Vinca started following Buttercup towards the food stalls, looking intrigued.  Did Buttercup know what those plants were?  Either way, the Ortusi continued to chatter on the way over, even though Vinca didn’t respond verbally to the chatter.“Ah, you should try the fish and rice!  That’s always a favorite of mine.  It’s right t...

Vinca kept wandering around the festival, still looking around for someone who seemed to have the free time to take a stroll and go see this carnivorous plant she had happened upon.  She passed the food stalls easily enough, not quite hungry at the current time to take an in depth look, and ended up at a bit of a field with defined lines and what seemed like posts at a distance away. She stopped to take a look at the event curiously, overhearing some words from...
Deadringer Disaster

Vinca had managed to make it to the entrance of the city, where one of the festival’s decorations was standing.  This particular decoration was a tall dragon.  The dragon was painted in many different shades of red, with each scale edged in metal.  The claws and teeth were made of the lightest silver that could be wrought, and delicately affixed to the dragon with heavier bronze or gold.  The eyes were made with very clear glass marbles, and a fire was kep...

Curiosity had gotten the better of Vinca.  She had spotted a couple of other Enivi heading into the jungle, and had decided to take a break from her fishing to follow them, since they seemed excited about something or other.  She had used her wings to follow from above for the time being.  While she certainly didn’t care if the rest of the Enivi she had been following were scared of her, she was worried about them dashing off and not getting to the destinat...

Jules the Ortusi was wanting to adventure. She wasn't sure exactly why she was drawn to this particular ideal, but it was bound to be interesting. She knew it would be a long journey, so took her time with the preparations, making sure she had everything she would need. She looked over the list she had written, checking off things as she assembled them. It wasn't that tough, Jules thought to herself, as she rolled a blanket and tied it. She attached it to the saddlebag and nosed the ot...

‘Follow the antler marks.  That’s all one needs to do, and you won’t get lost, or become food.’  This thought was repeated in Laguna’s mind as he continued forward, keeping an eye on the changing moss color, and the trees themselves.  The standard forest sounds of which he was familiar with, slowly started changing to what seemed more sinister?  Maybe that was just his own fears being projected.  A sudden, long, and loud creak made him look back f...

‘The Druasei had invited us.’  Laguna thought, stepping forth into the dark woods and looking out for a marked path.  There was supposed to be a path at least, although the shaded canopy of trees did it’s absolute best to drown out any light coming from above.  Laguna knew it was still daylight.  After the events at the Vespiri festival, he wasn’t about to step forth into a dark wood in the evening, unprepared.  Not like last time at least.  Shakin...

Inigo was lost in thought, recalling the passed down legends of and didn’t see the Astrologist walk by, look at him curiously for a little bit, and then stop right in front of him.  He nearly jumped out of his skin when the soft voice of the Astrologist echoed lightly with a request. The Enivi’s eyes went wide, but he nodded.  There wasn’t too much of a point in continuing to ponder the old stories, when every...

Inigo had taken to wandering, much like his dad, his mom, and his sister.  News often filtered through from each of their exploits in his own travels, each time leaving him proud that they were his family, even if they didn’t travel together too often.  They still gathered for major holidays, and they all attended Buttercup’s hoofball games when able.  His dad preferred to travel off the beaten path, much like his mom did, while he and his sister chose to...

It had been some time since the slime incident that drastically changed Laguna’s pelt, and markings and everything, really.  He still had his fine magical control over water, and he still helped out where he could.  Penelope had taken a liking to him, why, he didn’t have any idea.  It could have been they were both now albino, or it could have been that his tail had gotten curlier, and provided many different foot holds for rest.  Said tail also seemed t...

The game of Hoofball consists of 10 Enivi, five on each team. The object of the game is to earn points by getting your team’s ball into the opposing team’s net. In concept, this seems relatively straightforward, but there is a multitude of rules for Enivi to follow to keep the game safe and fair. Here are some of the rules:  When the ball is in play, it must stay within the bounds of...

Stella kept a watchful eye on both of her kids as they made their way to the game field. Bleachers had been set up so that Enivi could sit and watch hoof ball with ease. She had managed to obtain a good seating location due to Kresnica's involvement with keeping the lights alighted for the evening, and she was hoping that the excitement would tire the Kids out, and that she'd be able to rest easy this evening. She nudged both her children to their seats, and then claimed her own seat, waiting...

It was a bright sunset, and Rossa took a look over the rocky path, seemingly pleased with herself.  She had gotten this high, and this far, all by herself.  It would forever be a moment of triumph.
