Word Count → 876 :: I got up that thread for us. Weird starter, I know. Panda needs some spiritual threads though. When I refer to Venom as a "halfing" it's because of his spiritual race, not because he's in his halfing form(secui), it's kinda how Panda is a Shaman, Venom is a Halfing.. It's hard to explain. Just go with it. xD Venom is in his Optime form, as is Panda.

And as I torture and kill,
The ones who followed him

The breeze pushed against the hammock and the luperci that laid within it. The hurricane created a clear pathway where she could hang it and still be able to see the stars, so she took advantage of that, and tonight, that's what she did. It'd been some time since she was able to just and look at the stars, and to watch them, gaze at them and daydream, or go into some sort of meditative state if she could relax enough. Her new friend, Xanderlend, thought differently of her being able to be alone outside tonight, and even Venom had told her to come inside a few times. Once she put up the bubble around herself and Xan, that was the end of the conversation though. It took him some time to decide that he would just join her though. He had to get his comfy pelts and he also needed to get his charms so that Panda's bubble would accept him rather than reject him.

Venom came lumbering out of the temple with pelts in hand. He placed one on the floor next to the woman's hammock for the colt, who knew that's who it was for, and then he crawled into the hammock with her. The hammock ropes were strong enough to hold both of them, and they were high ehough off the ground to not be dragging, so Panda got comfortable with him but she still looked up at the stars through the bare trees that would normally have had some sort of leaf on them. Panda sighed as Venom burst her bubble that she had placed up, and within seconds the bubble was reformed around herself, Venom and Xander. Panda hummed lightly as Venom wrapped his arms around her, and she comfortably snuggled into his chest. Her eyes still looked up at the sky though, along with Venom's own eyes, and the two sat there for some time, just sitting in silence as they gazed that the map of the sky. They each were thinking, and their thoughts seemed to be so different, yet the same all at the same time.

What changed so suddenly for us? asked the Council Guard as he gazed down at his toes for a moment and the sighed. Weren't they supposed to be leaving Anathema? Things kept changing and the two taurus' felt weird about the change. Sure, they were now at the top of the ranking system in the pack, but things were still weird to him. Maybe it was time for them to start their mission in Anathema. It was just that....sometimes they didn't know what exactly their mission was. Panda looked to the stars, and the moon for the answers. She looked to the red pouch that was wedged between the two stomachs of the soulmates. She opened the pouch and took out her faithful tarot cards. Whoa, it's been a long time since those have seen the light of the night. purred the Italian as he looked at the very energized tarot card deck that seemed to just glow in the moonlight. I know right? I've been keepin 'em safe, 'Cause ya know, once people see that they are out, their energies go straight to it. The cards are so sensitive to others. It's time for them to be used though, I mean, you see the way they are glowing tonight. the woman purred back to the male as she started to shuffle the cards with skillful hands.

After you, can I use them? asked the halfing to the shaman. The shaman nodded her head to her soulmate and she continued to shuffle, and as she shuffled, she thought of a question. The question she thought of was focused on with such an intensity that Venom could see the energy of the shaman coming from her fingers and filtering into the cards, until a certain cardd began to glow, and once it did, Panda finished shuffling the cards to where the glowing one was on the top. Panda could not see this energy so well, but the Halfing, Venom, was able to naturally see this. His eyes were trained to be slightly more acute than Panda's. It'd been like this for some time now. It was because part of Venom's natural ability was to see the mingling energies of others, as well as animals, and even objects sometimes. It took a moment for Panda to pick the card, but she did, and she flipped it.

Two of cups? spoke the woman as she looked at the card. The two? Really? What does it mean? asked the halfing to the shaman. Commitment. Love between two individuals, a flow of energy. Spiritual practices. It's interesting that this showed up, it is. Panda spoke to the male and then nuzzled him. She then put the card back and cut the deck. It released her energy from the deck and then she handed it to Venom. He started to shuffle the deck, and think of a question. Panda watched him silently. Xander nickered softly and pricked his ears, watching to see if anyone dare disturb the Malpas and her soulmate.

Roaming Anathema’s territory under the starlit night wasn’t exactly a frequent hobby of his. At this point he’d rather be outside than in his den trying to sleep. He just couldn’t, nightmares continued to haunt him. Why did he feel this way? Axelle didn’t even get hurt, or at least not as badly as him. He got the archer in time, she was alive and well. But in his subconscious she died, every single time; this was messing with him bad enough that he didn’t feel like himself, his determination and drive were lacking.

The huskadore found himself making his way through the woods away from the caverns. Coming into a small clearing he looked up to the large structure. The temple of Helios, he never came here. Who could lie though, for whatever reason he felt drawn to it like he needed to be there. Rarely did the male act on gut feelings like this, but why not be different every once in a while. The closer the Rakeeb moved to the temple he could hear the distinctive nickering of a horse. The smell in the air was the first giveaway to who was near. Mido stopped far enough away from the equine so he wouldn’t spook it. Panda’s scent in particular to the mutt was unique next to no one else. Looking past the elegant creature he searched for her. He’d forgotten that the two of them moved out of the caves and into the temple. Once his eyes finally adjust to his minimum threshold of light he could see them hanging together in the hammock.

Hello Panda. He called out. This was their home now, and courtesy would be to not barge in on them unless he was otherwise welcomed, Rakeeb or not. How are you two? As he didn’t often see them he figured he’d ask, he was able to put aside his troubled mental state to be chummy with a couple of friends.
