Medli Has Chosen

The creature ignored most (if not all) of the people who tried to woo her. She rolled her eyes at a few of them, but when she felt something comb down he back she turned her horned head around to see someone combing her fur with a jewel encrested comb. The person had been planning to comb their own hair, but was kind enough to Medli to get the tangle out of her fur. She wiped a few tears from her black fur with her tail before listening to her. "Blackberry, like the fruit? I do like blackberries." Medli said and then tilted her horned head at Serena. "And Serena. Got it." Medli said telling them that she would remember there names.

"I am Medli, but you probably already know that. I am the most beautiful Ahzenai in all of Azhen." Medli spoke a bit vainly and pointed to herself with a single paw. Companion? Medli would never really consider them her companions, more like her followers. Medli thought for a moment before speaking up, she snorted "I am not an it! I am a she!" Medli said begining to feel a little dissapointed, she had thought she had found her companion.

Medli listened to Blackberry anyways and glanced back at her every now and then. Pamper her? Oh, that sounded splendid. Medli glanced back at Blackberry and Serena. Neither were as pretty as she was, so there wouldn't be a problem with them being more beautiful than she was. A friend? Medli giggled at this part.

After a few minutes of silent contemplation and looking at the necklace that had been offered to her, "Blackberry, your offer is very kind. I just cannot accept it, for my kind does not wear things like this." Medli said looking back up into Blackberry's eyes. That and it's more beautiful than I am, if that is even possible. Medli thought before giving a small smile to her suitor. "We cannot be friends, but we may be comrades." Medli spoke and then swished her tail. "I would like to come with you, Blackberry. Your promises of pampering are splendid. Maybe even one day, I will consider you my friend."Medli told her decision to Blackberry with a look of security in her eyes.
Medli Has Chosen You *Blackberry*

A note from your pal Tus; Dear god you do not know how difficult that was! It was a close tie between many of you, but I chose Blackberry. I really liked your woo, and I loved the fact that you admitted that you were a vain person. :3 I hope Medli doesn't turn out to be too much of a handful for you. I would love to see a reply to this, so if you could please PM me one? Also please take good care of her. I gave up five rares for her. ;3 Please remember if you ever write a history for her, that she did use to travel around with my Ahzenai Garon. If you want more info on him please PM me as well. And in conclusion, I loved each and every one of you guy's forms. I really hope you don't give up on Ahzenai just because I didn't choose you. There are many other wonderful Ahzenai that have yet to be created, so keep practicing and you'll get there! You don't know how many times I had to try to finally get one from a woo! x3

Okay..could someone tell me, how does this work?
Would be very very nice :3

All of it is on the front page, however, I will break it down a little.

When an Ahzenai is available (none right now) you can attempt to win him/her with a character of yours. It can be a human, another Ahz, or anything you want really. Your story is judged by the artist, and given a number of slots. The slots are usually based on how well your story fits the Ahz, quality, creativity, and other qualities along those lines. The slots are then entered in an online random number generator like a raffle drawing. The more slots you have, the greater your chance to win. The outcomes are posted from the Ahzenai's point of view, and it has become a minor trend to write an acceptance speech from the wooers point of view. (Still need to do that for Uralon and Carora. Oops)

The vortex hardly changed this time as the new Ahz came into being. Its slow, sluggish churning became more cautious, as if afraid that it would scare off the newcomer with sudden movement. Its usual colors darkened, but with the brilliant sunset on the horizon, it was hardly noticeable to any except those that could see well in the diminishing light and were watching for it. Delicately, one paw after the other, a long-legged female made her way into existence, her head held high as she watched everyone with wide, nervous eyes. Unable to push herself back into the safety of the vortex, she dove behind the safest being she could find - Valcyon - as he softly murmured her name.

"Xeusi. Welcome."

Xeusi jumped slightly, startled, but calmed after several minutes passed and the other Ahz did not move. Cautiously, she poked her head out from the perch, watching and waiting for anyone patient and calm enough for her nerves. Her legs were sprung like the coils of a spring, ready to throw her into the safety of the trees, if needed.

Design, story and judging by -3B-
15% chance of fleeing to the wild without a suitor - and a 2% penalty increase for each advance that scares Xeusi!

Notes: Xeusi is based off of a piebald doe. As a result, she is rather skittish and scares easily, if you're not paying attention. If you start off by frightening her, chances are that she'll run away and not listen to the rest of your woo. So please be careful when writing!

Judging will take place on Saturday, March 17, and I will give a two to four-hour heads up beforehand, depending on my schedule. Keep in mind that I judge somewhat harshly based on how you manage to work with the Ahz's personality - if I don't feel that you really read and thought about your woo and how the Ahz might react based on what I've written, you will receive a significantly lower score, no matter how well-written or long it is.

Shiko gazed at vortex, watching as it slowly twisted and turned, like a vapor rising from a cup of tea. He pushed his white hair over his glass eye, covering it from view. All that was left was his unnaturally green one. He was undoubtedly sure that, if this new, doe-like Ahzenai caught a glimpse of his missing eye, she would surely be frightened. Even if the glass eye looked authentic enough.

He sighed and stretched, his white button up shirt stretching with him. His brown trench coat rested beside him, his feet trailing in the cool water of the onrushing river that expanded through Ahzen. He took a deep inhale of his cigarette, watching as it's smoke drifted through the air and vanished.

he glanced at the female again, a small smile spreading across his face. She was like a small child. Flighty and shy, gazing at everyone with doubtful eyes. He leaned forward, watching her with soft eyes and relaxing his sore legs in the water. As he sat there, he puffed a few breaths of smoke, watching as they twisted and began to form shapes in the air.

It was a small trick of his. He had learned it from a passing peddler as he was wandering through the smaller villages. He watched as the shape of a flower formed, and then slowly transformed into a sailboat as it merged with the other cloud. He breathed gently on it, letting a whiff of power escape his lips. Watching as it floated towards Xuesi, then turning around and sailing up into the sky, he smiled. The kids had always loved his little tricks and songs.

Which reminded him. He pulled out a small, wooden flute. A fox had been engraved into it's shimmering wood, giving it it's name. The Fox's Flute. He set his cigarette down and, blowing gently into the flute, he tested the notes. All sounded beautiful. Satisfied with the small instrument, Shiko began to play a small, but light, tune that blended perfectly with the sunny atmosphere outside of Ahzen. As he played, he carefully watched Xuesi, smiling all the while. She was a beautiful sight, and it made him want to smile just watching her.

So innocent. He would love her to join him. Unable to speak the words though, he could only hope that she would understand the message within his music as he played, a yearning aching in his heart as he watched her. How aggravating, sometimes, to be mute. His vocal chords ached with the wish to produce a voice, but could not due to the injury inflicted upon him when he was so young. As he played, he slowed down the pace a little, letting the music flow, like the water that flowed around his legs.

As the tune came to an end. he took a deep breath, and blew the last note, letting it linger in the air as it slowly faded away. It's ringing vibration's resided, leaving Shiko momentarily frozen as he listened peacefully to the note. It was a low G, humming through his very core. He sighed and glanced at the doe-like Ahzenai. Tipping his head to her, he smiled softly. A gesture of friendship, and a sign of peace. If she wished to join him, he promised, deep within his heart, that he would let no harm to come to her. He would protect her, and he would shield her from the things that frightened her. Like how his father shielded him.

Ahzenai you're wooing:
Xeusi
Woo:

Rider strode along, feeling the sand and dirt between his fire looking front paws. He had been staying in Ahzen, since it held a lot of ladies that he could impress. Or flirt with. All the while he avoided those male Ahz. He didn't mind other male creatures, but he couldn't stand male Ahz. No one really knew why, since he refused to even let his closest friends in on that little detail. Anyways, Rider made his way toward where Valcyon sat. Intent on at least giving the older Ahz a greeting. He may not like other male Ahz, but at least he was respectful for Valcyon. Valcyon is his elder after all. But before he could, he saw a female Azh exit the vortex. She had moved rather slowly, as if afraid to even come out. Those fire looking eyes watched the female, who looked rather pretty. What with those markings.

Rider noticed how she fled away from the Vortex before anyone could approach her. He felt slightly protective of her at that point. Traced her steps to where Valcyon sat. A good place to hide if you were skittish. He couldn't help but to smile. Xeusi reminded him of a doe and he couldn't help but feel like he needed to protect her. Being the tough bad ass that he is, he could do it. Rider was sure that the frightful female could use someone to keep her safe. Slowly padded his way toward Valcyon, since he had been half way there. Paused a few feet away, so that he can been seen by Xeusi. Nodded a hello to Valcyon before moving to the side. Making sure that his movements were slow. So not to scare the poor thing. Laid down slowly as well, flame paws crossing over each other. His flare tipped tail twitching lightly. Glanced over at the piebald colored doe. Rider did find Xeusi to be really pretty. "Hello Xeusi. My name is Rider. You remind me of a delicate flower. A really pretty one." Spoke lightly, which was different to how he normally acted. He wasn't even trying to flirt with her. If a blush could be seen on his cheeks, it would been showing right now. What was wrong with him?

He stayed relaxed though, not at all pushing the female to do anything. Being rash and the brute that he can be would be no help right now. What Xeusi needed was someone to be patient with her. To keep her safe and from any harm. He honestly felt protective of the female. "Welcome to Azhen, Xeusi. I know it's a rather big place and I do not blame you for being skittish. There is much to see and I would be honored to help show you around. To protect you from anything that would try to harm or frighten you. Or to be someone you can trust the most. I think that it would be nice to travel around with you. To see all the wonderful sights the world has to offer." Rider glanced down to his paws for a moment, wondering if he was sounding so lame. This was so not like him at all. But something about Xeusi made him act like a love sick fool. Ears twitched back against his curled horns a moment, eyes drifting back up to gaze at the pretty Ahz. "Hopefully we can travel together and get to know each other more from it." With a little nervous shift, still making sure to not startle her, he rambled on some. "When I saw you exit the vortex and look around like you had.. I had this big urge to protect you. To tell you that it is alright and that nothing will harm you. I would honestly risk my life to keep you safe, Xeusi." Looked right into her eyes again, looking honest and genuine. "I probably sound like a corny fool to you, but that is how I feel."

Rider thought that he sounded so corny and lame right now. "Whether or not you choose me. I would still be happy to be by your side and to have met you, Xeusi." Flashed her a smile, totally acting different then normal. With other females he wanted to show off, but with Xeusi he had no desire to do that. All that he desired was to keep Xeusi safe and make her feel protected. "I do not have much to offer you. Only thing that I can offer you is protection, talk and companionship." Whether or not she choose him. He would still offer that up to her. Rose to his feet slowly, making sure to not scare her at all. "I shall see you again, Xeusi and I hope you find someone that will take good care of you." What was this? Did he have a little crush on her? It seemed so. Gave her a nod and smile before padding away. Chose a nice and warm spot, keeping his eyes on Xeusi.

Ahzenai you're wooing:
Xeusi

Woo:
Synthesis heard the murmur of suitors long before he turned his head to see the female Ahz hiding behind Valcyon. His ears flicked forward and the yellow raptor spikes on his neck stood up; she looked so tiny, though she was no smaller than any other Ahzenai he had seen before. He scented the air and flicked his long green forked tongue once, seeking out her scent. She smelled of the woods, of a skittish freedom. His ears flicked back again and the spike laid flat. She would be too disturbed by his appearance; he was an ugly beast and he knew it: strange markings, an abnormal mane and tail, eyeless sockets on an otherwise normal equine face. He snorted and turned his head away. She'd flee before he even had the chance to speak. The stallion turned and trotted off into the forest, keeping slow to avoid running into anything. All he needed was a quick walk to clear his head and forget about her.

He walked for roughly an hour, but she never left his mind. Synthesis returned to the Vortex Clearing, staring at Xeusi from afar. He watched other suitors come and talk to her, give her promises, and in his chest Synthesis could feel a fire ignite, a passion to chase them all away and claim her as his own, though he didn't feel he had any chance with her. One even played for her on a flute. He was very talented; could he really compete with that? The stallion turned his head away doubtfully. Suddenly he felt pain prick his back and his head shot up, turning to look at the white-grey tabby kitten clinging onto his back. He gave a soft smile as it mewled, trying to climb onto his head. He stood patiently, staring once more at Xeusi. Finally, he decided he'd give it a try. He just prayed that he wouldn't scare her off. He cleared his throat, trying to make his deep voice more warm and welcoming, looking for a suitable voice as he approached; everything sounded to rough and deep. He grunted in frustration and took a deep breath, lowering his head in a non-threatening gesture, his spikes laying flat like a normal mane and his tail relaxing, though inside he was a nervous jumble of thoughts and fears.

As Synthesis approached the two, he bowed deeply to the lead Ahz. "Valcyon," he spoke softly. His voice wasn't soft, he mused, but at least he didn't sound irritated or pissed off. Synthesis stopped a few feet away and slowly laid down, the kitten between his ears mewling. "Hello Xeusi," he whispered, his ears tilting back doubtfully. "My name is Synthesis, it's a pleasure to meet you." The stallion paused as the kitten began to climb down from it's perch. "I apologize if I frighten you; I mean no harm and if you wish me to leave I will. I want to offer my companionship to you, as well as a place at my human's home. She lives on a ranch in Colorado, where she runs a private veterinary clinic on a large piece of land with many fields and forests to explore in. It wonderful in the summer," he murmured. He paused for a long moment, looking around nervously. He finally decided to be completely honest with her. He wanted no secrets; he'd already had too many of those in his life.

"You see, I'm fearful of telling this because I'm afraid it will frighten you, but I don't want to have any secrets. I need a companion for my eyesight as it isn't, well, normal. But despite all of my cons, I'm more than able to protect you, and I'd love it if you chose to come home with me," he whispered softly. "And I'm sure River would as well," he finished as the kitten in question mewed.
