Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Changeling's and Avaling's are what I adopt out. Changeling's are a very rare breed of horse. They from birth change depending on their suroudnings, and also how they are treated. For instance you give them a blue stall, within a few days they themselves will have taken that coloring in some form. In time with love they can transform into Horses, Unicorn, Pegasus. Then later on in life, very rare, they can become Allicorns, or Hypocampus." Ceres smiled. "Avaling's are a bit more." Ceres lost the word but continued. "They are children that minic your appearance and combine with an animal when younger but take on there own forms when older. I'll have to let you meet Perian some time, she is one." Ceres stopped at the location.

Once Ceres had stopped, Rhine stopped too. He cranned his head towards Renor smiling. "What is your favorite food? Mine is fish pancakes."

Tinker sat down, and started to empty the basket.

Ceres pondered for a moment. "If Renor doesn't mind fresh water, about 15 minutes on our way back there is a pond. Rhine is fond of it. We can have a stop here after our picnic. If you prefere salt there is the ocen about 15 minutes from here in the oposite dirrection. Being water dragons, I guess we are in perfect location." Ceres laughed. "And of course we have the castle, and just about anything else on this island." Ceres paused. "But all that is spread out, and for another day."

Tinker looked up. "Lunch Time!"

Rhine's head followed her mothers words unitl Tinker called for lunch. "She probably packed Sushi." Rhine smiled at Renor.

Ceres paused a moment, trying to read Satin. "Many people in the big cities do not have enough means to enjoy the more humble things of country life." Ceres hoped that came out alright. "You are more than welcome at anytime to visit my island. We've got many, many things for visitors to enjoy that don't cost a thing." Ceres smiled, and dug in her back pocket for a map.

"The top of the map hasn't really been explored much by humans or the like there of. But the rest is pretty much friendly. Well except the grove. That can take a persons thoughts and turn them again them. Or vis versa. It is meant to guard my mother. She's a tree..." Ceres stopped fearing she was rambling. She had hoped that this had come as an open invitation as a revisit.

Tinker cut in as she set down a large plate of sushi for the group to enjoy. Also other tasty foods foods followed. "Enjoy!"

Rhine waited for Renor to have the first piece.

"I am not entirely sure of the story myself. I am not entirely how old this island is. But I do know that my mother was once human. She was like me, for every 25 years of our time, we gain one human year. She fell in love on earth. The island was fading without her to guard it. She had to make a choice. She left earth. And like all things the will in her is what transformed her into a tree. She is "one" with the island. When I was 6 in earth years, my dad something happened. It is really a blurr. Some how I ended up here... Shattered mirror. I cannot leave this island for more than a couple hours at a time. All my connections involve mirrors, much like how you came here." Ceres smiled. "How about a little bit about yourself?"

Rhine in the mean time and rolled onto his back. Showing a slick underbelly. He wiggled until the earth moved to conform around him. With that Tinker knew what he wanted. She sat a large plat onto his stomach. "Thank You!" With that he poped the sushi into his mouth lazily. "I love to eat."

A small played about Ceres' lips. "Victoria... A sister of sorts, has vampire in her blood." Ceres looked away for a moment, and then slipped into another topic. "Military, I am sure where you come from it is necessary. Although, around here we fend for ourselves." Ceres giggled. "My ball of scales was intentional. Perhaps not gender or breed. But loved all the same." Ceres lowered her voice, and moved her hand to cover her lips. "Rhines a bit girly. He's got like 5 sisters." Ceres winked.

Rhine bellowed a deep laugh, and pat his tummy. "Makes a great table!" Rhines next cranned the little it could to look at Renor. "Otter... Don't think I've seen one of those" He gave a puzzled look.

"And what will you do when he out grows the special doors?" Ceres looked almost serious but then a smiled played on her face. "I myself just leave all the doors at a crack, then again I leave nothing to guess work." Ceres paused. "Well... I mean I do understand privacy, and that's the only reason we have them." Ceres was rambling. Trying to explain herself with each sentence.

"I'll have to ask mother about them some time." Rhine had finished his lunch, with a loud twap of his tap he rolled back onto all fours. "You ready to explore?"

"Rhine is pretty decent about not barding in. Then again nothing goes on that nobody isn't supose to know about. "Ceres winked. "Best of luck with not needing a new door." Ceres giggled.

Rhine called out to Mom. "We are going to go explore."

Ceres nodded her head. "Don't go to far."

Tinker spoke up. "I can go with them if you like mom."

Ceres shook her head. "He needs some male bonding time, or whatever they call it."

Ceres looked back to Satine.

Rhine motioned for Renor. "Let's go, before they see us." Rhine slithered off rather quickly for the normal.
