NOTICE: I'd like to announce to everyone that Sir Naro is now MY persona. His previous owner has been "relieved" of the responsabilities that came with him and I now take him into my own custody. -- Karma You walk down the hallway, having gotten momentarily lost. You look about yourself at the small hallway which is lined with tiny perches for minidragons and portraits of people you've never seen before. At last you find a door to your right and open it.

"Hey there!" an amiable young man smiles as you enter, looking up from where he's seated in a comfortable-looking red chair with a scroll in his lap. Beside him flutters an unusual little creature. "Sir Naro at your service!" he winks, saluting you. "The 'sir' is an honorary title more than anything...I'm not really a knight." he smirks. "I caught a couple egg-nabbers in the sands awhile back. You can just call me Naro."

"I'm one of the mistress's live-in helpers, after all. We're practically family!" he pauses, the smile slipping from his face. "Well...we WOULD be family at least...if I wasn't so chicken-hearted." he withdraws something small and gold from his pocket and eyes it a moment before quickly putting it away. You could have sworn it was a ring.

~Don't let it get to ya.~ the creature tells him, fluttering closer to his face. He smiles a bit as it lands on his shoulder. "Traveler, this is my long-time companion and friend, Flitterby. At one time I was quite upset because when I first came to the isle, none of the dragons seemed interested in me. He's a male fire fairy from the Little Lights sands, pointed out to me by the merdragon apprentice, Kala."

~Hello!~ the gray greets you. ~I'm Tinuviel...beside me are my friends Starjumper, Maureen, and Mandrake.~ each of the minis bows a bit, and Starjumper gives a sleepy yawn. ~If you don't mind...we were all taking a nap when you came by so we'll just go back to it now.~ Tinuviel chuckles. The four minis disappear back into the basket.

"And these are the younger dragons." Naro smiles, pointing at a group of dragons up on his dresser. "The purple is grapevine, the weather is Strongbow, the animal is Cutter, the teal is SorrowWind, and the last two..." he sighs a bit, his smile slipping a notch. "Well...these two were abandoned. Dart and Archimedes." he gestures to a scholar and bronze that sit slightly away from the group. "I'm hoping to give them a good home."

"These dragons..." Sir Naro smiles as he takes a basket down from a safe place on an uppermost shelf of his bookcase. "...are rather special." a snort goes up from the other minis. "Well don't get me wrong..all of you are special!!" he assures his other bonds with a pat on the head and a gentle cooing sound. "But this fire, Kalenik rainbow and psychic came from the first of Karma's clutches ever to go on the sands. This first one is from the Citadel sands from Magick Kamek and Animal Abe and I've named her Redlance. The rainbow came from Karma's first clutch on the Kalenik sands from Healer Leetah and Earth Lethnot and I call her Littletrill. Psychic Abra-Kadabra is from a Fen clutch, parented by Yellow Kooky and Fire Nova. Water female Pepsi is from Fire Matilda and Yellow Mandrake's clutch on the Fen. And lastly, Air Rudy is out of Black Nightstar and Dream Amalphia."

Your eye is directed to a quartet of minis sitting quietly in the corner, looking nervously at you. "Oh...you might want to let those four alone..." Naro sighs. "Hazhulka, Natalie, Sabith, this is just a visitor...they're not going to hurt you." he assures the orange, brown, and yellow minis. They shudders a little and hide their heads under one wing. The albino trembles. You look questioningly at Naro. "They were all abandoned by their owners at the fen sands, Orange Hazhulka, Brown Sabith, Yellow Natalie and Albino Dreamweaver, and aren't very fond of people at the moment. I hope some time around other minis and humans will bring them out of it." he sighs. "Its very traumatic for a dragon to be abandoned, you know." Hazhulka contiues to look terrified and you decide it would be for the best to leave her and the others alone.

You hear a light tinkling sound like windchimes and look up to see a dragon that's roughly twice the size of a minidragon perched on the edge of a bookcase, looking curiously down at you. "Hello there Merlin." Naro greets the dragon. The dragon smiles at him and then returns its attention to you. "Sorry...faerydragons tend to be a little protective of their bonds. Merlin's just checking you out." After a moment the black magick faerydragon fades out with the same tinkling noise. "Isn't he something else? He's my first faerydragon. My belov--err, Karma runs the faery sands and this was the first time I've been able to bond with one before they've all been taken."

You hear a splash and whirl about, seeing nothing. You hear it again and curiously open a wooden door that you thought to be a closet. To your surprise, it leads directly into a dimly lit walk-in space with a large tank in it. Swimming in lazy circles is a merdragon who regards you with a smile and a lash of its tail, producing a spray of water. ~Name's Shoreskimmer~ the creature tells you with a smirk. ~I'm a sandcomber merdragon!~ You nod and close the door quietly.

A gentle whicker resounds from nearby as a quartet of horses poke their heads through the study's window inquisitively. "Oh hi there, guys." he smiles gently, getting up and stroking each of the horses' muzzles. "It seems that all of my creatures have come to say hello at once." he smirks. "These are my isle horses, Leanne, Sprite, Sage, and Marsha. Leanne's from a wild foaling and is a special earth horse. The other three...well, the mistress won them for me in a contest." Leanne snorts and withdraws her head from the window, trotting away as the rest of the quartet follows. "Well, that's about all for now. Thank you for stopping by!"
