Adulthood Ceremony

An air gurgle is considered a child until it turns twenty human years old. When a gurgle is twenty it is eligible for an adulthood ceremony. Any time after she turns twenty, a gurgle will receive an invitation to her adulthood ceremony. There are six ceremonies a year. At a ceremony, there is a banquet for all the eligible gurgles. Once they finish eating, the gurgles are called up one by one to see what their role in the air gurgle society and to officially be relieved of their mother's name. After every gurgle has gone, they fly around the entire Air Realm. They then return back to the Hall of Stairs, where the ceremonies take place. As they approach the oracle, they either say "I pledge myself to the life of gurgles", or "I sacrifice my life to live amongst humans". Those who choose to leave the Air Realm are each sent to a different town on earth. Those who stay continue their normal lives until the end of the season, and they begin their lives as full members of the Air Realm Society.

Just to clarify, the redhead in the last comic WAS Ginger. Mi Ching's adventures take place a few years after Ginger's started.

Mi Ching's Secret

The Air Realm

  Mi Ching Gurgle is an air gurgle monster who lives in the air realm. The air realm is where most air gurgle monsters choose to live, although they can live on earth. The gurgle monsters in the air realm live in greek-like temples called "Camas". The inside is decorated similarly to a human home. Time in the air realm passes faster than it does in the human realm. The human realm is only accessible by an invisible staircase that only gurgles can see. The staircases are built in every Cama and in the Hall of Stairs, but they can only be opened by a meditating air gurgle. Although time moves faster in the air realm, air gurgles age the same as humans. So to them they live longer than humans (although that isn't really the truth [even though the longest living creature is currently an air gurgle]). Any human who enters the air realm alone is very respected, for not many can find a staircase. Okay, no human has found a staircase. The air realm is made up of cloud cities, which are groups of clouds that hold many gurgle homes and shops. Mi Ching lives in a cloud city called Jivo. The only ones who can live in the Air Realm are air gurgles, so any others who enter must wear a breathing implant, which is a sticker that you stick to the roof of your mouth. Human slaves who live there have a permanent implant which is surgically placed in the roof of your mouth. There are also schools for gurgles in the Air realm, where gurgles learn how to fly, avoid humans, meditate, and basically everything else they need. Air gurgles can fly only in the air realm. In the air realm it still precipitates, but from the ground instead of the sky.
