Where the Sun meets the Earth
Korian padded through the forest, hoping the rest of his tribe, the earth vitas, weren't around. He rolled his shoulders, trying to satisfy an itch. That not being enough, the green vita flopped onto his back, moving his shoulders around in the brush at the edge of the forest. He quickly lept up, licking down his ruffled fur, smoothing the vine pattern down flat and thinking, "That was not proper for the son of a tribe leader..." Rolling his deep green eyes to the sky, his gaze was caught by the sun, a golden orb headed for the mountains in the distance, where it would sink out of sight. Recently, the sun had been singing strange, sad songs, like it was mourning something that none of the earth vitas knew about. Korian was just itching for an adventure, so he left the forest without a backwards glance, towards the towering mountains in the distance.

Yakumo sighed, a tear pooling in each blue eye, then falling, a fraction of a second apart, and disapearing into the yellow surface she sat on. The beautiful sky vita was curled up, her blue pelt scattered with clouds. "Why did my father lock me up here?" She thought sadly, "I can't help that I'm a Seer, and my Sight can only be used for good!" Yakumo looked around her prison, big, but barren, nothing inside the yellow orb, not even a bed. Her father had locked her up in the sun, something only sky vitas knew how to do. They had coded the lock with a strange key pattern that was in one of her clouds. Another tear dropped from Yakumo's eye. Then, peering through the yellow haze, she saw Korian.

Korian grinned, panting from exertion. He had just managed to scale the tallest mountain in the range, and reached the summit right before the sun would set. He longed to hear the beautiful music up close, and figure out why the sun could sing. Squinting his eyes from the glare, he saw the sun, a few hours from it's destination. Only a few vitas knew that the sun actually came to it's rest in the mountains, and Korian was standing right next to the dip that it lay in. Suddenly, he heard music, and this was for him, only, to hear.

Yakumo was looking at Korian one minute, then the next, a vision passed through her mind. A green pelt, covered in vines, but one of the vines had a key shape on it, like the one on her cloud. A stone was shown, the lock that her father used to trap her in the sun. Korian's name was whispered over and over. The pretty vita knew what she had to do, and realized that she had a chance of being rescued. She sang to Korian, a song ment only for him.

"Where the sun meets the earth you may find me,
The sun is where my father bound me.
You are the only one to save me,
My only wish is to be with you and free.

Where the sun meets the earth you will find me,
Use the key in your vines to unbind me.
Put your paw on the rock to save me,
My only wish is to be with you and free.

Korian gasped, realized that there was a living creature trapped inside the sun, most likely a vita, for only vitas can sing like that. All he wanted was to save her, and was determined to do so. Korian spent painstaking minutes to find the key, and craning his neck over his shoulders, he was rewarded. Instead of the vains in a leaf, there was a faint key pattern.
"Yes!" He grinned happily, and trotted over to the rock that the prisoner had metioned. It was easy to find, tall, right next to the place that the sun took it's rest. There was a shallow indent, the size and shape of a vita paw.
"That prooves that the captive is a vita!" Korian mused aloud.

Yakumo smiled, pleased that Korian had been so clever, and found the lock before her prison touched the ground. Now the slow minutes passed by until the sun reached it's base, and Yakumo counted every second. With a faint bump, the sun hit the ground, and Yakumo silently cheered.
"I hope I will be free!" She murmured softly.

Korian was nearly knocked over by the force of the sun, and a wave of heat washed over him like water. Gritting his teeth, he slowly eased over the the lock, and carefully plucked out a single fur from the key on his back. Holding it in his claws, he placed his paw on the lock. There was a flash of white light, then the world went silent for a fraction of a second. When Korian managed to open his eyes, the doors of the sun had opened, and a dazzlingly beautiful blue cat steped out, clouds dappling her pelt.
"Thank you for rescuing me Korian." Her voice was melodic and sweet. "My name is Yakumo, and I am a Seer, held captive by the sky vitas."

Yakumo could tell that Korian was compleatly shell shocked, and couldn't say a word. Suddenly, he blurted out, "Have you ever heard of love at first sight?" Then winced, realizing he spoke his mind without realizing it. Yakumo leaned towards Korian, and touched her tail to his.
"Yes I have, and I know how you feel." She purred softly. Under the light of the rising sun, the two vitas made the traditional pact of the tribes. "We, Korian and Yakumo, found a new tribe, the sun vitas. We promise to be loyal to our tribe, and serve it until we die. May our desendents lead the sun vitas for many generations."
Tails intwined, Korian and Yakumo padded off, the sun at their backs turning blue and green fur gold.
