"Stealth, aye." Zeph said, appearing out of thin air in front of her and holding up his hands in a calming gesture. "But no treachery. Put the knife away," he said, sounding amused, though his eyes were serious. "I simply felt it would be better to speak without shouting across the forest. Especially with enemies about."

((Forest ... eep! I misread and thought they were still in the tunnel. Ah, well...))
"Concealing your visual approach would indicate treachery," said Stardrana, not putting away the knife. "Can you tell me where I am? One moment I was exploring the tunnels attached to my mother's cave, and the next I stepped out into this forest. I've never seen this much plant life in a given place. It is unnatural."

"And what would pointing a knife at me, even though I am clearly unarmed and have made no move to hurt you indicate?" Zeph asked, smirking. "I concealed my approach because, as I mentioned, these woods are full of people I would rather not run into. To answer your question, you are just outside of the city of Herand"

Izzy had followed Zeph and is now listening to the exchange. She prepares one of her own knives to throw at Stardrana's in case something happened.

"I am not pointing this knife at you, I am pointing it at the ground," said Stardrana, rolling her eyes. "Perhaps you aren't a threat, and I see that you are unarmed, but you are also capable of changing how things appear. Perhaps you have a weapon I cannot see. I would rather not risk that, so I hold my weapon at the ready. Herand? I have never heard of such a place."

"True," Zeph shrugged. "For all you know, I am not even here, and this," he waved his hand at himself, "Is merely an illusion. Or all of this, for that matter," he added, waving a hand at the forest around them. "You'll have to take me at my word. As I said before, I mean you no ill intent. Herand is the capital city of Halum. You have not heard of them?"

"Unless your illusion also creates sound, smell, and substance, I doubt it, for I heard your footsteps, smell your strange scent - and the other person hiding in that bush there - and have touched these trees," said Stardrana. "Still, it would explain the strangeness of this place. No, I have not heard of Halum, and I have heard of many places. I especially have not heard of a forest like this one so close to my mother's cave."

Izzy smirks slightly and lowers the knife, but doesn't put it up. Her foot moves and she crushes a leaf.

"And I'm flattered that our observer fears me enough to be hiding in the bushes," Stardrana adds, raising an eyebrow at the crunch of the leaf.

((nice))
Nicholas jumps from the trees and lands on Zeph's shoulders causing him to fall over. His tail flicked around as he stood back up "You my friend are not very centered" He then turned to the new comer "Hello stranger, I am Nicholas of the northern Tiger tribe" He then offered his clawed hand

Stardrana shifts her knife to the other hand and accepts the offered handshake. "My name is Stardrana," she replies. "So you're the cat I smelled. What manner of man are you?"

Zeph scrambled to his feet, rubbing his left shoulder. "I wasn't execting you to jump me." he told Nicholas, laughing slightly.

Nicholas turned to Zeph "My Grand chef always said to expect the predicable and unpredictable." He then turned back to Stardrana "Humans call my kind my many names, But the best that describes us is Tigerman or Tigan" He then call back "Izzy come meet our new friend, like you she likes knifes"

"I do not like knives," said Stardrana. "I like to live. This knife, perhaps, holds a special place in my heart, for it belonged to my mother, but in general, I only like knives in that they preserve my life, whether by slaying my enemies or by providing me with food. Tigermen. This land is very different than my own."

Nicholas "so i guess it's safe to say that since you like to live you like knifes no? Since knifes keep ya fed and ya safe?" He then stomped his foot, causing the ground to glow "this is my first time down from the mountains of the north. And i have to say i luve the forest"

Zeph shrugs and looks around. "Not bad, is it?"

"Knives also kill, causing regrets," said Stardrana. "It is dangerous to love a weapon. Fire must be controlled." She took a deep breath. "The dampness in this air is almost suffocating, as is the barrage of scents. Still, the amount of color and life is beautiful to look upon, raw as a chest of uncut gems."

Stardrana glanced over her shoulder as she finally slid her knife back into its sheath. "My band will worry about me if I don't return..."

"I thought you said you left them in a cave?" Nicholas scratchs hus head "we are in a forest so i would assume they are no where near us"

((okay. I guess I'll go)) Nicholas titled his ears back as he though. "Well you could voice them an air letter" he dug into his bag and pulled out a blue gem "just tell it who you want to send your voice to, then say what you want to say" he then handed her the gem

Stardrana's eyes widened almost greedily as she took the gem and sniffed it. "It's sweeter than most gems," she whispered. After a moment of consideration, she said, "Aoril. I'm safe, but have found my way to a strange place that isn't desert. I have deemed it wisest to explore and figure out where I am, and perhaps make contact with any dragons or Hidden that might be here. I shall return when I can. Send Mother my love. I'm sending you this message with a strange, but very beautiful gem, so don't be alarmed at the sound of my voice."
As she handed the gem back to Nicholas, she added, "This gem must have been gorgeous before it was cut."

((You know i forgot to ask MistyofGreenshire and rayray if they wanted to continue. But like no one has been on)) Nicholas backed up "if i touch it then your voice will go away. Crush the gem in your hand"

Stardrana raised an eyebrow, but then shrugged as she did as she was told. "Now what?" she asked. "Do I eat it?"

Blue steam rose from Stardrana's hand along with her voice. Nicholas laughed a little "I don't think you can, after crushing it the gem turns into that blue mist and goes to whoever you told it to"

"Oh," whispered Stardrana, watching the mist with an awe-like expression as she batted a hand through it. Then she shook herself, remembering her audience, and drew herself to her full height and sternness. "And you're sure that this message will reach Aoril?"
