name; Taplan

gender; male

prompt; Where does he live? Taplan resides deep within the overgrown spruce forests. Tall, dark trees stretching their branches to the sky. Whether they are protecting, or they are caging is up to personal interpretation. Taplan sees them as living souls, life that speaks to him. Whispers in the wind, guiding him. He is not alone so long as he is here with the trees. But he longs for more.
Taplan lives in the stars, his mind always focused on the land he cannot quite reach. The trees stretch their branches upward, but not even the tallest spruce can get him close to catching the moon. At night he dreams he is above it all, running a hand through the stars, the galaxy swirling through his fingers. He wants to go far away, to dance between the planets. He is not alive so long as he is trapped on earth.
Maybe it's crazy, maybe it's a wild unfathomable dream. But it's where his soul lies. Lost in the stars, calling out to him from many light-years away.
One day, one day he will find a way to live where he really wishes to.

prompt;

Exhale.
The smoke from below hesitantly curled up into the thinly veiled night sky above a small broken down apartment hidden in the alley. The tiny brick building that cowered under a cobweb of telephone wires & neon night lights was home to a quiet boy named Seth. The boy was born in the same small town, & stayed in the same place as the town evolved into a popular city. Of course, the villagers who lived in the once peaceful town could not stand the new city that greeted them. Nobody could stand the flickering lights that now hung on buildings, the endless noise of automobiles & people, or the dirtiness that arose from reckless visitors. Seth was one of the few inhabitants that chose to stay in this sleepless city.

Why? His friends would ask. Forget this place, there's plenty of quieter towns out there. What's the point of staying?

I don't know, he would reply, a fake smile would form on his lips. But he did know. Although he would never admit it, he liked the soft glow of neon & the sound of laughter at night. He liked seeing the different kinds of people that passed his hidden apartment & pondering what kinds of stories they had to tell. Although he was definitely not a fan of litter & smokers who loitered in between the alleyways, he didn't want to leave the transformed city. Although this place had lost its original beauty, Seth believes he could still find beauty in this city.

Why? The question would ring in his head & press against his lips, demanding him to offer an answer. Because, this city is my friend.

A friend that Seth grew up with. A friend who has been through so much, & yet they still hold so much love for Seth. A friend, who has crafted the very essence of Seth with its stone buildings, grassy fields, & mossy creeks. This place is a friend who still embraces Seth with open arms, & he held that close to his heart.

prompt; Living deep within a dark evergreen forest Chryso has found a home in a small cave within the forest, moss almost covering the outer portion of the caves opening with a small campsite inside it. The sounds of rain pouring outside, wind blowing through the trees, and birds chirping are all why Chryso lives in the forest. The calm sounds that nature brings verses the loud noises in the city, he very much preferred the calm and quiet. Sure there may be the occasional loud noise of trees falling from winds and getting cold and wet from being out in the rain when going out for food, but it was way better than the city for him.

song: the beach by the neighbourhood

prompt:

a small, very old village with tiny houses that are beginning to crumble is the place that wes is forced to call home. him and his four older siblings live in one of, if not the, smallest house in the village. there are old, rusty buckets placed on the creaky floor boards to catch the raindrops that fall through the cracks in the wooden roof. it rains 24/7 in the village. it comes down hard, ruining most of the crops that all of the kalons depend on to live. it's hard, especially for the five siblings, but somehow they make it through. but it's not what wes wants. it's not what he dreams of, not even close.

between the house, the rain, and his four older siblings who pretend like he doesn't exist or that he's the biggest burden alive, it's not what he wants. he's past fed up. so what better to do than runaway? in wes' mind that works like a child's, that's the best thing to do. he'll be a runaway prince. january 4th, 1810, in the middle of the night, wes quietly packs a little bag and makes his way out of the sad village with a vivid picture in his mind of where he's going. a place where he's always wanted to go, but been too scared.

and after several days and nights, when the small amount of food he had taken with him was almost all used up, he discovers that where he had always dreamed of going had been so, so close. there are houses there. but they're not half falling down and they're not made out of rotting wood. they're standing tall and made out of bricks. they look brand new. he wonders if the kalons inside of them will accept him and welcome him to their grand homes. how had this been so close to him his entire life? he couldn't only dreamed this beautiful place would've been so close.

he walks straight past the houses and across the sand and puts his front paws in the ocean. his biggest fear, the thing that he can't see the end of. it's scary, but he loves it.

this'll be his new home.

Take a breath. Exhale. Feel the cool air rustle through your fur and smile. See the stars and moon reflecting in the pool and tilt your head back. Close your eyes. Wait. Open them again to find a breathtaking view of fireflies and glow worms lighting up the cave in such a way that it seems like it should belong in a dream. Damiean just seemed to... fit. His fur seemed to glow when he sat in the moonlight, and there was always a smile on his face. Damiean loved the night. He loved being in this place and feeling the thrill. The serenity of the place just so pure and untouched. Damiean chose to reside here for that reason. He was always seen as a peaceful sort of guy, and for good reason! Damiean loved everything nature. He was a very calm guy and spent the majority of his time walking through forests and just enjoying the natural enviroment around him, especially when it's raining. The relaxing pitter-patter of the drops surrounding him in the cave just seems to make everything better.

name; Leonidas
gender; Male
prompt; Leonidas doesn't really have a set home, well, it's not a set fixed place. It's everywhere and anywhere that contains nature. The fellow travelers of the night are his brothers and sisters, his aunts and uncles. As long as they travel, follow the call of nature, they have a place in his heart. The mountains really do him in, though; making him stay there longer than any other. Anything with rocky cliffs, soaring up through the clouds, and when you look down makes you wish you never climbed up in the first place, is a mountain to him. And they are the best thing's he could wish for. Running away wasn't his smartest choice, but at least the mountains have his back.

Breathing in the cold dry air, he let loose a nervous laugh. He was atop of the highest mountain in the range, and had climbed up it during the night. And now, he could see the first rays of the suns light peeking up. Although he couldn't really see the sun, he could most certainly see the stars fading. Orange, red, pink, and yellow began to show up more and more, invading the night sky. He continued to cling on to the rocky cliff face, clutching desperately to the meager holds he had. The wind was fierce and cold, almost throwing him off if he hadn't dug in harder with his pickax. But that didn't stop him from laughing with pure joy as the sun said hello, and the beauty of ragged mountains and green forest lit up below him.

The feeling in his heart soared on, the bird called joy in his heart a mighty creature. This is it, he thought, this is where I want to see all of the sunrises and sunsets.

Once she just gave up and ran away from her life and all her problems, and found herself in a beautiful forest, full of colorful peacocks. She decided to stay there, living alone with those beautiful creatures. She felt like she belong for the first time of her life.
