OPENING POST

The sun once again rises behind Caliphurs' Spine... A new day begins. Flowers bloom with passion and life as spring begins. trees are greener than ever, with a power similar to a fires' burning desire. Creatures rise from their slumber, and begin their daily rituals. Panmennt is beginning to weake up, feeling peaceful, as ever, just like its inhabitants. Prey & predator begin their battle for life once again.
The weather is clear, no rains coming soon, perfect time for patrols, sparring & hunting.
The temperature is not so hot, but if you plan on rolling on your back someday to get a sun bath, today's the day.
Humidity is not a problem.

Just now was the sun beginning to infiltrate through the mossy vines that covered the top of the Broodmother den, along with the entrance. As the sunrays started their slow arriving, Marianne opened her eyes sleepily. She was not taking care of any cubs as of now, but she was let to say in the Broodmother den because it would remain unused otherwise. She flicked her tail and began licking her paws, as a daily routine.
When she was ready, she stretched and raised from her haunches. She calmly rotted towards the entrance and surrended herself to the bath of sunbeams. She squinted slightly due to the intense daylight and when she accustomed to it she kept walking. Maybe she'd catch a snack before going for a walk, not that a Broodmother's life was too interesting, either.

The sun had already risen far above the tips of the trees around the camp. Most Caliphurs would be up and about, making sure the borders of the territory they were living in were clean and protected. Though unlike most Caliphurs, Ase preferred to sleep in a bit late. Lifting her head tiredly, Ase blinked nervously, a low growl emitting her lips as the sun slipped into the Warriors den, casting a blinding light throughout the den. Sitting up upon her brown haunches, the Caliphur strained her green eyes, the holy rays of sunlight slightly stinging her eyes as she looked at the entrance of the den. After a few moments of cowering away from the sunlight, Ase decided it was time to get up, and besides, she wouldn't be able to fall asleep anyway. Ase's feather tail flicked carelessly as she began to groom her dirt brown pelt, starting with the easiest part to reach. Her sides.
After a good cleaning and adding the finishing touches to her grooming, Ase stood up, shaking the debris off her haunches before making her way out of the den, hesitant at first as the light started to climb up her body until there were no shadows covering her dark pelt. Looking around, the warrior blinked, her eye's still getting used to the tough sunlight that was currently blinding her, but it wasn't hard to notice one of the other Caliphurs in her group strolling around the camp. Ase looked on towards her, a bit confused on what Marianne was doing, but, maybe she could ask? Clearing her heavy throat, Ase watched the other Caliphur closely "Marianne! Wait up." Putting a bit of bounce in her step, Ase quickly followed after the older Caliphur, a smile creeping over her lips as she got closer to Marianne "I was wondering if you'd like to go hunting with me for breakfast, maybe catch a few small animals to chew on? Or did you have something else in mind for today." Ase wasn't really one to bother others but, today she was bored out of her mind, and she didn't really have anything to do today, so, she was basically free to do whatever she wanted until something came up. Hopefully Marianne would agree to come with her.

On the way to the camp's food stock, Marianne had to suddenly stop when a voice called for her, behind.
Marianne turned around curiously and was surprised to find Ase, a warrior. With a kind smile, Marianne nodded and moved her tail sideways, showing interest.
"Of course. I think i haven't hunted in... What? 3 Months? I need to shake a bit you see..."
After this, she let out a small chuckle.
"I was actually going to catch a snack and go for a walk, but i'd prefer some exercise." She decided to add, as she looked at the entrance of the camp. It was big, like an arch made of rocks. An amazing natural occurance that helped us mark where the camp began.

A smile crept over the Caliphurs lips as she looked at Marianne "Alrighty then, let's get going. Gotta exercise those joints!" Ase said with a joyful hum as she took off in a steady but quick trot, leading the way towards the entrance to the camp which she happily went through. It was hard to get out once in a while, but now that she could relax a bit and go hunting with a friend, things wouldn't be so bad, and besides, they could exchange a bit of advice and knowledge. Ase alway's wondered what it was like to have a litter of cubs.
Flicking her tail gently, she lifted her nose to the air, taking a deep breath of air as she skipped along the worn path that led away from their camp. The Caliphur appeared as a cub who had just been allowed to go out into the forest with their littermates and mother, a big smile plastered across her face as she looked from left to right, looking for something that was worth hunting.

(Will post Bjorn tomorrow when I get back from a party.)

Marianne followed Ase quietly. She yawned and began trotting, walking by her side. When she began exploring, she noticed as the territory began to go greener. They were getting away from the beach. The broodmother gave Ase a quick look and smiled to herself.
"You remind me of when i used to go for walks with my older litters, you know? Happy to discover the thrilling beauties inside this land once again- They would always ask me for this one old oak tree that has carvings on it..." Marianne suddenly felt like she was being boring and had a pause. She sighed quietly, looking away, but she returned her gaze to her mere seconds after that and talked again. "You probably think i should be in the elders' den right now, probably!She joked, chuckling under her breath. I am used to telling stories, and still haven't gotten off it. While we search for prey, would you like to see the tree? I think the carvings were done by a passing loner family of some kind, but that's a theory." She clarified clearly, keeping her head high and tail rested, almost touching the floor.

"Don't worry. I feel as if with my behavior that I should be in the nursery with the cubs." Chuckling the words, Ase looked over to the other female Caliphur, her tail wagging excitedly as she invited her to see a certain tree "I would love to see the tree, and maybe on our way there you can tell me one of your stories? I would love to hear one anytime if your free." slowing her pace to a walk, Ase's ear's perked at the sound of running water. It was about time! She was just starting to get thirsty.
Walking faster then she was originally, Ase caught sight of the stream, a mischievous glimmer in her green eye's as she took off, and when nearing the stream, threw herself into it, laughing hysterically as she sat up and looked over to Marianne, her tongue swiping over her muzzle as drips of water fell from her face. Ase shook her head, water flying everywhere "Come join me! The water is fine" She said, her tail wagging slowly in the water.

Marianne smiled fondly and looked around, trying to ubicate herself on what was the path towards the strange old carved tree. She listened to Ase in silence, and gave out a short reply. "Sure!"
After walking for a while, they found a stream and Ase procceeded to jump into it ot swim. Marianne looked at Ase with curiosity. Marianne did not know how to swim, as in trained, it was just a natural instinct, yet Ase looked as if she had been trained to swim since she was a little cub. Marianne was about to jump into the deep waters with a classical "cannon ball", but she was discouraged by the sudden, unexpected noise of some leaves. She felt someone was around,
her senses were tingling with the feeling of alert. Marianne crouched and tensed her facial nerves. Lowering her voice, she called out for Ase.
"Ase, you should get out of the water. I don't think we are alone. I'm not sure if it's prey or predator..."
She looked around. Maybe she was just imagining stuff. Taking care of cubs had probablly crazed her up a little... Or not.
