Katana's Story

(Don't start yet Aite, and please do not be mad at me but it is bad for the story I set up if you start, no offense)

Katana whined softly forcing her eyes open. She was lying in a meadow of blooming flowers, none of which she knew the name of reds bleed with violets which lay with pinks. It was very beautiful katana mused but far too quite. Struggling to her feet Katana walked through the meadow running the flowers though her hand. Brushing one plant caused a whirlwind of activity. Butterflies left their perches fluttering around her.

Katana laughed the sound breaking the silence filling the air with warmth. Still laughing Katana began to chase the butterflies following them over the rocky, quite earth until she came across some other figures.

Katana stopped running, scared of these people but the butterflies fluttered around her urging her on. She approached the figures carefully on edge the laughter dying on her lips but the smile remained

“Erm hello I’m sorry to bother you but could you tell me who you are and what is going on? I’m quite confused”

"And I believe I am your sister. And who might you be? What purpose do you serve?" spoke the pale one. Her tone was strange, as if she uncertain Ragon could understand her. Still, never before has one spoke to him, much less ask a question. The primitive reptile paused a moment, puzzling his answer. Well, not so much the answer, as how to speak it. Of what need did he have to speak? Whom was there before to speak with? Still, his stance straightened up as his response croaked out of his throat.
"Puuurrpossse? IIII ammm Raagonnn..... I sserrrvvvve theeee Orrrderrrr.... "
His answer wasn't meant to be quite so cryptic, but he could scarcely summon up clearer words.

His head was twisting from side to side a bit, trying to understand these being before him. Not so much what they were as why they were. The one who spoke was frail, her limbs looked delicate and her skin stood in harsh contrast to nearly everything else in nature. She looked nothing like Ragon, infact none of them did. They all were much more similar to each other.... except one. This one was.... odd. A formless mass of dark shadows, a strange little mask seemingly danced in the center. The colors which radiated from it dazzled and dizzied Ragon, causing him to lose focus for a second. Why would such a thing need that? What possible purpose could changing your color serve? It would be much better to remain the color of your surroundings, for that held purpose. .......But what if your surroundings changed? That thought was..... interesting.

His head snapped at the direction of a sudden sound, unlike any he had heard before. The wind carried a smell with it. Another..... "sister", apparently. But still, why that sound? It was..... loud, braying, but more. The source was yet another small, frail girl, but Ragon cared not for her appearance. That noise was all he could think of, what others would call laughter. He simply stared at the young Goddess, the most bewildered look etched upon his features.

"Thaaat sssounnnd....... Maaaake it agaaaiiinnnnn?"

Katana’s question faded of her lips startled by how these figures looked up close. All were tall imposing and powerful. Katana felt quite out of her depth surrounded by these beings. The six of them stood around in a loose circle. Clearly they had been discussing something. How strange they all looked.

Katana was startled out of her thoughts wen one of the figures turned to face her saying something in a hiss Katana could not understand. Katana’s first thought was fear this creature could easily tear her apart in seconds. Then she noticed his face. It was in a very strange way adorable. His confused expression looked so out of place on his strong, regal face that Katana laughed again a rich melodic sound which filled the air.

Chuckling she composed herself no longer scared of the being before her “Hello sir my name is Katana and I must say you have the most impressive teeth I have ever seen. How do you clean them all?”

Aeraic looked at Ragon with surprise. He quickly grabbed his iguana-fish thing and held it in his other hand like a suit case. The fish thing then yawned and fell right back asleep. Aeraic then looks at Ragon and back at his fish thing. "Hello sir, I believe I am your brother. I am the chief deity, informed by our father Creator." explains Aeraic. He was about to say how they both look alike, but Katana then jumped into the conversation and started...laughing? "Why is she laughing?" thought Aeraic. "Hello sir my name is Katana and I must say you have the most impressive teeth I have ever seen. How do you clean them all" says Katana. Aeraic then starts making little chuckles at this joke and covering his mouth to not anger Ragon. "Well, Ragon, my name is Aeraic and may I ask, what is this "The Order" you speak of?" says Aeraic.

Lessica listened intently to the exchange. They were all making funny noises, these people— movements of the vocal chords that sounded a bit like speaking but with more air and less control. She glanced at Aeraic and then Katana, unsmiling, her eyebrows quirked in mild confusion. The girl had said something about the creature named Ragon, and her brother had made that sound. Was it affirmation? She, too, would like to affirm the strange creature's, her other brother's, existence, but how did one make that strange sound? She clicked her vocal chords together soundlessly in her throat. She would collapse her diaphragm, like this, and blow out some air. She laughed once, then twice, quite humourlessly. Perhaps it would have been a pleasant sound if she had put some emotion into it, but Lessica stopped abruptly and never make such a fool of herself again. This— laughter sounded stupid. She played with her pick behind her back, twirling it between her fingers with a growing nimbleness.

Arama sighed as she started forming a manikin that resembled Aeraic in skin colour, and in body style, "Can... I get help please...?" she asked Lessica since she can't do three things at once. After making the torso and the four limbs she looked at where she could mount the head, looking back at Aeraic she made a neck, and started making the head and it's features. Starting with the chin, which she made a little narrow with the sticks, then she had reached the mouth, easy enough, she put a few rocks in like her teeth, just no sharp ones. Now she started the eyes and nose, he nose was easy to place but the eyes to her were a pain, finally she entered the ocean again, and looked for something rounded. And did with two pearly white rocks and came out with them, now was the time for the placement of the eyes. She didn't know where at the time.

{Lessica, can you mess the ears up please?}

And then again the girl made her strange braying noise, making Ragon take a step back with a start. For all he could fathom, he could not understand why she did this? Then the frail thing spoke in a very gleeful tone, asking even stranger questions about his teeth, though Ragon simply ignored the question. Instead he turned again to the pale skinned one, as she too began that baffling sound. Her "laughter" though, it was.... very different. It carried with it a hollowness and blandness that was completely absent in the laugh of the other girl. Ragon, in an attempt to understand this better, made his attempt to mimic the girl. The result was less than satisfying, as he let out a series of three grunts and croaks that was displeasing even to his ears. But he simply couldn't let it rest there, all creatures of his making made sounds for a reason, they held a purpose, but what was the purpose for "Katana"? For laughter? That thought would burn away at him for quite a while.

The tallest one, who proclaimed himself both Ragon's brother and "chief deity", asked about that most sacred to the huge lizard. The Primal Order. How could he explain that which he could barely say? Perhaps.... perhaps he could show them, and Aeriac, possibly all of them, would see the beauty that Ragon held when he first saw it. He watched as the others made their little.... thingy, questioning why it was made of clay and rocks. It's limbs were too slender to help it survive, it's teeth were round and dull, and it had no weapons or defenses of any sort. A silly little thing, not even a part of them. All that which Ragon made was of his breath and blood, they were his children. He looked at this "Chief Deity", straightening his back till he was about a foot higher than Aeriac.


"Theee Orrderrr...." Ragon growled, as he bit into his own hand. The dark crimson blood began to seep from his wound, radiating with raw and untamed intensity. With his other claw he dug a small hole for the blood to pool, and as it did, it began to take a form. First of bone, then of flash, till finally the last droplets of blood seeped into this new beasts fur. It's lithe and slender body arced and stretched, it's feral feline muzzle roared out at it's Father. The teeth, perhaps, were too large for it, and the addition of horns was also questionable, but this creature was beautiful in Ragon's eyes. As all his creations were.

Finally he gazed away to an empty plot of soil, lumbering over to cup of handful of the loose dirt. He held the soil up to his face and exhaled deep into it. The dirt was dropped to the ground as it too began taking shape. Hoofed feet began kicking and flailing, a small light brown head bleating wildly, till finally the creatures stood straight. It's form was very delicate and graceful, with large ears and small antlers upon it's head and light brown and black colorations on it's fur. within moments of seeing each other, the chase was on. The herbivore bounded away with a gazelle-like grace, while the monstrous cat charged forward to claim it's kill. Though with so little place to go, the hunter inevitably was victorious.

"Prredatorrr..... Preeeyyyy...... The Balannnccce.... The Grrreeaat Cccircle Tuuurrrrnnssss....." And with a loud roar, both creatures were returned to dust. Ragon turned back to the others, nursing his hand and eager to know if they too saw the perfection of this cycle.

Even though her question had been ignored Katana felt a small bubble of pride well up inside her. The tall one had defiantly chuckled and the other one… that had defiantly been laughter no matter how…twisted.

Katana was about to speak again when she watched in horror as Lessica’s creature hunted her beautiful butterflies. Something was being said about a circle, life and death in balance. Katana understood this but who ever said that circle had to be so hollow.

Ignoring her companions Katana bent down and picked up a handful of the earth. Closing her eyes she thought of her butterflies and the beast of Lessica’s and though them both into the air. She twisted their colours into the ones she had seen in the meadow bright reds, pinks and purples.

The creatures looked very strange now as they danced and chased each other around their heads. Katana giggled as the butterflies flew through Lessica’s hair tangling it slightly, while the beasts skipped over Ragon’s shoulders causing katana to laugh again.

“This circle you speak of does exist but the world is not that hollow. If none of you will fill the gap then I shall. I am Katana goddess of laughter and all its causes and no matter how hard you try you cannot kill me. As long as there is life there is laughter”

Katana tilted her head slightly as she regarded all of them, her serious voice melting away into a smirk “So it looks like you’re stuck with me. Sorry but tough”

Katana waved her hands lazily her creations disappearing into the wind but the butterfliers remained. Smirking still at the others who had ignored her. So that’s how it is hmm I see. Fine be boring. While the others discussed the perks and follies of mortals katana skipped away from them. I’m not like them, all thought and wisdom. I am new and alone. They would rather weep then laugh so let them.

Dragging herself out of her musings katana knelt down into the soft earth at her feet laying her palms face down apon it. Forcing energy into her hand Katana raised the earth creating a 30 foot slope. Katana grinned; taking in her new play thing oh this should be fun.

Picking up a several braches katana bound them together forming a rudimentary sled big enough for two people. Giggling, katana dragged the sled back 20 feet then broke into a run, pushing the sled. Just before the sled reached the start of the hill katana jumped into it. Screaming with delight as she slid down the hill the butterflies soaring along side her.

At the bottom of the hill the sled struck a stone and flipped Katana onto the grass. Stunned, katana sat up mildly bemused than through her head back and laughed heartily. Oh I’m doing that again.

Aeraic looked at Lessica, stunned a bit. "Yes, the unknown is quite something to fear. But, there are chances of the unknown not being necessary to fear. So, I suppose you will be able to make these mortals having the power to create" explains Aeraic. "But, if things go wrong, you must stop them" says Aeraic with a gloomy tone. He then looks at Katana as she skips away. He had not noticed her mostly, and felt kind of bad. He then grabs his little reptilian pet and looks out the direction where Katana skipped away. "Well siblings, you may keep on work of these mortals, but give me a signal if you need me of assistance. He then holds his hands out as a golden and twisted horn forms in his hands out of dust. He then throws it in the air as it splits into three other copies of itself. Each copy of the horn floats into each of his siblings hands, softly. He then looks towards the direction where Katana skipped away and hovers towards that direction, floating on his feet. He then appears next to Katana and smiles at her. "Hello sister, you seem different from the rest of us, that is not bad though. We are too busy with knowledge and such, but you are different. You like to let go and relax. And, what is that noise you made me and Lessica make? It was quite, fun!" says Aeraic. He did not know what he just said. The word "Fun" floated around in his head. "What does it mean?" thinks Aeraic.

Katana had just dragged her sled back up to the top of the hill for a 5th go on her slide when she heard someone approaching on the wind turning she saw Aeraic floating towards her. Cool I so need to try that.

Katana waved at Aeraic assuming he had just come to check up on her. But to her surprise he approached her smiling "Hello sister, you seem different from the rest of us, that is not bad though. We are too busy with knowledge and such, but you are different. You like to let go and relax. And, what is that noise you made me and Lessica make? It was quite, fun!". He then pulled a rather confused expression. "What does it mean?"

Katana raised her eyebrows “what fun, well it erm, it err well frankly it means being alive” taking in his expression of confusion which had not changed, Katana took pity on him. “Well you lot with your ideas and creations are all very grand but does it feel good? Does it make you feel alive? Or just a machine?. Oh this is difficult here I’ll show you”

Katana walked back over to her sled motioning for Aeraic to follow her. “Alright me and you are going to push this sled as fast as we can and when I say we’re going to jump in me at the front and you in the back. Then my dear Aeraic I will show you life.”

Katana stood to the left of the slide leaving the right open to Aeraic “maybe will get a laugh out of you as well” Katana said smiling as a butterfly landed in Aeraic hair. "oh look you've made a friend" Katana chuckled lightly, smiling.

Aeraic then looks at the butterflies and smiles. He then touches it as it radiates with light and flies back to Katana. She then asked him to ride on a sled with her. He did not understand what this was, but if it means finding out what "Fun" is it will have to do. He then jumps on the sled. He then takes his reptilian friend and taps it. The creature starts morphing and stretching, until turning into a more snake like version of it self. Aeraic grabbed the new snake thing and wrapped it around his head like an odd and living headband. He smiled at this and finally started to get what "Fun" was. He then sits in the sled as he looks at Katana and nods in approval for riding down the hill.

Katana looked on bemused as Aeraic jumped into the sled gently stroking the wings of the butterfly with her little finger. Katana’s look of bemusement changed to one of glee when she saw Aeraic make a strange, reptilian headband. Katana stared for a minute the through her head back and laughed “Oh I like you, this is gonna be fun”

Katana moved into the centre of the sled and began to push as fast as possible, jumping it at the last second when it reached the crest of the hill. Katana Laughed into Aeraic’s shoulder as they speed down the hill her butterflies flying around their heads. At the bottom of the hill the sled span wildly into the grass the extra weight causing it to spin faster.

The sled came to a gentle stop tipping the two deities out onto the soft grass. Katana lay on her stomach roaring with laughter. Wiping her eyes she looked over at Aeraic smiling. “Now tell me you didn’t enjoy that”

Aeraic stared at Katana as he laid on the grass. He then starts to smile and laugh, slightly. It starts getting bigger and bigger and he finally laughs like somebody really should, not disturbingly like Lessica did. He then stands back up. "Yes sister! that was quiet...."Fun!!!" says Aeraic. He then looks towards the crater he was at. "You should show this new "Fun" to the rest of our kin, they will enjoy it. But for now, fare well my sister!" says Aeraic. He then taps his reptilian creature. The creature then morphed into yet another form, a bigger, four legged, and bulky form. It was just like the small first form, but bigger, fatter legs, and hard rocky material on it's back, making the back look like a seat for a party. He then jumps on the back as it walks towards the mountains, Aeraic's new HQ. As he rides towards the mountains, he waves to Katana. "Sister, you should find a place to live. I do not know if our father made a certain home for us, but you need to find shelter until we do find this place" explains Aeraic as he is far away from Katana, still able to talk to her though with a clear-ish voice. He then looks towards the mountains and touches the creature on the head. It then gains blue markings, starting from where it was touched by Aeraic. It's eyes then open with blue energy, it's markings start glowing with the same blue energy, and it starts running with a trail of the energy behind it. Before you know it, he is already at the edge of the mountains, at the bottom that is. He then looks up as he touches the creature again. It then gains wings and flies up towards a large tip of the mountain, perfect for a base. It then makes a loud "KAHHH!!" sound as it flies up, loud enough for others to hear.
