Final_Crucible Candle walked into the room to nod towards the child of the family, before her eyes perked at Atashi's form. Purring to herself, she looked around at the strangly full room. Candle than moved towards the small chair near the corner where the male dreams were, her tail flicking back and forth as she glanced towards Mania while she passed. Jumping onto the chair, she curled up and looked around at everyone, just watching them with a keep gaze as she curled up towards one corner of the chair. LizzyMoo When set down, Atashi looked around the room. Why was she set down? Finding the answer relatively shortly, Atashi almost seemed to toddle towards the other Yudou.
"...Candle, Candle, Candle..." she said softly as she nuzzled her friend's cheek lightly. Final_Crucible Turning her face towards her friend, she hopped down as the smaller one moved closer, resulting in being brushed in the face as she looked towards the others once more. Her gaze lazy, she just watched them for a moment before curling closer towards Atashi. LizzyMoo Smiling a bit when the gentle gesture was returned, Atashi whispered "Candle has been good, yes?" In a friendly and nearly intimate gesture, the younger looking of the two Yudou began to groom the other one to the best of her ability. Licking lightly at the fur behind her friend's ear, she began to purr gently. Final_Crucible Candle seemed to just let the other one groom her as she glanced to where Mania was walking over, letting her head tilt as the licking seemed to cause a purr come out of her as well, though deep and relaxed as her voice brushed across the room. 'I have been well, I have been searching Nowhere, though have yet to find my special someone...though we have yet to look together, maybe we shall have some sort of luck...' Her eyes looked towards Atashi as she waited for her to finish licking behind her ear, before she moved to nuzzle the creature in a gesture of welcoming and thanks. LizzyMoo Once she had finished, she nodded her head and said "Yes. We must search Nowhere. Atashi wants to help Candle find her special someone just for her as well as find Atashi's special someone just for her." Her child-like naivety really did seem to shine at the moment as she smiled to the other. Final_Crucible Candle smiled to herself, though it was well hidden, and she signaled for Atashi to sit, 'We will find them someday, but I shall help you out as much as I can...' She tilted her head as her eyes shined, her tail moving and her beads clanking, she brushed against her in a friendly way, 'We will find them soon.' To be continued

Elf Death was panting, the heat of the day soaking through his blood-cloak.
*My lord, just take it off!* Duke demanded, watching his friend worriedly.
Death gave the ghost a horrified look ::Neva! I will not let Sun get to me as if I was some kind of... mortal!:: Final_Crucible Walking silently down the path, Candle seemed unmoved by the long bellowing scarf that covered her face. Her eyes were sharp as she glanced around, and soon enough she stilled as she caught sight of a strange dream that was paused on the path. Her eyes going over his cloak, they soon caught sight of the strange ghost next to him, but shook her head and decided to ignore him as she started down her walk once more. Elf Death didn't hear Candle's path, but Duke did. The ghost glared over at the Dream, "How rude, don't you think? To not stop and say hi?"
Death turned in the direction the reaper-ghost directed and just looked fairly blankly at Candle. : biggrin o you always have to be so rude, Duke?::
*Tis my job, milord!* Duke responded witha smirk Final_Crucible Candle paused and turned her gaze back towards the strange creature that was now behind her. Looking slightly appaled, she snorted to herself and turned to sit down, her head and chin held high as she glanced over the two. Tail flinging back and forth behind her, her long scarf seemed to flow by an unknown wind, never touching the ground around her. Elf Death watched then seemed to smile, ::Not much a talker is she, Duke?::
The ghost snorted, *The reaction must be mutual, no?*
Death swatted at the ghost, ::Not my fault I was created the way I am:: Final_Crucible Candle seemed to narrow her eyes before she smirked, her head raised and her tail swinging 'Nor is it my fault I was created the way I am...' Her voice was in that of communications of whisps, a tecnique that went from mind to mind, and being the mute she was, she did not move her lips at all, though she could somewhat read thoughts of others, if they directed it out. The dream infront of her directed his communications towards the ghost, thus alowing her to intercept and listen in. Elf Death and Duke both stared at Candle in shock. They knew of many Dreams ((*coughs* through a Dream's death)) and knew of mutes, but they still always assumed the Dream to be, well, not mute.
*Great!* Duke threw up his scythe in exasperation, *I'm the only listen-thing here... and I am DEAD!*
Death snickered and bowed his head, ::Hello, I am Death. The annoying ghost is Duke:: Final_Crucible Candle just watched with a twinkle of humor in her eyes as the ghost seemed to freak out, though said nothing as she nodded back to Death, 'They call me Candle...' It was simple, as she didnt talk much to thoes she hardly knew, and she old turned back to curiously watch the ghost once more. Elf Death smiled then coughed silently, : biggrin uke is quite a character, yes::
*well, you always tell me to be the messenger... and now everyone assume I am you and the bringer of Death!* Duke pointed his scythe at Death accusingly
The tarot Dream shrugged and sat down, his cloak billowed around his haunches. All he managed was to sneer crudely at the bellowing ghost Final_Crucible Watching them, Candle tuned them out as her mind wandered. She figured if they ignored her any longer it was a good way to leave, so as she let them settle their differences, she moved to stand, her large beads that were around her neck clanking together in signal of her movements. Elf Duke sighed and settle next to his masta, *No need to leave, miss...*
: biggrin uke is just over-dramatic...:: Death nodded as to invite Candle to join them (once again?) Final_Crucible Stilling, Candle turned and moved slowly over towards them to sit across from them, watching Duke as she slowly questioned out 'So you are the new master of death that has appeared in nowhere?' Though it was a question, she seemed to put it out as a statement as her eyes turned to glance at Death. Elf Death pondered the question for awhile. He had always been present in Nowhere, but now his "gift" was becoming apparent as Nowhere changed and the "Death" of the past has been replaced. He nodded, seeing how it could be seen that he had "just arrived" and could be thought of as new, ::I guess, for all simplications, I am the 'new' Death in the area. As Nowhere changes, so do I... even though I am still 'the same-ole Death':: Final_Crucible Candle nodded slowly, still looking at him, 'So you aren't a yudou dream...mearly one blessed with different powers than the deejarne around us...facinating...' she smirked to herself before glancing to the ghost 'And what significance are you to the world around us?' Elf Death smirked, ::I am not sure I am a 'significance to the world'. Many would disagree to that statement. I merely am Death... no more, no less:: Final_Crucible Silent, she just blinked for a moment before her voice grew darker, softer, 'Do you desire something more in this world?' Tilting her head to the side, she waited to see his responce, her attention set right on him. Elf Death sighed, not quite sure he understood the question ::I cannot control the changes, for good or bad, less or worse. All is relative to the seer.:: Final_Crucible Looking put out, Candle turned away, seeing that her questions would not be answered anytime soon, and just looked towards the sky, 'Than answer this, are you the killer, or mearly the transporter?' Elf Death bristled, ::I do not kill anyone. Dying is a way of life, it is just a change in the fabric of existence. I do not even transport, but I do govern and help souls in the transition of dying::
Duke looked up at the tone in his lord's thoughts. Final_Crucible Candle was silent long after Death had finished talking, and waited as if she were not about to say anything. However, her thought slowly left her mind as she shrugged her shoulders, 'Fair enough...' And that was all she said, a signal for him to take over and decide which topic to discuss and which to ignored. Elf Duke snorted but said nothing.
Death looked at Candle, ::Some of the other Tarot Dreams have arrived, and some of the others will for sure be appearing soon. You may be able to meet the others then and analyse them accordingly, no?:: Final_Crucible She looked at him silently, and slowly nodded, unsure as to what Tarot was but not feeling any need of asking. Turning to look at Duke, she just starred at him with her icy eyes, waiting for him to keep talking. Elf Duke returned Candle's gaze, *Death may not kill, but I am known to have changed Dreams' live to that of the spirit world* He snarled
Death's twitched to the ghost, but he was silent as to the ghost's threat Final_Crucible Raising a brow, she glanced to Death 'Is he always like this?' And just smirked towards Duke, 'Even one so intune with death has no control over the Yudous of this world...' Her tail swishing back and forth, she just watched for his reaction. Elf Duke snorted, *That may be what you think, but things change, deary!*
::If you mean by unneeded threats and lying about many things:: Death shrugged, ::Then, yes, he is always like this::
Duke glared at Death and started rapping the Dream on the head with his scythe, *Not true, not true!*
: biggrin o you want to call me a liar to my face!?:: Death growled
The ghost slunk away and sighed *You do not lie, master* he whispered
Death nodded ::At least you got that right!:: Final_Crucible Candle watched the exchange with a grin, though she had to admit Duke had a lot of spunk, if she could call it that. Shifting from her spot, she glanced to Death, 'You are from nowhere correct...?' She tilted her head and moved closer 'My family has a memeber stuck in nowhere...maybe if she...well...maybe you have seen her?' Elf Death pondered again, not sure how to describe his existence, ::I am from... well, I am not sure; it has been so long! Who is she?:: Final_Crucible Candle shook her head, 'She only just left to nowhere, she was a deejarne of fire...left with a lair lord...that is all I know...' Her eyes and her tone seemed to flatten, though she just shifted and looked back to him, 'Do you have many other friends here, like thoes Tarots?' Elf Death smiled sadly, ::I rarely have any friends... most people do not like the changes I bring simply because they are changes.... But I have met Magician.:: He thoughts some more, ::I do not believe I know your sister:: Final_Crucible 'Alas, she is still missing, hopefully soon she shall appear once more for the others in the family to feel better...I do not tell them how I feel...but I know more than they do. She has left the family...and has discovered a cure for her desires...' Her eyes seemed to stay sharp though she turned her head away. Elf Death nodded, ::Many actions are very unpredictable:: Final_Crucible Nodding back, Candle turned and glanced towards him, unsure what to say next as she waited for him to continue and maybe decide to ask a few questions of his own, though she was unsure if she could answer them if any at all. Elf Death sighed and returned Candle's glance, ::I am afraid I am not too familiar with this area... not many Dreams die... mostly humans and animals and the such:: Final_Crucible Candle smirked to herself, 'Would you like me to show you around...there are not many important places...mostly the shop is where all dreams relax...' Elf Death stood, Duke skittered to under the hot cloak, ::I would appreciate it, Lady Candle!:: He bowed Final_Crucible 'Please, no formalities...' With that left in the air, she turned and nodded for him to follow, leading him down the path and towards where the sun seemed to gleam with such radiance it could only mean it was reflecting off the sea. Elf Death smiled, Duke snorted. *Lord Death is always formal, milady*
Death followed and then looked off where the radiance existed Final_Crucible Blinking to them, she just continued onwards, and paused, 'This is the sea, we are currently on the island right outside of Isle de Gambino...' her paw lifted and she pointed towards the house 'that is the shop, usually all dreams that are home rest there and get to know eachother...' Elf Death looked around, soaking it all in, but politely remained silent Final_Crucible Seeing he made no move to say anything, Candle shurgged and walked on, slowly waiting for him to follow as she led him across the beach towards the house, wondering if anyone else would be around. Elf Death again took up his silent vigil and was reluctant to interrupt anythin Final_Crucible 'Here we are...' She pushed open the door and nodded towards the room, the small room filled with comfort as the pillows and chairs looked fluffed, and the floor was spacious for dreams to play or train upon. There was also room for owners to join in as well, or humans. Elf Death walked into the room and ran to the other side as fast as he could and then walked back gingerly, careful of the pillows Final_Crucible Blinking, Candle tilted her head and tried not to laugh at his antics, her eyes shining as she moved to sit on a pillow, 'Is everything alright?' Elf Death nodded, ::Just checking around...:: Final_Crucible Smirking, she nodded and looked around, realizing Duke was no where to be found 'He can come out you know...' Elf Duke, who had momentarily fallen asleep, peeked out of the cloak and then floated out, *How horrid! you stink, Death!*
Death blew on the ghost, making is gag Final_Crucible 'Intresting...he can smell...' She murmered to herself, a smirk holding on her features as she settled into the pillow. Elf Duke went to Candle to escape the stench, *He does.... and it doesn't matter how many time, either! He always smells the same!* The ghost seemed to pout
Death glared and settled onto his own pillow, ::I can only be smelled if some drastic is about to change for someone, like death:: he growled : surprised r if you are Duke!::
*Lucky me...* the ghost sighed Final_Crucible Candle just watched the two before her paws moved to catch Duke, and she held him by his small syth, 'I dont smell anything, and I think my nose is stronger than...well what you use to smell...' she held some humor to her voice as she tilted her head before setting Duke down and glancing towards Death. Elf Duke pouted *Such abuse! ABUSE!*
Death nodded, ::Thank you!::
*I am being ganged up against!!!* Duke whined Final_Crucible Candle shrugged, 'You can always fight back....' She smirked and just batted at him, though playfully with no real attempt to hit him as she was growing drowzy. Elf Duke tried to hide, with no luck, pouting and whining the whole time.
Death wrinkled his nose at the ghost, *Well, you had to learn sometime!* Final_Crucible Lifting her head suddenly, Candle stood and looked towards Death, 'I had fun making a new friend, let us continue this on later...but for now I must go...' with that said she moved past him and walked towards the door Elf Death nodded in farewell, ::As it was nice meeting you as well::

Final_Crucible It was growing darker as the afternoon slowly progressed into night, and as she walked down the dirt path of the forests around the shop, Mania prepaired herself mentally for her journey that she would soon be traveling on. Her wings stretched slowly out as her red tails flicked around her form. Taking a deep breath, she slowly to a stop and just sat there, glancing around her as if someone was watching and she could feel their eyes on her form. Fer With a twitch of his wings, Dhai jumped nimbly up onto a window ledge outside the shop and scowled at the world around him. He'd only just been able to escape that annoying Air, who kept insisting they play pirates together. Of all the...well, it didn't matter. One day he'd leave. Nowhere was calling, he could feel it in his wings. Although, he thought with a wince, it could just be the pain from Ejhani pulling on them. Final_Crucible Slowly pulling up her hand, she thought about her mother and her aunt, the one that was missing, and move her hand to brush it across her hair in a grooming manner. Her horns gleamed at the nubby tips a bright red, and her tails stood out against her gray and purple highlighted fur. Pulling her wings back in to her sides, she looked to the sky through the trees above before a leaf fell down to land on her nose, causing her to let out a sharp sneeze. She couldnt help it really, it had landed right where she was sensitive and right away she had to get it off. Rubbing her eyes with her paws once more, she glanced all around her at the green and brown. Fer Startled by the sneeze, Dhai jumped back down into the bushes and peered out through them, easily blending into the shadows with his dark fur. A dre-...no, a nightmare? Grinning, the fancie trotted out, his tail held high. Final_Crucible Turning her head suddenly at the sound of rustling, Mania blinked at the strange creature that was moving towards her before throwing her features into her strongest defence, a sharp glare. Her face becoming impassive, her eyes watched sharply with an icy stab, though weak still with her lack of pratice. She had no idea what the creature was, it looked like her aunt Taffy, but even than the wings were quite different. Fer Dhai smiled sweetly back, coming to a stop a short distance a way. Sitting serenely, he gave his paw a lick and stretched his little wings to their fullest. "I'd say it's nice out, but it's a bit on the cold side, don't you think?" Final_Crucible She watched him with thoes eyes before letting out a sharp, though slightly confused, "I would say so too, but I would only be giving you what you want. Why are you acting as if you know me?" Her voice was soft and childish, but it still had the sharpness to it that would make any true nightmare proud. Her eyes blinked and softened, but she did not relax her tense body. Fer "Why are you acting like I'm going to attack you at any moment?" he replied equally, tilting his head slightly to the side and cocking an ear. "At any rate, I was taking a stab at this 'being friendly' business, which is a rare thing for me. I suppose I shouldn't bother, if that's the response I get." Final_Crucible Her eyes still narrowed, she shrugged her shoulders as her tails spun around eachother in a sort of alluring dance, "I am sorry if I am just brought up to not trust strangers, you offered candy, and I refused." She looked away, trying to figure out if that saying worked, 'Dont take candy from strangers'. Final did have a strange way of teaching her things. Fer "Candy?" Dhai blinked, thrown off guard by this. "What does bloody candy have to do with-Ah!" He blinked again and laughed, realizing what she meant. "But candy's good, and I'm not offering anything poisoned." Snicker! Final_Crucible She blinked, unsure what was this strange dream's intentions as she just sat there, her head tilting slowly. Shifting her paws on the ground in an antsy manner, she just moved to stand, "Candy is good, but only if I know it is not poisoned...and strangers love to use unpoisoned candy to lure young dreams like me into their clutches...I am not stupid you know." She said the last part with a roll of her eyes, though she made no move to leave, she had no idea why. Maybe she was acting, but whatever it was, she was having fun with this strange creature. Fer "Clutches, hah!" He snorted, and his wings twitched in silent laughter. "But what harm could a little fancie like me do?" Pausing, Dhai looking up at the sky as he thought. "Hmm...thus far, I've only managed to inflict minor bite and scratch wounds on anyone, and I'm sure you could defend against that if it came to it. To tell you the truth, I'm just bored." Final_Crucible She stilled and just watched him for a moment before shrugging, "I cannot help you cure boredome, fancie...I am currently on a quest and I must be off..." She than turned away so her lavender wings could be seen as she walked towards the path once more. Fer That's where you're wrong, I think. "Oh? A quest?" Dhai's ears perked up, and he ran to catch up to her. "Sounds exciting. What kind of quest?" Final_Crucible Mania continued to walk, not really bothering to look at him as she spoke, "One to find my Aunt who dissapeared with a real nightmare in nowhere...nothing special." She glanced to him out of the corner of her eye, her mouth set in a firm line as she tried to figure out where to enter nowhere.

Dear Journal,
Seems as if I finally got kicked out of my house today, and Taffy said I could not come back until I made a friend. Boy was she surprised when I showed up hours later with a new friend that I had just met. She was sweet, loved to read, and was a lot of fun all together, I can still remember our meeting.Final_Crucible Walking slowly outside of the shop, Hiros let the sun sink into his soft fur. He had spent the last few months at his home in the glade, but suddenly was kicked out to go be 'social' as Taffy liked to call it. In reality, he thought that maybe they were just sending him off because they wanted him to meet a female dream, but who was he to judge their actions. Shruging his shoulders, he slinked through the sand and just glanced back to watch his tail and his paws leave a mark, his tail dragging from bordom. It was only just morning and the sun was getting hotter, so he figured soon enough it would be time to go inside, but until than he could just stay outside and pretend to enjoy himself. Karalen Kukki's tail slowly swished from side to side as she frowned at the book she was reading, her paw slowly traveling down the page underneath the sentences. She had left her home for a few hours to read in peace for once. She was glad Lloyd wasn't there to tear her books apart, Takikori to ask her what to do about Ejhani (He was new at love, after all), and Zerin to actually try and hit on her. Magician wasn't bad at all, but his two candles loved to shriek and bounce around her. Luckily, Magician usually liked to wander by himself through the woods, so Kukki didn't have to worry about him too much. Final_Crucible Finally moving his way inside, Hiros shifted his paws as they touched the cool surface of the floor. His eyes wandered until they caught sight of a new creature that he had yet to see, but than again he was never really one to visit others so he didnt have much knowlage of who they were. Sighing, he walked over towards the edge of the room and glanced around silently, searching for something to entertain himself with. Karalen Kukki, hearing a small noise, glanced towards the side of the room, seeing a new Dream sit there glancing around. Looking at her book to see where she stopped, she stood up, and walked a few steps towards the Dream. "Hello," she greeted, "Are you new here?" Final_Crucible Hiros blinked and turned his head in a swift motion, his eyes looking over Kukki as he coughed lightly in an attempt of a stall. He was surprised she had caught up to him that fast, and it took a moment for him to catch himself.
"You could say I am new...but I have been here for quite a long time..." He responded with a nod of his head, "I am Hiros." Karalen "My name's Kukki." the teal Dream replied, bowing her head in greeting. "It's nice to meet you. I haven't seen you around at all... I suppose you were here before I was even born." Kukki laughed slightly in an awkward way and shook her head. "Where are my manners... How are you?" Final_Crucible Hiros let out a soft chuckle and looked to her, "I have been around her for a long time, I am one of the first in my family, and we started that last easter I believe..." He trailed off looking towards the window before he blinked and smiled to her, "I am alright, if I dismiss the fact my eldest sister decided to force me here...but the island doesnt see that bad...peaceful if I must say so...and how are you?" Karalen "This island is peaceful, I can say that... nothing like back at home. Noise, noise, noise..." She smiled back and stepped a little closer, sitting about two feet away from him. "I'm quite fine, happy that I found some peace on this island. It seems to be the only place I can read. Ah, don't worry, I was at a good stopping place anyway." Final_Crucible He seemed taken aback at her thought of him worrying, but didnt show it as he nodded slowly, "I would have never targeted to distract you, Kukki, I was simply strolling in...It was getting quite hot outside, and this place is nice and cool..." He trailed off as his eyes glanced towards her book, "Read you say, who might have taught you?" Final taught him to read a lot while he was in the house, but to see another dream read caught his intrest. Karalen "It is quite hot outside..." She looked towards the air conditionor in the shop with a thankful look, then padded over to the book she was reading. "My owner taught me to read while I was growing up. After second brother was born, I taught him how to read too." She smiled and pawed at the book a little. "The others either don't want to read, or already know how." Final_Crucible He nodded slowly, watching her walk to the book as his tail swung back and forth behind him. His ears flatening in a relaxed pose, he just glanced around the room as she moved to her book, not really sure what to say as he nodded when he needed to. He was not quite used to being social, and thus had a hard time speaking at the moment or thinking up what to say. Karalen Kukki halfway knew how Hiros felt. Magician wasn't very social either, since he only felt comfortable around other tarots such as himself. She turned to Hiros and smiled again, sitting beside him at her usual two-feet-away spot. "Which owner do you belong to?" Final_Crucible Hiros blinked once again as she moved close to him once more, and watched her through his deep eyes. Thinking over the question slowly, he spoke softly as the rest of the room was silent, "I belong to a girl who calls herself Final, though I have heard others call her Taki-san and even a strange name that starts with an S, though I never hear that one because it is usually called to her in another room..." He tilted his head slightly in though, his long bangs falling into his eyes. Karalen "Final, huh... my second brother, Takikori, told me that he'd been teaching one of Final's Dreams to read... Thor, was it?" She rested her head on her paws, glancing up at Hiros. "My owner's name is Karalen, though I hear she goes by other names too. It's what she's called around this place..." Kukki's tail started to swish slowly again, a sign of contentment. Final_Crucible Hiros blinked and nodded slowly, "Thor is new to our family, he doesnt talk much...I think it is because he never was Final's true dream, though she treats him like one as do the rest of us..." He watched her for a moment before smiling, "It is sweet you teach others the ability to enjoy reading..." Karalen Kukki's eyes widened as her cheeks warmed up a little. Was she blushing?! Oh no, she couldn't be. She'd never blushed before. Maybe she was getting sick? No, no, it couldn't just happen immediately like that. Little did she know that she was, in fact, blushing.
"I love to read... reading takes your mind to another world unlike this one or Nowhere, a world that you only imagined about... books can really whisk you away, or let you learn about things that you've never known before, people and their customs, and... ah, I'm getting carried away." She said sheepishly. She often went off on a rant of sorts when it came to her love of books. Final_Crucible Hiros just watched her blush as he listened to her words, and slowly his smile brightened, "You seem to know just what you enjoy most in the world of litature. I too love the way you can escape everything. Taffy, the eldest in the family, says that I never get out, when in reality I have been in more places than she has..." He glanced away before looking back, hoping his glance would help her in fixing her blush. Karalen Kukki let out a soft sigh as he cheeks felt normal again, then gave a small smile to Hiros, glancing at him and turning her head towards him slightly. "I've been to many places. I've sat with King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and I saw a black horse that touched people's lives. I've walked with a boy who had great expectations, and I traveled with nine companions on their quest to destroy a ring." She stopped, wondering if Hiros wanted her to go on. Final_Crucible Hiros watched her talk and waited for her to go on, but realized she paused a little too long and it seemed she was done for the moment. Moving to stand, Hiros nodded slowly, "I have read thoes stories too, but I have also read tales about a girl who had nothing but a journal and a destiny to face as she traveled across this world in search for her true love, and a cure on 7 siblings that could only be broken by the youngest and purest. There have been tales and aventures I went on in a wizard world, and I have been to the page training grounds and back again..." He smiled brightly to her as he jumped and pounced, acting out each tale as if her were a part of it, and in the end he poinced from the couch he had jumped upon to slide back towards her side. Karalen Kukki smiled widely at his explanation and leaped up herself, acting out whatever she spoke with excitement. "I've flown with a dragon with her dragon tamer, unknowingly flying towards a huge journey that would end the war of the world. I've survived with an Indian girl, who was left behind by her people on an island shaped like a dolphin, and avoided attacks from the wild dogs. I've journeyed with three children to unlock a secret garden, one that would grow and give healing magic to everyone. And I've been to a wizarding world myself, where a school of witchcraft and wizardry goes up against the dark forces of magic!" She ended by jumping up on a table, posing dramatically as if to fight off a dark force, then grinned as she stepped down, going back to Hiros with her tail wagging. Final_Crucible Hiros grinned impishly, his eyes dancing as they watched her and he almost swore he could picture everything she acted out behind her as if she were on stage. Standing he nodded to her and grinned, "Seems as if we both have the passion that most lack when it comes to reading..." He said with a laugh, his tail swinging back and forth, much different from it's dragging on his way to there. Karalen "That we do!" Kukki replied, still smiling widely. Sure, Takikori shared the same passion as her, but he'd only smile and nod if she tried to act out anything. She sat close again, a just a few inches short of her usual two-foot-spot. "I've never been able to just let go and talk about reading like this with anyone before..." Final_Crucible Hiros looked towards her and smiled, leaning closer from his spot but not moving otherwise, "It is always nice to meet someone who understands...as well as it is nice to know the first person I met outside of my family...besides that anti-social deejarne who didnt want to talk...was someone who loves to read just like me..." He leaned back to where he was and smiled, looking towards the window as he just let his tail slide lazyly back and forth, relaxed. Karalen Kukki looked towards the window as well, content with just sitting by Hiros for the moment. Here was a Dream that wouldn't tear her books apart, or read too fast and accidentally turn the page when she wasn't done yet, or hit on her while she read, or have candles squeaking and bouncing on her books. This was perfect. Final_Crucible Not really sure what to say, Hiros had spent the time sitting thinking about what he could strike conversation about, and slowly he turned to blink and watch her for a moment, until he decided to suddenly ask.
"So...Tell me about your family..." He blushed lightly, and mentally hit himself for thinking that was the best question he had to ask her. Karalen "Ah, my family..." Kukki started, thinking this was the perfect subject to talk about. "I'm the oldest of my family, and one of two girls. The boy after me, Lloyd, is stubborn and sometimes rude, sometimes cool. He likes to tear my books apart." She said with a frown. "Target practice... he has twin blades, and he says that he can't fight other targets, but I beg to differ... anyway...
"My second brother, Takikori, is a Deejarne, a water one. He's the kindest soul you'll ever meet. He treats everyone the same, with the exception of Ejhani." Her eyes lightened up as she smiled. "It seems he's fallen in love with that Deejarne... but with other Dreams, he's very kind and considerate, willing to let the other be happy.
"The next one, Magician, is kinda antisocial, but only towards normal Dreams. Tarot Dreams, now, he'll talk to them for forever. He has two candles with him called Hika and Kage, and... they're... so... annoying. They screech and whine and wail and bounce... ugh.
"Zerin... he flirts with everyone and everything." Kukki muttered, rolling her eyes over her idiot brother. "He doesn't care what the Dream may think, he'll just keep hitting on them, boy and girl alike. He'd probably breed with them if given the oppurtunity...
"Finally, there's Autumn, the newest addition. She's a Whisp now, and is a Season Dream. She's of the fall season, and she's extremely shy now... I bet she'll come around once it's in her season."
She smiled a bit and tilted her head at Hiros. "That's my family... what about yours?" Final_Crucible Hiros shifted before sitting, knowing he had a lot to say as he looked to the ceiling, deep in thought so he didnt miss a person.
"Firstly is the oldest and the wises of us all, a fancie named Taffy. She is like the mother hen so to speak, she takes care of everyone and doesnt think about herself. She dreamed with this strange dream named Jack, and now all she can think about is him...time to time we see her starring at the sea, thinking about 'Captain Jack' no doubt...
She had a son, like I said, a deejarne of Earth who dresses like humans and always is with Taffy, watching over her and making her feel safe. He doesnt come out a lot, he doesnt like to fight so he hates nowhere, but he is kind none the less. He is named Jack, after his father...
There is my other older sister, Evvy, she is a poison dream, so she is big. She got in a fight with her friend but now is with a deejarne and they just came from the fire temple. She is strong but she is all bark, and loves to just play with the youngest ones in our family. She has a daughter, a nightmare in face, rare these days. Mania is her name, and she causes a lot of trouble, being like she is. She is a mixture of pure and taint, but she is loved by all and loves the family, the cute kid...
I am the third oldest, and after me are two deejarne, Melantha a fire deejarne and Phyre an air deejarne. Phyre is an easygoing, sweet deejarne who has a strong will to protect thoes she loves, but she is always happy. Mel dissapeared a few weeks ago to get stronger, she wanted to be as strong as she could. Thoes two and Evvy are Nightmare hunters...though they are on break now..." He paused and caught his breath, "Following so far?" Karalen Kukki smiled reassuringly and nodded, then laid down, resting her head on her paws and gazing up at Hiros, signalling for him to go on. She loved her family dearly, and she hoped that Hiros felt the same about his own. Then they'd have two of the same passions. Final_Crucible Hiros smiled to her and looked up again, thinking once more.
"So after the two deejarne is my friend Barrett, he doesnt get out much, but he has this gun arm where he hobbles. The poor guy wont tell a dream what happened to him, only Final knows, but he is very loyal and loves to fight for what is right, in his mind that is...
Than is the one who is amazing in her own way, a mute named Candle. She is a yudou, or whatever Final calls her, and she can talk like whisps do. She doesnt use her mouth, but her mind. She is anti-social to strangers, but thoes who she connects with are always at her side, like this one named Atashi...but that is another story all together...
I am sure you know Thor, he is from another dreams dream, but Final watches him like he were her own, and we have this other whisp...dont know his name but he just arrived, a mystery all together...
And that is my large family, a bunch of strange creatures, but all together they are loyal to eachother and fight to defend eachother, it is cute...in a way..." He blushed and looked to her. Karalen "You do have a large family..." Kukki replied, smiling at Hiros' blush. "I have a feeling mine will grow too... Karalen loves to gain Dreams, and..." She smiled a little wider as her eyes took on a whistful look. "Takikori told me that he and Ejhani were heading towards the Earth Temple... Something special is supposed to happen, though I have no idea what..." Final_Crucible Choosing not to say anything about the temple yet, Hiros knew just what went on there. Dreams went there to dream and create new ones to fill the world, he knew all about it from what he learned about from his sister.
Sighing, he watched her as he just nodded, listening to what she had to say. Karalen Kukki smiled and kept speaking, feeling at peace with Hiros around. She hoped he felt the same way, hoped he didn't mind her talking to him as if pouring her life's story to him. Of course, that story wasn't long at all...

Dear Journal,
It is still hard to deal with things, final says that tomorrow is school, and I was built off of her fears for the said subject. I know everything she does, but it is more the fact that I feel her fear of not succeding. She is pushed so hard, and if she doesnt do well in this year, she wont do well next time. She is doing student council, and also has soccer, so I dont know how she will manage time...but it might mean no computer, her favorite thing, and no playing with us. I don't want her to go...

I know this journal has died...I guess it is my lack of passion anymore...maybe that is why I am leaving this account for a few weeks...
...no passion...no love...just dislike, hate...
...I know how I feel, I feel cold, alone, ignored, disliked...heck I am sure I am even strongly hated by a few people...so I am taking a break, and giving everyone else one too.
