Username: galaxymouse
Kalon Name: Redwood
Prompt (up to 500 words):
Redwood was in her garden, a large Oak tree was growing beautifully in it alongside the plants. She had noticed a nest of birds had made home in the branches of the tree! Delighted, she watched the birds from a distance, carefully making sure not to startle them away. Finally, the small chicks had hatched! Redwood decided to leave a few birdfeeders out for them. The birds were growing now, brown feathers and all, but not quite ready to leave the nest.
One day when Redwood was inside, the clouds had turned a dull grey, and small drops of rain were coming down on her window of her home. She worried for the birds, but it was only light rain for now..
Eventually, in an hour, it had gone from a small scattered rain to a large booming thunderstorm. The furious wind shook the leaves of the oak tree and all the plants, and large booms of thunder and lightning were seen and heard.
Now Redwood was even more concerned, she looked outside, but could barely see the nest over all this rain. She sighed, heading back inside.
A large boom outside shook her home, then a crackling noise, and a thud. Startled, Redwood race outside to find her Oak tree had gotten hit by thunder and had fallen over. Shocked, she remembered about the birds! Without thinking twice, she rushed outside, immediately hit by the persistent rain.
Making her way towards the tree, she found the branch broken off, nest fallen over, and the two parent birds were nowhere to be seen. She turned over the nest and found a small chick, chirping in fright. Redwood had to do something! She picked up the bird, it's home destroyed, she would give it a newer, safer one. She brought it inside, immediately got the fireplace running, and put the bird in a small, soft towel and warmed it up.
Mind racing, she had no idea how to take care of a chick and quickly did some research. Using this to guide her, she looked after the chick until it was a young adult.
Now, the small chick had grown into a young adult, and Redwood and the bird became best friends. The bird loves to nestle in her fur and hair, and perch on her head. They both look after the garden, which now grows a new oak tree they had planted recently. She lets the bird fly around her home and go outside, even if it means the bird leaving.
Now... Redwood needs to find some way to communicate with the bird, just in case anything happens. Using different kinds of whistles that mean different things, they can communicate easily in birdsong. But not the complex kind.
But the bird always comes back, not ready to leave forever. Inspired by this small one, she opened a sanctuary for sick and injured birds, even abandoned ones. Kalons are grateful for this, glad their birds are safe.


496/500
(That is the most I have typed for a prompt woah)

Extra (if applicable): Stuff about the birb!
    Their name is Shinobu ( means that someone is very enduring, like how they endured the storm) and after looking up some research, Redwood found they are a House Wren!
    Likes: Spending time with Redwood, helping out, flying, bird baths and perching in various places.
    Dislikes: thunderstorms and rain, being lonely, being sick or bored, messy areas, missing Redwood
    Other stuff: Shinobu (named by Redwood) usually enjoys socializing with other birbs, especially at the sanctuary for the birbs, and is not a loud bird like you would expect, but they do sometimes chirp. They like to help, but sometimes will get the chance to fly around for a bit outside and go somewhere for a bit. They always return, because Shinobu misses Redwood if gone too long, but will always chirp about their short trip.
    134/200
    (might add more if I can)

      username: silentmelody | kalon name: mu (meaning "tree" in chinese)

      the kalon wandered through their forest home with their little friend, who hopped around on their head.

      "stay still for a moment, will you? you're going to give me a headache," mu joked as they bent down to pick up a leaf and inspect it. the wren obliged and settled down in their hair.

      the leaf was an oak leaf, like the rest of the leaves in the forest. mu put it in between the pages of their journal anyways and slipped the journal into their satchel. they would catalog it later.

      they were starting to get hungry, and they hadn't eaten since the morning before. it was now the next day's afternoon, and their stomach growled loudly. the wren chirped and fluttered on top of mu's head. "don't worry, it's not an animal. i'm just starving, and i'm sure you're hungry too," they told the bird.

      as they continued along their never-ending path, they stopped by a plant with large fronds and crouched down. as mu moved the leaves aside, plump berries were revealed. their mouth watered and they reached to pick one, but the wren squawked loudly. at the bird's alarm, they retrieved their journal out of the satchel and turned pages quickly. mu came to one that had a drawing of the same plant and pointed at the berry, where a description beside it read "fairy bell. edible. bland/sweet flavor."

      mu grabbed one and stuffed it into their mouth, sighing in relief at the tastiness that flooded over their tongue. they picked another one and held it to the wren, allowing it to peck parts of it. continuing to harvest more, they hummed off-key as they worked.

      the wren pecked mu's head angrily until they stopped and began tweeting in perfect notes.

      "showoff," they muttered but laughed.

        username; ajohanna
        kalon name; ailish keelin
        prompt; it was a rainy night in the breen oakwood forest. ailish had her midnight blue cloak wrapped around her body to protect her from the pittering of rain. she wasn't very fond of getting her fur even the slightest bit wet, but she still traveled every day through breen. she's been doing it for about nine years, starting at the age of 14. the now 23 year old is a package deliverer for anybody who resides in a forest. she gets a good sum of money for doing this job as nobody would do it and the forest dwellers gladly pay a tax for her troubles.

        her ears lifted to the sound of frantic squawking - so in her nature, she decided to take a small detour to the sound. as she peered around, she noticed a small wren struggling on the ground. it seemed to have some sort of webbing on its body. her eyes lifted up and she noticed a giant tegenaria parietina, or the cardinal spider slowly slipping down its web towards the helpless bird. with quick thinking, she quickly grabbed the wren before the hungry spider could make a quick meal of it.

        "seriously? i was perfectly fine back there myself! i didn't need your help!" the bird screeched at her as it untangled his wings from the web residue. she raised a brow and glanced at the avian before responding.

        "i think i saved your feathers back there if i do say so myself. i could've left you and you would've been spider food." she mused on, still watching as he cleaned his feathers, stretching his wings and ruffling up his feathers. the bird looked up and glared at her.

        "i had it under perfect control!" he paused before having a split second of weary written on his face before scowling, "you came before i could escape!" a smile still stood on her face as ailish stood up and began to walk away, back on her path for delivering the package. the bird was taken aback by her actions and lifted himself in the air, flying slowly next to her side.

        "d-don't say a word. i'm just... just making sure you don't get into trouble!" he said rather quickly, but she could hear the slight hint of fear in his little voice. she decided to not say anything and let her new little 'friend' tag along.

        let's jump forward five years, and the two not so friendly friends are still delivering packages and mail in the forest of breen and other surrouding forests.

    Username: SilhouetteStation
    Kalon Name: Avien

    Prompt (up to 500 words):

    To say her place was cluttered would be an understatement.

    Every shelf was crammed with jars and baskets full of ingredients, half of which most people never would have heard of, a few which may have been somewhat illegal. The windows needed a clean, the floor needed a sweep, and in some rooms you couldn't walk around without tripping over something or hitting your head on the herbs that hung from the ceiling.

    Just your average witches hut plonked in the middle of the woods.

    The witch in question was muttering to herself now, leaning over a cauldron swirling with sticky, bubbling purple liquid. She added a pinch of silver dust, and wrinkled her nose when it turned back and sludgy.

    "You've done it wrong," the Wren said, perched on her shoulder, peering down. "Again."

    "Shut it," she snapped, smacking at him. He fluttered up to his perch, feathers ruffled. "You'll need to get better than that, Avien, before you can sell anything."

    She gritted her teeth. "You don't think I know that, you blasted bird? Now shut it."

    He huffed in annoyance. "Fine. Fix it yourself."

    "I will, thank you."

    She turned back to her ingredients, hand hovering over each for a few seconds before moving on to the next. Her brows furrowed. "Ah…"

    "Would you like some help?"

    "No," she said stubbornly, picking up a jar of liquid and adding a splash. The mixture seemed to solidify, before exploding in her face in a shower of chunky powder. The Wren quickly shielded his head with his wing, but Avien was covered from the shoulders up.

    She stood still for a few moments, before grabbing a rag and roughly wiping at her face.

    "Avien-"

    "I'm fine," she choked out, sniffing.

    "Are you crying?"

    "No." She sniffed again. "Just got dust in my eye."

    He let out a sigh, and flew back on to her shoulder, trying to help by brushing away powder with his wings.

    "You'll get the hang of it," he reassured her quietly, but she shook her head. "I'm a rubbish witch," she muttered.

    "No you're - well, yes, yes you are," he admitted. "But you're young. You're learning. Spells and potions can take years to master, so don't beat yourself up."

    "You're only saying that because you have to," she mumbled, wiping her tears away roughly. "You're my familiar. You're stuck with me."

    "Well - okay yes, technically we're bonded now, but I'm serious. I really do believe in you."

    She glanced at him, eyelashes wet, but she'd stopped sniffing. "Really?"

    "Yes," he insisted. "So stop moping, okay? Get this cleaned up, and let's try again. We'll make a good witch out of you yet."

    She gave him a watery smile and then asked, "You won't help clean up, will you?"

    "Nope," he said cheerfully, flying back up to his perch. "But you can be sure I'll be up here offering solid pointers. It's what I do best."

    She laughed. "Of course you do, Naru."

    (499/500)

    Extra (if applicable):

    Avien had always been a rather temperamental witch. She had magical blood, but the skill for making potions and spells seemed to be…lacking.

    She made a lot of mistakes. She forgot ingredient names and properties. If anything exploded, it was probably her doing.

    But, as was tradition by law of the High Witch, all magical younglings must complete training. Once completed they would receive a familiar to Bond with and would most often undergo more schooling or become an apprentice.

    As no one wanted to take Avien on, she did neither of those.

    She and her Wren familiar, who often got grumpy with each other, set up a home in the woods where Avien - with the help of Naru - would become self taught in potion making. She ignored his advice that it could be a bad idea and, as he couldn't leave her, he just had to put up with her whining and experimenting.

    He does care about her, really. Deep down. And she does like him, even if she won't admit it. They rely on each other for support. Even if their relationship can be as versatile as her potion making.

    (193/200)
