G a b r i e ll e ~ S a bb a t
As Gabrielle traversed these woods, in appearance it wasn't any different from ones she'd traveled through before. It had the usual traces of the dead and the living creatures hidden away in the crags of trees or the shade of the leaves, all being sparse at best. However, something was unique in that she could sense the heat of many rainbow flames, all living beings very close to her in great numbers. She couldn't see the flames of the living but she knew they were beautiful spirits and the feeling of such warmth radiating from them was euphoric, and although she knew the many flames were not eternal, the essence of them was wonderful.
Being immortal, she appreciated their beauty but she knew her internal flame would never extinguish. A small, orange flicker, it was captured in a young and fragile state many years ago, preserved like a dragonfly in amber. That was why she wore a pendant on her neck, it helped her reconcile because she wavered between accepting herself and despising her religious form. Today was a day that she accepted it and she was able to view them with a positive outlook.
The warmth of the flames was still quite far off, so she looked instead towards the energies that strayed, one was running ahead, two were walking in tandem, and one was very close by, an earthy flame that was as home as a burning hearth.
The small yellow flame on her shoulder flew off ahead, and transformed into a large owl. The earthly fire was now straight ahead of her, it looked to be a woman with a beautiful dress and long blond hair. Philip the owl hovered over her, he shimmered in the light cast by the holes in the forest canopy. Gabby hurried her pace and caught up to the woman, now they walked side by side. She began with some polite chit-chat, "Hello. It's a lovely day, isn't it Miss?" She was usually quite cautious when interacting with new people, but if Philip got no sense of danger from her, she trusted that and was more willing to open up.
