Gaias Glen

[Gaias_child]

Emerges from the enterior of the cottage,her head covered by the hood of her cape that billows out around her in the cold breeze..the glen trees now bare of there leaves,the fir trees still green but the quills of their branches drawn inward towards them to ward off the winter chill.

Stepping out into the cold air,her feet covered in leather boots,she moves to the fire pit and stokes a new fire until it is bursting with heat and welcoming comfort.

 

[Gaias_child]

*sits beside the roaring fire...eyes unblinking as she stares into the flames...the sounds of the winter surround her...the stream slows as ice forms across the top of the water..the waterfall making crystal towers at its base

 

[Gaias_child]

*stands on the step of her cottage and looks aorund at the quiet glen

*leaves freshbaked pies on the windowsill*

 

[Gaias_child]

*walks along the frozen creek bank..her body covered with her woolen cloak,her hair covered by the thick hood against winter's icy kiss. The glen's summer animals fewer for the chill seem to stop and watch as she wlaks silently ...deep in thought

 

[yeishia]

I slip and slither along the frozen creek bank trying to sneak up on her I am failing miserably as I slide into her back almost knocking us both on the the ice.

I am woefully under dressed for the weather not having envisioned that I might actually have to go out in search of her.

Small drops of frozen snow cling to my eyelashes and my slender fingers are frozen. I feel no discomfort as I try and right us, my laughter light and airy on the icy wind my eyes alight with merriment...

Oppps I seem to be falling for you! I tell her clinging on for dear life.

 

[Gaias_child]

*giggles and turns..wrapping my cloak around us both as we stand there on the frozen water,hugging each other tightly

*places a light kiss on the tip of her nose as I brush the ice flecks from your skin

 

[Gaias_child]

*leads the chilled Miss wrapped into her cloak and leads her back towards the cozy cottage. Opening the door leads Yeishia into her most inner sactum. The room alit with a fire pit in the center of the floor,the walls wooden and woven with threads from the trees,mud encases the grooves t o keep out the wind and rains.

The pillows lined around the pit in a flourish of colors,motioning for her to sit down where she wished before settling down next to her.

 

[yeishia]

I glance around i the place she leads me too it speaks of welcome, relaxing I sink onto my knees not letting go of her hand as I bring her with me, smiling I thank her for my welcome..no words are needed as my eyes search hers....

 

[Gaias_child]

*smiles and reaches up to stroke her cheek softly,almost a feather touch.

* leaning close My lips trail across her cheek just as softly before pulling her close to me and settling before the fire

 

[yeishia]

I settle beside her my arms entwining with hers I am smiling content it almost feels like I Have come home at last....

"Gaia" I whisper my eyes searching hers.

 

[Gaias_child]

I look down upon her face..no words are spoken as I press my lips softly against hers..my arms wrapping her into my embrace

 

[yeishia]

I melt into her arms as her warmth starts to creep from my cold limbs until soon it is warming every inch of me inside and out. The soft pressure of her lips is met by mine.

My whole being feels like it is smiling.....

 

[yeishia]

Gaia I wish you a most beautiful New Year filled with love and joy.

​

 

[yeishia]

I have missed my friend as she battles her real world demons.
I slowly make my way to her cottage enjoying the tranquility of the walk to leave her a small gift.

*soft footsteps sound as I slowly walk into the clearing..Not much has changed here in my absence,some of the small trees have grown taller. The small fawns from last visit were now grown does and bucks romping thru the grasses. the waterfall still shimmered its bright brilliance as I stop and kneel beside the softly gurgling waters.

Leaning down I trail my fingertips into its cool depths,small fish dart away at the intrusion. I smile softly as I lift my head,smelling the freshness around me. A freshness that no city can compare too. A place where I can come and be myself,let true life become myself once more.
