Cured my writer's block for now!^^ Little note to all you fans out there <3 You can find a quick write here, which is a page that should be up and running fully by this Sunday. If the link isn't working; http://www.rescreatu.com/petpages/index.php?id=1983110 I'm also working on another big project right now, so writing here may be a little slow. :c
~
Yep; Probably not many of you know this - I love to write. I hope you enjoy this, and if you do, welcome to my amazing group of fans who've being reading the pet page since forever <3 Yep, I love all of you! If you don't like it, thats also great - especially if you could tell me why? Please don't be cruel though. XD
Here's my first piece of work I did on Rescreatu about my first tesuri Sashiea. NO, ITS NOT A 'FANFIC' DX IF YOU LOOK BEHIND IT, THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN IMPORTANT MEANING! >:U Alot of it I've lost since I started, as it was all stored on one pet page and I had to delete some after a while to make it all fit. So, anyway. ;u; If you want to redistribute, please give me credit. ________________________________________________________________
Introduction
The egg was laid - On a nest of pure red and white silk, surrounded by every sort of lucky charm imaginable, in the most luxurious stable. The tesuri breeders weren't superstitious in the least, but an albino's egg shouldn't be handled lighty. They had payed a fortune for the female albino and 'to borrow' the albino male tesuri, get him imported - all so they could hatch an albino tesuri. The colour; worth a large amount of the four planet's currency- TU. The egg was hatched - On a nest of pure red and white silk, surrounded by every sort of lucky charm imaginable, in the most luxurious stable. The mother never left the eggs side - her gossamer white fur,a bright yellow tip on her feathers of her wings. But the centerpiece, the main attraction, her eyes. A rose in a bouquet of daises, the bright burning red, the blood in the snow.
But if there is anything I've learn't in my life so far its that the charms don't always work. My name is Sashiea, and I'm a freak.

Chapter 1 I wasn't, despite the best efforts of the breeders, an albino. I was a horrible mistake, a shade of pale blue, the sky. I wasn't the blood in the snow. I wasn't the rose among the daisies. I wasn't even a daisy. I was a weed, common, picked out and thrown away. I wasn't worth anything. I can still see the scene in my minds eye, my dreams, whether at day or night; The moment when the breeders saw me. I stared up innocently at the faces which had suddenly appeared. They'd opened a door, and suddenly it was very bright, so bright I had to squint to make out the outlines of them. One raised something to its lips; I sniffed curiously. I had incredibly good senses for my age, about a week and a half old - most wolves can walk at 2 weeks, this also showed intelligence at a young age. I wasn't sure what it was, but I could tell something smelt wrong. The dart flew from the pipe at the man's mouth. .It flew through the air faster than I'd ever seen anything move - the pure presicion, accuracy. It took my breath away from my tiny chest for a second... It hit her side, and then there truly was blood among the snow.

Chapter 2 I made a noise as close to a scream as I think I'll ever get. What was this red liquid seeping from her hind leg? What were these two large arms reaching out for me going to do? I didn't know then, but of course, my mother had been sedated. The hands reached out for me, and grabbed me. I was lifted into the light roughly, and when I tryed to move, I was just gripped harder. Then, a voice came from the huge beast grasping me. I learn't English as I grew older, and it turns out he said 'It's a nattie!' then something which, to put lightly, shouldn't be written... .While he was busy shouting things I couldn't understand, I, scared, bit down on his hand, drawing more of the red liquid that had spilled from my mothers wound; who was now slumpe don the floor. It tasted salty and metallic. I spat it out. He screamed louder. More things that shouldn't be written... .He squeezed me harder. Unable to breath, I let go of his hand Every night, I dream I'm back there, but I can't let go of his hand, I can't breathe... I wake up in a cold sweat every morning, the taste of blood in my mouth. He threw me down onto the ground, and I landed on my feet. I spat the last drops of blood at his feet scornfully, then turned and walked back to my mother.

Chapter 3 A few years later, I had my first day out of the field. I was allowed out earlier than most cubs - I'd tried to fly in my stable once too many times to stay in there anyway. After all, I was still a tesuri of noble blood.. Just not a noble colour. Once I was older, I read many manus, books, and more on tesuris; The most common definition I found was- 'Centuries ago, the Tesuri may have been glimpsed soaring through the skies of Scria; their sky blue coats and white feathers the perfect camouflage for these graceful, airborne hunters. Even in their native world they were a rare sight, for they kept to themselves, giving other Creatu and humans a wide berth. Even so, it became obvious at some point that the Tesuri were having difficulties when reported sightings began to decrease each year. Loyna, the Guardian of Scria, set out to find them and discover what was happening. Those Tesuri that consented to speak with her told her tales of their prey being stolen by other hunters, and about how they had been driven from traditional hunting areas. Loyna contacted the other Guardians, and gained permission from Palora to relocate the Tesuri to Atquati. Only a few groups consented to cross the portal and leave their home, but it was enough. Though the Tesuri vanished from Scria, they thrived on Atquati with little competition from other land predators. They adapted to their environment by learning how to swim and waterproof their feathers with oils from certain Atquatian plants. The translucent film that protected their eyes from wind while in flight was also useful for helping the Tesuri to see under water. Despite their brush with extinction, the Tesuri have survived. Though they still keep to themselves in the wild, they have been known to shelter and guide lost travelers back to known landmarks. Their ability to learn and their quick wit make them valuable companions should one manage to obtain one of their well hidden eggs. When raised from the egg they are the most loyal of all Atquati Creatu, being especially good with children. Should you happen to gain the love of one of these magnificent Creatu, consider yourself blessed and treasure them always.' That still brings a tear to my eye. I was never treasured. I was the weed. .I skipped out into the field, and took off straight away. It didn't go how I planned. I crashed straight into a group of lemon and lime tesuris. They all laughed at me. At that moment, that was when I realised how simply the colour of my fur could change everything... But not quite. Then mother walked over to me with another tesuri about a year or two older than me stepped over. He had that way of holding himself, his poise, that spoke with no words; that he wasn't intented to be on the ground. He was light on his feet like a dancer. Of course, I knew his name even then.We'd all seen him in the sky.. Mother and one of the current owners of the tesuri farm walked towards me. She spoke, never quite looking me in the eye like she always did; 'Aedinn here is to teach you to fly. You shall start now.' She looked away, a tear in her eye, and I caught the murmured words of the man stood next to her which made my heart jolt. 'This is one of our only hopes to get her sold to a good home. Don't let her mess up on this one.'

Chapter 4 I smiled, pretending I hadn't heard. Aedinn smiled back slightly, who seemed to have not noticed, or if he did, he didn't show it. By the end of the day, he'd taught me the basics of flying, and I could already fly better than the tesuris I crashed into earlier - who were looking very jealous, but somehow at the same time managing to flutter their eyelashes at him. I laughed. And that's how it was for years. Aedinn and I were the closest of friends - My only friend. I could fly like nothing seen before, as he spent more time perfecting, teaching, and working hard on my flight. In races, I always won. In fact, I only lost to Aedinn and my mother. In fact, my life was only worth talking about when the day came, a month later when I was finally due to be sold. Not because of my colour, of course, but my flying, agility, intelligence, and fighting skills. The possible buyers wanted to inspect me the following day, and decide if I was the pet they wanted to dye with a dye kit. Of course, I didn't want to leave. Mother was to be inspected by them too, as she was now in satisfactory health to be sold after nursing me up to my age now. Aedinn, suprisingly, wasn't gone yet, though his high colour caused interest, but we always managed to stay together somehow. That night, we left. I don't remember how, but Aedinn and I escaped. One thing I do remember was staring at my mother one last time, knowing she would be treated well at her new home, knowing she would be treasured, knowing she would always be the rose among the daises, the blood among the snow, and she would never be a weed, knowing, deep down, she would be relived to not have to care for me, the mistake with everything but the colour she needed to be loved.

Chapter 5 We were out. Free. And that was all that mattered. Up in the sky, pure joy and adrenaline raced through my veins, and I flew better than ever before, because I was free, and I wasn't ever going back. I could start again, pretend the blood running through my veins, spreading the adrenaline through my body, wasn't the noble, albino blood it truly was. We flew around, celerbrating our freedom, and then left the area. We headed to the nearby forest, and made a small campfire. Suddenly, I was drowsy, and tired. We curled up next to each other, and slept. We slept deeply that night, and I slept well, only waking once, at the climax of my repetative dream - the dream when the breeders first realised I wasn't a rose, not even a daisy. A weed. In the morning, we hunted for food, rabbits, mice, and anything we could find. We slept again. It went on like that for a while, until one night.. Aedinn was gone. I didn't know then, if he'd left me, if he'd been recaptured by the breeders, if he'd been hunted, or what. But I wasn't to find out for a long time yet, and sometimes I wish I'd never seen him again...

Chapter 6 I flew into an instant panic, of course. I didn't think I could live without him. But there's always the other lesson life taught me; never give up. That's probably the most clichéd, corny, mushy saying ever, but I guess it's true. When I write this now, I know, if I'd given up, I'd be dead. I ended up curled up in a ball in a dark part of the forest, with no idea where I was. The poised, acrobatic, optimistic tesuri I knew was gone, and I was alone. I didn't want to move a muscle, I decided. I was just going to lay here, and let myself die. But, that night, I found Surfie. I heard a noise. A twig snap. I knew someone or something was approahing, and I decided I really was going to die now, and I didn't care. Aedinn had been the only thing worth living for in my world of noble blood with un-noble colours. And now I could die, the genetic mistake, the freak. I would not be missed - as Aedinn had obviously scarpered. I lay down, and prepared to die... And instead, I was saved. * Another twig snapped, and I started to tremble slightly. Maybe, just maybe,Aedinn hadn't left me.Maybe, just maybe, I could save money up and buy a Dye Kit. Maybe.. Another twig snapped. I whimpered out in fear. I wasn't ready to die. Suddenly, I became angry. I deserved this. I deserved to die. I was just a pathetic natural, a mistake, a weed. As this all span round and round my head, I began to cry. I grew angrier and angrier at myself, thinking I was stupid and pathetic. I was, but I wasn't ready to die, but I deserved it, until I was full out sobbing. Part of me patheticly hoped it was Aedinn, but I knew he'd gone. I was left, like the rubbish I was, in the middle of a forest all alone. I was going to die, and I deserved it. My emotions wound themselves round and round in my head, until I screamed out as though in pain. Anger coursed through my veins, and I thrashed around. The anger wouldn't leave me, and the vividness of unbottling it after all these years almost seemed to hurt. A pain in my heart started, and I continued to scream. I was no use alive, or dead. That's what I used to think back then.. And every now and then, I remember that day.

Chapter 7 One more snap of a twig, and then the figure stepped out of the darkness. I went utterly silent now; whether I liked it or not, my foolish escape had resulted in my death. In a last dying wish, I looked up at the creature about to kill me, and saw a tiny, barely two week old sepia tesuri. The pain in my heart was still there and I still was annoyed, but I knew this tesuri wasn't here to hurt me. The tiny creature's eyes stared right at me, and then it spoke in a tiny voice, telling me in a trembling voice, that it was lost. And from that day on, I was my little Surferio's guardian. He was the most adorable thing I'd ever seen, and I can still remember the first time he caught a rabbit. He was so proud. And I was proud too, to have another to travel with. Though he was a lot younger than me, he seemed able to talk, very maturely, about the night he'd found me - being a sepia - a pretty, pale brown, with green stripes he knew this too. * We were the most efficent team, even more so when we grew in size.. CloudDasher, a pretty cream Tesuri joined us. She followed me

Awwwh! Karma <3 Every time I consider entering that contest, I'm either not around, or I'm always convinced there are better writers out there, but it has always been a dream to enter that contest.. Maybe I will :3 And I'll write some more in a sec for you <3 Edit; '4. All entries MUST be kept private. If they should be publicly posted on forums, blogs, or anywhere else on the site, the entry will be disqualified and you lose your chance to enter the current contest.'
That's the fourth rule; I couldn't use this story. :c I still think I will try this year though. :3

Oh, I see. Too bad, the story is really good IMHO. But I'm sure you'll come up with something equally good, or even better, if you decide to take part in the contest. Anyway, I wish you best of luck :3 |

Update; You can find a quick write here(If the link isn't working; http://www.rescreatu.com/petpages/index.php?id=1983110) which is a page that should be up and running fully by this Sunday. That helped kick my writer's block too, so on the topic of good news, I've cured my writer's block for now!^^ I'm also working on another big project right now which you might see here and there, though unfortuantly I might have to edit some parts. :c But I promise I'll write here when I can, and thank you guys for being patient, and for all the Rmail I've recieved, and all the posts on this thread. <3
