Who have they become?:

Though she doesn't know it, Lirit shares much in common with her mother while at the same time being undeniably and irrevocably her own person.

She is absolutely interested in other people. She wants to know everyone, and everything about them. Not only that, she is genuinely interested in what they have to say, from their deepest, most raw thoughts, to the way they fold their socks, assuming they bother with them. Lirit certainly doesn't. Lirits default position is to love other beings. When she meets someone new, she assumes that they will be friends and treats them as such. More than one person who might otherwise be unfriendly or even hostile is set so off-kilter by her open friendliness that they come to accept her version of reality, leading her to have friends from all walks of life and of all different temperaments.

Where she differs most noticeably is in her enthusiasm. Peace and serenity would not be words used to describe her. Cheerful chaos would be much more accurate. Lirit is a catalyst, constantly changing herself and in turn changing the world and the people she encounters. She loves life deeply and takes her joys wherever she finds them, from a night carousing to a short-lived fling.

In her time out in the world, she had had negative experiences and been hurt, in some cases deeply, both physically and emotionally, but she sees this simply as part of life. She feels that while you can't always control what happens to you, you can control your reactions. She chooses to be joyful. She chooses to laugh rather than to cry. She chooses not to allow others to make her life unpleasant.

She's also found a deep love of music, and while her wings keep her from using most instruments, she has a good strong singing voice and uses it often. There have been many times when she's sung for her supper or for a room in an inn, trading entertainment for the essentials. While she loves music for musics sake, she also enjoys its use as a tool for bringing people together as well as the knowledge and history often hidden in old folk songs.

it is these two things she places the most weight in, people and music. Physical belongings mean very little to her, and when she does acquire something she is often quick to give it away to someone who wants or needs it more. Things can always be taken away, lost or destroyed. Experiences and that which we carry within us can not. The singular exception to this is the locket from her mother, and even that she keeps more for her mother than for herself.

Her memories of her family have started to become hazy and vague, but she remembers them fondly and has been feeling a rising urge, a tugging to go home and reconnect.

“My candle burns at both ends; It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends It gives a lovely light!"

Name: Archelaus
Gender: Male
Miscellaneous Addition: Listen while reading form

━━━━━━━━━━ ｛ ✹ ｝━━━━━━━━━━

No friends. No family. No love. Released into the cruel world without any guidance, as helpless as can be. Archelaus only had his powerful wings to lift him free from the grasp of the ground.

After his release from his parents, he flew and flew until he found a forest. He soared down, plummeting through the thick canopy of leaves and gracefully landing down on the grass below.

Archelaus bluntly claims that he has no family inside his head when he was released into the world. His parents seem to betrayed him in Archelaus's eyes, as they have left him out in the world without help, only giving him a necklace; this made Archelaus think that his parents didn't want him.

At the time, Archelaus was oblivious of the note stuffed inside the necklace. He treated it as a symbol of protection, always keeping it around him at all times. If any danger decided to rise, he'd look down at the necklace and letting his wings fly him to safety.

It seemed like centuries that Archelaus was thriving in the forest. He needed to move. So Archelaus prepared for the journey across the plains beyond the forest, and soared away from the fores. Archelaus was now going to new lands, and leaving the forest that he once called home. Leaving the seemingly serene forest that was deeply filled with danger.

Archelaus traveled and traveled, attempting not to stress over the soreness jabbing fiercely in his wings. Archelaus was determined to find somewhere to stay and live happily, and where someone would finally respect him, unlike his parents. Something that would recognize his effort and courage. Someone that'd see his ambition, pride, bravery, determination and love.

But all of a sudden, a storm hit. Violent gray clouds grumbled as they concealed the sky, not letting the sun shed any light onto the land below. Wind screeched past Archelaus, sending chills down his spine.

The wind that shot past him made Archelaus whip around in endless circles, and ultimately making him loose his balance and plunging towards the ground below, scattered with jagged and sharp rocks. Archelaus closed his eyes, preparing for his death that laid ahead. Farewell, world. I have lived well, even if my life was short. His mind whispered as he let himself fall and fall.

━━━━━ ｛ ✹ ｝━━━━━

Archelaus wearily opened his eyes, scanning the area. For a split second he lost memory of why he was here, but everything came flooding back into his mind. A hostile storm had hit, leaving Archelaus on the bare, rocky ground he was currently sprawled on. Everything that happened seemed so distant, but he felt like he was going to get hit by a gush of wind soon.

Archelaus's eyes flitted to his neck, where in place of his necklace was nothing but a broken golden chain, the symbol that used to hang from it gone. Anxiety started to build up, but he found the pendant laying peacefully beside his tail. But it was cracked opened, and a note laid beside it, crumpled up and ripped.

Archelaus's curiosity took over as he crawled towards the note, and he could only make out a few words that were carefully written on it. But it was enough. His parents did love him after all. Before he could react next, though, a dart shot in him and he collapsed back down.

━━━━━ ｛ ✹ ｝━━━━━

Archelaus awoke, feeling bemused. What had happened? Why did he get hit with a dart? Why was he so tired? Archelaus looked at part where he got hit and narrowed his eyes. A tranquilizing dart.

"He has awoken!" A voice suddenly cried. Archelaus whipped his head around to see three other Kalons looking directly at him with both relief and excitement glinting in their eyes.

"The Storm Wing has woken!" One exclaimed, giving Archelaus a giant smile. Storm Wing? Archelaus thought, clearly puzzled. It took him a while to realize that the other Kalons must not be used to legendary ones like him, and Archelaus finally felt special once in his life. He could lay there all day if he could.

Another Kalon walked in front of Archelaus wearing a black crown with glowing blue gems embedded in. They inspected Archelaus and gave an approving nod. "Well done." He murmured, backing up.

The three other Kalons lit up with pride then scurried away, proud of impressing whoever this crowned Kalon was.

Once they left Archelaus's sight, Archelaus finally got a good look of the room around him. He was enclosed in a room with gorgeous paintings of seasonal scenes. The walls were a warm brown with gold birds painted carefully on the walls. Above him was the most stunning gold chandelier lighting up the room with a bright white glow. Paintings of glorious Kalons were hung along the walls, a few reminding him of the storm that hit and knocked him out.

"Hello, Storm Wing. I am the king of this kingdom. And simply call me King, as my true name is a closely guarded secret." The king greeted warmly, making Archelaus relax slightly. King's voice was relaxed and welcoming, and he seemed like someone Archelaus could hopefully trust.

"M...my name is Archelaus. Why am I called Storm Wing, may I ask?" Archelaus questioned.

"Well, you were found right after a storm. Appropriate enough." King let out a slight chuckle, grinning.

"How come I need the title of 'Storm Wing' then? I'm perfectly fine being called just Archelaus." Archelaus asked in confusion.

"Why not? Our kingdom has never seen a winged Kalon like you before! We thought winged Kalons were simply just stories and made up fantasies, but you have proved everyone wrong."

━━━━━ ｛ ✹ ｝━━━━━

Years had passed since Archelaus had met King. Archelaus was treated as the Kalon that Archelaus once merely wished he was treated like. A brave, young hero with a strong ambition.

Archelaus was given a life of luxury, as King would treat Archelaus as a son of some sort. King promised Archelaus the throne once he passed, and he would be given the title of King Storm Wing. A title that Archelaus could only dream of if he never found out about the kingdom he resides in.

Archelaus had became an adventurer, and he'd spend his days venturing off into the parts beyond the kingdom and bringing back fine materials for the kingdom to use. But only Archelaus knew the main reason he had become an adventurer.

Not to find new lands, new foods, new materials, or even a new kingdom.

But to find his family.

Name: Amnesty
Means: forgetting or overlooking any past offense - forgiveness
Gender: Female
Theme Song: Ghost town by Radical Face

I don't remember much of my parents or family. I knew I had one and that they cared for me, but I also knew they sent me off for some purpose. I remember flying by my siblings, laughing through the clouds as we soared in the air. I remember thinking that I would fly the farthest because I was ambitious and wanted to see how far I could go. Lastly, I remember regretting that decision as soon as I landed.

The quaint village I landed near seemed nice enough, though my aching wings caused me to plummet down into a tree so really I didn't feel the need to complain. I was hungry but mostly sore, so I decided to just take a nap on a thick branch of a grand oak to rest my wings. By the time I awoke the sun was filtering through the trees. In search of food I scrambled my way into the village. I tried to blend in as I strolled down the dirt streets, however I could feel all the eyes peering down at me. Thankfully my youthful nature pushed me onward in search of nourishment, but as a went to every bakery and butcher and market shop I was continually disappointed. At first I thought it was just because I had to money, something I really should have packed, but as I went deeper into town I started to feel claustrophobic under the stares of the vendors. Eventually a brute kalon grabbed me by the scruff and spit out at me, "What does ye think ye is doin' about our streets ey? Beasts like yens belong in the forest." I was utterly shocked and frozen as he tossed me into the dirt and roared out a loud "SCRAM". I quickly rose to my...um wings and took to the skies.

I landed back on my perch, my stomach clawing at me begging for sustenance. I ignored it as it antagonized my every movement and I tried to grip comfortably on the branch and sleep. However, as I perched there and began to wallow in hatred for those in the village, I saw the locket around my neck shimmer. I couldn't remember much about my childhood before that point, but I did know that I was sent out for a purpose. Having flown so far and feeling disgraced, my young mind came to the conclusion that I must have been sent out to experience persecution. Why else would I be named Amnesty except to have to endure the harshness and cruelty of the world and learn to forgive. But that was easier said than done.

Every few days I would sneak into the village while it was dark and try to scavenge some scraps of food. More often then not I would end up scurrying to the woods after being swept away by an angry inn keeper. The town began to call me the Fury in the Forest and would tell kids to stay away from the darkness that lay beyond the village gates. Finally after a few months I saw a poster on a small cottage advertising a reward for "taking care of the beast in the woods". A crude drawing of me was depicted on the front. I had was drawn with large fangs in the shape of lightning bolts and stood towering above a tree. Though it scared me to think they wanted me gone, I couldn't help but chuckle at the poster due to its blatant inaccuracies about my appearance, so I ripped it of the stone wall and flew back into the woods.
The first few groups to try and catch me were extremely pathetic. I did nothing to try and harm them, only hopped from branch to branch as they chased me, but each of them were so clumsy they could barely catch up. Often they would trip and try and blame my "magical abilities" to make a tree limb appear out of no where. However, eventually the hunters became more determined and skilled. I had to start hiding and covering my scent everywhere I went to prevent them from getting a lead on my location. Keeping them away became increasingly difficult and I started to worry if I should return home. However, I had stayed so long I could barely recall the way back. I barely slept and ate due to the stress and knew I needed to escape soon or I would never survive. However, then the wandering knight came to town. I heard the excitement in the village as this "hero" strode in. Apparently they were skilled enough to have tamed a dragon. Due to my exhaustion I knew I couldn't run away from an actually skilled knight, so I decided tonight I would meet my fate.
As the sun set I heard the cheers as the knight began their journey into my domain. I gripped onto my branch and awaited the fate that would befall me. Suddenly a giant fluffy beast tackled me to the ground. It growled as it pinned me to the forest floor. I heard a voice call, "Dundee off!" and the fuzzy dragon jumped off me. I stayed put and looked to see a tall bright Kalon in front of me. They had a pack and a helmet on, but otherwise just appeared like a normal villager. They took their helmet off and peered down at the locket around my tail.
"Are you a child of Solace?"
I didn't know how to respond because hearing the name of my mother threw me off guard, but I nodded nonetheless. The knight introduced herself as Nadya and her dragon companion Dundee. She explained that she didn't plan to kill me buy instead literally take care of me and help me escape this village. She saw the reward poster and recognized the symbol on my tail as similar to my mother Solace's. Nadya then lifted me off the ground and placed me in Dundee's mane. She told me to rest and that she would take care of the rest.
Apparently she strode into the village and told them that the beast had been taken care of and won't bother them any longer. They wanted to throw a celebration for Nadya, however she declined so that we could be on our way. Ever since we have been traveling back towards my home, taking small jobs to hunt actual beasts. Dundee would do the tracking, I would scout ahead, and Nadya would finally finish the job. We became an inseparable team. I started to show interest in the medicinal properties of herbs as days past and Nadya purchased a herbal medicine book for me to study. Suddenly I began spending most days exploring the fields along our path to collect herbs. In the evenings I'd tend to Nadya and Dundee's wounds from earlier fights. After many months we returned to my home. I was nervous to return, but I realized that after traveling so long I began to forgive the villagers. They had no idea what I was and though their actions were cruel, I could forgive them and keep the pain from lingering on. Forgiveness wasn't just for the wrongdoer, but for the victim to feel release.

[~Levi~]

Username: ~Levi~
Name: Eldias El-Dee-As
Gender: female

Who have they become?

Then...

- Eldias remembers nothing about her parents or family due to being traumatised by being left as a child. she keeps a necklace from her mother (that holds some of her mothers feather) that makes her feel as though her parents loved her for sure, despite this the abandonment left some scars and she has become quite reclusive.

- she doesn't know why she's here or for why propose so for now just enjoys going from one day to the next as a free spirit.

- she became especially attached to birds due to them also having wings - she learnt to fly by watching them and since then has felt a deep connection to them. this is a reason to why she lives on the cliffs (as lots of birds live there too)

Now...

- lives on a cliff by the sea under an old ruined castle.She has made a nest on the sheer faces much like the resident sea birds, she uses any feather she sheds, along with any bird feathers and moss to make her nest more comfortable.

- she enjoys living in this hard to find, secluded spot away from others due to her enjoyment in solace. this can be traced back to her fear of abandonment (caused by being left on her own) and her terrible social skills.

- she enjoys flying a lot, especially at dawn and dusk and enjoys racing against the falcons and pulling sharp dives.

- Also she isn't that bothered by the fact that her wings make her different from other kalons, and instead embraces it, even in solitude.


- Her daily schedules include waking up before dawn and flying until the sun has risen and warmed her feathers. After she that she enters the castle where she stores a lot of her stuff that she's collected which includes anything from bat wings and rabbit bones to rare herbs and spices. But her most precious item, stored deep underground in the dungeons that has been weathered to have an opening to the cliffs, is a book. A very old book, filled with runes, recipes healing potions and spells. She has spent hours pouring over the book, deciphering it and learning. She spends most of her day in the castle, until mid afternoon where she sets off, soaring over fields of flowers in search of anything that catches her fancy as well as herbs. Finally she flies back at stores whatever she's found before tidying up her nest and the areas in the castle which she uses.

1. Eldias looking at the necklace her mother left her
2. A sea bird reacting to seeing a Kalon flying XD
3. Trying her hand at a bit of magic
4. Her preening her feathers, she does this every night to make sure they are in perfect condition
5. flying back with some new herbs that she wants to examine.

Ideas

- medieval setting, magic exists but more of a legend, there can be frequent battles but mainly near the border.
- not attached to other people, wants to protect her safe little haven of herbs and wildlife
- loves her wings
- not confident around other people
- content with life
- currently learning magic and helping any creatures she finds
