There is, in fact, nothing more than a large pool of water, fed by a stream trickling past your feet, though you notice a glint of what seems to be something gold just beyond. Before you can get a better look, however, an elegant blue back breaks the surface of the water. You glance downward, surprised to see movement within the pond, and the large fish turns in a graceful circle to meet your gaze, his eyes calm and knowing. "Welcome to Hasana's garden, visitor. I am Skarra, first of the fish residing in these waters and guardian of the garden. My lady uses this place to give a new home and new life to those from other realms whose ponds grew too cramped. This is a place of peace; please do not reach into the waters and disrupt the fish within. If you would raise your own, follow the edge around past the awards, and you will find portals to the realms from whence these fish came." Skarra's info can be found at the bottom of the page. Swimming with Skarra are a variety of fish. A River Skipper, recognizable by his vivid red back, seems to be entertaining himself by blowing bubbles upward and watching them pop on the surface of the water. A small goldfish swirls past him, blowing her own bubbles, while an unusually colored blue goldfish meanders more slowly behind her. Peering down into the water, you can just barely make out a tiny blue-finned fish circling slowly around the bottom. An oyster rests below as well, partially open, and you spot the faint glimmer of a pearl inside. Near the surface, their scales glinting in the light, a silver fish and a colorful rainbow fish slip past each other, eyeing you with curious gazes. There is no plushie to be seen. Noticing your searching glances, Skarra guesses their origin with eerie accuracy and emerges beside you to explain that, though every Flion to come to the Realms is offered their choice of the plushies in the hatchery stash, Hasana declined the offer. She is a simple soul who has no particular need or desire for material items, and would rather leave the plushies in the Hatchery for the little ones. Up ahead, however, at the back of the pool, you see again the hint of gold that caught your attention earlier. While living in her first home, Hasana won the second Racing Contest (June 2006) at Garden Terrace. When the time came for her to leave her home and find another in the Realms, ddpej encouraged her to bring the trophy and certificate along. They sit now on a small ledge beside the pool, propped up carefully and secured with smooth rocks, a treasured reminder of her past and of her abilities. <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> Name: Skarra Meaning: Memory Gender: Male Species: Spekkio Homeland: Clearwater Back <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> Oyster and Goldfish (C) Twiluu River Skipper (C) The Nameless Forest Bubbles and small blue-finned fish (C) ddpej Flions, Awards, and other fish (C) Jewel of Sanori Gardens <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~ <~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~> ~>
