"The Annual Thunderan Festival of Peace is when the next full moon shines brightly in the night's sky… as in TONIGHT! CURLY WHISKERS IN THE RAIN, WHERE IS THAT CUB!" a wrinkled sorcerer with pale gray fur hissed in frustration. He stomped on the tile impatiently glaring at a young snow leopard slave to fan him. The youngling stumbled to the old feline's side, waving a large purple fan in front of him, desperately trying to cool down his fiery employer.
In the mountains of Snuuevera the species of cats that resided there had thick coats so they could be comfortable in the insanely cool climate. Thundera was dry and dusty, located in the desert, with very little foliage surrounding them… far different than anything the people of Snuuevera had ever encountered.
"Give me that," Aicnu hissed, snatching the fan from the startled slave, beginning to frantically wave it in front of his face, "His Majesty will be furious if we cannot find Princess Panriae before the festival actually begins…"
The slave bowed his head in submission, pulling his beautifully marked ears back, far too scared of the Sorcerer Aicnu to say anything, his only response would ever be a bow. Besides, if he ever did come up with an actual response he'd surely get beaten for certain. Poro winced at the thought, and just for that unnecessary wince, he got thwarted over the head with that giant purple fan! Poro grabbed his head with his large white paws, looking up at Aicnu with fearful icy blue eyes.
"Get out of here you little miscreant!"
"Ahh!" Poro sprinted off, pounding away on all fours, blowing right past the King of Snuuevera himself. But the poor kit was so frightened he didn't even notice.
The King, who was not as fierce as he appeared, watched calmly as the kit ran away out of pure terror. He turned to his sorcerer, who had not yet noticed him, the King grinned slyly, "You'd probably be more comfortable with less clothing."
Scoffing as his King's suggestion, Aicnu turned with an icy glare, "I dare not give up Snuueverian customs… even at the risk of my own comfort."
The King shrugged, walking next to Aicnu, his black and white pelt waving back and forth as a short gust of wind came rushing past the two.
"As always, Princess Panriae has yet to be found."
The King smiled, "She has a curiosity that has yet to be tamed, just like her vigorous spirit."
The silvery fur on Aicnu's face became bristled, "Your majesty," his tone strained, "might I advise that while the Princess is still young, that you reconsider perhaps taking her mischievous behavior a little more seriously. A form of punishment could perhaps influence her future behavior greatly—."
The King smiled, baring his large canines, making Aicnu blink, a trickle of sweat breaking through his brow, "My daughter behaves respectfully in front of the courts, Aicnu." He then scoffed, "I believe your frustration resides in the fact she enjoys giving you lip whenever you choose to not respect her the way she is accustomed."
But before Aicnu could attempt at making excuses for himself, the King leaped forwards, cascading down a flight of stairs leading to the outside like a brilliant white flash, with a few more graceful leaps, the King was out of sight.
Aicnu could be heard from at least a yard away, cursing amongst himself, stomping on the ground.
Ears flat against her head she slowly walked through the large crowds in Thundera, pulling a tan hood over her face. Not really enjoying this time of the year. It was her least favorite in fact. Crowds and people were something that she was not fond of. All the smells though she was very happy about. Sometimes she would just sit around and just let the scents surround her and she would try and pick each individual scent out. Something her and her mother would do every time she was off of work, these memories caused her lip to quiver in sadness. Mag just shook her head to clear her thoughts, sighing as she wrapped the cloak around herself tightly. She couldn't think about those things now.
Large hazel eyes darting around, as if searching for someone, or something in particular. Though not finding what she craved. "Where is she?" she grumbled to herself.
At the sound of a loud crash she jumped and fell over, hood falling off of her head and revealed her ears which were out of proportion with the rest of her body, large and tipped with black fur. They were more sensitive than most of the other's ears, which made sounds such as the plate that had dropped all the more dramatic to herself. "Mag? Is that you hon? Calm down." An older woman laughed. "Sorry Gem, just it was loud is all." She laughed weakly in a timid voice. She really didn't speak much. Though there were few cats that she had known since before the accident that she trusted and loved.
"Where are you sneaking off to today?" the old tigress asked with a knowing look. "S-sneaking around? Who said I was sneaking around?" she asked and her ears once again went flat. The small girl stood up and pulled the hood back on, causing the woman to laugh softly. "well just stay out of trouble for once okay?"
"Alright I'll try." The small feline smiled weakly and darted off, moving swiftly through the crowds. Her ringed tail wrapping self-consciously around her slender waist as she walked. Seriously where was that leopard? She said she would be there before the festival would start! The other knew very well that Mag hated all the loud noise and the crowds. So there she was, slipping into the pub, trying to keep herself hidden in the mess of people drinking themselves silly. She wasn't into that nonsense. She would much rather just sit outside in a quiet field and look up at the clouds with the most important person in her life. Though all she could think of now were these two half tigers being rather loud and obnoxious.
"And then they like went up in the sky and it was all…." And to top of his story he made a loud explosion noise and his arms extended out from either side of him. Nebulous broke out into a fit of laughter, snorting every so often. A companion of his started to cry he was laughing so hard, grabbing his gut with his left paw, banging the table with his other, "OH MUH GOODD! HAHAHAHAPFFFTT!" Suddenly, with no warning, Nebulous' pal became surprisingly alert. He turned his head, sniffed the air a good few times, and pointed with his large paw, "Female!" his large dark green eyes became dilated and his teeth bared with excitement. He strutted towards the small female, not aware that his large mass must've seemed terrifying to her petite size, "Y-you, you are like, fuckin gorgeous, lady, like, you are pretty!" he kneeled in front of her and wrapped his claws around her shoulders, "Hey," his voice, although obviously slurred from his drink, became comforting and smooth, ".. you wanna take your clothes off for me, huh?"
Nebulous looked over when he pointed out the female. "Uhm…Bro? calm down." He said alas…he was too late. The other tiger had gotten up and darted over to the poor unsuspecting female. He sighed and face palmed silently. He should have expected something like this out of Raja, though it was a bit late to go save her, the worst had already been said. Not that he hadn't said worse before. Luckily the girl was getting him when he was coming off his "high". Neb just grabbed his mug and leaned back, watching the two. His dual colored eyes hardly amused. The left a dazzling forest green while the other an icy blue.
Mag's Hazel eyes went wide at the man's abrupt introduction. "Uhm…..n-no I wouldn't…." she whispered and stood up, pulling her hood over her now flat ears. Looking around nervously. Where was Panriae? She could use her right now….She wasn't used to this kind of interaction. They clearly were from out of town and didn't know much about her or the fact that she wasn't very fond of people talking to her.
Raja snickered, the tone of his voice mellowing into a deep throaty purr, "Ppprrrrrrrrrrrr~." He laid down on his stomach rolling on his back, out stretching one of his paws to touch her face, "Come oooon, come oooon, you know you wanna love me."
Neb couldn't help but laugh softly as he watched his best friend make a complete ass of himself in front of this girl who he clearly found attractive.
"uhm….N-no not really." She said nervously and moved his large hands off of her face. Clearly not comfortable with the contact. Her tail puffing out in fear.
