~+~*the color of the mark on her head began to grow lighter as she managed a weak smile. the small pendant around her neck started to glow as the people around her brought her back to a decent sense of self-apreciation. the gash on her leg healed visibly, which was a bit disgusting, and she seemed to look better in general a few moments later. she climbed away from Dark, and stood by herself, making sure that she was alright. she turned back to the people around her, and managed another smile. the mark on her head was now white, and the pendant was no longer glowing. you had not known that she could heaal herself- or perhaps she had not.*~+~
thank you for your kind words.... but they do not change a whole lot. i have failed in my duty, and thus will be banned if i return to my colony.
~+~*she pointed back to the forest.*~+~
its a few days travel in that direction.... we were attacked by creatures with eyes that were odd colored.... some were yellow, but most were violet or purple....
~+~*she sighed.*~+~
the elders told me that long ago, we came from a place far away, and out ancestors fled here to escape a war.
~+~*she sat down, still tired from her aparently very long trip here.*~+~
ill tell you the story that they told me.... that a great war broke out in 4 linked worlds, during the creation of a new one. to escape the certian death, our ancestors fled by traveling the chains in the Dragon Realm. they landed here, on this world, which was new and booming with life at the time. they lived there in peace, until one day, a spirit of the world appeared before them. she said that if they wanted to live on her land, that they must protect the sacred valley. they agreed, and each gained a mark upon their heads.
~+~*she lifted her bangs, showing the star-arrow through the crescent moon.*~+~
there were 12 marks in all, each representing something special.... the Arrow, representing power, was placed upon those who would fight to protect the colony. the Star, representing beauty, was placed upon those who would live long and healthy to become elders. the Paw, representing friendship, was given to those who would speak to the spirits. the Pyramid, representing complexity, was given to those destined to become wise men. the Flower, representing earth, was gifted to the prophets. the Crescent Moon, a sign of magic, was given to those who would learn magic. the Hoop, representing eternity, was given to those who would become legends. the Wave, a sign of movement, was gifted to those who would someday see all of the worlds. the Wings, representing angels, were given to leaders. the Full Moon, representing the unknown, was gifted to those who would work their crafts inside the colony to produce for others. the Chain, a sign of bonding, was given to those who would raise strong families. and Nothing, representing nothing, was a man with no purpose. over the genmerations, the marks began to vanish or combine with others to form new ones. the spirits were displeased- so she placed upon them a curse. when one was angered or depressed, their mark would grow darker. if it reached the color black, the dark spirits would rise. if the person had a good reason, those spirits would avenge them. if not, the spirits returned with them to the under worlds. so the people began to take vows to keep the colony safe. and thus began our existance as we now know it.
~+~*she sighed again, and drew a star in the dirt.*~+~
we are even forbidden to use our wings. so we dont fly often if we know how. i wish i did, it would have made my vows easier to uphold.... i am called Advion, by the way. it comes from our 3 words for the signs on my head. Adelia, the Crescent moon; Videna, the Arrow; and Onuah, the Star.
~+~*she went into deep thought for a moment. then looked up.*~+~
i must wonder how long this is going to last....
