Astrea vs The Magic of the Unknow

Sorry for the delay, but this november i going to put more episodes and change drawings from the chapter; i used a lap before, but now i finally fixed the cpu and i got a bigger screen to draw!! :D

 To be honest i got some economical problems, but if somebody know how to make money using the internet,I will appreciate any advise!! u_u

My mother wasnt very fond of me... I was told that my mother screamed of fear when i was born, that my appearence fright her and she lock herself in her room for days; my dad was a mewman and was scared to, but he was a farmer and had some client that were monster and moewmans, so he didnt mind him the fang or the tail, his favorite phrase was "It didnt matter the claw or the fangs, what matter young lady, its in your heart"; for him i was his child and there was a lot of thing he doesnt know about my mother, so he take me where he worked and raise me the best he could; sometimes he bring me to the school to meet my mother, because he wanted to all get along has a family. My mother was really happy to see him, but she prefered to ignore me when i was there... so the only thing i could do, was just wait to get back home... the only time we were like a family was one day, when we gather to the beach, he heard from one of his clients form the waterfolk people country a place where even the monster could get there... and was pretty hard, but he convince my mother to go all together... That moment was i was really happy and i finally get to speak to my mom, she said i should hide my tail or my claw, because probably will scared the boys when i grow bigger... i was happy we finally met each other, but... or relationship didnt grow better, was getting worse... She started to scoold me everytime she saw me and was really ashamed of me when i was in the school, my dad suggested i should stay some days to learn from my mom and with tht we can get along, but... one day, my mom was really upset, she yell at me because i wasnt able to stand correctly and then she bring me to that room... I was in that room for a lot of time, my head hurted a lot, i was tired... and the, she take me to the machine... she said because i was young, dad only attention to me... and she was going to fix that... That was...horrible... I felt how my life was sucked... i felt more weak anytime she use that thing on me... i though i was going to die... but then one day, my dad find out what was going on... i was inconcious, but i was told my dad tried to help me, to get out of that place... he gatter some of his friends and break on the school, but for me to free... he payed the consecuences... there was a accident in the middle of everthing... and with his last strength, he said when i woke up, i should go to the beach to meet him... So, that was i did... but my dad... was different... he told me my mother reconstruct him like that... and she even program him... that now was called Gemini... He said he would do his best to keep my mother busy so she wouldnt find me... and i have being strong and free... but this place... was our place... I said goodbye... Im so sorry dad... Im so sorry...

Today its the day, i barely could sleep or seeing what happening around me... i try to put a smile while the gang were having so much fun in the beach, but i couldnt concentrated; in a blink of an eye, was sunset and i felt somebody putting a jack on my shoulders, i saw Toffee next to me and said he found him... he take my hand while he was asking me if i was ready and i slowy said yes with my head... we walked though the beach together and Dennis notice that, saying he would come too... The three of us, were just walking until... i saw him... staring in the beach quietly, while the sun was disapearing in the sea... he notice us and smile, while i was reaching at him...

"Hi dad" i mumble, but he only respond "There you are...my fairiest of the land..." i kneel down to hug him; he kinda saw Toffee and Dennis and ask me how i was and if i was all right; i responded i was okey, i miss him and ask him how he was, he said i was givin his best... then Toffee and Dennis, they come near to me and kneel too and greet my dad; he ask about them and i present them... my dad was a little surprised but he said he was glad i wasnt alone, Toffee quickly said he will take care of him and my dad laugh a little, asking he wanted to gain "This old man permition" and we blushed... My dad admited that he was getting tired lately... he was afraid that probably Gemini was winning over him... he said... probably he was reaching his limit...he apologise for everthing and i hold my tears when i hug him...he said he love me and i always going being very important to me... i responded i love him too... Then, we heard a sparking and he just left, using the chainsaw to open a portand to return were Gemini should be... i could help let the tears and i fall in the sand...i felt Toffee and Dennis next to me and i cried until i fall sleep... When i wake up, everybody was around to a fire and Toffee stand up, asking me if i was okey... i couldnt respond, but i smile and i sit with him; Rasticore asked what happend back there... Toffee said i should force myself to respond it, but i was okey... i have to face it... there and here to... Him was my dad... or was left of him, before was captured and tranformed in a android called Gemini; he barely can hold to his memories...and today...its the only day he had left to remember, but... apparently is going to be gone to... and if ask me who would do such cruel thing to somebody... Its the director of Saint Olga, the reformatory of Wayard princess... and she... is my mother...

Today was able get in the place, a beach in waterfolk kingdom and i was surprised with Toffee underlings and there were more nicer that i tought. We barely get in the sand and there were crazy about it... they was running in al the place, playing with some stuff, getting in the sea... i was surprised, when Toffee comented this place was great for them, because its was pretty hidded from the mewman "His boys" didnt wanted to lose a oportunity like this; he arrenged a search team for food and the workers team for making a place to stay. Dennis and i, we  are the only monster that are not septarians, but even so, they treat us like we are one, the search team quickly pick Dennis and they were even put him a nick name "FlyerThunder"; i stayed in the workers group to built some nice houses and Toffee said he would go with the searcher to keep an eye on his underlings with Dennis and he kiss me while he was saying goobye. I was able to me some septarians, like Chopsaw, who its more shoorter, but his jaw are really powerfull, or Honeybee, one of the few females and let me hat for the sun, and Rasticore, he is tall, but its pretty young comparated to the other, he its kinda new in the band and apparently a long relative to Toffee. Rasticore is pretty nice and he even let me read some of they comic books he made in his free time, he is writting about a cool bounty hunter, who has many adventures and he said he wanted be like him someday; i ask him if the band knowed about me before and he suddely was nervous about it... he ask me to keep it in secret, because Toffee was going to kill him? Well, according with Rasticore, Toffee and him just finished to beat so punks in the forest when they saw me in the forest and since then, his boss, well... suddenly he wanted to go to the monster town and made some tricks with his dragon bike for a several days, by a unknow reason, even he found him laying in the floor at the entrance of the town (Ehm...I think that one was me), Rasticore find out all this strange incident started with me, so he investigated were i lived after i was fired and tried to convice Toffee to talk to me, but he was reclutant because he was denying everthing, even when was pretty obvious? So, in the end, when he finally convice him to talk to me...and the band began to notice what was going, when they saw Toffee, like suddendly dissapearing for a lot of time, reading about plants and even sighing to much, he even watched how he picked fight against some mewmans for stealing his corn and going someplace. Rasticore also mentioned about our relatioship was know, even by Toffee dad....i tried to ask who was, when Toffee suddenly appeared behind us by surprised and stared at us, while asked to Rasticore what were talking, i even could heard a small growl from him and Rasticore was so scare that his scales were pale; i tried to cover him up by showing up his comic book and saying he was telling me about the new chapter. Toffee look at me for a moment, but he put a smile saying i shouldnt take the story so seriously and he brough some food to make a barbacue; i couldnt to help to smile and i commented it was my first time to being in a barbacue and... Toffee its kinda scary when he is upset...

After Toffee appeared with his underlings, he inmediatly ask for me and Dennis show the hand were i was, one of the lizard pointed out that i was too little for a size shifter; but Toffee kinda a ignore him while he stare at me, with a strange look in his eyes... i barely could see him, i still a little ashamed for what happend a few days ago, when he took me from Dennis hand put me in his pocket, saying we have to talk in private. Oh snails, i was afraid he was going to scold me because i kinda diched out before i leave the monster temple and i was right, he scoold me for traveling alone because was pretty dangerous in this days since they heard there was a Solarian warrior recluting mewmans and those guys are not joke when there are slaying monsters...i apologise to him and i promise i wouldnt do it again... then he was quiet for a moment when he ask me about it what was so important that i leave the temple... I comented that was something very personal...and the true it is... but Toffee didnt like it and ask me if i was avoid him for what happend the last time we see each other... i didnt know what to said, indeed was little true...but not with bad intentions... Toffee just give a huge sigh and he take me off from his pocket, putting me in his hands, saying that he saw that coming because he knew that he was a good guy? I didnt undestand, but i saw his face, he was sad, really sad and he keep talking that he undestand if i hated him or something like that and he even said he would leave me alone after he scort me to i have to go... "No! That not it!" And i still can believe i yell at him, even Toffee looked me surprised... but i remember what Sir Glossaryck said about facing my problems, and for the first time, i talked with my heart... i was being honest to him, about were i wanted to go and why... and even why i didnt waited for him in the temple... and why i shrink... Before i notice, while i was talking to him, i was gaining my normal size and...oh well... i admited i like him...ohhh...was so embarrasing... and he just stared at me....like i was crazy or something... but Toffee grab my arms and ask me i was being serious... i barely said yes when he...kinda tackle my face with his muzzle, but in the end... well...you know...we were kissing... I admit, i barely could breath, but we kinda...figure out? Though, one of my lips was cut because one of his fangs, but he apologise for that and saying he would do better the next time...oh, snails...this is a little embarrasing...

Then, we go were his underlings were waiting and then, he said were where heading and present me as his woman...and they kinda know about it? There was making this "Oh what a surprise", but no really mean it?  Oh snails... this day has being super embarasing...

Ummm, so i was sleeping... when somebody trowed a shoe in my face... I through it was kinda a weird, when i saw that shoe was so little that looked like a seed and then i realise... i was huge... That was so embarrasing, and confusing and weird; probably happen in the night while i was sleeping, but i was really worried for the people living in the inn and star to seach in the ground, but i was so tall and a lot of monsters were so tiny i coundt saw their faces; i stand up slowly and tried to leave the town before i hurted more people, but they were surronding me and attacking my feet and was pretty difficult to move at all... I didnt know what to do, when i felt a pinch in my cheek an when turn my head, i saw something that look like a bird saying hi to me and notice, it was tiny version of Dennis; i tryied to say hi, but i was so big that my breath almost made him blow away, but Dennis returned and started to talk in my ear.

He said that Toffee pay a visit in his house and asked about me, but he didnt had any idea were i was, so he ask him to tag along to start searching were i was heading; oh dear, i didnt know he will be so worried! And when i thinked about it, Dennis suddlenly screamed "You are shrinking!" Indeed, i started to see the floor more closer and Dennis asked what happend and i couldnt respond because i was really ashame with the almost kiss and the letter, but Dennis ask me if i had a crush with Toffee and i even screamed a little and my face was burning; Dennis started to tauting with that and i felt more ashamed, and when a realise, i notice everybody was huge... I heard Dennis voice, mentioning he probably exedet a little and when i saw him, was like a gigant and he even use one of his hands to pick me up; Dennis apologise for bulling me a little, but commented that probably the size shifter are related how i was feeling...like, feeling little made me little... actually that make sense...in a way... Then the horse people started to gatter around him and ask him what i was and he responded i was a Size shifter, everybody kinda of gasp in surprise and started to mutter about it, when the owner of the inn appeared with my things and comented that was probably good news for the monsters; i apologise for crashing the inn, but the monster horse said that wasnt a problem because the inn was so old that was about being demolished the next week for builting a new one, and suddely a old horse said that he didnt heard about size shifter since Globgor... i was about to ask about it... when a lot of the dragoncicles arrive to the place and the horses monsters looked kinda scared; and then... Toffee appeared...

Im sorry for no being here for a long time, i was...

...kinda a busy... Okey, i was drowing in sadness because Toffee didnt appeared in the last episode; its not i disliked the final of SVTFOE, but man, that sucked! I mean, we wait years! YEARS! For anything about Toffee! But noooo.... Well, enough complaining and the updates; i going to put four or five chapters in this saturday and sunday, i taked a little time for making this because are the end of one season and this is going to make KABOOM!

That for now, sorry i dont bring more for being away so much time; here, a little souvenir and sorry for the quality, my camera sucks...

I was able to make it in the Horseshoe Town, and there a lot of horses in here... Monster Hourses that walk in two feet, horses with wings, horses with cat tails, simply horses, horses with fish heads... it was kinda bizzare, seeing a lot of horses, but are pretty nice; they are pretty use to see mewmans, so my apparence its kinda no big deal for them... i decide to check the market and i was able to sell a few plants for some coins. One of the kid horses saw the guitar i brougth and ask me if i can play it; i decide to play the funny song i made with the carriage horse and he liked, then more kid horses gather around me and started dancing aroung me and when the song was finished, the horses claped their hooves and give me some coins and apparently they thought traveling actor; i guess i can play some song to win some coins when i need it...

I had a dream yesterday... Its was a really bad one... I was dreaming i was dressed with a big fluffly white dress and i was walking though a red road, everybody was watching and crying for some reason, i step on some steps, but i trip and a hand hold me, before i fall... Toffee help me, like always, and he smile at me before he said "She is ready" and a pig-goat started to read a book, saying like "Do you swear, together forever and ever, in the sickness and healt, in the richest or the poorest, between you life and death, for the eternity... and nothing will cleaver you guys apart" Toffee accepted, holding my hands and said that, he always dreamed this... but then, there was a noise, like a door being banged from the other side, its was really noise, i couldnt heard anything what everybody was saying and i had a bad feeling about it, i tryied to escape, but Toffee grab my arm and he was melting in that goo, screaming at me "NEVER AGAIN" while the place was being flood by this thing. Then, behind me... i heard my mother voice... she was scoolding me like always, saying i shouldnt leave before the dinner, because was really improper for a lady; i felt sick, i just wanted to get out of there; i screamed, but there was no voice... my mother pointed that horrible chair next to her, saying how was disapointed in me and its was for the best, because a school can run by itself... I was terrified and then the goo lashes my hands pulling me in that mass, while Toffee was complaining with my mother, that he wasnt the deal, because he wanted being him the one who will use me before i was they throw me away... my mother agreed and disagreed, but her voice change to being more deeper and old like, i hate how i heard how i didnt matter for them...I couldnt holder anymore, i was scared, angry, sad and that noise in the door was getting bigger and bigger, until it opens and a that screech...

Sorry for the delay, but im stuck!! Dont worry guys, im doing my best for overcome this writer's block (I even traveling, starting to watch again the Dexter series and taking pictures more to get some inspiration); i hope you guys dont mind, but put myself at least one chapter for week, i wont abandon the fic and i will write it until the end ;D

Today i started to move out from the temple, i finished the letter to Dennis explaining what happen the other day and where i going to; i also writte a small note to Toffee if he arrives with his band... to be honest, i cant see him, my heart start temblign when i think about him and i felt my cheeks really weird... Suddenly Sir Glossaryck appeared and he said he wanted to talk with me, before i leave... he seemed very serious about it; he take me inside the temple, where the circular door was and he open the room, making me enter and he ask me to see everthing carefully. I watched what i could, the crib, the toys and the huge window the the siluet of a mewman carring a baby...but the child... i had the feeling i saw it before... Sir Glossaryk started talking, he was apologising because he wouldnt we near in this journey that i be going, this is were the teacher had to leave to their students own choises and now is were our path are cleaved... i was really sad, Sir Glossaryk was really nice to me and help me with a lot of things and i couldnt help a few tears sliped from my eyes, but Sir Glossaryck hug me and said that i be okey and if fate allow us, maybe we can see again, but even he wasnt there, i shouldnt forget about my lessons and the meditation of DipDaon

Lately the weather its getting cold and being inside of the temple its kinda difficult, the main problem its because its to big, the wind can enter in so many directions and even if a make a fire, its freezing! I started knitting a sweater with all the wool i acquire from...well, you know... the incident... i should do one for Toffee too, he always help me a lot and its the least i can do for him... But strangely enough, when i was finishing of knitting the sweaters, i heard a sound inside the temple, like something hitting the wall; i decide to check and everthing was so quiet i had some chills; but after hearing more sounds, i located where it come from; It was from a huge circular door made of metal. I was wondering how to open it, when i touched it and some weird light come from the door and i felt like something flowing from my body... and my cheeks, felt like like there were in fire

The door open with a huge light, but when i could see, there was a weird room full of baby stuff and also... a mass of black goo, in the middle of the room... It was really creepy, and kinda moving as like breathing; i didnt like it a bit, so i started to move backward,  but one my feet, move a rock and that thing kinda stop moving and and an eye showed up from that goo to see in direction and then, made a huge screech! An awfull noise coming from that thing and was so loud, that made the temple tremble; but the wost, was when started moving towars my direction and suddendly, that thing slithered across the floor so quicky that almost catch me; i was lucky when i felt a hand grabbing my arm before that thing could touch me and i saw Toffee, screaming "RUN!".

I didnt thinked twice and we run trough the stairs and that thing was follwing us behind, we could hear those nasty noise, crawling in the walls to gain speed and even destroying some part of the roof; when i felt something grabbing my foot and was taking me where that thing was and i felt how it gulped me... I cover my eyes because of the fear of being eated, but after a while, nothing happend and put down my hans and see what happend; there was...nothing... only a dark place were i could walk, while my feet still cover in that black goo; i walked a moment, when i heard somebody calling my name. I saw behind me and i saw Toffee, i ask him if he was captured by the black goo too; he saw me with surprise and quickly hug me, i call him, but he just grab me with so much force i couldnt breath so well; i commented that and he apologise while he let me go, Toffee was crying and said something like "I wanted to see you again, so badly! I...I always wanted to apologise for what i did... i just...i just wanted to...!" I was confused, i didnt know was he was talking about, then i realize... he was different...much older...when he cut his hair? I could help it and try clean his tears, but my hand was filled with goo and his body was melting, but he grab my arms with a huge force and lifted his body to look directly in my eyes.

"I WILL FIND YOU...AND YOU...WILL COME BACK...TO ME"

And... i kinda wake up? i was near to a bonfire and i look the place, i was back in the monster temple and i saw Toffee with some wood for the fire, but when he saw me, he throw the wood and runs to me, asking me if i was okey; i was afraid it was a dream again, so i touched his face to make sure and i was relief that nothing happend, but his scales started to change color and Toffee just looking me, i notice i was being weird and i apologise for breaking in his personal space, but he hold my hand and mumble... that if was me, he dont mind it... I dont know if was the exciment for before, but my heart skiped a beat and i could feel my face hot; then with one of his fingers, arrange the hair next to my cheek, putting it being my ear and smiling; i felt like the time stoped in that moment and his face starte to get closer and i...couldnt help to close my eyes...

The voice of Glossaryck was heard between us... and there his was... Toffee made a disgusted noise, while he started to cleaning his mouth with his hand and i was shooked for what i was doing! I mean...! I...I got carried away almost kiss him! Glossaryck was kinda mad and he looked at us, saying he was able to handle what it was in the temple; i ask him what was that goo and he said it was Magic, but it was so contaminated and made that goo monster. Toffee exclaimed annoyed, that probably was a the Butterfly Royalty doing, since only mewmans who can magic and that goo monster was a trap from monsters; but Glossaryck disagreed, since that thing hold some misguided time travel magic, probably was somebody else doing and he ask me if i had a idea who could do that and then... i remember...what happend in that dream About that dark place... about that Toffee... I have to ask him...but i dont know how... Toffee decide to check tomorrow the temple monster surronding with his band to search spellcaster and recomend me to find other place; I thanked for all his help and i commented i was planning to travel, but to be honest, it was a little awkard when we said goodbye since...well...we try to kiss...i dont know... the only thing i know i forget to give him the sweater... oh, snails...

So...Sir Glossaryck told me i can have some days off from the trainning, because he need "Fix some things from the incident" and he wouldnt being back for a few days... After he kinda disappeared, i decide to had a walk in the forest, located under the monster temple, to recolect something to eat; looks like i already used to the stairs, i dont get so tired when i use it and i dont care about the height, even i  can jump or run over. (But i should be so confidance, running in the star its pretty dangerous!)  i decide to go a little foward from i was used to, so i made a little basket using some leafs and branches, to recolect some fruits or plants in way; i like places like this, seeing plants or cultivating its like one of my little delights, from a long time ago and hold so many precious memories for me, (i should draw some of my favorite plants, but i not good in drawing...)

After walking a long trait, i heard the sound of water and when a get close where it sounded, i discoverd a river with a wood bridge(i wonder why i dont notice this before...) i decide to take the oportunity to fishing a little; my dad show me when a was a little, so i break a piece of wood and i  take some of the traits to make a rope, and i capture a little beatle to use it as bait and tying it to one end of the rope, then trowing it in the river and wait for the fishes to pick the little trap. You have to being patient because some fishes are pretty smart, but after a while, i was able to pick three and probably will last like two days; i had to make and other basket for the fishes, the plants arent very tasty when the fish touch them; but this walk was really succesufull... i keep on mind... that day its coming and i should get ready before i travel again...

Oh my corn... Well, all started after i was passing the middle of the montain... one of my foot slep and  i fall a few meters when something catch me; was a huge surprise when i open my eyes i find i was in dennis back, i was so glad i couldnt help to hug him, while he was landing in a place more stable. He comented something strange, he said that he recive my fist letter and writed back, but after that he never get a response, so when he had some free time, decided to visit and check if everything its okey; i responded i was glad to see him and i was doing some training by climbing the mountain, he apologise for interrumping, but i invited a tea after i get in the top, so we could talk more. Dennis accepted, saying he will be waiting in the monster temple; now i was more determined to get in the top, so i pull all my strength and continued climbing, no matter how my hand or body hurted... It was night and was climbing the last meters when i heard come noises coming from the top, and there was a the lizard boss was very angry, yelling at Dennis like: "...Its my ticket to finally get out of this swinery and i will not let you screw it!" or something like that, i was lift my body get in the top and ask what happend, but one part of the rock i was using to climb, kinda broke and i barely grab the floor; but before i fall, the little man come out of the temple, he saw me but didnt help and just looked to the lizard man and Dennis who still arguing about something, pronunicing "Guys...guys..." trying ot get their attetion when i really fell. I could help to scream, thinking that will be the end of me when i saw like the lizard boss throw Dennis at me, who raised his hand toward to me; i was able to catch it and put me in his back while he flapped his wing to raise up and getting in the top of the montain, gettin in the top and putting me in the ground, while the lizard boss, kinda push him aside and almost yelling me if i was okey. It take a moment to recover, but i responded i was fine; when the little man congratd me to able to get in the top, even i get some external help and i could able to do it quicly if i used my size-shifting powers. Dennis was surprised when he heard i was a size-shifter, saying he heard from his father those monsters could be huge as monstains or smaller like a little flee, i commented i was still training and i still wasnt able to change my size, so it wasnt a big deal, but Dennis was excited, saying if i was kidding, because the size shifter were so powerful even the royal family or the inmortal septarians respect them, but the lizard boss saying those were just rumors of the scary-cats said, that were just good combat monsters, when i asked what a septarian was and that made Dennis giggle, while the lizard boss just glare at him.

The training still continues... And todays was a test... A really hard test... The sun barely rise up, when the little man screamed to my ear to wake me; saying he through a way i can raise up my confidence, and was RAISING UP the montain... (Yeah, that wasant a really good pun) but the test consisted in climbing the montain, from the forest to the monster temple...withou using the stairs... He said i could use anything i wanted and he will be waiting in the top and i could use all the time i wanted, even days... that statment, wasnt a good signal... but i had any time to complain, when i suddlendly was in the forest with my bed and anything in my room... I decide to check the stairs, but was blocked by a invisible force and i could get there, then i just realized, i barely know anything about the little man and maybe its a wizard or something... but if is the case, why wizard would be helping a monster? Ohh, that very bad, i could escape, but something tell me i should try the test, i did it... I dressed, i equiped myself and i check the mail box (I still wating for Dennis letter, without any sucesses, maybe i should visit the monster town...or maybe not, i hate that place) and i started climbing; its pretty difficult, some part can break easy or the rocks are pretty slippy! But i had to do it, so i had to go on... I was near to the middle and i saw something weird, there was a like a skeleton, but it was kinda arrenged like a instrument, i was wondering where it could come from, when i realize it was located in a very stable place; i pull out my stretgh so was able to reach there; i could help to take that thing, by the strings, i guess its a guittar? I wonder how get in here? But its was getting pretty late and climbing in the night doesnt sound like a good idea, so i going to rest here and taking the guitar with me, probably will be a waste if a left it here and like how it sound.

So, with a little sun to write, and playing a guitar, i guess i sleep, util the morning peaks? I dont know, i not good in with rhymes...
