Miss Gizmo

It's time, at last, to change few things around. This thread will be in heavy works for few time.
Don't worry the shop is still active. We just need to re-organise all the rules and stuff.

If you have any question be sure to post in the thread.

:: HISTORY ::
User Image

Lauradyss is the name of a forest, a very big one, and a very old one.
The kind of forest that was tall and old as the first monkey decided to become a human and descend from his tree.

The ground at this place is virgin. The clay has memories.
Till the dawn of times, the ground and the trees see the life around them. Animals evolve slowly while playing with their siblings. Loving, hunting and dying. The humans; all different, always running, always searching for something, always fighting against their brother, loving a little and dying in suffering.

The Forest never understood the humans.

And the humans never understood the Forest.

Humans don't stay much time in the Lauradyss Forest because it's too wild, because they find it weird. They say that it is haunted by phantoms; they say that it's a cursed land.

That's just because they don't take the time to listen
and they don't try to understand the voices that whisper in the trees ^ ^

It's a sacred place, a pure land.
Lauradyss is a Dream
Lauradyss is eating the dreams of the world, the hope of the living.
Lauradyss gives birth to dream and hope creatures.

It's easy to go there, every tree has the key, every branch remembers the grand mother of the forests, and every leaf remembers Lauradyss.

I often go there, because it's quiet and beautiful.

I've seen a lot of creatures in this place some scary and some adorable.
Poussin, my magpie, often comes with me.

All began this morning.
I found some strange stones, very big, rounded and had the sweet color of chocolate.
I took one in my hands; it was really big, but not so heavy.

A voice came from a tree.

- They are the last, and they can't live.

I started, and looked up.

A wonderful white and gold greature was looking down at me. She was like an howl, big as a tiger, and she had very large and very big copper wings.

I couldn't say anything, as I understood that I was holding not a stone... but an egg.

I stammered "excuse me" And she came close to me.

That's how I met Bubo.

We talked a lot. She told me about her dying race, the Zios
She was a first born of this race, She was a dream of the Forest.
She told me that the eggs didn't hatch, because there were not enough dreams left in Lauradyss. Not enough hope.

She told me that if I took an egg with me, to keep it in the land of Gaia where there is a lot of people, a lot of dreams and hope, a Zio would probably birth.

I wanted to help her. But I had already a little cait and a magpie.
I wasn't sure to give enough love to a so fragile creature.

I told Bubo that I could take the eggs, and entrust them to some gaians.

She keep the silence a few seconds, then, told me that it was a good idea.

The twilight was coming, I took the 4 eggs, looking like chocolate, and just before I leaving she told me.

- Come back in few moons, I'll find some other eggs that you'll can help.

That's how I met Bubo, that's how I met the Zio race.
Now, if you feel to help these eggs ^ ^

Bubo guided me to a nest in Lauradyss with five big big skittles in it.
I was really surprised because theses eggs looked so weird in such a old and magic forest...
She told me that the wish of the modern people in Gaia give the life to the Zios.
That's why Zios can have a unnatural appearance such as these skittles.

I took them in my bag, and before leaving Bubo I asked

"Bubo, you seem to be a very old Zio... Is there another Zio like you ?"

She sighed

" No, I'm the only Sage left here... But now that some eggs have hatched. When some of the zios will be ready, I'll come with you in Gaia, choose some of them and initiate them to be a Sage to. "

It was time to go back home, the moon was high and the stars shone brigh. It really was a beautiful evening.
Ninikouak and I were walking our way in the forest to go back in "Le Nid de Pie" in Durem.
We hadn't found any eggs this time, but the walk was really nice, and we were quite happy singing and laughing through the forest.

A shadow passed in front of the moon, and few seconds later the friendly but impressive silhouette of Bubo stood in front of us.

The silence of the forest was deep, as if all the night creatures of this wood were keeping their breath.

Bubo leant, and let at her paws two little copper fur balls.

Theses two creatures looked like Esteban, my little faun-fox.
Before we had the time to ask her anything Bubo told us :

" They are Fixies, a very old folk of Lauradyss, and they disappeared far before the zios."

Then Bubo explained us that with all the zios that were coming back to life in Gaia, some magic slowly came back in this old forest. Enough to make some old races come back, enough to make the fixies come back.

Ninikouak and I said that there were no problem, and that we would take care of the fixies as we did with the zios.

Bubo seemed to be satisfied about that.

Later, as we were walking at home carrying the two little cutties
3nodding I told to Ninikouak about my worries.

- Taking care of the zios and of their little new companions takes me a lot of time... I hope that I'll be able to give my time to these two cub.

Ninikouak smiled at me

- Don't worry Giz, I'll take care of all the "Fixies" stuff ^___^

Miss Gizmo - 12.08.2006

December was still young, and the cold days were waiting to come and stay in the Durem’s streets. It was a fresh, windy but sunny morning that I decided to go into the forest, with Poussin, and my two freshly grown boys, Sylvestre and Esteban.
Sylvestre was taller now, but still completely mad, he was running everywhere he could and searching for treasures under the leaves cover. Esteban, was nearly as tall as me now… and always quite shy. He was walking next to me and was finding some joy and delight in the last Autumn’s light.

Now used to some ways in the forests we went quite far, where the reality seems a bit different, and the peace rules between the trees.

Esteban was attracted in some direction, but I’ve never go this way before, and I was scared to follow him, this forest can change. I know it.

- Please Gizmo, there’s something there, I smell it !!
- Smell ? I smell nothing
- It’s just something…. Light really light in the wind… I smell it with … my heart.
- stare
- Really !!! Oh please !!
- Ok, ok, let’s keep a trace of our way with some little stones… I don’t want to be lost here.

The last leaves red and gold covered the soil, and we start a walk to somewhere I’ve never been in the forest. Few minutes after, we met and incredible tree.
This tree was climbed on a wonderful rock. A black big stone with a lot of signs on it. And the tree was… wow… Several centuries old, for sure. And two of its bigger branchs were starting from the rock and elevated to the sky, forming a “V”.
I’ve never so Esteban so enthusiast, and stranger than that, Sylvestre was scared and he was hiding behind me.

Before I could do anything, Esteban attracted by the tree start to climb the stone to touch it. In the “V” shape, the light of the day was different… It was strange.
I wanted to scream at my fixy, I was scared too, but a soft and familiar voice came behind us.

- This gate is closed, and the key is not easy to find.

Esteban looked back, and so did I. Bubo was standing behind us, and looking at the black and silver fixy.

- Your magic senses are already fine, young fox, if your steps came here without being lost.

Esteban came back, close to me, really impressed by Bubo, his big blue eyes wide open, as if he hesitated between fear and admiration.
The Elder of the zios had a mysterious expression, and turned to somewhere else, we followed her.

She lead us to the end of the forest… We could saw Durem’s lights from where we were, and she told me :

- Life is coming back in the old forest, and some old deities are awaking now. My folks used to say that when Gods were breathing, their breath could come into life. We call these creatures the Sùles, it means Spirit in a very ancient langage.

She showed me three small engraved stones with a jewel wrapped up on.

- Take theses stones with you, because there are Sùles sleeping inside. Take care of them and if you can make the Sùle awake, then come near the old gate before Solstice, I’ll find another Ambal.
- Ambal ?
- That’s the name of theses stones.

After that, I went back in my shop, holding carefully the three Ambal, with Esteban helping me. They were little stone indeed, about the size of a hand, but they were quite eavy.

- Are you gonna take care of these three stone by yourself ?
- I know that you will help me Esteban, and see this one ? His jewel is like a golden eye, I’ll give this stone to Ninikouak, it reminds me something about the stories that she writes. And this one, with this curious purple metal, I’ll give it to Opportune, there I something about this jewel that makes me think about her.
- You keep the last one ?
- Yes… This emerald jewel is just hypnotising me… I feel a special wave when I touch this stone, as if it was calling me. I’ll keep this one ^ ^
