- Intro -

After the Landia of Peace was discovered and the guardians Luna, Thorn, and Swan were in charge of watching over the Resting Place, it has been over a millennium almost. But, things have changed dramatically over the years since a massive wildfire burned away practically every being who inhabited the Landia of Peace. Those who were able to flee the voracious, lapping flames that enveloped the island found sanctuary on a new island that was much farther away from their prior place of origin and also much larger and wider than their initial home. They named this island, "Lōkahi", which is Hawaiian for harmony. There are, in fact, smaller islands that surround the main one, however they are populated by highly poisonous plants, thus making them uninhabitable toward magical fae, dragons, and the like.

After a while of building establishments and even a new sanctuary for the dragons, they all finally settled. Sadly, because of the former guardians perishing, new ones were chosen. Life as it was in their prior homelands slowly returned to normal, though deep down, everyone knew it'd never be the same.

As it was in the beginning, it is up to you to decide how your fate will play out.

Hoko
(Sorry for the wait)
“Is it really that hard to forget?” Hoko purred with amusement, flicking his ear. “I do it quite often!” He glided toward Beryl, brushing his whiskers against her, so he wouldn’t bump into her. (Despite everything, his eyes are still kind of bad at close range.) “I’ll shut up if you’d prefer.” He offered, plotting how to find the two troublemakers. What should he do when he finds them? A few unfortunate winds, perhaps?

(don’t worry about it! )
Beryl
A soft chuckle emitted from the woman as Hoko brushed his whiskers against her face. “My memory’s becoming worse, okay? You can’t blame my inner elder.” Beryl half-joked, lifting one of her hands and scratching the enlarged felid’s downy nape. “You needn’t worry about having to shut yourself up. I enjoy listening to others rather than talking myself.” The guardian assured the cat, continuing the massage the back of Hoko’s neck.

Hoko
He rolled his eyes, but happily accepted the scratch. “You’re making me feel like a three year old talking to an old man.” The cat mewed jokingly. His some of his loose furs fell as his neck was being scratched, and he enjoyed the feeling of an itch being scratched. Idly, he started a long winded story about a really big lizard he saw. It was huge! Not dragon big, but it was so, so shiny! And very poisonous. Maybe he should use it on- Oops, that slipped out of his mouth.

(ok back sorry some shit happened with the plumbing at my house)
Eclipsed looked at yuri's horns commenting on his thoughts but speaking as if a random thought occurred to her.
"Oh I forget to mention I can almost fully block your thoughts if I try hard enough too it just gives me a headache so basically I can only partially sense your emotions at that point, and I bet the carvings are amazing," she said to reassure yuri but also aether

Yuri
|With a sad little smile, Yuri stepped forward into his little house, which seemed to be getting more cramped by the minute, and headed down the narrow hallways. Eventually, after a few twists and turns, he entered a large open room smelling deeply of wood and oil. It was dark however, until with a surge of will, Yuri's horns went ablaze like gasoline into a campfire. The gentle yet bright gray light lit the interior, and thousands of beautifully carved skeletons of former monarchs dotted simply every space. There were hundreds on the floor, thousands on the shelves, and some even hanged from the ceiling with twine. Each one was different from the other, yet somehow fit together with some sort of majestic beauty. There were dragonflies next to turtles, simple wooden paintings next to bears, and carvings of rocks and fish. Each one was differently colored, each one had a different pattern or significant mark to make it distinct from its many, many Brothern. Yet still, it all fit together. Telling the story of life and death from both the dead and alive, showing the beauty of nature without ever saying a word, and explaining Yuri without naming him. The room, in the simplest terms, was alive. It had an energy, a deep inaudible thrum. It was sad, yet blissfully hopeful and lighthearted. It stole the breath from your lungs and brought tears to the eyes of the dead; *But alas, they are just carvings,* or at least, that was Yuri's thoughts. Among the maze of carvings, Yuri looked slightly abashed, even out of place. Uncomfortable. |"Where...here they are. I hope you like them, I've been carving them for some time..."| Padding over to one of the many tables, he grabbed a small slightly crude carving of a sun. rubbing it with one forefinger, he sat on his haunches, waiting with a slight look of anxiety on his face for their response.|

Eyes wide open, she simply stared. She could’ve looked at these carvings for hours. The beauty was indescribable. She hoped her expression and reaction was enough. What could she even say in this situation?

(aa my bad !! i got super busy and distracted i forgot to check on this roleplay )

Beryl


”Well, you are technically older than me, if you convert your age in cat years to human years..” Beryl countered with a matter-of-factly tone, swathing her arms around Hoko and setting him on her lap. The guardian continued scratch at the feline’s apparent itch as he went on and proceeded to tell her a tale about how he stumbled upon a giant and incredibly poisonous reptilian. Her eyebrows furrowed when Hoko was about to suggest using it on the potty-mouthed cowboy and his even worse dragon mount. “No. The fiasco has concluded, and I’d rather that it stayed that way. We mustn’t provoke them any further, or we could possibly endanger the entire island.” Beryl warned, a stern look glued upon her face.

Hoko
“Scratching an old grandpa’s itch. Mmph.” He said, flopping over. He twitched his whiskers, and then explained “The lizard’s poison, when turned into a gas, induces the urge to sleep, tiredness, and grogginess.” He twitched his tail, yawning. “I just want to see if they have anything that could potentially destroy the island’s ecosystem. Bugs and humans tend to go together.”

Beryl


”Worrying about the safety of Lōkahi is my job, Hoko.” Beryl reminded him, patting his belly. “But, those two are already a danger to the island as is. I don’t want anyone provoking them any further, unless absolutely necessary.” The guardian said, her face remaining to hold the same stern facial expression from before.

Hoko
The cat went silent for a moment, and then said “Would they notice me, though? I would just watch them. I want to see for myself who did that.” in an oddly calm tone. “Just…from a distance.” He promised, flicking his ear. “But, maybe not. If they go off the island, I’ll leave them be. My curiosity is not worth that much effort. Unless they do something stupid like burning the forest down with their campfire. But…if you’re that against it, I won’t.” He fully intended to respect Beryl’s wishes. Maybe he could ask an air elemental to pass information to him? Either way, he did not take kindly to people who hurt his friends/caretakers. If he could, he would find a way to make them pay. Well…maybe just see what kind of people they were. If they were rude to him…he might just chase them off the island himself, through a series of bugs.

(He is very loyal, and he doesn’t care as much about morals as one might think)

Cottonmouth
|Following Tumbles descent into slumber, again, Cotton stood with a grunt and ambled off into the bushes to...relieve himself. Once done, he stretched a little because he had gotten stiff after all that laying down and tussling; not helping was the fight the other day, it was aggravating his joints. Groaning with slight relief, Cotton grabbed a few dollars from the satchel bag, despite a warning growl from tumble. |"Aww, shut the hell up Tumbleweed. I gotta get a drink of whiskey, else I might shoot ya the next time you sit on me you great fucking lump."| Kicking the flank of the dragon, which Tumble could barley feel, he trudged through the underbrush for a few miles before heading into the nearest town. It wasn't the same one, and this one was smaller, but no town he had ever been to had not had a tavern of some sort. Making his way along the street, he felt plenty of hostile stares. But he was so used to it, he didn't pay any heed to it. That does not mean however, he didn't feel it. Minutes later, he was lounging in the corner of a smokey and rickety tavern. Placing the dirty bottle to his lips, he drank deeply before leaning back and placing his boots on the table. Now comfortable, he pulled out a deck of cards and began to idly play himself. Puffing on a foul-tasting cigarette, the crowd slowly began to lose interest in him. Exactly what he wanted.|

Beryl


"They would most likely notice you, I'm sure." The guardian replied. "Although both of them are truly dumbfounded jackasses in my opinion, they aren't entirely stupid." Beryl chuckled softly, scratching the bottom of the feline's chin. The half-tiefling began to ponder if Fuyumi and her father had begun to worry about Hoko's whereabouts. She was 99% positive that the two must've known Hoko had left, but the other 1% left her questioning. "Hey.. Does Fuyumi know where you are?" She suddenly asked Hoko, peering down at the black-coated felidae curiously.

Eclipse flinched at the light for a second before looking around her drawn to a small carving of the moon looking at it intensely before looking up and hanging carvings of dragonflies. She sat back her wings wrapping around her torso so she didn't knock anything over and using her tail as something similar to a step stool and pushing her body closer to the carvings in the air. She then went back down before seeing carving that looked similar to her(if its alright can there be a carving of her species of dragon there?)
(if yes:
"Hey yuri whats this one?" she asked intrigued her eyes not leaving the carving as she asked
(if no:
She shook her head realizing te light was playing tricks on her before walking back to the moon sculpture
"Hey yuri whats this one?" she asked intrigued her eyes not leaving the carving as she asked

Hoko
“I’m a cat.” He pointed out, holding out his paws. “If i’m careful, they’ll just think i’m normal.” His tail moved lazily, and he said “They know I went out, just not exactly where I am. They won’t worry.” He promised, flicking his ear. “ They saw me go.”
