Chatterbox: Down to Earth

Journal Entry #1, Hawaii

I was sitting there, on a deserted stretch of beach, soaking in the sunshine. As I closed my eyes, something brushed against me. I jumped back in surprise, my eyes snapping open. Nothing. There was nothing there. I whirled around and just barely caught a glimpse of something... I couldn't figure it out. It seemed to be lilac and turquoise and silver and rose and sky, all together, but... there was only one color, I was sure of it... I shook my head. I was imagining things. All those years wishing for magic had made my mind be so deperate it made things up. I settled back down, ignoring the feeling that I was being watched. 

Journal Entry #2, Hawaii

Last night, I decided to go out onto the patio. It was a full moon, and there wasn't much pollution nearby, so its light was bright and silvery. As I gazed at it, I saw something out of the corner of my vision... the same thing I had seen before!! As I leapt up, I heard it gasp, as though frightened to be found, and then it... disappeared. I decided to try and figure it out. I examined the air at every angle... Huh. It disappeared right where the moon's pool of light seemed to cut off. THAT is strange...

Journal Entry #3, Hawaii

It was my last day here, and I thought I'd go swimming in that lovely turquoise water. As I dived and flipped, I saw the strange creature again. This time though, in the water, she seemed much more... solid. I swam up behind her, and she turned around. I gasped - she was a MERMAID! A child mermaid, but a mermaid all the same.

So... yeah. I (FINALLY!!!!) have an AE. She represents the part of me that glides and leaps around, and acts all elegant, as if she's in a movie where she's a fairy/princess. She's only visible where she can swim, which is in water, sunlight, and moonlight. Her name is Azalea.
