Story Mode 1
The day began with the sun shining brightly into the house, Autumn's Heart. Kiyo's eyes were blinded by the rays of the sun causing him to shut them painfully. He burried his head under his purple blanket and attempted to open his eyes once again.
Suddenly somebody started to shake him viguriously "Kiyo, time to wake up..." His blanket was pulled off him. Kiyoshi squinted his soft green eyes while they adjusted to the light. Ice's smiling face greeted him. "Good morning sleepy head! " she said cheerful. "Breakfast in ten minutes okay?"
Kiyoshi gat a small smile and nodded his head. He sat up and watched Ice run down the wooden stairs. While he got dressed the noise of the toaster was heard, plates and cups hitting off each other was also mingled with it.
After breakfast Kiyo went out to the porch. A cool breeze sweeped by him while he sat on the grass. He was admiring the scene when something sparkling blue caught his eye.
It was inside the little stream that flowed through their garden. Kiyoshi made his way slowly over to the shiney object. He tilted his head over, puzzled of what the object was.
The water shimmered and the dark blue object shone. Kiyoshi stuck his hand into the water and took the object out.
It was a blue stone with an awkard shape to it. It looked like a piece of the universe with millions of tiny little stars inside it. The shape looked like a wing yet very broken and crocked.
Kiyoshi spent the day wondering what it was. Slowly he began to feel sorry for the little stone's odd shape.
That night he left it on the window sill and fell into a peaceful slumber with a mixture of thoughts of feelings for the stone, he felt sad for it's strange shape and curiousity of what it might be part of.

" I wonder what it is.." thought Kiyoshi as he turned the stone this way and that way high above him. He sighed and sat down on the branch of the big cherry-blossom tree and putting the stone back in his pocket. The pretty pink and white flowers of the blossoming tree shaded him from the glaring sun.
Down below in the garden the Bunkichis were playing tag. Kiyoshi watched them for awhile then grew bored. Yesterday he had shown the stone to Ice. He told her about it's sad shape and it's lovely color.
"Maybe if you wish hard enough then it might feel better..." Ice told him that. Everytime he looked at the stone he would close his eyes and make a very hard wish. But each time he opened his eyes again nothing happened. The stone was still in it's sad, broken state. Kiyo would feel a litte disappointed but would be even more determined to make it happy again.
Then one night, before bed, Kiyo took the stone in his little hands and closed his eyes once again. "Please Relek, can you spare me one small wish and help this crying stone be happy again?" he whispered. He opened his eyes and nothing had changed. The stone was the same and nothing was different. Kiyo sighed and carefully placed the stone on the bed side. Quietly he climbed into bed and snuggled up to Ice for comfort. Then with one last thought "Mabe it will change tomorrow.." he fell asleep.

Entry 7
Kiyo has started to read books! He's started to look at the picture books in the house while I was drawing. He is now able to read about five words! ^^ I am very proud of my baby dragon ^^
I took him out to the Market place in search of more picture books. Poor little Kiyo still isn't used to other people and was clinging onto my hand while we walked. We only stayed in the Market for a little while. Kiyo was very relieved to be back home ^^
At home when he's not reading then he's playing with my chains. Well that's about it for today. Ja ne!

"Gah! This is terrible!" cried Ice as she paced back and forth. On the feathery white bed layed a panting and sweating Kiyoshi who was clearly in pain. The doctor was packing his medical bag and said calmy "He'll be fine Miss Ice. Just make sure that he takes his medicine and I'll come check on him every evening."
Ice stopped pacing and knelt down beside Kiyoshi. "Oh... My poor Kiyo..." she whispered as she held his hand and tears welled up in his eyes. "Relax mom" said Lee. "The doctor said that Kiyo will be fine." Ice did not look away from Kiyo and kept rubbing his hand. "My poor Kiyo" she whispered again. Patch lead the doctor out and kept an eye on the younder family members.
It was dark now and candles lit the small room. Kiyoshi was still breathding with difficulty and was still sweating. "so hot..." croaked Kiyoshi. Ice wiped away his sweat while Lee fanned him very lightly......

Several days have past since Kiyoshi had fallen ill. All the households of Autuam's Heart took turns taking care of him. Helping him on the road to recovery. Kiyoshi was getting better. Today he was almost all better. He is now able to sit up in his bed and the uncontrolable sweating had long ceased.
Kiyoshi watched Lee, the newst member of the family, with a dazed expression as Lee washed his cloth in a wooden basin. Iceion had gone out to buy more herbs, the younger siblings were playing outside and the older siblings resting....

Entry 8
Kiyo is feeling much better since he fell ill. He's been going outside again to play by the river. Yesterday I dropped him off at Raving's house to play with Cullen. He was a little nervous but I thought he'd be fine. Then I returned home to work in my lab until the evening and went to pick him up. His cheeks were all flushed and his eyes are shinning. When I brought him home everyone could tell he had fun! The bunkichis dragged him over to the living room to tell them what he did... Well I better go now. Bai bai!

Kiyoshi's Entry
Page 1
Well.. Mama told me that I can write in his blank book... She said it's to refresh memories that may be forgotten in time... So I shall start.
Yesterday Mama took me to Cullen's home. She was wearing a black and orange dress. Her house is huge! A lot of people live there. First we played a game... A new game to me. It was called um... "Princes and Princesses". It's very much like King Arther of the Round tables and the Cinderella that Cotton Wings told me about. I had to save Cullen from a ferocious dragon. It was actually just a teddy dragon but we pretended it was ferocious. I was very nervous about it all...
After that she took me to her Mama's room. We had to go on his big box that moves us up and down. It was very exciting! Then afterwards I showed her my secret. I used my powers and turned one of her metal clocks into a spiral bracelet.
She was really impressed ((*smiles at the memory*)). And she wanted to keep it too! even though I hadn't done it very well. I still haven't fully developed my power yet... I will show Mama sometime too...
Well, going back to where I was. We watched a movie called "The Nightmare before Christmas". There was a skellington call Jack and he was very cool! I liked him very much. And there was a rag doll called Sally and the bag guy was Oggy Boogie. We talked about our Mama's during it... Cullen's Mama is a secret detective! I thought it was really nice to be a professional detective.
Then I told her that my Mama is a Alchemist and Spirit Helper... Then after that we talked about the magic school Hogwarts... We made a promise that we'd go to the school together when we're older. I hope we do. We're going to be like super heros and save the world from evil!
Well, after that we took a walk in her garden. She has this very big playhouse for herself that Ms. Raving got her. We played in the cheery-blossoms, or really danced. Cullen taught me how to dance a little. It was really fun! Then we went to feed their fishys in the pond... One sucked my finger thinking it was food! I was a bit nervous incase it bit my finger off...
Then we talked some more and went back to the kitchen and then Mama came. Cullen gave me a hug and we left... I like playing with Cullen ^^ . Umm.. I have to go to bed now!
-Kiyoshi.

Entry 9
*puzzled sad face* I don't understand... Kiyoshi was fine all the other days.. He's suddenly been getting this really bad pain! First his head would hurt then his whole body would! But what worries me the most is that he... he... *whispers* changes... He becomes somebody else... Somebody very unlike him. It's as if an spirit took over his body.
The first time this happened, he gave Lee a disgusted look when he tried to help him up. He shied away and turned his head away from me when I talked to him... He kept his mouth clenched and slapped your hand away if you tried to touch him. This lasted for a mintue and then he cluched his chest, where his heart would be, and then lost conciousness...
When Kiyo woke up he was his normal self.. Except he was shaking violently and looked scared. He wouldn't tell us what he saw or if he remembered anything.. I hope he's ok... *sighs... then gives a determined look* I must help him!
~Iceion
Kiyoshi's Entry
Page 2
Something terrible is happening to me. A few days ago I felt this terrible pain... It started in my head then as if I got a very high shock, the pain would surge through the rest of my body. For a few seconds all I can see is black but then I found myself inside someother place...
It was not home. The place was scary. It was a small square room with prison gray walls... The walls were filled with terrible things written in what looks like blood... Then a person can in. He looked like me except in different clothes and he kept smirking at me... I.. I.. I don't think I can continue... It's too scary to think about... Goodbye.
- Kiyoshi

Kiyoshi's Entry
Page 3
The horrible pain is coming more and more now... It keeps throwing me into that scary room. So much gray... So much blood... And the worst thing is that.. Cullen was there once when it happen... She was crying when I could see the garden again...I hope I didn't scare her too bad... I didn't mean too. Really I didn't. In the room there's so much writting... When I was disappearing I saw my name... But I'm not too sure...
The sad stone is gone. I cannot find it anywhere. Maybe someone took it... Cullen and I have been playing together in the past weeks. I like playing with her... I don't have to hide from her... The other Teycos.. I'm not so sure... They are strangers... I don't know what they are like... I should observe them from a distance sometime...
Everybody is wary of me now at home... Everyone except Mother and Lee... I know they are worried about me... They are always asking how I feel... But even though I know they only ask to make sure that I'm fine... It gets annoying after awhile... I wish they would stop. Maybe I should try tomorrow... maybe...
I better stop writting now. I'm getting tired. Goodnight,
- Kiyoshi

Entry 10
Well... It's been awhile since Kiyoshi's last... pain session. Sometimes when the other him goes away and he comes back, he mumbles about seeing so much blood. But when I ask him what had happened he'd look at me with such fearful eyes and bury his head in his hands...
On we alway have someone taking care of him. I would most of the time, Lee and Seeker woudl spilt the time between them when I'm not around or busy. For now Kiyoshi has just been playing sitting in the garden, occasionally climbing the trees and napping. He has also been asking me for a lot of metal... Well I must go now.
-Icy
Kiyoshi's Entry
Page 4
It's been 2 weeks since the last time I was thrown into that bloody room. I feel as though I get weaker everyday and yet... I also feel stronger... It is a very strange feeling... There has been a new addition to the family... His name is Seeker. He's half-crow and has been helping mother find more of his kind. I don't really like him... He is so rash...
Sometimes when they're not looking I practice changing the shapes of metal that I got from mother. I think when I get older I'll get better at it. I can't wait to grow up! Then I can finally do what I want in peace. I think mother is taking me to the sanctuary tomorrow... I am torn between not wanting to go and wanting to go... Feelings are really confusing... I wish I didnt' have any. Then I wouldn't feel pain... But... What about happiness? Will I still feel that? It's time for me to finish up now. Goodnight
- Kiyoshi

I have been trying to change the metals shape with perfection for the past few days. But it is not working. There is a very big difference in what I wanted it to change into and what it ends up looking like. I am very confident that as I grow, so will my gift.
I have been staying at home with the others. Seeker and Lee no longer keep a close eye on me. The pain is gone. For now. I think I will go and practice more....

Entry 11
Ack! Kiyoshi is sick again cry It's almost the same as last time. He's sweating a lot and has a high fever. I'm not sure how he got sick... But I know that it's bad. Lee has looked up some medical books and is gone out to retrieve some herbs. Seeker is accompanying him. Poor Kiyoshi. He's so weak he can barely whisper a word... Well, I have to go and change his head cloth.
~Iceion.
Page 6
I am... Not feeling so well. My head feels like an erupting volcano and won't stop. And my body feels like it's full of lava. It's uncomfortable. I get dizzy everytime I try to sit up so I can't walk very much. Mother tells me to walk a little everyday in the garden anyway. She said it might help the dizziness. She supports and carries me when I cannot go on.
So hot... It's so hot. I wish I was in the North... Where all the wonderful snow is... So nice and cool against my skin.. So nice... Or a cool piece of smooth metal. So nice to feel... I want to practice again... I don't want to sleep. The other me keeps locking me inside... locking me inside while I'm weak... I have to keep him in.. Must keep him in... ----- "Kiyoshi drops his pen and the book and falls asleep, too weak to continue."

Entry 12
It's been a quite a long time since I last wrote here. A few weeks to be a little more percise. Kiyoshi is much better then the last time I had written in this journal. He's able to walk around by himself but he has to have a wooly jumper or blanket with him at all times. Kiyo doesn't complain, but I know he dislikes the sweaters.
Cullen came to visit him sometime last week. He was quite happy to have a visiter. Quite happy indeed. Also I think the dragon genes in Ki- ((BOOM!)) O.O! My LAB! *rushes away!*
Page 7
Journal? I am sorry that I didn't write for a very long time. But I was sick you see. So please don't be mad. I promise I will write alot more often. Well... I shal tell you about the days when I was not here. A little bit of days ago Cullen came to visit me. I was very glad to see her. Having only Seeker to talk to is sleepy work. And Seeker is the one who also does the sleeping.
Oh yes. Cullen brought presents too! She gave me grapes and a small jar full of little shiney gems. And before that though she made me soup and orange juice. It was very nice soup. It was chicken tasty, my favourite flavour in the whole wide world.
Umm... Seeker has been laughing at me. He said that boys don't keep journals. Mama tells him off when he does. She tells me it is okay. It is a book of memories. I like writting in you. But now I have to hide you because Seeker will try and find you and he might read you out to everybody. So everyday I hide you in different places. I am very sorry that I had to squash you behind the flower pot yesterday. But it was an emergency. Umm.. I think I might be going to the Sanctuary today... I wonder if other Teycos will be there this time? I have to go now. Seeker is coming.
Goodbye,
-Kiyoshi
Btw: I am getting good at the metal changing

p***k...p***k... went his skin just underneath his left eye. He was about to scratch it but a shape pain shoot through him. Whimpering he withdrew his hand and hid under his blanket, a childish action to try make the pain go away. "Kiki?" called Lee softly from the room. "...It hurts Lee...." whispered Kiyoshi, scared.
Unfortunatly Kiyoshi seems to be the target of unbearable pain. Something that happens maybe because of what he is. A Forsaken. He whimpered quietly again as he thought of the hurt that the room had caused him. He wished to feel no more. He didn't like it at all.
"Show me Kiki" commanded the teenager gently. Kiyoshi felt his blanket being tugged away and he gripped it tighter. Skin pricking as if sharp nettles were pushed into his skin. "Come on Kiki, show me what hurts" coaxed Lee, trying his best to see the problem as quick as possible. ".... I want Mama..."
"She's not here at the moment."
Sharp needles, scrating his face. As if the hurting was trying to create some kind of art work. "Kiyoshi! Let me see at once!" shouted Lee. Starting to panic as red spots started to appear on the purple blanket. And without waiting for Kiyoshi to react, he stripped him of the stained cloth and gasped at what he saw. Kiyoshi sat up and looked into Lee's eyes. It softened and he said "does it hurt Kiki?..." Kiyoshi nodded. Lee hugged Kiyoshi and silent tears fell from both. Lee, because he knew the ill fortune of his half brother. Kiyoshi, because he knew in his heart that he could no longer go into the world and face others without horrified reactions.
His salty tears stung his new skin deep cuts. The hurt had left for now. Lee had gone down to get him some food. Faye was rushing home this very minute. The rest of the family were all downstairs, Lee had told them to leave him alone. He lifted his legs off the bed and tried to walk to the mirror. His head felt as if a tornado had entered and was spinning everything around. Concentrating as hard as he could, he made his way to the wooden chair and dropped down.
Lifting his head up to see his refection, he gasped and stared. The mirror mimiced him. From his frozen face to his untidy hair... To a new mark around mainly the left of his forhead where little cracks were forming. It looked like as if a dry desert had been stripped of all it's moisture. Suddenly, filled with hidden rage, Kiyoshi picked up a small box and threw it at the glass, shattering it into a million pieces that sparkled in the setting sun. Running to his wardrobe he hid himself and sobbed his heart out...
