“Cyanne take it easy
with that post you don’t need to kick it so hard.” Ursa told her gently, as the
cub added another kick to it with her foot. Ursa told her to try running up to
the post and kicking it, Cyanne did it, Ursa knew this wasn’t really anything
big but away for Cyanne to build the muscle in her legs. That’s all that she
wanted to do with her for now with her being so young. The cub looked a little
worn as she ran back to it again. Seeing this Ursa told her to stop for a bit and get some water, and told
her it was time for a lay down. Cyanne whimpered but didn’t argue, heading into
her room she never made it to her room though she fell asleep right in the
middle of the halls. Seeing her Gritty
smiled and took her to her room and laid her in the bed.
“I take it, Ursa’s
worked you pretty good.’ He said heading out the door. Several hours later Ursa
headed into the little girl’s room
“Cy, it’s dinner
time, come on you need get up and eat.” Cyanne just groaned a bit but opened
her eyes. Ursa helped the child up and told her to head on down everyone’s
waiting for her.
Timmy had to laugh a
bit seeing what Grubbi had set a the table,
“what’s so funny?”
“The fact that you
guys are going to have fun trying to get Cyanne to eat that. She won’t touch
any kind of vegetables with a ten foot pole.” Timmy said.
“Vegetables!” Cyanne
whined “No I eat!” She said “<no>
in Barbic. Then darted under the table. Buddi stared at the cub for a
moment, before not saying anything, But looked to Ursa, she shook her head
telling him that if he did that he would be in trouble. He stopped for a bit,
and being glad that Grubbi had changed his bandages so that it was easier for
him to move about, and that he could do a few things, even know it wasn’t much.
“Cyanne come out
from there.” Ursa said gently, but sternly the child seeing that she didn’t
have a choice climbed back into her seat.
“That’s better now
eat.”
“But I don’t like
those.” Cyanne whimpered,
“Cyanne you need to
eat them anyways.” The four year old girl shook her head no. and threw the
plate, it landed smack into Ryo’s face. Buddi sat there laughing as Ursa pulled
Cyanne out and drug her out of the room and back to her own. Ursa pulled the
cub to her,
“You bearess, you
are not to throw food at anyone just because you do not like them. And you are
not to disobey me for any reason is that understood?” Cyanne nodded her head as
Ursa pulled the small girl closer. Tears had already started to form in her
eyes.
“I sorry, Ursa I’ll
be good,”
“I know you are, but
I want you to have a firm idea of what happens when you decided to act up at the table, I’m sure your mother has
taught you to know better then that. As well as show you want happens when you
disobey me.” Ursa said taking the child over her knee and giving four hard
smacks to Cyanne’s backside. Ursa then
stood her up and put her in the corner.
“You can now deal
with HIM!” Grubbi said pointing to Buddi as Ursa walked in,
“What did Buddi do?”
Ursa asked.
“First he was
laughing at Cyanne’s stunt, and he refuses to eat his own vegetables.” Ursa
nodded and ordered Buddi to his room.
She followed.
“Mamma, I hate those
things and you know it.”
“I don’t care if you
like them or not, you need to eat them expecally now, while your body is
healing.” Buddi shook his head ,
“I’m still not
eating them.” He told her.
“Buddi you have a
choice you van either eat them or I can get a needle and inject the nutrition into you that way.”
“No!” he told her, Ursa just nodded then left then returned with the syringe and ordered Buddi to bend over.
“No” Ursa didn’t say
anything just walked over and bent the cub herself sticking the needle
“MAMMMA! “ Buddi
yelped.
“You should have
listened to me” She told him, “Now this
is going to happen every night until you eat
then on your own.” SHe tld him
“But I don’t like
them.”
“It’s still going to
happen .” She tol him leaving the room. When she got in the kitchen Cyanne was
sitting there slowly eating, her face fluch.”
‘eat.” Ursa said
simply.
“I’m trying” Cyanne said
weakly. “Ursa, I’m hot!” she told her. Knowing that look anywere, Ura picked
her up and told her that they were going to see Grubbi,
“I’m fine Ursa, just
really hot,” when they got into sickbay Grubbi barked some orders as he pulled
all of Cyanne’s clothing off her. As soon as he was finished getting the fever
under control, He stood and told ursa to keep up what she was doing and headed
off.
“Grubbi whats going
on?why do you look like that
he glares at SelenaI
step back whats going on
“you didn't get yer
cubs their vaccines”
“I didn't know about
the vaccienes until a short while ago and have been trying for awhile to get
everyone done, infact Melody and Chyanne are with Ulisa at the moment getting
theirs”
“well, you missed
Cyanne”
“I was going to get
her next Like I said I never even knew of them I mean I never had anything
myself”
“well, Cyanne has
Tria's fever”
“say what? I asked
fear starting into my heart
Tria's Fever, a
sickness so intense we say it comes from the Age of Pain herself” I nodded and
said I was on my way

I nodded cause I

as soon as we got to
sickbay I ran to my daughter and started talking to her and telling her how
sorry I was for this, I didn't mean to hurt her
tears came to my
eyes as I talked to the child
grubbi merely ssays,
"we caught it in time Selena, she'll be fine
I nodded again and
said if you hadn't I would have never forgiven myself
he jsut said,
"she needs to rest. she'll be fine
I nodded again

sample of blood and fur
I nodded and follows
him to another room
grubbi drew a small
vial of blood and then a hair sample and fur sample.
I then asked him how

"give me a few minutes
I nodded and headed out

had any might nevre have
he merely nodded,
"ya remember anything about yer parents clans?
I shook my head the
last thing I remeber is watching them burning at the stake by humans they had
sent me out before hand, but I watched from the brushes
he nodded, "I'm
guessing, one of yer aprents was 1/2 Glen and 1/2 Royal and the other was
barbic
i nodded and said I
was trying to find out at the time too if i had any family left from that time
grubbi merely
nodded. "I've seen odder mixes" *he smiled*
her fever seems like
its up again, I told himgrubib nodded, "that's normal..it'll rise and
fall. just keep rubbing her face with that water
I nodded, I do know
that the camp was a slave camp its self, they were trying to get rid of all the
gummies cause they had heard they been found out
he merely nodded
again, stoic. "I've seen a lot of pain. He smiled, "how old do I
look?:
I smiled and said about
30
he smirked, "I
wish...now, I'll be 112 this year
I blinked wow!
he smiled againm
"well, gummies will live on average about a 1000 years, Selena
I nodded still not
knowing anything about my kind
or Gummies in
general
he smiled, "do
you know the glen and royal recipe for the juice?
no I don't
if ya wanna learn,
sunni or grammi can teach you. we barbics don't use it
i nodded
we barbics are the
longest lived clan as well. we've been known to hit 1050
would it be best for
my glen and royal cubs for me to learn ir
I looked at him
shocked
it's a major part of
those heritages
he smiled,
"we're most advanced of the clans in medicine and health
I nodded
I'll start
learning he smiled, "we're most
advanced of the clans in medicine and health
I nodded
I'll start learning
then I guess or let the older cubs learm
he nodded again
I want to do all I
can to make their lives the way their supose to be
well, learn about
the glens ways from the glens...Gummadooon gummies are what we consider
"royal"
I nodded and started
to plan ways to teach all the cubs what they would need
selenity1001: Grubbi
is is posible that after I learn this stuff that I would be able to start my
own clan?
He
nodded, "anyone can start a can...I think you already have one
I do? I asked
you've got how many kids?
18 but I
still really know nothing about gummi ways
you can
learn...and you know originally there were just glen and royal gummies, we
barbics broke away and began our own tradition
I nodded
Grubbi can you teach me all that I need to know I mean after she's better? i
can teach you about barbic ways if you want
I nodded I would like that
he nodded, "Do you want to know about ALL our
ways? I know your cubs and you are dedicated to Gum. We barbics have the
additional belief of the 4 ages
I nodded all of it that way I can teach all that comes
into my home what their supose to know, and I can also understand my barbic
cubs better
as well as for my self
Grubbi nodded. "Of course simply because you
teach them their ways doesn't mean they have to follow them. And it might make
you understand our holidays better." he smiled "Coming of the Seasons
is arriving soon
wahts that? I asked
Coming of the Seasons is festival we do for Natur, the
Age of Spring
I never heard of that
it's our biggest holiday
I never heard of it, though what happens in it
grubib chuckled, "well, do you know anythign
about the 4 Ages?
no I don't
well, long story short: we believe Gum and Lachuso
were created at the beginning of time. Neither one wanted to command certain
powers so Gum created 3 sisters: Eruta who she gave limited power over death
and winter ,Tria who controlled summer and pain, and Joyu who rules autumn and
joy. they are soley dedicated to duty so Gum created a 4th behind her sister's
back. Natur controls life and spring
and she is the sole one who can feel pity
I nodded listening but turned hearing my cub coughing
I started speaking to her in what little barbic I knew struggling with it
grubbi knelt as well asn gently coached Selena through
the words, correcting much of her pronounciation
as soon as the cub had calmed down I looked to him,
Sorry I'm only still learning, I didn't even know it until Timmy came around
I didn't even know there was such a language
grubib answered, "we barbics don't teach other
clans our languages
I nodded, can I learn?
I want
to learn all that I can from all sides
