you set my soul alight - warner - 01-25-2016 THE SUPERSTARS SUCKED IN THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE He doesn’t really know how he ended up here. One minute he had been exploring his home in the gates and then next thing he knew a group of strangers had swept him up. He had maneuvered himself to the back of the group, intently watching every one of the strangers’ moves. They seemed confident in their selves and calmly herded the others away from the kingdom and to another land far away. What had once been open fields covered in tall grasses soon turned in towering, rocky cliffs. He could hear loud crashing of what he assumed was a large body of water. The sea wasn’t something familiar to the newborn that had only just started venturing from his mother’s side a couple of days ago. Mismatched eyes, one blue and one yellow, glance upwards to see a strange statue of iron looking down upon their little group. It was an ill omen to be sure. Their guard seems to let up when their group passes beneath the watchful, dead gaze of the iron stallion and Warner sees his chance to slip off. He was certainly small enough to perhaps escape their notice. They seemed more occupied with the blue roan girl than any of the others; he was a mere afterthought to them. The chestnut roan boy slows his pace and eventually drops off completely from the back of the group. He finds himself to be on some kind of soft earth, fine grains of golden brown cover the ground before him. It was much different from the rich, brown earth that covered his home. The source of the crashing noises became apparent as he watched, mesmerized, by the constant ebbing of foamy waves meeting the shoreline. A startling, sharp cry draws his gaze from the water to a frantically stumbling about seagull. Curious as to what could be the cause of its distress, Warner approaches the bird with the dragging wing. It squawks insolently at his approach and he snorts in reply. There’s obviously something wrong with its wing as it hangs limp and brokenly at its side. He grumbles at the annoying thing before poking at it. “Hold still!” Unknowingly, he instigates a seemingly miraculous event. The fragile broken bones begin to mend at his touch and torn muscles quickly stitch themselves back together. The surprised bird hops away from his touch and the uncomfortable sensations before flying off with a raucous noise. Warner watches its ascent with puzzlement. He was uncertain if they bird had really been injured in the first place or perhaps it had merely been faking its injuries.

He whips about in order to see the cause and his mismatched eyes (an inheritance passed down through his father and his father’s mother little did he know) alight upon a rather overbearingly purple girl. A silent staring match ensues and Warner is not inspired to break it any time soon. He’d rather she went away and refrain from letting his current location be released to any of his captors. Of course, perhaps he was looking at one of his captors already. She finally breaks the silence by approaching him with open curiosity and he is not sad to see that probing gaze fade away. It was uncomfortable to be scrutinized by a stranger and Warner felt like he perhaps hadn’t measured up in some odd way. He was rather silly for assuming such things but even one still so young could feel the pressures of judging peers. The boy simply didn’t have enough experience with social cues and calculating the inner workings of a stranger’s mind. “I didn’t do anything? It just flew away.” Warner hadn’t realized that he possessed what others might call a gift. He simply hadn’t lived long enough (a mere couple of days at most) to realize peculiar things about himself. After all, his only interactions had involved either his mother or the group of strangers who had taken him from his home. The boy couldn’t have known that the time he tripped and scraped his knees that he would have bled and eventually that blood would have clotted into scabbing. Instead, his skin had begun to stitch itself together before that process could even begin – all that remained was the traces of blood that had once ran freely down his legs. In fact, this girl’s wings were a source of curiosity for Warner. Her gift was obvious – one of the most physical of gifts one could possess. But it was an abnormality in his young eyes. All he knew was his pretty bay mother with her glittery shoes. Warner was coming to realize that perhaps this world was much too large for him to know intimately. Feathery wings and strange golden earth with its crashing waves was merely the tip to the iceberg.

He stares, bewildered, as she denies his words. But he truly didn’t realize that his words did indeed contain untruths when it came to describing what she had observed. The miraculously healing wings weren’t anything that stuck out to the young boy for most things seemed to fix themselves around him. He just hadn’t ever taken the time to wonder about these things; it was a normal facet of life in his eyes. For a brief moment, it seems her tirade has settled and she eyes him with a smug look in her eyes. He takes a startled step back towards the crashing waves behind him when her garishly-colored wings stretch out to their fullest length and flap a couple of times. He can’t help but watch their movements as they are something that’s he’s only ever seen placed on those of the Aves class and she certainly didn’t fit into that category. But that moment of relative calm was fleeting before she was back to tearing into him once again with narrowed eyes and a running commentary of pointed questions that he didn’t have the answers for. She was loud and in his space – an entirely new experience for the boy who only had his somewhat absent mother as his only companion in life. He sighs exasperatedly at her. “I don’t even know if it’s me doing anything to begin with. But sure, let’s test it out. First, let me just pull out a bunch of your feathers for the sake of the experiment.” Of course, he was merely bluffing. He wouldn’t actually go out of his way to meticulously hurt someone like that. The mere idea seemed absurd to him. But he tried to convey a quiet seriousness in his tone that might plant some reservations about him within that little brain of hers.

For all the haughtiness she was giving him, he thought it appropriate that she also shared in some of frustrations. She was certainly someone who thought highly of themselves. Warner has officially decided that this girl’s attitude must mean that she is in league with his kidnappers somehow. Otherwise, why would she seem to hold such hostility to his words. When she suggests other options for the experiment, he gives her an almost disdainful look. Was she really suggesting that they intentionally harm some defenseless creature out of morbid curiosity? “Bloodthirsty thing she is,” he mutters under his breath. The purple girl begins to head away from the beach and towards the cliffs while Warner reluctantly shuffles along behind her. He chooses to not answer her command and instead mismatched eyes anxiously watch as she scrutinizes the tall beach grass which grows at higher elevations away from the damaging waves. He’s decided that if she really was going to stomp on some poor creature, he’d have to intervene. The roan boy just wouldn’t stand for such a grotesque break in morality. She abruptly stops her search and seems to be intently studying something hidden in the wispy, windblown grasses. He is then rudely addressed and he can’t help but answer her inquiry. “It’s Warner. Shouldn’t that have been the first thing you asked?” But at least he now has a name to address her by. He draws closer and the thing she had found reveals itself to be a horrifyingly injured rabbit with its legs strewn every which way. “I hope this isn’t your work, because this is absolutely horrid.” He throws her a stern, disgusted look before returning his attention to the clearly dying rabbit. Warner lowers his head, hesitates in a brief moment of incredulity, before touching the poor thing’s floppy ears. He draws back with wide eyes as the creaking and snapping of bones begins and its’ fur begins to stitch itself back together. The clearly lifeless body and dull eyes now shown with life and after several minutes of awed silence it hops away in a frenzy. Warner turns to stare back at Kirke. “Well that was unexpected.” (michaelis x orani) RE: you set my soul alight - Kirke - 04-10-2016 peel away the layers till you're nothing and no one kirke RE: you set my soul alight - warner - 04-28-2016 THE SUPERSTARS SUCKED IN THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE He’s certainly feeling the contempt ingrained in those last few words she threw at him, but he can’t claim knowledge of something he’s never been made aware of. But she seems almost impressed by his ability and he wondered if it was something different. Considering the girl standing before him was decked out in bright purple and rainbow colored wings, he’d have to say she’s probably run across her fair share of oddities. Instead, he was from a completely different kingdom where his only experience with oddities involved his mother’s glittery hooves. Otherwise, he had met no one else who resided there. Orani had been most quiet within the kingdom these past few years and mainly kept to herself. Perhaps this was why he had been such an easy target for these strangers to kidnap. He had been by himself, practically defenseless, a baby bird who had fallen from its nest and into the hungry cat’s claws. “Well excuse me for not assuming I was some weirdo. It’s not like I wander around hoping to find broken things to fix in my free time.” In fact, the sea gull and this rabbit had been his first attempts at healing things outside himself. As all young foals, he’s had his fair share of scrapes when mastering the ability to walk and to explore his surroundings. But the bleeding never seemed to linger for long and instead of days, it might have been a matter of hours for his scratches to disappear. But when he’s had no comparisons to make to himself, it was difficult to realize that there might be something else going on. Mismatched eyes stare sulkily at the purple girl before him. “So you’ve made your point. Happy now?” (michaelis x orani) RE: you set my soul alight - Kirke - 05-15-2016 peel away the layers till you're nothing and no one kirke |
