In the world of Antichthon Dragons fly, and unicorns prance.
It's a world of magic, fluid and vast. Counter Earth, So similar to our own...but not.
Here man is uncommon and dwell together in small settlements.
Here, elves, dinosaurs and myth are real, commonplace!
In Antichthon, Animals talk, think, and learn together. It's no surprise, but do expect the unexpected.
As mankind does on Earth, it does in the counter Earth. Animals fall to weapons of various kinds, any quadruped must be wary.

Come down to a cove, not quite a Valley, at the base of the mountains. Rich and green, untainted, but for a settlement of about 50 humanoids whom live further south. A forest fire caught near them, which pushed them away, but drove out much of the larger game. Small game is abundant though, in this virgin forest, riddled with clearings.
This beautiful shallow Valley is about 150 miles across. cutting a track across the western side, close to the mountains is a large river, which runs to the base like a giant tear, collecting at the base of the mountains to a lake, shining a blue wonder. The hills at the base of the mountain are large, and before the land settled itself volcanic activity caused many natural caverns to form, some of which are interconnected by tunnels. There are three tunnels that lead out away from the main collection, one only small animals, perhaps the size of a fox could get through, and another is blocked by rock fall. It leads under the river. The last, large enough for two wolves atop one another to walk, leads out to a rock formation in middle land, marked by a clearing and a young cherry tree, not yet baring fruit.
The rest, not large hills, but not plains, is rolling forest covered hill. Oak, walnut, Hickory, and Maple are the main trees found there. Pine, poplar and Cherry woods intermingle, but are not as present. Where the Fire had consumed new Birch, Beech and Pines are springing up. The young trees are no more than 2 feet high right now. Ground Cover is still struggling to come up.
Common ground and fruit bearing plants are wild strawberries, Queen Ann's Lace root, cattail tubers at the edges of the lake, Huckleberries in the high hills, black and raspberry, Young tart cherries and small sweet apples, a random small grove of apricot trees from birds eating fruit.

This is the land Cross Roads has come to populate!

Crossroads land was not always populated by wolves however. It was full of cougar, bobcat, bear, moose and game. A few wolves who had no home banded together and in their strength and will they chased away many large predators. Together they came, and though each was from another land, another life, another rule...they became one.
Each of the wolves, but ten all told, expressed their tales. Two young pairs searching for a home. One young female saw how they were, and how they worked together. She confided to her mate what she believed and he addressed the older ones.
"From across each track of land we've come here. From many different paths we've trod, but here together we now stand. We should call ourselves Cross Roads, and take in any, like ourselves. Everyone deserves chance, peace, and friendly faces to call home."
A few older ones were not sure, and stated that there would be those who turned away, or found them fools. The younger were not disheartened, and said that each must choose how they will stride.
None of the elders of that groups, which there were three of them, between the ages of 7-9 wished to rule this new land, because much still needed done to take it as their territory. The young pair who suggested it, rose to the challenge and took the older mated pair as Betas. The last young couple became Gamas. The last four were members of the pack, as they chose to be. They knew that the age old pack, across the River, would not like them there as a clan.
Slowly, the young pack built it's empire and grew. A few other wolves, loners all joined the growing pack.
Their Rivals did resent them, in heir newness, their naive nature, their open kindness. Sure it would break them down before long. They were strong, generations strong and valued knowledge of war and land. They would send splinters to heckle Cross Roads, but as the new pack grew the attacks became less and less.
Now, as the old Alphas drew to twilight years, and were soon to pass a youth who had joined them near the beginning, named Tris, stepped into the role of Alpha Female.
Together, with her Mate, Cross roads will grow and flourish, even with dangers that lurk, and enemies threaten. With the fire having chased away large game, the pack hunting together, thus some community time, was lost. This must be made up, for the pack to stay as one.

Tris bows to you, bottle green eyes closing "Welcome friend! I hope you will find safety with our family, we can be odd, we have our faults, but we are one."

"I'm from around here." She said with a slight smile. " I was part of a pack, but decided to leave after a few annoying incidents.." She added on while looking from addle to the cat then back to Gale. She liked her lips and tilted her head at Gale. " What about you? I don't think I have seen much of you, so I'm going to assume you are a wanderer yes? And I don't think I'd worry TOO much about lust here, she obviously doesn't want to kill us, or else she would have while we didn't know of her presence." She said with a slight yawn. She was cautious of the cat, but she believed very much in what she said, for god's sake she was on her back plainly open for attack for a good 30 minutes.
The meaning of life you ask? How about to survive? To find a purpose? To make others, and even more so YOURSELF happy? To me, those ARE the meanings of life...

Shaking his head, Gale sat with Lust still in his view, no matter what Equinox said. "I am not from around here, no. I come from on the other side of the mountains towards the East, what my old pack would call the Eagle's Eye mountains." Instantly regretting that he mentioned his pack, his massive grey ear fell down flat against his head.

------------------------------------

Lust laughed at Equinox's comment and assumption of when she would attack and if she would. "Like I have the time to deal with any of you. You can be positive that if I wanted to kill you it would have been a lot sooner: before we ever met basically. But sadly I find no killing interest in any of you now." With another chuckled, a yawned escaped her mouth and he tail began to swing around in the air, indicating she was greatly bored.

Equinox nodded, recognizing Gale's distress at the topic of his pack, and instead turned to Lust and tilted her head. " What about you if I may ask, where do you come from?" She said slowly while allowing her tail to flick in the grass while she occasionally turned to check on Addle, mainly to see if he was still here. " Also why are you all here? Not being rude I mean, Just wondering of all places to wander why here..." She added on, the question posed to all three creatures around her.

He shakes his head vigorously, ears flapping comically. "Ohes No, not an intruder! I had a Master and he was a good er...male. I'm from Sinesta." He cocks his head "Sinesta is a city full of humanoids and low creatures like me." His true voice, melancholy, you'd expect him to wince as he speaks of himself as something low, but no. He's smiling as he speaks.

"Some people called hmm...FETAR. (Fee-tar) They told me I was not happy, they took me and they dropped me here with some kind of loop de doo, I felt very funny for a long time."
Basically he was kidnapped by the Anthichthon equivalent of PETA as a mistreated "Wild Animal" who was bred in a exotic Pet mill, and had a capacity to think.
FETAR can be just as misguided as PETA at times, but their heart is in the right place.

Lust's black ears turned back towards her tail. "Where I come from does not concern you wolf. I come from one place while this body comes from another." A slight growl escaped from her throat, feeling oh so annoyed.

Nosy little pup, she thought. Needs to keep its nose where it belongs if it does not wish to lose it.

Turning her attention to Gale, Lust felt very entertained knowing he grew weary of her. The large cat thought he feared her, but he did not. He was only ready for her if she attacked at any given moment.

----------------------------------

Gale's massive grey ears laid flat against his head, but in an aggressive manner. He did not tolerate Sins, especially this one that stood before him. When she growled he tensed up, his black fur bristling. She did not have to reveal where she came from, the hell if Gale cared, but there was o reason she should be disrispectful.

Perhaps her being a feline has an impact on her personality, he thought.

"I believe you should leave cat," Gale said with scorn.

----------------------------------

Lust laughed once more. "I'll leave when I feel like I should dog."

---------------------------------

At the word dog, Gale's hair was standing straight up. Realizing that he too is being rude for starting a fight during conversation, one ear steadily rose and his fur began to settle down, his black tail now wrapped around him.

"Gale, please relax.. we must respect balance in all its forms. The sins are just another side of that balance." Equinox muttered slightly while stretching out in the grass. " Plus the tension is driving me crazy" She added on with a slight chuckle.

Releasing a mouthful of tense air, the black wolf sighed. He relaxed, but his dark green eyes remained tense and alert.

"Of course, forgive me," he said to Equinox. He looked back to Lust and grunted.

Oh how he wished the sin would move on and find someone else to bother. Being a feline made it no better.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lust laughed at the black wolf, amused. "Now that we're all friends and such, this would be a great time to break that friendship with a little bit of blood." She laughed again and flicked her spotted tail around. Her tone was full of sarcasm, but with Lust, sometimes she meant what she said.

Equinox smiled at Gale and turned her gaze to the feline. "Blood?" She asked slightly with a tilt of her ears. " I don't see the need for any of our blood to be spilt tonight. It is a beautiful night and there is no reason to scar the stars above us." She added.

Once more the feline laughed mockingly.

"Dear dog, you seem to misunderstand. As I have said, if I honestly wanted to kill all of you, I would have done so already. Don't get me wrong though, I am not soft-hearted. Though the two males here would not know if I were trying to kill them. I am Lust, afterall, and am a master at seduction." She purred and them chuckled.

"Anyways, I am curious though about the land on which we walk on." She looked to Equinox.

"You, soft one, is there anything you can tell me about this...this place? I am quite new here and have yet to discover anything about it."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gale had bristled when Lust had called Equinox a dog. To him, that was one of the worst insults you could call a wolf.

"Nothing much to say about it, it is a quiet area.. plenty of food, not much competition. Follow the river north and you will find a waterfall with an interesting cave behind it." She said softly, not caring about what terms were directed towards her. Equinox stretched slowly before standing up and smiling kindly to Gale to indicate no harm done, before turning back to lust and tilting her head. " Is there anything specific you might want to know?"

Lust nodded her head and sat down, now obviously serious at the conversation.

"Yes, there is one thing. Have any of you seen any other sins in this area? I know for a fact that sloth and gluttony are not, but what about the others, Wrath, Envy, Greed, and Pride?" She awaited a response, her eyes now cold, hard, and empty.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gale reluctantly nodded yes. " I have seen all of them. Last I saw of them though was seasons ago. Wrath was a small, worm-like serpent, Envy a large, dragon-like serpent, Greed a predator in the a sky, and Pride A scavenger though I remember him being torn apart." Gale paused to see if the others had something to say.

"I Believe there was a bird of some sort spouting something about being a sin a few days ago. But I don't know which way he went.." She said slightly while gazing at the sky. Her tail flicked slightly as she let out a small sigh. " But other than that I have only heard of your kind, rumors reach this area but they don't get much farther than rumors." Equinox added without taking her gaze off the stars.

Lust growled at herself with Equinox's answer. She wanted to know where they were. Her ears perked at Gale's answer though.

"Do you know where hey are dog?" Her claws dug into the dirt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gale growled once again,crating at Lust. "if I did I would not tell you because of that insult. But since I do not then I will tell you: I do not know where hey now are or whether or not they have the same bodies."

He looked to Equinox and relaxed once again. Sometimes he couldn't help but yet angry. Thankfully Equinox was here to keep the peace though, otherwise Gale and Lust would be at each other's throats.

"Hmmm, I'm sorry I couldn't help any." Equinox said simply before looking off to her left. "I'm kinda hungry.. anyone want to have some fish?" she said with a happy tail wag. " We can get some from the river nearby.."She added while looking at them all.
