 "While Waiting for Thee"
Don't weep at my grave,
For I am not there,
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air.
I'll be singing in the sunshine,
Wild and free,
Playing tag with the wind,
While I'm waiting for thee.

 1. Casala and Friend are of the Pae'il, and live on Telrunya Isle with the other Pae'il and Aions. While Eirnae and members of her family can visit them on the isle by utilizing the air device that leads to the landing circle, the location of the sign and its red button are remote and would require directions. In essence, if you should wish to roleplay with Casala and/or Friend and are not the Guardian of a Pae'il or an Aion, the best route is to befriend Eirnae or a member of her family.
2. Casala is an open minded Pae'il, who prides herself on not judging others. However, she also tends to say what she's thinking, even if her words are soft and polite. Friend is a bit hyperactive, and tends to act before she thinks, but her heart is usually in the right place. Everything I type for these two is based on how they see the world, and not myself. Yet if I seem to have crossed a line, please PM me about it so I know and can adapt appropriately. I'm not here to offend anyone.
3. I'm hoping for my girls to make many a friend in the world of the Pae'il and Aions, so if you are a Guardian of either, please feel free to PM me so we can arrange for our dear ones to meet.

  Name: Casala Slytherin-Natenhar (female, Elven, "herald of harmony")
Age: Teen
Race: Angelic Pae'il
Caretaker: Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar
Appearance:
I like to wear my dark blue hair down, just because I like how it feels against my skin. I love the fact that its long now, and even turned out to be wavy just like Eirnae's! With how active I've been lately, sometimes I have to wear it up in a ponytail or a braid, but I let it out as soon as I can. That's why I keep the comb and brush that Eirnae gave me in a belt pouch at all times, along with a few hair ties, just in case. Oh, and speaking of my skin, its tinted a grey color, and I have dark blue markings here and there. I'm very fond of the swirls on my left cheek, and the flower on my left bicep. My ears are long and pointed, like Eirnae and Shina, and my eyes are what Eirnae calls 'deep blue serene pools'. My wings are a lighter blue than my eyes, and now they are big enough for me to start learning how to fly! I also now have a sky blue gem on my forehead, that's lined with silver. It simply appeared when I grew into a teen, and I'm not sure what it's for beyond translating Veron's buzzing sounds into words.
Jewelry:
I've always had my golden halo, but never bothered to polish it till after I got older. Now doing so is a part of my morning ritual, along with taking a bath and combing out my hair. Eirnae gave me three bracelets that she said she crafted herself. They have enough magic in them to keep them floating around my wrists, and don't come off unless I wish them to. They are made of silver, sapphire, and diamond. She also helped me with piercing my wings, like I saw how Bellatrix's are done. It hurt, but I like how the silver studs look.
Special Abilities:
1. Spirit Communication - She can see, hear, and talk to the spirits of the world. This includes those who have died and chose to remain in this plane, the spirits of the elements, and the souls of the living. The latter she won't discover for a while yet.
2. Aura Sensitivity - The color of someone's aura determines a lot about their personality, and their stronger emotions. Auras also tend to rub off on objects, leaving a bit of the person who touched them behind as well as an echo of the emotion they were feeling.
3. Awareness Transfer - With great concentration, Casala can share her gifts of Spirit Communication and Aura Sensitivity with another person, but for no longer than around five to ten minutes, depending on how much energy she puts into it.
Diet:
I rarely eat meat, though I don't obstain from it entirely. I prefer various kinds of fruit and vegetables, my favorite being the silverberries that Eirnae brings with her when she visits. They have a silvery metallic gleam to their thin outer skin, and even feel as if made of metal until you squeeze them and reveal their softness. Inside, the fruit is devoid of color except for its small oblong silver seeds. They have a sweet aroma and rich flavor with just a hint of tartness, along with a smooth texture. My second favorite, and a lot less rare, is tied between strawberries and red grapes. I'm also quite fond of spinach, especially in a nice spinach, tomato, red oinion, and cucumber salad with vinegar and oil dressing. If I had to pick my favorite drink, I'd have to say that Eirnae has sold me on the prospect of hot and chilled teas. Now that I'm learning herbology, I like to grind my own and use the tea bags that Eirnae showed me how to make. It's amazing what a nice hot cup of tea can acheive towards calming the mind, or how ice tea can cool you down on a hot day.
Likes:
I enjoy meeting people. Nothing is more vibrant than the colors of those who live or have lived, and they paint the world around them with their auras even if they don't realize it. I really want to make friends with the others I've seen on the island, but sometimes it's so hard to figure out what they'd like to talk about.
I've started my combat training, though I've only reached the 'first plateau', as Eirnae puts it. Eirnae has developed a routine for her entire family to participate in once a week, and I got to attend the last get together. I made her promise that I could continue to do so every week thereafter. There's so much to learn! I've decided to specialize in my sash, even if no one in my vast family really knows how to best use one. I'll just have to come up with my own techniques, or adapt those used with similar weapons, like whips. Bellatrix and I spar often now, it's become what I look forward to in the evenings after a morning of repairing and cleaning the temple. I'm still trying to understand the fundamentals of flying, but Shina says I'm making progress.
I want to learn more about myself, and my people's past. Perhaps my studies in the languages of Elven, Sylvan, Draconic, and Common will help me along those lines. Then again, all of these languages are not of the isle. I've learned some of That Which is Forgotten from the spirits that now reside within the temple and around it, but they cannot answer all of my questions. I should seek out the Yaaraea and see what they are willing to share with me.
I'd started putting together some of the things I've collected into what I believe was their original state before as a type of hobby, but now I think I realize that this mass of projects is more important than something to amuse myself with. I'm finding less and less about the isle to repair, and so are my friends. Perhaps we are nearly our end goal of finishing the temple's repairs sooner than we thought?
Dislikes:
I've not met many who called me silly when I spoke to the spirits in front of them, but those that have made me sad and angry at the same time. What do they know? Just because they can't see them they say they don't exist. What's the logic in that? We can't see the air, but it certainly exists.
I hate it when I say the wrong thing, or people don't get what I'm trying to say. It makes things all jumbled.
I really don't like seeing others not being honest with one another, either. Everything would be so much simpler for them if they just said what they really mean.
People who judge others for how they think, look, or feel annoy me. I try to listen to what everyone has to say, no matter what that might be. I hope to meet others who do the same. Just because someone else has an opinion doesn't mean that they are wrong, it just means that they think a bit differently than I do.
Currently:
I don't want Rath to be lonely, so I got Eirnae to promise to find him a friend that he can see and hear that will stay with him.

Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar

Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2006 2:51 pm
  Name: Friend Slytherin-Natenhar
Age: Child
Race: Care Pae
Caretaker(s): Casala & Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar
Appearance:
Nae says that I'm a 'little one', but I think I'm just the right height. Cass is taller, but that's okay. I'll cover the stuff she can't get to down low, and she can get the top end stuff. I'm all orange, except for the white on my belly. That's my best feature! The design on my tummy is very pretty, and I can even get it to glow sometimes. It looks like two flowers crossed at the stems. Cass says that my heart shaped nose is really cute, so it must be. I wriggle it up at her now and then, just to get her to fuss. It doesn't work on Nae, though.
Jewelry:
Cass has some sparkly things. Maybe I should get some, too?
Special Abilities:
1. Friendly - Friend may be a spirited little girl, but she's always on the look out for ways to help others with their friendships, and of course make friends of her own. Friendship's what makes her world go round. As a result, she constantly exudes a minor aura of goodwill around her, which originates from the flowers on her belly. When this aura spikes in concentration due to random occurances, her tummy's symbol glows faintly and for very short periods of time.
2. Care Pae Stare - As of yet undiscovered, this makes her tummy symbol glow brightly and stream out to hit a single target and fill them with great understanding on how to be friendly to others, while also influencing them to be a great friend. With other Care Pae adding their efforts to this 'attack', it becomes far stronger and adds feelings of love and caring to its effects.
Diet:
Eat meat? Eeewww... No way! Cass can eat as much as she wants, but I won't touch the stuff. That poor thing could have been a friend of somebody else! How horrible that someone could kill a living thing and then eat them... Ugh. No, I like to eat fruits and veggies. Green stuff isn't for rabbits, it's for Care Pae!
Likes:
I like spending time with Nae and Cass! While Ali and Ina are okay, Nae and Cass are the bestest on all the whole isle to play with. Nae lets me ride on her shoulders, and we go for long hikes in the woods. She lets me plant flowers, and sing, and braid her hair. Cass teaches me about the spirits, like Miz Joe and Mister Casey. I live with her most of the time now. I have my own pile of pillows, and a place to put away my special things.
Playing detector is my favorite game, and I'm really good at it, too. There are all sorts of cases around the isle that need solving, and this gummy-shoed detector is on the job! I still need to find some gum for my feet, though.
I can trust my plushie, Reine, to always watch my back. That's why I love him, cause he's always there for me, just like Rua. Rua and Reine are my deep-pooties, and we'll stop the hunting down of Pae snacks yet!
Dislikes:
Arguments are bad. They make friends not like each other. People should listen to what others say, and really listen. Hearts on sleeves only makes things worse. They should wear they're hearts on their faces, like my nose! Then looks wouldn't matter, they could just look at their hearts and see if they can be friends. They shouldn't put them under their feet, even though I have hearts there too. That would be really messy.
The stuffies are plotting something, I just know it! We will thwart their evil plan, and save all snacks from plushie domination! Rua and Reine back me up on this. The toys are going down! Oh, oh! Now we have Bedtime and Kishi on our side, too! Go, Detectors, go!
Currently:
Reine and Kishi, off on another mission!

  Name: Eirnae Slytherin-Natenhar (female, Elven, "sharp whisper") (British, "of the serpent") (Elven, "ancient seeker of wisdom")
Age: 135 years
Race: 50% Moon Elf, 25% Wood Elf, 25% Fey
Height: 5' 1"
Weight: 104 lbs.
Blood Type: O+
Appearance:
Eirnae has wavy dark blond hair that sweeps down to her waist, though recently she's dyed random strands of it either dark blue or black. A pair of small black feathered wings, with one wing to each side of her head, sprouted just before the incident that took her away from her family. These are composed of shadow, and it's unknown why they remain affixed to Eirnae's head despite their being incorporal. Her sea green eyes tilt upwards at their far corners, further marking her for her elven heritage. These are known to mostly glitter with mischief, but they also flare a bright electric green when she's angry. A royal blue gem, oval shaped and as long as the tip of Eirnae's ring finger to the first knuckle while half as wide, is nestled on her forehead where one's spiritual 'third eye' is considered to be. Her build is that of a swordswoman and a dancer, though her true strength is well hidden by her small frame and pleasing curves.
Tattoos:
She managed to convince Lenore to do a tattoo on Eirnae's right cheek, and the result was her tiny black cresent moon. Eirnae went to a professional to have her lower back worked on, getting an unusual and intricate pair of hearts that wind together in honor of her and Lenore's relationship. It wasn't till after Lenore left to deal with her father that Eirnae began the blood runes that now extend from her left wrist to the bottom of her corresponding ear. These were tattooed with Itzel's aid, and are intended to protect Eirnae from dark magic.
Likes:
Spending time with her family and friends, training, honoring her goddess, learning more about the world of Gaia, music, dancing, crafting jewelry
Dislikes:
Lenore's father, ignorance, those who take advantage of the weak, racism, and cruelty
Currently: Working on a new bath of teddy bears, and preparing for the wedding
Family: Lenore Slytherin-Natenhar (Lover, Fiance'), Shina (Eldest Daughter), Nyoka (Daughter), Vinyn (Daughter), Arlath (Daughter), Damien (Son), Casala (Youngest Daughter)
Extended Family: Calavel (Mentor), Cyoro (Adopted Sister), Throwyn (Nephew), Sehelis (Niece), Itzel (Alimus's Daughter, Niece), Ernia (Nyoka's Daughter, Granddaughter?), Neith (Adopted Sister), Kia (Neith's Daughter, Niece), Filix (Neith's Fey, Niece), Winifred (Neith's Daughter, Niece), Ellette (Neith's Daughter, Niece), Krista DarkAngel (Adopted Sister), Aylana DarkAngel (Krista's Daughter, Niece), Tinania (Krista's Daughter, Niece) Virendra (Aylana's Daughter, Grand Niece?)
Companions: Alimus (Best Friend), Ahlian (Bond Mate), and many others
Friends: Lucius (Lenore's Companion, Alimus' lover?), Braeden (Cyoro's Lifemate), Ghlyssa (Good Friend, "Little Leaf"), David Wolfenbrother (Good Friend), Sayuri Nitta (Good Friend), Kaekia (Good Friend), Hoshi (Kaekia's Son, Shina's Love Interest)

  Much has changed about the temple over the last few months. With the aid of her friends, both those living and the dead, Casala has restored much of the building's grandeur. The original stone of the pillars, walls, and roof have all been fitted together and sealed with a unique mixture Casala has dubbed 'Earth Essence', which was made possible with a bit of elemental assistance provided by her friends. They have even gone so far as to finish the highest peak of the temple's center dome, which now pokes up and out of the forest canopy. As ever before, though now strengthened by their restoration, the Sentinels stand in varying poses of alertness along the side walls of the marble building, guarding the temple against all threats.
Casala discovered the ruins of what was once a great temple to the Guardians hidden deep in the Loka Nei Forest. She knows little of its true history, as the ghosts that haunt it have hazy memories. Nevertheless, she's made it her home, and is nearly finished with the initial process of rebuilding it.
The entire floor of the interior of the temple is a mosiac of tiles. They are obviously very old and the majority of them chipped or cracked, though each stone looks to have been cleaned and polished. While there are still bits missing, and some look to have been secured in place as if by a child, the images that flow in its art tell tales of great love from the age when the temple was first created. Two statues of winged women hold tall white candles in each hand, their eyes set with glittering black stones that seem to follow you as you move. These are likely depictions of an angelic and a demonic Pae'il Elder, one with her halo and feathered wings, the other with her tail and bat-like appendages. Several of their parts have very fine lines wound around them, the only proof left that they were once in pieces. Numerous statues are arrayed throughout the main room, mostly tucked into alcoves with small tables before them, each with their own offerings of burning incense or candles. Silk cushions of blue, white, and black hues are in random piles by the entrance, with at least one by each of the tables before the alcoves with their statues. Still more are gathered in front of a small shrine at the center of the temple. This shrine is little more than a white marble table with nine legs, each ending in a different type of animal's foot. Upon its smooth surface rests four candles, two set to either side of a small orb that contains a fully bloomed iris.
    
I feel at home here, and feel my best when I am working on projects to further this place's renewal. Others have forgotten, but the spirits tell me what they remember. My mother and my friends help me to move the large chunks of rock that I couldn't manage before, and also aided me in setting up what she calls an altar in honor of the spirits that gather here. She promised to keep me in supply of the special candles she gave me, that she says contain a tiny piece of the elements they represent. Cobalt blue for water, blood red for fire, emerald green for earth, and sky blue for air. I put the orb with the immortal iris inside between them, simply because it felt right. It was a gift from Shina, and I want it to have a special place to belong.
When I'm not staying with Nae at Haven, the temple is my home. It's old but not musty, cause Cass cleans it a lot. I try to help, but there is so much I can't reach. I'm in charge of cleaning the tiles each week, which is a big responsibility. Rua helps me with her stardust. Together, we make each tile sparkle!
There is a path leading away from the temple that is as old as the ruins themselves. Once paved with smooth marble cobblestones that formed murals of the relationship between the Guardians and their charges, now it is grown over and missing several key pieces. If followed, it will eventually lead to a thick grove of trees and brush that look to be impenetrable by normal means. These will part if the spirit that guards the glen from within, a water elemental who calls himself Sumlian, allows the seeker passage.
The glen truly is a place of beauty, at least to an observer who can appreciate the natural wonders of the world. Wildflowers are scattered around the grassy clearing in a colorful halo, their soft petals waving in a gentle breeze that also rustles the blossoms on the cherry tree by the lake. Their scents mingle in the air, adding to the atmosphere of floral calm. The waters that tumble down the rocky side of the nearby plateau seem clear as cut crystal till they encounter the pool itself. There, it rises up in a gurgling white foam, then calming into a first blurry, then mirror bright reflection of the sky. It is within the cherry tree's branches that Mirim, the faery that has befriended Casala, makes her home. She's often found dancing amongst the flowers, or chatting with the animals that Sumlian allows to enter the glen.

 Eirnae wrapped a sash around me the day before she disappeared, and it provided me with a beacon with which to search for her. I keep it with me always, and find comfort in its presence. It is strong with her aura's light and mine. I'm going to start training with this for defensive purposes as soon as I can.
I don't carry my old satchel around with me anymore, not since Eirnae gave me my belt with its handy pouches. These little bags carry more than my satchel ever could, though I still don't fully understand how it's possible. Eirnae says that they were crafted with magic, and they can only hold so much before they explode, something around one hundred or so pounds each. I don't think I'll ever be able to put that much stuff in even one pouch, much less the four that are on my belt.
  
Gifts from Eirnae, and I love them all. The first is a cute little bear that looks a lot like me. I suspect that Eirnae made her for me, and she's all the more precious because of it. I cuddle both her and the plush butterfly at night, because even if I've grown I can appreciate having something to snuggle with. The last is what Eirnae calls an incense burner that is in the shape of a green leaf with a fairy perched on its stem. Eirnae also provided me with sticks of lavendar colored incense, and then showed me how to light the ends with flicker sticks. You have to blow out the flame so the jasmine scented smoke drifts up and around.
Of all the plushies, in all the world, Reine and the other Care Bears are the only ones I can trust. He's just like me, and not just in looks, either. We work together, along with Rua, to protect our food against the Circle of Angry Toys (C.A.T.). We're friends forever, united by a common cause!

  I've seen the others with their winged lights, and they seem to ignore them. I don't understand how they could, as Veron has never left my side. It's true that Veron doesn't talk much, but I can't picture life without their guidance.
Rua's been with me for as long as I can remember. She's golden, and shiny, and always follows me around. Sometimes I suck on one of her points, and she doesn't like that. Rua likes to escape and bob over my head afterwards. She always comes back down to where I can reach her again, eventually. I love my Rua.
Mirim came with Eirnae to see me, and she decided to stay. She likes to chase Veron around in circles while we're at home, and it's great fun to watch. She's quite Veron's opposite, with a love of chatter that rivals the loud pattering of rain on what remains of the shrine's stone roof.

  Eirnae
Eirnae has always been with me, even before I hatched I could feel her presence. She watched over me as long as she could, till she was called away when I was still a baby. She hasn't told me who was responsible for her soul being drawn from her body, but in a way I should likely be grateful to them. I never would have met her otherwise. Now she's returned to me, and has brought me into her family as her daughter. She's strong and fast, can move without a sound, and can use her blades as well as a bow and arrows to bring down her prey and enemies alike. If someone could take her down before, how can I protect her now? I need to become strong, too.
Nae is silly at times. She's loves me and Cass, but doesn't want to smother us, so she lets us stay at the temple and visits as often as she can. Cass says she wants to be tough, like Nae. I don't know if I want to be tough. Do people want to be friends with toughies?
 Lenore
I'll admit to not knowing much about Lenore in a personal sense, but Eirnae talks about her often. I have only recently met her a few times, but she seems everything that Eirnae talks about so fondly. She's beautiful, kind, polite, and she does indeed have the strong magical talent that I've heard about. I'm assuming that is why she has such a strong aura.
Miss Nore is very nice! What I don't understand is if she's our mommy too? She will be one day, I think, cause her and Nae are gonna get married and stuff.
 Alimus
Alimus is an unusual being, particularly because he seems more like a spirit given a physical manifestation than one of the living with a soul. Maybe he really isn't alive at all? He never eats or sleeps from what I've both seen and heard, and he can shift forms at will without having to go through any prolonged transformation. His eyes don't even have any pupils or irises. They're black, pure black, and shine like the surface of water that's too deep to dive into. He cares about Eirnae deeply, and he's never against helping out around the temple when he comes visiting with her. He treats me and Friend like we're his cubs, or at least that's what he calls us. I can't help my being fond of him.
Ali gives me rides on his back so I can reach things that are high up, and he takes me exploring in the forest to find new things! He holds on to Reine for me when I eat, and he lets Rua play in his hair. Ali is my friend.
 Shina
Shina is wonderful! She's taught me so much in so little time, and I hope she keeps coming over to visit. She could once see the spirits, too. She can't anymore, something about her gift transferring to her little boy. I really want to meet this Sei, her son, so I can understand what it is about him that makes her light up so much. She's warm, kind, gentle, and yet she still can kick butt and take names! I watched her and Eirnae practice with their staves before, and I so wanted to join in. Even now, since I'm Pae'il, I'm a lot shorter than the rest of my family, but Shina tells me that since I am stronger now she'll help teach me to fight and to fly! I'll be her student, and that of Signis. I don't know if either of them will be able to figure out my sash, but maybe if they don't, I will?
Shi is nice to me, and even took me flying once. I hope she'll come back soon, so we can plant the rose bushes together like she promised. Rua misses her a lot.
 Nyoka
I hear about Nyoka from both Eirnae and Shina, and she sounds quite formidable. I'm tempted to seek her out one of these days just to see if she'd be willing to give me some tips in regards to my training. She's said to specialize in the use of a longbow. I wonder what one of those is like to shoot?
'Oka is nicer than she looks, but lots of people are too scared to approach her cause she's all tall and scaley. I think 'Oka's scales are pretty, and they are always cool to the touch after she takes a nap in the shade. 'Oka doesn't like it when I touch her then, though. She gets all grumpy, and says she's not a worry stone, or something like that.
 Vinyn
I was warned by many that Vinyn is quite hyper, but I think perhaps they were simply remembering her younger years. Vinyn is easy to talk to, though admittedly she tends to dominate the conversation with her chatter. I believe she was just a bit nervous about meeting me for the first time, and that's what drove her to fill the silence with her voice. I don't mind, though. Sometimes people just need others to listen.
Vin's fun! She can make all sorts of breezes, and whirls me around, and around, and around! She even said she'd help me and Cass learn how to fly! Vin flies all of the time, unless she's swimming, cause she's got no legs. She's got a watery tail instead. Does that mean that Vin is a mermaid, or an elemental?
 Damien
I hope that Eirnae, or Damien for that matter, never read this part of my diary, because... When I first saw Damien, I had the urge to ask if he'd help me to understand what a real kiss is like. It's bad to think something like that about someone who is supposed to be your brother, right? I think I should pray to the Guardians about this, and let it go. For now, I'm having trouble meeting those gorgeous.. I mean, meeting his eyes whenever we talk.
Why does Cass get all blushy when she's around Mien? Is it because he said her hair is pretty? I say that Cass's hair is pretty all the time, but she never gets blushy! I should ask Mien how he does that.
 Arlath
I've never heard Arlath speak a word, not even when asked a question. She seems to prefer gestures, or body language, to get her point across. I am very curious as to just what her voice sounds like, and if it is the reason that she never talks. Is she ashamed of it, or does she just like seeming mysterious?
Whenever Cass tries to point Lath out to me, I can never see her. Does this Lath even exist? I'll keep looking, but maybe Cass is just trying to invent a new game?
 Itzel
Alimus's daughter is quite the playful sort, and likes to wrestle on the floor with just about anyone who will participate. I gladly joined in, because it looked fun and turned out to, indeed, be fun! I even got Eirnae and Alimus to smile because of it, so it was doubly worth it.
Whenever I'm at Haven, Zel and I get to play together! She's showing me all of the really neat hiding places that she and Latria have found in the forest, and even let me hide some of my own things in a few of them. She's one of the reasons why I love going back to Haven!

  Mrs. Joesphine
I know little of Mrs. Joesphine's past, or how she and the other spirits that do not look like my kind or the Aions got on the isle. I do not want to ask, as it seems rude to pry into someone's afterlife like that. Mrs. Joesphine taught me about that, you know. About manners, and how it is best to treat others with respect and kindness. She found me when I little, and helped to take care of me when my mother could not. I owe a lot to her, and am thankful that she has chosen to stay with me even now that I can take care of myself.
I can't see Miz Joe, but Cass tells me what she's saying sometimes. Miz Joe wants me to dress up in lacey things, with necklaces and stuff. Ugh! How can I play in something like that? Maybe the sparklies wouldn't be so bad, but a dress? No, thanks, but no.
 Sumlian
Sumlian is the self-appointed guardian of the glen that is nestled in the Loka Nei forest by the temple I've taken up as my responsibility. Since we met, I've had time to ask him about how he ended up at the glen. He's not from this region at all, rather he's a frost spirit from Gaia who found the isle while it was still upon Gaia's surface. Having lost his previous home, Sumlian took up the call to first guard the lake and then the glen around it, and he's done so ever since. I appreciate the chats and he and I share whenever I visit the glen, and his calming of the waterfall's roar upon request is definately a blessing.
Sum makes bubbles in the water for me, so I can chase and pop them when taking my bath! He tells funny stories with ice puppets, and can make the water of the lake tell stories, too. Visiting the glen each morning is fun, even if I have to wash my hair when we go.
 Bellatrix
Bellatrix and I met in the Loka Nei Forest not too long ago, and I find her to be both a beautiful and an interesting individual. I doubt I'll ever meet another Pae quite like her. The Yaaraea of the Serpent Clan are keenly interested in her, and even assigned one of their own to watch over her, and although it is a fledgling such is a great honor. I'm now a student of Signis, just like Bellatrix! That means I now have sparring partners, and I can finally start to work on my physical arts. Though I find myself wondering why she chose to actually kiss me instead of just tell me about it?
Bella is nice, and makes pretty good snacks, too. Too bad that she harbors so many plushies in the upstairs room. Poor Bedtime doesn't even realize the trouble she's gotten him into. Good thing they have Rua, Reine, and me!
 Bedtime
This little one is adorable, and hopefully will prove to be a great friend for Friend to play with on a regular basis. He's like a little brother to Bellatrix, even if she's not quick to admit it, just like Friend is a little sister to me. When he talks, it almost always starts off with a yawn. I wonder how a Pae can become so lethargic?
Bedtime! He's one of my own, with a tummy symbol and everything! He's my brother by blood, I'm sure of it! He's really sleepy most of the time, but he's really nice and helpful, too. I can't wait to give him his present, cause then Reine will have a playmate too!
 Rath Tir
I met Rath under strange circumstances while running away from a danger which he helped me to face, that of a large furry beast that likely thought me a promising meal right up to the point Rath and I injured it. As far as I can tell, he lives alone in the shelter of a huge skeleton covered with hides. Either he doesn't know how to talk, or he chooses not to, instead communicating through gestures and signals much like Arlath does. I'm going to visit him again, if only to try and help him better understand the world beyond Dragnid Forest.
Cass came back from a big adventure, talking about this Rath person and what it was like to nearly drown. I wish she'd taken me with her... It all sounds so exciting!

 Beldaran
Miss Beldaran was very kind to me, though she really didn't say much. She did offer me a sandwich in her pretty house, though. I hope she found her daughter... Oh, and she can talk with her mind. She hears thoughts too, I think. I'm not sure, though. She didn't say whether she could or not. She also said that she's an Elder. I've done a bit of research on the subject since then, and found out that Elders are the ones the Guardians have chosen to evolve to a higher stage. That's why she's so tall, and has skin like Eirnae. Do I want to be an Elder one day, too? I'm not sure yet.
I haven't met Miss Beldaran yet, though Cass says that she's really nice. Can someone really just talk with their mind instead of their mouth? I hope to meet her to found out for sure!
 Signis
I haven't known Signis for long, and to be frank, I'm not sure what to make of him. He and Bellatrix tease one another rather harshly, though I'd have to say her tongue is the most barbed so far. He claims to love Bellatrix, but they've only known one another for a few weeks at most. Is it even possible to love someone in that short of a time? He's an adult, and now my teacher, so I have to respect him. Still, I worry about Bellatrix in this. I'm sure she can take care of herself, but he seems to get under her skin.
Cass has talked about this guy a bit. She sounds confused as to how to talk to him, but who am I to suggest anything? I don't even know him. I hope he doesn't hurt Bella, though. That would be a big mistake, cause I dun want to see Bella mad.
 Polgara
I didn't get a chance to speak to Miss Polgara for long, or 'Pol' as she asked to be called. She seems able to call stuff from midair, but whether she creates them or simply brings them to where she is isn't yet clear. She offered me something called beer, which turns out to both taste nasty and do funny things to the brain. I'm glad I didn't drink the stuff, I just smelled it, and thus tasted it, on another Pae's breath. Bleck! Despite that, she seems of a goodly sort, and invited me to come and visit her at any time at her cottage. I think she's Miss Beldaran's wife, but I'm not certain. I guess I'll find out?
I wasn't there when Cass met Miz Pol, but Cass did describe what the smell was like. Eeeeewwww.... It sounded worse than badly burned meat! Miz Pol did mention tea at the end, though. Maybe I can go over and visit, and get some tea?
 Cabel
I really don't know much about him, other than he probably likes oranges, and he's very brightly colored. He's kind of like a sunset, right when the sun paints the clouds their bright golds and pinks while the stars wink into view overhead. I could even go so far as to call him handsome, even though the last view of him I had was of him being toted off wrapped in a blanket like a baby.
Someone colored somewhat like me? Okay, maybe he's got more colors, but he's got orange on him somewhere, and orangish hair! I wanna meet him and see for myself, and so does Reine and Rua!

 Mrs. Joesphine told me that sometimes people cannot be reasoned with, and you have to stand up for yourself and those you love, even if it may mean violence. She said that the people you have to protect against are called enemies. I don't want to hurt anybody, so I hope I never have any enemies.
Enemies? Who wants enemies? Not me!
.... Well, okay, maybe I can consider the rest of the toys my enemies. A gummy-shoed detector needs enemies, so he can detect them, after all.
