?The wire?


It was mid-June when the lord of the eastern clans of feline demons including, lions, tigers,

panthers, jaguars, cheetahs. The ruler of these peoples is a mighty lion demon Soval Vulcat.

Vulcat has ruled over the feline tribes for 4 centuries, he has held the east together for 6 wars.

Now the east was experiencing a time of peace and he decided to hold a ball to celebrate his 5

century of ruling his clans and tribes. He bade his wife to gather his left hand women Carmen

master swords women and guard and her 4 daughters to go and have dresses made for the

centurion ball that was going to be held in a month and a half.

~meanwhile~
Vulcat turned to Dathon his right hand man and friend he asked Dathon why don’t you gather

your son and the brothers Ja’Rod and V’Ger to accompany me to the tailor to get suits made for

the ball.

Dammar and the brothers arrived quickly and the men went to the most reputable tailor in the east

Elim Garak a prominent tiger tailor. Soval entered the shop first and greeted Garak then

mentioned his friends and him are in need of so suits for the centurion ball he has planed.

Ok where are your friends so I can measure them and get their information on what they like for

suits. asked Garak

They are outside they do not know u like I do so they are hesitant about coming in here said
Soval.
Dathon get you and your guardian friends in here at once. commanded Soval

A chorus of Yes Sir was heard out side the building. First one to come through the door was

Dammar fallowed by the brothers, lastly the father came in. So who wants to get fed to the wolfs first?
I will said Dammar albeit warily
Very well sir right this way as Garak lead Dammar to the center of the store and begun to measure him.


Sir what color would your suit be a nice shade of dark earthy green with a cream undershirt and a dark brown tie asked Garak

Sure whatever you decide sir im not one for formalities. My idea of dress is my gi I use when im on the job said Dammar

While the other men get measured I will go to the kitchen next door and whip us up some lunch how about that my lord. Said V’Ger.

Soval said. that sounds wonderful we will be over in an hour will that be enough time to fix something for all of us? Oh and cut it with my lord stuff its just Vulcat or Soval I go by both.

Yes sir I will make note and I will have lunch in an hour so just come over to the restaurant when you are ready said V’Ger.

Meanwhile

lady Hoshi gathered up Carmen and her daughters Amsha, Emony, Erika, Sarina, to go to the

dressmaker for the lady’s dresses. Dressmaker Aluura greeted the ladies at the door saying

good morning ladies what can I do for you today.

well we all need dresses made for the ball, and don’t worry with our six commissions u wont have to take any one else’s said lady Hoshi

ok who shall we start with lady Hoshi? aluura asked

how about Amsha she’s the oldest said Hoshi

Ok Amsha what is your favorite color? asked Aluura

Um...um come on girl this is no time to be shy we are all girls here said Aluura animatedly
Well I do favor red the most. Ok something red it is then.

Aluura takes out a sketch book and starts to sketch Amsha’s dress. ~muttering to her self~ no not that it would make her look fat so if I do this in staid she would have freedom of movement and will look pretty.

Tada!! How about this amsha a deep red floor length skirt and a cuffed puff sleeve also the deep red or we could leave the sleeves dangling and attach little bells to the ends?
I don’t know what do u think lady?
I think it is beautiful the color suits you and your fiery personality.
Ok then mistress Aluura this one is for me.

Aluura asking the group. Ok who’s next how about u girl what is your name child?

Emony ma’am as she gave her name, Aluura whipped out her sketch pad again.

I think black woven fine with silver thread making it shimmer the material will be so light that it wont keep in the heat. Ah ha! Done a one piece tank top dress that shows an ample amount of cleavage.

I love it that is defiantly me. Emony said

Ok who’s next you Erika you are a blue girl are you, you are also a fighter arnt you so a pair of wide breeches that when you walk looks like it’s a skirt but allows for freedom of movement both shirt and breeches are midnight blue with silver thread woven through out so it will shimmer like the night sky and a silver chain belt where you can have your weapons on your person. The shirt has a tight fitting bodice with loose sleeves with bells on the cuffs. You carry the flame of Orion right?

Yes I do carry the magical flame of Orion, with it I have magical powers connected to fire, water, air, metal. Im mostly attuned to the metal and fire magical powers. I can turn any thing I touch into a weapon but im most deadly with my bare hands and feet. If I had my choice I would not be here right now I would rather be on the training field, but I also told my sisters to help me become slightly more of a feminine feline, cause there is this cheetah boy that I like and I think he likes me, we have only met twice and that was on the training field he was testing me on my sword skills. Don’t tell my mom or the lady cause they would try to set something up between him and me. I do know that he will be escorting me to the ball not by choice, lord soval decreed that the best worriers escort the daughters of his personal guards. Im to be escorted by Ja’Rod Coltat, Emony will be escorted by V’Ger Coltat, Amsha will be escorted by Escol Loro a jaguar warrior, and Sarina will be escorted by Evek a young tiger warrior. They don’t know so please don’t tell them.
Ok I wont tell, im done with you send Sari back.
Kay.
Hey Sari your turn go on back.
So Sarina u like the color green right, ok for you there will be a single piece tank top dress and will be dark green with little bells around the hem. That will tinkle when u dance.
Lets go out in to the shop and show your mom and the lady the dresses I designed for you and your sisters.
What about the lady and my moms dress.
They gave me the designs this morning before you arrived.
Now ladies these are the sketches for each of your outfits they will be ready for pick up at the end of the month now don’t you ladies need to go jewelry shopping.
Yes we do, thank you mistress Aluura.

Garak: yes I think I will. I will pay for myself though.
Soval: ok u can pay for your self.
At the Neko~ken V’Ger was taking the last dish out to the patio where the men can sit and enjoy the sun.

Lady Hoshi: ladies would u follow me?
Ladies: Yes ma’am

Emony chose 5 large jetstones and 5 opal stones, Amsha chose 5 ruby stones and 5 jasper stones, Erika chose 5 sapphires and 5 lapis lazuli and Sarina chose a single stone Emerald. Each had something in mind for the jeweler to make them.
They made it to Kapec’s jewels where head jeweler Rayna sat down with each girl and designed their pieces, she said they would be ready by the end of the month

Shall I have them delivered to the palace sir or will you come pick them up before the ball after all this it Rhue’s flower shop we arrange the best
Soval: I think the boys and I will pick them up before the ball with our ladies so you can guarantee there reactions to your and our creations. This should cover the cost of the arrangements *drops a worn leather pouch in to madlyn’s cupped palms* their should be 2000 gold crowns and 160 silver crescents for a grand total of 2160 crowns.
Madlyn: thank you sire I will personally see to your ladies flowers and make sure they are the best.
Soval: thank you all I ask is that you make them with love and care.

~a month and a half flew by for everybody, except for Dammar he still had no date to the ball.
He was doing his rounds in the town market when this well beautiful girl bumped in to him, she was wearing mens gear with her short hair she could almost pass for a page boy but this was no boy. Shortly a stall keeper raced around a corner the keeper said good sir you already caught the thief that stole from my stall.
Dammar: what did you steal boy? Answer me boy what did you steal. Humble shopkeeper what did the boy steal
shopkeeper: he stole 3 meat pasties and 3 apples.
Dammar: what was the cost of the products.
Keeper: 6 gold crowns.
Dammar: here is 12 gold crowns that should cover the cost of 3 more meat pasties and 3 more apples. Right keeper!
Keeper: yes sir it does. If you will follow me. Here we go 3 meat and cheese pasties and 3 apples wrapped In cloth and was passed over to Dammar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dammar: what is your name girl and your age?
Girl: im 19 and my name Is Gwyn my father is Robin o’locksley we’re jaguars
Dammar: you mean the famous Robin Hood that married the lady Marion the lords only daughter?
Gwyn: if you mean my grandfather is lord Soval then yes I am the daughter of maid Marion.
Dammar: how foolish of me I have forgot my manners im Dammar loyal guardian of the peace im also a jaguar. I know we just met but will you accompany me to the ball in a fortnight?
Gwyn: yes I will go to the ball with you Dammar.
Dammar: then you will need a dress fit for a princess^_^. I will drop you off with my sisters and they will take you to the dress maker.
Gwyn: ok
As Gwyn and Dammar went to find his sisters what they didn’t know that Robin was waiting in the shadows and that the shopkeeper and him had a deal to get those two together.
Soon Dammar located his sister and explained everything with a big grin plastered on his face. Soon enough he professed the need to leave and get back to his job. He is such a sweetie when it comes down to it. Gwyn was happy to say the least she had lived her life around monks and holy people (not leches) her father served lord Soval before those two masters took over and saved her father and the lord. Her father still worked for Soval but as a spy master not a guard.
Emony: Hi you must be Gwyn the one who has smitten my brother he told me to take you to get a dress made. Well what’s keeping you girl come on
Gwyn: Sorry Emony, she hurried to catch up.
Emony: this is it Aluura’s seams, she is making the dresses for me and my sisters and lady hoshi and my mom. So lets go in shall we.
Aluura came at the bell ringing signifies that some one was in the shop.
Aluura: Hi ladies what can I do for you today?
Emony: Hi we need another dress made for the ball and I have enough crowns to commission it before you say no know that this is my brothers friend and a family friend so if you refuse her we the ladies of house K’oicat will take our future business elsewhere.
Aluura: ok I will design her dress and no worries I would never insult your house Emony you of all people should know that! Ok what is your name sweetie?
Gwyn: it is Gwyn ma’am and my favorite color is earth tones you know rich browns and greens and im a fighter like Erika.
Aluura: ok *sketch book out and sketching away** no, no that wont do maybe full legged breeches with a tunic cut at the waist to allow full movement, maybe material rich brown inter woven with green threads yeah that is it* Done how do you like it I kinda designed something simililur for Erika.
Gwyn: its perfect thank you
Aluura: thank you oh Emony would you like to take your dresses home today since the ball is In 3 days?
Emony: yes I think I will take the dresses today thank you
Aluura: just a minute I have to go get them. Here we go all 5 dresses for you.
Emony: will you put them on the counter? *sehtahola*
Gwyn,Aluura: gasp what happened to the dresses?
Emony: there in the closet at home ^_^! Silly gooses I can do magic well a little bit anyways we each have our own special powers like me im good at making things disappear and reappear in different places, my sister Amsha has a good skill with cooking and weaving tangled webs of dreams, Sarina has not come into her powers yet but im sure they will do with garding and plants
Erika’s is a little out there she has many magicks dealing with metal and fire and her marital arts and swords skills that is why she is heir and adept at the art. And my brother Dammar has fire and Earth magic. And you Gwyn have memory magic called the sight don’t you?
Gwyn: I guess you figured me out I do have the sight and the ability to use any bow with supreme accuracy. My Sight allows me to take any field of work but what I really want is to be spymaster for my grandfather.
Aluura: Grandfather? You mean you are Robin Hood’s and lady Marion’s daughter.
Gwyn: Yes my grandfather does not know me he knows he has a grandchild but he does not know his/her name or where she is.

Rainger: (taunting) Your gettin’ slow Erika where is the brash fighter I trained.
Erika: Ill show you slow *senkon-tegtsu*
As she landed he let go with his attack the tetson-higsu she dodged barely.
