((This is quite a long read I hope you all like it :3 I hope I was accuret on Tuskarr cusems and such, enjoy))
Ko'nani stood at the entrance to his hut, a soft breeze swept across the land. He smiled, Feeling the coming of someone seeking wisdom, he though for a moment, One, no…two are coming to seek him. He lumbered down to the shore line, Ko'nani stood in wait for the visitor, He shook his massive shoulders and chook his head as he removed the snow that had collected on him as he scanned the sea, waiting. His brow arches as he spotted a lone sea lion with a large fish in its mouth. He let out a loud jolly laugh as the sea lion approached the shore morphing into the elf. Kri held the fish in ze’s arms as ze approached the large chieftain, Kri kneeled in front of him and spoke. “Kri hear talkie talk of wise Ko'nani, Kri come seek answers to many puzzles Kri have.” Ko'nani let out a bellowing guffaw, he smiles at ze and motioned for Kri to stand. ”We have been expecting you.” He said with a smile, “Come, follow me. “ He motioned to Kri as he graciously took the gift.
Kri followed he Tuskarr as he made his way through the village, a female approved him and he gave the fish to her, she turned to Kri smiling, She nodded and returned to a cooking fire close by. As they walked thought the quant village Kri noticed the Tuskarr staring quizzically at ze, he shamans taking particular notice of Kri. They made there way to an out cropping of stones, Ko'nani reached over and grabbed two fishing poles, turning to Kri he presented one to ze. “Come let us see that the waters tell us of you.” Kri imply nodded and followed him onto the out cropping and sat beside him. “Let your soul shine through as you fish, and we will receive the answers you seek.”
It was dusk when Kri caught ze’s first catch the first day, ze squeaked in excitement as ze reeled the line in. Kri giggles to find as he line was pulled from the water, there was not one but two fish on the line, Kri smiles brightly holding the two fish showing them too Ko'nani. He let out a bellowing laugh as he saw ze’s catch, “Ah me feelings were true, splendid..” Kri tilted ze’s head a bit puzzled, then let out a large squeak as he wrapped his massive arms around ze. Kri was completely caught off gourd be he Jolly Tuskarr, “What right bout?” Ze asked, He pulled back smiling as he patted Kri’s shoulder. “You are between the two, male yet female.” Kri giggled, “Learn all that from fishies Kri caught?” Ko'nani gave a solemn nod “Of course, the fish we catch tell us about ourselves..” Kri scratched ze’s head quite confused, he continued. “You see you put your being into fishing and you shall receive that witch you gave.” Kri’s eyes lit up, “Ah Kri get, Fishies tell of Kri’s puzzles in self, Feel like boy type but skin is girl type…so Fishies show?” Ko'nani nodded once more. “Yes, yes now you have it!” He bellowed. They continues to fish as the sun seemed to be endlessly hanging on the edge of the horizon, as Kri fisted each time ze would pull in the line there were two fish, Kri let out a small giggle each time this occurred. As the evening was finally upon them and the stars began to peek through the clouds in he northern sky, He stood and shook the collecting snow from his shoulders, he yanked his basket of fish up, hoisting it onto his shoulder, “Come night is upon us, let us share our bounty ..” He bellowed, Kri quickly nodded and yanked the large basket full of fish onto ze’s shoulders as best ze could, Ko'nani let out a hearty chuckle as he saw Kri trying to mimic his movements, Kri stumbled a bit wincing under the weight, with clinched teeth and a confident smile Kri followed Ko'nani up the slope to his hut. He stood for a moment glancing ove his shoulder, Kri stopped in ze’s tracks, he turned letting the basket slide from his shoulder guided by his hands, it hit the ground with a tremendous thud, Kri moved beside him following his motions placing ze’s basket beside his. He scooped up several large fish from the basket, Kri once again mimicking his actions, the both made there way into the hut.
As Kri entered the hut, ze noticed three other Tuskarr sitting around the fire, Smoke bellowed from it giving off an almost sweet smell that teased ze’s nose, “Come sit with us” Ko'nani said pointing to the empty spot left by the fire, Kri’s eyes darted to the others, The seemed to be preparing something, Grinding plants and bone into a mortar, Kri snapped ze’s fingers noticing the others were with out fish, Ze quickly returned to the basket of fish and drug it into the hut. Ko'nani looked at ze and gave a big grin, Kri smiled and looked at the group, “Kri has many fishies Kri give fishies to friend types, much yummys for all” The three looked up from there work and let out bellowing laughs as they smiled , Kri handed the fish in ze’s arms too one of the Tuskarr, then dug into the basket and distributing fish to the remaining Tuskarr, Kri finally sat in ze’s place two fish in hand, the others began to eat, Kri waited, Ko'nani noticed this “Eat be marry!” He said with a quick motion of his arm, Kri gave a nod “K k” ze squeaked, Kri quickly took one fish to ze’s lips and tore into it, The Tuskarr all stared blinking at Kri as ze devoured the fish raw, the all chuckled and removed theirs from the fire and joined Kri feasting on the fish ze had caught.
As they finished there mail the three Tuskarr returned to there work, Kri looked at them puzzled, occasionally catching a whiff, what ever it was it had a some what sweet smell too it at times, then a sharp spicy smell too it, Kri sat silent watching them, they spoke amongst themselves in there native tongue. They soon finished giving a nod to Ko'nani, He stood lumbering to Kri, he placed his large hand on ze’s shoulder dwarfing it, “Now, for the answers you seek, you must take a journey into your very inner self” Kri tilted ze’s head back gazing up at the towering figure, “What mean? Kri no get what talkie talk bout…” He smiled down at ze as the Tuskarr exited the hut handing he mortar to Ko'nani as they left, He moved to Kris left side and sat with a thud upon the ground, He looked at Kri, smiling he motioned for ze to take the mortar, Kri gingerly took it , as the full weight of the mortar was in ze’s hand ze quickly had to hold onto it tighter, its weight more then expected. “This will help you, allow you to delve into your twin spirits.” Ko'nani took a smll wig from the fire, still burning he placed it into the mortar, he then placed his hand under Kri’s and gingerly pushed ze’s hands up close to zes face, “Breathe deeply, and truly know your inner most self.” Kri did as ze was instructed, Kri soon found the hut warping disappearing around ze, Kri’s head swam, Kri felt weightless yet heavy, zes hole body tingles as the physical realm melted and evaporated before ze’s eyes.
Kri awoke to a voice, ”Wake up my child” it echoed through ze resonating Kri’s very core, Kri was unable to move, ze’s eyes darted around looking for the source, the landscape angulated around ze, the baron waists of the tundra gave way to sprouting seeds, trees burst fourth from the ground, Water began to flow at kri’s feet snaking its way into the trees, Kri was compelled o follow, Focusing on the water Kri was finally able to move. Kri begin to follow the water, Again the voice spoke calling to ze, “Come child…hurry we haven’t much time.” Kri started to sprint, then into a full on run, Kri purred feeling the wind whip past ze’s body, it swirled around ze embarrassing ze, it felt familiar it felt like home, Kri let out a roar as ze leapt into the air, fur engulfing ze’s body, Kri’s body twisting, reforming into a panthers. Kri landed in the shallow stream with a great splash, Kri shock the water from ze’s fur, ze’s hunkered down ze’s claws digging into the muddy earth, launching Kri fourth faster into the forest following the stream, splashing in the water ricocheting off the banks and bolder, Kri went faster, faster, the forest becoming a blur around ze. “Stop!” The voice boomed, Kri skidded to a halt digging ze’s paws into the soft earth, Kri gazed around the clearing, ze’s attention was turned o a faint glowing orb in the center of a crystal clear pool of water, The orb glow a bright emerald green as it begin to move, Kri sat and stared at the orb as it aproched the shore, Ze blinked sniffing the air curiously as it touched the tip of Kri’s nose, Kri’s body twisted as she and the orb began to change, Kri reverting to ze’s Elven form, staring in aw as the orb took a humanoid appearance, with a bright flash Kri shielded ze’s eyes. As the light dissipated Kri removed ze’s hand, gasping at the figure standing before ze, Kri smiled brightly and cooed, “Starshine!” Ze squealed as ze leaped into his arms, Kri nuzzled his strong smooth chest wrapping ze‘s arm around his neck. Kri looked at him as he began o speak, “My dear you have much work to do.”Kri looked up at him ze’s eyes deep pools of silver, the flakes of green dancing in ze’s eyes, “Oh Kri miss Pan so much” Kri said burring ze’s face inot his chest. “I know “ He said in a soft voice as he began to stroke Kri’s hair. He placed his hands on ze’s delicate shoulders, “I am here to aid you my dear, come sit there is much to discus and discover” He took Kri by the hand and guided ze o a large tree stump, he lifted ze onto it then himself, He sat facing Kri. ”Now my sweet lotus flower you must concentrate close your eyes, think of both of you that dwell with in.” Kri nodded closing ze’s eyes, as ze concentrated a feeling of warmth over took ze, the warmth spread through out ze’s body, it began o pulsate as the feeling became divided in ze. One part pulling out of ze, the other filling the space left by he warmth leaving. Pan smiled as ze kissed Kri’s forehead, “Very good my dear open your eyes” Kri opened ze’s eyes to see Pan smiling brightly at ze, “ Kri did good?” ze’s voice seemed to echo as if someone as repeating ze, The second voice a bit lower “Kri did good?” the voice said. The two blinked in unison turning there heads to face one another, They both gasped and stared at one another, Kri looked upon the figure, He was taller, with a broad chest and deep piercing eyes, They were the same yet different, Kri noticed his chest was flat, Kri smiled realizing it was her male form. Kri looked back to Pan, then o ze’s self, then back to Pan. It was Kri’s inner self, Kri reached out ze’s right arm to touch his flat chest, the both jumped as their skin touched. “Kri this is you are both apart of one another. Together yt divided, that is what I was meant to show you. I am here to aid you in truly becoming the twin soul you are meant to be. Both shale work together as one.” The both looked at Pan, smiling brightly as they both lunged for him wrapping their arms around him showering him with kisses. Pan laughed wrapping an arm around each of them as the all tumbled to the ground, “Well I see you both agree on one thing already. “ He said with a devious smirk. The both sat up blushing their cheeks a deep crimson. Pan propped himself up on his elbows, “Now you two must learn to be one, yet yourself.” He sat up, and placed a hand on each of them, the both shivered, “Now turn to one another and place your palms together.” They did as they were instructed and turned to one another, then hesitantly placing their hands to one another, The both shivered a shock of energy flowed from their hands down their spines. There minded were flooded with the thoughts and feelings of the other, they both jerked away rubbing there foreheads, They looked to Pan whimpering, “That is what you must work on, being able to unify your thoughts and feelings my dears. Try again this time clear your minds think focus on one solitary thought.”
The two looked at Pan then at one another, The both smiled and nodded, once again as they brought there hands together a jolt traveled through each. But this time they focused on a solitary thought, Their love for Pan, They both cued as there minds were filled with thoughts of him their hearts beating in unison. He begin to speak to her his words echoing in her mind, “We really still have many hearts for Pan yep, yep?” She giggled, “yep, yep, but Kri must not forget Starshine left us…” The both whimpered, she added “But We have Mr. Kiki now and butterflies for him, that growing into hearts.” He smiled, “Mhmm, we do, But what if Pan come back? Pan promise that Pan stay forever.” ‘Kri Knows , But Starshine might not …Even with many hearts. Kri must live for Kri, If Starshine return then does. Talkie talk bout that puzzles when it in now tick tocks not before.” He broke contact wrapping his arms around her, feeling his embarrass she did the same throwing her arms around him. Tears filled their eyes, as they held one another, she nuzzled him his familiar scent filling her nose. She squeaked as she spoke “Kri have Kri…both must live for Kri be all sunshines.” They both pulled back nodding in unison, they turned to Pan holding one another’s hand. They spoke together, “Kri must be both, hearts for self then for others. Kri must Live way Kri needs” Pan smiled solemnly as her brought his hands to each of there cheeks and stroked them softly. ‘Very good my dears…I must leave you both have much to do. Live your life, and all will come in time.” His body began to glow and in a tremendous flash of light he as gone. The two looked at one another again, smiling they hugged once more. “we always have each other, hearts for self” He smiled and held her as they both lye on the cool earth, they looked into the sky holding one another.
The world began to melt once more, shattering all at once replaced by piercing screams, the world rushed back into existence, Kri was in the hut once more, clanging of metal and roars filled the air. Kri leapt to ze’s feet, rushing to the doorways ze’s eyes darted about wildly as ze saw the creatures, foul snarling beasts covered in fur, swinging their brutish weapons at the Tuskarr who were defending the village He spoke “Shall we?” She nodded. Kri stepped into the fray looking for Ko'nani, He was aiding several children inot a hut, his back turned towards the fighting, Kri’s eyes darted over as ze saw several of the drooling beasts rushing towards him. Kri ran towards them leaping into the air morphing into ze’s feline form as ze landed, pinning the lead creature only a few feet from Ko'nani. The children streaked and Ko'nani turned to se Kri tearing at the armor clad monster, the rest of the pack rushed Kri bringing there weapons down on Kris hide tearing at ze’s flesh, Kri roared in pain as they hung on ze like leached gouging at ze’s hide. Kri let out a thunderous roar as ze shifted to the form of a large dire bear, lifting the creatures into the air and flinging them as if they were rag dolls. As Kri’s weight came down ze landed a blow on the still pinned creature caving in it’s cheat plate, the others howled in anger as they rushed at Kri again. Kri morphing into ze’s feline form once again ze hunkered down ready for the impending onslaught, when Ko'nani rushed at one of them ramming it, he sinds it flying into a near by outcropping of rocks with a bone shattering thud, the other two swing at Kri, Kri’s leaps out of the way there weapons tangle into one another as they hit the ground. Kri lunges at the two clawing at the two, One raises its weapon above its head to strike, Kri springs up tearing at it’s throat, The second stood in horror as Kri turns, ze’s muzzle smeared in blood, The monster dropped its weapon and began to run, Kri let out a tremendous roar that echoed through the hills. The remaining creatures ceased their onslaught stunned at the sound, they yelped and began to run from the village. The Tuskarr turn to Kri and let out bellowing cheers. Kri sat and licked ze’s wounds, Ko'nani approached ze and stood beside ze. “Very good!” He said hole heartedly as he brought his hand down onto Kris shoulders, Kri shook ze’s head morphing back to ze’s Elven form, Kri looked up at him smiling as ze stood. “Kri do good?” ze asked wiping the blood from ze’s mouth. Ko'nani let out a thunderous cheer “Indeed! We owe you a large debt of gratitude for saving my old hide.” he said with a chuckle. Kri beamed with accomplishment. “Come let us rejoice in our victory this day, You twin spirit shall be marked as a member of my family!” He smiled. Kri’s eyes lit up “Kri be family ?” ze squeaked, He laughed “Yes, You have proven yourself in my heart! First with your display of generosity and now with your curage!” Come” He motioned for Kri to follow him, then motioned to one of the Tuskarr from the night before. They returned to his hut and the other Tuskarr soon joined them, with a large leather wrapping in hand. “An good, good, Lye down here. “ He patted a bed roll that he had placed down. Kri did as ze was told , the second Tuskarr joined him sitting to ze’s left side, he unrolled the leather casing, Kri looked over seeing verous tools that looked like they were for engraving tools, Kri looked up to Ko'nani, ze’s face filled with confusion and concern, He smiled down at ze reassuring Kri,” The process may hurt but then you shall be my Kin.” He placed his hand in Kri’s ze cooed. “Now hold your arm out, so we might begin.” Kri did as ze was told, th wooden tools placed upon ze’s skin, The second Tuskarr spoke, “Project your inner most self and it shall be raveled to me.” Kri nodded closing ze’s eyes, Kri’s mind began to wonder, thoughts of fish, of Pan, of the two within ze, thoughts of family. The sharp edges of the tool landed digging into ze’s skin, Kri winced a bit but stayed steady keeping ze’s mind on the wonderful things in ze’s life. The tool made a tapping as the second tool struck the one pressed against ze’s skin. Kri could feel it as it moved along ze’s flesh, time seemed to melt away as the process continued into the night. Kri entered an almost euphoric state as the Tuskarr did his work, the process was finaly down Kri shifted not feeling the tool on ze’s skin, Kri looked up to Ko'nani then to the other. “It is finisted. “ Ko'nani said solemnly. Kri rased ze’s left arm it was now covered with markings a rich black ink under ze’s skin, Kr squealed with delight as ze hopped up and hugged the crafter and then Ko'nani. “So pretty Kri said as ze examined the Tuskarr’s work. The Tuskarr smiled as he rolled up his tools and left the hut. Ko'nani looked to Kri “Now you are truly my family” He said, “But you still have much work if you are to be held amongst our people, much learning and growing to do. To truly be honored with the Tuskarr is something that comes in time” Kri nodded and flung ze’s arms around his massive shoulders hugging him tightly. Ko'nani merely chuckled, “Now return to your friends, I shall see you in a day or two, Remember you are a part of my family now and you must carry yourself as such.” Kri replied in a coo “Kri will Papa” Kri kissed his whisker filled cheek, Ze stood turning to the door, before ze left ze turned to him. “Kri make Papa Proud.” He smiled his cheeks turning a slight red.
Kri left the village that night holding ze’s had high, Kr returned to Sormwind by morning admiring ze’s new markings, Kri noticed a large fish on ze’s forearm that flowed into two images of a bear and a panther intertwined with one another, an image of a star just above the elbow, and the larges mark Ko'nani’s mark, Images all tied together by the sea. Kri beamed at ze’s accomplishments as ze strode thought the streets of stormwind , Kri felt strong, proud.
Ko'nani stood at the entrance to his hut, a soft breeze swept across the land. He smiled, Feeling the coming of someone seeking wisdom, he though for a moment, One, no…two are coming to seek him. He lumbered down to the shore line, Ko'nani stood in wait for the visitor, He shook his massive shoulders and chook his head as he removed the snow that had collected on him as he scanned the sea, waiting. His brow arches as he spotted a lone sea lion with a large fish in its mouth. He let out a loud jolly laugh as the sea lion approached the shore morphing into the elf. Kri held the fish in ze’s arms as ze approached the large chieftain, Kri kneeled in front of him and spoke. “Kri hear talkie talk of wise Ko'nani, Kri come seek answers to many puzzles Kri have.” Ko'nani let out a bellowing guffaw, he smiles at ze and motioned for Kri to stand. ”We have been expecting you.” He said with a smile, “Come, follow me. “ He motioned to Kri as he graciously took the gift.
Kri followed he Tuskarr as he made his way through the village, a female approved him and he gave the fish to her, she turned to Kri smiling, She nodded and returned to a cooking fire close by. As they walked thought the quant village Kri noticed the Tuskarr staring quizzically at ze, he shamans taking particular notice of Kri. They made there way to an out cropping of stones, Ko'nani reached over and grabbed two fishing poles, turning to Kri he presented one to ze. “Come let us see that the waters tell us of you.” Kri imply nodded and followed him onto the out cropping and sat beside him. “Let your soul shine through as you fish, and we will receive the answers you seek.”
It was dusk when Kri caught ze’s first catch the first day, ze squeaked in excitement as ze reeled the line in. Kri giggles to find as he line was pulled from the water, there was not one but two fish on the line, Kri smiles brightly holding the two fish showing them too Ko'nani. He let out a bellowing laugh as he saw ze’s catch, “Ah me feelings were true, splendid..” Kri tilted ze’s head a bit puzzled, then let out a large squeak as he wrapped his massive arms around ze. Kri was completely caught off gourd be he Jolly Tuskarr, “What right bout?” Ze asked, He pulled back smiling as he patted Kri’s shoulder. “You are between the two, male yet female.” Kri giggled, “Learn all that from fishies Kri caught?” Ko'nani gave a solemn nod “Of course, the fish we catch tell us about ourselves..” Kri scratched ze’s head quite confused, he continued. “You see you put your being into fishing and you shall receive that witch you gave.” Kri’s eyes lit up, “Ah Kri get, Fishies tell of Kri’s puzzles in self, Feel like boy type but skin is girl type…so Fishies show?” Ko'nani nodded once more. “Yes, yes now you have it!” He bellowed. They continues to fish as the sun seemed to be endlessly hanging on the edge of the horizon, as Kri fisted each time ze would pull in the line there were two fish, Kri let out a small giggle each time this occurred. As the evening was finally upon them and the stars began to peek through the clouds in he northern sky, He stood and shook the collecting snow from his shoulders, he yanked his basket of fish up, hoisting it onto his shoulder, “Come night is upon us, let us share our bounty ..” He bellowed, Kri quickly nodded and yanked the large basket full of fish onto ze’s shoulders as best ze could, Ko'nani let out a hearty chuckle as he saw Kri trying to mimic his movements, Kri stumbled a bit wincing under the weight, with clinched teeth and a confident smile Kri followed Ko'nani up the slope to his hut. He stood for a moment glancing ove his shoulder, Kri stopped in ze’s tracks, he turned letting the basket slide from his shoulder guided by his hands, it hit the ground with a tremendous thud, Kri moved beside him following his motions placing ze’s basket beside his. He scooped up several large fish from the basket, Kri once again mimicking his actions, the both made there way into the hut.
As Kri entered the hut, ze noticed three other Tuskarr sitting around the fire, Smoke bellowed from it giving off an almost sweet smell that teased ze’s nose, “Come sit with us” Ko'nani said pointing to the empty spot left by the fire, Kri’s eyes darted to the others, The seemed to be preparing something, Grinding plants and bone into a mortar, Kri snapped ze’s fingers noticing the others were with out fish, Ze quickly returned to the basket of fish and drug it into the hut. Ko'nani looked at ze and gave a big grin, Kri smiled and looked at the group, “Kri has many fishies Kri give fishies to friend types, much yummys for all” The three looked up from there work and let out bellowing laughs as they smiled , Kri handed the fish in ze’s arms too one of the Tuskarr, then dug into the basket and distributing fish to the remaining Tuskarr, Kri finally sat in ze’s place two fish in hand, the others began to eat, Kri waited, Ko'nani noticed this “Eat be marry!” He said with a quick motion of his arm, Kri gave a nod “K k” ze squeaked, Kri quickly took one fish to ze’s lips and tore into it, The Tuskarr all stared blinking at Kri as ze devoured the fish raw, the all chuckled and removed theirs from the fire and joined Kri feasting on the fish ze had caught.
As they finished there mail the three Tuskarr returned to there work, Kri looked at them puzzled, occasionally catching a whiff, what ever it was it had a some what sweet smell too it at times, then a sharp spicy smell too it, Kri sat silent watching them, they spoke amongst themselves in there native tongue. They soon finished giving a nod to Ko'nani, He stood lumbering to Kri, he placed his large hand on ze’s shoulder dwarfing it, “Now, for the answers you seek, you must take a journey into your very inner self” Kri tilted ze’s head back gazing up at the towering figure, “What mean? Kri no get what talkie talk bout…” He smiled down at ze as the Tuskarr exited the hut handing he mortar to Ko'nani as they left, He moved to Kris left side and sat with a thud upon the ground, He looked at Kri, smiling he motioned for ze to take the mortar, Kri gingerly took it , as the full weight of the mortar was in ze’s hand ze quickly had to hold onto it tighter, its weight more then expected. “This will help you, allow you to delve into your twin spirits.” Ko'nani took a smll wig from the fire, still burning he placed it into the mortar, he then placed his hand under Kri’s and gingerly pushed ze’s hands up close to zes face, “Breathe deeply, and truly know your inner most self.” Kri did as ze was instructed, Kri soon found the hut warping disappearing around ze, Kri’s head swam, Kri felt weightless yet heavy, zes hole body tingles as the physical realm melted and evaporated before ze’s eyes.
Kri awoke to a voice, ”Wake up my child” it echoed through ze resonating Kri’s very core, Kri was unable to move, ze’s eyes darted around looking for the source, the landscape angulated around ze, the baron waists of the tundra gave way to sprouting seeds, trees burst fourth from the ground, Water began to flow at kri’s feet snaking its way into the trees, Kri was compelled o follow, Focusing on the water Kri was finally able to move. Kri begin to follow the water, Again the voice spoke calling to ze, “Come child…hurry we haven’t much time.” Kri started to sprint, then into a full on run, Kri purred feeling the wind whip past ze’s body, it swirled around ze embarrassing ze, it felt familiar it felt like home, Kri let out a roar as ze leapt into the air, fur engulfing ze’s body, Kri’s body twisting, reforming into a panthers. Kri landed in the shallow stream with a great splash, Kri shock the water from ze’s fur, ze’s hunkered down ze’s claws digging into the muddy earth, launching Kri fourth faster into the forest following the stream, splashing in the water ricocheting off the banks and bolder, Kri went faster, faster, the forest becoming a blur around ze. “Stop!” The voice boomed, Kri skidded to a halt digging ze’s paws into the soft earth, Kri gazed around the clearing, ze’s attention was turned o a faint glowing orb in the center of a crystal clear pool of water, The orb glow a bright emerald green as it begin to move, Kri sat and stared at the orb as it aproched the shore, Ze blinked sniffing the air curiously as it touched the tip of Kri’s nose, Kri’s body twisted as she and the orb began to change, Kri reverting to ze’s Elven form, staring in aw as the orb took a humanoid appearance, with a bright flash Kri shielded ze’s eyes. As the light dissipated Kri removed ze’s hand, gasping at the figure standing before ze, Kri smiled brightly and cooed, “Starshine!” Ze squealed as ze leaped into his arms, Kri nuzzled his strong smooth chest wrapping ze‘s arm around his neck. Kri looked at him as he began o speak, “My dear you have much work to do.”Kri looked up at him ze’s eyes deep pools of silver, the flakes of green dancing in ze’s eyes, “Oh Kri miss Pan so much” Kri said burring ze’s face inot his chest. “I know “ He said in a soft voice as he began to stroke Kri’s hair. He placed his hands on ze’s delicate shoulders, “I am here to aid you my dear, come sit there is much to discus and discover” He took Kri by the hand and guided ze o a large tree stump, he lifted ze onto it then himself, He sat facing Kri. ”Now my sweet lotus flower you must concentrate close your eyes, think of both of you that dwell with in.” Kri nodded closing ze’s eyes, as ze concentrated a feeling of warmth over took ze, the warmth spread through out ze’s body, it began o pulsate as the feeling became divided in ze. One part pulling out of ze, the other filling the space left by he warmth leaving. Pan smiled as ze kissed Kri’s forehead, “Very good my dear open your eyes” Kri opened ze’s eyes to see Pan smiling brightly at ze, “ Kri did good?” ze’s voice seemed to echo as if someone as repeating ze, The second voice a bit lower “Kri did good?” the voice said. The two blinked in unison turning there heads to face one another, They both gasped and stared at one another, Kri looked upon the figure, He was taller, with a broad chest and deep piercing eyes, They were the same yet different, Kri noticed his chest was flat, Kri smiled realizing it was her male form. Kri looked back to Pan, then o ze’s self, then back to Pan. It was Kri’s inner self, Kri reached out ze’s right arm to touch his flat chest, the both jumped as their skin touched. “Kri this is you are both apart of one another. Together yt divided, that is what I was meant to show you. I am here to aid you in truly becoming the twin soul you are meant to be. Both shale work together as one.” The both looked at Pan, smiling brightly as they both lunged for him wrapping their arms around him showering him with kisses. Pan laughed wrapping an arm around each of them as the all tumbled to the ground, “Well I see you both agree on one thing already. “ He said with a devious smirk. The both sat up blushing their cheeks a deep crimson. Pan propped himself up on his elbows, “Now you two must learn to be one, yet yourself.” He sat up, and placed a hand on each of them, the both shivered, “Now turn to one another and place your palms together.” They did as they were instructed and turned to one another, then hesitantly placing their hands to one another, The both shivered a shock of energy flowed from their hands down their spines. There minded were flooded with the thoughts and feelings of the other, they both jerked away rubbing there foreheads, They looked to Pan whimpering, “That is what you must work on, being able to unify your thoughts and feelings my dears. Try again this time clear your minds think focus on one solitary thought.”
The two looked at Pan then at one another, The both smiled and nodded, once again as they brought there hands together a jolt traveled through each. But this time they focused on a solitary thought, Their love for Pan, They both cued as there minds were filled with thoughts of him their hearts beating in unison. He begin to speak to her his words echoing in her mind, “We really still have many hearts for Pan yep, yep?” She giggled, “yep, yep, but Kri must not forget Starshine left us…” The both whimpered, she added “But We have Mr. Kiki now and butterflies for him, that growing into hearts.” He smiled, “Mhmm, we do, But what if Pan come back? Pan promise that Pan stay forever.” ‘Kri Knows , But Starshine might not …Even with many hearts. Kri must live for Kri, If Starshine return then does. Talkie talk bout that puzzles when it in now tick tocks not before.” He broke contact wrapping his arms around her, feeling his embarrass she did the same throwing her arms around him. Tears filled their eyes, as they held one another, she nuzzled him his familiar scent filling her nose. She squeaked as she spoke “Kri have Kri…both must live for Kri be all sunshines.” They both pulled back nodding in unison, they turned to Pan holding one another’s hand. They spoke together, “Kri must be both, hearts for self then for others. Kri must Live way Kri needs” Pan smiled solemnly as her brought his hands to each of there cheeks and stroked them softly. ‘Very good my dears…I must leave you both have much to do. Live your life, and all will come in time.” His body began to glow and in a tremendous flash of light he as gone. The two looked at one another again, smiling they hugged once more. “we always have each other, hearts for self” He smiled and held her as they both lye on the cool earth, they looked into the sky holding one another.
The world began to melt once more, shattering all at once replaced by piercing screams, the world rushed back into existence, Kri was in the hut once more, clanging of metal and roars filled the air. Kri leapt to ze’s feet, rushing to the doorways ze’s eyes darted about wildly as ze saw the creatures, foul snarling beasts covered in fur, swinging their brutish weapons at the Tuskarr who were defending the village He spoke “Shall we?” She nodded. Kri stepped into the fray looking for Ko'nani, He was aiding several children inot a hut, his back turned towards the fighting, Kri’s eyes darted over as ze saw several of the drooling beasts rushing towards him. Kri ran towards them leaping into the air morphing into ze’s feline form as ze landed, pinning the lead creature only a few feet from Ko'nani. The children streaked and Ko'nani turned to se Kri tearing at the armor clad monster, the rest of the pack rushed Kri bringing there weapons down on Kris hide tearing at ze’s flesh, Kri roared in pain as they hung on ze like leached gouging at ze’s hide. Kri let out a thunderous roar as ze shifted to the form of a large dire bear, lifting the creatures into the air and flinging them as if they were rag dolls. As Kri’s weight came down ze landed a blow on the still pinned creature caving in it’s cheat plate, the others howled in anger as they rushed at Kri again. Kri morphing into ze’s feline form once again ze hunkered down ready for the impending onslaught, when Ko'nani rushed at one of them ramming it, he sinds it flying into a near by outcropping of rocks with a bone shattering thud, the other two swing at Kri, Kri’s leaps out of the way there weapons tangle into one another as they hit the ground. Kri lunges at the two clawing at the two, One raises its weapon above its head to strike, Kri springs up tearing at it’s throat, The second stood in horror as Kri turns, ze’s muzzle smeared in blood, The monster dropped its weapon and began to run, Kri let out a tremendous roar that echoed through the hills. The remaining creatures ceased their onslaught stunned at the sound, they yelped and began to run from the village. The Tuskarr turn to Kri and let out bellowing cheers. Kri sat and licked ze’s wounds, Ko'nani approached ze and stood beside ze. “Very good!” He said hole heartedly as he brought his hand down onto Kris shoulders, Kri shook ze’s head morphing back to ze’s Elven form, Kri looked up at him smiling as ze stood. “Kri do good?” ze asked wiping the blood from ze’s mouth. Ko'nani let out a thunderous cheer “Indeed! We owe you a large debt of gratitude for saving my old hide.” he said with a chuckle. Kri beamed with accomplishment. “Come let us rejoice in our victory this day, You twin spirit shall be marked as a member of my family!” He smiled. Kri’s eyes lit up “Kri be family ?” ze squeaked, He laughed “Yes, You have proven yourself in my heart! First with your display of generosity and now with your curage!” Come” He motioned for Kri to follow him, then motioned to one of the Tuskarr from the night before. They returned to his hut and the other Tuskarr soon joined them, with a large leather wrapping in hand. “An good, good, Lye down here. “ He patted a bed roll that he had placed down. Kri did as ze was told , the second Tuskarr joined him sitting to ze’s left side, he unrolled the leather casing, Kri looked over seeing verous tools that looked like they were for engraving tools, Kri looked up to Ko'nani, ze’s face filled with confusion and concern, He smiled down at ze reassuring Kri,” The process may hurt but then you shall be my Kin.” He placed his hand in Kri’s ze cooed. “Now hold your arm out, so we might begin.” Kri did as ze was told, th wooden tools placed upon ze’s skin, The second Tuskarr spoke, “Project your inner most self and it shall be raveled to me.” Kri nodded closing ze’s eyes, Kri’s mind began to wonder, thoughts of fish, of Pan, of the two within ze, thoughts of family. The sharp edges of the tool landed digging into ze’s skin, Kri winced a bit but stayed steady keeping ze’s mind on the wonderful things in ze’s life. The tool made a tapping as the second tool struck the one pressed against ze’s skin. Kri could feel it as it moved along ze’s flesh, time seemed to melt away as the process continued into the night. Kri entered an almost euphoric state as the Tuskarr did his work, the process was finaly down Kri shifted not feeling the tool on ze’s skin, Kri looked up to Ko'nani then to the other. “It is finisted. “ Ko'nani said solemnly. Kri rased ze’s left arm it was now covered with markings a rich black ink under ze’s skin, Kr squealed with delight as ze hopped up and hugged the crafter and then Ko'nani. “So pretty Kri said as ze examined the Tuskarr’s work. The Tuskarr smiled as he rolled up his tools and left the hut. Ko'nani looked to Kri “Now you are truly my family” He said, “But you still have much work if you are to be held amongst our people, much learning and growing to do. To truly be honored with the Tuskarr is something that comes in time” Kri nodded and flung ze’s arms around his massive shoulders hugging him tightly. Ko'nani merely chuckled, “Now return to your friends, I shall see you in a day or two, Remember you are a part of my family now and you must carry yourself as such.” Kri replied in a coo “Kri will Papa” Kri kissed his whisker filled cheek, Ze stood turning to the door, before ze left ze turned to him. “Kri make Papa Proud.” He smiled his cheeks turning a slight red.
Kri left the village that night holding ze’s had high, Kr returned to Sormwind by morning admiring ze’s new markings, Kri noticed a large fish on ze’s forearm that flowed into two images of a bear and a panther intertwined with one another, an image of a star just above the elbow, and the larges mark Ko'nani’s mark, Images all tied together by the sea. Kri beamed at ze’s accomplishments as ze strode thought the streets of stormwind , Kri felt strong, proud.
Still very nice.))
