Fantasy The Spirit Inside ~ Forest and Village

[RP Marshall]

Kyngerz Responded almost instantly,letting loose an arrow for the crow to perch on before he could fall to injury. Instead of waiting to see how the bird would respond he simply continued onward with his journey, after all he wanted to reach the town before nightfall.

Flint, wobbling on Kyngerz well placed arrow, ruffled his feathers in agitation. Beads of sweltering sweet dripped from his twitching beak. He muttered swears while watching the Palsiet mosey onward. The bird gaped at Belisair for a response.

Belisair torn between pride and indignation so he defaulted, "Flint I'm glad you are making progress, and SO FAST, but pleas eb careful ok? You should know by now that I don't control the wind enough to catch you if you leap so far from me."


Belisair just stood there waiting for the bird to leap into his arms before catching up behind Kyngerz.


"Also, put the spear back into its holster (?) You need your talons free to properly grip the trees."

Flint hopped off the arrow and begrudgingly put his beautiful staff into its sheath. After leaping into Belisair's safe arms, like a trained pet, he snuggle up to the Slyph's warm chest clenching his friend's shoulder tightly.


With a crabby demeanor the crow said, "You do realize that 'THING' could have really hurt me?"

((Go back a few posts: Belisair made hima really good sheath for Flint.))


"That PALSIET just saved you from a nasty fall and a subsequent nasty potion", he said pointedly.


"You know for a crow, you sure are crabby. You need to calm down." ((I kno))


Thankfully they were nearly to the town. Belisair could smell and hear the life of Thoranhall upon the winds.

{Thanks. Didn't realize it.}


"How can you be so trusting with that monstrosity?" Flint said rudely pointing at Kyngerz. "You do realized humans, like that damn wizard, only think of themselves. He could betray us; stick an arrow into our sleeping bodies. The last thing I want is that THING harming you!"

"Except that he isn't human. His race is older than humans. You could think of humans as poorly made imitations of Palsiets. I trust him because the wind simply loves him and he has given me no indication otherwise. Maybe you should try to open your eyes in stead of your mouth, Flint." Belisair was growing weary of Flints obvious distrust in him. If Flint truly trusted Belisair, he would respect his decisions and give him the benefit of a doubt. As it stands Flint was treating Belisair the way a guardsman would a besotted princess.

Flint jerked back at Belisair's aggravated tone. He could feel the Slyph's body quivering in frustration. The bird, not wanting to anger his friend anymore, obeyed him by buttoning his beak until they reached Thoranhall.


In an instant, the bird recalled the old wizard's plan to sell him there. What evils lurked in the town. Most likely malicious humans who would love to make a talking crow suffer. Flint trembled at the thought. The group continued on their journey. With each step, the crow's mind concocted another painful scenario he would endure there. He hugged his friend tighter.

Belisair gave a long sigh, "I know you think that all humans are bad, but they aren't. That's like saying every wolf is pure evil simply because it is their nature to hunt. I have met some truly good humans. You have to look at the bigger picture Flint. This world is much too large to have such a close-minded view."


Belisair looked down at his friend and smiled faintly, "I'm not mad at you. I know it's hard for you to just throw out trust after spending your entire life with that wizard, but you must try. There is pain in this world and you will experience more than you think you could bear, but there is also so much pleasure, love and happiness. You must be open to and anticipate the good as well as the bad. Do you understand?"


Belisair was pleading. He felt Flint tighten his grip and knew the dark thoughts passing through his mind, he could feel them. "Flint, I would NEVER hurt you. You must trust me and believe that I am trying to show you the good things in life. I don't know how else to say it for you to understand it."


There was pain, actual physical pain, in his voice like he was trying to express something not meant for words, "Flint, look at me. LOOK AT ME! I need you to see me and know within your very being that I have only the best intentions and plan to show you people of similar sentiments."


"Flint you are mine. I don't know what you are, but you are MINE. Every part of me, both halves of me, hell even every breeze I sense you in tells me that you are mine. My friend, my ward, my child, my responsibility: JUST MINE! No matter what I do, and no matter where I go, you will be there with me. If I am to help you, you must let me help you. You must give me your troubles and your pain, your hopes and aspirations, your woes and fears so that we can face them all together."


With every word, Belisair eyes had glowed brighter and brighter, they now shone like stars. The wind had picked up and swirled around the duo, this wasn't like before: it was new. It was primeval, an act not meant to grace this world ever again; It could not even be named. It most definitely was not intentional and Belisair had no idea what he was doing, for his focus was completely on the crow.


"Flint, please..."

"Flint, please..."

For the first time in Flint's life he was happy. Happy to have a friend.


'Belisair is my friend,' the bird whispered softly to himself.

"..."


"...?! What? I thought I told you goodbye."


"I need your help."


"Hell no!"


"Please! I can't do this without you."


"Find someone else!"


"My friend is pleading to me! I need to give him an answer. I can't lie to him anymore."


"So now you call him friend... Are you being sincere with me?"


"Yes."


"You won't back out?"


"No."


"What about Kyngerz?"


"..."


That's it, I'm gone!"


"Alright! I'll be nice to him. I promise."


"... I wish I could believe you... FINE! *SIGN* This is going to be a pain in the ass."


Flint looked up in Belisair's deep blue eyes and said, "I'll be a good egg."

[/QUOTE]
Those eyes that shone cried, and the winds that circled rose and raced to the skies. This was bond a bond powerful enough to cause ripples upon the great elemental plane. The sky was cleared and above these two souls become one, the stars shone down in the middle of the day. IT was a tower of light , a beacon to something lost to time . That Sylph that had offered his soul was accepted and a crow had become an Avatar of Aer.


"You were always a good egg, but now you are my good egg.",Belisair smile could only be described a rapturous. He felt


"Whole. We are whole, Flint, little brother."

 

[KingsPlague]

Kyngerz had eavesdropper the entire conversation, parts of it made him smile, chuckle even, but when the sylph began talking about being two halves of a whole his smile instantly faded to be replaced with a cold almost resentful grimace and his eyes filled with sorrow. He was quite glad the two were now behind him as his most painful memory returned.


Palsiet where always made for another, a male and a female were to find each other to receive a gods gift. This gift was not known to Kyngerz Plagkets as he was forced to watch his partner Krisa be crushed by a shard of ice the size of a tower as the Palsiet world met it's demise.

((Just gonna ignore the light show and jump straight for the Emo's, aka emotions, huh?))

A column of light had shot straight up in the sky, directly ahead of Lila. It stopped the Yuan-ti in her tracks, green eyes wide, as she stared up into the sky at the light. Something was odd, something in the wind had changed. It seemed more alive, more charged with something. It made her shiver, but not in a bad way, she didn't really understand what was happening, or what that light had been, but it hadn't frightened her. Somehow it had seemed oddly comforting.


Knowing full well she should probably stay far away from whatever had made that beacon of light, Lila plunged ahead. Going directly towards where she thought that light had come from. She pushed her way, stumbling and staggering as tree roots and rocks threatened to trip her, determined to find that source of light and then...Well she had no idea what to do. If it was something frightening, she would just run away. If it was something not frightening, she would ask for help. Lila wasn't sure how long she had been walking before the light, and she wasn't sure how long she had been going after seeing the light, but she would keep going until she found something. Or something found her.


A tree root found her for sure, this time sending her tumbling head over tail instead of just stumbling. She didn't roll very far, and thankfully she had come to the site of the light show. Once her tumble was over, Lila sat on the ground between two men. Green eyes blinked, looking this way and that. One man was very imposing, and his visage alone sent a shiver of fear down Lila's spine, the other male was quite feminine, and was speaking to a little bird. Lila looked from one male to the other. Uncertain and afraid. Her purple scaled tail twitched nervously behind her.

"Well so much for a warm night in a bed." Dia had started making her way back into the forest. Her mind still hadn't stopped racing. Thoughts if back home, Bindy, this stone and what it's purpose was. Suddenly the wind began to blow wildly around her. And she could feel powerful Magic at work. She started towards it. She didn't know what lay ahead but she needed to find that temple and maybe that is where the magic was coming from. Now that she thought about it Bindy didn't tell her which way the Temple was. "Strange.." she said to herself as she walked. Soon enough she could see the same three beings she had seen before. She wondered which one of them had conjured such magic. She stepped from the bush revealing herself to them. For some reason she did not speak. Half of her almost ready to stike, if need be, the other half knew these beings meant her no harm.

Sriq sat himself on top of a market stall looking out over the small town. He took from his side a skin canteen and put it to his lips, sipping the nectar it held. His ears twitched as the wind blew by, sensing some magic in play somewhere close. Sriq adjusted himself. He withdrew the two large daggers off his back and started to clean them, whistling a small tune as he set to work on them. "The day is mine." Sriq said to himself as his ears twitched again. When the daggers were clean and sharp he sheathed them and quickly set off, jumping from stall to stall until he came to the edge of the forest. He stood their looking into the mass of trees, trying to pick up of anything occurring in it.

 

[Dozeji]

While walking towards the lake, something caught Lena's attention. A strange source of light of some sorts, shooting to the sky.


"What in the world...?" She mumbled to herself, looking at the beacon. She decided to go and check it out.

 

[Prrrgadilly]

Belisair was staring happily at his little crow @RP Marshall , when he noticed several things all at once:

1. The trio was being watched by a spell-caster, from behind, and Zephyr didn't quite trust them @ragingfire
   
2. After several snapping twigs, tearing roots, a tumble, and roll, there was a very surprised and frightened Yuan-ti in front of them @Kry
   
3. That he had just created a display of magic so powerful, that magic-intrinsic creatures @JJKab and magic-extrinsic creatures @Dice alike would most definitely be able to see and/or sense it, and would probably want to investigate
   
4. That the Palsiet @KingsPlague next to him was giving Zephyr some very heavy sensations, which could only mean that he was the opposite of cheerful.
   
5. Flint was the most wonderful bird in all of creation
   
6. refer to #5
   

"Well this adventure just got unbelievably more complicated." He sighed heavily as he placed Flint on his right shoulder, "Oh Flint, what have we gotten ourselves into?"


((Mkay goodnight folks. I'll be back after I sleep.))

 

[KingsPlague]

The column of light had shaken the Palsiet out of his memories, magic like this was strong but it was so loud and visible, he couldn't help it but turn around with a stern look "Fae, by Pryoleths beard was that really necessary? Every being within a vus trivker, within a thousand bounds (roughly a hundred miles) of here will know that we are here, what are the odds that they are friendly. You should hide yourselves." He explained, replacing his bow with his enchanted sword and drawing one of the throwing axes from his back as he turned to the being behind him.


He crouched together, looking smaller yet more dangerous, like a coiled viper ready to strike as he stared down the girl "Nuset est? Who are you?" He asked, though the question seemed like more of a demand.

 

[Dozeji]

As Lena approached the beacon, her pathway was blocked by a pretty massive branch. She sighed, not used to lift such heavy objects, but... She had to, in order to move on. She closed her eyes, as she concentrated her energy on thr branch's center of mass. She managed to lift it up, and move it out of her way. Lena then continued to move towards the beacon, getting more and more exausted.

 

[Knightling]

The man brushed himself off slightly and moved aimlessly, simply trying to find anything. Upon noticing the light shine up in the sky, he cringed and covered his eyes, debating with himself if he should go investigate. Ultimately, it was his best chance at getting answers, and he slowly began to make his way in that direction. Plunging his hands into his pockets, he felt around until he found a knife, then pulled it out and held onto it firmly.

 

[Dozeji]

Lena slowly entered the place, where she saw some people already by the beacon. She noticed the girl that just tumbled out of the bushes, and hissed slightly, looking at her.


"That oughta hurt.." She mumbled to herself, slowly sitting down on the grass, closing her eyes. She was still tired from that branch-lifting before, her breathing still a bit heavy.

 

[wildfire]

"Who are YOU?" Dia asked her hand now on her dagger mirroring the man. Dia was a bit hot headed and his tone had irritated her, and her first insticts was to be defensive. But she thought for a second and let go of her weapon. She meant them no harm and if they knew were the temple was they could be of great assistance to her. She did not wish to fight. She was a bit impressed with herself. Most times she would have fought because she was very a very skilled fighter and she liked to practice on unsuspecting people who liked to test her. She would use a mix of swordsman ship and magic spells. Her pride pushed her forward most times so she'd thrown herself into battle. But she backed down. Not to mention she had seen this huge man slay several wolves earlier with magic she'd never seen and wasn't sure if she wanted to go up against THAT at the moment. "I'm Dia..." she said revealing nothing else of herself. "And you? And you?" She said referring to @KingsPlague, @Delacare , and @RP Marshall.


Just then a scaley creature no a Yuan-Ti tumbled out from the bushes and stared at them all..."Err hi?...." Dia said having no idea what was going on.. Maybe the Yuan-ti knew them.
