It was a clear night with an occasional refreshing breeze traveling through the land of the Faerres. The Altar had been swept and cleaned for the big night - he stood silently behind the curtains with closed eyes and remembered. He could 'feel' the many presences that passed through the same area, the excitement, fear and nervousness that once permeated the area. The Altar was a place of parting - yet it held so many precious memories... and tonight he'll be apart of them as well. Blue eyes flashing open the Faerre pushed out from the curtains, following the phantom pawsteps of fifty-four other Faerres that had once shared the same stage. He stood under a spotlight and squinted at the crowd. The harsh light hid the size of his audience but Borris felt oddly calm.

"Good evening creatures big and small." he started softly as he sat himself down. "I'm Borris, a simple working merchant of Vinara. These days I've been craving for adventure more and more - the mundane lifestyle of a merchant was wearing me down - I knew it was time to leave." the midnight inked Faerre stood up swiftly as he paced to the front. "But what 'adventure' am I seeking? There are so many... some dangerous, some searched for knowledge... how will I know which type of adventure I should be going on?" the Faerre tilted his head sideways in deep though before a brilliant smile brightened his face. "I know! Tell me stories of your adventures! Tell me what there is out there for me to look forward to! Tell me what being on an adventure really feels like!"

Borris will be judged in 9 days, July 15th, 2013, HK time

And there we go! Here's an Altar Faerre before I leave on my holiday trip! :'D I'll be back on the 15th to judge! Good luck everyone!

The Wanderer glanced around at the gathered crowd. He had come there quite by accident. Well, not quite by accident. He had himself just left his old life behind; well, half-life. Living among the shadows on the streets of Median wasn't a very good life. It was decent, helping the unknowing passersby, but it became horribly lonesome after a while. He had left the kingdom to liven up his own life.
He looked up as he heard Borris speak of wanting an adventure. Perhaps he hadn't wandered here by accident, but followed his feelings. Nothing happened accidentally, his Mentor would have told him. He thought about this Faerre, and his own life, and how it would be so delightful to have a companion.
Suddenly, he sighed sadly. Borris probably wouldn't want to come with him; not many creatures(at least none whom he had come in contact with) wanted to befriend a mage. He didn't talk much anyway; he was silent by nature, never having a true friend before. He glanced at the others longingly, feeling also the jubilance of people who had walked away with their new friend. He closed his eyes and exhaled, frowning. Perhaps this wouldn't work after all. But he couldn't help but listen to the nagging feeling deep inside that told him to go further, to at least try.
"Hello Borris," the Wanderer said quietly. "I understand you are looking for an adventure. I, too, am leaving my home to look for an adventure. You see, I am a mage." He paused before continuing. "I cannot tell you what we may come up against, but the Wilderness around the kingdom of Median, where I come from, stretch far and wide, and there are many undiscovered areas yet lying beyond. I can tell you that I do not plan on ever stopping, and I am very loyal to my friends. If you choose to come with me I will never abandon you; whatever we meet we will face together."
With that, the Wanderer bowed kindly.

Pisces speaks

All the thoughts documented in this form are that of the character, not the author.
[size=50][size/]
A wiry caracal slipped from the shadows. His black ears twitching, the cat sauntered across the ground, pacing around the edge of the crowd. He had been waiting here for days, sliding in and out of the shadows as he had been taught to. So far he had seen the proud warrior and the brown-eyed female faerre leave. He snorted at their choice of companion.

Human, human, human. Magic, magic, magic. Fighters, fighters, fighters. Swords, swords, swords. Blah, blah, blah. Really! If they didn't choose a human, it was some weird hybrid animal.

He half-laughed at the thought of a faerre leaving with a normal creature like himself. "Ha! The lowly fighter scout Pisces with a faerre, when so many far greater than him have failed!" He sat down calmly. "Ooh, Pisces, can I have your autograph? Ooh, Pisces, can I see your faerre? Ooh, Pisces, can I go on patrol with you? Pah! As if!" He snarled softly to himself. The caracal stood up again. His face hardened with determination. "Let's hope this one makes a decent choice for once." He trotted towards the stage. "Hello, Borris. I'm Pisces, a fighter scout of the Tsunami tribe. But you don't know anything about my people. The Tsunami tribe is a group of assorted wild cats - more on the smallish side, like me - and we're led by Nettle, a serval, and the high council. We have many ranks, and many species are part of our tribe. We live in harmony with the other tribes - most of the time, that is. And a fighter scout -" - His face revealed a wry smile - "- Is one of our lowest ranks. We shouldn't really be called fighter scouts, because we're really half lookout and half scout. Not to mention the constant, 'Can you pick me some herbs, can you watch the kittens, can you go get me a mouse -' We're basically everything at once and we don't even get paid well for it. All day, patrolling the territory, watching the kittens, then spending the night at the top of a tree and not even seeing anything. Although," He added as an afterthought, "I guess watching the nocturnal life is pretty cool. But seriously, we get treated like servant robots. And one more thing about my tribe, we live in Canada, which comes as a shock, but hey, deal with it." He finished smoothly.

"Well, just a bit more about myself - My name's Pisces, I'm a fighter scout for the Tsunami tribe, and I would describe myself as adventurous, smart, sarcastic and independent, and some of that was a recap. Now on to our next order of business." Pisces sat down, surveying the handsome faerre from keen, ice-blue eyes.

"You wanted a story. I'll give you a story. Let me tell you about my first really big adventure." Pisces settled himself into a more comfortable position. "Listen carefully, because I hate repeating myself."

❝Just for the record, this was about an animal year ago, so I was about fourteen. I wasn't yet part of this tribe. I decided I wanted to go somewhere, do something. So I did - my best friend then was a cat named Aries. Funny how things work out, with us both being named like we are. So I walked up to Aries and said, "Aries, let's go on an adventure! We'll go all the way to that island we can see from your tree!" Aries was doubtful, but eventually she agreed. So we pretended to be visiting a new cat we had heard moved in, who of course didn't exist, but we got out of my yard. So, that done we headed down to the lakeshore. Now, let me teach you a little about adventure. It's hard in a group, but even harder alone. If I hadn't had Aries there I might not have made it. Adventure is sort of like riding a rickety old ferris wheel in the dark, beside a lake. At the top, there's a cool wind, and you feel so excited and free. Then there's a sudden drop, and if you're not careful you'll fall in the water. You're just so afraid, and confused, and almost certain you'll get murdered or something. But anyway, we forced ourselves on, and eventually we reached the lakeshore. We snuck onto a human boat and managed to jump off and swim to the island, which turned out to be a pile of rocks. We laughed at ourselves, laid on the warm flat stones, and even fished a little. We had to swim most of the way back. But it was fun. I'd like to do something crazy again sometime.❞

Pisces' eyes had been clouding over, but now he returned to reality. "That's all. I hope you never regret this decision, Borris, my friend. Good luck." He dipped his head politely and walked away. Please, let him choose me. Please.

Amu purred, laughing, " People is really scared of me huh? " she meowed delicately. She was a stunning black cat with emerald eyes, despite her appearance, she was auctully soft-hearted. She lept down to the ground from the mail box, she sighed. She knew that people considered her as a bad luck charm, but she tried her best to ignore it. Amu lept back onto the mail box and lept down to the garden. She ran quietly, heading to the patch of flowers, she glanced through it and took out a small journel. She opened it and glanced at the words,

Places to have adventure♥

<done>


- tropical meep forest
<done>


- Horses Jungle
<done>


- Faerre island
< >


- Volcanos
<done>


- Royal garden palace
<done>


- human houses

Pg.1

So far the only one was faerre island, then she had to find more places. Amu shrugged, it was better then nothing. She grabbed her bag, and placed food and the note book and a feather pen. She lept over the fence and made her way towards the royal garden palace. She lept delicately over the wall, and headed to the forest. She avoided the trees and branches, as much as possible. Amu stopped a passing squirrel and meowed, " hey furry puff. Do you happen to know where the hole is? " The squirrel squeaked angrily, " SQUIRREL AMU. NOT FURRY PUFF! anyway, walk ten pawsteps north, then five steps to east. You will find it. " Amu purred in amusement, and ran off. Following the directions given from the puff ball. She stopped, and saw nothing in front of her. She purred, laughing and took another step and started to fall. She landed safetly on her paws and walked calmly towards the gates. She hadn't seen before but cats have told her before. Amu slipped through the gaps of the gate, and meowed happily as she glanced around. Amu scampered about and found out every single thing of this place, but.. She hadn't experience it. She grinned, and walked over to the stage. She knew nothing would come out in the night, but the moon was so pretty.. Then, she heard paws, she turned and saw a faerre. It introduced itself, wanting adventure. Amu lept onto stage, " Borris, " she meowed, faking a french accent, " I'm Amu, from france. Just kidding! I'm actully from Japan, and I have travelled the whole world, having adventures, like trying to help save a princess, you know. " she purred, " I'm auctully surprise to see you here, at night. The moon is pretty isn't it? " she waved her tail as she meowed, " I heard you're wanting adventure? An a companion? " she grinned, her emerald eyes shining in the dark. " I'm a black cat with emerald eyes, people treat me as bad luck. I don't think you will though. Anyway, this is like my last adventure on my first page of my notebook. No, it is not the end. " she took out the notebook, and flipped through the pages, it was all blank excluding page 1. " I waa going to fill out more, because... it isn't the end. " she winked, grinning. " I'll tell you about one of my adventures, the trip to the tropical meep forest. While I was heading there, a lizard warned me to go away, he said a evil troll had kidnapped a princess. I refused to go, I wanted to have an adventure. That lizard bit my precious tail to make me run away, but I wasn't stupid. I knew his trick. " she winced, as she glanced at her tail, " I managed to gather more info, and then I headed to the house. The troll had registered every single animal here, so if they stepped in there, the alarm would go off. I was new there, so he didn't knew I existed. I saw the princess and escaped with her, I send her back home to gardenia, and her father, the king send the soliders with me, and killed the troll, and made the troll cancel the spell from all the animals before he was killed. " she smirked, " a happy ending right? Adventures are fun, you missed out on alot, but I don't finding more adventures at the places I have been too. " she winked, " just for you Borris. " she stood up, " I knew you won't choose a simple, ordinary black cat, for a companion. But, it was nice to speak to you. " she meowed, " farewell Borris, I'll be waiting. " for your answer. " she lept down, finding her way through the dark easily.

ah internet is hard to get xD anyways.. 6 more days until Borris judges! Good luck everyone! I'll try to get on and read the posts if the wifi here agrees with me xD

[Random Life]

She looked at Borris and smilied. " So your looking for adventure? " she asked. "Well anything can become an adventure. New and exciting things can be just outside of your front door. " She stopped and thought a bit then spoke again. " You say your not sure what type of adventure you want to go on? Why choose when you can mix them all? I've known people who have had adventures for tresure, knowledge, to see new things, to feel the danger, and just for fun all at the same time. I think it's better to go on an adventure just for adventures sake. The world has so much to offer Borris."
"One day you could be... well fighting it out with a dragon, which is one of the most fun things i've done. That dragon was much larger than I was. But most dragons are bigger than pixies." She said. " I was rather supprised when he asked me if I wished to battle. I said sure and he told me if I won he'd let me have some of his gold. So we fought, but it was more like a duel. Just for the fun of it you know?" She asked looking at Borris. " So we dueled and somehow I managed to best the dragon. And he was just as suprised as I was. I put down my sword, and we laughed. He followed through with our deal. And I actualy got some Dragons gold out of it." She pulled a gold coin out of her pocket. " Proof I'm not making up a story." she said smilling. A leaf fell of the coin. " Oh she said it apears my keepsakes from my trip to the forest are still there." She laughed.
" The world can be full of adventures, Borris. You just have to find them. " She said then smiled and then walked off.

Woot! I'm back from my vacation! And Borris will be judged tonight! :'D

Borris Has Chosen

Borris sighed as he slowly stretched his stiff limbs. Who knew the interviews could take so much out of one small Faerre? But the thoughts of the many stories told to him and the adventures waiting for him outside... Borris couldn't help but let a small smile break through his tired expression. There were a lot of adventurers and they were all so interesting. But... He turned his blue eyes towards the shadows to seek out the one creeping within it. This explorer held many promises and though his attitude left much to be desired... Borris laughed softly as he leapt off the Altar and approach the caracal.

"I hope I won't regret this decision as well my friend." he grinned.
Borris has chosen you, Midnightbird
