Dragain had picked up Karimaru, and is now heading home with Ingina. The load on her arms were heavy, and Dragain was huffing and puffing as she entered the house.
She climbed up the stairs slowly and placed Ingina and Karimaru on the bed. She heaved a sigh of relief and fell on the bed too. "Ah...." She said, "I'm in heaven..." At that moment, Ingina decided to pounce on Dragain, causing her to scream. Karimaru shook his head and sighed.
Dragain sat up, and started to giggle. Ingina followed suit, and soon even the serious Karimaru is smiling. Dragain climbed off bed and streched. "I'm off to prepare dinner... Karimaru, take care of your sister!" He nodded, and reasured Dragain. She nodded back and left the room.
Ingina and Karimaru then began to chat. Ingina with her unsure speech and Karimaru with his confident flow of words. It was half an hour when Dragain returned. She smiled with she saw the two children happily chatting away. She had brought dinner up, and she placed the dishes on a table.
The family ate in a comfortable silence, after while Ingina and Karimaru had fallen asleep. Dragain carefully transported them onto their seperate beds and cleared the dishes, softly whistling a tune.
She came up an hour later, and checked on Ingina and Karimaru, giving each of them a peck on the cheek. Then, she went to sleep too.

Dragain walked in, carring Ingina in one arm and Karimaru in another. He had insisted on taging along. Ingina wanted to show off her smart brother, and so had been delighted when Dragain had finally agreed.
Dragain sat down on the couch, and placed the kids on the ground. She smiled to herself and hoped that someone would turn up soon.
~
Turel bounded in upon the back of his sarning mount, cheering & giggling as his mother raced in after him, skidding to a halt. Kohenkyo collapsed onto the floor & glowered up at Turel.
"What have I told you about careering off like that!?" She scolded, wagging her finger at him. Turel grinned & slid off of Korothiir as the sarnin lay down on the floor.
"Sorry Mama...wont do again." He replied with a giggle. He looked around & saw Ingina. His eyes lit up & he waddled his way over, scrambling up to sit beside her.
"Hi Ingeena!" He smiled, flapping his wings in greeting.
"Hi there dragain." Kohenkyo waved & slumped on the floor, obviously worn out.
~
Dragain smiled, and replied happily. "Hiya! You look worn out, Ko!" Dragain smiled and nodded at Turel. "How are you today Turel?"
Ingina grinned at Turel and pointed proudly at Karimaru. "This Karimaru. Me brother!" She said happily. Karimaru was looking at Korothiir with curious eyes. "Hello Turel. Ingina say lots about you." Karimaru said, his speech almost perfect from hours of practise.
~
Turel looked up at Karimaru & grinned.
"Salutations!" Turel giggled & held out a wing. Turel canted his head to one side.
"Ingeena says lots about me?" He enquired curiously, slipping a chocolate button into Ingina's hand craftily. Melanie had sneaked them into his pocket afore he & his mother had left.
Kohenkyo huffed.
"Turel's a demon when he & Korothiir get together!" She giggled.
~
Ivy led Kayin in by the hand, he'd been saying how he wanted to go to the HQ more, and Ivy just hadn't had the time recently. She'd finally opened up her own photo shop and found a new edition for the family, one Kayin was not pleased with. Upon seeing Dragain and Kohenkyo, Ivy let out a sigh of relief, this would mean that Kayin would have someone to play with while she took a breather.
Kayin toddled over to where Ingina, Turel, and Korothiir were. There was someone else with them but he didn't know who it was. At least it was a boy, not an icky girl like his new sister Daliah. Ingina was a girl, but she was different, he didn't mind her so much. Reaching them, he gave them all a curt nod and a quick, "Heylo."
~
Turel giggled & reached out a hand to Kayin.
"Hi Kayen! Come sit." Turel smiled.
~
Kayin took Turel's hand and sat down next to him and Korothiir. Patting the creature once for habit, Kayin murmured, "Hi Korotheer." And proceeded to gently pet him.
~
Dragain waved to Ivy and said a quick hi. Dragain turned to Ko and laughed. "I see..."
Ingina nodded to Kayin and said "Hello." Karimaru gave him a smile and gave him a greeting too. "You must be Kayin. Hello. You may call me Karimaru."
He reached out to tounched Turel's wing and smiled at him with a nod. "Thank you. Yes, Ingina says you've been a good friend." Ingina smiled, but felt left out. She has been surrounded by boys... Again. She sighed softly and ate the chocolate Turel had given her.
~
Turel slipped another button, this time to Kayin. Korothiir was enjoying attention from Kayin greatly as per usual & whickered his appereciation.
Turel looked at Ingina.
"You kay Ingeena?" He asked quietly, passing a button to Karimaru , using his wing as a sort of cover to hide what he was doing.
Kohenkyo smiled at Ivy & waved.
"Hello there." The dragonwolf greeted her fellow parent.
~
Kayin nodded at Ingina's brother as his form of greeting. "Heylo." But he looked over to Ingina who seemed to be a little out of it. He wondered wether she was okay and thought maybe he should convice Keith to help him get her another shiny. He took the button of chocolate from Turel and nodded his appreciation, "Thnk You."
"How's it?" Ivy asked Dragain and Kohenkyo before sitting down. One thing she loved, no more than seeing her son happy, but it was nice to get out and see other woman sometimes.
~
Ingina smiled and shook her head. "Nope." She whispered. Then, she gave Korothiir a pat on his head, and stoked his fur. Karimaru glaced sideways, and gave Korothiir a pat on the head too. He liked this beautiful beast.
Dragain lokked at the children playing, and interacting and could not help but smile. "Ivy, I wished to buy a slot from your shop, but was too late." Dragain said.
~
"You sure?" Kayin piped out. He didn't want to say that Ingina was lying but he wanted to be sure she was okay. It was a silly circle he thought but kept that to himself.
"Ah, don't sweat it, I've nearly got Pavement's photo developed all the way and then I'll probably take 3 orders, so I'm sure you'll get in there this next time around." she smiled at the other woman.
~
"Yes." Ingina said smiling. She smiled at Kayin and nodded. Karimaru edged away from the two friends. He need to have sometime alone for a while. Ingina noticed that her brother was moving away but made no move to stop him. She knew that he sometimes do that.
Dragain smiled back and said,"Okay then... I'll be there!"
~
Kayin watched as Karimaru left them slightly. Just as well, he thought, he was more comfortable just talking to Ingina. He looked down at the ground and wondered if she's be offended by what he'd say. "I got a new sister..." he said rather dejectedly.
"I look forward to it. I'm sure it'll be really fun to take Ingina's picture."
~
"I'm looking forward to it..." Dragain said happily. "So, how has Kayin been?"
Ingina blinked in confusion. "You have sister?" She asked. "May I meet her?" Ingina wondered why he had never mentioned about her before. She waited with patience, hoping for an answer soon.
~
Kayin, remembering that Ingina didn't know about his family at all, mumbled, "two of 'em..." and stared at the ground. He wanted to tell Ingina about how he didn't like them especially cause they were girls, but that would seem unfair to her seeing as how he liked her just fine. "Mamma may bring them..." he said, well she would now if he asked her to.
Yawning, Ivy stretched tall and arched her back. "I cant' get over how cute they are when they just sit there and talk."
~
Ingina rose an eye-brow, and felt Kayin's thought across her mind. "Kayin no like girls?" She asked, curious to know. "I want to meet your sisters." Ingina was scooped up by Dragain at that point of time. Karimaru was also lifted up into Dragain's arms. Ingina pouted, and squrimed.
Dragain smiled, and said, "Yep, I agree with you... They are cute! Sorry, but I have to go back now... Cya!" She walked out of the HQ, with Ingina waving madly at Kayin, and blowing him goodbye kisses. "Bye bye!"

Dragain creeped into the house, glancing left and right carefully before walking in. Behind her is a beautiful creature that resembles a foal. It is in fact, a female Machingal. Dragain was also carrying something in her folded arms. A grey egg that looks much like a stone. Dragain had already named it Koritual.
"Come on in Rina..." Dragain whispered to the Machingal, making sure not to wake the kids. "I'll led you to your room." Tip-toeing, she led the curious Rina into a brightly lit room with light green walls, and a grass green carpet. A bed of hay is in the left corner of the room, and an indoor flower bed gave off a sweet smell.
"Here is your room, Rina." Dragain smiled warmly. "Have an early night. I'll bright you your breakfast tomorrow morning." Dragain turned and headed for the door, and stopped in her tracks. She turned around and giggled. "Don't let Ingina and karimaru see you, okay?"
Dragain dimmed the lights and closed the door behind her. "Now for you, my dear Koritual..." She entered another room, a contrast to the previous room. This room is dimly lit, with grey walls and a grey soft carpeted floor. Dragain placed the dark grey egg on a stone stand and it seems to blend right in.
"There, there," Dragain mused, "Here's your room. I hope you like it gloomy!" With that, she left the room and headed towards her own room, where the kids are proberbly deep asleep. She gave a yawn, and flopped on her bed, falling asleep instantly.

I was woken up by Ingina and Karimaru. They poked me until I decided to wake up. It's a pretty good idea as I do not like being poked. It must be that Karimaru's idea again. He's getting too smart for his own good.
I rubbed my eyes sleepily as they stared at me. Karimaru gave me a "there is something going on in your mind" look but I ignored it. Acting normal, I went to prepare breakfast. When I was out of their range, I gave a sigh of relief. I prepared three egg sandwiches and three glasses of fresh milk for us and carried them back to the bedroom on a tray.
Karimaru kept staring at me while eating, and Ingina just stuffed herself. I tried to ignore Karimaru's stare, but gave up. I told them that I got a surprice for them and watched as Karimaru gave himself a soft cheer of triumph. I smiled slightly as we finished breakfast. The kids are going to get a good shock when they see what I had for them...
Karimaru hid his feelings well, but Ingina giggled away when I showed them Rina. Rina was all shy, and only came out to meet them after much prompting from me. Ingina wrapped her arms around the machingal's neck and Rina gave her a warm nuzzle. Karimaru stroked the mane and gave Rina two pats on her head before giving her a quick hug, showing that he likes her.
Ingina gave Rina a kiss on her forehead and whispered her name. "Rina..."

Nowadays, Rina followed Ingina wherever she goes. To the bath, the garden, the playroom... Only at night when it's time for bed after Rina give Ingina and Karimaru both a nuzzle and a contented neigh do she retreat back to her own room. Ingina loves Rina very much, and plays with her the most.
It was night, and normally Dragain would put all the children and pets to sleep. For tonight, she had decided to take Ingina to the church. It was time she brought her there, and maybe learn abit about her past and her powers. Dragain wrapped a scarf around her neck, and also one for Ingina. Dragain helped Ingina put on a coat. After which they headed off for the nearby church.
It was a cold night but when we stepped into the chruch, they warmed up immediately and Dragain sat down on one of the benches with Ingina beside her. I closed my eyes and clasped my hands in slient prayer. Dragain might be a free thinker, but she respect all religions and believes. Anyway, she had been to church once with a friend, and the warm building is really welcoming.
Dragain opened her eyes to see Ingina mimicking her, eyes closed and hands together in prayer. She smiled and watched as Ingina slowly opened her eyes. "Mama, me heard lots of voices in head..." Ingina whispered. "They were calm and they sound so wonderful!" Dragain was about to ask Ingina what she was talking about when Dragain heard a voice from behind her.
"Hello, I haven't seen you around before." Dragain turned around to see a man well into her fifties with a smile on his face and happy twinkling eyes. "Hello father." Dragain greeted with respect. Ingina peered out from behind me and did the same. "Ah... That's a beautiful child you have there." He said. "Care to let me take a closer look?" Dragain nodded and carried Ingina over. He smiled at Ingina who smiled back. "She's a special one..." He said and handed her a gift. "Here you go... A symbol of peace and tranquillity." The gift is a keychain made of snow white fur, soft to the touch.
Ingina gave thanks and gave Dragain the keychain for safe keeping. "We have to take our leave, Father." Dragain said as Ingina yawned. "Thank you for you gift." With that, Dragain left the church with Ingina asleep in her arms. Realising that when in prayer, Ingina can hear the voices of angels...

~Meeting Dante And Mya~
Ingina pulled Dragain into the HQ, giggling as she went. "Okay!" Dragain yelled as the excited young girl tugged her in. "I give in, I give in!" She laughed as she walked in and flopped on the couch.
Ingina planted herself on the soft map. "I hope someone come." She said as she stared at the door.
~
Smilling widely, Mya was taking a stroll around town with the newest aquisition of her growing family. Carrying the little Dante on her arms, she laughed as the baby played with a small red yarn ball, getting the line all wrapped around her hands. "My little cutey..." Mya mumbled, petting her locks distractedly. When she caught up with herself, looking around to see where she was, she noticed the TOR headquarters, where she had once gone with Thayla by mistake. Considering it for a minute, stopping in front of the entrance, a light dawned on Mya's mind. "Of course! You're one of them!" she cried out, laughing.
Dante, despite not seeing Mya, since she only could feel the general contours, turned to her puzzled, finding it rather strange for her to be laughing at nothing. Still, she started giggling with her as well, contagious laughter.
"Hello?" Mya asked as she stepped inside, spotting Dragain and Ingina. "Hi! I remember you from when I came here before!" she said, grinning.
~
"Hiya!" Dragain said cheerfully. "You're Myanai right? Care to introduce the cute child?" Dragain patted the seat beside her and ask Myanai to take a seat. Dragain smiled at the young one and nodded at Ingina. "This is Ingina... You've met right?"
Ingina waved to the new kid and gave a little cheer. "Hello!"
~
Mya sat besides Dragain and smilled, seating Dante on one of her knees. She nodded, waving sweetly to Ingina before turning again to her caretaker. "Yeah, we did... This little girl here is Dante. Ain't she a sweet?" Mya was visibly proud of her little ToR. She played with one of the baby's blue dreadlocks with one of her hands, while holding her with the other.
Dante wasn't quite enjoying the attention though. Quickly returning to her awkwardly serious demeanor when she faced strangers, she could sense one big woman, like her mommy, on the room, and a small girl, like her, who had just greeted her. Starting to play again with the ball, she only turned her head to Ingina, not even letting out a squeak.
~
Dragain smiled and agreed. "Dante is a beautiful girl. I like her blue hair..." Dragain looked at Ingina and sat her on her lap. "So, Ingina was quite delighted when she saw Dante... She likes making friends."
Ingina looked at the one named Dante. Why is she ignoring me? Ingina extented out a hand, smiling and hoping for a handshake of friendship.
~
"Well, I'm not sure if Dante is the friendly kind... She opened up to me pretty fast, as she did to my animal creatures, per say. Now, to the others... Kinda strange reactions, like she doesn't trust them. So I hope Ingina isn't crossed with her, a more... secluded type I guess..." Mya said, sighing, as she watched Dante's reactions. "Come on, don't be shy..."
Shy? Dante wasn't shy. She simply disliked being around people she didn't know. New environments are always rather threatning to blinds, even when, on Dante's case, they can have a small perception of their surroundings despite their disabbility. Sensing Ingina's hand vaguely, she took the yarn out of her little fingers carefully and slowly reached out for her, though missing her hand. It was harder with smaller things to know where they were precisely. And it did bother Dante, even though she didn't show it on the outside.
~
Ingina grabbed Dante's hand and gave it a friendly and warm handshake. "Hello again, Dan-te." Ingina chirped happily. She had a reading of Dante's mind for a second, and knew what was happening. She slowly lead Dante's hand to her feathered wings. "Have a touch!"
Dragain smiled slightly as she looked at the interation between the two girls.
~
A faint smiled showed as Dante touched Ingina's feathers. They were really soft, and larger then hers. Even though tempted to take one feather, she didn't, remembering when a nosy Sorai, one of Mya's pets, pulled one off of hers by mistake. And it had indeed hurt. She remembered she had to revenge herself sometime... Rather unsure of what to do, Dante raised her hand to touch her face, to have a better impression of what Ingina looked like.
~
Ingina stayed still as Dante touched her face, still smiling although she feels all nervous inside. Ingina giggled as she found it quite ticklish, and bit her tough to stop herself from laughing out loud.
"Ingina is ticklish..." Dragain explined as Ingina giggled. "She loves it well she's being tickled, although she is petty and gets angry quite quickly."
~
Her skin was smooth, unlike some of her new found family members', and, from what Dante recollected, she was pretty too. Ingina appeared to be nice, maybe they could be friends. Just maybe. Without turning away, Dante reached again for the half unmade yarn ball and searched for the tip, taking her time. Still, already used to doing this, she tried remaking the ball as it once was, round, though failing horribly.
"I see. I think Dante doesn't boil in too much water too, she almost bit my boyfriend's fingers off of his hands, and would have she had any tooth." Mya recalled, laughing.
~
Ingina smiled. This girl, Dante, is nice. Maybe she just doesn't show it. Ingina watched Dante, wondering what she was doing. She seemed so hard at concentration that Ingina did not want to disturb her. Ingina turned and whispered something to Dragain and turned back towards Dante.
Dragain smiled fondly. Ingina had learnt how to respect others, although she still has that short temper. Dragain reached into her pocket and took out a key-chain. It's white in colour and is as soft as snow as it is made of fur. It's a special key-chain that Ingina had received from a priest at church. She handed it to Ingina who held it out for Dante. "Dante, I have present for you."
~
Realizing what Dante was trying to do, Mya smiled. "Here, let me have it..." she whispered softly to her, taking the undone yarn and starting to roll into a ball once again.
Attracted by Ingina, Dante tilted her head lightly, feeling the vibrations of something she was holding in her hand. Reaching out for it, she smiled like before, her face lighting up slightly. It was so soft, like hair, only shorter and softer. Taking it carefully, she felt the cold chain and twirled it around her fingers, pleased. She nodded to Ingina, her way of saying thank you since she didn't speak yet.
~
Dragain looked at her watch and gave a little cry. "Oh no! Ingina, we're late! Karimaru will kill me." Dragain said, in a state of panic. "He's Ingina's older brother."
Ingina handed the key-chain over and smiled. "Bye. Hope to see you again!" Ingina said and waved. "Hope you like gift." Dragain scooped her up and headed for the door. "Cya Mya! You too Dante."

Dragain and Ingina came into the HQ with a food basket. They were hoping to have lunch in the HQ as Karimaru had insisted on coming with them. Rina had also tagged along, her curious eyes darting around the room.
Ingina and her brother walked in hand in hand, with Ingina pulling him in. Rina, being a shy Machingal, hid behind Ingina as they went in.
~
"Yawn..." Mya clamped one of her hands over her mouth, trying to hide her drowsyness. Dante had barely let her sleep all night, keeping her awake just for fun purposes. "Next time you don't have an afternoon nap..." she moaned to the little ToR craddled on her arms. "Here we are... Hi Dragain..." Mya greeted as she went in the HQ, not seeing either Kimaru or the Machingal as she plopped on one of the chairs.
Dante sighed. Back to the annoyingly unknown place. At least Ingina was there, so she'd continue to analyse her as a way of entertainning herself...
~
"Hiya Mya..." Dragain said and added as she saw the state Mya was in. "What kept you awake last night?" Dragain smiled slightly and took out a flask of coffee from the basket. "Do you drink coffee? It isn't hot, but as least it'll keep you awake for a while."
Ingina waked to Dante and said a "hello". Karimaru just nodded and smiled. Rina trotted over to Dante and nuzzled her hand, making a happy neighing noise. "This Rina, and," Ingina said patting Karimaru on the back, "my brother Karimaru."
~
"Huh? Oh, thanks. You wouldn't happen to have a bit of sugar, no? It's no big deal if you don't, no worries..." Mya asked, nodding. She could sure use something to keep her awake and more alert to Dante, at least for now.
Dante waved to Ingina, sensing Karimaru besides her. The soft nuzzling of Rina felt welcome, immediatly starting to touch the Machingal as she had done to Ingina's face before, while her head kept turned to the other ToR.
~
"Yes, I do have sugar if it pleases you..." Dragain nodded, smiling. She poured a cup of coffee out and added some sugar to it. "Here you go." Dragain said as she gave Mya the cup of coffee. "So... What's bugging you at night?"
Ingina looked as Dante touched Rina's face. Rina didn't move much, though she like the way this girl's fingers move about her face. Karimaru did not said anything but sat quietly at a side, deep in thought. Rina neighed softly and cheerfully, her tail whishing from side to side in a slow motion.
~
"Thanks." Mya said, taking the coffee. Taking a sip to savour it, she felt the warm drink go down her throat. Aaaah, that was welcoming... "This little girl here turned out rather hyper and kept me up all night with her. I had to play with her so she'd get tired and went to sleep. And when she finally did go to sleep, I got an insomnia going... Two days straight now..."
Dante liked Rina, finding her little horns amusing. She stroked her head carefully now, her little smile appearing on her face. "Soft..." Dante muttered to Ingina, wondering about what Karimaru was doing, staying so still.
~
Dragain burst out laughing, slowly being replaced by slow hiccups. "I'm sorry for the sudden outburst," Dragain said inbetween hiccups, "But I guess I'm not that keen on hyper kids either. I have to take Ingina out almost everyday to make sure she can fall asleep at night..."
Ingina agreed with a nod and a "Yes". Rina neighed happily and nuzzled her whole face in Dante's tiny hands. "Rina likes Dante." Ingina said. Karimaru looked up at Dragain and asked for a sandwich. Dragain gave it to him and also one to Ingina. A small bundle of hay was given to Rina to munch.
"Would you and Dante fancy anything to eat?" Dragain asked as she reached into the basket.
~
"Don't be sorry, it's funny once you think of it..." Mya said, smilling. She shook her head as Dragain offered food. "No, thanks, we ate before we came here. Kinda had to speed out of home before a war burst out though, but we'll hang on just fine till later..."
Dante, on the other hand, thought that, whatever they were eating, smelled good. Not that she was hungry or something, but she just felt like a little glutton at the moment...
~
Dragain nodded and smiled. She was glad that Mya did not take it against her laugh. "Well, are you sure you don't want a bite?" Dragain asked as she took her hand out of the basket. A sudden tug at her skirt made her look down at Ingina. "What's the matter, sweetie?"
Ingina asked for another sandwich. She can feel that Dante wanted one too, although Dante's Mom had said that they had eaten. She was handed another egg sandwich. Ingina gave thanks and offered it to Dante. "Dante want egg sandwich?"
~
"Yeah I'm sure." Mya answered, looking to Ingina come and go with the sandwich.
Dante didn't think twice, taking the sandwich from Ingina and giving it a large bite. She turned to Mya, flashing her a defiant grin. It tasted as good as it smelled, Dante earning a new favorite: Eggs.
"You won't get away with that missy..." Mya replied playfully to the little ToR, narrowing her double colored eyes. From all of the adoptees she had under her wing, Dante had quickly prooven to be the most challenging, already having wrecked havoc on the house.
~
Ingina giggled, knowing that Dante is actually going against her mother... Rina went over and laid down beside Ingina. She reached down and stroked Rina's mane, smiling away. Then, she finished her own sandwich and hand fed Rina some hay, which she quickly gobble up.
Dragain could not help but give a little cluckle when she saw the bond between mother and child. From the basket, she took out the coffee flask again and poured herself a cup of coffee with some sugar. "Want another cup of coffee, Mya?" She asked as she sipped and savour the rich taste of the coffee.
~

Dragain was invited to Style Manor by Ephemeral Style, to visit her. She agreed to it readily as Ingina wanted to know more about Seth, and she would also love to go and take a look at her house. It was a good oppotunity for Ingina to be in someone else's house and learn how to react.
Dragain had decided to walk there as it was a bright sunny day. Rina tagged along as well. She just couldn't help but follow Ingina everywhere she goes!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the visit, Ingina has warmed up to Seth, and actually likes him very much as a friend. She says that he's a gentleman, and is really just a kind boy with a hard front. She enjoyed the trip to his house, and wished that she could have stayed a little bit longer.

Dagain had bought a beautiful blue and sliver coloured book to become ingina's diary. For now, Dragain had decided to write down the daily happenings in here. This is so Ingina could read it when she's older and when she can read. The cover had been decorated with pictures of her family and glitter. The word 'Ingina' spread over the top in puffy, balloon letterings. Dragain held it up and smiled happily at her own work.
She unwarped a blue pen, the ink filled with sliver glitter that shined slightly. She tested the flow of the ink on a piece of waste paper and was satisfied with it. She turned to the second page of the book and started writing in cursive hand.
Dear Diary
This is the first ever entry of this diary. When Ingina can actually spell, I will hand this down to her. For now, she can learn to read from what I've written for her instead... Or maybe not. Some of the stuff writen here might be a little too difficult for her to understand anyway.
She met some new ToRs the other day. Vohu and Taiden. She is happy about Vohu, who seemed like a cute and happy little chap. However, she finds Taiden quite cold, and also nasty towards her. She dosen't hate him, but he isn't well-liked by her either.
Well, she also met up with some of her old friends the other day. Mainly Lorelei, and Mos. Ingina seemed to be getting along with Lorelei just fine, and the two girls are happy enough together. Ingina seemed to love Mos as a friend, and she liked Mary the lamb too. She said that Mos is a really silly-in-a-nice-sort-of-way kind of boy and makes her really happy by just watching him.
Ingina seems to miss Kayin alot with the sudden dissapearance of Ivy. Her relationship with Turel is making me worried, but I'm sure it'll all work out in the end. Turel is a nice boy, accvording to Ingina, although I can see that she's abit scared of him for some reason.

Dear diary,
My second entry involves a new addition to the family. Ingina's father which is also my long-time-no-see fiancee. He showed up just the other day without any warning and shocked me... His name is Saniiro Shojo and unlike me, he is a full-blooded demon, although a very gentle one.
Anyway, Ingina seemed to be adopting quite well to having a father. In fact, she seemed to be enjoying herself! However, I can't say the same for Saniiro who finds Ingina's questions difficult and awkward to answer. He is new at the whole father thing, but Ingina calls him father just fine. She seems quite happy to have a male parent, so I'm happy for her too...
I'm going to let Saniiro write in here too. He is Ingina's father, so he have to play a part in Ingina's infant days. Anyway, I told him to bring Ingina into the HQ one of these days so that he can familiar himself with bringing the children out. Of cause, he has to provide for the family too.

Diary
Well, Dragain seems pretty confident about me being a father for her kids, but I'm actually quite afraid of them... Or rather their questions. Anyway, this is my first entry in this diary. And to counter Dragain's words, I am not gentle, just quiet and reserved.
Today afternoon, I took Ingina to the HQ as Dragain wanted me to and I met a lovey lady, Mya, and her daughtar by the name of Dante. Ingina and her seems close, so I agreed to Ingina's request for a flight on Dante's pet griffin. Personally, I find her pet amusing.
So, they went on an enjoyable and long flight in the skies while Miss Mya and I had a chat in the HQ. Ingina clearly enjoyed herself as she was smiling and giggling when they had landed. AFterwards, I had a great time listening to her talk about the day's adventure. This father thing isn't so bad afterall.
Moreover, I'm pleased to say that Dragain praised me and we went out for dinner with the whole family that night. Ingina loved my motocycle, and that I am pleased for. Of cause, I had to buy a family car to fit everyone in, but it was worth the money.
Saniiro

HQ roleplay - Mos and Ingina
Playing Games ~ Warning: Long post Pavement Pave held Mos on her hip as she entered the HQ. Mos had insisted on bringing Mary with him. Mary bleated good-naturedly. Pave rand her hand through her hair and sat down on a chair to wait for someone. Mos was excited. He couldn't help it. The HQ excited him. He knew he was going to see someone fun today and he grinned happily. Mary chewed on his socks. Dragain Dragain entered the ToR HQ with Ingina on her back. She had wanted to get away from Karimaru and their father anyway. Dragain was delighted at seeing Pave and walked over with Ingina waving at Mos. "Hiya Pave!" She said as she sat down with Ingina on her lap. Pavement Pave looked up and smiled. "Hi Dragain." Mos looked up excitedly and, spotting Ingina waving, waved frantically too. He was glad to see someone he -sort of- recognized. Dragain Ingina climbed down from Dragain's lap and crawlled over to Mos. "Hello." She said smiling, "How you?" She looked at Mary and grinned, pointing to her. "Can I touch her?" She asked, as she looked at the lamb. She had never seen that before. Pavement Mos looked down at Mary and nodded. He wondered how Ingina would like a hug. "Hug?" He asked her excitedly. He liked hugs. "So how have you been, Dragain?" Pave asked. Dragain "Ah, I'm okay." Dragain said with a nod. "How are things going for you?" Ingina nodded happily. She went over and gave Mary a quick hug before turning to Mos with a grin. She then gave Mos a hug too. Pavement "Pretty good. Mos is getting more social." She smiled happily. "And I'm glad about that." Mos smiled and hugged Ingina back. She liked hugs too! Mary tried to chew up Mos's shorts and Mos giggled. Dragain Ingina giggled along with Mos. It was funny to see Mary trying to chew his shorts. She reached to give Mary a pat on its head. Dragain nodded, "Yep, it's great to see them interact..." Pavement Mos liked Ingina. She was nice and fun to be around. She didn't scream like Dante. She didn't have fun hair like Storm, but she had wings which was just as good. He reached out to touch one of the wings. It looked so soft. "Yeah. Plus I was worried about Mos being anti-social. It seems like a lot of the children are." Pave commented. "Mostly just because they have such bad punishments, though." Dragain Ingina wriggled her wings playfully and smiled at Mos. She kind of like this boy. He's fun and hugged her too. She like hugs cause it brings everyone together. Dragain nodded again, agreeing with Pave. "Yes, it's quite sad though. About the children's past..." Pavement Mos felt the silky wing under his finger and sighed. Soft things were his favorite. He stroked it again. The feathers moved gently under his touch. "Poor kids." Pave said sadly. "I'd hate to think what growing up will be." She shrugged. "But what can you do, I suppose." Dragain Ingina giggled and looked at her Mama, who seemed to be talking with Mos's Mama. She grinned and took out a packet of chocolate chips cookies from her pocket. She opened it and offered a cookie to Mos. Pavement Mos held out his hand carefully. She wanted him to eat a cookie, right? He took one of the cookies gently and put it to his mouth. The chocolate smell drifted into his nose and he sighed. Taking a little bite of it, a large smile was plastered across his face. This was delicious. Dragain "Mama doesn't know i took it." Ingina whispered, "But I know she doesn't mind..." She nibbled on her own cookie and smiled. She likes cookies and could never get enough of chocolate either. Pavement Mos took another bite. He carefully sectioned out his bites, just to make sure it would last. He let the cookie melt in his mouth and the grin never left his face. He whispered something very quietly. He repeated it again louder, just in case Ingina would like to hear. "Fisxo!" He smiled at his own knowledge and continued to eat the cookie. Dragain Ingina gave her own cookie anothe bite before asking, "What's Fisxo?" She had never head that word before. Pavement Mos thought hard. He didn't know what Fisxo meant. He shrugged. Pave had taught him the word. He repeated the sentence she had taught him. "Mi voli mi voli mi estis a fisxo." He nodded decisively. He couldn't actually understand most of what his mother taught him, but it sounded good enough, so he accepted it. Dragain Ingina clapped in delight. Those words sound so different to what Dragain had taught her. She offered him another cookie with a smile, wondering if he will say some nice sounding words again. Pavement Mos took the cookie and searched around in his mind for another fun phrase. He thought hard, but then a sentence that Pave always said came to mind. He grinned and let loose a string of osbcene words and expressions. Pave's mouth dropped open. Dragain Ingina could hardly understand what Mos had just said, but she caught a few words that Dragain had used before. She chewed on the cookie and gave a giggle, "Mama funny when she say some of those words." Dragain looked at Pave, then turned to look at Mos with an amused expression. She laughed and said, "It's a good thing they don't understand what they mean, eh?" Pavement Mos nodded. "Pave!" He giggled. His mother was always very entertaining when she used those words too. He took a big bite of cookie and grinned at Ingina. "Hehe, yeah." Pave said worriedly. "I think he doesn't understand those words. Then again, I didn't know he knew them." She laughed nervously. Dragain Ingina nodded back. Were all Mamas the same? That thought made her giggle, and she finished her cookie. She reached into the packet and pulled out two last cookies. Handling one over to mos, she kep the other one for herself. Dragain replied, "Maybe he remembered how they sounded?" Hopefully, Mos did not know what those words meant. Pavement Mos took the cookie and carefully bit into it. Ingina was very nice, and they had a lot in common. He grinned at her, a little bit of chocolate chip obscuring his teeth. Pave nodded. "Monkey see monkey do." She replied, shrugging. Dragain Ingina grinned back. Mos isn't that bad after all. In fact, he's nice and silly in a good way. He makes her laugh and be happy. She chewed on the cookie, hoping to make it last. Dragain smiled, "I guess." Pavement Mos let the chocolatey silence sink in. He thought about what Ingina was like. He wondered if she'd like his feathery bobby as much as he did. He rooted around in his pocket for it. Pave nodded again. "At least he's not saying that in front of everybody who crosses his path." She grinned. Dragain Ingina looked at Mos. He looked like he's searching for something. She cocked her head to one side but continued to chew on the cookie in her mouth. She wanted it to last for at least a while more. "Yes..." Dragain said thoughtfully, "I do wonder what will happen if he did though." She let out a light laugh and looked at Mos. Pavement Mos pulled it out and held it up triumphantly. "Luma gramo." He held the feathery ball out to Ingina. "Angxelo devi havi Luma gramo." He pushed it forward to her. He wanted her to take the feathery little ball that he liked. It almost matched her wings. Pave laughed. "I don't know. But nobody could hurt an innocent child, could they?" She glanced at Mos and giggled. Dragain "Thank you." Ingina said with much difficulty before taking the thing Mos held in his hand. She giggled at the feel of this little ball. It felt like when she is touching her wings! She smiled happily at Mos and reached into her pocket, trying to find a gift for him. Dragain glanced at Mos and Ingina, and gave a cluckle. "Nope, I guess not!" Pavement Mos smiled and nodded. He knew she'd like the feathery toy. Pave smiled. "I'm just hoping he stops talking like that when he's older." Dragain She produced a key-ring from her pocket and gave it to mos with a smile. She had lots of them at home, each one different and with their own uniqueness. "For you!" She said, "Like it?" She grinned and pocketed Mos' gift. The key-ring is a weird symbol... It's up to you to interprate what this symbol means. Pavement Mos took the key ring gently and grinned. "Thanks!" He looked carefully at the symbol. "Very nice." He nodded and slipped the ring inside his vest pocket. Dragain Ingina grinned and nodded happily, glad that he had liked her present. She pushed back her hair so that it rests behind her ears and stared at Mos, finding nothing better to do. Pavement Mos held up his hands and smiled. "Kuko?" He wanted to teach Ingina to play patty-cake if she could learn. Dragain "Kuko?" Ingina replied with a puzzled tone. She held up her hands and miniced the way Mos held his up. "What's Kuko?" She asked and tilted her head, her face in a slight frown. Pavement "Kuko!" Mos giggled. He pushed his palms against Ingina's and then pulled away again. He clapped his hands and repeated the motions, push, pull, clap. "Is kuko." He nodded. Dragain Ingina giggled and followed Mos' 'push, pull, clap' action. Her hands, when came in contact with Mos' hands, made a soft clapping sound. "Kuko fun!" Ingina said happily, "A kind of play?" Pavement Mos nodded. "Play kuko." He repeated the motions, taking a sort of comfort in the repetitiveness. "Storm play kuko too." He commented. "You like Storm?" He knew that Dante didn't like Storm, but he was not sure of Ingina's feelings toward his best friend. Dragain Ingina played 'Kudo' with Mos, and thought about his question. She remembered storm from quite sometime ago. "Storm is nice." Ingina commented with a nod, "But no talk much." Pavement Mos nodded. He knew that Storm had a tendency to stay quiet. "Storm is nice." He smiled brightly. He was glad that Ingina liked Storm. Dante didn't, and he wondered if she ever would. Dragain "What wrong with Dante?" Ingina asked, unable to control her own mouth. The question just came. She blushed and hung herr head. "Sorry..." Pavement Mos looked up. "Dante is not liking Storm." He scowled a little. Not noticing her apology, he stared down at his hands for a while. Dragain "Me sorry Mos..." Ingina said sadly. "Me not know..." She looked at Mos again, and sat down in front of him. "Mos angry?" Pavement Mos shook his head. "Not angry." He clapped his hands together slowly and looked back up at Ingina with a smile on his face. "Do you have games?" He thought that maybe she would have a game to play. Dragain Ingina smiled, relieved that Mos is not angry at her. She nodded in reply to Mos' question and asked, "Mos play Ka-boom?" She held out her hands and showed three symbols, scissors, paper and stone. "Use two hands." She said, trying her best to explain the game in her limited speech, "Then, choose one of the three symbols. Take turns to say boom and change symbol on hand. Other player can change when opponent changes, but no boom. If two symbol same, opponent loses that hand. Okay?" Pavement Mos attempted to accept all of this information. "Ka-boom with hands, not on boom." He nodded to reassure himself and held out his hands. "Okay!" He grinned. Dragain Ingina held out her hands too. "One, two..." She counted, "Three!" On three, she produced two symbols, paper and stone, and looked at Mos. Pavement Mos followed her counting and, on three, got a little muddled and just picked the easiest symbol he could think of, stone. He smiled up at her and held up his hand to show her the "stone". Dragain Ingina pouted and removed her "stone" hand, leving only her "paper" hand. She then looked at Mos, urging him to make his next move. Pavement Mos looked blankly at Ingina for a second. "Oh!" He grinned and held out his other hand in a "paper" symbol. He thought it would be easiest just to mimick her actions until he could decide for himself. Dragain Ingina pouted again, her reaction too slow to change her symbol in time. "Mos winner!" She said with a grin, "You good at game." She gave Mos a small packet of chocolate flavoured candy as a reward. She had stashed it away during one of Dragain's many shopping sprees. Dragain stood up and nodded to Pave, "I have to go now. It's about time the kids had their lunch. Bye!" She scooped Ingina up and headed for the door, with Ingina waving to Mos.

Dear Diary,
It had been a very long time since my last entry, and I will give you a summary of all the event that had occured in this long period of time, paragraph by paragraph. I hope that this will serve to remind how important family is.
My father, Gaiyo-Sama, paid a visit to the Storm residence during Thanksgiving, and left just recently, at the beginning of the New Year. He'll visit again during the Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year. I didn't realise how much I've missed him...
Ingina had enjoyed his company, and father has taken quite a fancy to her too. I'm happy to say that she had treasured their time together. I can see that she looks forward to father's return.
Secondly, I've given birth to a baby boy, Kenji. He is a demi-god, and I'm afraid that Saniiro's not his blood father. Despite this, Saniiro had forgiven me, and I'm really happy to say that Saniiro loves Kenji as much as I do.
Lastly, I'm preparing for Chinese New Year. I'm sure the kids will love the red packets I'll be giving them...
Dragain

A Nightmare
Ingina walked down a seemingly never ending road, with a row of tall, dark lampposts on each side of the path. They provided a sort of pale, yellow light. The rest of the road remained dark, and she can't see more than a metre in front of her. She was alone, and very frightened.
The pale light danced around her, making her feel tired and sleepy. However, she was searching for something, and she cannot stop. The child can't remember what it is she was looking for, just that it's something very important to her... Something that she can't do without. Rubbing her eyes, Ingina halted in her steps. There was a movement in front of her!
Gasping, she held her hands to her mouth. In front of her, she saw Turel's braised figure, laying motionlessly on the ground. Blood flowed from fresh wounds, and she gave a cry of pain. Running towards him, she realised that the more she ran, the further Turel became... Until he finally went out of sight.
Tears steamed down her pale face as she wept. She had to help him! Ingina rubbed away her tears with her arm, running forward to look for her friend.
Instead, she found someone else. Her mother, Dragain, laying on the roadside in a small puddle of blood. Saniiro was seated beside her, looking dishevelled and unkempt, something that made Ingina scared. Her father would never appear like that, not even when he had just woken up in the morning.
Suddenly, voice whispered from the shadows, hissing angrily at her, "You can't save them! Her friends, nor family! You're useless and helpless! You are of no help! Watch as they die, you helpless child!"
Ingina cupped her hands around her ears, but the voices continued to ring in her mind. She let out a scream as Saniiro turned to face her, blood dripping from his mouth and claw marks on his neck. Narrowing his eyes, the white haired male collapsed into the puddle of blood beside Dragain.
"Mother! Father! Wake up!" Ingina yelled, tears pouring from her red and swollen eyes. Her legs felt weak as the angry whispers continued taunting her, and she fell into a sobbing lump on the ground.
"Turel, where are you? Turel! Mother, father! Wake up!"
And she woke up, tears streaming down her face. She can't see a thing, and the darkness covered her like a blanket, as if in her nightmare. A man's taunting laughter rang in her ears, and several wounds on her chest gave her the same emotional pain as in her horrid dream. Sobbing, she hugged her knees to her body, and refused to go back to sleep.
