Family Meeting
Finally, the two sisters had returned home; it was a secluded but vast place. The entrance was hidden; only those with Teran blood knew where it was; both species lived there, most of them living in homes reinforced by the natural stone mountain that protected them from the elements. Those with wings, however, lived up in the higher areas. It was nothing like the convent the majority grew up in except for the personal barracks. Still, it was home to a closer connection with Tera, so it was loved.
When the two entered, they were welcomed with the familiar sights of their people, the harpies and wing hybrids flying above a few ground hybrids in their animal forms, working or just speaking with others. "Luna, Lily, you were supposed to be back a half-hour ago," a voice yelled at them. The cats froze as a figured stomp towards them; it was a petite hybrid female with curly red hair; her skin was tan from the sun, but they brought out the red ring markings are her arm. The two beings yelled, pinning their ears back in submission "what kind of a leader are you coming back late" the women hissed at the others. "I'm sorry, Rosemary, I noticed the Cybertrioans fighting. I lost track of time," was all Luna could muster "they are always fighting," she hissed, grabbing each by the arm and pulling them towards a much larger built-in building in the mountain. It was the clinic that all hybrids went to, pushing them through the entrance where another figure was already in.
One of the few male presenting hybrids, black shoulder length messy, thick hair with dark green highlights and brown eyes, look at them. He wore camouflage-style clothes, and his shirt was a solid green. At the same time, his pants were the mix, his combat boots matched the color of his shirt the crystals were the only actual bright color in his whole outfit "why can't you be more like your brother Rocky" Rosemary hissed "he is constantly on guard duty while sister and I are patrollers" Lily argued "excuse as always sister" the male smirk "shut it you dog" Lily yelled at him "don't get all pissy kitty" he shot back but started to growl and hiss at each other.
Luna sighed; why can't her den siblings get along at times "enough already," she commanded, silencing the two. She turned to the doctor of the hybrids. "Rosemary, please do the examinations," she spoke with a smile "finally," the medic grumbled but also gave a soft one back to her; walking to another part of the clinic for tools, the lion turned to the dog hybrid "Rocky when it is over I want you to announce that all Cybertrorian raised are to come to the inner cave for a meeting understood" she orders her brother tilted his head at her Lily mimic him "why?" he question Luna let out a breath "I'll announce it there" was all she said just as the medic returned "are we the last ones you'll be seeing today?" she asked the physician as she returned.
The doctor glared at her leader "you always are; despite being the leader of the hybrids, you all insist on being the least taken care of," she huffed "the people must come first, so we have a better way of life" was all the lion said as she removed her jacket with a relaxed look on her face Rosemary chuckled "this is why you are the leader" as she picks up a stethoscope "now let's begin.”

A deep cave in the mountain had pure, clean energy running through it when the first combination experiments began and became part of Tera's daily life. The unique fuel had suddenly appeared, but only in certain areas; it was one of the main points that the hybrid refugees had made a home here. It was nightfall when those who were raised and lived on Cybertron till the day the war started were gathered except for the hybrid high priestess, that was a full-blooded lampia, or snake woman Luan stoop on a stone ledge where all could see her tiny drops of Energon spray onto her from the waterfall silence fell as she raised her arms to the crowd "my sisters and brothers I call us here because it is time we finally must admit that the war will not stop on its own between the Cybertronians" noises repeated from the crowd "so then what would be your solution" a strong voice spoke out front the upper parts of the cave.
Luan looked up to see the leader of the flying hybrids speaking, Celeste; she was tall and slender but significantly toned. Her hair was extended in the front, a shot in the back; her eyes were hazel, and they were staring down at the lioness who continued on, "there was a reason why I called you all here; we grew up on Cybertron we had connections with the bots that are now trying to kill one another it means that we have a chance of doing what our species should have done when the war started to talk them into peace" more voices rose this time Luan look at her siblings who were watching her and the crowd when the sound of wing beat came beside her with a flash of light.
Celeste stood in the moonlight; her maroon feathers that grew alongside her head stood out more as the two leaders stood each other down momentarily. Luna feared that Celeste would try to overthrow her, but instead, the flier addressed the crowd "Luna is correct; we need Cybertroians, and they need us; we cannot mate with purebloods, and we cannot continuously mate with each other we need more diversity and more protection from the neutrals and diesters of Tera" she preaches the two leaders look at each other "this is the only way to ensure our survival as a species they will not attack us or all of Tera will attack them which is something they cannot risk" Luan continued "so together we must help them so we can help ourselves."
Suddenly the high priest said, "the way of Tera is one of life and of peace, something that the Cybertroians have forgotten" Luna's breath hitched; was the high mother refusing her plane?
"But it is Lady Oceanic's way to heal, to create, and so we must now put ourselves in this war to do just that" the snake woman looks at Luna. "I, high priestess Lialia, give you her blessing!" the religious figure said; the crowd cheered as Celeste, Rocky, and Ivy gathered around their leader, who had tears standing in her eyes full of hope.
