The wingless Gargirl, or 'lamara' as her subspecies was known, closed her eyes. Delightful thoughts of her beginnings on these beautiful and romantic tropical isles, one hundred or so years ago, filled her head . Although her origins were from Eastern Europe, or to be more precise, far below the Bohemia Valley, it was during a rare "Grand Vacation" to the "Far West", that the petite but enormously strong creature discovered the lush and green Hawaiian Islands. With her first steps, she immediately fell in love with the land. Was it the sheer beauty and awe of the lush tropical forests, steep green mountainsides and cliffs? Or was it the warrior like attitude and demeanor of the people themselves? Or......was it both?

For whatever the reason, the quick, agile, lamara abandoned all thoughts of returning to her homeland and took up immediate residence on a nearby secluded mini island off the "Garden Island" of Kauai. It was a perfect home to live and hunt from... no one lived there and no one cared whether it existed or not
