As Chiinak made his rounds, the vortex seemed to settle down. The light flickered and dimmed, the swirling slowed to a lazy spin, and the opening shrank to a modest size. Unnoticed by all, a hazy mist began to detach itself from the vortex, as if it was shedding parts of itself into its surroundings. The vortex grew and the spinning hastened once more, but it remained silent and comparatively slow compared to its other flare-ups. A smoky-tipped paw quietly emerged from the center. It lowered itself and was followed by a vividly-colored head, eyes closed, nostrils flaring with the new Ahzenai's first breath. Slowly, quietly, the rest of the Ahzenai surfaced until the dark gray tail tip finally cleared the light. The haze from the vortex then coalesced at the creature's back, and dark masses of matter materialized. She blinked open her eyes for the first time and surveyed the crowd.

By this time, she had Valcyon's attention, though a good part of the crowd had not seen her due to her silent entrance. He nodded in acknowledgement as she made her way towards him, perching herself on the rock beside him. He faced out towards the crowd and opened his mouth to declare her name, but the new Ahzenai placed a paw on his lips. Valcyon turned his head towards her in confusion. She closed her eyes and shook her head gently. Still nameless, she climbed down the rock to meet the humans.

This one was mute. It wasn't that she had a physical problem, she simply chose not to speak. No one has ever, or will ever hear her voice. She much preferred the quiet, actually. Expression, she found, was much more interesting and beautiful when nonverbal. She sniffed the air curiously and smiled. Perhaps she would become a dancer. That could potentially be fun. She continued to weave her way through the crowd, wincing at the clashing of the chatter on her ears. Ugh. The Ahzenai quickly changed tack and half-ran to a relatively deserted spot under a tree. She lay herself down and waited for her suitors, hoping to whatever god there was that there was someone who knew the art of silent speech.

Please include the word "anise" somewhere in your post for tracking purposes.

Design, story and judging by Perditio Noctis (Trying out a new name. ^^;)


Notes: This one is mute. 8D I think she should be interesting. The good thing is, you get to name her. To maximize your chances of winning, get creative! Body language! Sign language can count too, but come on, the entire woo in sign language is a little cheap. =U

Judging will take place on Sunday, April 29th, and a warning will be given depending on my schedule. I'll be judging based on how creatively you react to the Ahzenai, how well I think you match her personality, and the name you give her. You may woo this Ahzenai whether you already own her or not.

Ahzenai you're wooing: She's nameless ^^; I name her Mirine [pronounced mee-ree-neh]
Woo:

{Characters in Woo | Citrin; a faerre from Vinara(look at Taiyo's Queen for Sola's form). She is a mechanist, but is easily distracted but has a sweet heart.}

Citrin watched with curiosity. An Ahz...she had met Lokeash, Seheza, and a few others in Vinara. But she had never actually seen one walk out of the Ahzen; and the scene was purely astonishing. Citrin wagged her red-tipped tail in curiosity, trying her best to look through the croud at the Ahzenai as she waited for the iridescent one to talk. She didn't. Citrin frowned in wonder; why wasn't she talking? Then she realized she simply refused to talk.
Citrin felt slightly disappointed, but the disappointment was quickly replaced by further respect and enchantment of the beautiful Ahz. Her name...Mirine would fit. Ashenjoy told me it was the 'pure' Korean word for Galaxy---and somehow, her pelt reminds me of the Galaxy, silent, beautiful, and everlasting.

Ahzenai you're wooing:
[ I will name her if I get her ]

Woo:

Serena flicked her goldenish hair hearing from the crowds that a new Ahzenai had came from the vortex, she realized something was strange, the Ahzenai wasn't talking. The Ahzenai which was a female had beautiful light purple markings a rich colored white mane and a beautiful shade of warm crystal blue eyes and a beautiful purple for her body. Everything was beautiful, when suddenly Serena realized she was a mute. Even though the beautiful Ahzenai was a mute, it didn't bother Serena a single bit. Serena was also a more quiet type, she walk towards the Ahzenai her sea blue eyes glittering with shyness. Serena sat down when she suddenly realized she hadn't thought of a gift, " Of course! " She thought, she picked up a glowing jar from her bag and inside was rare types of butterflies which glows and shine brightly and was pure beauty. Serena whispered softly, " Here's your gift. My name is Serena, and I am a wolf in case you hadn't heard about me at all. I am here for a quiet companion to spend the rest of my days with, I tend to do some research about interesting facts sometime. I tend to dance sometime too as my hobby and singing is my hobby too but I am a bit too shy to sing in front of others.

I don't mind your muteness or whatever things you don't have, but I am sure. You can be the perfect companion for me. You are so unqiue , I love everything about you. You are like a rainbow and I am the soil so if you don't want to be my companion, I can understand. I am plain you are like.. Magnificent. Look at me, I am pure light brown black paws and ears, golden hair and sea blue eyes, and a moon on my hind leg and a moon necklace. I am way to simple, I hope you enjoy my gift and I am very sorry for my dull, horrible short speech, I bet you will choose a very unqiue companion human which isn't a wolf and is like you plus 100% unlike dull simple me with stupid hobbies. Okay enough of my chattering, I would love. Love to be your companion more then anything, please. Please keep this butterflies, it is a gift from me. I look look forward to who you choose soon. Thank you for your patient. " Serena nod her head in respect, she forced a smile, but when she look at the Ahzenai, she smiled brightly. Serena bowed slightly and went towards the corner waiting silently.

I am hoping to get her, I never felt this feeling for other Ahzenai, I felt the same feeling for Medli when I did the woo for her. I also never saw an Ahzenai almost as pretty as Medli, I hope to get her.

He sat quietly. Thinking. Waiting. Passing the time by petting his friend Rocko, the parrot. This parrot hardly moved from his perch on the boy's shoulder. Good thing to. If he was to fly away there would be no chance of the 16 year old getting him back. But the silent moment was quickly gone when Rocko cocked his head to the side. Making the boy glance that direction. He didn't have a chance to look to long, because Rocko his removed himself from the boy's shoulder and onto the ground. Beginning to walk away from the boy for unknown reasons. All the boy could do was simply follow, Rocko always knew what he was doing anyway. So there must be a reason. At least he could catch up to Rocko since he was merely walking. It made the boy laugh quietly at the sight of it.
Within' minutes, Rocko had found what he was looking for. There, lying was, of course, an Ahzenai. The boy stayed put as he stood mere feet from her, but Rocko was making his way towards her and was looking her over. Once he knew she was no threat, he simply flapped his wings and perched himself on my shoulder again. Rubbing his head against my cheek, signaling that he wanted to go, the boy simply ignored it. Because to him, the Ahzenai seemed out of place, no?
By herself, away from the chattering crowd. Most Ahzenai loved to be in the crowd, soaking up the attention. But she seemed to despise it. He was also quite surprised that he hadn't heard Valcyon announce her name. It must be beautiful for an Ahz such as herself. Who knew?
His glance went towards the other suitors that were glancing towards the Ahz. Chatter about her having no name and not wanting to speak to them. Was it true? She seemed like an outgoing one. Never judge a book by its cover though.
Soon enough the boy made himself comfortable beside the Ahz. Giving her a warm smile as a greeting. The sitting down made Rocko dismount himself from the boy's shoulder and back over towards the Ahz. Eyeing her for a minute as he soon flapped his wings in alarm once she dared not move. Quickly heading back over towards the boy and placing himself behind him. Making the boy laugh lightly once more. He soon grabbed a stick and began to write in the dirt.
Rocko's harmless It said as he smiled towards the Ahz once again. I'm Elean He wrote down below his first writing as he glanced at the Ahz for a moment. Knowing by now that she wasn't going to speak at all. It suited him just find. He liked quiet moments. You could listen to everything around you, it was soothing. Tacita? He wrote down a few minute afterwards.
"The muted child." He finally said in a soothing tone that was almost a whisper. Almost to hard for a human to hear. An Ahzenai wouldn't have a probably them. "Tacita, good Rocko?" He whispered to the parrot as Rocko spoke back the name towards him. A smile on Elean's face as he then looked back at the Ahz. "I am sure, many will come. Name you other names. But if you so desire, Tacita shall become your permanent one." He said soothingly towards her as he petted Rocko once more. "If you do join us, you will be able to return with me to where I live, and come accompany me at my work. I work at the zoo, that is how I met Rocko, and believe me, you have never seen any animal like the ones at the zoo." He whispered to her once more as he still pet Rocko gently. "Even have ones as big as yourself..and even bigger, you will surely enjoy it." He said once again happily as he quietly lifted himself from beside her and smiled lightly in farewell. Grabbing the stick once again and writing in the dirt.
If you wish to join us, we won't be far. Farewell my dear, Tacita. It read as he smiled once more to her and quietly walked away. Finding the same exact spot he and Rocko had been at before. Siting down quietly as he smiled at Rocko. Going back to letting him like before.

Ahzenai you're wooing:
The mute Ahzenai.
Yet, if I get her, I'd love her to name her Serendipity.
Woo:
I entered the familar cave, the one that seemed to touch my heart for so long. I hadn't been here for a while, and I had missed this place ever since. Of course, I wasn't the only one missing the cave. Looking ahead of me, Ohiel seemed delighted to be back, visiting his old home. That brought a tiny smile onto my face. It soon left though, like always.

The cave seemed to get darker as I continued walking, and I soon felt Ohiel against me. "You need protection.." He grumbled, looking away. That brought a smile too my face. I'll let him believe he's protecting me. The big baby, afraid of the dark. Yet, I knew that I wouldn't have any other Ahzenai with me in the cave, other then Ohiel.

Soon I saw a light up ahead, and quickened my pace, Ohiel doing the same. "Oh, this'll be fun, so much fun. Another parnter with us. A friend. I just hope they know I get to sleep next to you. And they better not eat everything.." Rolling my eyes, I continued on, and then stopped. The vortex, that familar vortex. It was acting up, and that could only mean one simple thing. A new Ahzenai.

Ohiel sat down and stared at the vortex as the new Ahzenai came out. She was sure lovely. It interested me that Valcyon didn't call out her name like he did when I had been here before. Yet, it was also interesting, that she had placed a paw over his mouth. Perhaps she didn't wish that he speak her name. Perhaps she didn't have a name. "Lets talk with her." I murmured softly, looking down to Ohiel, who nodded. "Maybe she'll join us."

Once I had come close enough to the female Ahzenai, I sat down on my knees and Ohiel sat beside me, curling his tail around his white paws. Considering the female didn't talk much, I didn't feel any stress. Nervous, wondering if she would pick me. But not because I didn't know what to say. I had always been shy, Ohiel just brought out laughter from me. "Hello there," I started softly. "I'm Ivory, and it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my friend, Ohiel." I said, motioing towards my parnter, who smiled in greeting.

"I am a traveler." I then said, waiting to see if she'd automatically back away in disgust. Yet, she stayed put. That was good. "I explore the world, visiting different parts of Earth, learning about the natural beauties. Here." I murmured, pulling some photos out of my bag, and laying them on the floor. "Here are some of the places I've been, cool, yes? Traveling is fun, and it's funner with a partner. But it's really fun traveling with a group." I hinted with a calm smile. "So, I was wondering if you'd want to join us. No pressure involved, I dont want to stress you into deciding. We do lots of fun things, when we explore. Campfires, swimming, and story telling." I said, and Ohiel nodded with happiness. "Oh yes, story telling is really fun. I like the Serendipity books." He said, eyes twinkling.

I rolled my eyes and pulled out of the old book with the purple mythical creature on the top. "This is what he's reffering too. I read a lot. Usually chapter books. But sometimes I read books my mom read when she was little. This is type of book called a Serendipity book. There are a lot, and are very nice. Perhaps, if you joined us, I'd read some too you." I murmured, gently putting the book back into my bag.

Then I stood up, dusting myself off. "Take your time when deciding, you have the freedom to pick what you like. If you wish to travel with us though, we wont be too far. You seem like a pleasure to hang out with, as a friend." I said with a smile, turning around and walking off, Ohiel at my side.


Oh yes, the traveler is back. Or, I am back. However you want to say it. :3
Also, Serendipity books are real. My mom liked them when she was a little girl, and I sorta got the Ahzenai's name from the books. Serendipity books = Serendipity the Ahezenai. ^0^

Ahzenai you're wooing: Hmm, I shall name her, Optamia

[I just love her colors. One of my favorites!]

"Anise"

Woo:
As the new Ahzenai, Chiinak went around, meeting and talking to the other Ahzenai, a quiet appearance was made. Oh, was she beautiful. She had smoky, almost black paws that merged into a dark magenta, that merged into black, and soon. It was like a pattern, her fur, on her paws, but then changed until the body fur. She had pinkish purplish fur with light, tan swirls and decorations. Gem, a quiet Ahzenai stood back as Valcoyn called her up to the Great Rock.
He motioned for her to step up, and Gem watches as she gracefully climbed the rough rock. She stood majestically, not saying one word, yet charming those who had noticed her yet. She surely charmed Gem, as she stared up at her. When Valcoyn started to speak, and announce her name, she merely silenced her with a soft paw in hs mouth. Gem widened her eyes. The new Ahzen was brave too, to do that to the leader.
Gem along one or two other quiet Ahzens watched her descend the great rock and make her rounds as well. But Gem could sense a hint of doubt and disappointment. Gem cocked her head, wondering what old be the matter. When the beautiful Ahzenai finally gave up and huffed over to a quiet spot under a tree, Gem followed. She wondered if it was about the chatty Ahzenai. All they were was excited.
Gem thought, if it was bad to be excited and chatty. The new Ahzenai certainly didn't like to talk. And gem was a good amount of quiet. She approached her again after a slight hesitation and sat in front of her.
Knowing she wouldnt speak, Gem would anyways.
"My name is Gem" she said in her quiet and whispery voice. Gem was non for not talking a great deal. She only answered important questions, but even then, she answered with measly one word answers or shaking her head yes or no. She didn't expect and answer from the quiet Ahzenai from expirience of being quiet herself, not wanting to talk, or choosing the will of not talking.
Gem knew she wouldn't talk. Just from the body language of her position and her facial features. But Gem just sat beside her, knowing she wouldn't speak, and closed her eyes.
It was a peaceful day, it wAs.

Ahzenai you're Wooing:
The mute Ahzenai, whom I would like to name Isara.
" Anise "

Woo:
"I'm done. Completely done." The last rejection had hit home with Synthesis, Esper leaving him alone to travel with another. It had been her choice, but he still couldn't help but feel bitter. Was he really that horrid? That ugly and disturbing?

"Come on, Syn," Amethyst reassured him. "You're gorgeous, they just didn't want something more amazing than them."

"I don't believe that," he snorted. If he could cry, then he would have been. "I'm going on a walk. Don't follow me."

As the black semi-equine walked away dejectedly, Amethyst turned to the Vortex. "Please, send Synthesis a companion," she prayed. "I hate to see him like this; his life has been hard enough," she whispered, holding the kitten Synthesis usually refused to let out of his sight. As she stood and stared at the vortex, she was one of the few to witness the birth of the new Ahz. A beautiful female, quiet and soft as the snow. Amethyst watched her wander down the beach and was quick to follow her. Her heart sank, though, when she caught up to the new Ahz and found someone else was already trying to Woo her. While she waited, she scribbled out a note on a piece of her white sketching paper, adorned in beautiful calligraphy. As the one before her left, she walked up to the Ahzenai before someone else could jump on front of her.

"Hello," Amethyst greeted her as she approached. "My names is Amethyst. I overhead your last Wooer saying you had no name? That's a shame. One as gorgeous as yourself deserves something simple and elegant." Amethyst paused. "I offer the name Isara. It was the name of my great grandmother, and she was a very intelligent, brave woman. Could handle a horse like no other," Amethyst gave a soft smile.

"Speaking of a horse, I want to tell you why I'm here. If you look over, do you see that black stallion, the one with the long, yellow soft spikes for a mane and the fan-like tail? That's my companion, Synthesis," she said. "He's tried to convince other Ahzenai before you, even some other species, and has been turned down every time. You see, at one time he was a normal horse, but instead of being sold into a nice, loving home, he was taken by a group of scientists who were trying to master genetic enhancements. He's the product of their success, but also their failure. He hated what they had done to him and he eventually was taken by police, who in turned called me to take him since I run a veterinary clinic and can handle all kinds of creatures. I took him in, and had to go through a long process of winning his trust. The problem is, I can't always be there to care for him. Some days I'm too busy to just go out for extended rides with him, and he loves to walk and run all over my vast property. I worry about him going alone, but with all of the creatures that have denied him he's pretty much given up on it. I don't want him to do that, but I can't change his mind."

She looked over to her shoulder as she heard River give a small mewl of curiousity. She turned back to Isara. "Oh, and this is his kitten, River. She'd be more than happy if you joined them, too." River gave another mewl, as if agreeing with Amethyst's statement. "Isara," Amethyst murmured again. "If you choose him, don't come to me. Go straight to him, and give him this," she whispered, handing her a folded piece of paper. Please consider him," Amethyst murmured. "I just want him to be happy."

With that last statement, she backed away, leaving Isara to make her decision, and she prayed that this time, fate would favor the one it had forgotten.

It was by pure luck and coincidence that Xiron had passed by the vortex that very day that the mute Ahzenai made her appearance. He stood out like a glo-stick in the shadows at the edge of the clearing where he had taken to lingerering, his eyes of endless coal the only things blending in with his surroundings. It had been says since he had spoken, and words seemed like a waste of breath and effort that could be expended elsewhere. With shadowed eyes, the white male watched the congregation around the vortex with increasing interest. He waited to hear what the lovely female would say, wanting to decipher what kind of character she would be. This was one of the many important things he had learned from Vercivis on their adventures- listen first, then act. The silence of the forest hung heavy around him, the murmuring and hubbub of the vortex clearing not reaching his patient ears just yet. This silence was expectant, waiting for the chance to burst with sound. Xiron sighed inaudibly, as this type of silence was most certainly not one of his favorites. Silence waiting for sound is not true silence at all.
Scanning the clearing, a flash of purple and the purr of the admiring crowd caught his attention as the new Ahzenai took center stage. He rose to his feet, taking a few steps closer so he could hear her words over the din. He waited, flicking and angling his ears, thinking maybe he had missed it. Then- he saw her. She shushed Valycon with one ringed, airbrushed navy paw, before weaving elegantly through the crowd without speaking a word.
Without a word.
Xiron's breath caught in his throat. Here, here was one so very different from the others. However, she was similair to himself in many ways; she obviously took enjoyment in silence, and she, too, had come from the vortex without a name. He remembered dashing into the shadows before hearing his own, only to be told by the many sleuthy suitors that had followed. His eyes followed her fluid movements through the crowd, and he could almost feel an aura of beauty and awe that followed her. He dropped farthing back into the shadows in one fluid motion as the suitors began to pursue this prize, and he decided he seriously needed to consider what he was doing here.
It took him about 4 seconds to decide he was going to try to 'talk' to her.
Xiron's gas element swirled lucidly around him as he glided through the shadows, much resembling a ghost. His beloved silence has been banished, now broken with the occasional fragmented, harsh sound of excited human talk. Pawsteps light, the distance between himself and the Ahzenai grew shorter, until eventually, he was within her sight, if she were to so choose to look his way. He made no sound as he approached, wanting to be silence himself, as she was. He could learn so much from her. Every movement he made now seemed clumsy and forced in comparison to hers, and his precious silence seemed full of unspoken questions. Taking a deep breath, Xiron placed another paw into the clearing, fully slipping from the shadows. He greeted her with only a small dip of his head, then stood still, waiting to taste the silence that settled around them. A couple suitors, confused by his quiet entrance, stepped back, giving them space. Xiron's white mane was ruffled by a light wind that blew across the clearing, carrying the sounds of rustling leaves and the whisper of secrets.
It was then that he began to realize there was a song to silence, and he wanted desperatley to share it with her.
Smiling faintly, he cocked one ear towards the wind, and the other in her direction. Closing his eyes, he listened deeply, breathing in the sound. To him, the wind seemed to whistle his name; Xiron... X iiii ron... He peeked curiously at her, wondering what she was hearing in her song. Rising to his paws, he began to move fluidly, languidly at first, mimicking the wind. Somehow, somehow he would share the song of silence with her. He picked up speed as he began to to twirl, bending an leaping as leaved cascaded around his moving body. He was wind. He was silence. And suddenly, again, he understood what made her graceful. Slowing to a stop as the wind died down, Xiron settled into another form of silence, this one feeling light and pleasurable. The orbs of his element bobbed slowly around him, and he swept his tail lightly over the earth, creating what he thought was a stage for her.
It was then that he spoke only one word-
"Dance?"
-before that same wind snatched it away.

Sorry to be a little mini mod, but Forever, you can't role play the Ahz. As in you can't say she started doing sign-language. It's against the rules.
