Akina is sitting at her desk again as Cassiopeia sways in her hair. A glass of water sits off to the side, and Akina is holding a paper in her grasp. She flips open her journal and takes a long sip of water.

All day today, all I've been craving is water. I must be dehydrated.

A cough echoes out from Akina's throat, and she takes another sip. As the glass nears her lips, the feather in her hair blows forward as if it is trying to get to the glass. Quirking an eyebrow, Akina removes Cassiopeia from her hair and places the glass of water in front of her. Thinking for a moment, she picks up the fenthry and places it, tip first in the cup. She laughs this time, picking up her pen to write more.

Well, that was strange. I guess Cassie was thirsty too. I had a glass of water out, and she kept pulling herself towards it. Odd...

Actually, I don't feel very thirsty anymore either.

Everday, I learn something new with my little girl. I can't wait until she emerges from the feather. I want to teach her to speak! Oh, we could have such lovely conversations.

Akina taps the glass of water with the tip of her pen.

I think I'll let her sleep in the glass of water tonight. She seems to like it. Maybe I'll take her to the beach when she finally reveals herself to me.

Oh, and I got my membership card into the Fenthry Perservation Society.

It feels nice to be a part of something like this.

A light purring is heard in the corner as a green cat-like creature hops up into Akina's lap. She smiles and strokes its fur.

Verde can't wait to see Cassiopeia either. I was shocked when I felt this little bundle moving in my messenger bag. She hatched so much earlier than I expected. It was a pleasant surprise though.

Well, the sun set a long time ago so it's off to bed with me.

Akina turns off the lamp and picks up Verde and the glass of water holding Cassiopeia. She sets the glass by the bed and lets Verde snuggle under the covers.

"Goonight, you two."

Standing in the kitchen of her house, Akina is busy at work cooking dinner for herself and all her children. Across the room, the little feather is sitting on a soft pillow, safe from the heat of the stove. There is a pot on the stove that is bubbling over while Akina is trying to feed her Dulin, Verde. Hearing the sizzling noises, she raises and eyebrow and curses, running to the pot.

"It's burning! Oh no, oh no, oh no..."

Looking around, she grabs a thick cooking glove and uses it to move the scalding pot to the sink where it lands with a thud, water spitting forth. On the floor, a small green animal skirts away to the corner, avoiding the droplets, but Akina is not so lucky.

"Ouch! Oh crap... Wow, that burns."

While Akina bounces around on her heels, waving her hand at the burned patch on her arm, she neglects to notice the flash of light and absence of feather on the table. Sinking into a chair, small teardrops formed in the corners of her eyes. This had not been a good day at all, and to top it all off, her arm was burning. Wiping at her eyes, a sudden chill overtook her body, starting at her arm.

"Huh?"

Perched on her forearm was an olive colored child with beautiful teal hair and bright, deep eyes. The creature was leaning over, blowing on Akina's arm where she had been burned. But as the air came forth from the animal's lips, it had a cold mist intertwined in it. Akina's eyes went wide and she scooped her child into her hands.

"You-You're beautiful. Welcome to the world, Cassie."

Blinking, Cassiopeia cocked her head to the side and leapt to her mother's shoulder, nuzzling her tears away. Despite her age, the little fenthry had a bright smile on her face, and she liked to hold onto her feet and roll on her back. Getting to her feet, Akina was beaming in the presence of her child. She crossed to the far wall and picked up the telephone, dialing a number.

"Yes, Yummy Yummy? I'd like a delivery made. A family sized fried rice with wontons on the side please."

Akina is now in her room, and Cassiopeia is chasing her pen across the paper as she is writing, causing a few splotches and stray marks all over the paper.

She's finally here, and I couldn't be happier. I had kind of taken her feather state for granted I think. It never occurred to me that she would hatch so soon! It just solidifies in my mind that she was as eager to meet me as I was to meet her.

She's so tiny... Like a fairy or something. Oh, and her little wings are adorable. She hasn't started trying to flutter with them or anything, but I can't wait until they grow to be full sized so she can test them out. Well, I kind of can't wait. Part of me wants her to be my little girl forever.

Cassiopeia is carefully watching a purple ball of fluff sitting on the desk, another child of Akina's. She looks around a bit before pouncing on the ball and trying to play with it.

Cassie has really taken a liking to my little katter baby who has yet to show its face. I hope the two will be fast friends.

Oh! And Lyra hatched too. So now I have Cassie, Verde, and Lyra out in the open, starving for attention. I know I'm going to have my hands full, but I love the stress.

Besides, we form a sort of funny family, you know? And that is what makes it so special.

I should head to bed now. I don't want to make little Cassie stay up late on her first night as a child.

Akina closes the diary and looks up to see Cassie fast asleep, lying on top of the purple ball of fluff. Chuckling, Akina shuts the light off and takes her children to bed.

The lights are low in the Tokuwa household, and the soothing sounds of a melodic beat fill the rooms. Cassiopeia is standing on the desk, dancing to the music with the little ball of purple fluff that she has taken a liking to. Akina is laughing and smiling while trying to write in her journal.

I think I took Cassie's feather state completely for granted, the silence that is. But she is such a riot now! I never thought that something so small could have so much energy, but my little fenthry never ceases to amaze me.

Earlier today, we were playing hide and go seek, and I lost her for about 20 minutes. I started to get really scared, and I kept calling her name. But she was no where to be found. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, I heard my kitsdrayon, Lyra, yipping at something in the pantry. So, I walked over and looked inside only to discover Cassie fast asleep behind a jar of green olives. She blended in so well with the jar that I hadn't noticed her at all.

That night, I gave Lyra an extra helping of dinner for helping me find Cass. It's so easy to lose her as she is so tiny, but I think I can handle it. And it helps that she seems to still depend a lot on me. Still, she is very independent for her age, venturing out a little farther than she probably should.

I caught her flapping her wings for the first time today. Of course, she can't fly with them yet, but when she gets excited, the flutter in short gusts and her tail whips around.

She's so beautiful.

I visited the Fenthry Foundation yesterday, and I got to see pictures of the other fenthry children. But no one was there to meet my little Cassie in person.

Oh well. I'll bring her by another day.

Well... it's getting late, and I need to get my kids to bed. Night then.

The music is turned off and the lights go out. The shuffling of several people climbing into bed is heard before they all go silent, excluding their deep breathing.

It's funny to me that, no matter how many pets I buy, Cassiopeia holds a very special place in my heart. She is still very dependent on my, unlike most of my others.

Her little green paws and bright teal wings make her feel so... innocent to me. I can't imagine her hurting anyone. Still, she is spunky. And I mean that in every meaning of the word. She loves to play hide and seek with me without letting me know too. It gives me a heart attack every time.

Ever since that day with the olive jar, she has decided that hiding should be her specialty. I guess it makes sense though. Her fur oftentimes reminds me of the military camoflague my father used to wear.

And that's another thing: will the lack of male influence in her life affect her? I doubt it. If anything, I just think it will make her a stronger, more independent woman. I have great plans for my little girl.

As I write this, she is curled up on the bed with Cara, Verde, and Lyra. I swear, those three pets have become like guardians to her in their own right. They're always watching out for her. It helps me out a lot actually.

I can't resist. I have to stop writing and go snuggle with my babies. They're irresistable!

Today was a very entertaining day for many reasons. But it all started with Cassiopeia deciding she wanted to learn how to swim. Of course, she neglected to tell me of this as she dove headfirst from my shoulder into a large bowl of water that I was about to wash a bundle of grapes in.

Being so small, her body made a small ripple across the surface and a tiny splashing sound. In fact, I didn't even notice she had done it. Crossing to the fridge, I grabbed the grapes and set them on the counter to rip off the mesh protecting them.

"Hey, Cassie, grab the scissors from the drawer, will you?" I asked, assuming she was still on my shoulder. But she didn't murmur anything in response at all. "Cassie?" I repeated, reaching up to my shoulder.

She wasn't there.

Shocked, I dropped the grapes on the counter, rushing over to the table. I saw her little green body flailing under the shimmering surface of the water. My hands reached out to save her, but then I noticed something strange. She wasn't drowning; she was swimming. Her little wings were flapping hard, propeling against the bowl.

She was gliding, soaring through the waters. It was beautiful. Spotting me, she broke the surface giggling in a high pitched whine, splashing water at me.

She was under for so long. She should have drowned, but I think she can breathe underwater using some type of gills or something. Nonetheless, she is absolutely amazing.

I've started teaching Cassiopeia how to read and write, not sure why. One morning, I was sitting there reading a book, and she crawled onto my lap, tugging at me to read it to her. So I did.

Still, I think she would like it better if she could read to herself so I ran to the store and got a couple children's books for her to play with, all elementary stuff. They are bigger than she is, but she seems to like them a lot. I even caught her napping with one earlier.

We're up to letter U in the alphabet as well, and she can already write her own name which is an accomplishment in itself. She seems to be a very fast learner.

After learning how to swim, bath time has become a two hour ordeal for me. She hears the bath water running and will go flying up the stairs, diving head first into the moisture. I still don't know how she breathes underwater, but I know that she does because she'll open her mouth and breath it in to her system.

God... she just amazes me.

I don't have time to say much of anything right now, but I will leave you with a few words.

Yesterday was the Fourth of July, and I don't think I've ever seen Cassiopeia so nervous/excited.

Needless to say, her first experience was quite... entertaining?

I must run now! I'll write more soon.

I will not have computer access for the week of July 10th to July 17th. I will be in Ocean City with my mother and sisters. Please do not take away my Fenthry in my absence. I promise that I will be roleplaying with her as much as possible when I get home, but I just have very limited resources out here.

I am actually in Maryland right now on another trip, but I am fortunate enough to get to see a computer for a few minutes every three days or so.

So, again, I will return in a week. I hope this is not a problem, but I can't control my vacation or my family.

Akina sat quietly on her front porch swing, letting the breeze rock her back and forth slowly. Her crystal eyes were bloodshot, and her cheeks were sagging, pale. It had been a long day for her.

Only a few days ago, she and Cassiopeia had returned to their house from a seventeen day vacation, and Akina had thought that Cassie would be overjoved. But something was wrong.

The little fenthry seemed so... depressed. She didn't even like swimming anymore. Each day she grew more and more irritable, lashing out at the tiniest things. Akina glanced over to her journal that lay on the floor in the family room, neglected and partially destroyed by one of Cassiopeia's outbursts.

The mother of this fenthry knew something was wrong the day she found Cassiopeia in the fetal position sobbing. At first, Akina had been stunned; she had no idea what was wrong. But then she saw it, a ladybug with a needle pushed straight through it, murdered.

And Cassie had done it.

This might not seem like such a strange occurance, but Cassiopeia was usually such a gentle fenthry, quiet even. She was curious, yes, but not cold-blooded. She would never kill a single ant... but she had done it.

Scooping her child into her hands, Akina rushed her out of the room and laid her down on a soft pillow in the living room while she removed the ladybug from the house.

A breeze picked up as the rocking chair gliding a little higher than average, causing the little bundle on Akina's chest to wiggle a little. It was Cassiopeia, fast asleep on her mother's chest, moving like the ocean along with her breathing.

Only moments ago, those little features had been drawn into a vicious scowl as Cassie flung whatever she could at her mother. It had carried on for nearly an hour.

"Cassie! I just want to know what is wrong! Is that too much to ask?" Akina's earlier words echoed through her head as the scene repeated itself through her memories.

Wings extended, Cassie had taken to the air (She learned how to hover a bit soon after perfecting her swimming.) and tried to dart away, but her undersized wings could not sustain her. Frustrated, she ground her knuckles into the floor, making disgruntled chirps. They began to bleed.

"Stop it! You're hurting yourself!" Rushing forward, Akina tried to grab Cassie, but she skirted awat under a table. But she had managed to get a hold of her tail. Cassiopeia yelped as her mother pulled her out, cupping her body with her hands so that only her face was exposed.

"Tell me now," she ordered, getting very serious. Cassie preceded to wiggle and bite her mother's fingers as best she could to break free, but Akina was focused despite the blood trickling down her hand from the bite wounds.

"Are you happy now?" Akina said through broken sobs, glancing down at the wound her daughter had given her. "You've hurt me emotionally and physically now. So stop it!"

Cassie paused for a moment as tears began to brim at the corners of her eyes. Suddenly, she flung her forward, crying in a high moaning pitch. Immediately, Akina let her go and gave her a hug, holding her as they both cried.

I don't have any friends...

Akina opened her eyes at the occurance of another voice in her head. It was soft and deep, flowing even. She had no doubt who it was coming from.

And I'm tired of being so small.

The little voice swelled with sobs, and Cassiopeia went limp, exhausted from their excursion. Standing, Akina had carried her to the porch swing where they still sat now. Within moments, Cassie had fallen fast asleep.

"It's my fault," Akina said aloud, scolding herself. "I never take her to the Foundation. I never give her a chance to meet anyone else like her." She lifted her hand and stroked her daughter's soft teal hair, itching along her spine.

"This will only get worse... Once she is a teenager, she'll want a boyfriend and people to surround herself with. I can't be her only friend," she admitted.

"It's all my fault..."

Again, Akina glanced back at the destroyed journal before staring out at the horizon while her daughter slept peacefully on her chest.

Two lone words reverberated through her mind.

My fault...
