Spirit Animals

Spirit Animals:7 STAR KEEPER

Alyssa couldn't believe it. She had arrived just the day before and now they were setting out on a journey. For a talisman and not to mention Ninnani's Talisman.
As they were walking on a muddy trail a little bit away from Sunset Tower, she went over what had happened to her in just a few days. Well first, she'd summoned Majesty, came to Sunset Tower, met the Four Fallen and Reese, and was now setting out on a journey.
Alyssa was just idly walking down the muddy trail, daydreaming about what lay ahead when suddenly she ran into someone.That someone just happened to be Meilin she sent Alyssa a threatening glare.
Alyssa already knew most of the group didn't trust her. She got that from the first time they met. Her only friend right now was Reese. Sure Abeke had a big cat for a spirit animal, but she was always sending her weary glances.
What had she done? Sure she had summoned two spirit animals and arrived so suddenly, but what had she actually done?
The tension on the trail was so thick you could cut it with a knife. By now they we far enough away that they couldn't see Sunset Tower. They were supposed to go to the shore closet to the tower in the north and wait for Tellun's Pride, their traveling ship, to arrive. From were they were walking you could see the crystal blue ocean riding lazily up onto shore. This was the first time she had ever been to a beach and she wanted to explore. As the youngest of five she didn't get much attention. That's why she loved her grandmother so much; she could talk to her about anything.
They had finally stopped and just waited for the ship to arrive. There was a silence among the group. The only sound was the waves. While waiting, Alyssa let out Majesty and Royalty. They seemed excited to finally be out and went to walk around. They neared close to Rollan and both of them jumped gently and licked his face.
Rollan was blushing bright red while the Twin Tigers both had their tongues rolling out of their mouths.
Alyssa apologized and said with a whisper,"I'm sorry Rollan please forgive them. It was just for fun I promise. Here you go", she offered him a white handkerchief with many designs on it.
Rollan took it and said," That's ok. At least you have a deep bond with your spirit animals. Could you teach me how to have a deeper bond?"
Alyssa was stunned. She now just realized that Essix wasn't really around Rollan as much as the others spirit animals.
She replied saying,"Rollan, having a deeper bond with a spirit animal isn't something you can teach, it's something that happens only when the spirit animal feels ready."
Rollan was quick to reply with,"But you just summoned Royalty a day ago and she already trusts you."
Royalty stalked over to Alyssa almost as if saying,"say something to the boy to make him shut up!"
Alyssa said in a in searing tone,"I think the reason for that is how Majesty and I had a good bond. If her sister trusted me then maybe she should too. Even if she only just met me. She is my spirit animal and is apart of my family now."
Majesty came to join them and purred in agreement along with her sister.
Meilin made a comment and said,"Yeah, that's nice and all, but don't you think you're being mean to your real family? I mean you just straight up and left them, right? Plus they have no idea where you are except for that you went off with a greencloak. Then again, you're weird enough already having two spirit animals. Impossible! No wonder your family doesn't care about you."
Alyssa was shocked. She just sat there. Meilin just turned a pleasant conversation into a whole lot of tension. How could she do that,Alyssa thought?
Alyssa replied and yelled at Meilin,"Don't you dare make fun of my spirit animals, okay? Who said I wanted all this? All I have now is Royalty and Majesty. My family didn't even come to my ceremony, alright!"
Everyone was shocked by this. At everyone else's ceremony at least one of their family members came.
Alyssa continued,"My family never cared about me,so why should I care about them? Only did my grandmother ever care about me and she's gone right off the face off the earth! So why don't you call out your spirit animal and use her calming and wiseness to help you realize that Jhi's a great spirit animal. Your too blind to notice that because you wanted a spirit animal who'd be ready to battle. Jhi is a great spirit animal, she told me so."
Alyssa stopped right there everyone stared at her. She hadn't meant for it to slip.
"How did you know about Jhi's powers, and how I'm not satisfied with Jhi? How did she tell you? Tell me!"
Alyssa didn't know what to do. Reese came up behind her a put a hand on her shoulder as if to say that she was with her.
Alyssa started to explain," Well, ever since Royalty got here, I have been having dreams about people's past and memories and current thoughts. Though it's only when it's their month of their Zodiac.
That's why I can understand people so well, and I'm an early riser. Right now it's the scorpio's month, so that would include you and Reese. I only have the dreams when I,Royalty, or Majesty senses some sort of distress inside a person. I'm supposed to be the girl to help that go away. It's my job as the so called "Star Keeper". The only reason I know this is because ever since I summoned the twins, I have been visited by every single Great Beast in my dreams and they just keep coming. I'll see one of the Great Beasts, and then they'll say one of your names and I'll know everything about you up until this point."
Both Majesty and Royalty muzzled her palm with their heads. Everyone was shocked except for Reese. Alyssa questioned why.
