July 4
Oh man...now I've really done it. Nero and I went exploring the rafters right? Didn't see anything at first, so he decided to hop across them. He fell into a bird's nest, got all tangled up. All his pretty hair was full of twigs, feathers, string. I got him free, but before we could leave, the momma bird came back! Luckily, Yeande and Arturo, Nero's father, was there. They rescued us. But then he told me I was banned from seeing Nero! It's not fair! How was we to know the momma bird would come back?
I wanna see Nero again! It's not fair! I gotta think up of a way how...maybe messages? Written in code? Sneaking to his house? Oh...good ideas! I'll go work on that!

Gah, this is hard...it's all too easy to figure out. A = 1 or Z = 1. Maybe I can just write him notes and hide them. But where? In the bookcase? Behind it? It's a tight fit, but I am sure I can get back there. Nero's as small as me, I'm sure he can too. Ah, I miss my pal! I should go write him a letter instead of writing here.

Well, Arith and Yeande know about Nero's plan to hide messages. Arith said she wouldn't tell, but I hope Yeande won't either. Please. Whatever gods there is, don't let her tell Arturo. Nero's my pal...I love that guy. I want him safe, and not in trouble. Me...I don't mind, but Nero's too great to deserve such. He's so cool, and I love how he looks. So different than any Feien I've met yet.
Gogol must know Nero to give me that message. He was cute too. Funny. Hug out of the blue. I like him as well.

Well, looks like life is normal here. I got home, finding Fionn and Aria busy playing my games. I pulled out all my systems, Gamecube, X box, PS2, N64, and the games, laying them out in neat piles. They're not that neat now. They've even gotten into the Gameboy!
Lilyana has found a book to read and she's laying across the bed now, reading.
Ianios...my poor baby boy. He's sorta watching the gaming going on, but he looks worried. He had told me about what happened between him and Nero. He looks so vulnerable right now. I know he's hoping Nero found his note, but he's too scared to go over to see. He's not wanting to run into Arturo. I told him to be careful, as he has a knack for hurting others. Of course, he's not meaning too, part of his nature, inquisitive he is. I know he's devoted to Nero. He told me he loves that boy. He's as fearless as he is! Ian...don't get hurt...I couldn't stand that.

July 7 I went to the shop last night to see if Nero had gotten my note. He had, but hadn't left one in return. It made me sad. So I flew up to the rafters, to see if maybe he'd come. Well...he did! Oh, I was so happy! Turns out he had a note for me! I flew down, hugging him tightly. Quote: Dear Ianois, My father is watching me closely, but I'm devising plans to slip away. It seems he gets very distracted when Mama is around, which is one thing. And since Gogol is helping, it'll make things easier. I want to see you again, but it is difficult for me to come to the shop without my father following. Still, I am doing my best, and I WILL be leaving you notes behind the bookshelf, at the very least. In your next note, I would appreciate you leaving an address so that I may visit you if I am able to slip away. Your friend, Nero
Anyway, it wasn't too long after that I had to go...stupid Aria...

I went to the shop last night, had to deliver a plushie I made for Nero. And guess what? He arrived soon after! But with his father... *sigh* It's not fair, I tell you. At least I think he got Tahki to take it home for him, I think. I hope so.

Ian made Nero a plushie yesterday and delivered it. I hope he liked it.
As for me, I'm angry. Very. Somehow my AIM is ******** and recalling the password doesn't help. It's going to an old old email. Damnit.
I scared my feien, I know I did. Even Lilyana left. But damnit...that was my name for so ******** long...it pisses me off! Let them stay out tonight. I'm too upset to care how they fare....no, wait...I do care. I just don't want them here now. I'll leave the wards down, so they can return home whenever.

Well, my feien came in sometime last night after I went to bed. Might have been waiting on the light to go out. I suppose, anyway. They seem fine today. I hope they understood. Aria and Fionn were helping me dust while ago. Now I think I'll got get them some ice cream to celebrate Fionn's birthday. It was the 5th. I just found out. He arrived before it and if I had known...well, off to celebrate it.

Quote: Dear Ianios, Thank you for the plushie! While it is still no substitute for you, it's better than hair. I need to make you something too... I will soon, I promise! I miss you a lot, but Papa hasn't stopped watching me for a while. I think he's suspicious. I'm doing my best, though. I hope to see you soon. I miss the adventures we had. Yours truly, Nero.

I snuck out. I went to Nero's but didn't look like anyone was home. Rynn was still up, so the wards were down. I left a leaf to mark I was there. It looked like my leaf. I miss Nero!

Aria and I enjoyed the race, but she had to explain it to Fionn. He never understood why it was so much fun to watch cars go around and around. Heh.
Well, I'm off to bed. Ianios must be having fun at the shop. I'll leave the wards down. They'll come back on when he arrives home.

Ianios hadn't gone home. In fact, he didn't even travel in that direction. He didn't want to see smiling faces when his own was so sad. His heart was broken and he knew what he needed, but wasn't able to get. Perhaps spending some time in the woods would help. He adored the plants, talking to them and all, but now, he wanted to just get away.
He had found a tree with a hollowed out spot in it. Peeking in to be sure nothing lived there, he crawled in to check out the space. It was cozy, and there was enough room for him to lay out and stretch. He crawled out, buzzing around the forest gathering leaves. They'd make his new bed and blanket. He hated to worry Rynn but he needed his time. He could never prove himself to Arturo, so what was the use?
The plant feien climbed back into his new den, laying out the leaves, gathering up some for a pillow. It wasn't like home, but it'd do. He spent the early evening gathering leaves and small twigs. Finding a small thorn bush, he broke a few off. He'd make himself a weapon. He'd need one. What he'd make, he didn't know.
Ianios layed his stuff towards the front of the den, curling up in the leaves as the light vanished, leaving only darkness. Outside the den crickets chirped, owls hooted, and inside the den, Ianios cried himself to sleep.

Ianios didn't come home. Where did he go? Why? Does it have something to do with Nero? Lords, I hope not.

July 13 This Morning Ianios flew to the small cottage where Rynn lived, looking for signs of life. He was still unsure if he should come back, but what Tahki had said made some sense. He didn't want his bond to worry over him. But he was so unhappy. He needed his Nero. But Arturo stood in his way. Perhaps he'd never get his Nero. Maybe it was better he forget, but he couldn't. He was so devoted to the boy, he had to be near him. He wanted to be there if he needed him. But kinda hard when there was one in the way. Ianios sighed, gliding up to a window, peering in. Aria sat on the edge of her bed, hugging the pillow tightly to her. She was sobbing, her small body rocking slightly. Tears rolled down her face. Where was her brother?? Why had he left? Was he dead?? Too many questions rolled around in her mind, each worse than the last. She flung herself down onto her bed, sobbing. Fionn sighed, patting Aria on the back. He felt so helpless. They had searched everywhere, without luck. Even the feien that had been with him that night he hadn't come home had no idea where he had gone. And poor Aria was torn up with grief. Even Lilyana, who really hadn't cared all that much for them, even she went out searching. Ianios pressed his hands to the glass, seeing Aria fling herself to her bed. His heart broke. He never meant to hurt her that way. He sighed, buzzing into the bedroom. Fionn looked over when he heard buzzing. Was there a bee in here? His eyes went wide as he spied. "Ianios!" he cried, leaving Aria to fly over. "You're home!"Ianios nodded to Fionn. "That I am." With that, he flew to Aria, laying a hand on her back. "Sissy?" he asked gently.Aria looked up, hearing Ianios' voice, feeling his small hand on her back. Her face was tearstained, and tears stung her eyes. She rubbed them away seeing the small green feien. "Ianios?"Ianios gave her a smile and a hug. "I'm back, Sis. Don't cry..."Aria grabbed her brother in a hug, fresh tears springing to her eyes. "Why'd you leave? Why didn't you come home?""I had to get away." Ianios sighed, breaking the hug, running his hand through his hair."But we were all worried about you.""We went hunting everywhere. Where were you?"Ianios looked away. "Just away. Listen, I don't want to talk about it." Aria could only nod. "Alright, bro.""Welcome back, Ian. But I bet you will have to explain to Rynn." "I will." He wasn't looking forward to it, but he would, He promised himself. "Now, if you two don't mind, I'm wanting to sleep." "Alright." "Sure. We'll be in the kitchen."With that, she and Fionn flew off, leaving Ianios to climb into his bed.

Ianios sure has been sleeping a lot lately over at the shop. I guess he is wanting to see if he can see Nero. He hasn't for a while I know. He's gotten more into working with his arrows, though for the life of me, I can't see how he'll get those little thorns to stick onto those twigs. I can teach him archery, not much to it. Just making him a small enough target will take some work though.
He talked of getting a circlet and stuff for his head. I might do that.
