It was a warm day, but the skies were cloudy the air was heavy. The young witch stared off into the vast forest and sighed lightly. She seemed to always end up in dangerous situations and it was starting to concern her. The kidnapping and everything that happened at Peona Privus was still so fresh in her mind, but she wasn’t too sure if Ermys could help her with this problem. The tightness in her chest, she was always feeling like she was going to suffocate. Now the place she loved and felt safest seemed to have turned into something scary.
Putting one foot out she took the first steps. A gust of wind came carrying the voices, the breeze swirled around her ankles and then up along her body as if it was hugging her and pulling her into the forest. Her hair pulled up with the wind as it left her body and she found herself walking into the forest. Cedar liked to always see the good things. But that wasn’t always the case. There were bad things and people in the world. That was just a fact of life.
The further she walked into the forest the better she felt. It was strange, sometimes she wondered if the Creator messed up she should have been born a Druid. She was so in tune with Nature that it seemed even more unnatural then the fact that she was born with it. Her family from what she could remember never had magic in it. She had the ability to send her soul into trees, rocks, even the grass. Yes maybe the Creator made a mistake.
As she came out of her thoughts the olive eyes girl looked around. She wasn’t in an overly familiar area. She rarely went that far in without Ermys these days. It seemed that Druids would becoming a more common sight. They weren’t all friendly from what she had heard. Climbing up a small rock formation the young girl sat hanging her legs over and peering out.

The large Acacia tree he was currently sitting in was chatting his ear off about the latest cross-pollination gossip about a bunch of oak trees. The Druid was trying his best to ignore most of what the tree was telling him because as much as he liked this tree, it resembled those annoying backbiting group of girls back in his Enclave.
Speaking of girls, what was one doing so far away from the closest town?
Closing his eyes and allowing his magic to rise to the surface, the Druid sent out his magic and directed his senses towards the other. Keiskei felt something like what a happy sunflower would emanate when facing the sun, but upon probing a little bit deeper sensed a somehow sad melancholy swirling around the happier inner core. She was no doubt a witch for sure and with magic…oddly similar to druids.
Keiskei tilted his head to the side and wondered that maybe she just needed a bit of cheering up. It was an awfully nice day to be sad. No one should be this sad on such weather like this! The forest around them was fairly blooming under the sunlight!
The Druid chuckled to himself. Maybe a little fright would be enough to kick her out of that funk? Keiskei slowly made his way down to one of the lower branches that was hanging just a little overhead of where the young witch was sitting on a rock, no doubt, brooding up a storm.
The green-eyed Druid looked around and plucked a small light green flower from a creeping vine near him, apologizing for the action to the vine at the same time. He then inched slowly towards the Witch and tried his best to avoid making any sounds. When he was close enough, he suddenly let himself hang upside down with only his legs supporting his weight and faced the girl, one hand slightly extended holding the flower towards her.
“Flower to cheer you up?” He offered, with a large smile-- then his glasses fell off.
DRAT!

Right before Cedar came to sit, she was aware of the other. Though not knowing he was a druid, just that someone else was there. And even though she heard almost nothing of his movements from him, when the male swung down with a flower her olive eyes stared at him. Her legs catching his glasses and she reached out to take the flower. Her face held a blank look, the flower being twirled against her finger tips she finally exhaled.
It felt like her heart at stopped beating for a moment. Knowing he was there and what he did were two separate things. Let alone the fact that she didn't even know him could have made him a threat right away. Even has he hung there, he still could be. Not everyone could wear a sign that said 'I'm dangerous. Watch out!'. Hell her brain told her to fight, not flee. But her body did neither. She looked at the small flower fondly.
"Well thank you." She said quietly before using her free hand to gather his glasses and offer them back to him. "You're a druid?" For her it was almost to easy, her magic was so similar to many of their kind that she felt a 'bond' with them. And it was almost saddening, in her time of knowing her Guide Ermys she hadn't met many others that 'accepted' her. It was like taking a base ball bat to her confidence. She was already having self doubts and now she was thinking about the possibility of self confidence issues?
Once the druid took his glasses back she used her hand to ran over the bandages on her left arm. She'd have a permanent reminder of what happened there. Suddenly she shook her head in an almost violent manner. "What am I doing!?" She spoke loudly. She took in a deep breath. Enough was enough.
"Oh I'm so sorry." She looked directly at him. That was kind of embarrassing but it was needed. A lot of the heavy feelings seem to just go away. "I'm not in a private territory am I? I don't come out this far often unless I'm with my Guide."

Keiskei felt his breath catch as he blurrily watched his glasses fall and sighed in relief as it fell into the girl’s lap. It was disastrously hard to get a pair of glasses and hideously expensive. It would set back his small family’s saving rather behind if he’d managed to break them.
The quite thank you he got for his trouble though was rather saddening. This little lady really was in a funk wasn’t she? Keiskei tilted his head amused as to her knowledge of his kind. How odd for someone like her with similarities in Druid magic to know Druids. Keiskei would bet his life that he wasn’t the first one to approach her. All Druids were too curious for their own good and Keiskei had more than a healthy share of curiosity on his part.
The green-eyed Druid then reached out and took his glasses back when the lady offered it back to him. Blinking he tried to put them back on but realized being upside down wasn’t really conducive for his glasses staying on. Keiskei arched his body then flipped off the tree, landing with his feet beside the other and almost fell flat on his face when the Witch suddenly shouted.
Oh Gaia, that was close!
Turning his attention back to her, heart thumping a little loud at the unexpected outburst. Keiskei drew closer then sat a little ways from where she had been sitting on the rock. He then let his gaze wander over the forest.
“Well…the forest belongs to everyone in a way but you’re just getting a little too close to a Druid settlement, and you’re pretty nice and I’m just giving you a little warning or you’ll find your head chopped off or something.” Keiskei explained, settling his gaze on her again. She had a Guide? –Not a Druid, couldn’t be—wow, maybe actually was a Druid.
“I don’t know about your Guide and all, even he/she is a Druid but it’s explicitly forbidden to take non-Druids to a Druid Enclave.” Keiskei looked serious, and stared at the lady.” Taking you even this close to one is putting your life unnecessarily at risk.”
Green eyes narrowed as Keiskei found himself looking at the bandages on her left arm” –something bad happened to you little Lady? I might have some healing salve for it, and I know my salves are pretty good.”

Cedar realized she must have looked like a lunatic in his eyes. She felt completely embarressed about her behavior, this wasn't her at all. She was a very well grounded person. She took in a breath letting herself calm even further as she listened to the male after he sat near by.
"I had a feeling I was. But I personally enjoy having my head attached to my shoulders." She laughed lightly. That was right, that strange bond she felt when she went out with Ermys. She had never been to Ermy's 'home'. He usually always found her. "I guess I was so lost in my thoughts that, I followed the familiar feeling without meaning too." It was careless, she could have really gotten into trouble.
"Ah yes, Ermys told me the same thing. He's never taken me to one I assure you. A long time ago, he told me about them and warned me to never get to close. " She nodded turning to look at him. "Thank you for not dragging me off." She looked directly at him, with a look on her face that said she meant what she said. " I don't know if you can feel it. But when I get near Druids I can sense your bonds with nature... I think bond is the right word for it. And it gives me a familiar feeling. If I'm not careful I end up in positions like this." She smiled again. Though the more she looked at him the more curious she became.
Ermys had a younger look to him, Cedar thought. This male had an air of age to him. But he didn't seem to threatening, the tension in her shoulder releasing her eyes glanced at her arm. 'little Lady', she didn't mind that name.
"Oh this? Unless you have something that can take some of the ache away, a healer has already worked on it, and the one on my shoulder collar bone area. It'll go away in time." She gave a nod before turning on the rock completely.
She raised her other arm and she pointed to the thing on his shoulder. "What's that?" It looked like a mask with fur on it.
