Riycan sat in the garden holding mork and crying. It wan't true they were all liars, all stupid stupid liars. He was not a sissy boy and Mork was not just a toy. He was a regualar kid who happned to be very attached to a red and black frog plushie. It wasn't his fault they didn't understand.
It was also not his fault that Tiwaz had taken it upon herself to scare the living bejeesus out of the kids on his behalf. This had worked untill lunch had ended and they'd returned to their seperate classes. Then the teasingbegan again only now they talked about how he hid behind a girl. They just didn't understant, Tiwaz and him were family they protected each other as best they could. After all he'd have stood up for her if the opposite had happened
Slowly his crying faded into a few tiny hiccoughs and he wiped away the last of the tears as he hugged Mork tightly to his chest. He smiled a little at the thought of the fear in the boys eyes when they'd sene his little sister put on her show. It was only that too a show. Her eyes glowed and she could change the patterns on her wings but that was the extent of her power. If the boys had come towards them for a fight Riycan would have been the one putting up a better fight since he was older and stronger.
He wasn't a fighter though and that was the problem, if he had a problem with someone he found little ways to annoy the hell out of them untill they learned to leave him alone. If the boys had hurt him he'd have hurt them back only differently. He'd have found ways to slowly eat at them untill they couldn't take it anymore.
For now however he sat in his garden and thought. Soon his favourite place of refuge would be gone , winter would come and bring with it an end to all the plants he'd been tending. He could grow things indoors over the winter but it wasn't the same, of course if his plants were in his room his room which no one else was allowed in without permisson then maybe just maybe his mother would let him plant some things that were not so safe, things that caught his eye when he saw them in passing and gave him just a tiny rush of andrenline.
" Riycan , grab your kite we're going to the park I wanna see if my bear can stay in the air longer than Mork." Riycan was broken out of his thoughts by Tiwaz's voice. He looked over his shoulder to see his sister hugging a small purple bear and her own kite. There was a look in her eyes that said she was sorry for whatever she'd done to upset him. Obviously she didn't udnerstand boys and their pride.
Nodding he stood and grinned, the last of his sadness washed away." You're on but you're going to lose, after all Mork has experience and I am so a better pilot than you." A few minutes ago everything had been broken and horrid and dark. Now things were better , fixed and stronger than ever, he had plans and hopes and a challenge to win.

Riycan sat cross legged on the couch, despite his green and black tipped bangs frequently getting in the way the boy was reading. The book was one of plants and was naturally about as interesting as watching grass grow. Still Ricyan scanned each page carefully searching for just the right set of words. There was certain criteria the plants he chose to grow in his room this winter would have to fall under and so he was stuck reading untill he found four or five that met his list.
"Riycan how come all the jumps have different names if they all look the same ?"
Riycan lifted his head and peered down at Tiwaz who sat on the floor watching the t.v. His eyes flicked from her to the screen where a young man was skating to some boring music. Suddenly he took off spinning and landed just the same then jumped again.
" A beautiful triple axel double toeloop combinationl" The announcer proclaimed.
Riycan blinked confused, he'd seen no difference at all between the jumps " Um I dunno why maybe they are different and we just can't see it, or maybe they just want lots of fancy names for stuff. They don't wanna say hey look at him he jumped twice weren't they awesome spinny jumps."
Shaking his head he turned his focus to the book. Still something nagged at him from the back of his mind and every so often he found himself gazing at the screen again, hours passed and he switched from researching to doing the hoemwork his teachers had assigned. He'd seen more men skate watched them glide across the ice and fly through the air graceful and strong like he'd been once.
It irked him that he was no longer able to fly, to soar and wheel and turn and be free, he was grounded and he hated it. Still when he watched the men then women and finally couples skate it had given him an idea. If he could learn this skating if he could get good enough perhaps he could regain some of that lost freedom.
"Tiwaz you wanna take skating lessons with me, maybe we could skate togeather." Of all his siblings Tiwaz was his favorite ( having currently replaced Psy) and was the only one who he could imagine agreeing to leanr with him, the othera all had different hobbies that took up their time.
"If you drop me I'll kill you" Tiwaz said nodding her crimsion eyes filled with amusement.
Riycan grinned, once again he had a new goal and something to point himself towards, this could only be the start of something great.
*normally women skate before men and I don't think pairs ever skate with the other two during competitions but I'm taking creative license here

Dear diary:
I did it! I skated aroudn the rink twice without falling down. Ok so I did it slowly and with my wings spread for balance but I still did it. So far this learning to skate thing isn't too bad, Tiwaz and I have lessons twice a week and if we want to mom will let us go to the rink on weekends for free skating time if our homework is done.
Speaking of hoemwork school sucks. Those kids are still being jerks to me and they still call me names.( More now because I'm learning to figure skate and not skate skate for sports like hockey) At least Tiwaz has learned not to jump in on my fights though.
All in all things are ok though, there's some bad and some good.
~Proud of myself and waiting on soem newly planted seeds to grow.
Riycan

Dear diary:
Not much to say really but if I don't starting writing in you again I'll give up. Halloween was pretty neat, it was fun to dress up and I got a ton of candy though mom says that at the rate I eat it it'll be gone before Christmas. I think that's a good thing, who wants Halloween candy when you can have Christmas candy instead. Speaking of Christmas I need to make up a list of what I'm getting everyoen for presents, I wonder if it would be wrong to get Andrea coal.
Oh and I met another bird like me from the shop the other day at the skating rink ( where I learned to skate backwards), he thinks I should go back and visit and I said I would so I guess I'll go this weeked.

( Connected to TT metaplot Ricyan will be hiatused untill Tiwaz wakes up. takes place new years)"
Tiwaz glided across the ice silently cursing Riycan. She enjoyed skating a bit yes and enjoyed being one of the two family members who could do it half decently ( Her mother didn’t count) wasn’t too bad. The fact that practises that weren’t parts of lessons took up part of her spare time annoyed her to know end though. She didn’t really aspire to greatness in skating, it was a cool feeling to make it around the rink and not fall but it wasn’t the be all or end of her life.
Of course she was still learning to nail the basics in some areas so she supposed it might become more enjoyable when there was less frustration involved. Her crimson eyes narrowed and focused on Riycan who was calmly skating backwards around the rink. Somehow he’d picked up that new trick about a month ago and hadn’t stopped taunting her with it since. Tiwaz would learn it to be sure but she’d do it in her own damn time.
The chill air of the arena made her wings begin to tingle with numbness, she’d been practising too long and the circulation to the membranes was slowing. It was another thing that seperated her from Riycan, he didn't tolerate the cold well either but unless he was in a blizzard he couldn't damage his wings through it. She on the other hand could cause all sorts of trouble for herself if she wasn't carefull.
Slowly she spread her wings several times to encourage circulation, watching the silver patterns on them reflected in the nearly clear surface of the ice.
Once her wings were normal again she refolded them and continued her skate. Perhaps it had been the change in blood flow or the standing still for a few minute but now her body felt sluggish and everything was so much more effort than it should be.” Riycan I think I need to stop” Tiwaz murmured heading to the wall.
As her hands touched the door a wave of exhaustion overwhelmed her and her legs buckled. She slid (only remotely aware of her brothers concerned yell) to the ice and passed out.
Riycan raced across the rink to his fallen sibling's side. He had no clue what has caused Tiwaz to fall but himself anyways. It could be his fault and he was the only one there to take responsibility.Bending down he hauled Tiwaz to her feet and began to skate for the door. He needed to get her home as soon as possible.

Dear diary:
Psy's in therapy do you believe that? Mom says he needs it and P guess maybe but i dunno. It seems to help though and he seems different now. Still the same old Psy but more focused and serious and you can really see how smart he is. I'm not sure I like the thought of anyone in my little brother's brain.
Tiwaz is back from her weird thing where she fell asleep at the ice rink. Both of us have quit skating becuase of that and because it was just a thing and we don't really like it now. Still we did have fun and I'm probably the only bird that ever ice skated on purpose.
There's a lot more to say but I need to go tend to the garden so I'll write again soon.
Riycan.

Dear diary:
School sucks, again. No one teases me this year but I also don't bring Mork to school anymore. Skating before I quit also made me stronger and fast so I joined the school track team in the little kids division. Coach says I'm a sprinter, really fast but I can't keep up the speed for long distances. That's ok I'm still happy to be one of the fastest.
The rest of school is boring though even if I've been moved up a grade. It all seems the same to me. My writing is getting better though.
Things at home are weird. Tode is gone. Andrea is acting funny and mom has been sick a lot. Everyone seems sort of edgy and weird. Though the big water fight did help for a bit, we all had some fun.
Going Halloween shopping soon, this year I'm going to be a Pirate.
Riycan
