 In a valley nearly constantly draped in shadow lies a house among long grass and fireflies, in the glowing house lives two humans and a most interesting creature but something lies a secret to all but one of the house's inhabitants but one. A journal hidden away in a hidden room that can only be accessed by a key worn around the neck of the houses owner, Serathym. Temeos (c) Karoish 2007 Visit the shop at

The Story Of Ai
A small boy frolicked through the snow ladened valley as his sister called his name gently "Noel, lets go inside, you and I especially have had a long day" she said. He agreed sullenly and they walked to the porch which was just as they had left it at 5 am except now it was fully in shadow, that and there was now a new thing on the porch a black covered bottle that was shaking as though it was shivering most violently. "OH DEAR! THE TEM CAME! IT MUST OF BEEN OUT HERE FOR HOURS" screamed Sera as she checked the thermometer, it read a solid 20 degrees Fahrenheit. She scooped the bottle up, and sensing the seriousness of the situation noel ran after her into the house. Sera sat the bottle down on the table but instead decided to hold it because its shaking would be the end of it if she placed it high up. "Heres you mission buddy! go stir the stew it was over the fire all day, and try and find a way to warm up the bottle! Can you cork the spout for now hun?" She handed him the tremoring bottle and he fought to keep hold of it as he went to the kitchen. As he got in the kitchen and say the steaming cauldron of soup a thought hit him. He found his mother's cooking gloves and he held the bottle above the soup. But suddenly the gloves became slippery on his sweating hands. The soup was boiling and the bottle and the gloves fell in.
Sera was gathering blankets when she heard a blood curdling scream. She ran quickly to the kitchen to find Noel on the ground with the bottle writhing, the bottle had stopped shaking but noel was crying hysterically. "NOEL WHAT HAPPENED?!" she screamed as she finally saw his arms, they were red as cherries and the skin was peeling and blistering. She recognized immediately the serious burns, and having understood she grabbed the boy around his waist and rushed outside with him, she held the bottle and him close to her heart. Quickly she took the bottle from him and set it on the porch and then proceeded to to run into a large collection of snow and then scooped snow onto his arms and rubbed it onto them. He began to cry less and he said that the area and skin there were quite numb. But as Sera cooed over him he broke away and grabbed the bottle and held it close. She carried him back inside and as he told her the story of how he had accidently dropped it in the boiling soup and how he had plunged his arms into the boiling soup to rescue it. When asked why he had risked his arms to save the Tem he said it was his other sister and that he loved her. She held Noel who held the bottle in an arm chair by the warm fire place as she sung a lullaby and told him that she was going to call Hotaru "ai" for short because they both loved Hotaru so much. They both fell asleep the bottle bubbling happily against both of their chests.

Tem-Sitting. Noel Style! 
"Noel hunny, I have to go to work till 8pm today, could you baby sit Ai?"
"Sure Sera, but you dont baby sit temeos you either tem-sit or bottle-sit, but anyway bye Sister!"
As the door closed noel danced a silly little dance of happiness at his newfound chance to show his sister he was mature. But then he remembered that he ought to get to tem-sitting but he didn't quite know how to with the bottle of liquid. So he thought of what sera used to do when she babysat him when he was younger, their mother and father had died when sera was around 10 and so she had to become a mother in a hurry to the 4 year old noel. "Hm lesse," he said to himself "I liked eating the cookies she made me, we watched TV, she'd play games with me, we'd go outside and play with the fireflies when it got dark, and we'd take pictures together with the gaiaroid camera!" After those things he had to admit that he thought he knew what to do. He first proceeded to bake cookies, his sister had taught him how to cook with the stove, oven, and microwave when he was seven so he knew he was allowed. The cookies were warm chewy sugar cookies that warmed you right up. He chewed on one and then he wondered how exactly he'd let the Ai have some. He was inspired for a moment, he took the cork of the tem bottle and then crumbled some sugar cookies into the bottle. After that he sat down with bottle he faced the spout towards the TV and turned on all my gaians and watched for 3 hours. After that he looked around the house until he found the cupboard with the gaiaroid camera in it. He took about 50 snapshots with the bottle as it bubbled and shook happily. The camera ran out of film but finally noel looked out the window to see that the sun had set behind the mountains and the fireflies were out. He skipped out the door with the bottle in tow and he realized that it glowed just like the fireflies in the dark "My sissy was right to name you Hotaru!" he said happily and he ran after the fireflies and swatted at them with boyish glee. It neared seven and he got quite tired and it appeared the bottle was as well, it only fizzed weakly instead of bubbling merrily as it had been before. Noel walked into the house and laid down with ai in her room in her bed and then fell asleep together. Sera came home to find them on the bed together and she woke them from there nap to eat some stew and then fell asleep with them in ai's bed

Going to the shop, an Interactive RPSerathym
Sera brought the bottle to the shop where she found a temeo. "Oh hullo there! So you're what my Ai will look like when she vaporizes?" The bottle shook happily and fizzed making a sort of sqquueeeee sound
Shikai-Chan Shi was back visiting the shop with Kasha, the un-emerged bottle in her hands. Anika and Rahu followed her while glancing about curiously. She spotted Sera and walked over. "Hello! I see you've got yourself a wild temeo also." Serathym "Yeah! I'm so excited, it's my first temeo, I cant wait to have her emerge, I named her Hotaru, it means firefly, I named her that because she glows! Oh, sorry I'm rambling," Sera held out a hand to Shi for her to shake, "It's nice to meet you I'm Sera, you are?" Shikai-Chan "I'm Shikai but some people call me Shi. This here," She holds up the stripped wild temeo bottle, "is Kasha. She hasn't emerged yet." "Those two are Anika and Rahu." The two temeos bobbed their heads in greeting. "Oh, I'm sure you'll love having temeos around. But I've never heard of a glowing one!" Anika and Rahu soom got bored and ran outside to explore a little. Serathym Sera peered mystified at the striped bottle, "ooh and I've never seen a striped wild temeo bottle! And I like the name Kasha, I suppose that Hotaru will have to meet Kasha when they both emerge! And well met Shi, it is a relief to finally meet another tem owner," she said a little rushed. She always spoke fast when she got giddy and nervous, and meeting a tem owner and having a tem was just enough to cause that giddiness. Shikai-Chan "Yea! I'm excited about Kasha and I'm sure the two will be great friends!" She laughed how Sera started speaking fast. Luckily, she could still understand the other girl. "Oh they're a lot of people other than me. You'll surely meet them soon." Serathym "Ah yeah, I cant wait! I'll have to bring noel over here some time, he is my younger brother," she said her voice speed finally leveling out. She smiled cheerfully at Shi, "I really wish she'd come out of that bottle, I want to see her" and as she said that the bottle began to bubble and fizz as if it was agreeing Shikai-Chan "The more the merrier," Shi laughed. "and I think Hotaru agree with you, eager to see the world. I think she'll have wings like Anika. Gosh Anika was a handful trying to flap all over the place." Serathym "Ooh dear, a handful doesn't sound good right now, but perhaps she'll be a very calm youth," "but do you think Kasha will have wings?" Sera was still very new to all of this, she thought about it, "Can you tell me some things I will need to know to be a successful owner?" Shikai-Chan "It's not too bad. Oh no, Kasha won't. You see how Hotaru has a wing ingraved on her leather? Well, Kasha's bottle doesn't," Shi noted pointing to each bottle accordingly. She then seemed thoughful at Sera's question. "Well, it's good to keep the wilds from getting too dependent on you since they'll have to return to the group once they've grown." Serathym "That is one thing that I do know about, but, I am most reluctant to accept," she said, she looked down at the ground, her eyes watering a bit. But she looked up, this would just mean that she'd prepare Hotaru as much as possible and enjoy every minute they had together. "I suppose it has to happen," she said with a grin back on her face. Shikai-Chan "I'm sure they'll be much happier back with the others," Shi smiled imagining how silly with happiness Anika would surely be. "Hopefully we can visit once in a while..." Serathym "Yeah perhaps I can bring her some cinnamon toast and meet her mate and bebes if she has some" Sera was enjoying talking to chi, it was calming her down about the frightening prospect of losing her temeo when it grew up. Shikai-Chan Shi was estatic at the thought. "Oh imagine if Anika had littles ones. How adorable would that be. Then, I'll really have to come and check them out. I wonder if they'll have wings too." Serathym "Aw, that'll be so cute, but it seems from what I've heard that there are not many fully grown wild males around at this time," she thought to herself, wondering if Hotaru would be a picky dater, she laughed at herself "Haha, I am thinking of mates for Hotaru when she hasn't even exitted her bottle yet, you must think me very silly" She shrugged to Shi and laughed heartily at herself Shikai-Chan Shi laughed. "Na, it's something we foster parents do. Sadly, Anika's still runs out of the room whenever I bring up the subject. Serathym Sera giggled happily, "Haha, Anika sounds like she's quite funny, hopefully Hotaru will be excited about having a mate, though I doubt she'd tell me who she likes" as Sera said this the bottle whirred happily and made another sqquuueeeeeee noise.

Event!
Vaporization.
With the enormous amount of activities around, the bottle bubbled and nearly hopped around with excitement. It was dying to take part in all what was going on!
And, impatient, the bottle began to heat up abruptly, shaking as the glass could hardly contain the furiously vaporizing little being. The wooden cork flew right of as the vapor began pouring out, quickly settling to materialize the creature hidden within.
Congratulations, your tender loving care has made your Temeo emerge.
If image appears a bottle, please refresh.

Preparations: A view from Ai
I woke up groggily at 6 am and as I turned over in bed I realized that I could turn. I quickly ran to a mirror to observe my finally real body, the lights were dim in the room so everything green including my eyes glowed brilliantly. A shocking realization hit me as I looked at my back, "I have wings!" I shouted to myself with glee. For the time being they only barely lifted me off the ground but the sensation was overwhelming. Being able to move without the trippiness of feet was amazing. But where had Sera gone I thought to myself. Where was the voice that had sung me lullablies and had told me about the world and about temeo behavior. I slid down the stairs, I tripped while running and then decided to fly down the stairs instead. Then I scrambled into the kitchen where I smelled a most intoxicating smell. Cinnamon toast!, I realized quickly, Sera had told me about this tasty mouth watering treat. Sera greeted me as I entered the room with a tight squeezehug. "Today I'll spoil you Ai, but tommorow love, you ultimate lesson will be taught." she said to me which worried me, but the perfume of the cinnamon toast wafted into my brain and dulled my worry down." During the day Sera recounted me with all the beauties and amazing things of the world while she fed me cinnamon toast. But as the night grew on, I worried about what tomorrow would hold in store for me.

The Trials and Lessons: A view from AiI was woken early on the day after I had learned of the most beautiful things in the world by Sera. "Is there cinnamon toast?" I asked sera with a hopeful look on my face. She had a grim expression on her face as she told me to get up. For the next hour she explained all the traditions and about the temeo world. But then Sera's expression become more sad as she explained that she was going to put me into the wild in a forest and allow me to fend for myself. The only thing she was going to give me was a battery powered TV stuck on a news channel. She explained that she was trying to show me the worst, truest, and most sad parts of the world. She blindfolded me and drove me out until we were in a dark wood. I wasnt really all that worried, but I figured I should observe my surroundings. Dark and gnarled oak trees interweved and formed a deep thicket of almost thistle looking branches. The grass was dead in patches but the parts that weren't dead were heavily weeded and overgrown. Thistled plants grew in the forest their prickers caught in my legs as I entered the edge of the forest. I felt little droplets of blood coming from the area where the prickers had poked. Already I realized I did not like this place but I had to learn if I wanted to live when I matured. "Bye," Sera said to me with tears in her eyes. I walked deeper into the wild forest and realized the my stomach was grumbling so I looked for some berries I could eat. I settled upon a bushel of sour tasting blueberries. And then I sat down to watch the little TV. It was jammed on international news channel and as I watched I was intranced even in my horror. I saw war, horrific death, humans killing humans, humans slaughtering animals my size. Everything filled my mind with nightmare so dense that I found myself not able to say anything as hard as I tried. I eventually woke from my trance to find that at least 7 hours had passed. Once again my stomach was rumbling and I felt more angry then ever before after watching the TV. I remembered seeing slaughtered animals and I realized I ought to hunt for food. I noticed a rabbit near where I was sitting, however night was falling and I was at an advantage at night, I could see because of my glow, but to an enemy I was easily mistaken for a firefly. I waited for the cover of nightfall to come before I proceeded to search for a deer. After an hour of searching I discovered a large fawn, it was a bit bigger than I but I thought I might have a chance. I lunged at it for the first time at its thigh. It let out a cry that chilled my bones as my fangs sank into its right thigh. However this was only more of a problem the I had chosen was aggressive and before I could roll away the deer gashed two long, deep gashes in my side. I couldn't give up now though or I'd go hungry. This time I aimed at his throat and lunged. He didn't emit a sound this time, with one swift slash and yank I had ripped through his throat. After eating my share of the meat I used the fur, which I hadn't on purpose, to wrap around my gashed side, if I didn't I might get frostbite or worse gangrene. So as the sun rose I slept and waited for my owner to return and to show her of my success as a Grown Temeo Kit.

Raising a Wild: Thoughts from SeraMy Tem is growing up so fast.
She knows of good and bad
And how to ask
Her dwingling race
I know she need to return to them
Someday when she grows
I want her to grow
Her wings to help her fly
My little firefly
To whom I gave my key

Interaction and Frustration
"You'll figure it out when you grown into a fully grown adult," said Sera not looking at the kit, she was reading most avidly a novel titled Dream Merchant.
"Yeah and when is that going to be, I want it to be soon Seraaa!" Taru whined in return, the key around her neck jiggling.
"Why do you want to leave me so badly," said Sera tensely, she had put down her book and her face showed signs of anger.
Taru was surprised by the such rapid change of expression, "I just dont want to get too attached and well, there isn't anything to do till I grow" she said thinking perhaps she had crossed the line.
"You wont grow until you interact with other wild temeos your age, that interaction is key," Sera said having resumed reading her book and had calmed herself.
"WITH WHO?!" screamed taru, "All the kits you knew grew up! Now there are precious few wild kits left, and guess what an even tinnier portion are male, so good luck for me trying to find a mate," she said in a bit quieter yell.
Sera was not even perturbed she just flipped to another page in her book and read on
"Which brings up a topic you never explained, how baby temeos are made," Taru said in calm voice.
Sera had fumbled then dropped the book, and her cheeks were a furious ruby shade. She looked nervous and before she sprinted out the room into the kitchen all she said was "Actually, Noooo Interaction for You!"

Ai's Diary: Prying Mum
Taru scrawled on a black paged diary with a neon green jell pen, this had been a gift to her from Sera when she had materialized:
"Dear Diary,
Today I met a most interesting temeo, his name is Rasengan, but I call him rasen for short. I think I really like him! He's really nice and is so cute, I accidently tumbled on top of him because momiji knocked me over. We both were blushing furiou-"
Taru broke off from her writing, she had a feeling like someone was looking over her shoulder. Lo' and behold, Sera was reading over her shoulder and she asked, "Ooh what happened then?!" to Taru's dismay. Blushing seriously she slammed her diary shut and ran out of the living room and into her own, slamming the door behind her.

A Mothers BlessingSera was baking her specialty, Lemon cookies with lemon frosting with her secret recipe. The scent filled the kitchen of the temeo shop with a delicious warm lemonade smell. Taru and Rasen trundled in from outside they were giggling and nuzzling each other and it was obvious to Sera what was going on. She waved to Taru though she didn't expect much response since Taru was always very enthralled with this kit. They padded over to her and jumped up onto two barstools that were lined up against the counter top where the cookies were set. The two looked at eachother and then Taru said to Sera, "May we have your blessing, I am in love with Rasengan," she said to sera with eloquence that was newly gained. "And I with her" Rasengan said just as sweetly. Sera bowed her head and then looked up and said "Oooh my baby girl is in love," and squeezehugged her around the waist. "Mum do I have your blessing," she said keeping calm though she was fighting for air. "Of course you do hun," she said an loosened her grip amazed by the two kit's maturity. It was so different from when Taru had vaporized which was not to long ago, it was truly a wonder to Sera. Sera thought to herself 'She really has grown up, Perhaps now I should tell her how kits are made'
