A letter from a stranger arrives at your doorstep- + Within +, Congradulations on finding your Reliquiant. You have been given a most wonderful gift. As the new Guardian of Turquoise, I leave you with some information that might aid you in the exploration of your new responsibility, I wish you all the luck and joy. ~ Owner of the Restful Relic InnMythology- One of the most prized stones in Ancient Egypt, its name means delight. Hathor, the goddess of love, marriage dance, music, joy, and women, was called the Lady of Turquoise. The Apaches believed that it was a powerful talisman and healer. After a storm it was believed turquoise would be found in the damp earth at the point where the ranbow ended. As late as CE 1400, the Aztecs offered Queztalcoatl, the plumed serpent god of the sun, a death skull inlaid with hundred of small turquoise crystals.

 Introduction:
In the midst of all the chaos in my life, I've come across something extraordinary. I will get into that in a moment after I explain a little about myself and what is going on around me right now. My name is Within, it is a psuedo name of course because not only am I a magus...I am also half dragon. A little known fact among those that I associate with. There is one, my love, who knows my true nature as I know his. He is a Changeling. A Fae in the guise of a human man. Not that you cannot tell his heritage by the vibrant purple of his hair.
There is trouble now where I am from, guardians are being kidnapped, my love is one of those that is missing and to say the least this is a terrible time in my life. I had been captured as well, though through my inborn magic I was able to escape the clutches of darkness that would use me to their foul ends... I can only hope that my darling Lord will find his way home as well.
There is a mission that I am on, to save the man I love....as I stood at the edge of the marsh lands, fretting over what it was I could possibly do to find and bring back whole the love of my life and not only him now, but a very good friend of mine had been taken as well! Everything seems to be lost....but I will prevail, my pride as a Leo and that of a half dragon will not allow it to be any other way.
I felt something, a drawing there amidst all that was wrong for something that was 'right'. I knew that feeling, I had, had it once before though the sensation had lost it's grasp upon me and therefore I had lost it. But this time it was so close that I could not help but feel a spark of hope! Quickly I searched the marshy area, it was a dangerous path but I knew that the danger for myself was far less then the danger that threatened the one that it was looking for.
There! Finally having located the small blue and black lined stone while my companions looked at me warily, wondering what 'that weird magus' was up to now... A turquoise....no, more then that....It was a Relinquiant and I knew it's nature on sight. Holding the precious stone that held life within close to my chest while my heart beat at a frantic pace....This would have to wait until my love was returned to me....but through it all, I kept my new charge close, safe....protected....for it was as prescious to me as any of the other children that I have adopted along my travels.
(Some time later due to the fact that I know how that portion is going to end)
Finally, all was well and I was able to return to the Vale, my home. There was something odd that I found there, a letter addressed to me! It did not look any worse for wear due to any of the elements that it could have been exposed to in my absence....but then, maybe there was a little magic involved here.
Nazirqah is the name that I've chosen to call my stone...It has a meaning of course, it means, 'Equal'. I am not sure at this time why I would give a name with that meaning to my little girl, though the fact that she is so little and will most likely be little, her name is a strength which will hopefully give her greater confidence in the world that we live in.
Entering my home, I would take to reading the letter, another Mystic of some sort obviously had put pen to paper here, for how else could this owner of the Restful Relic know that I, upon my journeys so far from that place, found one of these prescious life bearing stones? Perhaps I will go there soon....there are means for me to teleport to the location of a place if I have a link to it...and this letter of course would be my key to traveling there. But for now, I need to get to know Nazirqah and she needs to get to know me....and, the rest of the family.

 The structure of our household is chaotic with dashes of peace and calm depending on whose room you are visiting. I have many children, all whom I dearly love and allow to roam as they need to but supervise as they must be. Some of them are children while other's are adults and have more freedom. But have no doubt that I do protect them all for all that I am worth.
Nazirqah for now shares my room, she is but a stone and will one day be a child. In my room there is peace and quiet as I am most often reading or working on my art. Though there are times when some of my children will come tumbling in to jump on my bed and make a ruckus. The only other in here nightly with us will be Lord Changeling.
Jadira is a lonesome sort of soul, she prefers to remain apart from the rest of the family, her room is located in a cave in the mountain that soars up over the south side of my home. Jadira does come into the house every so often, mostly to just sit in my room with me and discuss why it is that the Ashen are so rare and if she'll ever find another like herself worthy of her company. I think she is just a bit too proud for her own good, though she is my child and I love her. Perhaps when she grows up a bit more she'd come to realize that just because she's self sufficient doesn't mean that she has to do everything on her own.
Mia is a Sova, the self proclaimed Guardian of our household. She is very kind hearted and good to the other's within our family. She is a lot like myself in this manner, very protective of her 'tribe' as she calls it. She, like Jadira, loves the outdoors, she can most oft be found lounging in a hammock in the back yard. Or, practicing her skills in archery as she hunts for our meals. She is very distrustful of outsiders and I've had to 'save' a few visiting friends from the tip of her arrow on more then one occasion.
Myrna is a sweet little Tai'la that I had adopted a few weeks ago. From what I've seen of her she is very vivacious and an extremely giving soul. She loves nothing more then to make other people smile or even better, laugh. And if it comes down to it she would sacrafice herself in one of her loved one's need. Myrna is very special, she may be small but size is not the true measure of a good person. Myrna resides in the flower garden that curves around the east side of my abode, she shares this with two others, Autumn and Ashe, two other fae creatures that are children of mine.
Sing Sue is a Langui, and oh what a lazy thing she is! She can be found lounging in the parlor on a soft cushion or eating the most divine of feline delicasies that gold can buy. She is quite spoiled and fat but she is very loving when she decides to waken...or, when she wants more food.
Autumn is a Tomyu Fae, she's incredibly shy though lovely to look upon. Once I have a new photo of her I will be sure to put it up. She dwells within the gardens, sipping from the buttercups and chasing butterflies when the mood strikes her. Her closest companion is Ashe, though they are of the same species, they are very different from one another.
Ashe is another Tomyu Fae, he is snipish and even downright mean sometimes even if he shouldn't be. He has a temper, I blame his parentage for that, two very proud Tomyu goddess' that are currently resting and a growth spurt that he didn't want thrust him into adulthood too soon. So now he acts as he thinks he should, which really isn't how he should be acting at all. He is very protective of his older sister Autumn, seeing her as weaker for she is terribly shy.
Liberty is the first child that I had adopted, though she hadn't truly been one at the time. She was an adult but she really didn't act like one. Freespirited and hyper. She can sometimes bring the house down with her loud thumping music and dancing. I love her, but she IS a handful.
Ryu another FaeKat and the second one that I had adopted. He is quite and shy, he enjoys to read and write and spend a lot of alone time. He gets quite frustrated with his other Faekat kin, he is by far the most reserved of my children, preferring to sit down and listen to classical music as he's thumbing through his favorite book.
Zane is a teen Faekat that Ryu would most likely murder if he didn't have a tight control on his temper. He's a lot like his older sister Liberty, full of life and well, he does tend to be annoying on purpose, seeing how many buttons he can push before something or someone explodes on him. Hopefully as he grows up he'll get a little more .... grown up .... though he -is- a teen so what can we expect?
Dorry is quiet, aloof and very distant from the other's. It's not that he's a bad guy, it's just he prefers to be alone rather then in the company of others. He can be....snide at times, in an attempt I believe to drive other's away from him. He's not really close to anyone at this moment, he really does need to make some friends, even if it is that Meanki that I've seen him hanging around with.
Lynneaive is the youngest of my Faekats....and, she's a baddie. An ebil little thing that loves nothing more then to bite and scratch the regular Faekats that are an uneasy part of her family. She's just a baby now but her nature is very clear, she is and always will be a very bad little girl. But, she is my baby and I do love her, even with all of her troublesome behavior.
Darian is a demonic Dragonlin, while he is still a baby I am hoping to change his....demeanor a bit. Right now it's difficult enough to try and keep him from eating the faefolk! I can't imagine what it will be like if he's still like this as an adult. I need to figure out a way to make him less, dangerous....before it's too late.
Aelusa is a lovely little earth Dragolin that enjoys following me around everywhere. I think she believes that I really am her mother by the way she cries for me if she loses sight. She is just the most darling of Dragolins! I do hope that some of her sweetness rubs off on Darian soon.
Danae (picture to come soon) Is an Heirling, she's a bold little girl that tends to run off with her best friend Lucaus more often then I've really liked it. She is headstrong and very independant and I'm not sure if that's a good thing at her age. She doesn't seem to want to be mothered though at the same time I have a feeling that a mother is exactly what she needs.
Brooke (picture to come soon) Is a Konokai, a very shy and quiet unicorn girl. She follows me around a bit, it's almost as if the poor thing is afraid to be alone. She won't tell me what she's so afraid of, maybe it has something to do with where she's come from but for now I'll just have to pamper and dote on her enough to make up for all of which Danae doesn't seem to want at all.

 Tocaz- The first Relinquiant that she'd met, he was very rude to her, mean to be exact. But after a while he'd started to be nice to her and she really didn't understand that. It was like he didn't even realize that he'd been so mean to her just minutes before.
Valentine- She thinks she's very pretty though she would never admit it. Now she's jealous of her and that's another thing that she won't admit. She really doesn't know her all that well and frankly she doesn't know if she wants to know her after how defensive she'd gotten after she'd talked to her at the all girl party.
Toshiro- At first she'd thought that he was a maniac killer because he wouldn't let her heal someone that she'd come to believe that he'd hurt himself... But later on they had a talk and now she realizes that he was just trying to protect a friend, something that she can respect.
Cirru- She currently has a small girlhood crush on him, he is very strong and someone that she looks up to. He's also teaching her how to weild a katana which only makes her like him all the more. She has a lot of respect for him due to the fact that he's such a strong person physically and seemingly emotionally as well and doesn't allow the fact that he's missing an arm slow him down or make him give up.
Raife- Another one that she has one of her girlish crushes on, she really doesn't know him all that well but she feels that she has a lot in common with him. They both don't really feel like they belong and there is the fact that he took care of her for a little bit when she was 'poisoned' at the party that has caused no end of trouble for her social life.
Miori- Even though she's really not had a lot of time to spend getting to know her, Nazir likes her all the same, there's just something about her that appeals to the child, maybe it's her quick smile or the concern that she shows for other people.
Daikenkai- She's healed him, he doesn't talk to her and she doesn't talk to him. She doesn't really know him at all and well she doesn't think that he wants to change that fact so why fight it if it's what he wants?
More to be added I know redface

 4/14/05- You know, I forgot all about this section sweatdrop So much has happened that it would take sooooo long to type it all out so I'll just do the basics. Nazirqah is a teen, though in her childhood she has grown to believe that most of the other Reli's are on the insane side. She has a crush on both Cirru and Raife the latter she can stand toe to toe with now that she's a teen. She got a part in the production of the Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet, though in a part that she'd rather not be in and the one that she did want was given to another Reli named Valentine so there's a bit of a jealousy issue going on there. Of course she's been training hard, the little warrior, guardian to all wanna be is doing her best to make sure that she's as strong, quick and agile as she possibly can be. She got drunk off some spiked punch which of course made it so her guardian wouldn't allow her around the other Reli's for a while. She glued a pink bow to LC's head after he'd almost knocked her off his head and of course, there was the little spat with Toshiro over her wanting to heal Dai. That was a while ago though and she's come to terms with it. So much for making this short and I know I'm missing stuff... Oh yes, and she doesn't care for Blazen because he's thinking that she's some delicate thing when she's not.... she really doesn't like being treated like she's made of glass *lol*
1/22/04- After my shock of last night, I've finally been gifted with the evolution of Nazirqah... She is, beyond words, beautiful and her demeanor, it seems so staunch and serious! Even for a little girl! Ah well, now is the time that I get to know my new ward in even more detail then before, because now, she can talk back... and hopefully it won't be in a negative way like some children. xp Now that I've gone and worn myself out with that last test and all the research that I've done. Both Nazirqah and I are going on a little outing that will be good for the both of us I hope. Of course, this is another test to see her reaction to various temperate zones and so, we're going through a simple walk through the garden, a very special garden that belongs to a Druid named Dulain.
Dulain's Tower is a very special place that I come to, when I have the need of various herbs and plants that cannot be found save for in different regions far far away from where I am though access to this place is not so simple. See, Dulain died serveral centuries ago and it is not wise to visit this place unless you are a welcome soul with only good intentions in mind.
The tower and the walls are chisled out of a smooth white marble that is so pure it glistens in the light of the sun. Decorations carved into the stone have been set with jewels to make it look, extraordinary beyond words. Thieves had in the past, made the mistake of trying to deface the revered sanctum for healers and magicians alike. They have not lived to tell the tale, though the guardian of the grounds had.
There were three stairs that led to the grand set of ivy covered doors that were the entrance...kneeling there I said the customary prayer for Dulain's soul and reached out with my heart so my intentions could be felt...a soft wind rustled through us, touching Nazirqah as well before the doors would slowly open to allow us within the place where the body of Dulain rested in eternal sleep.
The first stop was the pond, where I would have a quick conversation with the Water Elemental which guarded this section of the garden... She had never given me a name, though she knew me on sight so it was not a problem to receive her approval to go with Nazir through the various gardens held within the walls.
It is likened to, stepping into different parts of the world when you enter one of her many gardens. The first I had taken her to was the desert, while there wasn't much growth there, it was....well, a place that should get a reaction from Nazir.
Next, I took her to a snow capped mountain, it looked as if it had been just cut from the top of the mountain and now rested there within the garden, chilly with a biting wind yet things still grew here. Snow lilies being the most common.
I had wanted to wait for this one, but in my excitement I just....couldn't. I smiled as I took her into the rainforest, much like the lands where the turquoise is revered. So deep and green it was! The scent of tropical blooms and foilage abounded and overwhelmed for the rain that fell here nearly constantly.
The Temperate forest is where I took her next, walking through a wood that was mild in temperature with a gentle wind. This was quite a bit like home actually though here there was a light drizzle going on so there was the hinting of a rainbow arcing in the clouds overhead.
The underdark, yes, she does have a carved out cavern that holds all the myterious, eerie plants that can be found within the depths of the deep, only difference is, we do not need to worry about any of those horrid creatures popping out at us in this santuary.
I will take her back to the place that she liked the most and then contemplate over the reactions to each of the areas that we had explored.
While we're on a roll I thought that I'd run another test, this one is the times of day in certain locations. I've taken Nazirqah to these places before though this time I'm paying more attention and making sure that it's during certain times.
This has obviously taken a while to complete with so many different locations at so many different times, I'll just have to rest up now after this excursion, I know Nazir will probably need the rest as well after such a long and ardous journey.
Another test needs to be run, so I've decided to take out Nazirqah so she could listen to some of the different melodies that could be heard about the vale. Below is a list of those that I was able to allow her to hear within the vale, there were other's that I had to take her to my....world to listen too...
Well, that was interesting, thing I'm going to take Nazirqah with me to woods now to pick apples for a pie that I plan I having for dessert after dinner. Just going to try to get that country music off my mind, it brings me a lot of bad memories....
Saturday November 6, 2004
Well, it seems to me that the results are not coming as easily as I had first thought that they would. So instead of being idle I've decided to allow the results of the test to wait and I would take Nazirqah for a walk around our home today.
There were so many places that I had to go, to check on things because of the recent threat that was upon us. First I had to go to the swamp, it was where I had found Nazirqah in the first place, the sun was high because it was noon and yet the air was crisp with the coming of winter, one could smell it on the wind that rustled through the reeds and rushes.
There was a hint of the wild magic still here, it was something that we would have to do our best to contain over time, it couldn't be erradicated over night after all, not safely. The creatures of the isle were magically based and if we would lay a blanket of disspell I'm afraid that many of the inhabitants would die....so we needed to find another way to free the area of the dangerous magics.
I made a visit to the wood, where fruit literally bulged on branches, ready for harvesting....the laughter of children running through the orchards and splashing through the chilly water of the streams and brookes was something that brought a smile to my lips...this was a favored place to play on the isle, very safe even if it was the woods, there were no dark creatures here, they wouldn't dare for the guardian that watched over these particular woods....
Across the open field I'd tred...looking at the long, dried grasses that swayed in the wind, everything was going to be going to sleep for the winter now....the flowers opening their petals lazily as bees nestled in to get the last of the nectar and pollen rubbed upon their hind legs... a few land nesting birds made their calls and pretended to be wounded as I'd step too close to their nest...so, I'd walk towards them to keep the babies born late safe as I'd make my way to the sea....the water's rushing up in waves on the beach.
Standing there for a while I'd look down at the stone, I'd held her up at each of the locations to see how she'd liked it....if she liked any of it at all or would give me a response I suppose it will come to me later, these things are mysterious, the answers dawning on me later in dreams....
Looking now down upon the valley, I'd flown to the top of the highest mountain on the isle and I could see the whole of my tiny homeland there below me...the good and the bad...a small frown on my lips as the winds would try to push and shove at me....so high I was, Nazir still with me, observing the land as I was possibly.
October 20, 2004. Wednesday 1:44am
I was not a good time for me. I suppose I got a little too close to something foul in the swamps on our little adventure. Fever of some form had over taken me and I could not communicate with my pets or my lover. He bathed my brow with a cool cloth and all of my pets came close to me, wondering if this illness would take me from them for good. But no, I had started to feel better, the fever broke and this hellish coughing has finally calmed some. It was then that I noticed that I still held Nazirqah within the palm of my hand, that was until the entire bed was filled with all manner of pets that were so grateful to see that I was alive and well, as well as a certain Changeling that has come to love me dear.
So, now that I am well....though I must admit to myself there's still a weakness in my limbs that was not there before. A weariness that seems to rear up on me far too quickly, I know that my care and attention was needed for all my lovely wards. I took Nazirqah along with me, introducing her to the rest of the family.
October 8, 2004. Friday 2am
"Hmm, " Within hummed softly over the stone as she was finished with the test...jotting down the stone's reaction to each color before she'd set the stone upon an open window sill to catch the light of the moon as she'd work to figure out what the meanings of these results could be.
Sitting down in a chair behind her desk she'd open a book on "Colors, and their meanings" she was unsure if this was the route to go, but it did make some sense to her that you could get a lot about a person's personality by what colors they liked more.
September 28, 2004. Tuesday, 5:22am
Well, I have not been able to sleep, it seems as if some form of illness has over taken me. Yet I find myself compelled just before I lie down and try to get some rest to run a little test on my Relinquaint Nazirqah. I've decided to go with something simplistic at first. I want to try and determine what her favored colors are. Maybe it's a bit foolish of me to do such a mundane test, but I do believe that colors tell quite a lot about a beings demeanor. And so, I set down my handkerchief at first it would be white and then I would use a minor cantrip to change the color to another hue. These were the colors tested.
September 26th, 2004. Sunday, 9:00pm EST
I could not call my trip to the Restful Relic a complete disappointment. While there were no other guardians there I did find that it was a lovely place to relax with all the beauty of the gardens and that wonderful waterfall and it's colorful fishes swimming about. And the library held tomes of which I perused through, finding out some interesting information on Relinquiants. It seems that I need to run some tests to decifer what sort of Relinquiant I have here in my hand right now. But I will save the first test for tomorrow, right now I am weary as I am sure my new little child probably is as well...
::After writing in her journal with a feathered quill, Within would take the Turquoise with her up to her room, change for bed and sleep there with the stone in her hand, held against the rhythmic beat of her heart::
September 26th, 2004. Sunday, 8:15pm EST
I have decided to go to the Restful Relic. I do not know if I will find anyone there that can help me figure out how to proceed with my Relinquiant. But, it is worth a shot. This is all very new to me and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm going to need some help with this. I know there's something, a presence....a female one at that within this little Turquoise stone that I have named Nazirqah. But I will need to do some research about the others that have been blessed by such a gift.
Sunday, September 26th, Midnight EST. This is the moment that I had first found my little Nazirqah in the marshlands. Hopefully I will be able to introduce her to the rest of the family without too much of an 'event' happening over it.

 The Vale is in essence the land surrounding our home. We live on an isle and I will have a much larger description of it up here eventually but for now, the Vale is like that of something you would read in a fairy story, looking much like Ireland since it's so green and well, misty. *L* it is also encompassed on three sides by huge mountains, hence the name, The Vale.

 Seeing that Nazir is a warrior at heart, toys and weapons will go into the same catagory because they both provide entertainment for her. Now while she may own a plethora of weapons in the future, that won't mean that she will know how to use them. Just that she has them and would like to learn how to weild them. But like with everything, it will take time.There you have a toy!!! gonk
But, it's not lethal....
Naz Plushies!
Me with Nazir 4laugh

 I believe as I start to get her pets and items that are not toys or weapons I'll start to put them in here, but for now and with my lack of gold there won't be anything, unless of course I make her one of the pets from a shop I own.

 Read the following at your own risk. I can get really long winded at times and maybe just maybe I put a tad too much thought into things >w< This is basically the research that was done on the results of all the tests that had been run on Nazir while she was a stone.Test #5 Every impression, I could feel....her likes, dislikes....what she hated and what she loved. The connection between Nazirqah and I is getting stronger by the day. When I felt that she loved me, my heart swelled with joy for I loved her too. She is like a child to me, my child, my sweet Nazirqah. There is much I already know about you, even though you have not evolved. From all the tests that I have run I've come to the conclusion that you are a very spiritual girl. The colors that she'd liked and loved told me that she was a proud, passionate being, with the heart of a warrior. In my mind I picture an amazon warrior standing side by side with Mia, even if Nazirqah will be much small she would be just as brave as any other warrior woman. An amazon I feel, no, I see it. Tall, muscular with long hair pinned back from her face so she can keep her watchful eyes clear. She will be fiercely protective of those that she loves...those that she believes to be weaker then herself. Even if she seems to have some flaws, her dislike of naitivity and other headstrong beings being one of them. She has little room for excuses for mistakes in her demeanor. Her Pride could be a flaw as well. For it may make her look down on other's. She holds herself in high regard as she does some of the family, myself included. Through the garden, the tower of Dulain I felt so much from her! It was amazing! I could almost hear her strong voice in my ear, I could image it. Ah, I can also image how easily her heart could be broken for she seems to look past another's flaws just for the fact that they are male. Proven when she loved Bastian and I know better, he's manipulative and he would use her to his own advantage if I wasn't watching out for her. She doesn't like cold but she loves the rain, she loves our home... She feels strongly for something more often then being disinterested. She's inquistive, curious and bold. Ah, my little daughter to be! Then, as we had exited the last of the gardens, through all the different climates of the world what a shock it was for me to see that she was pulsing. Gasping as I held to her, going to my knees. Nazirqah was changing, she was coming and I was so thrilled that I forgot for a moment where we were and what we were doing when the light within her started to shine, beckoning and gaining my full attention.Test #4
A tally before I begin my analysis.
Places loved- Gambino at Dawn, Mountains at Noon, Outside the home at noon, Gambino at Dusk, Outside the home at Dusk. Mountains at Midnight, Barton at Midnight.
Places liked- Mountains at Dawn, Forest at Dawn, Fields at Dawn, Barton at Dawn, Outside the home at Dawn. Forest at Noon, Lake at Noon, Fields at Noon, Barton at Noon, Gambino at Noon. Mountains at Dusk, Lake at Dusk, Ocean at dusk, Durem at Dusk, Ocean at Midnight, Fields at Midnight, Gambino at Midnight, Durem at Midnight, Outside the home at Midnight.
Places disliked- Lake at Dawn, Ocean at Dawn, Ocean at Noon, Swamp at Noon, Durem at Noon, Forest at Dusk, Fields at Dusk, Barton at Dusk, Forest at Midnight, Lake at Midnight.
Places hated- Swamp at Dawn, Durem at Dawn, Swamp at Midnight.
Now for a tally of each place and her reaction, simply for my own benefit and deeper research.
Mountains
Loved twice
Liked twice
Disliked not at all.
Hated not at all.
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: She seems to like places high up, maybe she will have wings or she prefers a high vantage point to scout from?
Forest
Loved Not at all
Liked twice
Disliked twice
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: Both times it was in the dark, perhaps she is wary of the wood at this time?
Lake
Loved not at all
Liked twice
Disliked twice
Hated not at all.
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: I don't believe she cares much for water, though she didn't hate the lake she didn't seem particularily interested in it either save for at certain times of the day. Perhaps she is more aclimated to air?
Ocean
Loved not at all
Liked twice
Disliked twice
Hated not at all
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: Results were much like that for the lake, while Nazir did not show outright hatred it did not seem to be one of her favored places, it's curious that she would have the same reaction to both water types, I wonder how she will react to water that is not stable, say a waterfall? Ah, not enough time today to check this and the point is probably moot.
Swamp
Loved Not at all
Liked Not at all
Disliked once
Hated thrice
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: I was certain that she would not care for the swamp for that was where I'd found the poor thing half buried in the mud. I'm wondering if something happened to her there besides being lost? Ah, if only I had found her sooner and the wild magic wasn't as rampant in the area I may have been able to cast a spell to see what was the past of Nazirqah before she'd come to me. Yet, with the wild magics it could be dangerous casting anything to find out how and what had happened to bring her to a place that she seems to despise.
Fields
Loved Not at all
Liked thrice
Disliked once
Hated not at all
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: I believe that she liked the fields simply for the fact that it was open and easy to see in all directions, the only time that she didn't like it was when it was dusk, when it became a little unclear to the eye and the shadows moved in mystery. I do believe she has the spirit of the warrior now, more then ever. Perhaps she feels at a disadvantage during that time and in that place?
Barton
Loved once
Liked twice
Disliked once
Hated not at all
Gambino
Loved twice
Liked twice
Disliked not at all
Hated not at all
Durem
Loved not at all
Liked twice
Disliked once
Hated once
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: I've decided to wait until I've processed all the information on the towns until I was finished with her reactions to each one instead of going through them one at a time as I should have with the bodies of water. While I believe she doesn't mind the social scene, something I believe each town represents for all the people that we had contact with I also believe that she prefers the life of the country person. With some exceptions of course, I really am a bit clueless on her reactions, this is something I'm going to have to concider for a while. Perhaps it is my own dislike of the town scene that is muddling my views?
Outside the home
Loved twice
Liked twice
Disliked not at all
Hated not at all
Note scribbled in the margin of my research book: Well it is good to know that she doesn't find anything wrong with her new home, I was quite pleased with her reactions. It would have made life here uncomfortable for her if she did not like at least where she was going to live. Though I see her frolicking over the mountains or perhaps through the air when she is grown. Something to be seen after I've figured out the way to bring the spirit within forth.
Test #3
Well, the reason she hated the fae songs is probably because they're just to whimsical, like nature itself. There isn't anything steady about it, even if there are rocks, they still wear down to pebbles over time, changing constantly. I don't think she cares for change much.
I had a feeling, that even if she hated Jadira she'd appreciate her singing, and I was right! I think it had to do with the fact that it was about love and it was sad. Every now and then we like to sigh over a sad song. She's a feeling little Relinquaint I'm sure of it.
She just loved the war songs, she seems to be a warrior spirit after all. I smiled as we passed by Mia and her singing, the Sova grinned back at me, winking at the small turquoise stone in my hand.
Nazirqah is a romantic at heart, even if she loves the drums of war, she has a special place for romance in her heart and I believe that she will be a very loving and compassionate person, if not a bit critical of others but not to the point of being a nag about it.
I don't think she likes the past that much, or well as far back in the past as classical goes. I think she likes to hear voices along with the instruments, perhaps if someone had been singing in like an opera she would have liked it more.
She disliked the popular music, which makes me believe that she's not one to follow the crowd but her heart instead. She's sure of herself and knows what she likes and doesn't just bow to it just because of what everyone else says is 'popular'.
And just like with the popular, though I hate country music she seemed to like it. She didn't let my own dislike of something skew her view on what she was hearing. She's her own little person and she will probably have a very strong sense of self and a powerful personality.
Ah, she liked the 70's music, I'm thinking that she may be a bit on the rebellious side! There's just something about that music that makes a person think of freedom, though it makes me reminesce about my childhood days.
She liked the 80's music which was surprising and then it really shouldn't have been. There's a lot of songs about love during that era and she seems to have a yearning for that in her soul.
AHHHH! She is going to be like me! Well, sort of....I love heavy metal and I have a feeling that she's going to be a very active physically, mentally and spiritually Relinquaint. I hope everyone is ready for her when she finally bursts out in her child form. She's going to be a wild, boy crazy and kick your arse if you deserve it kind of Relinquaint.... ho boy. sweatdrop
Test #2
I've finally been able to figure out what all of that meant, or...at least I think I have...My previous test on Nazirqah and her reaction to all the other's within my home.... I -believe- there are some very interesting traits that she's developed even as a stone.
With Liberty I think she enjoyed the lively way she took on her activitivities. The boundless energy and her ability to love nearly everyone. Liberty while she can seem spastic at times is a really reliable caretaker and perhaps Nazirqah respects that about her.
Ryu, while laid back and the exact opposite of his older sister, I was surprised that she liked him as well. I didn't realize why until later after reviewing all of the others and those that she liked or disliked.... I think, she may be a bit on the boy crazy side. She's just a stone I know! But, she liked or loved all of the males that I had brought her to.
Bastian, this was completely a shock to me. Of course he is a charming Kat and can win most with his dashing smile, I thought that Nazirqah would not be effected by this. I suppose I was wrong for she had reacted the strongest towards him! She loved him in fact! Manipulative and charming... a total shock to me...then again, he is a male and maybe that is the reason behind it.
Nybraxis, I was expecting this reaction for Bastian as well but there was no surprise when she disliked Ny. There aren't many that care for her, in fact some downright hate her! I'll have to remember to keep them away from one another as much as possible even though she didn't respond violently to the stone when I had introduced him, one never knows what Ny may do next.
Jadira, I was surprised that I had gotten the same reaction for her that I had gotten for Ny. I mean, Jadira isn't bad she's just....then it hit me, maybe Nazir doesn't like the loner types. It's something to think about, perhaps Nazirqah is going to be a highly social Relinquiant.
Autumn, she hated her, hated her so much that I nearly took a step back. I could not fathom why. Autumn is sweet and kind if not a bit on the naive side. Perhaps that is what it is? She respects wisdom and frowns upon foolishness?
Ashe, after my encounter with Nazirqah and her introduction with Autumn I was a bit wary to have her meet Ashe, to my shock and now it's almost a pattern since I've looked back on it....She liked him and again I'm thinking that it's just because he's a boy!
Mia, there are a lot of things to like about Mia and frankly I was expecting her to like Jadira the same. Maybe I had put too much into the mythology of the turquoise stone but there is just something that makes me think that my little Nazir is going to be of the warrior sort. When it was that she liked Mia and didn't like Jadira that's when I came up with the distinct difference between the two, Mia doesn't shun the rest of the family as Jadira does, perhaps...Nazirqah has a strong sense of family as well?
Myrna, I hadn't expected her to dislike Myrna I was in truth a little disappointed that she did. But I tried to hide it as best as I could. Sometimes those that we favor are not favored by those we favor...if that makes any sense at all, though it does to me and I suppose that is all that matters.
Danae, oh she hated her! I was shocked for Danae is just a child but then after mulling it over I believe she hated her reckless nature more then anything. Just as she hated the naive nature of Aumtumn. It all ties in I just have to figure out exactly how. That will come to me soon enough.
Brooke, I had thought that she wouldn't like Brooke, but then she loved her! Now this is what tied everything together for me, everything finally fitting into place and becoming clear.
Nazir, simply from her reactions to the others, I have determined what could be her possible personality and what traits she may have.
She's very loving and open, even more so with the men.
She does not like the unwise, not at all. She respects though know what they want and how to get it.
She respects the protective warrior and may strive to be one herself.
She does not care for the artistic, she may find it a frivilous thing and unneeded.
Lastly I believe that Nazirqah would adore becoming a healer, her love for Brooke, so strong and her not being male, yes I definately believe that Nazirqah will be one that would want to take care of other's when they are not well...
Test #1
So far as I can tell from the test results, the stones love for red and pink would hint that she may be a very passionate little Relinquaint. The red and pink combined with some of the other colors that she liked could mean that the passion likes in protection and spritual wisdom, the love of Black was a comfort because I knew that Black, though a dark color, in reality is a powerful tool against negative energy.
Her love for Yellow and Orange further lead me to believe that she is a very headstrong creature. She tends towards the colors of power and psychic/spiritual energy without fail. It looks like she may enjoy travelling, maybe I will have that in my next test, to see how that fairs.
Her love for Silver....the color of the Goddess, further inciting me to believe that this will be a very proud Relinquiant when she is born. Her dislike for Gold leads me to believe that she is, erm...well it is the color of God and therefore, if you compare God to Goddess...Man to Woman, she is most likely going to be a feminist. *Within giggles a bit as she writes this part down.*
Light Blue and purple give me the impression that she may be interested on top of all the desire for power of mind and body, she may want to be able to heal it too. So, even if she is seeming to come off as a female that will go to great lengths to get what she wants, she also has heart, and wants to help others.
As I read back on my findings, I cannot help but wonder if my little Nazirqah will be like an Amazon warrior, strong, chaste, independant. Though at the same time holding a passion for her pursuits. Obviously further tests are needed. I will also need to double check my findings here to make certain that I haven't missed anything Though now I grow weary.... *she rises from the seat, going over to take Nazirqah from the sill to sleep with the stone held against the beat of her heart.*

 The Catalyst
It should have been as clear as a bright and shining noon day to me, what it was that would make my little girl Nazirqah emerge! Though like all things that are to be worked for and gained through trials and great effort, it was not so simple as to will the little one within to come to life and bless me with her presence. Oh no, she was a stubborn one, my little Nazirqah. But very much worth the wait.
It was after I had visited the tower of Dulain and taken her to the many different temperate zones that I had come to the conclusion, as my stone had started to pulse, that the key that I was looking for was in the very letter that I had gotten the day that I had found Nazir in the marshlands of the Vale.
Stone still pulsing as I tore through my home, it is not the best kempt home in the lands I know, but I'm a mage and well, things come to me when I need to find them... and there it was, under the stack of research notes that I'd written up on Nazir....A letter from a stranger arrives at your doorstep-
+ Within +,
Congradulations on finding your Reliquiant. You have been given a most wonderful gift. As the new Guardian of Turquoise, I leave you with some information that might aid you in the exploration of your new responsibility, I wish you all the luck and joy.
~Owner of the Restful Relic Inn
Mythology- One of the most prized stones in Ancient Egypt, its name means delight. Hathor, the goddess of love, marriage dance, music, joy, and women, was called the Lady of Turquoise. The Apaches believed that it was a powerful talisman and healer. After a storm it was believed turquoise would be found in the damp earth at the point where the ranbow ended. As late as CE 1400, the Aztecs offered Queztalcoatl, the plumed serpent god of the sun, a death skull inlaid with hundred of small turquoise crystals. The end of the rainbow... rain... it was so obvious and yet so strange! I'd managed to start something here, and now it was time to finish it... or was it merely the beginning? Who knew, but the end of the rainbow was waiting for us, and just as grand as Queztalcoatl Nazirqah rose from her stone, looking as if she could take me down, even if she wasn't even four inches tall!
