She nodded, all humans were

She nodded, all humans were connected in some way, even the outsiders. What the unicorn didn't realize was that every one of them were fools, even the greatest wise man had a fatal flaw, something that didn't work. "You should see how humans from different cultures interact for the first time, how each stumble, how neither one of them understands anything about the other side at first. They need to almost learn how to walk again, learn to see in a different way, need to relearn everything. They all feel like fools, all of them. And Humans are all part of the same species, not different species. Only young children can bridge that kind of distance effortlessly."

There really weren't any ways to completely put everything into words, humans studied cultures for their entire short lives and still did not know how to. The doe curled up, slid her cheek across the stone until the tip of one horn grazed it. "I have never belonged here." Silence gathered around them. "I lost the possibility to belong anywhere when I fell, maybe before that. But I'm still here, I don't understand much about this....place." Her words trailed of in their similarity, they had more in common then she thought. She felt threatened somehow, this was to close to before. Too close to feel safe anymore. "I can go places, anywhere really. Just not back. Never back, never home. We both have here right here now, right now. Even if this isn't home."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

He watched her curl up with a bit of sadness. He thought she was different though, that she understood it better than he did...but then again, he had never really asked, had he? What she said about the humans gave him the slightest hope that...he could be understood and that he could understand, though. There was a chance. He was closer to deer than the horse unicorns were...that...had to count for something right? Plus they both spoke the same language. That had to make it easier somehow. Someway. Instead of asking the more obvious question of if she trusted him or not- that was something up for debate- he went a different route. Avoiding talking about it altogether. He felt closer to Lilith than he did most anyone else, but distant all at the same time. Like he was only as close as she would allow him to be. It was just another thing that confused him...

"Did you ever find a way to the ocean...?" he spoke up after a few moments, seemingly out of the blue. He wanted to ask if she trusted him...why it didn't run both ways if he could open up to her, yet she was closing herself off to him. Then again...he'd probably hurt her somehow...he was good at that. Instead of all that he just tried to change the subject.

(Oh Reate we love you! Lil is

(Oh Reate we love you! Lil is just a fuss-bucket about trusting, she'll get over it. This song just reminded me of this rp for some reason )

Her eyes closed and she relaxed, eased her muscles, just concentrated on breathing. Each in and out breath brought a calmness that had evaded the old one for a long time. This place wasn't a home but at times like this it almost felt like she belonged. The feeling would fade away certainly but right now she finally felt settled. The rocks must have lent her their sense of what happened around them, they would be slowly worn away and yet they welcomed it because they had eternity.

And Reate was safe, Achilles and his children were safe, Aurik and his little ones were safe. All safe, all on their way to being sound. That made all the difference in the world. Her eyes opened again, a soft hum started its way out of her mouth. A stretch of the legs and like some stiff flower she unfurled. Lilith smiled, a rarity for her. She raised her head up and dipped it behind the boulder, a few seconds later a large sea shell was flipped at the unicorn. "Yes."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

(That's a beautiful song; I

(That's a beautiful song; I can see the connection haha.)


Reate hadn't expected the shell in the least. Surprised his head jerked back, ears pining back until he recognized the object that came to rest near him to be nothing more than a harmless seashell. He reached out to poke it with his nose, only to tap it with the horn on his forehead. A weak smile flickered on his muzzle, a question of whether or not she would show him crossing his mind, only to have it shatter when he glanced at all the wounds on his hooves and legs. Well then. He couldn't go, now could he? Not unless Lilith felt like...carrying him, or traveling at the pace of his hobbling. Neither of which he would dream of asking of her. His tail wrapped around to gently push the shell back toward her.

"I would love to see it some day," he stated softly.

"So would I." The shell was pushed back to him, it was a gift.

"Only went far enough to see if the path continued, still pretty far up in the mountains honestly. That shell was from my old hoard." He thought that she would leave without him, made clear by the look on his face. One of her eyebrows raised into a curve, the very idea seemed almost humorous to her. A promise was a promise. "It wouldn't be right to finally go without you. I can wait, that path won't be going anywhere." She heaved herself up, grumbling as her joints popped and came closer.

"In the meantime we should do something about those cuts, looks like you ransacked a China shop."

He watched the shell get

He watched the shell get pushed back to him, though his gaze traveled up to stare at her as she spoke. He realized in that moment that he was stuck. He wanted to see the ocean, but he had to be alive to go see it. He had to accept help. Reate tried to curl up in a ball as she came closer, either in defense of whatever she was about to do or a stubborn refusal of help.

"I don't know what that is." He muttered to her last statement. Part of him wanted to just stand and start walking, to take however long it took for him to get to whatever path she spoke of. It would hurt, he might not make it all the way there but it didn't really seem to bother him. He'd get what he deserved.

Checkmate. Smugness welled up

Checkmate. Smugness welled up though her expression did not falter, if he really wished to go he would have to do something to help himself. She watched him curl up like a dried up pill bug and shook her large head. This would be difficult.

"A place that sells china, plates, cups, saucers, that kind of thing. Made out of glass, porcelain and perhaps...marble? The humans have a rather odd saying that some individuals were 'like bulls in a china shop'. Essentially means that person is or is acting clumsily, aggressively, without care or concern, without self-control. No idea how on earth they knew how a bull would act in a china shop....makes me wonder if it actually happened. Humans are indeed strange creatures."

Hopefully her ramble would distract him long enough for her to figure out what to do about his condition. She had an idea but wasn't sure if it would work, her method for fixing things like this was usually to wait it out and suffer through it. That probably wouldn't work with Reate.
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.
Waning-Sun's picture

He listened to her ramble

He listened to her ramble with a vague recognition of the objects she talked about. Or, rather the materials. Glass. Had he seen porcelain? Possibly. He had seen glass. He liked glass...or at least thought it was amusing to some extent. Humans didn't though, they were used to it. But it shattered easily, cut easily...like knives and swords. It made him wonder why humans bothered to use something so easily breakable as vessels. Plates...saucers...those were flat things, weren't they? Flat things that humans put food on to carry and to eat from...

"I have a history of acting rash. It is one of the many things I cannot handle about myself." he murmured in a low voice that was only muffled more by him trying to hide his face in the fluff of his tail. The reason he got the wounds in the first place flared up in his mind and he tried to shut himself farther away by closing his eyes to the doe. If only it was possible to flee from one's self...but it was like running from a shadow; impossible.

She came to a stop right

She came to a stop right beside him, head lowered until her lips just touched the fur of his back. The same pose she'd taken explaining death to Leo for the first time. Her crude phrasing had made this worse, this was the reason she often stayed silent.

"People often forget that a needle may hold a thread." Her breath stirred his cream fur like wheat in the wind. "What makes holes can also sew up gaps. We all learn, change, make mistakes but forget that we posses the ability to make things as right as they can be. Whatever got you into this mess there is a possibility that you can change it, that you can fix it."

Reate remained still as she

Reate remained still as she spoke, one ear turned toward her to listen. He knew she was right. He knew he might be able to fix it. At least...make it less terrible than it already was. But at the same time, he didn't want to. It wouldn't change anything in the scheme of things.

"...I know you are right," he muttered back into the silence left by her words, "...I just don't see a point in trying. Nothing will change."

"A great human leader once

"A great human leader once said that the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here. He spoke truly, in comparison to the universe we do not matter. What is said and done between us are of no consequence and the universe will not change."

Or so she believed anyway, what did eternity care for every little soul lost? How many soap bubbles popped before it ended? It didn't. All long lived things ended up caring about the only thing that remained, themselves.

"And yet, 149 years later people still remember what that man said. He changed the course of human history for the better. If you do not try you will never know what you might improve, what you may change. The grand scheme of things simply does not exist, there is no pattern unless you make it. Not knowing what might have been will haunt you, I learned that lesson much too late."

Reate found his frustrations

Reate found his frustrations only increase at her words. He knew it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. He knew nothing was worth getting as upset over as he had. And yet, if he wasn't supposed to get upset over anything at all, was he just supposed to sit back and allow the world to push him around, take advantage of his calm? No. He didn't want that either.

"I'm afraid that I'm not making much sense anymore....mmm. I always swore that I would never end up like the old ones, spewing riddles to every question and piece of advice."
A tongue click of annoyance. "And now look at me, I apologize."

All those years determined to be as far from those stagnant beings and now she was acting like them. Or talking like them at least, the thought disturbed her for those age old creatures were always close to ending themselves. Change was inevitable.

Rather just suffer through what I deserve. She understood that sentiment, it had been a philosophy of her childhood and basically after that. Asking people for help only gave them more opportunities to harm you and displayed your weaknesses. "I understand but I will be extremely useless if those cuts become infected. At least let me clean-sterilize them, nothing else but that."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

"Ordinarily I would try and stitch the bigger cuts....but using my mouth would be clumsy. I miss my hands." She squinted at the patch of dried sap on her shoulder considering options. What had that demon said? Prevent infection.

It was worth a try wasn't it? "I must hunt down some supplies, I'll be back." She tapped the water jug with a hoof. "For now you can either use this to clean out some cuts or drink it. Try to get some of that glass out as well."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.

Reate watched her walk off

Reate watched her walk off before making a face at the water jug. It was the only bit of retaliation he gave though as he wordlessly set to licking the glass out of his wounds. He pulled out whatever shards he could, some of it cutting up his tongue in the process. Other than the occasional wince and coughing on the blood that dribbled down the sides of his mouth he ignored the pain the best he could. The deeper wounds he had to dig the glass out with his nose horn- which left him a bloody mess for Lilith to come back to. He knocked over the water jug a second time in a vain attempt to wash the blood away, but he didn't think through that the water would cover him as well. Giving an annoyed huff at suddenly becoming covered in water, he stood and painfully meandered a few feet away to plop down again, setting to work to try to groom his belly and chest fluff dry again.

(Dang, super long late post. Sorry it took me so long)

Hopefully it was the tree sap and not the demon spit that sealed out infection. She sincerely doubted that she could either track down the demon and convince it to spit on the unicorn or that Reate would comply to such a scheme. How to get the tree sap would be tricky, she knew that uprooting a tree and draining it would violate the peace that had been negotiated with this place. If only her elemental communications weren't rusty.....it was doubtful she could speak to the normal trees here so that left the old oak.

And so the doe collected the needed supplies from her ruin lair and made her way there. Leaning against the oak she closed her eyes and reached out. This act hurt much more then it would have before the fall, it seemed that her powers had been leaching out ever since then. The humming of the oak changed its tenor, building and falling like ocean waves. It was one of the most unusual conversations that she had ever had, if you could call it a conversation. The tree brought up bird's eye views of various scenes, Lilith and Nilo snuggling, Lilith with various others accompanied by different hums. Finally a hole opened in the oak's bark and sap flowed into the pot the doe had brought. She drew away feeling exhausted and drained but happy and she journeyed back to Reate.

He wasn't at the rock circle. It took a few minutes before the thought of looking around came to her and sure enough there he was. Soaking wet. "Mmmmm?" Her mouth carried the sap pot so whatever she said was reduced to a nonsensical mumble.
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.
Waning-Sun's picture

At her mumble the stag lifted

At her mumble the stag lifted his head, looking from her then back over his shoulder at the tipped over jug, muddy ground and blood. There was still a good amount of blood on his fur, which he went back to licking away.
"It...fell over." He mumbled sheepishly, "Tried to wash blood away, didn't get very far. What is that?" Reate questioned without looking up from a rather ragged looking wound on his right hind leg. It was one of the lacerations he had to dig a glass shard out of.

She nodded, trying to convey

She nodded, trying to convey that it was alright before realizing putting down the bucket would free her mouth. She set it down swaying very slightly. "That doesn't look very good...are there any pieces left you need me to get out?" A slight grimace crept over her face thinking about what the other might be feeling. "This is tree sap, I heard that it prevents infection and it should seal even the worst of those up well."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.
Waning-Sun's picture

Reate shook his head, turning

Reate shook his head, turning his attention to the bucket to poke it with his nose. "I think I got all of it out..." he frowned at that, glancing down at the numerous wounds in thought. Frankly he wouldn't know the difference if he missed a bit of glass. Everything hurt, stung even worse in the spots he had to dig the glass shards out of. He sighed slightly, his breath shaking a little bit- one of the few noticeable signs that he was hurting. "I've never heard of tree sap being used on wounds before..."

"I'm sorry that I can't do

"I'm sorry that I can't do more, I should have learned more healing." It was hard seeing him like this, much more so that he'd done this to himself. Whatever happened was probably no one's fault too. She turned her shoulder so he could see the dried sap on her shoulder. "Learned it from a rather odd acquaintance recently." She paused before picking up the bucket again. "This will sting at first...I am sorry." The doe poured the sap as evenly as possible over the many cuts, wincing at the deeper ones. This worried her more then the unicorn would probably ever know. The job was approached carefully and thoroughly, pains were taking to patch everything up as best as possible. The sap bucket was nearly drained by the time she finished.

"I think I got them all covered." Her voice softer then usual, she pushed a few herbs towards him. "Chamomile, cinquefoil, rosemary and wintergreen. These should help with the pain and a few other things."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.
Waning-Sun's picture

Reate was already trying to

Reate was already trying to form walls around his mind to protect himself from the pain, closing his eyes and keeping himself as limp as possible so Lilith could move him around as needed. Nothing could prepare him for the agony of all of his wounds smarting at once. He didn't complain, didn't thrash or let himself snap at her. If anything at all he appeared unconscious or dead, only stirring enough to open his pain-dull eyes to see her pushing a bundle of herbs toward him. Reate tried to stand to reach the bundle, but he collapsed before he could even get half his weight off the ground. Trying a couple of more times resulted in the same thing- his legs simply couldn't support him. Wordlessly, he tried to swipe them closer with his tail and managed to eat at least a small amount of the herbs.

"...Thank you..."

The only way she could think

The only way she could think of to stop him from moving would be sitting on him and that would defeat the purpose of having the unicorn stay still. With hands it would be a simple thing to stop someone from moving but she did not have hands. Several frantic half starts were made as the unicorn tried rising.

When he finally quit trying she placed her head on a uninjured spot, just enough pressure to discourage another attempt. "Easy, don't move. Let the sap set, stay still. Just breathe, concentrate on breathing." She lifted her head only long enough to bring the herbs much closer. "Wait awhile before trying to move."
Oh, I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in this world.
Waning-Sun's picture

The kirin mutt nodded at her

The kirin mutt nodded at her words, ears drooping as he closed his eyes again. He ignored what was left of the herbs to somewhat focus on the pain as much as he was focusing on breathing through it. What if he couldn't walk anymore? Well... that would be rather upsetting and counterproductive with making his way to the ocean. Maybe he should consider that for the next time he found himself about to do something really stupid. Possibly.

The old one curled up next to him, not touching but hopefully close enough to provide some warmth. Using magic had drained a lot more energy then it was supposed to and Reate's condition had drained more energy. She thought that they were both ready to sleep for awhile now, she'd sleep with both ears open. "I'll be around for the next week or so, if you need anything just shout and I'll come." Lilith closed her eyes. "It's time for both of us to rest."

(Well that was dramatic, poor Reate. The next adventure should make him a lot happier.)

I'm hoping he'll at least calm down a little bit. He wants to see the water, so it should at least make him a little bit better. I don't see him really improving when he comes back from that though-at least what he's telling me at the moment. Hoping it changes.

Thank you for the RP, though!

Snow. How long ago had it

Snow. How long ago had it been since she'd seen weather like this? More than a week or more than a month anyway. Many things had happened in the time between then and now, the little ones were grown up, Tea was gone, Reate had returned. A puff of white breath stained the air around her mouth and dispersed into the cold air. Memories danced around the vapors, Nilo with his blanket, candles in the old oak, resting among tombstones. Red eyes turn towards the skyline, narrowing against the whirls of snow and a smile slides around her face. So much has happened, she remembers sitting alone on the stone circle in the guise of a dove on the last snow day.

And now, as always these days, she finds herself back again. Those four stones that she's haunted whenever their owner wasn't to be found. No matter where she goes this place will always draw her back. Stepping slow, daintily setting each hoof down after another, joints stiffer in the cool weather. Home. This was where she belonged. Yet the snow has always reminded her of ashes and burning places, bittersweet memories under her tongue. A fresh start.

The old one can see that he's been here recently, the smooth shape where his body heat melted the snow. But the circle is empty. The smile flickers and fades for a moment before coming back. Here's to hoping for a future for the unicorn, finding reasons to stay here. A brief round about the rocks and she settles in the middle. Chin resting on the biggest stone, feeling the residual warmth seep into her fur. Who knows? Maybe one day he'll have a family of his own, maybe she'd get a chance to play with his grandchildren in her time here. For once the future seems empty, empty and free.

The old one came again today.

The old one came again today. Traced the lines of each stone and lay among them for a time. Then she left. This time there is something different, the wind curls the edge of a battered paper tucked under the small figure of a crystal unicorn. A small halo of rainbow light showers the paper in the dying light. I

t's a note, a gift.

Lined with shaky letters, creased a hundred times, stained by dirt and flower petals but the words still ring true:

"I went searching. Although....is that really the word to use when you don't know what you are looking for? It was nothing. A wayward desire for something I could never keep, could never hold longer than a moment before destroying it. Beyond useless, futile flutterings of a desperate butterfly against a maelstrom gale. Like looking for water in a desert or searching for truth in a mirror, getting blood from a stone. Impossible.

I've spent these years watching every single light I have guttering out into darkness, thousands upon thousands of memories ending with a grief so heartbreaking it feels as if you are cracking into pieces. Have I grown used to it? Yes. Does that stop the useless longing? No. It never does. Every footstep, every breath and every heartbeat longs for that feeling again. Every day I wish that I could change and every day I know that I can't. Still...I tried. I tried to find you. Searched from sundown to sunup for months, for days. Sometimes it felt like years. Every place you have ever been, where we have laughed or cried in the few months that I knew you. Traveled the human world, went to places you had never been, trying, praying that I would find some kind of a link. I found none.

Why would I? I do not know where you have gone, no one has ever told me, least of all you. Why? I would not have known how to find you anyway. Directions have never been a strong point. We never saw that ocean. Never went to the sea, never talked of the thoughts weighing heavy on my mind. I trust you. It took so long for me to realize that. And then...by that time you were already gone. Like so many others. I do not blame you.

I have done the same.

Left when I said I wouldn't, lied to the faces around me. I told them I was tired, not that I was dead inside, not that I always had been. I still look for you. Amber and orange, fresh pears, golden honey, the wind on the grasses. Everything still hurts. I assume that you have moved onto another life, another place. Perhaps for the better but just as likely for the worse. For your sake, and mine, I hope for the better. I still find myself in the circle you left behind.....it seems safer there. Quieter. Sometimes I think that I can feel your presence there, irrational I know. I can't even smell you here anymore. Sometimes I wonder if you even lived in this world, in this dimension, maybe you never existed. No, I know you did. In some way or some form you where here.

I am still searching.

I cannot stop.

The behemoth has finally left her letter. Now time and the forces of nature get to decide what happens to her words.
