Current I have finished THREE projects in the last two weeks. Where did all this motivation come from? The light bill.

I feel so accomplished! Just set the bar for largest custom crochet project I've taken since I began crocheting for profit 3 years ago. They didn't even bat an eye at my quote!!

Bio

I'm an almost-30-year old yarn artist. Mother of two sweet daughters. Wife of an amazing Hubs who basically lets me do whatever I want.

I crochet little things like the owl in my thumbnail, and big things too like four foot long bears with heart shaped feet. ^-^

I do commissions for crochet, just send me a pic or an idea and I will make it work.

The lotus flower drifted in through the open balcony door, and Symphony batted it down to the floor just as Ayrie stood to catch it.

"Oh come now, give it here." She said, reaching down and snatching it from beneath his paw. She listened to the message and giggled, feeling warmth spread through her at his words. 'He dreamed of me?'

Symphony snorted and curled up on the sofa, clearly not interested in going with her. 'Snoozefest. I don't need to see the two of you mooning at each other while you pretend you don't want to move too fast.' he said in his raspy, somewhat annoyed, mind voice.

"Grump. You can stay then." She said, then went to freshen up herself, putting the only slightly rumpled flower in a bowl of water on her dining table.

She put on a nice pair of flowy black pants that almost looked like a skirt, and a dark blue blouse that fit itself to her almost like a second layer of skin. The blue made her eyes pop, and her hair almost looked darker. She braided her hair over her shoulder and tied a blue ribbon into it, then slipped on some heels and made her way to Chan's.

Not long after she was at Asran's door, knocking and waiting with a bag of food and a bottle of wine. Remembering what Astoria had done, she had gone to the temple and asked for a bottle sealed with magic by one of his priests. She did not need him thinking she was up to something the first night he was home.
@Poppirious Krytavius's last post has a hider with a pic ^·^
Thanks everybody! I'm the proud papa of another baby girl! Born about 26 hours ago. 20 inches long and 8 lbs 12 ounces, for those who get curious about such things! Mom and baby are fine.


Good news!! That's a big girl! My oldest girl was 8 10 and 20". Soo much fun! Congrats again!
Ayrie slept peacefully that night, and most nights afterwards. Asran had taken off on a mission to rescue children from the mines, putting whatever relationship had been budding between them on hold. She didn't mind, much.

During the day she took confessions and gave final rights to prisoners, most of which were murderers and rapists, few were pedophiles as most of them weren't given the option to confess. She found that Symphony helped to maintain order during her meetings, but moreso it was her newfound confidence that kept the prisoners from threatening her.

She had moved to a nicer, but smaller, flat on the same street as the main temple, and they had converted the spare room into a practice room. Markus and Nadia had warded it themselves, and when inside no sound, magic or even thought could escape.

At night she trained with Symphony, Markus and Nadia, learning how to control her power. Symphony claimed she was well on her way to becoming the most powerful Light the world had yet to see, though she was too humble to agree with him. As far as defense she was becoming much harder to harm or catch, and offense was coming naturally to her, though she was reluctant to harm anything that wasn't directly harming her. Even Wrath had come to help once before she left, though she suspected it was more to let out a little frustration than it was to help her. She was in the middle of training when Symphony broke off the session abruptly.

'He's back.' was all the little Fennec had to say for Ayrie to shoot up and bolt out the door. How Symphony had known was beyond her, though he was friendly and even sometimes fatherly towards her, he was still very mysterious with the limits of his power.

She knew Asran wouldn't be able to see her any time soon, as there were likely thousands of things he needed to attend to after such a long absence. Nonetheless, she wanted him to see her waving from the sidelines as he passed. She let her power glow through her skin, just enough to give her a pretty aura, then picked a flower from her blooming lily and sent it towards him with the tiniest bit of power behind it.

'Send a message when you can meet.' Piped the tiny light wisp inside it. 'Would love to see you. No rush.'
I have to make a RL Mr. Fluff now. (>^·^)> Gimme!
The humans who live there are peaceful, the gryphons don't tolerate violence for violences sake. But they themselves can be extremely dangerous when they are protecting themselves or the border.

Also, you aren't paired with them like some magical bond between dragon and rider in an Eragon-esque novel.

The way it will go is you have trained for years in gryphonic care and fighting in order to be paired with a gryphon scout. Your bi ped is essentially a veterinarian with some fighting skill in case you get in a pickle.

The Gryphons are sentient, most of them have magic of either mind or node power, and they are autonomous. They're basically held above the other races because they are benevolent protectors by their own choice. Every race is treated equally, but Gryphons are almost revered by the populace as a whole. An outsider who harms a Gryphon would be considered an enemy of every law abiding citizen.

In the pairs the Gryphons fly, scout, and fight if need be. The biped takes care of the Gryphon's needs and does things like set up camp and cook food etc. They should be well versed in hand to hand combat and probably a bow or short sword, but they are not typically going to be the main fighter. Def not skilled enough to take out more than one or two dumb mercs or monsters alone in melee.
What would you like to know more about?

I'm heavily influenced by Mercedes Lackey, if you know of her. So in my mind there are two kinds of magic- mind magic and ley line or node magic. Mind magic can be any number of things that rely on power within the mind (mind speaking, firestarting, fetching etc). Mages rely on nodes of power within the physical realm. Bad dudes tend to use death and torture to feed their nodes, while good guys generally use what is available naturally.

For the races I typically don't have a limited set, although certain things like demons/angels/orcs don't really fit.
She heard the uncertainty in his voice and smiled. It was exactly the reaction she was hoping for, though she wouldn't have been upset had he... Nope. She wouldn't go there. They needed more time to get to know each other before she started getting her hopes up for that to happen.

She lay down on the massive bed and fell asleep very quickly, and this time there were no dreams of past lives or traumas. Just deep peaceful sleep.
"It's more than adequate. I'm no lady, used to living in grand castles or manors. Aside from the temples your home is probably the nicest building I've ever been in." Ayrie paused for a moment, and bit her lip in thought before standing on her tip toes and planting a kiss on his cheek.

"Goodnight. And thanks." She said with a smile, then turned towards the bed.
"That's even better than a couch. I'll call a cab and get out of your hair before you even know I'm here." She said, sensing his doubts about her staying the night. "I'm not one to try to overstay my welcome, usually. I'm just so tired."

She yawned again and waited for him to show her where to stay.
