WALOS 2021 - Adelaide by pawstepsinthesnow, literature

WALOS 2021 - Adelaide

Adelaide stretched carefully, curling her hands into fists and then stretching her fingers out as far as they would go. Human hands. Not the ketucari paws she was so used to. So, had that old trickster decided it was her turn for a prank? She felt so unstable on two legs instead of four. This new guise would take some getting used to... She was tall, by human standards. Slender, though not frail. Her hair was thick, glossy, down to her waist. A beautiful teal blue that faded to a deeper ocean blue towards the ends. At a minimum, her features seemed appropriately refined... though she felt quite vulnerable in this new shape. The dress didn't help. She kept getting her legs tangled in it. How did two-legged creatures manage? --- Desrosiers stood outside his daughter's door. A massive ryno with flowing, shimmery fur in a rich teal, and arching horns high over his back, he gently rapped his claws against the wood. While Adelaide often spent as much time before the mirror as he did

WALOS 2021 - Ruairi by pawstepsinthesnow, literature

WALOS 2021 - Ruairi

Ruairí stretched, arching his back and rolling his shoulders. A human form was inconvenient in some ways, very convenient in others. It was... that time of year again, it seemed. He'd woken up in this form, though it was far from the first time he'd made use of it. He hung his jacket on a nearby tree branch (leaving it dangling over where the rest of his clothes were folded), and took another step down towards the stream. If he was stuck like this for a bit, he might as well make use of it for a nice soak. He appreciated that he was still quite the sight like this-- tall, muscular, and angular. A rose-vine tattoo curled over his right shoulder and down his back. He tugged the tie out of his scarlet hair-- though left in the braid-- and stepped into the water. --- Spring outside of the Ravine was a strange experience. Warmer, wetter. He liked it, and it made him feel warm and fuzzy. Even if his body wasn't currently his own. He padded carefully on two legs away from the heart of

Flirts and Troublemakers by pawstepsinthesnow, literature

Flirts and Troublemakers

The Singing Vale lived up to its name. The rocks screamed, wind blowing through holes in the cliffs and resonating like the worlds deepest woodwind orchestra. Birds sang and whooped and called out, joined by imps and the strangely melodic droning of the bristled anta. The jungle was alive with sound in much the way the White City was, and yet it was such a completely different sound that Ikoro wasn't certain that he hadn't been transported into another world. It was beautiful. Colorful. And also ungodly humid. It wasn't just the birds that were noisy, either. Growling, Ikoro swatted at something that looked like a hummingbird, but was very clearly out for his blood. It hummed in anger, and darted instead to Ikoro's fiery companion to buzz around Havarl's ears. "Why does somewhere as beautiful as this, have bloodsucking birds?" he asked the other toa. "Can't say I'd be upset if something were to wipe 'em out." --- "Wish I could do more to keep them off you." Havarl growled and snapped

Fallen At The Falls by ASimpleMoon, literature

Fallen At The Falls

They were heroes once. She’d had a pack, nay, some would say, an ARMY, heroes who made it their goal to take down the cruel, the heartless...the evil. They succeeded nearly every time, until that fateful day. That fateful day their arch enemies struck. Rairakku sent his general, his son, and his best soldiers...and surprised them in the night, attacking them in their own home, slaughtering everyone, stealing their cubs, killing the ones they couldn’t bother to carry. Barely a soul escaped that massacre. The Night Of Red...she calls it. She still remembers him, the Prodigy, his golden pelt soaked with blood, the limp body of her cub crushed between his jaws, they had met eyes, and Scarborough had known, truly, what it felt like to BREAK. Even with the stranger that had run in to aid them, they hadn’t stood a chance. They had lost. Everything she had fought for, everything she had LIVED for, gone. She didn’t know how many had made it out, there were so many bodies, the corpses

Sweet Sugar by Anarchisme, literature

Sweet Sugar

Rain forced its way through the sparse canopy of Terendum as Feint fled the thunder behind her. The massive silhouette of Halicaecus began to break the surface of the bog, and ahead of that rising tide, the silver mane of the old swamp witch danced in the wind. Feint glanced over her shoulder and watched for just a second as the aged ketucari behind her darted forward despite her body's limitations, the nameless kadin moving less in pursuit and more to avoid what was coming next. Lightning flashed as a canid maw burst out of the murky waters, a snarl splitting the dark visage. A wave of mud washed over the shore, and then paws almost like a wolf's, then a massive body from the depths. The witch leapt out of the way, locking eyes with the changeling that took her home. Feint stared into her dark, sunken eyes, and slipped back into the reeds. She had sunk somewhere beneath the roots by the time Halicaecus prowled by, and by the time her scent dissipated, she could find somewhere else to
