Welcome to Gaia! ::

Betty bay had been walking for days. Her and her family lived a 3 day and 2 night journey from the Grandfather tree but now was the time for her to be blessed with her gift. Before she had left her mother had kissed her chick and told her "Bay you will do great dont worry about what your gift is The wise Grandfather Tree known you better then anyone. He will bestow who with the gift that is best for who you are." Betty knew her mom was just trying to help calm her nerves but it really did nothing to calm her nerves all. If anything it made things worse.

As her and her father made the long journey to the Grandfather Tree they never spoke. Not that she didnt have many question but it was they way her family had made the journey for many generation. Her father once told her "When it's time for a nouls to travel to the Grandfather Tree, one must traval in silence to keep their spirit close to the Grandfather Tree so that the nouls talent is clear in ones heart." All Betty could think about was would happen if a talent wasnt given to her? and how can The Grandfather Tree know her heart when she didnt know herself?

The journey to the tree took 3 days and 2 nights. When they had only a mile to go her father stopped and just looked at her. This was as far as he would go, she was to take the last mile on her own. Taking a deep breath in and out again she head off. The mile walk was long strenuous but by the time she had made it to the edge of the clearing her heart was racing. Stopping to gather herself she spotted a mostly white Jack Hop who seemed to be watching her. She almost said hello but remembered that this trip was to be completed in silence until the Grandfather tree bestowed her with her gift. So she sampled smiled and nodded.

With one last breath in she stepped out of the forest and approached the Grandfather tree. Its massive white truck was bigger then even her imagination would have dreamed. It truly was the most beautiful thing she had ever see. There was other nouls in the clearing but she didnt by much mind to them. Her nevers completely forgotten she moved all the way to the base of the trunk and bowed her head in wait.

Has the Grandfather Tree's vision takes hold of Betty Bay reality and the dream world become one. In a flash Betty is standing in the Homewood "But wasnt in just at the Grandfather Tree?" confusioned and disoriented she see a foal not to far from her. "Hello are you lost too? Do you know where we are? But the foal doesnt respond to her call.

Coming closer to the foal Betty can see that the poor foal is very sick. Look all around in search of the foals family she is unable to stop anyone. "Do you know where your mama and papa are?" but the foal still has no answer for her. Well you cant just leave this young on to fend for itself. Looking around Betty decides her best choice is to build a shelter for the young foal. "Ok little one I'm going to build a shelter for us. You stay right here. The foal still doesnt respond. Betty sends a silent prayer to the Grandfather Tree that the foal understood her.

After a hour and many worried looks to check on the foal, Betty finishes the shelter complete with a warming fire. "Ok little foal come and rest in here." The foal makes no move to the shelter so she nudges it softly with her should guiding it to the shelter and gently weights it down into the nesting area. Ok now to get some water and food into this little foal. "Alright I need to go get some water. Please stay here where it's safe. Ok? No response but Netty notice the goals eye closing and falling asleep. Good this foal needs to rest to heal.

Getting up to go get water was easy bring it back not so much but Betty finds and near by makeshift cup to bring back some water. When she arrives back to the shelter the foal is still sleeping. Finding some lavender alot the way was super lucky and Betty knows it will help the healing process too. So she wakes the foal who is groggy and still doesnt respond. Helping the foal drink the lavender water she makes sure it's all down before laying down next to the now fast asleep foal. Betty was uncertain if the mixture would help but it was to dark to do anything else. It would be a long night, Betty was certain of that much but she needed rest too so she closed her eyes for a little until the foal needed her again.
