A Furry world of nature...

[Nintai Tamashii]

Mei chuckled darkly and jumped up, staying afloat mid-air. "Oh I'm no different then before. I was here to begin with. You see I'm Nintai's...other half if you will. We're like two parts of the same person..." She leaned back and placed her hands behind her head as if she was lying on the ground. "The name's Mei by the way," She looked at Sen and smirked devilishly. "And you should get used to it, 'cause you'll be seeing a lot more of me,"

((I changed her name cause I didn't like the other one... >.<))

[Sen]

"Well, Mei, regardless of you being Nintai's other half, I still expect the same thing from you.  If you cause harm or wish to fight, I will not hesitate to stop you."  Sen declared, staring straight into Mei's eyes, his stance steeled, ready for anything that might happen.

[Nintai Tamashii]

"Right, no causing chaos" Mei said in a dull tone, using air quotes with the words "causing chaos". With a sigh she brought herself up right and suddenly disappeared, re-appearing next to Sen. She had her arm resting on his shoulder, though her feet still didn't reach the ground below. "And just to let you know. None of these abilities come from me, or Nintai. We have these because of....because we...." Mei pushed away from Sen, agitated that she couldn't say anything about her origins. The words were literally being choked back. "...She really must not want anyone to know at all...what an idiot..." She scoffed.

[Sen]

"Mei, let Nintai come out.  I'm sure that after we all shared our origins, we're curious as to what hers are."  Sen stated, sheathing his katana and crossing his arms.  "I'd like to know where you two came from."

[Nintai Tamashii]

The smirk that was plastered to her face disappeared and was replaced with a scowl. "What do you think I was trying to tell you! She's the one who won't let me say anything about it!" Mei growled at him. She lowered herself to the ground and walked a few steps away then stopped in her tracks. There was a long silent pause before Mei finally turned around "Fine....I've had a enough time to stretch my legs, but next time I'm back I won't be as kind as I was today..." Mei closed her eyes for a second, re-opening them they were a dark green again.

"...I guess we don't experience any pain if we switch willingly..." Nintai muttered before looking at Sen. "...I know all of you have shared your stories and it's only fair I do to...so I'll tell you this. I am an only child. I only have my 'father' but I'm not related to him by blood and he's....well I guess you could say he's abusive....in more way that one..." Nintai couldn't look a Sen when she was saying this so she was looking at the ground. "When I was growing up I was never allowed outside, until the day Mei had enough and took control. That was the day I ran away from my 'home' and I have been running ever since..." When she was done Nintai turned away from Sen. Her nails dug into her now crossed arms.

'I feel absolutely horrible. How could I all say that!'

[Sen]

"Hmm..." Sen started, thinking for a bit.  "Multiple personality invoked by extreme trauma, torture, and multiple type of abuse...  It seems like a likely result of all that you've been through, Nintai..."  Sen took a couple steps closer to her, putting his paw on her shoulder.  "I'm so sorry you had to deal with such a terrible father...  If I were him, I would've done the same thing...  But you're safe here, Nintai.  If he comes here, you have my word that he will be put down like the sick sadistic bastard he is..."

Sens last words had a touch of aggression added, his tone cutting like the sharp edge of his blade.  His thumb rubbed over up her neck a little bit, stroking through her fur a little bit.  "It's going to be okay..."

[Nintai Tamashii]

Nintai bit her lip and shrugged away from Sen. "No, please don't...no no no...I can't do this...."

'Don't do it you'll regret it!'

"I can't....I feel horrible lying about it!"

'It's true for the most part....you just left out the details now CAN IT BEFORE YOU REGRET IT!!'

"No, I can't. I can't tell you but I can't let you try and comfort me for some lie I told you! I would feel horrible misleading anyone....." Nintai paused. She was chewing on her fingers for a long while before she sighed in defeat. "....ok....you may not believe me but I would feel better if you know....the whole truth....I have no siblings...and I am not related to my father in anyway. I had NO parents...I CAN'T have a blood relative...I wasn't created naturally." She took a deep breath before continuing, but her voice wasn't sad or angry. It was just calm. "I'm this crazy experiment that some sick guy created. He makes dolls, and he wanted to make one that could think for itself that had emotions like any other furson. He wanted the perfect doll for him. I was his 'perfect' doll...a thing....a possession....a freak. Everything was great except for something in the development stages went wrong and 'I' became a 'we'. I lived in a lab....with a...horrible sick sadistic man....so I nearly killed him and ran." Nintai sighed and flopped to the ground, she felt like she could no longer stand. Her eyes were shut and she tilted her head towards the sky, a light smile on her face. "I feel so much better telling you the truth....but I so so sorry....I probably put all of you in danger...."

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Attica was still by herself in the clearing, tense, unsure of what to do. One side of her brain told her to march into the woods to see what was going one, while the other half tried to prevent her from doing so by telling her to go to Sam's Den. She sighed and turned around to see that the fire was dying; the embers slowly flickering and smoldering in defeat. Her wings melded back into her back, merely markings, and she sat on the ground directly by the fire, grabbing an ember and holding it in her hand. The benefits of being a demon was that you never got burned, unless something you touched was blessed or specially designed to be your death. She looked up to the sky, bored, but also curious as to what had happened with Nintai.. But her thoughts were ripped from her as they diverted to her parents.

[Somebody]

The sound of water gently shuffling in the wind serenaded the rustling of leaves overhead as Tezztor walked about the lake torwards Sam's den. "Fool," he said fustrated. "You are sshamed for running from battle." He paused and kicked the dirt and thought about why he was asked to retreat. "These winged beasts think little of you, they look down upon you Tezztor. They all reek of magicss." The wind picked up for a moment as if foreboding. He looked back and saw the fire with Attica and Sam still sitting near it. "Even they did not cower and run. How could I do thiss?" he pondered. A feeling he is not used to crept over him, a feeling of sorrow and resentment. Shame was not something he took very well.

Fury swept over him, he found his teeth bared in anger. "Look at them, comforting themselvess to my fire. All have ignored your warning. I will not be your fool thiss time!" he flamed and started making his way back to the camp.

[Dr. Strange]

Sam was yanked out of her moment of peace by a scream. She snapped her head towards the sound and picked Syracues up. Cuddling him to her protectively, she spread her wings and flew to the lip a few meters down from her den. Her eyes flared a brilliant blue then returned to normal. "You've got work to do. Now go up there and start working." She ordered herself, scaling the rock face silently. The sun was almost set, giving her little time to finish what she had started the day before. She set Syracues down, patting his head fondly, and flicked her tail impatiently.

"This is going to be a long night, hun. Are you ready?" She asked herself, smiling at the thought of all those furs actually accepting her. The smirk disappeared as she surveyed the damage she'd done previously. She sighed, setting about brooming the floor and rearranging her trinkets. She stepped bac kto check them and nodded. "Now the others."

[Sen]

Sen kneeled down by Nintai, looking at her, happy that the truth has been revealed, and that she was strong enough to bask in the light of revealing her past.  "I'm glad that you told me the truth, Nintai.  It must've taken a lot of inner strength to fight Mei into submission to let you speak..."  He said softly, ears down a little bit.  Maybe it's that since you were during your 'development stages', you were already developed, and while part of you wanted to obey and submit yourself to your creator's wishes, your other side that had free will must've been so strong that it found a way to be apart from your own personality, taking form as Mei.  She was the one that fought back, and you've been able to survive with her ever since...  You must learn to be stronger, and gain control over her again, Nintai."

[Nintai Tamashii]

Nintai looked at Sen for a moment then smiled. "I guess that could be a theory but really all I'm worried about is leading him here....he's been tracking me and I may have put everyone in danger." Her smiled faded and she rested her head on the palm of her hand. "Maybe I'll be lucky and lost him over the mountains...." she murmured.

[Sen]

"Nintai, you have nothing to worry about.  Those who take refuge in this forest are well protected from anything or anyone that might come in here trying to cause harm to others.  You can be sure of that.  I will defend this forest and its inhabitants to the death.  Then again, being 'immortal' usually helps..."  Sen replied, his voice strong with determination.

[Dr. Strange]

After twenty minutes of cleaning with no breaks, the place looked beautiful. All her trinkets and souvineurs(?) were placed neatly on their shelves, gleaming; her books were dusted, laying in odd piles around the room; and the cushions were arranged in a circle, with the bed in the middle. Her wings flexed impatiently. "Where did they go?" She thought for a minute then slapped her forehead. "Moron! They're on their way and some of em don't even know where you live!" She growled and walked over to the entrance, placing an odd shaped chrystal near the opening.

[Nintai Tamashii]

"I suppose that would help," Nintai said as she stood up. "Anyway, one thing is for sure. I would rather die that go back to that god forsaken laboratory...." After brushing the dirt off herself Nintai spoke again. "I'm sorry about all the commotion...I think we should get back to the others soon,"
