: biggrin ay 71 ~ 29 July::'I think Lori is up to something.' stated the feien as she landed on her room shelf.
Under the bed covers in the corner, a small pixacat adjusted his resting position. 'Hmm?'
'I said, I think Lori is up to something. She's been acting strange lately.' Frustrated with the lack of concern the pixacat had, Shux made her way to the bed and jumped on it. Elonas retaliated, finding his way out of the covers and swiping his clawed paw at the feien. 'Hey now, that’s no way to treat me.'
'You’re the one being rude! Bouncing on the bed, disrupting my sleep.'
'Oh it’s not like you don't get 23 hours of sleep a day anyway. So anyway, what do you think?'
Elonas pawed at his face, wiping the sleep away from his eyes. 'I think you’re just paranoid about the new feiens that she has told you about. You’re not one for company.' Knowing the cat had a point, Shux turned her face away. She didn’t want to be outsmarted by her cat.
Saved from having to continue the conversation, Shux heard the front door unlock. Small fingers wrapped around the corner of the wall. The feien listened to the intruder. Keys clanked against the counter. Lori’s home. Not wasting another moment, Shux deadheaded to the kitchen. Lori indeed came home and currently sitting at the counter holding something in her hands.
Shux landed on the counter, next to the keys she heard clang moments before. She could feel heat radiate from them, most likely absorbed from the human’s hand. Shux kept her eyes on her owner’s palms. Inside them carried a purple holly leaf. She knew the time would come when the new bloom would arrive, it still didn’t make her any happier that it had finally happened. 'Did you get that today?'
Lori nodded her head softly. She turned to the feien on the counter and smiled softly. 'Delivered today. Reminds me of when I first got you. This one didn't turn out very flower like either, but it’s still quite beautiful.'
The feien snuffed at the human’s comment of blooms. 'Sorry I was such a disappointment.'
Blinking, Lori couldn’t understand why Shux appeared in a mood. 'Why do you say such a thing? It wasn’t meant to be negative. I would appreciate it if you dropped this attitude as well.' she finished with a twinge of bitterness.
Shux hung her head. Feeling bad for being unjustly rude to her human still didn't mask the jealousy she had towards the new bloom. Raising her head slowly, she thought it would please Lori if she at least attempted to be nice. Her wings glided her to Lori's other opened palm. Shux picked up the leaf, examining it’s luster against the ceiling lights.
'It’s about time you got more company around here. You’ve been spending far too much time by yourself lately. I worry about you little one.' Lori reached a finger up the Shux’ silver locks and gave them a stroke. 'You’re going to have to get rid of that solitude complex. Won’t really work with another like yourself around.'
Smiling meekly at her owner, Shux continued looking at the bloom, imagining what might come from within.

Harry Potter's Birthday! Yay!Shux' Journal So, it's been a few days since we have had that bloom in the house. Lori doesn’t trust me to be around the bloom alone. What does she think I'll do? Feed it to the neighbor's dog? Honestly! I’m insulted that should would believe that -I- would do such a petty thing.
Even thought I hate to admit it, the bloom is quite stunning.

: biggrin ay 74 ~ 1 August::'Hmmm…' Shux looked upon her difficult task that laid before her. A finger rubbed gently across her lips as she pondered how to make the CD player work. Her scarlet eyes scanned the words written under each button until she found the one she had been searching for. The plastic felt cool against her hands as she pushed in the 'Power' button. Now for play. Luckily she found that quite fast.
The feien jetted down to the speaker where her company was waiting. Not that it would go anywhere. It was just Rislin’s bloom. Shux remembered how Lori would test sounds, foods and other things to see if she took a liking to any. Matchbox Twenty's 'Soul' played softly from the speaker. Shux watched the bloom, hoping for a good reaction.
But alas, there was none. Was the bloom defunct?
Reaching a tiny hand up, Shux softly touched the bloom which fluttered slightly. Her hand froze in it's spot. Weird….. She ran her finger tips around the edges. The bloom fluttered some more. A small chuckle escaped Shux' mouth. 'Well, I guess that’s something.'

: biggrin ay 74 cont.::Shux' Journal Okay fine! I admit it. The new bloom is beginning to grow on me. But still….I’m not pleased about having to share the house with another creature. Lori really doesn’t need another feien. I should be plenty enough for her.
I tried to test the bloom with Matchbox Twenty music., but music seems to have no effect on the bloom. Maybe not yet. Still strange. Or I could have done it wrong. Which is very possible. Hmm.

: biggrin ay 75 ~ 2 August::Chapter Four
Emperial had a gift for picking times when the shop was deserted. It was a good thing, too, as she had now been more or less absent from the shop for two months and had no wish to explain her absence to anyone, even her invited guest.
Seated regally on her shoulder, Corvus surveyed the area and decided very little, if anything, had changed in his absence. He had not yet decided if he felt relieved or disappointed.
Something on his magical radar pinged. “I think your friend’s here.”
Brushing a strand of hair from her eyes, Lori looked down once again at the piece of paper. It held a message from Em, requesting her presence along with her bonded feien at the shop. She smiled at the feien currently on her shoulder. 'Hmmm, odd. Emperial has never asked to meet me at the shop. I wonder what it's about.'
Shux leaned back against Lori's neck. 'You've been a bad owner. Leaving me alone all the time. I think she's going to punish you.' she responded with a smartass twist.
Lori rolled her eyes. The shop appeared deserted at first, which seemed odd. However, it was Shux who first noticed Emp and Corvus. After pointing this out, the two made their way over.
“Lori! How goes it?” beamed Emperial. “How’s the new bloom doing?” From her shoulder, Corvus studied Shux warily.
Lori returned the smile with curiousity. 'Not much. Yourself?'
Shux held up the bloom that was residing in her lap to show Em it was doing fine. Shortly after she noticed someone else was looking at her. She stared blankly at Corvus.
Em tossed her head from side to side. “Doing fine I suppose. I thought I might ask you if you’d be interested in another feien?”
'ANOTHER!' interjected Shux.
Lori's hand snatched up Shux, one finger covering her mouth. She stuggled a bit, but decided it wasn't worth the effort.
'Another? Hmmm. Why me?' Lori questioned.
“Isn’t it obvious? I mean, you’ve done so much for me... I really rather owe you! And feien are unfortunately the only thing I have to give.” Em hung her head.
“A-hem,” coughed Corvus. “They’re not toys.” He looked at Lori and Shux. “Are you an able caretaker?”
Lori gave a small giggle. 'Helping you is no problem. Seeing you happy is reward enough.' When Corvus replied, she thought on the question. 'I think I am, but I guess I really wouldn't be the one to ask, now would I?'
Shux rolled her eyes.
Said Em: “I wouldn’t have recommended her if she weren’t good, Corvy. Just tell her what it is you want to do.”
Corvus sighed and crossed his arms. There was simply no arguing with such a pronouncement. “Very well, then. It’s simple, really. I am about to attempt to revive a feien from a gemstone, and said feien will require a human bond. Assuming this even works at all. It’s all theory at the moment.”
'Revive a gem?' Shux questioned. 'I thought they were only good for evolving feiens. Kinda creepy. I mean, it's like bringing back the dead. Bit like messing with nature. Unnatural like.' She waved her hand a bit.
Raising an eyebrow, Lori showed signs she was very interested in having such a feien.
“That’s precisely the idea!” exclaimed Emperial. “It’s like necromancy, which is why I immediately thought, ‘hey, Lori would find this interesting, eh?’ It’s so delightfully macabre.” Her eyes were glinting in a peculiar manner, as they so often did when subjects of gore were mentioned.
“But,” Corvus interrupted his bond’s enthusiasm, “there is no telling what will happen. Do you know Arturo, by any chance?”
Lori laughed. 'Yes. That is quite fasinating. You're getting to know me too well. I may have to change to keep myself mysterious.'
'I've seen Arturo. He kept to himself usually. Didn't seem the social type, not that I mind.' Shux responded. She had been the one who had met the most feien, as Lori had usually kept away from the shop most of the time.
Corvus opened his mouth to offer an explanation only to have Emperial start talking instead. “Arturo is a feien that predates Corvus’s summoning,” she said. “He was going to die like all the other old feien, but Corvus saved his life by binding him to a human: Puchiko in this case. What Corvus proposes to do now is much the same, only instead of a live feien, we’ve got a feien gem, and Corvus thinks this will bring the feien back to life from the gem. So, wanna be our guinea pig?”
'Sure!' exclaimed Lori. 'I'm always up for new things.'
A small 'hmpf' came from Shux' direction.
Em reached into her pocket and fished out a handful of gems. They ranged from one to three inches in size. “Just pick a gem then.”
“And then maybe I’ll be allowed to do something,” groused Corvus.
Greed flashed across Lori's eyes when Em pulled out the gems. She smiled devilishly and fished in the pile. Finally deciding on a tear dropped deep blue gem. 'This one looks interesting enough.' She held it up to Corvus between her index finger and thumb.
“At last, my turn,” he said, rolling his eyes as he stood.
“Oh, stop being such a drama queen,” chided Em.
“You stole my explanation!” he whined. “But fine. Lori, place the gem on the palm of your hand. I expect if this works, the fairy will require some room.” He floated from Em’s shoulder and shook out his arms in preparation.
Lori held the gem in her palm, as instructed. She began to wonder if this would somehow hurt her.
Shux crossed her arms, obviously not too thrilled with the whole situation.
Corvus, as was usual for his magical performances, closed his eyes and furrowed his brow. The vague golden glow around him (accumulated during his transition to Enhanced) intensified. It seemed to be forming swirled patterns akin to the new markings on his body. The swirls extended, like tendrils, curling out towards the gem.
Whatever this magic was, it seemed to be taking its toll on Corvus. His muscles tensed and his teeth ground together. The golden swirls began to circle first the gemstone, then Lori’s hand, creating a sensation not unlike goosebumps.
Lori gave a shutter as the swirls covered her hand. 'Whoa. Weirdness.'
But Shux wasn't looking at the gem. Her eyes stayed on Corvus. So much dedication to a job. Yet he would go thru pain to test his powers. How odd.
The surface of the gemstone seemed to suddenly gleam and it began to glow blue. The glowing increased quickly, until the gemstone’s features became indistinct and hazy. It almost seemed as if the gemstone were changing.
Corvus let out a cry of tiny fairy fury. His arms jerked once. The magical line between himself and the gem turned into a pillar of light, all blue and gold and black mixed together. The magic surrounding the gemstone grew into a glowing ball that filled Lori’s palm. It felt almost as if it were one with her skin, a sort of glowing, pulsing, living wart or tumor. It was vaguely painful, but no more so than a mild bruise.
As quickly as it had grown, the glow began to dissipate, subsiding around both summoner and summoned. Corvus’s eyes opened at last and he sank back into Emperial’s waiting hands. As he did, the glowing ball of light on Lori’s palm shrank into a tiny humanoid form.
Emperial let out a small gasp and crowded close to see. “An Ancient!” she exclaimed. “Is she, y’know, alive? Or just a corpse?” She thought of Corvus’s corpse from the Floating Citadel.
'I think she is.' Lori poked at the feien.
She squirmed when touched. Her golden eyes shot open and scanned the scene around her.
Shux flew to Lori's palm and batted away the human's other hand. 'What a way to come back to the world. Poke by a weird human.'
“Is she--” Emperial started. There came a furious cry from somewhere in the rafters above as a flash of light blue dive-bombed Corvus.
“Corvus! What have you done!?” This was no mere flash of light blue: it was in fact the former leader of East America, Julius. His eyes were hidden beneath his blindfold, but his mouth was twisted into an angry sneer. He paused in his sneering for just a moment to look over at Lori’s hands and exclaim, “Semella!”
Flabbergasted, Emperial managed a weak, “Hello, Julius,” as Corvus scrambled up her arm towards what he perceived to be safety.
Shux jumped at the cry. Out of fear, she jetted to Lori's hair and hid in it.
Semella on the otherhand, looked around blinking, unaware that the subject Julius was refering to was herself. 'Um..excuse me. Do you mean me?' She began to not care for the situation that was surrounding her. It seemed too much of an overload. She rubbed her head slightly.
Lori just stared at Julius.
The look of sheer pain and disappointment upon the visible portion of Julius’s face spoke more than any words could ever hope to. He stretched out a hand and YANKED Corvus back, eliciting a tiny gasp from Emperial. Corvus’s bond was suddenly thrown into the difficult position of either trying to help her beloved feien, or trusting a leader among feien she considered to be her friend to not kill said beloved feien. She resolved this conflict by simply refusing to answer it and hesitated.
“You,” growled Julius as he yanked Corvus forward like a rag doll. Corvus was too shocked to offer much protest. “How dare you use such forbidden power! You have altered the natural course of life!” Corvus was face to face with Julius now, dangling upside down in front of the elder feien’s head.
'I told you!' squeeked Shux' voice somewhere in Lori's hair.
Semella finally got up to her feet and brushed herself off. She watched as Julius was dangling Corvus around. Biting one fingertip, she though it would be best if she said something, since she came to the conclusion this might be about her. 'What exactly did he do?'
“To revive a dead feien,” rasped Julius, “is a crime against nature.” He would say no more on the matter.
“Put Corvus down,” ordered Emperial. “If it was such a crime, you should have told us beforehand, Juli.”
Julius relinquished the exhausted Corvus to his bond’s hands, where the summoner flopped down and stayed. “I did not think he possessed the magic. It was something only one other feien has ever been able to do. I should have known that he would pass it on to Corvus.” Julius snorted angrily and turned back to the newly summoned feien. “Semella, wait here. I’ll go fetch your things.” Julius disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shux peaked out from Lori's hair to see if it was safe.
Lori turned to Em. 'Few questions, if you please. One, who is that? And Two, why is..Semella, is it? Why is she well....' she holds Semella up 'purple?'
Semella watched as Julius flew out of the shop. Dead feien? My things? What's happening to me?
Emperial tucked Corvus into her shirt. He mumbled some sort of a thanks and curled up in her bra. “That was Julius,” she explained, “former High Council Leader of the feien. Think of him like the former king. Very powerful, immortal I think, and he was the one who gave me Corvus.” Emperial peered at Semella. “I’ve always heard that the feien before Corvus’s summoned ones had a lot more traits or whatnot. So I guess it’s just that.” She shrugged; she understood it precious little herself.
'Hmm..odd. Still, neat all the same.' Lori smiled at Semella, thinking this would be an interesting treat for Shux.
Semella sat back down on Lori's palm. She touched her locks, then the horn in the center of her head. She eyes slowly shifted in Lori's direction. 'Who are you?'
'Oh! Lori. Your new bond mate. Cool, huh?'
Semella didn't appear too impressed, but instead just very tired.
“As much as I’d love to stay and learn everything about Semella, I think I had better get Corvus home,” sighed Em. She stroked Corvus’s wings (which were sticking oddly out of the front of her shirt).
Something fell from somewhere above onto Lori’s palm, dropped with an inhuman precision. It seemed to be some pale scraps of cloth attached to thin bits of gold. Apparently these were Semella’s things. Julius was nowhere to be seen.
Lori grabbed the clothes that fell. 'I take it these are yours.' She held them to Semella. 'Okays, Em. I gotta get running myself. Early shift tomorrow. Hope you feel better Corvus.' Lori waved to Em and took off out of the shop.
The shop was still then, quiet as if nothing had ever happened. It was just another normal day there, after all, no matter how amazing the events that took place.

: biggrin ay 77 ~ 4 August::Semella sat in her new room, glancing from blank wall to blank wall. Folded up neatly in the corner, the clothes Julius had retrieved for her on the night of her rebirth. The blue and violet feien had not yet worn the clothing. Even though she knew they belonged to her, and always had, she still could not help the gut feeling they truly belonged to someone else. Her past self. She could not understand how she could possibly have lived once before.
As she slowly stroked Rislin’s bloom, Semella began to think Shux did not like her. Ever since her arrival, Shux had kept herself in her own room. Not speaking unless needed. Semella knew this wasn’t shyness on Shux’ part, as Shux did not appear so when they spoke. Her words were always loud and clear.
Semella paced her room, wondering if she could possibly fix this situation. No logical solutions came to mind except going straight to Shux and confronting her on the matter.

Luckily for me, this new one has left me alone. Here’s hoping she keeps this up. Last thing I need is two feiens nagging the hell out of me. She’s also taken over care of the bloom. It seems to have taken a liking to her more. Not going to argue with that.

::4 August cont.::A knock on the side wall distracted Shux during her journal writing. Annoyed, Shux slammed her quill against the pile of paper in front of her. Her scarlet eyes darted around the room, seeing who would ruin her concentration.
The disturbance revealed itself to be Semella. The purple feien appeared apprehensive about confronting her new flat mate. She gave a tiny wave and landed on the floor. The smallest of smiles disappeared quickly from Semella's face upon seeing Shux' own reaction. Semella began shifting her hands around, not knowing where they should go. 'Umm…hi…' her voice whispered.
Shux blinked, not caring to respond.
Semella took a couple of steps in Shux’ direction and attempted a conversation again. 'I…uh…thought we…you know…should get to know each other better. Since we now share a home.'
After tucking her journal papers under her pillow, Shux sat up and gave Semella her full attention. However, Shux still wasn't saying anything.
Elonas made himself noticed when he curled around Semella's ankles. She giggled and bent down to pick up the pixacat. 'Oh…aren't you cute? What's your name?'
'Elonas' responded the cat with a purr.
'A talking cat! How sweet!'
'Yeah, the trick is getting him to shut up.'
Elonas glared daggers in Shux' direction, but she made no notice of it. 'You know Shux, your bitterness is going to kick you in the butt.'
'Now, now…' Semella interrupted. 'So, did you draw that?' she pointed to the abstract line art Shux had done on one of her room walls.
Shux nodded. 'Yes.'
'Well, they are very nice. I like it.' She petted Elonas a bit more. But Shux still wasn't attempting to keep the conversation going. Taking the hint, Semella placed Elonas on the ground and left without a goodbye.

: biggrin ay 79 ~ 6 August::Semella's Journal I saw Shux writing when I went to visit her a few days ago. My thought is maybe I should do the same. Who knows what may happen to me in this life.
She still has not warmed to me. I don't understand why she has such animosity. If I knew what I should do….I feel so helpless. The feelings I have, I cannot control. I wish I could. I should learn.
But there is still one that seems to like me. The bloom enjoys my company. It rustles whenever I re-enter my room. I think that is it’s way of saying hello. I smile whenever I see it.

: biggrin ay 81 ~ 8 August::
Lori's Journal It has been quite a while since I have last written anything in this journal about my feiens. Yes, since I have last written, I have gain two more in my possession. I must be going crazy. But it's still fun, even though my time seems to be less and less available.
Shux appears to be upset with me for getting Rislin and Semella. How could I deny two feiens who needed homes? Plus, it's about time she get over this need to be alone. At times she spends far too much time by herself for my liking. This way I know she is fine when I am too busy. I have no doubt that she will forgive me in time.
Semella is definitely interesting in her own way. She seems sad. Probably because of Shux. I should have a talk with Shux and tell her to bring Semella to the shop to meet some others. I think Semella would enjoy meeting some other feiens for the time being while she gets readjusted to life once more. Maybe a talk with Julius would make her feel better. She still hasn’t worn the clothes he had given her. I wonder if she hates them.
The bloom appears fine as well. I brought it along with me when I last worked, to at least let it know that I was it's true bond. Nothing appeared to affect it while I worked. Nothing out of the ordinary that is. It shook whenever I would go to the freezer and floated calmly in a bowl of water. No clues on what it’s element is.

: biggrin ay 83 ~ 10 August::'Xaria, you really should spend more time with Semella. I think you’re stressing her out by not talking with her more often.' Currently on hands and knees in the garden patch, Lori pulled out a weed growing far too attached to her favourite iris plant.
Shux snorted in response. Who was this human to demand orders when said human didn’t even respect the feien enough to not get more feiens? Bending down, Shux grabbed a clump of dirt and crushed it in her hand. 'Am I to keep her entertained all the time?'
'I didn't say that. Just accept the life I have no given you and get over it already.' Lori moved onto another spot, digging up more weeds.
The black feien kicked the dirt a bit. This is hopeless. She doesn’t care about what -I- want. 'Fine, I’ll go…talk to her.' she finished sulking. Lori's back turned to the feien did not see Shux' attempts for pity. Disappointed, Shux made her way back into the house and begin the horror of properly getting to know the new feien.

::10 August cont.::Chapter Five
Even though it was noon on a summer‘s day, clouds covered the blue sky hiding the sun from view. Leading the way, Shux held Elonas under her right arm and scratched his chin. The house suffocated her, therefore she decided at talk with Semella would be best during a walk.
Semella kept in pace with Shux, wondering why the sudden urge to spend sometime with her. Was something wrong? Her fingernails clicked, slowly getting on Elonas' nerves, but she could not help hiding her nervousness. 'Umm…did you have something in mind to discuss?' her golden eyes continued to not meet Shux’ scarlet ones.
'Lori demanded that I should get to know you. Figure she might be right after all.' the black feien replied nonchalantly.
'Oh. Well, I guess that’s alright. How long have you been with Valora?' Semella thought she should take advantage of the moment with Shux, not knowing if this opportunity would ever arise again.
'A bit over two months. She got Elonas for me shortly after I was born to keep me company while she worked. Apparently she didn't believe he was good enough.' Shux ended bitterly.
'Oh, so you are mad at me for being here.'
'I’m upset with the situation. I didn’t think Lori would want more feiens. I was wrong. Too late to change this now.'
'True. So, you don't socialize with other feiens at all?'
'I do at times. Usually with Arith. She's the closest of all feiens to me. I don't know what I would do without her. Probably seclude myself more. She's so happy all the time. When I'm around her, I don't feel so lonely or upset. She's great with cheering up.' Shux smiled at the thought of Arith, even though the two have no spoken in a long while.
Semella noticed this smile. She had yet seen Shux show any sign of happiness around her. 'She sounds nice. I'm glad you have someone so sweet to spend time with. If anyone can make you happy, she must be a great feien.'
Shux nodded and decided to ask her a question in return. 'How come you don't wear those clothes that Julius gave to you on the night of your rebirth?'
Semella stopped suddenly. Shux did not realize this for a few steps. When she did, the feien turned and watched her flat mate think of the question.
'I can’t seem to put them on. I know they are mine. Why else would he give them to me? But I can't help feeling like they aren't mine. I don’t remember the feien who wore those clothes. Am I to repeat that life?'
Shux reached a hand to her head. It didn't feel to well. She lost hold of Elonas, who landed on his feet smoothly despite being dropped. Collapsing on all fours, Shux' breathing quickened. Semella ran to her, bending at her side, brushing her hair out of her face. 'Wh…what's wrong?' she stuttered.
Not able to respond, Shux began to moan from the discomfort. Her limbs began to lengthen. Her tan body developed into a more womanly figure. The results revealed Shux in her new adult form. After a few last pants before her breath settled, the feien positioned her feet underneath her and stood with more than twice her original height. Semella no longer appeared as looming, although the ancient was still much, much taller.
Semella stood in awe, speechless at what she just witnessed.
Shux held her hands in front of her, stretching them since they were sore from the sudden burst of growth. She noticed Semella’s golden eyes staring straight into her scarlet ones. 'That was unexpected.’'

: biggrin ay 84 ~ 11 August::Shux' Journal Shock. Confusion. Panic. I never thought growing would ever have that effect on me. But now that I think of it, I don’t believe I ever thought about my turning into an adult. Still fascinating all the same. I’m definitely glad I only have to survive that once. I don’t think I would enjoy doing that once more. The loss of control over my body brought fear and anxiety I’ve never felt before. I wonder if others experience it the same way.
Now that I’ve grown, I realized how tall Semella really is. Speaking of her, after out little chat she appears to be someone worth getting to know. It’s depressing how she feels about the loss of her previous life. At least she does not remember how she died. Coming back to this worlds and remember that feeling…who knows what affect that can do to a being.
I wonder if Arith has grown yet. She isn’t much younger than I. If she hasn’t, I hope she will soon. I’m excited to show her my new self. I wonder what she would say. Hopefully something good.

'Could you please not do that?'
'Hmm? Do what?'
'You could drop it.’
'Why do you have no faith in my new abilities?’
Semella huffed and shifted in her spot. Shux’ disregard for the health of the feien bloom continued to aggravate the ancient feien. 'Please stop.’
What exactly that was upsetting Semella currently floated in between the two feiens. With a new ability, Magic Hand, Shux tested it out on the feien bloom, which floated around doing twists and turns. Shux sighed heavily and slowly let the bloom float to the floor.
However, the moment the bloom reached solid ground it began to shiver oddly. Shux eyed the bloom curiously and started counting the days they’ve had the bloom in their care.
'What did -you- do to it?’ Semella scolded after seeing the odd change in the bloom. She was more likely to notice it, since the bloom mostly stayed in her care since her arrival to the household.
’Why must -I- be blamed for everything? Maybe it’s just hatching.’ the black marked feien responded bitterly. She made her way to sit at the bloom’s side.
Semella followed suit to the opposing side of the bloom. 'Hatching?’
'Mmm.’ Shux nodded. ’It seems like a good time.’
Out of nowhere, a tiny hand popped out of the center of the holly leaf. It reached for the side just as another hand popped out. Semella watched in awe while Shux had a look of dumbfoundment across her own. Just as quickly as the hands appeared, they pulled the rest of the body out from the center. As a result, the newborn feien spilled out into Shux’ lap causing both feiens to fall backwards. Semella busted out laughing at the scene that laid before her.
The new feien shook her head softly and looked up into Shux’ face. Shux returned a look of shock. ’If you would, could you kindly get off me?’
'Oh, sorry.’ the violet feien said softly. She adjusted herself off of Shux and brushed her black and white hair out of her jet black eyes.
'It’s alright. Just unexpected. I’ve never seen a blooming. Closest would be Sem’s rebirthing.’ Shux dusted herself off and stood up straight.
Semella bent down and helped Rislin to her own feet. 'I’m just glad you’re fine. Or at least appear to be.’ she gave Shux the tiniest of glares.
'I think I’m fine.’ Rislin stared at her feet, a feeling of information overload wafting over her. ’ whoa re you? Where am I?’ her tiny eyes blinked around.
'This…’ Shux’ waving hand referring to the room, 'is my room. However, this entire house belongs to our human bond, Lori. She also happens to be your own.’ Semella nodded in agreement.
But their conversation was cut short by a excited, but piercing, scream coming from the said human upon seeing her new feien.

: biggrin ay 86 ~ 13 August::Shux' Journal Rizzy has been adjusting well since her arrival. Although, I believe she sensed my dislike of more feiens to be around. I say this because she’s attached to Sem unlike she is to me. Hopefully, this will end. I feel slightly bad that I has a negative affect on her. Typical, my horrid personality would rub off on others.
Other than that, she’s doing well. I think she is getting ansy. She stares out the window a lot when let to herself. I’ll have to chat with Lori about Sem and I taking her out for a bit.
