BURNING UP CRAWLING DOWN taika

Enocra Woodland

Pine, spruce and firs alike...
Dense coniferous forests cover the woodlands, with clearings, paths and the occasional wildberry shrub throughout. Pine, spruce and fir make up much of the forest in the east, with the forest becoming swampier in the west towards Mecor Valley. In the west, cypress trees dominate, with fallen trees creating bridges across and throughout the stillwaters.

Seasons had come and passed and there was an ease with which we slid back into old routines. Frequently I would wake and have forgotten these memories yet realizing I HAD forgotten which left me disoriented often. Taika was patient, ever patient, and helped cajole the memories to the fore once more. It was pleasing to have her pressed against my side once more, to have finally found some semblance of peace. It still gnawed at me, this guilt, for if I had never left in the first place then things wouldn't be like this. Stunted and wild - but now that I had her and the memories I wasn't going to give them up. Not to mention when I realized Masque was my child. I had felt a sort of awe and hunger to be near her for she was so pure and innocent, a part of me that I would never have back, and I enjoyed her games even when I feigned grumpiness. What I wouldn't give to have that stolen time back.

The day is cool for a summer day and I lay with my head tilted into the breeze, eyes closed, and mouth agape. It is comfortable and I know Taika is nearby. I had hunted early at the break of dawn and managed to get a fat pheasant with which to feed her and Masque. It pleases me to care for them and assuages the constant guilt that burns in my throat. So much had happened between then and now and as much as I regretted it there was little to change it so I did my best to keep them comfortable. "Taika?" I called, lavender eyes opening as I scent the breeze. All seems to have gone silent and I have a sneaking suspicion she is stalking me but... the other implications has my heart racing and hackles rising as I slowly begin to push up...
