( After the Followers show up.. )


( SozinThis with Sozin )
As soon as the fog appeared, the whispering started again, and these whispers where dark, and seething with hatred. Sozin bristled at once, and soon the cats came in to view and even before they started speaking Sozin already hated them. So this was why the spirits had lead him here, apparently the clans where in for the times of their lives. No sooner had he shown up then east region had flooded, then been evicted and now he knew the worst was to come. After all this time here, and all his memories before this, everything would lead to this.

Let Light Shine Through the Fog.

He paused, it was rare he actually understood what the voices in his head where saying, but this one rang through as clear as day, making him turn and look around for a second, thinking perhaps the she cat he had been sitting next to had said it, but he could see by her expression she had not. No, he had heard the words through the endless murmurs, and it meant something near and dear to him. When he got home, he could already see the new tattoo that would need to go on him. A new one, to signal his finding his perps.

He was it destroy the fog, or in this case, the one controlling it.

( Nytelyteable with Shyvanna )
Shyvanna's eyes quickly adjusted when the darkness sweeped over the gathering. But with the fog and a new, sudden fear of dread she felt more worthless than a kit against a giant eagle. There was a purple glow that made its way through the fog, and after a moment, it began to speak. Shyv felt nothing good from this and crouched down, if only for a moment until the cat made its way up to the leaders rock. The normally calm she-cat raised herself up again, trying to keep a level head about things but had just a weird, uncalming affect. It wasn't until the light returned when she realized why. She turned her gaze from the leaders rock, to the cats around. The fog was still thick, despite everything but she manouvered her way to the last place she saw Sozin. His pelt was familiar to her, and as she found him, she sat down close to him. "What is this.." she hissed rather quietly. For some reason, she would think he might know something... with the way he spoke of voices. Maybe this was why? ... Maybe he was part of it? ... No. No he would never do anything to hurt his region.

( SozinThis with Sozin )
Sozin watched as curious eyes, as another large male emerged from the fog, but the fog did not follow him and so Sozin knew whomever was creating this fog was not letting himself be known, and probably for good reason. Though no one dared approach the one who seemed to lead this the fog bound, as Sozin called them since he knew not of a better term, as the unheard of large tom made his way past them, hisses could be heard from someone close to the front, Sozin could not see who though.

At once, he felt Shyvanna's presence next to his, and though he could hardly say he felt at comfort with her close by, he felt relieved that she was with him. It was pitiful he knew, but it kept his focus for a moment to look to her, with a back side glance towards Cinna on the rock. He knew something was going on between the two, and selfish was he for not liking it, but neither could he argue. He was far from mate worthy, since he was bound to the stars that spoke within his ears first and foremost. He could never give his life to dedicate to one cat when he could not make any promises on where he would need to be.

"Nothing Good. Who ever they are they even the spirits fear and loathe them." He said.

( Nytelyteable with Shyvanna )
Shyvanna felt better being close to Sozin than she had been sitting by herself. His presence strengthened her own, and instead of crouching down like a kit, she sat down with her head raised up, trying to see everything that was going on. She worried though.. Worried for the cats on the rock, worried for Cinna, worried for her region and all the other regions too. She leaned her pelt into Sozins almost instictivily. He was a light element, and in this darkness he was everything put powerful, but to her, it was what she needed. The psychic element's golden eyes followed the forms of different cats in the crowd while listening to the black tom speak. Followers of Bane? She turned her face to Sozin. "The.." She faultered with her words for a moment, too surprised to speak. "The followers. The stories.. everyones stories.." She tried to put her sentences together, but something about the whole situation didn't add up to her. Her gaze turned from Sozin back to the cat on the rock, and then to Iorek as he began to speak as well. Somehow, the leader knew who he was speaking too. Her worried eyes tried to meet Cinna's, and for a moment, she felt a little afraid herself. Of him. He was a dark elemental as well. Wasn't that something to do with the stories? But why would she fear Cinna? ... She wouldn't. Fearing Cinna was crazy to think about. Without looking away from the leaders on the rock she mewed quietly, "It is possible that Iorek will do something stupid out of an emotional outburst..." She just hoped for his clans sake, that the leader would handle this with all the composure he could muster. Shyvanna's mind was wheeling, trying to put two and two together. Was the weather the fault of the Followers? But if so then how come no one ever saw a cat using their powers to do such a thing? Why were they here?

( SozinThis with Sozin )
Sozin said nothing at first, watching the events unfold. A region cat had already been attacked by the large one, and who knew how many other followers - as Shyvanna called them- lay just within the thickest parts of this fog that now lapped at their feet like the water within a swamp. It slinked along like poison, and he simply watched. It was curious to see Iorek so emotional, since even as he thrusted them out to fend for themselves or more likely died he had always seemed calm, sensible. Had the spirits predicted such a side of the dark brown tabby tom be shown tonight? Was this how they would allow him to react to such things? Sozin could only hope that just as the whispers roared within his ears now they guided the leader, all of them even, to do well. He may not know what the right move would be, but he knew they all had better tread every carefully right now or else the war would be upon them in this very instant. That would not be good, with so many cats having been homeless and highly underfed recently. he was thankful his presence was not on that rock a the moment, since he desired to be as far from a place where his actions would be seen by everyone. Quickly, he let his eyes flare first, sending his healing powers over to Fortuna as subtly as possible. It was harder, from such a distance, but he kept his head low and prayed her healing would go unnoticed. If no one did it, he feared she would die.

"I do not remember the name, but I suspect that it is not our same stars that guide their paw steps."" Was all he whispered to his friend, grateful for her company, hopefull that she carried the same mind of him as to stay as far form the fight as possible.

( Nytelyteable with Shyvanna )
The pyschic elemental felt almost useless in this situation. She knew the basics of fighting, and could defend herself, but her powers would be little to worthless. She had not the need for more stones like some cats did, she was a tamer. She needed little. The best thing she had was her ability to teleport. At least Sozin had the power to heal, and she was glad he was willing to help, even though the she-cat was not of their region. "The story goes that Bane and Andromeda were mates, but Bane was infected with evil spirits and only Andromeda could keep them away." she mewed to Sozin quietly, her eyes looking up towards the leaders on the rocks. Shyvanna's voice could only be heard by Sozin, and maybe a few around her as she continued to pass on what she had heard from her mother as a young kit, "Bane followed Andromeda to the Sacared Stone, and grew angry at her for not sharing the knowledge of the stone with her. He killed her and divided the stone. ... After all these years, I didn't realize that his followers still existed." She mewed, and then watched with wide golden eyes as Cinna walked up to stand next to the cat she had heard been called Kaa.

"Cinna..." she breathed, almost silently as the leader began to speak. Her worry grew as he spoke each word. But at the same time, she knew why he wasn't scared. Many cats feared dark elementals, but Cinna too.. was a dark elemental. Against each other, no fear would be shared. From the look on Kaa's face, Shyvanna knew that he thrived on the fear, and the fact that Cinna stood up to him like this? ... That would not make him happy. Around her, cats began to react differently to the known followers. Some cried out, while others shouted forward. Shyvanna wanted nothing but for them all to silence and let the leaders take care of it. But by this time, cats were beginning to make up their minds on the ordeal. "What are we going to do?" She asked quietly, more as a rhetorical question but it was loud enough for Sozin to hear.

( Lots of stuff goes on. Leaders speak to Kaa. Thunder Bull in the sky. Crying, fighting. Ect. )

( Nytelyteable with Shyvanna )
Around her, cats were crying out. Reacting to the thunder spell she had seen before. Or at least heard of.. Still, Shyvanna crouched down when it would run past, her ears flat on her head. The she-cat looked over at Sozin who had been silent since she told him the quick version of the story of Andromeda and Bane. She watched again as the bull left and a darkness swept over everyone again. In this time.. the cat named Kaa had left. The tamer straightened herself up and flattened her fluffed out fur. 'They could be anywhere... anyone' Her mind began to turn as she thought about how far spread these followers could be. Alone, they looked like regular cats and could be anywhere. There could be more of those followers here, tonight even, among the crowd. She looked over at Sozin again, "This.. This is not good. And I thought things were tense before.." she mewed, looking up as the leaders began to gather their cats together. At least the ones that had somewhere to leave too.
