    ✞ - so being a loner was no longer a viable option. he was tired of watching the clans fight, spilling blood on each other, but at the same time, it invigorated him. he didn't want to wait in the shadows like he had been instructed to. there was no father to teach him any longer, nor a brother to take care of- he was in the hellraisers now. as light must exist if dark does, andras couldn't stand the imbalance. would he allow his brother to lay ruin to the groups he had envied as a child? what was all the training for? the lessons? the bruises? the lacerations? the scars?


    it certainly wasn't to lie in waiting. with his grandmother's jagged sword and not much else, the twin-tailed dog approached the floating isles, having heard legends of them. narrowing his dull grey eyes, the dog would do what he hated- wait.

    ✦ ✧ ✦ The cub made her way over once she spotted a stranger in the distance. Since her mother's death, she had become more wary of strangers at the border but her curiosity didn't allow her to stay away from them. She waddled up, looking to the stranger with wide-eyes. "Hello! Welcome to the Hyperian Isles. What's your name and business here?" Demanded the Inductee, her eyes scanning them. "You have very pretty eyes." She commented, staring at the grey eyes. It was strange, she didn't remember seeing grey eyes before.

    ✞ - a child? andras instinctively kneeled out of politeness, letting the sword rest at his side in an nonthreatening manner as he got to her level. the girl spoke to him, commenting on his eyes, and he'd blink. the word reminded him of the past and he'd divert his gaze to the left, unsure how to respond. it was a child and they meant no harm, of course, but he wondered. was the rest of him pretty too? could they see right through him?


    he realized he was internally overreacting and returned to his usual stoic thoughts, dipping his head. "thank you, miss," he'd say with a little smile. "my name is andras arcanium-leonidas. i'd like to join the hyperian isles." he spoke so formally, so distantly, that it was almost parallel to the gentle manner he had acted to aphrodite earlier; he was back to being a soldier, a weapon.

    "Ask and you shall receive." Declared the cub with a grin on her maw. She liked how he kneeled, his politeness, it was all so wonderful to her. Aphy was always polite to everyone she met, this was a first to receive it back. "I'm sure there's no problem with you joining, you're very kind, Canoris would love you!" She purrs happily, jumping on the pads of her paws. "I'm Aphrodite Seraphinus-Keyper, or you can call me Aphy for short. Do you need a tour?" She meows, looking at the territory behind her for a moment before gazing back up to them. "It's a little scary at first, but it's fun to explore too."

    ------lycus joined the two souls, placing himself beside the familiar winged leopard. they held the same rank, yet knew nothing about one another. nobody particualrlly knew anything about lycus here. he was an enigma. just as this sword-weilding canine before them.

    "lycus." the male spoke with a dip of his head. "welcome to the hyperian isles," kindness permeated his words, however simple they were. he hoped this stranger could get what he wanted out of their little clan.

    Canoris would love you! Hah. Funny. Love didn't get her anywhere and brought nothing but heartache. But alas, she had bigger things to concern herself with. Like Hyperia, and who was joining. "Hello. Welcome to Hyperia. I'm Canoris, leader here." This one seemed of a different sort compared to most she saw joining. He had a certain way of holding himself that seemed strong but not imposing. The wolf stopped to stand beside Lycus, a small smile adorning her face as she looked at Aphrodite.


    "Would you like us to show you to ca--" Her words got cut off by a loud, piercing skree! as the rapter named Bast burst from the foliage. She ran directly up to Aphrodite, happy to have found her friend, and went to give her a ferocious nuzzle right to the chest. Canoris rolled her eye, heaving a sigh as she said, "Sorry, that's my raptor. She's... unruly, and absolutely loves Aphrodite, so.." And she gestured towards her raptor, loving up on the child.

    ✞ - at once, the leader approached him, and andras was filled with a feeling of reverence. while he had risen back to his paws to greet the lycus as he welcomed him and he'd nod, a smile gracing his usually-stoic features once more. still filled with awe that canoris inspired, the canine would bow fully, resting his front half on the ground before her. he didn't move when the raptor came rushing past him; he didn't even hesitate, remaining focused on bowing. "your grace," he'd say, still with his head down. "i've heard much about you. i hope you'll allow me to serve you to the best of my ability," h said, his words directed at the leader yet he spoke to the ground, and would probably not get up until canoris told him it was alright.

    She turned to him and stood silently as he bowed before her, groveling almost. Her brow scrunched up in concern, was he mocking her? Had Penelope set him up to this? Her suspicions were only lessened by the fact his first impression felt so genuine. She decided to just... roll with it. Sort of. "Call me Canoris." She said, "And there's no need for bowing, though it is rather nice." Who wouldn't like someone to completely submit to them upon first meeting? Sounded delightful to the wolf. At his second comment, she perked up a bit, curious, "Interesting, I'll have to ask you about that later. I'm not sure I want whatever you know about me shared in public." Her voice trailed up to the lighthearted sound of a joke at the end of her statement, and she laughed lightly. What an odd animal. She was excited to have him in Hyperia.

    Gabriel joined the welcoming party, trailed by Otto and Eugene. Both of them were insistent on drawing his attention, trilling and chirping at him as they bumped against him. A sigh escaped him yet a smile won out. He gently bumped both of them with his tail, attempting to calm them down while he was busy. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Andras. Welcome to the Hyperian Isles," he greeted him.
