short personality; • different • brash • wise •
some traits to its personality are obvious. kaiko is
unlike any other plumerian- the way its speaks with
pauses in the wrong places and weird customs. somehow
it manages to alienate others they are around even though
it doesn't try to, just by being itself. kaiko possesses a wiseness
that comes with being older than most plumies though
there is more than meets the eye to this plumerian...

where did it come from; ...the deepest part of
the ocean; mariana's trench... and the caves under it...
not many plumies know about the caves and even
less know how to survive down there. some of the caves
are filled with murky water but some are dry as bone.
kaiko has lived a lifetime in these caves and knows them
well though it always had that there was something more;
something that was bigger and more beautiful than its
whole life so far..

its story;
this world is full of mysteries. i
guess most people include me as
one but i dont think im strange.
i've never really viewed memories
as important so the first part
of my long life is very foggy. the
memories have got clearer
and clearer right up until now,
where they actually matter.
lets start somewhere around the
middle; here is my story.
i kicked out with my strong back legs
and shot through the dark water.
my blue and green eyes weren't very
useful in these situations so they were
shut. I felt the stone and gritty sand
under my paws as i hit the sea bed
and scrabbled to the entrance to a
dry cave. im wasnt sure why some
were full of water and some werent'
but i wasnt going to question it.
this was my life; collecting food
and trying to survive. it was a very
lonely life down there.
but then something changed. i
could feel the tremors in the water,
the creatures darting away from the
source. something big was coming.
an alien water-ship landed on the
surface. smooth sides with symbols
etched onto the side. one of these
symbols i remembered through the
fog of my memories and far in the
future; i used it as my "name".
I felt terrified yet overwhelmed
with relief!
there is more than life than i so
thought; here was proof!!
from then on i was determined
to find out more.
there's a lot of boring things and i dont have a lot of time so lets fast forward...
To this day, im still not sure how i did it. i spent hours pouring over ideas on how to get me up and out, but in the end i just swam.
up and up and up; for hours. something in me kept me from dying and i am so glad. everything around me started to get lighter. i got used to it and kept going. and then i hit the surface.. the true surface.
it was night, that first time. my whole body shook and i just floated and stared; above me was alive with pinpricks of light. sharp circles that filled my eyes. the starry night sky. and then i knew i was truly home.
