 The tome before you belongs to Mintaka and Aurora. There is a seal surrounding the book, one that allows you to leaf through the pages but prevents you from adding anything. The enchantment is strong and cannot be broken so easily, if at all. So just sit back and enjoy the Tall Tale that is unfolding before you. You can visit the Stationery Store to find out how you can write your own Tall Tale.

!#-- Aurora Name: Aurora Khariel Age: Simple Truth Hair: Cotton candy pink with yellow and pale blue streaks. Eyes: Sky blue Skin: Peachy Height: 2'7" Wieght: Very light Build: Chibi-ish PersonalityAurora is bubbly, cheerful, and otherwise very happy-go-lucky. She's very curious, full of questions about many thigns, but when faced with the unknown, seh does get scared nd cautious and quiets up from her normal chatter. She avoids being alone, and gets fidgity when alone. Preferences and HatesFavorite Food: Candy! Favorite Drink: Soda Favorite Color: Pink Favorite Toy: Plushie Cat Likes: Happy people, being around others, discovering new things, plushies, cute things, Mintaka, candy, soda, naps! Dislikes: Mean people, being alone, the dark, boredom, the color black, spinach and turnips, horrific things. AboutAurora hid within, in a pretend land made of candy and self-happiness, until such time as she wouldn't be alone. Waiting, waiting, the appeal ran dry and she still waited, until Mintaka came one day. She has never liked being alone, and likely never will perhaps, having been left once before. She's a shy, yet strong girl, who likes ot be happy and upbeat, and cares perhaps a little too much about those around her, often trying to find something to cheer them up - usually candy. She hs a lollipop... which... doesn't seem to have an end. At all. It... regenerates, I think. But she likes it and it's tasty, so all is good! ^o^~ The's defnitely much like a child - perhaps somewhere arund 4-5 at most, and still very curious and naive. She listens though to Mintaka, if told not to do something, even if she's dying of curiosity. Her bright, upbeat outlook will likely get her in trouble with others who are much more serious, and less imaginative and 'bright' [in the sunshiney happy sense] then she. Still, we can hope...

!#-- Mintaka Name: Mintaka 'Twilight' Kaiki Khariel Age: Really old, but appears in ehr early-mid 20's. Race: Kha'rendri [shapeshifter] Hair: Short emerald, though ca sometimes be blue or rarely black of varying length. Eyes: Grey, occasionally with faint gold flecks. Skin: Pale, but not sheet white or off-white. Height: 5'9" without horns or ears on top of her head. Weight: Light Build: Has some structure and muscle, but not overly so. Other: Fox ears in place of normal, usually a devil-like tail, edeer hoof feet with fur up to almsot her knees, and wolven hands with fur to her elbows. Satyr-ish horns on her head. PersonalityBy nature Mintaka is often an introvert, although puts on masks and appearances for others. Still, once past eh defenses and charades, she is a true and steadfast friend, companion, and ally. Although not entirely suited to a parenting role per se, she does well in caring for everything which happens her way. She tends to be awkward, socially, and shies away form extremely large groups. The best words to ultimately describe ehr are eccentric, and random, as her moods can shift quickly, and she's always a bit quirky. Preferences and HatesFavorite Food: Ramen Favorite Drink: TEA, or Pepsi Favorite Color: Emerald Likes: Tea, mints, her friends, those in her care, twilight [dawn/dusk], colors, sleeping, daydreaming, drawing, orchids, flowers, water... Dislikes: Rude or annoying people, thieves, Shivran, being lost, loud noises, large gruops, not being able to shapeshift, leading, lack of caffiene, being woken up... AboutMintaka doesn't remember much of her life, considering she had a 'reboot' when things went really sour living the 'life' of Kimtana. She was once a doppleganger of sorts, but one who could 'become' someeon who was dead, and then ease that person out of their loved ones lifes, then a sudden and traumatic death or loss that did occur. Perhaps it's better that most things are fleeting glimpses then... She has shed her fleshy, mortal bonds inherited from her mother and become a full-blood Kha'rendri, of magical blood and controlled shifting nature. Her recent life began in a shard of Crystara, where she met Johnathan, and through the years built up to where she is now, in gaia and established. This is her 'home' now, and ehre where everything in her once tranquil life unravelled into truth. She learned what she was, and that she had enemies - ones she prays to protect her charges from. And fight she will for them, with a terrible rage should harm come to any of them. Mintaka is skilled in combat, and somewhat in magics - both arcane in healing, fire and ice, and also in Memory-related magics which are native to her race. Much of this was recent additions, although she is hesitent with her memory-magic, the newest of her powers. Currently she is pregnant with a child from Johnathan, but is alone in raising it and the others, aside her friends and allies who are with her - Johnathan is the mortal shell ressurecting a goddess of Love [Edelstiene] and as such will no longer be. Mintaka would rather Khiviance stay out of Aurora's life, if she has her way. Even with losing the one she loves, and fightign against quite a bit she keeps a positive outlook, even if thrust into things unexpected or undesired. Due to the od nature of ehr life, she's become a bit protective of those she does care for, and should anyone attempt to harm Aurora, will likely go into a premeditive murder plan on whoever did it, or at the least one hell of a verbal lashing. Maternal instincts do tend to flare up with Min over what she holds dear - moreso now that she's going to have an actual kid. D:! Photos---

!#--Other People Other notable people in the house/Mintaka's life who Aurora would know/meet. OCs: SandrienSandrien is grouse, cranky, and rather anti-social mostly, and avoids prolonged contact with those he foesn't know. The only time he does is to keep Mintaka out of trouble. A guiardian to her of sorts, he's softened up somewhat, although not much. He' looks after the well-being of all her charges as well, making sure no harm comes to them, either. MishendraHalf-sister to Mintaka, she's often around helping and partly responsible for the care of thigns within the house. Mishendra is quiet and calm, if not friendly, but somewhat awkward in social situations due to her past. She is thankful for Mintaka's help, and repays her by making sure all is well in her absence. Khana'lielKhana for short, Khana'liel is another of Mintaka's friends and protectors she's gained. He's wise and witty, although seems to keep a lot to himself that he does know still - and usually avoids helping in the care for things as he's definitely not skilled with children. KharielMintaka's father, and an imposing figure on his own, he's been put in a coma for a long awhile after a vicous attack, and has only recently recovered - only to vanish out of Mintaka's life. Breedables: AiA human-turned-porcelain, she was never really strong mentally in ehr abilities to communicate and interact, but a charming child none-the-less. Since Mintaka adopted her, she has become a litlte mroe able to communicate on the emotional-empathy elvel that all Porcelain do, with much hard work in trying to teahc her, although they still have some way to go yet. CalicoMintaka's otherself, the result of her 'splitting' off her Doppleganger/fleshy self, was destined to become and Edelstiene, and fused willingly to the jewel which contained Calico. Calico is quirky to say the least, reigning over Insanity, but still is a fairly nice person otherwise. She also ash two toehr personas - Lunara [sometimes Cheeshire when in her 'male' self] and Oblivia, who's really not all that nice. KhivianceEdelstiene goddess of love, and quite the royal b***h. She is taking over Johanthan's body, Mintaka's former lover - and still maintains a somewhat good relationship with Mintaka despite their past differences.

!#--The Story Or, how Mintaka came to be caring for Aurora. How it was sent Mintaka brushed ehr hair from her eyes a moment, eying the door of the study. Inside... Her tongue flicked out a moemnt to quickly lick her lips as she found the last of her resolve. Aurora was inside... and they wanted her to find her, and then take care of her. A simple task, wasn't it? Of course it was. How bad could it be, to walk in there? It was just a room. She wrapped her hand around the doorknob and twisted quickly, taking a quick breath, almost afraid of something. Nothing... just a peek into the room, perfectly normal. She stepped in, exhaling slowly in relief. She no more then was through the door, having released the door knob and starting to look about when she felt a sudden wooshing sensation and all of reality blurred, twisted and blended into a colorful array of floating clouds, and she felt herself hovering now. She remained still, almost petrified for a split second, before taking in the whole of it. "I should listen to my intuition," she mumbled quietly. No sign of anyone, which was good... and bad. This meant she would have to find Aurora here, or some way out. Who knew how big this place was, or if she was here. "The world may never know," she sighed, making swimming motions to propel herself forward, grey eeys alert. She avoided going through any stray clouds, lest they be filled with something funny, intil she accidentally inhaled one, a small distance from her start. "Ack!" she managed, her mouth filled with -- cotton candy?! She chewed awhile, freeing her mouth from the sticky entrapment. "Cotton candy... oi!" She looked down, and was started to see... a candy land. Well, a place made of candies of all sorts, especially tootsie pops and tootsie rolls. "...I must be hallucinating... I knew I shouldn't have had so many sweets..." Either way, she dove down, gliding to a stop inches above the ground without too much fuss. The road was paved in toffee, a slight sheen to it, and lampposts were candy canes. It was disturbing, to say the least. She followed the road, slightly aimless in where she should go. No one was here, not a soul, no movement whatsoever. A clap of thunder erupted from an overhead cloud and it began to rain - Skittles! Mintaka shrieked as a few pelted her ears and head, and she darted quickly to an overhang, spitting a few choice unplesant words in the process. Once safe from he pelting rain of sweetness, seh reached ut to get a few and ate them as she thought. A world made of candy and sweet things, so much so, it rains Skittles. Talk about getting the rainbow with the rain! She watched as it poured harder for a bit, then eased down slowly to a light scattering, watching them bounce off of things. Another handful was procured, and eaten slowly as she continued. Well, I saw a gingerbread palace... maybe she's there. Isn't every little girl's dream to be a princess or something?She waited another 5 minutes before the offending "rain" cloud stopped by wandering off away, and headed out again, weaving aroud the silent streets - mindful not to step on skittles. T'would be a horrible thing to get stuck in hooves, or else start sliding around on them. Slipping and killing ne's self was not an option here. She had to find Aurora... and a way out. Because living here forever would likely be death by sugar-incuded coma. She laughed slightly at the thought, and finally found the road she wanted, leading to the main gates. She poked at a large bar of tootsie roll that made up the gate with other ones. "Hmm... kind of squishy still...." She pushed, throwing her weight in. "Though firm enough to resist!" She stopped, panting slightly and thought. They weren't too big around... She tried taking a bite, and after a little head turning and some neck bending made a bite. She chewed and swallowed, hiccuping a moent, before repeating. If she could make a weak spot, she could get through. And so she continued. After about ten bites however... "Ugh..." She spit it out to the side, hearng her stomach bubble awhile in protest form the sweets. Only a few more bites to go though... and however disgusting it was to spit it out, it was necessary. A few more... a few more... erg, just the taste was getting sickening. She paused a moment, leaning on the 'post'- -and it snapped, sending her toppling in! "Aaaaaack!" She tumbled a few times before sitting upright on a dotscobble pathleading to the door. She muttered soemthing, rising, and dusted off, heading towards the door. Crackoom~ came the thunder, causing ehr to increase pace for shelter at the door before she was pelted by skittles. She panted awhile, surdouned by the sound of falling skittles. The door, as she discovered, was ajar. Thanks be to the cookie lords, one supposed. "Tell me a story," came a quiet voice from inside, causing Mintaka's fox ears to sway forward and back awhile. A female voice, young... "Aurora?" she asked carefully, stepping into the dim room. "Please... tell me... it's so very lonely..." Her eyes were adjusting, but could make out a massive throne at the far end of the room, and perhaps someone upon it. She bit ehr bototm lip as she closed the door behind her, trying to think of something. "Once upon a time, there was a little girl, who was lost." She saw movement on the throne, someoen looking up it seemed. A sniffle floated through the air. "Was she like me?" "Maybe," Mintaka said tenatively. "She ahd gotten lost somewhere odd, not like the world she should have been in. And someone was looking for her, hoping she was okay, and wanting to help her." "Really?" She could make out details now - light hair, fair skin, colorful items on her arms. It seemed to be her, after all. Young as well... it all fit, really. She could see, too, in the faint light, the traces of tears. "Mmhmm...a woman who looked a little odd, but had a kind and caring heart, who would go to the furthest ends of the world to save her, and bring her back safely. Back to a wonderful world, filled with wonders, where the girl could grow up happy in the woman's care. Somewhere where she could be with others like her." She approached slowly, carefully, hiding ehr tail, and taking on normal hands in the dark. The hooves would have to stay - and the fox ears she considered fine. Don't want to scare the child right now... "Wow... there's others? Really? I think... I thought I was alone... so alone..." She rubbed at ehr eyes with one hand, sniffling again. "At first... it was so nice here. But... I was alone... and... I don't want to be alone anymore. I want to be with others! I want to have fun! Play!" "Well, the girl who accepted... well, the woman took her back to the normal world, where the others were, and took care of her, giving her gifts and letting her play all she wanted with others when she could." She took a few steps closer, able to make the child out completely in her red dress. "And they lived happily ever after..." She knelt before Aurora, reaching up to wipe away a tear as it fell down. "C-can that happen to me?" she almost pleaded, looking up with large eyes. "Yes... I can do that for you," she said, resting a hand on the child's knee. "If you want it. I cannot make you come with me, if you do not want; I am not mean." Her grey eyes were intent, studying Aurora as a smile touched her lips. "Well..." She seemed to be looking at Mintaka a moment, in thought. "Well, you seem nice enough - you told me a story. And... well... I believe you. I have to. Besides, you must have come a long way from home to be here! So it's like a tale of it's own!" She jumped out fo the throne and latched onto Mintaka. Mintaka tensed a moment, then relaxed, standing carefully with Aurora on her back. "Alright then... now how do we get out?" "I dunno..." Aurora held on tight, looking around. "When in doubt..." She remembered a movie - a sort of story - and clicked her hooves together thirce. "There's ... no place like home?" Everything faded in awhirling sworl... until the study reappeared. "Wow," Aurora said. "It worked!" "Yes... it did," Mintaka said, thankful it had worked after all. The door behind her was closed, and she turned, grabbing hold. Now to tell them she was succcessful... "Ice cream when we leave here?" "Yay!" Aurora chimed, hugging tighter, much to Mintaka's charign as she was almost strangled breathless. ~fin~
