Welcome to Gaia! ::

Abraxas bounded energetically toward the clearning. His pink hue was a sight to see under sharp fangs and pointed horns. He'd been the butt of many of joke due to his coloring and his upbringing, but he was grown now and had ventured out on his own. Abraxas stopped suddenly when a tiny blue mouse scurried out in front of him. He nearly stepped on the thing, and cursed his genetic conscience for forcing him to stop. When he looked up, he spotted the female seated atop the rock.

"Hey there!" he called toward her. Abraxas had never met a fellow demon before.

The pink demon walked toward the female, encouraged by her response. His mother had always warned him not to associate with others of his kind, but this girl seemed to be friendly. He was not expecting friendly, but he was expecting acceptance from other demons of Faetasia.

"Uhh...I'm Abraxas" he said slowly, "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

It was a silly thing to ask, considering he was doing the same thing.

((That's a thought! I may continue mate-hunting for him, but if he's still available when that happens, I would love to breed him into a family with good traits. It would work well for him plot-wise.))

Abraxas watched the butterfly flutter about, his face calm but somewhat confused.

"I was actually looking for other demons. My mother says I was blessed...or cursed...by the demi-god, Puck. I'm the only demon in my family, and they've tried very hard to keep me from meeting others like me. They've told me some horror stories about the evils of demons...but...you don't seem to fit their description at all!"

"Yeah...he could have made my brother like me...although..." Abraxas chuckled, "My poor mother had enough trouble with just one of us around!"

He shook his head with a grin, imagining what growing up would have been like, then shrugged his shoulders.

"I guess Puck knew what he was doing, though. I'm out in the world now, ready to learn what it really means to be a demon. My mother always said it was a curse...but this is the way the gods wanted it!"

Abraxas moved closer to the rock now, feeling much more at ease.

"Uh.." Abraxas stopped in his tracks, "That's true, I guess. Did you...want to be alone?"

It had only just occurred to him that he'd stumbled upon this girl while she was relaxing on her own. Perhaps he had disturbed her, or overstayed his welcome.

"Well...I guess that's true, too."

Abraxas hesitated a moment, and then continued his stride toward the rock. He plopped down on a patch of grass at the base of it and leaned back, placing his hands behind his head.

"That's a pretty cool trick you do, making those mice and butterflies appear. How'd you learn to do that?"

"Well...I can do a couple of little things I use to play tricks on my family..."

Abraxas snapped his fingers, and the female's hair sparked and caught a small blaze. It fizzled out quickly though, since he wasn't trying to cause any alarm.

"But the thing I'm really good at is making people believe things when they aren't true. If I tell a lie, people just have to believe it."
