Sun and Moon

By InsaneSnakeJig

Authoresses notes - READ THIS!!! Okay, I went desperate. I could never find shape-shifting RPG things so I made my own and it is a KP thing, too. Can you join? It doesn't have to be anything like this except it is in the Cosmos clan. (Yes you can make up your own characters and clans if other people will do it, and the characters can be human, or shifer and shifters can have any pheno) Well here it is... I'm still working on it so bear with me!!

I'm Pyrolite! MWAH HA! 8.

Cosmos listened to Pyrolite blabber infront of him.

"And then I touched it and it went WHOOOOOSH!" She said, poking the air and then spinning around like an idiot. "Alright then..." he said, putting a hand on her shoulder to calm her down before she got hurt. "It's just that I expected you to ask if we needed help from the Thura clan first, but I guess thinking about helping was a good idea."

Pyrolite stuck her tongue out stupidly when he patted her head and she went off to go elsewhere (on her ramparts to look special). Cosmos slowly turned to Drakken who was leaning against the rock with the sun and moon carved on it, obviously really angered by nosy, little, STUPID Pyrolite.

"You suck, you know that, right?" Cosmos said acidly. Dr. Drakken looked up at him and growled. No, really. He sounded like an evil dog or something. The shark shifter burst out laughing. "I find it SO amazing how you don't beleive you are a shifter! You should hear yourself! And you know what legends say, huh? Huh? HUH?!"

The mad scientist rolled his eyes. "Oh, please tell me, Cosmos. I'd be devastated if you didn't."

"Legends say you have to have strong shifting energy to be able to work sigils. Speaking of sigils, WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THEM?!" He roared. "DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THEY ARE! IT'S TREASURE TO A CLAN! THEY'RE ALMOST MAGICAL!!"

At this part a couple of shifters walked in, heard that Cosmos was mad and then they ran away for their lives. Sharks tend to have mood swings.

"You are so annoying! Would you beleive that a Dragon and Unicorn were nesting in my hair or something if I told you? Why are you so... OBSESSED with all this mystical and magical stuff?" Drakken said back. Cosmos dropped his jaw. "You should've told me before you had a dragon nesting in your hair!"

He gave Cosmos one last look and stormed off.

The shark shouted one last time, "Don't get me too mad! I can easily kick you out and let the Reguba clan eat you or something!"

Shifters scattered as he walked through the halls, not wanting to anger him in anyway. He was already a maniac, so they didn't want to be by him when he wanted to let off some steam. He never should have even let Pyrolite take him to this place! He didn't even care if that stupid Reguba clan swarmed in and killed everyone. But then that little voice came into his head that probably had a special purpose to make Drakken especially annoyed.

'I'm gonna be all serious-like this time! You are a shifter! Just live with it! It's now bugging EVERYONE how you just deny the facts! You probably think you're going insane right now! NOPE! If I had a face you'd be like, 'E gad, he sure is serious right now!' and I AM!' It said. Dr. Drakken was ignoring it until it continued, 'Look, how about tonight you just go back to the library. It's only FULL of HUNDREDS of shifterbooks. Gee, you find that helpful?!?!'

"Yup!" Drakken said outloud and Kim and Ron just happened to be in the hall helping with the war problem when he said that. "Er... yes you are stupid?"

They looked at eachother and continued down the hall, bot really wanting to know further.
Pyrolite stood up on the ramparts.

She wasn't especially mad at Dr. Drakken, she found it a little hard to be mad at anyone in her clan. But she sensed that he was obviously ticked off at her. He was close to being dangerous!

She twanged her bow string and laid back on a rock. She knew nothing would happen out here. Pyrolite also found it very frustrating how her clan just wants to help him, and all he does is make fun of it or something. She really didn't like that and wanted to apologize just so he would shut up. But she didn't want to!

Who cares about him?! I have to worry about my own problems, she thought. Like... finding my phenotype! She found it embaressing not really knowing it while everyone else easily found theirs because they just felt that way. So Pyrolite had no choice but to go at night.

And maybe if she just happens to know how to shift in anyway, Drakken will treat her with a little more respect. SHE COULD THREATEN HIM!

The image in her head right now -

Pyrolite (Is a big, muscular, physical shifter wolf that has an loud voice) - Scratch me behind my ear or DIE!

Dr. Drakken - I wouldn't dream of denying you, Pyrolite!

*When Drakken's hand is close enough, Pyrolite eats it)

Dr. Drakken - You kids....

With this thought in her head, Pyrolite burst out laughing.

"Manage my fangs you old man!" she shouted to nobody in particular. Waaaaaay on the other side of the mountain, a shifter hears her and thinks that it is the one next to him. "So, Worm-bait! You want me to manage your fangs?! FEEL MY CLAWS YOU FILTHY FLEA-BAG OF A SHIFTER!"

Then the two started beating eachother up savagely.

The day went by, no deaths luckily.

Almost everyone was mad at eachother except Kim and Ron, who had now escaped the wrath of Moonbay and were pretty much living their own lives at the fort.

In the night, Pyrolite opened her eyes up and silently walked outside of the halls. Musn't be heard! She slinked through the halls, almost invisible. Right now she was wearing her black pants and white tanktop, and even though it was normally easy to spot the white, she made it unnoticed without really meaning to. Pyrolite finally came to the door of the library and saw no one was there, so she slunk in and viewed all the hand-written books as easy as it would be in day.

She really found nothing so she went up the slightly curved stairs to the upper level and there continued her book hunting. Then she came across something called Woodbane, and she pulled it out. Cosmos told her that the Woodbanes were a pack of foxes. How'd this get here?

She opened it and saw 'for the Ebony clan' written on it. She remembered that. Clan Ebony used to be the name of the clan, and the fort was named Fort Ebony. This was old.

She opened it up and scanned the contents. Soul-searching was the one that caught her eye. That was a method of finding your phenotype. She made a small squeaking noise of happiness and tucked it under her arms. She was sliding down the stair railing when she stopped.

Would Dr. Drakken be a little nicer if he knew that he was a shifter?

She knew a book just simply called, 'shifter' written by a physical shifter. She remembered that he was an owl (The guy that wrote it!) and Pyrolite set off looking before she came upon it and grabbed that, too. She then noticed that the fire was out, even though she had already been in the library for about twenty minutes already. She tip-toed out and almost made it out before she dropped the books because the covers were slippery. Pyrolite dove for the thicker book, 'Shifter' and caught that and waited for 'Woodbane' to smack against the stone floor. It never did and she looked up.

"I didn't follow you here!" she protested, instantly recognizing Dr. Drakken who was holding the Woodbane book. He just stared at her and she felt uncomfortable. "What are you doing here?"

"Just walking around. I was bored." he replied, and Pyrolite raised her eyebrows. "At about midnight?"

He shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." He took a look at the title and smiled. "Woodbane? What kind of name is that?"

"Nothing you'd be interested in." she mumbled and was handed back the book.

She tucked them under and arm and began to leave, when she turned around and hesitated for a minute. "Uh... I guess I'm sorry about... the sigil thing, I was kind of-" she started but Drakken interrupted. "Nosy. Stupid. Annoying and frustrating." She narrowed her eyes. "Yeah. I guess."

Pyrolite headed down the halls and knew that Dr. Drakken was watching her. She looked behind her and for a minute she stopped because his eyes flashed golden. She growled and continued on her way.

She plopped on her bed, not bothering to light a candle or anything, because she knew that her eyesight was good enough to read in pitch-black darkness to regular humans. She fbegan to open 'Woodbane,' but looked behind her at the doorway. She felt a little guilty. Even though she apologized, it was in an unfriendly way if that was possible. Like she didn't want to but was being forced to.

But then again he called her stupid! That hurts!

She evntually fell asleep.

In the morning, her room was nice and dark before something nudged her side. She grunted and rolled over, but the familiir procedure by Cosmos was held. He grabbed her by the leg and hung her in the air.

"During the night we were attacked again. So I'm sending a party to the Reguba clan to see why they want war I was asking if you wanted to be in the party."

Pyrolite smiled. "Shoy! It'll get me away from Dr. D!"

Cosmos dropped her. "You mad at him? I thought you liked him or something."

She shook her head. "Hell no!"

"Right..." he said with a smile and turned, but in the doorway faced her. "Oh, and the other nine shifters coming are going to be in the weaponry. Go there in atleast an hour, okay?"

Pyrolite gave him a thumbs up sign. Yay! She can do something fun! Without Dr. Drakken. Yipee! She got up and realized she was hungrier then normal. MUST RAID GREAT HALL!

Ron woke up from Rufus poking his face.

"I'm hungry!" The naked mole rat squeaked and Ron yawned. "Okay, Okay."

He picked Rufus up and walked out. He really wanted to take a shower but was a little afraid of what they were like. Kim said they weren't too different from regular showers, it's just that the pipes were wooden and she didn't know how the water acutally pumped. Ron headed down the halls and into the great hall to find a group of shifters that learned to like him. They were in a corner and the youngest of them waved to him. "Oy, Ron! Over here!" one of them shouted. He was about his age and was pretty nice to him even though Ron was just a 'regular' human. That shifter was named Kichen, and Ron was told he was a wolf shifter. (Dire wolf, to be exact!) "I'm starvin'!" Ron said, and Kichen pushed over some stuff for him already sensing he'd be hungry. "Guess what?" Kichen said happily and Ron shrugged amidst the scarfing of the food.

"I'm gonna be in a party! A hunting party sort of." Kichen announced and Ron gave him a questioning look. "For what?"

"To go to the Reguba clan."

"Who else is going?"

"Um... there is me, Desire, Velt, Cloud, Pyrolite, Thunder and I don't know the other four comin'."

Ron finally finished along with Rufus (in about record time... crikey!) and relaxed from his eating postion. "Pyrolite's going? She scares me." He said. "She can be a good friend once you get to know her." Kichen replied and then you-know-who ploppedright down in between them.

"Gewd mornin'!" She said happily (purposely spelled wrong) and winked at Kichen. "Can't wait to leave, huh?!"

"I can wait." He replied, giving Ron a sympathetic look. He blinked, not really getting it a regular person only stays a couple of weeks before they start REALLY freaking out. Pyrolite didn't get it either and pretty much leaped up dragging Kichen along with her. "We have to go to the weaponreeeeee!"

Ron smiled seeing her dragging poor Kichen through the Great hall and 'accidentally' slamming him into things like tables and other shifters.

Some of the older shifters in the room rolled their eyes as Pyrolite entered with a beaten Kichen behind her.

"Aye, Cosmos!" She greeted him and he just blinked. "We've been waiting at least an hour, you know..."

"IT WAS HIM!" She jabbed Kichen in the side of the head with her finger and the shark shifter just shook his head. "Right... well, you all know that the Reguba clan is pretty dangerous so you will need to fight back. So go ahead and pick something..." he boredly motioned to all the weapons laying around the room. All the youngest shifters sprang for the best ones, and alot ended up fighting for the 'all-power' ones.

Pyrolite tried to avoid the big crowd and just grabbed a spear. Everyone finally picked with a big deal of fighting.

"YOU WILL GO NOW!" Cosmos said and gave a salute, making almost everyone fall down.

"We just GO?" A shifter named Velt asked and the leader nodded.

"What do you want me to say? Go ahead and embark on your mystical quest?"

There were murmurs of agreement and they all headed outside.
Kim found Ron in the Great hall alone. She already knew he had a friend so she sat down next to him. "Where's your shifter friend?" she asked. "He went away." Ron replied.

"Where'd he go?" she asked again.

"He and some party of shifters went to get some info out of the Heg-oo-bah clan thing. Pyrolite was one of them." he informed her. "I wonder what they're doingi n Middleton right now..." Kim wondered.

In Middleton this very moment...

Jim and Tim stuck a rocket in the ground and ran for cover when it took off. Instead it blew the side of the house up.

Authoresses notes - Well that was short. My creativity went poof. Until next chapter....
