When they first entered the village grounds, Aria was so tired from having to keep up the pace that her eyes were closing instinctively while the coming of the night beckoned her to go to sleep. She came to her senses the minute her blue eyes spotted the two wolfish guards and the hair on her back stood on end with fear, while her skin filled with goosebumps.<br/>“I th- thought this was a village for rabbits!” she gasped, walking past the guards, almost stumbling on her feet.<br/><br/>"BLINK! Why didn't you tell me your village has wild anima…” there was something within her mixed senses which told her to stop and not use any words she might regret telling. It was indeed very strange for her to see wolves and horses and rabbit-like creatures living together in peace, not hunting and trying to eat eachother, which made her to ask herself what exactly was it that they ate.<em>Their..creators perhaps?</em>came the sudden reply of Aria’s mind.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Her pearly white teeth started to chatter due to the cold air, yet there was nothing much she could do but embrace herself to keep warm.She hoped that the creatures living in the village would give her the respect a “Creator” deserves and try their best to send her back home if she would ask it. For now, all she wanted was something to cover her body, a decent meal and a very, very long rest.<br/>Aria followed the bunny-boy closely, afraid to go anywhere on her own, asking herself where the shaman and the chieftan might be and whit kind of..persons they were. She had little time to think about what she will answer when they will surely ask her why and how she came here.<br/>“Finally!” she yelled and rushed over to where a friendly camp fire was burning, holding her hands above it to warm up. At first she didn’t see anyone near it because of the flames, but as soon as she got closer Aria saw two cheetahs guarding the fire.<br/><br/>“I’m sorry!” she cried and turned back to her bunny guide as fast as possible, not looking back. She almost took Blink’s hand in her own instinctively, but yet again she backed away.<br/><br/>"What kind of a ...creature is your chieftan?" she asked politely, already imagining the worst. Her erratic heart couldn't take much more in just one day. It never occured to her that she would have to stay in Thunder Village more than a night, for Aria time travelling was supposed to be the norm here, probably because this was the first place that damned whirpool took her. Of course it will be difficult to make them understand that technology in her time was less complex (oh how she hoped this was the case) than theirs and that sending her back into the past should be a piece of cake for them, but seeing the village and their way of life, Aria started to doubt the chances.<br/>
