder on the lions head, then realising what she was doing when she heard a grunt, she dropped her paw and moved quickly past him to where Tefnut was standing seemingly in a stupor.
Reaching out and touchng her friend on her shoulder didn't seem to get her attention, so the lioness this time smacked her harder, whilst calling to her.
"TEF... TEF, snap out of it already, get a grip girl, and tell us whats happening."

Tefnut heard them speak to her, but she failed to react. She could only stare at where the ghost had been a moment ago, her eyes wide in surprise and slight horror. She had seen her mother, she was sure of that! But it was impossible!
Then Misteeca smacked her, hard, finally catching her attention.
"Ow!"
She flattened her ears and turned to face her friend, stroking the sore spot with her other paw for a moment. Then she let her paw drop to the ground as she turned to look at the same spot she had been looking a moment ago.
"I think I saw something I could not have seen", she said with a lowered voice.
"I know because whom I saw has not been alive in a long time."
The liopardess shook her head and turned to look at Misteeca. The horror had vanished and was replaced with a determined smile.
"What ever I think I saw won't stop me from continuing though", she said.
"I won't let it scare me, since I assume its purpose was to make me run away..."
She chuckled, continuing to walk while shaking her head.
"Lets keep on moving, we don't know how long it'll take from us to get out."

"Woah, wait, Tefnut, slow down. What? You're not making sense," Santiago said from where he was standing as he began to think about that the liopardess had just said. He wasn't sure if he was just being slow or if she was just being confusing. Either way he had been left to carefully and slowly put together the words in his head to form something comprehensible...at least to himself.

Misty kept watching Tefnuts face, seeing the colour return slowly and the look of horror fading, replaced by one of her 'don't ask about it, I'm fine 'looks.
Sighing the lioness looked at her friend and moved in closer where none of the others could hear, " Once we start everyone moving again, you and I will have a talk, and you can tell me what you saw, you know I'll believe, you, we've been through too much together already, to doubt each other...ok ?"
Giving Tefnut a quick rub with her cheek, Misteeca stepped back and turned to see the males of the group standing there with quizzical looks on their faces
"It's ok everyone, we're ready to move... just... all of you know that strange things seem to follow us and happen, so just keep your eyes and ear open and alert, and if we all speak out about what we do see, maybe we can piece things together, that can go our way."
"OK Tef lead the way..you guys had better decide whos going where, as usual I'll go to the back."
Pushing her body to the side against the cool rocks, she noticed a few plants were moving against her again where she lay pressed. A smile came to her muzzle as she relaxed, as the feeling was quite comforting, like a small massage. Collecting her thoughts, she stood up straight and watched as finally they had all passed her.
Scuffing her paws on the ground, made her look down, the feeling on them was of warmth.
Puzzled Misty lowered her head as her muzzle got nearer she could feel heat radiating up towards her, Startled she jumped back whats under us that we don't know about, whys it getting hotter?
Looking up again she saw that they had moved off without her, lunging forward Misty broke into stride till she came up behind them. Panting, she licked her lips not really knowing what to do or say. Why was it only her that could feel the heat from the ground,

Dunston had done some exploring while the group was at a stop and had found some things that raised a lot of questions, and hopefully he'd be able to answer at least of few of them before he left. "Hey Misty, nice of you to catch up." he mused, seeing her panting. He knew he could trust her, so he thought he'd open up to her a little about his investigation.
"I want to show you something, maybe you can help me make sense of them." With that he padded to the wall and began gently pushing the vines away revealing the actual wall that lay underneath. "Look at these markings." he pointed his muzzle to a seiries of scratches carved into the wall. "Looks like your average claw marks, but look at this." He brushed away more of the vines and revealed even more marks, all with their different shapes yet with a similar theme. "There's been hundereds of these on both the walls that we've been walking past, probably from the beginning of this maze. Some shapes repeat, some resemble creatures and some even look like maps or directions." He let go of the vines since some of them started trying to wrap around his paws.
"I'm not sure, but I think this could be like a language. Maybe it's the history of whoever lived here before or instructions on how to get out of this maze and this jungle. Or I could just be seeing things, but I thought I should let you know." He smiled briefly and limped quickly to try and catch up with the group.

Misty stood there staring at the carvings on the wall, so many questions were flooding her mind and she didn't have an answer for one of them.
"Dunston what do you.... " looking sideways, she realised that he had started to walk off.
"Dunston, come back here now, you just can't throw all this at me, and then wander off,"
Misty hurried after him and placed a paw on his shoulder, "How about you slow down and walk with me back here a little, and tell me what you think....obviously you have been keeping an eye out on things while we have been in this... maze...or whatever it is we are in."
"Please Dunston ! "
Looking away and down quickly Misty, lifted a front paw "ouch, its hot again " shaking her head she looked over at dunston to see if he was feeling the same effects off the ground, but he was just standing there staring at her with a funny look on his face.
Clearing her throat, she gave him a small nudge "ok lets go catch up with the others". Placing her paw back down slowly, she felt the heat come in contact again. I can't say anything, no one will believe me, it's only happening to me....why . Moving forward with the lion, she looked back over her shoulder and could see a heat haze blocking the way they had come. Feeling a shiver run down her spine, Misty picked up speed.
"Dunston, what do you think happened down here, honestly now, between us, whats your gut reaction to all this and what you have found?"

Tefnut nodded at Misteeca when they continued moving and the lioness spoke to her. She knew she would have to tell Misty, she was propably the only one who would believe her anyway. They had gone through so much together now...
The liopardess shook her head. How had things come into this? She had merely wanted to help the small group of lions to find their friends... Now only Misteeca was left of them. She had never asked for all these strange things to happen, she never asked to become the leader of this group... And yet here she was, leading this group through a gigantic maze.
Tef glanced backwards and saw Misteeca and Dunston leving behind. She motioned the others to stop and wait for the two, her ears twiching as she listened while keeping her gaze on her friend. She narrowed her eyes. Something was way off now...
Then she realized. Her friend was keeping her paws out of ground as much as she could.
"Misty!" she called out with a slightly worried voice as she saw Misteeca picking up speed.
"What's wrong?"

Up ahead under a ledge in shadow and made darker by the overcast dark rain clouds, laid a shadowy figure, a pair of emerald green eyes seemingly glowed in the dark, watching this group.. these cats come closer to where he was. Different cats banded together was a unusual sight... his curiosity was picked up slightly watching them approach, they seemed to off noticed the walls he noted to himself.
He spoke suddenly, his voice deep like thunder "What business brings you here to the passage of ancients" his voice was neither angry nor happy, just spoke matter of fact like, eyes still shining in the little light that hit them, he rose and padded out from the shadows, all could see who was speaking now though whether they'd have any idea what he was, was a different matter. A immense powerful looking cat, paws that looked like they could kill in one swipe but he was not old... a young adult though hard to really tell his age.
He walked forward slightly paws falling heavily on the dirt, giving away somewhat the weight he was, towering well above any of them... his eyes darted between the cats and awaited some response... he was not interested in a fight and he would not start one... he would let them reveal their intentions first.

Liam had been listening to everything, what Dunston had said, what Tef had been commenting on, seeing Misty keeping her paws off the ground. All of this had worried him, but when he turned to hear the voice and saw the immense lion, he began trembling. He was assuming the worst case scenario, and he stayed silent.
