| Shivae! | [[Mura pounces on the Scythetail.]] / [[Mura is on top of the Scythetail.]] / [[The Scythetail leaves.]] / [[Mura watches it go.]] / Mura: Yes. ... Too old, but still able! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011020 |
| Shivae! | [[Back in the den.]]
/ Narration: An hour later.
/ Koel: We're back, Mura! And this carry thing you invented works! / Duske: Easier to carry the best parts for our chicks. / Mura: I'm glad. Fair trade for the food you bring me in the bare season. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011021 |
| Shivae! | Duske: We trade well!
/ Mura: Glad to hear you say that, Duske. / Mura: Now, Koel and I must be going. We have a long way to go. / Rill: You don't want to eat first? / Mura: No, it's not good to travel on a full belly and the chicks need it more than I. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011022 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura and Koel are walking through the forest.]]
/ Koel: What happened? I could smell something strange at the den. Mom couldn't... but she had blood on her muzzle.
/ Mura: Your sense of smell is good.... / Mura: One came and was apparently scouting the den. It fled easily enough, but reeked of nestlings. / [[Looking at Mura and Koel from behind, a trail of blood is visible.]]
/ Mura: We'll need to hurry, Koel. They will not be as apt to attack us until it's time to teach the nestlings to hunt... http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011023 |
| Shivae! | [[Koel looks at Mura's leg, and sees that it's bleeding.]] / Koel: Mura! You're bleeding! We should stop!
/ Mura: Not here... at the pool. / Mura: Don't worry yourself little one! It's not that deep. Just in a bad spot for walking. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011024 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura is dipping her injured leg into a pool. Koel watches.]] / [[Mura points at a plant with yellow flowers and yellow spots on the leaves.]]
/ Mura: See the plant over there with the yellow spots, Koel?
/ Koel: Yes....
/ Mura: Chew a few of the leaves up for me. / [[Koel is chewing on the leaves with a disgusted expression.]]
/ Koel: Eww... must be good for you, taste horrible! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011025 |
| Shivae! | [[Koel is sticking her tongue out.]]
/ Koel: Nnng.... I want some sweet root! The taste isn't washing out and my tongue is numb! / [[Mura is bandaging her leg, while Koel is getting a drink.]]
/ Mura: Perhaps later. It will wear off soon. / [[Closeup of Mura looking at her bandaged leg.]]
/ Mura: Feels much better now. Thank you, Koel. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011026 |
| Shivae! | Koel: Mura, what are Scythetails? I didn't see them. / [[Closeup of the side of Mura's face.]]
/ Mura: Deadly creatures. They kill by maiming and have no respect for other predators or the enlightened. / [[Overhead shot of Mura and Koel walking.]]
/ Mura: They chose to go their own way a long time ago. They are quite barbaric and jealous of our mutual advancements. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011027 |
| Shivae! | [[Closeup of Mura.]]
/ Mura: Scythetails are not like us. They are killers without regard to the benefits of organized society. Such a shame.... because they are enlightened and not simply beasts like the fish and bucks. / [[Closeup of Koel.]]
/ Koel: Well, they sound horrible! / [[Koel and Mura. Mura looks surprised.]]
/ Voice: Who? Who's horrible? http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011028 |
| Shivae! | [[Two new Shivae, both winged.]]
/ Purple and gold Shivae: Who are you talking about?
/ Blue Shivae: Sorry if Jesk startled you. He heard you talking and just wanted to invite you to share in our kill. / Jesk: That was YOUR idea, Caiden!
/ Caiden: I was attempting to make up for your lack of manners in surprising them like that. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011029 |
| Shivae! | Caiden: Anyway, if you are hungry, we have more than enough to share.
/ Mura: Who is asking? / Caiden: Oops... pardon my lack of manners. I am Caiden of Nidae and this is my brother, Jesk.
/ Jesk: Hi....
/ Mura: Nidae, hmmm. Not familiar. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011030 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura eating from a bone, with the main part of the kill in the foreground.]]
/ Mura: Thank you, Caiden, Jesk. We appreciate your hospitality. / [[Closeup of Caiden.]]
/ Caiden: You are more than welcome. We are wandering, so the rest would have gone to waste. / [[Closeup of Jesk, who is eating.]]
/ Jesk: We're looking for mates, but haven't found any available here. We'll be moving on soon. / [[Caiden shows Mura three parallel scratches on his shoulder.]]
/ Caiden: The last clan, a day's flight from the sun, waited for us to make a kill before informing us that their daughters were taken... and took the kill by force... http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011031 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura is looking at Caiden's injured shoulder, which now has light green goop with darker bands through it over his injury.]]
/ Mura: Deep, but not serious, Caiden. It'll mend fine with time.
/ Caiden: Thank you, Mura. / [[Caiden licks his injured shoulder.]]
/ Caiden: We're too far from our native lands. There is no way we would have been able to get back for Daison to see to our wounds. / [[Mura is visible again.]]
/ Mura: Daison? I taught him everything he knows. He's my great-great grandson. Oh, good to hear he's taken up with a good clan. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011101 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura has a forepaw on Caiden's shoulder.]] / [[Closeup of Koel. She has green goop around her mouth, and her tongue is hanging out.]]
/ Koel: Is that all? My tongue is numb again. / [[Closeup of Mura, still with a forepaw on Caiden's shoulder.]]
/ Mura: I want you to remember that plant as a healing plant, Koel. / [[Closeup of Mura. Her tongue is still out.]]
/ Mura: I'll remember... that medicines are best applied and not EATEN! BLECH! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011102 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura is cleaning off her forepaws with a lgiht blue cloth. Koel is watching her.]]
/ Mura: You know, instead of making faces, you should get to know these two... They are solo males. / [[Shot from behinf Mura and Koel, overlooking a body of water.]]
/ Koel: Oooh.... I wasn't even considering that, Mura!
/ Mura: You know how rare Shivae males are in this area. You should keep that in mind, Koel. / [[Closeup of Koel.]]
/ Koel: Yes.... I like Caiden... but would Father? http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011103 |
| Shivae! | [[The three Shivae and Mura are near a tree on a grassy cliff, with mountains in the distance. Mura and Koel are laying down. The two male Shivae are standing, and Jesk's wings are open.]]
/ Mura: Would Nidae like to accompany Koel and I to the council trees?
/ Jesk: We have oth... / [[Caiden and Jesk.]]
/ Caiden: Nidae would be honored to escort.
/ Jesk: Grrr... / Jesk: You go do that, Caiden. You've been nothing but bad luck to me in finding a winged mate!
/ Caiden: Mates don't ALWAYS come with wings, Jesk! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011104 |
| Shivae! | [[Koel, with Caiden's tail visible behind her - he's on a low tree branch.]]
/ Koel: Caiden. Mura is ready to leave. I'm sorry about your brother... / [[Shot from behind Caiden.]]
/ Caiden: Don't, Koel. We should have separated our paths sooner. / [[Caiden's snout is visible in the lower-right corner of the panel. He's looking up at Jesk's silhouette flying away.]]
/ Caiden: We do not hunt the same prey. / [[Caiden comes down from the branch, joining Koel.]]
/ Caiden: Let's not keep Mura waiting! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011105 |
| Shivae! | [[Closeup of a Scythetail with a half-healed scratch over his eye sniffing the grass.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: They're a day ahead, Lord Dior. / [[Shot of four normal-looking Scythetails and Dior. Dior is a gigantic red Scythetail with orange bulges at various points on his body, along with a clump of black bulges near the base of his neck.]]
/ Dior: Then you will have no problem catching up to them before they reach the council trees.
/ Scythetail with a scratch: None at all. Az, Kull, Tos, with me now! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011106 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura, Caiden, and Koel are climbing a hill. Mura is in the lead, with the two Shivae walking side by side. Caiden is looking down, Koel has her head tilted at him, and Mura is halfway looking back at them.]]
/ Mura: We have two more days to the council trees.
/ Caiden: Hopefully not all on sharp rocks! / [[Closeup of the bottom of Caiden's right foot. It's covered in blood.]]
/ Caiden: I depend on my wings too much. / [[Closeup of Mura looking over her shoulder.]]
/ Mura: Caiden! You should have said something earlier! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011107 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura and Caiden at the top of the hill, with mountains in the background.]]
/ Mura: Fly over the ridge and we'll meet you there, Caiden. Look for a pond with fruit trees around it.
/ Caiden: Thank you, Mura. I'll be waiting. / [[In the background, Caiden flies toward the mountains. Koel's face is visible in the left side of the foreground, Mura's in the right.]]
/ Koel: I wish I had wings. I'm slowing us down.
/ Mura: I depend more on my feet than wings, Koel.
/ Koel: Why? / [[Overhead shot. Mura and Koel are only visible as silhouettes nearing the edge of a cliff.]]
/ Mura: Unlike Shivae, the older a Gryphon gets the harder it is to fly. Only the little islanders can fly effortlessly their entire lives. I'm too heavey without a strong wind and even then my wings ache.
/ Koel: Having wings and being unable to use them would be far worse than never having had them.
/ Mura: Indeed. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011108 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura is bandaging Caiden's foot, and Koel is holding a cluster of orange-pink fruit. There's a tree behind them, grass under them, and a body of water in front of them.]]
/ Mura: This will help, but your feet will be sore for a few days, Caiden.
/ Caiden: Thank you, Mura, I do appreciate your help.
/ Koel: Look what I found! Cluster fruit! Would you like some? / [[Koel offers the cluster fruit to Caiden. He's smiling.]] / [[Closeup of Mura looking over her shoulder, eyes narrowed.]]
/ Mura: (thinking) Hmmm... that smell does not bode well for us. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011109 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura is running. The two Shivae are side by side, their heads and torsos blurry.]]
/ Mura: I will see the two of you later, good running! / [[Frontal shot of Mura running.]]
/ Mura: (thinking) I must hurry! / [[Caiden appears dark red, Koel appears very dull pink with grey stripes, and their surroundings are a deep red, almost purple color.]]
/ Koel: This is the longest I've ever gone cold.
/ Caiden: Same here, but we should go longer! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011110 |
| Shivae! | [[The four normal-sized Scythetails are gathered together, sniffing at the ground. Two of them are purely blue, one has darker blue stripes, and one is black. One of the pure blue ones is the one with a scratch over his eye.]]
/ Blue Scythetail with no scratch: The Shivae are gone, but we have a clear trail on the Gurdan! / [[Closeup of the Scythetail with a scratch.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: Then we follow that one! Come, we are wasting time! / [[Mura's silhouette running, with trees in the background.]]
/ Mura: (thinking) Here they come! Not making much effort to be quiet, they've got my trail! Good. http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011111 |
| Shivae! | [[Shot of the Scythetails running. The blue one with stripes is in the lead, and one of the purely blue ones is visible not far behind.]] / [[Continuation of the last pannel, showing Mura running.]] / [[Closeup of Mura's injured leg.]] / [[Closeup of the Scythetail with a scratch.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: We will bring her down! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011112 |
| Shivae! | [[Mura running, with the striped Scythetail right behind her.]]
/ Mura: (thinking) They're... faster! -pant- Than I -pant- remembered! / [[Mura running from the Scythetails. In the background, a rock formation that looks perhaps like a sauropod head and neck rises into the air. The Scythetail with stripes and one of the purely blue ones are visible; the purely blue one is skidding to a stop. The next panel indicates the purely blue Scythetail is the one with a scratch.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: Wait! I've been here before!! / [[Closeup of the Scythetail with a scratch screaming.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: STOP!! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011113 |
| Shivae! | [[Frontal shot of Mura. She's still running and has glanced over her shoulder.]]
/ Mura: (thinking) Yes... follow me right off a cliff. That's it. / [[The Scythetail with a scratch is visible in the lower-left forground, shouting. The other Scythetails are still running after Mura. Mura has jumped, and right behind her is a blue Scythetail - likely the one with stripes - and behind that one is the black one.]]
/ Scythetail with a scratch: Az! Kul! Tos!! Stop pursuit!! / [[Mura's tail is visible from the lower-right corner of the panel. The striped Scythetail leaps after her.]]
/ Striped Scythetail: No, Kis! I have her! / [[Mura is flying. The striped Scythetail is falling with a surprised expresson.]]
/ Mura: Good-bye...
/ Striped Scythetail: RAAAIIIK!!!
/ Mura: Pity you lack wings! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011114 |
| Shivae! | [[The Scythetail with darker stripes and Kis watch as Mura flies away.]]
/ Scythetail with darker stripes: He should have listened! The fool!
/ Kis: Lord Dior will not be pleased. / [[Closeup of Kis on the left side of the panel. Mura flying away, towards a forest, in the background.]]
/ Kis: She wasted our time! We have to go back and try to pick up another trail! Shivae can't go cold forever and we know they are heading in the direction of the council trees! http://shivae.net/archive.php?day=20011115 |
