Aegle's Wanderings 2#

June 9, Wednesday
Rain has always brought back bad memories for me. Actually nearly ever weather condition reminds me of something I wish would have never happen...
I wake up in the down pour and watch as deer young and old scatter for cover to avoid getting drenched. I, on the other hand, was already completely soaked. And so I walked aimlessly about unlike them. After some time a approached the fogged in ruins. The water hit the ancient stones with such force it created a mist about the area. There were a few deer here who were seeking refuge from the rain. There was Wesker watching carefully over his beloved Kaoori as she slept. There was also a doe with gray fur and long pointed feather antlers. She concealed her face with a deer mask and lay beneath the arches which fenced in the graveyard. I actually thought she was sleeping for a long while until she suddenly ran off into the woods. I lay down in between the graves, my body sloshed in the mud with every breathe. The atmosphere was so relaxing, the dark sky, misty ruins, and constant pitter-patter of rain. Yet still, dark memories lurked in my mind.

I listened calmly to the new calls of the forest, there were so many new deer. A young fawn called off in the distance and his cry was drowned by the rain. Everything was drowned by the rain, from the cheery attitude of the deer to the glistening grass and trees. It seemed everything was made solemn by its presence.

I stood up covered in mud. I looked completely atrocious. The rain could not even remove the mud from my pelt, but it was the least of my worries. I got up and ran towards a large crowd I could hear faintly off in the distance. By the time I arrived they all seemed to have dispersed to a covered area, so I returned to resting near the pond.

I lay there, nothing interesting was happening. My eyes found nothing to focus on and they stared off. My cold wet hair clung to my face and my water fell down my mask. And it was then I realized that some things may bring back bad memories, but its never to late to replace them to good ones...
