Name:
Cotta Terra

A switched form of the word "Terra Cotta" which in italian means baked earth. Cotta sounded like a better boy name than Terra and his nickname is K.T. as he prefers the sound of K.T. over C.T.(plus C.T. sounds like city and those nature killing environments aren't in his favorite spots in the world.)

Gender:
Male

The day my element was discovered:
(799 Words ugh limits ;-;)
(I did have silverkitsune's permission for her kiamaras use in the story.)

Cotta was wielding a gift of orchids for Heart’s birthday extravaganza and was heading quickly towards the location.
Veering his head towards the strange cries and harsh whispers, Cotta realized the source. On the edge of the thin deer trail like path grew two vernacular wild flowers. One considerably smaller than the other, Cotta halted his journey and changed his objective to soothing the sprout. Kneeling he whispered, “Hello there…? What seems to be the problem, little one?” he cooed gently. The sprout’s voice echoed into the head of the Kiamara and answered whimpering out his reply, “I’m not growing! My big brother is and I’m stuck like this all small,” the sprout choked. And rudely was interrupted in the midst of its tears by the crude tone of its brother, “Complain, cry, complain. You are short, squirt. Deal with it. You aren’t going to grow unless you grow up mentally.”

Cotta eyed the situation and couldn’t help, but chuckle. “I am so sorry to laugh, but I had a situation like this once, it feels silly that we bickered on it before. Maybe the story can solve your problems, young one.” he suggested with an inspiring tone. The two plants agreed to hear it as Cotta terra sat done the orchids and himself.

“Well, back when I was younger and had just turned four years old and received my feathers, I was ecstatic. I thought I was grown up and was for to mature for the fun and games of my younger days. This notion went far above my head in concept, really. See, I’ve always been that little bit of the eccentric type and didn’t have too many friends, except a pair of sisters. One of those sisters had PPS and was forever stuck in that premature state…The day after my day of age, she came of over wishing to play. Her name was Heart and that same day I broke her’s. I refused to play with her as I assumed that as a grown up, playing was for grown fools or children and I considered myself neither. I declined her offer to play, but she pressed on… My refusal became coarse and crude and it basically became a giant complaint on her child-like personality. Not like she could help it. I ridiculed her being a child, which is more childish of the ‘adult’ in this case. She ran off bawling and only her spot replaced with her irate grown sister. She chastised my actions and emphasized my over dramatic and unacceptable behavior towards a simple play-date.

The words were true, but it stung. I’ve never really had anyone mad at me before, really. I sat for a while dumbfounded, contemplating on what to do or if I was wrong or right. Wandering off from the scene and separating myself, I sat by an elder oak tree. I was alone with no guide or friend, the only other option left was talking to myself. I sat there pointing out my obvious faults and contemplated any other misgivings during that brief time frame. As the time I sat there, the deeper I fell into my own feelings and became engulfed in sadness. Until the tree whom I was resting upon told me what to do. He mentioned that he had already heard the whole story and provided me with simple, but helpful advice. He also gave me three seeds that would do something amazing when I finally ‘understood’. At the time I didn’t know what he meant, but I accepted it all graciously.

I searched all over for Heart in hopes to apologize to her. And I found her teary eyed y the edge of the forest that stretched into a small meadow. Beside her sat a terra-cotta pot and watering can. These were apparently homemade. When I consulted with her, she explained that they were a late birthday present. And that our play-date would end with my surprise. I felt terrible after that and apologized, she gladly accepted. When she told me to give her handiwork a try, I planted the newly provided seeds with my own paws and planted them. When I was watering them in front of Heart, her face lit up in surprise as the seeds became to instantly sprout, forgiveness was a necessity as well as friendship and hope. I didn’t realize these things at the time, but that’s what the sprouts were.” concluded the out of breath Kiamara. The two young plants were amazed with the little story and cheered at its relevance. With a wink the ground holding the smaller plant rose in elevation to allow it to reach the proper spot for nutrients that were blocked by its elder’s brother, before heading off with his gift to Heart’s own party.

Hello, my name is Froas, nice to meet you c:
name:

"My name is Rathian, but you can just call me Rath or Ian, but I'd really prefer Rathian. My name is of some interest, there isn't any real meaning to it, but my mother said that it meant "guardian of things pure'. I though that she was crazy when she told me that, but now I understand her reasoning of naming me thus."

"I'm a female, I can assure you of that. "

the day my element was discovered:

Diary Entry #25
"I've heared the other adult Kia's talking, the weather has gotten much warmer, if it gets any warmer the whole of the forest will be ablaze before we even know it. I hope that doesn't happen, I like taking long walks in the woods and listening to the birds sing their lovely songs. I have a secret little cave where I go, it's nice and shady down there, and a few weird plants have started growing, I should really ask mother what they are.

Diary Entry #26
It's so hot, I can feel the forest dying any time I come anywhere near it, It drives me insane that I can't help. I have started staying inside so I don't have to hear them calling out to me, they ask me to save them, but I don't know how! I hope the summer ends soon...

Diary Entry #27
I can't take this much longer, the echoing of the plant's voices call to me even while I sleep, I haven't had a good night's sleep in almost a week, but I can tell the plants are getting much more desperate, attacking each other to conserve what little water is left in the soil. I have decided to travel to the forest at once, If I cannot help them, then I shall perish with them! I leave tonight so that I shall not have to see my mother's grief at my leave. Goodbye Mother, Father, I shall be back soon.

Diary Entry #29
I got here and the plants seem to perk up a little. Why do this around me? I am not any more special than the other Kia that visit you often, so why cry out to me. I start out as best I can, moving water form the nearby stream into the forest and dump it on the withering roots of the many plants that scatter the forest. The creek is almost dry, so I need to conserve as much water as I can. I have made my home in my cave, the plants in there are now huge and glowing...glowing? I decided that I would taste one of these plants, they didn't smell like they would do any harm to me, so I took a bite. All I remember was the bitter and vile taste and losing conscious.

Diary Entry #30
I wake up and I feel different. The plants, they've stopped calling to me. I looked outside my small cave to see that the forest was lush and green. How was this even possible? To go from dying and withering away to lush and thick like it is during the spring months. I drug my self out of the cave and gave a curious look at some of the plants. I poked it with my nose and they seemed to grow quicker and lusher than before. I tried this out on many plants in the forest and all acted the same way. I decided that I would go home, maybe try it out on the plants that were withering there. As I expected, many plants were withering from dehydration and looked as if they had been fried. I walked over to the plants and gently placed my nose on it, and the plant sprung back to life. I still question how this is even possible.

Diary Entry # 31
One of the elder Kiamara's called me over today, they said it was important. Nobody was stupid enough to dismiss one of their summons so I went directly over to where they lived. I knocked on the door and before I was even done knocking an elderly looking kiamara opened the door and rushed me inside. I turned and faced him then asked him what could be so important when he thrust a dead plant into my face. I jerked my head back quickly then got the notion that he wanted me to touch it. As I did, the plant sprang back to life and he looked at me with curiosity in his eyes. His voice deep but crackling said "You my dear Kia have managed to harvest the element of earth". That explained alot and why my mother had named me Rathian.
extra: a poem

"My gifts are all around,
Yellow, green, red and brown,
Mirrored water that reflex my frown,
Butterflies flying in the dusky dawn,
Orchids blooming in the early morn,
Insects scuffling around the bush,
Dames that provide water to give a push,
I provides a life for all,
For flowers and creatures big or small "
