<br>
<b>Thread Summary:</b><br>
Ciu'nan had followed the herd(s) of deer for two days. Towards the end of day two the herd(s) enter a forest and eventually come into a clearing therein with aged signs of a battle fought long ago. The herd nests in the clearing, allowing Ciu'nan some rest herself. While looking for a place to camp, she runs into two strangers: Adam and Fei Liu. The three share a campfire and tell their stories.<br>
<br>
The next day Adam leaves, but Fei Liu remains to follow the deer a bit further. Before the herd took off, Ciu'nan spotted some strangers. Drawn by the cervitaur amongst them, she makes contact with the group. It seemed they were on their way to the home village of one member. The herd began to move out, so Ciu'nan quickly invited them to tag along as they seemed to be heading in a similar direction.<br>
<br>
The terrain was only going to get rougher as they entered hill country. All around them there was nothing but trees as far as the eye could see. Suddenly, Ciu'nan discovered an apparently lifeless buck amongst some boulders. With no sign of struggle, the deer's death was perplexing, yet there was a greater mystery about to unfold. The group travelled on, pondering the deer's death but being unable to decipher the cause. After a short walk, they found themselves entering the same area with the deer carcass exactly as they had left it. Various reactions and emotions were felt over the realization that they seemed to be trapped in this space. Each coped (or not) in their own way, but eventually the group spread out to see what they could find. Fungi was found in a few places and after Tia consumed some such fungi sprouting on a tree did something finally happen. The ground erupted and an enormous entity emerged, identifying itself as Masaruma the forest elder. Seemingly taken aback by the apparently irreverant conduct of the party, Masaruma relented, extending the party grace. While the forest elder waved the need for formalities, it asked the party for free-will offerings nonetheless. Those who had something to give offered it for fear of denying the forest elder. Once the offerings were received, Masaruma released the party with his blessing.<br>
<br>
Emerging from the forest, it was found that the day, which appeared as late morning in the forest, was actually in the final hours of twilight. Despite the onset of darkness, Haruki, Tia, and Wanton set off on their own journey, leaving Ciu'nan and Fei Liu to follow the deer. The pair found a ruins with a subterranean chamber that would give them shelter for the evening. A heavy rain came down from the mountain soon after they had settled in for the evening.<br>
<br>
As they passed the time with conversation, footsteps were heard in the path overhead. From the group, a single set of footsteps approached the stairs to the basement. A stranger announced himself and sought to poke his head in for a moment. Ciu'nan sensed danger but bade Fei to invite him or send him off. Fei bade the stranger to join them. The stranger was dressed in a strange outfit with a mask fashioned after the likeness of a bird. For reasons unknown even to her, Ciu'nan was greatly distressed by the strangers presence. Thankfully, as suddenly as he had appeared, the stranger left, claiming a present beating of wings to be his cue. The remainder of the night passed without intrusion.<br>
<br>
The following morning met the pair with more rain, which would persist all day. Fei ran a quick errand while Ciu'nan awoke and prepared to set out. By the time the deer were moving on, Fei had returned and they set off together on what seemed like the final leg of their journey.<br>
<br>
They trudged through the rainsoaked forest for much of the morning til they hit the base of the mountain. Following it to the south and east, they discovered a ravine blocked off by a gate. Working together, Ciu'nan and Fei opened the portcullis to allow the deer through.<br>
<br>
Beyond the gate, the ravine went on briefly before coming to a dead end in a small garden. The deer piled into the area with singular focus on a briar bush at the far end. As they hungrily devoured the bush, it came to life, stabbing and cutting and mutilating the herd. After the last brambles were consumed, only six deer remained, staring vacantly at cave entrance hidden behind the briar bush.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan and Fei enter the grotto to find a magical fountain within. Interacting with it caused both interlopers to be pulled into the memories of an old fae god. Upon seeing the events that led up to its confinement here, they were released from the vision as the deity rose from the fountain. In the exchange that followed, it would be revealed that the deity's power had been great diminished. He also divulged that both Ciu'nan and Fei were "offworlders", entities whose souls originated from another world. Ciu'nan doubted the fae's claim and drove him to reveal it to her. The fae used his magic to reveal Ciu'nan's true past. Ultimately, her forgotten past was too much to handle, and Ciu'nan lost her grip on reality. Through fits of maniacal laughter, she disappeared, leaving Fei alone with the god.<br>
<br>
The fae would take Fei as his underling, but for how long could such an arrangement truly last?​</div></div>

	</div></div>The grasslands east of Ryken bid the wanderer come. Beckoning goes out to all, yet only a few answer. Such is the life of the lone wanderer, but solitude comes and goes. Chance encounters on the road happen when one least expects it.<br>
<br>
Here on the edge of Light County (domain of <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/post-11188213" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpost-11188213&amp;hash=ac995c92021112123f65bf528437493d"><u>Count Linneus Light</u></a>), however, the roads are sparse and purposeful. The animals that call the region home stick to the edges of the forest or the prairies of waist high grass. Wild and free, they roam where their internal compass bids them. In their shadow a lone figure keeps watch over them as they travel the land: Ciu'nan the fae.<br>
<br>
The locals speak of a herd of deer that is displaying odd migratory behavior. Every month just after the new moon, several herds of deer converge on the plains of eastern Ryke and head further east. The herds return to their native locales about a week later. Ciu'nan has been asked to investigate.</div>

Spring held its breath, reluctant to make way for summer. The remnants of winter's chill still clung to the fringes of the Ryken air, reaching their full potential in nightfall, where the frost still danced on the prairie's crown only to be driven back beneath the treeline once the sun had risen. The sun had bid its final farewell, however, so the frost crept freely from the shaded places and was only prevented in the path where the herd passed, neatly outlined by the creeping white.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan wasn't far behind. The deer were aware of her, but they still refused to let her come close. She had much to learn as a fae, it seemed, before the wildlife would allow her to approach as a true kindred spirit. This was far enough for her being a mere thirty paces out. She even found a way to entertain herself while keeping tabs on the herd: hide and seek. Whenever the deer would look her way, she'd duck into the grass real quick and slink around to a new position then poke her head out again. They didn't seem nearly as amused by it as she was, but that didn't faze Ciu'nan.<br>
<br>
Somewhere on the other side of the field, a chorus of bucks bellowed out a particular call: it was time to move again. The herd began shuffling forward, the waist high grass swaying in their wake. Their current heading would have them passing through a forest. This will be the close of the second day Ciu'nan had been following them. Where in the world were they going?<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
The moon appeared as a pale crescent in the sky as they entered the forest. Dark only became darker under the canopy, but the darkened arboreal path would not last long. Ciu'nan felt their emergence from the forest was premature, and indeed it was. Overhead, the canopy opened to the sky. Moss-covered trees lay at odd angles near equally mossy stumps. Some looked broken while others looked purposefully cut in times past. Tattered fragments of cloth still waved from poles stuck into small mounds. Beneath their hooves and feet, heavily rusted metal implements peeked from the undergrowth. The deer seemed unaffected by the unnatural clearing they had entered, but Ciu'nan knew all too well what these telltale signs meant.<br>
<br>
Despite having no concept of the meaning behind their surroundings, the herd suddenly stopped. Ciu'nan looked on curiously, but couldn't see much from her spot in the rear of the herd. Climbing a tree, she looked ahead to the leaders who seemed to be pacing, looking this way and that as if lost or confused. Ciu'nan's face scrunched in bewilderment as she scaled back down the tree.</div>

Adam slowly walked his way through a prairie, remembering the town he had helped save from the threat of an angry troll tribe that had lost their Songsowers, Adam's eyes looked up at the sky, night would be approaching soon, although the beautiful sky of the evening reminded the musician of his times with his band, they would play songs while bathing in the sunset. It reminded him of a somber tune, as he walked over the prairie he travelled on. Adam gave a weak smile, his guitar strapped onto his shoulder, reaching around for the neck of his instrument, he gently took it into his arms. Holding it properly, being careful of the sharp body that was his guitar.<br>
<br>
From his sleeve, a pick fell out as Adam caught it in between his fingers looking to his weapon that was also his means of entertainment. Adjusting his instrument, Adam smiled widely now, almost as tears were filling his eyes, unaware of the pack of deer he was walking up towards. Legion gently dragged his pick over his strings, a somber melody began to play, the musician's eyes glowed with an eerie silver aura that wisped into the air. His demeanor changed from happy to melancholy as he played his sad tune. <br>
<br>
<span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube"><span><span style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tlwfQHb9aT0/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;background:url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/tlwfQHb9aT0\/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% \/ cover&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tlwfQHb9aT0&quot;]"></span></span></span><br>
<br>
Legion stepped through the grass, his tune filling the air, filling his ears. He could feel the demonic presence within him claw at him as it wanted to leave his body and flow into the music he creates. Legion's head began to bob gently up and down as he played his tune, he wanted to sing along with his tune but resisted. It hurt to speak, sometimes singing would change his voice to a normal human's. Eventually Adam would make his way towards a herd of deer, seeing them as Legion's eyes opened, he stopped in his tracks, continuing to play his tune without missing a beat as his notes continued to fly into the air. Legion continued to bob his head as he played, a sad look in his eyes that had the same silver streaks emitting from them.<br>

Ciu'nan shivered in the night air. Summer was on its way, but that would not spare her tonight. She pulled her fur cloak tighter about her shoulders and neck as she pressed into the clearing. The bucks leading the herd had let out another bellow. The herd would bed here tonight, which meant Ciu'nan would have to set up camp not too far away. As she was about to find a place, the approaching sound of music met her from further away in the clearing. The deer would be scared off if the music alerted them, so Ciu'nan decided to investigate.<br>
<br>
She crept along the treeline towards the melody. The tune was rather somber. While its tone fit the location, who would be here in the middle of the night serenading the dead? A lone shadow moved through the clearing towards the deer. Ciu'nan moved to intercept.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Excuse...Excuse me, but...could you not play your music? I don't mean to be rude, but there's some deer bedding nearby, and I'd like to keep them there for the night if possible."</span></b><br>
<br>
It was an odd request. Ciu'nan could see and understand that much. This was her mission for the time being, however, so she had to do what was necessary to see it through.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I...was actually about to make camp myself. It's awfully cold tonight. I can get us a nice fire to keep warm."</span></b></div>

Legion heard something move then turned his head seeing some sort of... Strange woman approach, asking if he could not play his music anymore so that he wouldn't disturb the deer, Legion stared at her for a moment before his fingers stopped playing, letting the tune echo quietly on a single note when release, but then Adam gently placed his hand on the neck, stopping the sound. He had a kind smile on his face as he raised a hand to show he wasn't hostile. He then pointed to his neck and shook his head before opening his mouth like he was speaking, then closed it and shook his head once more. Telling the kind soul, he wasn't able to speak.<br>
<br>
Adam moved his guitar onto his shoulder with the strap showing he wouldn't play, upon hearing about making a fire, the musician nodded, he didn't even realize how cold the night was until she had mentioned it. He shivered, feeling the cold creep up his spine before he took a deep breath and exhaled. Walking towards the woman, Adam stopped a few feet from her. Seeing her features his eyes widen a bit but... She was beauitful, and Adam wasn't one to judge a person by their looks, especially if they looked weird.<i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> I hope this isn't a trap... Either I'm a fool or I'm an enchanted fool.</span></i> Adam thought to himself, he couldn't help but be intrigued by this woman, who seemed to be a guardian of this place. He then used his hands, placing both hands together then his head on top with his eyes close, he disbanded it and with both hands out in front of him while looking around, indicating where would they be camping at?<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Where prey treads, predators are sure to follow. Fei Liu did not know that the chorus of mournful howls resonating with the shadows in the trees were the wolves calling each other home for the night. He is thoroughly a domestic. In the distant past, he even took his civilized order out to sea, where legions of drowned dead learned well how easily the whims of nature can overcome intelligence's feeble ingenuity. Rogue waves and freak whirlpools, monsters and fog hiding portals to another world that can swallow everything without a trace. None of those things came for him in life. At least one of them he could now say for certain is real. The wolves were up with the rogue waves and portals into other worlds, or jellyfish in the sky, mysterious actors, possibly obsessed with his downfall, and at any rate enemies of his well being. Faintly, he wondered what a faint chattering with no discernable source was until he realized his own teeth were chattering. It certainly was not the cold, that is something he hasn't felt so far. Someplace behind him, the crisp sound of a twig snapping caused him to freeze mid-step. All around him, low foliage that makes it by on the feeble drops of sun falling from the canopy above cut his vision to pieces. He couldn't tell what was going on at all.<br>
<br>
He turned slowly during a few horrified seconds to survey the forest behind him but found nothing. The silence and stillness was all the more terrifying. With a huff, he suddenly turned and galvanized into action. Among the many things he learned about this body of his, the combination of very little weight and an unnatural force driving it gave him quite a wonderful capability to run. So run he did, without reservation he flew through the trees in the night. There was little noise naturally due to his light frame and, let us say quiet breaths. All of the hard footfalls were dulled by the stolen clothing wrapping his form and the possible whistling noise he noticed tended to emit from his ribs and nose was disallowed by the heavy cloak obscuring his features. His gloved hands did not even whip through the air loudly as they worked frantically through the air. In moments where he assumed that there was nothing following him from behind he felt an inexplicable pressure of fear right at the back of his neck propelling him forward out of an abundance of caution, until to his left he heard the sound of some creature -- no, music. The distinctly tonal noise of an instrument of some kind drew his head in that direction and reached out to catch a tree with his arm, throwing himself in that direction while losing very little speed.<br>
<br>
Moments later he came sailing bewteen the trees, right toward two human figures. A few meters from them he slowed down, hopping high in the air and slowing to a walk after a few lively bounces, craining his neck behind him and looking around frantically. Rather quickly, he began breathing loudly and pointing behind him, awkwardly stumbling over his words. His wish for deocrum  battled fiercely with his sheer relief. These folks... though they were a little strange, the one on the left seemed to be a mere man carrying an instrument, and the one on the right -- <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"oh, thank the gods, there's a... something -- AH!" </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">he breathed abruptly upon taking in their features, a creature made of bushes with stag horns, but they seemed to be getting along amicably, he raised his hands in front of him defensively, shrinking a little and taking a step back, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)"> <br>
<br>

<br>
After an awkward moment, he stammered finally, </span><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"are either of you foe?"</span></div>

It was a lone man with some kind of stringed instrument. Thankfully, he heeded Ciu'nan's request to stop playing. She didn't really know what she could have done otherwise. The man approached her and pointed to his throat while shaking his head. Instinctively, Ciu'nan began trying to fix things.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh, are you hurt? Do you need healing?"</span></b> she said as she closed the gap between them even further by stepping forward, raising a hand towards his throat.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan stopped herself short, however, as her ears perked up. Something was advancing towards them rapidly from the trees. A figure sprang from the treeline with a bounding leap. Ciu'nan disappeared briefly before reappearing a few feet in the direction of the oncoming figure, a spear held in her hands aimed at its torso. The newcomer skidded to a halt inches from being impaled, backpedaling as its hands raised frantically. Ciu'nan's gaze was fixed on the cloaked figure as it stumbled for words. When it finally asked if they were foes, she relaxed ever so slightly.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Depends on your motives, stranger. Who comes rushing out of the woods in the middle of the night dressed in all black like some ill-omened creature?"</span></b> Ciu'nan pressed for an answer, the spear still brandished towards the stranger.</div>

Even raising his hand up to touch her hand, but the musician heard erratic movement, his head turned as his hand dropped seeing a dark figure coming their way, Adam didn't really know what to do, " <b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">WHAT?</span></span></b> " Adam called out, his voice as deep as a demonic entity's. Just as this dark entity approached them, the woman was faster than Adam had thought, bearing a spear, from Gods know where! Pointing it at the strange stranger, Adam listened to the stranger speak, it sounded as if they weren't trying to approach so quickly. <br>
<br>
Adam moved forward and gently placed a hand on the spear, pointing it down. "<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> <b>Wait.</b></span></span> " Adam spoke, his voice still deep like a demon's, "<b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Do not be alarmed. </span></span></b>" Adam made a face of pain like it was hard to speak, even his voice was shaky. "<b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> I have a deep voice. Like demon's.</span></span></b>" Again his face was one of pain, skipping words to help mitigate as much pain as possible. " <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><b>Violence is not the answer. He should not have approached us as so, and he should remove his hood.</b></span></span> " Adam then coughed into his hand, it sounded bad. Pulling his hand away he had blood in his palm, he didn't look surprised and flicked his hand trying to get some blood off, following it up with wiping his hand on his pants, looking to the stranger, Adam spoke once more. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><b> Please. Reveal yourself.</b></span></span> " He then touched his throat, in pain from speaking again, removing his hand from Ciu'nan's spear and taking a step backwards. <br>

At Adam's voice, the hooded figure shrank away, and also stepped back, looking nervously behind him. While the wolves seemed rather the same, all of the prickling terror which would have rose in his mind, in a different time, at these different ones, a man with such a horrid voice, and a creature with such mystical features, failed to reach him at all. Of all the creatures in this new land, the familiar ones: the humans and the beasts, are the ones which opposed him senselessly and nearly destroyed him. It is as though this world only teaches kindness to the disfigured, and the rare and lonely. Liu laughed nervously and waved his hands toward them in a placating gesture, a winsome tone escaping him, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"wh-why, I'll-omened? For nothing more than a black cloak? While I may be seem so to you, you two are a miracle for me in this wilderness. There was some beast behind me in the foliage, I wish not to meet my doom,"</span> he pleaded irenically. Its hands were clad in mismatched gloves, one leather on the left and a soft white glove on the right.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Nor am I capable of sending either of you to yours, I am nothing but a cartographer,"</span> he continued,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "furthermore,"</span> he added hollowly, some passion draining away from his voice, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I am not wearing all of this clothing in the dead of night for the sake of appearing as a ghost,"</span> he sighed a little exaggeratedly and admitted as though making a confession, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I am disfigured, terribly so, my flesh has been destroyed thoroughly, it is best that you do not look at it, it is of no benefit to you." </span>He straightened and glanced behind him again. There was obvious sincerity in that action which may have contrasted in some fundamental way with the anodyne charade he was putting on, less skillful flourish, less theatrical silliness in the way he proceeded, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I shall even keep my distance, the length of two of my arms at all times at least, just do not send me back into this awful night or I shall have no peace -- I was brought here by music, I thought it may have been an establishment,"</span> he pleaded, looking toward the ground between them and at his arm to make sure that he was indeed at least two arms away, then took another step away for good measure.<br>
<br>
This figure was well covered and loomed in this dark night, quite tall, inhumanly so. A deep shadow covered his face and garments piled over his shoulders and body like a curtain, obscuring an indication of coherent shape beyond that it is most certainly a humanoid. It was difficult to distinguish any features, any number of protrusions or decoration less prominent than horns could be hidden beneath that ensemble. At its side a canvas sack rested. It was rather light and what seemed to be a cylindrical canister protruded from the top of it. Many lumps and rounded shapes pushed against the stretched fabric, and it was uncannily similar to the form of the stranger. Now standing still and subject to closer assessment, the figure also seemed to have an odd shape about it. Parts of the cloak bulged, stretched by some girth underneath while others caved in to form divets in strange places. Sometimes a bulge and a divet occurred right near each other. The proportions around the legs and arms seemed incorrect as well, too thick in the legs for the thickness of the arms.</div>

The music man made the first move to pacify the situation. His voice was unsettling, calling to mind the rougher sort of creatures one might find in the wild. Ciu'nan had never encountered a demon, but she supposed it was likely they would sound much like this man. Despite his unsettling voice, he had called for peace between them. Ciu'nan hesitantly retracted her spear, resting the butt on the ground beside her.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I raised my spear on your behalf, you know...as well as my own. Suddenly hearing fast approaching footsteps would put just about anyone on guard."</span></b> she said with a sheepish smile. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What say we get a fire going, then we can explain ourselves."</span></b><br>
<br>
Stowing the spear on her back, Ciu'nan retrieved a small bundle of kindling she had been keeping dry under her cloak. Walking away from the herd over to one of the poles stuck in the ground, she tore what remained of the fabric free and bound the kindling with it. Using her hand, she dug out a shallow depression and placed the kindling therein. Pulling her pack around, she dug out the flint and steel and began striking one against the other until sparks caught the kindling. She lowered her face next to the smoking bundle and gently blew on it. Suddenly the embers sparked into a small flame.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Quickly! Go gather some more kindling."</span></b> said Ciu'nan as she broke the pole from its spot in the ground and snapped it into smaller pieces.</div>

Was it that cold? Was she going to murder him when he stooped down to desposit his kindling? He snapped into action, rummaging in the little sack to his side to produce a little leather-covered box, inside it a fuzzy carpet of shredded wood. Its sallow color suggested it was produced by shaving the exposed inside of a log. He gingerly pinched at it with his white felt glove rather than the chunky leather one and approached quickly. Once near, he deposited a healthy amount into the weak ember. He leaned forward with his length of limb and dropped the cushion of wood fiber so that its outer edge was on the feeble orange light, that way it was not completely smothered. Then he leaned back and glanced at the other two carefully.<br>
<br>
Some trepidation remained. The loud one had no ill intent toward him but the lady stag did have a spear and certainly would have no trouble destroying him if she wished. Their urgency was nonetheless amiable enough that he pinched some more shredded wood fiber and held it over the baby fire, turning the vacuous face of his robed head toward the forest creature and the demonic man with an air of expectation, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I'm afraid my breath is weak dear spirits, if you would be so kind,"</span> he requested, inclining his head toward the kindling. Where he was poised over the fire pit, his manifold robe's pieces dangled strangely down, many ribbons and scarves of black fabric. He would seem impoverished if they were not relatively clean and new. Rather notably, while he waited, his form was unusually still and taut. In living creatures there is always a type of trembling energy, subtle unimportant unsteadiness that is not present in him.</div>

With a soft sigh, Adam looked and sounded relieved once this strange woman pulled her spear away, the guitarist gave a friendly smile, seeing that this would luckily resolve peacefully. His eyes moved to Ciu'nan who said that she was going to defend him, then stated she was also protecting herself. Adam did show a grin along with a deep and friendly chuckle, trying to lighten the mood, his eyes looked to the mysterious stranger who declined on revealing themselves, which did raise a brow from the metal musician, until he explained that they were disfigured, Adam understood but he didn't mind, he didn't judge people based on their appearances. But it seemed to Adam that this person wasn't comfortable with showing people their face. Adam wouldn't press the situation anymore and instead dropped it. <br>
<br>
The long-haired man's eyes moved back to Ciu'nan stating they should get a fire started, nodding his head to starting a fire, Adam agreed on getting kindling for the group, being quick and grabbing much of it. In Adam's previous life, his parents had a lot of money but were very cold, luckily Adam would sometimes go to his grandparent's place, where they lived in the countryside and were more old fashion, having a wood stove, Adam preferred living there. It was very nice, relaxing, quiet, and peaceful. He was taught about getting together firewood and kindling, Adam would gather quite a bit, easily getting a whole bundle in his arms since they were in a forest, once the place to get a fire started was decided, Adam placed the fuel down into the firepit and took a seat, placing his guitar on his lap. <br>

The long-haired man was most helpful in collecting wood. Each piece he brought seemed carefully chosen to burn perfectly. Ciu'nan thanked him for his contribution as he deposited a rather large stack near the fire. The cloaked individual was less helpful, choosing only to pinch sawdust onto the flames. At first, Ciu'nan thought it might be magical in nature and help produce a flame, but her curious look relaxed into flat realization that he was indeed simply sprinkling a growing flame with mundane wood particles. She managed a less enthusiastic 'thank you' for his efforts. Ciu'nan herself didn't stray far from the flame, using her body to shield it from the slight breeze filtering into the clearing. By the time, the musician came with his stack, the fire was stable enough that she began propping twigs on it to stoke it higher.<br>
<br>
With the stack of wood in arm's reach, and the fire stoked decently high, Ciu'nan motioned for the other two to have a seat. Resting her spear on the ground at her side, the fae sat crossed legged and leaned toward the fire with her hands outstretched to soak in the warmth. The other end of the clearing was mostly quiet except the pacing of a few bucks keeping watch, which Ciu'nan noted as bizarre behavior for deer. Her attention returned to her unexpected companions.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"See? Nothing like a little fire to </span></b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><b>lighten</b></span><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"> the mood!"</span></b> she joked with a small yet genuine laugh. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I guess I'll go first. I am called Ciu'nan, a fae native to the forests of Ryken, though I travel all over the region. I act as a go-between for the villages and nature. Put plainly, I help humans understand the actions of animals, which is why I'm following this herd of deer. According to the village that requested my assistance, these deer periodically assemble in the plains near the town and travel east. About a week later, the herds return to their native regions. They are an odd bunch from what I've seen so far. Like right now, for instance. See how those bucks are pacing and standing watch? Aside from the fact that the bucks seem to be cooperating, deer in general don't stand watch through the night. It's really strange."</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan rummaged through her pack for a small satchel which contained several dark berries. She pulled a few out with her fingertips and thoughtfully popped them into her mouth. Her eyes glanced towards the two sharing her fire.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh, I'm sorry! Would you like some? All I have are these berries for rations at the moment."</span></b> she said while extending them towards the other two.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The skeleton was quite happy with the way the tiny ember grew just a little bit. Idly, he wondered when the part came where they made the fire bigger and as if on cue Adam appeared with an adequate armful of material to burn. Sheepish at the realization, he began to stand to do the same but between the size of his pile and her beckoning for him to sit, he held his tongue and embarrassment and allowed the slight to pass. He had slowly begun to forget these kinds of things. Light to see, food to eat, warmth to survive the cold nights, a pang of worry shot up his spine as he realized that gradually, these things were distancing themselves from him, only memories which he seemed eager to forget. The cavernous moment before she began speaking filled his mind with dread at what else he might forget, trepidation -- what if some of the important human pieces were tied to mere desire? If only he had paid more attention in school. Her words chased the agitated musing away and he welcomed something to fixate on. His lumpy form turned toward her and he visibly relaxed as she cracked a joke and began speaking without malice or suspicion. <br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1651533439111-png.980995/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/918/918125-af5c1250acd9924dfbf69cf5d7cb51a6.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="1651533439111.png" title="1651533439111.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a><br>
Once her explanation concluded, Liu turned toward the fire and stared into it for a few moments, silently considering her words. Despite the growing light, the deep shadow of his hood seemed to resist most of the light. Her role puzzled him; he remembered encountering in the furthest reaches of society in towns which still relied on hunting, they played the role of knowing the minds of animals, so to speak, and their behavior. She offered them some berries, a gesture which pulled him out of his pensive state, he looked toward it and gently raised his hand toward them to indicate that he did not wish to eat them, and he spoke, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"a hunter who does not kill animals, but instead teaches and learns. You are a philosopher then, no? To spread and gather knowledge chiefly, I suppose, yes..."</span> he paused for a moment and added, quieter, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"among other things, I'm sure."</span><br>
<br>
Perhaps she would know which pieces of a person are animal and which pieces are magic. Absently he reached to his side and grasped the metal canister jutting from his bag, laying it across his thighs -- he sat down on top of his shins with his legs pressed together and pointed at the fire. This was of course in anticipation of being interrogated, being, honestly, the creepiest one here, he had no choice but to admit that much. It was about two and a half feet long, made of some kind of thin metal, or perhaps merely banded with it, and blackened except by the top, where the metal cap has scratched the metal and turned it shiny again.</div>

Once his guitar was ready, Adam placed the guitar on his lap and began to play a quiet tune so that it wouldn't disturb the deer. A simple and looping tune that wouldn't get crazy. Legion's eyes closed as he would constantly play this tune. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube"><span><span style="background:url(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/VTHPXnHGEzA/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% / cover" data-s9e-mediaembed-iframe="[&quot;allowfullscreen&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrolling&quot;,&quot;no&quot;,&quot;style&quot;,&quot;background:url(https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/VTHPXnHGEzA\/hqdefault.jpg) 50% 50% \/ cover&quot;,&quot;src&quot;,&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VTHPXnHGEzA&quot;]"></span></span></span><br>​</div><br>
He then heard the woman speak, she was very otherworldly and that was probably why Legion was so intrigued. Hearing her name, Legion dipped his head respectfully. He opened his mouth to speak, " <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I am Adam. But when I play. I am Legion.</span> " His voice rumbling and deep. This strange lady, Cui'nan was rather strange, she was following a herd of deer and teaching those who knew nothing about them, and how to respect the forest. <br>
<br>
When offered a berry, Legion would stop his playing for a moment, taking a couple berries into his hand and chowing them down. Adam had a look in his eye that showed approval, he then placed the tips of his fingers on his chin and let his hand fall in front of him. A form of thank you for those that couldn't speak. Then Legion would begin playing his quiet tune, once more. <br>

The musician, who identified himself as Adam and Legion, accepted Ciu'nan's berries, but the cloaked figure abstained with an upheld hand, like some apparition forbidding passage to eldritch secrets. The fae took no offense, though she did offer him a look of concern.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Just let me know if you change your mind, ok?"</span></b> Ciu'nan said to him before turning to Adam. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"So why are you called 'Legion' while you play? Why not just be Adam? Seems like the name juggling would make things tricky. Like now, for instance, a moment ago you were Adam, but now that you're playing again, you are Legion, right? Oh! What if I called you Adam while you were playing? Would you ignore me?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Suffice to say, Adam's alternate identity and the circumstances surrounding it had intrigued Ciu'nan. Her barrage of questions was out of genuine curiosity, but the last question was said with a playful tone.</div>

Best not to waste the resources anyway. He turned then to the musician. The man's statement was compelling in some way. After a moment's soul searching while the fae creature spoke, he realized it was familiar in feeling. Though he searched for some way to articulate the slurry of gooey, faintly connected memories and mirrored emotion he found no way to share it. It remained stuck in him like a dry bolus and then was washed down by the music. For just an instant before the lady fae finished speaking, he felt the sensation of having skin. In retrospect, the weight of Adam's statement and that of his empathizing seemed to differ. He chose to let it go and enjoy the music. No matter how simple the tune was, it had been a long time since he had heard any at all, and this stringed instrument, though familiar, produced singularly soothing sounds, or perhaps strikingly penetrating sounds. Sometimes the popping of the fire played the part of a percussion accompaniment.<br>
<br>
The lady fae posed a battery of questions, he had no intention of competing. Liu simply sat for a moment and listened to the conversation while reaching for the lid of the canister. With a quiet metallic scratch, the lid was removed and placed on the ground beside him. Dull amber and mottled, a thick roll of vellum peeked out of the top of the canister. He pinched it with his white gloved hand and drew a thick roll of cured membrane from the tube. The flickering fire revealed the faint outlines of squiggling lines on the paper once he carefully, with deliberate and muted actions, unrolled it only a quarter of a foot or so, and rested it across his knees. His hooded dome turned down to peer at it.</div>

<br>

The moon in silver trees<br>
Falls down in tears<br>
Light of the night<br>
The Earth, a purple blaze<br>
Of sapphire haze<br>
In orbit always<br>
While down below the trees<br>
Bathed in cool breeze<br>
Silver starlight breaks down the night<br>
And so we pass on by the crimson eye<br>
Of great god Mars</i></span><br>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Legion then finished his playing as it faded to silence, his eyes stopped glowing silver and he turned his head to Cui'nan, giving a kind smile. He cleared his throat and prepared for speaking. "</span><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b> Adam I am now.</b> </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">" Adam had a look of pain on his face upon speaking, but still tried to hold his smile, his voice back to sounding like a demon's.

He cleared his throat looking at Cui'nan, having a look of amusement when she tried to distract him from playing his music. Giving a cough, Adam realized he still hadn't answered her previous question of why he was walking through the forest. Adam knew this would probably hurt. "</span><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b> I helped save a village from trolls with my music. While playing, I was showed a vision of my bandmates, they are here in this world somewhere.

Finally coughing down, he looked to the female Fae to see her reaction. It seemed the mysterious stranger was going to be a observer rather than a participant. <br>

Ciu'nan's playful demeanor involuntarily relaxed into unexpected adoration. She understood now why Adam needed a new name for himself when he sang: it truly was like he was another person. The fae wasn't sure if 'Legion' was the best fit, but she would let that thought rest. When Legion stopped playing, she clapped lightly, beaming at him. He spoke again, but now as Adam, revealing briefly what brought him to the forest. Watching him struggle with his voice, Ciu'nan remembered her efforts to heal him earlier were interrupted.<br>

<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Oh, right, your voice! Let me see if I can heal it."</span></b> she said rising onto her hands and knees and crawling over to him.<br>
<br>
A soft glow emanated from her palm as she raised a hand to his throat. She held it there for a moment, her eyes looking hopeful. As the light faded, her eyes turned down apologetically.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"This isn't the type of thing I can heal yet, I'm afraid. Did that soothe it at all?"</span></b> She asked hopeful as she scooched back to her spot.<br>
<br>
A sound from her right caused her to look to the hooded figure. He had withdrawn a tube that unfurled a sheet of some kind.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What do you have there?"</span></b> she asked him.<br>
<br>
((Ciu'nan only has Healing F, so superficial wounds essentially.))</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1651793741962-png.981967/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/919/919097-af5c1250acd9924dfbf69cf5d7cb51a6.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="1651793741962.png" title="1651793741962.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a>As Adam began to sing, Liu paid close attention. At first it was out of adoration, it had been even longer since he had the privilege of hearing one sing. The lyrics were general and sweet, a grand picture of the night sky he reckoned. He swayed just a little as he was carried along. Just then, Adam referenced the orbit of the earth. Liu stopped swaying immediately. Like when a tsunami rolls in and the tide recedes greatly, a tension built at the base of his spine. The vellum sheet slipped just a little bit out of his grasp. Indeed, he had no ideas about the cosmology of this world. Perhaps this realm, which contained the stuff of legends and more, had the same cosmology as proposed by religions. A great island in a sea of souls, a rock perched on a turtle, so forth. Perhaps it was stationary and merely spun, or perhaps the sun was a boat driven by a bird man. Liu listened, enraptured for a new reason, and then Adam mentioned Mars. An electric tingling spread up and down his spine and over his shoulder bones and if he had a stomach it would have sank through the ground. Liu began trembling mildly and stared for a fair few moments, through their conversation. It couldn't be a coincidence. How many random folktales and local pubs does it take to spin a myth? It was unmistakably something from that other life which mingled in his memories, a line uninterrupted from one body to the next.<br>
<br>
Liu stood abruptly, clenching the vellum in his hand, peering down at Adam. Excitement was a strange sensation in this new body. There was no heart to beat out of his chest or stomach to clench. It was more like a strange haze over his thoughts attracting a wordless confusion, like static in the mind. When she would ask him about his map, he would have already been standing. On the proverbial tip of his tongue was a battery of questions about his world before. Something stopped him, trepidation, cowardice perhaps; he had no wish to confront the apocalyptic sensation of reminiscing about a world that may not even exist to those in this one. A moment of relaxation came to him. He thought this place might have been the afterlife anyway. Perhaps it was. Perhaps this man was a dead earth-dwelling person who has a dead earth-dwelling performing troupe. Perhaps they traveled town to town, like the circuses in his home country, with their superhuman acrobatics and impossible magic. Liu sat down. Perhaps it is better not to think about the world before. Perhaps the world before was too broken, sad, dull to drag here. Perhaps this is where people go to be liberated from the world before.<br>
<br>
Liu made the sound of taking in a deep breath and then exhaling, in the strange supernatural way that he is able and apologized, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"forgive me," </span>he began, gently smoothing out the vellum and carefully rolling it back to the way it was.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"That music... reminded me of many things, I mean no offense, it was a wonderful work of skill,"</span> he reassured them in a distracted tone. It wasn't until then that he stopped staring at Adam. He turned his head back to the vellum and tipped it along the surface of his legs toward the fire gleaming just a couple feet away so that its light could reveal the thin wandering lines of a map, of topography, the regular and repeated patterns universally indicating trees or mountains. In the wavering light it may have given anyone without augmented senses in the dark a hard time reading it, but it seemed to be of usable quality. There was a border where all of the detail disappeared, and visible was a landmark a few miles toward town which jutted from the forest, unmistakeable as a feature of the local geography.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"This map, I made it, that is what I do to survive and make my money these days," </span>he explained, his voice hollow. He reached into his sack at the side. Those familiar with the world would expect rigid pens and jars of ink but instead Liu produced the tools of a painter. Specifically, a container of paste-consistency paint and the thinnest painter brush anyone could stand to use.</div>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1651801424696-png.981999/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/919/919129-833b5722f685e360cbdd97d87986399c.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1651801424696.png" title="1651801424696.png" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Adam's eyes widen a little when he watched Cui'nan get onto her hands and knees then crawl towards him, his heart racing a bit fast when she came up towards him, he couldn't lie that she was pretty. And it was surprising she would be coming towards Adam; in his eyes she would see the shock. Adam swallowed thickly while she raised her hand to his throat, speaking that she could try to heal his voice, Adam thought it would be very nice to speak normally, he hated having to prepare to speak and how much it hurt, sometimes he would cough up blood if he spoke too much. His hand instinctively came up about to gently grasp hers, but he let it fall when he realized what he almost did.<br>
<br>
When Cui'nan attempted to heal his throat, Adam could feel a warm feeling in his throat, he felt it barely open up, but it felt better now. The first time in a long time he felt like he could speak just a little better. Adam's hand came back up but to his throat when she backed up, admitting she wasn't able to fully heal him, Adam had a look of happiness and appreciation on his face. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I can talk better now. </span></b>" Adam still somewhat cringed at speaking, but his face showed less pain. His eyes looked to the beautiful fae before him, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Thank you, Cui'nan, I am in your debt.</span></b> " Adam still sounded like a demon but he looked like he was in less pain. Adam would notice the stranger, Liu, was looking his way, Adam had the face of confusion at first.<br>
<br>
But as Liu explained himself, Adam had a smile on his face when told that the song he sang was wonderful, this made Adam feel much better. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Thank you, good compeer.</span></b> " The metal musician still held a look of pain after talking but his eyes would move to his lap where he saw Liu was working on something, a map. Adam wasn't much good at geography but he could appreciate something of this nature. Especially a field he himself was not good at or knew nothing of.<br>

The night waxed on. Overhead the moon was far from fully achieving the pinnacle of its arc through the sky but was making good progress. Regardless of the moon's position above, the creatures of the wood below asserted that night was indeed upon them. Off in the distance a lone wolf howled with none to answer. Much closer to the small campfire, an owl hooted its good humor as its prowl began anew. Bats and other winged things could be seen, just barely by those without enhanced vision, flying occasionally overhead.<br>
<br>
A southwesterly breeze took the smoke from the fire away from the direction of the nesting deer, which was probably why they hadn't moved since the fire was started. The bucks still paced; their unnatural night watch going unchallenged by other creatures in the wood. Ciu'nan offered silent thanks that this wasn't bear country, which was further north. The journey would have been far more dangerous in that case.<br>
<br>
The fire was burning comfortably hot now. Ciu'nan propped another few sticks onto it for good measure. She made a mental note that she'll have to forage again tomorrow, or else try to catch some small game along the way, as her berry pouch was nearly empty. Maybe they'd pass a river. Ciu'nan hadn't had fish in a while.<br>
<br>
The fae had said her piece. Adam had elaborated some as requested, expressing gratitude for Ciu'nan's efforts to heal him. Now she turned to the cloaked one. A mapmaker by his own confession and with the tools and work to prove it.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You are brave then."</span></b> Ciu'nan said matter-of-factly. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"To travel the countryside alone just so that someone might know what is out there in the wilderness. A very noble and selfless cause. And what is the name of this fearless mapmaker that shares the fire with us this night?"</span></b></div>

My name is Liu, family name is Fey (Fei) --"</span> he paused for a refined, restrained 'hm' which could have been a laugh, gesturing gently toward Ciu'nan <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I assure it it is not a jest,"</span> before placing his hands in his lap. He stared down at the vellum unmoving and added quietly, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"well I assure you that I do not give my maps away after I make them,"</span> with a solemn air. He did not wish to contradict her. It was certainly not for altruistic reasons that he makes maps. It is something to do, something to make money with. Refined, yet it commands one to be away in the wilds. A sudden realization dawned on him. Perhaps this meeting was somewhat more fortuitous than he first imagined. He would be skulking the woods constantly for the forseeable future. The woods, dank dungeons and the like. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I have only been making maps for a few months now,"</span> he offered, turning to Adam, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"how long have you been able to share music with others?"</span> he asked the imposing figure, his shoulders squarely toward him for a moment. After that moment he turned back forward and began working on the map some more. He placed the ink in front of him on the ground and produced a waterskin, tipping just a little into the pot. In short order he was moving his right hand deftly over the surface of the map, depositing regular figures over it. The fluffy indications of a forest. There was a frontier of blank paper where he reached. He suddenly stopped drawing his little trees and began tracing a shape. Of course he intended on asking Ciu'nan the same question shortly.</div>

Adam watched the cloak man speak, his eyes staring at the map he had made, he has always been impressed with those that can make maps. He wasn't sure how they did it but they of all people could. Especially an occupation as important and precise as this one. It is what made adventurers go on their adventures. His eyes looked up to this Fei who asked him how long he has done music for, even though he has been making maps for a few months, it would seem this Fei was very new to this map making business. Adam cleared his throat, attempting to speak. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I am twenty eight years old.</span></b> " His face made a look of pain as he spoke in his evil sounding voice. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">I have playing for about twenty years, I believe.</span></b> " The musician rubbed his throat after speaking, although in his head, he began reminiscing about his life and music career, he remembered his band, how they were on top of the world! "<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> Since I was young.</span></b> " He wasn't exactly sure himself but it had to be around twenty years. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">So, why make maps? What got you into doing such a thing?</span></b> " Adam asked Fei, even if it hurt. <br>

Ciu'nan had been looking at whoever was speaking, but as the boys began talking her eyes drifted to the fire. She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them while resting her chin on top. It was getting late after all, so the signs of fatigue were understandable. Even so, her ears perked up at Adam mentioning he was twenty-eight. She glanced at him briefly before returning to the fire. That was his age: how long he had been in the world.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">How long have I...?</span></i><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan closed her eyes for a moment, before scrunching them as her arms shot out to either side then rose up in an exaggerated stretch. She stood, kicking her toes into the ground.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm gonna, erm, water the flowers. I'll be right back."</span></b> she said.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan went across the clearing into the trees, one of the bucks watching her as she went. Her vision displayed the dark woods in shades of gray as she wandered in a ways. After several yards, she moved behind a tree and leaned against it.<br>
<br>
It's hard to tell someone you're only seven years old. She awoke in a bed of flowers out in the woods, her body then just as it was now. No mother. No family. Well, the flowers were her family, she supposed. The forest, her mother. The animals, her siblings. Seven years ago now. Ciu'nan let out a sigh as her eyes fell to her feet. Well, she had already come all this way, might as well....<br>
<br>
Finishing her business, the fae wandered back to the clearing. She let out a yawn as she broke free of the trees. Approaching the fire again made her remember how cold the night was as she shivered. Ciu'nan grabbed her pack as she set down and propped it up behind her against one of the mounds. Laying back against it, she let out a sigh.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It's getting late, lads. This fae is ready to turn in for the night."</span></b></div>

Liu looked up and tilted his head at the abrupt movement by Ciu'nan. He dismissed the possibly uncomfortable comportment and watched her go for a moment before turning back to the fire.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"That is a long time, to me,"</span> he admitted, looking down at the paper in his hands and turning it back and forth gently in the firelight, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I think I am similar in age to you,"</span> he continued diffidently, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"but it gets difficult to count. I have lived a very desperate existence for the past, let us say, few years. I do not know in reality how long it has been. I was a military man, you see, a ship's captain briefly -- too briefly. In a war,"</span> and there he paused for an uncomfortably long time, staring into the fire. Once there was energy and attention and ardor but how do you wrap up the nuance of your life's purpose once it has been spent, once it is finished, is it even worth mentioning any more? How do you sum up the longest decade of your life, the lion's share of your soul?<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Well, we won,"</span> he breathed flippantly, a tired shrug visible even from under the cloth,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "we won and now I have nothing else."</span> Another pause. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Nothing else to do, is what I mean, of course,"</span> he assured him while forcing a laugh.<br>
<br>
 <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I create maps because I have discovered a preternatural affinity for art and I lack the whimsy or patience for mixing color,"</span> he chuckled, turning his map toward Adam so that the fire's light could catch the images on the paper. They were not so detailed, the trees and the mountains, at first glance. They were numerous and precise, taking up no more space on the paper than they would if one were in the sky looking down upon their form. Of course, their perspective was warped a little for the benefit of aesthetics. There was, as he mentioned, little in the way of color. It was black ink. There in the lines of the sea of trees forming their forest a surprisingly detailed path lived mimicking the detailed and chaotic silhouette of trees as they were. Where breaks and clearings in the forest on the paper sat, they were present also in the land. Perhaps it was enough to distract from the faint impression forming that he wasn't telling the entire story, for better or for worse.</div>

Adam listened to Fei speak, he had a smile on his face as he spoke of them being similar in age, although to Adam he always felt like his life had flew faster than it should have but he has always enjoyed life, as much as his parents were evil and tried to use him for money. Adam's eyes looked over to Cui'nan who got up and walked away, stating that she was going to... Water flowers? Now of all times, he felt tempted to follow after her but instead he stayed his hand and his eyes moved back to Fei. Stating that twenty eight was a long time for the cloaked figure. Adam gave a small chuckle at his comment until he then explained that he used to be a military man, navy actually, even stating to be a captain. Adam had a sense of respect for those who served in the military, no matter what they did. They did what no other could do, or would. <br>
<br>
Adam instinctively got to his feet, placing his guitar on the ground. Standing straight up, Adam saluted to Fei, his feet together, a proper pose. He cleared his throat, eyes full of respect and determination. " <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>Thank you for your service. </b></span>" Adam spoke with respect, as off putting as his voice was, he wanted Fei to know Adam had respect for veterans. " <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>I once did a concert for veterans, we wanted to show our appreciation for them to rise up to the call of duty. It takes a lot of courage, bravery, and balls to do such a thing.</b> </span>" Adam began to think back on that concert, it went on for hours all night, military men could rock like no one else. But once Cui'nan came back and declared they should fall asleep, Adam looked back to Fei, " <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>Well. I'll retire, again, thank you for your service, Fei. </b></span>" Adam bowed his head slightly as he sat down taking his guitar, he laid down looking up at the canopy of the forest. Adam slowly closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep. <br>

The night passed in frigid silence, the worst of the chill kept at bay by the fire. Thankfully the northerly breeze ushered in warmer temperatures by first light. It would be an unusually warm spring day by noon. The herd's path would maintain an eastern bearing, which would keep everyone in the forest's shade.<br>
<br>
An owl was hooting a good morning, or perhaps good night, to those within earshot as the sun broke free of the horizon. The fire had long since calmed to smoldering embers, leaving those relying on its heat shivering as they waited for the sun's heat. On the other side of the clearing the herd waited for no creature as the bucks bellowed the call to move out.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan awoke with a shiver as she pulled her pelt tighter around her. Longing to stoke the fire yet having no time, she kicked dirt onto it to smother the embers. Anyone who wasn't already awake would be roused by a light tap from her foot in short order. While everyone collected themselves, Ciu'nan surveyed their surroundings with her keen hearing.<br>
<br>
Off in the direction the herd was moving, she thought she could hear the sound of rushing water. Beyond that, there was just the usual stillness of early morning with occasional bird song sprinkled throughout. At one point she thought she heard the sound of wings flapping, but it was quickly covered up by the sound of the wind and rustling trees.<br>
<br>
Once everyone was ready, Ciu'nan took the lead following after the herd.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It sounds like a stream is nearby. The herd will likely stop there to drink. We should do the same and fill our waterskins. I'd suggest splashing your face too if you're still groggy."</span></b> Ciu'nan said in a low tone.<br>
<br>
The fae's ears had heard right. About thirty yards away from the clearing a stream meandered through the trees. The deer stood by, in, and around the stream as they drank and passed waste. Figuring as much, Ciu'nan led her companions upstream from the herd for fresh water.<br>
<br>
Dipping her skin under the cool water, she watched it bubble as it filled. Once full, she lifted the skin to her mouth and drank deeply. Repeating this process a few times until she had her fill, she stowed the waterskin on her waist.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Drink your fill. The herd will drink plenty then graze. Once they start moving, however, that's it. We have about a half hour to find something to eat."</span></b></div>

It made little sense to him. It seemed a blind statement to make, and though he would not admit it, the man's gratitude rang through his empty skull throughout most of the night while he stared at the dying fire. He did not sleep but he quietly laid down on his back and stared upward. The possibility that the man somehow knew of him before he was sent to this world and shared this body with something else did not even enter his mind, except as a joke perhaps. Eventually his mind wandered to other things. His goals, his discoveries. He imagined that perhaps he would not be so welcome to either of them if a stray breeze were to knock his hood aside. At some point at night a twig breaking stirred him and he turned to the side to see the disappearing tail of some small creature, and he laid back down.<br>
<br>
Eventually he sat back up, just a little bit of time before the sun began lightening the horizon. The weak sound of a sigh erupted from his empty chest. Indeed, he should not linger long with these folks. He got to his feet with Ciu'nan. In the early morning light, his tall figure seemed less imposing. Just a big bundle of garment walking around harmlessly without the aid of the darkness and natural sense of danger. Bending at the hip, he draped his long arm into the river to fill his waterskin as well. Once this morning ritual concluded, he stood up straight and addressed Ciu'nan cordially.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I thank you for allowing me to stay with you last night. I know that I am not normal to behold. I hope you two have found confidence that I mean no harm," </span>he offered gently while tucking his waterskin into the sizeable sack at his waist.</div>

Adam's slept silently through the night, his arms and legs crossed, the guitar he wielded was hugged tightly in his arms. He didn't dream this night, but then again Adam hasn't dreamed in years. He would hear rustling and he groaned a bit, adjusting himself for a moment until his eyes opened up, looking up at the canopy above them, he shook his head and sat up seeing Cui'nan already up. Adam rubbed his eyes, trying to rub the drowsiness out of him. Adam dropped his hands and looked at the group, then shook his head as he stood up, taking his guitar into one hand. He looked to the beautiful Cui'nan and took a deep breath, " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Good morning. </span></b>" He spoke deeply but as if he just woke up, since he did just wake up. <br>
<br>
Adam was ready to move, since all he had was his guitar axe, he followed after Cui'nan, Adam stared all around him at nature. It was nice being back out here in nature, Cui'nan mentioned a stream nearby, Adam could go for a drink of water and needed to splash water on his face. When they reached the water source, Adam placed his guitar down on the ground and knelt down splashing water onto his face, the coldness woke Adam up immediately. He shook his face. " <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Whoo! </span></b>" He wiped his face off of water, shaking his head. He then took water into his hands and began drinking handfuls of water. Eventually he drank his fill, Adam stood up wiping his mouth of dripping water. He picked up his guitar and threw the strap over his shoulder. Awaiting to move on. <br>

Though the sky had begun to wax a redder hue from the sun cresting over the horizon, the trees prevented the light and would continue to do so for another hour or so. All around them the arboreal watchers rose high above them unlike their shorter, tamer kin closer to the domesticated plains surrounding Ryken. These were trees with deep roots and aspirations to surpass Icarus's mark in the heavens, yet even such as these were still mere saplings compared to the legendary world trees of bygone eras. Their ambitions were apparent, however, as they had shed all vanity, stretching gnarled roots far and wide beneath as their trunks bulged and rippled ever wider to support their skyward reach. These were the mothers and fathers of the forest, sheltering the strays and the natives alike in their boughs.<br>
<br>
The deer, though mere pilgrims here, conducted themselves as though they belonged as true heirs to this kingdom of bark and foliage. Having their fill of the stream, the herd spread over the valleys between the enormous trees getting the day's fill of vegetation. Three bucks orchestrated the herd with a handful of other bucks serving more passive roles. Each subset of the herd kept to its own and foraged for what bounty the forest had to offer.<br>
<br>
Up river where Ciu'nan had led Adam and Fei, the land rose gently as a prelude to the hill country they were about to enter to the east. The men had their fill of water and now looked to her for guidance. Fei expressed his gratitude for their company and hoped he would continue to be welcomed.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Mr. Fei you have been a treat. Your mapmaking is most exquisite, and I'm glad you shared the campfire with us last night!"</span></b> Ciu'nan answered the cloaked figure. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You two are welcomed to join me, but I can't guarantee how easy the journey will be for you. If the herd keeps heading east like it is, we'll hit the foothills of the mountains. The only grace is that the area is heavily forested, so travelling speed will be mostly manageable.<br>
"In any case, you have some time to consider your options while we gather rations. You can see if you can find fish in the river, you can try and hunt small game, or you can forage for berries and such. If you forage but don't know what you're looking for, I would watch for where the deer or other critters eat: they will lead you to edible plants. Look for half eaten fruits underneath the bushes or nearby droppings. I'll see if I can find some game, then return to forage as the herd moves out."</span></b><br>
<br>
((Playing out your foraging attempts is up to you. Abbreviate as you like. We can skip to the herd moving out otherwise.))</div>

Off to one side, the river, its trailing net of stringy disturbances rotating and eddying along reflecting the soft grey morning sky. It was an astonishingly quiet formation and he joined it in its silence at Ciu'nan's complementary response. A meager chuckle and inclination of his shoulders toward her was all he could manage after a few moments. A detached air slipped into his comportment. In the way he stood and turned his face down toward the water as though he forgot it were there for a moment. Inwardly of course there was conflict. He could not pretend any longer that he did not require company. Circuity formed along his path every time a new companion came along but perhaps, he reasoned, the longer he walked the more powerful he could become. And then perhaps one day he can wander into the kind of territory he wanted to enter without being accompanied. Perhaps he would no longer need to be babysat in dangerous situations if he delayed himself from his destination long enough. Blooming in his empty chest, just a little surety pulled his feet from the mud, nodding his acknowledgement of her request.<br>
<br>
When Adam announced his departure, Liu felt a touch of relief. When the dark man offered his thanks, in Liu's opinion blindly to him for being a soldier, he found it endearing but worryingly naiive. Liu did not any longer have a taste for debating people though, it was too similar to the belittling, rugged arrogance with which he carried himself stiffly all those years. Rigid with unwavering and absolute assurance that all he stood for was correct and he had to stand stout like a wall holding back all the wrong things happening. He had to come down on those below them if they showed weakness. Vapors of long stale desperation, dead illusions of superiority and righteousness wafted through his skull while he watched Adam go. Indeed, he was glad he did not have to ask why he would thank him for his service, to a cause unknown. It had to be a sign of progress, at least, that Liu would at least defer thanks to those who devote themselves to causes which strive for blamelessness. Bloodthirsty power grabs are wrong, Liu reasoned finally before bowing in return to the man's back. With that simple goodbye he turned to the forest nearby.<br>
<br>
Liu spent a thoughtful 30 minutes in dense brush. He had no trouble finding his way back to the riverbank where they first convened in the morning. How embarrassing would it be as a mapmaker to get lost? In the one hand gloved by thick brown leather, a squirrel with its neck broken dangled stiffly. He presented it to the fae creature with some sort of air, imperceptible as a result of the bundles of fabric over his form.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I have never learned how to undress this kind of creature,"</span> he joked somewhat naughtily before presenting the dead beast to her, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"so I believe this is more for you to keep,"</span> he suggested, leaning forward with his lengthy form and waiting for her to take the thing from him. From his side, branches and leaves poked out. Ciu'nan ought to recognize them as the foliage of plants producing edible berries. A couple of bright spots of color in the bed of foliage indicated he gathered berries as well.</div>

Before Ciu'nan could start her brief hunt, Adam announced he would be leaving. She turned to him and stared for a moment before giving him a nod.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"May the trees part their branches on your most favorable path, Adam. I hope you find what you are looking for."</span></b> she said.<br>
<br>
Adam went his way and Ciu'nan turned to begin her hunt. Off to her side, she heard Liu shuffling off into the brush, seemingly also looking to hunt. A game then!<br>
<br>
Even in the dark, the forest still had a bounty to offer. Nocturnal hunters and scavengers came in all shapes and sizes. Although many of them would be returning to their roosts and hollows to bed. Even so, Ciu'nan perked her ears up and listened for signs of passage, her spear in hand.<br>
<br>
The wind soft and subtle provided a whispering ambience to the forest's sound. Off to Ciu'nan's right something rustled in the bushes. Ahead of her a twig snapped. Overhead, birds emitted mild salutations to the coming day. One of the birds took flight suddenly. A skittering sound came from the ground, interrupted by a flap of wings amidst a brief bout of squeaks. More flapping of wings then the sound of talons gripping a branch.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan opened her eyes and spotted an owl perched on a branch ready to consume its catch. She slowly raised her spear. Drawing back the haft, her eyes locked onto her prey. The owl was looking around, its head spinning impossibly far as only owl's can. Content with its surroundings, it glanced down at its catch once more and lowered its beak to feast. A near silent release stirred the air as the spear came hurtling towards the owl. It would not react in time, its death all but assured.<br>
<br>
As the spear was about to strike, an unseen force suddenly diverted the spear's path, causing it to miss and fly past the owl into a tree beyond. All Ciu'nan heard was the sound of a sudden gust. She looked quizzically at the startled owl as it scooped up its prey and flew to a different tree. Ciu'nan let out a sigh as she went to collect her spear.<br>
<br>
The spear had landed fairly high up on the tree. As she started to climb up, she glanced back at the spot where the owl had been. As odd as the incident was, she could see no obvious cause.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I guess the forest said 'no'."</span></b> she said to herself.<br>
<br>
With that she collected her spear and returned to the river where Liu was waiting. He had managed to catch a squirrel at least, which he handed to her, declaring that he had no idea how to "undress" it. Wind forcibly escaped through Ciu'nan's lips as she giggled at his joke.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I think you mean 'dress', Mr. Fei. I'll take the squirrel if you keep those berries protruding from your hip. I'll be grabbing some for myself when the herd moves out."</span></b> she said.</div>

<br>
He gently rubbed his hands clean of stray fur and some grime from the creature's tail. The fur was stiff and sticky, a wild creature to be sure. Fei stood silently for a time, drinking in the sounds around him. Finding little difference between the chaotic din of the forest waking up and the chaotic din of a city waking up, he asked Ciu'nan idly,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "so I understand you are tracking these creatures for their strange behavior. Do you know of any monuments in the direction we are headed? Any special places in the direction they migrate?"</span> With a final swipe of his palm over the leg of his pants, he knelt down  where he was standing and waited for her to respond, casting his gaze curiously toward the herd of creatures stirring not terribly far away. Their mystery and majesty had his interest at the very least.</div>

Ciu'nan grabbed a strand of rope from her bag and tied one end around the squirrel and the other to her belt. After that was done, she sat near Fei, facing the deer. They hadn't moved out yet, but they were starting to congregate, which meant the bucks would give the signal any moment. Ciu'nan gestured towards the herd.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"They know more than I do. Unfortunately, this is my first time coming this far east. The only thing I can say for certain is that the area is mostly wooded as we approach the mountains. At some point, if we keep heading east, we should cross a main road of some sort that runs north and south. I've heard its used as a trade route, but some say it's just an old road for certain pilgrims travelling to a holy place."</span></b> Ciu'nan said, smiling absently as she watched the deer. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We found this clearing with an old battlefield buried beneath the forest floor, though, so who's to say what else these woods might be hiding?"</span></b></div>

The soft breeze of the wind brushed along Wonton's face, the waddle dee giving a content sigh as he led Haruki along the trailed route to his home village..<br>
<br>
"How ya holding up Haruki? We're almost there.. If you want, we can take a break.." <br>
<br>
He looked to the young Cervitaur, making sure he was okay before slowing to a stop..<br>
<br>
He was slightly tired from walking this long..<br>
<br>
He was snapped out of that by the sudden feeling of some wet fabric.. Oh,right.. The slaver blood.<br>
<br>
"Ah.. guess some of those slavers' blood got on me.. Now that I think about it.. How about we stop for a break? And then maybe find some pond or a river of sorts? If you're hungry, I have some tomatoes in this brown bag. Meta bought them fresh yesterday.."   </span></span></b></div>

He wasn't alone though and he appreciated that because those days when he was alone were the worst.<br>
<br>
As his hooves clopped lightly with every step they took along the path, Haruki listened to what Wonton had started to say. Partially. He was more focused on what kind of creature Wonton was because he had never seen anything like him before. His personality seemed just as unique as his species and Haruki kind of enjoyed it.<br>
<br>
As they came to a stop, the young cervitaur looked around and started to listen to the forest. These were familiar sounds which he missed, but they made him feel alone as he no longer would hear the sounds of his herd among them. He listened for the sound of running water and heard it not too far away, but he also heard the sound of someone or something crushing dried leaves and twigs under their step. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"We're not alone here, Mr. Wonton."</span> Haruki declared.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "It might be creatures native to the forest, but I don't know."</span> He added. The last thing they needed were more slaver troubles.<br>
<br>
Slowly he started to step away from Wonton<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">. "I hear a river nearby as well, I'm going to go get a drink."</span> He hadn't had anything to drink since they left Arborhaven and who knows how long ago that was. All that matter was that he was thirsty now.<br>
<br>
So he followed the sound of running water to find the stream that cut through the forest and a smile broke his tense features.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Perfect!"</span> He cheered boisterously as he rushed to the side of the stream. His front legs bent and lowered his torso, then his hind legs did the same until he was sitting beside the stream and cupping water in his palms to bring to his mouth.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu nodded faintly, his white-gloved hand coming up toward his face. It disappeared into the heavy shadow covering his face, cast by the heavy hood over his form. Silence settled over the two though it was filled fairly quickly by the audience of ripples thronging nearby down the wide stream. Burbling and birdsong rang between the duo sitting by the river and between the duo and the herd not terribly far away. It was a decent distance behind Liu that the road wound away from the clearing the deer occupied. The road from which an orange ball and a cervitaur departed toward the very same stream filling the silence. It was to that silence that Liu owed the sense that new actors appeared nearby. He wheeled his head around cautiously, peering along the shore of the river until a figure broke through. Liu, in the first moments noticing the figure, felt the need to note the delicate features. It was another figure with deer antlers, to boot. It was not until the torso elongated into a brown body and four deer legs that he felt the need to stare for a little while. This sight struck him as strange and he just finished resting less than six feet away from a person made of leaves and feathers.<br>
<br>
After a few moments of staring, he turned his body toward the river while he rested on his knees, so that he did not need to crane his neck around to see them, they would be in his periphery. In that moment, a bright orange ball burst from the same spot, drawing his face in the direction once more. He spoke to Ciu'nan lowly, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"these two do not seem particularly aggressive but we must prioritize departing with the herd, do you agree?"</span> he posed, calmly resting his hands in his lap. Out of the lot, he was the eeriest figure. Kneeling by the riverbank staring without movement at the water, clad heavily in a thick layer of dark fabrics, many pieces of clothing mismatched from each other face completely hidden. He was tall as well. Even kneeling, his head rose just a little above the nearby bushes. It was not a human tallness, to be sure. It was perhaps more disconcerting that he was not carrying any weapons, only a pouch at his side with a metal cynlinder, and the recent addition of leaves poking out of the top. He could have been some kind of forest wraith, even sitting nearby what is clearly yet another creature of the forest.</div>

Ciu'nan's ears picked up movement and faint voices even before figures emerged from the forest further upstream. The first to appear drew her attention with his unusual yet familiar body: the lower half of a deer and the upper half of a man yet with antlers jutting from his scalp. Ciu'nan's ears perked up at the sight of him. Her head cocked to the side when an orange sphere sprang from the bushes and plopped into the river. Fei's voice brought Ciu'nan back to the here and now. Even as he finished speaking, the bucks bellowed from further down river. The high-pitched cry would certainly draw the attention of the other two. Ciu'nan's gaze lingered on the cervitaur a moment before turning away to the herd. They had begun to filter into the trees, but they would not get far very fast. Galloping, while possible, would not be convenient through the forest's rugged terrain.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"They won't get far, Fei. The terrain between the trees will only get more treacherous as we near the foothills. You can keep an eye on them if you wish, but I'm going to see what these two are up to before moving on."</span></b> Ciu'nan said as she stood, brushing herself off some.<br>
<br>
The fae treaded carefully through the brush as she approached the newcomers. Climbing the roots of a massive tree jutting out from a small cliff overlooking the river, Ciu'nan peeked around the trunk at the cervitaur and his stout, spherical friend.</div>

<br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">Scooping up his fill of water, Wonton let out a sigh of content as he dropped onto his back. His Bandanna making a wet *plop* on the floor as he looked up at the singing birds.. perched on trees.</span></span></b><br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><br>
<span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)"><b>"Hehe..  Good ol' river fresh water.. Never gets old of that natural taste, right bud?" He spoke to his Cervitaur friend, a peppy tone on a relaxed face.<br>
<br>
He looked over to a small cliff that oversaw the river in interest, before trailing his sight up to see a rather large tree there too.. Still rambling on.<br>
<br>
His words were able to be heard by the fae in the tree, who he wasn't aware of just yet.</b></span><br>
</span><br>
<b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">"Nature at its divine finest.. Sometimes I wish I could meet a Dryad or a Fae.. And thank them for such beautiful scapes.. we see.. I remember a small church that used to be right across from the village Market.. It was devoted to the Faes and Elves.  Meta used to take me there every Tuesday.. I'm still sad that it closed down to be replaced by an Adventurer's guild though.."<br>
<br>
The memory of that made him sniffle a bit. He loved going to that church a lot, and it was where people didn't give a dumbfounded look at his appearance..<br>
<br>
"Although.. I am happy that Fumu-Kai is getting its protection by the guild,  It just doesn't feel the same.."<br>
<br>
He sighed, before softening up a bit.<br>
<br>
And then that feeling came.<br>
<br>
"Hey, Haruki..?" He started, "Do you ever get that feeling that someone's watching you when you don't know? I just got that feeling..." His eyes trailed further up that tree on the cliff...<br>
<br>
And there he saw what appeared to be a grey skinned woman looking down at them.<br>
<br>
"Oh.. Um, Hello.. Miss?" He called out to her.  </span></span></b></div>

Throughout this entire trip she had remain dejected, internally struggling with her newfound emotions. The pain in her chest had yet to subside and the desire to eat was absent for the fist time in her short life. From the smells around her she could tell she was back in the forests even if it wasn't her own. Gone were the huge herds and structures of stone and shiny bone which held stars all around them. Despite the familiar surroundings it only served to remind her how far Ceylan was from her. She cared not for the orange creature, but at least Haru was here. The fawn gave her some direction when she didn't want to find her own, at the moment that was preferable.<br>
<br>
Haru and the orange one were speaking, and if nothing else she was picking up on the meaning behind their sounds much better than before. Unbeknownst to Tia this was thanks to the Slavers brain she had eaten. Consuming neurons and their connections directly allowed for a greater assimilation of the host species for Tia's kind. She picked up on Haru's wariness from the sounds and his smell, so there must be other animals nearby. Then he made a sound which indicated an action of some kind she couldn't tell what it would be, but based on the direction of his movement and the sound of a river nearby he must be going to get water. She wondered if she could have understood Ceylans reason for leaving if she was as proficient in her learning as she is now.<br>
<br>
She followed and soon they came upon the river. The orange creature fell into it splashing her with water. Her body merely absorbed it. Haru crouched to drink, and Tia sullenly stood next to him staring down into the river. Her reflection stared back at her. Its expression unlike anything she had seen on her face before. She had seen a similar face on the fear stricken people in town and on Harus face on occasion but never upon her own. It reminded her of when she had taken this form, how she had come upon an identity accidentally and all the sudden the world seemed so vibrant and interesting. Now however she could not muster the excitement and curiosity she had once felt. She crouched down to look upon her face closer, bringing her hands up to it wondering what she should do to ease her ache. Then her nose twitched with a foreign scent, alone it was no cause for alarm but the smell was that of another creature. In her current frame of mind her patience was thin and Tia found herself quick to animalistic rage. Any outside of her pack were threats, and could take Haru away just like Ceylan. She stood straight with her hands at her sides like she was prepared to pounce on an enemy. Her eyes followed the scent finding a creature with horns similar to Haru though it was bipedal. The orange one noticed as well and warily called out to them. Tia gave her own greeting, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Grrrrrrrrr..." </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'arial'">a growl as deep and threatening as she could muster though with her young frame and soft voice it didn't come out nearly as threatening as she thought it did. </span></div>

Haruki had to agree with Wonton, there was nothing like fresh water from a running stream. Granted he was raised on the same water so he was a little bias. But being back in the forest and surrounded by the familiar sounds and sights did bring him a great sense of peace. Sitting there listening to Wonton, he didn't hear the voices in the background, voices of people who were watching them  He was more focused on this church of the fae that Wonton was talking about. While his herd had interacted with many fae and even coexisted with some, Haruki had never heard of a fae or elven church. He shook his head in confusion and dismissed the topic from his mind. He was still getting to know Wonton, it was expected that things wouldn't always make sense. <br>
<br>
While his friend went on and on, Haruki looked up river, where he saw the deer that had been standing around and were now making their departure. Small tears swelled in the cervitaur's eyes, but he quickly wiped them away, denying them the chance to make him look soft or weak. He couldn't spend the rest of his life crying after all. Tia, gratefully had chosen to stick with them rather than to be alone. She hadn't said much except for Ceylan's name, but even Haruki could tell that this prolonged silence was not from a lack of skill speaking. She probably missed Ceylan and he couldn't lie, he was worried about him as well. <br>
<br>
Preparing to lay down and get comfortable, Haruki was startled when he heard Tia growl and heard Wonton speaking to someone. His eyes darted around momentarily before he spotted a dark figure further down river. Then they landed on the woman who was clearly a fae. It seemed that he could not escape the memories of his herd.<span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"> "Tia, there's no danger."</span> He quickly told her. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"Everything is okay."</span> He promised before he shuffled up into a standing position. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>She had been spotted. The orange ball apparently possessed some keen sense, despite it's mundane appearance, and announced Ciu'nan's presence upon spotting her. As it turned out, there was a third creature hidden behind the cervitaur, which now was growling at Ciu'nan thanks to the dandelion's alarm. Having been found out, Ciu'nan felt it silly to remain in hiding. Coming around the trunk into full view of the trio, she smiled at them. Aside from the ambiguous dandelion, the other two seemed young. Very young.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">They're like me....</span></i> thought Ciu'nan.<br>
<br>
She closed her eyes a moment while redirecting her thoughts.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Hello. My name is Ciu'nan. What are your names?"</span></b> she asked.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Haru was excited, happy even, to see someone who was of a species that he was familiar with. What made him smile even harder was the sight of Tia jumping to his defense. It was reassuring of the bond that they had started to forge. However, as he didn't see Ciu'nan as a threat, he stepped from behind Tia to stand beside her. "I am, Haruki." The cervitaur replied with a nod of his head. <br>
<br>
"Sorry if we have trespassed in your territory or hunting grounds." He hadn't seen any signs that any creatures claimed the immediate area as their own. "We've just journeyed from Arborhaven." <br>

Such as one: She seemed to have glowing antlers, 2: her clothing style was more nature inclined, plus her ears aswell.. Safe to say she was definitely a fae.<br>
<br>
Hearing Haruki’s explanation snapped him out of his stupor, as he shook a bit and adjusted his soaked bandanna.<br>
<br>
“Nice to meet you, Ms. Ciu’Nan. My name’s Wonton Denver. And as Haruki said, we’ve just been journying to my hometown from Arborhaven. A Slaver attack had happened there during a festival, with Haruki and the girl, Tia being targeted by them. I’ve been willingly bestowed upon the responsibility of supervising them and maintaining their safety by a priest, who had to stay behind to investigate something with other religious individuals . My hometown, Fumu-Kai, is our destination.      We stopped by this river for a hydration break, and I apologize if we’ve intruded or trespassed on these forest grounds, Merry Fae..”<br>
<br>
He explained their situation further, as his Bandanna had occasionally drooped over his eyes which was met with his orange nubby hand readjusting it.</span><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu sat in the soft earth, quietly surveying the group. Between the wildlife and the river, the sound of their words was lost. Three creatures stood across from his leafy companion, one was seemingly human but had strange manners, even for a child. None of them seemed to be belligerent or aggressive. Careful not to characterize creatures with the features of a herbivore as docile or weak, he was led to believe the deer-man was amiable nonetheless. It was difficult to read the mood of the yellow-orange ball creature. The eyes seemed to be present without eyebrows and without a visible mouth, he had to wonder how it spoke, if it did at all. The man was sitting still and looking over the river, able to see from his periphery. Of course, the hood was tilted just a little in their direction. Occasionally, he listened for the movement of the herd. Though he didn't doubt that Ciu'nan was correct about the terrain forcing them to slow, how could Liu ever be secure about his ability to move through the forest? He was half expecting to trip over any and every minor obstacle in his way. <br>
<br>
At the approach of Ciu'nan the mound of cloth stood. Liu was tall enough for the motion to be conspicuous to the group further away. He made no move toward them, only the gaping void of his low hood turned in their direction briefly before sliding back toward the river. He stood inocuous but eerie, with his form covered head to toe in mismatched fabrics. His cowl turned back to her and he spoke,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> <b>"they did not show any signs of aggression. A fine group of folks, I would say. I hope that they are well protected, this wilderness is capable of unkindness,"</b></span> he prayed crisply. He had no inkling that they were offered to accompany them. Liu stood still, showing no signs of hurry, waiting for Ciu'nan's response.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Haruki was thrilled to have met a fae person, it had been some time since the last time he crossed paths with one. He did his best to keep his tail from showing how happy he was, but it was hard to do that while also trying to think about what they should do next. Ciu'nan had invited them to accompany her and her companion to the road, but it was up to Wonton what they did. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"I think that we should follow them."</span> His opinion came with a soft stare as he turned his gaze downward to the small leader. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"That figure with her is a bit...scary...but she seems trustworthy, plus..."</span> He looked to Tia and smiled. <span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)">"We have Tia."</span> Haruki patted her on the head and then looked back to Wonton. While he had yet to learn the true nature of the girl, he knew that she had walked away from the Arborhaven fight without injury, which was rare for an unarmed person, especially a child. <br>

First was the spear, which was laid about on the surface with its tip lightly tracing the water’s flow. Then was his blue bag, which he tied around beneath the spearhead.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>When the group had caught up to her and Fei Liu, Ciu'nan introduced everyone quickly.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Everyone, this is Fei Liu, a mapmaker who decided to join me for a while. Fei Liu, this is Haruki, Tia, and Wonton Denver. They are heading somewhere called Fumu-Kai after running into some trouble in a town called Arborhaven."</span></b> She said pleasantly. While everyone made their greetings to one another, Ciu'nan's ears perked up again. The herd's sound was markedly fainter now even having closed some distance. Were they moving that fast? <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"We'll need to move quickly. I can barely hear the herd. I thought they would be slowed by the terrain...."</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan ran ahead of the group into the trees. The terrain was beginning to develop hills but the large roots of the surrounding trees were the real dilemma. Some tendrils of root stood as tall as a man, forcing those who couldn't jump or climb them to go around. Others just tangled through the ground making footing difficult. Ciu'nan could hop over most of this with ease. From her place in the lead, she would check back occasionally to make sure everyone was making it along alright, stopping to assist when necessary.<br>
<br>
It was the most bizarre thing. Ciu'nan could hear the herd moving through the forest, but even after running ahead a little ways, could not make visual contact. All she could do was trust her ears as the trees continued one after another. Overhead, daylight was apparently shining down through the canopy now as the sun collected its strength and rose away from the horizon.<br>
<br>
After dipping down into a valley, Ciu'nan climbed a low hill to make a shocking discovery: there lying next to some boulders was a lone deer. Seeing no other deer in sight, the fae ran to inspect it. This was one of the bucks. There was no sign of blood, yet the deer was not breathing. It apparently had simply collapsed of unknown causes.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What could have happened to him?"</span></b> Ciu'nan pondered out loud. Her ears twitched this way and that as she stood. Ciu'nan turned her head as her ears continued to search out her quarry. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I...I don't hear the herd anymore...."</span></b><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu could do little more beyond follow Ciu'nan. He was mostly closed off in disposition, beside a gentle nod offered in the direction of the newcomers. Among them, any with extraordinary senses would have to detect something off about him. Even among the stunning variety of creatures in this world, most of them had a certain type of lively stink, which he lacked, or at least his was a little weird and quite subtle. Furthermore, the noises he makes are strange. Too quiet in rest, too dry and smooth in motion. His fae friend introduced them so abruptly that he had trouble gathering his better nature to greet them kindly, let alone eloquently. The mysterious figure had to leverage his superior speed to keep up, winding through the roots without a modicum of skill but with great haste. Luckily he could not be winded, the trip was longer for him than probably anyone else in the party, a city slicker he was. His eyes were trained on Ciu'nan chiefly; the herd was something enigmatic to him. So many deer, not evidently the color of trees, but in movement and under the cover of a canopy, their forms were ghostly and he kept losing track of them. Ciu'nan, though probably far more camoflauged, was quite a bit closer. When she slowed to a stop, so did he.<br>
<br>
He approached her slowly, breaking out of his run to inspect the dead animal from a couple of feet behind her. Utterly unfamiliar with wildlife though he was, he has seen his fair share of injury, and more death than injury. It must have been something. There are little indications on corpses, whether or not the eyes were open, the position of the tongue, things that betrayed the feelings of the creature at the time that it died, and he began looking closely for those before abruptly, he turned his eyes upward and around to look around. What could he see that a hunter would not? He put his gaze to better use making sure nothing was going to run up and accost them while she figured out what was going on. He began pacing in a slow circle around her and the corpse and boulder, casting his gaze around for danger, but he said nothing yet.</div>

A mapmaker. Haruki had never met someone with such a role before, but even now knowing what the man did, he still felt uneasy around the stranger. His movements sounded...different than what normal humans sounded like when they shuffled about on their two legs, but perhaps the figure behind the cloak was not human, but another fae. Either way it wasn't his business and to pry would be disrespectful, so Haruki kept his curiosity contained and distracted himself with the path ahead,. <br>
<br>
It seemed they were all following behind Ciu'nan, who moved with the swiftness expected of a fae. While Haruki wasn't one of those magical beings, he was accustomed to moving through the forest and navigating its tricky terrain. His hooves stomped on the ground with every root that he leapt over. He moved like a natural deer and kept his eyes on their somewhat distant guide. <br>
<br>
She had lead them in the direction of the herd, but to their surprise they found only one deer and the poor thing had lost its life. Haruki's grip tightened on his spear, tense and anxious as he looked around. "I have a bad feeling." The young cervitaur expressed as he stepped closer to a nearby tree.<br>

Though as a side effect the appearance of something new had made her somewhat forget her sadness. Haru seemed to be excited in the presence of another who was similar to him. Tia wondered if there was anyone like her, as the creatures of the forests and the wood and stone structures were very different from her. They followed the antler female Ciu'nan as she was engaging in what she could only assume to be a hunt. Based off the words she was able to understand and the smell coming from her. <br>
<br>
Soon after they came across another animal though this was was completely covered in the fur and hide their kind liked to wear. At first she hadn't reacted to it as her nose could smell nothing on it save for the smell for the forest, she had mistaken it for an object as dead animals had a smell. Then the hide covered thing moved and she almost attacked it then and there, but her instincts told her to keep within the bounds of her human form. So instead she bristled and glared at it. The being spoke to them and the antlered female spoke back. It seemed they knew each other, they were probably hunting together. Picking up on a recognizable group of words she was able to deduce that the thing was called "Fei Liu" Tia pondered the name. It was very different from any she had heard so far and didn't fit with any of the sounds she knew in it's intonation. She pouted, as she thought she was finally close to cracking the meaning of all the sounds only to find it was a lot harder than she thought.</span></span> <span style="font-family: 'arial'"><span style="font-size: 15px">Though Haru patting her on the head helped assuage her feelings.<br>
<br>
Growing bold she slowly inched closer and closer to the thing called Fei Liu. Trying to catch a scent of a living creature and finding none. As she chewed on her inability to understand Fei Liu the group went deeper into the forest climbing over large roots and traversing trees whose size would have baffled Tia if she hadn't already seen the Big Tree in the other place. They eventually came upon an open spot in which only a dead animal lay. Ciu'nan was apparently alarmed by this, maybe she had wanted to kill it? The group went up to the animal examining. Tia noticed it resembled Haru a bit but more animaly and less peoplely. They began to inspect it with Fei Liu in particular circling the animal and looking around. Tia letting her curiosity get the better of her went up to it sniffing to try and find a clue as to what had killed the creature.</span></span></div>

- Oh Deer.. Poor thing..<br>

<br>
Wonton followed the last of the group, not because he was slowed down from the terrain, but rather to make sure that Haruki and Tia didn't lose track. Occasionally hopping around over roots or bumps on the road ahead, he kept his wet bandanna tight around his head and the contents of his blue bag rattling around.</span></span></b><span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'"><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #fba026"><b>Once he caught up to where they stopped by, he noticed the deer, and under the others' words, he could only walk up to the unconscious deer and lightly pat its head in slight sadness.  He wasn't much of a fan when it came to hurting wildlife, and would only do so out of self defense. But this, he wasn't too sure, but a small part of him within felt that something or someone had done this on purpose. <br>
<br>
"..There could possibly be something or someone nearby that could've caused this deer to end up in this state.. But I'm not too sure.. " <br>
<br>
He mused uncertainly, before glancing at Tia to check on her, then walking over to Haruki to check on him as well. </b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 26px"><u>Ciu'nan</u></span></span></b><br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Ciu'nan stepped away from the deer, peering at their surroundings, as Fei approached and looked over the deer's body. There was no sign of injury to the body's exterior. No blood leaking from any orifice. The eyes were closed, but if they were manually opened, the eyes would appear very fresh and untainted by early onset signs of death. Due to how the head landed, the mouth was closed. Without getting too close, one could see that the nose was still wet. Overall, the body's features still appeared very fresh.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan's gaze fell on Haruki as he shuffled timidly over to a tree, his knuckles growing white as he gripped his spear. Wonton's warning about the killer potentially being near caused the fae to look to him as he went over Haruki. Ciu'nan's ears had not stopped flicking about, trying to detect a sound. Finally her ears relaxed into their neutral position as she glanced to Tia's and Fei's inconclusive search of the deer then to Wonton and Haruki.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"If the killer is nearby, I don't hear anything. Actually, this area is bizarrely quiet...especially for a forest in the early morning. Can anyone else sense anything?"</span></b> Ciu'nan asked as her gaze drifted back towards Haruki cowering by the tree. She couldn't help but smile a little when she saw that both Wonton and Haruki used spears as well. No one would be able to sense anything small or great in the immediate vicinity.<br>
<br>
She sighed as she turned back in the direction they had been heading. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Well, the deer's death is definitely strange, but my mission is to see where the herd goes, and you three need that road to the east. We should keep moving. There's no way we lost them so easily, so something is afoot here. All we can do is keep moving."</span></b><br>
<br>
Making sure everyone gathered up first, Ciu'nan began moving. Her pace was noticeably slower this time. The uncertainty around the deer's assailant had no doubt caused a few to be on edge. A slower pace would be reasonable until they had gained some distance between them and the area. As they went, Ciu'nan smiled at Haruki and Wonton.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I just noticed we all use spears. What are the odds?"</span></b> she said with a small laugh.<br>
<br>

	</div><br>
Lightening the mood seemed to be something Ciu'nan excelled at. Even if it didn't work, she definitely wasn't afraid to try. After all, things go more smoothly when people aren't weighed down with their concerns.<br>
<br>
So the group went a good pace. Their path rose and fell and snaked side to side with the roots and hills of the forest. By now the deer had been left far behind. With a hop, skip, and a jump, Ciu'nan landed atop the latest hill they had to climb. When she stood and gazed on the other side, however, her smile, which had been growing more giddy the more they walked, suddenly left her face. Before them was the same rocky depression they had just left some time ago. Lying there next to the boulder was the deer in the same position.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">If he had a chest it would have had a strange twinge in it. The sinking feeling was certainly there. Sure he had been awake in this world for a few months now and seen many things, he even had fireballs tossed at him. This was the first time he was stuck in some kind of misleading trap of illusion. The sinking feeling disappeared as his mind began dissecting the situation, his initial response to this kind of assault on his wellbeing. Whose domain is this? Who would most likely set this kind of trap? The deer seemed to be the bait. What is the nature of the owners of the domain? Is it a test or a trap, or is it a lock? If the herd was traveling normally. For a few moments he stared, unmoving and silent. Slowly he turned in 360 degrees, surveying the surroundings. The herd should have moved through this area. What is different about them? Liu paused for a moment, glancing down at his hands. Could he have been the cause of this? Taking his weird self-focus as sign that he was moving too deeply into "the sauce," he spoke out loud and tried to get the strategizing moving. He can't starve to death, they can.<br>
<br>
"So... we are back. This is clearly magical. The herd traveled through here but they are not stuck and we are. Whose domain is this? Who is capable of this kind of trick?" he asked out loud, standing still and waiting for some initial responses. He was hoping this world was like magical adventure stories where these traps were constructed with some kind of way out in mind. Fei saw firsthand the presence of magic. He imagined that if a magical being wished to trap him in this manner with no magical dance and shimmy to pop out, it would have been just as good as welding him into a steel box for he has not even so much as touched magic, even if magic touched him.</div>

The sight of his friends brought Haruki a small degree of comfort, but even then he was still anxious and scared of the unknown danger which lurked in the forest. For the deer to be lifeless yet appear to be untouched by death...that was not normal and Haruki and little to no experience with the ways of magic.  But even worse, perhaps this was not magic and instead the work of some monster, capable of concealing itself and stealing the souls of its prey. The thought sent chills down the young cervitaur's spine as as he multiplied his fears and worries. <br>
<br>
It was only the sudden movement of their guide that brought him from his pit of despair. As she had stated, there were no sounds that Haruki could hear within the forest, even as they started to travel again. "Tia, Mr. Wonton." Haruki called sheepishly called, hoping not to reveal just how scared the situation had made him. Without further word he closed the space between himself and the other two and continued to follow behind CIu'nan.<br>
<br>
Her comment on their use of polearms did manage to bring a smile to his face, reassuring him in his choice of weapons. His happiness was short live however when they happened upon the same unsettling deer corpse. "W-What's happening?" He murmured as he climbed the hill and looked down upon the all too familiar scene. <br>
<br>
The shady figure was right; this had to be magic, but Haruki knew very little of magic and even less about the people who used it. Now his heart raced with the speed of a thousand cervitaurs and he hugged his spear tight to his chest. "How do we get out of here?" He inquired of their fae guide.<br>

Tia went back to the corpse staring down at it a pout of befuddlement on her face. She crouched down with her knees bent forward staring. There was something there her keen sense of smell told her that, but she couldn't tell what it was or where it came from it was more a feeling than a smell as it was incredibly unique to her. </span><br>
<br>
Tia perked up as Ciu'nan spoke and looked back to the group, seeing that they were going to move on she hopped up taking one last look at the corpse, somewhat hungrily. As they walked Ciu'nan had an active conversation with the rest of the group, curious as she was Tia did her best to pick up on meanings but many were still beyond her, and she had yet to grasp the concept of a joke. But her species was a stubborn sort when it came to learning so she listened either way. As they continued upon their winding forested path, a familiar smell then tickled her nose. She looked out from behind her taller not pack mates. Only to find the same corpse and she had seen before, even the smell was exactly the same. Confused Tia looked around she hadn't really been paying too much attention to their route but even she knew they didn't double back. Something strange was going on. She turned to regard her pack mates and was met with a palpable sense of fear. Tia was somewhat surprised by the fear she smelt on Haru; as the alpha of the pack she'd have to protect Haru. She went up to him deliberating on how to calm him down, until she settled on the thing which had made her feel better. She patted Haru on the head gently and with a smile on her face. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'">"Haru, ok."</span></span> She spoke out in her soft voice. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'arial'">When she was satisfied with his emotional state, she turned over to the nothing which was shaped like a person. Fei Liu. She steadily approached him, he seemed just as confused as the rest of them. She tugged on his cloak bringing his attention down to her smaller form. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Fei Liu, Tia tree find trick."</span></span> Her expression was serious and focused. She pointed to one of the large trees that surrounded them intent on climbing it and seeing what could keep them in here or who was doing it. Tia didn't really understand what magic, was but she could tell this situation was abnormal. She had come across a few animals and monsters who could manifest strange effects so she reasoned this was similar. With that she ran up to one of the trunks and morphed the tips of her fingers into bone and began to climb up to gain a vantage point. Maybe she would find an exit.   </span><br>

<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm most familiar with the countryside around Ryken. The foothills here and those who might guard them are foreign to me. What I can say is that magic of this caliber is...advanced to say the least."</span></b> Ciu'nan said thoughtfully.<br>
<br>
Haruki was worried, but Ciu'nan had no immediate answer for him. She broke her thinking stance to turn to him with a smile.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"This must be pretty scary, huh? Well, I haven't given up on getting us out of here so don't you give up on me, ok? We have a lot of area to explore here. The solution is probably right under our noses, and we don't even realize it."</span></b> she said encouragingly. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What's more, you have your friends here beside you. We're all going to work together to figure this out."</span></b><br>
<br>
Tia had similar thoughts it seemed, as she also tried to comfort Haruki. Then she approached Fei, expressing some incoherent statement about trees and tricks. Ciu'nan watched curiously as the small child ran over to a tree, morphed her body, and began climbing it with the ease of a squirrel.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">What in the world is she...?</span></i> pondered Ciu'nan both shocked and impressed by the girl's ability.<br>
<br>
Tia would find that she could scale the tree up to the bottom of the canopy overhead if she wished. Going any further would be met with resistance as the branches spontaneously grew and wove themselves together, blocking passage to the treetop. Destroying the limbs caused them to violently regrow in seconds, threatening to skewer anything that tried to slip through.<br>

Haruki wasn't sure how the others weren't losing their heads over being prisoner to some unknown threat, but it did help that Tia and the others tried to keep him from losing his own. Ciu'nan was right and Haruki knew that he needed to pull himself together and do his part in their herd to look out for his friends. <br>
<br>
Taking a deep breath, the young cervitaur finally rejoined the group and started by looking around to really assess their surroundings. It reminded him a little of the home that he had lost and as those memories played back in his mind, he became a little less afraid. <br>
<br>
"Perhaps there is a clue we can get from the deer?" He proposed as he moved towards where the carcass was. "If this one deer managed to get stuck, maybe it was ensnared by something that it did, an action similar to one that we all took, activating this...prison?" Inhaling deeply, Haruki looked to the path that they traveled when they were following the deer. He slowly started to head back down the path, but keeping his eyes on his surroundings to see if he spotted anything on his way back to the 'entrance' of the clearing.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Fei stood stunned for a moment at the little girl showing initiative. He could remember vividly seeing grown men hesitate to scrub a floor. The hooded figure nodded its solemn approval at the little creature. Peering around, it was a peaceful enough area to be trapped for the rest of his life. It is these little peaceful spots that he found himself drawn to lately, to sit and soak in the time passing him by. The old religions were silly and the wild people held function where he came from; dipping into a bit of a daydream in spite of himself, the vivid colors and details crept into his mind and settled like tea steeps or a cat claims a spot to nap. A shame they weren't being allowed to leave freely, he could see now what the old sages were on about with their spindly ink drawings. The lady fey had a point, he was only looking along the road and around it with his own eyes. With a mild adjustment of his collar, he turned toward the opposite direction that the little girl was headed in and began walking. At the very least, he reasoned, he could pace around the edge of the enclosed area and then make his way inward over time.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I will find the edge in this direction,"</span> he stated simply. Some unidentified threat holds them, perhaps it is a trap for a subtle beast to return and eat them at its leisure, or perhaps just a playful spirit -- no direct harm has befallen them so far even if the dead deer was a poor signpost if this contraption means no harm. Liu began casting his eyes around, up and down, looking for contraptions or totems or even oddly stacked stones. In his time the tribal arts were domesticated into clean rituals with musical instruments, structured ceremonies honoring the dead, and paper with fanciful characters. He hadn't the civic or historical knowledge, nor the cultural intuition to imagine what beings manipulating cosmic energy through pure instinct could erect to their aid, if this cage is anchored in any way by a physical construction. For all he knew, it could be a stone turned over that would unlock this snare and let them pass on their way.</div>

The moment she made to crest the canopy however, she was accosted by the limbs of the tree which grew faster than she had ever seen and moved directly into her way growing so thick as to deny passing through. She narrowed her eyes and furrowed her eyebrows and tried to hack at the branches with her claws only to have her arm skewered by the rapidly reconstituting branches. With a frown she rips her arm out from the branches freeing it, the branches quickly filling up the space it left. She looked to the tree limb impaled into her arm, the organic matter that constituted her arm broke and ate away at the wood until it faded away into her. Defeated she slid back down to the ground using her bone claws like a cats and cutting through the bark as she fell to the ground.<br>
<br>
She came back to the group an angry pout upon her face. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Tree bite Tia!" </span></span>She informed the group of this very important detail. Her irritated expression more than enough to inform them of how her attempt to escape from this seemingly arcane trap went. She looked to Fei Liu a ways away examining the edge of the clearing and Haruki moving to examine the corpse. She considered going with Haruki but seeing Fei Liu alone presented Tia with an opportunity to satisfy the curiosity that she couldn't shake. She sidled over to him being as discreet as possible. Once she got close, she whispered to him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Fei Liue alive? Tia no smell, Tia never no smell."</span> She peered at him with curious eyes. To her something not having a smell meant it wasn't alive, whether that be an object or a picked clean corpse when only bone remained and even that had the lingering of the animals and plants that consumed it. </span></span></div>

As was everyone else trying to figure out what was keeping them trapped, Wonton went to investigate nearby bushes and stuff of the sort.<br>
<br>
Ciu’nan’s remark on the spears got a chuckle from the lil guy.<br>
<br>
“Huh.. That’s kinda neat, say, if any of you are near a bush or something of the sort, try searching through those. Never know if something could be hidden..”</span></span></b></div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Ciu'nan continued to watch Tia as she disappeared into the upper limits of the tree she climbed. Unable to see her, Ciu'nan looked to the others as they split up to investigate in their own ways. Giving another quick glance up to Tia's last known location, Ciu'nan approached the deer again. Haruki had spared it a glance before tracing their steps back to the beginning of the area.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">So strange...</span></i> thought Ciu'nan, kneeling beside the deer.<br>
<br>
As her mind ran in circles trying to process what could have happened, she absently petted the deer. There was still a slight warmth that was quickly fading. The fur was still silky beneath Ciu'nan's fingers as they glided across the deer's body.<br>
<br>
A sudden jingling behind her caused Ciu'nan to turn around, but there was nothing there. She did see Tia returning from her apparently unsuccessful climb however. The girl wore a sour look as she approached and proclaimed her defeat. Ciu'nan had to hide a laugh. This girl was incredibly cute when she wasn't even trying. Tia stalked off in Fei's direction without another word.<br>
<br>
<b><u>Haruki</u></b><br>
The cervitaur would notice in glancing at the deer its location. Boulders of varying size were positioned irregularly around the area where the deer fell. Based on its position, it might be assumed it was facing the boulder next to it when it collapsed. The terrain sunk somewhat into the midst of the boulders and the deer lay in this depression.<br>
<br>
In retracing their steps, Haruki would see intermittent patches of earth with hoof prints as well as their own feet prints. Branches had been broken in places on shorter trees and shrubs. The path was fairly unremarkable otherwise. Haruki would crest the hill Ciu'nan had skipped up moments prior to see himself enter the same area from the opposite end of where he had started.<br>

The group had passed through the area initially in a west to east direction. Fei would head north to find the boundary there. This would begin with a slight climb as the boulders were next to a shelf slightly taller than a man. Mounting this obstacle, Fei would see much the same thing: large trees and massive roots. Just before hitting the boundary, however, Fei would notice two fledgling trees only a few decades old, their lower halves nearly consumed with shelf fungi. The pair grow away from each other in a vague V-pattern.<br>

The orange dandelion did not stray far from the scene of the crime. In searching the forest floor, he uncovered a small batch of <a href="https://www.thegypsythread.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/147203-plante-ciudate-1.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegypsythread.org%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2016%2F10%2F147203-plante-ciudate-1.jpg&amp;hash=3abb6fa8108f25497229f3da25db3122" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><u>odd mushrooms</u></span></a>.<br>

There was a fair bit of information to take in as Haruki actually focused more on their surroundings rather than letting himself be worked up by his fears. First the positioning of the deer and the terrain around it did strike him as very odd. He'd never seen such a formation in nature before, not organically anyway. That supported the idea that they were at the mercy of some unseen entity.<br>
<br>
He followed their trail back to the 'entrance' only to see that there was nothing remarkable to see. Some broken branches and such. When he looked up from his investigating, he noticed that he stood across the field, on the opposite side where he had just been. "H-How?" Quickly he looked behind him, but saw only trees. He wasn't sure what this meant, but before his mind got out of control with ideas, the young cervitaur quickly tried to relax himself and focus. He wouldn't be of any use if he broke down...again. <br>
<br>
"Perhaps we should move the deer?" He was reluctant to move a corpse, but it was the only thing that he could think of. "It seems to be the center of this...prison and maybe it is the source of it as well?" He made a slow approach to Ciu'nan, looking to the more seasoned fae with inquisitive eyes. <br>

*Rustle Rustle*  These sounds were the only things that Wonton's hearing focused on as he searched through the nearby shrubbery. <br>
<br>
“Hm.. Not much here, how about here..?” *rustle rustle..*<br>
<br>
“Nope.. Nothing… Maybe… Here?”<br>
<br>
This had gone on for quite a few minutes, but Wonton did not relent.<br>
<br>
Then he found something of interest, it was a group of mushrooms, but not like any other he had seen before..<br>
<br>
It was white, and looked puffy to that of a chewed marshmallow.. but it was also coated in red and black gooey spots.. It was kinda unsettling, even for this dandelion.<br>
<br>
“Uhh.. Guys? Found something here..” He called to the group.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu would report that he has very little in the way of magical intuition, tilted his head at the sight of this formation. It was out of place but not unnatural; trees die, trees grow together, fungus grows on trees -- nothing to be concerned about. However, casting his gaze about, there was naught but green and brown of healthy wood and there was nothing else nearly as striking as this image jutting out of the ground before him. So he may as well, he reasoned, take a look. Cautiously, he walked around the formation, probing slowly with only his eyes from top to bottom, left to right, looking for intelligible signs that it was tampered with or contrived. Perhaps it was the mystical totem he imagined initially and he looked for formations and regularities in the surface of the fungus or the trees. He was, however, keeping a distance he deemed safe, inspecting as well as he could from a few feet away. He was already in one trap and there seemed to be plenty of room for another one.<br>
<br>
From behind he could hear grass and leaves crunching rapidly. He turned and the small girl was already in his face whispering and he put his hands up gasping audibly and flinching at the sudden approach and placing a thin hand over his empty chest. An eidolon of a past habit was what she was greeted with and then the unearthly stillness that he would only be able to manage nowadays followed. For a moment he didn't say anything, and this is usually where his heart would be pounding out of his chest. Children have such a way of striking to the heart of things, unburdened by "probably" this and "usually" that. Liu turned his head to the side to look nervously at a random bush and then a thought occured to him. He said out loud in a tone of one who has just solved  a problem, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"well,"</span> he started, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"of course I'm alive. I'm moving, I'm speaking, I feel the mild temperature, the sun on my cloak, I can smell the air, and I'm looking for a way out of this... place... I'm just a little lighter than average,"</span> he shrugged aloud, relief slipping into his voice in the form of a faint chuckle punctuating the conclusion. He added lightly, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"I even found this,"</span> and gestured to the v-shaped fungus pile with the back a lazy hand. From far off he could hear one of his compatriots calling for a discovery of some kind. He looked in their direction for a moment but sensed that she would be the one who decides when this conversation is over, and so he stood and waited for her to reply, inadvertantly tipping his hand a little by hesitating.</div>

Her eyebrows were furrowed as she contemplated what he said. She scrutinized him gazing intently at where his face would be, yet it was shielded even from her enhanced eyesight by the shadows. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Fei Liu weird, no like daddy."</span></span> Her eyes grew deeply pained. Luckily for him she had yet to even grasp the concept of lying, that offense which sapient creatures are so fond of employing. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"That ok, Tia weird to."</span></span> With that she drew back from him and crouched upon the ground. Seemingly lost in thought about something else.<br>
<br>
At Fei Liu's behest she looked to the bizarre fungal growth growing deeply fascinated by its visage almost forgetting her sadness entirely. In the way children do whenever something new and interesting catches their eye. She got close to it and investigated it closely from every angle she could. Noting the strange way in which it grew. Tia was no stranger to natural formations, and the shape in which these grew reminded her more of the orderly structures of the stone and shiny bone place than a forest. Then almost mechanically she picked one up and ate it.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>The activities of the group converged in one simultaneous sequence of events. Ciu'nan remained by the deer as Haruki approached from his fruitless search with an almost desperate suggestion that they try moving the deer. Tia and Fei had more or less concluded their brief exchange as the former became intrigued by the fungal formation on the pair of trees discovered by the latter. As the creature with a child's face began sniffing about the shrooms, Wanton was rummaging through bushes and undergrowth on the side opposite to Tia and Fei. When the orange dandy discovered his own patch of shrooms, Tia's curiosity got the better of her. Wanton's call to the others came right as Tia was sampling the forbidden fruit. The taste was bitter but the meat spongy. Were it not for Tia's unnatural constitution, the shroom may have made her sick.<br>
<br>
As Tia came to her own conclusions regarding the shelf mushroom, a groan suddenly creaked up the core of the tree from which she had taken her sample. In plain sight to the pair standing there, the fungus currently consuming the tree actively sprouted and spread up the tree a few inches, before snapping sounds caused puffs of sawdust to spew out in places along the compromised bark. Suddenly, the core of the trunk gave out as the top half of the tree collapsed to the ground.<br>
<br>
Back in the center of the magical space, Ciu'nan was assisting Haruki in beginning to move the deer when she suddenly stopped. Releasing the deer suddenly, she grabbed Haruki and pulled him away from the deer's location as the ground beneath them began trembling. Jets of dust were ejected into the air as debris settled into newly opened pockets below. The duff around the boulders eroded and sifted away revealing that the boulders went further down. The depression the deer's body had been in gave way, and the carcass began sinking down into a developing hollow amidst the boulders, which suddenly quivered and closed in around deer. Then a good portion of the shelf that Fei and Tia had climbed up on began to raise and fracture as an enormous figure partially erupted out of the ground.<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ciunan-forest-guardian-jpg.996880/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/934/934010-186c696276a3ae7802935c12954567fa.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" title="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" width="137" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Various fungi could be seen sprouting all over the creature's body. Its head and back were covered by giant layered mushroom caps, resembling a carapace of sorts. The boulders shattered slightly as more distinctive finger shapes became visible, the hands currently cradling the form of the deer. Under the mushroom hood in the shadowed recesses where its face presumably was, two large yellow slits opened.<br>
<br>
The head lowered as it stared at the carcass in its hands. As it looked at the deer, the latter's form began to quiver before erupting in a beautiful, yet unsettling, display of colorful fungi. Once the deer's form was completely consumed, the mushrooms melded into the hands, which laid on the ground in front of the creature.<br>
<br>
Only then did the eyes raise and for the first time seemingly acknowledge that there were creatures in the area. The eyes widened slightly as a low rumble echoed through the area. At first, all that is heard is the all-encompassing dull roar, but gradually, words began to come to the listeners as the sound is somehow translated into speech within the minds of all.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Tia's words were a little mysterious. That she would compare him, a faceless featureless figure in more ways than one, to her father is a little weird. On second thought, not really all that strange for  a child. He wondered idly what the child was doing out here anyway, in all of this danger. Although she showed initiative beyond her years, did she have strength as well? A difficult question. Fei himself did not choose to concern himself with her wellbeing. If she were a runaway, this is what she would sow. If she were fleeing a bad family, may as well be here than back home. This train of thought distracted him momentarily and he couldn't react in time to stop her from eating a piece of mushroom. He called out, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"ah!"</span> but his stern warning was promptly swallowed by a deep rumbling. He cast his arms out to his side and stepped out to lower his center of gravity while the ground under him buckled and shifted. He allowed himself to fall away, tumbling over backward lithely, and those nearby might see his form bend unnaturally as he hit the back of his shoulders after the ground reared up, and rolled backward onto his feet without missing a beat.<br>
<br>
Liu counted himself lucky that all kinds of biological systems weren't around to feed back, else the appearance of the creature might have stirred panic in him. Instead there was all that room for wonder instead. It presented itself grandly, a massive creature, and Liu began walking backward, creating distance between himself and the creature pointedly. Unfortunately, among the scars of war, self preservation sometimes stifled a good time with its cicatrices. Having just seen what the creature did to that deer, the hooded figure stepped back several time and was soon quite a ways away from the creature, at least twenty feet. Luckily its tremendous and hirrient voice reverberated impossibly far, he wouldn't have to lean in to understand it. In fact, directly into his empty skull, the creature's husky voice filled the space like cotton for a few moments. Liu had no words at the time, he had no wish to approach either, only survey the situation while his ghostly nerves, subtle now that they are detached from any flesh or bone, settled on their own. What a sight.</div>

Haruki audibly gasped and quickly fled from where the deer had been, rushing away from the shifting, changing terrain. He could see all around the area that the forest was undergoing some sort of transformation, but he couldn't fathom what it would be turning into. Instead his mind was on surviving. He stayed close to Ciu'nan, grateful that she managed to save him from whatever fate would have awaited him had he stayed so near the corpse. <br>
<br>
Once they were clear of the danger zone, Haruki was wowed by the sight that remained. A creature of the forest, made of mushrooms. While it was sad to see the deer be consumed, Haruki's was more focused on the creature tat had appeared. Was this entity the reason that they were stuck here? Would it attempt to consume them next?<br>
<br>
When the voice invaded their minds, Haruki looked around in a panicked state, but found no one nearby. To make matters worse, it seemed that the voice might have been interested in him for being part deer. "Ciu'nan...what is that thing?" Haruki whispered to the fae. <br>

It was then that the ground rumbled and Tia could only blink owlishly as she felt her body raise into the air. She looked wildly around for any threats but couldn't find the source of her sudden ascent. Then she saw hands come from either side and realized she was on top of a giant creature. Her hair stood on end like the hackles of a cat and she made an animalistic hissing sound. But then pouted when she got no reaction, and she realized it probably couldn't even here her up here on top of its shell. She went up to the front of its carapace on the very edge of the shell and hung off it upside down. Till her head was off hanging down and she could look into the creatures beady eyes. Her face was set in an angry and threatening glare, for a child. Its voice reverberating in her mind didn't bother her but its words did. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Tia no deer, Tia Tia!"</span></span> Then she raised her arms, or rather lowered them from her upside down position presenting them to the creature like claws, and once again hissed this time in the face of the thing.</div>

- Hello there big nature thing!<br>
<br>
*poke* For a good 50 seconds was Wonton still focused on the mushrooms he had found, but nonetheless he did turn and observe how the others were holding up. So far, Tia was with that cloaked guy, and Haruki was with Ciu'nan taking a closer look at the deer.  Nodding to himself that things were fine, he turned back to the shrooms with the mustered up courage to poke and prod at the fungus with his spear.<br>
<br>
*Poke poke*<br>
<br>
Then came the rumbling, which he quickly turned and bolted to the others.<br>
<br>
"Felt like an earthquake! You guys.. Alright...?"  Looking over towards the hulking figure, his concerned words died off and were replaced by.. Excitement?<br>
<br>
"Woah..!"  <br>
<br>
Then came the moment it spoke, prompting Wonton to introduce himself thanks to Tia.<br>
<br>
"Yeahp.. Not a deer.. A Waddle Dee actually, My name's Wonton, Wonton Denver. Do you have a name?" He asked the creature.</span><br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Ciu'nan interposed herself between Haruki and the mushroom creature. Her face betrayed the uncertainty she currently felt about their situation.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I...I don't know, Haruki. Just...be respectful and...try not to anger it."</span></b> Ciu'nan said in a normal tone.<br>
<br>
The fae hesitated to engage with the creature, but Tia, who appeared over the brim of its mushroom hat, shared no such pause. The little girl could be seen dangling from the mushroom's brim, growling at it of all things. Ciu'nan reached a hand out, but the girl brashly confronted the mushroom without a second thought. It took a moment, but the two yellow orbs shifted upward towards her.<br>
<br>
There was a moment where the dull roar ceased, as the mushroom creature seemingly contemplated something as it stared at the girl dangling from its brim. Then, softly at first, the buzzing drone returned and gradually escalated to deafening levels as the soundwaves alone rattled everyone to their core. The surrounding trees creaked as their leaves shivered in the heavy bass of the mushroom's "voice". Tia would find herself vibrating around on the brim as the mushroom tipped itself forward slightly in an attempt to make her fall off.<br>
<br>
The voice permeated the thoughts of those present once more as it shook Tia free, <b>"Strange...child...Thou art...of flesh...yet...you...resemble...my children...."</b><br>
<br>
Once Tia either fell or got out of its face, the roaring would dim to background noise. The mushroom's gaze would sink to the ground in front of it where Ciu'nan stood guarding Haruki as Wanton fearlessly introduced himself. The buzz rose briefly as his words repeated back to everyone present.<br>
<br>
<b>"Waddle...Dee...?"</b><br>
<br>
The creature closed its eyes for a moment. Whether it paid attention to any explanation, if given, was unclear. When it opened its eyes once more, the buzzing resumed at a more moderate volume, cutting off anyone speaking.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ciunan-forest-guardian-jpg.998281/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/935/935411-186c696276a3ae7802935c12954567fa.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" title="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" width="137" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><b>"Times...have changed...it seems.<br>
Your...ignorance...is most...grievous...to I...the forest elder...Masaruma.<br>
Yet thou...shalt receive...my grace...being but...babes.<br>
Still...I wilt ask...dost thou...bring an offering?"</b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan relaxed slightly at Masaruma's mention of grace, but she was caught off-guard by the request for an offering. She looked around and patted herself down. Finding the squirrel still dangling from her belt, she hesitantly removed it. Taking a few steps forward while holding the carcass aloft, she asked, <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Will this suffice, Master Masaruma?"</span></b><br>
<br>
((For clarification, Masaruma's voice resembles the sound of musical bass. Imagine being next to a speaker at a concert and feeling your body vibrating with the pulse of the sound. That's what its voice is like.))</div>

Unfortunately that did nothing to stop the vibrating, rumbling, and the pain that came with the creature's attempt to communicate with them. Oddly enough the voice still appeared within his mind. It was baffling to say the least. He watched, still nervous, as the others interreacted with the entity despite their lack of knowledge. He had to wonder...were they brave or was he a coward? Tia played atop the creature's head and Mister WWonton introduced himself to it as if the creature had not held them prisoner here.  Shaking his head and clearing his mind, Haruki was brought back to the current situation when the creature started to speak once more.<br>
<br>
This time it was not as bad and the creature introduced itself. "A forest elder?" The young cervitaur didn't remember his herd teaching him about forest elders, but they did always teach that respecting the forest was important and required. Perhaps this was what they meant by that. Seeing Ciu'nan step forward to present an offering, Haruki felt that he should do the same. He only had one thing to give though. <br>
<br>
"I....have this." He spoke softly as he presented his spear to Masaruma. "It is the ancestral spear of my herd." He started. "They...are gone now and I think it would be best to let them rest with the forest." Tears swelled in Haruki's eyes as he though of letting go of the family heirloom. He needed to let go of his herd and move past their death which haunted him and made him feel afraid all the time. With a deep breath he lowered his head and hoped that, Masaruma would not try to eat him like he had done the deer. <br>

</span><br>​</div>Tia gave a good threatening fierce roar directed at the big mushroom. She was quite unhappy to see he wasn't recoiling in terror. Mostly because her instincts were telling her the big mushroom was dangerous, and she wasn't confident she could take him. She knew normally this was where an animal would run away or try to fight it off. But while she certainly felt threatened by the mushrooms size she wasn't scared, but curious. Tia would keep herself poised for attack as her natural intuition demanded of her. Yet he heart which so resembled that of a young girl despite her true nature carried on in its discoveries of life.<br>
<br>
The big mushroom put words in her head she didn't fully know, but its slow manner of speaking and telepathic communication was well suited for her. Though she did know the word "flesh" she actually hadn't heard it spoken till now but it was a concept she was incidentally familiar with. She stared at the creature, wondering how its insides were structured.<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Yah!"</span></span> Then with a yelp she was shook off, falling backwards and landing on her head before dropping onto her back. Fortunately for her, lacking a normal brain prevented a concussion. Though she certainly didn't enjoy the sudden drop. She brought herself up from from the ground as quickly as she could. Staring up at the mushroom with willful eyes. She continued her face off convinced utterly in her childish mind that only she, stood between them and death. Her concertation was interrupted by the others of her pack communicating with the mushroom, the wariness obvious in their sounds. They even began to present it with things. The female Ciu'nan showing off a squirrel. While Haru was offering his long shiny claw! He seemed sad too something she understood and didn't want her packmate to feel. Tia didn't like it, not one bit. She didn't quite get why they were doing it, but she knew some animals did something similar to appease mates and give gifts. This though, reminded her of pack dynamics. The lowest of the wolves yielded and showed submissiveness to the alpha wolf, and this mushroom was taking that role! He was trying to slip Tia's status as alpha of her pack right from under her, and she wasn't having it.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/cc7b6fc5a83280fa994ac18317e336a5-jpg.999605/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/936/936735-cc7b6fc5a83280fa994ac18317e336a5.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="cc7b6fc5a83280fa994ac18317e336a5.jpg" title="cc7b6fc5a83280fa994ac18317e336a5.jpg" width="100" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div>She marched over to Haru. A stern pout upon her face. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Haru, no give claw!"</span></span> She pointed to the mushroom creature. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Mushroom no alpha, Tia alpha. Haru sad, by give claw."</span></span> She then placed he hands on her hips with a somewhat haughty expression pleased with her own cleverness. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Tia say. No give claw, no be sad. Mushroom no alpha so Haru no listen."</span></span> She nodded to herself finding her own reasoning indisputable in its logic. Haru would stop being sad, and Tia position as alpha would be cemented. Though, if the mushroom got angry, it may attack them. So in her stubbornness she resolved to fight it if need be. She turned back to the big mushroom. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Tia no give, Tia bigger."</span></span> She didn't quite know how to say she considered herself higher than another being, but to her "bigger" was more than sufficient to get the point across.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">From a little ways away behind them, a light rattling sound could be heard ever so faintly emanating from Liu's form. That is of course his bones trembling in response to the creature asking for a sacrifice. It makes sense if this spirit animating a life form specializing in decomposing would be fond of dead things -- as a snack. Liu had nothing to offer, really. A piece of paper with some scribblings, some stale berries, a bunch of fabric. Of course, the best thing for this creature would be his very body. Fully unprotected from the encroachment of fungus, moisture, mould, mildew, and other such things that hasten one's progress toward being dirt, he is a delectable treat. Liu didn't say anything, locked into a psychological stalemate. This creature undoubtedly had some agency over whether or not they would be able to leave, yet he does not wish to give himself up for its appetite. This mound of fabric was perfectly satisfied standing far back from the creature and waiting to be called upon, hoping the creature did not experience anything that could be identified as avarice. It called itself the elder of the forest and he could only hope the creature did not at all resemble the petty, cowardly, stubborn and desperate 'elders' he was familiar with.</div>

<b><span style="color: rgb(251, 160, 38)">As Masaruma spoke, the more and more Wonton felt his body vibrate hard, nearly having lost balance but saved it using the blunt end of his spear. Taking a second to recover he thought over what he should give to the Giant-Apparently-Very-Well-Known-Being-From-His/Her/Their Era.  He looked over, seeing that Haruki was offering his own spear, saying it was to let go of his deceased herd.  He felt bad for the kid, but also understood that this was a chance to grow. Seeing Tia object to this however, Wonton felt that something bad would happen if she continued.<br>
<br>
"Uhm.. Tia..? Listen.."  He said gently, waddling over to the two and turning Tia to face him, fearing what he might say next offend Masaruma, he decided to say it <br>
<br>
"Hey, listen.. It's his choice whether or not he offers his spear, You need to respect that like a good Alpha does.. Okay? And remember, Masaruma, or the Big Mushroom as you call it, is very strong.. Much stronger than us. If we give him something to offer, then we may be able to leave this place and get to home, Okay?"  He gave her some pats to reassure her, before turning back to Masaruma.<br>
<br>
"Great Masaruma.. I offer these ripe tomatoes that were freshly harvested from my home with great care.. I hope it suffices.."<br>
<br>
Setting down his spear, he took out half of the remaining tomatoes in the brown bag, and held them out.  </span></b></span></div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Masaruma flattened his right hand on the ground in front of him palm up. Ciu'nan cautiously approached and tossed the squirrel onto the elder's hand. Each with their own offerings did the same. Once all was collected into Masaruma's palm,  as with the deer before, mushrooms sprang up and consumed the squirrel carcass and the tomatoes then melded back into the hand. The staff on the other hand remained in tact where Haruki had placed it. A gentle hum, much softer than any tone Masaruma had used prior, filled the clearing as his brim tipped down to peer at the item in his hand.<br>
<br>
<b>"This item...contains...much sentiment...<br>
How...great...a thing...thou have...offered...little one...<br>
Out of...respect...to those...memories...in this item...I will...give thee...a proper...memorial...for them...."</b><br>
<br>
The great mossy fingers curled slightly, cupping the spear in Masaruma's palm. Orbs of green light manifested in the air around his hand and began coalescing on the spear, causing it to glow. After a few seconds, the lights vanished as suddenly as they had appeared. The spear glowed momentarily after the work was done, but its light too soon faded. There below the head of the spear was a mossy green growth with vibrant green tendrils digging into and spreading down the length of the shaft. The purring vibration resumed.<br>
<br>
<b>"Take up...thine spear...little one....<br>
In the prairie...which thou...wilt...enter...upon leaving...my forest...drive...thine spear...into the earth...in a place...of thine choosing....<br>
From it...wilt spring...a mighty...tree...which...shalt honor...these...memories...for generations...to come...."</b><br>
<br>
Once Haruki took the spear, Masaruma lifted his hand and flipped it palm down as more light orbs began coalescing underneath. After a small flash, a spectral buck now stood before them, pawing the ground. As it did so, mushrooms sprouted underneath it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/ciunan-forest-guardian-jpg.1000072/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/937/937202-186c696276a3ae7802935c12954567fa.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" title="ciu'nan forest guardian.jpg" width="137" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<b>"This...wilt be...thine guide...out of...the forest....<br>
In its wake...mushrooms...to bolster...your rations....<br>
Go in peace...travellers...."</b><br>
<br>
Only Fei would hear the following: <b>"Breathless one...I seek...a private...audience...with thee...."</b><br>
<br>
((Regardless of what Fei chooses, he emerges from the forest about the same time as the others.))<br>
<br>
The deer reared as it bellowed, a deep vibrado reminiscent of Masaruma's voice. Instead of trotting as one might expect, the deer simply leapt from one spot to the next, each landing creating momentary spectral ripples accompanied by a chime. As it went, it climbed into the air, bounding just above head height. With its raised position and bright glow, it was hard to lose sight of their guide as the party navigated out of the forest.<br>
<br>
The path was winding and strayed from what appeared to be the main path often, but eventually, just as Masaruma said, the party emerged onto a prairie enclosed by forest. While the sunlight in Masaruma's space was fitting of late morning, the sky above the prairie was already in its red shades of twilight as the sun sank behind the treetops. Ahead, the land sloped downward as a road past below them to the left and right. This would undoubtedly be the main road that would lead to Wonton's village. Across the road from the party, the herd could be seen grazing near the opposite treeline bordering the far side of the prairie.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It's the herd! We haven't lost them!"</span></b> Ciu'nan exclaimed gleefully.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1657303353300-png.1000316/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/937/937446-db024f0472490eb1198c4e178b8457fc.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--left" style="" alt="1657303353300.png" title="1657303353300.png" width="100" height="152" loading="lazy"></a>Upon receiving the leave of this mushroom, Liu relaxed. Crisis averted. He neglected a sigh of relief and examined everyone while they went. The creature seemed to acknowledge the memories of the spear. His mind began churning immediately. What exactly can this elder see in them? All of their knowledge, their lives? It speaks to their mind, perhaps it sees the minds of those around it. Liu winged inwardly; the prospect of information being unguarded in his mind, ripe for the picking, made him squirm. To be undefended in this way made him uncomfortable, to say the least. It must see something, after all, to recognize immediately that some dingy rod with a sharp point was something special just at the word of a stranger. Walking through civilian streets, Liu could not count the number of times he encountered wonderous relics, prayer beads worn by magical monks, swords wielded by ancient generals of reknown, all of aluminum or wood younger than him, painted and then dirtied to feed the fantasies of the naiive. How much more might they be worth under duress? Not to say that Haruki is a scam artist, quite the opposite, Liu could not help but feel the faintest protective instinct -- not that he could protect the cervitaur any more effectively without a year or more of retraining. This must be another facet of magic. Had he any flesh on his face, he would have made a pained expression. For the longest time he found the talk of chi and fortune telling to be absurd. Science, industry, those were magical, not the ecstatic humming of some old opium addict, not the warm feeling you get when you still yourself and breathe deep. Yet, a giant made of fungus that could be worshipped as a god is half out of the ground before him, and the eidolon of a stag strides out of thin air and prances with the sound of a tolling bell to guide them out of an invisible trap. Little thoughts that he now harbored stemming from this mystical thinking, he would have considered them whimsies a year before, useless fancies -- they are now necessary to his wellbeing. A sense of tiredness settled in his chest like a sleeping dog. Will manifests itself outside of the borders of the body and knowledge is a substance flowing through the world. Power brims all around him in some way, taunting him like a rat in a pit. He is, as of now, at its mercy.<br>
<br>
He made a mental note to try to figure out this whole magic thing just in time for the reverberation to enter his mind once more. 'Breathless one,' it said. He stood stock still, silently staring at the others, he expected them all to look toward each other and then toward them as realization dawned on them and perhaps a guarded or betrayed expression or two. However, they did not seem to respond. Liu spread his stance out a little bit and considered for a moment. The creature knew of him and did not demand his delicious bones, so perhaps he was flattering himself. Fair enough. A general sense growing from the bed of facts simmering in his vacuous mind urged him to at least speak with the creature. It likely could follow him and eat him on a whim anyway, so he may as well humor it.<br>
<br>
He made the noise of clearing his throat and produced his map, calling to the group while approaching the fungus carefully, "I shall linger a moment, I must consult with the elder regarding the map I have made. This is... their domain, after all, there is a certain issue of ownership when it comes to these things," he fibbed vaguely, holding up a placating hand, "I shall be along shortly -- I can be quick on my feet," he reassured them, producing his map for effect and reaching the elder in a few moments. With knowledge that the creature could be peering into his mind, Fei's thoughts took on a more subdued texture. They were quieter, vaguer, he pushed many things down through the rumbling floor of the unconscious as best he could, though coherence raised its head often, like a swimmer in their race. Though he grew to disdain the mystical, he was inevitably exposed to meditation and the exercises of the mind, living where he did, when he did, growing up in a household of mild affluence. This would not prevent any creature capable of psychic probing from discovering his thoughts, any more than a rag would block the flow of water from a faucet, though it was a cute attempt. Liu waited for a little bit so that his compatriots would be some distance away before he raised his hood and regarded the creature brazenly, the sun glancing off of his waxen face. He even made a little bow of respect and clasped his hands behind his back, standing with his feet shoulder length apart as though standing at some kind of relaxed attention. But he said nothing.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(65, 168, 95)"><span style="font-size: 26px"><u>Haruki</u></span></span>​</div><br>
Haruki was surprised and beyond elated by the Forest Elder's gift and he couldn't think of a way to properly thank Masaruma for it. So he simply bowed his head and took his leave with the rest of the group. His mind was stuck on the transformation that his spear had undergone and the the power that now lay dormant inside of it, waiting to be used. Quietly he followed behind the phantom deer and kept quiet as he ruminated on his new feelings about his herd and his past. His pain was great and it had seemed his suffering would never end, but now he had met Tia and Mr. Wonton, and they felt like his herd now. On top of that, the pain hurt a little less and felt more like an understanding than an aching. No amount of tears or pity would bring his family back to him. SO he had to make the most of every day and live his life to the fullest.<br>
<br>
<br>
It wasn't until Ciu'nan cheered to the discovery of the deer that, Haruki would awaken from his day dreaming and look around. They had finally arrived to the main road it seemed. Inhaling a deep breath, he looked at Tia and Mr. Wonton. With a heavy sigh he nodded his head. "Mr. Wonton..." The young cervitaur started. "I don't think I can go with you to your family's home." His ears flattened against the top of his head and Haruki cleared his throat. "The Forest Elder has given me a great gift and I think that I need to use it. But I have to find the perfect place to use it, which means I need to do some searching and traveling." He fixed the spear onto his ack and looked to Tia. "I'd really like if you joined me, Tia." The little girl had really started to grow on him and she felt like family at this point, but he would understand if she wanted something else.<br>

<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">- Be safe for me...</span><br>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">It would’ve been seen if Wonton had a mouth, but he was smiling, grateful that the Forest Elder accepted their offerings. He took a small moment to look at Haruki, whom had been given back his obviously changed spear, happy for the Cervitaur’s chance to find peace with his deceased herd. Turning back to face the forest elder, he bowed in thanks. "I'll remember this day for years to come, Forest Elder Masaruma." Before following the others along the path.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">Reaching the point, and witnessing the Herd that was A- Okay, Wonton did a small happy hop with a celebratory “Woop!”. Hearing Haruki want to speak however, he turned and listened to what Haruki was suggesting..</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">He understood, yes, but something didn't sit right, for his thoughts trailed back to a certain man back at the festival.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">"B-but.. Ceylan said for me to keep you and Tia safe..! I would break a promise... But I understand why..."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">He stopped for a moment to calm down after his small concerned outburst, before continuing. </span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">"Sorry about that.. It's just that.. I don't want the two of you to end up in a dangerous situation.. It'd be my fault for not being there to help.. And it would also hurt Ceylan."</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">He was saddened that they were gonna have to separate, but it was how it was, and sometimes you can't control that.  You could influence at most though.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-family: 'book antiqua'">"..Haruki, Tia.. Promise me this one thing. Stay safe.. Not just for me, but also for Ceylan, should we be able to reunite with him again." Wonton, somberly but acceptingly agreed.  "I wish the two of you the best of luck in your journey. As papa said; May Your Heart be Your Guiding Key in finding the door to the memorial spot."</span></b></span></div>

Haru was willingly giving up something he seemed to care for, and she couldn't understand why. Despite her words as the alpha he was doing it anyway. She thought all he needed was a little help to face his fear of the big mushroom so he could keep his shiny claw. But that didn't seem to be the case. He was sad yet happy. Afraid yet not. Why? And what did that mean? Tia just didn't get it. She stepped away from Haru with a feeling of confusion and defeat. Stewing in her emotions she merely watched as the big mushroom did something to Haru's cherished object. Causing it to light up and glow before growing a moss like substance on it. She glared up at the creature seeing it as a greater beast than she. Yet it did not kill or eat them. She supposes it is a herbivore? Though it is without a doubt nothing like the types which could barely fend for themselves against a predator. Tia was finding there was a lot of things that simply didn't fit how she knew nature to work.<br>
<br>
She sulked, as she gazed at them all. The mushroom had ignored her. That irritated her, but it wasn't surprising. It was the superior being, logically she knew if boasting didn't work then all she could do was submit, and try to leave with her life. Yet... she felt it unnecessary. Though her instincts and all she had learned and done within the forest which was once her territory told her otherwise. Tia wondered if it was this body, this human form which influenced her so. So much had changed from her simple days of hunting animals. Could she ever come to comprehend these bipedal creatures as was her desire? She was stirred from her rare moment of what passed for introspection among her ilk. By the great mushroom somehow animating to life a buck he seemed to construct from light. Her eyes widened as she stared at it. Entranced by the sight. A feeling welled in her chest she could not identify. But she did not think it was a bad one. The great mushroom let them leave with the buck to guide them. As she followed Tia turned her head to see the great being of this forest and Fei Liu. As she looked to them curiously she decided she would come back here one day, when she could understand what these things meant. <br>
<br>
Tia surprisingly excited ran after the buck clambering over roots and through bushes to keep up with its leaping gait, a smile tugging at her lips. A rare sense of true childish wonder was suffusing her. The trees then opened up to reveal a large stretch of grass. And upon that land scape was a large herd of animals. The light of the day was slowly giving way to night leaving the land in a pleasing display. The wind blew ticking Tia's cheeks and ruffling her hair gently. Ciu'nan seemed excited to see the grazing animals. Tia wasn't sure why, but they did seem full of precious organic material. It was then that Haru spoke from beside her. She had struggled to understand his decision and feelings, but he was still a part of her pack so she wouldn't abandon him. </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Tia go with Haru. Haru and Tia pack; always together.</span></span><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"</span><span style="color: null"> He still seemed to be experiencing those emotions, but there was a sense of contentment about him. She smiled at him kindly. Then turned to the orange ball creature. She hadn't thought much of him beyond being spare biomass. Though his mention of Ceylan surprised her, and his words more so. She got melancholic thinking of him, but one thing she hadn't realized then, was why the orange ball was with them. She couldn't understand their words at the time, but with her new insight she now knew. Tia saw him differently now, knowing he had stayed with the pack despite being an outsider at Ceylans request. She smiled at him as well then walked up and patted him on the head. The same thing Ceylan had done to her and made her feel good. </span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Wonton, Tia happy she no eat you. You pack mate now."</span></span><span style="color: null"> Tia gave him the highest praise she could possible muster. She didn't really get the other stuff he said. She knew what a heart was and its subsequent arteries, as well as its use within the body. But not how it could lead you as a key. What even was a key?</span><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Haru we go, so you happy!"</span></span><span style="color: null"> A wide grin upon her face she made to follow Haru to wherever this "place" he was searching for was. Her previous sadness having abated. Now knowing Ceylan hadn't abandoned her. Merely entrusted her elsewhere.     </span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b><span style="font-size: 22px"><u>Fei Liu's audience with Masaruma</u></span><br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"Do not fret. When thine life is greater than the trees, thou can be assured to see all manner of creatures. Believe it or not, thine appearance is perhaps among the tamest I have seen. Bones are not a terrifying thing to the forest as all things become nourishment in time.<br>
"Now then, I can guess that thou art curious as to my purposes for this audience, yes? It is a simple matter really: I have a satchel of mushrooms here that I would like for you to deposit on the doorstep of an herbalist who lives nearby. That is all."</span></b><br>
<br>
Liu held his stance for a few moments. A bit of the gravitas surrounding this creature dissipated when it asked him for an errand. It was kind of it to reassure him as well, the old 'I've seen a lot of shit and you're not the worst,' did actually appease him. The mushroom creature began to come off as a kind old man for a moment. But something was a little suspect, to him, about this creature approaching him. There were several to choose from and yet he was the one. Liu could not dwell on this curiosity for too long, it was too strange and vague, attempting to decipher its motives for choosing him would be more confusion than it was worth. He was curious about a simple errand that this old thing wanted him to run. A few things popped into his mind, the logistics of being somehow a steward and an elder but being limited in such a way that errand boys were needed. The skeleton gave himself a moment to consider.<br>
<br>
A guardian of the forest that cannot run errands, a strange case. If they can be guided out of the clearing here, the creature may not be trapped here but simply maintain its domain as such, a convenient dinner plate. A few scenarios ran through his mind. In question: does the creature lack the power to run errands? Is Liu's unfamiliar face the boon here? Does the apothecary expect this creature? Is the creature known to the apothecary? It must be. Is this to balance the scales for him not bringing a sacrifice? Will he owe some kind of debt that is to be paid by this errand? First, can he even refuse this job and second, should he?<br>
<br>
Liu broke his silence and asked carefully, "may I ask, what is this apothecary's name?" <br>
<br>
And then he watched. Intently staring, searching in the voice of the creature or its body for contempt, hesitation, even perhaps fondness. It is a tough task to try to read a mushroom but he did try.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"Her name is Mhu'ati. She settled in the area about a decade ago and has been studying the flora ever since. Her appetite for knowledge is voracious."</span></b><br>
<br>
Liu gave pause again. Would he ask why the creature can't do it itself and risk insinuating that this Masaruma individual is weak? <br>
<br>
"Does she know you?" He asked absently, peering carefully at the appendages and around the base of the creature, looking for the satchel in question.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"She knows many things: the trees, the fungi, the weeds and grasses. These are all she knows and cares for. It has not even entered Mhu'ati's mind that her research is guided by my assistance."</span></b><br>
<br>
This reminded Liu of the traditional medicine specialists and their seemingly endless knowledge of all the little weeds in the world, and what happens to the body when one ingests them. Very well. This story would have to satisfy him.<br>
<br>
"Shall I introduce her to you?" He asked amiably. Perhaps this turn in conversation would allow him grace to ask some less than reverent questions.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"This audience was for thee alone. To try and bring another here without invitation will have thee both endlessly wandering through the forest. If thou were to return alone, however, there is a good chance I would see thee again."</span></b><br>
<br>
"Of course," he acquiesced; perhaps a less than reverent question is not a good move. This all seemed a little suspect but in Liu's mind, tacit was the conclusion that he couldn't really refuse. After all, the wrath of this thing was not worth staying out of a weird situation. After all, it could be innocuous. With a nod, he agreed carefully, "would you like me to mention you by name then?"<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"No, this is but a simple delivery. In all likelihood, she will not even be there when thou arrive, having gone off to examine some new thing. Dropping the mushrooms on her doorstep will suffice."</span></b><br>
<br>
"Very well," he acquiesced finally, sufficiently satisfied that -- even if there were anything more going on here than an extraordinarily powerful creature asking him for a quick errand -- he would not likely have to explain himself. Fei brought up the map he had been working on. Between the town he fled and his current location, threads of detail permeated the blank sallow page, the motifs of trees spread out from his trail leading back through time. Other details: ponds, hills, odd pieces of landscape, all populated the document, most are likely familiar to this steward of the wilds. Missing from the page was this very glade, Liu chose not to add it. He presented the figure toward the creature, "could you indicate for me on this document where the apothecary's hut is? I shall deliver your package, elder."<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">"Mhu'ati's abode is beyond the bounds of thine map. I trust thee to fill it in as thou go. You will emerge from my realm in a prairie with a road passing through its middle. Take that road to the south and thou will find Mhu'ati's home on the eastern side of the path, nestled into the border of a small forest. It is a solitary structure, so you will find it with ease."</span></b><br>
<br>
Liu nodded promptly and deftly deposited the map in his hands to the container at his side. Then, he stretched a gloved hand out to accept the package. Conspicuously he avoided speaking of compensation.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(97, 189, 109)">Masaruma reached up under his mushroom hat and withdrew a cloth sack. It bulged with the contents, but the opening was drawn closed by a rope. He set it down before Fei. Though the sack was seemingly stuffed with many somethings, its weight was negligible.<br>
<br>
<b>"I leave it in thine hands, mapmaker."</b><br>
<br>
The spectral deer from before appears and begins trotting off into the forest.</span><br>
<br>
Liu bowed briefly and returned a heavy pile of cloth to the top of his head, covering his shiny dome in fabric and dark shadow. Then, in a moment the sack was up over his shoulders and he began walking towards the rest of the group.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>In the twilight, clouds could be seen approaching from the east, rolling off the shoulders of the mountain range, the foot of which they were nearing. A moderate breeze was blowing down from the far peaks, promising the clouds would soon arrive. The prairie was quickly dimming in the shadow of the surrounding trees, waving lightly under the wind's duress.<br>
<br>
Ahead of the party across the road, the herd had been grazing on the far section of the prairie. As the wind picked up, however, they moved in the treeline to take shelter. Off to the left (north), stragglers from the herd could be seen exiting a dilapidated structure of some kind. Though mostly walls remained, there were traces of ornamentation that might suggest to the learned observer that the structure once held a certain prestige in times past. Of course, that former glory was long forgotten as one deer released droppings on the stair as it joined its kin.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan waited patiently as Haruki shared his heart with his travel mates. Fei emerged at some point during this, so the fae approached him while the trio had their moment.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"How did it go?"</span></b> Ciu'nan asked curiously, an eager smile curling her mouth.<br>
<br>
Allowing Fei to say what he would, she would motion to the dilapidated structure when the others were ready, listening to the cloaked shadow as she began moving forward. What appeared to be the front of the structure was fairly intact, including the arch of the entrance. Portions of the exterior walls still stood, mostly around the main supports, corners, as well as a few interior doorways. Without a roof, the structure would not help much against the coming rain.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"I have an errand: to deliver these to someone toward the south," he responded politely. His shoulders twitched out of reflex to indicate a bow but the giant sack of mushrooms prevented his full gesture from shading the tossing grass. The temperature may have been dropping on account of the rain rolling in but Liu seemed to maintain the same degree of openness in his posture as before. Not that it was very much in the first place, it simply did not change. Though the cold did nothing to bother his bones, the mud and the sludge was something he did not feel the need to contend with. Hopefully the mushrooms would keep. Fei nodded in agreement with the meaning of the lady fey's gesture and began to make his own way toward the structure. His shaded gaze probed the cracks and piles of algae eating at the stone with a solemnity. In some ways he identified with the structure. A weird feeling. If he had eyelids he would've squinted uncomfortably.</div>

Does that mean you'll be leaving like the others?"</span></b> Ciu'nan asked, a forlorn intonation involuntarily accenting the question.<br>
<br>
She looked around the rubble of the structure as they talked. Ambiguous pieces of wood and stone littered the floor of the main chamber. A horribly frayed and wrinkled fabric spanning the room in fragments must have served as a decorative carpet at one time. In one corner to the back of the structure, there was a depressed pile of rubble. Ciu'nan nudged the old stones with her toe, but then something caught her eye: through the crumbled, weathered stone she saw shadow and empty space.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Look, Fei! I think there's a hypogean chamber here!"</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan crouched and shifted around at different angles, studying the rubble burying the subterranean chamber. Drawing her spear, she wedged it in the stones to grant her some leverage. Prying this way and that on the stones, she managed to move them slightly, but there was a rather large piece weighing much of the pile down.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Here, Fei, help me move this."</span></b> said she, jamming her spear under the large piece of rubble.<br>
<br>
Together they, rolled the larger piece of rubble off the stack, freeing up what lay underneath. With a bit of manual labor, a path was cleared to the basement of the structure. The lower level wasn't as wondrous a find as a treasure room in an ancient temple might be, but the floor above would provide partial cover from the coming rain. Several shelves stood in various states of decay. One shelf held a few scrolls, while books lay here and there on the others, the paper therein mostly mildewed to a delicate, illegible state.<br>
<br>
The basement was largely in shadow, so Ciu'nan took the liberty of collecting some of the books and using them to start a fire near the rubble-strewned stairwell.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"Perhaps, unless the herd intends to travel south," he offered dryly, seemingly unfazed by her downtrodden response. He opted to follow her about the rubble, casting his gaze around. It made him uncomfortable in a vague sense, seeing how readily time leaves these types of structures behind. In the past it might have been something grand and respectable but now it is nearly imperceptible among the features of the wilderness. The structure was erected with such care as well, the detail in the architecture, unless it is a simple matter to construct a building in this world, and there should have been other structures around. Those were likely already ground to dust by time, its presence a sweeping pale wind through creation, imperceptibly sapping away at everything until it ends up like this, or like him, or the dirt. After a pace or two, he added, "well, I am rather quick, so I may try to catch up with you and the herd once I am finished. I am told this errand is simple in nature and unlikely to be more complicated than dropping this satchel at the door and leaving."<br>
<br>
With his wan reassurance uttered, when Ciu'nan found a basement buried under some rubble, Fei's curiosity piqued a little. Hopefully the rubble was worn away by time, he would hate to uncover a pile of bodies in a basement after some terrible event resigned this structure to disuse. Fei grumbled quietly in his ghostly way and approached the rubble to help her clear it away, revealing a moldy basement. He paced carefully down the stairs and silently considered himself lucky that she was able to scrounge up some burnable material to fight this pitch black. Although, he did squirm a little at the act of burning books. While the fire grew, he peered carefully inside, being sure to stay by the stairs.</div>

Glancing around at the basement, her face became contemplative. Once the fire was established to her liking, she rose and turned in a slow full circle taking in the simple chamber.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It's rather...plain."</span></b> She said finally. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"You'd think there would be more interesting things in a forgotten place like this....A shame the books and scrolls are illegible. There might have been an interesting story to tell about this place."</span></b><br>
<br>
Above them, the wind howled against the exposed skeleton of the ruins. Ciu'nan climbed the stairs for a brief look outside. On the wind, the smell of rain greeted her nostrils as her ears picked up the particular sound of rain hitting leaves, like rain on the canopies as one walks through the marketplace in a downpour. It was the kind of sound to induce reminiscing about her trips to Ryken or the various markets of the villages across the countryside.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"They'll be receiving what's left of this rain in a few days, I imagine...."</span></b> she said, mostly to herself as her eyes looked to the west whence she had come.<br>
<br>
The surrounding trees were all in shadow against what light remained in the cooling sky. Had it been clear conditions, the first few stars or the moon might have been just becoming visible.<br>

Some water seemed to be running down into the basement on account of the strengthening rain and in response Liu scooted so that the fire was directly between him and the stairs. Having glanced around carefully in the moments before, he was well convinced that they were alone in this dusty basement. He had no guesses as to what this building could have been, time had been so unkind to it. There was no descriptive furniture left upstairs and downstairs was nothing more than a storage closet, "this place is likely to have been dull in its lifetime as well, of course," he commented dismissively, picking up a nearby book, examining it to find its leaves withered with black, dry mould. He imagined his sinuses tickling at the sensation even without any flesh on his bones, and discarded the volume into the fire.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Perhaps this is a place of worship for some hamlet no longer in existence; there are too many books for it to be a place of learning, this much paper can only be used for one thing: bureaucracy,"</span> he commented disdainfully, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"birth records, death records, harvests, cattle," </span>he waved his hand toward the shelves,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "and I would be delighted to be incorrect,"</span> he finished, placing his hand back down. His legs were crossed before the fire and his hands rested stiffly on them, elbows each at the same angle on either side of him. His back was straight where he sat. He ruminated on what the place could be, scanning the furniture idly. He had no intention of staying, but he weighed the consequences of staying around in places like this. A skeleton in a ruin, what a surprise!</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Eventually the rain did pass over the ruin. Night had fallen by now, but a steady glow could be seen from the underground chamber. Ciu'nan had retreated down the stairs where she passed the time with Fei. As the night drug on, Ciu'nan suddenly perked up. She stood and stalked over to the stairs with her ears at attention.<br>
<br>
Through the pattering of the rain, she heard footsteps. Several footsteps. From the sloshing, they appeared to be coming down the road from the direction of Wanton's village. Ciu'nan followed the sound as they entered the prairie and moved towards its center. When they were beside the ruin, the footsteps suddenly stopped.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan's hand touched her abdomen. She felt something she hadn't felt in quite awhile: anxious. There was definitely something not right, but she and Fei were sitting ducks here in the basement. She looked to him, unable to offer any instruction or words of encouragement. Then she heard it: a single set of footsteps approaching from the road.<br>
<br>
The sloshing steps became muted as the individual passed from the muddy road to the grassy field. Muted steps became assertive strides across the stone floor of the ruin. Steadily drawing near the glow from the stairwell. Ciu'nan drew her spear, unable to do much else. As the steps came directly overhead, they suddenly halted, and the cadence of the rain gave ambience to the otherwise uneasy stillness.<br>
<br>
Then from the darkness overhead, came a voice, <b>"Hail down there! Might I join you for a moment?"</b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan looked to Fei in stunned silence. She knew what she felt, but there was no hiding from the visitor at this point. He asked for permission instead of just barging in, however, so maybe her feeling was misplaced. She looked to Fei, motioning for him to answer...or not.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu was out of practice to be sure. He had no mystical sense and this stranger's voice was not preceded by any primal feeling of dread. Instead, their voice, brushed through with the rushing rain and caught him by surprise. His mortal hearing could not detect the footsteps through the roar outside and had the figure not announced itself, he would've hardly heard it before seeing it . A vacuous glance found Ciu'nan's nervous face and Liu faintly considered his own stance. Surely, this figure was completely off for a few reasons. Pouring down rain does not prompt someone to join them for only a moment even with an urgent message. If this thing had ill intentions they're done for anyway, he reasoned. Besides, a violent beast would simply tear down the stairs and thrash them. This figure could instead be a murderer or creep of some kind. Ostensibly, it's hard to find a creep in the woods, since it's hard to randomly encounter most people in the woods. On the other hand, wouldn't there be a higher concentration of creeps in the woods, to be left alone in their creeping?<br>
<br>
Threatened by cyclical logic, Liu inclined his head toward Ciu'nan, thankful for his lack of intuition in this case, and gently held a placating hand in her direction; he called out after a short pause, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"but a moment, stranger? This downpour will not last for a moment, please join us at least until it subsides,"</span> he offered, staying his seat near the fire and watching the entrance carefully. He adjusted his hood once more, to be sure his mantle of shadows were clinging faithfully to his face.</div>

The steps came slow, painfully slow. Despite the stranger's apparent eagerness to step inside, his steps were cautious in navigating the stairs. Descending into the firelight, the disembodied voice was given a thoroughly drenched <a href="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/11/63/f61163eaf1ea8007064c30161b589f85.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2F564x%2Ff6%2F11%2F63%2Ff61163eaf1ea8007064c30161b589f85.jpg&amp;hash=77ea01c4f6ae3b9b8154f96e28b1e250" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><span style="color: rgb(44, 130, 201)"><u>form</u></span></a>.<br>

The individual was obscured head to foot, understandably so given the weather. Pulling at the flap of his coat, he shook it off some at the foot of the stairs, taking care not to splash the fire. When he had situated himself, he glanced around the room briefly then fixated on his welcome: first Fei then Ciu'nan.<br>
<br>
<b>"Yes...yes, indeed. My thanks, friends."</b> His tone was grateful, exceptionally so. Ciu'nan still held her spear, but the stranger didn't seem to mind. <b>"I appreciate the offer to stay, but I shall only be a moment. I just...wanted to see...."</b><br>
<br>
His voice  trailed off as he looked the pair over again.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu would have squinted if he had eyelids. What an odd getup, seems to invoke death, unduly so. It made him somewhat unwilling to trust the individual, at risk of irony. They wanted to see; very well, the skeleton uncrossed his legs and placed one foot on the ground. This position was just a little easier to get up from at a moment's notice. His hypothesis was that the man, who has some kind of extra sense, found him or the Fey curious, or perhaps did not previously know of this little basement  and merely became curious of any presence at all. Caution for the first scenario, in his mind, benefitted him more. After shifting his seating, he gestured over the fire to fill the space and tilted his head amiably, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"very well, though we have enough fire to share,"</span> he replied wistfully with a measured tone, but that tone indicated he had more to say.<br>
<br>
Buying a silent moment, he retracted his arm and put on a curious tone, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"so, what is it that you see?"</span></div>

The fae was conflicted as no one had ever made her feel like this. Anxiety was not something associated with the "Merry Fae" as she was known. Even when defending sheepfolds from wolves or dissuading aggressive hunters from over hunting, this feeling was unknown to Ciu'nan.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">Why...Why do I...know you...? Know to be afraid of you??</span></i><br>
<br>
Seemingly oblivious to the discomfort he caused, the stranger lingered, apparently amused by Fei's question as he offered a light laugh. Clearing his throat, his beak turned to the prone bundle of fabric.<br>
<br>
<b>"I was told that I could...meet someone here...."</b> he said vaguely.<br>
<br>
The eyes behind the mask must have been curious, at the very least fascinated, by what they beheld there in the basement of the ruins. It was as if there was something he wished to say as he glanced between them, but he refrained for reasons only he knew.<br>
<br>
<b>"It seems I am early. Yes...far too early for the meeting. Perhaps soon though."</b><br>
<br>
Overhead, the rain drummed on the stones above them. The stairwell illuminated briefly as a silent flash of lightning scattered in the clouds. Suddenly, a powerful beating of wings could be heard. The figure glanced up the stairwell.<br>
<br>
<b>"Well, I suppose that is my cue. My thanks for the use of your fire and shelter."</b> A quick nod was given to Fei, while the stranger turned and gave an abbreviated bow to Ciu'nan adding, <b>"My lady...."</b><br>
<br>
Without another word, he turned and climbed the stairs out of sight. His footsteps tapped along the stones, then were lost in the grass as the rain's cadence overtook them.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu tilted his head forward a little and maintained his stance. This figure turned out to be a little more neurotic than he expected. A meeting does not seem to indicate anything regarding his status. He was greatly relieved that he has not thus far encountered anyone who could read his condition off the bat, unless they decided not to comment on it. He figured, given Ciu'nan's reaction, if anyone would, this individual woiuld have. The great elder mushroom does not count in Liu's mind; it seemed to be an exceptional beast, exceptional even considering the individual standing before them. Liu was spinning more careful words to play for the stranger but the individual, who did admit to having a meeting, abruptly ended their conversation without any further input from Liu. The cloaked skeleton was able to nod and raise his hand kindly and with the little time given offered only <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"stay healthy stranger,"</span> to the heels of their retreating boots. He could barely detect the beating of huge wings outside. Unable to parse the direction of travel, he shrugged gently under his cloak. There was a chance that out on the road he could have been target to this bird in the absence of a rainstorm. <br>
<br>
After a few moments of staring at empty stairs, Liu turned gently toward Ciu'nan, surveying her terrified comportment and keeping silent. He seemed to be waiting for her to speak.</div>

She listened to his departure, hoping that his steps didn't suddenly double back to return. Still reeling from the encounter, she did not even question the beating wings that caused him to depart. The many footfalls that had approached now resumed their rain-soaked with beating wings accompanying their departure.<br>
<br>
A hand absently covered Ciu'nan's face. First gently touching her cheek, then covering her eyes, then flipping and pressing the back of the hand to her forehead, wiping sweat that had collected on her brow. Her chest heaved as she attempted to regulate her breathing. Fear was so foreign to her that she never developed a coping mechanism for it.<br>
<br>
She looked to Fei, who had turned to her. Tears began rolling down her cheeks as she attempted to make sense of her feelings.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I...I'm sorry."</span></b> she said, wiping her eyes as she laid the spear next to her. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I...don't know what's happening to me."</span></b><br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu shook his head, curious as to her reaction, and his ignorance, but first reassured her, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"no, not at all... we had no defined objective here. You did not fail. We are alive and well, which is the directive in absence of all others,"</span> he offered to her grief. After a lingering gaze, unseen in his heavy cloak, he turned his attention back to the fire and stoked it higher for her benefit, reaching out to his side and beckoning her closer to it, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"here, come be warm, it will help the shivering," </span>he offered. As he stared into the fire, memories began returning to him. Nighttime next to a fire, the sound of shells exploding far in the distance, sitting on an empty ammo crate while he warmed his hands, loose straps of a helmet dangling by his cheeks, soot and mud camoflauging his skin against the already weak light. Toward his right but a few meters away from he fire, a young man, more a boy shivered, stark white bandages lumping around his neck, congregating around his ear stained red and covering his eye shone in the night around his body, and a thick bundle of bandages around his left arm rested on his knees. His entire body was shaking, his lips were slack and his eyes were dull. Something exploded on his left side and he has not spoken yet, nor acknowledged anyone.<br>
<br>
The next day he went back to the front and never saw the kid again afterward. Some time later he heard rumors about people that were done in by shellshock being killed as a mercy rather than sent home, but he never got around to confirming it, and a couple people he knew of came back to their senses after a while, at least mostly. He wondered faintly if that kid ever made it back. Maybe he came here. He wondered further which was the greater mercy, between releasing him and giving him back to his family without his soul.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>In an attempt to regain herself, Ciu'nan buried her face in her hands, her elbows resting on her legs. She remained like this until Fei beckoned her closer to the fire. Peeking out from behind her hands, the fae offered him a weak smile. Giving her eyes another wipe, she crawled over to join him at the fire.<br>
<br>
The rain overhead continued to pour and dripped through to the basement in places, especially around the stairs. They weren't in danger of being flooded, but finding an elevated place to sleep might be wise. The cadence of the rain lulled Ciu'nan into a trance as she stared into the fire.<br>
<br>
She was back in her den in the forest outside of Ryken, though the den had not become hers quite yet. It was occupied by four wolves. Ciu'nan was dripping wet and only entered to seek shelter from the rain that day. The parents growled their displeasure at her presence. The fae had been confused. Was she not also of the forest? Could these animals not sense her kinship with them? Ciu'nan still had much to learn back then...and that day would be a very important lesson.<br>
<br>
She came back to the fire in the basement of the ruins not feeling particularly better for having relived that particular memory. Her downcast eyes would not raise as she spoke suddenly.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Why do you make maps, Fei?"</span></b> she asked, her voice cracking slightly.<br>
<br>
The question came not out of a dire need to know, or even just mere curiosity, but it was a desperate, albeit unconscious, attempt to redirect her thoughts. Say something, anything, keep the conversation flowing, if at all it might distract her for a moment from her thoughts.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Fei peered at the fire for a few awkward moments, as though he hadn't heard her question, before turning his head toward her form and making a noise at the back of his throat -- or, at least mimicking the noise he would have made. He reached for the map canister theatrically while he brought himself to the present, answering coherently,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "convenience; we all must make money. I have many skills but no taste for violence any longer, since all of my enemies are dead or terribly dishonored,"</span> he explained with an even tone, thinly masked pride lurking in his inflection. By that time the canister was resting in his hands, palms up. Turning to look down at it, he continued, "beside... perhaps I am not a mapmaker, not yet. I can navigate, I can draw, but I have not been making maps for very long. I haven't sold any so far, I have had difficulty holding onto my things in my travel... they keep getting destroyed," he sighed, placing the canister on his knees and opening it up.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Well, this trip has gone far better than the others so far,"</span> he commented, trailing off a little after peering at her condition, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"well, for my possessions anyway,"</span> he added, producing the map. He checked the edges, commenting, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"you see, there was not even any dampness in the canister,"</span> while sliding the tube of vellum back into its place. He shoved it back into the bag and placed his hands in his lap, resuming his fire-staring.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Ciu'nan sniffled, her eyes never leaving the fire as Fei answered. A halfhearted smile attempted to lodge in her face as Fei spoke of his pacifistic nature.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"The peaceful mapmaker...."</span></b> Ciu'nan mumbled softly. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Somehow those ideas feel right together."</span></b><br>
<br>
The smile had found its place as the idea seemed to please Ciu'nan, while she reflected on her companion's choice of lifestyle. By his own admission, Fei was once steeped in a less wholesome business, but now he had made the choice to pursue a different path. That was somehow exceptionally beautiful to the fae.<br>
<br>
Only now did she look at Fei as he mentioned his misfortune on the road regarding his supplies. Ciu'nan looked from his canister to the rain leaking in from various places. Clearing her throat, she began looking around.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Then we should find you a good place to store your things so they don't get wet tonight. Perhaps on one of the shelves? That satchel should be hung up as well perhaps?"</span></b> Ciu'nan said indicating the bulging sack Fei had received from Masaruma.<br>
<br>
Seemingly coming back to herself, or simply maximizing on the distraction of finding a dry place for Fei's things, Ciu'nan rose and began examining the shelves. Rain was leaking around a few of them, which probably contributed to the paper materials on them being more mildewy. Pacing around a few times, she found a shelf in a corner that appeared to have the least amount of mildew on the paper goods thereon. She also found an empty sconce that had presumably once held a torch.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"It seems the shelf back there would be good to hold your canister away from the water, and this sconce could hang up the satchel."</span></b> Ciu'nan said in a pleased tone, having done what she could to help.<br>

Thin shadows swept across the back of the room when his legs eclipsed the fire. In a moment, the satchel was hanging from a sconce and then made his way to the corner where this shelf rested. He placed his hand down on it and pressed hard a few times to make sure the thing was not so rotted that it would collapse with his things. It whined and a squishy piece came off of the edge but the center of the shelf was still strong and he figured that it would be enough. Leaving the bag, he returned to the fire and stood for a little while, peering toward the stairs with his arms crossed. The lightning lit them up periodically, thunder followed obediently, the ambiance beckoned his mind far away and he had some trouble staying in the moment as evinced by the way he fell still standing near the fire, staring at the opening. After a few moments he came to his senses, looked around and sat down.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>Ciu'nan was pleased that she could assist Fei. Her former concerns seemed much less now after that brief distraction. All she could feel was an all-consuming fatigue. It occurred to her that with all the excitement they had thus far, this particular job was without a doubt her most taxing one yet. There was a satisfaction that came with it even if tonight had been rather unpleasant for a moment or two. Ciu'nan smiled sleepily as she returned to the fire with Fei.<br>
<br>
Though her companion remained standing, Ciu'nan eased herself down on a pile of rubble mixed with miscellaneous fragments from the books and shelving. She was soon out, lulled to sleep by falling rain. In her helpless state, she would toss and turn as bird-faced individuals chased her through the night.<br>
<br>
By morning the thunder and lightning had passed, but the rain would linger for awhile yet. There was no driving wind, allowing the rain to sprinkle down where it would. In the basement where the pair stayed, water did indeed collect in puddles here and there, but Fei's items that had been hung up were perfectly dry.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan would awake with a jolt, the only release from the pursuer in her dreams. She rubbed her face as she looked around. The fire had been nearly smothered unless Fei had tended to it and kept it from the puddling at the base of the stairs. A glance to the stairs would show that it's still dark. Though it was indeed morning, daylight would not find purchase through the clouds that brought the rain.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Did anyone else stop by?"</span></b> Ciu'nan asked Fei, then, <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I probably should go check on the herd real quick."</span></b><br>
<br>
Grabbing her spear and bag, Ciu'nan shuffled up the stairs, hoping the rain would help wake her up. She shivered slightly as the first several drops touched her. Rising above the ground floor of the ruins, Ciu'nan saw no trace of their visitor the previous evening or the group that had been with him. Neither did she see any great winged creature like the one she had heard after the strangers departure. These were unimportant matters though. Her gaze shifted to the trees where she saw the herd take shelter the previous evening.<br>
<br>
<br>

	</div><br>
Taking a direct path to the trees, Ciu'nan turned as she slunk closer to where the deer had been. Once she was close enough, she started making out their huddled forms on the ground. The bucks were pacing as usual. It seemed like the herd had not even woken yet, but it would surely be just a matter of time. Content with her reconnaissance, Ciu'nan returned to the basement, squelching down the stairs dripping wet.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"They haven't left yet, so I'll have breakfast real quick. If you hurry up and eat, perhaps you could make your delivery and get back before they leave. If we're gone when you get back, I can mark the trees along the way so you can find us again. Unless you'd rather just head to the nearby towns at this point?"</span></b> Ciu'nan said as she began stuffing handfuls of mushroom into her mouth gathered from the spectral deer that led them out of Masaruma's territory.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu shook his head to her initial question. The night passed swiftly for him, rain and memories seemed to lubricate the passage of time. If it were possible morning would have snuck up on him. It seemed that the passage of time opened enough gaps in the stones below them and the near-enough trees' roots warped the foundation enough that the water drained out only a little bit slower than it ran in, and the probing puddles seeped into the cracks but diverted mostly to the back corner, following a track along the wall. The inside was damp but their fire was not in trouble. Every once in a while, Liu would stoke it and add some fuel but by the time morning came, the fire died, between the damp and his reduced sensitivity to the dark, his sleepless dreaming had allowed the fire to sneak away finally just a few hours before morning. He may have offered a cloak of his own but it was room temperature at best, and her sleep was restless enough that she seemed to be exercising to keep warm anyway.<br>
<br>
"I will eat on the way," he reassured her, fetching his things while adding, "do make a few very discreet marks for me. I can be speedy when I wish to be. I have a feeling that this delivery will be exceedingly simple and I have a striking feeling that this little expedition will be a fine addition to this map."<br>
<br>
It was as the old one said, there was nobody present in the cabin. It was an odd shape and to his mind just a tad lopsided and looking through the curtained windows he could only see silhouettes of arcane and obscure objects with unknown purposes. An eyefull of weird knicknacks was enough to sate his curiosity and the sack of mushrooms was sitting before the doorstep. He looked over his shoulder briefly and considered leaving some kind of clue but in his imagination this forest steward had a way to surveil his movements. He left his package there and wished the alchemist good fortune before turning to rejoin his own group. Through a combination of otherworldly swiftness and geographical intuition he returned to the trek without much delay. <br>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>As it turned out, Fei would return as Ciu'nan was heading into the forest to follow the herd as it finally moved out. Ciu'nan would remark that it seemed like the herd was sluggish today for some reason. The herd had been travelling hard for three days now, so perhaps they had finally hit their natural limit. The sudden change in energy might also indicate that the herd was nearing the end of its journey--however that might look or whatever it might mean.<br>
<br>
The rain would continue all that day. As they travelled north, the rain's intensity would decline slightly, but it continued nonetheless. They were nearing the foot of the mountain at this point. The rolling, tree-covered hills they had known would gradually become rocky as the trees would become less and less.<br>
<br>
It was sometime in the late morning that the mountain's foot suddenly rose up in front of them as the first of many tiers of sheer cliff faces prevented forward travel. The herd followed the cliff face around to the south and east until a pass was found. The innumerable deer flooded into the wide pass easily enough, but as they continued along its path, the way became narrower and narrower.<br>
<br>
At about noon, they hit the gate. It was a standard sized stone brick wall with a small gatehouse over top of the gateway, which was barred with an iron portcullis. Apparently, this pass had once been fortified for one reason or another. The cliffs on either side prevented circumnavigation, and the portcullis was down. The bucks in front aggressively butted the iron gate, some pieces of their antlers snapping off in the process.<br>
<br>
Out of concern for the deer, Ciu'nan set out to see if she could open the gate. Finding a narrow ledge that rose up close to the top of the gate, the agile fae leapt across to the top of the wall. The gatehouse was just big enough to house the crank to lift the gate with some extra space perhaps for a weapons cache at one time.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan grabbed the crank and began to turn it, but found it stuck fast, presumably from untold years of stagnation. She called to Fei and asked for his assistance with the crank. Helping him up the ledge and across to the gatehouse if necessary, they both would push against the crank. In this instance, the rain was fortuitous as the soft ground relinquished the bottom of the portcullis a bit easier than it would have when dried, or especially frozen.<br>
<br>

	</div><br>
The catch that would have otherwise held the crank had at some point gone missing, so the pair manning the gatehouse would have to hold the crank until the herd had passed through. The deer appeared to have no concept of the potential danger as they crawled under the jagged portcullis as it raised high enough for them to do so. Several tense minutes passed as the herd bottlenecked through the gate. Finally, the last of them had passed without incident, and the pair could release their grasp on the crank. It whirled wildly as the portcullis sank into the mud once more. Taking a moment to relish being released from the crank's burden, Ciu'nan wearily gestured onward while panting as she hopped down on the far side of the wall.<br>
<br>
Beyond the gate was the vaguest remnants of a small, fort-like structure. Aside from the floor and a brick or two still left in a corner beyond the gate, the rest of building had inexplicably vanished. There were strange gouges and tracks in the floor and lower walls of the ravine. Nothing of note was left in the vague remnants of the fort, making it easy to move on with the deer without much pause except to rest weary arms.<br>
<br>
The ravine was quiet compared to the forests they had traversed up til now. One might briefly see a bird flying far overhead before being obscured by the cliffs, but nothing moved along the walls or the floor. The narrow path was too rocky to host much plantlife.<br>
<br>
It wasn't long after leaving the gate behind that the walls of the ravine widened into a comfortably roomy yet small, lush dead end. Like a natural garden here at the ravine's end, the space was sprinkled with trees and bushes, some of which bore fruit, however, there at the far end was a massive, tangled briar bush that seemed to sprout out of the wall.<br>
<br>
The deer had no interest in any of the foliage around them and instead went straight for the briars. Packing themselves around the bush, the deer began to hungrily chomp at the green delicacy. At first there was nothing out of the ordinary: just a bunch of deer ganging up to eat a briar bush.<br>
<br>
Then the green garden began to stain red....<br>
<br>
As the deer munched on their mouthfuls of briar, blood began to seep out of their mouths. Trickles at first, then free-flowing streams of crimson mingled with their saliva and dribbled down their muzzles. The bush had in part animated, it seemed, causing the barbs to project at the deer as they approached for a bite and continued to poke and sting as they chewed on it. Despite what must be incredible pain, the deer gnashed their teeth all the more vigorously at the bush.<br>
<br>
Once the bush had begun to noticeably diminish from the sadistic appetites of the deer, its assault grew more violent. The vines of briar lashed out at the deer, lacerating throats, gouging eyes, impaling hearts. Now the deer began to fall, while those who were first began to succumb to the blood loss they had been experiencing. Even so, the remainder of the herd mindlessly marched forth to fill in where the ones ahead had fallen. Thus this went on for some time, Ciu'nan and Fei being powerless to stop the grotesque feast.<br>
<br>
Eventually, the bush had been ate away enough to reveal that there was a passage in the cliff behind it. With the lively nature of the briars, however, venturing near the passage while any part of the bush remained would not be wise. Of course, the herd was numerous, and the bush could not regenerate itself. With the deer pushing beyond their natural limits to gorge on the briars, it was only a matter of time before the last of the bush was ripped from the ground it had sprang from. In the end, only six deer would remain as the would-be seventh and eighth succumbed to the vines they were eating.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan would openly weep as she stared in horror and heartbreak at the scene unfolding before her eyes. There was no reason, no logic, that could justify what she had just witnessed, and she sank to her knees in the middle of the garden staring at the eviscerated and bloody carcasses around her. The remaining deer would stand at the cave entrance revealed by their kin, bewitched into a trance-like state by some unknown power.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Fei stared intently at the gore, curiosity piqued. He had some vague impression of them being possessed when they butted against the gate so vigorously. Many ideas ran through his mind. A settlement with shamanic magics which draw deer to their gates to feast or tend them, or perhaps it's intended to keep the deer out. It seemed more likely to be the latter once they found this red garden. He kicked himself for not scouting ahead, he might have been able to save this poor woman some grief. There was an uncharacteristic excitement in him at nearing the end of this journey, he reasoned, which distracted him from thinking tactically. Never mind that, he mulled over the implications of this creature the deer impaled themselves on. He could not tell whether this thing was summoned, created, or perfectly natural. The passage behind it gave him some doubts about the first two, but he took a step forward curiously, then stopped, peering back at her. Given his... condition, he had few worries about how the remaining plant would affect him. But his companion, he did not want to see any harm befall her. In bold face, his desires came out. At the back of his mind, his desire to find a place that would not bother him for his issue, hidden, fortified, safe, a place of community, that is what he was looking for. That is what this could be, and the herd of beasts that would otherwise lead travellers to this place are now fertilizer. What could be more perfect?<br>
<br>
He stepped back and neared himself to Ciu'nan. He did not touch her for fear that she would discover his condition, she did not need to see such a thing yet while being so affected by this development. Usually he would have something reassuring to say but truly, after such a spectacle he was speechless and, perhaps shamefully, excited at the prospect of such a defensible place to claim for his own. His eyes roamed over the ground slicked with blood and gore and fixed on the passage. He merely stood unspeaking near her, allowing her to express her anguish. A strange apathy settled in him at the scene itself, then empathy for her, then jealousy of her. Perhaps it's because he has already gone through this. The body piles from the war were high, smelled terrible, buried in the earth without ceremony, sometimes were not soldiers, and were far larger than this herd. This scene rolled off of him, but her anguish reminded him of what he had at some point. As the desire to explore ebbed a little, in the space a tenuous mixture of jealousy and empathy filled in and drove him to a hint of distaste for himself. He stared down at her for a moment and then his gaze arced down toward the dirt and then up toward the entrance again, patient for now.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>It rained. A cooling, all-encompassing shower borne by the gray clouds above that was sufficient to begin the process of cleaning the slate. Water color pastels became vibrant once more through the rain's purification, but the filth and refuse ran a muddy sanguine on the floor below.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan had half-heartedly approached before falling to her knees, but she was still a safe distance away from the muck. Even so, she stood as her tears became camouflaged by the rainwater. Her fists clenched at her sides as a new emotion began to pollute her sadness.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Why...?"</span></b> She said aloud as her cheeks tensed. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"What was so important that all these deer had to die?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan drew her spear as she approached the cave. She seemed to ignore her feet splashing through the red water. The deer lingering at the mouth of the cave didn't seem to mind as she moved between them to the entrance.<br>
<br>
It was dark inside. The overcast sky offered little assistance in illuminating the passage. Even so, Ciu'nan could see a faint glow at the end of the tunnel.<br>
<br>
She cautiously stepped inside, spear raised, as she stalked into the darkness towards that distant glow. The noise of the outside became muted betwixt the stone, a faint hissing all that hinted at the rain outside. Despite the external conditions, the inside of the cave was markedly dry, which was all the more curious given its gradual descending grade.<br>
<br>
The shaft she occupied did not wander for too long before reaching its raison d'être: a small chamber containing a lone fountain--the source of the glow. Its design was largely plain save for symbols etched into its rim. Even a layman could guess its magic nature, but Ciu'nan glared in disbelief.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"This is it...?"</span></b> Ciu'nan said finally. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"All of that blood and sacrifice for this?!"</span></b><br>
<br>
In her frustration, she swatted the surface of the water irreverently. While the glowing water still hung in the air, a cloud suddenly issued from the fountain, filling and obscuring the chamber.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu leaned away from her a little at her outburst. Perhaps this is the kind of instinct that makes pets a popular choice for people; the ability to form attachment to this random herd of deer after merely following behind them and stepping in their dung for a week was enough for her to be angry at their being preyed upon. He himself was never so fond of animals. He was not quick to correct her either, she was holding a spear and willing to slap such a compelling structure over her attachment. Liu would have looked disappointed, though not so incensed, that this cavern was occupied by something probably not unknown but recondite considering the giant gate they encountered on their way there. Lost in thought considering his options for establishing some kind of secret town in this little cave high in the mountains, guarded by a gate and evil plants, he hardly noticed her actions until there was a thick cloud obscuring his vision in the chamber. Immediately he clamored forward, trying to place a hand on Ciu'nan's nearest shoulder before he lost sight of her completely.<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"><br>
"Oh dear,"</span> he expressed neutrally. Names rose in his mind to call her but perhaps now is not the time. Silently, he cast his eyes around and strained his ears... so to speak. Looking out for any danger approaching and anything he would need to respond to. Immediately, the mist did not strike him as harmful but he certainly expected something on its heels to address them.</div>

	</div>As the mist enveloped Ciu'nan and Fei, the ground beneath them would fall away to nothing. The physical sensations of their very forms would become void as they would be reduced to separate consciousness floating in the mist.<br>
<br>
The light from the fountain would carry on in the gray haze as the pair, unaware of each other in their present state, would stare as one trying to see through the fog. Though the fog itself was luminous, a light brighter still began to permeate through the veil as the mist parted to reveal a forest. A yellow tint stained the image like aged parchment.<br>
<br>
From their fixed perspective, Ciu'nan and Fei would behold a path leading up to a stone staircase, at the top of which stood a fae of immense stature. Horns like twisted branches sprouted from its head. Flowing robes draped its frame as it stood patiently awaiting those at the foot of the stairs.<br>
<br>
The scene played over and over with the fae waiting at the top of the stairs to receive gifts brought by many different creatures who humbly climbed the steps beneath it. Humans. Beastkin. Elves. Other fae. Each gift graciously received into the massive hands of the esteemed fae. As these scenes played out endlessly, a disembodied voice narrated the scenes with apparent longing.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I was a god to them. Revered by both small and great, mortals from far and near came to honor me. Out of respect. Out of fear. Some seeking a blessing. Others seeking my mercy. All wishing for me to stay, to be content surrounded by the trees that towered in those days. In my naivety, I believed that there was nothing worth venturing beyond the borders of my domain."</span></b><br>
<br>
The scene shifted from the offerings to the fae now standing in a clearing surrounded by woodland creatures.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"The animals did not treat me in the same way as the upright creatures. Their earnest eyes looked to me for affection and preservation in the face of much that would attempt to destroy them. They were...my children, and far more fitting were they to play such a role than the ones who would try to pacify me with their feeble offerings. Being to them a parent, sure in my power and authority, I would spare nothing in preserving the lives put under my charge. To keep their earnest stares and blind trust assured...I would even go to war...."</span></b><br>

A harsh orange tint stained the picture as it blurred and shifted to the skyline of a village consumed in flames.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Those who came from without the forest were far too insecure. Any whisper in their ear could convince them their own bedfellow was a sworn enemy. Though I know not whence it came, one such whisper convinced the powers of the time that I was some evil hellbent on their destruction. They sought to slay me.<br>
"In their confused passion, they never thought--they could not even fathom--that this phenomenon of their own paranoia was known to me...and I weaponized it to great effect. One malevolent whisper caused the armies to turn on each other and ravage the lands without my forest. To see their cities burning was the first occasion that caused me to leave the forest of my dwelling."</span></b><br>
<br>
The fires dimmed as the image shifted to the fae walking amongst ashen ruins. Like the steps before, the image replayed with the fae walking amongst many different ruins.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"There was something in seeing their settlements and kingdoms ruined that greatly pleased me. I was...satisfied that my own power had wrought such destruction of those that would be my enemies. In my pride I took an extended tour of their dessolated countryside. I had not seen their warfare first hand and knew nothing of the tenacity of the upright creatures. By the time I returned to my forest, the same fires and destruction that had consumed my enemies had also consumed my home. I would later learn that a remnant of the warring peoples had rallied together to finally purge themselves of me. Failing to find me, they desecrated my sanctum and scattered or else destroyed my children. This was when I first felt true wrath...."</span></b><br>

	</div>The image of the fae distorted as his form became that of a humanoid tree. The scenery around him shifted to different places all showing creature fleeing from him in terror.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I was wroth with the sentient creatures and sought their destruction. They had spurned any tolerance or benevolence I had for them. When a forest is infected with a blight, there is only one solution: destroy the roots afflicted by it. Though their roots spread far and wide, I believed my anger was sufficient to end the blight manifested by the hands of the humanoids. Their pestilence paled in comparison to the relentless scourge I wrought in those days. Yet...the stars would align against me...."</span></b><br>
<br>
A final shift in the misty vision showed the garden just outside the cave. Barely recognizable, the end of the ravine where the mouth of the cave was stood barren with nothing green growing. The fae stood in front of the cave, seemingly boxed in by a band of warriors led by an individual wielding a strange magic manifested in projections of constellations.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"An individual wielding a magic powered by the celestial bodies above led a band of men against me. Through the mage's powers they succeeded in backing me into the cave that would ultimately become my prison. I would spend countless ages replaying these scenes endlessly..."</span></b></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu, who had once seen a motion picture and had great interest in them, was less taken aback by the scenes before him. Actively he imagined what motion pictures would be like in the future, that they would be like memories shown on a screen. For this experience he maintained the distinct sense that he was an observer in this case and did not feel threatened by this scenery or these memories. Impressed with his own disposition at the sudden all-encompassing stimulation, he began considering the idea that this creature may benefit his own endeavors. Not as a matter of parasitism, but mutual benefit. Much to his relief this chamber is nothing but a prison, not necessarily an artifact to be preserved. As to this creature's intentions, Liu thought carefully about the scenes before him. It seemed like the creature was once similar to the elder creature Masaruma. In this forest, the beings stewarding over creatures surely enjoyed offerings and prostration. A stunning opportunity overall, he reasoned, was this creature's presence here.<br>
<br>
He waited patiently for the scenes to conclude, bracing his arms at the small of his back, eagerly awaiting more information.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>The weightless sensation of being in the fog was bizarre yet familiar to Ciu'nan. She could not place where she had felt such a thing before though. The scenes playing out before her were marvelous and horrific. The fae could not help but pity the one these memories belonged to. Even so, the lengths to which the creature went for vengeance were inexcusable.<br>
<br>
The mists thinned as the memories faded from view. The pair would return to their respective frames feeling somehow heavier than before after experiencing the weightless environment of the memory mist. Before them, the fountain glowed as always, only now bubbles rose up from the depths to disturb the surface. First only a few bubbles, then many, until the whole fountain was churning. Finally up from the depths rose the very figure they had just been viewing.<br>
<br>
Oddly enough, the creature was quite small compared to the likeness they had seen in the memories. The top of his horns stood about four feet off the top of the fountain where he stood. His eyes were closed as he emerged, but now they suddenly opened.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan inched back as the fae stared at her then Fei, then to the surrounding chamber, and finally down at his form.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"So...fate has seen fit to humiliate me in diminishing me during my confinement...."</span></b> He said, his displeasure plain at his current state. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Were it not enough that I was falsely accused and persecuted only to be confined when I sought justice against my enemies?" </span></b>Hopping down from the fountain, his height became more comedically apparent as he only came up to the torso on both of his visitors. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"And who are you? What are you?"</span></b> demanded the half pint as he stared at them quizzically.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan had been lost for words at the...surpisingly cute appearance of the shrunken fae. Biting her lip to keep from smiling or, gods forbid, laughing, she managed to blurt out her name. <b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"I'm...Ciu'nan! Just a humble fae."</span></b><br>
<br>
The elder fae scoffed at her response as he turned to Fei, waiting for an answer.<br>

Fei bowed at the stomach toward this creature. A little embarrassed at his lumpy shape, he shifted on his feet a little, bringing one of his arms around the front and placing it on his stomach to break up the expanse of dark fabric that would otherwise loom over this imprisoned being. He glanced over toward the right at Ciu'nan's somewhat retreated form. Taken again by that unusual stillness, absent of breath and heartbeat and fear, he rose smoothly and inclined his head toward the creature. His tone was even and emanated from his form, the peak of his heavy hood hanging over his face and obscuring his features to normal sight. However, this creature could be fully aware of his condition. His voice's emotion was absent of overt excitement or fear, it was even absent of amusement or pity, only a measured respect and gentleness.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Perhaps I am an opportunity,"</span> he suggested gently, raising his hand. Despite the gravity of his tone, the gesture rose grandly... and then he began shaking his arm roughly, the flapping of fabric emanating just like his voice. After a few rough shakes, making sure to direct all this movement away from the creature, the sleeve around his wrist bulged out and a corner of fabric peeked out of the mouth of it. He reached over and yanked a crumped garment out, deflating his arm greatly. Now the great cloak was hanging around his arm quite unimpressively. He swiftly threw the garment over his shoulder -- it seemed to be a nice tunic of indigo and lace, perfectly urbane after pressing the wrinkles out. He made the sound of a sigh and threw his hood back, revealing his skeletal form. There was obviously not any expression on his face since he was without skin but he tilted his head and began speaking, shaking his other arm rapidly with more muted motions. After a similar sequence of events, he pulled another few crumpled garments from his other sleeve, tossing them over the same shoulder. Perhpas it was obvious before but now it was clear that much of his form was stuffed with fabrics and garmets to give the impression of fullness. The way his cloak rested on his arms when it moved made clear his thinness, one might say bonyness.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"My name is Fei Liu -- Fei is my family name. I have a range of skills including the creation of maps," </span>he glanced sidways at Ciunan -- that is to say his skull turned toward her briefly and then back to the creature,<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "and I am also rather lacking in patronage as it stands," </span>he sighed wistfully, casting another garment over his shoulder  and deflating some portion of his midsection in the process.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>The fae looked at them both, receiving their answers, mulling them over. Both he and Ciu'nan watched as Fei finally revealed himself. Ciu'nan's eyes widened slightly, but she offered him a slightly sad smile. Her thoughts would have to wait as the fae began speaking again, starting with Fei.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"An opportunity, you say? Undead make good menial servants. Tireless warriors that lack the normal fragilities common in the living. These are your most logical uses, yet you come offering maps? You are...odd for an undead."</span></b> The fae then turns to Ciu'nan. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"And you. A 'humble fae', is it? I see your antlers. Your flowery decorum. You claim you are a fae, yet you stand before me wearing an animal skin. Since when do fae kill their own kin?"</span></b> The tone with which the fae spoke became increasingly skeptical and a growing, accusatory tone crept into his voice. Before the pair could begin to defend themselves, he held up a hand, palm facing the pair. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I do not need your lies and excuses. My [Appraisal] will tell me all I need to know."</span></b><br>
<br>
A light shone from the fae's palm as he closed his eyes. Ciu'nan took another step back. The fear she had felt in the presence of that stranger at the ruins crept up from the pit of her stomach as the fae examined her and Fei. After a few moments of quiet meditation, the light faded as the fae opened his eyes.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Hmph, I knew it. Offworlders, the both of you."</span></b> He said as his eyes narrowed.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan tilted her head in confusion.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"O...Offworlders...What--?"</span></b> Ciu'nan began to ask.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Offworlders."</span></b> said the fae. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"It's what we call your kind: spirits that have been sent here from somewhere else by that...meddlesome god. You are not part of this world's natural death and rebirth. You are a disturbance--a life that was never meant to be here."</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan's face twisted in confusion.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Fei inclined his skull toward her, somehow wry despite the lack of expression. Grave though this creature may be, the constant flapping of Liu pulling, let's be frank, stolen clothing out of his person defused some tension for him. He deflated his silhouette further until he was deathly thin and inhumanly tall, around seven feet tall. Thankfully the cloak seemed to reach about that far. Betwen hunching a little and widening his form he was able to mitigate his beanpole build a little. now he stood at his full height, towering a little more over Ciu'nan, although relative to this thing it made little difference. He reached up with his white-gloved hand and adjusted the collar on his cloak as though it irritated him -- a farce, to be sure. For a moment he considered his response since the creature seemed unusually petulant for a great being. This soured his allure -- for some reason he felt, not thought, that divine creatures were mirrors of heavenly organization and restraint with supercognition and deep philosophies. He refrained from laughing but the creature's pedantic grandstanding stunned him with deja vu and relieved him greatly. To be sure it could murder him swiftly at the height of its power and probably even now, but even a normal person with a gun, and now a normal person with a reliable club, could murder him on a whim. Reassured by the creature's mild familiarity, Liu waved off the jargon and imagined himself sighing before cutting through all of the grandisonance. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"And a third was in this very forest," </span>he added, recalling the demon-throated man referencing cultures from his own world out loud, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"though he has since departed, we shared a fire with him. There seems to be an infestation,"</span> he finished, waiting patiently for this creature to reveal its intentions so that he would have something to grapple with. He turned his head toward Ciu'nan again, attempting to squint. She struck him as a local for a few reasons, hearing that she is in the same boat surprised him a little.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><span style="font-size: 18px">|Fae|</span></span>​</div>The fae's squinting gaze widened in surprise and disgust at Fei's commentary. He huffed his displeasure.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)"><b>"There's more of you tainted facades milling about?! In my forest, no less! Oh, this cannot stand. I'll...I'll...!"</b></span> said the fae as his fingers tensed and curled in growing agitation.<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan took a small, tentative, yet indignant, step forward at the fae's claims. Her mouth gaped, seeking to formulate the words that would convince him he was wrong about her nature.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Lord fae, I mean no disrespect, but you must be mistaken. I...I was born here...or rather, awoke here a handful of years ago. My earliest memories are of this world. I know no other."</span></b> insisted she.<br>
<br>
The fae's agitation settled, or perhaps peaked, as its demeanor froze while its gaze snapped to Ciu'nan. Beneath its unsettled surface, a decision had been made.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I'll start with you. Both of you." </span></b>It said menacingly.<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)"> "I will not repeat my mistakes and turn a blind eye while you and your malignant kind play out your fantasies in a world that does not need or want you. I'll end you here."</span></b><br>
<br>
The diminutive fae flicked his wrists to hike his sleeves back up off his hands. Reeling back, he thrust a palm forward, confident that their demise would be swift. And...nothing happened. He waited a moment, peradventure the spell was delayed in coming forth. Another moment passed in tense but uneventful silence. Finally, the fae relaxed, straightening as he stared at his palm.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Will the insults never cease? Imprisoned for countless ages to have not only the height of my glory diminished, but now I find that my power has been reduced to almost nothing?"</span></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

	</div>The fae turned away and began to pace in frustration. His hands wringed one another as he pondered his predicament. He began to mutter to himself as he organized a plan.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I'll have to reclaim my power...Yes...The obelisks then, assuming they still stand. How much time has passed, I wonder...Would anyone still know their significance? Or how to use them? No matter...I should start immediately then...however...."</span></b> His attention turned back to his guests. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I can't just leave you two, knowing that I have been freed. They will have set up watchers, surely, though they may not even remember what they watch for....Then I will settle this now."</span></b><br>
<br>
The fae approaches the pair, turning from one to the other. He was sizing them up.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"I will take only one of you, but to decide, let's play a game, shall we? Let's see which one of you is more stable: the dead man or the false fae?"</span></b><br>
<br>
Suddenly, the fae lifted into the air, while the train of his robe stretched to the ground becoming transparent. He flew over top of the pair as his train washed over and passed through them. They would experience a montage of memories concerning their former life. The good. The bad. The worst. Moments of time with high emotional impact, perhaps even trauma.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu was shunted with little warning into his own memories. The sun shone brightly from the east, lifting the hard packed dry soil from its gloaming smear, from this high vantage point the clear blue sky buzzed with haze and scrubby dark bushes clutched sharp rocks carved by wind and time, forming a maze of cover for the enemy's advance. He stood glaring at the distance with sweat pooling at his neck from the humidity, but not out of nerves. He stood on the hard ground with his boots planted shoulder length apart and his arms clasped behind his back, standing tall. He much preferred this hard packed ground to the muddy slurry he had to trudge through in the south. Sure, they have that land now, but that means they have to climb uphill when the hills' defenders have solid footing now, no trenchfoot and no flies to shoo away, firm steps to carve through the fiends in the distance. He didn't even blink when the artillery behind him began thundering their protest -- he was far too close even with ear protection and his ears rang, but he wished to see the destruction for himself. Death, ardence, desperation, loss and triumph, explosions and industrial savagery all played back once again. These memories of his were not new to him, as they would be to Ciu'nan. Distracting though it may be, the feeling is familiar. He knows his story; it seemes for most of his life he has had the luxury of knowing what he was doing and why he was doing it, at least up until the end. He doesn't suffer when he falls into reliving it in the depths of the night, while all of his biological companions are resting. His only anguish is that now it is harder to find that steadfast ground to stand on, and there is nobody to stand by.<br>
<br>
It took him mere seconds adapt to the effect. This thing posed some kind of challenge to them. Fei considered for a moment -- he rather liked this creature in a way it would never like him. The way he referred to them with such disdain, threw his weight around with such little efficacy or care, connived out loud and displays a staggering level of self absorption. Liu mused for another few moments -- this creature struck him as some kind of maniacal cat and couldn't trust that it wouldn't just discard him after finishing with its needs, but he was also sure some kind of contract could be etched out in magic. This creature is indeed not his style, but on the other hand, would Ciu'nan benefit in the long run from being burdened by its caprices and malcontent? Purported malice, Liu reasoned, seemed to be the only thing he and the creature share. It possessed such hatred and frustration, not that Liu blames it, that he wished to give the poor thing a hug.  Would he steal from Ciu'nan her chance at success? Would he shield her from this thing's hateful rampage? He was certain that he could emotionally handle any nonsense the creature had for him, after all, he made it through training already. The sheer disdain it holds toward him mirrors the attitudes a fair few of his superiors in his past life. No, he could surely do better. <br>
<br>
The problem is, so can Ciu'nan. <br>
<br>
He watched for a moment to see how she would react while he faced true ambivalence.</div>

As his train passed over her, she was taken from that chamber in the grotto to another place entirely. In moments, she would experience a series of moments from the former life she never knew she had.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">My name was Dyani. I lived with a tribe of native people in those days. It was customary for women to learn homemaking skills, but, oh, how my heart yearned to wander the forest. Despite what was seen as a peculiarity, there was one young man whose favor I found...and he mine.</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><b>A war broke out between my people and strangers in the land. They came with weapons far superior to our own. My beloved would die protecting me...but they were in vain.<br>
<br>
One of the strangers took a liking to me, but he knew nothing of swearing oneself to his partner. He took me and demanded my affections, punishing me severely when I denied him. I learned to just let him have his way. Somehow...even though he struck me less...it hurt all the more....<br>
<br>
In this manner I would bear him three children. He named them, of course. I was forbidden. Even so, I still know the names I had picked out for them: my two boys, Citana, Jacy, and my youngest, a girl, Elu. Occasionally, I would use them when that man wasn't around.</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I suffered much at the hands of my captor, but his wrath seemed to wane some once the children came. I took on another use for him then: caretaker. He would involve the boys in his hunting, but only because raising his own hunting party was lucrative for him. Everything he did--from taking me, to forcing me to bear his children, and now teaching his children how to hunt--was only out of self-interest.</span></b><br>

	</div><b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">I learned far too late that he was plotting a far more sinister use for our children. He decided to take us on a trip one day. Claimed he wanted to do something nice for us. I should have known right then that he was scheming something, but I was much to naive. Even after all the abuse I suffered from this man, I wanted to believe that maybe he would change.</span></b><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)"><b>We went out to a lesser mountain. He said the area was plenty safe, but even then I knew that the area was still wild. I questioned him about it, but that's exactly what he wanted. He was much too happy, smug really, when he said, he'd take the boys and scout out the area. When he revealed he had brought weapons, he silenced my protests by saying that he knew this was exactly how I'd respond. It was all a setup.</b></span><br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">About a half hour later, I would hear fast approaching screams followed by the most horrible roar I'd ever heard. That fool of a man had brought all of us out to this very mountain to hunt a bear, whose pelt and fame from killing it would have made him very comfortable for a long while. I and my children were all bait, and it was bait we became.</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan stood still, staring wide-eyed at the vision she had been granted by the fae's magic. Tears streamed down her face with each new revelation of her past. At the climax, her back arched as she relived the bear tearing into her. She would drop to her knees gasping for breath as the vision receded.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"My children...."</span></b> she gasped.<br>
<br>
She sobbed as her face bowed to the stone floor. The fae stood nearby, watching. Ciu'nan's shoulders shuddered with her profuse weeping. The fae clicked his tongue.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"There. You see?"</span></b> he said to no one in particular. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"Offworlders are often weak. These new lives are their way of escap--"</span></b><br>
<br>
The fae was interrupted as Ciu'nan's weeping suddenly turned to laughing. He looked with renewed interest as Ciu'nan slowly sat back up, her laughing becoming more maniacal by the second. Tears still streamed down her face as her mouth opened in an agonized grin. As she begins to stand, the fae begins to approach. Ciu'nan sweeps with her spear, tightly gripped in her hand.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(147, 101, 184)">"Don't you see? I can still save them from that bear. I can save them...I can...."</span></b><br>
<br>
Ciu'nan bursts into an unsettling fit of laughter as she disappears. The fae looks around as her laughter continues to echo throughout the grotto. Then the ripples appeared. Starting from where she had been standing, spectral ripples appeared, dotting a path out of the grotto. A faint jingling could be heard at the spawning of each ripple. The fae stared for a moment before shifting his gaze to Fei.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"You're, uh...you're alright then? Gonna hold it together a bit better than her?"</span></b> he asked uncertainly.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Liu leaned away from the outburst, at first a little worried for her. However, quickly that worry evaporated when she became hopping mad. He reached up to scratch the back of his head out of habit. Once she reached that point he promptly gave up on her. He's seen it before, a few times. He's done his time at the burn piles, at the mass graves, stepping carefully through ruined, smouldering villages where filthy mothers clutched their dead children and people swayed back and forth like hungry ghosts, their minds sundered by the shockwave of some errant shell. He wasn't sure whether to wish for her speedy recovery or to hope she never snaps out of, joyous as she is. He turned back to the little wretch and let out the sound of a sigh. The skeleton crossed his arms sternly and shook his head faintly. Somehow a skeleton frowned that day, disappointment dripping from his posture. A little bit ago he was as sturdy as a stone standing equally on two feet but now he shifted his weight over onto the other foot and his hip jutted out a little, a casual position. A moment passed while he stared with his vacuous sockets at the fey lord until he broke the silence.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Is your tantrum finished, <i>my lord?</i>"</span> he snarked, looking down the ridge of his missing nose at this creature.</div>

	</div>The dull hissing of the rain outside crept into the lone chamber of the grotto in the wake of the last echoing laugh from Ciu'nan. The fae god did not stop her from leaving. His focus was on the one who remained. His eyes took on a critical look as he eyed the undead towering over him. The fae did not react when Fei taunted him, simply allowing the silence to hang in the air like the humidity created by the rain. Finally, a smile slowly crept along his face.<br>

<b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"You never know what your fate will be when drawing straws,"</span></b> said the fae thoughtfully as his gaze lingered on the featureless skull staring at him, <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"but whatever fate brought us together must have humor indeed."</span></b> A satisfied chuckle escaped him as his demeanor soften somewhat. <b><span style="color: rgb(191, 207, 91)">"You are a mapmaker, then? Show me your craft! Let me see how the land has changed in my long slumber...."</span></b><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><u>Conclusion</u></b><br>
The nameless god aligns himself with Fei for the time being. After reviewing what Fei had mapped out, they would depart from the grotto. The god took particular interest in the ruins they had stayed at the previous night.<br>
Sometime after the god departs with Fei, a massive bird flies over the garden outside the grotto. There is a rider on its back that looks at the slaughtered deer and destroyed briar bush with great distress. Urging her bird, she quickly flies off into the downpour that was finally coming to an end.<br>
Ciu'nan is long gone, destination unknown.​</div></div>

Welp that was long. Felt like the definitive fantasy adventure. The ending was a hard left, but the rest was quite a ride. None of the rp'ers involved have the standing to establish living gods, so assume the powerful entities encountered were a dream or merely beings just a grade or so stronger than the rp's participants. I encourage breaking up rp's like this into parts. There were at least 3 distinct parts to the rp where a chapter break may have been appropriate and easy to do. <br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath</b><br>
Fei Liu eventually parts ways with the powerful Fae assuming he actually met the Fae at all. Perhaps it was all a waking dream?<br>
(fae can persist if Fei Liu makes him into a companion with points)<br>
Those waiting on Ciu'nan's report would not receive one, but that's to be expected from Fae<br>
<br>
<b>Rewards</b><br>
<br>
<br>
Ciu'nan - 105 points (narration included)<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">optional title acquired [Flaky] - character was tasked with a job and failed to deliver. Character gives off an air of unpredictability and unreliability. Character is less likely to be tasked with someone's requests and little trust or grace will be extended if a job actually is taken. However, it is easy to live up to low expectations.</li>
</ul>Fei Liu - 105 points<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">optional title acquired [Unbroken] - Your time and experiences have hardened you, even in your worst state, you remain yourself even under stressful duress. Character has an easier time living with their choices and past or present experiences.</li>
</ul><b>Partial Participants</b><br>
<br>
Haruki - 26pts<br>
Wonton - 18pts<br>
Tia - 39pts</div>
