A Tale of Deep thought...
The Story
Hmm, nothing of interest here."
The girl kissed her teeth, folding her arms over her chest. Here, in the farest part of Terror Mountain, she took residence. Her fur a deep red to match her persona, fierce and searching. Her eyes a light violet, piercing the strongest of guises. She was a maverick of sorts, a young Wocky having set out on her own from her family, she found Terror Mountain to be suitable to her. A small hut from her current location was her home she began to make her way back, slowly, taking in the scenery. Her hair in tight ringlets hung from her head, her bangs covering her eye, a small mole to the left side of her face. She was the joy of many young girls, the bitterness of many old women. She was an enchantress, practicing her craft. Yes, Terror Mountain was just the place to carry out such an act.
Soon at her home, she found a note tacked to the door. The handwriting, hardly legible, but she could make it out just the same,
Lady Itoshika, I beg of your assistance, recently there has been a beast of sorts pillaging our fair village at night. Last night the townsmen had encountered it but, natural means did not thwart the creature. We fear it may be some supernatural being. Please, a necromancer of your caliber must know something. If you may, come to the Apothecary in Saėdy village. Thank you
Sincerely,
Mayor Jien.
Bah! How tiresome. But still, this "beast" may just be what I'm looking for." With that, she quickly entered the hut, gathering her cloak and spells book, large in size, bound with enchanted Draik scales.
The trek to Sady Village would be a long one, I had better prepare myself.
A quick glance to the mantle that held a slightly aged photo calmed her.
Wait for me…" And with that she was off. The wind had picked up greatly, snow bustling about, obscuring her vision. This wouldn't be easy, but she had managed up until now. Why would anything be different?
Cani toul die!", she cried a shield wrapped itself around her, protecting her from the sharp winds. The path of years traversed laid itself before her. Winding and no doubt dangerous, she had only gone so far as Weill village, Saėdy was much out of the way and further than she need ever go, but she must. Despite her slight disapproval to help those around her, it was what…she would have wanted.
An icy chill ran through the Wocky
I mustn't falter." The winds howled, as if screaming her name, urging her to go back, but she pressed on, the path narrowed greatly. The mountains loomed overhead arching in, surrounding her. A soft growling could be heard, the winds slowly died and a silence pierced the mountains.
She paused, listening hard on her surrounds, again the growling ensued, a sudden rush behind her, quickly she turned.
I know you're there, you can drop the stealth act. It's boring me."
From behind a withered shrub a child Lupe pounced, rushing toward her. Stopped mid charge, by one single finger. He thrashed in rage.
Ah! Let me go! Move your hand."
And if I do? You'll fall flat on your face, providing even more entertainment for me."
Raa~!"
Fine, have it your way" Quickly moving her hand she sidestepped, tripping the poor youth in the action.
You think you're so tough, just because you're a little bigger than me! Well you're not!" Tears welled in his eyes, a emerald sea, slowly engulfing her. He couldn't hold back any longer, those tears reached the brim and rolled over onto his cheeks, dropping onto the smooth snow beneath him.
Again, again she was compelled. Against her initial reaction to leave the pup, she made her way over, slightly annoyed with the sound of his wailing. Gently she placed her hand upon his head, smoothing out the now snow covered hair.
Now I'm sure you'd like to explain to me, on why you tried to attack me. Hm?"
I..I..*hic* I'm all al…alone." I buried himself deep into the thick fur about her neck.
Her eyes softened.
All right little one. Dry your tears. I suppose I'll have to take you with me now wont I?"
The young lupe raised his head, green eyes shimmering with tears.
There are a few things that you must mind. You'll address me by Itoshika, nothing more nothing less. I hate brown noses and I don't do well with 'pet names'. If you complain about anything I'll leave you where you stand. If you're going to be living with me, then you're going to have to learn magic. Understood?"
The boy nodded, his head bobbing up and down.
Good. Now follow quickly. I'm already tight on time and I haven't any more to spare."
With that she rose leaving the boy behind her. Realizing this he shouted after her,
Aren't you gonna ask me my name?!"
I don't need to know such trivialities. Come, make haste."
Furious he shouted, charging after her, "It's Sai. Sailiiruu! Wait!"
And so began their trek.
