It was aystens birthday and he was happy as could be, this was his second year since his life had changed drasticly and recently it had changed drasticly again. He looked out on the tiny island he called his home and smiled widely as he walked outside and began preparing for the feast he had planned. Setting out food he had cooked and preparing in general. Aysten had sent invites to all of his friends some far away and others closer.
Leaning down as he walked back inside he grabbed the bag containing the three pendants he had made previously and tucked them into a pack. He smiled once more when he realized how much he had changed in a year. Last year for his birthday he had stood around moping and crying. But now he moved around with a new sense of purpose that brought a pep to his step...
Nandon sat at the bank watching the small island that had become his students home. Nandon had been gone for some time wandering around. It seemed all his other friends had abandoned him and that had depressed him for some time untill recently when he realized how close it was to his friends birthday and he had hurried back to civilization. He now watched aysten and wondered what had brought about the new change.

Anira and Herion carefully made their approach, foot prints scuffling quietly on the ground while his claws gently cuffed up a bit of dirt with each step. Just a bit closer. The invisibility spell slowly drained what little energy she had gained after the encounter with the ebony Rider.
Three, two, one... - "Surprise!" Anira leaped forward, ending her spell and pulling Aysten into a hug. Herion let out a large roar, stomping the ground and nosing him in the back with his scaly muzzle.
"Happy birthday, Aysten!" The two mimicked together, pulling back her bear hug and presenting a small little package from out of her saddlebag. "This, is for you, from both of us." |

Aysten had only just stopped working and he stood admiring his handiwork when anira sprung her trap yanking him back into a bear hug he was at first caught of guard but then he smiled greatly and accepted the present still smiling. But not before aysten had returned a present of his own.
All day long aysten had been hyper and this he blamed on some choclate he had eaten last night. But as anira hugged him and the came in contact she would have felt a rush of energy. Most likely refilling whatever she had used casting the spell and pherhaps a little extra.
"I am so glad you could make it!"He said delight evident in his voice he then turned his gaze to heron "did you see yourself coming to my party when you first saw me injuried from that tree heron?"

Herion snorted deliberately as he leaned down to stare Aysten in the eye before responding through their minds,"No, but I did expect you to become one with the tree after that type of smack down." Anira put a hand to her mouth quickly, keeping herself from chuckling at the funny remark. He truly would never live down that moment, though he's made up for it a hundred times over already.
Anira stared at the gift curiously, raising an eyebrow and murmured,"I knew you were odd, but I never though of you as this strange. You know that you're the one that's supposed to receive presents, yes?" She wasn't being her usual quiet self, being accustomed to being around Aysten especially with all their travels.
Herion glanced at a nearby pine at the end of the clearing, glancing back at Aysten with an amused glance. Who knows what he was thinking? Another birthday surprise, perhaps?
She carefully stared up at the sky, wondering if Vlaer and Belgabad would be making an arrival. |

Aysten kept a straight face for about thirty seconds and thats when he broke out laughing. "I mean i guess that is partially true since i live within a tree." Aysten finally managed to say his sides still shaking slightly. Thus occupied aysten missed herons glance at the treeline. Then shrugging once more "what can i say? Im very happy today...infact i have a special speach prepared for today" he said grinning ear to ear quite proud of himself. Then he turned to the table and moved to the small box "so what did you get me? Aysten asked as he began unwrapping the paper

"Oh, just a normal pendant. Nothing special or anything, but I have one and you have one. Whenever one or the other is in danger the other will be notified of it. I believe they also have protective wards to decrease the chance of getting hit, shot at, killed, etc." Anira pulled out hers, etched in with his name over a beautiful purple gem that would exactly match his. Except for the name tags, of course.
Herion flicked his tail across the ground, leaving scraped marks from where his jagged spikes stroked the ground. He gripped the pine with his jaws and gave a gentle tug, pulling the roots and the tree itself out of the ground with simple ease. "For you." He dropped the tree at Aysten's feet, Anira leaping backwards to avoid the tightly packed needles.
"Herion!" Anira shook her head quietly, slightly grinning at his foolishness. "I apologize for his behavior. A little hyper I suppose." |

 Syaoran was perched on a tree branch. He was in human form and was sitting so one leg dangled down. Learning slightly forward he watched Astyen's party guests start to arrive. The were cat hadn't been invited to the party but he liked to be where interesting things were happening and at the moment that was this party. He wasn't hiding by any means, all it would take was for someone to look in his direction to see him. Why should he hide, they were of the Varden. |

Aysten cast his gaze upward as he noticed another presance. His invitation he had sent to the elven city slithrim had said anyone who wishes to come my join in on the festivities. So he wondered why now he saw a person sittin in the tree alone. This was before heron dropped a tree infront of him and he retreated a bit frowning before he smiled "ah yes and i have a present for you heron!"He he muttered a word in the ancient language and the tree once again took root and slowly pulled itself back up. Then he began muttering a constant spell of weaving and cchanging. When aysten finished he smiled at his invention "there you are Heron...a dragon scratching post for you to sharpen your talons and fangs. The tree shall regenerate whatever damage is caused by filling a small gem which sits next to the tree now. And it shall never be unrooted as i have bound the tree to that location."He was smiling now and he cast his gaze up once more "hello there sir. Why dont you come down and join in our festivities?"

(sorry for taking so long, had to go to my classes :L)
Tired and out of breath after the fight with the Shade and the squadron of 100 soldiers he had just killed, Vlaer climbed Belgabad til his saddle was close enough for him to reach it with a mighty jump. Once they got up the leather sack which contained Belgabad's grandsire's Eldunari said "You are late for your friend Aysten's birthday party, your apprentices are already there." Cursing himself for having busied himself with the Varden he sapped the energy of all the soldiers that he recently killed and put it into Belgabad to speed their flight. 3 days and 3 nights they flew furiously til they got to where it was. With amusement their minds sensed Aysten's, Anira's, and Herion however they felt another mind..a werecat! "Stop moving off track" grumbled Belgabad. Shaking his head, Vlaer took out the gift he had made for Aysten. An Elven ring he made, with a gem the same color as Oblivion and Belgabad's scales. It might be normal to most observers, however it contained energy Belgabad, the Eldunari of Belgabad's grandsire Belgabad I and Vlaer had been storing within it for a week now. The energy within it was enough to move a mountain without strain and still have extra. Roaring their arrival Belgabad steadied himself as he landed and Vlaer got down and ran to Aysten whom he gave a big tight hug. He had grown fond of Aysten before turning to Anira and breaking out in a grin and hugging her too. He looked at Herion with fondness for his apprentice and said "Hello Anira and Herion, and of course you too Aysten." He then took out the ring and gave it to Aysten to inspect with his mind to find the massive energy. "Hope it isn't too little." said Vlaer. Belgabad then brought forth his gift. A surprising spark of magic came for him when he was thinking for a present for Aysten and he ended up turning a tree into a diamond tree. He had lugged it with the strength of Belgabad I his grandsire's Eldunari in an invisible socket behind them. He now took it out and set it on the floor where Vlaer, with magic, made it root. Belgabad I, Belgabad's grandsire then introduced himself "Hello, apprentice of my grandson's Rider. Hello apprentice of my grandson. I am Belgabad, grandsire of Belgabad, dragon of Vlaer Shadeslayer, last of the High Old Ones." his massive ancient voice, even older than that of Vlaer or Belgabad's rumbled through all their minds. "And this is my gift." he concluded having Vlaer take out a set of leather armor enchanted by Vlaer through the words of Belgabad I and his energy to make it melt into Aysten's normal attire so that it could deflect anything as if he was wearing iron armor however, didn't cause him any extra weight or making him heat up.

Aysten accepted the gifts with graditude and then shrugged. "Well...i have been working on a painting for this past week....it is a present to all of us."He aysten said using magic to float a large fairth out into the clearing. It was one that featured them all together. "Its a family portrait...its been two years since i have felt like i really have a family. But now i have that feeling back so. Every family has a portrait so i made this one."He aysten said pointing at the large farth so that they could all see. It was large enough so that Heron and belgabad could fit into it which led them to take up most of the back ground. In the front stood aysten anira and vlaer. They had smiling expressions frozen on there faces. It was just as a good portrait should be.
"Wekk what do you think?"

Gasping at how magnificent it was Vlaer grasped his friend and said "It's great. And a happy birthday to you Aysten!" as Belgabad hummed happily and roared the day to all of Alageasia.

Syaoran stretched and then jumped gracefully down from the tree branch he was sitting. "Thank you, human," he said not sure of Aysten's name. He watched as the fairth was pulled out. "It's not bad, not a master's work though," he said. His tone hinted it was not said to be rude but was his opinion. Anyone who knew Syaoran would know he could be blunt in giving his opinions even when his opinion wasn't asked for. |

Staring at the werecat Vlaer walked over and said "I am honored to meet you werecat." as he inteoduced them all.

Syaoran was surprised Vlaer recognized who he was. He remained in human form the majority of the time and many mistook him for a human rather than a werecat. "Greetings rider," he said before he was introduced to the others. |

Unsurprised from the werecat's reactiong Vlaer, Belgabad II and belgaba I all said "We are old enough to recognize a werecat."

Syaoran nodded slightly. "Few recognize me for who I am," he said. "Most mistake me for a human as I'm rarely in feline form." He glanced at the party. Though he hadn't been invited he wondered if he should give some kind of gift. He thought of the bird pendent that hung around his neck, and subconsciously moved his hand to hold it tight. He couldn't ever give the pendent away, not if he wished to shapeshift. |

Smiling at the movement Vlaer sent his mind to the werecat's and as if a knock of approval said "Do not worry, you need not trouble yourself with a gift, for you were not prepared. Aysten will understand."

Syaoran's mind was closed, it almost always was guarded now a days. "Thank you," he said. He wasn't sure what he would've gotten had he been required to have a gift. |

Whispering ever so slitghtly so that only the werecat could hear Vlaer asked "Are you a old to the Fall? If so, were you in the war?"

Syaoran shook his head and responded in like tone. "No, I am not. The Fall was before my time by a few years," he said. |
