Dear Sih,
I have brought you a gem and I hope it is satisfactory for you.
We call this gem Amethyst, and its colour can vary from violet, purple, rose, lavender and mauve. The gem I have bought to you today is purple, like your fur. Many humans wear Amethyst in jewellery. In our world, Amethyst is well known for its beauty and rich colour.

Your stone awaits here

Thank you for your time.

It was warming up this day I noticed. Since the winter days had been so cold lately, it amused me. How it seemed a day before or a day after my birthday, there always seemed to be a sudden flurry of snow. Odd wasn't it? However, it's been going on the past four years I must say. But that was back in December, and now it seemed during the exam break, the mood of the sun seemed to lift. Allowing us weary study kids to have a fresh breath of air without freezing after a second. It was nice, refreshing to be able to walk around now that all my exams were over. Shaking my head, chiding myself in my mother's voice at how little warmth to protect me from the slight chill I was wearing. A simply scarf, with pastel coloured stripes, that was the softest to the touch. A hoodie, my usual wear and skinny jeans and peach coloured converse. But then again, I suppose what I wear is not a huge deal now is it? This story I'm to tell you is something that I'm still awaiting an answer. No..not an answer, a new companion. Here...let me tell you.

It was what I had described, a warmed winter day as I walked down a grey, broken Stoney path. The trees laced with glittering frost an droplets of water slowly plopping to the ground, creating slippery situations. Hearing the faint echo of...trumpets not too far off I was stunned. Had the stories I heard been true? That the faint sound of trumpets playing in the woods every now and then singled out a...Ferret? No, that wasn't right. Not a ferret, that would be obscured. I scanned my brain on stories I had heard F...Fear....Faerre! Ah, that is what it was. Almost like a fox creature, but with beautifully designed pelts, each and every one unique. As I approached a large gate I laughed quietly to myself. I had been expecting just to see the marvellous town. Not expecting so much more to my eyes.

There in the center I saw altar...are was it a stage? The two have always got me the slightest bit confused. Shrugging it off I watched a Faerre already there. Mid speech...Hm, I wish I had caught her name. My dark brown gaze flittered over the young girl's fur. The dark purple seemed to glimmer and shine when the sun hit it just right. Tipping my head thoughtfully, half smiling to myself. I wondered why this one would want to leave, where she lived seemed to beautiful...so peaceful....but my thoughts were soon answered as the young one continued on with her speech. "Try my challenge. Bring me a gem that'll woo my pretty little heart and eyes." Were the words I last heard her speak.

Seeing quite a line form for this lovely, I was slightly confused. Instead I walked around the town, enjoying the time I had left there for the day. Buying myself a steaming cup of hot chocolate and occasionally socializing with others around. I was fascinated by all the Faerres. Some running like mad, others with swords on their belt, and others just living and loving their daily lives. Just like the tales...I had thought to myself that evening. When I had made my way back to the altar thingy the Faerre was still there. By now the line had dwindled, and I wondered to myself why all the gems and stones presented has to be so 'out of this world'. I left that day, pondering it over.

The day I returned to the altar the Faerre sat there once more. The sun continuing to shine on her shimmering fur. A new line of different visitors had formed, and if have to admit it, I was slightly amused. But without second thoughts I had joined the line. Stepping onto the altar as it was my turn, slipping on the icy step. The gift I had been carrying for her flew from my pocket and landed almost like it was meant to happen at her paws. Sighing softly to myself, I simply lay on my stomach, like I had meant for that to happen. I fondly remember one halloween, when I was about four. It was icy that holiday, I couldn't make it three steps without slipping and falling. So I talked, I talked to this Faerre who's name I did not know.

"You have asked so many visitors to bring you a gem that captures your heart. And any have brought you shimmering, shining, beautiful gems to your hearts content." I paused my little speech, biting my tongue to not go off on a rant.

"But sometimes..It's the simplest things that can be the joy and wonders to a new world. What I have brought for you is simply that. An overlooked gem everyday. You may not be happy with that you see inside that small bag, but maybe one day, one day you'll learn that it was made thousands and thousands of years ago. It could have been left behind by a glacier, it could be the perfect skipping stone, it could be the finest gem in your collection, it could simply be...simple. I urge you to open the bag, but if you do not, then do not." I told her that. And that was it. That was all I said...nothing about me. I'm not sure why, but I simply wondered if this glitter catching Faerre could see beyond the trinkets of fine good or diamond.

Carefully getting to my feet, I half crawled down the Altar so not to fall. Simply making my way around the town again to enjoy what little time I had left until I had to go home. I wondered if she's open the little bag. For inside was a simply smooth grey stone. It's surface soft like silk, and a simple scratch of the nail would leave a mark. This my dear friend, was Soapstone. ---That could be carved into the most simple, or creative thing. The tales of this lovely place...They had never described the true beauty that can't be put into words. It's unique...extravagant...
Simple, wonderful. Historical, creative. It is Vinara.

Think I'll give others the opportunity <3

Yami glanced sorrowfully at the letter her father send to her, he was unable to come back home for the New year. Yami frowned slightly, she crumpled the letter and threw it aside. She couldn't believe it, he promised that he would come back! But work is work, " I hope he manage to be happy during New year. Well... If he isn't coming back, I will visit the quartz cave which I recently found, and check out the jewels. " she murmured. Twirling her hair, she thought, " I should probably sneak out, or they will think I am trying to run away. Again. " she rolled her eyes, and grabbed her bag pack and stuff some stuff inside it. She quickly tied all her bed sheets and blankets together and tied one end to the window, and threw down the other. Yami quickly climbed down, and hurried off. She decided to take the shortcut towards the quartz cave, or she might bumped into people she know, and they will report her to her dad. Yami panted slightly, she hadn't be working out for a few months. She frowned glumly and sighed, '' Guess I have to take the cab if I don't want anybody to know... And that means I would have to give a ''tip'' to the driver if I want it a secret. '' she thought. She made her way to the taxi stand, staring at the ground sliently as she headed to it.


~space~ ~space ~space~ ~space~


Yami panted, and wiped her sweat from her forehead, and crossed her fingers for luck, it seems that there is very few people who need to take the cab today, she took a wipe out of her bag, and wiped her face, and placed it into her pocket, she would throw it away. Later that is. She waited for a least 15 mintues, before she got to her turn, she than boarded the taxi. Yami gave him directions, and instructions to not say anything about her on this taxi to anyone, and the place they was going to anyone. She glanced out of the window as they drove, she bit her bottom lip when they stopped at a bridge, she pinched herself to stop herself from crying, she didn't wish to remember the sad past which took her forever to forget, she could now still remember it. She sighed, and took out a packet of chips, and ate them sliently, careful to not drop any crumbs onto the seat. At last they reached, Yami paid the fare and a tip to the driver, and walked off towards the cave, she smiled as she entered the shiny cave, she loved shiny things a lot, she grinned and picked up a few jewels that dropped off from the cave wall. All of a sudden she saw a spark in the dark cave, she frowned slightly but shrugged it off since jewels are meant to sparkle, she made her way slowly towards it...


~space~ ~space ~space~ ~space~


Yami walked towards it curiously and anxiously, when she reached there, she took out her torchlight and shone on it to get a cleaner look at it in the dark, it was a heart shaped jewel that was glowing slightly like purple but that color couldn't describe it at all. She picked it up, mesmerized by it, and as she looked at it on her palm, it was just slightly smaller than her palm. She placed it gently into her bag, and couldn't help feeling that her mood had been lifted instantly after seeing the jewel. She continued walking and was careful to not get lost, she headed north and she felt that it would be a dead end. All of a sudden, she was greeted by a glowing wall at the dead end as she reached it, she reached out towards it, and when her fingers brushed against it, it looked as if she just touched water, but that couldn't be possible as this was a cave. She frowned slightly, and reached out once more, and cautiously walked towards it, unsure of her decision, but felt as if, it was pulling her into it. Yami entered the ''mirror'' and before she knew what happened,everything blacked out. And her last thoughts was, '' Am I going to die? ''


~space~ ~space ~space~ ~space~

Yami woke up, blinking her eyes, trying to focus her vision, and once she focused, she stood up, and stretched. She glanced around and wondered where she was, she wandered about aimlessly till she saw gates. She smiled hopefully, there must be someone who lives there! She ran towards it, ran through the opened gates. She stopped when she saw a lot of people and different creatures which could talk, '' Alright Yami! Look what you got yourself into! Talking animals! '' suddenly, an old lady interrupted her thoughts, '' This is the land of faerres, and you come here to woo faerres, if you aren't here to woo one, please keep going left till you meet some- '' Yami interrupted her, '' thanks, I will find my way around. '' she sighed, and eavesdropped on a couple of people and animals conversation and soon knew what is the wooing. '' I guess a friend would be nice! I am always so lonely at home... '' she said, her voice trailing off.


~space~ ~space ~space~ ~space~

All of a sudden, she saw the spark again, the spark that led her to the heart shaped gem, Yami saw a beautiful charming faerre, she walked clumsily towards Sih, and squatted, '' Hi Sih, I am Yami. I don't have any friends, and have no experience on how to make friends. '' she laughed nervously, '' I came here to woo you, and I have a gem. '' she took it out, and placed it in front of the faerre, and smiled, '' I just found it today in a quartz cave that I hadn't explored yet, and I got here by the quartz cave too, yeah. Weird. Actually, why I am wooing you is because I want a friend to you know, go through the thick and thin with me. " she grinned slightly and continued, " I hope you can consider about this lame woo, and keep this jewel with you, it " she cocked her head to think for a moment, " goes well with you. " she smiled now, and walked away. Yami glanced back at Sih before continuing to walk towards a dark corner, she sat down and took out a sandwich and nom on it.

The gem that she gave to Sih

:'D I'm glad everyone's so welcoming to the 'revival' of the thread ;u; honestly, I did consider on letting the thread just die naturally, but seeing this being my most successful adoptable thread and the most... enjoyable for me, I couldn't really part entirely with it ;3;

I'm planning on redecorating the front page, drawing up some new banners, so look forward to the new look of the thread! Hopefully it'll bring more attention to the thread Cx

[Diddlebug]

Yay!!! I am so excited that this is opening again <333 absolutely can't wait
