After being escorted inside, you look about yourself at the inside of the purple cottage. Its quite homey and neat. On the bookshelves, you can see, amid the novels, small pillows presumably where some of the elven woman's minidragons choose to sleep. Sitting on a purple cushion on a thick volume are several minis all seated on a pillow together.
~Hello there!~ A mutant mini says. ~My name is Garcia...a give-thanks mini who was given as a gift to Karma for judging a contest. Beside me are my dear friends Weather Lemmy, Creator Katherine, Gray Denbrough, and Scholar Iaenni~
~And don't forget us!!!~ a voice pipes up. You look and see a female magick, a female peacekeeper, and a male shipwright mini alight daintily amongst the group. ~Hiya! We were part of Karma's prize package for the millenium contest!~ the magick says. ~I'm Kamek, the peacekeeper there is Justice, and the shipwright is Saltie!~
~These are the newest additions. Tan male Iggy, Teal female Felina, Purple female Violetta, and Shipwright male, Seawolf.~ Garcie adds after being so rudely interrupted by the rowdy contest trio. You nod once and turn away to face Karma who is standing before you.
This is my home." she tells you. "Not very fancy, but it works for me. I like it better, in fact, than having to maintain a large house. Its hard enough keeping up with the few rooms here!" she adds with a chuckle.
~Speaking of which, you haven't changed my water today!~ a voice calls. You look about yourself, your eyes finally falling on a large tank of water. You take a step closer, eyes dazzled by the colorful plants and tropical fish that dart to and fro. ~Over here...by the rocks.~ the voice says again. You direct your attention to a clump of rocks, seeing a beautiful azure serpentine creature loop toward you, a black creature radiating a blue aura following close behind. ~Hello...my name is Aroree and this is my friend Minx, an electric dragon.~ the creature greets you.
"Yes...she's a rainbow dragon from the merdragon sands and simply insisted on an indoor home. Minx came to us from Obleo and Seraphin's first clutch." Karma smiles. ~The filter in the pond outside would scratch our scales.~ the dragon explains.
~Ohhh, I'm sure it wouldn't! a beautifully musical voice chuckles as a trio of multi-colored dragons flutter gracefully into view. ~Hello..my name is Myers.~ one smiles. ~I'm a male citadel rainbow dragon, won in a "How well do you know the isle?" contest that Karma tied in first place for. I'm liking my new home! The female fen rainbow is Morninglight, and the other male citadel rainbow is Skywise. They were prizes in the millenium contest.~ he declares. The three of them bow before gliding off.

"My name is Latika Shichi." the small equine informs you. "It means 'tiny flame'." to punctuate this, Latika tosses her head back and the entire room seems warmer as the tiny jewel embedded in her body glows and with a crackling pop, a small area of the sod comes ablaze before her. "Not bad, eh?" she chuckles. "Its a power of carnelian jueru ko. To create and handle fire."
You decide to leave the jueru kodomo to its business as you turn to investigate the rest of Karma's vast cabin |
A shrill whinney interrupts and Karma whirls around to see a horse as dark as night poke its head through the window and begin to nibble at an apple that's in a fruit bowl by the window. "Oh, Daredevil! You know you're not supposed to be in there!" she scolds. The horse regards her coolly before snatching the apple up in its velvety lips and withdrawing again. "That would be Daredevil." she explains to you. "He's my latest horse bond and I tell you, Stallions are the boldest creatures I've ever met!" A general titter goes up from around the cabin as she folds her arms and looks indignant.
~HAPPY NEW YEAR!!~ a white dragon with green accents declares as it tosses a cloud of colorful confetti into the air from nowhere. ~New Year's over, Era.~ a colorful dragon beside him chides. ~Hello, my name is Seclusion.~ she greets you. ~You will have to pardon Era here...he gets a bit too excited sometimes. And this mini right here is Riff Raff, a time mini. He's a bit too obsessed with some movie called "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" but he's okay! Lastly is a champagne mini who was Karma's own entry into the contest. We are proud to say he took first place as an overall entry! The rest of us were winter gifts to Karma from her dear friends Crispin, LadyWizard and Chelsea.
Ah, and lastly for the mini family are a pair of twins. This lovely couple's name is Hip and Hop. They are both males and he one you see on the left is a future mini while the one on the right is a past mini. ~Yes...and amazingly, we get along splendidly!~ Hip tells you. ~Yes...even though while we were in the egg still, you wouldn't stop kicking me. At least I'M not sterile.~ Hop mutters. The two proceed to bicker a bit.
Beside the tank where you saw Aroree and Minx, you see a blur of color and then a splash of warm water sprays across your shirt. You blink, bewildered, as a gorgeously-colored merdragon blinks slowly at you. "That's Amista, a female dawn merdragon." Karma explains. "This dragon has the power to restart things that have already begun, though its quite a draining skill and therefore it can't do it very often. Why, just yesterday she sent me back an hour so I could retry making a batch of cookies." the merdragon nods and withdraws back into the tank.
"Yes, but don't forget about us." a slightly clumsy mental presense pipes up. You turn and see a lanky beast with a beautiful golden glow lying peacefully beside the couch. Its wool is strikingly lovely. Nestled at its side is a smaller animal with pale yellow fur gazing at you through blue eyes. "My name is Artemis...beside me is my friend, Luna. If you are wondering, I'm a golden chirra...part of a dwindling species, I might add. We were Firstcomers. My friend here is a moon pyxel hop. Both of us were gifts to Karma from Serenity." the chirra smiles and then lays its head back on the floor, going to sleep.
A pair of cats approach you. One has charcoal-colored fur and the other's is deep purple. Both have a mask over their eyes. They seem to radiate energy as they rub against your legs with a low purr. "This is Leno and this is Montork." Karma tells you, kneeling to pet the small cats. "Leno was a gift from Lessa Lynn while Montork was a gift from Terralynne."
Two horses, small in stature, prance into the room and look at you. Both are interestingly colored and regard you calmly. "Hello." the one with a brightly colored mane says. Her presense is calm and fills you with a certain serene quality. "My name is Spectrum, a peace horse. This is my friend, Sirrus. I was a gift from AnnaBelle and he was a gift from Ladywizard." The other horse snorts and immediately you notice that a blanket of clouds has formed over the sun outside. "Sirrus is a cumlonimbus horse and has control over the clouds." Spectrum adds as the two of them trot away.
~And I was a gift from...well...I'm not sure.~ an unusual faery dragon giggles. ~My name is Glory and I'm of the "Dawning of a new era" genre of dragons. Our kind is rare indeed. I was part of the Isle's Secret Santa exchange program so I was left unannounced on Karma's doorstep. She's delighted indeed to have me!~
A bright, pale green shape zips over your head and alights on a cedar chest nearby as a faerdragon cocks her head at you inquisitively. ~Hi! I'm Wynteska~ she says with a grin. ~Didja see that purple faerydragon out front?~ Yes..you remember meeting Mudos at the same time you met Karma. ~That's my dad! He likes to live outside and keep an eye on the visitors that come and go...I kinda like the cabin myself. Its warm in here.~ "She's a pale green moon faerydragon." Karma informs you. "And a bit hyper." as if to confirm this, the faerydragon lets up a shrill cry and flits off after Garcia around the room in a game of chase-tail.
"Down here!" you look about yourself wildly, having already had your attention grabbed by so many creatures. You feel almost unpleasantly bewildered. When you cannot locate the source of this voice. You decide to give up when suddenly you feel something heavy land on your head. A pair of blue eyes look at you inquisitively. "Hi. I'm Apparition." a spirit faerydragon says simply. "And I'm Poof!!" a blue magick informs you, appearing in a cloud of purple smoke. "POOF!! Get it? HA!!" she chuckles.
There's an audible whump and you whirl around to see another blue-winged cat, somewhat different from Kyodai whom you met outside who has just alighted heavily on the countertop. Karma regards the cat with a gentle glare. Immediately, the cat looks apologetic and climbs down from the countertop. "That's Lazerus." she explains. "He's stil a little new here, but he's learning." She smiles a little. "He and Rosco were also involved in the millenium prize package." You're about to ask who Rosco is when suddenly a tabby cat appears.
"Both are male, and we're assuming their parents were strays as they don't have any recorded records for themselves. They are most welcome here though." she adds.
