I hooted in excitement. My speech could be heard in Bog & Burrow! Everyone goes to Bog & Burrow once in a while. I told them that I would edit the speech and flew away. I need to do it fast.

I started editing right away. I made a few adjustments to it so it seems more appealing and interesting and more appropriate for a place like Bog & Burrow. Here is what I got (it's edited)

This is a message to all who are against humans. There is no reason that you should be against them.

One, not all humans are bad. Spies like Trill, Tani, and Ronan have all helped us, and without their courage, we couldn't have rescued Zephyra. It may have taken longer to rescue her without their help, and Zephyra might've became a mindless animal by then.

Two, BIG is only curious as far as we know. They wish to discover the mysteries of this world. We now have ipads that can translate across languages and make talking across long distances possible.

Three, the bad humans can be punished. We just need to convince the government of this. When the leaders of this world hears our voice-howls, screeches, hoots, or roars-they must know that we are just as intelligent as humans. With the humans' help, we can save our own lives, and have the humans more aware of our existence. 

I hooted in satisfaction and headed to Bog & Burrow to get some food. I will try to sign up for a time to talk as well. 

Ferra and I were talking to Storm, when Icy suggested he give his speech at Bog&Burrow. Ferra seemed interested. "Wait, so can we perform there?" She asks. "Of course!" Says Icy. "Where is it? Where do I apply?" Ferra says excitedly. "Find Storm. He'll show you" I say. She runs off in that direction. And I begin to wonder about Moonshadow again. "Hey Icy, you say you know Moonshadow, do you know where I could find him?"

I was at Bog & Burrow arranging a time and having Wiseowl passing out suddenly. :-/  

I walk through the library viewing the files. There was tons of information. There was a part of the library that included books unlike the file part of the library. There were spying books, there were war strategy books, anything that may be useful. The Art of War is even in there! (It's an actual book. By Sun Tzu) The Major Atlas (the only atlas/map apparently besides the one in my dorm in the Capto Ablore burrow) was empty except with two sections that were human made, found by Wigbig and Humblebug. The Mapmaker's association was made to help fill in the empty spaces. I had read most of the books in the book part of the library already, but there are a few books that are left to reading. Defence mechanisms are necessary, and knowing how spies work will make the place more protected. With the file for Claaws is missing with the report from Eli, we need more defences. I looked at the files. Every animal and person are registered here. Claaws's file, like Eli said, was ripped away with claw marks. I start to think. I opened up the last book I didn't read in the library: The Textbook. OK, it's not really called the Textbook, but it is the only textbook of war strategies. I was half-way through it, and it contained lots of information. I start reading and took out my notebook. It was made of bark paper bound together with thick and braided grasses. I took a quill and used the walnut ink to take more notes. I had taken notes on everything from the files to books in the library. I raised my talon and started reading and writing notes.

I flap my wing at my face, using it as a fan. If I were a human, I would be sweating. Thimble scampers up a tree, pushes off, and does a backflip, landing her gently on the ground. Where is Icy? She's been gone three-no four-days now. Eli. It's all because of Eli! Why, I oughta..... I think about all the things I'd love to do to Eli if I ever caught her. Thimble seems to notice that I've stopped punching the dummy and that I now have an evil grin on my beak. "Scarlet?" Thimble takes a cautious step forward, and raises one eyebrow. "Huh? Oh. I was just thinking... Um" I don't know whether to tell her about it or not. I decide against it for now. "Um, never mind." I say. But I begin to think. What has become of me? It's like I feel hot inside whenever I think about Eliyana Fur. And when I'm around her, my stomach clenches up, my eyes narrow, it's like I can't control myself.  What's happening? Could it be...... I shake the idea out of my head. No. I need to worry about Icy right now. I head to the file room. To Eliyana. But on my way I see Icy. Wait, is that Icy and....Her clone? Her twin? And a, um, it looks like a cats body with the tail, face and colors of a fox. And Storm. How could this day get any weirder.

~ Scarlet  

On my way to Capense's office with Anwen, I see Scarlet. She's staring at me and Anwen. "Icy...?" Scarlet says nervously. "Um, meet my long-lost-never-met-because-my-dad-was-a-complete-jerk sister," I say to Scarlet.

I see Scarlet coming into the library and with Anwen and Icy come in with the fox thing. Scarlet was looking at Anwen in suprise while Icy quickly explained that she was her twin that was lost when they were young. I closed the book and notes, returned the book to the proper shelf, and put the notes in my messenger bag of useful things. I made sure my mask was on (I had worn it ever since my first post. I only take it off before I sleep), and I headed toward the dorms. I had to tell Capense Icy's return with Anwen. I swoop into Capense's dorm. Capense was on his desk, looking at some papers. "Capense!" I hooted. "Icy returned!" Capense looked up from the papers to look at me. "Has she really returned?" I motioned Capense to follow me and showed him Scarlet, Icy, and Anwen talking to eachother. 

Capense started talking with them when I realized that I was very hungry. I started thinking about creamy mealworms (humans eat mealworms [some do at least] and so I know that they are creamy) in fresh salad at Bog & Burrow. I decided to go to Bog & Burrow to get dinner. The real mealworms are not so easy to find in these parts. So I went off to Bog and Burrow (again.).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am trying to connect stories from another RP with Wiseowl (called Characters Into Reality). I am thinking of posting an image of what I look like. Mask included (remember I always wear the mask until I have to go to sleep. It is highly uncomfortable wearing a war item in bed. Battle claws not included because I usually don't wear them, but I put them in my messenger bag.).

My hen CAPTCHA named Mia says gddd. It's the second time you tripled letters. Last time was when the original (Shall we Start?) thread was editable. 

Anwen, it's your turn.

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. Hopefully I can find some time to write a new, long post soon. I'm still here, though!

i can't believe. I just can't believe! Eli and her team are in there with the badger, fighting it, and we haven't even begun our journey? Ugh! She basically stole our plan, our idea! Our mission! Then I hear something. "Scarlet," I turn around. "Hi-oh, it's you." It had turned out to be Eliyana Fur. 'The best arctic fox in the world' "it's not personal, it's just buisness. Trust me, I wouldn't come see you if I didn't have to." She says. "Alright. What is it?" I say. "It's about the files. I work in the file department now, you know." She says rather smugly.  "Yes, I know." I retort. "Well, in the files, I found this one, about Icy's dad being part of BIG." I was highly surprised by this. "And that means  he's Anwen's dad, too. We need them out of here." She says. "It wasn't their fault that their dad was a worker for BIG! We can't kick them out for their genetics!" I say. "Of course. You wouldn't understand. I thought you might help me...but then again". "This is just a way you found to kick them out because their humans! What have they ever done to you?" I remember my fault as soon as the words leave my mouth. "What have they ever done to me? What have they ever done to me? Betrayed me. They both protect the one who killed. My. Family." She says. "Humans. Are. Scum." "No. Not all humans. That's a stereotype." "Oh, pish, posh. All humans are the same. Believe me." "Well, Eli, I don't. Back at the coop where I used to live, there were plenty of nice humans. There was one girl who would come and feed us every morning, rain, snow, or sleet. In return, we gave her our eggs. She always carried us gently, and gave us blankets in the winter. Take that." "Really Scarlet? Just drop the act. Forget it. Are you looking for a fight?" "Oh, I see. Well two can play this game." She bared her teeth, I narrowed my eyes. We circled each other for a moment, then she pounced. I kicked. I flapped, scratched. She yelped, took a swipe at my wing. I aimed with my talon for her eye. Missed. This went on for a while, feathers and fur flying. Blood dripping. Eli took out her crossbow and took aim. She wouldn't. She would. I duck, and the arrow whizzes over my head. I land and look Eliyana in the eye. The turn and walk away. She does the same, with a sad look on her face. Then I realize why. She had a bad experience with humans, and now sage doesn't trust them. She had a bad experience with me. And she used to trust me. I was an animal. A potential friend. And what about me? What got into me? Fighting a fox that's never done anything to me? But I know better than to wonder. I've read many books about the origin of the powers. The Power of Darkness. I need to find a guardian. Or a Power. 

I run off into the forest in rage.

I use my claws to swipe down trees. Grown trees.

Stupid Hen.

I now understand why when humans are acting stupid or scared that they call eachother 'Chickens'. I mutter more insults to myself. Stupid, goodfornothing Hen. I swipe down another tree. Ugh. I can distantly hear Icy talking with Anwen.

It's not fair.

She gets a family. I don't. She has someone to love her and take care of her and she gets magic. Well...I used to know a bit about magic. From èùsythus badger. But he's dead now, too. (note: this is not the guardian badger) I swipe down another tree. Foolish, stupid..

It starts snowing. Great. I head to the Capn'O training area and sit there, in the snow. Presently a mouse skitters by. I recognize her as Thimble. "Hello." She squeaks. "Hi.." I say.

I watch her training and realise that shes not so bad at that after all. "Nice." I say. Thimble glows with pride. Why is it so amazing that I of all people are saying that shes good at that? Then I realise it's because I never really compliment anyone. Thimble does a backflip off of a training dummy and I whistle in appreciation.

"How do you do that?" I ask. "It's not really that hard, look..."

~Eli <3

P.S: Keira~Captcha says duti. Yes, I have my duty. To avenge my family. 

Thimble~  

Train, train, train, that's all I have to do! Until I'm really awesome at everything, I can't go on any important missions. But I don't know when I'll need to go on a mission, so I have to train all the time, so I can be ready! Eli just complimented me...So does that mean I'm getting better? She never really compliments anyone...So yeah, I must be getting way better!!! 

I show Eli how to do backflips, but then I remember the flashbacks I've been having. Were they flashbacks, or something else? I excuse myself and run into the main Captn' O building.

I never told Scarlet about them because--well, I don't know enough about them. I need information. So I run to the library, where Scooter directs me to the BIG records. I plop down and begin to read.
