The Flood. It's been moving. We animals have been scurrying through, trying to save everything we can. Our histories, ancient artifacts and monuments, our belongings. But the Flood spreads everywhere. It spreads untill it reaches Bog & Burrow, and then I know we're in trouble.
Rain pours down. Water rises and starts pouring down the Bog & Burrow chute. A few animals scramble out, trying to get their footing in the dark, slick, deep mud. I extend a paw to one. "Artemis!" I realize. Artemis the red fox. The oldest and wisest fox ever (no, she is not a charecter. I just write about her.). She's using her claws to hold a bunch of bark with writing on it.
"Artemis!?" I say again. "Yes, Eliyana Fur Pawprint, I'm here." She says, yanking her bark away from the water. She slips in the mud, and some of her bark was scattered. She shrieks and darts towards it. I reach to pick up one in my claws and realise...huh?
Artemis snatches it from me. "You'll learn about that soon, Claw-Fang." I roll my eyes. "Let me guess. This is about me being trained by Claaws and somehow intercepting a bit of Ecio's magic." "Yes, Eliyana Fur Pawprint The ClawFang!" She croaks, thrusting her claw towards me. "And now is not the time, as we're in the middle of a flood!" She adds. I roll my eyes. "Please. Just call me Eli-" which by the way is said as Ellie. "-and get out of here." I growl. (I'm an Artic Fox, so I can growl a tiny bit)

So there you go! Flood is overtaking parts of Kyngdom. Will it destroy your home? Where will it strike? What's gonna happen? Please join me in this RP!

The water's a few feet tall. I can still stand...but I need to get food if I'm going to be holed up in my tree. I quickly jump out of my tree. There's got to be something--the apple grove! Of course! I start running and running and sometimes jumping from tree to tree, untill eventually I--stop at a birch tree.
Now that I think of it, this is where Windswift lives. I knock gently on the tree.
(July 17, 2016 - 8:51 am)
*knock* *knock* *knock* I peer down from my hollow. "Icy?" She looks up. "Hi, Windswift. I thought you lived here." I stare at her for a moment but quickly shake my head. "Um hi. I didn't expect to see you her." She smiled. "Um come on up."
She scrambled up the tree and sat atop a branch close to the opening of my hollow. I quickly flew and perched on her shoulder, nipping at her hair playfully as a sign of greeting. "Why are you here?" I asked politely. "I thought it best to store up on food as this flood is getting worse by the minute." I nodded before a very large downpour of rain started up, again. "Ugh, this rain is awful too," I mumbled. Icy peered up through the branches. A sliver of lightning made its way toward the earth. A few seconds later, thunder rolled in. "It's ten miles away," I said. Icy quickly scrambled down the tree, jumping off onto a small bit of dry land. I was still on her shoulder and may or may not have squeezed her shoulder a little too hard.
I glanced back at the birch tree that, though it was only a few feet away was blurred by the rain. "Uh icy, the flood and this storm is getting worse and I don't want to be holed up in dark hollow by myself....um so is it okay if I come with you?"

Kk, I know I have a lot of Charries, but none of them fit in here! Oh wait! Yes, one does! Here's.......
Bloodmoon~(she's a red vegetarian vixen)
I watched the water rise as the wolf near me galloped away. He wasn't the nicest wolf in the world, but he was polite. We had chatted. He had told me his name was Orion, I had told him my name. We talked about the flood. Then he had to go. Shame. Suddenly, the water lurched higher. I stumbled into a tree and hit my head.
"Ouch!" I yelled. Then I listened. *knock knock knock*
"Windswift?"
"Icy?"
I recognized these names...but how? Why? Then my brain snapped together. My sister Meliisa talked about them all the time! I poked my muzzle out from behind the tree and saw a human girl staring up at an owl. The water was up to my chest now. I frantically swam over.
"May I come with you?" I asked the girl, gasping for air. She didn't speak, just nodded and climbed the tree. I mustered all my strength and jumped onto the lowest branch. My front paws hit it, but my lower paws slipped. I held on tight as I fell slowly off the tree. Then a hand grabbed my paw just as I slipped. I looked up to see Icy, straining with my weight. Huh. I guess even on a veggie diet I was still heavy! Quickly, I pulled myself over the branch. We scrambled into Windswift's burrow.
It was cozy. I glanced around. Lots of wood, but nothing special. Icy was sneaking glances at me. I almost snorted. Like she thought I didn't notice. We all sat on the floor.
"Thank you." I said softly to them. "Icy, you saved my life. Windswift, if it wasn't for you, we would be drowning." Icy blushed, and Windswift his her head behind her wing.
"So," Icy asked, still blushing. "Who are you? You remind me of someone."
I sighed. "Yeah, I get that a lot. Bloodmoon is the name. Meliisa is my sister, perhaps you know her?" I questioned. Icy' eyes narrowed.
"I do know her actually." I nodded. Something told me that my sister and this girl might not be exactly friends.

Me and Orion run like the wind.Then suddenly a red antelope stoped Orion."Hello there what is you name?"The red antelope asked."Orion now would you exuse me I don't intend to get caught by the flood."Orion replied.The antelope look behind her and with a face of shock got swept up by the flood."That was odd"I said."Yep what animal stops you just to ask your name?"Orion ask.We see a mountain to our left."Should we spend the night there the flood shouldn't get use?"Orion asked.I look at it it look like good hinding place no Human could climb it."Sure"I reply.We climd to this den we walk in a lay down.Then a head pops out to the side it's Eliyana Fur."Hey Eliyana would you care to join use....

I sigh. "I would love too. But a family of rabbits is in danger of drowning and apparently it's my job to get to them...an entire family of 12..."
Lupa gives me a wolfish grin. "I'll go with you."
(is this ok?)
(July 19, 2016 - 6:50 am)
Of course it is!
I tell Orion to be safe and not to hunt unless he has to eat something. And to meet up with our parents at willow creek. Then I bolt off with Eliyana.
Eliyana put in your part please.

We saved the family of rabbits with no problem. But when it was time to come home, we got...lost.
I waded through the rapids. "It's too deep!" I yell. Lupa is swimming through. "There!" She says, pointing to the nearest branch. "That thing won't hold us!" I snarl. It's a weak, low overhanging branch. But we put our paws on it, and it holds out..but what to do?

"Cealani?"
Trees. Rocks. Sticks. Branches. Dirt. More trees. More dirt. And darkness. Everywhere darkness.
"I think we're lost."
A rustle. Their night vision kicked in in all shades of green and black. Cealani's eyes glowed a bright green, shimmering in the dark. He fluttered his feathers, a mix of light greens only just dimmer then his eyes. "No map, I suppose?"
His beak clacked a dullish green, his whole body glowing against the dark, deep green and black of the trees and shadow-swallowed forest. "No. No map. Or sence of direction."
A hundred thousand years ago they never needed a sence of direction. They had one home place that they knew how to get to from every place in all of Kyndom. The grave of their mother. And they knew well the forest around that place, and Ayearth knew the river that ran into the cave with all his heart. They never needed to know where anything else was. Well, if you didnt count Claaws' exile, but she never left that cave for five years, so she didnt need to find it again. "Then, well, we truley are lost. Where is this ball? And it starts in no few then....well a few days! What if we miss it? And they kill Ayearth!"
He fluttered his bright green wings, and Claaws watched as a single feather dislodged itself from his wing and spiraled down to rest on the dark green forest floor. "Ayearth wont die. He cant, he's a Power."
A gust of wind spiraled around Cealani's wings, and twirled down to pick up the feather and bring it to his talon. He twirled it between his claws before crushing it and letting the crumpled feather fall to the ground. "We already figured out once that Powers can die. Lets not figure that out a second time."
Claaws sighed and glanced up at the dark, moonless sky. "Lets wait untill morning. We could maybe see better, and not go in circles as much."
A star twinkled from above. It almost seemed like an eye watching from above. Waiting. Waiting for the perfect moment. The moment to strike.

I woke to the sound of rushing water. Rapids. Water sprayed my fur as i blinked open my eyes. Water. Water?! I sprang to my feet and gasped as my paws sunk deep into the water. I lifted one and shook it, stepping back. The morning sun beat down on the water, making it shimmer and sparkle. The flood wasn't even close to forest last night. Or....or was it?
Even if it was, the water was rising.
And fast.

Hmmm, I'm going to change some stuff from my earlier post (the post that begins *knock knock knock*). Let's see.
Icy and the fox fumble into my hollow, icy has to hunch a bit but otherwise she's fime. I quickly set out a basket brimming with red and blue berries then set too work brewing a kettle of juniper mint tea. (One of my favorites) "thank you, icy you saved my life. Windswift if it wasn't for you we would be drowning." I quickly hid my head behind a metel wing, forcing myself back to working on the tea. Icy and bloodmoon (as was the fox's name). Started chatting.
After a few moments the tea kettle whistled, both bloodmoon and icy turned around a little too quickly. "How on earth did you..." Bloodmoon said. "Don't ask," I answered. I lifted the kettle from a bronze stove, much like a human's but several times smaller. I removed three teacups from a basket hidden in the dark folds of my nest. After pouring a generous portion into each of them I set the kettle next to the berries which still hadn't been touched.
Icy daintily picked up the miniature teacup and sipped, blood moon just lapped as we all enjoyed a moment of silence listening to the pitter patter of rain. I lit a few candles positioned throughout the hollow, the buttery glow cascading over the walls and ceiling. I heard a stifled gasp and chuckled softly. "You paint?" Asked blood moon her eyes as big as tea plates. "Yup"
icy's eyes meandered over the walls. "Huh"
"but enough about me, its only a day till the ball so we should get some rest. Icy do you want us to build you a raft or something to get to your tree? Unless you can swim of course," icy looked down at her teacup, "I'll stay a little longer, if that's OK." I looked up at her, "your always welcome,"
Blood moon yawned and kneaded the floor, "here let me get you something comfortable"I said quickly. I produced a woven blanket from a basket and formed a little nest in the corner. Blood moon smiled and circled a few times before laying her head to rest. Icy hugged her knees to her chest, staring out the opening. " Im going to stay awake a little longer, if that's fine with you." I tugged at her hair playfully, "sure," I blew out the candles except for one and positioned myself next to bloodmoon's pelt. I closed my eyes, and felt content.

hey lupa won't be here for a week and two days
(July 20, 2016 - 8:27 pm)
(Haya Windswift maybe you could fly over me and find me on your way to meating the others because i truly am lost....)
(July 21, 2016 - 12:24 am)
The sun rises over the horizon. A thin thread of light cascading over the flooded forest. I feel a soft buffet of wind and turn my head toward the north. Listening intently.
I quickly scrawl a note on some bark paper along with a hunk of bread and cheese for when icy and blood moon woke up. Then I alight on a strong current traveling east. Scanning the flood provoked forest beneath me. After an hour or so with no avail I spiraled down to perch beside a roaring river of water. I'm just about to go up through the treetops again when I hear a distant call, or a caw.
Sorry have too leave. Going to st Louis to pick up my siblings.

I know by now my home is destroyed. I made myself a home by taking the most important things to the crying cavern, where the last living Diamondtails are. (Cheak out Ones that Were sealed away thrend if you're confused!)
"Laya what are doing here?" asks Marrow
"My home was flooded."
" You have the treasure?"
"Yes"
"Then you can go into one of empty ones."
"Okay"
