[Liliette]

I'm sorry to tell you but I'm dropping out on Kiamara #350

It's not that I lost interest in him/her, it's just that I got a little discouraged and I really don't know what it takes to win a popular adoptable like this. My coding skills and that good as others and I can't say I'm good at writing, I have grammar mistakes and typos and whatever I say sometimes doesn't make any sense at all whatsoever. Good luck to everyone who is still trying out for this Kiamara, don't feel discouraged and over judge yourself like me to the point where you just don't want to enter anymore, and I bet all of your forms will turn out amazing, so don't forget that, k? :p
Good luck to everyone out there that is entering for this beautiful Kia <3

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Dropping out, I didn't get the chance to finish.

{:Name game:}
"But mum!" Orion cried out.
"No buts Orion your name is perfect the way it is. His mother scolded padding out the door.
"No its not! Orion is a horrible name!" He pouted sitting by the door frame.
His mother sighed turning back to him.
"Well then what would make a good name?"
Orion thought for some time before a grin covered his face.
"Zeus!" He exclaimed smiling. "I want to be called Zeus!" His mother shook her head.
"There is no way i am naming my son after some mythical god!"
"But mum! Its so much better tha.."
"Orion!" His mother glared cutting him off.
"Bu.."
"I don't want to hear any more of this! No go to your room!" She yelled. Orion turned and stormed back inside slamming the door behind him.
Orion dashed to the back door and raced outside, he knew where he was going.
Orion stopped by the large oak tree that overlooked the ocean from the cliff above. He loved this place, the smell, the freedom, the constant yelling from the birds, to him this was paradise.
He reached up into the branches of the tree grabbing his dock from the hollow it sat in. He carefully placed his iPod onto the dock and began to play Riptide.
~Lady, running down to the riptide,
Taken away to the dark side
I wanna be your left hand man,
I love you when you're singing that song, and i gotta a lump in my throat cause you gone and sang the words wrong.~
He sung along to the words blocking out everything around him.
"What ya doing?" A voice came from above him, but he was unable to hear it.
"Hello? Hellloooo??" The voice said again, waving a paw in front of his face.
"Huh...what?" He asked looking up.
A yellow Kia sat in the tree, she had leopard spots, red hair and tones of piercings, well only three but it was enough to stand out.
"Finally!" She complained. "I was here for ages!" She jumped down and landed beside him. "So what are you doing?" She asked in a tone that suggested he'd better answer correctly on the first go.
"Hiding...." He said looking at her, she was quite intimidating making him feel smaller.
"From what?" She pushed.
"My mum..." At this her eyes softened slightly.
"I know all about that" she moaned sitting down. "So why?"
"I don't like my name"
"What is it?" She smiled.
"Orion Libre"
"Thats a weird name.."
"Well whats yours?" He said getting up from his lying position. He was taller than her but still felt smaller.
"Reconnaissance" She answered proudly.
"Reconnassece?" He tried to pronounce the title she had given him.
"Never mind just call me Recon ok? Now what would your name be?"
"Zeus" He said proudly. She looked at him and snickered.
"Thats worst than the name you have already!" He felt like getting shot with a bullet.
"Whats so bad about it?!" Orion asked standing up fulling.
"I mean seriously? Zeus? Thats like so boring! Everyone has heard of that!"
"As if you would know about having a bad name, yours is great" Orion complained turning away. She stopped snickering on the spot.
"I would know more about it then you would imagine." She growled defending herself.
"You think Orion is a bad name!? What about Victoria? Do you know what a horrible name that is?!" Recon growled jumping in front of him. Orion sat down on his hunches as she leant over him.
"Its boring, but nice" he muttered.
"Nice? Its not nice!" She yelled at him, she pushed him hardly knocking him over. He stayed still for awhile and when he looked back up she had calmed down.
"Look I'm sorry! But whats so bad about it?" He asked quickly regretting it.
"I don't want to talk about it" She replied through gritted teeth.
"Ok..... Bye then..." He said walking away taking his iPod with him.
"Just stick with the name you have now" She yelled after him.
He looked back watching her trot away as if nothing had happened.
He looked towards his house lights on in the window, Zeus was the god of thunder, a leader, who lived in the skys and looked down on the smaller beings, but what did he have of those qualities? Nothing. He looked back one last time to see the yellow and red Kia disappear over a hill. No he couldn't take the name of a leader. He had always worshiped the gods that lived in the skys, followed their ways and rules. He shrugged peering at the sky, he now had a new leader to follow.



{:The Meeting:}
Orion sat quietly in the corner, Zeus on his head, his aunty was dropping off his cousin for a few days while she went to get her hair done or something. He hadn't heard much about her, he didn't even remember what her name was! But she had a brother, but he was staying somewhere else.
She was meant to be here half an hour ago Orion thought peering at the clock. As if his mind had been read the where a loud knock on the door. Orion's mother got up and disappeared out of sight. Orion fidgeted in his spot, looking down the corridor every so often. A few minutes later he heard the sound of the door shutting, just as he lost his patience waiting. He shifted to get up, only for a rush of purple to barrel him to the ground, Zeus squawked and onto his perch.
"HIYA!" The purple thing squealed. "I'm Lilla!" The purple thing, now seen to be a Kiamara, shifted herself off of him and sat down, a goofy look on her face. He looked up at her speechless from shock, She was smaller than him, but about the same size as a normal Kia, she was bright purple with green feathers, and blue spots, all together she looked overly cheerful.
"Orion, this is your cousin, Lilla, Lilla meet Orion." His mother called running past the door way. "Orion I'm going out, look after Lilla okay?" She stopped giving him a look. He smiled gingerly turning back to Lilla.
How on earth are we even slightly related?! She smiled at him before turning into the corner of the room.
"Wh...what are you doing?" He asked slowly getting up, from where she had thrown him.
"My bag, it flew over here when I was attack-hugging you!" She squealed, dragging her bag from the corner. It was a black bag with neon leopard prints, not at all his style, he found the colours rather sickly.
"Lets watch a movie!" She called bringing him from his thoughts. "We can watch one of these!" She smiled pulling out a stack of DVDs from the tiny bag.
He shifted the movies with one paw.
Rio, Rio 2, Chicken run, Chicken little, Fly away home...
"Huh maybe we are related..." He muttered looking at all the birds, before noticing the last few titles. "Then again..."
Three movies sat before him, ones he had never heard of before, Babe (Pig one), The Last Unicorn, and Ella enchanted.
"Ooo what a pretty birdy!" Orion's head snapped up, noticing that Lilla had moved faster than she should've and now sat at the bottom of Zeus's perch, pushing it with one paw.
"No Lilla!" He called out dashing forward grabbing the stand in both arms.
"What... I just wanted to see the birdy! I shall call him... Fredrick!" She clapped her paws together happily.
"No you wont, his name is Zeus, and you are going to sit over there and watch whatever movie you want." He said slowly.
"Ok!" She smiled skipping back and selecting a DVD in seconds. "This one!" She threw it at him. He watched the movie soar above his head and knock into Zeus, with a squawk and many feathers the bird fell. Orion moved and caught him lightly hugging him softly.
"Lilla!" He almost screamed, but didn't afraid of hurting Zeus's hearing. He grabbed the case and placed the movie on the player.
"Here's the remote now stay here and watch your stupid movie" He marched out of the room caring Zeus carefully.
~~~
Orion sat by his tree Zeus in front of his paws. Orion had added a pond and a few bird feeders to the tree recently, and now many birds nested in the branches. He sat down head on paws, listening to their singing, he loved this sound. The beauty of it, the silence, how calming it was. He breathed deeply, as a few birds drifted down and landed around him, two landed on his back. They had quickly gotten used to him coming there each day, and because of the patterns on his body, it looked like he almost had wings, so he could fly away with them. Fly away, that's exactly what he wanted, even if only for a day, to soar through the blue skys, surrounded by birds, the freedom he would have! But sadly he knew his dream would never come true.
Suddenly the birds all perked up noticing something moving towards them, moving as one, they all flew back into the tree. Orion turned his head to see Lilla approaching him. He turned his head away again quickly back to Zeus. He felt her shift down beside him, he turned his head slightly to see her lying down, her head on her paws, she shifted looking slightly at him, and he snapped his head back at Zeus.
"I'm sorry for hurting the bir.. Zeus.... I just get a little over excited.... I never really had a proper family, or many friends..." She began to ramble quietly. He listened to her, though he still had his eyes on Zeus. As she continued to ramble on, he sighed.
"Ok... I accept your apology, but you could've really hurt him, if his wings had been damaged enough he might've never been able to fly again." She looked at him, even though Orion still wasn't looking at her.
"How did you get the other birds to come close to you like that?" She asked, staying quite.
"Patience, quietness, and a whole lot of bird seed." He laughed at his comment. She looked to him in awe.
"Will you teach me?" She asked.
"I don't know...."
"Please!" She said becoming louder.
"Ok! just be quite!" He ushered her. She shifted around before curling into a ball. After a few minutes Orion heard light breathing. She had fallen asleep. He turned his head back to Zeus who was hopping over to her. His black eyes looked her over before flapping onto her head, and resting as well. Orion looked to the sky, Maybe they were related after all.


"If you are inspired to do something, will you get up, and take flight?"

[Offended Cockatiel]

A very gorgouse Kia. vwv can't wait to see who gets this little darling.

[~punkstache]

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

username|Hello deary, ~punkstache here <3

name|Hototo:Hopi meaning "he who whistles"

gender|Don't let Hototo's slender build and calm colors fool you, he is indeed a male.

theme|Fly Like An Eagle -Steve Miller Band

likes|day-dreaming, crafts, harmony, sky blue, clouds, nature, birds, understanding, acceptance

dislikes|cruelty, winter, rain, assumptions

poem|On soft wings they fly,
Sailing gracefully in the sky.
Perfect living works of art,
But I must stay while they depart.
If only I too could kiss my fears goodbye,
Instead I sit and let out a sigh.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
oddities|:Hototo is mute; he was born that way and has never been able to utter a word. In spite of this little inconvenience, he is able to express himself sufficiently by the use of body language and a series of whistles (bird speak as he calls it). As a matter of fact, Hototo can even communicate with birds!
:Being unable to speak, Hototo has had plenty of time to hone his other senses and has almost supernatural senses of smell, sight, touch and hearing.
:Hototo also spends a great deal of his time thinking about, well everything really, as well as daydreaming, especially about being able to fly to fly amongst the birds; beautiful creatures he sees as the essence of perfection.
:Although he is unable to talk, Hototo is more than capable of many other skills. He is a master craftsman and loves to invent things and make jewelry. He is even trying to work on a pair of mechanical wings!

personality|Hototo is an exceptionally kind and meditative kia.
He simply cannot stand to see others hurt in any way, shape or form; whether it be physically, emotionally, mentally or any other sort of way you could come up with. Simply being a witness to any of these things quite frankly tears him out of his frame. Hototo would not hesitate to give all of himself to save another.
Hototo is a deeply thoughtful individual. He spends most of his time in hard to reach places where birds gather, daydreaming and reflecting on life.
When others find out he is mute, they have a tendency to assume Hototo will expect special treatment. Some have even accused him of expressing that the world owes him something. These thoughts could not be farther from the truth. Hototo sees his inability to talk not as a disability, but as strength and has never let it slow him down.

history|:Not so long ago in a town not so out of place, there lived a young kiamara couple. They were not exceedingly wealthy, but they worked hard and made do. The young kia wife had only one wish, not of money or fame, but to simply have a young one of her own. Many months passed and one summer day the young couple had their first pup, a perfect little boy. Unfortunately it did not take long for the parents to figure out that all was not perfect with their beloved son. No matter how much they tried, they could not get him to utter a single vocal sound. Their son was born mute. All he managed to get out were feeble attempts to whistle. The young couple was heart-broken, they knew that they did not have the money for doctors, therapists and all of the other treatments their son would need. Desperate and ashamed the young couple did the only thing they knew to do… Late one night they bundled up their cherished son and set out for the edge of town. There was an orphanage far on the outskirts by the woods. With tears streaming down her soft face, the mother embraced her son for the last time and placed him in a basket at the door. Before leaving she placed something very valuable to her around the little ones neck, a bracelet made of precious blue stones. With one final kiss the two despondent parents left.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
:Sleeping peacefully through the whole hopeless ordeal, Hototo suddenly woke up and peered over the side of the basket. His tail began to flick as curiosity began to take over and he crawled out of the basket and wondered into the nearby woods. Hototo ran and played in the glow of the moonlight as he made his way deeper into the forest. Then he heard it, the beautiful song of a Nightingale; he became mesmerized by the sound. Hototo listened carefully and made his way to the source. The song bird stopped briefly when she spied the tiny pup starring up at her, a look of pure delight on his face. When she had finished her song the bird fluttered down to where Hototo sat. She looked around but could see no sign of his parents or any other kiamara’s in the area, worried about the young one she nudged him into the hollow of a nearby tree and sang to him until he fell asleep. The next morning both Hototo and the Nightingale awoke, the bird noticed the string of stones around his neck and reached out to touch them. Hototo stopped her becoming protective of the only physical link he had to his parents; then it all started to come back to him, at first he had thought it was just a bad dream but he soon realized that his parents really did leave him. At first he was filled with hate and the uttermost sense of betrayal, but his heart would simple not allow him to feel that way and he soon realized that his parents only did what they thought was best for him. The bird was starting to become worried over the young kia and decided to try and talk with him. She quickly found out that the poor lad could not speak, but he could whistle…
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
:Many weeks passed and the Nightingale had taken in Hototo and began to teach him how to speak with birds using his whistles. He also learned many valuable skills, like what foods were safe to eat and the best places to hide. One day as he was exploring the woods Hototo came across two adult kiamaras. The older kias knew this was most likely the pup who was left in the basket at the orphanage. They asked Hototo to come with them, but he became scared, he did not want to leave his bird family. He tried to run but the two kias scooped him up, Hototo began to squirm and in doing so the blue stone bracelet broke. Hototo let out a loud, long whistle and the kias set him down. As he picked up all the stones he could the Nightingale came rushing in to see what the call was about. Seeing the two kias she explained to them what had happened to Hototo and that he was mute. The kiamaras told her the best thing would be to let them bring him to the orphanage. The small bird hopped over to Hototo and told him in bird-speak what was happening, he told his bird-mom he understood and allowed the kias to take him. Many years passed and Hototo finished growing up in the orphanage. While there he learned what it was to be a kiamara, he also became a very skilled craftsman, making gadgets, jewelry, charms and a whole number of other things. In learning these skills, he was able to fasten his blue stones into new charms. When he became old enough the orphanage released him and Hototo moved to the city. There he set up a crafts shop and developed many friendships. Whenever others venture to his shop, they never fail to find Hototo on its roof, with the birds…
