Ghosts of the Past. [Aello]

Fall 22, 512 AV
Just outside of Zeltiva
Early Morning

As usual, a blonde walked out of Zeltiva and through the tall grass. He could do this blind folded now, but he just looked at his hand brush the grass at his sides. The grass had been flattened down from the days of being walked over, leaving the short walls of grass on both sides. The small patch of familiar trees was only a short way ahead, but he was in no hurry, like he never was. Wasn’t like anyone was waiting for him truly, as much as he’d like to believe the corpse underground could hear him still.


The artist was carrying his pack which contained a flute, music book, and his sketchbook with some charcoal. His usual things he takes along with him out here now and days. After all, playing flute in town and being horrible isn’t a good mix and fortunately, no one was usually around to hear it anyway. Drawing was much more quiet then on the docks, providing a different type of mood and concentration of sorts. To sum it up, it was different out here then it was inside the bustling city.

After walking in the middle of the small patch of trees, he sat down by the tree in front of the small mound of dirt, taking his pack off and setting it next to him. Taking the flute that was sticking out already, he moved his prized sketchbook out of the way to grab the music book. He still didn’t have a clue how to read the odd… language on the pages, but the fingers that were drawn in on that inside cover by her hand made it easier. He didn’t really read the book for the songs; he just played with fingerings a bit. It’s a start. Besides, he didn’t want to play someone else’s song. He wanted to make his own. The hypocrite needs to do the same with his memories.

He had nothing to say today, nothing of importance that he could share with the air. The only thing important enough to share was his dastardly deed, in which he didn’t wish to share. He wanted to leave that behind and move on. Though he should be doing the same with other aspect of his life as well.

Ghosts of the Past [Aello]

Postby Aello on November 13th, 2012, 2:28 am

Timestamp: Fall 22, 512 AV

Aello stepped lightly through the endless field of trees. Their branches swaying softly in the breeze as the last of their leaves rustled. Sparkled, as the light of the sun hit them, making it seem all the more that the trees were afire with their vibrancy. Dancers of gold, deep crimson and orange rocking back and forth as the wind caused their flesh to furl. Like a sail, they cupped, and moved; creating only a part of the forest's music. The huntress watched them idly, as she moved along with a fluid grace. Knowledgeable and practiced, the blistered soles of tanned cow's hide scarcely making a sound as she tread over the uneven bed of terrain, carpeted by leaves and dying pine needles.

At times, her feet would displace them as she walked along, making no point of heading anywhere in particular, although she was beginning to recognize the woods again. Just as she had grown to memorize the shape of that directly surrounding Ravok, her memories of this place were beginning to come back. To shape the ground before it had entered her mind's eye.

We took a wrong turn somewhere, the huntress thought to herself, as her eyes counted the line of trees she tread through. We should not have ventured this close to home.

Smiling uneasily, she kept on moving as her ears prickled. The drums reverberating as several sounds coursed through the canals. Lending the wood's song to her ears in the way the birds chirped and the earth trembled beneath the weight of some larger creature. Pebbles rattling as she crept along, and then stopped as her eyes settled upon a stranger. One with fair skin and blonde hair, eyes that seemed far off, like the edge of the sea.

The huntress stood tall and silent a moment, as her gaze swept over his form; her fist tightening around the grip of her father's old bow as her lower lip quivered. The pale pink that made it fleeting as the stilled air caused the blue of her dress to stop rippling. "Hello," she finally called, wondering if it would be enough to get him to look at her.

OOCI think the date suits both of our needs.

With little awareness of his surroundings or of anyone who was present at the moment, Gale lifted the old heirloom up to his lips to finally give the flute a go, to start a new hobby. Or not.

With a jump and a huff, the piece of wood fumbled in Gale’s hand with a unnatural shrilling squeak that quickly diminished when the artist gripped the instrument and set down in his lap. His eyes could have resembled a deer’s, being wide with surprise as if he was caught red handed in one of the few crimes he had committed. But it was simply a younger lass. Probably one that just happened upon Gale and his homemade grave and only wanted an introduction and an explanation of what he was doing for curiosities sake. He didn’t have anything to hide here besides what he thought he did.

As the man’s face relaxed, the sudden chill of fright leaving him, a smirk was placed on his face with a half of a chuckle to follow, “Apologies.” Though the murderer wasn’t sure why he was apologizing,” I didn’t expect anyone to come by for an introduction.”

Gale kept the smile on for looks. There was no point not to have it when meeting someone new. They didn’t deserve a frown full of his inconsistent thoughts; however, thoughts could just as easily be seen through his eyes if one cared enough to look. Sadness and emotions in general always had to be expressed some way, shape, or form. Whether it was from the eyes, the tone of voice, their stroll, or their posture, there was always a way to tell someone’s mood.

The blonde’s original posture wasn’t exactly the best. He didn’t sit up straight, though it’s a common way to improve the tone of the instrument and provide better use of breathes. Though his knees were pulled close to his chest, his arms had hung loosely at his sides, the opposite of his neck and head which wouldn’t hand moved an inch if he wasn’t scared out of his horrifying pose. It was a jumbled mess that made one question how it was exactly comfortable. The answer is, it wasn’t. Which is why his position changed when a visitor came by.

After jumping out of his skin, his back straightened out, his arms no longer hung sloppily at his sides. His chin was up so he could look up at the girl and no seem like some sort of shy fool that cannot look a stranger in the eyes. His knees dropped to cross each other, giving him a more sociable demeanor then his previous position. It wasn’t confident or prideful, it was simply mannerly. After all, it wouldn’t do him any good to be an impolite, unapproachable vagik, would it?

Ghosts of the Past [Aello]

Postby Aello on December 27th, 2012, 6:37 pm

Aello's eyes sparkled rather playfully as a delicate grin crossed her lips. He doesn't know how to hold, she thought to herself as he fumbled with the old flute. As her eyes took in the sight, she could feel her heart beating a little faster as her thumb danced over the supple curve of carved wood, and her chest rose and fell evenly with each of her breaths. Slowly, lines etched themselves across her forehead, before her brow rose, falling into them with relative ease. "Whoever said I wanted an introduction?" Aello inquired as she ventured a single step closer to the stranger who rested before her.

When it had been taken, the distance that remained between them breached, the huntress paused. Allowing the silence to remain so that Gale could answer her before posing the second question that came to mind, "in any case, one is left to wonder... what are you doing here?"

OOCSorry this is pretty short, but I suppose pleasantries need be exchanged before we get to all the fun stuff.
