--RP-------------------------------------------------

Blackclaw stood at the edge of a twisted overhanging cliff, overlooking the charred landscape he had long grown used to. the land was littered with streams of lava and a very active volcano stood loomingly in the horizon. Black clouds bellowed forth from the large crater of the charred mountain, rolling intensely and spreading black and menacingly across the sky.

The ground trembled from its quake and streams of ash and fire ascended from it looking almost similar to the occasional falling rocks that pelted the earth from the sky.

"Ah... home." grumbled Blackclaw "Beautiful, miserable... home."

He looked about the land, turning his head from side to side to plot his next trek. The cliff that he stood upon was joined to a long line of mountains, their stone faces descended sharply forming almost a perfectly lined valley into the chaotic land. Blackclaw knew what he had to do. He had to find his pack. The pack that he, his father and his brother had departed from just days ago to scout for food. Only to find themselves a few days later entering the Great Valley.

Though food there was in abundance, and it would had been heaven for any sharptooth of Blackclaw's kind, he and his conrads found themselves outnumbered and overwhelmed by the leaf eaters. His father was killed, and his brother's fate remained painfully unknown.

Blackclaw sighed. He desired deeply to avenge his father's death and his brother's capture. But he needed help to do so.

He turned from the view of the charlands and made his way down a rocky path that lead steeply down the rigid mountain side.

"Revenge." he said to himself "Yes, sweet delicious revenge."

-----

ooc: I'll temporarily play the part of the gang for this post. This is just to help move the first post along.

Denton giggled as he joined the others in a game of treeseed toss, he swatted the large seed with his tail to Littlefoot who quickly did the same. Petrie and Ducky were trying to catch it from the two longnecks.

Petrie flew at the seed while it was in mid flight and knocked it from its next projectory and into a nearby wall where it landed on the ground and rolled to a complete halt. Petrie flew and landed atop the seed and gave a victory smile at the others

"PWNED!" He said with a laugh and the others gave him an odd look

"What does that mean?" asked Denton

"Beats me." responded Littlefoot

Petrie seemed confused by his victory chant himself, such a strange word "Me guess it means 'win'." He said with a half pondering look

"Well whatever it means, you're not the winner yet!" said a familiar voice. Cera then came dashing forward, her head tilted in a head butt position and geared towards the seed. Petrie gave a cry and flew out of the way as Cera's head came into contact with the seed, sending it flying fast through the air.

ooc: Now the gang can return to their rightful owners in the RP. thanks for your understanding =)

"It does sound like it means I win, but you have not won yet, no, no, no." Ducky said as she shook her head.  

Mim was over  near where she stayed.  She had just woken up and had slipped outside, going quietly so as not to awaken anyone who was nearby.  

Petrie continued to watch to see how the game would go and if he could help.  "Now Cera join, game change maybe." He said.

As the treeseed flew through the air thanks to Cera's headbutt, another flyer snatched it out of the air with his tail and said "You guys can't be serious...starting this game without me!" Cyrix then stepped out into the morning light and said "Now nephew, we won't have a repeat of last time will we?"

The flyer known as Longtail nodded his head at his uncle and said "Yes sir..." he then looked down and said "Hey Littlefoot catch!" As he whacked the seed with his tail and sent it towards the ground.

Littlefoot ran forward and whacked the seed with his tail, hitting it over towards Cera.  Ducky and Petrie cheered them on, for now.  

Mim stretched and went out to look for some morning food before looking for some water.  She'd look for the others later on, plenty of time.

Cyrix decided to sit down in the grass underneath him and watch the children play their game. After all it was the early morning, and nothing bad was going to happen anyway.

Mim finished her morning snack and went over to where some water was to get a drink.  Then she decided to go in search of where Cyrix and the others were.  She decided to head off for the closest likely spot and work from there.  She could always snack on the way if she got hungry again.

Vylor and Argaya were sitting on the stone in the Thundering Falls as usual.

"Do you sense something?" asked the golden longneck.

"Yes." Replied the silver longneck.

Longtail suddenly stopped as the seed bounced off his head...his face had this blank look to it before he said aloud "I'm hungry...can we take a break and go eat?" he asked the others around him.

The two longnecks then stood up, and walked to the path that led straight to the base of the Thundering Falls.

(They found it after Vylor broke his leg in the previous RP)

Cyrix upon hearing his nephew's comment stood up and said "I believe that is a very good idea!" He then gestured to the other children, as he continued speaking "I say we all go and find some food. Who would like to come along?"

"Well.. I am feeling kinda hungry." commented Denton, and he looked at his tmmy which made a low growling noise. He then looked up at the others with a blush

"My tummy talked" he said

Cyrix and Longtail both chuckled at Denton's statement as Longtail said Yeah I can hear mine talking too!"

Ducky nodded, as her stomach rumbled, "Mine talked too.  Stopping to eat is a good idea, yes it is." She said putting her hand on her stomach.  Littlefoot and Petrie nodded agreeing with what Ducky said.

Mim walked over to the area where she heard some familiar voices coming from.  She smiled as she walked into the area, waving to some of those and saying, "Hello, so here is where everyone is." She said.

Longtail grinned like a kid in a candy sotre as he shouted "Hi aunt Mim! We were just going to find breakfast! Wanna come with us?!" Cyrix chuckled and said "Good morning Mim, how are you?"

Ducky and Petrie wave to Mim, and along with Littlefoot say, "Good Morning Mim."

Min nods smiling , "Hello Cyrix, Longtail and everyone."  She looks over at Cyrix, "I'm doing fine." She looks between the two then the others, "I've not had breakfast yet really.  You folks decided where you want to go this morning?" She asks.

Cyrix smiled as he replied "No we haven't decided on where to eat yet...but I'm sure the children can choose a good spot." he looked over to Littlefoot and the others as he said "Well young ones any ideas?"

Mim looks at the kids present, "Do you young ones have a place that is your favorite place to eat breakfast?" She asked.

As Longtail thought about this he began to chew on the tip of his tail...as it was a bad habit he formed when he was little. Then an idea came to him!

Hey how about we eat near the Thundering Falls...the water is so much fun to look at!" he said with a childlike smile on his face.

Ducky and Petrie nodded.  "That is a good place, yes it is." Ducky said.

"That's a good idea, does everyone else wish to go there." Littlefoot asked as he looked from one to the other.  

Mim nodded, "Sounds good to me."

"Me thing that good idea, lets go." Petrie said.

Both Longtail and Cyrix had these ear to ear grins on there faces....as they looked at each other, and knew exactly what they were going to do once they arrived...and it wasn't going to be eating....even though both of them were quite possibly starving from the lack of a dinner last night thanks to Cyrix extra long training lesson!
