47th of Spring, 505 AV
The sun was bright in the sky, and the group of five Inarta were chattering happily. Syveris walked after them, making sure she was far enough so they wouldn't bother with her, but close enough so she wouldn't be left behind. The bright sky hurt her eyes a little when they had walked off the Inner Warrens, but now she had already got used to the light, and she looked around, curious.
It was the first time she was leaving Wind Reach, and her heart was bumping into her chest. Of course she had already seen the open sky, both in the Courtyard and through the many openings the mountain had, but she never had actually walked away from the city. The gush of wind played with her long hair and with her skin, and the Yasi instantly found that she liked it. A lot. It was refreshing and calming, and she was even relaxed by the great smell the wind brought. It was soothing.
Syveris returned her attention to the group that walked in front of her. Two women and three children, younger than she was. The Yasi had heard the group talking about going to the Edge of the World, and the talk had picked her curiosity. She had heard of parents bringing their kids to the place, to teach them how to climb. Syveris didn't have parents to do it for her, but she was willing to go on her own. Which was why she was following the Inarta.
It took a while for Them to reach the actual place, but Syveris didn't mind. The arbusts, the path, the sky above... Everything was so beautiful, so wonderful that she didn't even know if she wanted them to arrive at their destination. Even if climbing proved to be a borong activity, she would certainly walk the path to the Edge, if only to enjoy the wind. It seemed to caress her hair once again, and she giggled. It felt great, and she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had felt that relaxed.
An idea popped to her mind, and she smiled. Taking off her shoes, she secured them in her hand, while feeling the ground with her feet. Wonderful. Why would just being outside feel that great? Maybe it was because there, she didn't need to listen to what anyone was saying, there would be no screams and reprimands, no bendi or obligations. She loved Wind Reach, but she hated everyone in there. Except for the Endals and Wind Eagles.
Taking a moment to herself, she closed her eyes, feeling the land beneath her and the gentle wind that rushed around. Calming, soothing. Syveris knew she could just stand there for chimes, and she wouldn't get tired of it. But she couldn't, not if she wanted to actually reach the Edge of the World. She doubted that it could be any better than just being on the outside, but that didn't mean she would just be left behind. Running after the group, Syveris kept walking behind them.
