"I guess you DON'T need help," I said, dashing away from the partially destroyed base.

I stroll outside, and think about where to go. I could, of course, go into the town, but I don't feel like talking to anyone. I decide to go take a walk in the forest. It's highly doubtful I'll meet anyone there, and it looks peaceful. I feel happy as I walk, and I begin to whistle. Suddenly, another girl appears in front of me. "H-hello...", I mumble, startled. "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" She replies curtly. I freeze, frightened into silence, as I realize the girl is a Druid. Suddenly, I forget all the magic I ever learned, and only stare at her forlornly as she drags me into a cave. Only two thoughts go through my head: "I would never make a good wizard," and, "Danie will kill me... If this girl-Druid- doesn't beat her to it." 

It was a fine day. Blue skies, birds chirping gayly, Sun shining. "Another miserable day," I growl. Being a werewolf, I naturally hate sunlight. I prefer to be free, running through the forest under the shining moon and twinkling stars. I was walking into a small town called Arragoom, a small, woodland town on the edge of the kingdom. As I was walking down main street, I bumped into a girl that looked like she was in a hurry. "Oh, excuse me miss..."

"Lyra. My name is Lyra."

"Oh, yes. I'm Will-" But the girl had already disappeared into the throng of people.

I'm heading through the forest, back to home, when two odd things happen.

First, my dogs start barking crazily, and the lead one, Caraysia, turns to me and whimpers. I ask her what it is, and rhe yips back, "Snowflake! Snowflake!" like that's supposed to mean something monumental. I mentally remind myself to brush up on dog speak.

Then, I notice frosty footprints leafing to a cave, and a long, deep trench in the dirt, like something was being dragged.

Weeeeird.

The safe, reasonable thing to do would be to return home and pretend this never happened. But being me, that's impossible. If I don't check it out now, I'll be pondering this for the rest of my life, wondering what on earth happened today.

So, I step into the cave.

And gasp.

I have a successful day on my adventures. The cave systems are filled with gems, and I even find a rare emerald on a very high ledge (Luckily, my magic works this time). I am just thinking of calling it a night when all of a sudden, I hear a growling sound from somewhere nearby. I search for the sound, and what I see scares me half to death.

A green, scaly beast, at least 15 feet tall, is staring right at me with its teeth bared at me. I have never heard of a jadebeast living in these parts! I figure I have about three seconds to make a decision: fight or run.

I run, and the jadebeast chases me.

I sprint at close to 50 miles per hour, faster than a normal elf could run. I try to cast a flight spell on myself, but it justs hits a rock and sends it flying in the air. NOW my spells fizzle! I run in all directions, not caring where I sprint off to. I eventually jump into a nearby cave, and the beast speeds right past me. I figure I don't have the time to get back to the village by dark. Luckily, it doesn't look like it will rain, so I climb to the top of the tree to find a good sleeping spot. I find an advantageous clearing near me, so I hustle to it and set up camp.

P.S. I think I should be joining with someone soon, but I just need an opportunity. Thanks.

So now I'm sitting in a room that looks like it's been electrified (because it has been) and talking to a bunch of people I have never met before in my life. What would my father say if he knew? All our lives, from our earliest days, all faeries of the Colouranya clan have been taught our code of conduct. It looks something like this: 

1. Colouranya is your clan, and so it is up to you to protect it at all costs, and without a thought for yourself.

2. Respect the elders.

3. A skill shoud never be wasted. If you have a talent, come to the elders immediately for an assignment.

4. Remain with the clan. Follow the elders orders, and do not talk to outsiders who have not yet proved themselves worthy.

So, yeah. That's pretty much my life. And I have just gone against numbers 1, 3, and 4 of the Code. It's mostly about not talking to anybody outside of the clan and respecting the elders. How do you become an elder? Live a thousand years, and never go against the Code. So my status will probably remain Archer for my entire life. Unless I never tell anyone?

"Oh! I forgot to ask. Would you like some tea?" says the electric monster girl.

"Erm, do you have rasberry?"

"Sure thing."

A basic survival skill taught to tiny faeries is Never Eat Strange Food, Or Food That You Get From Strangers. So I really shouldn't be drinking this tea that the momnster girl hands me, although I do love rasberries, and it smells so good... 

I take a sip. Delicious. Rasberries are always delicious, especialy when made into pies by the Colouranya cook.  I take another sip. Mmm... 

"So, where are you from?" asks another girl. I think she said her name was Stella.

Should I go against the code and reveal the clan's location? Best not. I'll just be vague.

"I just came to this forest yesterday".

"I see. Well then, there are a few things you should know."

Great. Information for the clan.

St. Owl, could you replie to this post and make Stella's speech for me? I don't want to decide to much of what your character says.

Name: Isiana

Race: Dragon-human crossbreed.

Appearance: long red-blonde hair. Green eyes. Freckles. Large black dragon-like wings that she usally wears in the appearance of a cape. Her right hand is metal, all the way up to her elbow.

Personality: Happy-go-lucky, Exspressive, out-going, thoughtful and intelligent.

Weapon: a large sword with various engravings. 

Career: Blacksmith. 

(I'm new at this, any tips?) 

" Thanks", I say to the girl who gave me directions. " I, uh, better get going. And, by the way, when you said that these bushes and stuff are owned by rabbits, do you mean that all the food is owned by them? Like, all of it? 'Cause if it is, I have to go tell Col- Er, Colleen, my, um, aunt."
