Foolish is he who doesn't understand.
A legend tells of a gypsy woman
who pleaded with the moon until dawn.
Weeping, she begged
at the break of dawn
to marry a gypsy man.
"You'll have your man, tawny skin,"
Said the full moon from the sky,
"But in return I want the first child
that you have with him,
because she who sacrifices her child
so that she is not alone,
isn't likely to love it very much."
Moon, you want to be mother,
but you cannot find a love
who makes you a woman.
Tell me, silver moon,
what you intend to do
with a child of flesh?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,
son of the moon.
From a cinnamon-skinned father
a son was born,
white as the back of an ermine,
with grey eyes instead of olive --
moon's albino child.
"Damn his appearance!
This is not a gypsy man's son
and I will not put up with that."
~
Believing to be dishonoured,
the gipsy went to his wife,
a knife in his hand.
"Whose son is this?
You've certainly fooled me!"
And he wounded her mortally.
Then he went to the woodlands
with the child in his arms
and left it behind there.
Moon, you want to be mother,
but you cannot find a love
who makes you a woman.
Tell me, silver moon,
what you intend to do
with a child of flesh?
A-ha-ha, a-ha-ha,
son of the moon.
And the nights the moon is full
it is because the child
is in a good mood.
And if the child cries,
the moon wanes
to make it a cradle.
And if the child cries,
the moon wanes
to make it a cradle.

((For you nuts that want to spoil some of his background for yourselves before it'spolished, here's what I've got so far. Fools. And it's small to conserve space.))
Foolish is he who does not understand...
It is said that those with all the luck miss out on happiness. Such was the case with a young Romni long ago. Mirella was the best medicine woman in all of the Kumpania, and everyone went to her for advice. She was respected and admired throughout the land, and was always surrounded by friends. Yet because of her status, no man tried to get close to her out of fear. They have heard tales of a woman scorned, and had no desire for revenge from a powerful, revered figure. And so they left Mirella to her friends and her medicine.
But Mirella, for all her power and admiration, was lonely. She longed for a man to share the long nights with, to love and start a family with, and eventually to grow old with. As the moons passed, the night's silence grew unbearable. One night she prayed to the moon to send her a man, for the moon was the dreamseer, and was believed to have the power to make dreams become reality.
The moon listened to Mirella's pleas unfeelingly at first. It was she who had created her own fate, and now she must deal with it. However while the night progressed, she began to sympathize with the woman. She too was alone, without anyone to love and cherish. When the sun began to rise, she struck a deal with Mirella. She would send the woman a man, yet in return she would take their first born child, feeling that if a woman gave her child to feel loved, she could not love the baby very much. Mirella agreed, and the terms were set.
A short time later, a man named Vedel, son of the Kapo of the Kumpania, asked to court her. She joyfully accepted, and after a moon, they were married. Mirella was happier than she could ever remember being, and was even more pleased when her new husband told her the same. They reveled in each other, and nine moons after their wedding, Mirella gave birth to a son.
Vedel was overjoyed at the birth of his son, yet when he saw the child he withdrew in shock. While the father was a tawny gold, with glowing olive eyes, the child was white as the snowfall, from head to toe, and sported eyes of dull gray. Enraged, the man went to his wife, believing to have been tricked. He demanded an explanation, and when Mirella could not give him one, he drew his knife and stabbed her. Moving to do the same to his newborn son, he was frozen by the child's innocence, and instead took the baby to the woods and abandoned him there.
Mirella, in her final moments, prayed to the rising sun to help her child. The sun was angry with the moon for interfering in the lives of humans, and took pity on the woman. In exchange for the last of her life's light, he found the child in the woods and cast a spell over him. While he couldn't change the boy's appearance, he made it so that he would be seen as a normal human during the day. At night his powers weakened, and the child would be seen as he truly was. The child's right eye turned gold, and the spell was set. Smiling, the sun set the baby on the outskirts of a nearby Romany camp, and went to deal with the moon.
That evening a young woman found the boy, and took him back to the camp. He was brought before the Kapo and adopted into their Kumpania. The woman was overjoyed, for she finally had a child to call her own. She brought him to her husband, and the two embraced him as a part of their family. Yet they had no idea about the future incidents that would come with their newfound son.~
Imprisoned in a never-ending night by the sun for her insurrection, the moon watched over the child, when an idea came to her. The boy was not hers yet, but with careful planning his bond could free her yet. At night, the moon went to the new mother of the child, and gave her a warning. She was never to let anyone look upon her son after nightfall, not even the boy himself, lest a terrible fate befall them. Worried for her new son, the woman agreed, and from that day forth took careful measures to follow the moon's instructions.
Despite his exceedingly early curfew, the boy had a peaceful and happy childhood. He made friends, learned the ways of his clan, and in time started to walk, talk, and even work for the Kumpania. The only thing that set him apart were his dreams, in which a mysterious woman cloaked in silver told him stories of years past. Even as a child, he was fond of this woman, though he never told anyone about the dreams.
When the child was of an age to comprehend what the dreams said, he was told to ask to learn the arts of divination. Made curious by the strange woman, he went to his mother and asked her to teach him. She agreed, and together they explored tarot, casting, and crystallomancy, among other methods. The child was fascinated by everything he was taught, and absorbed each lesson with an almost unnatural speed.
One night the child was unable to sleep. Something inside was unsettled, and longed for the outdoors. Ignoring his mother's rule, he snuck out into the forest. The full moon guided him through the dense trees, until he came to a small clearing. There, he was greeted by the woman from his dreams. She embraced the child, and pleaded for his help. She was trapped somewhere far away, she told him, so far even she didn't know where she was. Only he could come and free her, and then he would know why he was different. Why he always felt sad or angry when the moon was waning, and happy when it was going back to full. Why he was never allowed out of his (Vardo) after dusk. And most of all, who his real parents were. The woman kissed the child on the forehead, and vanished from sight.
The child awoke the next morning as he normally did, except he had a strange, moon-shaped charm clutched in his hand. As he started to think where it came from, his mother entered and his day began, pushing the night's mystery from his mind. He shoved the charm under his pillow, and there it remained, forgotten.
His dreams grew more intense from that day on, showing images of light clashing against darkness, night fighting day. The woman showed up constantly, pleading for the child's help. A man in shining gold armor surrounded by an army of bronze circled the moon, aiming swords and bows at it. A black shadow seemed to slowly grow over the sun, blocking all traces of love and light. Each picture seemed to make him more and more distressed, but he still wanted to know more. And so he continued in his studies.
He also learned to fight, taught by his adoptive father. As with everything he has learned so far, he progressed quickly, and was soon able to beat some of the men in his Kumpania. Each victory brought him more courage, and the feeling that one day he would be able to rescue the woman in his dreams. As his body grew more strong and agile, his mind followed suit, and his other lessons came with increasing ease.
After a time, the sun discovered the moon's plot. Instead of punishing the moon further for her treachery, he decided to shop her scheme from the other side. One sunrise, just after the boy awakened, and the rest of the camp was still asleep, a figure clothed in golden fabric approached him. His message was a simple warning- that if he wanted to ensure the safety of himself and his family, and keep the natural order in check, he had to ignore any future appearances of the woman in siler, and go about his business. Once his message was delivered the sun left, but not before leaving behind a beautiful bronze dagger, a better weapon than any he had trained with. Confused, the child hid the dagger with the pendant he had recieved from the woman, to keep them both from his family.
The child had done as he was asked by the woman, and still no answers. Now he was to ignore her? He decided that neither stranger was to be trusted completely, and that he would follow both their directions to the best of his abilitiy. Still, there were many questions burning in his mind. Why did the two figures ask what they asked? Why were they asking different things? And most of all, why him? Why was he so important to both of them?
These questions repeated themselves in the boy's head endlessly, until he couldn't take any more. One summer evening, he packed both the pendant and the dagger he recieved from the strangers, and left the camp to find what he saught- answers, a clue, anything that would ease the confusion he had.
But answers never come cheap, or easy.

Karan appears on my doorstep, looking incredibly cute and incredible lost, and making me incredibly confused.
December 13th, 2004
Looks like he's having bad dreams and trying to talk, neither of which I really understand.
December 25th, 2004
Karan's First Christmas! And it seemed to be an especially happy one too.
January 10th, 2005
WTFBLIND? eek

</center><img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_demare.jpg" align="left" border="0"> "Dmah" was one of the first Legends that Karan met, and they seemed to hit it off. Karan showed his scarf off, and touched Demare's wings. They were also interested in eachother's eyes, which are so similar. Since then, they've become friends, and Karan's extremely fond of him.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_gyre.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Karan liked Gyre's wings, and how she fluffed them, but for the most part this girl seemed to confuse him more than anything. Still, he was interested in for the brief time that they met.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_guinevere.jpg" align="left" border="0"> "Gwee" shared her soft teddy bear and rasins with Karan, and she showed him about ear scritches, but when she tried to look at his scarf, he pulled it away. Now he's a little more trusting, and the two even shared a hug a while back. Still, this girl confuses him more than anything else.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_keita.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Keita has soft ears which Karan LOVES to scritch and pet, and he likes Keita for letting him scritch and being nice. He even got to see Keita's leaf charm in return for showing his own sun scarf. So far, these two get along pretty well.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_chandra.jpg" align="left" border="0"> At first, Karan was a little apprehensive around this Legend. But once Chandra showed him her moon pendant, he became a bit more friendly, even showing him his own moon. He's still a bit nervous around her sometimes, but for the most part he seems to like her.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_prana.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Despite the fact that Prana's caretaker is Karan's Auntie Fae, these two haven't had too much time to play yet. When they met once, Prana's unusually warms hands seemed to disturb Karan, even though she was trying to help him. But she has managed to help him, and is now considered a friend.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_breena.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Karan only got to see this legend for a few moments, but he had an interest in her from the moment he laid eyes on her. Maybe more will be revealed if they get to meet again.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_loki.jpg" align="left" border="0"> This Legend scared Karan, but I'm not sure why. He was very nice, but Karan keep muttering "hot." Maybe he doesn't like Loki's fire? Should watch this pair closely...
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_seven.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Seven looked very interested in Karan, and the feeling was mutual. They examined eachother very closely, swapping scarves with goggles, and even though there were a couple slight mishaps, they seemed to get along well. DS, however, is wary of him after the hot coffee incident.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_levi.jpg" align="left" border="0"> "Lei" brought out Karan's competitive side for the first time, and the pair engaged in an energetic game of ball. His dark, tattered clothes looked interesting, and reminded Karan of his cape, which he'd paid more attention to since their meeting.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_kitsumai.jpg" align="left" border="0"> "Kaii," a sweet girl who doesn't talk, caught Karan's attention mostly because of how she looks. He admires the writing and drawing she does, and wants to learn more himself, but is more interested in learning her long name first. ^^;
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_lafe.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Despite this Legend's utter shyness, the two managed to connect a little. Lafe has a scarf, which Karan is extremely interested in investigating, but it seems that trust will have to be worked up first. Whether they will allow that to happen remains to be seen.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_alex.jpg" align="left" border="0"> The self-appointed guard of Lafe also made an impression on Karan. The three played a little ball together, and there was a general sense of curiosity among them. Another meeting may reveal more, but for now, Alex remains of interest, at least a little.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_alun.jpg" align="left" border="0"> "Goo boy" was an object of fascination. He was yellow, and gooey, and he had fun looking things around his head that reminded Karan of his ball. Even though there was a spill or two, they seemed to get along very well. We'll have to plan another meeting with "Awoon" soon.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_zita.jpg" align="left" border="0"> This girl definitely confused Karan. She had a pretty scarf that he hoped to look at, but he didn't get as close as he wanted. In addition, Zita was reluctant to return Karan's treasured ball, which he didn't understand much. Next time we'll probably leave that ball at home, just in case.
<img src="http://lott.theforgottengod.net/shop/j_waya.jpg" align="left" border="0"> Waya's another one that ranks as "fluffy" in Karan's books. At first things seemed stiff between them, but they bonded over brownies and a coloring book. Still, the thing that made the biggest impression seemed to be his furry cloak.

Lionel Christian Elijah Henry Anders Winchester, Earl of Keburry, found himself mysteriously in DS's bed on Christmas Day. He seems to have come from the past, baffled by everything from television to toilets. Almost a child himself (and certainly as spoiled as one in many ways), he needs nearly as much looking after as any of DS's wards, though she hopes this will change once he catches up on some history. She's locked him in the attic for now. Lionel's speech, actions, and writings will be in dark blue.

Eriol is the oldest of DS's wards, physically at least, and in spite of her not wanting to play favorites, the one she is closest to. He loves adventure, and while he is content to read about it, would much prefer living his own. Whenever he can he heads out to the Gaia Jedi Academy to watch the Jedi train, but is usually roped into babysitting duty. Though he doesn't always act it, he likes most of his family, even if he thinks it's too big and sometimes gets lonely. Eriol's speech, actions, and writing will be in green.

Yeine technically isn't a ward, more like a boarder; she is staying with the Saturne family while training at the Gaia Jedi Academy. She is intensely shy and usually keeps to herself when at home, though she is somewhat more social with fellow apprentices. She hates being touched by others and will lash out at any who approach uninvitied, but other than that it is difficult to get the gentle Cathar angry. Still, her gentleness hides a quick mind and an agile body, both of which are being trained so that she may become one of the galaxy's finest. Yeine will be using magenta.

Xue came to DS's house under nearly as strange circumstances as Karan. However, instea of her adopting him, he adopted her, and wouldn't let her leave without him. Xue is a Porcelain, a race of beings who, while similar to humans, are smaller, built differently, and speak mostly through mindspeech, a fluid, empathic form of communication. Nearly always happy, he adores the company of others and will try to recruit anyone and everyone into a game. Xue will be using light green.

Ying came from a stone DS picked up during one of her more recent travels and sent home to her godson Eriol. One of the Jumi, a race born from mysterious cores which reside in their chests until death and are key to preserving their life, Ying is a little skittish around unknowns. Rather than hide however, this courageous girl will look strangers in the eye and not back down. Thus, she is usually a good judge of character, and likes nothing more than helping others when she can. Ying speaks and writes in dark pink.

Melete is an exchange student from Neilan, a planet whose race is similar to humans, but highly empathic. Sent to Gaia against her wishes by her older brother, Mel is highly distrustful of most people she meets, and tends to avoid anything Gaian whenever possible. Melete's writings will be in orange red.

A strange eggu began hanging around the house, and was taken in by some of DS's older wards, now being hidden in the attic. It's very energetic, hates being alone, and is rumored to contain a mytical creature called a Tsubasa inside. The kids dubbed it Quyen after doing some research. Qu uses periwinkle.

Linnea is DS's oldest ward in terms of age, and another terribly shy one. Her fins make her very self-conscious, and they will start to tremble if she is feeling emotionally charged. She prefers staying in her room with her dolls to playing with other children. Born of a mysterious flower, she has an unusual connection with water that unsettles everyone, especially herself. Her speech and actions are in blue.

Holiday gifts from me. The ball is actually made of rubber, and about the size of two fists. Karan likes to roll it around. The wand I've put away for him until he's older.

A curious looking thing we got in the mail from Keita and Aureli tuurned out to be a bowl with these two cool fish! I'm going to wait until Karan gets a little older so he can name them, but for now he loves to watch them swim.




Some wonderful gifts from Lu-san and Gyre! Karan loves the dragons and bell, but he didn't like when I tried to put a candle in the lantern. How odd.

A neat looking box came in the mail from Demare and Neko-san, and inside was this... squirrel? The vet said it was okay, and Karan seems to like him. I've named the little fellow Dusk for the time being.

A lovely holiday gift from Huni-san. It looks delicate, so I'm waiting a little to give it to him.

A package from Chandra contained this beautiful looking pendant. The note that came with it worries me, but Karan seems to really like it. ((The silver one is his, and the gold is Demare's))

I'm not sure where this came from, but Karan is fiercely protective of it. It's certainly pretty, whatever it is.

Karan is certainly collecting pets... and Prana seems to have taken to collecting frogs. I named this one she left for us Dawn. She doesn't get along with Dusk well, but luckily they're usually separated by a pane of glass.

Until I get a pets post set up, this egg will join the collection here. Queer looking, isn't it?

</center>1. Do not post here unless you are one of the following:
~ jacknblack
~ Xaria
~ Cheshire
~ another Legend of a Tale guardian
~ someone with permission from me
~ dropping off a gift (in which case it should only be one post)
2. Please do not ask to buy my Legend of a Tale.
He is not for sale. Go stalk the Legend of a Tale thread.
3. Please do not ask to buy or have first dibs on my Legend of a Tale's offspring.
a) I have no idea when he'll grow up, or b) if he'll be successful in courting a mate. Besides, I'm not about to be bought off. I don't know what I'll be doing with any possible future offspring. I'll decide if and when it happens.
4. Please do not ask me if/when babies are available.
I have no clue. Go stalk the Legend of a Tale thread.
5. Please do not continually PM me about any of the above, or playdates, etc.
My inbox is rather full from other things. If you really want to ask about visiting, etc. please try and catch me in the Legend of a Tale thread before PMing me.

The song that inspired Karan was first used as the base of a shop by the same name as the song- Hijos de la Luna. To learn more about the Tasho, click the one below!

Legend of the Tale is copyright Cheshire and Xaria. All the wonderfully glorious are is copyright Cheshire. The banners used in this diary were made by the wonderfully talented Wren (azuredreams). Thanks to them all. heart
DS would also like to remind people that, except for the song (which was my inspiration), Karan's concept is hers. She will find out who wrote the song soon, but the story is all hers.
Lastly, she would like to thank everyone who supported her in her quest for Karan. Luff to all!
One final note- though DS would probably happy if everyone got Legends, the four people she's particulary cheering for, in no real order, are Tiagra, Ballentine, Airez, and Huni Pi. <3 Go them!
