((finally... an intro to my charrie...))
Exara placed a tentative paw on the beginnings of an upward slope culminating in a large, rocky mountain. She peered back over a shoulder blade to see the long, grassy lands of Shadow Clan. She ached to lay down in that grass and rest her paws, sore from traveling. Not there... not there... She reminded herself. So said the old timer from Merin. Shadow Clan was not to be trusted.
Merin.she sighed. How she missed her old home and the white, gleaming coats of the other lions. But Merin was gone now...
Once again she looked hopefully up to the summit of the mountain. Maybe it held something for her, something, someone that could help her. With almost unreal celerity, Exara picked her way up the mountain emerging on the summit in less then five minutes.

A dark lithe figure appeared ten feet from the white lion. Great yellow orbs looked over her quickly as Nightmare leapt from, rock to rock. "And you are?" the black leopard asked, standing on a large rock a few feet away.

Her ears twitched as she took in the dark leopard, but no emotion could be told from her actions. "An ambassador, a servant, a ruler," She took a step to the side and forward so her silver orbs could lock with the leopard's yellow ones. "I am all those things." She licked her paw with a sandpaper tongue, never taking her eyes away from the leopard.

"Ruler?" she said softly and leapt down to the lion's level. "I am the bringer of darkness and the goddess of war. My dubbance is Nightmare." She held her head high as always, long thin tail flicking back and forth.

Exara blinked, Nightmare's statement resounding in her mind. Darkness and war, the same deadly combination that had taken Merin from her. "Greetings to you, Nightmare," she said calmly, expertly hiding her edge. "I am Exara, of Merin."

"What brings you here Exara?" Nightmare asked, remaining relaxed. Blinked, then spoke calmly, the leopard thought with a very faint smile. My words have gotten to her. Either that, or she didn't understand them.

"Circumstances," she said lightly, shaking her head a bit. Exara sat down and wrapped her tail around her back leg. She tilted her head innocently to the side, but her gaze was as intense as ever. "Horrible circumstances."

Nightmare sat, tail tapping the ground at her side.
A tan leopard leapt to her side. Hie orbs were focused on Exara. "Who is this Nightmare?" he asked.
"Exara," the ebony leopard answered, relaxing to lie on her stomach.
"Excuse my lack of manners," his eyes softened their gaze a little. "I am Drae."

Exara's tail flicked about her leg as her orbs slowly traced over Drae. She said nothing for a moment, observing the pair once more, then her ears shifted slightly as she spoke. "Hello, Drae," She looked to Nightmare and strangely enough, she yearned to trust both leopards with the fate of Merin, but she knew that any animal with darkness or war in their title could not know her mission, and Nightmare held both. Drae she was still unsure of. "Is there a ruler of this land?" she asked finally.

"Not," Drae paused. "Exactly. Rocky Point is the home of any creature who is fit enough to defend his post." His tail flicked and he glanced at Nightmare. The tan leopard padded forward and disappeared into the gathering fog.
