Some of you may have heard of that special star that appears on the sky of the Spiraglades a few times a year, that sometimes grants the wish of those gladiers that gaze upon it..
Mute, shy little Esha(the dark girl on the right) has a big heart, but only limited means of expressing herself. Being nocturnal also hasn't helped with her never-ending quest for friends and that special someone.

The female's name itself means wish, and indeed, her heart's fondest wish has always been to find true love. Night after night, she'd gaze up to the heavens and silently hope for a miracle, for she wanted someone to cherish and share her sometimes lonesome moonlit existence.
Then one certain night, she decided to try and wish on that special star she had heard stories of.

Finally, her prayers for a soulmate were answered, and this is where YOU step in!

This gent was made for Esha, and Esha alone, so there is no breaking this couple. As a perk though, once a RP requirement of 50 replies from both players is met, they will be granted a free breeding. So you'll ultimately get two pets out of this deal. <3
As I'm big on RP, I figured it only fitting to have the male given away with a little story contest. I will be very happy to work towards the breeding, but I get incredibly busy IRL at times and my muse can be fickle - and I know this applies for other people as well, so it may take a little while. I'm patient though, so as long as you're committed as well I have no problem working towards the breeding little by little.

This contest will be open until 6PM EDT, July 14th.
Prompt in next post!

Here's Esha's wish from the Mother's Day breeding contest thread, to give you a better picture of what the female is like, and to give you some background story to work with.

Esha's wish
Little Esha had heard that sometimes, stars would grant your heart's fondest wish. While it was a somewhat childish notion, she found it a wonderful thought. She'd never wished on a star yet, as she wanted to be absolutely certain of what she wanted before she did so. She wouldn't want to bother the stars with silly nonsense, no no! Only the most special and important wish would do.
Tonight, she lay on her usual rock in the middle of her favorite flower field. She noticed a few shooting stars in the corner of her eye, and turned her head slightly. Then, her gaze fixed on a star that shone much brighter than even the North Star. Was this the special star she had been waiting for? She had finally discovered the thing she wished for the most in all of the world.

Slowly, she sat up, sweeping her hair out of her face with one paw, turning to fully face the bright star she was gazing upon. Her heart pounding a little, she crossed her paws in front of her.
"Oh, star.. I have a wish I would give anything to have come true", she thought, being unable to speak but trusting that the star would understand her. "I dearly wish I had someone, someone by my side to share the nights with, someone to curl up beside in my den when the dawn breaks.." her eyes slowly welled up, for being nocturnal did indeed often mean a life of solitude. She had an elder sister who shared this trait, and she had been lucky enough to find a kindred spirit, and they'd been blessed with numerous offspring. "I wish I had a life even a little like my sister's - a mate and eventually a family of my own, for it's lonely like this.."

A single tear rolled down the Spica's cheek, falling onto her paw.
"Being mute, it's very difficult to even make friends. Oh, kind little star, please let me meet someone I could communicate with even without words. I wish to love, and be loved. I want nothing more in the entire world", she sniffled silently, wiping her eyes, laying back down on the rock, her gaze still fixed on the star. She smiled faintly, her tears drying slowly as she remained still for a while longer, hopeful that her wish would come true eventually.



The prompt

As your entry, I'd like you to tell how the male ultimately meets Esha. What are his thoughts? Does he have his own quirks or shortcomings, such as Esha's muteness? Is he quiet like her, or a complementing contrast of her timid personality, or maybe just her polar opposite?

You can write in first or third person, whichever your preference is. I'd also want to know what you would name the male - I have a preference towards names related to nighttime, celestial bodies, dreams, wishes and such, but it's not a must.

Name: Mayonaka (Midnight in Japanenese)

Whats He like: He talks a lot but isn't loud for the most part, very out going, a bit of a klutz. He trips and falls all the time over the littlest things but he will stand back up and laugh it off. He is a bit slow some times but is very patient and kind. He just wants everyone to have a good time.

Prompt reply: Well the stars heard the lonely little females wish and couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. They wanted to weep with the girl. So the stars gathered and talked among themselves. They decided that they would grant the girl her wish but she wouldn't know it and neither would the boy they sent to her. The star she wished on took it upon itself to create the male. He would fit her perfectly and be her opposite. So the star worked hard and sent him down to earth but a distance away for her field. This would give him time to adjust to life. Before the star left it whispered in his ear, "Your name is Mayonaka."

The star watched over them both. It lead Mayonaka threw the nights and kept Esha company in hopes that she wouldn't give up. Mayonaka followed the star every night until wee hours of the morning when he would than find somewhere to sleep. He didn't understand why but he felt this pull. Something in his head was telling him that he needed to follow the star. That it would lead him to where he belonged. This made him excited even if he really didn't understand why. So on his journey he would sing happy tunes to pass the time and keep him company.

On the last night the star shone brighter. Tonight was the night that they would meet. The little boy was in the forest that surrounded Esha's field of flowers. It couldn't wait to see what happened.

Mayonaka stumbled his way threw a forest. Even with his star shining above him guiding him to some unknown place it was still dark on the forest floor where he was traveling. He made it to the edge and spotted a beautiful field of flowers. He rushed forward to get a better look not seeing a tree's root sticking out of the ground and ended up face planting right into the ground. As he hit letting out a loud " Umph!" This caught the attention of Esha who was sitting on her rock. It surprised her because most slept during the night so she didn't get any visitors. She sniffed the air and found that it was an unknown person. She went over to investigate being unable to call out to the traveler.

A shadow drifted over Mayonaka. This finally made him pull his face out of the dirt. He looked up to see this beautiful female standing above him, her outlined glowed. He smiled at her "Hello there. Did you know your very pretty?" He didn't know where that came from but it felt right to say. Everything just felt right. He slowly sat up so not to bump her. His tail wagged behind him and he couldn't stop smiling. "My name is Mayonaka."

The star watched happily from the sky as the two started to interact. It felt that it had done a good job creating this little boy for her. And that was how it all started.

Name: Amun
Meaning: Egyptian myth name of a god of wind and air, meaning the hidden one
Personality: A regal and polite Gladier, Amun is a brooding royal at first glance. He doesn't like excessive noise and tends to avoid larger gatherings as a result. However, those who grow to know him quickly find him to be a gentle and understanding person. However, the appearance of nobility diminishes when Amun gets nervous, as he will begin talking at rapid-fire pace--and usually drops so many vowels and consenants that it's near impossible to understand him.
Prompt:
The star sighed as it listened to the endless stream of wishes that met it ears, each one louder and more selfish than the last. Just as it was about to dim its light and end the stream of requests, a meek, quiet wish began. The star twinkled as it fixed its full attention on the pure, heartfelt wish. 'This,' it decided, 'is the wish I'll grant.' But how to grant it? It could not force another Gladier to love her. And few of the males also wishing for love met even one of the requested traits. Someone nocturnal that would both love and understand the mute female... 'Ugh. It would almost be easier to do it myself.' The star paused, expounding on the thought. Well, why didn't it? The star didn't enjoy the meticulous wish-granting as much as it would've liked; there were simply too many greedy, selfish, and downright strange wishes. And it had always wondered what it would be like, to live down there...

'It's decided, then.' It--no, he--would fulfill the wish himself. He would be the answer to Esha's request.

The wishing star dropped from the night sky, leaving no trace behind to show it had ever been there.

A thunderous sound erupted from the ground as the wishing star crashed into it, dirt flying through the air at the edge of Esha's flower field. The star-turned-Gladier groaned in the little crater the impact had made, trying to get to his feet as the light of his former life dissipated. 'Jello,' he thought wearily as he collapsed against the side of the crater, unable to find the strength to climb out. 'My legs feel like jello.' This nasea would pass, wouldn't it? He wouldn't feel like this all the time, right?

Amun turned his attention to the silent Gladier peering wide-eyed into his crater, smiling weakly at her. "Hello," he managed to croak, his throat caked with dust. He coughed few times before continuing, his orange eyes trying to keep their focus. "I don't suppose you'd believe me if I told you I was a wishing star, would you?"

Name: Astraeus (Titan god of stars and astronomy)
Personality: Cheerful; child-like; optimistic; helpful; affectionate; energetic
Prompt: The first thing Astraeus saw was a dark blue sky filled with speckled lights. Wide eyes stared into the darkness. Vaguely, he could feel his long ears twitch and a lock of blond hair brushed against his cheek as he cocked his head. A shaky paw reached for one of the lights, but he quickly realized that he was far too small for the humongous task of grasping a star. He turned around, the bristles of grass tickling his fur. Astraeus giggled as he planted himself to the ground and pawed at the green blades. This is when he realized he had markings on himself.

“Hm?” He lifted a paw and stared at it with wide eyes, which curiously took in the gold swirls painted on his dark fur. A thought suddenly struck him like lightning. Did he have similar markings all over his body?! The idea sent him into a flustered panic. Astraeus stood on all fours and hastily attempted to examine the rest of his body. He spun around and around until he began to see stars—not quite like the ones that light up the sky—and he fell onto his back again. To calm his dizzy mind he shut his eyes and placed his paws over them to keep them closed. Astraeus rolled onto his side. “Uuu…”

Once the world stopped spinning something inside him urged him to look up at the sky again, so he did. The stars up above are tiny and far away, but their glow still comforted to him for some reason. He did not know for how long he lay in the grass star-watching, but he felt like he did it for a long time, for such a long time that it’s like he could hear them whispering in his ears. Astraeus, Astraeus. You have to get up and find her. Pouting, he rolled onto his stomach and sprawled across the grass. “Who?” You’ll know, Astraeus. You’ll know. It was a collection of soft voices that melted together. “Don’t wanna.” They were laughing quietly. Oh, but you have to, Astraeus.

He was already on all fours and softly treading through the grass. “Don’t wanna.” They chuckled.

Astraeus kept walking. Sometimes he stopped to stare at a pretty flower. Sometimes he stopped because he was tired, but still the stars gently whispered in his ear. Don’t go that way. You have to keep moving. So he did.

He wanted to stop. He really did. He was tired and he had been walking for…how long? He didn’t know, but it must have been for a very long time before he spotted something in the nearby distance. Astraeus lowered himself until he disappeared beneath the tall grass. He crept slowly through the grass until he was within pouncing distance.

Then he pounced.

Turns out he landed on a creature like himself. Astraeus cocked his head. What….Oh! “You have markings kinda like mine!” He pawed at a few of the glowing swirls before he slid off. Smiling, Astraeus reached out to bat at one of her ears. “I’m Astraeus.”
