[Dr. Paine]

Dropping out-- I just don't seem to have the time or energy to keep up with this one D:

[Silverhart]

Squee! ^^ Runie! It's been so long... May or may not try, but I wanted to say this Rune is gorgeous! I am super excited to see all the amazing forms that are bound to pop up!

(I'm dying to doodle Mariana and this Rune together to be honest.)

[Sneky]

Squee! Anoher water rune, a possible friend for Mizu!

Owner Name:
the.Marshmallow.Owl, but you may just call me Owl for convienence

Name:
Gwylan
I decided to go with a Translator name again, and played around with the word 'Gull' for a while until I found something that sounded cool. She likes to be called Gwyn, though.

Gender:
Hmn, this is hard. If Gwyn was a male, he and Mizu could be good friends. But is she was a female, they could be mates. As much as I would like to say Gwyn is a male, I just can't pass up the idea and story fodder of the two being mates. So Gwyn will be a female.

Personality:

Humorous
Gwyn is a very funny Rune. She enjoys telling/hearing jokes, and it is very easy to make her giggle. It is fun to watch her tell jokes, because even if I can't understand what she's chirping about to my other Runes, she makes very comical wing jestures. It's almost like a cartoon!

Bold
Even though she might seem shy at first, once you get to know her, Gwyn is a very bold rune. She has to work up some confidence, and maybe get a little bit of a pep-talk from Mizu, but she isn't afraid to stand up for what is right. She is also bold in the way she looks, believe it or not. She wears a little dragon hat, a rainbow striped scarf, and hot-pink legwarmers. It might be what you may consider a 'fashion disaster', but it certanily is bold!

Shy at First
When you first meet her, Gwyn is shy. She tends to stay reserved around strangers, because she is afraid of what will happen to her is she is too friendly. She'll often hide in the hood of my cape, or in my backpack when we go into a big public place. You could say that she's Agoraphobic, but that's not the case. Once she knows you well enough, she is loud, friendly, and sometimes a bit annoying.

Why do you wish to have him/her:
Well, as you can probably guess by now, I LOVE birds! A gull-based one that has traits of a gull/gannet was just too good to pass up. I have also always loved the water, so easy to move through when you are swimming, as if you are flying. You almost feel weightless. So the two combined have created a rune of (excuse my poor word choice here) awesomeness. Another thing is, this is a very special rune being the 1st anniversary Rune. When I discovered these almost a year ago (I was a little late to adopt), I was thinking about quitting CS. I never really had a reason to go on, so why should I still be a member? But your adopts kept me on the site, where I found other cool things, such as the Elkrin and the Fan Club. A Rune to commemerate the beginning of my favorite Adoptables would be a treasure that I would hold very dear to me.

Where will you keep him/her:
As you can see in my Sig, I have a little section dedicated to my Eldamore characters. Gwyn would have a little 'nest' in that section right next to her mate, Mizu.

Would you like to breed him/her in the future:
Even there is no more breeding for Runes, I would still like her to be able to breed. So, yes.

Any Quirks:
Well, Gwyn has a certain thing for feathers. She'll search the beach for shed feathers, and stick them behind her horns. She'll also look for decent seashells, then bring them back and make necklaces out of them. The necklaces are actually quite beautiful, and she and Mizu will give them to little children on the beach. But a weird thing she'll do when she's nervous is twidle her tail in her claws, just as a human might twirl their hair in their fingers. She only does it when she's nervous, though. it's a dead giveaway to her otherwise almost perfect 'poker face'.

✺~:Name:~✺

Leomaris

The latin originated name Leomaris means “The Lion of the Sea” a rather ironic name for this little scaredy-cat. Preferring the safety of the sky and land over the mysterious waters of the very sea he is partially dubbed of. This name represents his possible inner and hidden self. Lions are known for their pride, strength and dominance, but yet this fellow is the exact opposite at the moment. With a gaze of a youth’s curiosity and a mouth agape with wonder he is nothing, but a mere cub of the sea, but with endurance, growth and experience he will become a grand leader and a true Leo of the Sea. A name that will represent him well in time.

✺~:Gender:~✺
Male

✺~:Personality:~✺

Leomaris is quite frankly just shy and this hinders him and his capabilities. Even though his has the inept skills and talents to dive swiftly and hunt efficiently into the restful waters of the ocean he prefers to play it safe. Being overly cautious and skeptical of the unknown this leads to his high curiosity. This is a rather conflicting nature for himself as Leomaris prefers to stay safe, but still wishes to learn. He is unable of properly experimenting the mistakes and mishaps of life. Making him vulnerable in the ability to collect experience. Not only is his meek and cautious nature dominant, it applies to more than just people, fellow runes or other animals. The ocean, sea or any body of water is his least favorite place to be when first introduced. He hops along the shore and lets he feet get drenched before deciding to wade. After wading he’ll allow himself to go farther and farther, but refuses to allow land leave his sight. He adores the sky as he can see whatever else is around him and the same goes for the land, but the water requires a dive and a swim to know what’s lurking in its depths. Even Morrighan teases him about his decisions and cautiousness, which offends him, but usually refuses to speak up about it until later. As he does understand dispositions/personalities and prefers to take the “safe” route when touching iffy topics.

Being patient and tolerant, Leomaris utilizes this trait to his advantage and would rather watch a leaping legion of fish enter shallower waters to allow safer dives. And also utilizes this when Morrighan becomes a pest and seeks his attention or company when not wanted. Being benign in personality he will often push aside his needs for others of his own whim, but not if others want him to do so. Leomaris isn’t a pushover and will not stand for harassment or being taken advantage of maliciously, but will still address the matter properly and without force. As he strongly adheres to “What comes around, goes around.”

Even though Leomaris is grown, he still is a child, he is more mature though. Leomaris is selfless and often shares without being asked or relinquish for those who desire or need more than him. Be it for a stranger he is often giving away extra fish to the younger gullwings and predatory runes that weren’t so efficient in their hunting. Even though he has more responsibilities he will sometimes shirk and loaf around by playing, soaring and being free-spirited. A quality both he and Morrighan share.

Leomaris also suffers from a low self-esteem and beats himself down like a boat in a storm. Sometimes when he watches other water residing runes he becomes envious of their more rash natures. He occasionally complains on how he may think too much before acting and missing numerous chances which to him is equivalence to failure. Eventually he can be cheered up when he receives support and give him some justifications to his actions. And this produces an effect where gives a little more love and confidence to himself and future endeavors. Even though soon they'll end up back at port 1 with his fleeting confidence.

Leomaris has a small adventurous streak and would love to experience new things as long as he has others with him and even then he will hide to make himself more hidden during the journey. He gets antsy away from home and is prone to homesickness, nostalgia asking Morrighan too many question on what is going on. With his also easily piqued curiosity and natural will to learn he is also a good and in tune listener and observer, which makes him able to process and copy fairly well.

✺~:Why do you wish to have him:~✺

I’m always picky and can only type, art and write for what I love. <3
His expression was the first thing that attracted me. Eyes that saw so much and a mouth held open in some form of amazement. That gaze of wonder proved to me his very self. His description just led to me instantly knowing his character. I closed my eyes and saw several short stories unfold and his interactions among his “Would be” family. I’ve always wanted a father or elder brother figure for Morrighan, but I couldn’t beat the highest bid for the ancient. So that goal was always a secret desire for my Eldemore pair composed of two “sisters”. I had a limited set of personalities to possible brothers if they ever emerged, but none appeared and this rune with his description just proved me wrong. And with such a family he could always receive his encouragement and rely on them(even if Mori is reluctant to say so) they’ll be great blend. Additionally Leomaris has a perfect mix of cool colors that match the surf and sharp streaks of sun glittering gold captured my heart in one of my favorite color schemes. These same colors I often see frequently in my life and have grown into one of my favorites, as I live in the sunshine state where the beaches and ocean are always beside me. Those are a bit more shallow reason, but I do find him the perfect to be the “older” brother of Morrighan. Who is lacking in the friendliness for others causing her to not have any rune/runeling friends. Someone who is closer to her age and species would be well suited for a friend and brother figure and in this case Leomaris is ideal.


✺~:Where will you keep him/her:~✺
Leomaris will be living with his makeshift family and reside in my character thread while taking a highlight in my signature with Morrighan at his side. Short stories and art will be made all this summer and lots of it will be featuring my eldemorian characters~! <3 I will also love for him to carry over on the site!

✺~:Would you like to breed him/her in the future:~✺
If there is ever a chance then yes. Roleplay required~!

Diary of Personal Observations of Leomaris's April
April 23rd
Recently Leomaris has arrived into our household life and is struggling trying to used to it. Mainly because of the quiet setting and distance from the busy harbor he is accustomed too. Certain appliances like the stove and cupboards shock him with their capabilities, especially the stove and its ability to increase temperature. Often I must explain to him and comfort him about the house and its inanimate objects. Morrighan doesn’t seem to enjoy her new “elder brother” at the moment.

She seems to wield a new found jealousy with her brother. Possibly from my focus of attention to him so he may become more accustomed to our home which I assume that to Morrighan is spending quality time with something other than her. She was quite different with Althaea’s mergence, but was still envious of her necessary grooming and clipping of the hooves. Either way Morrighan is rather cold and snaps at Leomaris and I have no clue on to appease this dilemma at the moment. Maybe try to do more activities together?

April 25th
Today was fairly interesting. We all took a well deserved trip to the beach near the cliffs of Leomaris’s previous home. He seemed to perk up a lot and went to his family to visit. During this time I splashed in the water with Morrighan who seemed to enjoy this one on one time. Soon after Leomaris returned as his flock went diving for lunch. I was quite surprised that he didn’t join in, but Morrighan knew something I didn’t as she approached and spoke to him about it. Thankfully Mori relayed the reasons of his inactivity for the dives.

He was simply afraid of the deeper water. He was frightened of what was down there and the risks it contained. Pointing out that those who aren’t proper in their dive or hunt may not rise with the surf. Apparently if he did go diving it would be his first time as well. I didn’t allow Morrighan and I to press on the touchy subject, but I did have an idea.

April 26th
We went to the beach again and this time I walk along one of the docks before I preformed a cannonball into the frigid water. Surprisingly, when I rose from the depths I saw both my runes leaning intently over the edge watching. I waved at them both to follow my footsteps, but neither joined in. I swam back to the shore and walked onto the dock again. I stretched myself as I prepared for a dive, since I now knew the depth of the dock to floor, which posed no harm to my personal safety. Diving this time I plunged into the water. When I rose this time, I ended up with a little splash near me as Morrighan frantically beat her wings to stay afloat. Cupping my hands under her I heaved her up and eased her back down into the water with my hand for support as she tried to match my wading motions. It clicked that it was like her bath times and soon was able to naturally splash and swim around.

Leo had been watching intently and jumped off the pier and into the water. He didn’t dive, but was soon quickly swimming circles around us. So something happened.

April 28th
Today we went to the beach again and went fishing. Whenever I would reel in and tug out a victim, Leomaris would snatch it off the hook in a split second. Devouring some and letting other flop around on the dock. With some able to flounder around until they fell back into their sanctuary as we continued to fish that day I told Leo some words of encouragement. I praised his skills and agility, but also fished something out of my pocket.

Leomaris took great interest to what was hidden in my clenched hand and nudged it repeatedly with his snout. I smirked when he seemed to get impatient and revealed an off-white pearl that gleamed in the light. This was a new sight to Leomaris as he poked at it with the hooked finger like curve of his wing. He poked repeatedly before licking it and making a disgusted expression on its texture. I had to explain to him that it was a pearl which was found in oysters which are located all under the sea. Then I commented and called him an Oyster that was too scared to open up and allow people to his pearl, his skills and abilities, his true capable self that was concealed by a rough shell of fear. He seemed to understand what I meant to some extent and tried to take my pearl. I refused to give him such a treasure and that it was better to find your own.

April 29th
We returned to the warms sands of the beach. I was stunned to see the flash of blue rush into the water in front of me. Ducking his head multiple times under the surf looking around the banks for whatever had captivated him. Morrighan who is now more tolerant of her new brother had explained to me about his search for a personal pearl. I called Leomaris over as he soon landed by my side with his eyes staring with disappointment from his null profited search.
I had to explain to him that its easier to find Oyster in deeper under water cliffs that are further out in the ocean. The young rune seemed appalled at the information and became forlorn at his slim chances of retrieving one. Giving him a prep talk I informed him of his capabilities and that he could easily discover a pearl in the ocean, but would be harder to find the pearl within himself. Morrighan gave him a talk too, but I have no clue to what it contained.


April 30th
I woke up early to a lot of rummaging around in my room. I thought it was Morrighan attempting to prank me, but instead I spotted a pale-blue, sea foam white tipped twin tail dancing around in my drawers. I uttered a guttural noise to see the bright yellow eyes of my companion caught red winged in the act. He was searching for my pearl. Picking him up and escorting him out of the room I chided his actions and explained that no reward is better than the one you earned yourself.

Later I couldn’t find him, I was scared that I mentally harmed him and that he ran away. He was nowhere to be seen. I went outside and told Morrighan to man the house and rode Althaea throughout the port town of Swift Halisale.

I returned before sunset to see if he returned home. Unfortunately he was not there when I arrived. I put Althaea back in her stable and allowed her to rest from today’s urgent run; I had pathetically neglected Morrighan’s needs as she kept reminding me of her hunger. I created her a fruit salad which was one of her favorites due to the multitude of ingredients. As I finished the dish I heard a knock on the kitchen window. Whipping my head around towards the source, I couldn’t help, but tear up a bit at what I saw. Leomaris was fluttering in front of the window and banging the pane with a fairly large pearl.

When I opened the window I could spot traces of water sliding down his body. Placing the pearl and himself on the table, he began to make shrill sounds and chirps of excitement. Describing what was probably his whole diving experience to me, while Morrighan who came in from hearing all the prior noise ate and listened intently. My only regret today is that I couldn’t see him dive on his own and the face he made when he discovered his inner and physical pearl.

✺~:Any Quirks:~✺

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Being the free spirit that he is, Leomaris cannot be cooped up for too long, but he prefers free roam over adventure. So usually when Tyasi, Althaea and Morrighan are out on short missions, the windows are left open wide enough for the rune so he can freely enter and exit. Usually at these times he takes his time to monitor and explore a little of the port town, Swift Halisale from above or observe from roofs.

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Leomaris is envious of Morrighan’s ability to communicate through Tyasi. He usually feels left out from conversations as he can only hear his bearer’s spoken half and would like to properly speak with his owner on a 1 to 1 conversation. At times when these urges appear he pesters Mori for her to translate and relay his voice to ensure a conversation. (This doesn’t happen too often because of Morrighan’s reluctance as she finds it a waste of her own time and she can barley understand half of his vocals.)

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Leomaris has small routine he follows every morning which requires Tyasi to be up at the crack of dawn to take a walk in the morning all the way into the harbors of the Port Town that they live in. Usually they stop there and relax a bit to watch the starting of the sunrise. Then they often return before the runeling awakens.

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *As a target for Morrighan’s somewhat harmless teasing, Leomaris tends to turn her antics into a game. Usually calling it “Complain after you seek” and will hide inside or outside until the runeling gives up or finds him. With the result of peace and quiet or some exasperated insults.

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Sometimes his curiosity and his adventurous streak grow too strong and Leomaris will tag along on an assignment especially any that require boat travel and are to islands or near bodies of water. Of course he’ll be cautious around these new places, but the familiarity in appearance helps out to cope with more personal issues.

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *His high vocalizing squeaks, chirps and clicks seem to catch the attention of his house members, but aren’t properly understood and he is often trying to communicate with them. Unfortunately, Morrighan sums it up as a barley understandable accent and somewhat of its own language. So daily when she’s up to learning, he teaches her his sounds and tries to explain them and in his hopes have her able to replicate them. (Results tend to vary)

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Leomaris is still well in tuned with his flock still and visits more than weekly to hunt and socialize with its members. When his bearer departs and takes the rest of the residents with her for long-lasting excursions, Leomaris will return to live with his flock. (Who live on the cliff on the other side of the port town of Swift Halisale.) He usually checks back on his bearer’s house every few days to see if they have returned.

*✧･ﾟ`*✺*`･ﾟ✧ *Due to his human partner and her human ability to ‘cook’, Leomaris has grown an affinity to cook fish that could be decorated with spices and baked, broiled, fried etc. So often he will go hunting and decide what’s for dinner without anyone’s consent. This is also a weakness to when a deal is made; a few days of cooked fish can make him comply to do almost anything


✺~:Stories:~✺

Sorry, this story is a tad long. xD

An 8 way Tale

“Open it!” chirped the ecstatic voice of the gullwing. His golden eyes shimmered like the sun’s rays against an iridescent metal. Leomaris glanced expectedly at the runeling who eyed her gift in suspicion as she sat on her makeshift birthday throne of stacked throw pillows. Morrighan was surprised to see a birthday gift on such a cold winter day and even questioned the very knowledge on how he even knew her birthday as she lacked any recollection of informing him about it. Adamant on the concept that it was nothing, but a mere prank, Morrighan nudged it to her side.

Leomaris unsure of common birthday customs, but only watched her expectantly as she pretended to ignore his gift. Morrighan was prepared to start a miniature interrogation on the matter of the gift, but was interrupted by the introduction of her scrumptious birthday cake. Tyasi cautiously stepped into the room with several layers of fruit stacked into a stylish arrangement to be fixed into a position similar to that of a cake. This ‘fruit’ cake was gently placed on the table where you could see the keen details. Each layer was bound together through administered pale golden honey that was delicately glazed under each fruit. The upper parts of each layer became more abundant in berries, while the base layers were constructed with slices of melons and citrus. Inside the center spiral was constructed of chopped pome type fruits ranging from apples to imported oriental loquats that were adhered by a thick coating of caramel. The cake was prepared to be eaten where it was even presliced and was begging to be devoured. Poking out her wet tongue, Morrighan craned her short dark neck to take a nibble of her spectacular birthday dish, but found only air to chomp instead.

Grumbling as she noticed herself rising from the comfort of her plushy throne. She was gently picked up by the scruff of her furry feathery neck and whined in disapproval as she heard the “tsk tsk tsk,” of her guardian. “Morrighan,” Tyasi stated with a slightly curt tone. “It’s rather rude to push off a present to the floor so you can eat cake.” Tyasi chided as she pointed to the poorly wrapped gift that had been knocked over unknown to Morrighan’s knowledge.

While glaring at the package the runeling quipped back, “Isn’t cake before presents?” with a slight growl to the voice that popped into the woman’s head. Raising an eyebrow the human returned the comment with, “It’s the opposite in this house. The best things are saved for last.”

Staring back with an amused look, Morrighan poked out her tongue and giggled at her loss in an argument before muttering a simple “Sorry, Leo.” Tyasi placed the runeling down with a half smile before picking up the crudely wrapped package. “So, my little Pearl, did you find the perfect gift you were looking for?” Questioned the lips of the playful face of the rune’s bearer.

Leomaris chirped merrily and jumped in the air with excitement in response. Morrighan slowly pieced her earlier nagging question together as she exchanged glances between the rune and bearer. “IT WAS YOU!” She screeched with the uncanny familiarity to that of a Banshee inside the bearer’s cerebrum. The horrible sound echoed throughout the bearer’s throbbing head as she proceeded to gingerly massage her temples. Under her breath, Tyasi coughed a shrewd comment, “Best decision to name you Morrighan, Oh queen of ghosts.”

Feeling rather triumphant with herself, Morrighan fluttered over to her gift. She produced a petite smile before she commenced the opening of her gift. Finally tearing the last bit of the paper she kicked the loose oak wood lid off the petite wooden box that was inside the dull wrapping paper. A shrill of fear erupted from the chest of the runeling as stumbled off the couch after witnessing the unruly sight of her present. Leomaris confused at her fear clicked and whistled several times in concern. Realizing that she couldn’t understand his language, he then proceeded to peek into the box to double check. With no significant facial change he muttered a low “What’s wrong with it?” to the runeling.

Tyasi curious herself to what was Morrighan’s gift, took a quick glance before turning her head away in disgust. Slippery pulsing flesh sat in the box, before a single slippery tentacle popped out. Then another followed by more until five purply-pink tentacles hovered outside of their wooden perimeter feeling for something to grab on. After a few seconds the entity was able to heave its damp mass outside of the box. Revealing its true form, the small octopus dragged its dehydrating self around the edge of the sofa with no intention of stopping until a sufficient water source was found.

Looking at both the runes who both seemed to have no interest in collecting the octopus left it as another mess for Tyasi to clean up. Sighing she bolstered her body with the thoughts to make her ignore the disgusting feeling of carrying the octopus. Picking up the small box that sloshed with the remnants of sea water she gently uplifted the young mollusk and placed it into its box once more. “I’ll be returning this little guy to where he properly belongs. So I’ll be right back you two, but don’t you dare touch that cake Mori or Mari.” she warned as she slipped on some sandals and headed out the door.

Frowning the gullwings eyes overflowing with discouragement fell to the floor where he could see the runeling’s pursed lips and exposed tongue. “What was wrong with my present? I thought I got you something you always needed!” he whined with a face more puzzled than scattered jigsaw pieces. “I never needed a live octopus.” Morrighan retorted with her dark cheeks puffing as her earlier assumption seemed as right as a sailor’s navigation. Even though her brother wasn’t the prankster type, she couldn’t give him the doubt. “Oh…but you gripe about how you n-n-never have enough ink and I heard of these o-o-octopi that can squirt s-s-some… I thought an u-u-unlimited supply would be a great gift for y-you,” he stuttered a bit with embarrassment as he tried to justify his cause. Leomaris had now realized how silly his gift was and to his dismay felt the weight of a now ruined birthday. "Sorry…" he added with his golden eyes brimming with regret.

Unimpressed by his reasoning, Morrighan snorted in response, but couldn’t deny the sincerity of his token. “Apology accepted,” she grumbled stiffly as her anger slowly drifted off her being. “now tell me why you got me an octopus or how did you even manage getting it?” she asked with piqued curiosity, but had the facial façade that represented the previous attitude that adorned her face. Shocked at the question, Leomaris didn’t know if it was okay to share his blundering feat, but as the silent runeling stared on, waiting for his tale, he decided to go along and speak.

“Well, you see… After I learned of this birthday celebration tradition, I went to search for the perfect gift. I spent days and I even braved the wilderness of the port town! I went uum… What do you call it? Window shopping, I believe and couldn’t find anything of your liking. So I was pretty stumped and was a bit hungry too and I thought some fish would hit the spot since I was so close to the harbor. So while I was out in the port and swimming carefully to avoid boat bottoms, I came across this really weird looking fish creature. It had a bulbous head and eight lengthy tendrils and when I got close to snatch up it sent a jet of some type black goop and dove too deep for me to follow. I stopped following for a while as I saw it steadily aim to hide in the midst of the twilight zone. I think I was about twenty six feet deep, before I had to go back up. Soooo, I went to my flock’s cliff to ask the flock chief’s mate about the fish. She’s the large foam white female with green accents and the dawn orangy-pink rune marks, you’ve met her before, remember? Anyway she told me about squids and octopi and how I probably saw an octopus, because of its form and limb quantity. She also mentioned that it was a bit rare to see one dive to the point where they would head to the disphotic zone and that it must have been a gutsy large one. Especially since that is hammerhead and deep sea rune territories. Then I learned about their ink production! It seemed perfect for you, it be almost an unlimited supply. Tyasi wouldn’t have to buy you all those ritzy colors and more black wells either! Or at least that was what I thought at the time and went back. It was a huge find and it had already eluded me once and as a brother I just couldn’t ignore such a magnificent birthday prospect. So I hung out at the dock all day trying to catch this octopus. I had to return home later that day, but after that I spent several days trying to catch that same creature. It was always hiding and sneaking around, trying to live its life without some unusual predator stalking its every waking moments. I could never nab it and I tried to capture it so many times, but always came short. Yesterday I was adamant to secure him. I refused to be hesitant, because of the deadline and worked up the nerve with only one goal. I was so focused on his future imprisonment that I failed to notice my current oxygen to distance rations. I wasn’t cautious that day and paid for it… I was getting so light headed that I tried to swim back up, but I could make it. I clicked and made a few shrill calls to alert anyone of my danger before just drifting away. Luckily I awoke in a tide pool with younger Deep Sea rune. I had forgotten that our individual calls are similar in speech, probably from our cooperative coexistence as she had heard my calls and came to my rescue. She explained I was in the lower middle of the euphotic zone and was out like lantern fish’s internal light. She was roughly the size of an adolescent human and seemed to have a cerulean base with green flecks that complimented her nacreous like belly scutes. She never gave me her name, but she told me that I was lucky being nearby as her bearer’s ship was being direct to port to drop off some oriental spices. I explained to her why I was so deep underwater, which caught her interest. She offered to get the octopus for me and I just sat there and rested. I watched the sea salt runes pick up the harbor trash and play with my tail a bit until she returned. When she did she gave me half of my sought out octopus and apologized about how she couldn’t help herself. The seasalt runes squealed in displeasure about their fallen animal friend so the deep sea girl had to eat the rest of him. She apologized some more and explained to that she couldn’t stick around to get another one for me, since the seafarer rune that guides her ship was finicky of winds and times for sailing… I guess I’ve been prattling for a long time, huh? Well, to keep this brief, I was forlorn and went to bed very late last night and just caught that little fellow who got stranded in a tide pool this morning. So I searched the beach and found two sea salt runelings trying to lug this box and their younger sibling dragging some slightly decorative paper. Poor little things were having trouble cleaning the items off the beach. So I took it off their hands and barely made it out in time with your birthday gift.” he concluded with an embarrassing expression on his face.

Leomaris had been so caught up in his story and his love of talking that he had managed to put the birthday girl in a deep slumber. He didn’t know when this happened, but assuming from the grumbling bellies of them both that she couldn’t muster the energy to stay awake. Smiling the gullwing cuddled up to his younger sibling as he waited for the return of his bearer.

Several minutes later there was a ruckus at the door as Tyasi clambered in with several bags of supplies. The drowsy runeling blinked awkwardly as she saw her guardian placed the bags on the floor before rummaging through one to retrieve several wells full of glittery ink metallic shades of ink. The runeling woke up immediately and began to fawn over her gifts. “You two can eat the cake now; I have to get started on dinner. Going to have a seafood extravaganza! Fresh octopus, squid, tilapia, halibut, mussles and all those other tasty critters!” she cheered exuberantly. With a fondness to seafood that could almost rival that of any gullwing.

Taking those words as a signal to chow down, Morrighan pulled out a hefty precut slice and began munching on sweet fresh goodness. Taking a slice out as well, Leomaris eyed the delicacy to any herbivore before taking a few pecks at the honey coated berries near the top. It was sweet and scrumptious, but not really his cup of tea. taking a few more berries off to tide him over, he curled up on the sofa watching his little family member gorge herself full as he waited on dinner. He probably wouldn’t get that kind of meal again until his own birthday. Drooping his eyes slightly, he dreamily chirped a, “Can’t wait for me own.” as he imagined what delicacies would be on the plate during his birthday.

A True Lion of the Sea
(this is a song, sorry about how it doesn't seem to flow, but the lyrics when you sing it to the desired tune/tone. I just can't sing ver well enough to show you. ;-;)

I always loved the sky
Its like an aerial sea
One of the best reasons
Is I can see all infront of me
A sad thing is
It doesn't have my favorite fizz
A cloud filled sky lacks all the fish
Too bad that's my sustenance--
Unknown to those water breachin' lights
Is a hoard of Scaley delights-- but that means I must
Look inside of me--
Since shattering my fear is the key

Unknown Unknown living in the water
The Unkown The Unkown causes me to falter
Giving in to my insecurity
Has been cured by my familyyyy

Uknown Unkowns are always near
The unknown, the unknown upheavals my fear
But with faith I can summon my courage
And live like my heritage
~~~

In Swift Halisale
I gotta wag my tail
At the sounds
And winds eastbound
Take flight on a draft
And land on a sailing mast
The pleasures of living near town
Provides more room to play around

Too bad I refuse to explore every place
Unless with my family's support
Then I can create a brave face
With experience, I'll be a fort
Until then I'll be with fear
It may not be around, but its here

Unknown Unknowns are here forever
The Unknowns the Unknowns are beaten together
Just let it never live in your core
You just can't fear all of Eldemore

(choruse bit= each "unknown lines")

~~
I live in three realms
Sky, Earth and Sea
When I fend of my fear
I love them mutually
S do not shed a single tear
For I shall not neglect destiny
I live through, with cheer
For I am, The Lion of the Sea
