[.ELN0871] ♂ Icarus's Links
We were close once, kittoms stolen from our lives and forced into a cage. I took comfort in your certainty we would be okay. You were right, and we survived. When we were split apart I wondered where you ended up. Were you okay? Did you survive all these years. I hope to one day see you again.
Long Time no see Lucius!!!!!!! How are you?!!
(remembers Lucius from the Breglin incident,they were so young back then... They practically spend the first few moments of there lives together as "litter mates" in a Breglin cage. Lucius is considered as close as family)
A very nice Kyunru I found by accident. From what I remember of them they treated me as one of their own for the short time I was there. I got to play among the other Kittoms in the Sanctuary. The feelings of being an outcast were left at the gates. Once I left Sanctuary it was as if the feelings had been waiting for me and immediately returned to be my burden. I hope Antheo is doing well, and taking care of others just like me.
One of the Children of the Faerie Court, he is always welcome to play at my Sanctuary!
Lavender was one of the Kittoms I played with during my time in Sanctuary. Hide and seek was our favourite game to play. Due to my small size I was very good at the hiding part, but absolutely terrible at seeking. I hope one day she comes and seeks me out for I feel we had something special all that time ago. For now I remain lost.
My tiny friend who knows all the best hiding places in Hide 'n' Seek!
Starcatcher...when I gaze upon the sky she seems to always be there. Even when we are continents apart she is always right beside me in spirit. How we manage to get along when only centimeters apart is sort of baffling since she's so energetic and a bit of an airhead while I remain stoic and unfeeling. For so long I was sure we were meant to be more than ships passing in the night. We meet, spend a few days together and move on again. I was desperate to make things work longer, but the more we are apart; the more I feel we are better as friends. Even if things don't evolve, you are still a major part of my life and you will always have a special place in my heart.
Balthazar is an Elnin I had met when we were both just Kittoms. Our meeting was short lived but were days that have left their mark on me. I was lost, terrified, and felt as if the darkness had truly swallowed me whole. Balthazar found me and shone his lantern upon me. With that light he brought me somewhere safe, Sanctuary. I hope he continues his work and bring the lost back to light.
I met the beautiful Fhenli during one of my moments of weakness. I wandered the streets of an unfamiliar place, winding up at her shop steps. She didn't ask much of me, not even my name. She recognized I needed an escape from whatever haunted me at the time. My memory is a haze but I specifically recall her warmth. I feel I may have left a piece of myself behind with her. I shall return one day to reclaim it...or at least give thanks for her comfort.
Navi, the smallest of the litter I had with Fhenli. She seems to be the most driven of our children and I am filled with an odd sense of pride due to this. She seems to be in good hands and is learning every day. I leave her small presents as well but instead of showing them off she hoards them. I guess she must really like them. Keep striving for your dreams Navi. Don't let this world burden you.
One of the children I have yet to reveal my face to. I want Velia to grow a happy life, even if that means I cannot be in it. From time to time I will leave small presents for her and her sister Navi. It makes me happy when she finds them and shows them off to her friends. While we may never meet my dear Velia, I hope you can learn to love and laugh despite the cruelties of this world.
"???"
Though she doesn't know of her father's existence, she does notice trinkets left around from time to time. She can't put a finger on why, but these objects give her comfort and always has the same strange, foreign but comfortable sent. So sometimes she puts them in her treasure chest, the place she puts all the things that give her comfort those rare times when she feels frustrated, confused, cold or alone.
---
Now that she is an adult, she shows her children her trinkets from her past, some of which being things she never quite remembered picking up but always felt important. Sometimes she tells them stories about hearing wings on the wind, and warm happy feelings from a land far away.
Seeing you for the first time, I was intrigued, even enchanted. You were different, but yet similar to myself. You were seen as cold, and maybe when we first met you were. I saw past that. I saw past your cold exterior and you told me your story. It was then I promised myself I would help you share your warning. I too was from another world and knew the struggles of exsisting in this one. When we opened ourselves up to include Cassie, things just melded together. Our circle was complete and it gave me a new lease on life.
Aine, my 'sister'. Besides Lulu she was the only one I remember from the cages. When we were rescued she and I were sent to the Sanctuary together. We fell out for a while, but in the end I will always be there for her, and she will always be there for me.
Both Aine and Icarus have a rivalry similar to a sibling one. She dislikes his grumpy nature and he finds her annoying. Despite this, she welcomes him and his business with open arms. He always treats her with more respect than others, and finds his silent nature comforting if she needs to talk about an issue. Deep down she does love him and respects him deeply.
Energetic and bubbly, Cassie is a complete opposite to myself, and our other partner Nether. In an endearing way, she completes our circle. When I met Cassie, she was nothing but an annoyance. Once of the taken like myself. I vaguely even remembered her during our time on the other side. She would prank me, and others, and can be quite, air headed. Something about her excitement on life pushes me to want to live my own.
Dad, I don't spend as much time with him as I probably should. He isn't my blood parent but he is with Mama and Mom so he is in every sense my Dad. He's Lilith and Penumbra's blood parent though. He's pretty cool, even when he's grumpy. I really look up to him.
My grandson. He lived with us for a short while before venturing into the world on his own. He is always welcome back home and I look forward to seeing the nin he will become on his journeys. Grandpa is proud of you.
