Mockingbird,
Spread your wings,
The night is cold,
But dawn will sing.
Mockingbird,
Call to thee,
At waters clear,
We all will see.
Mockingbird,
Fly away,
On wings of freedom,
Away from fate.

Atticus said to Jem one day, "I’d rather you shot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you’ll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird." That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. "Your father’s right," she said. "Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird. - Harper Lee, To kill a mockingbird
U S E R N A M E;; Hello I'm 42. I'm currently a non-owner, though I have tried out for many a Kiamara before. But this isn't about me, it's about this beautiful Kiamara we have here. Talon, he's gorgeous <3N A M E;;Ah yes, the Kia's name! Well this handsome man shall be called 'Mockingbird'. His shiny yet mysterious coat reminds me most fondly of a dark forest; roamed not by terrible beasts, but by the innocent birds. Honestly I think the name just suits him; you don't need a reason. Though Mockingbird, his character just the way that it is, goes - most commonly - by 'Mo', and by his close friends 'Finch'.P E R S O N A L I T Y;;“I am me and that’s okay.”Comfortable;
Mo is always comfortable with his personality, if someone doesn’t like his personality it’s not his problem. He’s always the first to cry in a movie and the first to dance in the rain, but this doesn’t bother him, he’s Mockingbird; that’s all he’ll ever be.“Don’t tell me nothing’s wrong, I’m not that stupid”Caring;
Finch has quite a soft side; he’s caring and loving, and often known to be quite the charmer when he wants to be. Mo isn’t one to cause pain to anyone and is comfortable in not being everyone’s friend as long as he isn’t hurting anyone.“A day without fun is a day wasted”Adventurous;
Mockingbird has a good sense for adventure; he’s willing to do a few things he wouldn’t normally do for a bit of fun. Mo loves exciting times with his close friends and a small dose of adrenaline doesn’t bother him either. Although Mo loves fun, he isn’t one to put his or anyone else’s safety on the line while doing so.“The sun is never far away, for it’s never truly dark”Optimistic;
Finch is the friend you go to when something bad has happened. He isn’t the best at comforting people but he’s certainly optimistic. No matter what it is; Mo always finds a bright side to every shadow and a silver lining to every cloud.“My voice and a bunch of ivory doesn’t sound bad”Musical;
Mo is definitely not the best singer you could meet. He’s pretty decent but he does it more for the enjoyment for himself then others. He much prefers to sing and dance or play with a bit of passion and fun than to be perfect. He enjoys singing, playing the piano and dancing, often while with friends having a spritely time.“A day doing nothing is a day without fun”Active;
Mo isn’t overly sporty but he isn’t one to be sitting still. Whether it be climbing trees, playing games or even just twiddling his fingers; Mockingbird isn’t one to sit around doing nothing, a day of fun is much better than a day of worrying or dreaming.S T O R Y O F H I S S C A R S;;At the end of the room was a defined silhouette; black against the lustrous abundance of shimmering gold sunlight…
I closed the sturdy mahogany door with a cautious air; it closing with a muffled ‘clunk’. So this was it; a musty room, filled with all the basics: an oaken wardrobe, a small table and -of course- a bed. Currently occupied.
The figure was asleep, their breaths falling and rising in a rhythmic, quite hypnotic, pace. They were slightly smaller than me – a Kiamara, soon approaching his late teens. I sat in a simple chair an impartial distance from the door and the Kia, who was still lost in a dreamy slumber. I had no idea why I was here; not an inkling. I suppose I was sent here. The unaddressed letter said here exactly; the 42nd room on the left, 5th floor, Hidden Towers. I pulled it out; just to double check, but still it said – quite plainly;
Mockingbird.
On the second Tuesday of the upcoming month I want you to head to the 42nd room on the left, 5th floor, Hidden Towers. If your admittance is denied, show them this letter and all should be fine. No questions asked, nothing precious lost; hear?
Curiosity didn’t kill the cat now did it, but you, you’re no cat. Tread carefully, Mockingbird.
I couldn’t say I wasn’t scared. No I was a bit freaked out all right. But the Hidden Towers had always been known as a safe refuge; nothing bad ever happened there. So I swallowed my fear and followed my feet. And now I sat, staring at the dark body of someone faintly familiar.
The body moved and I jumped to my feet; I didn’t mean it as an aggressive gesture but I was startled and it did contain a slight hint of defence. The kia scrambled to his feet, his sharp blue eyes pierced his surroundings and left my thoughts naked to any eyes. He looked at me, an almost pitying gaze…
“NO! NO! NO!” the kiamara was screaming his lungs out, an almost painful shriek like it was his last chance at survival. He leapt at me; clawing and scratching at my face until I was on the floor, blood blooming from my body - the excruciating pain sending stabs of adrenaline through my veins. He clawed at me, not stopping for the tiniest gap of time and I gasped in agony. I had no strength to even hold him off, and I turned over my eye glinting in the only beauty of the room; the sunlight. With the tiny gleam he stopped. The attacker stepped away from me, his eyes teary. My ear throbbed in an aching pain; twisting my focus and clouding my eyesight. “Mo?” He didn’t touch me, but talked to me like he hadn’t just attacked me – no he talked to me like a friend. I got up, not saying a word and limped to the door. “Mo? No Mo!! MO COME BACK!!!!!!!” he pleaded and cried, begging like a child dragged from its mother. I turned to gaze at him, it was a hurtful gaze; sharp yet soft, painful yet pitying. “Mockingbird…” he pleaded, a desperate whisper. And I turned.
I turned and walked away.
I never saw the kiamara again. But that didn’t stop me carrying a haunting reminder of him, the scars – the scars, they don’t define me. No the scars, they guide me.
It may be a sin to kill a mockingbird, but is the mockingbird as innocent as its song?E X T R A;;
Mockingbird can be quite the capable writer; this is an exerpt from a piece he wrote for his dear friend who was going through a tough time.
'My Eyes see All' ~ Mockingbird
Fate; so tantalizing.
A mere whispers breath away from you.
Gripped in its jaws, an inescapable cage.
Though sly.
Life; so twisted.
A blind march through the unknown.
A golden breath, though much more valuable;
Less loved.
Song; so beautiful.
A calling to the land’s heart.
Freedom’s sound, released from the heart.
Our escape.
Death; so dark.
A silencing of our hearts.
A floating soul, freed from a body.
Nothingness.╔═════════════════╗
Mockingbird,
My day is done,
The sin i've dealt thou has been done.
Mockingbird,
Apologies,
Will only freeze,
My destiny.
Mockingbird,
Fly away,
Your freedom is gone,
Condemned to fate.
