Eryk turned his head from side to side, trying to locate the sudden noise. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't want to stay and find out either. He and Tish could go hide under that root he had found earlier, and his parents would be able to find them once they flew back.

Giving Tish a nudge, Eryk and his sibling dashed out of the nest and through the snow. Stretch and her family turned to watch them go, but didn't seem all too concerned. When Eryk and his sister reached the root, he let Tish squeeze under it first as she was smaller, and he followed her. Then they waited to see what the cause of the sound was.

Following the sweet scent leads you to a delicious looking mango. After further investigation you see that there's actually bite marks on the fruit. The bite marks look quite similar to that of your species and assume that whoever was eating it was eaten himself.

@ResolverOshawott has joined @Silver as
Kanti the female Asiactic lion.
To recap what has happened so far; you, your mother, and brother, Isha have finally gotten out of the den. Leaving your dead sister, Lalita, behind. And now, you've reunited with the rest of the pride.

Main Goal:
• Explore

Side Goal:
• Play fight with the other cubs = Strength up

@Polystical
You soon figure out that the thing lurking in the snow was an Arctic fox. He stops at your empty nest and sniffs at it, but leaves it alone once the little gooslings catches his eye. He thankfully leaves you and Tish alone to fight the mother goose. In the end, the goose scared the fox away and he fled. Your mother comes back afterwards, but probably would have gotten there too late. She invites you back to the nest with a sorrowful look, bringing terrible news,
"Your father has died."​
 
The mango did confused Lady Day quite a bit as it looks like a meerkat ate some of it but meerkats don't eat fruits or at least she doesn't think they do. She placed her front paws on the mango and took a bite on it in which her fangs failed to penetrate it as she was too small and not strong enough, instead she decided to lick a part that was already exposed it was sweet alright but she didn't like the taste at all.

After she was done with that, she stood on her hind legs to take a look around her sorroundings as surely whoever was eating the mango should be around her somewhere unless they were picked up by a predator. She looked up at the sky to see if she could spot a bird of prey. Nothing just vultures but it didn't mean she wasn't on full alert.

-----

Kanti was quite saddened by the death of her sister Lalita but at least she still had Isha was still with her but their sister's death aside they were out of the den now to meet the rest of the pride members. But she has one thing in mind and that is to play fight with the other cubs, specifically her brother.

She began running towards Isha and playfully tackled him to the ground "Tag! you're it!" she said before running off.
 
Isha had been saddened by Lalita's death. But soon, the different scenery that assaulted him outside of the den captured his attention. The scents, sounds, and sights had the little lion's nose and ears twitching while his head turned from left to right, taking in all of the bright colors. Even more fascinating was the sight of other lion cubs, immediately, almost instinctual, Isha began to pick out the males from the females, using the differences between he and Kanti as criteria for the separation.

So focused was he, that when Kanti tackled him, it took him entirely by surprise and he went down with an ungraceful 'ommph!' before he rolled over with a 'hmph', looking up, ears twitching towards his sister as she darted away. The tip of his tail flicked before he was on his feet and running after her, determined not to be 'it' for much longer. However, it wasn't long before he switched targets, pulling the other cubs into the tussle of tag before he again began to chase his sister down. He felt a bit of pride surge in his small breast at having gotten more prey, he meant other cubs, involved in their little game. Enough so that he slowed his pace a little, beginning to prance as he shook his head, holding it a bit higher.
 
@ResolverOshawott
(Meerkats occasionally eat fruit)
You see that the mango starts attracting ants. Marching over to the delectable fruit, the ants pay no attention to you. Or maybe they did, and just hoped you'd probably leave them alone. Considering the size of the line, they do think you'll eat them, but not all of them.

Congratulations for surviving to young adulthood! This month is going to be quite exciting, because this is the month you and your siblings have developed your own feathers. You're almost as tall as your mother now. Sooner or later, you really will have to leave the nest, and for good this time. Your mother gives tears goodbyes to each and everyone of you, for it's very likely that this will be one of the last times you'll see her. You say your goodbyes to Stretch and her family as well. You are now ready to leave. Make sure your home is in colder countries, meaning you need snow, you choose where your new home lies.

Main Goal:
• Leave the nest and establish somewhere to call your home

Side Goal:
N/A

@Silver and @ResolverOshawott
Congratulations for surviving your second month! You guys are now at the age when you'll start weaning, which basically means you'll start losing your milk teeth And replace them with teeth that can handle chewing meat. Even if you guys still arn't going to be able to eat meat at this age, you will be able to watch the lioness hunt. If your teeth become bothersome, chewing on things will help.

Main Goal:
• Remove your milk teeth

Side Goal:
• Watch the lioness hunt = learn frequent hunting areas

@Kitsunemage
Congratulations for surviving your second month! The seagrass in the are are getting more and more rare, and your mother has decided that it' stile to migrate where there's more food available. Your mother and some others form a temporary herd, travelling south.

Main Goal:
• Complete migration

Side Goal:
N/A

@ResolverOshawott
Congratulations on surviving your second month! After much exploration in the burrows you notice the familiar scent again.

He looked like you and your brother but probably much more larger.
"Who are you?!"

Main Goal:
• Figure out who the mysterious creature is​

Lady Day, Thorn and Petal had grown much in terms of size, of course this made both Thorn and Lady more adventurous as being being a little more bigger made things a little easier like digging, they're of course still very much vulnerable to predators.

Lady Day was well a bit scared when the mysterious mammal asked them who they were. The mammal looks like a meerkat but lacking some characteristics like a black tip on their tail and such which really confused her and it probably confused Thorn too judging from his facial expression.

She took a step forward and answered his question "My name's Lady Day and this is my brother Thorn and who might you be sir?" she said with as much confidence as she could.
 
@ResolverOshawott
The slender creature nodded to the answer he got, "My name is Sol." He replied, "The yellow mongoose." He backs up and goes back to where he came, "You're free to follow, I'm sure the kids would love to see our neighbours." Thorn looked at you! and then Sol, before following the mongoose.

"I'm sure mother won't mind if we went!"

Main goal:
• Figure out who the mysterious creature is Completed

Side Goal:
• Befriend the yellow mongoose = becomes adoptable​

Her eyes opened, the smell of her mother everywhere. Looking up her ears flicked, sounds she didn't understand where everywhere. Suddenly a large brown nose appeared before her. Letting out a surprised cry her head went back. Wobbling slightly since she wasn't completely used to it moving outside the womb. She felt a large tongue licking her fur. Then the one that smelled like mom walked away. Making her call out, trying to figure out how up worked.

Two hours past and her mother still a little ways away called to her. Then only came close enough to push her rump. Not very happy she squirmed.

"Razie come on now you have to get up."

Razies mother then began to walk away slowly. Making Raz frantic as she tried to collect her legs beneath her. Pushing up she got up about two inches before falling down once more. So she tried again widening her front legs and pushing hard with the back, that ended in a face plant. Still trying to stand she pushed up slower with her back legs and stayed up. Taking a wobbly two steps before falling again. Determined she tried until she walked up to her mom. Right now all she wanted was to drink, she had been eyeing her mothers udder the whole time. Reaching it she took a long drink feeling stronger now she was eating.
 
@UnicornBunny
Your twin sister follows your lead, and manages to stand as well. That is, after a few falls of her own. She drinks from your guys' mother as well. As soon as you guys finish, your mother grunts to indicate that you and your family will travel that way. Your mother soon begins to walk in that direction.

Main Goal:

Angel opened her eyes, the smells of her mother all around her. She looked around and found herself staring into the eyes of her twin brother. She yelped and stumbled back in fear. She didn't know what was going on. How could there be two of her? Angel felt an arm wrap around her and cradled Angel in her arms. She looked up into the animals eyes and realized it was her mother. She could hear the other her but paid it no attention. She was still trying to get used to all the smells and lights. She felt her mothers arm being pulled down and looked over at the other her. She took in it's looks and soon realized that it was her twin brother.

After a few minutes Angel was laid down on some comfy white stuff. It was warm and she was slowly becoming drowsy. Angel felt her brother being laid by her and she turned to face him. They stared into each others eyes for a short while until Angel fell asleep.

Two hours later she felt herself being gently shook and opened her eyes to see her mom. Angel blinked a few times to adjust her eyes to the light and sat up, yawning. Her mom wrapped her arms around Angel and led her to her womb where the smell of milk was strongest. Angel sniffed at it first then felt a great desire and began drinking. She soon felt her brothers body beside her as he fed as well. The milk was warm and tasted good. Angel closed her eyes and enjoyed her food.
 
Lady Day grinned, well the yellow mongoose seems friendly enough so she's also sure that mother wont mind playing with them for a bit well there's a good chance they will have a fairly odd scent on them by the end but that didn't deter the young meerkats at all.

She began following Thorn and the Yellow Mongoose to wherever they may go.

Petal on the other hand was feeling quite worried where her siblings are as she can't see them at all though she doesn't want to ask mom or any other adult where they are to avoid them getting worried as the two might just be exploring and possibly ruin the mobs day in which she didn't want to do though perhaps she can look for them later, after she finishes the dead scorpion that one of the adults gave to her.
 
@MoonGoddess
After drinking, your mother places you back on the cotton. She gives you the piece of cloth and your brother the pail, and then lays down herself to sleep. But before drifting off to sleep, she says, "We'll be going out later, okay? So play until then." Further inspection of the cloth shows that it actually has various holes on it. While you observed it, your brother puts the pail on his head.

Main Goal:
• Feed from your mother Completed

@ResolverOshawott
Sol leads you and your brother through one final tunnel, before stopping at a burrow similar to yours. Two smaller and female yellow mongoose stare back at you. "A meerkat!" One of them exclaimed. The other one pokes you on the nose.

@Ordered_Chaos was born as a Male Western Giraffe. Your birthplace is in the savannah north of Niger. You will be able to open your eyes in about an hour after your birth. You will also be able to stand in an hour as well. After opening your eyes, you notice other calves and older giraffes nearby. You become close to two others. Your journey begins in the savannah wih the rest of the nursery herd.​
 
Angel held the piece of cloth close to her face and examined it. She looked over at her brother, King, to see what he was doing with the pail. When she saw it on his head she laughed. "You look stupid." She teased and watched him take the pail of and put over her head. "Now you look ugly." He told her. Angel took the pail off and let it fall onto the cotton bed. She shoved the cloth in King's face then picked up the cotton and looked at it. "Strange stuff." She announced after looking at it carefully. She turned to her brother who was putting his fingers into the holes. "Hey, stop! You'll ruin it!" She snapped and snatched it away from him. "Hey!" He yelled then Angel shoved the cotton in his face. "Don't break this." She growled. Angel and King kept playing/fighting until they heard a rustle in the trees and looked over to see their mom.

"Ma, King was picking on me and ruining your stuff!" Angel complained. "Shut up Angel!" King snapped and they watched as their mom picked everything up. "You two will get along well." She told them, her eyes full of love. "Yeah right!" King and Angel said at once. They looked at each other then began wrestling to pass time while their mom picked up and got everything looking pretty again.​
 
Looking at the other one of her, she snorted. Then trotted after her mother. Getting mesmerized by bright colors. She continued walking after her mom. Stopping she looked at sticks, trees, flowers, and even puddles. Sniffing them all until her mom and brother called to her in annoyance. Her brother Sal was not as curious. He would only look for a minute she would look for a few. But then a weasel popped out of a bush at her so she clumsily ran to her mom.
 
When Eryk opened his eyes that day and awoke from his slumber, he knew that something was different. The nest felt oddly crowded even though he used to love snuggling up with his siblings. But today, he just felt the need to put some distance between he and his siblings. Even Tish, his favorite sibling was starting to become a bit of a nuisance. So when their mother came back from hunting, Eryk announced that he would be leaving at that moment. His brother, Rhys grumbled in annoyance, as he had clearly wanted to be the first one out.

"I'll miss you, my dear, Eryk. Oh, you look just like your father." His mother murmured, using her beak to smooth her eldest son's feathers. Eryk laughed and gave her a nuzzle before glancing at his siblings. Tish looked sad, but Eryk couldn't stick around to comfort her. She would get over his leaving eventually.

"Goodbye everyone!" Eryk called, to his family, and then gliding over Stretch and her family's nest, bidding goodbye to them as well before he ascended into the sky and began flying further north. He wanted to make his own home but he didn't want to complete sever his connection with his family. It would be nice to see them again some day, although he didn't know when that would be exactly.

After flying for awhile and resting occasionally, Eryk thought that he had finally found a good place to make his home. It seemed relatively unoccupied save for the small animals he heard rustling in the undergrowth and in the trees. The snow was deep in this place and there were quite a few boulders in the area. Eryk perched on one of them and scanned the area. It seemed...Pleasant.
