anemosagkelos

And like that, they arrived.

The doe walked through the tall grass that she'd planted four years ago. It was a barrier that blocked sight into this glade she had cultivated. Emerging from the grass was no less than walking into a dream.

Alive with plants it was in full bloom. The air was fragrant with the smell of flowers and she trekked carefully through on one of the paths she'd forged years ago. Like a mother, she checked on her handiwork until she made it to the perfect apple tree that was the center of it all.

It was paradise. And now she would know the swan was safe. There was someone she had to find...

She knows where she has to go. She knows who it is that will know what to do. Around her the world blurs as she sets off. Here and now, her mind starts to turn. (How do I know... Have we ever met...) But the more she thinks the less it matters. She knows, that's what is important.

It is a cave that she finds. A purple totoma stands in its mouth. The fur between her shoulder rises up, a mohawk forming down her back as her hackles rise in irritation. (Don't trust him. Don't make deals with the devil.) Rather than grimace, she lets a smile, wide and cocky, mask her distaste.

"Where is it?"

The totoma laughs, cajoles and twitters like a loon, "Ah ah, dearie, is that ever how things work?"

And no, never in her life is that how things work. Except for today. For neither has a thing. He is broken and she is too far out of his orbit. He talks of a pond where water glimmers with the power to heal and all of the plants near it are imbued with that same gift. She thanks him and goes.

But if getting the answer was easy, it makes sense that the pond is surrounded by thick brambles that twist and turn into a wall that cannot be rounded. She must go through. And fury rises up because why is it always a battle. With a scream, she raises a hoof and stomps down on the closest thorny tendril.

It hurts like hell but the tendril breaks and a small fissure appears.

Another kick and while it is not as powerful as her first, it does the job. She hisses as the thorns poke at her but ventures further in regardless.

Again, a crash of hooves against plant. The sharp edges are no match for the softer body of the barrier. But damn if the thorns don't p***k and prod and poke.

A stray vine falls down and encircles her throat. In her haste to get free, she bites at it. Teeth clamp down not just on the thin plant but also tear into the brambles. It hurts like hell but the grip severs a large section and connections break. She's almost there.

Rearing she crashes down on the wall. It crumbles at her touch except for one formidable section. But she doesn't back down. Never has. And she knows the next attack will be the last.

All of her weight slams into the briars and they disintegrate.

The pond glimmers silver and blue in the light from the sun. Around it is a variety of plants that seem to sparkle. She steps forward, almost expecting something else to arise but nothing does. With care she picks through the plants, taking samples and lying them into an easy to carry bouquet.

Near the edge of the water lies a, no longer needed, turtle shell. It takes some time but she manages to fill it with water and thread a strong cord of vine through the openings so that she can carry it back.

Arriving back at her glade, the doe sees that the swan has found a comfortable patch of shade. She places her findings nearby and begins to get to work. A paste of some sort will be needed to help the gouged wound to help.

Using a little water and stomping the bud of one of the flowers, she begins to mix the solution. It's harder work than one thinks causing her to take a step back. The mixture is still loose but the swan seems to appreciate it.

Before she can continue, she decides that some fallen bark from the tree may help. Unfortunately it is behind the swan and the creature is affronted by her attempt to gather the shavings.

Bark added in the paste begins to thicken. This appeases the creature and it seems to settle, no longer thinking she's going to harm it. She continues working, unsure if she's really making progress or not.

In her concentration she leaves the swan to entertain itself. Oddly enough that seems to please it. She can hear it making the same content sounds from the journey.

The paste is almost complete and the swan seems to preen at her work. There's something about it that makes tears work into her eyes but she blinks them back. She'll be done in a moment.

Finally it is done. She worries for a moment over how to apply it but the swan seems to understand. It rolls onto its side, vulnerable and trusting.

Carefully she applies the paste to the wound. It doesn't take long but she still takes her time. When she is done she falls to her lie on her stomach and the swan rights itself. It is nose to beak that the two fall asleep.

Atone wakes, a fog over her mind and a heaviness in her limbs. She is not in her glade nor is the swan with her. And she is startled by the sadness that floods over and into her.

Around her there are a variety of creatures who seem content to leave her be. And yet they come closer as if impressed with her in some way. She drops her chin to the ground and sighs.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.The doe's face haunts her. It is simpering and confused and terrified. And she hadn't cared. She was too angry but now... Guilt swirls deep in her gut whenever she examines it, she knows she was wrong. Even cruel. She was her old self.

She feels lost as she gives in to tiredness. Even with sleep pulling over her, she thinks of that doe and wonders if she could ever see her again. One day, she swallows tightly at the thought, she will have to apologize. She cannot be that entity anymore. She doesn't want to be. But she struggles to walk the path of a new life. It's harder than it seems.

With that she falls into slumber...

Atone startles awake. A low growl tremors through the ground and rattles her bones. Lifting up her head, she sees the wide open mouth of a caiman.

Its back is littered with scars of old and it seems to be in some distress. That's when she notices the blood. Crimson is splattered along the ground and spreads diluted plumes through the creek where the reptile is making a stand. And this time, she knows it isn't her fault. Even she could hardly take on a caiman--this one is even larger than most.

The paleness is what makes it remarkable. A liquid cream that only enhances the pinkness of its eyes. That is not what makes her think it is more though. Its digits seem to scrawl in the mud as if trying to communicate and she believes it is more intelligent than mere animal.

She rises, slowly, and determines to help it.
