oh [open] water

[darkash75]

Suria the vanilla and chocolate mountain fae tread lighty on her pads as she moved through the woods to her favorite drinking place. her muscles coiled and rolled under her light pelt dispite her smaller stature. this area was a bit over flown on account of the wet season. the water rush much faster than usualy and hid deadly whirl pools to thoughs who were not experienced in crossing this area this time of year.

her blue orbs examined the water carefully, usually it was clear like a mirrior but not now. it was white with brown with dark green and blue mixtures. her brillient pink tongue escaped her maw as she lapped the brisk moving liquid. she was haunch down almost on her stomach. once her thirst was quenched she sleakly moved under a log bending her body like rubber as she came up. from there she lept a top the large stones that hold in the rushing water and moved up onto a larger branch that stretch across the open water. it was there that her body took shape to the branch and she laid there in and out of watching and naping. here and there when she would be awake a bird would catch her attention for awhile, but none came even remotely close though so she began to groom herself. starting with her chest she worked her way down to her legs then began to use her front paws to groom her face. once done she flop back and stared at the canipy. the sounds of cicatas and crickets filled the air with the sounds of many birds. every once in awhile you could hear the rust of tree branches and leaves as creatures passed by. all were over powered though by the rushing water below.

The massive cat made his way though the land seemingly without a sound as he got lost in his thoughts but as he made his way though the trees and such a new smell stuck his nose with such force that it made the big cat go reeling for a few seconds, he hadn't expected anyone to be out here after all these waters were some of the most dangerous during this time of year. the closer he got to the river the stronger the scent grew and then suddenly there she was, a female cougar at the river's edge, this made the male grin as he jumped down from his branch his eyes locked on the female. "You know these waters are very dangerous this time of year"he said as his ruff voice came out of his throat,

he chuckled softly as he moved closer and closer to the female, he was clearly unafraid of her as he bent down getting a drink from the refreshing river water, before looking back up at her,"so what is your name?"

a handsomely dark spotted pelt entered the area she currently laid in. almost immediately she rose to her paws debating on whether or not to leave. her sky blue eyes watched him intently as her tail curled and uncurled left to right. she moved down the branch she was perched on smoothly and closed in on him. this was risky the jaguar was definately bigger then her and probably more experienced in just about anything. he could probably kill her easily. it was obvious he had, had a rough life scars marked his pelt and face and blood stained his paws.

yes, the waters were certainly dangerous this time of year it was a good thing she could swim, but even the most experienced, strongest swimmers could be pulled under. as she walk toward him her delicate paws were silent. when she came to a halt mere feet away from him she relaxed herself by allowing her retractable claws the dig into the earth.

although there was a noticeble difference between the two kinds of cat. there particular kind shared a comman hunting trait. this would be to ambush from a tree and kill the prey with a quick skull crushing bite to the head. jaguars were deffinately better climbers like leapards, but being one of the smaller types of large cats cougars could be just as skilled. her kind reined in the north usually where four seasons exist, and his usually rain forests to the south.

he deffinately had the advantage here with the dense foliage, trees, and by just judging his scars he was older and knew the area better. she just hoped his intentions were friendly and not to just make life even more difficult this time of year. my name is Suria, and you are?her tones were soft, but that should be no judge of charracter.

[Regent]

The jaguar chuckled softly as he then glanced over at his new found company, as he rose back to a standing position it was made clear that he was taller then his would be foe and as if on cue his muscles rippled under his pelt, this was not to scare or impress the female even if he was interested in mating, which he was not she was not of his breed and mating with her would serve no purpose but to waste time and energy. Regent then yawned softly as a sign of him loosing interest but just as he went to walk away, the female spoke up which caught his attention once more.

"my name is Suria, and you are?"

he looked back at her and in his rough and scuffy voice the jaguar responded, "My name is..Regent and you better remember it because i shall not be repeating it again", without even looking away from her the big cat lowered his paw into the water and with a jerking motion he knocked a trout clear out of the water with the greatest of easy, instead of taking it for himself like he normally would of. he decided to slowly pad into the water, as he did so his pelt instantly got damp and stuck to his body but every once and awhile a rogue current would cause it to move away from his body, the powerful hunter had no problems keeping his head above the water as he just found a rock that was fully submerged and sank his claws into a crack to prevent himself from being overpowered by the rivers current.


"You can have the fish if you desire it" he said as he then closed his eyes, the big cat was seemingly unphased by the dangers that everyone knew about the river during this time of year, he looked down right peaceful with the water flowing freely through out his pelt, his whiskers skimming the surface of the water and his ears were still alert to ensure that he would hear any fool-hearted attack that came his way,even when this hunter was relaxing his guard was still as strong as ever, he didn't even seem worried about the smaller predator that he had just been speaking to, it was as if he were actually a nice feline but most animals even the researchers knew otherwise.

she flattened her radar dishes a little confused about the fish and raised them again a little alarmed that he turned to his amphibious side. sure she liked swimming too very few cats do but this water was quite swift. yes like any cat, fish was quite delishious to her but if he didnt want it and she wasnt hungry would put if back in. that way there would be more trout for another day. she turned to the flopping fish and gently lifted it into her jaws and set in the water.

her attention then returned to the jag. what could she say? she and him were typically solitary felines so chatting wasnt something she was use too. she lowered her structure to the ground amused by his strength. she focused her sky colored orbs on him intently just waiting to possibly learn something from the beast. her large beautiful tail moved back and forth on the soil brushing some vegitation and dirt with it. she wanted to play in away. if the wwate wasnt so intimidating this time of her she would jump in too. she knew she probably couldnt handle herself as well as he could but maybe one day she could.

the gold sun peaked through the canipy above it had been a few days since the rain had taken a break. she knew though the wet season was far from over. speaking softly she said so.. how many have you seen.. she waited a moment wondering if she should clarify what she meant and decide to life forms? like humans and other cats? she wasnt sure if he would hurt her, or if she should trust him, but if he at all seemed threatning it would take him a minute to come after her, for he would have to fight the current. maybe they could be friends or good acqaintences?

[Regent]

"so.. how many have you seen.. life forms? like humans and other cats?"

This kind of took the hunter by surprise, why would she care for the others if there was no real point in doing so?, after all the less predators the more food there would be to go around, then though there was plenty anyway regent always hated sharing when it could be avoided but the female's question had really got him thinking, as he smirked at her before diving under the already dangerous water, and soon his form disappeared completely under the cover of the rushing water and water-plant life. but it was not long before she would know his where-abouts, as he choose to resurface right in front of her his claws sinking into the shore both above and below the water, anchoring the big cat in place and no matter how much the current tried he would not be moved. "Aye i have seen plenty,but before i will tell you. you must tell me why this concerns you my dear" the male said with a hearty laugh following the question. it was clear that he couldn't care less about anyones safety but his own. this is how regent has lived and he was determined to keep it that way for as long as he possibly could.

The big cat then pulled himself out of the river, water dripping from his massive frame as he then shook out his pelt, soaking the ground around him as if this place belonged to him, it most likely did but regent highly doubted that his new found 'friend' would know of this,"you know.. we are one you and i.. we are like the earth and sky.. one family under the sun",, he had basically called her the same as him and if she knew anything about him or his past then he was sure that she would be appalled by that statement, seeing how regent would kill just about anything and anyone to get what he desired even if it meant killing a fellow jaguar he did not care, all he saw was that someone was in his way and that would not do!, he always got what he wanted and no one was going to deny him or they would be punished, and rarely did anyone ever survive one of his punishments, but as stated before regent is a rebel most would say but he chooses to live for himself.

as he emerged infront of her she stepped back. she allowed his remark and laugh to roll off her shoulder. that must be how he is, intemidating constantly she smirked to herself as she turned his back to him and coiled herself around a rock then leapped a top it. i dont know for future purposes i suppose although we are the solitary type, it gets to me and i often feel lonely. the front of her frame lowered and she sharpened her talons on the granite stone.

his remark about being one caught her off guard wondering what he meant. standing once more she looked down at him. then said whats that suppose to mean? like do you mean we are both cats and although i lack spots now i did aquire them at one point in my life like many other cats in the same family or did you mean that if i died my flesh would turn to soil, to feed your prey, that feeds you? she was beginning to question her situation with this Regent fellow. her blue orbs continue to focus on him wondering if the offer of the fish was meant to be a last meal or something. she slinked down from the stone dispite her thoughts. she then continued to go and rub a tree then coiled around that to face him again then asked why do so many scars grace you figure?

[Regent]

"i dont know for future purposes i suppose although we are the solitary type, it gets to me and i often feel lonely"

"You'll get use to it, heavens know i have"This subject seemed to be one that the hunter had already been though many times before, just by his response, it was a mixture of heartless and of a caring tone. was this big cat as heartless as his pelt and facial expression and fearsome reputation led people to believe? or perhaps was he shielding himself from something more personal?..either way it was clear that he was not exactly friendly or interested in being so with anyone. regent sent his would be friend a not so friendly glare to make sure she got the message about not to push that subject any further or there would be conquences to contend with.

"whats that suppose to mean? like do you mean we are both cats and although i lack spots now i did aquire them at one point in my life like many other cats in the same family or did you mean that if i died my flesh would turn to soil, to feed your prey, that feeds you?"

This made the massive jaguar start to laugh as he walked over to a near by tree, sinking his claws into its bark before ripping down tearing the bark from the tree itself as he then retracted his claws and sunk them back into the tree before climbing up onto a branch this time. As he looked down at her a scary grin on his maw but he decided to respond. "you shall know soon enough", as he went to pad off through the trees her voice reached his ears once more. why do so many scars grace you figure?, but by this time he had grown tired of her questions as he snapped back at her. " if you were smart you'd mind your own business"

[darkash75]

you will know soon enough?
was that a threat? hopefully not. she watched as he went to enter the forest, and how he last question struct a nerve so she said im sorry... she was still a bit naive because she was still young and didnt have much experience but she still wanted to ask much more. she wondered if she should follow him so she wasnt lonely or if that would be suicide. she step forth wanting to but her auds lowered a bit, and she went in the opposite direction to head up hill to the source of the rapids. she wondered if he was just going to look around and was coming back or if he was truely leaving.

her tail was curled high to signify she was not out hunting. this was so the other creatures could see her and not get so alarmed, but they were already alarmed. they were squeeling, screaming, and calling out to one another. was it really hers or the jaguars fault orwas something else going on.

a boom of thunder rumbled through out the lands. the rain was starting up again. a few flashes of lightning lit up the darkening sky and things grew silent except of the rush of falling rain and flowing water with the ocasional rumble of thunder. the water way she had been traveling on was growning wider and wilder by the minute it seemed. she was heading for smoother waters but the weather changed so suddenly it was all white water. making a last attempt to stay dry she climbed up a tree and waited.

[Regent]

The male sighed abit as he turned and looked at the female cougar and sort of rolled his eyes before laying down on the branch.

ooc: Crappy post but my muse is gone.

[darkash75]

about another hour passed and the rain finally calmed to a sprinkle.a good section of where she walked before was now covered in water. down stream she could just barely make out the jaguars tail hanging from the branches. she stood and shook the water from her pelt and called out to him if you need company and dont mind it being a cougar you more then welcome to join me

making her way down the tree rather clumbsly she landed in a small pool shelded by a large fallen tree. from there she lept up out of the water and started heading for the water fall up river.
