The Legend of Rocck

[AngelWolfie]

"Come children, let me tell you a story." The old lynx said as she sat down in her driftwood chair. Her grandchildren eagerly swarmed to her, as her stories were always good. "This is a very old story, told to me by my grandfather when I was your age." she continued, a small grin on her old face. "Many thousands of years ago, a great, golden dragon ruled the forest. He was very kind to every creature, providing for those who could not afford their own food and homes. He reigned as king of the forest for one thousand years, before a vicious black dragon killed him in a feirce battle that is said to have lasted days. The dark dragon's name was Rocck, and he took every ounce of magic from our forest and left...He went far away, no one knows where." The old lynx looked down at her paws, sadness welling up in her heart. She knew that Rocck had been meeting with the king Bushtail and threatening him. She had been there. She had seen the great black form of the dragon land at Bushtail's den. She had heard their talk. Bushtail had been very scared, and Rocck had told him that if he didn't let HIM rule, he'd kill every creature in the
forest. The lynx then decided to continue the story how her grandfather had, although tshe knew it was obviously not true. "A young group of ordinary animals, just like you, went to find him. They eventually found the lair of Rocck. They challenged him to a battle, all of them against him. If they won, they could have their magic back, but if they lost, they'd belong to the dragon for him to roast and eat. The dragon agreed, and they fought hard and long. Eventually, the warriors found the dragons weak spot. They stabbed their swords into his side all at once, and he was killed. The magic has since then returned to our forest." The lynx smiled and sent her grandchildren upstairs to bed. When the forest was magical, things were much easier. But these children didn't know that..She hoped with all her heart that someone really would destroy Rocck.

A group of animals has found out about what had been going on with King Bushtail. Rocck had been telling him what to do for quite some time now. The group must find a way to stop this before things get out of hand. (Er..paw :P)
This RP is kinda like Redwall. The animals are human-like, standing on their hind legs and wearing clothes, but are not anthros. The forest is a village to the animals that live there, it has a government, and is very organized.
CARNIVORES DO NOT EAT OTHER ANIMALS THAT ARE NOT REPTILES FISH OR BUGS. In this, eating another animal like them would be considered cannibalism. The carnivores are omnivores. Don't worry, the fish are huge.
The animals cannot be things like tigers or monkeys. They must be something you could find in Canada or the northern US.
Your form must look like this:

[AngelWolfie]

Cool! We can start :D

Veronica carried a large basket of berries on her shoulders as she trudged back to her village. The king had been demanding she gather more food, and work harder. She breathed heavily, and tripped over her skirt as she approached to her shop, an old tree with a hole in it's roots and a hollowed out trunk that had been carved out by some raccoons and used as a house before. Veronica set her basket on a table and lit her oil lantern. There were windows to light the room, but it was cold. The only source of heat in Veronica's shop was her oil lantern. Veronica sighed as she dropped onto her seat. She rested her head in her paw as she stared blankly at the doorway.

[AngelWolfie]

Veronica stood up and went to the back of her shop. She got some jars, which she began putting berries into until the berries were so crammed together that the jars were just full of multicolored mush. She set each jar on a shelf, after sticking labels to them that read 'Jarred Berries' She picked up her large basket and left her shop again, and left the village to find a certain type of mushroom that was in popular demand by badgers. She hated mushrooms. She was always afraid she'd pick a poisonous one and kill someone by mistake, or get it on her hands and poison herself. She had to examine each mushroom very carefully to be sure that it wasn't poisonous before picking it.

[AngelWolfie]

OOC: Cool :D Thanks for joining!

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

Gehehe. No problem. I'm glad to join. :D

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

"Good morning Veronica." I said as I glided and perched on the nearest branch. "Heh. Seems like your doing what you hate today. Picking mushrooms." I said to her smiling. "Need some help with picking those shrooms?" I asked her.

[AngelWolfie]

Veronica smiled. "No thanks," She said, "But that's very nice of you." She continued on until she found a moiste area of moss with mushrooms, which she looked over carefully, and decided were alright to eat. She grabbed them around the stems, pulled them up and put them in her basket. She doubted that there were any more, as these were the only ones she'd seen in a while. This was also a good excuse to get back to her shop. She picked her large basket up, and carried it in her arms, as it was much lighter than it was when it was filled with berries. As she neared the village, Veronica thought she saw a large shadow swiftly pass in the corner of her eye. She stared at the spot for a moment, then shrugged and keft walking.

[Xhaiden]

((Ack! Late start for me T_T here goes!))

Two figures walked in silence through the forest, foreign to this place. They seemed to stand out here, very out of place indeed they were. Both were hidden beneath long black cloaks that concealed everything. The first seemed to have an intimadating air about it, despite being shorter then the second. The second was tall, slightly muscular. A reddish fox tail flicked out from the cloak of the second figure before vanishing into it's folds again.

" How much further are we to walk sister?" The second asked in a masculine voice, borderline to whining.

" Not much..." Was the feminin reply he recieved. Her voice was richer, darker, yet at the same time, softer and dangerous. They neared the village finally, the duo looking about, committing the place to memory.

" So this is where we are to live?" The man asked, glancing at his sister. She nodded once and proceeded forward, looking about for lodging.

[AngelWolfie]

Veronica set the basket of mushrooms on her table inside her shop. Finally, she was done gathering for the day! She put the mushrooms in groups inside small paper packages and put them on the shelves. She hoped they wouldn't rot. She then stretched her arms and yawned before putting out her lantern and leaving. It felt good now to walk without having to carry anything. She hurried to her home, a small hole in a mossy hill. It had a wooden door, unlike her shop, which kept heat in, so she rarely needed a fire. She pulled open the door and entered, a warm rush of air greeting her and destroying the cold of autumn.

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

"Gah. I need to do another round." I said as I started gliding up into the redish orange sky. I took trip around the village for scouting purposes. I started to fall down as my eyes began to close. "Ahhh!! I shouldn't be falling asleep here." I shouted to myself and maintaining my altitude.
I flew back to my nest and laided down there. "ah..... nice and comfy." I said to myself falling alseep instantly.

[AngelWolfie]

Veronica awoke the next morning and yawned. She had dreamt that a large black shadow was moving the citizens of the village like marrionettes on strings. A chill ran down her back. She remembered the puppet creatures killing, yelling, fighting... There were many things much more horrible than that happening. "It was only a dream." She thought to herself, standing up wrapped in her blanket and heading toward her kitchen for a cup tea.

[Amy-chan]

A cloaked figure walked through town, black robes billowing. The figure's hood covered their face, giving off a rather mysterious aura.

The figure passed the village and made its way toward a mossy hill on the outskirts. It strode up to the wooden door, rapping on it lightly with a gray paw.

And then... it waited.

[AngelWolfie]

"Hmmm?" Veronica purred as she sipped her tea, and headed to the door. She opened it, and a cloaked wolf stood in the doorway. "Who are you? What do you want?" She asked immediately.

[Amy-chan]

"Sorry to bother you so early," said a misty voice. The figure shook back its hood, revealing a gray wolf. She smiled apologetically at the bobcat standing in the doorway.

"I...I'm just new here, and I heard you're the local berry gatherer," she continued. "I need some berries for one of my remedies. Would you be so kind as to find these for me?" She pulled a small, battered piece of parchment listing some berries from the pocket of her robes.

"Really sorry to bother you," she repeated, handing the bobcat the list. She wheeled around and was gone in a streak of gray.

[Uzumaki_Naruto]

I got up early to do some practice runs. After about the third round, I noticed that there were a hooded character at Veronica's House. "I better check out what's up." I said as I glided down towards the house. From what I could see, it was a wolf. I stopped and perched on a small rock. "Hello there Veronica. And hello to you stranger. What brings you to the berry collector's home?" I asked the weary looking traveler.

[Amy-chan]

"Dark and difficult times," the wolf replied gravely, turning to look at the falcon perched on a nearby rock.

"I go by many names, but most call me Filena," she told the falcon and the bobcat, her yellow eyes closed in what appeared to be deep thought.

[AngelWolfie]

"Well...Why don't you come in?" vEronica asked, opening the door further and backing up. "You look tired." She left the door open, and hurried into her kitchen and poured a second cup of tea for her guest.

[Amy-chan]

"Oh- well, thank you," Filena said gratefully, somewhat surprised at this unexpected kindness. She followed the bobcat into the house.

"Nice place you've got here," she commented, sinking into a chair. She knew it was rude, but she was exhausted.

[AngelWolfie]

"Thank you!" Veronica said, offering the wolf some tea. "Anyway, where are you from?" She asked, setting the cup of tea on a table next to the wolf. She sat down in a nearby chair.

[Amy-chan]

"Many places," Filena said, sipping her tea. "I... I never stay in one place too long. I'm a wanderer, you see." Her eyes glazed over as she stared up at the celing, lost in reminiscence.
