*~*~*NEW NEWS*~*~*
i've added a bit to the forced recognition story
thankx for being so patient --nightflier


Welcome to our new holt. I am Firestar, the chieftess of Skyholt. Skyholt exists on the planet of the shadows. Seven generations before me, our ancestors, the Skyfliers, were stranded here when the shadows killed The Great One, Saar. Saar was the only one with the "right magic" to fly the pyramid. Our ancestors arrived here in pyramid, but when they landed, it stuck to the rocks below it. Over time, the rock has been shaped up over the pyramid, encompassing it. Now, we live on the mountain/pyramid protecting it.

The storytellers of the tribe tell us that when a male shapeshifter and a female flier recognize, the daughter will have the "right magic." It is because Saar was female, and because only a daughter can save us, that only a female can lead the tribe. My mother was the cheiftess, as was her mother before her and her mother before her. All the way back to Saar.

I am Firestar, named so for my uniqe ability to light a fire with only my magic. Each of us has a specific animal with which we identify and which we can call to do our bidding. Since my magic deals with fire, my bond animal is the firey Phoenix. Of all my tribe, only I can call her and keep her from lighting the entire forest aflame. My lifemate, Stormlynx has the unique ability to call all animals. My daughter is Nightflier, and just as I am chieftess now, when my time is through, she will lead in my place.

Ah here she comes now, and since I have tribal duties to attend to, I will let her tell you more about herself, Skyholt, and our enemies.

hallo, i am nightflier. i am a flier, hence the name. i call birds. my mother and my tribe have hopes that i will bear the daughter who can fly the pyramid back out to the stars, but for me, lovemates are just peachy. in the tribe i am a sort of scout. before all hunting trips i fly ahead, keeping watch for shadows. i know that shadows don't sound so dangerous, but these are. they are hunters, predators, and we are their prey. not just us, but every living creature. they hide among the shadows, can blend with them. the shadows don't have teeth and claws, they don't even have a definate shape. they leap upon their prey, and absord it completely. when i fly i look through my hawk's eyes. he senses the shadows, all the creatures can. some in my tribe have argued to use the shapeshifters to taint our blood with a beast's blood, so that we too could sense the shadows. luckily it has always been denied, fearing it will...interfere with our magic. the only other enemies we have are the humans. we must protect our pyramid from their greed. we fight them back, keeping them off our land. sometimes it takes great tolls on the holt, killing off many of our tribe. we fear the shadows more, but sometimes it is hard to know which emeny is greater, the shadows that kill to survive, or the humans that kill to kill.
