(Steppe, desert, forest, oasis, and mesa areas of Rilia, where many of the remaining Feanturi live in hiding from the War Lords.)

***Call for help****
A red glow was growing along the horizon as the fire spread. Birds and beasts ran in all directions trying to escape the blaze that had just been started to trap the "rebel feanturi" in their small camp. The hooves of at leat a hundred rosh thundered across the plains, their riders slaying all in their path that wasn't wildlife.
Shouts ran along the edge of the blaze, inside the feanturi encampment as the knights and priestesses tried valiently to get the littlings out of the way of the massacre they knew was coming..... It had become a vicious cycle that they could almost predict, but couldn't pinpoint the location that would be hit next.... Many fled underground, into the vast expance of tunnles they had continued creating since the first had been made during the overthrow of the Rilan government 4,000 years ago. Now, they were a means of escape. Ment to not only save lives, but take them....a place where they had the upper hand....where they knew every inch of tunnles, others didn't, and could easily become lost amongst the vast subterranian maze...or easily picked off one by one.
The small army moved swiftly across the plains, beams of light flickering to life as they came, some on the ground, other above it, showing the various battles of the morequi against the feanturi....and more often than not, the morequi won, being mounted and outnumbering the, already small, feanturi group. Laughter mixed with cries, and screams of pain in the dark night air, as sparks danced upward into the night sky, like so many lights, flickering for a moment, and dying on the bitter cold night wind.
In the end only a few survived the attack....the 5 that had made it to the tunnles...
The morequi warriors moved about the ruins of the encampment gleefully, having had their fill of death and destruction for the day, and wanting to make sure they left none alive to tell the tail of what had happened that night.
Only one they found, barely alive, and in the smoking ruins of the tent where the littlings were usually kept....the only guardian left to protect those that had once been inside that tent, and had protected them to the end....now....now she was all that was left.
"Speak woman, or I shall cut you to pieces!...." "I will never tell you anything evil one." she repeated stubbornly. "Talk! This is your LAST WARNING!....Tell us where they went!...Where is your Escape?!" "I would die first." "Fine.....boys, let her have it her way......Kill her."
"Help us contess"
With one swift stroke there was silence.
Another spark smothered in the wind.

Zarrish prowled through the slight underbrush of the dry grasslands south of Ordril city. His tail flicked back and forth as he watched a wayward beast meander away from it's herd.
[glow=orange,2,300]Big mistake little one....you are now tonight's supper.[/glow]
He muttered to himself, crouching down even further in the tall grass. Suddenly a large rush of wind and sound of thundering rosh and speeders frightented the animals away, and Zarrish stood up in the grass, his claws extended as he tensed.
Hissing, his ears went back and his spikey mane bristled all the way down his back, the end of his tail ignighting with fire.
[glow=orange,2,300]Morequi....[/glow]
He growled and sank back down into the grass, watching them intently, his good eye seeing the movements of their group, his white eye pinpointing the red, orange, and black aura's around them.

Daawn rode through the grasslands quietly, only saying a few things here and there before she slowed Sulin to a walk once more.
[glow=green,2,300]He should be around here somewhere....[/glow]

A tall, lion like creature stood up from the grass and stretched lazily.
[glow=orange,2,300]I was wondering when you would get here Daawn...[/glow]
He stated, padding over to them silently, the end of his tail aflame.
[glow=orange,2,300]Who is your friend?[/glow]
He asked, gazing at Quena out of one green eye and one white eye. He looked to be half blind because of that eye, with it's scar over it, but he was far from blind. Daawn shook her head, showing that she was not going to answer for Quena.

[glow=green,2,300]Yes, he is my friend.[/glow]
Daawn replied, as Zarrish padded over and sat infront of them.
[glow=orange,2,300]I am Zarrish, leader of the Roran tribe. It is a pleasure to meet you Quenladose.[/glow]

*Quenladose gave a small nod of her head to Zarrish and looked at Daawn*
Do all the animals of your world talk?

[glow=green,2,300]No....thank the winds! Oh that would be horrible for the farmers who raise our cattle! "No! No! please! Don't eat me! I'm too young to die!"[/glow]
She said with a laugh that made Sulin look over her shoulder at Daawn.
[glow=orange,2,300]Come, we shouldn't be seen out here...the morequi just passed through here not long ago.[/glow]
Zarrish stated, standing and leading the way to an outcropping of rock.

Zarrish disappeared into the tall grasses once more, the only thing visible of him was the flame at the end of his tail. Daawn chuckled at that and followed easily, leaping out of the saddle as soon as they were in the shade of the rocks and sitting down lightly, not caring if her dress got dirty....it was washable.
[glow=green,2,300]So where's the tribe Zarrish? They still near Ordril?[/glow]

Zarrish stretched lazily, his sharp claws digging into the ground easily, as his long tongue curled in a catlike manner while he yawned. Sitting down, he looked at the two of them from out of one orange eye and one cloudy white eye, which had a large scar over it.
[glow=orange,2,300]They'll be here soon enough, we needed to move again because the Morequi are headed south. Unfortunately for them, they'll find that their speeders fuel lines have been cut by some terrible animal during the night.[/glow]
He replied with a chuckle, his tail sliding along the ground, sending sparks into the air.

*Quenladose seemed lost from the question for a moment and spoke carefully*
No, I'm just so used to watching kinrath fight over tachs and massive creatures who make my mind and stomach feel like it's doing laps up and down a tree.. I've forgotten there's a vast array of creatures in this galaxy. Let alone ones with more intelligence then a trandoshen...

Zarrish tilted his head slightly at her words.
[glow=orange,2,300]Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with the species you're talking about....I have only ever seen this world, and do not know much outside of it, though my curiosity is boundless.[/glow]

Trandoshens, strong and fast but dumb as a board. tachs are little simians who's glands make good ale I've heard. No one would sell to me saying I was too young. Kinrath are like spiders and annoying, the other creature i don't know what it's called

Zarrish nodded slightly.
[glow=orange,2,300]I see. Thank you.[/glow]
[glow=green,2,300]So tell us more about Kashyyk where you live. I've only really heard bits and pieces about it.[/glow]
