An glanced around quickly to make sure she was alone, then stepped out onto the water. The stream was too wide to jump and with the chilled wins coming in she didn't fancy the thought of getting her feet wet. So, instead she employed a trick she'd learned over years of watching the cattuar living on Draiocht, water walking. "Thanks daddy," she mused as she walked briskly across the surface.


Avid_RPer18
Deucalion had been hunting near the stream and had set up a small fire to cook his catch. Originally he had set out for a rabbit or two, but settled for a rabbit and a fish. He shook his hands and wiped them on the sash tied around his waist. It'd be a while before his catch would be done so he had time to kill. He didn't fancy washing his hands in the seasonally cool water, but he wanted to rid himself of the few fish scales. He moved towards the stream and broke through the treeline.

((Heh. Okay. Here's his information, since he isn't in exsistance yet. sweatdrop

An struggled to keep up with the pace of the stream. The natural grace employed by the cattaurs made water walking on moving water look easy. In reality one had to keep moving to avoid being dragged downstream, and constantly keep an eye out for bumps made by the water flowing over rocks. Finally she stepped onto the far bank, smiling.

"Better luck next time Mr. Stream!"



Avid_RPer18
Deu had knelt down and had slipped his hands into the chilled waters of the stream, allowing its current to wash away the remnants of him cleaning his catch. He withdrew his hands from the stream with a sigh and curled and uncurled his hands to work warmth back into his fingers.

He overheard An's statement and lifted his gaze from his hands to scan around him. Not too far from him stood a female centaur along the edge of the bank. He stood up and dried his hands on the cloth about his waist. He blinked for a moment then ventured a grin. "I'm sure you showed the stream what for, eh?"

The voice gave An a start, but she knew he hadn't seen her trip across. If he had she would have been accused of mixed heritage by now. "Sure did!" She smiled. "Say, is that your fire I smell?"


Avid_RPer18
Deu looked back towards the location of where he had set up a temporary camp. He smiled and turned back to the dusty rose furred centaur. "Yes, it is! Care to join me? I've got some food that I'd be up for sharing."

"Ooohh! If you insist!" An walked over to where the cervitaur was standing. "I still have some bread and fruit left from lunch. Would you like some?"


Avid_RPer18
"Sure! We can throw together a decent meal." Deu motioned towards his little camp. "After you. Just follow the smell of my cooking." He chuckled. "My name's Deucalion, by the way."

"All my friends call me An," she stepped towards the warm fire. "Ohh, now isn't this cozy? And I'd imagined myself eating all on my own beneath the cold stars tonight." This wasn't true, per say, she could have summoned a fire if she needed it. But a few dozen mates over the long years had thought her that most young men loved to be praised as the hero.


Avid_RPer18
"Well, it's nice to meet you, An. I suppose you could call me Deu for short, but there are a plethora of nicknames that can be taken from my name so you can call me whatever." He gave a slight shrug. "It's okay, I guess. I just kind of threw it together." He grew up without too much female interaction so he didn't really know how to react. He decided to just be modest. "Feel free to make yourself at home." Deu checked the skewered rabbit and fish. "Ah, it appears we're just in time. They're ready."

"Lovely!" An reached into her bag and pulled out half a loaf of bread and a small variety of fruits. "Help yourself. So, tell me, what's a strapping young cervi doing so close to the forbidden forest?"


Avid_RPer18
Deu slipped the rabbit off of it's skewer first, then the fish. He set them down in a shallow tin plate that he traveled with. "Sure. Take what you want and don't blame me if you leave hungry." He smiled as he picked up one of the fruits from An's bag. "I'm out here simply to travel and to see what I can see. No real point in it save for adventure. What about you? What's a pretty taur like you doing in a place this?"


one over three
"Oh well I'm heading right on in! I've heard some intriguing stories about the place, but I think the most I'll have to worry about are a few naga." She broke the bread in half and passed the larger piece to Deu. "Not for adventure though, just call it... research!"

Deu accepted the offered half of bread. "Thanks." He slipped his free hand into his bag and after a bit of rifling around, produced a small knife. He cut himself off a piece of rabbit and twirled the knife, offering An the handle so she could take what she wanted. "Ah! Well, research is always good. What are you intending on studying, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Stalkers," she said in a matter of fact tone. "Theres many stories about them but little solid fact." She started by cutting off a chunk of fish. "Though in all honesty, I'm just wondering if they exist at all or if it's a case of mistaken identity."
PostPosted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 10:33 am


"Oh yeah? Interesting. I remember hearing of them when I little. I just figured them to be figments of the imagination and good story material." He mused about the subject of Stalkers with absent-mindedly nibbling on his piece of bread. He swallowed and continued, having shaken his train of thoughts away. "So, An? What do you think on going into this? I mean, what do you expect you'll find in there?"

"A few naga, perhaps a a hidden clan, maybe a unitaur..." An was being sarcastic on the last comment but she didn't sound it, drifting into thought as she was.
PostPosted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 10:45 am


"Hmm," Deu hummed as he pictured what could be in the forbidden forest. "I don't think I've ever seen a naga before. It'd certainly be an interesting experience."

"Oh? What's that gleam in your eye? Do you want to come with me?" An smiled and took a big bite of bread.
PostPosted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 10:58 am


Deu gave An a sort of crooked grin accompanied by a chuckle. "Maybe...If you'll have me, of course. I wouldn't want to impose."

An smiled playfully, "Well I'd love to have you along! But, if the stories happen to be true I'm afraid it would be far too dangerous for a young man such as yourself. If the stories are true stalkers don't stop for dashing good looks."
PostPosted: Tue Oct 02, 2007 11:23 am


"Wonderful!" Deu then shrugged after taking a bite of his selected fruit. "Eh. I'm sure I'll manage. Besides, it's worth going off the beaten track every so often. If I end up getting hurt," Another shrug, "so be it."

An put down her fruit, her tone changing from playful to serious, "I believe you've misunderstood. If the legends are true, and stalkers exist the only ones strong enough to defeat them are the unitaur. I may not look it but I can hold my own and it will be a thousand times safer without a distracting young whelp trailing me. Please understand, this isn't about your pride."

Deu flicked an ear as he stoked the fire with a sigh, helping push back the growing darkness of autumn's early evenings. He was silent for a long moment as he stared into the firelight, its flickering glow reflected in his eyes. 'Ouch...my pride' was the thought at the back of his mind, though his face remained fairly neutral. He spoke in a calm, low tone.

"Naw. I understand, at least I think so. You plan on going in alone. If the things are real and you happen to be confronted by them, then you'll deal." He closed his eyes, feeling the heat radiating from the fire. He continued. "I can tell there is something unique about you, An, and I'm sure you could hold your own. You're something completely different. I don't know exactly what but you are." He opened his dark green eyes and shifted them directly to An. "I don't intend on living my life safely, letting opportunity pass me by. I won't stand by the wayside letting my life fly by uneventfully. I intend on living and living well. I fully plan on sliding in on my side to meet my maker and exclaiming, 'Wow! That was some trip!' Do you see what I'm saying?"

This time when An spoke her tone was neither playful nor flirty. Instead she sounded as if she where uttering her first words, and her last. "Then do not enter the dread forest tonight. Part ways with me and one day, if I see you again, I'll tell you if there's an adventure there worth facing death for. Until then, live long and fill your life with adventures." She stood now emitting a glow reminiscent of ancient magics, just soft enough to make one wonder if it was only a trick of the light. "I've looked upon the fountain at Draiocht, child. And it is wonderful." With this she swung her bag over her shoulder and turned away.

((The island Draiocht is named after the fountain Draiocht which is rumored to be hidden on it and is the center of magic. The unitaur city was built around the fountain, and even though the location of the fountain and the city are lost the legends persist. Saying that you've been to the fountain at Draiocht is pretty much the equiv of saying you've seen Unitaur. Most people being told so, would assume the speaker is flippin' nuts.

Naturally, however, it's entirely you're choice what he thinks. X3))

Deu felt as though a spark raced down his spine. He blinked his eyes and shook his head, watching An's retreating form. He stood, his brows knit low on his forehead. He had dropped his mostly finished fruit to the ground at his standing. "You're serious." That was more of a statement than a question. "You've seen them?" He felt incredulous about An's words, and yet interested at the same time. Part of him wanted to call her a nutter and to leave her be, but he had grown up with tales of the Unitaur and they always fascinated him as a lad. His more cynical friends thought it nonsense, the stuff fairy tales are made of. He was more open to the idea and took the tales to heart.
