Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap

"Foolish creatures! I am nearly 700 years old!!! Do you really thing weapons like that will kill ME!!! HA!!" The beast laughed, "None of you will LIVE!!!" It roared, now in a fit of rage the creature began to charge. Zona knew they both heard the creature say she was an Ander, hell, Iaco even asked her if she was, but right now wasn't the time for hiding it. With how fast the creature was she knew none of them could out run them, but she could easily get out of its reach. "dung." She said with an irritated look on her face, quickly she throw off her jacket and let her wings out, it felt good to let them out, have her blue and black feathers feel the wind, but now was not the time for that. She jumped behind the two of them, grabbed both of them and leapt into the air. Her timing was off though, because the claws of the beast grabbed her leg, but it wasn't able to hold on, letting its claws drag down her leg as she flew up leaving 4 large and long claw marks on the calf of her leg down to her ankle, blood was slowly dripping down. Once in the air Zona looked at Iacomus and said, "Hope this answers your question." They were safe up there for now, but the beast was smart and would surly find a way to get them down, she couldn't bring them back into town because it was the middle of the day, and she couldn't land because of the beast, they would be stuck in the air for a bit until they figure something else. "You can't stay up there forever!! I will get you all!!" The beast roared at the top of its lungs.

Clancy's eyes widened when he suddenly felt himself being lifted in air. So she was an Ander; a winged Ander just like Tyrell!! Maybe she knew him! He would have to ask once this whole ordeal was over. What to do now? Iaco had the gun he made and Zona had her bow and arrows.. Maybe if they got close enough Iaco could shoot it... "Okay, first of all, love yer wings Darlin'. Second of all, what do we do now?"

Iacomus took the gun and thanked Clancy with a serious nod of his head, then looked back at the beast, trying to figure out it's weak point. He knew human anatomy extremely well, as that was his job, but- Suddenly, he felt his feet leave the ground, and looking up, he saw enormous feathers, some black, some blue, some a dynamic mix of the two, looming over both himself and Clancy, who was in the air next to him. Zona was a winged ander... of course she was... Iacomus scowled.
"Thanks Clancy, but now isn't the time for that." Zona said as she looked down at the beast, she noticed Iacomus was scowling, and she had a feeling she knew why, "And now isn't the time for hating either." She said, directing that towards Iaco. "Well we are stuck up here until we figure a plan out, because i cant land down there without him ripping us to shreds, and i cant go into the city because... ya." She said as she watched it pace back and forth on the ground, clearly trying to come up wit a plan to get them down, which would only be a matter or minutes. "I know they are weak against arrows and guns, and would kill you in seconds if you tired to kill them with a sword or you bear hands. Since I'm holding you two I can shoot, unless one of you could get behind my wings and hold on to my back, I don't think its the smartest idea but seeing as im the only one who can shoot a bow, it may be a good idea. But that's your decisions on what you two want to do." Zona said waiting to see what they will say.

"Oh for Christ's sake, land in a tree. I have a gun, Clancy can climb onto your back, and you can shoot your arrows. In all likelihood, he'll be more interested in you than me, and if he does attack me, I'll shoot and run. Maybe you can hit a pressure point or something. For Christ's sake, Zona, put me down!" Iacomus said, gritting his teeth. There were two occasions when he got angry. One of them was when someone he cared about got hurt. Rarely that seemed to happen, it seemed, as, if he were to be completely honest with himself, he hardly cared about anybody other than himself. The second was... Well.. winged anders. Feline and common anders he could stand, but winged anders.... And of course Zona had to be one. "For Christ's sake..."
Clancy let out a nervous laugh, noticing Iaco's anger. So Iaco had a problem with winged Anders. That was too bad.. "Sure I can climb on yer back if ya want me to.. Iaco, that is just a make shift gun so the most you can fire it is three times. Sorry, I wish I coulda made ya somethin' better but I don't have the right materials..."

Zona listened to her angry friend... or maybe ex-friend now, and couldn't stand what he was saying, she knew anger was fuelling his words but still. "Listen if i land in a tree the thing will be on us before i even pass the top of the tree, your not going to run and shoot it because you could never outrun it no matter how fast you think you are, and he would not be interested in just me, he's old, wise and smart and would kill you while looking at me, and i really don't want to go back to the city with only one other person. So we are stuck up here until we take that thing down, now start shooting, and Clancy get on my back, I'll bend my leg so you have some support." Zona was mad now, and wanted to get down just as much as Iaco did, she didn't like holding two men nearly 50 feet up, they were heavy and she wasn't as strong as she thought.

Iacomus put his finger on the trigger of the makeshift gun and scoffed. He looked at the beast again. If it's anatomy was anything like that of a person's, he could be able to point something out to the ander, a weak point, maybe...
Clancy nodded and grabbed a hold of her, maneuvering his way onto her back, being sure to avoid her injured leg in the process. "Okay" he said, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and wrapping his legs around her waist, piggy back style "I'm, uh, in position?" That sounded really wrong regarding the situation. But she need not fear him making a move on her, for obvious reasons..

"Alright." Zona said as she heard Clancy say he was on her back, "That thing said it was over 700 years old, right, which means it needs at least 8 good hits to the head, 24 if your going to hit just the body." Zona knew all this because she had run into one of these guys before, when she was much younger and didn't know that much about the forest, luck for her it was a much, much older and kinder one. He was not one for killing and thought it better to talk and tell her about his kind, she tried to do the same thing with the little information she knew about her kind. "It'll be hard to hit the head because of how fast that thing is." Zona said as she grabbed her bow, it'll be hard to shoot since she was holding someone, but if she aimed just right and Iaco stayed still she could do it, "Iacomus, you have to stay as still as possible. I'll be using this hand to pull the arrow back, and I need a steady hand, my other one will be holding the bow." She grabbed an arrow with her hand holding the bow, and strung it, pulled back, aimed and fired (Bow I). She repeated this process 10 times, 5 hit the beast directly in the middle of the head, the other 5 hit somewhere on its body, the creature hated this and began to run back forth wildly, jumping as high as it could to grab them. It was nearly 10 feet off from grabbing Zonas legs and dragging them down, and the two of them were getting heavier and her wings and arms were beginning to burn, she would have to land soon.

"Tch" Iacomus said in response to Zona's order, but because he valued his life more than he hated the anders, he did as she had instructed. He watched as he stood still the things that went down, until the beast seemed to start to jump, it's hideous face coming ever closer to Iacomus'. He could smell the revolting stench of it's breath and the yellow growing on it's teeth seemed to almost jump out of it's mouth. Repulsive. Knowing he probably shouldn't, Iacomus was fed up with the going ons of this day and shot the beast in the eye.
"AAHHHHHH!!!!!" The beast shrieked, "How DARE you shoot! How DARE you shoot me in the EYE!!!! You WILL die!!! ALL OF YOU WILL DIE!!!!!" The beast began to run around frantically, jumping higher than before, this time inches from Zonas foot, if she lost any altitude that thing would grab on and pull them down. "Just 2 more shots!" Zona thought to herself, pulling another arrow back she shot the beast in the middle of the head, "Last shot!" As she was just about to pull back another arrow when the beast did something different. It ran into the cover of the trees and couldn't be seen, "Wha- What just happened?" Zona said, unsure of what happened.
Badger: The cuss you are. Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me? Badger: No, you cussing with me? Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me!

Clancy watched the ordeal with a sad frown. The poor creature. With every shot to it's head he resisted the urge to cringe. When the creature ran away he actually was relieved not to watch it die. "Wow, yer both really good shots! Maybe he went home?" he offered his explanation as to why the creature ran away.

"Its a feisty creature, and I don't think it would have given up so easily..." Zona said as she looked around wondering what the creature was up to or planning. Suddenly, jumping out from the treetops, the creature flew at them screaming, "You all will DIE!!!" Zona flapped her wings as fast as she could to gain as much altitude as she could in order to get out of the creatures way, but she didn't have enough time to do that. The creature was able to latched onto Zonas leg and dug its nails into her calf, deep enough to hit her bone, but due to the creatures weight it began to slip down her leg, dragging its claws as it tried to keep its hold. They were loosing altitude because Zona couldn't handle all the weight, and her wings were starting to burn, they hadn't worked that hard in a long time. "SHOOT IT!" Zona screamed to Iaco not able to shoot it herself because if she let them hit the ground it would be all over, "JUST SHOOT THE GOD drat BEAST!!!"

Iacomus frantically shot his gun until the few bullets he had ran out, and the makeshift design of the weapon fell to pieces and dropped out of his hands.
