Snow Stalkers

Shaa hung back from his companions, trying to find a place out of the line of fire once the creature was found. Still, his dark coat would stand out no matter what as they were surrounded by snow on all sides. He shivered from the chill and wondered why he took this contract. *** Lissana was bringing in the mail and a letter with the golden dragon guild emblem caught his attention through their bond. Shaa dragged himself to his feet to where she was going through letters and flyers on the table and tore into the contract. Dear Shaa, I hope this letter finds you in good health. Vanquest would like to hire your services, however instead of your usual jobs, we have a unique opportunity. Your skills with magic have not gone unnoticed and we would love your ability with mental illusions for training purposes. If interested in learning more, please visit with myself in Ravineia at your earliest convenience. Akodai Head of Vanquest Well. A job from the guild head herself. Sounds like

Bugs for Breakfast

When hunger settled in for the first time, Nav and Athel both had the same fears. Nibbling on plant matter was one thing, but their claws and teeth alone suggested that they were no longer herbivorous equines, but now carnivorous creatures that had to eat meat. It was a curious thing to the pair, where in their old world, the intelligent beings that ate meat were kirins, but those creatures had the fangs to go along with it. The qirins here were nothing like them, much less bloodthirsty and not nearly as intelligent. Reosean cubs were usually taught how to hunt by their parents, or some other elder. Even if they didn't, instincts usually helped them come into their own, but for the equines turned vayrons, they were a little more confused about the process. Waking up as adults, Nav and Athel cringed when they realized their appetites needed meat, but their minds were still wired to run from predators, not be them. “Sooo, who do we ask for help?” Athel asked, and Nav just looked

“Don’t say it.” “I wasn’t going to.” Nav didn’t believe a word the runner said, especially with the shit eating smirk on the other’s face. The pair had been out trying to test the limits of their magic, and Navjeev had really wanted to play with the wind to give him bursts of speed. Athel, the far more leveled headed of the two, had warned him against it, but of course the puller thought of himself big and strong and a master of wind magic and speed in their last life, so naturally assumed he would be fine. Athel, loving as he was, was doing his best to not laugh at the love of his life who was sporting a hell of a goose egg on his head, and the head armor that had prevented it from being worse was cracked when the brown male had rushed headlong into the side of a rocky cliff. The pair were now standing in line at one of the forges in town hoping that someone could fix the blasted thing. Nav was distraught at his pretty golden headpiece being ruined, and Athel had taken a lot of

Masters at Work

It was cold in Roenden. Well, it was always cold, but with winter settling in, it was far colder than normal. Even with the extra fluff her fur provided, Blitz was cold, as was the rest of the squad. With the harvest season having drawn to a close, the majority of them stayed inside, usually hanging around the fireplaces at the guild headquarters unless they were sent out. She witnessed Manah earlier bundled up in blankets and a fur cape to boot, her thin lisse fur and lithe runner build doing her no favors out here. Blitzkrieg though was restless, and once she was caught pacing inside the hall, Horai had kicked her out, quoting something about wearing a tread in the flooring. Without thinking, Blitz found her paws taking her towards the forge, the heat from the fires the crafters stoked to life subconsciously drawing her closer. Vanquest’s forge was often occupied by someone or another. It was a rare treat though to walk in and find two of the guild’s best blacksmiths hard at

“Ancient evil.” “Hmm?” Riple perked his ears up hearing Draugr speak. They had been making camp and the phantom marked runner had been putting the explorer on edge. She was quieter than normal - not that that was saying much, she didn’t talk a lot as is - and the moment they didn’t have any setup to do, she started sharpening the edge of her blade. The whetstone dragged against the metal gave an eerie scraping sound echoing around them. Of course she didn’t deign to give him an answer, just continued to sharpen her sword. He wondered if the blade even needed the care she put into it considering it was magic. The blade animated itself and flew into battle so she was free to use one of her knives or even her magic alongside a vayron’s natural weapons. Ripley himself only carried a few knives, but after seeing her take down some prey with that sword, he wondered if he should try to use something bigger. The scrape against the blade suddenly stopped, and before Ripley could ask about

Water Crossing

As much as he encouraged her to eat, Ripley noticed how thin his newest companion always was, now more so than ever. Draugr stood at the edge of the water, the river’s chill liquid splashing against her legs. Her short fur was plastered against her already thin legs, some of it having leapt up to hit against her stomach, making her ribs all the more pronounced. A scowl was on her face, and she shifted her weight from foot to foot. “Come on, you can do it!” Ripley encouraged, as he padded ahead in the water. A soft grumble and some muttered words in a language he still didn’t fully understand, and she finally mumbled something a bit louder. “No can swim.” He had wondered about that. The two of them had discussed her abilities at length and it was assumed she was alive once more, but there was always the lingering thought that she was something else from beyond the grave. With water being a source of life, rumored to purify the soul, it worked well especially when running to deter the

“It’s nice,” Kezek mentioned, nodded as he gazed out over the bonfires. Night had shrouded the densely wooded Warrenfall forest, but even a human would have been able to see from the festive candles and fires that lit the paths and groups, all engrossed in their own tales and enjoying the colder temperatures of autumn. “Seeing everyone relaxed like this. Telling scary stories. Even if they aren’t true.” Blitz sat back on her haunches, ears perking as she followed Kezek’s gaze around. Beside her, Marrow was looking towards a group of pups, who seemed eager but hesitant to join in and listen to one of the scary stories. She remembered how it felt her first time, before the seasons aged her to the rough creature she was now. “Yeah,” Blitz replied, shaking her head. “It’s nice, not worrying about fighting or surviving. Just for a little bit, there’s relaxation.” She paused, following Marrow’s gaze. “I remember when I was that age. I didn’t know anything. Now I know too much.” Kezek

Harvest Time

“Tirp! Are you serious right now?” The leopard puller pretended he didn’t hear her as he continued to eat, berry juice dripping down his side. He was deaf in that ear after all, even if his band knew how to carry their voices for him to hear them. The fewspot cinnamon puller stood before him, a flustered pout on her face. She wore baskets laden with fruit, mostly apples on her part, and she swatted the berries right out of his paws as he went to take another bite. “Honestly Tirp, if you were to pull your weight a little more, Artemis wouldn’t be on your ass so much.” He could hear snickering and turned his head toward the other two females, their own baskets also laden with their bounty. “Yeah Tirp, get your head out of the clouds.” Manah called, her own spotted pelt showing a hint of a shiver this late in the season. Unlike the rest of the group, she had very short fur, and the other pullers knew she’d be in the middle of the cuddle pile through the winter. Valor walked up

Just a Grape

Competitions | Biggest Vegetable Mwali | Arwen | Elio “I don’t believe that’s going to do very well, Mwali,” Arwen pointed out with a flick of her tail, looking at the small grape Mwali brought to the contest. Arwen herself had a rather large watermelon, matching her green hued coat, while Elio sat beside her, a nicely sized squash in his paws, also obviously not the biggest in the show. “Nah, it’s okay!” Elio insisted. “It’s not about winning; it’s about having fun. Bringing anything gets us backstage passes to see all the cool produce first. Can’t fault Mwali for wanting to be in the best seat here! Genius idea.” He grinned, looking at his moderate vegetable. “Mine won’t win but she’s got heart, and that’s what matters. I love her anyway, and I’m sure she’s mighty tasty too.” “Mine will win,” Mwali insisted, looking at her fruit, though her gaze was a bit distant. “It is the strongest piece of produce here. It isn’t a debate. The judges will see and I will get the grand prize.”

Help Wanted! | This Place is a Mess! Mwali | Arwen | Elio “Well, this didn’t go the way I thought it would,” Elio grumbled, sighing as he began to sweep the piles of colorful mess off the walkpath. Arwen’s ears lowered; she’d honestly been expecting this to happen, but she hoped they’d have run fast enough to avoid being caught in the act. Mwali growled, the broom almost breaking in her talons as she worked with the anger of a thousand suns in her motion. The trio had been tracked down and disciplined for their glitter bomb prank, but luckily they hadn’t been entirely kicked out. Instead, it had been agreed that the prank itself was harmless, if they took the fall and cleaned up the mess they caused. Elio and Arwen had agreed, but unfortunately Mwali had needed some convincing. She hadn’t wanted to get into more trouble this year, however, so she eventually caved, much to her own annoyance and the relief of the other two. If she hadn’t agreed, they may not have been so lucky. “It’s

Grassland Hunt

Walking briskly underneath the hot Thedale sun, the trio had their sights set on catching up to a herd of zebra that they’ve been tailing these last couple of hours. From the tracks that they’ve been able to find amongst the brush, it doesn’t seem to be a large herd, a couple dozen at most. Valor flicks an ear as she follows after Zephyr, the possum-like Vayron leading the way, beside her, a newly met acquaintance, Leana, someone that they met when they were back in the city, and allowed to tag along for this hunt. While Valors typically quite wary of newcomers, so far she hasn’t minded Leana’s company. “Not too much further…” Zephyr mumbles as he sniffs at the ground, tail swishing in concentration at how the scent is progressively getting stronger, “when we reach them, would you like to take down a zebra together, Ana?” “Don’t want to team up with me, hmm?” Valor teases with a smirk pulling at her maw, blue gaze playfully narrowing as she bumps their tracker. Zephyr huffs, “it’s

A Distant Cure

It’s a quiet Thedale night, with hardly a peep from any of the residential animals as the group of three traversed across the cooled sands, once blazing hot from the daytime sun, but now comfortable and manageable for those less used to this terrain. None of the trio are native to these lands, and with Kezeks thick fluffy coats making it near impossible for him to travel during the day without the extreme risk of heatstroke, they’ve been traveling only at night for the sake of his health. An inconvenience to Valor, who, while not adept in the daytime heat, either, has a bit of a stubborn streak. “With this pace, we should be able to make it there in a couple hours,” Valor hums. Their destination? A remote oasis, one with exotic flowers not found anywhere else… flowers that Kezek and her guildmate, Zephyr, seek. Kezek is nodding, “good… we’ll be able to set up camp there, too, to wait out the day,” he hadn’t been in Thedale long, for him to leave his forests is rare, but he had come

Draw or write about your Reosean studying scrolls, books, interacting with their craft or perhaps even being instructed by a fellow Reosean in order to learn to craft. Are they succeeding? Or is their project turning into a massive failure? (Ex. taste testing teas or cookies, sharpening a sword and it slipped, mixing up the wrong potions, etc!) Individual Submission by Mechanic-Drone Using: Ragna 15390 | Artemis 13336 | Collin 16352 “You two are really starting to get the hang of making these.” Artemis’s voice boomed through the distillery. Her voice, which was usually strict and stern, seemed filled with optimism at her students’ recent successes. Dare one say she sounded proud? It was so hard to read the thickly furred female no one would ever know.

It was a clear outcry of pain, the burning water having infiltrated its way through her thick fur to her much more fragile skin. The crystal covered female, Ragna, shook her paw in frustration. As she began trying to cool it off it just caused the other two within the cabin to hold back stifled giggles. Another female, Artemis the craft master Ragna had traveled so far to see, strolled up to her with a humorous expression

We lost power for a few days from that big ice storm, sorry for the delay! It's Valentines Day and what better way to spend it by having your reoseans spread the love themselves? ;) I missed out on a big Christmas raffle like I did the year previous, so time to make up for it! Clearing out some of my slot hoard because I rarely even remember to breed so I know I won't use them all, offering up some slots to my own kids, some packs of items for breeding, and maybe a few surprises! All raffles come with a free twinscuits as well! My own kids are 3 packs of 3 slots being raffled, so there will be 3 winners each getting three, not 3 winners only getting one. Some of the raffles are donated, if you wish to add some to the list, let me know and I'll add you in! Raffles will last one week, and will close sometime on the 21st. That gives you time if you wish to use some of them for the month of mushy romance~ Some Rules: Entries are free, one entry per raffle section You may enter for

Reos Slot Sales!

3 min read

Come one, come all, you heard it here! Queenie is selling slots! Okay full disclaimer, I'm still kinda terrible at pricing slots. Go ahead and correct me if something is vastly wrong like I have someone at a much higher or lower tier than they should be. Rules: Gifting/Trading Slots is allowed You may not sell slots for USD if you did artwork for them You may sell slots for USD if you bought them, however, you cannot sell slots for more than what you paid for, even if my prices change after your purchase. Inbreeding at own risk May use any supplements There are no deadlines on CP/ARs, but you will not get the slot until it is paid in full. I will however, have expected times on any limited deals. You may mix and match slots on bundled deals. Do NOT ask for slots or prices to any reos I own that are not listed. Anyone asking for slots to any reoseans not listed, or harassing me about not offering slots to certain reos will get blocked immediately, and reported to the group. Slot rules
