I entered the cave my brother was meidtating in. He still didn't have his stripes. After the ceremony, the Moon Spirit will grant him his stripes, marking him as a full fledged male, ready to take on his adventures to prove his strenght and wisdom. He will have to prove that he is worthy of leading a pack. After all, leaders' children don't inherit their place, they have to fight for it. I remember that other male, Kovah (or what was his name) trying to overthrow my father. He was brave and everything... But he ended up with his guts spilled.
"Silverfang? It's me. Saberwind." Silverfang turned around, still sitting on the same spot. He had heterochromia, one of his eyes brown, other blue. "Saberwind? You've actually come back?"
"It wouldn't be a good luck to reach maturity without a blessing of all living family members, now would it?"
"I almost missed your babbling. Almost."
"You haven't changed at all in these three years."
"Four. Tommorow will be four years." I approached to him and silently sat next to him. I knew what was he about to ask.
"Why did you leave? Did Kovah's death shock you so hard? You didn't even know him!"
"It wasn't about Kovah, Silver. I'm sipmly different, you know that. I am..."
"Yeah, right. You're more human than a furry. I don't get it, what's so good about them? Their fake morals? Their pretending that they are above animals? Not to mention that their world is so uncomfortable."
"I don't know how to explain it. Violence and blood and gore is just not my thing."
"It's not my thing either and I still don't wish to be a human."
"Oh, God, you're annoying!" I said, punching him lightly in a shoulder.
"And now you're worshipping God instead of Moon Spirit. At least she's gracefull and beautifull!"
"Don't push your luck. I can still kick your ass."
"Wait till I get my stripes. Your tirany over me shall be over once and for all!" We both started to laugh. Even Silver was a bit different from everyone else in the pack. He dreamed of adventures and slaying evil rulers and saving damsels in distress. He didn't want to be a pack leader. But unlike me, he hid his dreams and passions and acted like a tough little tiger.
"I can't stay for too long. So, stand up." As we stood face to face, I took my saber and cut my hand-like paw. The hot blood dripped, and the sweet scent filled the cave. I wiped my paws aganst each other. I left a one bloody print on my brothers chest, and the other one at his right cheek. "May the wind always be under your command, may all your battles be won, may you die with your eyes facing those of death. And may all of your dreams come true. As your older sister, firstborn and first mature, I bless you with strenght to fight, and wisdom to choose what's right."
"You always have to be special, don't you?"
"Shut up."

Meriam sat in the park, drawing pictures of her guardian spirit, Saberwind. Times like these were always difficult. Saberwind left her only three times since she's become her guardian, and only in urgent business, but Meriam would always feel lonely. Actually, it was no different before she met Saberwind. She was just a lonely girl, left behind by everyone who could leave her behind, only with her drawing talents and inability to shut up when she's annoyed.
She met her on a similar day like this. It was about to snow, and Meriam was stressed out. She recieved a threatning letter from a guy she stood up against (and hit in the face). He and his little thugs waited for her in front of her house. They nearly raped her. But Meriam felt her strenght growing, and she fought back without problem when they ripped her clothes. She didn't understand what happened. Few days later, she heard these wierd voice in her head, mumbling some mumbo-jumbo gibblerish. She could see some kind of spirits possesing people, or being united with them. She had a high fever few days later, and finally got in conact with Saberwind, who told her what happened. She couldn't believe! Such a coincidence! A furry was only trying to help her and thought she is simply possesing her, but it turned out they are truly a host and a guardian! Perfectly matched, their souls like twins, like a perfect picture in a mirror, linked beyond the worlds.
Meriam was fascinated. Saberwind told her all about her home world, though she obviously didn't like it, but then again - neither did Meriam like her own world. She wished so much to go with Saberwind, but she simply couldn't. In her spirit form, she wouldn't last two minutes in furry world, unless they figure out the way for humans to have their physical form in the furry world.
Meiram heard steps slowly approaching. She decided to ignore them.
There was one friend of hers, also a host whom she met some time after encountering Saberwind, that was trying to make a device that will bring them into the furry world in their physicall form. She was a scientific genious. She knew everything about... well, scientific stuff. Meriam didn't get much of it, but she loved to hear her talk about her projects.
"How long are you going to pretend that you're a ghost?" asked a girl. Meriam looked up, glancing at the tall, skinny girl with short black hair and big, dark eyes.
"Sarah! What brings you here?"
"I just went for a walk. Saberwind left, didn't she?" Meriam nodded. "It hasn't been long, but I already miss her."
"I know how you feel. I think I'm gonna go mad when Daggerjaw leaves to date her boyfriend." Meriam heard someone reply to her, and Sarah laughed, but she didn't understand. Her eyes weren't as opened when Saberwind was here.
"I'm sorry. I can't really see her, or understand her."
"She says it's fine. Only very gifted mediums can see furries without having their guardian. Gosh, she's such a nerd."
"Oh, and you're not."
"Hehehe, you said that at the same time."
"How's that thingly thing doing?"
"You mean my Transformation and Restoration Pip Boy for Physical Appearence in Furry World?"
"Yeah, that. Wibbly-wobbly."
"You've been watching Doctor Who again?"
"Yes. there is nothing wrong with that."
"I agree. One day, I will make us a TARDIS and kidnap a Time Lord. As for Pip Boy, it's progressing. I've managed to attain physical form for almost two hours! I just need to find a way for limitless funcioning and we're good to go on an adventure! And I think I know just a thing."
"I sence this is going to be a long monologue. How about we hop to my place for some tea and cookies?"
"Sure thing."

I've been absent for quite a while. And I'll probably be absent for a little more while. Exams and stuff. Ugh.
Anyway,  daggerjaw729 is obviously one of the characters here :3
I just had to give you a host,  daggerjaw729 I hope you don't mind :)
