Sola let go of the squirming bundle; realizing the young creature wasn't responding to the cooing and because a sudden wave of exhaustion came over her. When it dashed away form her and stopped; Sola remained on her back. In this position she wasn't as threatening; exposing her stomach to attack. She listened silently to what the dragon-like creature was say; after which, she laughed.

"Apologize for what little one? You've done nothing wrong. And I wouldn't eat you, your much to big and scary, I think you might eat me first!" She smiled, trying to appeal to the small child in the creature; if there was one. She rolled to her side, looking up at the frightened child. "My name is Sola; I'm sorry I scared you. Please don't leave me, I need someone to protect me." The funny thing about children was if you fed its ego, they tended to gain confidence.

Rowan blinked at the... kestral, he said?

"...Oh."

He certinally talked quickly. Reminded her of Rann when he got going...

Rann... Silver... CRAP! She had to get back.

"Okay, yeah, thanks for saving me there and all, but do you guys perchance know how to get back through the flashy... Blue... Thing..."

The more she talked,the more she realized how stupid she sounded. Blue flashy thing? Portal?

Ugh. This was going to be an issue. "OKay... Look... This sounds crazy, but I fell off of a cliff and I fell through... Um... The... Fabric of space time? Look. I'm not crazy. I swear. But did any of you happen to see a big blue light thing?"

“There now was that so hard?” Tambia smiled, as the bird who had identified himself as Loki slowed his words down “pleased to meet you Loki” she said civilly, before heaving a sigh as he began running his words together again just after ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ she groaned internally, she could tell this guy was going to give her a headache. “Whoa there, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you got relax buddy—breathe” the speed of his words was taking her breath away “what is this the third degree?” she inquired quizzically “No one could possibly answer that many questions that fast” she insisted “--and of course we have water you goober, I mean without it we would all die” she wondered why he`d even ask such an obvious question “but seriously I didn’t catch even half of that” she sighed “I like to talk as much as anyone, but listening to you really wears me out” she paused “I think I come from somewhere else at least, but another world sounds really out there don’t you think?” she`d at least understood that much “honestly I think the mothers smiled upon me and delivered me here, and I’m not complaining, anywhere`s better than there” she grinned and turned toward dragon thinking that it was rude of the dragon to have ignored her like that, but she let it go.

“You mean that light that pulled me in? Yeah I saw it, it brought me here and apparently gabby here as well, so don’t worry you’re not crazy” she substantiated “what`s crazy is that we all came here like that. I wonder where we are anyway?” that was the first time she had honestly bothered to even ponder that “it can’t be a coincidence that we all had the same experience… can it?”

Rowan tilted her head at... Loki, was it? He certinally talked fast. She could catch most of what he was saying, but some o it was incomprehensable to her. She mentally thanked Rann for conditioning her to fast talkers.

Heh... Eat him... Not enough meat on him for that, and besides, he rally did look like a little falcon. An she for one would never touch a falcon.

"Well... Thanks for the help then. I'll just... Be going, I have to get back."

Rowan spread her wings up, took a quick step forward, snapped her tail against the ground and jumped. flapping down HARD and-

"OWW!"

SHe crashed into an awkward sideways position. How embarassing... It was a good thing that dragons don't blush. She snarled in anger; she had forgotten that her wing was broken.

Grace stood there, staring at her annoying hummingbird brother. He was flying back and forth.......  A hint that he was fustrated. She growled "HEY, BIRDIE! WHY DONT YOU USE YOUR BIG HEAD FOR ONCE!" Kinto glared at her and sneered back "AT LEAST I HAVE A BRAIN, STICK LEGS!" The siblings flew up to each other and tussled. As always, Kinto lost. If he was in his human form, that wouldn't have worked. 'WHO'S FAULT IS IT THAT WE WENT INTO THE PORTAL!"That made Kinto wiggle out of her grasp and flew off. Grace flew after him and spoke timidly "Sorry, Kinto. It is just difficult.... I-"Kinto turned to face her."YOU ARE SUCH AN IDIOT!"He shot from above her like at arrow and she fell to the ground. She fainted. And she landed on someone.

Kinto looked at his sister. She was bleeding on her left leg. I did that? how? I am just a tiny bird. He turned and looked at the others. It seems that Grace had landed on.... A tiny dragon? "Uh...........H-how is e-everyone t-today?"

Rowan looked between the blue one and the new birds in annoyance. "Look, I really appreciate you helping me, but I can take it from here on my own, okay"

It would be easier for her to travel alone. Especially if staying with these two meant arguing. Besides, more n irds had just shown up, and with that there were officially too many living things for her taste. Rowan turned around and ran back up beside the river. Whatever that portal was, it had to still be there, right? The amulet dangled wildly around her neck as she ran. There was no way she was going to stay here!

Sola smiled. "Well, its nice to meet you Qeo." She stood up, shuffling her wings closer to her. The jungle here was too think for her to get into the air, they would have to find a clearing or river; somewhere with open air. "The light monster you saw was something called a portal. It took you here." She informed Qeo, her tail flicking as she thought.

When Qeo asked about his mother, Sola's heart ached. She had a suspicion; one that she would have to figure out retentively. The longing was similar to the orphans she had met in the past. "I don't know where your mama is, but I promise that I will help you try to find her. How did you get separated?" 

Loki opened his mouth to retort, but stopped suddenly at the commotion Rowan was making. He turned his head, his demeanor changing. "I'msorryforwhatIsaid. Pleasedonotcallmegabby. Idon'texactlyhavegoodexperianceswithnamecalling."

He spread his wings. "Idonotknowthesebirds. Hummingbirdsareasubspecies, mylandisruledbybirdsofprey. " He then took to the air, fluttering over to Rowan. "Rowan, wait. Icanseeyoudon'tlikeothers, butdon'tknowwhereweare. Look, I'vebeenamisfitallmylife, butIknowthateveryoneneedsafriend. Idon'treallywanttogobacktomyworld, thereisnothingformethere, butifyouwanttogohome, atleastletushelpyou." His tone was quite, but he didn't stop Rowan. He left her path clear for her to leave, knowing he couldn't force anyone to do anything.

He then turned is attention to the newcomers, eyeing them with mild interest. "So, whoareyouguys? Andwhereareyoufrom, Idon'tknowyou." He paused, thinking. "Atleast, notfrommytribe." He finished.

The setting is flexible, and will change as the characters move from world to world.

 

Currently, the portals are leaving people in the middle of wild, untamed jungle. The forest around you is so thick, any sunlight that filters through is a dark, shadowy green. The weather here is unpredictable, raining one minuet and crushing its inhabitants with heat the next. To add to the treachery of the landscape, you are perched on the side of a mountain, challenging every step you make with crumbling stones and jutting cliffs. Beware of your surroundings, The Order of the Shard are not your only enemies here. This planet is inhabited by dinosaurs, as it seems the portals have dumped you into some sort of prehistoric earth.

 

Now, you have one decision; up, or down?

 

The space and time continuum has been thrown wildly out of order, causing portals from across the universe to rip open at seeming random times. These portals cause a violent reaction in the area around them, sucking in all near by beings through and dumping them into a new world, in a new time. It is up to you to figure out what is going on, and how to survive in this uninhabited and hostile world. However, you are not the only one in this journey. Creatures from all sorts of other worlds, some which you could not imagine, have been pulled to this planet as well.

 

The reasons for the disturbances are not as random as you may think. An organization, know as The Order of the Shards, or Shard for short, also inhabits this planet. They are led by a woman who goes by the name of Anthanaisia, who believes that her cause is the only way to save the universe. She is seeking out the seven split pieces of the Great Crystal, and with its power she plans to destroy all the current worlds and create a new, perfect one.

 

But the shards are well protected. It is up to you and the friends you make to find the even crystal shards. The Shard of Bravery, The Shard of Faith, The Shard of Sacrifice, The Shard of Will, The Shard of Passion, The Shard of Vitality, and The Shard of Hope. With these shards, you can restore the Great Crystal. With its power, you can stop Shard and return everybody to their proper times and dimensions.

 

But it is not as easy as collecting the pieces. You will be racing against time itself to find the shards before Anthanasia, or perhaps racing to gather them for her. These shards will test you in trails to prove you are truly worth the honor of possessing them. Will you be able to pass the ultimate tests of character?
