although his sisters ties to essence were much stronger than his, the presence strong enough for him, though bitter almond taste was almost unbearable. "Becky, who is they? he asked again. "the other children!! they need our help! cant you hear them??" Becky was inspecting every corne...

"hello?" he called in a more audible voice as they walked through the building. Becky squeezed her brothers hand. "there's something here Matthew!, i can feel it. they want us to do something" Matthew looked to his sister, he didnt quite understand her sudden excitement but altho...

the boy took another look outside, it was beginning to snow again. it was warm inside and seeing that their father had abandoned them it had fallen upon him to look after becky. so with a deep breath and a brave face he took becky's hand and lead her into the building. "come on, there's got to ...

on a cool winter afternoon. the door to the orphanage opens as two children walk into the building. a girl and a boy. the looks to be about ten while the boy around 12 or 13. they walk into the orphanage slowly and aprehensively looking back at the door every minute or two. " umm, hello?" ...

elgoain nodded to barry as he set the mugs in front of him and aurora

"thank you my good man, and now.."

turning to aurora, flashing smile and raising his mug

"to prosperous ventures and pleasureable company."

Elgoain sighed and got up from his seat, moving toward the bar, he set down a few coins and looked to Barry

" a mug of butter beer for myself and the lady"

Elgoain was perfectly content sitting near Aurora, making small talk with the other patron's and petting topaz, who was causing no harm at all!!. However some....people! just can't leave well enough alone as Elgoain met cirrus' stare of loathing with an Icy glare of his own. The small feline followi...

for a time, it seemed as all eyes were on elgoain. splendid!! he would have it no other way! tufting out his shirt and vest he ran a hand through his hair and flipped it back a second time, this time going slower, topaz licked his paw and brushed it down his head a few times and flicked his head aga...

"i shall make sure of it, perhaps you would share a bottle with me at a later date" Elgoain smiled and his green eyes glinted once again. "well off and away, i'm sure i will see you both at a later time farewell." with a nod to zeira the valkyn'vi headed down the path back toward...

Elgoain nodded to Alice and politely smiled back. " very well , it is a pleasure to meet you Alice" He turned back to zeira and was somewhat confused by the mans quip about having a dark past, sure there a few things he'd rather soon forget but he didn't his past dark by any means " I...

The cat meowed menacingly at cirrus and elgoain scratched its head lightly " pay no heed to her topaz, the avyana is afraid of creatures like you. I couldn't imagine why " the last bit said with a tinge of sarcasm " and I was merely empathizing with our most hospitable innkeeper, thou...

"CIRRUS!!" a voice came from the door as elgoain entered and knealt down near the orange and white cat, which almost seem to jump into the valkyn'vi's arms. it laid its head back on to his shoulder dramatically as if it had just been the victim of a brutal attack. " how brutish of you...

elgoain turned to zeira and stuck his hand out and flashed a smile that lit up his whole face "greetings to you as well, i am elgoain. Elgoain Onyx. a pleasure to meet you." elgoain gave a sly wink to alice as he shook hands with zeira. "and who might you be my dear?" his eyes se...

Passing the young lady's smithy the carefree valkyn'vi couldn't help but overhear the conversation between zeira and Alice. As he neared the forge he first noticed the beautiful piece that set in front of him, the sword wasn't bad either. Wetting his fingers he smoothed his eyebrows and pencil thin ...

cirrus was so engrossed in her work that she wouldn't notice that she was being watched. it crept forward still watching the avyanna as she slurped worms from the bowl but it made its presents known when it moved passed her legs. to her terror it rubbed up against her leg a second time then purring ...
