All Welcome! The spirit guide journey had taken him longer than expected. Seclusion had not suited the male and living outside Aniwaya even less so. For a week straight he had stayed alone in Ethereal Eclipse, cursing the snow and slush and his lack of a proper den until moving on through the Shattered Coast and finally into Halifax. It was there in one of the many homes on the outskirt of the city he had found her. Sitting calmly on the stoop, her tail flicking easily back and forth and one paw raised, rubbing clean her tiny face. Surprised Leland recalled his conversation with Haven, his confession that if not a canine he wished to be feline, although he had never seen the once domestic cat alive. Leland had not thought they still existed in these lands, having moved on to warmer climates and away from the large canine predators that could so easily hunt them down. Yet here she was, and she smiled at him slyly. “It took you long enough to find me Leland” The sweet voice mewed up at him, a low purr followed. The mismatched eyes widened at the tiny creature, small enough to fit in his open palm. "I didn’t expect..." The husky stammered and then felt foolish. He was such an oddity, a remnant of the human world. His kind had been once domesticated. Why not his spirit guide then? He had been wrong to expect a hawk or a horse like those of the other tribe members. So she was not of the flesh, but his spirit guide. His journey come to an end. The multi-colored kitten stood, stretched lazily and strode over to him, looking up as if to ask “where now boss?” So he had returned home that day, and as he strode into Aniwaya, silently padding after him the calico kitten kept up effortlessly, her tiny tail stretched up towards the sky and bent just at the very tip. The sun beat down upon the two and finally coming near the horse barn Leland stopped to sit a while and rest, her eyes dancing over the kitten and her own odd colored eyes, green and blue. Letting out a sigh he smiled at the cat, Pixie as she had introduced herself, and leaned back against the barn, listening to the horses within. "Well, this is home." - Catherine - 02-21-2009 [html]

All Welcome! Her voice caused Leland to lift his head, bi-colored eyes meeting the emerald eyes of the female. "Why, hey thar Catherine!" The male grinned, forgetting momentarily his strange new acquaintance, that is until Catherine mentioned the tiny kitten herself. Turning his eyes back to the kitten he sighed, knowing this was an introduction he would have to make many times in the future. Unlike many spirit guides Pixie had no qualms about showing herself to anyone and everyone, it seemed almost that she fed off the attention. Which was silly, since she was suppose to be wise and above it all. Nodding, Leland chuckled softly, hoping that not too much attention would be paid to his spirit guide. "Why yes... this is Pixie." A tiny kitten chirp met Catherine and Pixie stood and turned herself in a circle as if to show off. Rolling his eyes, Leland looked back up to the female. "Yes, I felt it was time an’ well, here she is. My spirit guide!" The male was pleased to hear Catherine too had found her spirit guide, it seemed that the outsiders and newcomers were slowly getting acclimated to the pack. About to ask what sort of animal Catherine had stumbled across, Leland quickly got his answer as the snake appeared, coiling it’s self about the female’s arm. Eyes widened and then the male calmed quickly, realizing what the snake was before Catherine introduced it. Yet Pixie, for supposedly being a wise spirit guide, did not seem convinced. With a small hiss and a few quick leaps the calico creature found refuge atop Leland’s head and the husky snorted, but made no move to remove her. "It’s nice to meet ya Saw... excuse her, if ya don’t mind" Playfully Leland swatted at the forever young kitten and was met only with a small bite to his palm. "Argh..." - Catherine - 02-28-2009 [html]

All Welcome! Leland couldn’t help but smile at the laughter emitting form Catherine and her spirit guide. Pixie too seemed appreciative of the humor they found in her actions, for her hiss of fear soon turned to purrs of pleasure, bi-colored eyes peering down at Leland’s hand as he inspected it himself. "Nah, it’s okay..." And it was. The bite of the kitten had surprised him more than it had hurt. She had not broken the skin, Leland knew she could have but after all she was his spirit guide. She would make a poor one if she truly did cause him harm, her purpose being to keep him on the right path. Clumsy the kitten climbed down from her perch atop his head, eyes staying glued to the snake. Leland knew if she wished she could easily make it so she was not visible to any but him, yet although she seemed weary of strangers she was not shy. Pixie liked attention, that was clear. Leland did too, so it was unsurprising. Perhaps there was more to his spirit guide business than Leland realized. He would have to put more thought into. "Ah, so Catherine, how er ya gettin’ along with Saw then? How long has it been since ya found him?” For Leland it was still the first day, and it was all too new to him. Unbelievable almost. He knew that if he told his brothers back home about the spirit guides they would laugh, call him crazy. Sometimes he almost felt he was. - Catherine - 03-06-2009 [html]

All Welcome! Pixie continued to stare at the snake, bright eyes unwavering. Easily she kneaded the legs of Leland without breaking her concentration, as if her and the snake were communicating by sight alone. Leland watched them, noting the intense gaze of the mamba as well. The two of them made him uneasily, and it was nearly impossible to ignore it. "Pixie..." It was nearly a whisper, but the kitten merely fattened her ears in response as if to say “I’m busy, leave me alone...” and continued her staring match. Sighing helplessly he turned back to Catherine, nodding at her explanation of how she found the creature. Spirit Guides were funny in the different ways they seemed to present themselves. Leland wondered if perhaps they put much thought into presenting themselves, or maybe, like the Aniwaya tribe, the spirit guides were searching for their own creatures on earth to bond with. When they appeared for the first time it was only because both beings were ready to be united. Maybe that was how it worked. He would have to ask Dawali. Perking his ears, he smiled down at the cat. "Oh, well... I jus’ found her taday actually..." It had not even been a full twenty-four hours with the cats and already he knew she would be a handful for him. - Catherine - 03-13-2009 [html]

This is dated before our other thread, yeah? So Catherine and him haven’t seen the horses together yet. Leland shook his head, still aware of the intense staring between the two spirit animals. It was hard to concentrate on Catherine’s questions with Pixie’s and Saw’s face off, but he tried to give her his full attention. "Nothin’ much, gonna get ready to build my house soon I think. Once it warms up." He thought about that a lot, not so much about the horse Catherine was asking about. "No, no… no horse yet… you?" His bi-colored eyes managed to stay glued to Catherine’s, forgetting the strange behavior of his kitten for the moment. Yet Pixie gave Catherine no time to answer the question before she bolted off of Leland’s lap. Her body wound up like a spring and then sent her sailing through the air with speed and grace, and it seemed she was heading right towards’ Saw. Leland cringed, waiting for the collision between snake and kitten, but it did not come. Leland did not know how Pixie missed Saw and Catherine, though it had been her intention all along, but she landed easily on the side of them and disappeared quickly out of sight. Leland was baffled and for a long time could say nothing, this kitten was just too much for him. Finally weakly, he turned to Catherine. "I don’ know what’s gotten inta her." - Catherine - 03-20-2009 [html]
