Noch

All was quiet at night. The faint chirp of crickets and the breeze through the air were the only noises that broke the silence. Noch, having made it to the island in the evening, began his exploration. He had claimed this island for now. It seemed so empty here. So vacant. The Amur leopard could only hope it wasn't. This was his new home and he didn't want to be alone.

Silver

Silver was on the island as well. However so was Spirit her brother. They we're both pure snow leopards. They had just recently made it their fur still wet from the swim. Keeping quiet they began to smell around and explore. They didn't smell Noch because they we're down wind of him. Silver went off on her own to try and find some kind of prey for her and Spirit to eat. Keeping stealthy and quiet she went farther into the island. She noticed the fog, and it kind of made her feel uncomfortable. Like some spooky kind of spirit, but she shook the thought from her head. Blue orbs looking around cautiously.

Palio

Palio had come here for peace, a sense of redemption. The chaotic world of the Shadow Haunters did not suit the male wolf, son of the famed Windsong. The slender male had swam the distance, his muscles inflamed and aching, to get to this place. It was interesting, shrouded in a fog, and mystery, in just two full days of spending his time here. Palio laid down to notice Noch, Silver and Spirit. Watching with amused eyes, Palio stood up. "Hello." Palio called out in a cool, icy voice. Though, he did not mean to sound blunt, it was his simple, carefree voice.

Silver

Silver spotting a rabbit crounched getting ready to pounce. She was all the way in the middle of the island nowhere near her brother Spirit or Noch. However if Noch sniffed the air he would smell her for she was down wind of him.

Spirit however heard, and spotted Palio. "Hello,"he called back his head and tail in subordient position at all times. He may be the older brother, but Silver was in charge of the two. She had no boss, and would never have one.

Noch; Sanctuary; Paragon

Noch smelled the distinct scent of the snow leopards, leaping from his perch and tracking them down. "Who are you?" He asked.

Sanctuary emerged from a cave nearby, and his distant cousin, Paragon, leapt from atop a rock. "Nice place, huh?" Sanctuary asked. Paragon, still quite young and very small compared to Sanctuary, sat beside his second-cousin-once-removed and tilted his head. "We just swam here last night." The pup said.

Silver

Silver leapt at the rabbit. Killing it with a quick bite to the neck. Than she heard a voice. Turning around she saw a male feline. Dropping the rabbit from her mouth her eyes stared defience at him. She was tense, and it shown. "Silver. Who are you,"she said back. She would never be a subordient. No one was her boss, and if so only to a very certain limit.

Spirit kept quiet. He wasn't used to talking to strangers. He wondered where his sister Silver was.

Noch

Noch sat down calmly. "I'm Noch." The Amur leopard replied. "Have you been on this island long?"

Sanctuary stood next to Noch, as well as Paragon. "Are you scared?" Asked Paragon. Sanctuary cuffed him on the head. "Ow! What was that for?" Paragon barked.

Silver

Silver calmed down some, but still remained tense. Blood was on her muzzle form the rabbit, and the scent of death could be smelled easily."No I just got here with my brother,"she said wondering why he wanted to know.

Spirit looked up. He knew he should of went with his sister. "No i'm just not use to talking to strangers,"he said to Paragon. He watched as Sanctuary cuffed him on the head.

Palio

Palio looked Silver and Spirit over, smirking slightly. "I'm Palio, welcome to the island," Palio pointed his introduction towards Silver and Spirit. He looked at Sanctuary and Paragon, smiling faintly. "Expected to find a bunch of native island banshees. Guess I was wrong." Palio's voice smirked with sarcasm, a light smile spread across his face.

Silver

Silver wasn't anywhere near Spirit so she didn't meat Palio, Sanctuary, or Paragon yet. She was in the middle of the island about to return to Spirit when she had been stopped by Noch. So here she was waiting for him to answer her as she stood quietly. Unesily she flicked her tail, but her body postition and eyes defied him to try anything that would end up with him getting clawed. She had no boss, and didn't want one. All she wanted was a friend, and not another subordient like her brother.

Spirit looked to the new commer. Now his pelt bristled due to he was even more uncomfortable. Three against one if it turned into a fight didn't sound good to him. "I'm Spirit. Thanks for the invitation,"he said trying to keep calm. He ignored Palio's smirk and sarcasm to the others the best he could. He wondered if Sanctuary and Paragon would be mad at what the other said. "How long have you been on the island,"he asked tyring to make some small talk.

Noch & Others

Paragon looked at Palio, though he had no idea they were related. Palio was Paragon's uncle, as Windsong was Palio's father and Paragon's grandfather. "Nope. No banshees. Just outlaws." The pup said with a sarcastic smirk.

Sanctuary tilted his head at the two leopards. "You don't see other animals much, do you?" He asked harmlessly, noticing how insecure they were. "Well, we don't mean any harm. I'm Sanctuary, by the way. Son of Klavdia and Schizo. This is my second-cousin-once-removed, Paragon."

"Son of Saydin and Kahvi!" The black-pelted pup chimed in.

Noch simply sat there, wondering why Silver was so...apprehensive. He wasn't going to say anything else. Not if he risked making the female leopard attack him, as that's what it seemed like she wanted to do.

Silver

Spirit didn't say nothing at the moment. He really didn't know these strangers or what they wanted. So he let his sister do the talking.

Silver was watching them as they spoke. "No we see lots of them. The only thing is we don't talk to others unless we need to. They left us alone so we returned the gesture,"she said. She didn't know who Saydin or Kahvi was due to she had just gotten here. Sensing from the pup's tone though they must be important around here. No Silver wouldn't attack Noch unless Noch attacked her first, or tried to make her submit. She relaxed now muscles not as tense. However her orbs always showed defiance as they had all her life.

Palio

Palio looked at Paragon, smiling at his remark. "I'm Palio, son of Windsong and..." Palio stopped, not bothering speaking his mother's name. She had betrayed him, letting him being thrown into the life of being a warrior for the Shadow Haunters. Palio had wanted to be a healer, but she'd insist he'd become a warrior. Palio had no voice to resist, so he'd just ran away.

Palio streeched. "Yup. I think I might stay here a while, nice and peaceful. How about the rest of ya?"
