Almost large enough to be considered a theme park while remaining free to the public, Terrace Park is rumored to have been the site of the Grand Hollowheart's defeat, leading to the Hollowhearts first accepting a pact with humans. (+2 Fame, +2 Endurance)

Alarice<.:.:.:.:.:.>Porfirio
(Pickle)<<^^^^>>(Fire)


"Come on, Fire.  You haven't been out of the Valley in way too long.  Neither have I.  Plus, I can't make Meggan do everything."
 "Well, that's because I never wanted to go out of the Valley...  there are... people here."  
"Not all people are bad.  You're a person."  
 "Partly..."  
It was a bright and sunny day in Terrace Park when Alarice had finally dragged Fire out of the Valley.  They were taking a stroll in the park, Alarice adoringly watching as the little children ran about.  There were a few clouds in the sky, but none seemed stormy.  It was the perfect day to go on a hunt.  Alarice absolutly adored the Mr. Wilsons, and she was determined to find one.
"Do you think we'll find one?" she asked Fire.
"Probably.  After all," he said, cracking his fingers, "You taught me everything I know."
"That's what I'm afraid of..." she mummbled.
They continued their stroll, and began a conversation about one of the only things they had in common:  Forms.
"So... what mood do you have to be in to be a Penticorn?"
"Depressed."
"Well, how about a... um... a Battleheart?"
"Angry."
"Rengosett?"
"Curious, I think."
"What mood are you in now?"
"I don't know."
"Well, that's not very helpful."
"I think you're scaring those little kids with your eyes and your teeth."
"I think your scaring those big adults with your hair and your clothes."
"What's wrong with my hair?"
"What's wrong with my teeth?"
"..."
"That's what I thought."

Someday, somewhere I'll finally see
The light I have searched for everywhere!

They had been walking for quite some time when two young children ran up to them and tapped Alarice.  "Tag!" they giggled, scurrying away from her.
She smiled and said, chasing after them in mid-morf to her creature form as an Ancient Kuhna,"Oh come on, you got a head start!"
The children continued to giggle as they ran away from her, and occasionally, she would tap one of them, say,'Tag!', and begin to run a little slower to go easy on them so they would catch her.
"Alarice," Fire complained.
"Just a second," she called back, still playing with the children.
Fire could see the childrens' parents sitting on a picnic blanket and watching Alarice closely.  He walked on over to them and said,"Don't worry.  She just loves children.  I assure you, nothing bad will happen."  All of a sudden, the adults seemed way more relaxed.  The odd thing was, Fire could feel their relaxation.  He wasn't expecting them to completely believe him, because he was a stranger, too.  Could I have... controled their mood? he thought.  It surprised him a great deal, and with this feeling of surprise he accidently morphed into a Roosken.  Hm... he thought.  So that's what triggers it...  He focused on calming himself down, like Alarice had taught him, and was in his human form in no time.  
"Alarice, I think we should get going."  He didn't know what had gone on, but he knew that he needed to talk with Alarice about it.
"Alright!  Coming!" she called.  "Goodbye, children.  I have to go now."
"Awww... bye kitty," they said, patting her head.
Alarice smiled and ran over to Fire.  "What's up?" she asked.  As Fire explained the whole thing, she just watched and nodded.  "Well?" she asked.
"Well, what?" he said.
"Are you going to try it?"
"What?"
"Your Mood Changing thing.  Try it."
"On you?"
"Who else?"
Fire took a deep breath.  "Okay... everything will be alright... nothing bad will happen...  It's okay..."
Immeadiatly, all the joints in Alarice relaxed, and she smiled.  She seemed to be in a daze, though...  like she was being controled...
"Alarice!  Are you alright?"  Fire frantically shook her awake, and she quickly came to her senses.  "Creepy...." she breathed.

"Do you have any idea how creepy that is?  You can... posses people."
"Well, don't say it like that.  Your making me feel... bad."
"How on earth could that make you feel bad?"
"Because I could hurt someone.  I'm... a monster."
"Don't you ever say that!  Your freaking harmless!  It was an accident, and you never hurt anyone.  Don't think like that.  If your a monster, than so am I...  Hey, don't... Oh crap.  Cheer up, come on!"
Fire had accidently morphed into a Penticorn, which meant that he was depressed.  "What if I did hurt someone?  I could probably make them feel pain, just as I could make them feel relief.  I could hurt someone, just by talking!"  He began choking with tears as he was talking, and all of a sudden, in a fury of anger with himself, he became a Void Battleheart and took off into the sky.  
Alarice sighed, morphed into an Organic Battleheart, and flew after him.   Great, she thought to herself.  Look at what you've done now.  She kicked up the pace, wind whiriling around her.  "Fire!"  she called, pulling in next to him.  "Fire, you didn't hurt anyone.  Even if you did, nothing fatal would happen.  It's a good thing we caught this before you did, and we can work on it.  Just land.  Calm down!"
Just as she said that, Fire pulled in his wings and began to plummet to the ground.
"Porfirio!"  Alarice screamed, diving after him.  If she couldn't stop him fast enough...  Then, somethhing happened.  About ten feet from the ground, he morphed into a Void Garudor, flaped his feathered wings once, and nimbly landed on the ground.  Alarice flaped her large bat-wings and landed next to him.  They both morphed into their human forms, and Alarice screamed, "What were you thinking?!  You could've killed yourself, or gotten hurt, and...  NEVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!"  She looked at him.  He was smiling.  "I'm getting too old for this." she said.  "By the way, what mood is the Garudor?"  
He  looked at her with watery eyes.  "Sorrow."
She smiled.  "Awww, come here."
She gave him a hug and said, "Now, we'd better get back to our hunt, to see if we haven't scared them all off."
They both smiled, and continued with their stroll, as if nothing had happened.

"Fire."
"What?"
"I think you can control your powers.  Every other time we've spoken, nothing's happened.  At all.  It's just, if you're trying to calm someone down, or make them nervous. So, just talk as if your nervous, but not as if you're pursuading me to be.  Try it."
"Alarice, I really don't want to try it again... not now, atleast."
"Well, you kind of just did.  See, you felt emotion when you did that, but were you trying to pursuade me to feel that emotion?  No.  so, you've spoken with emotion and not taken over my mind.  See?"
"No."
"Oh, whatever.  We'll talk about it later."
"Fine by me."
There wasn't much to do around this area, except sit, read a book, and watch children play.  Alarice ran up a small hill, and laid on her back in the grass, facing the sky.  She sighed, and Fire lay down next to her.
"Have you ever noticed," she asked absentmindedly, "how in the clouds, some make up numbers?  Like, some make up pictures, and lightly next to them,  there are numbers?"
"Your not going Beetal on me, now are you?" Fire teased.
"Hey, don't be mean... No, I'm not.  I'm just saying."
"Saying what?"
"That some clouds look like numbers."
"Yah..."
"I think we should get going, or at least get up before someone steps on us."
Fire grinned.
"Ditto," he said.
So they both got back up, brushing the grass out of their hair.  Once again, they continued walking, searching the sky for Mr. Wilsons.  This time, though, they were walking hand in hand.

"What are you thinking about?"
"The Valley.  I don't feel comfortable leaving it so suddenly.  What if Meggan needs something?"
"She'll do fine.  You're acting like she's your four-year-old daughter or something."
"Sure feels like it."
"Oh, a tour.  Quick, act creepy."
"Shut up."
They had been strolling around as usual, when a large group of people hustled past them.  It was probably a tour trying to see the rumored site of the Grand Hallowheart's defeat.
"Let's join on in."
"Do I ha-"
"Yes.  You never know.  You may have fun.  Take part in a social event, would you?"
And so, it was decided.

"What in the world?  I..I smell another kuhna, or actually two," Thalia said to herself, "I wonder where they are?" She looked around and immidiatly saw a girl with fangs and another boy with her. "Their scents are strong, so they must be ancients.  I wonder what they want?"   Thalia walked back to the end of the line.  "Hey, so well, what are you doing here?   I mean, I know you're Kuhnas, but are you here for your master or just for pleasure?"   Thalia hadn't seen any other Kuhnas before except for the ones at the Falls, and meeting others was, to her, exciting.

(Thanks for letting me join, I really appreciate it!)

Alarice turned around and beamed at the sight of the new kuhna.  
"Well, hello!  I'm Alarice, but you can call me Pickle.  In this case, I suppose, I'd be the 'master'.  I founded the Valley, after all.  Well, this is Porfirio-"
She nudged him so he would stop prenending to be asleep to annoy the Tour Guide.
"Yah... you can call him Fire.  He's, um..."
while trying to think of a word for Fire, he began to morph.  Before any of them could quite make out what it was he was turning into, she scooped him up and hid him behind her back.  She had to bite her lip to keep from crying out, because, as it turns out, in mid-morph, Fire feels as if he's on fire.  She didn't want to creep out the new kuhna, so she said,"Excuse us for a second," and she turned around to see what was up with Porfirio.  
"What now?  Mood?" she hissed.
Pofirio grinned.  "Rattagean.  Mischevious.  I'm going to go pants the tour guide."
"Oh no, you're not.  Calm down, or do whatever you can to get back into you're human form.  I don't want to creep out the newcomer.  First, let me set you down.  When you're morphing, you feel like an inside-out oven."
"Cool!"
She set him down in the grass behind her and turned tward the new Kuhna.
"Well, where did you come from?  Are you on an errand?  Fire and I are searching for a Mr. Wilson, but with all the commotion he stirrs up, it may be a while."
All of a sudden, Alarice heard a scream, and felt heat radiating behind her.  She turned around.  Apparently, Fire had managed to get into his human form, and the tour guide had managed to lose his pants.
"Complicated.  That's the word I'm looking for.  He's Complicated."
Fire looked at both of them with big, innocent eyes, and yet a mischevious smirk.
*sigh*

"Nice, a good job, huh, Fire?" Thalia said.  She knew that she shouldn't be encouraging him, but that was a good prank. "Wow," she said, "He can shapeshift to, and he can control it! Man, I wish I could.  He even has more forms than me. Lucky!"  She wondered if they would let her join them.  Thalia hadn't trained for a long time, and hunting, even if she couldn't eat it, would be a great way to train her instincts.  Maybe the male could even help her control her morphing.  "Hey, so can I join you?" Thalia asked.

"Well, Thalia, if you'd like you may join us on our hunt for a Mr. Wilson, but... well, you'll have to excuse Fire and I, because, if you haven't already noticed, we're especially... gifted.  Though, you're the first person today to not freak out at what you've seen.  I wonder... do you-?"
She was about to say 'aquire the same abilities,' when Porfirio cut in and said,
"Yah, I was pretty great, wasn't I?  You really should come with us.  That'd be fun.  Like Alarice said though, we're freaks."  He smiled a toothy grin, and Pickle elbowed him in the ribs.  
"Shut up.  I didn't say that."  she hissed to him, turning to the kuhna.  "So, did you say 'too' when you were talking about Porfirio's forms?  Do you have some, too?  Also, if you don't mind me asking, what is your name?"
Pickle bit her lip hopefully, because it would be very nice to have a female like her to hang out with.  She smiled at the kuhna-girl, awating an answer.

"Yeah, but my forms are very few, and very basic.  When I am happy I stay as my Kuhna self, when I'm sad a Magistrey, when I am mad I turn into a Torken, when I am shy a Rattegan, a Rollaby if I am feeling like I want to prank someone, and a Tali when I am determined.  But I can't really control it, I don't really even know when it is going to happen, which is why I need someone to teach me how." It all came out in a rush, and Thalia was scared they would think she was crazy and run.  Thalia never really talked to anyone but Zuel, and even then they barely talked for more than a few minutes.

Alarice's eyes lit up with joy.  "I could teach you!  You see, I've been teaching Fire here, and he's been doing very well but, obviously, still needs some work.  I can change into ANY Organic Creature, just by will.  Since I'm, um... One hundred and... Two hundred, maybe?  I don't know.  I've had years to practice.  I could teach you and Fire.  You can also help us hunt for a Mr. Wilson.  Sound good?" After those long ramblings, Alarice had to stop and catch her breath.  Meanwhile, Fire piped up and said,I can turn into voids, but they depend on my mood and I don't know all of them yet.  It's cool though.  Can you only turn into a specific color?" It was pretty akward for them to ask Thalia so many questions at one time, so now it was their turn to hope they hadn't scared her off.

Thalia had to make sure that she got all their questions, but found the task pretty hard.  "Um, well, I don't know if I only morph into certain types.  I mean, I'm not really even aware when I change, so I couldn't really tell you.  Um, well, I wish I could morph, but I'm not really in any of the moods that cause me to morph, or I don't think I am.  You have to understand I'm really new at this.  Sorry."  Thalia was anxious to get going, to start training, but then she remembered that she hadn't even told the two her name. "Hey, so my name's Thalia."

"Thalia..." Alarice mused.  "What a beautiful name!  We'd be happy for you to join us, and I'm willing to teach you everything I know.  Sounds good, yes?". Alarice was very happy to have made a new friend, and was very hopeful that she would come along on the hunt.  Just then, Alarice remembered the whole reason they were there.  She looked into the sky, noticing the time.  "Oh my!  How time flies.  Well, we'd better get on with the hunt.  You coming or what?"
"Yah.  Let's go.  C'mon, Thalia.  You can come, too."

Even though Thalia didn't want to admit it, she was taking quite a liking to Fire.  He was just like her.  Mischievous, yet shy, out going, yet unsure.  "Yeah, I'd like to join you on the hunt.  So where to first?" said Thalia eagerly.  She was mostly over her shyness, and felt more comfortable around the duo now.

"Well, see, I'm not completely sure exactly where we're supposed to go, because these things could be anywhere.  I think we ought to just head in a direction, and stick to it...  Along the way, I'll teach you how to control your powers, though we'll start out simple.  I may have to... Get you in a certain mood, so you can see if you can control your mood.  With powers controled by emotion, then controling your emotion will control your power.  To tell you the truth, I used to control my powers with emotion, though I had no one to teach me.  After years of... Er... difficulties, I taught myself to control my abilities, simply by will."
When Alarice was done blabbering, Fire stepped in and said,"Well, there's an interesting thing you never bothered to mention before.  Come on, we should get going before Alarice tries to tell us the whole, detailed, two hundred an-"
"Shut up, Fire.  Don't get me started on spitting ages. "
Fire blushed furiously.  He liked Thalia, since she was just like him, and mor imporantly, she was FEMALE.  He didn't know if she liked him too, and there was the fact that Alarice and him were somewhat hooking up.  What to do...
