Quote:


There is an ancient Aeyan legend that says that when the world was created, the Flower Goddess Aey had created all of the plants on the planet at once. The process was exhausting, and the Goddess Aey couldn't nurture ALL of the plants in that state. So, with the last of her strength, she created helpers- Water-bringers. Their job was to bring the rain to the flowers, and to nurture and care for them.

As the Goddess Aey slept, the Water-bringers carried out their duties, multiplying in number and caring for the different kinds of plants in the world. And as they worshipped their Goddess of the Flowers, they gave themselves a name.

Aeya. From Aey.

The Aeya have since grown apart; developing preferences for which plants they nurture and banding together to form tribes. But all Aeya recognize their purpose and their shared traits, and all of the different tribes coexist peacefully, as cousins to each other.

Physical Traits:
The Aeya are a small, child-like species, and they are often referred to as "The Eternal Children." No matter how far they are into their lives, they always resemble very tiny children. No records exist of an Aeya growing taller than two feet, or shorter than ten inches. They are small and delicate creatures, and should be treated with care.

All Aeya are different, and the differences between tribes are sometimes so great that one might wonder if they're of the same species. However, there are some traits that ALL Aeya share. All Aeya have stumpy legs; like miniature tree trunks. There is an obscure legend that states that the first Aeya were created from the branches of a small sapling, but only a few Aeya know of it. Most Aeya don't question their features; their legs work just fine, and that's all that matters.

All Aeya are covered in a thin layer of fur, much like the fuzz on a peach. It's nearly impossible to see the hairs unless one is very close to an Aeya, but there is no question as to its existance if one reaches out to touch an Aeya. The fur is often patterned along the sides of the legs, but the patterns differ from tribe to tribe.

And finally, all Aeya have a large bump on their foreheads. Whether it used to be a horn or a bud is unknown, and their exact use is still a mystery, even to the Aeya. All they know is that when they touch it to a plant, it flourishes. There MUST be more to it, though...

Language and Communication:
The Aeya share a common language that sounds very much like the babbling of an infant, but there are many dialects that vary from tribe to tribe. They don't understand most human languages, but if properly trained, they can learn the basics without too much trouble. They can't form complex sentences in human languages, though, and their speech patterns (and voices!) will resemble those of toddlers. They are not telepathic, nor are they empathic, and their minds will not be able to comprehend such communication. (Just a note to all those psychics out there!)

Life-cycles and Lifestyles:
The Aeya live a VERY long time. So long, in fact, that none of them are sure if they would die if they aged enough. While they can be killed by injury or disease, none of them can think of one ever dying of old age.

And by that same token, none of them can remember a time when any Aeya were ever BORN. They know they had to have been born in order to come into existence, but they can't remember their birth, their parents, or ever growing up. They simply exist.

If a human wants to call an Aeya to become their companion, they must leave an Offering out for the Aeya. Offerings take a lot of time and effort to produce, and when made properly, glow faintly with the magic of life.

An Offering is left out among the plants. When it catches the interest of an Aeya, they will leave an indication that they had seen the Offering, and that they are interested in whatever left it there. Then, they will wait nearby for whoever left it to return.

Aeya are herbivores; they will not eat meat. Ever. They prefer to eat fruits, but can be persuaded to try other foods. They do not like to eat unnatural things (So no twinkies).

Ria:
When other tribes refer to the Ria, their strange metaphors liken them to what we could call "Vanilla". Average in height, average in build, average taste in clothing, and they bring water to the average plant. They have no distinguishing characteristics to set them apart from the rest of their race (Other than the fact that they have no distinguishing characteristics), but they don't mind. Their lives are simple, and their needs are simple to match.

Males and females tend to be similar in height, but the male will often have a lighter build than the female. Females are generally more outgoing and friendly than males, who tend to be shy and withdrawn.


Quote:


It is definitely the middle of nowhere. Nothing but leafy shrubbery and small trees as far as the eye can see, and a single, large, childish looking house right in the middle of it. There are no roads; there are no paths. Just plants.

The house itself is something to behold; it looks ripped straight out of a fairy tale; namely the one where two children stumble upon a house made completely of candy. The exterior is white, the accents are pink. The entire dwelling resembles a birthday cake, with a single chimney that could be a candle.

And then, there is the door. Painted dozens of brilliant colors with no rhyme or reason to them, it looks as if a child had dipped their hands into several buckets of paint and then drawn something of a pictoral diary entry. A single figure is repeated throughout the account, a small, happy looking being with stumpy legs, pigtails, and a prominant bump on the forehead. She is shown waking up, and then eating a breakfast of tasty fruits, getting dressed, going outside to play among the shrubs, and then then looking up at the sky as clouds form. It rains, and then the plants grow taller. Others like her join her, playing and frolicking in the rain as the plants around them are nurtured.

When it is all finished, they return, and at the bottom of the door, it shows her returning to a very LARGE being with pigtails. She eats dinner (more fruits), bathes, and then goes to sleep.

The pictures go around something at the bottom; something that appears to be a tiny door, right in the middle of the large door. This door is no more than two feet tall, with a clumsily painted word on it in shocking pink. "Anandra."

As if just being there summons her presence, the little door is flung open as the being from the drawings pokes her head out.

She stares upward, smiles cheerfully, and chatters something in a strange, baby-talk sounding language as she gestures frantically toward the big doorknob. She's inviting you into her home, eager for you to meet her friends and share her experiences.

It was a strange day indeed, the day I along with a few other people, stumbled across a strange little dwelling. It was a fanciful little building - I remembering rubbing my eyes and then pinching my arm to see if I was merely dreaming. As we approached a charming little creature came out of the building, halting explaining in the most basic of words who she was. A tribe of peoples; the Aeya, who looked after plants of all types. She said that there were more Aeya out there who we could bond with - help them in their life so to speak but we needed to attract them, leave an offering so that they would know we wanted them so come out of hiding. There were 8 little offerings that this Aeya, whose name we found out was Anandra, showed us. We picked a colour we were drawn to - I chose a rich citrus orange colour. Then they were literally flung out into the gardens around Anandra's little home and we were told that now all we had to do was wait and hope.

The plants around the Offering have grown just a tiny bit taller, and some have already begun to bloom. The soil around the shrubs was once barren, but is now covered in a fine layer of new grass.

And growing out of the jewel of the offering... is a single flower.

Although there's nobody in sight, there is definately a presence nearby. One that seems to be ready to play.

According to Anandra there is definately an Aeya attracted to the offering I chose, and a flower has even sprouted from it! Around the offerings are signs of new growth - as if the plants are being nutured by an as yet unseen presence. I hope very much that I shall see the Aeya sometime soon. I will have to make sure that I get plenty of potted plants and let 'her' - for I believe Anandra mentioned that the Aeya was female - have a garden of her own.

Aeya emerges!

Anandra is nowhere to be seen, but in the distance, there is the sound of the familiar babble of her native language.

Anandra appears to be talking to someone...?

Sayuri_Nitta
Sayuri had been wandering around, just taking in the sights, looking at the flowers and plants when she heard faint sounds and she wandered cautiously closer.

Junyi
As Sayuri approaches, Anandra suddenly leaps out of the bushes, slapping Sayuri's ankle as she races by.

"SAYURI'S IT! NO TAGBACKS!"

....Who else is there to tag? confused

Sayuri_Nitta
Sayuri laughed.
'Well if i cant tag you who else do I tag huh?' she chuckled.

Junyi
Something nearby is... giggling?

Sayuri_Nitta
Sayuri looked around, peering down a little, brushing aside plants carefully.
'Is someone there?' she asked.

Junyi
A pair of bright green eyes stare back at Sayuri... and then there is a flash of orange as the being turns and begins to dash away, squealing and giggling.

Sayuri_Nitta
'Hey! ' Sayuri called, as she strode after the little creature that had flitted away.
'Come back...I would like to be your friend!' she said, as she listened for more giggling.

Junyi
A string of babbled words, and then the Aeya reappears, standing directly in front of Sayuri.

She stamps her foot, pouting slightly as she babbles some more, and gestures frantically.

She seems to be telling Sayuri she has to TAG her.

She then rolls her eyes and holds her hand out, heaving an overly dramatic sigh.

Sayuri_Nitta
Sayuri giggles, finally getting it and pats the Aeya on the back of the hand.
'Tag.' she said, with a smile.

My Aeya finally emerged! I had gone back to the little dwelling where Anandra lived, the garden of which she had put the offerings in. Anandra tagged me when I got there - telling me I couldnt tag her back - which I found confusing as there was no one else around! Thats when I heard the noise; a little giggle and when I went to investigate a little creature that could only be an Aeya scampered away from me. I managed to catch up with the citrus coloured little girl. She made me tag her and I named her Radha.
She seems very lively and bright. A few other Aeya's made theirselves know whilst we were still there - she met a pink hued Aeya who was rather emotional at first I think.
Radha speaks mostly in the strange little language that the Aeya converse in - I have managed to teach her how to say mine and her names in english so far, but I think she likes the fact that she can talk in a way I cant understand - she talks to herself whilst walking amongst the flowers in my garden.

Radha complained today that she sees little of the other Aeya - at least I think thats what she said. It was mostly her babbling language, but she managed to insert some english 'biggun bad!' 'no see Aeya!' - so I'm guessing thats her meaning. I told her that being busy couldnt be helped and that we would visit them soon enough. Letting her have a free rein with the plants in my garden helped alleviate her mood and she was soon as happy and bouncy as usual. I have noticed a definate change in the condition of my garden. All the flowerings plants have bloomed and the colours seem more vibrant - the plants overall seem healthier and dare I say it happier? Radha seems to spend much of the day out there and its certainly helped.
