Description or short fanmade story:
There used to be a village visited by an Aurleon in the early days of spring. Whenever it visited, without fail, there would be no more snow until the next winter. While we know today that Aurleon have a good sense for weather, and that the Aurleon described would have wanted to avoid cold weather due to its thinner feathers, the people of that village believed that the Aurleon ended the winter by its arrival. It was a majestic Sylesti, with a crest that glowed and tail feathers unusually long for its species. A villager made it a necklace of petals to show her appreciation, and the Aurleon wore it every year after that.

One year, a traveler encountered the Aurleon and caught it. This was not sad for the Aurleon, because it liked the traveler and the many other Sylesti in his stables. However, when spring came to that village, the villagers waited a long time for the Aurleon to appear, but it never did. The elders feared that spring would never come, and indeed, it was a strange spring. It would appear to be warm for days on end, but a sudden squall would appear in the middle of the night, covering the ground in frost.

Just when they had given up hope, one of the elders made a speech. She noticed that, while the path to spring had not been entirely without cold, it was making progress. There had been years like this before, when cold had swept in just as winter was finally thought to be over.

Sure enough, as the weeks passed, flowers began to spring out of the ground and the days grew warmer. The villagers carved a statue in memory of the Aurleon who signaled spring, but they no longer needed to rely on it.

Bump!

Description or short fanmade story:

Topaz walked down the path slowly. There was something he was supposed to do. Something he was supposed to see. Something he was supposed to find. The only problem was that he didn't know what.

He had first felt it this morning. It was a soft, tangy feeling. Not annoying, just... strange. It had lasted up until now, and he had a feeling it wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

Sapphire flashed a small smile to the butterfly. Even though it couldn't see her, much less understand what a smile was, it still felt nice.

She let out a soft sigh. Nobody was here.

It wasn't like anyone was supposed to be here. She has been alone here for ages.

But, it almost felt like it would be different. Someone would fill the empty hole that had been sitting inside her life ever since her brother, Topaz, had dissapeared.

Topaz jerked up, suddenly alert. Something, no, someone was here.

"Who are you?" Topaz barked nervously. What if it was those people who had taken him away from his sister, Sapphire, all those years ago? What would they do if they found him now that he had already escaped once?

Sapphire glanced up at the nervous barking sound. Probably just some pups playing some game or something.

Then the voice came again. "Show yourself!"

Sapphire laughed softly before clamping her mouth shut. What was she doing? The same Sylesti's that has kidnapped Topaz might be here!

But then again, Topaz might be there as well. Was it worth it to turn herself in, just for the chance to see her brother again?

Topaz trembled. "No. You are not afraid of some Sylesti hiding behind a bush or something," he muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a soft giggle rang out like the slow trickle of the stream. Then it stopped short.

Topaz went cold. What had happened? Had the kidnappers just napped a small pup?

Anger burned through him, and he charged through the bushes.

Branches started loudly snapping, and Sapphire froze. What if-

She didn't give herself time to finish the though. She leaped behind a rock, and hoped that she wouldn't be spotted.

Topaz stared at the clearing. Somebody was just here. He could feel it on every hair of his body.

He swallowed hard before tilting his head up. "I want to see you. Show yourself."

Sapphire knew it was over. They had found her. If she cam willingly, then they might not hurt her so badly.

She took a deep breath, and then stepped into the light.

Topaz gasped as the figure stepped out from behind a rock. "S-s-s" he couldn't make his mouth say the word.

His sister was staring a him the same way. "Topaz?"

It was almost like Sapphire had offered Topaz the entire world. His body slowly unfroze, and his face broke into a grin.

Then, without warning, he shot out and rubbed his body into hers.

Shocked, Sapphire tumbled down, a real smile spreading slowly across her face. Topaz was here. They were together at last.

So... I know you might've spent a lot of time on that story, but the theme for everything is Spring/Easter. I'll add your design, just not the story for now.

Okay.
