▪ "My Name and its Meaning..." ▪

"Name? Name only refers to one thing...I go by many
names..."

Most commonly, he is referred to as 'Angel',
'Guardian Angel' or 'Angel of the City'. After doing a bit of
research, and looking for names that best suited him,
there was always one racing through my mind, calling out
to me as it would seem. The First name I thought of.
Ren.
It means 'Water Lily' in Japanese, though I only recently
found that out owo;;
But the thing I found most interesting, Is the name itself,
backwards.
"Ner", meaning "Burning Light"

His world has been turned upside down, backwards,
but there is always a Light Burning in his heart,
keeping him going onwards and helping him carry on.

▪ "My Story? It shall be told.." ▪
My Apologies if it's slightly over the 1200 word limit ;^; But the counter i used said 1200...but word counters disagree with each other.
PAs I stepped carefully down the darkened street, I sighed softly, hardly making a sound against the noisy backdrop of the city. This city was most quiet at night, in most areas, which was good, it meant the Humans were sleeping, and the once bustling streets were basically peaceful. Having grown up here for the past thirty years of my life, I was used to the sounds and sights. But not this one. I glanced behind, back down the street quickly. Nothing. Only shadows. That was weird. I heard something, I was sure of it. The rustle of fur against tarmac, and a faint tinkling sound, much like the sound the Ornaments and Bells dangling freely from my Horns made. I started forward again. 'Probably just another animal, tired and on its way' I thought breifly, before dismissing the idea without another word. Though, curiousity got the better of me, and I edged backwards a short distance, and by surprise, Two Whelkon, Others of my kind, stepped out of the shadows and into the soft, cool light of the moon. The other Whelkon looked nothing like me, they seemed to radiate an aura of wisdom and kindness. Their pelt was different too, the Larger one, I noticed, had a creamy brown coat, which was patterned with stripes and brindled with darker browns and golds, and his horns, a rich gold that shimmered in the soft light. I shivered. The other had a pelt of dazzling white, with dark stripes of black and blue. They both looked so... Elegant, I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Do the rest of my kind look like this too? They looked at me with warm eyes, and I bowed my head. "So it seems the rumours were true..." The larger acknowledged in a low voice. The other nodded, silently gazing at me. "My name is Elnin..." He said, flicking his large tail,"This is Alni...My beloved Mate..." Alni dipped her head. "We are both Ancient Whelkon....Only few of our kind remain..." He sighed softly,"Anyway...Come along...Tell us about yourself..." He turned slowly, him and his mate turning to make their way back down the street. I followed them, then, I lifted my head, gazing at him with wide eyes, but not in fear or shock, in admiration,"My name...Is Ren." I started. The Elder nodded slowly. I kept my gaze forward. "So...You are the Guardian Angel, it seems, of this City?" Ren nodded. How did they know? Did word and rumour pass quickly over the land? Alni closed her eyes, before speaking softly, her voice ringing in my head like the pleasant sound of a bell,"So, young one...What is your tale?" She opened her deep blue eyes again. Even though she wasn't facing me, I knew she was gazing right at me.

"My Story?" I repeated,"It shall be told."
---
"I can vaguely remember my past. It all began when I opened my eyes for the first time, and stared down at my snowy white legs. "Ma?" I let out a soft grunt. No answer. I blinked, and struggled to my feet slowly,"Ma?" I repeated. A Human stopped and stared. I shrunk back against the stone cold wall, not used to any of this. Another Human stopped, joining the first. They conversed briefly, before returning their gazes to me. I glanced around, eyes wide. Where was I? Where was Ma? Where was my Father? I let out a low, pitiful squeak. More Humans gathered. I backed away, wobbling on my weak legs, I wanted to get away, I needed too. The alley got darker, until I was faced with another wall. I hid in the shadows, a millon thoughts racing through my mind. Where was my Mother? Her warmth, her soft pelt, only memories now. Where was I? This strange, grey place, with its cold and towering buildings. I stared at my reflection in a Puddle. Red eyes, White Pelt and Honey-brown horns. I had never thought this would all change.

At the age of Thirteen, my life turned upside down. No longer was I the white-pelted Welk I was before. Now a dirty, steely grey, I wandered the streets. Some of the Humans were more or less used to me now, and I, to them. But worries and fear still haunted me, like a cloud hanging over me and fogging my vision. I stared at the concrete floor, deep in thought, not paying attention to my surroundings. That was when I first heard it, the loud honk of a horn, and the shriek of tires against the flat round. Jolted awake, I gazed around, only to see dozens upon dozens of big and small, mechanical beasts, Cars. And where was I? Right in the middle of them. A few honked again, angry Humans glaring at me. I let out a low grunt, before hurriedly making my way to the safety of another street. But was anything safe around here? I made my way back to the alleyway I had visited countless times, only to be greeted by the heart-wrenching smell of death. I shivered, sadness flooding through me at the sight of the broken soul that was a bird. I gingerly picked it up in my jaws. I couldn't ignore things like this forever. I was a Doctor of the Land, and this City needed me.

Twenty-five years of age, I became more comfortable with my surroundings, and I had started to explore the vast area more, rather than sticking close to my 'home' area. After the terrifying meeting with the cars, I realised it would be safer to travel by night or stay away from the main streets. And so I did that. Rather than being dark, the twisting roads and paths were more lit up than I thought. Street Lamps cast eerie, artificial light over the streets, basking things in a horrid orange glow. These lamps lined the streets, making sure that there were no shadows; places to hide. This, I admit, made me most uncomfortable. But, there were a select few streets I found myself visiting again and again, night and day. I would be lying If I said I like them, and I would be lying if I said I did not. Ornaments and decorations, dull blues and reds in colour, hung from windows and doors of some of the buildings. At night, glowing red and white lights shone like stars against the canopy of grey and black that was the buildings. This, this place was truly magical, and I felt like I finally....Fitted in somewhere." I paused. "Not much has happened in the past five years, only long days and cold nights." I finished.

"I am merely small Whelkon in this Large City."

I paused. We had reached the city border. Elnin and Alni turned to face me, the Forest in the background and the moonlit sky casting a fitting backdrop.

"So. The choice is yours." Elnin said. "Will you join us in the forest, or stay in your city?"

"Being with my own Kind for once...Would be nice."

I hesitated.

"But of course. The City needs a Guardian...Just as much as the forest."

"Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens s i n g
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream

'Cause I'm o n l y a crack in this
castle of glass
Hardly anything
there for you to see
For you to s e e..."

▪ Username: EternalHowling
▪ Whelkon Name: Seera
▪ Why you chose this name: I chose this name because it seemed to fit. It also is suppose to stand for how the forest is like a wisper to Seera and to me her name is like a wisper. {I hope its ok that I see here as a girl...}
▪ Story:

It was a friged October evening, everyone was getting ready for Halloween which was only a few days away. Haunted houses were being put together and candy was selling out. Many wondered if the achiant guardian Seera would show up as she seemed to every halloween. One group of people were counting on her apparence for she was to be there lab rat you could say. Since the welkcon had gone deeper into the forest sittings have been more and more rare. Catching them is almost impossible but this so called guardian was used to humans and would be much easier pray for the hunters and scientist who wanted to study and reengineer this ancient breed. The group made sure to not drag any attention to them self or look likea thret while they planned there capture. Meanwhile Seera was dealing with a problem of her own. She was unsure what she lived for any more and wondered if she should leave the town. " I wonder what the forest is like" she thought. " I wonder what there is to eat or if there are humans there?" she puzzled over these questions and many more day and night. One thing she new was that the longer she stayed in the city the more tainted her coat became and she new that she was slowly getting sicker and sicker as more pollution and smoke entered her lungs. As days passed and halloween got closer she dicided that she would leave after making an appearance at the town center on Halloween. Mean while the group of people had gotten a trap ready and were waiting patently for Halloween night.

Halloween day Morning

The group had determined that the garidian was going to show up at town center by lookin at previous years appearances. They had everything set in place and in there minds nothing could go wrong.

▪ Username; Dewey
▪ Whelkon Name; Serenity
▪ Gender; Female

▪ Why you chose this name;
I chose this name for her because she absouletly majestic! She truly is a calm and peaceful creature. She may have her worries or troubles, but she is very down-to-earth. She deserved to have a elegant name that matched her designs and her personality. I, also, chose this name because she means a lot to me. I love her very much and for that, she needs a special name that uncommon, lovely, fun, creative, and most of all, unique. Serenity is a unique Whelkon and the deserves a unique name! <3
