(I'm terrible at titles as usual, but..Yea. Anyone can join in. I work often so my replies might be late. I hope this looks alright. Haven't done anything like this in awhile so sorry for any errors)

It was a tree. Nothing more than a tree located in the middle of nowhere. Towering over the various other trees in the area. It was old, and seemed to be quite lifeless. The branches were bare, and devoid of any leaves. The tree was also tall, and the highest branches were miles up in the sky. A tree house was in a crook of the tree to the middle, as two longer branches branched out from it. These branches were also high up, but even with the middle of the tree where the tree house was. The wood on the tree house looked old, and was even falling apart. Maybe it once was home to numerous critters, though any proof was long gone. What did matter, though, was the strange fact that the ground at the tree was seemingly dead and brown. Even an eery dark mist covered the top of the tree so you couldn't really see what was up there. Darkened magic also crackled in the mist.

Even stranger was that napping on the tree branch was a strange critter. They rested silently on one of the tree houses branches. A soft wind made them shiver and curl up in their two fluffy foxtails. Quills ran down their back, ending at their fox tails. They slept soundly, not caring much about how the branch they slept on moved in the wind. But perhaps they didn't care. It was silent. Nothing was nearby that could disturb the peace they had at this strange tree. Or so they thought.

The critter heard something coming as they opened their eyes. This sound made them rub their face in a deep sigh, and cautiously look out from the tree branch, ice magic forming on their sharp golden claws. Who had stumbled upon their tree this time?

(it's been a week since i made this, so i hope it's ok if i do this so it..uuh...doesn't get buried a few pages back. anyone is free to hop in. be it dragon,human,etc. anyone, really.)

OOC: I'm willing to RP with you. I'm not sure which character I want to use, but I would not mind using the one I posted with. ...Unless it's too ugly or fantastical, and you want a more straight-anthro character.

(Any character is fine, regardless of appearance and the like!~)

(anyone is free to join!~ i'll post whenever i'm able)

Ax stumbled through the thick forest and came upon a bare tree, larger than the others she had been running through for the past hour. She walked closer to it, warily, slowly, hand on the blade tucked into her belt. She looked around, for any signs of life, as she had seen nothing at all in her time there so far. She couldn't see a thing - except for something sat atop a branch high above her head. Was it a bird? Or something far more dangerous?

The creature stood slightly, a cautious gaze falling upon Ax. The branch moved as well, creaking as the creature balanced itself carefully. Though what could be seen somewhat was it's silvery fur in the dim sunlight that passed through the numerous branches. They squinted at her, eyebrow raised. They then moved down the trunk slightly from the branch with little difficulty and then faced her after climbing down enough to be fully seen. Their gold claws remained deep in the bare wood, keeping them in place. They didn't seem too dangerous, but they did seem curious about her.

'Hello?' Ax tried, wondering if the creature could speak - or what the creature was, at all. Silver fur glinting in the sunlight and wide bright eyes were all I had to attempt identification, but she had never seen anything like this in all her days.

"I've been trying to figure those creatures out too." Suddenly, another creature came from behind the group. He seemed to be a bunny with yellow fur, except he had a large black unicorn-horn on his head. "I'm not having any better luck though."

Ax spun around to face this strange unicorn/bunny creature in front of her. Her mind clouded with confusion, and her eyes shimmered into a deep orange colour to show this. 'Um.. no offence, but what are you?' she asked curiously. 'And what do you know of this..thing?' she waved behind her to indicate the silver furred creature.

OOC: I'm going to change icons according to what form he is in. Right now he's in normal form, so I will use his normal form image. When he changes into Emperor form, I'll change it accordingly.

"Oh, you have never seen an Al'Mi-Raj before?" the newcomer asked. "And to be fair I really know nothing of them."

'You know more than me. An Al'Mi what?' She frowned, eyes spilling into a pearly pink as curiosity rolled in.

(Sorry for lateness. was at work)

The creature listened to the two speak, green eyes watching intently. They only spoke when the talk slowed. ''I do not recall of such creatures...'' Their feminine voice spoke. ''I've never seen any before. But this tree is so remotely located very few ever find it most of the time.'' She remarked, but remained firmly on the bark. These beings seemed new to her. Though she still held caution, as she didn't budge from her place.

"So I guess none of us know what the creatures are?" Tiberius asked. "Also, we're known as "Al'Mi-Raj." Just say it quickly: Almiraj. It is kind of hard to pronounce, but you get used to it. ...By the way, my name is Tybee, but most people just call me Tiberius."

''My name is ShadowFoxSilver...But I usually get called Silver.'' She replied, before her gaze settled on Ax as if to question her for her name. Not that she was going to move from her spot anytime soon. She still didn't know if these two were safe enough to get close to. Naturally cautious, Silver had never seen such activity due to the tree being deep in a forest and often skimmed over for it's rather dull appearance.

OOC: I'm going to be off for the rest of the day. Please do not go too far without me. I should be able to reply in the morning though.

(alright. have fun)

Ax nodded. 'Almiraj.' She tried out slowly, before glancing back on ShadowFoxSilver. 'Silver. Cool. M' names Ax, case you were wondering. What you both doing out here in t' middle of nowhere?' Her eyes settled back into their usual green shade as she questioned them..
