Kalon Name:
Eerin
[e-rin]
a name meaning "small grey owl"
Kalon Gender:
male
Writing:
Eerin scrutinized the last line he'd written and pushed his glasses a little farther up his nose. His mouse blinked steadily where it idled off to the left. "Johns laughed, bemused by Murphy's joke."
"...what does bemused even mean though?" Eeerin asked aloud, humming through his nose. He clicked away from the Word document, opened Google and searched for 'definition of bemused'. When the results loaded Eerin groaned and put his head down between his hands with a thunk.
"Oh my god," he said against his desk. "How many times have I said 'bemused' in public though? How many times have I used it in this story?"
He lifted his head to look at the screen again but no; the definition remained the same, a mockery of his literary efforts. "be·muse: puzzle, confuse, or bewilder".
"Oh my god," Eerin said again, louder this time. Embarrassment buzzed in his chest, crept up into his throat. How many times had someone heard him use that incorrectly, or read it in one of his posts? Why had he even thought it meant 'amuse'? Because it sounded similar? Like no one was going to tease him for that.
"Dear god," he grunted. "I'm ruined."

"Ah. It was night to remember. Many others, they too fondly remember, though not as I.."
A night that most celebrated, excitement filled the air! And yet, one sat alone. Looking out the window, he curled his tail around the stool, a longing gaze filled the boy's face. Having fallen ill again, he couldn't join in the night's festivities.
Something moved in the corner of his eye, he slowly looked over..
Seeing two figures, he leaned in closer, trying to make out their words. One looked mad, and the other scared. His eyes widened as sudden realization dawned. They were being robbed!
Feeling helpless, his parents still hadn't returned. Looking back and forth, he tried to come up with an idea, though striking a dead end, he ended up just watching, what could a sickly boy do?
Another figure jumped into action, missing an arm, still he pushed back the knife wielding robber.
Wow..
Watching closer, the boy was stuck with wonder. He had never seen anyone use the moves as he did.. and with his disability. Filled with a new sense of livelihood, he felt new determination.
"The robber left, and, though feeble, I know it's possible. I'll fight."

Kalon Name: Aruba
Kalon Gender: Female
Writing: Aruba was a nerdy, lonely, freaky Kalon with no friends. She was made fun of for being so ugly, but not by other Kalons. She NEVER had seen another Kalon, but she knew she must not be very pretty compared to them. Because of this, she spent most of her time singing by her favorite pond that sparkled like her eyes. She got into cosmetology.
“Aruba…?” One of her fellow make-up artists gasped, “Your voice is amazing! And.. Look at you!”
Aruba blushed, “Why thank you, I couldn’t h-have done it without you!”
Little did she know, that artist that complimented her would be her true love and partner in crime.
Aruba was too shy to even try to put herself out there but her colleague made it possible.
But what was ‘it?’
‘It’ was her fame. Aruba and her colleague became the top music stars in their area and now stay beautiful together, showing music for all ages and times. As a homosexual couple, other species may not be too fond, but they stand up for them anyway. Bubbly Kalons they are, hoping to brighten your day and bring out the best in you!

kalon name: sage
kalon gender: female
writing: the sun beat down on sage's face, sweat dripping down her neck. it was about 100 degrees, and sage was dying, but she needed to tend to her garden. as she reached for her glass of water, she sighed. sage hated how hot it was- but she had to keep her plants alive.
just as she was about to walk back and grab another sip of her water, a small bird landed on the cup. thankfully, her water bottle had it's lid cracked, so no germs would be in the water. but what she didn't expect was for the bird to knock the cup over. with a quick thud, the bird was gone, and so was sage's serenity. the water rushed out of her glass.
without thinking, sage kicked the bottle to what felt like to be oblivion. it was gone. but like with many other conflicts, after the bottle left her sight of vision, a wave of remorse hit her. that bottle costed twelve dollars. twelve bucks down the drain. slamming the door behind her, she trudged into the house, and grabbed her keys. sage's anger would have to wait until she bought another one of those crappy bottles.
