Hehe chaos time. Private for Jacinto. Powerplay of Jacinto, I hope it's alright.

The cold bit at the caramel pelt of the young female, Ky'allu sat at her shoulder, quiet for the moment as they trio walked. Despite the weight of the large eagle, Omni was able to grasp Jacinto's hand in her own as they walked, the day's plan included a hunt; Jacinto wanted to get a higher rank, it was only right to do some training. A longbow was strapped to her lean cloaked back, just a little in the way of her newest companion. Turning her head, Omni gave a small smile to Jacinto, her mate. The one she'd have to be faithful to for the rest of their time together. The fresh tattoos on both of their wrists were vibrant with color, symbols of the bond they had shared.

"I love you." Was all the female could murmur to the Lykoi male beside her. Finally, Ky'allu made a low sound similar to laughing. "Not this mushy stuff again, it's bad enough at home when you lay with eachother...All the mush talk." Chuckling and reaching a hand up, Omni softly said "Only with Ky'allu. You are the most interesting bird I've met." She patted the bi-toned wing of the bird and stopped soon. "Now. This is a great place, we can practice our shooting here. Ky'allu, stay out of our firing range. You're our eye in the sky, and we need you.

The bow was taken off of her back, the arrows set out for his choosing. Looking at Jacinto, she caught his amazing orange eyes. She pulled back the string of the bow, showing him how he should hold himself, handing the now over, she let him hold it up to aim and pull the empty string back. With gentle hands she showed him the correct stances. Ky'allu had gotten rather bored of this, clearly there was nothing in it for him. He took to the sky on powerful wings, to slowly glide over their heads. He noticed something strange, it appeared as if there was some kind of water quite a few feet away, but made no ruckus believing that his masters wouldn't go that far. Soon enough it was time to bag some grub, a deer was seen looking for any sort of greenery in the baren winterland. With quiet careful steps, Omni moved forward, not expecting Jacinto to do the same, bow already in hand. Meanwhile, in the skies Ky'allu was watching, noticing that his mistress was moving closer yet to the body of water. The magnificent bird made high keening sounds of warning, swooping slightly to get Omni to move away from the danger. Yet she didn't listen.

Omni heard the loud screeching siren of her bird, but judged it as Ky'allu scouting the prey. She was slowly moving out onto the ice, small creaks of pressure upon the thinnish sheet of frozen water signalled that this clearly was hazardous, in one shocking second it was chaos. Her feet one after another fell in, dragging her body into the freezing river. There was definately a current, and it dragged her under. Her breaths were panicked and with out a doubt limited. She was pulled under the ice, stiff and cold. She had no time to call out to her mate, no time to notice that thankfully her eagle was watching from the sky. Ky'allu saw it, his large lemon eyes widening as he quickly swooped down to the other two-leg. "Go! Go! She's been pulled under!"

I powerplayed too, but we already discussed the coming back to the mansion part.

It had been a leisurely day, relaxing and having as little to do as possible. He had made sure that Omni was happy, especially by letting her keep the large eagle. Apparently the big bird's name was Ky'allu, something he never heard much of before. Omni wanted and insisted on taking him with her to hunt, to teach him a few tricks. At first the Lykoi was wary, the days were not growing warmer and unknown hazards beneath the snow were dangerous. So he went, to protect the one woman he had truly love and wished to linger around with. He had bundled the both of them up, concerned for their health and ways to prevent sickness. The cold of the air was enough to take and freeze the breath of an innocent being. Ky'allu seemed like a heavy bird, with huge sharp talons. Yet the Lykoi
didn't quite see why she let it sit atop her shoulders. There was no ill feelings for the aerodynamic creature, just slight distrust over the personality of it. He felt Omni's hand grip his own, immediately he felt warm and fuzzy inside, and was instinctively replying "I love you too." The large eagle was complaining about their love, he simply shook his head while Omni laughed, touching the long black and white feathers of the uncommon avian.

They all stopped, he was taught the basics of now wielding, holding the weapon and having the right stature and pose to make a clear shot. For a while they practiced, Omni gently criticizing his work, and Jacinto trying harder to succeed. After his mate was happy with his progress, it wasn't too long before they had spotted some prey. Omni crept out to get closer, to get a clear and fatal shot. Ky'allu was making a racket in the skies, for what reason Jacinto didn't know. Realization hit the hybrid, at the wrong time though. His mate was sucked under the ice from a rapid current, bounding as fast as he possibly could, Jacinto jumped into the water. The current was difficult to fight through, to move his freezing legs and hope that she was still alive. He was strong enough to clear the current and leap from the subzero waters, only to sprint downstream on two legs. She was caught in an ice drift, her face seemed to be semi under the water. Panic flooded the Lykoi, and he bludgeoned with a rock at the ice to reach her. Ky'allu seemed to soar above, terrified of what was happening. Soon he was able to pull her sodden body from the water, unconscious. He pulled her up onto the thickened ice on the shore, pumping the water from her chest. Getting misty eyes from the sight he now saw. She seemed so broken, but she had a heartbeat still. She no longer coughed but breathed gently as he listened against her chest. "No...Wake up. Please! Wake up!" He told himself that she would, that she would be laughing about this later. The tall lanky hybrid pulled her up from where she lay, and carry her petite body back towards the Mansion. His pace quicker than usual.

Once they reached their room, he set her down in the bed, rapidly attempting to start up the fireplace. "You're gonna fight Omni. You're gonna wake up and be fine. Please." The room was slowly warming, blankets and furs were lain over her body. Tea was boiling on the kettle. The bird had flown in through one of the only opened windows, silent as he watched as Jacinto tried to keep his mate warm. Jacinto turned and nodded a grateful nod before working on Omni's wellbeing once again.

sorry for the failpost...so tired...so so tired *snore*

.

The cold hit her like a stab of a blade, instantly rushing into every parting in her fur and stinging the skin. The current pulled her under, small cuts were felt from the ice her body was hitting as she was almost violently pushed up against big piles of ice. Omni had never remembered being so cold, there had been many times in the past where she'd get shivers from a cold gust of wind, but it was nothing like this. She couldn't even fight against the current. Her mind was becoming hazy, not aware of her Ky'allu circling nervously above, of Jacinto rushing to save her. It wouldn't be long, not long until she'd slip away.

Small sounds, well maybe they were big sounds were heard above, then warmth. Steady arms lifted her soaked body from the cold water. She coughed and sputtered, trying to rid herself from the invasive water in her lungs. Hands helped, pumped the water from her chest, then she remembered weightlessness.

Am I dead? Her head hurt, painful from the ice she had hit. Her body was weak and frail, pretty beaten from the ice. Luckily, Omni was able to sit up, warm in her own bed. Jacinto's face looked warm when he saw that she was alive, happy that she had survived together horrors of the river. Still her body shivered, reaching out with a hand with long fingers extended, Omni softly whispered "I'm cold....Come here." She gently pulled him under the covers with him, feeling his body's heat radiate off his fur. His pelt was damp from diving in to get her, she touched his face, shivering and looking around the room. He seemed to be making warm things, soup, and tea. "I'm so sorry." He could have risked his life, or even killed himself jumping in after her.
