New day, New times and a new start..

[[§]Zeon[§]]

It is Early morning in the Kalahari, A usual wake up time for meerkats and many other creatures that lurked about in this desert land. Just about one feet and a half under ground laid a family huddle of meerkats, they seemed to be keeping each other warm from the cold nights. But one large male meerkat was already up and about. Small pads provided him with something that was kinda like shoes, protecting his paws from the hot Kalahari sand. But on this morning, the sand wasn't hot at all. It was rather warm along with the breeze that gently brushed through the Savannah. The tan figure let out a low chirp as he gently yet carefully made his way out of the burrow, He gave a quick scan to make sure he was awakening to anything big and frightening to not only him but his life and the life of his family.


His name was Zeon and he was kinda new to the whole Dominant male thing, But Zeon knew that he had to take his position rather seriously and he'd let no one threaten his rank. Finally seeing that the cost was clear Zeon stood at the top of the burrow, Unlike most animals, Meerkats could stand on their hind legs very well; of course, they stood on their hind legs often too. But to catch speed and when they walk, like every other animal, they crawl on all fours. Meerkats have more then 10 different kinds of social vocals including, chirps, barks, growls, chitters and more. Though Zeon wasn't all that social, now that he was Dominant male of a mob, he knew that he was going to have to be. This male knew that he and Wish will make this Mob rulers of all and no one would step in their path to victory, even if it meant taking down other mobs to extend their territory.

Though it sounded harsh, it was only the way of the Kalahari and wild life wasn't easy, sometimes there is a shortage of food and one needs to venture far in order to survive, In this battle field for survival, it's either kill or be killed.

The night had been long and the cry of pups had haunted the female all night. They longed for milk constantly and the warmth of others at all times. Though Wish was a new mother she was tough with them, ignoring them at times and not worrying about them too much. Her family would usualy care for them when she coulden't. So now the crys of pups had settled and light spilled into the burrow, reflecting of the walls of the entrance and creeping into the sleeping chamber. Though there was only one chamber. Don't worry, that would soon change.

Eyes flickered slightly as the dominant female adjusted to the new light. Soft-brown eyes shifted as she skanned the chamber that everyone was in place. Zeon was missing. Wish grunted as she shifted he weight and as she tryed to break free from the huddling twist of meerkats, one held her more firmly. Wish barked and pulled herself free, she would wake them properly in a moment. Reaching forwards with her front paws, the female stretched herself in preparation for the busy day ahead of them.

Wish trotted slowly up the burrow tunnel. Squinting in the fresh rays of morn'. To her amusement, Zeon was already above ground. Wish was grateful of her new-found mate and chittered softly to him. She stood on her hinds to scan the area for any possible threats. The sun spread its orange fingers over the realm, the wind tugged gentley at her fur. The Kalahari was the place to be. The dominant female chirped to her mate, wraming him into the day and sitting beside him to groom him for a short moment. The gang needed to rise.

Tuning on her heels, Wish scurried back down the burrow to call the mob above ground. She let out several barks before trotting back up the entrance to warm her body in the yellow rays of the early morning.

Senerina's fur bristled as she woke up, shivering. It had been a cold night and her soft, thin layer of fur had not been enough to keep out the cold. She uncurled herself and looked about in the dark chamber, sniffing. Wish and Zeon had already gotten up and were probably bustling about above her head. Moving slowly and wistfully, sniffing about, Senerina padded upwards through the dark and winding tunnels. Her nose twitching furiously to get at where might be a dead end, she finally popped her head out above the ground. It was still early morning and she needed to warm herself. The young female dragged her hide out of the ground, moved over close to Wish. She propped herself up on her funny little hind legs and sat, soaking up the first rays of the sun popping over the horizon.

[//Rush//]

Rush heard movement as meerkats started to stir. He woke up to something new. Rush had recently joined the Hawkeye mob. He was normally a loner but decided to try something new. He figured that with more meerkats to live with, life would not be as hard.

Rush shook his head and headed above ground. The sun was still just getting over the horizon. It was still early morning yet the dominants had already been up. Rush thought this peculiar. When he was a loner this would be the normal time he would wake up. But with a mob, he figured, you must get up earlier. He decided to sun himself before the dominants decided to start foraging. That, he hoped, would not be too far away.

Black lined lids opened to the slow movements of half-awake meerkats, yawning while laying ontop of an unknown 'kat. The female lifted off the meerkat, probably kicking another in the process, and began to stretch as she stiff-leggedly crawled out of the huddle mass. Once out of the group, she turned her muzzle to face her rump and stared at the mountainous pile of the sleepy Hawkeye mob. It was still unknown to the yearling as to why they had to get up so d**n early - quite frankly she didn't care.

If it wasn't for the dominant female, Wish, constantly watching the females - which was her job - Chikori would sleep as long as she wanted to. However, she knew not to push her luck too much because with her teenage antics always hanging over the other's shoulders and her constant bullying she would probably be easily kicked out without a second thought about it.

After standing there for a few seconds, the year old meer' slowly made her way out of the burrow where she stopped in the middle of the entrance way. She glanced up at Rush, who was the first mob member to catch her eye, as she started to chatter and growl angrily. Her complaints would get her no where, but it was in her nature to complain about nearly everything. Feeling as slight push on her left side, she headed up the right side of the burrow entrance and sat down in the warm Kalahari sand.

The sand wasn't too hot, nor too cold for the young female. She began to feel her cranium grow heavy, along with her lids, and eventually she had fallen asleep in her half standing - half sitting position. Today, for the meer', was going to be a long one indeed.

[[§]Zeon[§]]

Zeon continued to stand on his hind legs. He shifted his attention from the horizon to his mate slowly coming out of the burrow. He watched as wih stood beside him and let out low chirping sounds. She seemed to be just alert as he was, Of course, The Dominant pair had to be as alert as possible. He stepped down as she came closer and groomed him, Zeon returned the favor by gently grooming her as well; showing his affection to his newly found mate. It usually wasn't like him to just sit back and start a mob with a she-kat at his side, but this opportunity was to good to pass up. He then stood back onto his hind legs as she walked off to awaken the rest of the mob.

He turned his head to the rising members. It didn't look like to be all the members but at least most of them were already awaken. Soon it would be time for the mob to go out for foraging and whoever was to slow to awaken would be left behind to the job of pup sitting. The Dominant male slowly moved back down to the burrow entrance, Now that their mob was slowly growing they needed to start widening the entrance for it started to narrow slightly. Using his claws Zeon started to push the sand away from the entrance. Not many males would help out with house work but no one else was doing it and if he were going to live here it was good to pitch in.

[//Rush//]

Rush saw Zeon making the opening to the burrow bigger. He figured he should help since this was all new to him. Being a loner most of his life Rush was still figuring things out. He went over to wards the Dominant Male and started to move the sand away. At least this would keep his mind off of foraging for a little.

Within a few moments the burrow entrance had opened up more. Rush moved back to see if it was wide enough. Maybe by now it would be time to start foraging. Although, there could be something else that the mobs do that Rush would have no idea about. All he could do now was sit and wait, again.

Jaws were tugged open into a yawn. The dominant female shifted her weight, relaxing in the gentle sun that beat against her fur. It wasen't long before the gang started to emerge, and just as well, too. There was a scuttle in the bush's and automaticly the females head was jerked towards it, she smelt curiosly and gave a slight call to let the others know she was unsure of somthing. The rustle grew louder for a moment and then stopped, soon it started again. Wish raised her maw to sniff at it in uncertainity, it smelt like a lizzard; and sure enough out burst a large, spined lizzard. Wish studied its large spikes and ignored it, she was still waking and her first feed usualy wasen't looking to be a leathery feast.

As Zeon dug at the entrance to increase its width, Wish trotted past him, passing Rush on the way down. She would feed the pups soon, but for now they just needed to be checked. The three small meers were huddled together and at that time still sleeping silently. Wish called for the mob to wake once again before trotting above ground yet again, growling at Zeon to move. She didn't want to be held up today. Passing him the she-kat looked around one final time. They would have only a quick morning forage, the rest of the day would be taken up by increasing the burrows size and soon maybe another forage.

[//Rush//]

Rush moved aside as the dominant female came above ground once more. He decided to leave the digging alone for a little while. The sun was just about over the horizon and the Kalahari was coming alive. Prey and predators where already out, looking for breakfast. This only made Rush more anxious. Not use to waiting for others to awaken to be able to start foraging, Rush was getting uncomfortable. His paws where telling him to start moving but his mind where telling him to stay where he was. Rush decided he better listen to his mind because if he left now, he wasn't sure he would be let back in.

Pup got up and yawnd. She walked out of the burrow and walked over Wish whom she beleaved to be her mother as she raised her from a pup. She chirped a hello and offerd to groom her. Then chirped as if saying May I babysit? she began to groom Wish then lifted her head again and chirped as if saying I can also fix up the burrow while your gone. She liked to help Wish cause she was her mother or at least thats what Pup thought and Pup loved to help her mother.

[[§]Zeon[§]]

Zeon moved out of the way and watched as wish walked pass. Though he was Dominant male, the Dominant female position was higher then his. Only a she-kat can create a mob. Zeon stepped away from the entrance of the burrow and looked down at the burrow entrance, it looked ok for now. He crawled to Wish's side and yawned lightly. He stared off into the distance watching his surroundings carefully, with such a small amount of meerkats they could probably get attacked by any kind of threat. With eyes narrowed, it gave him a better view of what he was looking at, there was this strange silence in the air and it was obvious that everyone was on their highest guard. He quickly turned his attention to one of the pups as she came from the ground. This made zeon a bit more alert, He stood up on his hind legs and continued to survey the area that surrounded them.
