<center>HISTORY</center>

Shadows once lurked in the dark corners throughout the lands of Merdalin. Decades of war and decay had settled leaving nothing but debris, a wasteland of misfortune. At the time it seemed as though nothing could grow upon the once fertile lands of Neverleen, the capitcal of Merdalin. Where once a great kingdom had stood now remained only ruins of its former glory, piles of rock and rubble that could not be repaired or rebuilt, for it had taken several years to create. Nothing looked as though it could be reconstructed for it was a dangerous hazard. Where once the Ny'ali river flowed there was no longer any water save for when it rained, though the water dried up quickly leaving cracks in the dirt that was now
more like desert sand. All which remained of trees were their dead rotting stumps upon which not even fungi could grow.


It was at this critical time that the Goddesses Nefidilious Falon and Meu decided to call upon the anchient guardians of the elements, never realizing the terrible tragidies that were about to occur. With a chant of magical proportions they sand to awaken these guardians of old. As they chanted the Water Guardian arose from the waters like a tsunami, harming no one, but the potential remained. From the morning light awoke the Guardian of Light like a brilliant ray of sunlight. These two were all that they had meant to awake, but somehow they had either misquoted the chant or someone else had continued it. For you see from the fires of their camp rose the Fire Guardian like a flickering flame of doom. Finally awaking from the longest slumber from the shadows of the night rose the Dark Guardian like ones parent awaking three hours early and having to go to work without their morning caffine.

With this chant began a new era. An era of change and rebirth for the lands of Merdalin as well as a new war. The Water Gaurdian brought forth to the territory water with which to irrogate the lands and help grow crops and plants. The Light Guardian controlled how much sun that the area was recieving in order to help the Water Gaurdian and the villagers. however the Fire Guardian was bent on lighting up everything as in, burning it down turning everything into no more than cinders and dust. Although with the Guardian of Fire doing this to many of the newly grown plants it created better richer soil over the years. Soon the Goddesses had the Fire Guardian calmed down and though they allowed him to burn things it was only time and things they chose so that from the ashes would rise a better harvest the next few decades. The Dark Guardian loved the shadows at night and wished it to always be dark, but with the Light Guardian in the way the Dark Guardian could not do much about making it come true. Although the parents and other adults of the lands did enjoy the Dark Guardian at night so that it was easier for them to sleep and also so that their children too would sleep.

Centrues upon centuries came and faded away however, and it seemed that the Guardian's were weakening and becoming terribly sick. It was then that the Goddesses decide to have them breed with one another. They had the Water Guardian breed with the Dark Guardian and the Light Guardian with the Fire Guardian. Soon there were sixteen eggs in total. These eggs became Lesser Guardians and their parents began to get well once more. It was as though they were sick, because they had not reproduced. These four Guardians soon dissappeared from the world as though they had never been and are now dormant within the bottom of the Ocean, on the ray of the sun, in the never ending flame and somewhere in the night sky. Though they left behind a legacy and the beginning of what would later become Lesser Elemental Guardians known as the La'Pita's.

It was several decades after the sixteen eggs had hatched when it became apparent that there was a stranger taking the DNA of these La'Pita's and using it in experiments to create other beings. His name was King Darius an immortal highlander who had lost everything, but his life and now was determined to raise an army of Dark La'Pita's with the DNA he had dishonestly aquired. However something went terribly wrong. Accidently dropping an unknown unbalanced chemical into the equation the lab exploded. This caused him much grief the blindness in one eye which made him take to wearing a pirates eye patch with a scar along the oppisite cheek. Despite his apparent failure in remaining safe he had created something, though not the Dark La'Pita's he had hoped for, but had created a different breed of beings semi-related to the La`Pita's. There were three of them alltogether in the very beginning of their existance. The Dark, the Light and the Forest. Although despire these things King Darius also became cursed. On his head appeared horns of a ram and large wings similar to that of a gargoyle or bat. His eyes where once they had been emerald were now purple and could change black or red at given times. His tongue was like that of a frogs, but shaped like a snakes with the fork in the tongue. His hands turned into calws as did his feet and a tail grew long and touched the ground. While he was still handsome, many were frightened of him and though him hidious, because of what he had become.

King Darius had lost even his ability to attract women to him. So with a saddened and bitter heart he began to train the three that had formed a sub-species of the Elements so that he could someday reak havoc upon the world that had turned against him. However in time the Light Jun-Jun and the Forest Jun-Jun turned against him and left leaving the Dark Jun-Jun only with him. This angered him and he swore revenge on everyone and everything. Eventually even the Dark Jun-Jun abandoned King Darius and found that the Light and Forest Jun-Jun had reproduced. Not wishing to have her kind die out, she took on a second generation Jun-Jun as a mate. All of this infuriated King Darius even more and he set out to kidnap each of the Jun-Jun's spawn for revenge and other dark and sinister reasons.

The Khinalai were once allies of the La`Pita's eons ago. A mysterious breed that had appeared out of the head of Meu. Meu had eatten from the Tree of Life a fruit whilest practicing a spell about animals. WHen she ate the fruit she had a mighty migrane. Her head split open and out from it came a fully grown Khinalai. This Khinalai was the original Anima Guardian by decree of Nefidious Falon and Meu. Although it was a most strange occurence it came to be known as just a myth, a legend amongst the humans of long ago. It was during the war the Khinalai became allied tightly with the La`Pita's for at the time only one Khinalai remained in existence until Meu had Nefidious Falon preform the same spell and eat the same fruit as she herself did to create another Khinalai and the two became mates populating the land with more of that particular breed. However it was the war of mankind when they stood together until their energies were spent and the La`Pita's had to return to their origins leaving behind their sixteen eggs.

The Khinalai lived on throughout the millennia's. Though man soon became blood thirsty, greed coursing through their veins as mortals are apt to do. They wished to obtain the powers of these gentle creatures the Khinalai. The people believed that if they ate the heart of a Khinalai they would gain their powers. Soon the Khinalai were a mere pettience of the population they once had been. The Goddesses taking pity on them proclaimed them as the true Animal Guardians to the humans, but still there were those who would hunt them anyways seeking to obtain power no matter the means. These creatures havn't been seen in over three thousand years or more.

They are very suspicious of the human race and it takes them quite a bit of time to trust anyone of the homosapion kind. They have the ability to speak telepathically and some of them can even see into the future though the details are often vauge so that its difficult to understand the meaning behind the vision.

It was not more than a year ago that one Khinalai was spotted by an evil minded family of thieves. The family consisted of a mother and a father. The mother having two older brothers and the father having a younger sister. Together the mother and father who were the leaders of the group had fourteen children. Many of them were multiples as it ran in the family. The male leaders sister had five children all of them girls, none of them looking alike and no father insight. She was dressed strangely as though she'd once been a daughter of joy or lady of the night. The female leaders eldest brother had two wives and six children by each of them. Her other brother had one wife and one young toddler aged son. It totalled 40 all together. They were known as the 40 thieves and the leader the King of thieves having listened to tales of those who'd been called that in the past.

The family set out to capture the Khinalai they had saw. Although parts of the family argued about killing and eatting bits of the Khinalai while others wanted to harness its power without having to destroy it after all if it was one Khinalai and they could find the opposite gender it would make them rich. Although they have not caught the Khinalai and haven't seen it but five other times during that span of time they are still searching.

In recent years a new creature apparently has come into existence which the Goddesses have named Uonies. One was created on night when a Light and Dark La'Pita came together as mates. Another was created at that same moment when a Light and Dark Jun-Jun mated, the two appearing to be the same wolf like species. It was a strange occurence indeed, but perhaps it was because these beings were both light and dark elements as well as the Jun-Jun's being created priorly from La`Pita DNA and therefore both couplings created the Celestial beings, the Uonie. They are realitivly new and have been around for about a decade or so. Nefidious Falon has been taking care of them and trying to learn what she can about them and their habits.

In the shadows however awaited something sinister waiting for the goddesses to be caught unawares and steal the Uonies to take from them their horn. However if one takes a horn off a Uonie no matter if it is alive or not it will die without that vital part of them. Those however who do become cursed. Some change into a Uonie or they become terribly sick, but cannot ever die and live through much physical and emotional pain. One must be careful what they do otherwise they could end up in a situation that has severe concequences.

The habit of the Uonies has recently been brought to our attention. These creatures are so similar to wolves in a way and yet different. They have lives and systems the same as a wolf pack. Alpha, Beta, Deltas and Omega. However the packs have not been found or created except we have spotted one, but they have since moved on or are careful not to let any of us spot them, at least not yet.

The Goddesses watched everything with a heavy heart however as the humans and Lesser guardians seemed to slowly be dying out. Again they called upon those Guardians of old to try and help the plauge stop and in doing so had unleashed a powerful new guardian, the Guardian of Air, which they called Nejin. These majestic creatures with the guidance and language of the air began to collect data and cleanse the by now polluted air and with the help of the others soon the world was once again beautiful for a third time. These creatures did not go back into hybernation however, they remain on the lands of Merdalin though hidden from view or perhaps not so for they could be anywhere be any of the creatures of that particualr species. Perhaps one day they will reveal themselves again, but until then one must wait and see. (I need someone to help me expand on the Nejin story).

It had been several centuries perhaps even millennia's since King Darius had shown himself. He took a liking to Meu and watched her for over two years learning her habits and her favorite places especially the places she'd go alone. One night while she was visiting the Bridal Falls where the waterfalls were different shades of blue, green and purple he kidnapped her like a desert shiek though they were anywhere but in the desert. He put a mute spell over her so she couldn't use her powers nor escape. With her they produced a Ring. The Ring soon grew into a child a new species had been created the Qaletaqa, children of the Goddess Meu. It is unknown if in the Qaletaqa whether some are decendents of Nefidious Falon or not.

Meu escaped Kind Darius with the help of her son Kite. Kite is the oldest of the Qaletaqa though still younger than nineteen. When he helped his mother escape they were taken to the Mountain of the Deity. However Kite fell in love with a mortal woman from below and so decided to marry her and had with her three young children having married her when he turned sixteen and she fifteen. However now one cannot marry unless they are seventeen or older, but fourteen to sixteen should they have their parents consents. Two of their children are girls and twins younger than their son by a year and three months.



<center>Tales of Woe</center>

The night was a chilling one for the couple, Jungaridan and Legaurdia.
Legaurdia had just gone into labour a week earlier than had been
expected. The vet had told their owner ElleFantasia that there were going
to be eight new JunJun born into the world a fortnight before the one they
were now facing. Legaurdia, "Junga...it hurts so much..." she gasped as a
contraction ran through her body causing her to cry out in pain a pain that
sounded as though it were caused by the dieing of a blade stabbed into
someones heart.

Jungaurdian nuzzled his mate, "Don't worry Dia, you'll be okay, but I wish
to the ancestors that it was I giving birth rather than you."
Legaurdia gasped tears welling in her eyes as she pushed giving birth to a
young Jun-Jun that had the features of its father with the demonic looking
wings and the second like her mother with the angelic looking wings and
the rest were ones that looked to be of the forest. That night however
Legaurdia died of severe hemmeroging and there wasn't anything anyone
could do about it.

Jungaurdia gave the young to the goddesses Meu and Nefidious Falon to
look over and take care of while he dissappeared never to be heard from
again. No one knows if he died or if he still lives. However soon their young
may grow never to have known their parents.




<center>Pet Speicies</center>

La`Pitas: (FelineOddity) The La`Pita's were the
first gaurdians of the world of Merdalin brought about by the Goddesses
Meu and Nefidious Falon who had come to realise the need for these great
celestial beings. Although they cannot communicate with humans they do
understand them much like a cat or dog might. While they are intelligent
creatures they have a language all their own which is difficult to describe or
even comphrehend. Only those with the gift of the Goddesses will be able
to communicate with these first world gaurdians.

Jun-Juns: (Yu-Tan) The Jun-Juns a noble breed
created from the DNA of the La`Pita's through science or so one might
believe. However it was the Goddess Nefidious who first suggested that
they try and create more gaurdians so that the world might be safer after
they had awaken the original gaurdians once more. Many of these beautiful
creatures can communicate through telepathy. The rings that are around
their necks are fasioned after the weapon she carries, the Jun-Jun Rings.

Khinalai: (Zhilyne) The Khinalai were once allies
of the La`Pinta's. During the war of mankind they stood together until their
energies were spent and the La`Pinta's had to return to their origins. The
Khinalai however lived on through the millennia's. However man soon
became blood thirsty towards these gentle creatures. The people believed
that if they ate the heart of a Khinalai they would gain their powers. Soon
the Khinalai were a mere pettience of the population they once had been.
The goddesses taking pity on them proclaimed them as the Animal
Gaurdians though they still were hunted. The Khinalai are very suspicious
of humans and it takes them quite a bit of time to trust anyone of
homosapion kind. They are telepathy speakers and visionaries.

Uonies:(Lady Mystique) These gentle dogs
roam the open fields and deep forests. The horns on their heads is said to
call on the moon, they glow brightest when it is full. The Uonies are most
active when celestrial avents happen.

Nejins: (Chibizoo) coming soon.

(Twisted Fairytalesize] coming soon.

They wont appear quite this size on the cert. These are
just for viewing.

<center>Pet Stages</center>

Egg/Object: The Gaurdian's state as an egg can last
anywhere from 2-10 weeks depending on how often you roleplay in
the RP.

Baby: The Gaurdians' state as a baby can last anywehere
from 3-12 weeks depending on how often it is roleplayed. It can last less
if your very frequent.

Teen: The Gaurdians' state as a teen can last anywhere
from 2-16 weeks. Again roleplay is vital for the Gaurdians' development.

Adult: This is currently the final stage for the Gaurdian.


<center>Pet Status</center>

1. Gaurdian's can die at any stage. Watch for the Status of your Gaurdian.
This is why I will be hosting the gaurdians myself so that you can be sure
to know how healthy your Gaurdian is.

----Your Gaurdian will be given five hearts. If it gets down to two that
means your Gaurdian is on the verge of dying. If it gets down to one, your
Gaurdian is soon going to die and if you don't fix this soon then it will die.
Remember there are no refunds, especially if you do something in the RP
which causes your Gaurdian to die.


----Statue Symbols.

gonk = Your pet is sick. (Note: Your pet will only be sick if in the RPG s/he does or comes across something to make him/her so. Although during winter that might not be the case, but no more than twice in a month can a
pet be sick enough to where they'll need you to buy anything)

stare = Your pet is due for their check up with the vet. (This is every 6 REAL months.)

4laugh = Your pet is ready to mate (DO NOT play out any sceens beyond a
PG-13 rating.) Note: Your pet can only mate when you see the 4laugh
symbol on their image

exclaim = Your pet or their mate is about to lay eggs.


Someday we hope to have
Wind Gaurdian's, Earth Gaurdian's, Metal Gaurdian's, Heart Gaurdian's,
Sun Gaurdian's, Star Gaurdian's, Planet Gaurdian's,
Lightening Gaurdian's and Psyche Gaurian's.

We asked them about editing and cosplay, most of them were fine with
both and this was their reply. Let us respect all of their wishes whatever
they may be. (Also if someone could color each of them one of their
own linearts and give it to them we'd all be happy. 2 for Chibizoo since
there were two people involved with that lineart. Thank you and have fun
with everything.)

Zhilyne

Sure, go ahead!

FelineOddity

Ooh.. yay, I was wondering what became of this
lineart. ^w^ Yeah sure, go ahead, cosplay them and edit them all you
want. heart As long as I'm given credit as the lineartist, I'd hate to hinder
the colorists' creativity. ^ ^

Yu-Tan

Omigosh, I love you people for asking! xD Some other
people might just edit it without asking, so thank you, as you did ask! And
happy Valentines. :3

Anyways, putting items on the art is fine! It's okay.
Cosplay...hmmm...sure. I'm okay with it!

ITEMS and SUCH

<center>The Lists</center>

White List - These are the people who
have helped us out considerably and have been very patient with us. We
think they rock.

Pink List - These are the people that are
okay in our estimation who might have done us small favors.

Gray List - These are people who have
gotten on our bad side. Those who end up here cannot roleplay for 2
weeks and their character is suspended as though put in jail for that
long.

Black List - These are people who haven't read the rules
and who have bugged us more than once when they were not supposed to.
Rule Breakers go here and those who try to discourage others.

<center>Breeding</center>

<center>Rules of Breeding:</center>

1. Before your Elle'Fantasia can breed they must be
Adults! In very rare exceptions they may breed as a teen. But DON'T ask
for an exception! We determine who has this exception and if you ask us
you will NOT become an exception at all if we were even considering
it.

2. Both owners have to be active in the thread. This
means that both of the owners must roleplay. At the very least show up
once a week in the thread if you cannot roleplay.

3. Eggs and Child Gaurdian's are random. The young
might not have the same traits as the parents.

4. Your Elle'Fantasia and his/her mate cannot be related
by blood.

5. Your Elle'Fantasia cannot have the same owner. (We've
decided to change this rule.) You may be the same owner but that means
you'll have to pay the 12k yourself. It'd be easier if you rped with someone
else and had a litter with their pet so its a bit more interesting.

6. Only one of your Elle'Fantasia will be able to mate at a
time (one of each speicies anyways). After all other people should have a
chance as well. Furthermore it's not fair to take all the breeding spots is it,
after all how would you feel if someone took every spot and you've been
here longer, but never had your pet(s) breed?

7a. There will be no male/male or female/female
breeding. I may make random RARE exceptions to this, but don't ask for
an exception. If the couple are of the same gender they can always find a
donar and go through IVF.

7b. If you do go through IVF you must pay the donar 5k
and still pay the 12k to the shop for a breeding spot. You can split the bill in
half with your mate, but the donar does not have to pay anything.

8. If you are going to auction your eggs you must wait for
Penthelisea or Nefidean to do it. You're not allowed to auction the
Elle'Fantaisa yourself. One of them will make the thread. You keep 60%,
30% goes to the colorist and 10% back to the shop.

9. You Elle'Fantasia can only breed 5 times in their life
span. They can have between 2-17 eggs in a litter. However 2-5 is the
norm. However if you wish to breed your Elle'Fantasia a time after the fifth
it costs 300k each time and you can do this up to 3 times.

Once in a blue moon there will be breeding spots open.
Each spot costs 12k and may be split between the owners. Make sure you
check back every so often to see if there are any slots open in case you're
interested in breeding. If you'd like to reserve a spot for future breeding it
will cost 24k and you'll still have to pay the 12k. Only two couples may
reserve ahead of time.

Currently None as we're just starting out.

<center>Elle'Fantasia Couples List</center>

(It doesn't mean they have to be breeding. Couples
have to be Teen or Adult Stage to be on this list. If you have a Elle'Fantasia
and he/she has become a couple with another Elle'Fantsia and you'd like
them to be listed here just PM me.)

<center>The Vet</center>

Every pet needs a check up every 6 months REAL TIME.
The cost of the checkup is 250g. Check ups are manditory. If you're not
taking care of your pet this means you may get them taken away from you
if you do not get your pet to his/her check up within two weeks of the
notification. You will see a stressed on your pets status when its time for a
check up and will be sent a notification via pm.

If your pet is sick there is a diagnosis charge of 250g. After your pet has
been diagnosised you need to buy the proper medicine. The prices of
medicine vary depending on what you need.

Tissues: 20g
Eye Drops: 40g
Ear Drops: 80g
Chicken Pox Vaccine: 80g
Measles Vaccine: 80g
Meningities Vaccine: 200g
(more will be listed later on)

Vet charge to cure a pet is 250g.

Say your pet has an ear infection, but you didn't know it was that you
would go to the vet and pay them 75g+80g for ear drops+250g to cure
your pet. That would equal 505g, we'll round it down to 500g. If you work here or have donated however you will get everything at 20%-50% off.

To put your pet to sleep it costs 5k unless your pet has some disease we
have no cure for then the price is only 50 gold. A disease we cannot cure can only be picked up via the RP or if you havn't been around in forever.


<center>The Cemetary</center>

The Cemetary is the final resting place of pets. Their
tombstones will be listed here and the reason of death. A free burial is just
a few words. A burial with an actual headstone and a picture of the pet can
be placed here for all to see for 600g.
It is rare that a pet rises from the dead. And if someone wishes to rise a
pet from the dead they must have had the pet put to sleep for very good
reasons or had him/her die in the RP. You must have BOTH Penthelisea
and Nefidean's permission to do this and you must pay them each 20k and
10K to the colorist. After all having things rise from the dead takes alot of
energy and when you rise something from the dead others might view it as
creepy. Paying this ammount will ensure that you plan to RP the character
as well as take care of it.
