.Why do you wish to have him?. I don’t even know where to start with this, really. I have wanted a Portal Rune since the first one. I mean, she was the whole reason why I really started to apply and stick around for Runes. Portal is my all-time favorite game and I have literally played the second one so many times, I can quote the whole darn game for you. I love, love, LOVE Portal so much and I desperately wanted a Portal Rune. However, I did not win, but I vowed to not give up.
When I saw this Rune, my breath was literally taken away. I fell in love immediately, and I hope I can show it with my form. Ever since I saw him, I have doodled him all the time in my notebook, I have thought of stories between him and Fizzle, I mean, he has just become my companion almost immediately. I love him so, so, so much! He is my favorite color blue, he GLOWS, and he has something from my favorite part of the whole second game. A PoTATOS. I mean, he is the perfect Rune for him and I have really loved him since the second Bena posted him.
The more I play with his personality and develop his story and draw him, the more I fall in love. I absolutely adore this Rune so much, and I have waited a long time for him to show up, ever since the first Portal Rune.
.What will you do with him?. Of course I will draw him. He will receive much fanart, and love, and stories. He will not be forgotten, not in the least. He will be a constant companion, like all of my other Runes, and I will definitely be dear in my heart forever.
Small Note: I know you are not really asking for this part, but I wanted to provide some insight on who exactly this Rune will go with..Name.Cerezia
.Gender.Female
.Appearance.PicturePlease don’t steal! It was a gift from a friend for my use only!! .Personality.Cerezia can quite simply be called an opportunist. She grew up on the streets, outcast and alone, and she knows how to take advantage of any situation so she has the upper hand. She is a thief by nature, and will take anything that catches her interest. Cerezia is sly, calm, and calculating. She doesn't act carelessly, without thinking each possibility through first. She can be quite sneaky and knows how to use the shadows to her advantage.
Years of abandonment by humans have made her callous to other being's feelings. She doesn't really care much for the company of others, and she will often give the cold shoulder to anyone that gets close. She is prickly and hard to get to know. Even to those she has been around for a while have a tough time getting her to say more than a few words. When she does talk, she is blunt and cuts straight to the point. She will say whatever comes to mind first, and doesn't even bother thinking about it later.
Cerezia has cursed pact with the Ancient of Pestilence, Mephistopheles. This means she has the power to summon pests and disease. She is a force to be reckoned with, and one should be very careful not to anger her.
Despite her being a complete misanthrope, she has a love for all runes. She travels all over Eldamore, seeking all sorts of adventure, and in the process has made friends with several Runes of all types.
.Name.Kynval
This is the name of my Dremoric guardian in Skyrim. I was talking to a friend about him, and I was wondering what he exactly he worked for because you can’t get free help. We joked around saying that he worked for potatoes. When this Rune came out, I couldn’t help but think of that conversation. I had to name him Kynval. Besides, I thought it would be funny to name something really high tech with an ancient, medieval name.
.Rune Type.Portal 2 Rune
.Gender.Male
.Breedable?.I do not think so. I probably will not grow him up due to the sheer fact that this was a really tough Rune for Bena to make, and will be probably really hard to recreate on an adult. I’m not doubting her skills or anything, it’s just tough is all! If some very small chance I do grow him up, I may breed him, but this will not happen anytime in the future. He is adorable as a baby, and a baby he will stay for a long time.
.Energetic.Kynval is super hyper and easily excitable. He loves to run about and generally be loud. It is hard to contain this little bundle of energy, especially when he teams up with Fizzle. He does not know the meaning of ‘quiet’, and you will always find him moving. He does not seem to need much sleep, but even when he does rest in the sun to recharge, he is twitching and whimpering in his sleep.
.Forgetful.Despite being something that is high tech and far beyond his time, Kynval is seriously forgetful. He sometimes forgets what he is doing or where he is going, he would even forget his dear potato if he did not love it so dearly. He is clueless and clumsy as well, and always seems to be stumbling around. He’s not ill or anything, he just gets so excited and hyper, he speeds around and just plain forgets.
.Troublemaker.Kynval is quite a prankster. His ability to produce blue portals can cause great problems and he loves to throw just about anything into the endless vortexes. Anything usually means ‘anything valuable or shiny.’ He takes great joy in watched the item slowly disappear into the dark space. He teams up with Fizzle, and the troublesome duo creates havoc all across the household, and leave chaos in their wake.
.Friendly.Kynval loves making new friends. It must come from not being on good terms with his family. He values his friends over anything else, and treasures them as if they were his real family. He can get quite protective over his friends, and a can turn downright vicious if any of his friends are in danger or get hurt. He is a wonderful friend, and trustworthy. His naivety can be a downfall when it comes to making friends, as he trusts just about anyone. He does not have a mean bone…er…circuit in his body, and is kind to everyone he meets.
.Likes.Of course he loves his potato. Well…he loves just about any potato, but the one his dad made him, he holds dear in his…heart. He loves the little spud and will talk to it like it understands him. Who knows? Maybe it can talk to him, and he is the only one able to hear, or maybe it is just a child’s imaginary friend. Other than his potato, Kynval’s best friend is Fizzle. Those two are the best of friends and get into the biggest of trouble. Kynval is a big fan of Sonic. He loves watching the blue Rune shoot across the air at fast speeds. Kynval is currently trying to get Sonic to train him so he too can fly fast, but Sonic does not seem to want to trouble himself with kids. However, Kynval is persistent and will not give up just yet.
.Dislikes. There isn’t a whole lot this little guy dislikes. He doesn’t like it when others try and smash is potato. He had enough of that with his family. He also does not like it when others are mean to his friends. He loves all of his friends dearly and will protect them his life.
This was it. This was the day he would finally leave. All this time of planning, waiting and calculating had finally paid off. He would be free. With a small flick of his tiny, metallic black wings, he took to the air. In his talons clutched his only friend, a half-roboticized potato.
He looked back at the place he had called home for the entirety of his short life. His family was there. Or, at least dragons he thought to be his family. He had always felt out of place when he was with them. His mother despised the only thing he loved, and his sister destroyed everything he cherished. Only his father did something somewhat nice for him, and that was only to keep him preoccupied and away from him. He had always felt outcast and alone, and today was the day he was doing something about it. As his tiny wings carried him forward, he looked towards the shining stars and brilliant moon and never looked back again.

Woosh. Crack! With a powerful slap from a grey-black tail, the blue Rune was sent flying and crashed painfully on the grown. With a low growl, he slowly got back to his feet. The sharp quills along his back were bristling angrily, and his lips were drawn back in a savage snarl. His opponent, was lashing his whip-like tail, and his wings were spread wide as he tried to look even more imposing. He too had his lips drawn back, showing off his much sharper teeth. A dangerous glint shown in his pupilless eyes. They were both evenly matched and ready to fight. They both started to lurch towards each other.
"Enough!" I ran in between the two runes, preventing them from reaching each other. The skidded to a halt, nearly crashing into my legs. I had my hand on hips and I scowled down at the two. Fizzle was perched on my shoulder, a worried look on his normally happy face. Iggy was standing protectively in front of Nymph, just in case the fight would grow out of hand.
Sonic and Calamity, the two combatants, were panting and glaring at each other, but made no move to attack again. Suddenly, Calamity took to the air and flew off inside the cottage, most likely to brood and think of a way to get back at his enemy. Sonic lowered his wings and sighed angrily. He smacked a nearby pebble in frustration before he too flew off at his amazing speed, leaving behind a cloud of dust and a gust of wind.
I sighed and shook my head, looking towards Fizzle. His bright red eyes reflected my worried expression. I scratched under his chin and grinned when his foot started twitching.
"Don't worry, Fizz, they will come around." I said trying to be reassuring. He looked at me, his head tilted but nodded after a few moments. He felt just as skeptical as I did. I started to head towards the forest, ready for my typical walk.
"Yell if they start acting up again." I said as I passed Iggy and Nymph. The two lovebirds nodded sleepily at me as they settled down to soak up the morning rays.
---
The forest was still waking up as Fizzle and I entered it's depths. The leaves were just beginning to turn auburn for autumn. Woodland animals were just beginning to wake up and begin their own morning routines. Birdsong was beginning to feel the crisp morning air. I think I even saw a deer slowly walking through the foliage. In all it was a peaceful morning. Brilliant and calm, cool and refreshing. Perfect hiking weather.
Fizzle eventually grew restless on my shoulder and began to flutter ahead. His ever glowing sparkler sent ethereal sparks fluttering to the ground. It was always easy to keep track of the hyperactive, navy blue Rune. He was speeding about, trying to explore every bit of the forest before our walk came to an end. I rolled my eyes, so much for being peaceful.
Suddenly, there was a loud crashing noise as something came plummeting through the branches. It was dark and fell with a startling amount of speed. With a painful thud, and a sharp squeak of pain, it struck Fizzle, and together they both slammed into the ground. There was no movement.
"Fizzle!" I screamed as I shot towards the bush he fell into. I was startled what I found. It was a Rune. Well...it looked like a Rune anyways. It was a strange looking creature. Completely made of some sort of metal and some blue glowy tubes. Fortunately, it seemed okay, as did Fizzle. They both just seemed stunned and Fizzle had the air knocked out of him. I scooped both dragons up and started to head home, just to make sure they were both okay. The strange black Rune started thrashing and wailing and reaching towards the bush again. I turned towards the bush, curious as to what he was so frantic about. It was a potato....I think so anyways. It too had bits of metal and lights like the Rune. I assumed it belonged to the stranger and scooped up the spud. Before anything else could fall out of the sky, I rushed home.
----
The two baby runes recovered rather quickly. Fizzle was bruised and a little battered by the fall, but none the worse for wear. The black Rune, whom I have decided to name Kynval, is also okay. He seemed sad for a while though, as if he was thinking about something. He also seemed a little upset that all of my other Runes seemed weary and nervous of the strange being. I wasn't going to lie, I was kinda weary of him too. However, Fizzle soon broke the ice.
Fizzle did not seem upset by the fact he had gotten tackled out of the sky. When he first approached little Kynval, he tentatively touched his wing tip to his metal coat. When nothing happened, he grew more confident and began to actually communicate and play with Kynval. It did not take long for me to realize, he was just as much of a baby as Fizzle was.
They swiftly became the best of friends and began playing and having fun just like any other Runes. They played tag, ran around outside, and were just plain rambunctious and loud. I new the Rune I had found was really special and unique, especially when he showed his ability to produce these strange blue vortexes that would send items through to somewhere, but they never came back. I quickly had to warn him not to send any of the other Runes in those portals.
Kynval is member of the family, him and his strange potato he carries around. He seems to love it here, and every day I am learning more and more about his personality. He may be strange, odd even, but he belongs here with my family, and we have welcomed him with open arms....and wings.
---
Kynval opened his bright, blue lens and look around at his sleeping friends. It had only been a few weeks, but he already felt at home and like he belongs here. He turned toward the window and saw the duel shadows if Grimald and Ganymede as the fluttered and enjoyed their night. It was strange, really. Weeks before he had been at a place that was completely different from this. He had felt alone and different, but now he felt as if he belonged. He felt as if he had a family. Cerezia, Fizzle, Iggy and Nymphaea, and the night dwelling Grimald and Ganymede were all his family. Even the aloof Sonic and dark Calamity and Mephis felt more like family to him then the runes he had left before. He looked down at the only like to his old life, his potato. The metal glimmered in the light. He curled around the tuber and smiled to himself, time for some sleep so he could greet the new day with his family, together.
