Acrolaw... open...

[LadyChance]

Myst

After walking for a time, she knew not how long. Myst found herself stopping every so often to look behind her feeling as if something, someone was there. Not seeing anyone she continues walking, picking up rumble moving it about. Unsure of what she is really doing but just needing to do something, wanting to feel at peace. Finally deciding it wasn't doing her any good Myst heads quietly towards the far off forest. Away from where everyone else would be. She needed to speak with her goddess asking for guidance and maybe some peace. Stepping into the quiet of the forest, welcoming the sounds of the night as they embrace her.

Finding a clearing of sorts, Myst sits down crossing her legs. Calling deeply within her using her astonishingly beautiful voice softly appealing them to hear her."Come to me goddess I implore you, I have need of thee. Please answer my pleas and know that your child awaits with open arms. So I ask it, so mote it be." Remaining still feeling for the knowing warmth, letting her know that the Lady had heard her.
The answer was slow in coming, almost so slight Myst barely felt it. Asking in her softest of whispers, "Why am I here Goddess... am I here to see all this damage to feel the pain of loss. To know that I do not fit in with those here? Am I always to stand alone, always alone?" Knowing she was committing a sin against her Goddess but unable to stop herself from asking all the same.

Myst didn't realize she was crying until the first tears hit her arm. Then she couldn't seem to stop, tho not once did she make a sound. When the tears finally ceased to fall, Myst felt numb. As if all the pain had been washed away, leaving her to feel nothing but peace. "Is this to be my answer then dear Lady?" Within her came the answer, one she had sought for. *smiling softly* "Yes, M'Lady.. I shall and I will." Standing, turning to return to town hoping that no one would notice her absence.

 

[Donsehan]

As he was walking around, he felt it more than anything else. A conjuring of power, he moved swiftly towards its source. He jumped back up into the trees when he realized it was in the forest, he also realized that he had told Myst to go into the forest to look for him, maybe it was her, maybe not. In anycase, if it wasn't her, he thought as he drew his transparent weapons, I should be prepared. He hopped from tree to tree, until he got to the source. To his surprise he found Myst there.

He jumped down calling a lot of wind to slow his fall. He landed in front of her, So, did you want to fly? he intruded upon her mind, as he gave her a grin.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Somehow Myst knew Starblade would find her so this time he did not surprise her. Actually it gave her a warm feeling, someone was looking for her. Using her mind speak, " I would indeed love to fly but I do not want to wear you out. Tomorrow promises to be a very long day and I would not want to harm you." Forming a smile in her mind, so that he might know that he had made her night.

The Goddess had indeed answered her plea, her salvation was in becoming one with those she called friends. Peace would come to her the more she found herself in her friends. Reaching out softly to place a gentle hand upon Starblades arm, "Thank you for all that you do."

 

[Donsehan]

hahahaha Rayet just laughed at the thought of tiring himself out. Myst, tiring me out isn't quite that simple. I have been without a full cycle of rest in a while. I won't be tired if unless I do maybe 5 ressurections today. He places his hand on hers, and grins So do you want to fly?

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Gently taking Starblades hand in hers Myst gives a small nod of her head before mind speaking. "Yes, show me please I want to be free." Closing her eyes waiting but for what she is unsure of, willing to just trust in Starblade and the unknown.

 

[Donsehan]

He looked at her eyes, large as they were. He felt a slight shift in magic as he realized there was something more to this woman.

He hid his feelings, and smiled at her Well Myst you'll have to wait, he threw off his cloak to reveal the weaponry on his back, which he took the clips off and the harnesses fell to the ground dropping all his odd transparent weapons to the ground. He placed them to the side, and kneeled down. Speaking aloud "Aerdie Faenya, lava'amin anwa nevaa sila." Large feathery wings burst out of his back, he grew another foot from his five, and the wings stretched over his head by a number of feet.

He touched Myst's shoulder, and chanted "Faenya onare raaman" Wings burst out of her back, much like his. The mother of the winds has given you wings, come, stretch them out and fly with me. he told her, as he bent low and looked up, and jumped soaring through the air.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Myst was not prepared for Starblade to disrobe as he had. Nor was she prepared for either set of wings, the ones on her back being the main item. Somewhat amazed some fearful she looks to Starblade, "How do I fly she asks, should I remove my cloak as well." Asking a little hesitatingly the latter part still afraid to reveal all to anyone.

 

[Donsehan]

He chuckled, as he hovered there, Use your shoulders, I don't need to take off my other clothes bcaues they have slits in the back for this very purpose, now you know a secret about me and my people.

He flapped a little lower, and offered her a hand to help her up.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Looking to Starblade confused for a moment before mind speaking to him, "But do I need to remove my cloak and such of will it hinder my movement?" Experimenting with moving her shoulders back and forth up and down. Wondering at the feel of the wings on her back and the freedom just a hand away.

Placing her hand in Starblades trusting in someone else other then herself for the first time in a long time. "Show me the wonders please." Moving her shoulders imitating his motions with ones of her own. Myst felt her feet leave the ground almost throwing herself off balance. Then straightening herself out, feeling like a small child who has just been handed a precious gift.

 

[Donsehan]

Yes we'll have to remove that won't we. He told her as he eyed her cloak, he called some wind to push the cloack away, and started to chant "sul sul ka naa sul naa sul" Slowly a large wind, started to spin around them and he told her Spread your wings and hang on!! This is the best part of life, and hurry because the wings I've conjured for you won't last long. As he spread his wings and she mimicked his movements they were thrown high into the air. The forest shrinking into a green blot of land and the village barely able to be seen.

WHOO!!! This is what my people live for. and a sad look came over his face. As he closed his eyes briefly, and opened them and smiled at her, You said you wanted to fly, what do you think?

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

As the cloak is swept aside Myst's body comes into view, her white hair and gleaming black fur showing her for who she truly was. But the gift from Starblade made her forget it all, the freedom she felt the wonder. Laughing as she had never done in her life Myst looked below them wanting to see it all. If she only had a few minutes to enjoy this then she would make sure to remember if for the rest of her life no matter how ever long it was.

Mind speaking with Starblade the awe clearly heard through their communication. "This is magnificent I wish to stay here forever and always. Thank you for this so precious of gifts, it truly is amazing." Hooting and hollering to match Starblade's letting the adrenaline course through her blood. Giving her the rush of a lifetime. Keeping her mind open so that Starblade could understand all that he had given her.

 

[Donsehan]

Rayet looked at her, wondering for the first time what exactly what she was, at first he thought she was human, and now he realized in full that how wrong he was.

It had been a while, he left her to glide on the winds he'd called and dived as fast as he could, he cupped his hands to his mouth and called out like an eagle, he seemed to feel her unbridled joy. He swept himself up feeling the rush of air as he pulled himself out of the dive barely above the treetops, he heard them call back, he saw in the distance, miles out, giant eagles. He called out again as he came back up to join Myst.

Can you see those birds? He said as he pointed off in the distance as he rejoined her. They are the companions of the people, special riders and calls are given to those decorated of the people. Only my people grew up with them always around, they're a wonder to behold.

As the birds got closer, their true sizes were revealed, with wingspans of over 20 feet, these birds were large enough for mounting. He smiled, melancholily at the two that decided to join them. Enjoy the gifts of the mother while you can, those wings don't last very long.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Incredible, was the only word Myst could think of. The feeling of peace stealing over her, total unconditional understanding. Mind speaking to Starblade, thank you again I can not say that enough to you. You must have had a unbelievable childhood." As her words left her mouth Myst wished she could take them back. For the peace was shattered as memories of her mother came in crashing around her.

Stiffening her chin and trying very hard to not show how her thoughts had turned for the worst. Myst glides as close as she dares to one of the great birds. Almost as if to race it, luxuriating in the feel of flying. Being this close to a creature of the sky and sharing it with them. The birds were beautiful she had to agree, but to her there was nothing more beautiful then a creature you could not be.

 

[Donsehan]

He closed his eyes as those thoughts his mind. "An unbelievable childhood . . ." He could think nothing more of it, unbelievable as it was. He covered his face and turned around choosing to fly under Myst. Unbelievable it was, I doubt you would believe what it was like, very few of the people believed it, yet her I am I am what noone believes is possible.

He flew over to one of the birds, flying ahead of it and matching speeds so he could stroke it, he stroked it lovingly, Aerdrie why?? he thought, he then turned to Myst I'm going to go back to the ground, I wouldn't suggest flying too far. Your wings will dissapear when the sun reaches its highest point. He glided to her and handed her a jewel which he retrieved out of the sleeve. Before then you must get back, to find your way back to the clearing, use this place it against your forehead and it will lead you to it's sister jewel, not the one on my head, but one I will place near your cloak and my weapons.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

"No please I do not wish to stay up here alone." Fear stealing into her voice through the communication. Myst refuses to take the offered gem instead heading back to earth.

"I thank you for your gift it truly was wonderous for me to feel the freedom of something that has been beyond my reach for all of my life." Mind speaking to Starblade as she lands softly on the ground to retrive her cloak placing it carefully around the wings on her back. Almost as if they are the most precious treasure, to her tho they will leave soon. "Again thank you Blessings be upon you, for your gift to me. No one has ever done such for me."

 

[Donsehan]

your welcome, but thank you for not prolonging that, um wait before you go, or else you'll have those wings stuck on you until the sun reaches it's highest point in the sky. He grabbed her hand and took the jewel and tapped it at the highest point on each wing three times and said "templasul" and the wings dissapeared, the only indications of their presence were feathers that were slowly falling to the ground.

He handed the jewel back to her, it's purple polished surface glittered brightly and the magic within it burned through him. This is no ordinary jewel, if you ever want to find me, just think of the sky and I will be able to hear you and should I choose appear. Another thing, should you choose to take to the air again you must vow you never tell anyone of this. He looks her in the eye with great weight in his eyes I would be killed for this, you can simply say "winged elves he said through his mind and out of his mouth came "avariel" in the musical language he always spoke in, at the same time. Then you must say: thank you, again he spoke out loud at the same time "diolle" and lastly, Mother of the Wind "Aerdrie Feanya"

he repeated it to her, "avariel, diolle, Aerdrie Feanya" Do not let anyone see you do this, and do not tell anyone, I could be sought to the ends of the worlds and to the heavens for this, for execution.

 

[LadyFairy]

Tasha watched as Justin put out the fire, and started to walk away. Looking to Grok as she stood she said. Please excuse me for a moment Grok. i fear i have some how upset our friend.

Following quietly after Justin to give him a little space, before she approched him Tasha wonderd what she had said to upset him. Quietly Calling out to him so that he new she was there...She said standing just behinde him.

Justin I am sorry if my word's upset you. They were not ment to do so.

Tasha turned Suddenly hearing, and seeing sevral bird's in the air at once. Made Tasha wonder what was headed their way Now. Twas to far North for most dragon's. Wolves wouldnt stir up this large a number of Birds....90% of the catmen were dead...there were other creatur's of corse....

Waiting, and listinging quietly. Tasha thought it odd that the only sound being made was that of the Bird's. Quickly heading for the building grabbing her bow, and arrow's from inside.

She still had her brother's sword at her side, but wanted the bow and arrow's to be on the safe side as she headed in the direction of the bird's. Looking ahead she could see that Grok, and Justin were already headed in that direction as well.

 

[hybirdx]

Justin began to walk away, still in a trance. 'Justin, I am sorry if my word's upset you. They were not ment to do so.'

Justin quickly snapped out of his trance. And looked at Tasha. "No, its not that.. Its just..." Justin was quickly cut off by birds flying out of the sky. 'What the...' Tasha was off running for her bow, and Justin instictively hit the trees and lept for the spot he heard all of the commotion. He landed in the opening and sniffed around. But didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

"I don't see anything... And I don't smell anything out of the ordinary either..."

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Repeating the words to herself several times, Myst palmed the gem thinking she needed to find some leather. It was to precious of a gift to lose and she was going to make sure she didn't.

Reaching down to collect some of her wings feathers Myst quickly attached them in her hair. Twining them within her hair, "there now I have the memory of this night with me always." Taking Starblades hand softly, "Thank you so much I will protect your secrets with my life."

 

[Donsehan]

I just hope that your life is enough to protect me from what I have done, I'm going to go back now, do you want a lift?

He looked at her as he started raising ppower again feeling the forest teem with a sudden burst of energy. "lava lle" He started as he watched her for a response.

 

[LadyChance]

Myst

Looking to Starblade mind speaking, " No I will walk it this way if no one knows that you and I were together like this then you are safe." Releasing Starblades hand Myst pulled her cloak closely in around her covering her hair and body.

Listening closely Myst, quickly moves futher into the cover of the forest. "They come, go quickly so no one knows.. Thank you again I will not allow any harm to come to you if I can help it." Slipping further back to become a shadow in the trees blending in.

Turning without looking back Myst runs in a circle around the area, being swift and silent. Making sure that no trail is left to be seen. Again mindspeaking softly to Starblade, "Thank you again you are a very special friend and I am proud to have you as my friend."

 

[Donsehan]

He nodded to her and finished the spell, "mankellye naaie antaoo" He materialized on the roof of the shelter, and was looked about as Justin and the red haired lady were talking. Still unsure what to do, he dropped down to the ground and queried Justin You seem alarmed about something.

 

[Nickalis]

Watching Tasha walk after Justin, Grok could not help but feel a rush of happyness at her exceptance of him, then seeing her attintion caught by what looked like birds growing larger by the secound, Grok jump to his feet, pulled out and loaded his sling as he headed for into the woods.

Trying to keep the birds in sight as he ran threw the woods Grok felt a familur presance, sliding to a halt he asked of the darkness "you have nothing to fear from me Ma'am, I saw the flock an knew you where out here, do you have need of me?"

 

[hybirdx]

Justin gave a short, second look around. 'Odd... Nothing.'

Justin you seem alarmed about something.

Justin swung around to see Rayet behind him. Oh, its you. Its... Nothing. Just a little odd so many birds would shoot into the sky like that...

 

[LadyFairy]

Running to catch up with Justin Tasha stop's as she see's Rayet pop in near him. Walking the rest of the way to stand with them.

We need to catch up with Grok...i am not sure what's caus'd the bird's to act so.. they ushuly only do so if there is a dragon or another large creature near by... but i dont hear nor see any other sign's of such...but until we know we should all stick to gether. Do ether of you sence anything?? She asked seeing the begining sign's of dawn.

Tasha continued on ahead after Grok. Wanting to make sure that He was alright.. as far as she new Myst was still with the villager's so they were safe.
