A woman stood in the grasses once more. It seemed that she had only been here a moment ago, but it had been somewhere near a week now. It was good, really, that their forces were rebuilding so quickly. Soon enough they would amass an army able to take on that dreadful Sun Court and win.

She turned her companion, a woman named 'Sizzla',
"You should feel a tug at your soul," she informed the other,
"It will direct you where to go if our calculations are correct and you are indeed a kithain."

The shapes of the courtyard were dimming in the evening light, and Sizzla looked around in awe, taking in everything around her. The past couple of days had truly be the most strange of those she had spent in Gaia so far. Though she was half-fae, Sizzla never knew of the ties to her past. She had not known why she had been born with the wings of a fey, but had come to accept it as a natural part of herself.

She had been drawn to the woods, seeking out a faerie ring that would transport her to the world of Tir Nan Og, a land that she had little knowledge of. She had been informed that she was potentially related to a fey, and that she would need to come to the Tir Nan Og to claim her ancestry. Though it seemed a bit strange, she couldn't resist the call of her past.

She had walked into the woods as a person with a happy demeanor and cheerful outlook on life. When she found the faerie ring, her stomach twisted into knots, and her demeanor changed. She was suddenly serious, curious what may happen as she stepped through the ring.

But she had arrived here. This mystical and old looking place that looked rather untouched. Though there were some reminants of life scattered around the courtyard, it remained as it had for many years.

The woman who had appeared next to her was dark, and beautiful. In fact, she had a presence that drew Sizzla to her. She couldn't help but have a deep respect for this woman, who seemed to be the one who was in charge.

"A tug at my soul?" She questioned, wondering where she was going to be headed. "Well, I suppose we should get a move on then." She walked toward the large wooden doors of the castle and pulled them open slowly, the hinges creaking under the weight and years of unuse.

The hall was dark, but the last bits of sun shone in through the windows, casting an eerie light upon the floor. She followed the hallway down, and did feel pulled by a strange force. It was calling to her...

She nodded, and they moved a bit until finally the other woman stopped, her feet taking her to to a beautiful stained glass (or so it appeared) window.



Sizzla tried to calm the strange urges that were pulling her down the hallway. She had never felt anything quite like this before. The dark woman followed behind her, letting her lead the way. Sizzla breathed in the musty air of the castle, wondering what may lie ahead. It was strange, because 50 feet or so down the hallway, the tugging at her soul stopped. Though she had passed many other colorful stained glass windows in the castle, the one now on her right was particularly intriguing. She turned to look at it. The greens, blues and purples of the window were the first thing she noticed. They were her favorite colors after all. But then she looked closer. There was an animal's figure put into the window, and upon closer inspection, Sizzla saw that it was a raccoon.

"A raccoon?" she whispered to herself, being pulled ever closer to the window. She lifted a hand to touch the panes of colored glass, her fingers feeling the texture of the glass. It was cool to the touch, and Sizzla's eyes grew wide.

"This must be it..." She turned to the scantily-clad woman behind her, a questioning look on her face. "But now what?" Her wings flittered behind her, and instinctual reaction to the situation. Sizzla's powers didn't seem to be working in the castle, as she couldn't read this woman's mind at all.

A voice chimed in her head...

"Do you, Sizzla, give freely of your spirit and essence, to free Procyon, of her dread curse?"

The words seemed to reach out and grab hold of her, binding her...

The voice in her head rang loud and true. Though she couldn't use her telepahy in the castle, someone else certainly could...

Dread curse? These two words dropped into Sizzla's stomach like a large heavy lump. What could cause such a curse? What was going on here? Nothing like this had ever happened to her...but she then remembered the purpose of her visit. To reclaim her history. And this was a large part of it, she thought, her curiosity bubbling to the surface.

Though typically cautious in new situations, Sizzla pushed her fears aside, and in a shaky voice, answered the call.

She held her head high, looking at the window. "Yes, I do." Her voice was filled with sincerity and hope. She was ready to know about the past.

There was a bright light, which quickly coalesced into...a small child.



Sizzla squinted as the window lit up with a bright, blinding light. As the glare faded, she opened her eyes to see a small child sitting at her feet. The little girl looked just like a raccoon, rings around her eyes, and a bushy striped tail. Her eyes were intense, burning into Sizzla's. Perhaps it was the rings around them that caused them to be so...knowing. But Sizzla looked into them without fear. She was just a child after all.

"Procyon...Well look at you...My little darling." She picked the child up off of the floor and cradled her in her arms. "Well, this should be interesting..." She smiled at the child, who was grasping onto her arms tightly, seemingly not wanting to let go. She turned to the woman behind her, and asked the question that was burning in her thoughts. "Now what?"

Procyon's Kithain:
Name: Elysia Alara "Sizzla" Marvel

Age:23

Race:Half-fae, Half-human

Occupation:Editor, but currently working a thankless job in the advertising sector of the magazine industry.

Appearance:Sizzla is of medium height and build, with black hair knotted into dreadlocks (left over from her years at a hippie-liberal college) and striking blue eyes. She's nearsighted, and usually wears contacts, but she'll wear her glasses on some occasions. She also has fairy wings that protrude from her back, showing her half-fae background. When you look at her wardrobe, one word comes to mind: comfort. She loves her hoodies and pajama pants, and dislikes anything stuffy or buttoned to the top. She also has quite the shoe fetish, and tries not to spend all of her money on footwear.

Personality: Sizzla is a recent college graduate, thrown into the real world for the first time in life. In Gaia, Sizzla is an entrepreneur of sorts, helping to start up a new Gaian magazine...But that's only her day job, and well, it's just not that exciting. It may come into the story at some point, but she likes to spend a good deal of her time just relaxing at home. She also has some other talents that she's not very open about, and only uses for personal means. She has some psychic ability, and can use telepathy with anyone. She can also predict some future events, but most of the time, she tries to ignore her power.

She's generally happy and outgoing, trying to make sure that everyone she knows is happy, and she is quite altruistic. Events throughout Sizzla's life have led her to have an open mind about most all things, and she has examined her life at many points, wanting to make sure that she's never doing something that makes her unhappy. Though she may be a little on the emotional side, (she's a Scorpio) she's smart and a good communicator.

Dionaea
Dionaea is the flytrap Fey that Procyon befriended on her first day out of the window. She can appreciate Dionaea's ability to listen and hear everything, as well as remember what she's heard. She thinks Dee, as she calls her, will be a good ally in her...quests for shinies (aka thieving!).

Mephiti
Mephiti is the skunk Fey that Procyon met while exploring the castle with Dionaea. Proycon likes her fluffy tail, and she thinks of Mephiti as a long lost cousin because of it.

I got Procyon a pet that I thought she may like. They have the same colors, so it seemed a good gift. She's named this little darling Scamp.


I picked up this panda plushie and bamboo stalks at a shop in Gambino. I thought they'd be suitable for some decoration for Procyon's chambers.


I bought this diary for Procyon to write in when she gets a bit older. Right now, she's still too young to write, but I think she'll appreciate it once she gets older.



Aah, the sprockets. From L to R, top to bottom:
Knit (weave), Big (macro), Little (micro)
Lune (lunar), Fast (kinetic), Dreary (shadow)

I had this dagger made for Procyon, thinking it may come in handy in some of her pursuits. Now she just needs to learn to utilize it.

All ideas and art for Silva Regia copywrite Sajhiri.

Procyon's storyline copywrite Sizzla.

Do not steal any of Procyon's art. If you do, I will find you. And that will be that.

Thanks!
