A warm summer breeze brushes past your face. The beautiful sky settles in a gentle way. There is a glint high up in the clouds and you squint to see it. The form grows. It seems to be a lonely pteri, you think; but it gets bigger and bigger until you can see its graceful form, a draik! The wings arch high as it is almost upon you. Its scales are blue as cobalt and its mane is royal plum. What is most astonishing is its chest and belly, plated in pure silver.
It lands and you can tell now that it is female, though you are not sure why. She looks away as though she didn't notice you there staring, but then she swings around her head around only two feet from your face. Here eyes are big and her face is gentle. It is quite apparent that she is only a baby.
Good-day, guest. Fanta told me you were coming," She sparks. You give her a puzzling look. "Yes, she is getting quite different in her old age, starting to see things before they happen. Her body stays young, but her mind grows old some days, she tells me. Did you come to ask about me?"
You don't say anything and she seems to assume you meant to say yes.
Well, I was born not all that long ago. But don't hold that against me! I've read as many books as I can get a hold of. In-fact, if you know of any good affordable books I could read, let me know what they are! I cant get enough of books. Anyway, silvermoon_fox named me Selu. Selu means the art of magic in the old elven language, she told me. I'm currently being raised by my aunties: Fanta254, Fang238, and Shaeniire.
My Family
Fanta
Fanta is like my mother. She is the oldest of any of us. She is my auntie and takes care of me the most. She finds me books to read and defends me from enemies. Some people say she is one of the few that wont ever die. Thats good because I heard draiks have long life-spans and I don't want her to ever leave me. She has also taught me about magic. I cant do the healing magic she can do, but I can certainly can do some fun stuff.
Fang
Fanghas been looking after me when strange neopets come to Fanta's valley who may be dangerous. Fang and Fanta have been careful to hide me from others, though they obviously weren't too worried about you. She lives up in the isolated mountain tops. There isn't another neopet for a hundred miles. Fang can fly. She has been teaching me. Fanta can fly too, but she doesn't do it with wings like fang does. Every evening, Fang takes me out to glide along on thermal pockets in the air. Neopia is beautiful from up there...
Shaeniire
Shaeniire is the youngest, other than me. She is the daughter of Fanta. She lives in the sea. She does magic too, but its quite a bit different than Fanta's. She has been teaching me how to communicate with the sea creatures. We have lots of fun together. I'm the only one that can hold my breath longer than just a couple minutes. I can hold it 24 minutes to be exact. That way Shaeniire and I can play in the ocean all the time. When we get tired, we go sun ourselves on the rocks about a mile offshore of mystery island.
Valahrien
Valahrien lives far away from me and Fang. She lives in the desert. Fanta and Fang rarely go see her as their coats are too heavy for the heat. On occasions, she comes to Fanta's valley bearing rare gifts and such. The last time I saw her she had six petpets! I've never seen anyone else with more than one, but I guess it gets lonely out there in the desert. She brings me such wonderful exotic chocolates. I can't wait to see her again!
Attikava
Attikava is a mercenary. A lot of strange things have happened to him *shiver*. He was originally a rockstar Aisha. Have you seen many boy aishas? I thought not. He had so many fans. But then the war started and Attikava was determined to become a war hero. He visited the labray every day and steadily became stronger. He changes species several times. Every time a war would end, another would begin. When the labray turned him into a bruce, attikava knew his new species was not effective on the battlefield, so he bought a transmogrification potion to become a powerful lupe. I've only seen him twice, but Valahrien sees him fairly often and tells me tails of his adventures.
Mazziraa
Mazziraa is my newest family member. Shaeniire became great friends with her during the massive poison potion that ruined the sea bed beside mystery island. Fanta made Shaeniire a healing potion to make her and the other sea pets better again. Mazziraa worked with Fanta and Shaeniire to making the water pure again. Since that day, Mazziraa vowed to keep all 7 seas clean from pollutants. In remembrance of her task, she wears 7 light gold ribbons. I wish I got to see her more. She lives deeper in the ocean than Shaeniire does. Fanta has welcomed her into the family with open arms. She is currently working to make her pond be much deeper and splendid so that Shaeniire and Mazziraa can visit her healing spring whenever they want.
