: biggrin ay 111 ~ 7 September::
‘How about this one?’ Lori questioned while holding up a pair of black pants with hoops and zippers randomly placed.
‘I like those. It fits your style.’ Rislin responded from the human’s shoulder. Out of the three feien Lori had bonded with, only the time one wished to join her on a shopping trip. This suited both parties fine since the two have hardly spent time alone.
Lori had decided it was time to replace her faded pants as the deep black they once had now gave off a lovely dirty gray look.
After her conversation with Ianios a few days back, Rislin realized her life at home was dull and didn’t fulfill her potential as a feien. Eventually, she would plan to venture out into the world, but for now a simple trip with her bond to the mall was pleasing enough for the time feien.
Looking thought the rack, Lori found her size and draped the pants carefully over her arm. She strolled down the aisle, stopping here and there to look at other items. Not paying attention to where she was going, the human ran into another solid form. Quickly regaining her footing, Lori looked up at what she had bumped into.
‘Sorry. I should be paying more attention.’
A man, roughly Lori’s age, chuckled at her apology. ‘Needn’t worry. Just open you eyes a bit more, eh?’
Lori blushed, feeling more stupid by the minute.
From the unexpected run in with the man, Rislin had been flung off Lori’s shoulder and landed softly in a nearby basket of scarves. The time feien tilted her head as she listened to the two converse.
The male stood only four inches or so taller than Lori. Golden locks with green tips that landed gracefully in his stunning baby blue eyes, it became no surprise to Rislin that her human bond begin to show signs of attraction to him.
Sadly, Lori could not google at the stranger for long since he excused himself politely and continued on his path. But this did not stop her from watching his back as it turned the corner.
‘Strange.’ She muttered, still in a gaze.
Rislin untangled herself from the scarves and reattached herself to the human’s shoulder. ‘What about?’
‘Why do I have this feeling as if I know him?'

 : biggrin ay 113 ~ 9 September::Rislin’s Journal I enjoy spending time with Lori. She’s fun and interesting. And when she talks with me, it’s as if we are equal. Never giving the impression she is somehow superior to me for being bigger in size.
Our recent trip together was to a clothing store. Seeing the outfits and styles in magazines was nothing in comparison to seeing them up close. So many different textures. Lori doesn’t fancy most of them, which is slightly disappointing. She made a deal with me though. When I grow, she will make an outfit for me with whatever fabric I desire.
However, on our trip, we ran into this man. Literally. He seemed strange. I went to Seven telling her my concerns over this man. She told me about a time in a grocery store with a stranger man. But when I described him, Seven shook her head and said it was not the same man.
Maybe I’m spending far too much time around Semella.

 : biggrin ay 115 ~ 11 September::Shux’ Journal ARGH!!!!
I need to get away! The place is so god damn frustrating. Hounded by Rislin and Semella constantly. Makes me mental.
Just away. Some space to me. To find myself. That’s all I feel. Not Me. I’m hateful. Horrid. I don’t even like myself.
Before I go, all I want is to talk with Arith one last time. But how? Lori says her bond has been gone for a while. Maybe somehow, I can get a not to her thru them.

: biggrin ay 117 ~ 13 September::*Click* Buy now and get *Click* Today on *Click* No toilet paper?!?! *Click*
’Jesus! Why does the tele have to be filled with such junk? Honestly, how hard is it to show a normal series?’ the human sat in the corner of her couch, with a remote in one hand and the other feeding chips into her mouth.
A quiet day at home was harder to come bay in Lori’s life, and soon will be even more difficult once school begins again. The frustrations of life were beginning to take it’s toll, but she refused to let her fairies see her down.
Semella had chosen a spot near Lori, holding one chip with both hands slowly nibbling on it. She never found the television interesting to watch, but instead a waste of time. Beings could use all the time spent sitting in front of the box to do something constructive, like rebuild a house or exercise in the warm sun. But for now, Semella kept her thoughts to herself.
Rislin on the other hand spent her time studying magazines Lori subscribed to. W magazine struck the time feien’s fancy since it contained mostly clothing styles while Hollywood Life and Entertainment Weekly were all about famous people and their insignificant lives. The images from the magazine gave life-size models for the small feien, which made it easier for her to imagine herself in each outfit. Of course, the main negative aspect of this was the fact turning a single page gave much effort.
Which is why she wrangled Shux to help her, who was currently sitting near the couch’s edge. Legs sprawled in front of her and back resting on the couch side. Whenever Rislin was ready for the next page, she would clear her throat loudly. And with rolling eyes she would use her magic to life the page up and Rislin would push it to the other side.
This went on for at least another hour, until one image caught the darkness feien’s eye. With a tilt in the head, Shux got to her feet moved herself closer to the magazine. ’What’s that?’ she questioned to Rislin keeping her scarlet eyes on the image of the woman.
’This?’ the time feien pointed and read the caption near the woman. ’Says here the outfit is middle East Indian inspired. Definitely nothing like western clothing, but it has beautiful designs.’ she commented looking over all the details in the edges of the fabric.
’Hmmmm….middle east? They seem like it would be comfortable to wear. The bit of fabric thrown over the shoulder is a nice touch. Would be better in maroon than that purple.’
’Hey! There’s nothing wrong with purple. I like it just as is. But then again, I wouldn’t want to wear something like that. Seems too loose. I like tight and snug.’
’You’ve never worn clothing. How would you know?’
’What? I can’t imagine clothing I would like to won someday? Lori said she would make me something when I grow.’ Rislin finished with a slight whine in her tone.
You have a while before that happens. Seems like it’s getting longer and longer in between growths. Well, so I hear from Lori.’
Rislin frowned. She was going to stay thins small while Seven and Sem get to be big. Disappointing as this was, she decided it would be best to make friend with those her size. Then maybe she would not feel as inferior.
Shux touched the image around the model’s eyes. Jewels were attached to her face above the brow to around the sides of the eyes. They sparkled of purple and gold to match the outfit’s fabric.
’Those are clever. I would have never thought of that.’ Rislin commented, noticing Shux’ fascination with the head jewelry.
’Maybe some of those small gem things Lori has in her craft box would work. I’m sure a bit of glue would keep them on.’ Shux’ mind began to imagine herself in the outfit on the page.
’But those jewels were big. More than one would make your head want to fall over.’
’I’ll ask here if there are smaller ones.’
Rislin shrugged and cleared her throat.
’Fine, fine. I’ll let you get back to your fashion hunt.’ Shux began to rip near the binding and pulled the entire page out. After successfully folding it to a size she could carry, the darkness feien helped turned the page before flying off to her room to keep the image in a safe place.

 : biggrin ay 119 ~ 15 September::Hidden in the corner of her small room, Semella held the pieces of clothing in her clawed hands. Her thumb rubbed the smooth fabric absentmindedly as she thought about wearing the garments for the first time. Maybe it was time for her to accept the fact she will never remember the life of her past. Somehow deep inside her, she began to long for the bits of fabric.
’Why do you refuse to wear those clothes? They belong to you, so says that blue feien.’ Shux landed gracefully on the edge of the cubby hole shelf that was Semella’s room. The darkness feien had been watching Sem for sometime.
’They don’t quite feel like my own. But somehow I have an attachment to them.’ She closed her eyes, trying to will herself to remember a bit of her life.
’Just put them on already. I can see it in your face that you wish to.’ Shux stated bluntly. She didn’t see the point of moping about it anymore. After all, she has been rebirthed for over a month now.
Semella hung her head and looked at the clothes once more. She sighed heavily and stood up. The rain feien handed the leggings and jewelry to Shux and began to put on her top. The fabric felt cool and comforting as it smoothed over her violet skin. Once the top was adjusted into it’s place, Shux handed Semella the leggings. Semella sat down once more, adjusting the cloth over each of her clawed toes. Her golden eyes met Shux’ scarlet ones as a small smile spread over her lips. Returning with a grin, the darkness feien carefully placed each bracelet over Semella’s wrists then moved to the final piece, a head garment made of a golden string and one sapphire colored jewel. The piece hung elegantly from the unihorn in the middle of Semella’s forehead to behind each of her ears.
Slowly touching each piece she had placed on, Semella’s smile began to grow. This outfit was a part of her. A piece of herself she did not know she missed so much. Without knowing it, a tear had fallen down her violet face.

: biggrin ay 121 ~ 17 September::Shux’ Journal I do feel bad about all the mean things I write about Sem and Rizzy. Not necessarily about them personally, but just the fact they are around.
I still feel lost about who I am and what I wish to become and I think having those two around hold me back in some way. My thoughts are that some personal time to just me might be what I need.
Now that I’ve grown, I believe I should re-evaluate the being I have become. My own skin is not pleasing. I grow more ashamed of my behavior everyday, but still I cannot help it. It is like this other being exists within me.
I need to find a way to stop myself.

: biggrin ay 123 ~ 19 September::Semella’s Journal I have gotten use to the idea of these clothes I wear. They are quite comfortable. And the jewelry matches my marking perfectly.
Hisa was a help, but I don’t know if she was teasing me in her own way by helping me put on the outfit. It was almost as if she was treating me as some more sophisticated being. I’m probably just imagining all of this.
Lori informed me another ancient feien has appeared. This one also with a unique element. Rebirth. She says he’s the one to go to when a feien wishes to meld with gems. Maybe he knows about gems. Or possibly knew the feiens who existed before they died. I wish to meet him at some point, like Julius. Hopefully they could ease my already troubled mind.

: biggrin ay 125 ~ 21 September::’Gah! It’s so hot in here! Can’t I pop out for a bit?’
’Shh!’ Lori hissed and spoke in a whisper, hardly moving her lips. ’ I can’t let you out. These people don’t know what you are. They’ll probably squish you like a bug. I can just imagine the prissy girls screaming their bloody heads off cause some monster appeared.’ the human smiled at each person she passed, feeling more stupid if they found out she was talking to someone they could not see.
Shux currently resided in Lori’s yellow Neurotically Yours sidebag, covered with patches like ‘Wanker,’ ‘b***h,’ and ‘a*****e.’ Today happened to be Lori’s first day at school for the new year. The darkness feien opted to tag along in hopes of something more interesting than being stuck at home.
But her hopes were failed for the first two classes. They were boring and she was forced to hide in the bag for the entire time. The feien wasn’t the only one uncomfortable. She noticed that her bond kept shifting around in her seat, no doubt to the wooden chairs she would be stuck in for two hours straight each class.
On the way to the last class of the day, the sun had almost set. The sky filled with blends of blue, orange, pink and yellow quickly fading to deeper blues.
Classroom 111 appeared empty when the human opened it’s door. ’I guess I can let you out. But make sure you hide once the door opens and make your way back to me.’
’Yeah, yeah.’ the feien busted out of the bag and let her wings fly her around the room.
Their time alone was not for long. The knob creaked and Shux fled to hide behind the projector attached to the ceiling. Thru the door came two faces that were somewhat familiar to Lori. The man from the grocery store and the one from the clothing shop.
A grin appeared on the blonde’s face when his eyes noticed Lori sitting along. He elbowed his companion in the side and nodded in the female’s direction.
He had changed his hair since last they met. Now it was only a few inches in length and messed up as if it needed to be brushed. Yet he still kept the green tips.
The man wandered his way around the tables and slid into the seat next to her.
’Evening. Nice to see you again.’ the man greeted casually.
’Likewise.’ Lori blushed.
From on top of the projected, Shux glared at the second man who took the seat on the opposite side of her bondmate.
’Tobey Ryann.’ the blonde proclaimed, holding a hand out to Lori.
’Valora Riddle. Lori works just as well.’ she responded completing the handshake.
’Lori…..hmm…My friend here is Vincent Roderick. Don’t mind him. He’s always brooding or angsty or some s**t like that.’
The one named Vincent snorted. He hadn’t changed much since last she saw him. Still had the scrawny thin jet back hair with baby blue streaks that matched his eyes. Baby blue eyes….the same as Tobey’s.
’I would thought you twins.’ Lori pointed out. ’Similar eyes. Are you two related?’
Vincent shot a glance at Tobey that Lori happened to miss. But Shux didn’t. Thinking up a response, Tobey smiled slyly at Lori. ’Eh, not exactly. Coincidence.’
’Oh.’ the female stated softly.
The class began arriving and buzzing noise flooded the room. There wasn’t much more time for the three to converse, but that didn’t stop Tobey from asking Lori to possibly see him outside of class.

: biggrin ay 127 ~ 23 September::'What do you mean you think he fancies her?' Semella questioned Shux after she told her two flat mates about the encounter with Tobey and Vincent.
Shux rolled her eyes at the idiotic question. 'What other meaning could I have? He seemed to show interest in her.'
The darkness feien had kept this to herself seeing no real reason to tell. But when Lori had denied her from joining on the adventure to school once again, Shux thought it was odd since Lori had never objected to any of her feien bonds to tag along.
Out of boredom, Shux had decided to tell this story to Rislin and Semella. Obviously not taking the idea of her bondmate being approached to by weird men, Semella continuously asked questions of Shux someone with a clear mind wouldn't.
Rislin did nothing but stare out the window. Since she had seen one of the men previously, she had a small advantage on Semella on the situation at hand.
'Why do I get the feeling you�re telling us this because you worry for Lori?' the time feien questioned. While fretting about details, Semella missed the small behavioral changes in Shux. Rislin on the other hand, while calm and thoughtful, did pick up on it.
'Well,�' the darkness feien started. She stood up from her spot and began to pace around her room. Rubbing her hands nervously, she continued. 'Did that man, Tobey, did he seem like�' she paused again to think of how to put it.
'Like he expected it?' Rislin finished.
'Yeah.' Shux� voice softly responded.
Rislin adjusted to her knees, her black eyes following Shux move from wall to wall. 'We should make sure these men are safe.'
'But how?' Semella pondered.
'Follow Lori.' Shux stopped while Rislin nodded in agreement.
'But what if she catches us?'
'What do you think she would do?'
'I donno. She might do something though.'
Snorting, Shux began pacing once more.
'We need a plan.' Rislin began, thinking of what to do. 'Possibly a schedule. Maybe one of us should always ask if we can tag along. And if she denies, like she did with you Seven, then stalk her?'
Semella frowned, not caring for this idea, but Shux vocaled her dislike of it. 'Meh, that sounds dumb. Let�s take a day to think about it.'

: biggrin ay 129 ~ 25 September::'My god. There's more of them? Elonas is bad enough. We really don't need more.' Shux whined at the pile of pixapets that sat in front of her. Elonas looked up at his owner with disgust and walked into the pile of them.
'I thought it would be a nice addition to the home. Figured it wasn't fair to Rislin and Semella that you're the only one with a pet.' the feien's bondmate stated. Lori had gotten four pixadogs and four pixacat, one each of the main four elements.
'They could have had him. All they had to do was ask.'
The human chose to ignore the statement and proceeded. 'The fire ones belong to you. I'll give Rizzy and Sem theirs when they get home.'
The darkness feien backed up when she noticed the clan of pixapets slowly moving in her direction. In front, who else, was Elonas.
'Wh...what are you doing?' her scarlet eyes began to open wide.
Elonas stepped forwards, the rest followed suit like little lemmings. 'Now!' yelled the pixacat. It proved that Elonas did have a plan after all, as the nine of them pounced upon Shux before she could fly away.
'Bloody hell! Have you all gone mad?!'
But her frantic did not stop the pets from pinning each of her body parts to the table.
'Ugh! That's it!' she yelled. Soon each of the pets could be found hanging mid air, wiggling and squirming to be freed of the darkness feien's Magic Hand.
Lori, currently laughing at the whole situation, tried to calm the feien down. 'Now Xaria, they were only just playing. Look at them. They look like little mice trying to get free.'
'Don't pity them. Well, at least not Elonas.'
Since this was his plan, Elonas was the only pixapet not squirming in mid air. For Lori's request, Shux let the other eight pixapets loose and they each scattered in their own direction.
Both the feien and pixacat stared at each other in a battle of wills. The staring contest only ended when Lori carefully grabbed Elonas out of the air and set him on his way. Shux huffed and ran to her room, not speaking to anyone for the rest of the day.

: biggrin ay 131 ~ 27 September:: ’Ahhhhh!’ a scream of pain echoed through the hallow stone walls.
A wooden machine wheel clicked to it’s next spot making it’s victim scream once more.
Tied onto the wooden board, Rislin looked upon her housemate with terror and hurt. The board was spilt in the middle so her upper body connected with one half and the lower body with the other. Attached to the base of the lower half was the wheel which twisted the body while the top stayed motionless.
Holding onto the wheel was Shux, giving a malicious laugh with each turn.
The time feien could feel her muscles and skin stretch to an unbearable point. Only a few more turns of the wheel and the tiny bones of her spine will break. Tears were streaming down her face as she pleaded for mercy from this torture.
Shux turned a blind eye at her pleas, however she stopped and watched her victim cry. Walking around to the side, she dragged her right hand up along the body until it reached Rislin’s face. Shux tilted her head and wiped the tears from her victim’s face.
Could this be the end? Had she been punished enough? Her thoughts were answered when Shux walked back to the wheel, giving it a hard push, finally breaking the victim’s back.
Rislin awoke twisted in her covers, sweating and traces of tears in the corner of her eyes. Her breath raced as the realization she was dreaming set in. She shoved the covers off from the end of her bed and collapsed onto the cool floor. Slowly crawling to the shelf edge, Rislin stuck her black and white mobbed hair over and checked on Shux to make sure she was asleep. Luckily, she was. On her stomach, arm hanging over the edge and Elonas curled up asleep in the base of her wings. She looked peaceful. Rislin returned to her own bed, pulling the comfortable to her. Sleeping didn’t appear to be an option anymore.

: biggrin ay 133 ~ 29 September::’That looks disgusting.’
’Disgusting? You should talk. Miss I love marmalade. Now that stuff looks horrid.’ Shux retorted busy on the counter making crab sushi rolls. Lori had been kind enough to provide her with the ingredients she needed. But as human sized rolls were far too big, Shux made her own much smaller version. She found it best to wrap the crab alone in the seaweed wraps and keep the rice on the side.
Semella, curious as she always is, hung over the darkness feien’s shoulder commenting here and there on useless things.
’Marmalade is amazing! How dare you insult it.’
’Please. Just something about it that just…’ Shux shivered in disgust thinking of eating marmalade once more.
Rislin sat quietly on the edge of the counter watching the two bicker. Well more like listening as the time feien couldn’t look at Shux for long since her dream.
Naturally, Shux didn’t think much of this change in her flat mate. Instead, she believe Rislin had given into her demands of being left alone. Now if only Semella would follow suit…
’Blech! There is no way you’re getting me to eat that.’ the ancient continued.
’Who asked you to? In fact, I don’t remember asking you to be around me.’
Glaring at Shux, the rain feien stomped before flying somewhere far away from the nuisance in front of her.
Still quiet, Rislin smiled meekly at Shux as the darkness feien returned her full attention to the Californian sushi rolls. The time feien shook her head realizing she had been silly to be intimidated by Shux. She scooted closer to the area Shux was.
’Can I try a bit?’ the small feien asked softly.
Blinking at her companion, Shux’ expression softened and she handed a piece over. Rislin took it, giving thanks and nibbled on a bit of it. The wrap’s texture was definitely nothing she had ever tried before. The crab itself was delicious and juicy.
The two feiens finished the meal together, talking over bits and pieces of their life. Friends, hopes, anything. For the first time, Shux found a friendship in Rislin.

: biggrin ay 135 ~ 1 October:: ’Rizzy!’ yelled a voice from the kitchen.
The purple feien grunted from her spot. The voice was calling her to wake up and leave her warm bed. Of course, this was displeasing as she preferred to rest on her own schedule.
‘Rizzy! Get your fairy arse up and out here!’
Shux zoomed into the room and landed next to the sleepy feien’s bed. ‘I don’t know why she couldn’t wait ‘til you got up.’
‘What does she want?’ Rislin questioned, rubbing one eye.
‘Some stuff she ordered from the shop came for you. I think Sem’s jealous since she wasn’t thought first.’ the darkness feien smirked.
‘Xaria! What’s taking so long?’’ the voice called again.
‘Best get up. She might storm in here and douse you with water if you don’t.’ she laughed and headed back to the kitchen.
Rislin frowned then proceeded to kick off the covers from her bed like an upset child being forced to school. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she huffed while her eyes focused. Once feeling stable, she made her own way to the kitchen.
Upon arrival, the feien found her human bond seated at the table. ‘Finally decided to grace us with your presence, hmm?’
‘Give her a break. You woke her up. I would have been looking for a marble to choke you with.’
Lori glared and swatted the feien from her left shoulder. Shux back flipped in the air, snorted, and flew to the table.
Rislin moved over to where Shux was, who currently busy examining the items. The time feien first grabbed the two rapiers, one in each hand. She looked them over then placed them at her side. The circlet was next. While one hand held the item, the other ran around it’s edge. She turned to the human. ‘What is this for?’
‘You wear it on your head. At least that is what I am told.’ Lori answered.
The feien looked at the circlet once more before placing it on her head. She adjusted it, brining out her bangs and some of her hair so that the circlet did not affect the flow of her hair. She continued onto the rest of the items until all had been examined. She thanked her human bond for the gift and promised to put them to good use.

: biggrin ay 137 ~ 3 October:: ‘You’re jealous, aren’t you?’
‘What?’ Semella looked up from a piece of paper she was doodling on.
‘You’re jealous of my friendship with Seven.’ Rislin repeated, leaning against the far wall.
Semella gave a mock laugh. ‘What could possibly make you think I’m jealous of your new friendship?’ she stated at Rislin.
‘Cause you’ve hardly said a word to me since we began getting along.’ Which was true. It had taken the time feien a few days to notice the change in attitude of her flat mate.
‘I’ve just had nothing to say.’ the ancient shrugged and tried to brush this conversation off as if it were nothing. But deep down inside, she did know that Rislin was correct. How was she able to befriend Shux, when she herself failed so many times?
‘Right.’ Rislin responded disbelieving. ‘But when you stop having this little…tiff, let me know. Maybe I can put in a good word for you with Seven.’ And with that, she took off, out of the shelving room and left Semella stuck with her own thoughts.
