Here are the series of posts I've done to illustrate her story, thus far;Quote: The day was young. The sun beating vigorously down on the ground. The deer were beginning to gather in a slight opening of a lush forest. As they all gathered, they began to graze. Picking at the lengthy grass, they chewed to their hearts content.
But they were not alone.
It's hard to say what startled them. Was it the sound of something violently cutting the air? Or was it the small item that hit the ground near them with great force? The reason they ran was unknown. The point is, they ran.
Several yards away, where the opening turned into trees, a wisper of frustration could be heard. Naru, elf in training, was trying her best to hit a deer with her bow. She gentling cursed at herself for missing. She readied another arrow. Looking patiently out into the field, she waited.
She sit still for a moment. Watching. Suddenly, without warning or indication, she flipped her body around. A new target had been found... Quote: ...A new target.
A young man stood behind her. His face was not visible from beyond his cloak hood. Infact, that only thing that gave away his gender was the sweet scent of masculinity. A few strands of blue hair fell out from his hood as he bowed his head forward slightly. A gentle laugh came from the shade of the hood. An unseen smile crossed his face. 'If you aim for me, you will go without food.'
'What do you want?!' Naru shouted defensively. The fear could easily be seen in the young lass' face, but she tried her best to hide it.
'Are you frightened little girl?' he chuckled once more. 'I can see right past the mask you're trying to put over your face.'
'Stay back! I'll shoot you!' A tremble came up her arm.
He reached unto his cloak and slowly pulled something out. The sound of metal came from within. He slowly pulled out a dagger about 5 inches in length.
Frightened for her life, Naru released the grip on her bow and shot the arrow for the mans head. He tilted his head to the right, slightly. The arrow passed right by his cheek, slicing him slightly and ripped right through the back of his hood. He quickly and precisely shot his dagger towards her.
She closed her eyes tightly. Waiting. A strange sound could be heard from behind, but she figured the dagger would have peirced her skin by now. She opened her eyes, fearing it hit her so that all the nerves were severed, rendering her unable to feel pain. Then she realised, she hadn't been struck. She looked behind to notice a snake pinned to the tree by his weapon. A rather venomous species, no less.
An epiphany had come to her. This mysterious man had saved her life. Tears had already began to run down the youths face at this point. Turning around, Naru realised the man was crouched down just infront of her.
'So young... You shouldn't be here. You're not ready to be in the wilderness yet.' He wiped both tears from her face. 'There there, child. It's okay. Everything will be fine now.'
The man pulled the hood from his head. A trickle of blood slowly ran down his left cheek. The depth of warmth in his eyes were the first things Naru noticed. She couldn't help but break out into tears once more... Quote: A cold autumn breeze blew through the trees. Crickets chirped cheerfully as the small critters went about their business. The moonlight had shone down upon the dead of night and all along the forest. Most of the tree's had already began to loose their leaves. Another light source could be found near the forests edge, right where it turned to prarie grassland.
The wood cracked as the fire ate away at it's composition. Embers flew up into the air. Twas a beautiful sight. A few feet from this burning inferno sat a young blue haired male, though half blind, watched the flames very carefully. Eager for his new 'companion' to awaken. Atleast, he saw her in this light.
A few feet away, covered in think blanket, lay the a delicate young lass, about 16 in appearance, though it was impossible to tell her true age. A drop of water fell from the tree above and trickled down onto her pointed ear. This was enough to awaken her. He eyes opened slowly. With a sudden realisation of the situation, she sprung up from her slumber and glanced around.
Not knowing what to think, she looked around confused. A voice from behind interupted her investigation.
"I see you've finally awoken. Did you rest well?"
A recollection occured to her. "You... you saved me."
The male smiled sweetly. "I'm glad to see you remembered." This caused the girl to question his statement. He caught on right away and quickly responded, "You fainted soon after I approached you. I figure it was from how hard you've been pushing yourself. You seem like you're too young to be out in the wilderness."
"Don't you dare tell me what's good for me! You don't know me! I'm 56 for God's sake!"
"Aye. But you still seem quite youthful in appearance. They say on occasion, some elves act the age they seem."
She couldn't say much to that. She was quite immature given her age. They both remained silent for a moment. The male finally broke the silence.
"Name's Faenaro..."
"...Naru."
"Pleasure to meet you."
A strange warmth began to creep into Naru's cheeks. Was she blushing? 'Oh no,' she thought. 'I hope it's too dark for him to notice...'
"You don't have to get embarrassed around me," Faenaro said with a grin.
Naru wanted to die inside.
((xD)) Quote: Silence. Oh what a lovely tune it plays. The melody of nothing at all. It's so sickening, it cuts right through you. It slowly drives you mad. Born into a world of audio, deafness is tragedy.
Neither elves were deaf. The just didn't know what to say. Faenaro mainly for not having ever dealt with the female species other then elders, wasn't sure how to address the young girl who sat across from him. Though he did learn a lot from the elders, so this was only temporary, until he could find suitable words to speak.
Naru felt uncomfortable. Who was this strange man? What did he want with her? For all she knew, he was a diranged killer who had just found his latest victim. There are some really sick people out there. For all she knew, he was going to scalp her and wear her scalp around like a wig. Or maybe she'd be boilded and eaten.
Faenaro admired the girls beauty. One thing he was always good at was observation. He could always notice things. It's like indirect mind reading. Based off of ones actions, you can have a brief overview of what the person is thinking. This girl seemed very troubled. Perhaps the silence was making her feel uneasy. Maybe he should show her that he's not harmful to her.
Feanaro stood up and walked clockwise around the fire. Naru was so lost in her fabrications that she didn't even notice him coming. She seemed to be staring blankly into space at this point. Crouching down infront of her, his face was about a foot away from his.
Naru noticed he was right there. She shrieked in surprise and fell backwards off the log she was sitting on, only to land on the solid ground behind her. Faenaro laughed gentley. "Need a hand?" he questioned, reaching down to help her.
She blushed again.
'She's kinda cute', Faenaro proclaimed to himself.
'Agh, he's so creepy!' Naru beat herself up for not running away. 'But still... he's so kind. Maybe he isn't that bad....'
