It was a long, hot day, waiting for the alter to spur to life. The large wolf-like creature sat always from the crowded gathering. His crimson eyes scanned the area curiously, but passively. Like everyone already gathered, he too had heard about the supposed mage that was to show up. It was the first mage to ever leave Vinara, and he was curious as to who it was. His long, triangular shaped ears flicked and he sighed softly in impatience. Whoever it was was certainly taking their sweet time. With a small huff, he settled into the grass to nap the hottest part of the day away. The mage faerre would show when they were good and ready, and pacing would not speed up the time.

As night fell, the painted wolf slowly got to his feet and yawned sleepily. His eyes eyes scanned the scene before him. It seemed the faerre still hadn't shown and he was beginning to doubt if there really was one. Maybe it was prank someone had set up just to see how many people would panic. He grumbled and spread his feathered, dragon wings. He was almost tired of waiting, and was about to leave when a flash of light caught his eye.

He watched curiously and calmly as the mage faerre gave her introduction. Aquelia. He smiled as he heard her name. She was a pretty little faerre, but he loved her spunk. She seemed to demand control and had a no-nonsense nature. He wagged his tail slightly as he watched her cross the stage. The question she posed was an interesting one. Why did he want a companion? He was a powerful, chimera with the affinity towards dragons. He could fly at the speed of sound and could shoot plasma bolts that would leave full grown trees as nothing more then smoldering match sticks. He could certainly hold his own in battle, and had no use for magic. So why did he come here?

With a leathery snap of wings, he took to the air. His tan and brown body soared over the assembled crowd with ease. He watched the alter with dark red eyes and waited for an opening. When there was a lull in wooers for Aquelia, he shot towards the alter and landed with a graceful thud of paws and a slight gust of air. He slowly walked toward Aquelia, but stopped at a respectful distance. He dipped his head until his black, moist nose nearly touched the alter floor.

"Hello, mage faerre, Aquelia." He finally said. His voice was deep and held power, but also was light with friendliness. He sat down and wrapped his fluffy tail around his legs, and watched the light blue faerre. "My name is Nimbus, and like the multitude of people around here, I too have come to see you." He paused and watching the faerre, his eyes glimmering with curiosity. "You have ask a great question. Why do I seek you? For power? Because you are rare?" He shook his head, and the glimmering blue gem around his neck swayed from side to side. "No. I have come for the simplest of reasons." He smiled, his tail flicking with nervous energy as if he just realized what he was about to ask. He took a deep breath, readying himself. "I have come before you, to Vinara even, because I would like a companion, a friend." He said, his grew sad. "I have traveled the world and have seen many great sights, but I have had no one to share them with. I have asked you to be my traveling companion, but we will always come back to Vinara whenever you wish. I would never ask anyone to desert their home."

After his small talk, he stood and started to walk away to let the next suitor in line. His claws made a soft ticking noise on the hardwood floor as he walked towards the end of the stage, and waited Aquelia's decision.

:Character, Theia: Species, the usual Cat: Sadly no page...:
~Trying for Aquelia~
Theia blinked open her eyes and got up quickly from her resting spot-Under a tree. Beside her was her unlit lantern and bag which she had brought into this strange world. It had been a few days after she he arrived in the strange land of Vinara, or it could be called The Land Of Faerres. The strange creatures always threw her into a deep thought-about what they were, why the Queen opened the barriers after what the humans had done, and their strange culture. Yep, she was always eager to learn whatever was out there. Only if she knew what she was learning.

Suddenly... She noticed light. Light? During this pitch black night? The only light she knew during the night was the moon, stars, lanterns... You get it, and they weren't this bright. But this light seemed strange... Theia had been still as a log, sleeping, during the Queen's speech, she had not heard whatever she said. Theia was probably the only one who never heard it! She adjusted her blue scarf before walking up to the back of the excited crowd. Theia only heard a few words from the Faerre on stage, Aquellia, Light... Craning her neck, she tried to catch even a glimpse of the pelt of the Faerre on the Altar, but failed to. She decided to go all the way to either side.

Once she was at a side, she craned her neck again. This time, she saw the Faerre leaving the premises... But caught a glimpse of the Faerre's blue pelt. It was also decorated with some exotic hues. And suddenly, all was dark and silent. Theia padded around in the darkness for a while before quickly lighting up her lantern which she had used to navigate through strange dark places during her travels for a search for the place where she could settle down. But could she really trust it now? Suddenly, the bright burning flame of her lantern went out. Not enough oil, I guess. Theia thought, but her mind quickly switched to how dark the night was now. Suddenly, she noticed a glimpse of light. Light! She thought and ran towards it.

Finally, she was padding in light. Theia walked towards towards the blue Faerre while thinking hard about what to say to Aquelia. From her looks, Theia could tell she was a Mage, a high ranked Faerre, only below the Queen of Faerres, as she heard. She didn't want to make a fool out of herself in front of such creature. " Greetings. " Theia suddenly said and raised her only silver paw with tabby markings. " I am Theia. I hail from a far away land, even further away from where humans live. " She continued, her strange accent only thinly masking her voice and put down her paw. " I want your company because I want more knowledge. This world of yours is amazing, and there is a lot to know. I may even consider settling here. Also, it is because that I do not want to live my whole life in solitary. I have met many friends from my travels, but I want someone that I can trust completely and is still loyal to whatever, whoever or whatever he or she is loyal to now. Even if you do not want to accompany me, even though I have no light expect for two similar lanterns and I know no magic, please do take something from my travels. It's okay if you do not want anything, but maybe you would consider taking at least something? " Theia dropped her bag and some stuff fell out.

(EDIT: I changed some stuff and spiffed the thing up a bit.)

The darkness was broken as the alter once more lit up in a display that seized the breath of the many crowded there. There were two figures off to the shadows however, one human shaped and the other a bird. Both set's of eyes pierced the darkness as the Queen turned into a beautiful exotic creature who's gaze looked as sharp as knives yet coolly calculating.
A girl stepped from the shadows, her blond hair falling around her shoulders, her stormy eyes taking in the scene. Her aviator jacket was curled around her frame on the chilled night. A large blue bird with long flowing feathers accompanied her, it's eyes were almost colder than the night it'self....

Bump before I leave for my trip :3

Aquelia

Lumine

Lumine padded along quietly, her soft grey fur glistening with dew. Her curious yet soft blue eyes gazed around as she padded along the beaten stony path. Her long fluffy tail trailed behind her ocassionally lifting in the air away from mud puddles. An aqua blue orb or a marble I suppose you could say graced itself around her neck. The orb glowed a soft hue of blue and seemed to swirl with never ending stars inside it. A tiny star earing on her right her bounched gingerly up and down as she padded along. She glanced up at the sky at the sun then away blinking the soft yellow dots away from her vision. Not soon after this she started to hear surprised gasps, cheers, and nervous giggles. She saw creatures soaring eagerly in the air, waiting. many other species roamed a large court yard, she couldn't see what the fuss was about. It was just another town to stop by in, nothing really new. Just as the thought entered her mind, she saw a small wolf like creature on the stage. She had white fur with verious shades of grey. The piercing ice blue eyes made her wonder, was this little creature important? Soon after the creature spoke another tok its place.

The wolf now had aqua blue fur, speckeled with lighter shades of colour. She tipped her head curiously, pricking her ears as she listened. She couldn't help but stare at the little light thing bobbing up and down...following the creature. She lifted her chin took catch a better look at the floating light thing or whatever it was. The speech of the thing intreged her and she wanted to learn more about these creatures. Why was this one so special compared to the others? She saw many roaming the not so...well less crowded streats. Some had bags strapped to them running around at a quick, never ending pace. Others she saw welding swords, their chins held high as they padded around importantly. Then there were the many 'common' creatures you could say, going about their every day lives. Why was this one so special? Perhaps it was the things markings, or the light thingy floating beside her. She heard gasps of its a mage!!!. A mage? she thought with a disdainful sniff, how was that any different from the other citizens. They all worked equally as hard, why were the...mages, any different. She listened skeptically once again the creatures speech, power abilities? She had heard correctly, the thing on the altar had the power of light at her paws. Interesting, but still why was this one being treated so differently? She still had no clue what these creatures were called, and she leaned forward asking another creature. A dragon like thing who gazed at her, or rather glared.

"You do not know? These are the Faerres! The most beautiful things here!" said the dragon and turned abrutly around to listen to the rest of the speech. A Faerre? So that's what it was called..she rolled her calm eyes. As the speech finished about the one wanting to leave just for a bit and wanting a companion Lumine padded slowly to the end of the line. Maybe these craetures were so popular and she shouldn't even be trying, but she was wondering still why this one was so darn special! Slowly but at a pace the line moved on, the sun was sliding over the sky and slowly into a sunset. Lumine shuddered, if she was to reach the altar by nightfall it would be something no one would or may have seen before. The time went on, and slowly if you looked you could see her orb glowing slightly more. As the moon reached its highest point Lumine reached her spot on the altar. She had noticed the Faerre had dissappeared, leaving nothing but the darkness. She shrugged, fine with her she'd simply talk.

"Hello Aquelia, well that is where ever you are at the moment. My name is Lumine, honestly I don't know why i'm here listening to all this of you Faerres. What makes you all so special? So popular?" she tipped head curiously sweeping her tail aroud her paws as she sat. She licked a paw drawing it over her ears and horns.

"You're a mage I hear? That's why it is so busy, may I add? Hmm...and you posess the power of light in your heart." she stated repeating what she had heard.

"Interesting, your powers are indeed different from my own, and your fur doesn'tquite match your power does it?" she said with an amused laugh. She pawed at her fluffy tails then glanced up at the darkness around her.

"I suppose you may be wondering what my power is? Well, I have the power of walking in other's dreams. To see what they feel, what they wish, and sometimes even the truth on things. Its quite interesting really, fun and interseting to see what others think. Sure it may seem wrong for privacy reasons, but when you really are confused sometimes it does help." she stated raising her chin, not afraid to state what she thought. She paused watching the glowing moon high above her.

"THe orb, or marble around my neck holds my power. See the stars swirling around it? Hmm, maybe not. ONly people that believe can see the stars and galaxies inside of it, others only see a glass bead around my neck. You wonder why people may wish you as their companion don't you? As well as to find the other half of yourself?" she tipped her head thoughtfully.

"Personally, I could care less about your powers. BUt the thing is Aquelia people love you for that quality, it makes me wonder. I've just recently met your species...interesting how they are all loved as well but you steal the show..it makes me think. I wish to learn more about you creatures, what makes a mage so special...or do you not know that reason? The true reaon Aquelia. Is it because you hold power in your paws? Is it your personality? Your status...what makes you, you? What makes you speical besides the magic quality at your paws? What makes you and other Faerres unique?" she said with slight frustration she didn't understand these species better. She thought about something then glanced around the darkness.

"What can you show me? What can you tell me? What can you teach me?" she asked confidently her long, fluffy tail lashing sweeping the dust away from the altar where her tail sweeped.

"In return, I will show you the wonders you haven't discovered, i'll tell you my species history and much more, i'll teach you about walking through dreams. I'll show you the dreams. And maybe then...you'll be able to tell me what makes you so special, or maybe you won't." she shrugged and stood up dipping her head to the darkness.

"Your future awaits you Aquelia." She said in departure as she lept off the stage and curled in the spot of moonlight, basking in it. Laying on her back her white underside seeming to glow under the rays of the moon. The orb, if you believed in magic was glowing a soft but vibrant blue, and the stars and galxies were swirling even faster, spinning and spinning...and never stopping.

Character: Anagee/human/female

I waited patiently, the mass of creatures surrounding me getting restless. I gazed up at the alter with cool, amethyst eyes, waiting for the faerre to appear. I could wait all day if I needed to. My wanderlust did not affect my patience. It only increased my desire to see more, learn more.

My name is Anagee, and I am a traveler. My bright purple eyes have made me an outcast from the village where I was born. They mark me as someone different, someone special. I have magic, and my eyes symbolize that. But people are afraid of what they do not know, so I am cast out of many places that I go.

My magic is the power of the earth, of growing things. I am still learning, and I know that I have much, much farther to go before I can even be deemed as a proficient mage. I am excited to be here, to see a fabled faerre mage. My hope is to learn from them. And so I stand tall, as patient as the earth from which I draw my power, and wait.

The sky darkened. Those not as determined drifted off, to go about their lives, not willing to wait any longer. Still, I waited. Before my eyes the stage lit up, shining as brightly as day. The queen appeared and I was buffeted from all sides as chaos erupted. At a few words from the glorious, two-tailed faerre, the mass of creatures calmed once more. Her last words rand through the air as the stage darkened, the blackness encompassing all it touched. The audience started to grow fearful, but I simply gazed up at where I knew the stage to be.

The lights flared up again, a beautiful blue fairy sitting on the stage where the queen had been moments before. Her fur shone a brilliant blue, midnight markings tempering the color for a stunning affect.

The crowd pushed forward once more and I held firm, resisting the tide of creatures around me. The faerre spoke in melodic tones as the crown settled. I listened, letting her words ring through my being. When she was finished speaking, I approached the brilliant mage. Her orb of light floated beside her, bobbing up and down.

“I greet you, oh great mage,” I proclaimed, going down on one knee. “My name is Anagee, and I, as so many others here, wish for your company. I have never known my true purpose. You have been told your purpose, but doubt this fact. If you are willing, I propose that we may journey together. If you will accept me I will be your willing student. I am eager to learn the ways of magic, yet I have met no one willing to teach me.

“We can journey, looking for the truth and knowledge that binds an individual to a path. I do not know the truth, but I hope to discover. If you are willing, I would be honored to have you alongside me for this journey.”
I brushed the earth at my feet, sending a tendril of my magic into the ground. A stalk sprouted, uncurling and budding as my violet gaze fell upon it. The flower blossomed, a sunflower.
“For you, Aquelia,” I offered the beautiful faerre. “It turns its face towered your light, and the brilliance of your magic. Thank you for your time,” I said as I bowed my head, standing up and walking back into the darkness.

The queen’s words rang through my head once more. Do not ruin the experience with something you’ll regret. I had done my best, and waited calmly for Aquelia’s choice. I watched as other suitors approached her, my stomach turning with nerves, gazing through amethyst eyes.
