More of a test than anything...

Um... he is cute, is he not? ~~The following was written by someone on Gaia Online. I will credit it as soon as I find the author.~~

Reyn sat, contentedly sketching in the shade of a large oak tree to escape from the merciless sun. It was rather hot out and small beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, which she wiped down with a small cloth. Finally, she set her sketchpad aside and let out a large sigh. She blinked sleepily, taking in the serene landscape that surrounded her. Directly in front of her was a small stream that flowed quietly to the south and eventually joined with a series of shallow rivers; to her right and left were large oak trees that stood between 9 and 10 feet tall; and located a behind her was open meadow. Located a hundred yards beyond that, was a large grove.

She rose to her feet and stretched her tightened muscles. She was about to sit back down to finish her drawing, when an ear splitting scream filled the air. Startled, she looked around, trying to figure out where the sound had come from. She looked behind her, out into the open meadow, when whatever had screamed, did so again. Reyn realized that the sound was coming from somewhere around the grove of trees out in the distance. Fearing that someone might be hurt and in need of help, she hurriedly gathered up her sketching materials and raced towards the grove.

Upon arriving at her destination, Reyn was shocked to find the grove filled with the most bizarre thing she had ever seen. Cat creatures! Standing right in front of her very eyes were varied ages (as far as she could tell) of cat children. The youngest looked no older than 12 and the oldest looked no older than 17. And weirdest of all, sitting in the farthest left-hand corner of the grove, were 5 odd looking eggs, if one could even call them that.

For the third time, an ear-splitting shriek penetrated the calm and Reyn was able to pinpoint the source. A cat girl with long, shimmering blue hair and gorgeous blue eyes was clutching her tail close to her chest.

"You jerk! You did that purposely!" She shouted angrily to a cat boy with short gray-black hair and green eyes.

"What? No I didn't!" He looked rather indifferent to the girl's accusations.

"You mean to tell me that you stepped on my tail not once, not twice, but THREE times and that it wasn't done on purpose?!"

He shrugged. "Sure." The cat girl glared at him.

Reyn looked on at the arguing pair in shock. Cat children was odd enough, but talking cat children took the cake.

Deciding that the heat had finally gotten to her and she was only imagining the cat children, Reyn turned away and promptly screamed.

Standing directly behind her was another female cat creature, but this one wasn't a child. She appeared to be at least 21 and was the most beautiful creature Reyn had ever seen. Her silver hair reached down to her ankles and she wore an outfit that seemed to defy all the laws of gravity. Though her outfit barely covered her flesh, it was incredibly detailed, composed of flowing silk, beads, and ornamental jewelry. Her eyes were a deep, penetrating icy blue, and her skin was a light mocha color with white stripes placed here and there on her flesh. A few tribal tattoos were located on her body; one was on her left cheek, another on her left shoulder, and a third spiraling down her right leg. She looked almost Amazonian.

Struggling to calm her racing heart, Reyn could only stare at the creature before her. She also became painfully aware that her scream had grabbed the attention of all the children in the grove. Without so much as a word, the Amazonian cat woman gently grabbed Reyn's arm and steered her over to an area just out of the others' hearing range.

"I need to speak with you about a matter of utmost importance." Her voice was hypnotic and soothing. 'These children you see here, just recently have they become parentless and homeless. Normally we are creatures of an unseen realm, but strange things are happening. For some reason the youngest have crossed over into this realm while the adults, save myself, have remained behind in our own dimension. I fear that one by one, the youngest of the different species of our realm will cross over into this world, with no way to get back home. I know of no way to stop these events from happening and since you have stumbled upon us, I have a favor to ask of you. Please find these children worthy adoptive parents who can care for them while they are here in this world. If you do this, we will all be forever in your debt."

A pained look filled the eyes of the cat woman, but disappeared as quickly as it had shown up. "Oh, yes, there is one more thing I think you should know. Do you see those gems over there?" She gestured towards what Reyn had initially thought were eggs. "They are what will one day be known as The Selected in our world. They are the ones who are pre-chosen to govern our society and make sure everything is kept balanced. We all exist in sub-categories, or different species. We are all a part of a group known as Tahnee's and each of the Tahnee species is gifted with a total of five gems, which will one day grow into those who will govern our society, as I told you before. Of course, the species that are born from the gems can be of any species, for reasons we have never been able to understand.

"While the normal Tahnees' grow at a relatively fast rate, The Selected will grow much slower, going through a total of 4 stages before they become adults. It is even possible that the older Tahnees' who are stuck here, might even 'create' the gems of The Selected. The appearance of The Selected only happens every so often, however. I'd hate to think that there would be a 'demand' for these children, but I do not think it is to be unexpected. So I must ask that these children be given away only to the worthiest of the prospective parents."

Reyn remained silent for a moment as she thought through what the cat woman had said. Feeling compelled to help these distressed creatures, she finally made her decision and offered to help them.

And thus the Tahnee Orphanage was formed.
