During the day, sentries guard the sleeping. When the sky is dark and the moon dances with the stars, this is when the real fun begins. Munashii Gekko's forest is the only haunt where you can find your local misfits all in one place. A land of the forbidden and forgotten, a place that is riddled with dangers of a whole different kind. The wolves here have long misplaced their rightful minds, and now live like creatures damned to prowl and lurk through the night. It's easy to lose yourself here, sanity was sure to fade away and wither; there was never anything normal about this nefarious nest. The silent threats that whispered in the breeze were enough to deter even the largest of demons around. It was not strength nor wit that ensured your survival here with Eric, and challengers would be torn down with a morose lethality - there was nothing left in his cold blue eyes that promised mercy to anyone who dared to overstep their worth. So, would you give up the sun for the moon and stars? Do you have enough vigor to become a well regarded sentry? - Put on a game face to step up and pass the sepia king's test or turn and leave before he catches your scent. You never know who wants to snack on your delicious blood in this forest.

Henadin: Kirastasia is angry and hurt - it was easy to see that even when I was peering through Kahlan's portals and read merely her body language. The clench and release of her jaws, the tightening of her delicately strong muscles that ripple under her pelt, the tears that vary from a free-flowing waterfall of sadness to a few large singular tears that bring the ess back to rage. It's easy to see Kira's counter argument to everything my sister says even though Kirastasia's own words are few - her facade is all too easy to read. And though I never knew her in Saw Tooth, I knew enough about her to see through her masks. This, this though was no mask. This was raw, wounded emotion that had somehow boiled up to the surface past all of her walls, all of her blocks. This was her bare heart showing now and with every spiteful word my sister spit at her, more and more cracks spread across its surface. Though I had been gently pushing myself to the surface, when I saw that, that was when I had instead turned into a battering ram, hammering upon Kahlan's defenses until I slammed through and took control. I was not much surprised when Kirastasia doubted it all. "I will wait." The words were hardly a murmur but I settled my - well Kahlan's body - upon the ground comfortably and looped my plume around my paws, the very tip of it flickering every few seconds, waiting from the brindled lass to calm down enough to figure everything out. She seemed like a ditsy femme, but she was a master of manipulation, and anyone who had that skill had to have smarts somewhere. I had never trusted her when I was alive - mainly because she was the devil's spawn, but also because I did not want her to manipulate my pups. I never thought about her instead digging her claws into my sister. But for all that, for all my dislike and fear for the safety of those I love, it seems that she is now my only hope to bring back the original version of my sister, my happy, caring, loving sister. If anyone can seek out and capture Kahlan's heart from the depths of hell where it hides in shame and in pain, it is this very varg in front of me. My brows raise as Kirastasia continues to rant and complain and I sighed, bored of the montage and ready to instead focus on a plan, on a solution. The minutes drag on until finally she falls silent. I give the briefest of smiles and dip my head even as I bite my tongue to prevent myself from spewing out yet another foul word into this conversation. The fact that it even crossed my mind is just one of a million different clues that I am not actually me - I rarely spoke ever, and yet here I was willingly entering into an entire conversation. And then my ears perk - Kirastasia is ready to formulate a plan with me. But first I must cut through the haunted thoughts that now cloud her judgement and clear her head. "Kirastasia snap out of your self-indulgent pity. If you have noticed one thing lacking most in this new Kahlan, what is it?" I pause, letting her think it over, perhaps even spew out a few answers. "Her emotions. Kenshin broke her, Moth died, Cai and Channing left, you left, and then Saw Tooth literally exploded. It was too much for her to bear, too much for her to handle. All she wanted was to be happy and never have to go through any of that again. So she began to compartmentalize... it just so happens that she then ran into you again, and you two shared a... lot of lovely nights together. It just so happens that she had already placed away a few of her emotions at that point, and the reason that she left was because she realized if she was to block it all out, you couldn't be there. She cared about you. She started to fall in love, but love has only ever brought her pain and misery. Fear had yet to be captured and so she ran, swallowing her pride and her one shot of happiness and left. In doing so, she shoved down the remnant of herself - love and fear. That is why it is so hard to get through to her now - you are the key to unlocking her again, but with that will come fear, and with fear will come a wave of pain that has been swelling and growth with each day. Releasing it might kill her, but living like this is no way to live either." I stop myself and swallow. It is so odd to not have my vocals be sore after talking so much - I was always used to feeling pain after talking due to atrophied cords from disuse. It is hard to get used to, but I must - this is my new normal, and I will never again be in my own body. Still, my one goal in life, my focus has not changed, be it this body or my own. "We need to work together to bring her back - even if you do not want to be with her, you are her only hope." |
