Slowly, Kiru padded along the forest trail, his ears perked up as he scanned the surroundings, his pace slow since atop his back he carried Yin and he really didn't want to drop her, for despite his tough better-than-you act... he really did care for her. Reason why he had accepted to the young kit's strange demand,
[Tell me again young one, WHY is you want to do this?] his mental voice, proyected into Yin's mind was harsh, but she knew better.
"I... want to try for myself, I want to learn," she grasped the pendant around her neck and leered at the demon Deaka as he turned his head leer her back, "Learning is good, isn't it? Besides, I'm better than all that, I want to return a favour and be at peace." She though about Taka too suddenly, and Kapu came to her mind, making her hiss, ears flat against her head. OOooooooh, that stupid shadow! Always in the way!
The Daeka rolled his eyes, shaking his head from side to side as he noticed this,
[It's your call, little one. I'll assist you.... for now.] Snorting slowly, he looked around once more, searching for the vegetation. Upon finding certain ones, he would lower his head, snap twigs, vines, leaves and bark, then he'd turn his head and offer it to Yin, who'd put it all in a bag she had been carrying,
[Carefull... don't break anything or it'll not be of use.] He felt the kit snort in protest, making him smirk.
The recollecting of plants, twigs... and even stones continued on for more than an hour. It was past mid day when Kiru nodded to himself, taking Yin back to their backyard, letting her slide to the ground under the shade of a tree as he curled up around her, eyeing the bag she still held, then nodding slightly.
[Take everything out now... seperate them in groups, to make two seperate ones.] He didn't haveto explain what he meant by this, Yin seemed to know perfectly well what the Daeka had been talking about and he watched her comply,
[Good, the feathers now are needed too.]
Yin nodded as she flapped both her wings twice, forcing several feather to slowly glide down to the floor, "Done," she murmured under her breath as she grabbed all four feathers that had dropped down, then looked up to her 'teacher', waiting new instructions.
[Good. I shall guide you through the making of the first one, you can then do the other one on your own,] there was no arguing from the kit's part, thus the dark Daeka gathered one of the stones, two feathers, a few leaves, vines and bark, placing one paw over the neat pile,
[Watch now,] skowly, he lifted his paw up from the ground, letting it hover over the pile, and a dark aura surrounded it, the objects beneath it floating, the paw pulling them up into the air till they were floating half a meter off the ground. Once this was done, the Daeka retrieved his paw, the aura never fading as he straightened up, sitting on his hind legs in orderto use both paws for this,
[This is the hard bit now, you must concentrate on the one you want to give it to, and what you are about to do for it to work. Otherwise.... it won't,] this side, he one paw to the right of the floating objects, the other on the other side, his eyes glowing red as his tail touched Yin's forehead, the whole of his body glowing with a dark aura.
Nothing happened at first. But after a minute or so, the stone began to glow, the hardness around it melting away to reveal a purely yellow cristal, the vines slowly creeping around it in several places, hardening till the became almost rock like, the leaves attatching to the vines, an almost metallic look to them. Yin watched this with fastination as she thought about Taka, like Kiru had instructed.
A soft growl emited from the Daeka's throat as the mess of bojects slowly became one.... the bark now taking form, attatching itself on the bottom left hand corner of the strange pendant like object till it looked like a fox curling around a yellow orb, vines of crystal and leaves of metallic looking material adorning the sides. Both black feathers then attached themselves on the top of the pendant, the process complete, pendant droping to the floor as the Daeka's aura died around him,
[Your turn now thus,] came his harsh mental voice as he retrieved his tail, curling it around himself as he watched the kit.
Yin nodded slowly, crawling closer to the remaining pile of vines, bark, feathers, leaves and stone on the floor, "Fine..." closing her eyes, she tried to concentrate and following the process Kiru had before her, she extended her paw forward, opening her yes as she did so, one yes shining a dark purple, the other a bright yellow. Very slowly, little by little, the objects floated up, just like they had done with Kiru, and thus after a long process, they also began to merge just like with the previous pendant, except this time, the stone turned into a dark purple one, and the bark attached on the bottom resemveled a dragon instead of a fox.
Lettng the new pendant drop to the floor, the young fox kit panted, almost as if the making of it had taken a lot of strength out of her, sweat drenching her furr. She raised her now once more silver colored eyes to look at Kiru, who said nothing, but nodded in approval, "Help me take them to the ones?" she let out her words between harsh intakes of breath. Again the Daeka nodded, and so, Yin grabbed both the pendants in her pwas before climbing up onto his back, resting against himas they both padded off into the distant.
