Name: Tian - pronounced ti-an. It has meanings to do with celestial and heavenly things in Chinese. He wouldn't tell anyone else, but one thing Tian would like to be able to see above all else are the stars.
Gender: Male
Why does he dislike being blind?: Well, it's not as simple as you'd think. Being blind to start is fine. He's never been able to see before, and there's nothing he can really do about that, so he's not upset like that - what's the point? It's because of the other Kiamaras that he's upset. It's how they treat him. They speak to him as if he doesn't understand, or as if he's a bit stupid or needs special attention - which he doesn't. Tian can take care of himself. His other senses make up for it a lot of the time. But some small things the others say at times just sets him off in a bit of a mood, and for a lot of the time he finds himself alone. He just wishes someone could understand or give him the respect any Kiamara should get. He actually prefers not being able to see the other Kiamaras because a lot more can be learned by their voices and what they say rather than how they look, and he thinks they hold visual appearance of themselves and others too highly.
Theme Song: Elephant Island by Port Blue. This guy doesn't like music with lyrics in it. He doesn't want to have words telling him to cheer up or be sorrowful or anything in between. Things that sound more ambient are intriguing to him. He's used to having a world full of sounds around him, and when they're slightly unusual, they're captivating. Most of the time, he likes listening to nature more than he does music.

Name: Tyhjä Katse, it means " Empty Gaze" in Catalan. Since he has such a long an complicated name, he prefers to go by Zeke.
Gender: Male
Why does he dislike being blind?: As a kid, his family was very poor, and couldn't afford to take care of a child. So therefore, he was left alone to be taken care of by his wealthy aunt and uncle. His uncle was gone, work usually, and his aunt was paranoid, driven power crazed by their wealth, and kept him alone in his room for most of his life, shut from the world. Inside the overwhelmingly large room, he discovered his talent, his artistic skill. His uncle would come home from work late, though he would always bring some wood or paper for him to practice his skill. His walls were covered with intricate wood carvings, sketches of lonely birds that sang outside his window, and towering sculptures. However, the most beautiful on all of the walls was a single painting, partially unfinished, of the night sky. The eternal black canvas stretched far above the green grass, with fireflies soaring just above that. His narsacissitic, money craving aunt saw the money out of his skill and took him into the city see if they could sell the painting at a local art store. The rest of that day is still fuzzy to Zeke, the crash was all too quick. His sight was gone, just like that, his life was darkness. The curse that haunts him to this day, all because of a simple crash. There were no more paintings put up on that wall. They were sold, one by one. He tried again and again to see, wishing it was just a nightmare or a sick joke. He tried to find comfort in music, to give him a sort of outlet, though without being able to read the music he could never learn the notes. He was an outcast of society, he had no purpose other than just to live day by day. Then he met another Kiamara, his name was Merle, who attempted showed him how to love life, even just when he was by himself by being a good friend. He learned to get a little past this, and opened up to become a friendly and funny Kiamara, almost goofy at times. Despite this, the thing that haunted most of all was the fact that he would never paint again, and the painting would be left unfinished. Forever blank, forever empty. He would never see his beautiful mate, his paintings, Merle's smile, the notes on a music sheet, he was an empty gaze that stared into space and no more.
Theme Song: " Mirrors" by Justin Timberlake I chose this song because it represents his comfort he found in himself in the darkness of his sight C:

Name:
Darshin

Gender:
Male

Why does he dislike being blind?:
Darshin lives in a world without light or color. He lives in a world where eternal darkness is all that surrounds him. When one sense is lost, your other senses will, most likely, become sharper to help compensate for it, but this is not the case for Darshin. Because he lost the ability to see only recently, his senses haven't had time to adjust. Ever since he became blind he has become extremely paranoid. He always thinks that someone is watching him or someone or something is behind him. He wants to learn braille, but he finds it too difficult. He can barely remember colors that he saw before he was blind. He can't ask someone to describe what something looks like because you can't describe a color. He hates how he can't see the beauty that life has to offer. He can never see a cheerful smile from others. He can never see how beautiful his mate would be. He feels weak and defenseless. He feels like he is unable to do anything. He feels like he can't enjoy his life.

Theme Song:
Mirror- by Lil Wayne Ft. Bruno Mars
I chose this song because it shows how broken he feels about himself and how alone he feels now. Also it shows how he can only turn to himself for help.

Story:
"Broken in the Light"
My sore, aching paws dragged through the thick crunching snow. The wind started to pick up, much to my displeasure. I gazed off into the vast late evening sky. The bright, vibrant colors in the were slowly disappearing as the dim twinkling stars began to emerge. I looked around the snowy landscape. If I was going to survive tonight, I needed shelter, and I needed it fast.
In less than half an hour, the conditions worsened. The somewhat gentle snowdrift had turned into a full on barrage of icy flakes. The wind became wild and furious, and it threatened to take me with it. Then the realization hit me. I was in the middle of a blizzard! A sense of panic and adrenaline shot through my veins. In true desperation, I started into a panicked sprint. My head and eyes darted back and forth looking for any type of shelter. I suddenly felt my muscles tense up. "N-no!" I said in a hoarse yell, before I collapsed into the snow. My vision began to fade as the the wild ice stung my eyes. "I don't want to die," I whispered to myself as everything faded to black.
I quickly snapped my eyes open to see... nothing? No! This can't be right. I-I must still be asleep! Just then I heard a sound echoing, and it was coming from behind me. "Who's there?" I said loudly as I stood up. "Shh. Calm down now. You're going to be alright," the feminine voice cooed to me. Her voice was elegant and as smooth as silk. "A-alright," I said as I sat down trying to follow her footsteps. "So, What's your name?" she said in an overly cheery voice. "My name? My name is Darshin," I replied "And you are?" I heard her pace around for a moment before she said, "It doesn't really matter." There was a long pause before I felt her brush pass my tail. "Poor dear. You're blind," she said gently. "Blind?!" I yelled, "There must be a mistake!" "I'm sorry, but there's no mistaking it. I'm sorry, Darshin." I once again blinked my eyes, hoping that the world and all of its color would return to my sightless eyes. I could feel her pitying eyes stare at me. "Well, you could, um, stay here with me for a while or until you learn to cope with being..." She said trailing off. "That would be," I paused for a few moments as a smile pulled at my face, " That would be nice."
I've been with her for a few days. She has been really gentle with me, but she can be a bit to sensitive about me being blind though.I feel like I've been just a heavy burden to her. She is gone out into the cold ice and snow because we have to share food, and I can't hunt for myself. I've been alone here for a few hours, waiting for her to come back. "Where is she?" I mumbled to myself as I stood up, "She should be back by now." I poked my head out of the cave and felt the full force of the lashing wind. I had to find her.
I've been gone for days now, but I still haven't seen her found her. I didn't even have a chance to find her anyway. Plus, she's better off with out me, anyways. I quietly sighed to myself. She was so nice to me. She was sensitive and compassionate. She took care of me when I couldn't even take care of myself. She even saved my life. I never even learned her name. Now, I can't look her in the eyes and tell her one simple phrase that I have wanted to tell her. "Thank you. Thank you for everything."

Name: Nebula but he was nicknamed Zeb as a pup
Gender: Male
Why does he dislike being blind?: Braille. Zeb hates it. Before Zeb got into a terrible accident and became blind, he used to read all the time. He carried a messenger bag filled with novels along with him everywhere he went. Reading was Zeb's favorite thing. Sadly, now that he is blind, Zeb must learn braille if he wants to continue reading. A friend suggested Zeb to get the disks that read the books to you. Zeb tested his friend's idea with one of his favorite books and it was miserable. The author read much too slow for Zeb and he had trouble imagining the events. Zeb is a fast learner, so he is starting to get the hang of learning braille. He still feels like reading a book in braille is too time consuming. Everyone says Zeb is just being impatient but Zeb doesn't listen. He is very stubborn about being blind and just wants his sight back so he can pick up a good book and read again.

Though I go by many names. You can call me Amber, Blaze, Am, AB, AZ. Really whatever floats your goat. And I do believe goats are flamboyant so I do believe that statement is correct, but either way since we live with tons of goats, including baby goats in the kitchen it's a saying of mine.



Name:
Bryan
So simple, yet I love it. It's always seemed very nice. I know plenty of people named this, (or at least I call them this) but it's still a perfect name. It isn't a crazy thing that nobody can pronounce or understand but it's one of those simply beautiful names that I think fits this simply beautiful kiamara.


Gender:
Male
Well, of course.



Why does he dislike being blind?:
Bryan hates being blind because partly the difficulty but he could see past that, wait-I mean he could get past that. Anyways, everybody, including his friends talk about things they have seen. Movies, T.V. shows and especially, whale watching. He always loved whales and wished he could see one. When he tries to imagine them, he just can't. He can't even imagine seeing because he was blind his whole life. He doesn't understand what seeing or color is and that bugs him the most. Color has been described like, red is hot and blue is cold. But that doesn't make sense. What makes red, red, what shape is it in, what does it feel like? Does it have a taste? Also water, how does that makes sense? The ocean is apparently blue, but some things have no color? Like water, how can the ocean and water be different "colors" if they are the same thing! And orange, I mean orange is said to be sort of warm and then they try to explain by using other senses. Like, orange smells like oranges. What? They're using other senses to explain another? And nothing rhymes with orange, good way to get involved in literature and poetry orange. Then they find "new" colors. He once went to a place where they paint walls. His friend asked him about colors, (Mistake) but they were called "Heather Mist." he asked him what that was and he said it was blue. But, it was called Heather Mist. Why not blue? That doesn't make sense, why can't it just be called blue. Why is it so confusing? These are things that Bryan will never find out and that makes him hate being blind. He could get past the jokes probably, the difficulty but the sheer not-knowing is what drives him crazy the most. While others go and watch movies, he's at home with a book. A braille book wondering what color and sight is and others take it or granted every day of their lives.
And that sums it up, quite nicely. Yet, I will share my better opinion later.



Theme Song:
Eyes on Fire
Love this song and it's really for him, for how he acted like he was the center of the world and tried to make pain for others.
I have always loved this. But it makes me sad thinking about then. I don't really like to talk about it.
Okay
Maybe there's a tiny bit of fun in him. (The only electronic song he likes)

My name is Bryan Smith (Hello!)
and I am here to say (How ya doin'?)
I'm gonna make you smile
and I will brighten up your day

It doesn't matter now (What's up?)
if you are sad or blue (Howdy!)
'cause cheering up my friends is just
what I'm here to do

'Cause I love to make you smile, smile, smile (Yes I do)
it fills my heart with sunshine all the while (Yes it does)
'cause all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
from these happy friends of mine

I like to know you grin (Awesome!)
I love to know you beam (Rock on!)
the corners of your mouth turned up
is always my dream (Paw-five)

But if you're kind of worried
and your face has made a frown
I'll work real hard and do my best
to turn that sad frown upside down

'Cause I love to make you grin, grin, grin (Yes I do)
busted out from ear to ear, let it begin
just give me a joyful grin, grin, grin
and you fill me with good cheer

It's true, some days are dark and lonely
and maybe you feel sad
but I'll will be there to show you that it isn't that bad

There's one thing that makes me happy
and makes my whole life worthwhile
and that's when I talk to my friends and get them to smile

I really am so happy
your smile fills me with glee
I give a smile, I get a smile
and that's so special to me

'Cause I love to see you beam, beam, beam (Yes I do)
tell me, what more can I say to make you see that I do?
it makes me happy when you beam, beam, beam
yes, it always makes my day

Come on everybody smile, smile, smile!
fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
from these happy friends of mine!

Come on everybody smile, smile, smile!
fill my heart up with sunshine, sunshine
all I really need's a smile, smile, smile
from these happy friends of mine!

Yes a perfect gift for me
is a smile as wide as a mile
to make me happy as can be
smile, smile, smile, smile, smile!

Come on and smile!
come on and smile!

Story
Well, my name is Bryan and I will tell you this story personally. How about a little Q.A. so you don’t get confused as you begin to read this how about. Here let me start.

Q: How are you writing this?
A: I have a braille keyboard, the same way as a regular one. I have learned to use it, for you see. Being blind is not a complete disability. I can live like a regular person as well.

Q: How do you know how it is spelled right?
A: Only three words: an amazing editor.

Q: What is this story about?
A: Mostly, if you want to know or don’t even want to read it, how I cope with being blind. All of the hardships and how I have been accepted into community. Though I’m not happy about being blind, this was a magical opportunity.


It all has to start somewhere...

Well, I would have to say it all starts when I was born. Obviously or when I was almost born. My mother had actually done something that made me blind. I’m not sure what exactly since I was about non-existent. So, all I have gotten out of her, since I don’t want to press her is that there was a swimming accident. But I won’t hold grudges. That’s really not me, but anyways. That is where it began.
Sorry to tell you, no tragic backstory. No “mother died and then I had to fend for myself,” or “my father beat me every day,” or “my parents took drugs and were horrible!” No sir, clean healthy life. My parents I truly love. My father a nice man, he is an eye doctor and is trying to run a marathon at the moment. I wish I could go but, you know trying to run around curves.
My mother lives at home. She studied to be a vet in school but now lives at home and we own a lot of animals. Including a little naked dog, well hairless but we always call it that. Now, she is such a great mother. I really love her and I am glad she’s around. Even if she did hurt my eyes. But she’s my mother and if you can’t forgive your mother, who can you forgive?
Siblings, I am an only child. I kinda wish I had siblings, someone to talk to and play with but I have my mom. But still, I don’t even know what she looks like and just having somebody like that to keep me occupied and to play with. But what does that matter.

Getting Accepted
Oh course, this is the hardest. I went to a school for regular people since my complaining, refusing and anger kept me away from a special school. I really didn’t want to be treated any differently but it took a while to learn my way around the school. It really was one thing that took a long time. Teachers usually guided me to and from every class or students. Sadly, I was sort of a “class job” sometimes. A pain that made me feel very resentful until I realized that. I became snappy, rude and somewhat arrogant. I even used my blindness for pity and for that I feel quite awful. Really, just so awful. But, along with that I did have somebody I liked but that is a whole story for later.
Thing is everybody hated me too. They thought I way annoying, uppity and a smart alec. Okay, so I wasn’t smart but I really like to snap back at people. Look at me a great person indeed. But I never really was accepted until I grew up. And that was just, something beautiful and I grew out of my stupid childhood. So, in short. When I was young. I was never accepted but maybe next I should explain what happens when you have a crush on a person you can’t even see.

Love at First Sight?
Hehe, well hard to explain yes. I did have a crush on a girl kiamara when I was younger. And well, it is a very strange thing. She was just so open-hearted and kind. Even if she wasn’t the most “beautiful” whatever that really is or the smartest. I really liked her. Actually I could love her if you can imagine that in high school. In high school things turned for the better and I joined choir. How you may ask, you can’t read music? A lot, and lot of listening and my family got this amazing printer that prints braille. Which I obviously printed everything on. Except homework papers. That would be printed with the braille keyboard. But back to this person I liked.
But, she would walk in the halls with me every day. Talk to me at lunch. Lead my by the arm places. Though I will admit, when I really started to like her, I was embarrassed to have her hold my arm in the hall but, I did it anyways. And then she moved. Just like that, three years being best friends, until I gained the confidence to ask her out. We went out for one of those years in high school and just, poof, gone. I really liked her, so much. The only problem is, I can’t ever know what she looks like or just find her around in a mall or something but I do have her number. But sometimes when I want to text her, I get butterflies in my stomach and my hands start to shake and I can’t bring myself to do it. But someday I will. Maybe get back in touch. Another Q and A while we’re finishing this up.

Q: How do you read a text message?
A: I don’t, I have a small speaker and that is why people can’t use text talk or I can’t understand what they are saying.

Keep Smiling!
Hello, I'm here to say, smile! I love to make others smile! Even if I can't see or hear it, it fills my heart with sunshine knowing I made someone happy. And yes, I changed my mood so much. Now all I want to do is make everyone smile, it's my goal. I just love to see you beam! I just love smiles, you know, being jerk isn't productive, but being cheerful and happy can change lives. So my advice, always turn that sad frown upside-down into a happy smile.
Just before you go, give me a grin would you?

Adulthood is Where You’re Left
Yeah, this is true. When you are an adult you’re almost helpless but I learned to not to be. After all my arrogant, and jerkiness, I realized that if I acted like that I would have a bad time. And if I have a bad time, I have a bad life and isn’t that how we don’t want to live? So I really changed my attitude for the better. I will say, I can be moody, jerky and grumpy about my blindness but I have gotten over the initial things. But this is where I got accepted and want to know something? Guess what my job is.
I’m a music teacher. Yeah, I may be blind and can’t read music but that can’t stop me and my love for music. I’m not a fan of the new rock music, nothing against it at all of course, but not really what I listen to but Beethoven. It makes me feel great, knowing that he, almost deaf in his last decade on Earth, wrote music. I’m not even deaf, I can talk your ear off. I’m only blind. But if I can read it, I can write it.
Okay, so maybe I’m not fancy dancy music but I love my kids. They’re so nice and they are so full of creativity and life. I just love them so much. Oh yeah, that picture was from high school. We all had to stand in the same position. Errg, I am not very photogenic apparently. But since I don't know what it looks like, let's just say it looks bad.

And Afterword
I tried to make this short, only 1409 words. But hey, I have so much to say. Now just to say something to all you people out there.
1. Being blind made me a better person. Maybe not in the beginning but you can overcome anything if you really set your mind to it and have a good attitude. Remember. Life is an attitude. Only you can choose to do with it.

2. Don’t give up. Ever. I almost did, almost gave up everything. Bossing other people around. Because also, sarcasm and bullying in the obvious sight of the narrow-minded and the given up.

3. It’s your life. Live it now before it is too late. You don’t want that to happen.

4.Being disabled gives you a good change with the ladies sometimes

Hopefully I gave you something to know. Any knowledge. But just remember. Being blind, being paralyzed, being deaf. That doesn’t give you any excuse to be rude. Just live life as you can. And also remember. I even found a girlfriend, I bet being nice will give you a total advantage.

Name:
Deluth
(Nicknamed "Dell", just because he prefers that over Deluth, and "Lavo", which means Water)
Gender:
Male
Why does he dislike being blind?:
He has to use imagination. When someone tells him about something they see, describing it out of kindness, he has to piece it together in his imagination. He's aware that the images he tries to piece together in his head are distorted and fuzzy, and though it's meant to make him "see" the beauty without sight, he's put down by the fact that he can't see it crystal clear. He feels deprived of one of the most amazing things of being alive; to be able to see what lies infront of you. In a sunset, he can only feel his warmth on his fur, while his heart stays indifferent since he can't have it's magnificence warm his heart.
Water is the main reason. Water is his cryptonite. The way it feels on his fur and the way others hae described it, it facinates him. He doesn't understand how water works or how it looks; in his mind water always looks the same as ice. He doesn't understand how everything is solid underneath him and/or around him, and yet water can move and bend to any shape and form, how it's so hard to hold. How it can apparently reflect light off it's surface when he can leap right through. How leaves can float on it like a force field while a rock the same size will break it's barrier. How it can be distorted so easily, like images in his mind, and any vibrations he could feel on land can easily be lost by the soft breeze of wind blowing across it's surface.
If he could chose one thing to see; everything would remain black but this one thing; he'd want to see what water looks like to put his heart at ease.

Story:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Fifth Unforgotten
"The first time I came in contact with water. It was actually not long ago, a little over a kiamara year ago I think. I had always stayed in shelter whenever it rained, and I never really got out much, so that explains why. I think I was with another kiamara...though my memory has slipped of them. I was too focused on the water then. It could've been a human or a wolf or a talking parrot for all I know...I just can't remember. If I could've seen them, I probably would've remembered. But I could swear it was a pushy, but friendly kia, and I think it was a female by the sound of her voice. She never really told me her name...and never asked for mine either. But anways, I'll keep going."
"I was in a cave when they came. At first I refused to do anything, since I knew it had rained. But back then I was still under the impression that rain was the same as ice, since no one had told me otherwise, and that I would've be able to remember any of the little territory I did know. They realized I couldn't see only a couple minutes after talking to me, since I was looking in the direction of their voice but my eyes would've focus on them. And after I explained vaguely why I didn't want to do anything, they thought it was FUNNY that I was so confused about rain!"
"She said, 'You think rain is solid! Ha! Not even close. You're just going to get you're paws a little wet; it doesn't change the terrain, just makes things a little damp and muddy. Snow is solid, and it just melts into water. Have you never been outside before?!?' They didn't think it was so funny when I just replied 'Barely.' She asked, 'Why?' And I had to explain that I wasn't planning on going outside when I had barely any idea where to put my paws and no one to guide me. My parents had taught me the little territory they could, but I practically refused to learn. So after a little bit of silence, she just went, 'Well, then how about I show you?' And I agreed. Maybe I don't have as bad a memory as I thought."
"I followed them, but she was so eager she let me run into a couple (more like 6) thistles and one (maybe three) trees. But I did realize she was right; I kept slipping on the mud. Evenually, she stopped me and said, 'Be careful. There's a pool up ahead.' Of course...I had to ask her what that was. I was glad she atleast wasn't laughing at me this time. Her description fascinated me...she was actually describing what she saw. I can remember word for word what she said."
" 'It's about noon, so the sun his hitting directly off the water. The ground is sandy around the edges, and it gives way to mud and grass, like what's under you're paws right now. There's a pile of rocks on the opposite left side of the pool, and they're like twice you're height! There are pine trees that are surrounding us everywhere. You probably don't know what a pine tree looks like. Wait do you know what colors look like?' "
"I replied with a yes. I had very limited, fuzzy sight when I was first born. I had learned the colors before I had lost my vision entirely in less than a kiamara month after opening my eyes."
" 'Well, that's better than nothing, right? Anyways, the grass is long and green, and soft as you probably can feel, if you can't remember what that looks like. The mud is dark brown and shiny in the sunlight. The rocks are different shades of grey, and their all smooth circles...kinda. The trees are tall trianges at the top. They trunks are dark brown and the needles are shades of dark green, they can poke you, but not like those thistles that got you! And some of the pine trees have pinecones! Those are dark brown ovals about the size of you're paw. The sky is a soft blue, and has pale silver-white strips painted across it in some parts- and those are clouds. The sun is bright orange and yellow, and it hurts my eyes when I look right at it! And the sand is grainy, tan and yellow-ish. And then the water! It's a pale bluish color, just like you're eyes! It's rippling from the breeze, and it ripples even more when you touch it. The bottom has sand, and the water's clear enough to see right to the bottom! When the light hits it, you can see strands of white dancing across it. And when you stick you're head above it, the light dances on you! It's deep enough that you can sit down in the middle and only have it be up to you're shoulders, so you won't drown! It's shaped like a jellybean- yum! Oh...and jellybeans are candy ovals.' "
"I already knew wat some things looked like...to a vague, distored, fuzzy extent. But I didn't correct her. Her description was beautiful. I was moved by it; like it had taken me out of my seeminly pitiful life and put me in a different world. 'Come on, let's go for a swim!' She then said to me. She put her tail over my shoulders to help lead me to the water, and I was shocked by the cold water! I let her lead me on though until, like she had said, I was sitting down with the water up to my shoulders. I heard her splash around to sit infront of me. 'Isn't it cool?' I held my paws out of the water, looking down at where I thought they were though I probably looked ridiculous and looking in the opposite direction. I prayed to catch a glimpse of it as it slid through my paws, but everything remained black as usual. 'This is amazing,' I said after what I thought was stupidly staring unfocused at my paws."
"I heard her splash away, and I tried to focus on where she was, but the vibrations I used-rather poorly I might add-to find where things were failed. They were distorted in the water. But I think she got out, because I could hear the sand and grass make noise as she splashed out of the water and then walked around the pool to the edge I had entered the pool in. 'Hey Lavo!' She called, and I guessed she was calling to me, and that she wasn't facing me. 'I think you'll get to experience some real rain!' "
"I stood up and started to stumble rather lost towards her voice, but she quickly ran to my side to lead me out of the water with her tail. Suddenly thunder crashed, and rain started to spill. But instead of collecting on me like I expected, it plopped onto me and then slid off my pelt. I couldn't help but be fascinated. She continued to lead me for a little while after I left the water, until she sat me down. 'We're under a tree. That way we won't get as wet.' "
"We were waiting there a while, and I started speaking to myself. I guessed she was staring at me for a while before she asked, 'What are you saying?' I tried to look towards her, though the rain threw off my hearing, and she used her paw to move my head to face her. 'I'm just thinking, I guess. Sometimes when I'm bored, I list off things that are usually ignored, though they're so important. They're forgotten...yet unforgotten.' 'That's cool. Is it like poetry?' I shook my head. 'No. I probably could write poetry in my head if I wanted to, but I wouldn't be very good at it.' "
" 'Well, how many 'unforgottens' have you found?' She asked me. 'Five. The fifth is water...and it's my favorite unforgotten. I can't even remember what the others are, but I remember that water would be the fifth. I can't understand it...I can only 'see' things in a different perspective that those who actually see them, so that may be why. I can only understand that everything is solid to a certain extent-except for water.' She had been laying down, but I could hear her get up. 'The fifth unforgotten...I like the ring to that...Anyways, the rain's getting lighter. We should get you back to you're cave.' "
"So, she lead me with her tail over my shoulders back to my cave. We said our goodbyes, and I knew I'd probably never hear her again. (Notice it's 'hear' again. Hear her again instead of see her again, since I'll probably never SEE her) And I remember the last thing she said was, 'Lavo, you should try going out on you're own. You may have 'refused' to learn the area as a blind pup, but maybe now you'll take the chance to learn. Atleast the path to the pool. But, I better get home. I've been wandering a bit too much! Goodbye, Lavo!' I kind of wish she would've learned my name is Deluth...or Dell more like it instead of "Lavo". But I liked the word "Lavo". I don't remember when, but she had told me Lavo means water."
"I did take her advice. I've learned of new places to find scraps of meat and some fruit, and I've memorized the way to the pool. I've also learned where a river is, and every time it rains, I'm always outside. I hope I thanked her, even though I don't remember, when I said goodbye. For helping me find the fifth unforgotten. Even if I am desperate to SEE it".

Username: ~Free|As|The|Wind~
Name: His name would be Jacob and his nickname would be Jake.
Gender: Male
Why does he dislike being blind?: Jake doesn't like being blind because he can't see the beautiful colors of the world and he can never see his friends. He also dislikes the dreams he has of being able to finally see and be welcome and treated nicer instead of being treated poorly by the other Kia's.
Theme Song:
I couldn't decide between Stronger-Kelly Clarkson or Try-Pink, because both are great songs that seem to fit this little guy perfectly.
