It was the Autum Ball at the Brightvale castle. Neopets dressed in their very best arrived her from all over Neopia. Young women dressed in the finest medieval fashions arrived on the arms of young men in handsome gold-encrusted fancies.
The full and bright moon shone in the beautiful cloudless sky, casting a romantic spell on everyone. The outside gardens filled with trees fountains were the perfect place to meet your lover.
It was already nearing 10:00 pm, and yet more and more people poured into the ball, dancing on the marble ballroom. Two zafaras, a male and a female, had just arrived and were causing quite a comotion. The male had flown there with his sister on feathered wings, but as they landed they had caught a young woman's gown and ripped the back.
She was forced home by her partner, and the female zafara went with them to see if she could fix the gown. Her brother has stayed, walking directly to the gardens.
Fallon the Angel Zafara sat, his head resting in his paws. The slight breeze ruffled the pure white feathers in his wings, causing a few of them to come loose and fly away. Fallon had only come here to make his sister happy- she seemed so depressed since he had become busy with being a guardian angel.
And yet, here he was, alone as usual.

Already in the garden was a island zafara. The island zafara had a black dress with ruffled ends that reached her knees; the dress being strapless. The zafara sat on a small boulder. One leg was crossed over the other. The zafara's weight rested on the hands that was behind her which gave her an angle to look up at the sky. White markings were over the zafara's arms and legs. Black-blue hair was quite wavy and ran to mid-back. Purple-blue eyes looked up at the moon. There was a gold hoop in each of her zafara ears. Gold cuffs clung to the zafara's wrists. A slim gold necklace hung around her neck with a gold jetsam tooth at the end; a symbol of her tribe.
The zafara didn't seem to mind coming alone. In fact, it didn't look like she was planning on going inside. She stayed outside; not seeming to care about the breeze. The zafara hummed the soprano tune of 'Dearest'; not noticing anyone else was around.

Fallon sighed, looking up into the sky. The moon shone bright on his wings that were still loosing feathers. Normally I wouldn't loose so many, He thought. but being alone and in full human form isn't the best for me. He gently plucked a feather and held it in front of him.
"Unless Serenity comes back, I have no need to be here." he muttered, letting the feather fly from his hands.
As the wind carried the feather, it flew in the direction of the island zafara.

Scratch, scratch, scratch...
The sounds of something scraping against the boulder dispersed through the night air. Then it stopped for a few minutes. It then continued; the sounds got louder and louder, closer to the female Zafara.
All of the sudden, a loud voice rang out. "I'm almost to the top o' this boulder, Bahalt!"
Another, yet more quiet voice, responded to the first.
"Okay, Clay. Do no' take a long time up there; we 'ave teh get back soon!"
"Right-o!"
A large hand appeared at the ledge of the boulder. Then another. Soon, the hands were lifting a wholebody onto the stone. He was breathing a little heavier than normal. He was on his hands and knees, regaining his energy.
His curious sapphire eyes flicked up to the other Zafara. "Oh... allo..." He greeted, sitting up. He brushed off his blue overcoat and sighed.
"Didn' think anyone else would be up 'ere..." He trailed off, his eyes drifting to her chest.
"Hm. What size are ye?"

The zafara turned her head to see the zafara who had climbed up onto the boulder. The zafara gave Clay a glare, "You perv! That's the worst thing anyone could ask a girl!" The zafara moved her hands which her weight was resting on off the boulder, "Do you have brain problems or something?"

Clay stood and balanced on the boulder. "Actually, it's no'. Trust me." He looked down at the other Zafara and tilted his head. "Nae. last I checked, I had a perfectly healthy mind... How 'bout ye?" He inquired, sitting back down.
From his overcoat, he pulled out a canteen of ale. He heartily began to drink from it. At one point, he offered the canteen to the other. "Care fer a drink, lass?"

|Zafara-splosion! xD|
Fallon looked in the direction from where he heard speech. He saw a large rock with two other zafaras, one female and the other male. The female looked unhappy as the male talked. Standing up, he brushed his white tunic off and made his way to the others.
"Is there a problem?" he asked, feeling the wind carry off a few more feathers.

"Yes, my brain is fine." The zafara said as her expression and tone didn't seem to change. "No thanks. I don't take drinks from strangers." The zafara said as she waved a hand. The zafara's glance shifted to Fallon, "Unless you count random zafaras appearing, then no, I don't think so."

"Eh. The folks around 'ere are so strange," muttered Clay as he took another swig from the canteen. He glanced briefly at Fallon then looked to the female Zafara again.
"Random Zafara? Hardly. I've been comin' to this rock for a while now. I believe yer the random Zafara here!" He protested.

"Perhaps you wouldn't mind me joining you, then." Fallon said, flapping his great wings to lift him onto the rock. "A rock is a rock, not a place to call strangers. And I do belive one of the reasons for this ball is to meet new people. And on that note, my name is Fallon."

Clay looked oddly at Fallon. "Barclay," he said before returning to his drink. "My brother is somewhere inside... no' sure where," he said with a shrug.
Clay muttered something darkly under his breath. Something along the lines of "She started it."

((-was getting ready to go with her grandpa-))
"Whatever." The zafara said as she rested her hands in her lap, "And my name is Akeminess." Akeminess blinked, "Oh yeah...I forgot that the ball was going on." She said quietly. She was drifting off in her own thoughts for so long that she forgot.

Fallon grinned at Akeminess. "I almost forgot too, since my sister left." Fallon agreed. looking over at the alcohol in Clay's hand, he shifted away from him. "I'm not so good with either alcohol or caffine. Unless you want to be flirted with and complimented insanely, I'd better stick to water."

Clay blinked and also shuffled away. "No, I don' want ye flirtin' with me..." He said, looking away. He sighed and slid down the rock and thudded to the ground.
"People takin' my rock..." He mumbled before heading to the castle.
