Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aselia stretched her arms above her head as she strolled quietly through the forest. She wasn't fond of some of the places in Jauhar but unfortunately for the young Mystic she would have to travel through them regardless. Popoie flew gracefully ahead of the alkidike quietly settling to rest while Aselia took her time catching up.

The mystic was interested in the world beyond the isle and so had traveled to Jauhar on her way to tale. There was something there she was heavily interested in and desired to see the creature she sought with her own eyes. Shifters be cursed they weren't going to stop her on her way.

Aselia stared at the beast as it came to a hault at her feet. She had seen these creatures before, even ridden one the first time she had come to Jauhar. That also meant she was fully aware of the destructive capabilities of the Radaku as a whole. Her eyes slowly lifting as she heard a voice in the distance. Ah, an Alkidike much like herself, a pleasant change from the shifters she had been encountering lately.

"I'm not easily bothered sister, he must be your familiar." Aselia noted scanning the Radaku over again. Her orbs focusing back on the younger Alkidike. Something about this woman was familiar but what. The markings were what made her appear familiar, and yet, she couldn't recognize the girls sense of style. Who was she. "Have we met before?"

Aselia groaned thoughtfully, as a Mystic she had met just about every Alkidike there was. Remember everyone and their markings was overwhelming for her. Scratching the top of her head Aselia tried to mentally turn her brain over in search of clues about the youngling this girl would have been when meeting. "Forgive me sister, I have a very bad memory when it comes to everyone. There are so many of you to remember. And I've met so many younglings." She had even brought many of them into the world too. Was this Alkidike referring to that?

No that didn't seem like the correct answer. Dipping her chin to get a better look at the Radaku Aselia she had no opinion of the strange creatures either way. Popoie gave a soft chirp directed at the Radaku and fluffed her wings to introduce herself. Though Aselia remained quiet on the subject.

What? WHAT!? That little girl? The one who had sought her out for advice on how to be a good Alkidike? The one who had been in trouble with her mother? This was that little girl? Had that much time really passed since Aselia had seen her. The Mystic blushed deeply and rubbed the back of her neck nervously. "Ahhahh. Forgive me V'demhe. I didn't recognize you, I mean the little girl I met didn't have lip rings and... well... all this." Aselia mentioned giving a sweeping motion across Dem's figure.

"You've really developed well. What brings you all the way out here?"

Aselia took a deep breath and smiled at the Alkidike before her. A growth spurt was certainly an understatement. Chuckling Aselia pointed back towards the direction she had been coming from. "Andile is a good place, with many strong sisters. It's good to see some stretching their wings and populating Jauhar." Aselia nodded happily, rolling the her slender shoulders and shifting the quiver against her back.

The question wasn't one that anyone had asked her before. Where was she going? Aselia knew the answer to that, giving a distant look to V'demhe. Eshe had granted her permission to finally travel away from Aisha for a while. And it wasn't like she was all that necessary she stay. Eshe had things well under control, her own work was just an added bonus. Besides the older Mystic was currently the voice of Aisha and had reassured her that while she was young even she had traveled.

"Ah now that, I am in search of a great bird." Popoie gave a sound and Aselia shook her head. "No no, not a Kinfa. A suruhama, they are found in tale. I need to know more about them."

Aselia nodded as she seemed to be looking off into the distance again. Her thumb subconsciously lifted to brush along the markings on her arm. It wasn't surprising so few Alkidike knew of the Suruhama, it wasn't a creature known to them. And it seemed to be a diety to the people in Tale, of sorts at least. She wasn't too sure what kind of creature she would be able to find. If she could find it to start with. But she desperately wanted to see it, for it was because of it's feathers she was still alive.

"Both." Aselia answered in a clipped tone. She hadn't meant to come off so sharply but that was just how things were with her. Blinking and turning to look at V'demhe again Aselia nodded. "Do not worry so much about the creatures that have no concern with our kind. They are merely a type of fire bird. Rare, or so I'm told."

Aselia narrowed her eyes. "I don't see how my personal travels have anything to do with you." She didn't mean to be so sharp with how she spoke, not really, she just didn't like her sisters prying into every moment of her life. They all seemed to know who she was, what she was, everything about her. Unlike her, they all had lives they could keep separate from one another and yet her life was a wide open book to them. That had bothered her.

Flicking the string of her bow Aselia narrowed her gaze on the younger Alkidike. "What rumors?" She had no knowledge of any harmful rumors in the area, at least any that could bring harm to her body anyway. "I travel alone for the most part though I do have a friend, Neibet. She travels with me from time to time." A smirk moved upon her face as she continued to regard V'dehme. "Are you offering your services?"
