Parent Journal entry 1
~1-11-10
Ever since Marii has come into the household, things have defently changed and I think for the better. Marii has made it very lively in the house, there hasn't been a dull moment even with all of my clan members droping in and I do literaly sometime they do drop in and even sometimes Marii gives them a run for there money. It reminds me of my own childhood growing up in my village and I can see a little of my kidself in Marii. I was always trying to become like my own parents when I was young in becomeing what they did and what I do now. But I don't see in Marii's eyes what mine are a burning passion to be the best Ninja, I am very respected in my village in what I do and even with my retirement hasn't stopped them from still giveing me missions even tho they are less than what I use to take before I was injuried.
Marii in his own puppy-like ways is like my first son, Drez. Marii loves my way of liveing but he does find it a little boring, as he is a free spirit and I think he finds the rules of the village to constraning. But that dosen't stop him from wanting to train with me. Not many can see past his puppy-like ways to see that he is a gentle soul like Drez as he can be calm and colective when he wants. Also those two are so very close to each other as well, its rare when they are both in the house not together. Its very cute and Drez seams to always calm down Marii when ever he gets too out of hand.
Dritan also loves to teach Marii about the arts at a safe distance as Dritan's wings don't like Marii all that much I think it has to do with all the pounceing he does and the wings just don't like it. But Dritan himself does as it there way of testing each other as its very hard for anyone including myself to sneek up on Dritan, but in some ways I don't even know Marii does, it keeps them both on there toes and something for them to share with each other.
I do wonder to what all of my sons are going to do with there lifes I do know what Dritan is going to do as art is his life and I wont force him into my ways. Drez want to be like me but I'm trying to convince him that he might enjoy something a little different and Marii I have no idea but I know it will be something that he loves and I do wonder to how he will grow as he looks so very different to Dritan as they come from the same place. I was told that Marii was a gluttony/paticent but he just very different to Dritan as they both share a sin. Maybe I will find out once he is old enought for his parent meetings.
Wow I have been rampling much, oh well. So many fun times to come!

Learing his alphabet and numbers Drez's way
Marii was sitting down at the kitchen table coloring in some coloring books that his mother had given him to learn about his numbers and letters when she started to teach him about them. He was coloring the letter R in red, the letter B in blue and so forth. He found them fascinating and was slowly starting to read simple words and counting simple numbers. When looking around the house he found some books that weren’t like the books he looked at as they looked very weird to him as they were just a bunch of bumps on the pages. He did remember his mother mentioning that there were special books that were for his older brother Drez. He so very muchly wanted to know what was said in those books. He knew that his mother might know, but she was already teaching him how to read with his eyes. As his brother Drez has been teaching him that there seeing with your eyes isn’t everything as the world is much deeper experience if use of all the senses. He had been learning to use his other senses with Drez and it was one of the facts to why he love walking and running on all fours, as he could sense so many different things this way and he found it was a faster way of travel for him as well. So he just thought that for his brother to read was with his sense of touch.
Hopping out of his chair and went over to the bookcase to get what he though was a children’s book that he thought was weird and took it with him to find his brother Drez. Marii did find Drez in his room resting on a bunch of large soft pillows on the floor.
“Drez, is this a book that only you can read?” he asked.
“Well let me see, Mar,” Drez replied with his hand outstretched to take the book. Marii when over to his brother and gave him the book. Drez checked he book over and even opened it up to feel it.
“Yes it is,” he finally said.
“So what are all those weird bumps in it and why aren’t there any letters in it?”
“There are letters and words here, but those bumps form the letters and words. It’s called Braille. It where I can read books without having to have others read them to me.” Drez answered.
“Well could you teach me this Br..ai..lle?”
“Yes I can but not with this book,” he replied with a laughter as he got up from the pillows and when to his desk and got out another book. Slithering back to the pillows and lounging on them he motioned Marii to join him.
“Ya,” Marii replied as he got onto the pillows and snuggled close to his brother were he could learn. Drez opened the book to the first page and took a hold of Marii hand and then he took a hold of Mar’s hand to where there was only one finger to feel with. The book that Drez had chosen was an alphabet book with number and Drez had this book all memorized.
“Now this is the letter A,” Drez said as he rubbed Mar’s finger over the Braille. “This is B and this is C,” he continued over each of the Braille letters as Marii quietly took it all in and they also went over it once more.
“Now do you think you have some of it down?”
“I think so,”
“Ok now what is this letter?” Drez asked running Marii’s finger over the M letter.
“It’s a…” he thought for a second. “M,” he added.
“That’s right,” Drez said running Marii’s finger over other Braille letters to spell out Marii’s name.
“That’s my name,” he replied with a giggle.
“Yep, now can you spell my name?”
“I can try,” he replied as he then took a hold of Drez’s finger once he had figured out what letters to spell his brothers name.
“Good work, Mar! That is correct,” Drez replied as he gave Marii a hug and a large smile. “Now are you ready to learn more words?”
“Yes I am,”
For about an hour they both when over simple words like ‘snake’, “fish’ and other words that described the both of them. With laughing all the while too as it was a fun game for the both of them.
“So are you ready to learn numbers now?”
“Yes,”
“This is One, two, three….” Drez said as he showed Marii all the way up to 10. “Now what is this one?”
“That is 3,” Marii replied and this went on until Marii correctly showed his brother all the way to 10.
“Now I know mother wants you to still learn to read and write. So show me all your letters, by writing them in my hand with your finger,”
“But how you know that?”
“Mother taught me. Now quit stalling and just do it,” Drez barked but in a friendly manor.
“Ok,” Marii said meekly. He then proceeded to write A, B, C all the way to Z in the palm of his brothers hand slowly and only would continue when he got a nod of approval.
“Do the same with your numbers,”
Marii just nodded and did the same thing for 1-10.
“Good job, Mother will be so proud of you,”
Marii just smiled and wrote in Drez’s palm, ‘snake’, ‘done’, ‘read’, ‘fish’. Drez just had to laugh at what Marii just told him.
“Yes I will read to you, silly Mar,”
“Ya,” he replied and snuggled his brother more, but let him up as Drez slithered back over to his desk to get another book and came back. Once Drez was comfortable Marii got onto his lap and also started to noming lightly on the end of Drez’s tail as he read a story to him.

It would be on a Saturday that you open your mail box (if you have one) and notice there is a rather thick envelope stuffed in there. There is no postage stamp and a very vague return address. But you recognize the font and the company's name. 'Seven of Seven Inc' scrawled in majestic font across the upper left hand corner. As you open it, you may strangely find yourself drawn to the letter, there is a mass of notes inside. They read as follows:
Letter Congratulations! You have managed to succeed in raising your child. (IE: Not killing him or her or getting killed yourself. Haha we kid of course.) We would like an update from you on the following: Guardians Name: Child's Name: Sin: Virtue: Gender: Current Attitude: Likes: Dislikes: Any abnormal growths: (if any, example: Feathers molting, horns growing larger, scars ) Current hair style: Current clothing preferences: Dominant celestial trait: (The sin or virtue) Please summarize in your own words how difficult or easy it was taking care of your child. Did you manage to care for them in a kindly fashion? Or were you forced to discipline them? As well do not be alarmed if you suddenly find your child achieving a massive growth spurt in the next little while. We are finding that the children from our facility have strange growing patterns and are rather unpredictable. Although please let us know if anything unexpected occurs. Sincerely the technicians from Seven of Seven Inc. Ps. Please just leave your letter back in your mail box one you have completed it our courier will pick it up. Thank you.
You would notice the letter seems overly friendly...strange since the scientist were so ...cold before.
(Just take the from Guardians name to Dominant Celestial trait and pm it to the mule, the summarization doesn't have to be long just have fun with it.)

Parent Journal entry 2
~4-24-10
Well I will say that Marii is very different to the other two children, as he is the same sin as Dritan but so very different. As he isn't a glutton for food its knowledge that he cant have enough of. I have been hard press to keep him happy as he not really intersted in training at my village but intersted in the books that are kept there. But he did have a run in with the combat pack leaders and I heard that it wasn't a lovely site, but Marii wasn't hurt just belittled to respect the elders and it seams from that incounter he has gotten a pack mentality. Which is fine as it seams to sute him and he seams happy with it. So I wont worry to much about it as he is still the same Marii that love to tackle anyone that can be tackled and enjoys doing it. Tho I do hope that he will grow out of it when he gets older, especially if he gets bigger. But I will love him no mater what happens to him or what he wants to do.

Marii Journal Entry 1
~4-26-10
Live has been intersting and I have met lots of intersting people in my pounceing of them. Most don't like it when I pounce on the but there are a few that are ok with it as that is just how I am and I find it fun and an intersting way of meeting new people. Tho I just love to pounce my brother Dri!! Sometimes I can catch him unguarded but not resently as his wings now have eyes and that makes it harder to do so.
But now I have thought of makeing a pack of my own!! It will be very cool and I will ask my friends the next time I see them if they want to join. But first I will ask Iah as he was my first friend to be my second. I do hope that I will see him again, as it has been a while since I have seen him. Also I have been thinking to see if I can go to the labs and learn more as I want to know everything there is to know and I know my mother only has so much information at her fingertips so I have to go and search out more sorces and the Labs are the first place to go and look. Well I has to run, I hear my brother walking by and I want to go and pounce him again or at least try.
~Marii
