Opal

Here she is!
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
one of the worst memories Opal has is the loss of her first fish, Frisco. He was a crowntail betta, blue and white with one little speck of red on his belly. He was a gorgeous fish, a present for her tenth birthday. He was all hers to care for, and boy did she love him. He lived for almost two years before one day, she woke up to feed him and he had suddenly, out of the blue, died. She'd broken down sobbing, and it was all her parents could do to simply try to quiet her down. She tried to convince them to take him to a pet hospital, which of course in hindsight could almost be comical, but it really spoke for how devastated she was. She'd drawn pictures of him all over her school notebooks, and even took some flash-inhibited photographs of the little guy from time to time. The day of his death, her parents couldn't get her to eat a thing, and eventually they convinced her to allow them to take him out and have a proper funeral, but even that was a struggle. She decorated a box for him with some of his tank decorations and even some fish food, along with a handwritten note of farewell and some glitter to make it even prettier for him. She cried through the whole ordeal, and again it was an effort to drag the poor girl back inside. By that time, it was only mid afternoon, but the emotional trauma and lack of energy drained her, and she fell asleep before dinner. Finally, in the middle of the night she awoke to a rumbling stomach. She got up and instinctively went to check on Frisco, which only led to more tears, but... After a midnight snack and a moonlit visit to his grave to say her own, final, private goodbyes, she crawled back into bed and teary-eyed, finally lulled herself to sleep.

Kalon Name: Ameralia
Link to Kalon: boop
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
When Ame lost her mom, she was heartbroken. They had both seen it coming for some time, but she was by no means prepared for the loss emotionally. Her mom was literally everything to her- practically the only company she had, considering they had lived in a remote place in a forest. For days after, she ate little to nothing, didn't maintain herself, and basically ceased to be functional. Ame saw no point in the small world she lived in without her mother. This changed, however, when she saw the first budding of flowers the upcoming spring. Not to be too cliche, but, seeing the new life- despite the buds having previously been through a ruthless winter, they persisted- she saw new hope and the will to continue. Although her mother's passing has made a mark in her life, Ameralia is slowly but surely moving toward.

Kalon Name: Westin

Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them: Westin remembers that day, vividly. He knew it was coming, he walked up o his house after working a days shift at a local resturaunt. It wasn't a big house by any means it was small and barely had enough room for his bedroom and kitchen, let alone the living and bath rooms cramed into it. But, it was still home. He looked at the door. There it was, writing in bright red ink on. Small sheet of paper, "Foreclosure Notice" he knew he wouldn't be able to pay for it, the bank would come in a week. He broke diwn, sobbing, he felt upset at himself, angry with himself, he couldn't even pinpoint all of the emotions he felt. He just sat there, leaning against his door. Sobbing. After he got himself back together he collected a bag with all of his things, and left to stay with at his friend Mavis' place, which was at the time, a college dorm.

Kalon Name: Avery
Link to Kalon: boop
Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
(( I couldn't resist, I needed a little SPN babe. ))

Little Avery walked along a dirt road, her head hung low, her small red paws dusty after her long trek. She knew the others would be looking for her now, but she wasn't going to turn back. She felt something hot on her face and was disgusted to discover that it was tears. She kept on going. Her mother was gone. Missing. She went out one morning to get groceries and just hadn't come back. Avery knew there was something they weren't telling her about the disappearance. She had seen the strange adults that had been around the house often in the previous weeks, asking questions, looking around. She was young, but she knew that she and her mom had been in hiding for quite some time, although she didn't know from what. They had a couple of friends, but not too many, and they were the ones at Avery's house now. They kept saying something about "the codex."

Avery had no idea what that was, but she did know what it looked like. It was a leather-bound book. Her mother always carried it with her. It now hung from Avery's side in a small satchel. She spotted a bridge up ahead and sped up her fumbled steps a little bit. Tears still streamed from her eyes, her heart throbbing with uncertainty and anger. How could her mother leave her like this? Skidding underneath the old stone bridge to slide to a stop before a measly stream, she looked over both shoulders to make sure no one had followed her. Maybe this book would provide some insight to where her mother was. The words spun in her teary eyes and she found it difficult to make out what was a letter and what wasn't. She saw pictures of demonish monsters and terrible things that made her skin crawl. Had one of these taken her mom? She buried her face in the pages with frustration and cried silently under the cold bridge, hoping this would all come to end and everything would go back to normal. After what seemed like an hour, footsteps were heard above her.

"Ave?" Avery!"

One of her mother's friends was calling out to her and she quickly closed the book and put it back in the satchel, securing both under a large boulder where only she would be able to find it. She wiped her eyes and waited a few minutes for the kalon to move away before emerging and then making it look like she was coming from another direction. Her heart was heavy but beating fast and Avery knew this would be the beginning of something life-changing.

Kalon Name: Danton

Write about a time when your Kalon(s) lost something important or someone close to them:
(detail the event and the emotions they felt)
BU-BOM, BU-BOM, BU-BOM
Danton's heart pounded in his chest. "Oh my god." He groaned, tugging at his hair.
BU-BOM, BU-BOM, BU-BOM
"Where?" He panted, grinding his teeth.
"Lost? No, it can't be!" Danton raced around his room, papers flying every which way as he tore through stacks of old notes and drawings. He checked under the bed, in the closet, everywhere he could think of. Panic set in. His heart was going a million miles a minute in his heaving chest, his eyes darting to every corner, every hiding spot. His whiskers wiggled and jerked as he grasped his senses, his hands had a nervous twitch that he could shake off.
He had to keep looking. A stone hand clasped his heart, squeezing and squeezing, making him feel faint. He felt so sick he could vomit his whole breakfast. He'd never felt this nauseous in his whole life before, not even on that huge roller coaster he went on last summer that made him, a grown adult Kalon, actually pee his pants. Danton had never felt this worried, even when he'd lost his girlfriend's engagement ring. Finding this precious thing meant everything. Time slowed down. Seconds ticked by, the clock mocking him. Dread, fear, and paralyzing terror washed over him. His breath grew short, his chest tightened, his face turned white. He crawled desperately to his bed and flopped onto the soft comforter so that he could get a grip on his emotional bearings.
Then, a wiggle. Something's under the covers!
Danton curiously, slowly, gently lifted the corner of his blanket and peeked into the darkness. Two wide, curious eyes stared back into his.
Danton burst alive with a gasp of relief. He snuggled his little Kalon kit in his arms, kissing him all over. He found him!

Some Kalons just aren't natural parents. Some, like Danton, even lose their kits because they forget where they put them. Danton is just the special kind of parent, but he loves his kit more than life itself. Changing his carefree, no responsibilities lifestyle will be a challenge, but the reward of being a father is more than enough to make Danton fight through the obstacles.

Kalon Name:

Jolyne Jordan

anger mom

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

When Jolyne chose to risk her life to save Saverio's, she lost everything. Her job, her home, and most devastating, her biological children. Her children, already all but abandoned by their other mother, who had grown up with only Jolyne to guide them and care for them. Her children, the twins, who were barely teenagers, who she had protected for so long, who she would now abandon. It's not that she didn't love them- she loved them so hard that it hurt- but that was exactly why they could not come with her.

She didn't know what to tell them. What could she possibly say? That she was leaving them to take care of some other child, because she feared for his life more than theirs? No. But Jolyne, the protector of the small, had a duty. Her own children, though distant from their other mother, at least had one. Saverio had no one at all, except Jolyne, and her heart cried for him.

Her heart cried, too, for herself, for her babies, for Joren and Elizabeth.

Walking into the night, she turned back only once to look at Dahlia's home, where the children- her children- would live out the rest of their lives until adulthood. Her eyes caught the light, shining with a wetness so subtle it was barely there. She did not cry, for herself or Saverio or her twins.

Steeling herself against the cold night, Jolyne took Saverio's paw and lead him away.
