I'm a full time mother, & dragon companion. A part time dragonrider, adventurer, and archivist. The dragon in the archives, Geradan, and I have a special bond, like that of the dragons and riders of Pern. Geradan and I speak through a telepathic bond. Geradan and I met before we moved here to the FarScape Mansion. He's gruff most of the time but he really is wonderful (but don't tell him I said that, he hates it). And he makes a Great babysitter too. :) And let's not forget <A HREF="id326.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Pandora"><U>Pandora</U></A>, she's a hatchling fire-lizard. We're are also bonded telepathically though she has no language persay. She communicates in images mostly, and the swirling of her eye colors. She was/is a gift from the Benden Weyrleaders on Pern ("<A HREF="id198.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Ill Be DogGone"><U>I'll Be Dog-Gone</U></A>"). Because of my bond with Geradan I was somehow able to communicate with All of the dragons of Pern. I was not allowed to stay when a hatching began at Igen Weyr because of this. As an apology/going away present I was given a beautiful gold fire-lizard egg. Pandora was born on Fantasy Island.</div> <bR> <div> My mother would always say to me "...the best laid plans of Mice and Men...". I'm still not sure what she meant by that but I'm starting to get an idea. I have always tended to see myself as a swordswoman. (See second pic on right, this is how I see myself. lol, I'd be the one carrying the horned helmet.) Not a mercenary, honest pay for honest work. Sharpening my skills and creating a name for myself as I went. I'd use two swords at once, a longsword and a shortsword (this definitely takes practice, you don't want to be cutting your own arm off not knowing what you're doing). But I learned better in Kaldorre (<A HREF="id141.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Something Magic This Way Comes"><U>Something Magic This Way Comes</U></A>). I arrived fully armed and armored, and for the life of me I couldn't use my own weapons. Talk about depressing. I did find out however that I had the natural ability to talk to all of the natural fauna of that land. While there, a Lynx became Geradan's and my traveling companion and friend. Thanks to the Scoobs and Geradan I made it back to the FarScape Mansion with my skin intact. Someday perhaps I will learn to use those swords correctly but for now I'll just ride the air currents with Geradan and help as I can.</div> <bR> <div> If you can't find me I'm either in the archives or off on another adventure. :) But then again, I may be at the Fellip Nectar Stand or in our rooms at the Mansion resting with the kids.</div> <bR> <div> RL <A HREF="id19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="JilaCosa"><U>JilaCosa</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="21a5e5f0.jpg" border=0 width="94" height="95" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> </div> <bR> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=270 BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000"> <div> <B><IMG SRC="242e9ed0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="237" ALT="Tommy(tm), Chelsea(tm), and a friend of Barbie(tm) Photo by JilaCosa/Laurel" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG SRC="1abe9cd0.jpg" border=0 width="233" height="205" ALT="Found at the Unique Unicorn website" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></B></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
