Heron prince is not happy.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

When he opened his eyes, he knew he wasn't in Tellius. The energy felt wrong, the air was filled with the far but foul stench of death he had learned to ignore while in the battlefield.



The heron prince felt weak, and he blamed the chaotic energy around him... but amidst the darkness, he could hear a soft voice, similar to the ones in Serenes.



Shaking, but not out of fear, he started walking toward the voice... it was a tree, with bright, golden fuits. The chaos didn't reach this place, and Reyson felt his strenght coming back.

The Solar Tree was pretty much Zidane's wonderful chilling spot.

He liked to spend the non-rainy free time he had there, listening to the wind in the leaves, and lulled by the tree's warmth.

So when he saw the newcomer, he decided that it was the polite thing to welcome him.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

Who is there?

[Frowny prince is frowning.]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Peeks from between the branches, and now he's hanging on his tail a little higher than the frowny heron.]

My name is Zidane, are you new here?

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[A tail?]

I am. Are you a laguz? I really cannot tell your tribe if you are.

I'm so happy I can use this icon.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Smiles!]

No I'm not one of those whatever it is... [H-he's swinging a little, he's a big kid xD]

This is a strange place, where several different people from different worlds gather.

xDDDD

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Still, uh. Tail.

Looks at the tree for a moment, looks like he's listening to something... then looks at Zidane again.]

I've never heard of beorc with tails before... you are a strange one.

Tee hee xD

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

We are all born with tails where I come from. [Smiles.]

[Swing... swing... swing...] The Tree sure likes you.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

She has spoken to me about this place. I'm grateful she decided to talk to a stranger like me.

[...Oh!]

I'm sorry, I never meant to be so rude. My name is Reyson. Well met, Zidane.

1/3

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you too. [Grins, hops from the Tree.]

2/3

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

So uh... She's a girl-tree then? [Scratches head.] I can't really talk to the Tree so I didn't know.

3/3

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

I hope she's not angry at me or something...

Awwww xD

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

Ah...

[This was unexpected. Can't help but smile, a bit amused.]

She took no offense. In fact, she speaks well of you.

El monito es magico xD

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Totally perks up at that.] R-really?

All right! I'll be very careful about that from now on. Thank you!

Lo es xD

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

Don't mind it...

[Looks at the tree again, consterned...]

This place houses too many chaotic energy, but I sense no other heron, no... no other laguz around. Am I the only one in here...?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

You are the first person of your kind I see here...

That's pretty normal, most of the people here are from different places.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[That doesn't make him feel any better.]

She spoke of dangers if I dare to go outside the walls, and insisted that I shouldn't. I see forests around, but they're silent... like if they were dead.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Nods.] There are undead outside, lots of them.

The thing is that they only come out during the night, because the sunlight destroys them... She protects the city from them, so we are safe here.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Mutters...]



[Frowns slightly.]

Safe? Or trapped?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Uh... Both, kinda.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Keeps quiet.

This place is unnatural. Twisted. It feels strained and harsh. How can there be harmony in here? It will only end up draining him from his energy... he can't be weak again. He can't be frail!]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

We've been trying to find a way out for a while... But we haven't got a real organization or anything.

I'm sorry I can't help you more.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

I understand this is far from our reach. Please, don't let my silence fool you... it was not aimed at you.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Smiles a little.] It wasn't because of that...

It's just that it looks like this place is not doing you any good.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

You can tell?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[SADFsdafjk] Y-yeah, just a little.

I... [Well, this one is a nice guy, plus the Tree likes him so...] I can see the hearts of people.

I don't understand them completely, but I can understand some things.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

...you are no ordinary beorc. None exist with that ability... not in Tellius, at least.

[Looks at him...]

What do you see in my heart?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

I'm not one of those things either, we don't have those in my world. [Scratches head.]

You look uneasy here, like something is continuously harming you... But you don't want to let it just happen. [T-that's as far as he gets.]

[Tiny smile, embarrassed.] I'm not good at this, I wasn't trained like brother was.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

If you're not a laguz, then you are a beorc. A strange one, granted, but a beorc.

The twisted energy in here won't let me use my ability. I too can see into the heart of other beings... as long as it is a calm enviroment. We are very much sensible to our surroundings.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Scratches head, wonders how the hell will Reyson deal with the robots and the other races they have around...] In my world we don't have either of those, but I guess there is no point in discussing.

[Oh well.] That's probably why she wants you to stay close to her. Getting used to this place takes some time.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Metallic beorc, clearly :| He won't discuss either, the heron doesn't feel well enough for that right now.]

Apparently, as long as I'm inside the walls I'll be safe. I wish to explore this place.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Nod nod.] I can give you a small tour if you want...

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[...at least he's not hearing worried voices all around him. He'll have a brave story to tell Tibarn.]

It's fine by me. I'll be able to stretch my wings a little.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

All right. This way!

[Have an awesome city tour, with much ranting.]

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Flying beside him... he feels a headache building. Zidane talks too much.]

</had to>

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Eee teahouse.] And this is the newest building, the teahouse.

The lady Master Guardian is the owner, if you ever need help on anything she's probably the right person to go to.

<3

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

Master Guardian?

[That title sounds important...]

*<3s back*

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

Guardians are people who take care of the world's hearts... She teaches Guardians to do their work, so she's a very important person.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

The world's heart... I see. It would be like the spirit of the world, am I wrong? The harmonic cycle of life of every being?

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's pretty much it.

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Thoughtful. A person with enough power to watch over the very essence of life must be a sight to behold. He eyes the teahouse for a moment, still flying beside Zidane.]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Grins at him.] Why don't you go pay her a visit? I'm sure she'd like to meet you... And maybe some warm tea can help you feel less uneasy?

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Uneasy is an understatement. Even when the Tree explained what she knew to calm him down, he was making a GREAT effort in not showing just how anxious he felt. His father was still weak. And that bastard Naesala had been around Leanne far too much. He himself had been working alongside his fellow laguz to ensure the peace everyone fought so hard to achieve...

He couldn't just accept he now was in a completely different world. Not... so fast, at least.]

Perhaps I will... I'd like to explore a little more from higher up first.

[To clear his mind. To be alone for a moment.]

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Nods, he may be oblivious but he's not stupid xD] All right then.

That's pretty much it from here, I hope it helped a little. [Grins.] I'll let you know if any of us makes any progress in finding a way out, all right?

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Zidane. You've been kind, hopefully I'll be able to repay the favor in the future.

[icanhaspants.livejournal.com]

[Another grin.] Let's hope there is no need.

See you around!

[icanpunch.livejournal.com]

[Nods... and takes flight.]
