Quilo
In what way are they like ice?;;
Quilo was born early winter, snow already blanketing the ground. So, as he grew, he became accustomed to the snowdrifts, taking solace in the cool, quiet and beauty of winter; however, he loved ice far more than snow. He was known to spend hours sitting by a frozen lake, looking over the glistening shade it made, the swirling dark water underneath. It was mysterious, thrilling, terrifying, enchanting, he could go on and on in his description of the frozen substance.
However, Winter, as always, had to pass, and as it did Spring came. The snow slowly melted being absorbed from flowers, clouds began simply dotting the sky, flowers burst forth from a sun warmed ground and the ice melted from the water. This confused Quilo. All he knew and loved had been in the wintry world before, one that now felt worlds away. His mother told him Spring was good, that with it came more food and warmth. While the influx of food was nice, Quilo simply couldn't agree and, whether he meant to or not, he began to distance himself from the other kalons. He would often be found off by himself, staring at the sky or sometimes into the lake, now free from its icy prison.
Some began to worry, it made others uncomfortable. The affect it had was different for everyone, though, he never seemed to notice. The only thing he noticed was that he now felt oddly hollow, where and why, he didn't know, it just felt like he was missing absent. He no longer cared much for speaking.
It only progressed into Summer. As the weather grew warmer, his insides did the opposite. He now glared at everything, snapped at everyone. Occasionally, he even had a small, intense feeling in him when he looked at the full growth of the trees overhead. It was a feeling that made him want to run, run away, he didn't know from what, he didn't care.
One morning, he awoke to a pleasant chill in the air. Jumping awake, he ran out, head tilted curiously as he looked. He noticed something he hadn't before. The leaves in the luscious deciduous trees, while mostly still green, had begun to change slightly. There were even a few completely orange or red. Fall had come. He felt happier then. Each day there were fewer leaves, cooler breezes. Occasionally he would even awake to frost dappling the grass and flowers. Everyday led him closer to his home, closer to where he had left that vital, missing piece of himself. Until finally, it came.
His heart was clear again. If he were to be honest, it wasn't how he imagined. He thought snow would come first, littering the ground with its powdery drifts. He was mistaken. Instead came the ice, a thin layer covering the lake he loved, not yet strong enough to hold him, but certainly there, almost as though it had come early to greet the kalon. The thought made him happy, and everyday, he would visit the lake, even when the sky through down snow in torrents or the wind bit hard enough to keep others inside.
