Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:

Midori met her fathers eyes again for what she was hoping would be their last confrontation. Kula had draped an arm over the back of the couch and gave her his attention with a dead like stare. "I know what you think but I'm no longer in collage. There is nothing holding me back from what I want to do!" She was in an anxious huff concerning this topic as she always was when she was denied. "The mafia has no place for a soft-hearted girl. Especially not if she is my daughter. You'll wind up dead." Kula's eyes were set in a unmoving way that was off-putting but decisive. His brow was drawn and his voice was harsh and commanding.

Midori twisted the hair on the back of her head angrily. She had always assumed that even beyond her fathers strong opinion he could be reasoned with. Although after the years she had pestered him he still declined her wants. It was infuriating how he got under her skin just by telling her something that she wasn't. She knew she could handle herself and never once thought she was soft-hearted.

"Fine, I guess I'll see you later then. I'm not going to keep trying at something that is impossible." she shook her head and removed herself from the conversation. "Love you" Kula said as he watched her hurry off as she had a million times before. He thought perhaps she had finally given in and sighed in relief that she hadn't grown up to have his tireless ethics.

Midori nearly ripped her door off it's hinges getting into her apartment. She grumbled unhappily shoving her belongings into bags only sure of the fact that she was headed towards the water. She knew her dad wouldn't or couldn't follow her into the sea due to his fear of open water. She had thought about leaving before but had stayed for her family, friends and school. Although now she didn't feel like any of those things mattered. She could find new family, she could make new friends and she was finished with school. Her rage was so bent that she didn't even think to say goodbye to her family before she had packed all her things and headed out to the docks.

Kalon Name: Senri Rosen
Link to Kalon: here
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
It was a mild summer day in Canada. Senri had just wanted to enjoy his usual cup of black coffee at a café when he glanced out the window and felt his heart drop. A thief had stolen his precious bike - one of the few personal belongings he had with him during his travels around the world! It wasn't too long since he lost his other bike in a car crash, and he wasn't about to let his new one go (not to mention, he wasn't sure he could afford another bike).

It certainly wasn't a good day for Senri, as he found himself falling behind in the chase. Obscenities wouldn't do anything but express his distress, and throwing an object at the thief could result in his bike breaking (which he obviously wasn't willing to do - after all, he was putting in quite an effort to retrieve the bike). However, out of the blue, a mysterious motorcyclist sped past him and managed to scare the thief into turning into an alleyway.

Heart racing, Senri and the motorcyclist were able to apprehend the thief, and Senri was happy to see that his bike was safe. The motorcyclist ended up being the same girl that served him his coffee at the café, who explained to him that he had left his credit card with her and she was there to return it (in addition to saving his bike, as it seemed).
The two parted ways, but not before the girl called, "You're welcome, Senri." Mystified at how the girl knew his name (it was from his credit card), Senri shook his head and went on his way. He figured it would be better that she didn't get to know someone like him, anyway. His mind reminded him of his lonely path as he pedaled away into the sunset like the endings to those dramatic movies.

Kalon Name: Taj

Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
16 years old.
First day at work.
Taj lost her wallet.

It was the end of the day, she had packed up her stuff and left. She soon realized that she left her wallet. Taj quickly drove back, and once she got there, worried, she searched. She was unable to find it. Taj asked the co-workers that were still there if they knew where it was out of sheer panic, and none appeared to know, but one particular person acted... off. Her boss. She noticed a lump in her boss' pocket, immediately got suspicious, and asked what it was. He said it was nothing. It was obviously something, and attempted many times to grab it. She managed to grab it. Her wallet. She was obviously pissed, and screamed at him before quitting.

Taj managed to find another place to work, a nearby pool, with a somewhat better boss. It's at least better than the previous, she tells herself.

Kalon Name: Agnes
Link to Kalon: x
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
It all happened so quickly. Even to this day if Agnes was struggling to understand where his life had led him, he could remember. You don't typically forget a war. He remembered so clearly....too clearly that there were times when he had to hold Husk tighter, turn on the lights before shadows swallowed him whole.

Before shadowy visions left him wide eyed and crying as he remembered what others had done. What he had done. He takes off the prosthetic when this happens. It's a good replacement yes, but he wasn't born with it. Sometimes if he's really out of it, he thinks it's still there and phantom pains lace through him. He stares up at the ceiling of his bedroom and thinks of that naive boy who wanted to change the world. And he cries. Because the world didn't want to be changed and instead he'd paid a price bigger than he believed and that boy is dying if he's not already dead. He's battered and bruised and scared of what else the world has planned for him. "If only I turned left..." He breathes into the dead room knowing Husk is asleep. "Why did I turn right?" When dawn comes it's easier to breach the surface, watching the sun breaking through the night.

But sometimes you lose more than you bargained. And nothing can replace what you already had.

Sinclair, and St. John
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
(detail the event and the emotions they felt)

Sinclair & St. John's Losses

The two where called together for their final mission, as Sinclair would be leaving later that day to the islands far north. It seemed a fairly simple job, and as the two slipped away in the night towards the city they had no doubts it would go as planned. Both where quietly rejoicing their soon to come hiatus as the time seemed to fly by, and they soon where situated outside the enemy's base, awaiting the signal. Across from them where Sinclair's original unit, his father and brother, along with St. John's mentor, who sat next to the two in her usual serious stance.

"All clear." Sinclair's father called, his eyes directing at the duo across from his own team. St. John and Sinclair joined them as they slipped over the gates into the enemy's territory. Nothing was said as they traversed into the bushes surrounding the compound, their pace slow so as to avoid the attention of possible onlookers.

Yet, as they left the bushes and hid in the shadows, it occurred to them no one was there. It has been silent, and dark, with no lights or guardsmen to be seen. Nothing but an empty building was before them.

"They've already vacated the premises! But we've been watching them all day, how did they-" Sinclair's brother, Johnson, snapped, only to be cut off by a look from his father, Dunstan. They remained quiet for a few seconds, as if awaiting some sign their mission was still not to be fruitless, when St. John's mentor, Sophia, signaled they walk on, to be sure.

As they walked, however, a screeching sound put them all on alter, as a speeding vehicle came towards them. They all made a jump away from the crazy driver's aim, but it was evidently after them, pulling back them ramming forwards again, finally smashing into the metal fence, but not before sending Johnson crashing into a tree, and disorienting the party enough they were separated from each other. The driver, along with the companions the car carried along with him, exited it with precision and surrounded the area, blocking off their escapes. Much to their surprise, it was not the enemy, but one of their own- one of the higher ups of their agency, and he stood surveying them coldly.

"Why?" Was what Dunstan asked, as he tried to help his son to his feet, but Johnson was too lightheaded to stand.
"We needed a quiet place to get rid of you, you holding too much important information to leave, yet we hold no use for you either. Thus we had to act. I am sorry none of you saw reason earlier, and that my associates... did not cooperate. That leaves me to do what needs to be done."

The group was dragged into the empty building, where, surely, this unexpected threat would end them. However, Dunstan, formerly seeming submissive as he was led along, suddenly turned and fought back, along with Sophia, shouting at the two younger (and still conscious) members of the team to leave, and giving them a chance to escape. St. John was not hesitant; he bolted out of there, expertly avoiding recapture. Sinclair tried to stay behind to help, but in the end, also made his escape, soon rushing away from the compound and into the forest.

Neither have found out, yet, what happened to those they had worked so long with. But St. John's cowardice, as he made no attempt to save his fellows, has caused a rift in the friendship they developed. Not only did they loose friends and family that day; they lost eachother's support, their places in their lifelong home at the agency, and where left with a sense of shame they did not do more.

Kalon Name: Gail Covington
Link to Kalon: xXx
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
The fight itself has become a blur to Gail over the years, but she could never forget her greatest loss--her father. Maybe he'd been hard on her as a child but Roderick had been a good parent nonetheless and Gail loved him more than the world.
However, Roderick was too protective well into his daughter's adult life. Finally in frustration Gail snapped, tired of not being allowed to live her own life. The two yelled at each other until Gail went hoarse, her tears speaking more than her words could anyway. Fighting with her beloved father like that hurt then, and still brings an ache to Gail's heart whenever it comes to mind, whenever she remembers why her daddy is gone.
After that she left, unable to look Roderick in the eye anymore. Gail knew she'd regret it and she does, since Roderick won't let her back into his life. The young Kalon fell apart after losing her father, but she's done everything she can to get back on track and stick close to Roderick, if only by following in his footsteps of documenting creatures.
