Varekai - The WagonVarekai has been in my family for many years, having been built almost 100 years ago by my Great-Great Uncle Luca. My family took ownership of the wagon when my oldest brother was born. The ownership passed to me on my 19th birthday, since my father had built two other wagons for my family and my two oldest siblings had married and lived in their own wagons with their newly started families. My Kumpania is very large, but very tightly knit, consisting of five families that are connected through both blood and marriage. Before leaving to join Valelldia and her caravan, each member took one item from their wagon and put it into Varekai. To an outsider it may seem slightly crowded inside, but to me it is very homey and full of love.  Many horses have had the priveledge of pulling Varekai, but currently the job has passed to Alexander, my Irish Cob. Alexander has been my horse since I was five years old, when he was newly born. He is one of my best friends and I could never even think of traveling without him.

Pronunciation: Ahn-Ye-Ka Voo-Zho
Nicknames: Ani, Anya
Stage: Fortunette Adult
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Unknown
Origin: Transformed from Pendant
Current Location: Unknown
Theme: Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Family:
{Guardian} Leshya'e
Vital Stats:
Hair/Fur Color: Black Hair with Dull Brown-Grey Skin
Eye Color: Shimmering Golden
Height: 5 feet 4 inches [though her ears give her a foot more when fully extended upwards]
Weight: 107 lbs [Weight Increases to 160 lbs. when Wings are in full Icarus form]
Abilities/Powers:
- Flight [Member of Icarus Protectorate]
- Fleeting Icarus [Wings waver between Intangible Light and Molten Semi-Solid. Used as a Shield for Herself, and others If under threat or attack. Can cause burns and damage to attacking Enemies that touch her.]
- Sun Summons [can summon balls of light and energy, for both entertainment and defensive purposes]
- Himalay Bound [due to both being a Rabbit, she can jump quite a distance, either upwards or forwards, when necessary]
Weakness:
- Although she cannot be harmed by touching her own Wings during Fleeting Icarus, if she remains Engaged for too long she can cause Retrograde burning and other damage.
- Can cause herself to become momentarily Blinded if not conscientious & meticulous while performing a Sun Summons. [Blinding may last as long as a few Days.]
- Cannot Bound for great distances, as this greatly weakens her. The Himalay Bound is used only over short distances. [Such as: Going from One end of the caravan to another]
Regarding Her Wings:
Now That Anezka has completed her mission and become a full-fledged member of the Protectorate, her Wings have now taken on their True, Three-fold Form ~
Phase One: Invisible - default form, also the form taken when blending in with humans or hiding her powers from those who are Meij-weary.
Phase Two: Flaming Light - form taken whilst In Flight.
Phase Three: Icarian - form taken when fighting & defending
Basic Appearance:
{Enchanted Item} Small, silver pendant on a black cord with a sketchy rune engraving on it that looks like a jumping rabbit
{Animal} Very small and fragile looking. Pure white fur with black markings on her ears, muzzle and feet. Has the appearance of being a Himalayan Rabbit [the oldest known breed]
{Darkling} Anezka's ears are still black, as are her feet. Her hair is black and white, reminiscent of her days with fur. She has a cute little black nose and bucked teeth. Coming from her back are airy, brightly colored wings that developed from a spell that Valelldia did, which also caused her change in eye color.
{Child of Light} Ani has grown taller and stronger, gaining gold hoops on her sleek black ears. Her hair is a bit longer and her wings are bigger, but still non-tangible. She prefers to be barefoot, keeping touch with nature.
{Lightbringing Teenager} Losing her baby fat, Anezka has gained a curvy feminine figure. Her chubby cheeks have slimmed and uncovered a chiseled jawline. Her hair has grown longer and more luscious, drawing attention away from her still buck-toothed mouth.
{Fortunette Adult} Anezka remains on the Petite side, though having gained some weight. Her prominent buck teeth have retreated behind her full black lips and her skin has become a nearly uniform gray color. Her hair has also become more uniformly black, with a wavy curl to it. Although she appears to be more human, she still retains her Ears.
Basic Personality: Sweet and Gentle, Friendly, A Daydreamer
Likes: Friends, Open Fields, Music and Firelight
Dislikes: Very Little...She's a content being.

Inside VarekaiThis is the inside of Varekai. To both sides are seats and storage and in the back is my bed. I spend quite a lot of time in the back of Varekai, reading, writing and sewing.A Banya bird, Hadassah, from Valelldia. She prefers to be outside in the gold cage she came in, but comes inside when bad weather comes. "Why, the Icarus Protectorate was the guild of fliers. Didn't you know? Many years ago, anyone who followed their teachings could fly. But then something happened to the Protectorate, and all that's left are their TriRunes- so called because they are scattered throughout the world in three parts each. These days as well, without the teachings or the Protectorate, even the runes can't do it all- those people with no air element, or no spirit of flying in their bones- they can't fly even with a rune. But you have the proto-wings. You would be able to fly with a full rune." "Ah, Leshya'e... yes, I have something for you too," she wrinkled her nose teasingly at the excited baby with her as she pulled a small bundle of black bandages, embroidered with gold dragons from the bag. She handed them to the gypsy, explaining. "They are marks of invinsibility- wherever on the skin they touch, cannot be harmed. However, there are only five bandages, and they cannot cover your entire body. So choose where they go wisely."
"Well, these bandages," Valelldia picked them up, remembering her gift, "I received from an uncle- one of my mother's favorite brothers. I don't know where he obtained them, but they're a bit of grey magic. Using them frequently might make you ill. But they're still quite useful." "The bond ring there- the silver one- it's just a nice trinket until you find a second bond ring of any nature. If you find another silver, then you and whoever wears it will know where you are, in a flash- will be able to sense some danger about for the other. And... if you find a gold bond and pair it.. well... I can't remember what right happens." He shrugged.
Valelldia nodded at the last item. "That- it looks like a bond ring. They're very special... if you can find a second. They bond people together, give protection- they're even rumored to have other abilities, especially if you pair different bonds together- gold bonds, diamond, ruby bonds... there are even darkheart bond rings, but I've not seen one since I was in the Marshes... very, very many years ago." "I made those myself. They can withstand any wear and tear, any terrain. And the jewels I used are ones that are said to entice faes and other faeries."
"...And these," she said, pointing at the sandles, "those are from this last trading station, aren't they? They look beautiful. I can't tell you anything about them- but I can tell you this- we're headed into a very fae-oriented area. And fae- can be awfully vain. They prefer bedecked, beautiful people- they go easy with their pranks on those they favor." But Shy didn't need to ask - Geneva had heard Anezka's joyful, curious bubblings, and turned her attention to the pair. "That," she said, "is Icarus Dust. Have you ever heard of something called the Protectorate? It's a powder that's linked to a piece of the tri-rune. If mixed with food, it will show you the location of a piece."

Balormengro
Balormengro was purchased by Veshengo during the caravans trip to Port Tempranillo. He didn't usually mind sleeping out of doors, but after a few run-ins with angry animals and inclement weather, he caved in and purchased a small wagon. It's small enough that his horse, Skellick, can pull without any extra effort but still large enough to fit a sleeping man.
Skellick is an Andalusian Gelding that Veshengo received as a Parting of the Ways gift, when his "mother" Baba Crafni passed away. He left the caravan and ventured out on his own. Skellick is a powerful horse and a loyal friend to Veshengo.

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 156
Build: Slender, but Muscular
Tattoos: ---
Distinct Features: "Ample Manhood" & Elongated Canines
Basic Appearance: A tall, muscular man with dark hair and even darker eyes. He carries an air of mystery about him, something curious that makes him very attractive.
Basic Personality:He is a shy and mysterious fellow, who takes a long time to trust others.
Background:Veshengo's life started...well...very different from other people. Many years ago, a middle-aged gypsy woman was walking through the woods and came upon a small silver bowl. She picked it up and brought it to her tent near an Encampment. That night she was awoken by the sounds of drums, tambourines and singing. Before exiting her tent to join the others, she was distracted by what seemed to be a flickering flame. "I could have sworn I blew out all the candles..." She walked over to it and saw that it was not a candle, but the small bowl she had found earlier. Picking it up, it was cool to the touch, but looked as though it was on fire. She cocked an eyebrow and then turned her head to the flap of her tent. The music coming from the encampment was not just a song, but a spell, a spell that seemed to have enchanted the dish. Not giving it another thought, she put the dish down and went out to join the others.
A few months passed and the woman had forgotten about that night, that is, until her bowl disappeared and was seemingly replaced by a small black wolf pup. While being visited with by another gypsy, it was explained to her exactly what had happened. "A...Fortunette?...How interesting...and wonderful!" A few more months passed and the young wolf grew strong, until the day he transformed again, into a shy but handsome young boy. The old woman gave him a name, Veshengo, and raised him as if he was her son. When his mother died, at age 65, Veshengo went on a quest to find someone to help him, to make him look more human. Stumbling across a traveling caravan, he was greeted with open arms. They knew of his kind and were willing to help him in any way possible. After a year of trying different spells and incantations, Veshengo was finally released from bond and took on a fully human appearance, aside from some elongated canines. He thanked the gypsy that finally released him, asking if there was anything he could do to repay her. In response, the woman requested that he become a guardian to one of her daughters who was out traveling with some of his own kind. He agreed and went on his way to find Valelldia and the other Fortunettes. After finding her, Veshengo stayed in the shadows, stalking her from a distance and making sure that no harm came to the caravan members.
One night he finally revealed his presence to one of the caravan members, whom he had been stalking, Leshya'e. After that he made it a habit to be a little more forward, showing up more and more, but still not speaking to Valelldia about himself and how her mother helped him. When the right time comes, however, all will be revealed.   "These next two gifts are different than the others," she explained, "a gift for being with us- but that don't hold quite the same power as those with Fortunettes will need to protect their young, and help them grow into their magical powers. For you, Veshengo- that is a serum that, when drank, will allow one person to see you in the light that you've always wished them to. It's not a love serum, for it cannot make anyone feel something they don't... but instead, they will understand you... completely. And for certain, if that isn't love," she smiled mysteriously, "I don't know what is." "Oh, he has a bit of a sour temperament. Tends to save all his darker fortunes for when you've done something to displease him. But he's a sweetheart, nonetheless. Run of the mill as far as Banyas go.. but definitely worth the seed."

Readings and PredictionsFrom Valelldia:"This fortune is for Anezka. If you decide to take her into the darkling stage, it will be very difficult, as her light element is strong, and will fight the darkness. However, it also means that she will overcome the darkness sooner than any of the others. If you'd like to have her one day transformed- I suggest you find a way to control her element. ...Perhaps you should acquire a spell, before the rune cast that will detail the spell. ...That's all I saw." She shook her head. "I'm sorry there wasn't more." From the Banya Birds: "All this air... the young one will wish to grow wings...."
"Money changes hands. The port upcometh. It would be wise to have twenty and one-hundred pieces of gold...."
"Sweet sugars. Sweet sugars make a child... Not so sweet."
"Lest you let the drops evaporate?
Have you no use for gifts?
Love- understanding...
How different could they be?"
"Dancing, Dancing, No danger for the dancing girl."
"This firy love
Oh loves she fire.
But what she loves
Where fire consumes wood-
So wood
Consumes this Fire."
"You have a key
To one of your wings
The other waits at the shore
But caution, one wing comes
Fairly sweetly."
"The daughter
Shall she be yours as well?"
"You lost a chance at a daughter
Now- you repent for that, and must find another way
Fate has given you that slot
And now you must fill it
Or fill a grave, instead."
"You gave your chance up,
and now you fill a grave,
not with your own hand,
but by your actions.
Look to the north, and carry your wits,
Speak not a word, and the nothing will hear your plea. "
"The north was made to balance the south,
much like the wind and air were made to balance the earth."
"The last of what you seek
Will soon be sought no longer.
But it comes at a price.
What you willing to pay?" Gifts from Oqaia & Valelldia:"Ah, Leshya'e... yes, I have something for you too," she wrinkled her nose teasingly at the excited baby with her as she pulled a small bundle of black bandages, embroidered with gold dragons from the bag. She handed them to the gypsy, explaining. "They are marks of invincibility- wherever on the skin they touch, cannot be harmed. However, there are only five bandages, and they cannot cover your entire body. So choose where they go wisely."
"These next two gifts are different than the others," she explained, "a gift for being with us- but that don't hold quite the same power as those with Fortunettes will need to protect their young, and help them grow into their magical powers. For you, Veshengo- that is a serum that, when drank, will allow one person to see you in the light that you've always wished them to. It's not a love serum, for it cannot make anyone feel something they don't... but instead, they will understand you... completely.

Theme for Leshya'e
Book of Days
Enya
One day, one night, one moment,
My dreams could be, tomorrow.
One step, one fall, one falter,
East or west, over earth or by ocean.
One way to be my journey,
This way could be my book of days.
O la go la, mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
O oiche go hoiche, mo thuras,
Na scealta nach mbeidh a choich.
No day, no night, no moment,
Can hold me back from trying.
I'll flag, I'll fall, I'll falter,
I'll find my day may be,
Far and away,
Far and away.
One day, one night, one moment,
With a dream to believe in.
One step, one fall, one falter,
And a new earth across a wide ocean.
This way became my journey,
This day ends together,
Far and away.
This day ends together,
Far and away.
Far and away.

Veshengo's Theme
Closer
The Corrs
I see you, walking everyday
With a smile beneath frown
But I won't look away, yeah
What does it mean
What's there to see
If I look
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Where are you going
And what are you thinking at all
Your eyes show nothing more
Than a dazed oblivion
What does it mean
What will I see
When I look
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer..., ah, yeah
You don't see me
Watching everyday
My smile could warm your frown
And I'd never look away, never look away
There's more to me (there's more to me)
Than what you see
When you look
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Closer, (close....r) closer, closer, closer..., ah yeah-ie...
Closer, (ah ha) closer, (ah ha) closer, no, no, no, (ah ha)
(ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha, ah ha,) ah, no, no...
