*Upon closer inspection, though, one would find a Draik. He catches sight of you and flies down, landing and furling his wings upon his back, hie eyes a fiery emerald green. A small faerie looking quite similar follows close behind.*

You say you're looking for Philore... Did you say your name was chemicalpeach? Well, good news. You've found him. Come. Walk with me. *Bowing, he begins to walk off.*

My parents paid little attention to me and I very quickly developed a conceited, grumpy, and darker personality. When I met Tsugi, who was to become my best friend, I hit on her a lot. She actually showed me how to be kind and have fun. She had a love for pizza, but I got a taste for marshmallows

After our encounter, she showed me a place know as the Draik Clan, where there are many more like me. I was almost shy at first, but made quick friends with a young Orient named Yue. She was actually my first crush and we had many interesting times together. I remember giving her shiny things. She would stare at them for hours, and I do mean hours, while her older brother, Kura, would chide me for giving her such things. However, soon I met Tasmira and than Yue ended up leaving me to tend the door to heaven in China. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss her.

After Yue left I began to hear rumors that Tasmira fancied me, but was quite sure she had fallen for the Copper brute, Krashall. Finally, rather than stew, I ended up asking her about her feelings.

Oddly enough, Tasmira did fancy me! Needless to say, I was overjoyed, and we began dating. My feelings for Tasmira developed so fast, though, and I soon realized how much she meant to me. I wanted to do something remarkable so that she would know exactly how I felt.

After conversing with Yasa, Koarai, and a few others, I decided to surprise Tasmira on Valentine's Day. Everything was set and perfect. We would watch the sunset from a hill behind Yasa's dojo, than take a walk through the fire-fly filled trees and go out on a canoe to the middle of a lake. Than, I would propose to her. Well, things didn't go as planned, and as the sun set, I ended up asking her. She was quite overjoyed, and I remember Tasmira telling me she thought of us as married already.

On May 2nd, 2004, Tasmira and I were married in the Draik Clan. The 2nd of May is a very special day for the faerie folk, and Tasmira and I agreed the day would be very fitting. We went through a traditional faerie marriage known as hand-fasting where the married pair's hands are tied together. The ropes represent the different ideals for their marriage. Many of our friends and family showed up, and it was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Tasmira had ben acting funny, and I was most surprised to find out that on our wedding day, something other than our marriage had occured. Tasmira's stomach was very large, and I was quite conviced we were going to have a very large clutch.

It seems there was more than one surprise to be had, for around July, a little later than planned, Tasmira laid a single egg. It was a pearly white with her symbol upon it starting a golden color and ending in an indigo. However, not even the arrival of two bonded faeries alerted Tasmira and I to what lay in store for us.

On September 21st, 2004, our egg hatched and out came not one, but two little princesses! Tasmira and I were wordless. It seems that Tasmira and my realtionship has been nothing short of unpredictable. With these two, we now are raising a family of three, all girls. *Phi smirks, but makes no further comment.*

Aaraendoria or simply Aara is our Seelie Princess. She was born slightly after her twin and seems very energetic and friendly. We named her for her markings, smiliar to mine, with the Elvish word for 'Dawn'.

Aduialendoria or simply Aduial is our Unseelie Princess. Tasmira wories that she will be prone to more mischievious and dark things. We can tell by her attachment to her goblin. We have named her with the Elvish word 'Twilight'.

Leasily or simply Lea is Tasmira and my adopted child. We found her when we were scouting around Beltaine Castle and have adopted her into our family. She is a bit older than the twins and more energetic, but we love her just the same.
