Obscure Tayledras...

[fiorlys]

Where are my wings? My feathers? You deny me the form I have grown accustomed to and block me from hearing her voice?

Your magic is cruel. [She doesn't know how to even stand properly. One minute she is trying to get to her feet, the next, she is crumpled on the ground, glaring.] Show me my people - the Tayledras. Show me a Hertasi or a Dyheli. I much prefer the company of a moth compared to you!

Less obscure Tayledras ~

[adeptable]

Have they ever listened?

[fiorlys]

I am new to them; I cannot say.

[adeptable]

Then may the Goddess grant you better fortune than I.

[fiorlys]

What can she grant me when I am torn from her side?

[adeptable]

Little, I suppose, but losing faith helps little, either.

[fiorlys]

Losing faith? I have walked the Moonpaths, brother, and grown wings. I believe. I wish only to serve.

[adeptable]

Then there is little, I think, I may do to help. My poor soul has seen only the earth.

[fiorlys]

Should you desire to follow, it may be arranged. She is kind.

[adeptable]

That, sh'aen, I do know. But I think I've too much to tie me down. People I could not leave behind me for this or another world. Still, I thank you for the offer.

[fiorlys]

Your name? I have only begun to remember mine. It is Dawnfire K'Sheyna for this form.

[adeptable]

I am Starwind, k'Treva Speaker.

[fiorlys]

You...are known. This is an honor.

[adeptable]

My thanks, though I have done little enough to be remembered.

[fiorlys]

Little enough? Without your care, a certain Herald Mage would never have reached his full potential.

[adeptable]

I did no more than any of us would have. K'treva could no more ignore the call of her Wingsister to help a child than any clan could.

[fiorlys]

You would not ignore a call that I know, but to have the gifts to aid a miserable child best is beyond simple help. I could jump from a cliff and feel as if I was in flight, but it would be a farce without wings. You shared your wings with him.

[adeptable]

Moondance has done far more for him.

[fiorlys]

You miss him.

[adeptable]

He is half of my soul and all of my heart. Yes, I do.

[fiorlys]

I know your pain in part. She freed me from the ache, but now I recall it. And him.

[adeptable]

A life without pain has no joy in it, either. Yet, I think, it is hard to remember when the ache is this close.

[fiorlys]

Moondance... Darkwind... Both have intangible names. Is it a warning?

[adeptable]

Of what, sh'aen?

[fiorlys]

Their inevitable disappearance.

I do not think Moondance will find another, but Darkwind did.

[adeptable]

And what does that mean to the rest of us?
