User ImageSince returning from her little adventure with Miela, Daring Do had been putting on the finishing touches on her latest book. She had been working on it since she had returned from her 'summer trip'. The journey with Miela had been long, certainly, to get there. Although, it had been disappointing when they couldn't find the entrance to the location that Miela had been talking about so the 'adventure' aspect had been lacking. It was curious that they couldn't find it. It made Daring Do wonder if she would be able to find the exit she had emerged from in the underground tunnels that she had been stuck in with Sunny Jones.

Daring Do had returned home with some sort of consolation prize, however, a small... well she wasn't entirely sure what it was and she hadn't sought out any advice on it from a native to the island either. It looked like a seed, and it also looked like a rock. Daring Do had debated on planting it to see if something grew... but the idea of how silly she would feel for planting a rock in the ground dissuaded her from doing so. Either way, the object was now on a shelf with other treasures she had gathered from her journeys.

She placed the final dot at the end of her final sentence and with that, the book was finished. No sooner had she set the previous pages on top of the last page a great clash came from the shelf. Daring Do looked over, some of the runes she had found on her previous trip had shattered on the ground. Oh dear... "What in..." she said as she stood up. There on her shelf was the... oddest, yet somehow adorable, little infant she had ever seen. The infant was looking at her with startled red eyes at the commotion he had just caused.

Daring stared in shock at the tiny little pae sitting on her shelf like it belonged there. Only... it didn't. Daring rushed over to him without a second thought before he could break something else, or worse: himself. She scooped him up off the shelf and into her arms. Daring Do was an adventuring pae, mommy instincts were not readily there, but as soon as she held him to her it was like a switch had flipped.

It seemed that the touch had created a reaction in the child as well. Much like how her touch had awoken the seed in the first place, the child seemed to recognize her touch and relaxed from his previously startled state. He cooed and smiled at her, feeling safe and warm now.

Daring Do was at a loss for what to do. It was a pae, right? Something about his face looked familiar like a baby fauny from her lands, but the rest of him...

This would certainly mean a lot less adventuring for her now, but he was too cute for her to feel anything less than love for.

Where did she begin?! "Well I guess I should start by giving you a name... Elias." Daring Do had a feeling that her stories were going to be about a different sort of adventure from now on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daring Do was unaware, but something else had happened when she returned from her trip with Miela. A small pinky boy had followed her from the forest. He had slipped into Laisidhiel relatively unnoticed, after-all he was a faun and it was not abnormal to see a young faun walking around in Laisidhiel.

The boy had been biding his time, waiting to show himself to the fauny he had followed. Maybe she could be his mother? He didn't quite know what a mother was, but something inside told him that he should have one. His brown eyes looked on as she discovered the shiny bauble was a little boy, just like him. And his eyes saddened as she scooped the boy up in her arms. It looked like there wasn't room for him in her heart anymore.

With that realization the boy slipped back out of Laisidhiel and back into the forest. Perhaps, he was just supposed to be a lost boy.

After the Summer Carnival...

It hadn't been very long since Elias and Daring Do had returned from the carnival. The mother and son duo had a great time together with the rides and games. Elias had cried at first after his cake had been stolen only a few bites into it, that boy only had a one-track mind for food at his age. However, the cat who had stolen the cake had, oddly, bonded with Elias fairly quickly. Daring Do had completely forgotten about the wish she made to the genie at the carnival.

It was an odd relationship to oversee, Elias was... as best as Daring could compare... an insect-like pae. Whenever Daring Do saw the kitten, Cupcake, swat at a fly... she couldn't help but think of the cat's relationship with Elias as being odd.

The only time Elias and Cupcake did not get along were the times when food was involved, both the boy and the cat had to be fed at the same time so that they were so preoccupied with their own meal they didn't notice what the other had.

Daring Do had just finished plating two apple salad sandwiches for Elias and herself, and one plate of fish for the cat when she heard a noise coming from the other room.

"Mrowr... Mrowr... mrrr---------owwwww?"

"Hold on Cupcake, its almost ready." Daring Do called out with a roll of her eyes. Since when had her life become so domestic? As Daring finished the final preparations on lunch she made a pondering look. It was kind of odd that Elias hadn't asked about food yet. In fact he had been pretty quiet the whole time she had been working on it.

"Eli, food is ready." She called out.

Daring Do only heard the calls of the cat in response... strange.

Her heart was beginning to race now as the left the food behind to look for her son. Daring followed the cries of the cat, she seemed to know something. "Elias..." Daring Do made her way to the boy's room, there she found Cupcake pawwing at a strange looking object that had not been in his room before. In some ways, the object reminded Daring of the seed pod that Elias had originally emerged from, but it was also completely different. "Elias... honey... are you in there?" Daring Do looked at the object hesitantly before tapping on it lightly with her hand. No response. There was no guide-book on the care and keeping of your bug-child... Daring Do didn't know who she could really go to about this... perhaps Zecora would have some answers.
