## Origins

Crystal grew up in a den surrounded by few trees in the plains. One day, her mother went out to gather berries, and she returned at sunset. She landed and handed Crystal the berries in her sack made from old poison ivy vines. When Crystal had walked to the edge of the den, she instantly heard something. She dropped the berries and then she saw her mum’s guts and intestines on the ground. Half of her body was inside the mouth of a kendyll’s. Her mum stared at her in fear and told Crystal to run as she dangled from inside the kendyll’s mouth. The Kendyll looked at Crystal, but he looked sad. He said he was doing this to make the promised prophecy come true. He was not doing it to be evil. Crystal ran and the kendyll went back down from the ledge covered in chains. When Crystal ran crying, she was not paying attention to where she was going.. the sky was starting to cloud up with rain as she ran. When she started to trot and stopped running when she heard a voice, “Hey! Who are you?” She began to run again and the voice keep talking. “Stop! Watch out!” Crystal ran head first into a tree and blood was marked onto her head.. she was unconscious. What a nightmare. Crystal was standing in pitch black water. She stood up and looked around. Nothing except blackness; oddly she could see as if it were daytime. She heard footsteps and looked around. An aereis. Pitch black with blood covering it as the intestines hung from its chest.. it walked towards Crystal and spoke with cracks, “It’s time to wake up.” She woke up breathing fast, she then saw a little fire in front of her.. a camp fire. She looked up at fear to see a chrysos at the other side. He spoke, “I won’t hurt you. Don’t worry, traveler..” Crystal still stared in fear and commented,
“Who are you?” They began to chat and finally, Crystal got his name. He was named, Hiko. She told him hers and they greeted each other. He told her that she had a bad wound and questioned where her eye and mask was. She replied that she was not born with it. He gazed in amaze with a slight blush at the beauty under an "aereis" mask. Soon enough it started to storm. In the middle of that a big hikorshi asked for shelter.. the winds were strong and he had his claws scraping on the rocks to stay held. Crystal begged Hiko and he finally gave in. The hikorshi walked in and introduced himself saying his name was “Rusty”. Hiko was suspicious of Rusty. Soon after they talked Rusty began to be weird.. he said odd stuff such as, “You’re a fine lookin’ Aereis, aren’t you?” and “such a beautiful pelt” Hiko snapped and yelled at him while Crystal felt weird and didn’t like Rusty.. Rusty replied to Hiko and looked at crystal, “Creatures would pay a lot of shrooms for that pelt of yers’, so why don’t you.. hand it over?” He launched at Crystal but Hiko took the hit, defending Crystal.. he had a huge cut on the left side of his face. It bled badly.. after a while the hikorshi left in pain because... well, he deserved it. Crystal bandaged up Hiko’s wound and helped him. After a week, Crystal said she was going to find her mother and save Sonaria. Hiko called her crazy.. Crystal did ask him to join her, but she left. Hiko lied alone in his cave. A mile away Crystal was walking and regretting her choice but then she heard a voice; Hiko was running towards her saying he would come. Soon after a week they came up upon a steep way across a mountain, It was storming still. Everything was wet and flooded. But there were more problems! There was a patrol coming up but they did not know. An Emphines black with red marking walked out and had seen them. It growled and chased after them. Hiko noticed it and ran with Crystal. They found a small cave and slid inside, having a hard time due to the entrance being very small. Seriously, who designed that cave? Finally, they popped inside and the Emphines lost their scent because of the rain. Crystal noticed berries with bites taken out of them and found a small bit of orange fluff hiding in a dead bush. She spoke calmly and the creature came out. A pero. She laid down and talked to it. It replied saying his name was Copper. Hiko stared at the pero oddly with a growling snout. Crystal asked what the small pero was doing so far from his family. He spoke and told her the story about his family— his cannibal family. She felt horrible for him. They ended up chatting for an hour. Hiko was triggered that Copper was getting all the attention and he spoke. Hiko growled at Crystal saying that this journey is just "find her mother”, causing Crystal and Hiko to fight with words. Crystal’s eyes and horn had showing with rage.. her pupils turned red.. unnatural, Hiko looked in fear. Her horn started to shine with a red glow but then it stopped when Hiko stormed out saying he was leaving. He left. To not be seen. Crystal laid down crying, and Copper tried comforting her.
