Fantasy ~ FableWood ~

[Aelin]

She walked away from the group seeing as they were all already occupied. She jumped up and shifted so she was a Phoenix, and flew around in the sky. From the ground she would looking like a shiny star gliding around the sky with a trail of flame to follow her but from her view she saw everyone and everything. A few people talking and helping each other well animals prowled farther out in the forest. She forgot how much she missed this view of Fablewood . It was truly beautiful she saw a creek that had glowing fish in it and her playful side opened up. In Phoenix form going into a creek with glowing fish would be stupid and cause her to be stuck in human form for days but as a human it would be fun. She flew over it then shifted human again and fell into the creek. She swam around and the fish didn't mind her presence. She swam up for a breath and looked around. Some trees, a cactus, a snow bank and the cottage everyone was at.

Rose immediately came and picked up some sort of meat a human would never be able to reconize. It was her favorite, but she could never pronounce it right. Rose sat down and began to eat happily fully healed.

" I was but a vessel to channel the power of Mother Moon nothing more. I asked her for her blessing and she granted it. "


Her expression then turned sad.


" Happiness you say... It may have been that. The emotions I have felt in my life were nothing like that: solitude, sorrow and anguish - they were my companions on my road until now. This warmth, this alien feeling was never something I have tasted before. "

Elena walked in and instead of taking a seat, she searched the cabnets and rooms until she came back with a bottle of ink, a fountain tip, and a blank ancient and mildew smelling book. She took a seat ignoring the food and started writing all that occured so far along with personal descriptions for each of the members excluding herself. Across from each pageof the written work she attempted an accurate enough illustration of the scenes, putting on a dont bug me face.

 

[wolfborn4]

Rose looked over and blinked to her expression then asked telepathically Whatcha doing? What the girl was doing intrigued her. She didn't know why she was writing about and wanted to know

Ward smiled kindly at Nyr as he helped himself to a roast ham and a bit of cheese. "I divine you are not used to acceptance." He said softly. "But you have proven your dedication and your worth tonight and..." he paused for a moment as if considering whether or not to say what he had been thinking. "Your true form, is absolutely beautiful." He did not leave room for a reply but wandered off in another direction, plate in hand. The cottage looked tiny from the outside, but on the inside he guessed it would become as big as needed to accommodate the guests. Rooms would already have been prepared upstairs and sleep beckoned to him softly. but he did not go to sleep, instead he sidled over to Elena.


He pushed a bowl of sweet strawberries submerged in fresh cream and sugar toward her.


"You left someone out." He remarked as he finished his ham.


 
((man, I can totally see Ward and Rose leaning over Elena's shoulder together, being one united force of annoying. xD its awesome.))

 

[wolfborn4]

((Ya I'm always annoying xD ))

 

[Bea Delaine]

Unsure of how to answer her friend, she attempted to think her response. 'Im recording what occured', she answered simply. When she reached the part of the spiders and felt a twinge of personal space invasion, should that be a feeling. Sighing, she illustrated mythical creatures from a back view with an army of disfigured spiders before them.


She felt another presence and lifted a layer of curls up behind her ear to have them fall down. Not that she noticed so much. Drawing Nyr and Ward was hard, but a dragon was a lot more difficult.


Ward pushed her strawberries and she mumbled, "not missing anything important.. not hungry, five more minutes."


 
(I really know what this is like. Too well)

 

[wolfborn4]

Rose chuckled and thought to her Do you want me to give you a picture to go off of for your drawings? She liked the fact she made a bunch of new friends today, it made her smile...

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr blushed when she heard Ward complimenting her. Never before did anyone say anything good about her appearance which was no surprise. The raven was usually a mark of decay and destruction so everybody avoided her like the pestilence.


She looked at the food but suddenly her hunger faded. She ate but few bits then looked at the merry group. They all seemed so happy, so joyous - like a family despite the fact that they have met but hours ago. Silently so she would not disturb anyone she walked out of the cottage and sat down in the grass to contemplate on the events that have happened.


She looked at the Moon respectfully, silently murmuring a thanks for it helping her today. The battle was fierce but she was happy that she could have been of use. But the army of darkness still startled her. What did they want? Why did they come? And more importantly how did they know they were all here?


The heavy questions made her sigh as she sat silently in the tall grass listening to the song of the wind. Despite how kind the others were towards her somehow it was still alien to her - like she didn't belong here. So she continued to bask in the glory of the Moon and the stars and laid back down to observe the celestial phenomenons.

She got out of the pond. It was odd, a bird of fire who has a love for swimming. Then again none of the creatures in fablewood were normal so that gave her some clarity on the thought. She dried off and walked into the cottage were everyone was. She wasn't hungry so she just sat down on a chair. She found a table that had a small net on it and picked it up, she inspected it then put it down. It was kind of dark so she made a small glowing orb in her hand but the orb started moving in her hand "Oh don't you dare." She said knowing that an orb couldn't hear her but she still tried telling it. It shook free of her hand and started shooting around the cottage bouncing off the walls and shooting from the roof to the ground It shot into the kitchen and bounced off the stove and hit the cabinet in less then seconds then out into the other rooms and shot past Elena, Ward and Rose with Joy chasing it like a mad dog "Can't talk know got to catch this thing." she said quickly. It crashed through a window and she transformed and chased it. The orb flew and shot itself into a mud puddle were it got stuck "HA! got ya!" She yelled after she turned back human and crushed the thing with her foot. She probably looked ridiculous but she didn't care. She shifted and flew back threw the broken window where Elena, Ward and Rose were "Um... should I fix that?" She said in a awkward manner well standing beside the broken window.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena tried to word and make sense out of what was being said while working, but she ended up needing to put her pen down and her head up. It still confused her a bit but she recognized the obscure complement. Her cheeks reddened and she felt more odd shame.


"I.. appreciate it, but the more ive heard the more i think you picked the wrong human. The other girl works, right?" The was about to take astrawberry when an orb flew between the space between her handand bowl. Her head flew up and a head of brown curls followed in an exaggerated manner.


She whipped her head towards joy and started laughing, like a kid. "I think that was worse than a spider!"

 

[Aelin]

She crossed her arms "Well at least that orb didn't hit any of you!" she said laughing at her stupidity of letting that thing loose "Honestly, I was told phoenix were Smart and Beautiful creatures once. I am starting to question that." She said well laughing.

 

[Tearlach the Fade]

(Going to sleep now, good night guys)

 

[DawnAntalios]

Nyr sat up in the tall grass to inspect the wounds she had. She had few scratches on her skin but what was damaged were her wings. One of them was broken so she would be unable to fly for a while. A sudden dread took hold of her that perhaps she would be unable to soar forever but she quickly dismissed the claim. She looked back at the cottage where she heard laughter and funny noises.


She smiled.


" They are having fun. " she whispered to herself " So that is what be like happy then? "


She was about to go in and ask if they could help her with her problem but then quickly changed her mind. Asking them so many things would be out of question they have given her more than anyone ever did. Pushing their good will to the limits was out of the question. So she sat back and looked at the pale Moon.


" Mother Moon, your child speaks to you. " she called out for the celestial body " I thank you for this opportunity that you have given me. These people are... dear to my heart. Please protect them from the darkness and bless them with your mystical powers. "


The Moon did not reply but Nyr knew it had heard her plea. Satisfied she put her two hands together and started to meditate.

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena chuckled and arose, leaving her bowl of strawberries untouched. She would hate to offend ward but she didnt like sweets anyways.


"You're beautiful and smart.. but it was a ditsy moment, right?" She said, not realizing human slang might be weird for them to hear. Noticing the absence of Nyr, she gently pocketed the new book and pen for later. She had an idea of how she could use it later.


She got up and headed outside. "Im going to check on Nyr. Be back."


The night was too full of life to be considered a calm one. It was the first time, however, she got to appreciate the lack of grey smog and pollution. She spotted the raven haired girl, who looked like she was truly in her element.


"Hey." She spotted the other human as well and gave a small smile.


Standing near the girl, she took another deep breath of the good air and asked quietly,


"Are you happy.. ever?" Not in a rude way. Elena just felt as though she might be able to understand Nyr in this way, though existing from different worlds.


"And do you want to be?"

 

[DawnAntalios]

She looked up the motioned for her to sit down.


" You know what the raven is a symbol for? " she asked Elena " It is a bringer of death and destruction. Plague and blight. Even though I never thought to be a herald of such horrible things my very existence condemned me to be forever be marked by it. "





She smiled at the human with a bittersweet smile then continued.


" I have searched for happiness when I was younger. But it was quite hard when everyone wants you to be gone, wants you to vanish from everywhere. I was alone for so long, Mother Moon being my only companion. She lit my way in the eternal darkness and guided me, taught me how to live in solitude. Yet... "





She wiped away a drop of tear quickly so that Elena did not notice.


"... I always wished to be with others. All I ever wanted was a home. "

 

[Bea Delaine]

"Nyr, im not one to talk, but happiness isnt something you search for. Ive been looking for a while and havent found it either.. I think happiness is a path."


She sighed, thinking about the newfound meaning of a Raven. It really didnt fit Nyr at all.


"Well.. um, you know Ward said something about how we can rewrite inaccurate stories. Maybe we can rewrite it, your meaning of the Raven. Your more kind and elegant.. and i think you deserve happiness and a place you belong." She gave a dark and thin smile.

 

[DawnAntalios]

She shook her head.


" No, that is not necessary. I often think about what would have happened if I had a different fate. Maybe I would have had a better life or even worse. It was because of this path I had to take that I have met you - met all the others. You are right in happiness being the path itself and that is very wise of you to realize this young. "


She looked back at the cottage anxiously.


" It is just... I have lived alone for so long that I have no idea how to act while in a group. Be respectful, be kind, be helpful, do not show your emotions - all these are but formalities I have learnt over the years yet they serve as but a temporary solution. I have no idea how to make... friends. "

 

[Aelin]

I leaned down and picked up the glittering glass shards so no one stepped on them. Then I put them in a small box and walked downstairs. I was bored and strange mostly strange but still very bored.


I sat down and threw a stone at the opposite wall it bouced back and I caught it. Ooh she was good at it. She did that for awhile then fell asleep in the chair, indivisual strands of her hair glowing as she took steady breaths.

 

[wolfborn4]

Rose jumped down and landed in front of Nyr and Elena. She giggled and smiled big she sat down and held her feet feeling a cool breeze " Whatcha doing? "

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena sighed, feeling Nyrs distress. She shouldnt have to live like that. Feeling somewhat hypocritical, she gave a smile, which ended up feeling more bitter. At least it was honest.


"May i be a friend then?" She asked unsure.


"That way you dont have to be polite. You can just express yourself." She wasnt sure if this approach of hers was working, so she decided to open up herself.


"Um.. moments before i got to this land, i was standing on the tall edge of one of my worlds bridges. I jumped off. If i wasnt here, i would be dead. I cant tell Ward or Aemon because thwy are strong men and they dont want to carry my useless weight. I cant tell Joy or Rose because they seem.. i dont know. Like they might feel bad about it. Im telling you because i think you've felt the same and its okay for you to say so." She said, explaining the best she could.


 
(Oh gosh im so sorry!!!)


 
(Can we just assume Rose arrived after the events of my post? Sorry)

 

[wolfborn4]

(Sure)

 

[Bea Delaine]

Elena smiled warmly as Rose came, as though shewas just having a pleasant conversation about nothing personal. It was easy when they were there, in such a beautiful land at night that almost forbidded anything morbid.


"Rose, you eat? You looked half dead earlier."


After a brief pause she answered.


"We were enjoying the night i think."
