Galaxis

The Guardian flicked her gaze to the other Sylvorpa, still yet to answer his Riddle, she heard a sound.. like soft sighing emitting from him. Almost as if he'd heard her thoughts, Mud answered his Riddle. "That is correct." She purred, gliding on the chilling breeze to stand before him, looking over her shoulder too Apraxis who nodded in return, she spoke.

"In the midst of the fog lies something of value, a sparkling Gem. The colours swirling through the center match that of your own. For you to pass on you must bring this Relic back to us. Neko will be your guide, be wise about this journey.. where your Gem lies is a place of toil and torment.. creatures lurking will not be as they seem." As her words trailed on the blowing breeze she slid back to her mate, awaiting the departures of the Sylvorpa and the Riddles of the others.



Neko swallowed hard, a jolt of fear sprang through his mind. He looked up to the pair and asked, "Will it hurt?" He looked at his comrades feeling a little silly for asking, but he was about to be shrunk and split into 3 of himself.. possibly more. He half smiled glancing back to them.


"Only if you flinch.." Apraxis laughed at his own pun, shrugging off the annoyed look resonating from his partner. A large, dusty blue/black cloud filled with thousands of tiny, glittering, balls of light swirled around Neko. It was almost as if a part of the sky had come to take him away. As the cloud began to settle and fade Neko was slumped on the ground, either side of him stood miniature versions of the Ryori. Both looking at the crowd with replica tilted heads and looks of confusion.

"You may leave when you are ready. Be warned, you may not come back."

(Also I fixed the name hiccup, it's cause you're both Sylvorpa with 3 lettered names, very confusing lmao)

@All

Mud smiled as he listened to Galaxis explaining what he was to do, and his eyes gleamed with excitement. Then he saw Neko looking at him with the same series look as he always had. He chuckled, to see such an expression on such a small Ryori seemed hilarious. He then looked around him at his companions. They looked scared but why would they be scared? "Well," He said. "I am ready to go get this awesome jewel... I mean, dull relic." He looked at Nebula, Bum, and then the Griffi and Aeridini who's names he didn't know. "You'd best get your riddles and relics soon guys. Remember, there's this whole entire world dying thingy going on."

He looked at his mini Neko. "Do we get to do more teleporting to go to this place? And since you're mini can I carry you? I've always wanted a pet about your size."

Bum nodded,"Thank you." He turned to the mini Neko beside him,"Ready?"
(once he heards Neko's anwser)
Bum started walking towards the southern side of the portal. The black clouds swirled overhead as acid rain rained down, though, it didn't hurt him. The blue grass seemed to scream in his ears. The very dark sky looked like it would in a horror story. He looked towards the mini Neko for guidance. He heard growled from behind the portal in the forest, "Ok, I am.. ready." He started running into the forest and looked behind him. There were giant, grey, mushrooms with big blood red spots. One of the shrooms got up and looked into Bum's eyes. It seemed to whisper, "You.. should..turn..back.."

The mini Neko sat on Bum's head as he started slowing. The tiny, non-see-able Neko jumped off his head. Bum sat down and rested. "I need food." He started walking towards a berry bush and sniffed the berries. They were blue with a bit of purple."I wonder if these are safe..." Bum looked around, there was a puddle of galaxy. He bend down his head and licked up a little."This is very good.."

(Once Little Neko replies I will add more)

(The pudde looks like this, only with stars and a puddle)

(Perfectly ready.)

Apraxis

The Ryori glanced over too the Aeridini, who looked back at him expectantly. Galaxis nodded and Apraxis approached him.

Riddle: I travel all over the world, but always stay in my corner. What am I?

(No use of the internet please! If you cannot answer and want another say, 'move on' if you cannot answer that you will have too face two tasks.)

@Luxa


Neko grinned stupidly as Mud asked if he could be carried. "I guess these legs aren't made for walking.." He chuckled too himself as he rode the breeze too land upon the Sylvorpas back. "I think teleporting is a no go, looks like we're running or walking, I believe we must head North." The apparition of the Ryori shimmered in and out of focus as the wind blew stronger.


@IiPurePoison

Neko felt confused as he struggled to cling to the eager Sylvorpas head. The thing's they passed and the puddle Bum had stumbled upon left him feeling insecure about where they were and the nonchalant way in which he addressed his surroundings. "Bum you must be careful about what you touch in this forest. Thing's may not be as they appear.. I don't think that just applied to where Mud had to go. This place doesn't feel safe, keep your wits about you. Be smart about where you step and what you touch.." Neko wasn't sure how he could help if something went wrong, but he hoped Bum would make it to his Gem soon.

(You guys can write for Nekos miniatures to a certain degree just to get you back a little quicker so we can move on ^^*)

(Ok that will make it faster.)

"Yes Neko." he bowed his head and kept going. He turned his head back and saw the puddle has turned to a pool of blood. Bum spit out the last of the blood water from his mouth. The forest started to thicken. He must be nearing the gem. He saw many rocks, tall grasses, and many many trees. He pushed his way through a bush and saw a big stone. As he neared the rock he heard a growl as a Lighira jumped out followed by 2 others. The leader was a strong looking male. The other 2 lionesses. One was blended in with the environment,black underbelly, blushish purpleish topcoat. "Do you want to be here?" the leader growled.

Maze tilted her head. "A stamp?"

@ Immortallight

"All right then," Said Mud. "Let's get this show on the road." He started padding along towards the north. Almost as soon as the others were out of sight it got chilly, and he started shivering. His back was warmer than the rest of him because there was a little Ryori sitting up there, and he wondered how real the mini Neko was. He thought he saw something flicker out of the corner of his eye but when he looked there was nothing there. Then all of a sudden a warmth started in his chest, and spread through his body till he wasn't cold anymore. Mist started appearing from the ground and rising, and he thought he saw shapes in the fog. Out of the gloom stepped a beautiful winged Lupora


"Welcome, scared traveler, to our humble forest," She said in a purring voice. "Oh this is your forest," Said Mud. "Well miss, I am not exactly scared, and if this is your forest you might want to fix it up a bit. The trees look black, you might want to paint them a better color, like your beautiful coat." The Lupora pulled back her gums from over her teeth, reveling that they too glowed like her coat. "Insolence!" She growled. "You should be careful what you say, you never know who is an enemy or who is a friend." Mud ducked his head, taking comfort in Neko's presence. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sound offensive. I do have somewhere to be though, so I shall be on my and out of your forest as soon as possible Miss." With a sudden growl the Lupora sprang at him, and she glided through him then vanished.



The fog rose even higher, and sounds started to filter through. "Well," He said to Neko. "If you hold on tightly I think the fog is causing hallucinations, like a fogger fish I once saw. I'm going to see if I can waft it away with my wings." Mud unfolded his wings from his sides and started beating them lightly enough that he stayed on the ground, and rolls of fog started moving away from them. "Yes! Let's pick up the pace," He said. "Even though you are riding and and i'm the only one doing the walking.." He started using his wings to making little glides, bounding through the fog until he reached a clearing, where the fog and trees would not enter.
"Neko," He spoke in a quiet voice. "Is this where the Jewel should be? Do I have to go into this place where the trees will not go"


(If you have ever watched princess Mononoke then imagine the Lupora speaking the same way as the wolf mom)
