Pathetic, ignorant people. Did she really stick out that much? Was what she was really bother them that much? Her family hadn't seemed bothered. It hadn't really been her choice at first. Leaning her head back against the beam she watched the busy streets. It wasn't like she was doing nothing, in fact, she was doing everything. Those damn whispers were calling to her again, beckoning her. Tobais fluttered down landing on her shoulder and a few more people skirted away. <strong>"You know they only suspected before, and you're not helping my case any..."</strong> the bird nipped her ear some and she sighed. <strong>"Fine all right."</strong> she pushed off the beam, listening to to the soft whispers that echoed in her mind.<br/><br/>By the time that she made it outside the gates, she'd collected quite a few stares to add to her memory. She couldn't help but thing that her luck was very thin. First to be born a half-elf in a world that wasn't so accepting of them, hell she wondered what her parents had been thinking at the time really. Then, later in life to discover what she was, the fact was, to her life just kept casting bigger stones her way. She glanced around as Tobias flew up into the branches, a simple shake of her head. <strong>We can't stay long, the others will wonder what we are doing.</strong> she said plainly, kneeling as she brushed her fingers over the earth. <br/><br/>She always went off alone in the mornings, it gave her and Tobias times to prepare, without interruption. Cupping her hands she closed her eyes and waited, patiently until he flew down to nest in her palms. Immediately the words swirled and her mind was opened. The spells she would need, the ones that were most called for. She didn't chose them, she let whoever guided her to chose. It wasn't her place. This was a gift that she was to use, and not to choose for herself. She'd decided that when she and Tobias had first met. Clearning her mind, she spent the next hour on her knees, communing, letting the unseen guide her to what it wished for her. <br/><br/>When it was done; Tobias fluttered off, nipping lightly at Ari's nose twice as he did. Ari however didn't move. She just stared forward. Definately not what she'd expected but who was she to complain. Rising up, her eyes flared as she heard footsteps come from behind, as she spun around her eyes fell upon the form of another witch. She eyed the woman cautiously, <strong>What brings you here stranger?</strong> Ari asked but the woman smiled. <strong>"It is my calling to come when the voice calls out. Did you call for me stranger.</strong> Ari shook her head, the woman was beautiful, stunningly so. <br/><br/>She moved forward, brushing her fingers over Ari's cheek, a smile still upon her lips. <strong>"No it wasn't you. Not yet anyways. This isn't our last meeting. No..I have a feeling we will meet again. One day soon.</strong> Ari blinked and looked away at the shrill scream Tobias gave. And when she looked around the woman was gone. What was that? Or rather, who was that? Tobias fluttered down, and Ari pursed her lips. <strong>You know something I do?</strong> she asked him and he ruffled his feathers as she stared at the spot the woman had stood. Her fingers brushed her own cheeks, feeling almost as though the touch was still there. Had that been her guiding force? The one unseen for all this time?<br/><br/>These thoughts plauged her, even as she made her way slowly back into town. She didn't want her group to worry too much about her. </div></div></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Is that just a reserved area; or were you attempting to put the whole thing down?
