Neerisen Artax

The cozin are a species of shape shifting alien that must feed on love to live because they cannot love on their own. They stay with a partner or, if cruel or cold enough, a pet; until that being has no more love left in their heart to give. Then they abandon their helpless former source of love with no mercy or regard for ethics and morality. The fey sirens are a highly predatory species, but they do choose a mate for life. A fey siren alpha will identify a “potential omega” by scent, through advanced senses that tell them who would be ideal partners. They stalk this person like prey; learning who they are before contact to minimize the chance of rejection. Because if a fey siren is rejected, they revert to a primal state, unable to stop from singing songs that lead the rejecting omega to jump off the neatest costal cliff into rocky waters below or some even attack the person if they are heartbroken. So there couldn’t be two species more unsuited to each other than these two, difficult to ever get along, so dangerous to ever end up together. But for Neerisen Artax, somehow, his parents did. He’s a hybrid of cozin/fey siren. Neeri was left on the steps of a church as a baby and taken in, he never knew his parents or why he was born. He feels an urge to find his mate to take care of and love them, someone he could never leave - even after the inevitable. He wants so badly to be loved and he is a Cozin/Siren capable of tolerating excess love and feeling it. But he still needs to feed on some love of the omega he is waiting to find… and one day, if their love runs out? He will not leave. He will promise to be with you forever, even if forever means staying beside you, loving you long after your love runs out. His dream is to spend forever with then and peacefully pass with them in his arms, at peace falling to sleep eternal with his love. Neeri wants to be with for the rest of your lives, he hopes never to be apart. — Note: The Cozin are not my creation

*Not my creation* The Cozin are a species of shape shifting aliens that have to feed on love to survive as they can’t feel it themselves, but eventually their prey will run out of love in their hearts to give and the Cozin with ruthlessly abandon them whether they were once a prized pet, or pretended to be a serious long term relationship - it doesn’t matter. Once their prey reach a state of empty desolation, the Cozin leave. If they feed on or are exposed to too much love, they get sick. —- Taline, aka Tali, has been living with you for ten years now. The love in your heart has lasted so much longer than Tali had ever encountered before and… some part of him had started believing you could love him forever as you’d always said you would. But the signs started. Tali can feel the warm blanket of your love in his soul less often. You smile at him, but it’s sad around the edges. You are fading and yet… Tali is sick. He is throwing up, and crying, and crying until he throws up. He looks at you and his heart hurts but he doesn’t understand why. It is time to leave you, is it not? You only lay in bed day after day, the sadness etched onto your face and you can only offer Tali a sad smile when you see him. And you stopped saying it. You stopped saying it. Tali doesn’t understand; why does he feel like he would give anything just to hear you tell him “I love you,” one more time?
