them.

There! 
A sparrow flying under her!

Athena started to dive, but something caught
her eye, and she stopped in midair.  A girl
with deep, starry blue eyes stood there, looking up at her.  Athena could not help but stare into those
eyes.

At that moment, an odd sensation flooded
through her; one of home, and being loved, and Athena felt full, and true, and
powerful, and whole, and she could tell the girl felt that way, too, and then
she knew.  Athena was this girl’s
renheart.

How is the sidekick helpful? Quilen is brave and will fight to protect his friends.

Quilen smiled as he looked down on the men with crossbows.

"Don't poachers ever learn?" he thought in amusement. Poachers loved these woods because hey where teeming with rare wildlife. He had stopped many before though so he could do it again. He leapt down noiselessly from the treetops and onto the ground near them and let loose a wolf-like howl. The men jumped and looked around the forest with terror in their eyes.

"What was that!" Said one of them in a hoarse whisper.

"Sounded like a wolf." Said the other. Quilen let out another piercing howl, and then let out a snake-like hiss.

"What's going on here!" The first one roared. Quilen  called on his wood elf side and silently talked to the trees.

"Get ready." he said. Then he leapt into the clearing. "Hey fella's! Over here!" The men swung around and stared at him, one of them quickly recovered his senses and aimed his crossbow. "Now!" He yelled. Out of nowhere, tree branches shot out, encircled the poachers, and lifted them high!

"AAARRGGG!"

"OOMMPPHH" They yelled simultaneously from up in the trees. Quilen burst out laughing.

"Gotcha!" He cried gleefully, and then he jumped back into the trees and disappeared. Someone would find them. Eventually.

She can also become a small silver fox that has the same eyes.

9. What she wants most is to go on a quest, have some adventure and succeed, along with becoming rich and famous.

10. The pond shimmered with life and beauty as Lara ran by its shore. She paused a moment; she should probably try to turn the  pond purple and back to practice her magic. But she paused a moment to think, skipping a rock that she found as she thought, "It's pretty boring living in the same village for 12 years. I thought adventure was supposed to come to you, maybe I'm supposed to hunt it down." She would pack her bags that night and camp by the village a mile down; maybe something would happen. Sure enough, later that night she tried to trick Fable into eating the partridge bread; it turned into a prank war in which Lara came out on top. Suprisingly it made both Fable and Lara want to be friends. Together they became best friends, serious Fable and Lara the trickster.

She dropped her hands as her parent called, "Mar stop that racket! Go to bed!"

3. Ari's mother died when she was four years old. Her father raises her like the boy he wishes he had. He doesn't resent Ari being a girl, though, because she reminds him of his sister, who Arianna was named after. Ari HATES baking, but her father insists on teaching her  "at least something proper like a lady", so she is learning how to bake. Woe to all who come into the shop while Ari's trying to bake something, and even more woe who those who try out the product of her cooking.

10. Ari took time like a baker, so she was usually up by about five in the morning. Once Ari started baking, everyone knew it. A disgusting sulfuric burning smell would fill the village. Some said Ari's baking could make a grown man cry. Others said it would make a grown man die. This is all proof that when Ari gets up, everyone gets up.

At about ten AM, Ari would leave the shop and greet the new day. Literally. "Hello sunflower!" "Hello Dandy!" Dandy was the cobbler's son and quite a handsome boy. "Hello little bug on my finger-ow, it bites! Goodbye, little bug on my finger!" Here she would shake the bug off and stomp on it thoroughly. 

Name: Calliope Profecia

Appearance: "Mud; everything the girl thought of herself was mud. Just dark, muddy hair, and dark brown eyes that resembled dirt after a rainstorm. Her body was thin, and she lacked strength, but not confidence."

Background: Calliope was born on farm outside of a poor villiage, where her parents and three older brothers worked all day, but she never really had any interest in watering tomatoes or sowing soil. Instead, she read books and wrote poetry, and taught herself to play on her mother's old piano. She had a loving family, and never really knew what it would be like to be without a family. When she isn't doing those things, Calliope sold their produce in the market every couple of days to make a living for a family with four children. The town is where she meets Fable, and decides to help her, because she leads a sort-of monontonous lifestyle.

5. Apon meeting Fable, she thinks that she might be able to help her, and she respects her, since it seems like Fable has been through a lot.

9. Calliope wants become someone who is known for changing the world she lives in. She also wants her family to pay more attention to her, because she isn't really noticed because she is so quiet and shy. She also wants for her piano to be in tune.

10. CROWD SORCERY SENTENCES!

Calliope's fingers danced across the black-and-white keys. Most of whay she played was pieces she had thought up of in her head, and sometimes  it would be songs her mother sang to her when she was small. She had only been playing for a week, but the more she played her mother's old piano, the more she knew about music, it seemed. She used music to block out the world, because now that she was older, no one really paid that much attention to her anymore. It was her escape from her cold brothers who ignored everything she said and did. Maybe it was she didn't work on the farm, or that she was the only girl, besides her mother. This piano, which seemed enchanting, had been the most interesting thing in her life in such an eternity! But when she was about to begin another song, she heard her father's pungent voice from across the ceiling.

"Calliope! Time to go!"

She knew it was time. To begin the monotnous job of selling the farm's weekly produce, which was boring and sometimes sporadic; every once and a while people came to purchase the season's best fruits and vegetables. As she set up her cart, she noticed a young girl, about her ages, walking around the town, trying to be unnoticed. But Calliope noticed her, and the vendor next to her whispered, "The secret is out! That's Fable Thatcher, the girl who writes the future!"

By this, Calliope was interested. She was voracious to know more.

(Notes: "Calliope" is the name of the Greek muse for poetry and music. "Profecia" is the Spanish word for "prophecy".)
