A Star In The Darkness

Selenity · March 2017

Idly twitching his tail as he pads in, Orion graces those here with his presence.

The Moonhart Mother Tree.

Singing a hauntingly beautiful melody, Miakoda, Maiden of the Moonhart, stands here. Towering high

above is the Moonhart Mother Tree, stretching her enormous branches heavenwards. Wreathed about in

vines, an elegant altar shaped from shining silver stands here, surrounded by a faintly crimson aura.

Gleaming with a silver lambency, a slender tree grows here, its bark and boughs displaying the

faces of the dead. There are 2 small screech owls here. Covered in bone armour, a red fox stands

here, cautiously listening to the surroundings. There are 6 armoured owls here. An illustrated

canvas hangs in the air here, supported by silvery ribbons. There are 19 centaur hunters here. There

are 2 red foxes here. There are 3 armoured badgers here. There are 2 striped badgers here. A moon

maiden floats here, her form swathed in glowing cloth. Glowing gently with a soft blue light, a

delicate dreamcatcher has been permanently hung here. Covered in bone armour, watching you warily, a

silver-furred vixen sniffs the air. There are 2 silver-furred vixens here. There are 2 palm sigils

here. A mature hornbeam tree stands proudly here. There are 2 fierce timberwolves here. Reaching up

as high as the eye can see looms the awesome presence of a living totem. Testing the heft of his

klangaxe, Adasser, Wolverine's Mask assesses his surroundings with glacial blue eyes. There are 4

hamsters in a cage-wheel here. A small, speckled hedgehog sniffs curiously at its surroundings.

Leaping about after its shadow, a curious young kitten playfully wanders about here. There are 3

green parakeets here. There are 3 frisky puppies here. There are 3 cheesecake platters here. A

majestic, white stag with alabaster wings wanders about here, his head held regally. A group of bags

of meat scraps lies here in a pile. A group of bags of oats lies here in a pile. August even in

youth, an argent strix gazes curiously about here. Shrouded by an aura of mist and modulating stars,

a winged unicorn stands here with a serene countenance. Orion, the Celestial Cat, idly flicks his

tail as he surveys his surroundings. Rhenith, Dancer of Spring is here. She wields an athame dagger

in her left hand. The soothing aroma of healing herbs suffuses the air around a laurel-skinned

herbalist who lingers here, examining their surroundings curiously. Garbed in a shroud of shifting

moonfire, a Ward of the Silver Trinity stands guard, eyes blackened with storm clouds.

You see exits leading north, south, and through a vined stairway.

Somewhat transparent himself, Orion is surrounded by a faintly visible mist filled with twinkling

stars, the hallmark of those who belong to the Navigator. Aside from the mist, milky white fur

covers his sleek, graceful body from the tip of his tail to just around his pert pink nose. Six long

white whiskers jut out from each side of his face, drooping slightly downwards, creating an odd

visual effect as the cat keeps his head permanently tilted back, likely to peer down his nose at his

surroundings as cats are want to do. Above the whiskers, crystalline blue eyes maintain a steady,

unblinking gaze which the cat directs at one thing and then another. Other than moving his head as

his attention dictates, the only other major movement he constantly displays is the idle twitching

of his long tail.

Orion, the Celestial Cat almost glows with nearly god-like power.

He weighs about 10 pounds.

He is loyal to the Divine Order of Darvellan, the Navigator.

You cannot see what Orion, the Celestial Cat is holding.

It has the following aliases: orion, cat.

A squirrel skitters through the treetops somewhere above.

You blink.

You have emoted: Selenity looks curious at Orion, the Celestial Cat, tilting her head.

Orion, the Celestial Cat sits on his hind legs, his tail flicking idly over his feet as he looks

about.

Calor's eyes widen in disbelief as he softly exclaims, "Whoa."

Calor Hartfire asks, "Who does that belong to?"

Calor stares implacably at Orion, the Celestial Cat.

Eyes almost instantly getting glassy, you ask Orion, the Celestial Cat, "Are you... the Lord

Navigator's?"

Tristanna Myeras, Keeper of the Maiden's Path says, "Loyal to Darvellan."

Orion, the Celestial Cat dips his head towards Selenity, nodding it slowly.

Calor Hartfire says to Orion, the Celestial Cat, "You're a gorgeous cat!"

Calor pets Orion, the Celestial Cat ingratiatingly.

Orion, the Celestial Cat meows endearingly at Calor.

Eamane arrives from the south.

Drifting upon argent wings, a silvery aura follows in the wake of a youthful strix as it manifests

from the south.

Raising her hand in greeting, Eamane says "Hello!"

Instantly losing her childish demeanor, a tear streaming down her cheek, you ask Orion, the

Celestial Cat, "It's an honour to meet you, then. What brings you here?"

Eamane Somnius says, "So is this where the fun is?"

Calor beams at Eamane and nods, proffering a chipper "Yep!" to finalize his position on the matter.

Orion, the Celestial Cat eyes Selenity levelly, his tail flicking slowly, idly.

Rhenith crouches down, looking to Orion, the Celestial Cat with curiosity.

The sound of shifting feathers precedes a winged unicorn of moonfire and starlit mist giving his

wings a light ruffle. A single stellar feather gets loose and falls. It immediately begins to turn

into tiny motes of silver and starlight, which float back into the unicorn's form. Before the

feather has a chance to reach the ground, it is gone.

The sun reaches the zenith of the firmament, pausing in his quest to allow the land to bask in his

shining golden rays.

Orion, the Celestial Cat says, "Follow me, then, if you would know."

Apparently bored with events in this particular location, Orion pads quietly away.

You cannot see that being here.
