Aaralyn smiled warmly at all of the people who took notice. She even waved at a couple of wary children, who instantly smiled when she did so. She liked Louis' town. It just seemed so happy and welcoming. Her city was happy as well, but it was more... uptight. She looked nervously at Louis, nibbling at her lower lip before she spoke. "Are you sure that's such a good idea? If they found out who I was, there would be no way they'd let me stay here. And if my people found out that you were harboring me, it could start a war between our people." She paused, hoping that it would never come to that." "I really don't want to be a burden on your people, or you for that matter.

When silence settled upon them, Xanadias decided it was probable time to leave. The life around him was giving his skin itches, and it was starting to become irritating.

"I'll take my leave now. I've stayed long enough in these forests, and I need some rest." He did not say when they would meet again, as he was used to never seeing the same people whenever he went out with Markuto. He did not expect the situation to be any different this time, so he merely said his farewells. Markuto huffed, being impatient for having to wait so long for its master. It wasn't interested in their conversations and thought it a waste of time.

"Eh?" Azzek ducked out of sight more out of instinct than real fear. And then did he remember that it was ice he was standing on..slippery ice.
In one swift motion he fell off right in front of the girl fairy. He was quickly up and flying of course. BUt the embarassment had made his face quite red.
"Ahh...Hi." He greeted shakily with a small smile. The ice fairy had smiled at him which made him nervous. This was his first time to meet another fairy for a long long time and he unsure how to start.

Serena smiled brightly, despite the fairy's blunder. "It takes some getting used to, i did that all the time when I was little. I'm sorry for surprising you. I'm Serena, by the way" she said, flying up to him and holding out her hand.

"You worry too much," Louis chuckled, "it's fine, I have everything planned out. You'll be alright."

Finally the two made it to a house that was located in the middle of the ascending path. The house looked just like every other house that was in the lower-class, and the only way of identifying who's house is who is the number that was located on the house. As the three approached the house, Louis noticed that Mora was too big to fit inside of his house.

"I'm sorry," Louis said as he scratched the back of his head, "I think your friend will have to wait outside, if she doesn't mind of course.

Mora just shrugged, sat down by the door, and then layed down, putting her head down on her paws and closing her eyes. "I'll be listening, so don't you dare try anything with the princess." The white wolf warned. Aaralyn rolled her eyes. "Ignore her. She's just overly protective." Then the blue fairy looked sternly down at the wolf. "Stop calling me princess! You'll get me in a lot of trouble!"

"Eh heh heh..." Louis laughed off Mora's threat again, "Anyways, come on in Aaralyn. Make yourself at home."

As the two entered the house, children from around the area began to come up to Mora with awe on their faces. "Itz ah big doggy!" Yelled out a little one. "No stupid, it's a great white wolf!" Another exclaimed. "Can I touch you?" One asked as she jumped onto Mora's body.

As the door opened, the inside of the house wasn't as special as what the outside of the town looked like. Like what I said before, the houses were design just like the humans house style. So they had their basic living room, bed room, kitchen, etc... A simple house for a simple fairy.

"Want something to drink?" Louis said as he made his way toward the kitchen, "I think I have some tea that we can have. Here, have a seat in the living room and relax a bit."

Mora opened one of her eyes as the fairy children came. She opened her other eye as well and lifted her head up. She made a little surprised yelp when one of them suddenly jumped on her. She chuckled, able to blame a child for being playful. "Well, you're already on me, just be careful with the tail and the ears."

Aaralyn looked around at the quaint little house, and smiled at Louis. "It's a lovely home." She said, hearing a bit of a comotion outside with Mora, but knowing that she'd be alright. "I'm not thirsty, but thank you." She said, looking off at an oh-so-interesting wall and sighing. She just wanted to get this over with. She didn't like the thought of possibly having to go home, back to the underwater castle.

((Sorry guys im pretty much brain dead lol))

((me too ^_^" i'll post something tomorrow for sure, even if its totally off on a tangient but still relevent ^_^))

"Nonsense," Louis said as he bought back over a cup of tea with a honey spoon in it over to her, "here, have some Honey-Sweet Tea. It'll make you feel better."

Louis noticed as he was about to give the cup to Aaralyn that she looked concern about the situation. He knew that she didn't want to go back to her secluded life back with her clan. The thought of going back for her must be like prison. Louis placed the cup down on a table that was next to her.

"Hey," he said grabbing her hands, "you can't look down on things. Though we may not be in a great situation, I promise that you'll be free to roam the land without troubling anyone. Stay strong and stay confident."

He gives her a bright smile, "I promise to protect you till the very end."

Aaralyn took the tea and sipped it. It was very good. She'd never had tea before. She looked up at Louis as he spoke some more, and when he told her that he would protect her, her cheeks turned bright pink in a blush, which shone out rather easily against the blue. After a little bit, she blinked, and then her lips spread into a warm smile. "How on Earth can you be so confident?" She asked softly. Then she reached forward with one hand and cuped his cheek. Aaralyn leaned toward him and kissed him softly on the other cheek. "Thank you." She whispered, then brought her face and hand away and took another sip of her tea.

The other dark fairy seemed to have gotten tired of the liveliness of the woods, so Fallish waved at him as he left, smiling all the time. Then she turned her attention to the new fairy, who had slipped on the ice tree. Serena seemed to be having an enjoyable conversation with him. She didn't want to interupt them, but she didn't have anything else to do either.

That is, until she saw a rabbit.

Fairy or not, she was easily distracted. Flying up, she made herself loud enough for both Serena and Cora to hear her good bye, saying "I just saw a really cute bunny!" and soaring after it before waiting for a reply. She knew she couldn't touch its fur, but she still liked to look at fuzzy, flammable creatures. She learned long ago how to transfer her energy into life for plants around her, so she could touch trees, but animals were different. Besides, the bunny was white with a cute black dot on its face ^_^ She couldn't help but to chase it ^_^

Louis quickly touched his cheek where he got kissed and blushed as red as a rose. That was technically his first close encounter with anyone he had aside from holding someone's hand. He had a weird smile on his face and a shocked expression in his eyes. As he turned around quickly, he tried to hide his weird positioned face.

"I-I'll get ready to go to the head master now," He said as he slowly began to his room, "Y-y-y-you go meet up with Mora outside. I'll be back in a jiffy."

"I am Azek..Azek Wintergreen" He straightened up and moved closer. Just then one of the fairies, a fire element, chased after a bunny. A bunny? it'll burn.as the time passed he found himself smiling more easily. Serena seemed nice and so did the others. Though he was puzzled how different kinds of fairies came together in one forest. He let it pass. Maybe they were just like him. Looking fo a new place where no one new who and what they came from. He liked it that way.
She turened to Serena and told her out of impulse the thought that had always been in his mind.
"You're tree is absolutely beautiful!"

Serena's face lit up when she heard the praise "really!?!? I wasn't sure if I would be able to pull it off because there's no snow around here. You really think it's beautiful!?!?!" she asked. What am I doing!?! This is so not me at all!! I'm not the type of person to be all open to someone I just met! Ok, calm down Serena, maybe this will work out. He seems friendly, albiet shy, you can do this. Just calm down and talk to him, everything will be just fine, she thought to herself as she blushed from the praise, the red standing out against the icy blues surrounding her face. She looked down, smiling, and scratched the back of her neck "I'm glad you like it. Um... what type of fairy are you?" she asked.

Aaralyn smiled and giggled, setting the cup down after she drank the rest of the sweet-tasting tea. She walked gracefully outside with a warm smile on her face, and had to laugh at what she saw when she went outside to Mora. The big white wolf was on her back, her legs in the air, and her tongue lolling out of her big, fang-filled jaws. Her fluffy tail was wagging slowly as small fairy children climbed all over her, petting her and scratching her belly.

Louis began to pack some of his things into a rather large backpack. As he made sure he got everything for what ever it was he was packing for, he looked back to his family picture on a wall in his room. A picture of him when he was 10 with his mother and father happily living in Luminaria.

"I've decided mother and father," He said toward the picture, "it's time for me to start a new life instead of continuing the same old tradition."

Louis then walked out of his room with the backpack and shut the door behind him. As he approached the front door, he placed the backpack down beside it and made his way outside.

As he came out, he saw Aaralyn giggling at the site of Mora letting the light fairies play with her. He was kind of sad that the wolf was able to open up with them more than him but, hey, children are more innocent than adults right? Louis then made his way to the children and called out, "Okay you guys, that's enough, we have to get going." He clapped his hand together so that they can hear him. Some yelling awe while some giggled and ran away from the wolf and back to their parents that were keeping an eye on them.

"Shall we had to the head master now?" Louis asked Aaralyn and Mora.

As soon as the fairy children got off of her, Mora rolled over and stood up, shaking her entire body and making a cloud of dust as she got the dust off of her. Aaralyn chuckled a bit, and smiled nervously at Louis. "I suppose I'm ready. What's the plan?" She asked as she walked beside him with Mora trailing behind.

" i'm a water fairy from the south." He replied smiling when he saw Serena blush. " I can make rain when i want to."
Oh my, what am i doing? it's unnatural. i feel so easy with her. he thought about for moment before reasoned that since they were of the same element it must have been natural. It wasn't a plausible one but still...
" how about you? What can you do? i mean besides making iced trees that is." He swooped in closer to the tree and laid a hand on its cold surface before turning to Serena with an interested face. " And the others, have you known them for long?"

"No, actually, I just barely moved here from the snowy part of the forest. If you'd arrived earlier you would've seen the initial freezing of the tree" Serena said with a smile "I have the ability to freeze and unfreeze any water as I please, and I can shape the ice into whatever I want, be it weapon or design" She said as she laid a hand gently on one of the ice roses. "Since I'm not in a place that snows, I have to take the natural waters to create ice. It's tough... but I would rather go a thousand years here then go back to my old home... I wasn't exactly welcome" she said.

((I'm BAAAAAAAACK from my road trip! ^_^))

((Welcome back ^_^))

"The plan is simple," Louis said as they approached the big cathedral, "we will talk with the head master on what he can do to help you find your freedom. Since you are a royal class, I'm sure everyone here might know of you."

The guards that were in front of the gate immediately backed away after noticing Louis, knowing that he was order to come to see the head master. As the doors opened, within the building was not a fancy, shining room with riches displayed everywhere, but rather a common church styled room with Rose Windows all over the walls. The cathedral was rather long than tall, so when upon entering it, it felt as if they were walking on a long hallway to their destination.

"So," Louis spoke up to Aaralyn, "what do you intend to do when you find a place that you can be free in?"

RAe angled downward, his wings lightly buzzing as they powered him with speed. He wove in and out of the trees, searching for a specific type. He was hungry and wanted his favorite snack. Rae loved apples, not only was it his favorite but his specialty. He thought he saw the right tree and stared a little too long away from where he was going. Almost too late he turned to look at the large tree right in front of him. the barks detail becoming more detailed as he managed to swerve away barely. He did get off balanced enough that he fell into the nearby bush.


"Ow..." He thought. not the prefect way to enter the autumn woods. he sighed and lay there for a minute, checking for any injuries.

Aaralyn listened to his simple plan, hoping that it would work, and sighed. "I'd much rather nobody know who I am, but I do hope that your plan works, Louis." She said softly as they aproached the gates. When the guards let them pass, she smiled and nodded to them in greeting, and they just stared at her up and down, looking rather surprised by her image. She looked around in awe at the structure, and the inside of it once they had entered. The buildings in her underwater city were nothing like it. It was rather strange, yet she found it so amazing. "I don't know what I do if I found a place where I could be free... Doing whatever I want whenever I want sounds like a good start." She said, grinning at Louis.
