<-How I got Nekura->
There's a knock upon the door! eek Who is it? It's a servant from the governor's manor. In his arms, he carries what seems like a large bundle of blankets. There is also a letter:
"Dear Sir Cordain,
Please forgive me the burden I am about to place upon you. I was recently informed that our martial arts instructor has departed from the village on urgent business. The situation was such that she was unable to take her child with her. Before she left, she requested that the child be adopted by another villager. I have received word from her, and she has requested that you become the new father of Nekura. I accept her decision, and hope that you will have the patience, compassion, and discipline to raise this abandoned fae. Please take care.
Regards,
Chiaku"
Upon conclusion of the letter, the bundle the servant is carrying quivers, releasing a high-pitch, angry scream.

Nekura Has Found a New Master!
Nekura's Phase I Information:
Speech: A child whose entire vocabulary consists of screaming and yelling. He throws tantrums on a regular basis and screams as soon as someone turns away from him.
Appearance: Nekura seems to be a strange hybrid between his seedling form and fae form. A flower grows atop his head, and his wings are actually an overgrown set of pink petals. As one who stands out among others, his hair and eyes are vibrant, spring colors.
Abnormalities: For an energetic child, there will be problems with his large, cumbersome "wings." These wings drag along the floor if he attempts to walk, easily tearing the fragile composition if he is not careful. Additionally, they hinder his movement, causing difficulties if he wishes to move quickly or maneuver about.
Behavior: It is difficult to match the energy and violence of this child. He has a habit of picking up objects and flinging them as hard as possible at whoever is nearby. If around other children or animals his own size, he may try to attack them by either pulling on them or pushing them down. Besides when he is sleeping, he seems to be in a constant state of demand and anger, crying frequently or resorting to violence when he does not have his way.
Special Event for Cordain
EEK! eek Nekura is starting to throw a tantrum again! What's he screaming about now? ...It's...a dead bird? Yuck! xp
SPECIAL EVENT for Cordain!
EEK! You hear a screech coming from the little tyrant! Oh, no...heads up! eek There's a vase coming right at your head!
Chiaku SPECIAL EVENT for Cordain!
Yikes...Nekura...he looks... Where did he get those clothes from!? gonk Something's happened to him!
Nekura's Phase II Information:
Speech: Although young for age, Nekura has developed a habit for taunting others. He belittles the humans he meets, using sarcasm with an obvious superiority complex. When interacting with the other children, he generally is silently apathetic. He calls his master "pig" and "human" rather than addressing Cordain by an appropriate title. Also, he is still prone to fits of violent rage and yelling.
Appearance: Nekura has started wearing a strange costume he found somewhere...That mask is a little creepy, and yet it reminds you of something familiar...?
Abnormalities: The large petal-like wings that Nekura has had from birth have grown massively. Made from softer matter, the fae can wrap them around himself much like a cloak.
Behavior: After an unhappy childhood, Nekura has developed a somewhat split personality. When he is not brooding quietly alone, he attacks others violently with both his words and his fists. It isn't a matter of being overdramatic, as there is real rage behind Nekura's actions. If he feels even slightly insulted or endangered, he will immediately spring into attack-mode. Also, he refuses to take off that strange mask...what may he be hiding?

<-- Journal -->
April 14th,
Today Nekura was given to me by Crimson, who apparently had to leave urgently and put him under my care. Nekura who was a really happy, vibrant child is now angry and violent. He is much like I was when I was forced into becoming a demon hunter. Maybe I can bring him back to the world of happiness by just caring for him and being there when he needs me...

Date Unwritten
It has been a couple days since Nekura came into my care, they have been exceptionally trying, he refuses to co-operate and since he has grown to a youth, has begun to refer to me as human or pig depending on his mood. He has also acquired a strange half-mask that he refuses to remove from his face no matter what, and the lower half of his face is hidden beneath a scarf. I fear that he is going to willingly become like I nearly became, a cold blooded killer with no remorse...
I sincerely believe that what he needs most right now is love, and as I write this after Faevan was kind enough to return him to me, I pray that the other villagers and myself will be able to bring him back to the joyous child he was with Crimson, otherwise I fear for us if he walks the path of darkness.

Date: Spring 11th
Nekura's swordsmanship is improving quickly, soon I'll have to step up the training. Hopefully he'll stick with this and help Zeejay and I protect this village from those demonic fae.
I still see those two fae in my dreams, no not dreams, nightmares, I see them with that fae they held, eating and devouring him, and then the rest of the fae. They then always move on to the villagers, I can hear thier screams and see thier pain when I close my eyes.
This is just like back when I was a demon hunter in the Solaris Combine, nightmares, every night, maybe the priests were right, maybe my soul is just too receptive to demonic taint. I just hope we avoid the Raikado massacre from repeating here, I don't want to see more friends torn and decimated from our own failings and another person close to me mortally wounded to waste away comatosed again.
I miss you Serisa, I'm so sorry to your father that I could not protect you and that we did not survive long enough and get married like we had agreed to.

SPECIAL EVENT for Cordain!
What's that strange noise outside? It's Nekura... Oh, no! He's been stomping on these bugs! gonk
Quote: Cordain gave a groan as he heard the back door of the inn swing shut. He promptly moved from the main room to the kitchen, then out back. There he found Nekura, who was stomping on bugs. With a confused look upon his face he asked, "Nekura...Why are you stomping on bugs?" "One of them bit me so I'm punishing the rest of them!" Nekura spat out as he turned to Cordain, still in his pajamas. He looked very displeased and had a small welt on the back of his hand.Cordain gave a deep sigh as he moved over to Nekura, "Let me see." he snatched his hand out to grab Nekura's before he could pull it away from Cordain's reach. After a few silent seconds of looking at the bite Cordain smiled, "It's nothing to worry about, it's just a small bite...But Nekura, you can't punish all of the bugs for the actions of just one. They had nothing to do with it. Punishing them would be pointless..." Nekura just looked at Cordain, his turn to be confused. He understood what the human was saying but at the same time he didn't want to understand. He just wanted to be angry, but this human had to go and ruin it.

_____________________________________________________
________|___|| THE DAY: Spring 12 ||___|________Location: Astora Village
Season: Spring 12
Time: MidnightOOC: Yes, I stole that from chiaku! Moments before the clocks struck midnight, Cordain quietly slipped through Astora Village. In his hands he held pins and a pile of notes. His first goal for that night was Faevan's farmhouse. Silent as he could manage he crept up to Faevan's door and left a note upon it addressed to Faevan. Quote: Dear Faevan, I will be gone for a time with Nekura. I am taking him with me on a camping trip out of Astora in the hopes he and I will bond and he will at the very least begin to trust me. I will miss talking with you, and serving you and Dio the vegetable stew, and look forward to the next time we shall met. -Cordain With that note placed, he returned to the majority of Astora and made his way to the front door of Chiaku's place and pinned to it, another note. Quote: Dear Chiaku, I am aware you would be against this decision of mine but I have taken Nekura and myself out of Astora village to go up into the mountains on a camping trip. It is my hope that this will help Nekura and me to bond and foster trust with him. Be warned, Zeejay's wounds were from human attackers that are from her past, they may show up again, if they, Fade's weapons can be found in the floor beneath the bed in the innkeeper's bedroom. Hopefully it will not come to that. I have also left the inn in the care of Sai and Kizzy while I am gone. -Cordain Quietly, silently he moved through the village once again, this time to the inn itself. He left two more notes, one upon the door to Sai's room, the other upon the door to the room Zeejay was occupying. Quote: Dear Sai, Nekura and I are going camping, the inn is in your care until we get back, I left instructions on how to make the dishes in the spice cupboard down in the kitchen. -Cordain Quote: Dear Zeejay, Take care of yourself and get better. Once you are healthy take care of everyone else, I'll be gone on a camping trip with Nekura for awhile, the two of us need this and hopefully he and I will bond and he'll begin to trust me. -Cordain Lastly, he left a note tagged to Seriva's armor before he moved on to awaken Nekura quietly. Quote: Dear Seriva, I will be gone for awhile Seriva, take care of your mother for me and I'll miss both of you while I am gone. I know you want to know where I am going, I decided Nekura and I needed to spend time together, and that would be best acheived away from everyone else. Wish me luck in helping Nekura become a nicer, trusting fae. -Cordain ----- Nekura grumbled as he was awakened by Cordain, "Let me sleep you stupid human." he muttered out before he rolled over.Cordain rolled his eyes and picked Nekura up, "We can sleep later, we're leaving Astora for now." he stated as he carried the once again sleeping Nekura out of his room. Upon his back was a large leather backpack, set up for camping. As quietly as he could Cordain carried Nekura and his backpack out of Astora, and by the time morning arrived, they were well away from the forest and off towards the destination he had selected, some nearby mountains.
